"You don't really suspect that this was done by the medical school, do you?" Seeing Leo's changed expression, Ljungberg immediately shook his head and said in denial: "This is impossible!"

"How is it impossible?" Leo retorted: "The medical school meets these conditions very well. You must know that the reason why the medical school was able to obtain such a transcendent status and huge influence today was because of the great plague. They were in

Use the city of Miria to re-create the disaster of the past, and then jump out as saviors when things get out of hand. No one will think that the plague is related to them, and they can also gain huge reputation from treating patients."

"What's the reason? Just for a little prestige and influence, this is not a sufficient reason." Ljungberg immediately retorted: "With the current reputation and status of the medical school, why should they risk becoming the enemy of the world?

Is it dangerous to do such a thing?"

"No, my reason is very good, because the current status of the medical school is in jeopardy." Leo seemed to be awakened. He quickly connected various clues in his mind and said: "The influence of the medical school and

The peak of power was due to the emergence of the Continental Congress. Therefore, the relationship between the Medical College and the Continental Congress is very close. It can be said that they share weal and woe. Now the French Empire directly used force to completely smash the Velen Continental Congress, and then swept it away like garbage.

They were swept aside, allowing the Velen Continental Congress to exist in name only. Countries in other continents will definitely take action against the Continental Congress of their own continent after seeing the precedent of the French Empire. I can infer that within a few years, the Continental Congress will completely

Velen disappears."

Ljungberg looked a little ugly as he listened to Leo's analysis. Apparently he still had a good impression of the Continental Congress and wanted to refute Leo's analysis, but he couldn't find any reason to refute, because before that he had

In my heart, I already thought that the Mainland Congress might not be able to survive anymore.

"If the Continental Congress is late, what will happen to the medical school that has such a close relationship with the Continental Congress?" Leo asked a question, and then answered it himself: "When I came here, I was in Sylvia

I saw a newspaper there, which mentioned that the French Empire has begun to take over all medical places in the empire and established the Imperial Medical Department belonging to the empire to specifically govern and manage all medical institutions and medical practitioners in the empire."

, he paused, looked at Ljungberg, and said: "Just like the Continental Congress, with the French Empire as the vanguard, other countries will definitely follow. By then, hospitals and doctors in various countries will break away from the medical school.

The power and status of the medical school will be devastated. What do you think those who have enjoyed positions of power will do when they find out that they will be lost?"

Ljungberg couldn't answer such a question. As the chief detective of Miria City, he had experienced countless cases. In those cases, countless people became crazy due to the loss of power, status and money. Although he does not believe in medicine

Everyone in the academy will attach great importance to power and status, but it doesn't require a lot of people. It only needs a few such power-hungry people at the top to exist, then Leo's speculation is very likely to happen.

"If there is any news, I will go find you." Ljungberg was not in the mood to continue talking to Leo. He simply said something to Leo, then turned and walked out of the room. The sound of hurried footsteps shook his anxious mood.

show out.

After Ljungberg left, Leo had no intention of staying here anymore. He casually found a rag in the room, wiped the blood on his hands, and prepared to leave. But when he was about to leave, he stopped again.

When he came down, he seemed to have thought of something. He pondered for a moment, then turned back to the two corpses with fear marks. He dug out the fear marks on the skulls and put them in his pocket. Then he went downstairs and left the scene of the murder.

.

Leo, who left the scene of the murder, did not rush to look for clues elsewhere, but walked straight towards the camp where the blood wizard was. He needed to go to the blood wizard to confirm one thing, which might be what he had just guessed.

one of the evidences.

Compared to night, Miria City is not very safe during the day. Some places, such as the junction of areas controlled by two gangs, are even more chaotic during the day. Leo has seen it no less than five times along the way.

Gangs fight for territory and supplies, with no less than 200 people participating in each fight.

Seeing these fighting scenes, Leo couldn't help but think that these people put their current efforts to fight against each other to resist the French Empire army. Maybe the French Empire could not occupy Miria City so easily. Maybe

Currently, the French Empire is still trapped in the quagmire of war in Miria City.

This battle of Miria City is a joke to people like Leo who have experienced countless large and small wars. From the moment when the French Empire army unexpectedly crossed the Black Forest and landed in the West France region, Miria City

Everyone from top to bottom has lost the will to fight. The people at the top chose to escape, or the so-called retreat, while the people at the bottom chose to surrender and were willing to be lambs slaughtered at will. Leo couldn't help but guess that even if the French Empire didn't use airship bombing

The only way to do this is to send a large army to gradually press in. I am afraid that Miria City will collapse without any attack.

Miria City has been peaceful for too long. The people living here may not have experienced war for several generations. Moreover, from the initial construction to the subsequent expansion of the entire city, the possibility of being attacked was not considered, so no anything was built.

Fortifications were built without considering the layout of the city from the perspective of military topography.

It is obvious that Rupert and other senior leaders of the United Kingdom also see that Miria City is a sieve full of loopholes. With their current military strength, they cannot carry out any defense at all and can only be passively beaten. Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it is better to retain their effective forces.

Come down and set up defenses in a more favorable area.

Just like the top officials of the United Kingdom, the French Empire apparently also realized that Milia City was not a good place to station troops, so it simply abandoned most of its areas and only took control of the urban areas along the railway line that served as transportation lines.

In the end, only a group of poor people who had no country and were abandoned by all countries were left in this city. It is no wonder that the Freedom Front established by Ljungberg became powerful so quickly. I am afraid that this is also the same as the locals of Milia City.

It may be related to the emotions of despair, anger and humiliation!

Leo did not encounter any trouble while walking on the road. After all, anyone who is not too stupid can see that Leo is not an easy person to deal with. Instead of offending a powerful lone traveler who has no worries, it is better to target

Ordinary refugees who are easier to deal with.

After Leo arrived at the blood wizard's camp, the person guarding the entrance to the camp recognized Leo and let him in without blocking him. However, he was stopped in front of the tent by two giant men who were not as strong as ordinary people.

A giant khan bent down and entered the tent, informing Leo's matter to the blood wizard who was dealing with things inside.

"Is there a clue so soon?" After hearing the report from his subordinates, Lawrence Hillman put down what he was doing, walked out of his tent, and asked Leo who was waiting outside.

Leo did not beat around the bush, but asked directly: "I want to ask, how did you know that the blood research information you wanted was in the hands of that medical school scholar, and how did you know that the scholar did not have the information?

Did you take it away and leave it in the underground secret room?"

Lawrence was stunned when he heard this. For a moment he didn't quite understand why Leo asked such a mindless question, but he still answered truthfully: "I have been very concerned about this blood research a long time ago, so I have been

I asked the insiders of the medical school to always pay attention to this research material. It was not until recently that there was news about this material and I knew who was in the hands of this material. After that, I sent people to investigate..."

"The people you sent out to investigate are also from the medical school, right?" Leo interrupted the blood wizard and asked.

"Yes." Lawrence Hillman seemed to hear something from Leo's words. He nodded and continued thinking while thinking: "That person is also one of the senior officials of the medical school and can find out some useful information.

Intelligence, this information was also found out by him. You must have found out what happened next. I sent people to get the information, but I didn’t expect it to be involved in the Ring of Plague matter."

"Do you have that information in your hands now?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

"It has been found." Lawrence Hillman said with a somewhat disappointed expression: "However, the blood research information is still somewhat different from the information I expected, and it is not very useful to me." As he said this, he was a little impatient.

asked: "You should tell me now why you are asking me these questions, right?"

Leo did not conceal what he had guessed before and told the blood wizard. After hearing this, the blood wizard did not deny it like Ljungberg did, but fell into deep thought, but the look on his face became more and more gloomy.

.

Unlike Ljungberg, Lawrence Hillman spent a significant amount of time in the medical school and other affiliated institutions of the medical school in his early years.

Although his research projects and academic level at that time were not enough to gain attention in the medical school, let alone become a high-level executive in the medical school, judging from his experience in the medical school, Leo's speculation was not random and untargeted.

.Because if a great plague can really help the medical school regain its power and status, the characters of the people in the medical school will definitely be able to do such a thing. After all, living people are just some expendable research for them.

It's just materials, and countless living research objects are secretly sent to their operating tables every year. The so-called casualties are just numbers in their eyes.

In addition, he knows better than Leo that not only the French Empire has begun to take over all the medical institutions and personnel of the Medical College in the French Empire, but even the United Kingdom, which has a good relationship with the Medical College, has also begun to do this secretly

, I'm afraid it will be similar in other countries. Once the matter is completed, the influence of the medical school will probably fall to the bottom, and the only place it can fully control is the small area where the medical school headquarters is located.

"Your guess is very reasonable. I also think those guys in the medical school are going crazy." The blood wizard who wanted to understand the problem not only did not show anxiety and anger, but instead swept away the gloom on his face and showed an excited smile.

, said with some schadenfreude: "But what does it matter whether it is a medical school or not? Someone has to come out and confess. My shoulders are too small to bear this sin. The behemoth of a medical school is just right."

Hearing Lawrence's words, Leo could easily guess what the other party was thinking. According to the blood wizard, even if Leo's guess was wrong, he would find a way to make this guess come true and involve the medical school in this whirlpool.

At the same time, I also picked myself out.

If it were before, Leo would not have any additional views on this kind of thing. For him, finding the Ring of Plague is the goal, and the process and consequences are not what he considers. But now with the disappearance of the deputy brain,

There have also been some changes in his brain, his emotions, and even his soul. These changes have allowed him to have ordinary feelings, such as the feelings between men and women for Sylvia. In addition, he also has likes and dislikes for certain things, such as now

He felt a little dissatisfied with Lawrence's actions, and could even be said to be disgusted.

However, although this kind of likes and dislikes affected his emotions, it was not enough to affect Leo's behavior, so he did not correct him, but asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"

"Of course we will continue the investigation." Lawrence Hillman said excitedly, and then asked Leo: "I know that several forces related to the medical school are secretly lurking in Miria City, just because of the departments they belong to.

There is some trouble, and I am not suitable to come forward to investigate..."

"Give me the address." Leo took the initiative to take over the job without waiting for the blood wizard to finish, but then he said: "You can help me find something I need in the past two days."

"What?" Lawrence asked curiously.

"The eyes of an adult eagle, the ashes of three flames, the ancient oak leaves with silver threads..." Leo reported the list of materials in his mind that were used to perform a certain witchcraft.

Lawrence Hillman didn't take it seriously at first, but soon his expression became serious, and he memorized the materials carefully.

Although Lawrence's blood witchcraft is different from most other witchcraft methods nowadays, it does not mean that he does not understand other witchcraft. He can hear that the materials Leo mentioned are very common.

The witchcraft materials are just additional conditions for these materials, which is a bit troublesome.

For example, although ancient oak leaves are common, silver threads on the leaves are very rare. You can't find them just by looking for them, but because their functions are not much better than ordinary ancient oak leaves, the price is not very high, so they are rarely seen.

Some pharmacy merchants will specially introduce these materials. In addition, there are more than a dozen materials in Leo's list that are as difficult to find as the silver threads like leaves. It is a bit difficult to collect them all, and you need to use some special relationships to do so.

According to the blood wizard's character, he would never agree to such a troublesome matter, but just now Leo agreed to his proposal so happily, but he refused the other party's request, which was really inappropriate. So in the end, until Leo left, then
Chapter completed!
