Through the marks left on the bodies of those directly under the Dark Lord, Leo quickly found a secret room hidden in the large garden of the inner walled city.

This secret room was very large, occupying almost half of the underground area of ​​the large garden. Leo didn't know what it was used for before, but now it was used to treat people who went crazy because of implants.

On the ground floor of the secret room lay all the crazy people who had been sent here. Without exception, their hands, feet and bodies were immobilized and they could not move. In addition, none of them had serious injuries, which would allow them to survive the pain of the operation. , as for those with serious injuries, they will all be treated as casualties on the road and will not be sent here.

Although the people responsible for treating these crazy people are said to be shamans, and they also have some extraordinary power aura that shamans should have, their method of treating these injured people is more like doctors.

While not giving any anesthesia or other drugs to the crazy person, they controlled a special plant to penetrate into the crazy person's body, constantly stimulating the crazy person's implant to continue mutating, and then through some craniotomy tools used by doctors, For example, use a hand-cranked hole opener to open a hole in the crazy person's head facing the implant. In the process of rapid mutation of the implant, there is a slight chance that the implant can escape from the crazy person's brain. The implant is removed, and then the excavated skull is covered back, waiting for it to heal.

The entire operation does not require any anesthesia, and the patient needs to be exposed to long-term stimulation. Even if the implant is successfully removed, the patient will have to rely on luck to avoid postoperative complications.

Therefore, although a large number of able-bodied mad people were sent here for treatment, not many of the cured people were able to be carried out alive in the end. The vast majority either died during the treatment process or died during the surgery. Later, complications arose, and many of them were even unable to bear the surgical process and subsequent physical pain, and chose to commit suicide at the moment when the restraints were lifted.

As for how many of these crazy people can be cured in the end, the shamans who were recruited by the dark masters did not care. Even the people assigned by the dark masters no longer came here. They cared more about the number of people who recovered from the heads of the crazy people. Excavated implant.

The moment those implants were dug out, they were immediately put into a special metal box. A large number of mysterious symbols were engraved on the box. These symbols generated some power and made the implants in the box In a dormant state.

Every implant that was dug out was carefully sealed. After a certain number was collected, a team composed entirely of extraordinary people was sent to transport out of the secret treatment room and out of the large garden, along the cleared path. , and there were a large number of city guards patrolling the team, all the way to the torch located in the center of the city.

The Torch Building is the tallest building in the entire Red Earth City, with a total height of thirty-three stories. Among many cities in the Old World, this building can be ranked among the top ten in height.

The architect who designed and supervised the construction of this building was Guy Albert, a very famous architect in the Old World at that time. Nine out of ten great buildings that can be named in the entire Old World were created by him. He was also the architect. Known for his religious architecture, he rarely designed folk buildings, so no one at the time knew why this master architect would build such a thirty-three-story building for the lawless place of Red Earth City.

What's interesting is that when this building was first built, it was not used to live in people, but to tell the time, because every day the staff in the building would light the torches on different floors at different times. Because the building is very high, the entire inner siege

It can be seen from all over the city, so some people at that time called it the Time Building.

Later, the Red Earth City was expanded and separated the inner and outer urban areas. They were also separated by city walls of different heights, which greatly weakened the time-telling effect of the building. In the end, only the perennial brazier at the top of the building was retained. Its time-telling effect

The function was cancelled, and the building was transformed into rooms and became a large hotel.

The ownership of the Torch Building has changed hands several times. The current owner of the Torch Building is Roland Sanges, a large smuggler in Red Earth City. His smuggling caravans account for more than half of the entire Red Earth City smuggling caravans, and his wealth is also that of Red Earth City.

The most, naturally he also has the most men and horses.

However, such a big man who could shake up the Red Earth City at any movement died on his mistress's belly. What's even more strange is that according to the time of death, he died not long after he climbed into his mistress's bed.

, but his mistress said that he still did things with her for a long time, and it didn't end until midnight.

Although the room he and his mistress were in was not the top floor of the Torch Building, it was still twenty-seven stories high. The windows were polished with crystal and could not be opened or closed. The walls were not ordinary walls, but were thickened with a layer of steel plates.

There were also more than a dozen protectors outside the room, including several extraordinary beings. Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for him to be assassinated, but in fact he was indeed assassinated.

Some people also suspected that it was the mistress, because only this mistress had the chance to kill Roland Sanges, but this theory was quickly refuted, because the mistress was just an ordinary person, and Roland Sanges did not.

He is a real extraordinary person and an experienced old warrior. Not to mention the mistress whose power is not as strong as that of ordinary people. Even a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles cannot kill him silently, or even let him kill her silently.

He didn't even have time to cry out for help.

And the reason that finally dissuaded people that the mistress was not the killer was that someone was willing to vouch for her, and the guarantor turned out to be Roland Sanges's wife.

It was impossible to find out the cause of Roland Sanges' death in a short time, and no one was willing or had the time to pursue it, because the great turmoil soon broke out in the inner siege and spread to all the forces.

In this case, Roland Sanges's wife Linda Sanges did an excellent job of calming down the disputes within her own forces, and obtained two-thirds of the large and small forces previously controlled by Roland Sanges.

He received the support of others and accepted most of her husband's business. He also played a role in stabilizing the situation during the turmoil and protected many ordinary people living in the inner walled area who were affected by the turmoil in the Torch Building.

Although the turmoil in Red Earth City is not over yet, anyone with a little bit of sanity knows very well that Linda Sanges will definitely become one of the giants in Red Earth City. Some people even speculate that Linda Sanges has obtained

A dark chair.

If it was just a rumor that Linda Sanges had become one of the dark masters before, then most people in the inner siege no longer think this is a rumor, because now the people who belong to the dark master have already

He used the Torch Building as his base and went in and out without hesitation. Some people even saw Linda Sanges directing these people to do things.

The sealed implants extracted from those crazy people were immediately sent to the Torch Building. After being handed over to the personnel in the building, they were sent directly to the top floor by the people in the building.

At this moment, the top floor of the building has been transformed into storage rooms. These storage rooms are all filled with implants. The staff of the building are recording the number and status of each implant in an orderly manner.

As the current nominal resident of the building, Linda Sanges was sitting idle. She didn't look like a commander, but more like a bystander. What was more interesting was sitting next to her.

The person she was wearing happened to be the mistress of her dead husband. Judging from some of their actions, their relationship was very unusual.

After counting the latest batch of implants and putting them into storage, the supervisor in charge of the storage walked up to Linda Sanjes and comforted her in a low voice: "Please don't worry, we are just borrowing your building, and we will wait."

Once this commotion subsides, the things here will be moved out immediately."

"I would rather know what you are going to do with me after the turmoil subsides." Linda Sanges asked, although the look on her face was very calm, but there was a hint of worry in her tone.

While she was asking, the mistress sitting next to her couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.

The other party smiled and said: "You are the widow of Roland Sanges, and you are also the heir to all his property. The agreement between Roland Sanges and us has also been inherited by you, so what was before is what it is now."

What it is like, except for changing a collaborator, nothing will change."

Linda Sanges did not breathe a sigh of relief, but continued to ask: "Even if I planned to kill Roland, and his death almost caused your plan to go wrong, does it not matter?"

"Mr. Roland's death did not affect our plan. On the contrary..." Haha, there are some things you don't need to know. In addition, you don't have to worry about how Mr. Roland died. For us, Mr. Roland's death is a big deal.

Life is insignificant." The other party did not finish the sentence, smiled, and gave Linda Sangers a reassuring answer, saying: "We are more concerned about the follow-up cooperation and whether the task we entrusted to you can go smoothly.

Finish."

"Which commission are you talking about?" Linda Sanges frowned and said: "Roland has always handled each commission personally. I have no way to get involved. Now let me complete it.

I am afraid……"

The other party smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as the situation stabilizes, people over there will take the initiative to relieve you. At that time, you just need to operate the matter in the normal way. There is no need for extra actions until we need it."

When you were there, you were following our instructions. You see, isn’t this a very simple thing?”

Linda Sanges did not ask any more questions. She knew very well that continuing to ask would be detrimental to her current situation. She only needed to be an honest collaborator now, and the rest would wait until she truly mastered them.

We’ll talk about the troops and forces left behind by that damn husband later.

At the same time, the people who were talking did not realize that on the roof above, Leo was spying on their every move through the spiritual network, and he also heard the content of their conversation.

From the simple conversation between these people, Leo was certain of at least a few things. First of all, Roland Sanges was definitely not one of the dark masters, and his power was not as powerful as the outside rumors said. At least in the smuggling area, he

It should be that they are just pretending to be powerful, and the person who really controls the smuggling caravan should be one of the secret masters of Red Earth City.

In addition, Leo realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding because of various rumors about Red Earth City itself, that is, the mastermind of Red Earth City must be a local force in Red Earth City, but now the person downstairs is responsible for sorting out the implants

But it made him understand that the dark masters of Red Earth City can also be non-Red Earth City forces, and they can completely control Red Earth City through other means.

If you think about it this way, then Kit, who was first assassinated, was probably not the mastermind of Red Earth City. He was probably a puppet who was pushed to the forefront. The real mastermind of Red Earth City was most likely Barbarissa.

This made Leo change his view of Barbarissa, because in his mind Barbarissa was a powerful man who did not like to actively cause trouble and liked to live a leisurely life, but now it seems that Barbarissa is lazy and leisurely.

Underneath his appearance and behavior, I am afraid there is still an ambition that is ready to move. Otherwise, he would not have been able to lay out the Red Earth City a long time ago.

At least in Leo's opinion, Barbarissa had already begun to interfere with the power of Red Earth City in Kit's blacksmith shop before he emerged in Red Earth City. He might even have become one of the secret masters of Red Earth City at that time.

And the last thing that made Leo certain was that the Transcendent Organization must also be one of the dark masters of Red Earth City, because the person who just talked to Linda Sanges was a member of that organization, and was probably a member of the inner circle.

member, because he has also been implanted with implants, but the implants in him are very different from those sealed implants. His implants are closer to those of Barbarissa.

The implant seems to be perfectly integrated with him at this stage and has no side effects.

There is no doubt that judging from the various information currently obtained, this transcendent organization should also be involved in creating the turmoil in Red Earth City. Its purpose should be the same as that of the Justice Church to observe the situation of the implant, but they hide it.

Behind the scenes, the Archbishop who guided the Church of Justice jumped out and completed the experiment for them, and even the final experimental product was taken possession of by them. It has to be said that the loss of the Church of Justice this time is probably not small. No wonder that the Archbishop

The Archbishop wanted to cover up this loss by completely destroying Red Earth City.

However, this also made Leo have more and more doubts. Barbarissa, the Transcendent Organization, and the Church of Justice seemed to be planning something in this red earth city. These were just a few people and forces that had been exposed.

There are other dark masters who are still hiding, and those dark masters can be on an equal footing with Barbarisa and the others. Obviously, their power should not be weak. So many powerful forces are eyeing the Red Earth City, which makes him wonder whether there is any power in the Red Earth City.
