Chapter 222: No, No

"You don't really suspect that the medical school did this, do you?" Ljungberg saw Leo's changing expression, and immediately shook his head in denial: "This can't be!"

"How could it be?" retorted Leo, "The medical school fits these conditions very well, you must know that the reason why the medical school was able to achieve this transcendent status and huge influence back then was because of the great plague of the year, they were using Miria City to recreate the disaster of the year, and then jump out to be the savior when it was out of control, no one would think that the plague had anything to do with them, and they were able to gain great prestige from treating the sick." ”

"The reason? Just for a little prestige and influence, the reason is not sufficient. Ljungberg immediately retorted, "With the current prestige and status of the medical school, why would they risk becoming the enemy of the world to do such a thing?"

"No, my reasons are very good, because the medical school is in a precarious position right now. Leo seemed to be awakened, and quickly connected various clues in his mind, and said: "The peak of the influence and power of the medical school is due to the emergence of the continental parliament, so the relationship between the medical school and the continental parliament is very close, and it can be said that it shares honor and disgrace." Now the French Empire directly smashed the Vilen Continental Council by force, and then swept them aside like garbage, so that the Veron Continental Council existed in name only. Countries on other continents will definitely take action against the continental council of their own continent when they see the precedent of the French Empire, and I can infer that it will not take a few years for the continental parliament to completely disappear from Vilon. ”

Ljungberg listened to Leo's analysis, his face was a little ugly, obviously 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 it, because before that, he had already thought in his heart that the Continental Council might not be able to do it.

"If the Continental Council is late, what about the medical school that has such a close relationship with the Continental Council?" Leo asked a question, and then asked himself, "When I came here, I saw a newspaper from Sylvia, which mentioned that the French Empire had begun to take over all medical facilities in the empire, and established the Imperial Medical Department belonging to the empire, which was dedicated to governing and managing all medical institutions and medical practitioners in the empire. As he spoke, he paused, looked at Ljungberg, and said: "Just like the Continental Congress, with the French Empire as the vanguard, other countries will definitely follow suit, and then the hospitals and doctors of all countries will be disconnected from the medical school, and the power and status of the medical school will be devastated." Guess what people who have already enjoyed a position of power will do when they find that it is all lost?"

Ljungberg could not answer such a question, as the chief inspector of Miria City had been through countless cases in which countless people had become insane due to the loss of power, status, and money. Although he didn't believe that everyone in the medical school would attach so much importance to power and status, it didn't take many people, as long as there were a few people with such a strong desire at the top, then Leo's speculation was very likely to happen.

"I'll go to you if I have any news. Ljungberg was not in the mood to continue the conversation with Leo, and said a brief word to Leo, then turned and walked out of the room, his anxious mood reflected by the sound of hurried footsteps.

After Ljungberg left, Leo had no intention of staying here any longer, so he randomly found a rag in the room, wiped the blood on his hands, and prepared to leave. It was only when he was about to leave that he stopped again, seemed to think of something, pondered for a moment, turned back to the two corpses with the fear mark, dug up the fear mark from the skull, put it in his pocket, and then left the murder scene downstairs.

Leaving the scene of the murder, Leo did not rush to look elsewhere for clues, but walked straight towards the camp where the blood wizard was, he needed to go to the blood wizard to confirm something, this matter might be one of the evidence of what he had just guessed.

Compared to the night, Miria City is not very safe during the day, and even some places, such as the junction of two gang-controlled areas, are even more chaotic during the day, and along the way, Leo has seen no less than five gangs fighting for territory and supplies, and the number of participants in each battle is not less than 200.

Seeing these scenes of fighting, Leo couldn't help but think that if these people put the current cannibalistic strength on resisting the army of the French Empire, maybe the French Empire would not be able to occupy Miria City so easily, or maybe the Fran Empire was still mired in the war quagmire of Miria City.

This battle of Miria City is a joke to people like Leo who have experienced countless wars, from the moment the French Imperial army unexpectedly crossed the Black Forest and landed in West France, Miria City lost the will to fight from top to bottom. The upper class chose to flee, or the so-called retreat, and the lower class chose to surrender, willing to be lambs to the slaughter at will. Leo couldn't help but guess that even if the French Empire didn't use the means of airship bombing, it only needed to send a large army to gradually press in, and I was afraid that Miria City would be self-defeating.

The city of Miria has been peaceful for so long that the people who live here may not have experienced war for generations, and the entire city has not been built from the beginning to the subsequent expansion without considering the possibility of being attacked, so no fortifications have been built, and the layout of the city has not been considered from the military topography.

Obviously, Rupert and other high-ranking officials of the United Kingdom also saw that Miria City was a sieve full of holes, and with their current military strength, they could not carry out any defense at all, and could only be beaten passively, rather than sit here and wait for death, it was better to retain the living forces and establish defenses in a more favorable area.

Like the upper echelons of the United Kingdom, the French Empire apparently saw that Miria was not a good place to garrison it, and simply abandoned most of its territory, leaving only the cities along the railroad that served as transportation lines.

In the end, the city was left with only a group of poor people who had no country and were abandoned by all countries, and it is no wonder that the Freedom Front established by Ljungberg formed a force so quickly, and I am afraid that this is also related to the despair and anger and humiliation of the locals of Miria!

Leo didn't have any trouble walking on the road, after all, anyone who wasn't too stupid could see that Leo wasn't an easy person to deal with, and instead of offending the powerful lone wanderer who didn't care, it was better to target the ordinary refugees who were easier to deal with.

When Leo arrived at the Blood Wizard's camp, the man guarding the entrance to the camp recognized Leo and let him in without hindrance, but was stopped in front of the tent by two giants who were not as strong as ordinary people, and then a huge sweat bent over and entered the tent and informed Leo of the matter to the Blood Wizard who was dealing with things inside.

"There's a clue so soon?" asked Lawrence Hillman, who was waiting outside, putting down what he was doing, stepping out of his tent.

Leo didn't beat around the bush, but asked directly: "I want to ask, how did you know that the blood research materials you wanted were in the hands of that medical school scholar, and how did you know that the scholar didn't take them and left them in the underground vault?"

When Lawrence heard this, he was stunned, and for a while he didn't quite understand why Leo asked such a brainless question, but he still answered truthfully: "I have been very concerned about this blood research for a long time, so I have always asked the inside of the medical school to always pay attention to this research information, and it was not until not long ago that there was no news of this information, and I know whose hands this information is." After that, I sent someone to investigate......"

"The person you sent out to investigate is also from the medical school, right?" Leo asked, interrupting the Blood Wizard.

"Yes. Lawrence Hillman seemed to hear something from Leo's words, nodded, and continued while thinking: "That person is also one of the top officials of the medical school, and he was able to find out some useful information, and this information was also found out by him. You must have found out what happened after that, I sent someone to get the information, but I didn't expect it to be involved in the Circle of Plague. ”

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

"It's been found. Lawrence Hillman said with a look of disappointment: "However, there is still a gap between the blood research data and the information I expected, and it is not very useful to me." As he spoke, he asked impatiently, "You should now tell me why you are asking me these questions, right?"

Leo did not hide that he told the Blood Wizard what he had guessed before, and when the Blood Wizard heard it, he did not deny it as vigorously as Ljungberg did, but fell into deep thought, but the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.

Unlike Ljungberg, Lawrence Hillman spent a long time in the medical school and other affiliates of the medical school in his early years.

Although his research projects and academic level were not enough to gain attention in medical school, let alone become a high-level medical school, Leo's speculation was not cranky and unpurposeful based on his medical school experience. Because if a great plague can really help the medical school regain its power and status, with the character of those people in the medical school, it will definitely be able to do such a thing, after all, the living are just some consumable research materials for them, and countless living research objects are secretly sent to their operating table every year, and the so-called casualties are just a number in their eyes.

In addition, he knew better than Leo that not only the French Empire had begun to take over all the medical institutions and personnel of the Medical School in the French Empire, but even the United Kingdom, which had a good relationship with the Medical School, had begun to secretly carry out this matter, and other countries were probably similar. Once this is done, the influence of the medical school will probably fall to the bottom, and the only place that can be fully controlled is the small territory where the medical school headquarters is located.

"Your guess makes sense, and I think the medical school guys are going crazy. The blood wizard who figured out the problem not only did not show an anxious and annoyed look, but swept away the gloom on his face, showed an excited smile, and said with some schadenfreude: "But what does it matter if it's a medical school or not? Someone has to come out and confess, my shoulders are too small to bear this sin, and the behemoth of medical school is just right." ”

Hearing Lawrence's words, Leo easily guessed the other party's thoughts, according to the meaning of the blood wizard, even if Leo's guess was wrong, he would find a way to make this guess come true, and at the same time get the medical school involved in this vortex, he also took himself out.

If it had been before, Leo would not have had any additional thoughts on this kind of thing, for him, finding the Plague Ring was the goal, and the process and consequences were not his considerations. But now with the disappearance of the parabrain, there have been some changes in the brain's thinking, emotions and even soul, which have given him ordinary feelings, such as the feelings between men and women for Sylvia. In addition, there are also likes and dislikes for certain things, such as the fact that he now feels a little displeased with Lawrence's approach, and can even be said to be disgusted.

It's just that although this kind of likes and dislikes affected his emotions, it was not enough to affect Leo's behavior, so he didn't open his mouth to correct the action, but asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

"Continuing the investigation, of course. Lawrence Hillman said excitedly, and asked Leo again: "I know that several forces related to the medical school are secretly lurking in Miria City, just because their subordinate department is a little troublesome, and I am not suitable to investigate......

"Give me the address. Leo didn't wait for the blood wizard to finish speaking, so he took the initiative to take the job, but then said, "You can help me find something for the past two days, I need to use it." ”

"What is it?" Lawrence asked curiously.

"The eyes of an adult eagle, the ashes of three flames, the leaves of an ancient oak tree with silver threads......" Leo recounted the list of materials he had in his head to perform a certain sorcery.

Lawrence Hillman was unimpressed at first, but soon his face became serious, and he memorized the material carefully.

Although Lawrence's blood sorcery is different from the way most other sorcery is performed today, it does not mean that he is not aware of other sorcery. He could hear that the materials Leo was talking about were some very ordinary sorcery materials, but the conditions attached to these materials were a bit troublesome.

For example, although the leaves of the ancient oak tree are common, the long silver thread on the leaves is very rare, and it is not something that can be found just by looking for it, but because its effect is not much better than that of ordinary ancient oak leaves, the price is not very high, so few apothecary merchants will introduce these materials in particular. In addition, there are more than a dozen materials in Leo's list, which are almost as difficult to find as this silver thread like leaves, and it is difficult to collect them all, and you need to use some special relationships to do it.

According to the character of the blood wizard, he would never agree to such a troublesome thing, 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, the words of rejection were stuck in his throat and could not be spoken.
