"How's the situation with the shaman in the wasteland?" Vasqui asked with a hint of concern.

Leo replied simply, "I don't know, we haven't seen him since we separated, but judging from the leaves of the Mother Plant, he should be doing well." ”

Vaschi sighed and said, "This may be the best choice for him, after all, he has been blaming himself for so many years." ”

Leo didn't ask for details, but even if he didn't, he could guess that the old man Rembrandt had something to do with the fact that they had come back alive from the place where it all ended.

Vaschi collected his emotions and said, "I will inform Rembrandt that you have found the feather, and we will go to you when we are ready." ”

"I'm okay with that. Leo nodded, then turned the subject back to his own business, and said, "I came to Miria City this time mainly to accept the commission to find the Plague Ring, do you know its whereabouts?"

Vaschi hesitated a little, and said truthfully: "In the hands of the medical school." Then, as if she had thought of something, she showed a sudden expression of realization, pointed at Leo and said, "No wonder Ljungberg will ask the medical school to immediately terminate all plans and withdraw from Miria City, it turns out that it is because of you!"

Leo didn't deny it, nodded his head, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do in Miria City?"

Hearing Leo ask, Vaschi seemed to understand something, and smiled: "I know who entrusted you, it's Sylvia Belmont, right?"

"Why aren't you speculating on Rupert Fitz, or someone else in the United Kingdom?" Leo also seemed to hear some clues, and asked casually, and then replied to himself, "Unless you Rupert Fitz are in a partnership." ”

Vaschi didn't answer, but was silent for a while, and said, "Your investigation has already made our original plan go wrong, and if you continue to pursue it, I'm afraid it will damage our plan even more." ”

Leo laughed, "What? Do you mean to keep me here?"

"Of course not. Vaschi shook his head and said, "Let's not say that you still have a feather in your hands that is very important to me and Rembrandt, even if you don't, your strength is not something I can intercept, and there is no benefit to me at all in clashing with you, so it is most appropriate to use persuasion." ”

"Persuasion?" Leo frowned.

"You shouldn't care about the situation in Miria City, you're just commissioned by Sylvia, so you're just an outsider. Vaschi stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the pen, wrote something quickly on the paper, and then handed it to Leo, and said, "The commission you accept should be to find the Plague Ring, the address on this is the foothold of the medical school people in Port Leon, the Plague Ring is in their hands, you can go and get it yourself." ”

Leo took the note, looked at its contents, and pocketed it. Although he had achieved his goal, he had no intention of getting up and leaving, but looked at Vasqi and said, "You can't let me leave with a stomach full of doubts, right?" If I don't solve my doubts, even if I don't have a commission, my curiosity may drive me to continue investigating." ”

Vaschi thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Since you want to know, I will tell, but I hope only you know, and I don't want you to tell Sylvia Belmont about this." ”

"I promise you. Leo nodded in response.

Vasqi didn't let Leo swear or anything like that, and after hearing Leo's answer, he told Leo what they had done.

Leo listened silently, and although he knew very well that what Vaschi said must have hidden a lot of things, the mere part of what he could say already made him feel extraordinary.

In this world, who would have thought that the old nobles of the French Empire, the ruler of the United Kingdom, the world-famous university scholars, the great detective known as the son of Miria, plus a battered medical school, several forces and characters would unite and use Miria City to lay a shocking trap and lead those people and forces to the bureau one by one.

Rembrandt was dissatisfied with Louis X's increasingly secure throne, the old nobles of the French Empire were dissatisfied with the fact that the power in their hands was taken away little by little by the military nobles, Rupert was dissatisfied with the large number of voices in the United Kingdom that opposed his ideas, Ljungberg was dissatisfied with the fact that the city of Miria was in the hands of a group of people who did not love it, and the medical school was dissatisfied that he was forcibly put into the carriage of the Continental Congress, and his influence in the countries of the world was getting lower and lower.

All in all, all the dissatisfaction prompted these people who could not have cooperated to gather together and plan such a plan to affect the situation of the entire Velon, and even the Velon, world.

After Louis X ascended the throne, with the support of the military, he made every effort to suppress the old nobles in the country, and many noble families that had been inherited for hundreds of years were deprived of their fiefs and titles for some inexplicable reasons, and handed over to the new military nobles to divide up, which also put everyone in the empire at risk.

So, when Rembrandt secretly sent someone to contact them to deal with Louis X, it took almost no words for the lobbyists to be persuaded to become one of the collaborators.

Although Louis X's throne seemed very secure, there were not many forces that he could completely control, except for the direct legions he brought from the territory, most of the rest of the forces were divided into two categories, one was the military power of the French Empire, and the other was the mysterious Black Forest. Or to put it more directly, whether it is the military power or the aristocratic power, it is because of the concern of the Black Forest that they will fully support Louis X's ascension to the throne, so the Black Forest is the foundation of Louis X's throne.

Although Louis X was able to obtain the support of a mysterious presence in the Black Forest by his own bloodline, there should be a limit to this support, otherwise his war with the United Kingdom would not have been a stalemate on the eastern front in the Boto region, and he was unable to repel the British defenders with all kinds of tactics and weapons, and finally had to sign an armistice for financial reasons.

The armistice was also regarded by Louis X as a great disgrace, which also damaged his prestige in the military, and many people began to doubt his ability.

A large number of rumors about Louis X appeared in the people of the empire, although Louis X issued various bans, but the rumors never disappeared, he knew very well that behind the rumors was the dissatisfaction of the forces in the empire manipulation, and the attitude of the military also became ambiguous with his armistice.

So he needed an epic victory to recoup the loss of prestige, and at this time, a book with the story of the Knight King appeared before his eyes, and the surprise tactics of crossing the Black Forest gave him hope.

As a result, a grand strategy against the city of Miria was gradually formed and implemented in the military department of the French Empire, driven by Louis X, the emperor who was eager to make achievements, and some well-intentioned people who were eager to see Louis X's decline.

However, what did Louis X and others who were anxious to annex Miria know was that when their strategic plan was drawn up, the details of the plan had already been turned into documents in the hands of Rupert Fitz, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and all he had to do was to cooperate with the plan and gain the kingdom authority he wanted.

Rupert Fitz, a world-famous traitor, did not get the power he wanted after becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and when he set up the United Kingdom's parliament and government in the city of Miria, instead of Lanxi, which he completely controlled, he had already erected a large number of obstacles to his power, which made him regret his decision for several years.

So Rupert has always had the idea of moving the capital to Lanxi, but he has never told anyone about this idea, because he knows very well that even if he says it, it will not be passed in the parliament, so he needs a sharp blade from the outside world to help him force those opponents in the council to take the initiative to move the capital.

Now this strategic plan from the Empire is the best blade, and he can complete his cleanup and integration of the United Kingdom Parliament and Government without doing almost anything, so he is also a natural collaborator.

Ljungberg thought that the parliamentary system of the United Kingdom would be able to revitalize Miria City, but he was wrong, even without the exploitation of the empire, the so-called members of the parliament still bite the weakening Miria City from time to time like greedy hyenas, and the people at the bottom of Miria City have never cared about their city, and will only cooperate with those who have power to suck the blood of the city, but Ljungberg, who loves Miria City deeply, can only stand aside and watch all this happen, which makes him very dissatisfied.

When Vaschi found him and told him about Rembrandt's plan, Ljungberg agreed almost without any thought, believing that the city of Miria should be in the hands of his loyalist. Even if there would be a large number of casualties before it was finally completed, and maybe even ruin everything in Miria City now, it would be worth it in his opinion.

As for the joining of the medical school, it was just an accident, and this unexpected appearance just made up for a flaw in the old Rembrandt's plan.

After listening to Vaschi's narration, Leo asked in a deep voice, "You mean to spread the plague among the garrison of the French Empire in Miria City, not among the people of Miria City?"

"Yes. Vasqi nodded in acknowledgement.

Leo questioned, "The plague is contagious, how can you guarantee that the plague will not be transmitted to the rest of the people in Miria City?"

"The hundreds of thousands of soldiers sent to Miria are all the direct legions of Louis X and the most trusted Imperial legions, and these people have one characteristic, they are all descendants of the Beiruts, and they are also the purest group of Beiruts in the empire. "I don't know exactly how those guys at the medical school did it, but the plague viruses they created through the Plague Ring only worked on the people of Beirut, and they weren't deadly, they only made them ineffective and made it easier for the Ljungberg Free Front to capture and capture. ”

When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but think of the genetic virus, when the Earth Federation used similar aliens that specifically targeted specific genes in order to deal with the aborigines of a planet, and even if the plague virus that Vaschi said has not yet penetrated into the genetic level, it has been connected to blood and blood, from this point of view, the plague ring that created this virus can indeed be called an artifact.

"After the plague in the Imperial garrison in Miria City, won't the Imperial side change its people?" asked Leo in a deep voice.

Vaschi said with great confidence: "Of course not, these people infected with the plague will only be abandoned by the Empire, and in order to avoid the spread of the plague, the Empire will take the initiative to close the passage of the Black Forest, and then the authority that Louis X obtained from the Black Forest will probably be shaken." ”

Leo nodded slightly as if he agreed, and then asked, "I can understand your plan not to let Sylvia know, after all, she is a close confidant of the King of the United Kingdom, but what about the blood wizard Lawrence Hillman? Why doesn't he know? He is one of Rupert's most trusted people?"

Instead of answering directly, Vaschi said, "It takes a long time to build trust, but sometimes losing trust only takes one bad decision. ”

Leo didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked, "Now that the medical school has left, what ......are your plans?"

Vaschi said calmly: "The departure of the medical school will not affect our plans, after all, the virus has already been cultivated, in fact, your arrival is just a good excuse," she said, her face was slightly disdainful, and said: "Ljungberg and I have long wanted those people to leave, and even directly tested the citizens of Miria City, which is completely contrary to our plan, I have to say that they have been driven crazy by that god-making plan." ”

Leo asked curiously, "Do you know the details of the god-making plan?"

"I don't know. Vaschi shook his head, but then said: "But I heard Rembrandt mention that this god-making plan of the medical school was not thought up by themselves, but originated from the tower, and it is said that before the tower fell, a god-making project was also launched, and all the wizarding members of the tower were gathered, and the final result I don't say you should also know." ”

"How do you know about this? It stands to reason that if the tower were to carry out a god-making project, it would be very careful not to leave any clues or information. Leo questioned slightly.

Vaschi explained in a deep voice, "Don't forget, the only apprentice of the last wizard of the Tower, the Wilderness Wizard, was a good friend of Rembrandt, and Rembrandt also learned a lot about the Tower from him. ”

At Vasqui's reminder, Leo remembered the wizard's apprentice who was now stuck in the end of the tower, and also remembered that the old man Rembrandt must know many of the secrets of the tower.
