After reaching an agreement with Prince Philip and the others, Leo did not stay in the attic room any longer, nor did he intend to participate in their negotiations with Duke Devin. He just left the attic decisively, taking the book with him at the same time.

The Book of Night was taken away.

Rupert Fitz didn't seem to care about Leo taking the reward before completing the task, or to be more correct, he didn't care about the gain or loss of the Book of Night.

When taking away the Book of Night, Leo felt that Rupert Fitz felt more like he was relieved, and his whole person seemed much more relaxed.

This was not Leo's illusion, but Leo's spiritual vision truly saw a cold black spiritual energy dissipating from Rupert Fitz's body, and this spiritual energy returned to him.

gather.

"Is it a curse?" Leo felt that this spiritual energy was penetrating into his body and drilling into the bone marrow. He couldn't help but frowned and smiled again.

Compared to five days ago, Leo at this time has a deeper understanding of the mysticism of this world. With the support of a large amount of information in the accessory brain database, he can't say that he is the person who knows the most about all kinds of mysterious knowledge in the dark world in the world.

, but it will definitely not be much worse than the people from the Lost World Society who specialize in the knowledge of the dark world.

The moment he felt the black psychic power seeping into his body, Leo almost didn't need to use his deputy brain to retrieve relevant information. He could already easily determine what this black power was, and he also knew about this power.

source of.

He is not worried about the harm this spiritual power will cause him, but is more looking forward to the effects this power can have, so that he can personally experience the effects of this magical power, and use it to study

Its secret.

By reading a large amount of occult materials, Leo knew that there are many more types of spiritual energy called magic in this world than in the Earth Federation. There are as many as eight types of magic according to the statistics of the Strange News Society, and there are not many types of magic.

There may be more statistics.

The Earth Federation's psychic energy is mainly of two types: control and destruction. For example, the spiritual network, the spiritual chain is to control psychic energy, psychic waves, and the psychic heavy impact is to destroy psychic energy. Its range and power are those of the Earth Federation and other ethnic groups in the universe.

The goals pursued by psykers.

However, this world is more willing to divide the spiritual energy called magic in a very detailed manner. In addition to the destruction, control and other spiritual abilities that the Earth Federation already has, there are also various spiritual abilities with different effects such as curses, healing, protection, etc.

able.

In addition, power and range are not the main pursuits of psykers in this world. Control is the most frequently mentioned word in all occult books about magic. It is constantly emphasized in almost all books about magic, including wizards' notes.

Uncontrolled magic can be fatal to the user.

Among all magic powers, the most difficult to control is curse. A book dedicated to recording curse cases mentioned more than once that anyone who uses curse witchcraft to curse others will also be harmed by the power of the curse. Every book in the book

The final outcome of a story is that neither the cursed nor the cursed will end well.

In the old Earth era of the Earth Federation, there were many stories about curses, but the Earth Federation has proven through various means that the power of curses does not actually exist.

So when Leo determined from the book that the world possessed this magical power called a curse, he became curious about this power. Now he can feel that this cursed spiritual energy is seeping into his body bit by bit, and he is even more excited about it.

More excitement than fear.

At this time, Leo directly activated three psychic skills: mechanical will, perfect control and psychic vision, allowing his control and observation of psychic powers to reach the current limit.

However, he did not control the power of his spiritual energy to expel the curse, but simply observed from the sidelines, allowing the power of the curse to seep in and gradually adhere to his bones, forming identical Turing roots one after another.

At the moment when the root of Turing was formed, Leo felt an unprecedented spiritual power emerge out of thin air in his brain. This spiritual power penetrated into some nerve cells in the brain and integrated with it.

, became part of his brain.

"Dream factor?" This situation made Leo suddenly think of a hypothesis of the Earth Federation.

Some scientists who are psionicists have proposed that the reason why humans dream is because some nerve cells in the cerebral cortex are infected by some kind of psychic energy, which passively connects the human spirit with a certain dream subspace, ultimately producing a

The person who proposed this hypothesis called this psychic ability the dream factor.

"What's wrong with you? Did they make any embarrassing demands?" At this time, Wayne Thomas, the ambassador of the Kingdom of England to Miria, who had been waiting in the corridor, saw Leo walking out of the room, with a look on his face

Somewhat dignified, he couldn't help but come up to him and ask.

At this time, after discovering that the cursed psychic power had stopped functioning, Leo also released all kinds of psychic skills and returned to normal, and responded: "They just asked me to deal with one person, the commander of the First Legion of the French Empire.

In front of the Milia City Police Headquarters tomorrow."

"What? Are you asked to assassinate the commander of the First Legion in front of the police headquarters?" After hearing Leo's account, Wayne Thomas couldn't help showing doubts and asked in a deep voice: "Did you do anything during the assassination?"

Is it possible that someone will find out?"

"Why do you ask?" Leo asked doubtfully.

Wayne Thomas said with a serious expression: "The kingdom is currently preparing for peace talks with Duke Devin. If you are discovered to have assassinated the commander of the First Army at this time, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the peace talks."

"Peace talks?" Leo was stunned, and couldn't help but sneered: "I'm curious, in the eyes of the nobles of the kingdom, what are the soldiers who died in Buletei? Toy soldiers that can be discarded at any time?"

After hearing Leo's words, Wayne Thomas did not refute. In fact, when he received the news, he also felt the same atmosphere, but he also felt helpless.

Wayne Thomas was silent for a moment and said: "Three days ago, Duke Devin rented fifty Velen-class battleships from the Kingdom of Sigmar, and in conjunction with the French Empire's own fleet, has blocked the surrounding waters of Vinaya Port.

, the 7th, 9th and 13th legions of the French Empire on the ground have blocked all access to the land. Now more than 100,000 British soldiers are trapped in Vinaya Port. If it were you, what would you do?

?”

Leo replied coldly: "If it were me, I would not start such an inexplicable war, at least not without any preparation."

Wayne Thomas chuckled slightly sarcastically and said: "Don't say it so confidently, it's because you haven't sat on that chair at all. When you sit on it, you will find out what you said today."

childish."

"Don't you two think your current conversation is ridiculous?" Annie stood beside them and said with a smile: "A fringe politician who was thrown into an enemy country, a low-level soldier who is nothing, is now arguing about this complete

Even I feel a little ridiculous when listening to the national political affairs that I can barely master?"

Leo was stunned when he heard what Annie said. He felt that he seemed to think of himself more and more as an Englishman. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, and Wayne Thomas also showed the same self-deprecating look.

Leo quickly put away his smile, thought about Wayne Thomas's words, was silent for a moment, and then asked Wayne Thomas: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, please wait for the information about the First Legion outside the city.

Leave it to me. In addition, the information on the commander of the First Army should be as detailed as possible, and it would be best if there is a camp defense map."

"What are you going to do?" Wayne Thomas was stunned. It seemed that he did not intend to follow Prince Philip's request to kill the commander of the First Army in public tomorrow, but there was something else.

idea.

"Your Majesty, just send me the information. Don't ask about anything else." Leo didn't explain. He turned to look at Annie and asked, "Where are Jason and the others? I have something to tell them.

.”

Anne immediately replied: "I have arranged them in the Stone Palace now. It is safer there than here. I will take you to see them!"

After saying that, Anne led Leo out of the red house and walked towards the stone palace not far away.

On the way, Leo opened his mental network to explore the surrounding situation, and soon a large amount of information was fed back to his retina. Seeing this data, he frowned, walked to Annie's side, and asked in a deep voice

Said: "Do you know who assigned the person who attacked you?"

"I don't know!" Anne shook her head and said, "We thought it was Rupert, but he didn't admit that he did it. Rupert wouldn't disdain to lie about this kind of thing. Why do you suddenly ask

This question?" As she said this, she immediately became alert, looked around calmly, and said, "Is there any danger around you?"

"It's just some eyes and ears." Leo determined the location of the nearest eyes and ears to him and motioned to Anne. Anne also cooperated to cover him, hooked his arm, turned around and walked to a women's cosmetics store.

middle.

Then, while Annie was choosing cosmetics, he used the excuse of going to the toilet, climbed over the high wall from the small courtyard behind the store, attached his psychic energy to the soles of his feet, and silently stepped on the red tiles of the roof, arriving some distance away.

On the second floor of a residential building not far from the cosmetics store.

After standing at the window for a while, Leo suddenly opened the window and jumped directly into the room on the second floor of the house. Before the other party could give any warning, he killed an old man who was monitoring the red house.

Holding it in his hand, he directly used the psychic technique to penetrate the spiritual chain into the other person's brain and absorb the information in his brain.

A large amount of information was ingested from the other party's brain, and was absorbed and archived by the accessory brain system. When the extracted information became chaotic and broken, Leo stopped the psychic technique and let the spiritual chain dissipate naturally, and the old man whose memory he extracted also

Without exception, they became dementia-like.

As Leo expected, this old man was indeed a spy, and he was also a leader with a high status. But what surprised him was that these spies were not spies from the enemy country of France, nor spies from the Kingdom of England.

, but a secret agent of the Maris Kingdom.

Since the psychic power has reached the third level, the psychic control talent has also been upgraded to the third level, so the effect of the psychic technique has also been improved. The extracted memories are no longer chaotic fragments, but relatively complete memories, which also saves time.

After going to the assistant brain system to organize and analyze the memory, the moment he returned to the store, he had completely sorted out the secret agent's memory.

Through these memories, Leo knew that this spy was a small leader in the Miria area of ​​the black-clad organization of the Maris Kingdom, and controlled a part of the Maris Kingdom spies in the city of Miria.

The group of people who attacked the Red House last time were not Duke Devin or Rupert, but people from the Kingdom of Maris. The reason was not because of what was happening in the French Empire, but because of the flint in Jason's hand.

Fire hand cannon.

The Kingdom of Maris has always favored gunpowder weapons. The first organized gunpowder firearms army in the Velen world came from the Kingdom of Maris. The first artillery army composed of special gunpowder also came from this country. There are rumors that this

The country has begun to improve newer types of gunpowder, but the results are unknown. In short, this country has an unusual obsession with any kind of gunpowder weapon.

When Jason was maintaining the flintlock handguns he had in the red room and firing a few rounds, he was accidentally seen by an officer from the Maris Kingdom's embassy passing by, which aroused the interest of the Maris Kingdom.

Then a series of things happened.

The reason why the Men in Black organization still sends spies to monitor the red house is because they discovered that Wayne Thomas, the ambassador of the Kingdom of England, suddenly visited the house, and there were also some unknown people around the house.

Someone from the Men in Black organization once had some conflicts with people from these forces. Not only did they not gain the upper hand, but they lost some people. So the Men in Black organization became curious and sent people to continue to monitor this place in order to find out.

Some useful information.

After leaving the cosmetics store with Anne, Leo told Anne some of the things he had just found out. Anne was a little surprised when she heard this. Like Leo before, she thought that the attackers were not Rupert's people.

It was Duke Devin, but he never thought that he was related to the Kingdom of Maris.

"Nilson and Jason are in the Stone Palace now, will they be in trouble?" Leo asked in a deep voice as he quickened his pace.

Anne shook her head and said: "There shouldn't be any trouble. The Church of the Hill King and the Kingdom of Maris are not one and the same. The church does not need to obey the orders of the Kingdom of Maris. In addition, Nelson and Catherine have been together recently.

The world's first set of battlefield emergency care manuals has been compiled. The medical school and medical association have decided to award the highest level of the Seven-leaf Clover Medal. The Kingdom of Maris will not do anything detrimental to them. At most, it will just find excuses to treat them.

Jason's weapons were taken away for surveying and drawing."
