Chapter 898: Emergencies
If someone else had said this, Sylvia would have wondered if the other person had been delusional, but if the person who spoke was Leo, then it was most likely true.
"Is that thing bad for us?" asked Sylvia.
"I don't know for now," Leo said, shaking his head, "but it's best to investigate." ”
Sylvia was a little puzzled, "How do you investigate?"
Leo was silent for a moment and said, "Start with the construction of Winter Rin City. I remember that the wizard of the tower in the construction of Winter Rin City was involved in it, and with the relationship between the Knight King and the Black Forest, I am afraid that the Black Forest was also involved, and after getting familiar with the environment of Winter Rin City and the Royal Academy in the past two days, I will go to the library of the Royal Academy to find information. ”
Sylvia also agreed to Leo's proposal, and then the two ignored Tokyo outside and went about their own business.
However, Leo's mental web was still open, sensing movement outside and recording subtle changes in that feeling.
Soon the night passed, and Leo and Sylvia freshened up briefly, packed their clothes, and walked to the main entrance of the academy, where the student guide had been waiting yesterday, and several men hired a carriage and began to continue yesterday's tour.
In the following days, under the guidance of this student guide, Leo and Sylvia not only visited the entire Royal Academy, but also visited Winter Rin City by the way, during the tour, Leo's spiritual network was always open, scanning and collecting environmental data such as surrounding geography, terrain and buildings, and after returning home at night, these data were organized into a complete image and formed a complete three-dimensional map of Winter Rin City.
However, this process was not all smooth sailing, because there were a lot of things that interfered with the spiritual network in Winter Rin City, so the scan data collected by Leo was incomplete, and he could only rely on some data observed by his eyes as a supplement.
The things that interfere with the spiritual network are not only the kind of interference devices, but also various strange objects with different effects, compared to the spiritual network, it can also interfere with the device to scan some information, under the effect of some strange objects, the information scanned by the spiritual network is very small, or it is a blank, and it may even be deceived by illusions.
For example, when he scanned the Klan family's official residence in Winter Rin City through the spirit network, in his spirit network perception, the place where the official residence was located turned out to be an ocean.
After all, Winter Rin City is the capital of the Fran Empire, and many of the noble families who live here have a heritage of more than a thousand years, and it is close to a place like the Black Forest full of mysterious power, so each noble family will more or less collect some strange things.
Although the Crane family is not an ancient aristocratic family with a long heritage, it is not uncommon for his family to have money, and it is not uncommon to buy some powerful and strange things.
In addition, the hill where the palace is located, his spiritual network is completely blocked out by a force, and even this force can attack his consciousness along the practice of the spiritual network, fortunately, he found it in time, paid the price of losing some spiritual power, and forcibly cut off the connection with the spiritual network, so that he did not receive the backlash of the palace's protective power.
Although the confrontation between his spiritual network and the power of the palace was only a matter of moments, it was enough for Leo to perceive some information about the mysterious power in the palace.
First of all, Leo perceives that it is powerful, how strong Leo is not clear, but he is sure that even if it is a white deer, the feeling given to him cannot be compared with the power in the palace, obviously the mysterious power in the palace is close to or even reaches the level of an omega-level advanced life form.
Secondly, he knew that the mysterious power of the palace was unconscious, and was more like a realm formed by the accumulation of some kind of Turing circle or some other powerful force.
After discovering the true situation of the palace, Leo carefully analyzed and felt that the situation of the palace was both harmful and beneficial to him.
The downside is that the power contained in the palace far exceeds Leo's expectations, and the countermeasures that he envisioned before in Winter Rin City may not be used, and it is even more impossible to break through.
But that doesn't mean there's no hope for Leo, and on the whole, he still has a way to sneak into the palace treasury and take the ring.
The reason why Leo judged this way was because he found out in that encounter that the power in the palace was not controlled, but operated on its own according to a certain established procedure.
Because if his spiritual network touches the power in the palace, and this power is controlled by someone, then the person who controls the power will inevitably feel it, and take the initiative to release his power to check the situation around the palace and investigate who is watching the royal family.
But this kind of thing didn't happen, which means that this force is not controlled by people, as long as it is not controlled by people, Leo can find the law of the power operating on its own, find the law, he can find a way to follow the law, as long as they find a way to follow the law, they will not stimulate this force when they enter the palace, and may even be considered by this force to be a person who is qualified to walk in the palace, in this way, they will naturally be much easier to enter the royal treasury to get things.
For others, breaking the forbidden arrangement of the palace may be the most difficult, but for Leo it is the easiest, the only thing required is time and materials.
After getting a general understanding of the situation in Winterin City and the Royal Academy, Leo and Sylvia began to study the occult at the academy like normal advanced students.
However, for the two of them, the so-called occult taught in the academy was as superficial as telling a master musician about the basic notes, and they spent most of their time in the library, using them to borrow as many books as they could.
In the first two days, the information on their daily operations, including the list of books they borrowed, was compiled into data and handed over to a special person for analysis.
However, soon this tight surveillance was relaxed, and even the agents of the Imperial Security Service seemed to be transferred, and it seemed as if something big had happened to them.
"I know what's going on!" Sylvia, who had just gone out to investigate the whereabouts of the Belmont family's missing belongings, rushed back with a few newspapers in her hand, and just closed the door, she raised the newspaper in her hand and said loudly.
Leo was stunned when he heard this, took the newspaper from Sylvia's hand, and looked at it.
He found that this newspaper was not the kind of public newspaper that was openly sold outside, but the internal newspaper of the Special Operations Division, and the most obvious report on it was that there was a large-scale mutation event among the wintering tribes in the city of Northland Ferrut, as for the scale is not clear, the only thing that can be determined is that the passage to connect with the Northland has been closed, and from the legions stationed near the imperial capital, three legions and a knight order have been sent to the Northland, accompanied by a large number of secret agents from various secret departments.
From all kinds of details related to it, it is not difficult to see that the mutation incident in Northland Ferrut City may not be as understated as described in the Di newspaper, from cutting off the communication channel, to sending three main corps and a knight order to the Northland, etc., I am afraid that there are a lot of mutations in Northland City, and it may even have endangered the survival of the Northland tribes, otherwise it would be impossible for the empire to send so many people to the Northland.
After reading all the reports about the Northlands in the Mansion, Leo wondered why the things that Mister and Randall had done that night suddenly came to his mind.
Although he felt that the incident must be related to Mister and Randall, any information that could be seen now could not prove it, and it was difficult to find the connection unless he personally went to Ferrute City to investigate.
Although there is no evidence, Leo still reminded Sylvia, "You'd better find the United Kingdom's spies in the imperial capital and ask them to send a message back to get more attention to Mister and Randall." ”
"Why?" Sylvia wondered why Leo had suddenly mentioned Mister and Randall after reading the newspapers.
Leo didn't hide it either, and told him how he had just felt and what Mister and Randall had done that night.
"Is it just feelings?" Sylvia frowned, it was clear that she didn't see the slightest connection between her two old colleagues and the Great Mutation in Ferrut City, it was all just feelings, which seemed a bit absurd to her.
Leo knew very well that Sylvia would think so, and he didn't try to persuade him, because even he was a little skeptical about the feeling of appearing this time.
And he also felt that it was obviously a little inappropriate to waste a secret line because of such a baseless news.
In a place like the imperial capital, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build each line, and countless people have died, and after such a line is used once, it will definitely be abandoned, so every message transmitted should be a news of life and death for the United Kingdom.
Because of a conjecture, and some people have doubts about this kind of news being transmitted by such a precious line, even if Sylvia is in a high position in the United Kingdom, I am afraid it is difficult to explain.
However, just as Leo wanted to say that he might have miscalculated and asked Sylvia not to care, Sylvia chose to believe Leo's feelings and said, "I'll try to send the news back." ”
Leo was stunned when he heard this, didn't say anything, just nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and said, "Our actions may have to be accelerated." ”
"Why?" asked Sylvia, confused.
Leo briefly analyzed: "Because if the mutation situation over there is urgent, people like us who are studying will definitely be activated immediately, and they will stop taking vacations and training." ”
When Sylvia heard this, she nodded in agreement and said, "My matter is already clear, and I will solve it in these two days." ”
He was also happy for Sylvia to see that things were progressing, but he didn't have a clue about it himself, because none of the materials he found in the library related to the construction of the palace made Leo think that he should find an opportunity to sneak into the palace and do a field trip.
However, before Leo and Sylvia could prepare for the sudden change, the officers of the Special Operations Division headquarters approached them.
"How are you two learning at the Academy?" said the officer, who was the head of the Secret Service, and although he was not of high rank, he had a lot of authority, and the only officially recognized team of mutants in Winter Rin City was in his hands.
When the Director arrives and identifies himself, both Leo and Sylvia wonder if the other party is trying to recruit the two of them into the Secret Service.
"It's ok. Although there was a lot of thought in their hearts, Leo and Sylvia did not show any unusual expressions on their faces, and they all replied simply.
"Is it okay?" the supervisor muttered, then took out two test papers from the briefcase beside him, handed them to Leo and Sylvia respectively, and said in a tone that could not be refused, "Now I have made these two test papers." ”
Seeing this, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, and without saying anything, they each took a roll, found a place, and started to make it.
The content of the paper does not involve anything too complex and profound, most of which is the knowledge that has been talked about in the academy in the past few days, and there is also some knowledge related to the code of conduct of the Special Operations Division, all in all, this knowledge is not very difficult for Leo and Sylvia.
The two of them quickly finished the whole paper and handed it to the supervisor, who didn't say anything and began to check the answers of the two, and after checking late, he looked up at the two of them and asked, "I heard that you all stayed in the book sense after class, and borrowed a lot of occult books, is the knowledge of the academy professors a little too simple for you." ”
Leo and Sylvia replied truthfully, "Yes." ”
"Well, I think so. The supervisor nodded, then stuffed the two answers into his bag, then took out two letters from his bag, handed them to the two of them, and said, "You will report to these two places tomorrow." ”
After saying that, he got up and walked out the door.
"Excuse me, what about our further studies at the Academy?" Leo asked as if he were a normal person, instead of opening the letter.
The supervisor didn't reply, and said, "The knowledge you learned there is much more profound than what you learned in the academy. ”
Leo didn't ask again, and after closing the door, he and Sylvia opened the letter in their hands.
Seeing that these two letters were transfer orders, they were transferred to the Seventh Royal Research Institute, and the location of the Seventh Royal Research Institute turned out to be in the royal garden, very close to the Feast Palace, where the treasure house was located.
"Looks like we don't have to leave. After seeing this transfer order, Sylvia couldn't help but smile and said.
Leo nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that this Seventh Royal Research Institute was set up specifically for the study of supernatural powers, and it seems that we are lucky." ”
"But why did they suddenly transfer us there?" Sylvia was a little puzzled, but soon seemed to think of something, and said, "Could this have something to do with the Great Mutation in Ferut City?"
"Perhaps. Leo replied uncertainly, and said, "Anyway, we'll know when we get there." ”
