Chapter 651: Ministry of Supervision
After some lingering, Leo was finally able to calmly begin to look for the information he needed in this hall.
There was a "clang" sound, and a bookcase suddenly shook.
"What's going on?" Bella poked her head out curiously from the bookshelves not far away.
"Uh, it's okay, it's okay." Leo leaned on the edge of the bookshelf and coughed twice in embarrassment: "I just tripped when I didn't pay attention when I walked." ”
"Oh, be careful, then." Bella withdrew her gaze and continued to read the story between her ancestors and the Inquisition.
After making sure that Bella no longer paid attention to his side, Leo quietly wiped a cold sweat: "Damn, it's really unacceptable to indulge." ”
This guy didn't actually stumble, it was simply because of the overindulgence of his feet and almost fell down, don't forget that Leo came seven times last night and this morning, and this time it was already the eighth time!
That is, his first menstrual experience, coupled with his young body and vigorous energy, and the bonuses brought by cultivators, it is really difficult for ordinary people to make such a mess without taking medicine.
Leo rubbed his temples and tried his best to suppress the feeling of weakness that surged up in his body: "This is not good, if you continue like this, you will have to die in bed before you become the Pope." It seems that in the future, we must plan reasonably and do things reasonably! Well, three times a day, that's it! ”
After throwing himself a blessing of strength, Leo finally got down to business.
There are a lot of bookshelves in the hall, and there are notes and materials in them that record a lot of secrets of the continent, and even many of them can make some countries or big families immediately change drastically when they are released now, for example, the story of "the cat demon for the prince" that Bella just told Leo is also one of them.
But Leo was not in the mood to watch these strange stories at the moment, he preferred to find information and intelligence about the Ministry of Supervision, Cheedo had already told him when they parted, and there was relevant information here.
Although there are many bookshelves in the hall, it is not difficult to find them, because there is an explanation sign on each shelf, which clearly states what kind of information information in this bookshelf belongs to, as if the bookshelf where Bella was just now hung with the sign "Kingdom of France".
Leo walked along these bookshelves and found that the information here was really all-encompassing, not only the name of every empire, kingdom or principality on the continent appeared on the shelves, but even the names of many countries that had died out appeared on them, even the Gytyka Empire, which ruled the land with the dark sect three hundred years ago and collapsed with the rise of the Spani Empire.
But after looking at all the signboards on the shelves, Leo didn't find the information he was looking for, so he went up the stairs to the second floor.
The layout and area of the second floor are almost identical to those of the lobby on the first floor, except that most of the bookshelves here are empty, with only three or four notebooks and intelligence materials, which is in stark contrast to the full bookshelves on the first floor.
Leo walked down the shelves and found that the information contained on the second floor was different from that on the first floor, and that the main information here was about the families, institutions, and individuals who occupied important positions in their respective countries.
Leo even saw the information of the Blood Wolf Family in a certain bookshelf, and it is worth mentioning that the information of the Blood Wolf Family is still in the same bookshelf as the Golden Lion Family and the Ice Bear Family.
Going down, Leo also saw more families and names that shook the continent, such as the Charles family of the Spany Empire, the York family of the Kingdom of France, the William family of the Jimny Empire, etc., these are all royal families that rule a country, and then the names of the current monarchs of various countries, and the intelligence collection of the Inquisition is obviously quite good, Even the names of Louis I, the new usurper of France, and Teresa I, the new Empress of the Sbonney Empire, who had only been in power for only a few days, appeared on the shelves.
Walking to the last few bookshelves, Leo finally came to the place he wanted to come to, on which were the names of various very influential organizations or institutions on the mainland, such as the Pardon Cross of the Kingdom of Itari, the Golden Finch Elite of the Kingdom of Anglo, etc., Leo stopped in front of a certain bookshelf, and a few words appeared on the explanation board on this bookshelf, "Holy See Supervision Department of the Church of Light".
To Leo's surprise, there was so much information about the Ministry of Supervision—very little, only a thin notebook in the middle of the shelf, which looked empty.
"Well, it's better than nothing." Leo picked up the note and read it carefully.
Although the Ministry of Supervision is a sister institution of the courts, the names of the two on the mainland can be said to be completely different.
This is also mainly related to the difference in the division of labor between them, except for the Inquisition, the main responsibility is for all intelligence gathering, elimination of heresy and assassination plots and other tasks except for the Church of Light, while the Ministry of Supervision is responsible for the internal supervision of the Church of Light, such as corruption**, lack of faith, etc.
The above information is all information that Leo has been exposed to before, and the next information is what really surprises Leo.
The real purpose of the establishment of the Ministry of Supervision is not actually the above-mentioned ones, but to limit and regulate the courts.
"Hell, it turns out that this Ministry of Supervision actually came here like this, no wonder there is information about the Ministry of Supervision in the purely external institution of the Inquisition, after all, to a certain extent, this Ministry of Supervision is also the enemy of the Inquisition."
However, in fact, Leo can also understand the original intention of setting up the Ministry of Supervision at that time, after all, since the first generation of the lord of the Inquisition, the Inquisition has maintained a relatively detached status because of the dark power in the body of the previous principals (that is, he does not listen to the Pope's greetings), and it is indeed necessary to guard against it.
Leo sighed for a moment, then continued to read.
Although the information that Leo reads does not give the specific combat effectiveness of the Inspectors (because the Inquisition and the Inspectorate belong to the same church, it is impossible for them to fight each other), but according to the intelligence sources of the Inquisition, the Inspectorate is evaluated in this notebook - the overall combat power is at least half that of the Inquisition, and may even be higher.
"Strange," Leo couldn't help muttering after seeing this, "If this Ministry of Supervision has such a powerful force, how could it be completely wiped out that night?"
