Chapter 99 Cause and Effect
Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the hunting house in the forest. After Leo entered, he found some dry wood to light the fire in the fireplace, filled some water in a tin pot, and prepared to boil some hot water. Just as he was about to
When he put some refreshing plant leaves, Sylvia stopped him.
Sylvia took out a packet of medicinal powder from her pocket and poured it into the water, then put the pot on the fire. Soon the water boiled, and the steam coming out gave off a fragrance.
After smelling it, people's spirits can't help but be shaken, and the fatigue on their bodies seems to have eased a lot.
"This stuff is good, where can I buy it?" Leo could feel that these medicinal powders could not only relieve mental fatigue, but also have a slight recovery effect on spiritual energy, so he asked.
"This thing is only owned by the Orthodox Church, and is exclusively used by the judges of the gods. Even if you have money, there is no place to buy it." The lady in black spoke, taking off the veil from her hat, revealing a beautiful and beautiful face.
A pale face. But now this face is full of exhaustion, as if she will fall to the ground and fall asleep at any time. It seems that it is not an easy task for her to turn into darkness and trap so many monsters just now.
Leo didn't pay too much attention to the beauty of the lady in black, he was more concerned about another thing.
After listening to the noble lady's words, he couldn't help but look at Sylvia sitting opposite in surprise, and said: "The Judge of Ability God! She?"
Hearing the surprised tone in Leo's words, Sylvia raised her eyebrows habitually, looked at Leo displeased, and asked: "What? Is it weird that I am the judge of the gods of the Orthodox Church?
"
"It's indeed a bit strange." Leo said what he was thinking without any scruples. Hearing Sylvia's eyelids jump, she wanted to punch him.
Leo, who already has a certain understanding of the dark world, knows very well what kind of existence the judges of the gods of the Orthodox Church are. At any time, these people can be regarded as the strongest group of people in the dark world, so these people's
The number of people is very small. Even when the Orthodox Church was at its most powerful, there were no more than twenty. It is still unknown whether the Orthodox Church still has judges of alien gods.
Many people believe that the Judge of Gods who was trapped at No. 9 Golden Oak Street may have been the last Judge of Gods of the Orthodox Church.
Because since then, every time the Orthodox Church deals with matters related to the Church of the Ability God, it has chosen to cooperate with governments and other organizations in the dark world. Most of the people sent are church knights, and the Judge of the Ability God has never been seen again.
figure.
Now a woman suddenly said that she was a judge of different gods. I am afraid that everyone who heard it would feel a little unbelievable like Leo. After all, in the history of the Orthodox Church, there was no precedent for a female judge of different gods.
However, judging from the fact that the two church knights from the Orthodox Church did not refute Sylvia's identity, Sylvia's identity as the judge of the alien gods seems to be true.
However, the lady in black on the side broke the argument and said: "Don't compare the current Judge of Power God with the Judge of Power God in the past. She can only be regarded as a high-level thug who has received the title of Judge of Power God.
"
"Claudia, you have to be careful when you speak!" Sylvia frowned and warned tactfully.
"Am I wrong?" Claudia, the lady in black, said with a sneer: "I don't know what the old men in the Orthodox Church think, that they would listen to the suggestion of that guy named Martin Luther.
This bullshit Holy See reform plan has changed the past rules of the Holy See beyond recognition, and even the position of Judge of Ability God can be filled by outsiders."
"But you can't deny that the Orthodox Church is regaining its vitality after the implementation of the Holy See Reform Plan. Otherwise," Sylvia raised her finger and pointed at the church knights behind her who had taken off their armor and were bandaging their wounds, pointing at the old and scarred body.
, said: "Do you think these aging church knights can still suppress those peepers in the dark?"
The lady in black did not refute, but just emphasized: "I just hope you don't forget that you were also a night watchman before you became the judge of the gods of the Orthodox Church."
"I never forget." Sylvia said calmly.
For Sylvia and the others, a small dispute could relieve the tension from the battle just now, but Leo, who was listening on the sidelines, heard a lot of information. When he heard the name Martin Luther, he immediately
Thinking of Martin Luther in Cage City, he felt that the two should be the same person.
Although Leo was somewhat curious about Martin Luther's plan to reform the Holy See, he did not take the initiative to ask for relevant information.
After the water boiled, Leo poured a cup of hot water for everyone and asked continuously: "Why are you here? What happened to the Speaker? Wasn't he dead before?"
Sylvia took a sip of hot water and said, "First tell me why you came here?"
"I came here to investigate No. 9 Golden Oak Street." Leo did not hide it, but after slightly modifying the matter, he said: "On the way here, a guy stuffed something into my backpack.
, then two guys threatened me and sent things to the place I was about to go, so I came here out of curiosity."
"Is this related to No. 9 Golden Oak Street?" Leo's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Sylvia and the lady in black couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise. Even the two old knights who were concentrating on bandaging the wounds were also surprised.
They all looked over.
Although the secret of the wasteland has now been revealed, Leo still doesn't understand the connection between the survivor's escape from No. 9 Golden Oak Street and the wasteland, so he simply made the matter public to see if others
There may be clues to answer this question.
So, Leo told the story about the existence of a survivor in the investigation data at No. 9 Golden Oak Street. Everyone around him was surprised after hearing this, wondering if Leo had made a mistake.
But soon Claudia, the noble lady in black, seemed to have thought of something and said: "I remember when the night watchman of Miria City hunted down that family member. The night watchman in charge of the pursuit at that time was very sure that the family member had escaped into
They arrived at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, but after the four night watchmen fell into No. 9 Golden Oak Street, the family member died in an accident in Miriam City the next day. Therefore, the night watchmen also felt that the person responsible for the pursuit was
The night watchman was mistaken. Now it seems that the night watchman was not mistaken. The family member really entered No. 9 Golden Oak Street and successfully survived."
"It seems that the secret of that person's escape from No. 9 Golden Oak Street must be in him." Sylvia also followed the train of thought and made an analysis, then asked Claudia: "That family member died
Where are the relics left behind?"
"At that time, all the night watchmen in Miria City were wiped out, and there was no one in charge. As usual, things were handed over to the local police station for safekeeping." Claudia recalled carefully: "It's just that the police station in Miria City at that time was
The Joint Police Station was later reformed and divided into the Continental Congress Security Department and the current Milia City Police Headquarters. At that time, all the items in the police warehouse were handed over to the Security Department..." At this point, she suddenly stopped,
He seemed to have thought of something and said, "Do I know what's going on?"
"If you know it, tell me quickly!" Sylvia urged.
"This morning, someone took advantage of the fact that a large number of security personnel from the Security Department of the Continental Parliament were transferred to Milia City to hunt down the Weishan people. They sneaked into the warehouse of the Security Department and stole some things. Ljungberg sent people to investigate this matter.
, and later I heard that the man was at the American Intercity Railway Station, taking advantage of the train's arrival and escaping by using the steam emitted by the train."
Claudia said this, looked at Leo, and obviously connected the two things together, and then continued: "It just so happened that Mr. Dodd was stuffed with an item at the same train station and asked to be
It was sent here and handed over to the Church of the True Eye for the sacrifice ceremony. If we talk about this thing stolen from the Security Department, the evil artifact used by the True Eye for sacrifice and the survivor can be stolen from Golden Oak Street 9
Are the secrets that No. 1 escaped from all the same thing?"
As Claudia's words fell, Leo's thoughts gradually became clearer, and the analysis of the accessory brain system quickly appeared before his eyes.
Therefore, Leo also slowly expressed his analysis, saying: "One of the first guests to fall into No. 9 Golden Oak Street may be a senior priest of the Church of the True Eye, and he is carrying the sacred object.
When he was trapped in No. 9 Golden Oak Street, the sacred object in his hand was obtained by the survivor who was still a waiter, and he escaped from No. 9 Golden Oak Street relying on this sacred object. He also did the same for the next two times.
He escaped using the same method, but using the holy object will definitely consume the power of the holy object, so he needs to replenish the power of the holy object. Miss Claudia, why was that Familia discovered in the first place?"
Claudia quickly recalled the information and said: "Because he kidnapped some freedmen living in the suburbs. Afterwards, the bodies of those freedmen were all found on the mountain, not far from here."
"So he kidnapped those people all in order to sacrifice in this wasteland and replenish the power of the holy objects." Leo continued to analyze further: "It's just that his last sacrifice must have been hunted down by the Night Watch, so it was too late.
Cleaning up the traces of the sacrifice, and these traces were discovered by the people of the True Eye Church. The True Eye Church thought that someone had mastered their sacred objects, so they sent people to trace them. When did the Speaker arrive in Miria City?
of?"
"Not long after the death of that family member." Sylvia knew very well about the Speaker of the Continental Congress and immediately took over Leo's words and said: "He entered the Continental Congress as a parliamentary legal assistant."
"The family member who took possession of the holy object is dead, and the holy object has been stored in the police station warehouse, so the speaker could not find anything. He could only wait here for the holy object to appear again, but in the end he sat down by mistake.
Went to the seat of the Speaker of the Continental Congress." Leo smiled, took a sip of water, and continued under the urging gazes of everyone: "Although the Speaker of the Continental Congress's investigation of holy objects is very secretive, he certainly can't hide it from Mili.
A local snake in Asia City, so Rupert Fitz probably knew the identity of the Speaker, and even investigated where the item the Speaker was looking for was until he sold the whereabouts of this item for a good price at the banquet last night.
"
Upon hearing this, Sylvia's face immediately darkened.
"The Ministry of Security is an organization independent of the Continental Congress. Even the Speaker of the Continental Congress is not qualified to enter the warehouse of the Ministry of Security, so if you want to take things out, you can only rely on stealing." Claudia ignored Sylvie
Ya's expression, followed by Leo's analysis, said: "So he thought of a way to pretend that he was killed by the Weishan people, and used his own murder to transfer most of the people in the security department away.
, leaving only an empty security department for his people to enter and steal things." As she said that, she asked Leo: "What is that sacred object?"
Because the thing had been destroyed, there was no loss in speaking out, so Leo said truthfully: "A piece of skin. It's probably the skin from the Eye of Truth."
"Is it the piece of rotten skin on the speaker's chest?" Sylvia asked.
Leo nodded.
"How did you destroy it?" Sylvia asked again.
Leo didn't answer but just smiled.
When Sylvia still wanted to ask more questions, Claudia intervened in the conversation at the right time and said: "If that piece of skin comes from the Eye of Truth, then it makes sense. It is said that the evil god can see through the world.
If that piece of skin contains the power of the Eye of Truth, then the person who masters that piece of skin will probably be able to find the real exit from No. 9 Golden Oak Street." As she spoke, she showed a look of regret again.
, said: "It's a pity that it has been destroyed now, otherwise..."
Sylvia obviously didn't like that Claudia felt sorry for the destruction of an evil sacred object. Her face showed a little displeasure, but she didn't blame anything.
Leo then turned to Sylvia and asked, "I've finished my business, what about you?"
As if retaliating, Sylvia explained in very simple words: "These church knights are responsible for monitoring the signs of the activities of the evil god cult. They discovered that there was a big movement in the Church of the True Eye, and gathered in Milli
It was on the outskirts of Yacheng, so I was worried about what would happen and informed me."
Leo didn't expect that after he said so much, the other party dismissed him with just one sentence. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he sneered at Sylvia and said: "You are quite generous! My allies and subordinates are
Being purged in a planned manner, you are still in the mood to take care of these things."
"You..." It seemed that a sore spot had been stabbed. Sylvia looked angrily and glared at Leo fiercely, as if the person who betrayed her was Leo, and she had strong thoughts of taking out her anger on him.
"Sylvia, you don't need to worry. I don't think the situation is that bad." When the atmosphere became tense, Claudia intervened just right: "In my opinion, the Speaker probably doesn't know that the Weishan people
It is an important chess piece of Rupert Fitz. He just borrowed the name of the Weishan people and probably did not tell Rupert Fitz beforehand. Now the entire city of Milia has entered martial law because of the death of the Speaker.
The Weishan people are wanted by the entire clan, so even if Rupert Fitz gets the list of your allies and subordinates from the Speaker, he probably won't be able to do anything."
Just as Claudia had guessed, in the Silver Moon Castle, Rupert Fitz was listening to his men reporting the news that the Weishan people had been sent away with a gloomy look on his face. He completely lost his confidence in winning last night.
