Sylvia had only established her intelligence network two days ago, and she had gained something today. She looked at the intelligence data collected by her subordinates, handed Leo the part of the lumberjack family, and asked

: "Need to help them?"

Sylvia attaches great importance to intelligence collection, so on the first day she arrived at the manor, she began to establish an intelligence network in nearby towns.

If it were normal times, she might take the high-level route like Beluk City and establish a complete intelligence system from top to bottom, but this is not feasible in the towns around Mount Trubo, which are all small towns.

, except for a few department officials directly under the capital, the highest-ranking people were only village heads and mayors, and there was no high-level route for her to follow.

So she could only choose to start with the small forces at the bottom and spread out a market intelligence network.

In the past, she might have needed some time and experience to complete this matter, but now her ability can easily solve some key problems, such as issues of loyalty and ability.

By inheriting the abyss magic from the Abyss Demonic Dragon, she easily used her power to corrupt and control the leaders of several small forces in surrounding towns, and then used these low-level leaders to destroy various things that others would not care about.

All kinds of intelligence information were collected, and she could easily find the intelligence information she wanted from these trivial pieces of information.

For example, this time the information about what other lumberjack families planned to do while taking advantage of the instability within the Ruf family came from the kitchen purchases of a lumberjack family that had a hostile relationship with the Ruf family. Judging from the contents of the purchase list

, it is obvious that this family is having a banquet, and coupled with the carriage travel records of other lumberjack families, it is not difficult to guess what these lumberjack families are going to do.

After taking a look at the information, Leo said: "No need, they probably won't really kill the Rufu family. At most, they will only weaken the strength of the Rufu family. If they can really destroy other people by themselves,

If the family comes to obtain the other party's Kalita Demon Contract, there will not be so many lumberjack families now. Moreover, the Rufu family, whose strength has been greatly reduced and internally unstable, is more suitable to be our collaborator. Only

Only then will he be willing to trade all the secrets of the lumberjack family."

Sylvia nodded, she had the same idea as Leo, and she even thought more radically than Leo.

In her plan, she plans to find opportunities to encourage the lumberjack families to kill the Rufu family. Even if the instigation fails, she can use the power of the abyss to influence the minds of these people when necessary and make them make wrong decisions.

.

When the time comes, she and Leo only need to rescue Bain and protect him when only Bain is left in the Rufu family. By then, the family will be ruined and Bain, who is helpless, will have no choice but to surrender to them, let alone logging.

It is a secret of the Gong family, even the Kalita Demon Contract belonging to the Rufu family will still be given with both hands.

However, after careful consideration, she still felt that Leo's bystander approach was more prudent, because she didn't know whether her approach would trigger the taboo rules of the Kalita Demon Contract, in case her behavior as an indirect accomplice happened to be

Things were a bit troublesome after the Luff family's Kalita Demon Contract was triggered and she became the target of attack.

Although she believes that with her current strength, she will definitely not be harmed by the normal Kalita Demon Contract, but the current Kalita Demon Contract is an abnormal contract. Who can guarantee that it will not be more dangerous and deadly?

Strength, now she and Leo have plenty of time, they can take their time, there is no need to rush.

Sylvia put the information about the lumberjack family aside, and then quickly flipped through the information. Suddenly she found an interesting thing in a piece of information, so she picked it out and handed it to Leo.

Said: "Look at this information, I find it very interesting!"

Leo took the information and looked at it, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The content of the information was very simple. When two drunkards were drinking in a tavern, they were bragging about how great their ancestors were and how glorious their family was in the past.

If it were just this kind of drunken bragging, it would not attract the attention of Leo and Sylvia. What really aroused their interest was that one of the drunkards boasted about his ancestors. He mentioned that his ancestors came from

A powerful empire led by the famous man Falim, this empire unified the entire continent under the leadership of a monarch named the Knight King and became the only country on that continent.

After the drunkard said these words, he was naturally laughed at by his fellow drunkards and other people in the tavern, because as we all know, whether it is the Old World or the New World, there has never been an empire that can unify the entire continent.

Although there were several powerful empires in the history of the Old Continent, those empires were only empires of a region, not the empire of the entire continent.

As for the New World, there was indeed a unified political power in the early stages of migration, but that political power was not an empire, but more like an alliance, and it fell apart in less than a year.

The drunkard who was laughed at was still not convinced, and then said a lot of things about that empire, as if that empire really existed in this world, but no one in the tavern took it seriously, just treating it as a drunken affair.

Just crazy talk.

However, these contents were overheard by a gangster who was in the tavern at the time. He found it interesting, so he collected it and handed it to his head, and finally found it on Sylvia's desk.

These drunken words that others think are crazy talk are completely different to Leo and Sylvia, because the word Falim is the pronunciation of the local Tevis language of the Ot Federation. If

Converting this pronunciation into another language that both Leo and Sylvia are familiar with, the pronunciation of the word Falim becomes Faran.

If it were just a similar word, Leo and Sylvia wouldn't have to pay too much attention, but the empire that unified the entire continent, the knight king who accomplished this great feat, and all the details of that empire's society, none of them

It shows that the Farim mentioned by the seemingly crazy drunkard is Farim, which means that the ancestors of the drunkard come from the Farim Empire in the world of Velen.

"Find out his origins." Leo also became somewhat interested and said.

Although the area around Mount Troub is very large, there are not many people living there and there are very few towns. It is very simple to get information about a person.

After Sylvia's order was issued, the relevant information was handed over that afternoon.

"This person is a bit unusual." Sylvia said with some surprise after reading the information.

Leo also took the information and looked at it. The content of the information was not very much. It only showed that the drunkard lived in the Travert Manor at the foot of Mount Troubo, and that there were very strict guards around the manor. It seemed that the drunkard

Has a high status.

Because the manor was tightly guarded, and the local police station went to the local gangster leaders directly to issue a warning, the low-level gangsters were unable to investigate any more information.

Seeing this, Leo thought for a moment, then shook the bell on the table. After a while, he saw the butler coming in from the outside and said, "Do you have any orders? Sir."

Leo asked: "Do you know Travet Manor?"

"Yes, sir." the butler replied.

Leo asked again: "Who is the owner of that manor?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and said: "The owner of that manor is Duke Perrin of the Kingdom of Teresa, but the second son of Duke Perrin currently lives there."

"Theresa's Kingdom?" Leo was stunned, thought for a moment, and confirmed: "Is it the Theresa's Kingdom in the old continent?"

"Yes." The butler nodded.

Sylvia wondered: "Why does the Duke of the Old World Kingdom have a manor property in the Ot Federation in the New World?"

The housekeeper was also very knowledgeable and quickly explained: "When the Federation was founded, the Kingdom of Teresa had given the Federation a lot of help, so after the Federation was founded, the Federation gave back many things to the Kingdom of Theresa, including

There is land, and the land of Travert Manor was one of the lands given to the Kingdom of Theresa. Later, the land was given to the Duke of Perrin by Queen Theresa, and the Duke of Perrin built a manor there.

Serves as a penal colony for members of the Duke's family."

Leo muttered: "That means the second son of Duke Perrin who lives there is an exiled person."

Sylvia asked: "For what reason was he exiled?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but you can ask Mr. Cady. He works in the Secret Service and may know some information."

After asking for nothing, Leo signaled to the butler that he could leave, and then he called Cady. However, the butler obviously overestimated Cady's knowledge base, let alone what happened in Theresa's kingdom.

, it is not even clear that the owner of Travet Manor is a foreigner.

Leo could only ask the housekeeper to find as much information about the Kingdom of Theresa as possible, because he and Sylvia suspected that the Belmont family who lived here might have moved to the Kingdom of Theresa now. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why.

So the distant Kingdom of Teresa would be concerned about the political changes in the hinterland of the New World, and it is difficult to explain why the Duke of Perrin wanted to build a manor at the foot of Mount Trouber as a place of exile for family members.

Because the Kingdom of Teresa played a great role in the establishment of the Otter Federation, even though the Kingdom of Theresa and the Otter Federation had no trade or political exchanges, the Kingdom of Theresa was still very strong within the Otter Federation.

Dear, there are many books about Teresa's Kingdom in the Federation, so the process of collecting information by the housekeeper went very smoothly.

Regarding the information about Theresa's Kingdom, Leo had only seen it from some miscellaneous books. Those miscellaneous books were some philosophy-related books passed down from Theresa's Kingdom. Judging from the contents of the books, Theresa's Kingdom should be

A country with a very strong cultural and academic atmosphere.

However, when Leo looked through various information about the Kingdom of Theresa collected by the butler, he discovered that his speculation was incomplete. The Kingdom of Theresa is indeed a country with a strong humanistic and academic atmosphere. The Old World

The most famous academic city is located in the Kingdom of Theresa, but the Kingdom of Theresa is actually very martial. Except for a few nobles in the country who were eventually knighted because of certain academic achievements, all other nobles

They are all military nobles.

There is even a very strict title inheritance law in the country, that is, only descendants of nobles with certain merits are eligible to inherit the title. Once there is no suitable heir, the title will be revoked, even if it is a duke.

exception.

However, the Kingdom of Theresa itself has no war to fight, and the surrounding countries are all subordinate countries that have surrendered. Therefore, to solve this problem, the Kingdom of Theresa has formed a very unique mercenary military merit exchange system.

The most indispensable thing in the old continent is war, so mercenaries are always the most scarce resource. The Kingdom of Teresa allows domestic nobles with no military exploits to privately recruit a certain number of mercenaries, and then accept employment from other countries, join the war, and recognize

The military exploits performed during his employment can also be exchanged for the military exploits of the Kingdom of Teresa according to a certain proportion. Once the exchange of military exploits is completed, the noble will automatically transform into a military noble, and his private mercenary army must be disbanded.

, ending his status as a mercenary forever.

This approach has made up for the loopholes in the title inheritance bill of Kingdom Teresa, and has also made the nobles in the kingdom always elites, and the descendants of the nobles who have not received the right of inheritance have one more way out. Most of them will be in the inheritance rights.

After confirming, leave the Kingdom of Teresa and choose the path of mercenary military service and obtaining noble status in other countries. Of course, there are some who are not willing to endure hardship. Most of them will be sent to some remote places to prevent them from causing trouble in the noble succession ceremony.

.

Therefore, the person in Travet Manor now is probably a deportee who failed in the competition for inheritance and is unwilling to take risks and endure hardship.

In addition, the royal emblem of the Kingdom of Teresa is very interesting. Unlike the royal emblems of many countries, the royal emblem of the Kingdom of Teresa is not some legendary beast or mythical beast, but a flower named holy, and this flower

No one has ever seen the holy flower before, as if it is a plant that does not belong to this world.

However, both Leo and Sylvia, after seeing the flower on Theresa's royal emblem, recognized it at first sight as the common seven-petal flower in the French Empire, although it was not a French flower.

It is the national flower, but it is no different from the national flower of France.

"When we have time, maybe we can send him an invitation." Leo suggested.

Sylvia nodded in agreement: "Yes, I also want to see if he is related to the Belmont family, or if they are just ordinary people who came to this world with the tower wizard."
