"What is Nilgard? wouldn't you mind explaining?" Leo walked over to Catherine, crouched on the ground, and looked at the words and symbols on it, he didn't feel any energy on them.

"Let's go find ......" Catherine, who has many secrets in her heart, is reluctant to say more, ready to stand up and continue to search for Nelson's whereabouts.

However, before she could finish her words, Leo's hand pressed down on her body as she was about to stand up, and then Leo was heard to say in an extremely cold tone, "Miss Catherine, I think we should make it clear now." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Catherine's face was grim, and her hand couldn't help but rest on the battle axe that Leo had given her earlier.

"I'll be honest! I don't trust you. Leo also behaved very seriously, and did not look at Catherine's hand on the tomahawk in the slightest, but looked at it and said: "But the doctor believes in you very much, he thinks that even if you have been cut off from him for so many years, you are still the Catherine he loves, so as a comrade-in-arms who killed together from the line of death, I can also try to trust you, but Miss Catherine, you are very disappointing! In my opinion, you are not worthy of the doctor's trust!"

At the mention of Nelson, Catherine had a hint of gloom in her eyes, then took a deep breath to stabilize her guilt, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Remember the question I asked you?" Leo said in an accentuated tone, "What is it about the doctor that would attract Martin Luther's attention, and he will not hesitate to think of a plan full of mistakes and omissions, and use his feelings for you to trick him into this catacomb? What does this catacomb have to do with the doctor? Do you remember these two questions?"

"Of course I do. Catherine responded.

"On the railcar that came to the parish, when I asked you, you didn't know the answer, I believed you, so I didn't ask again. The oppressive force on Leo's body gradually increased, so that Catherine did not dare to look at him again, "Before entering the secret passage of the Temple of Eternal Sleep, I asked you again, you deliberately diverted the topic, and I didn't care, after all, finding a doctor is the point. And now, are you going to tell me you don't know anything?"

Catherine couldn't bear the pressure that kept pouring out of Leo's body, tilted her head to the side, and said without confidence: "But what does this have to do with Nelson?

"Okay! I believe what you said, it has nothing to do with Nelson. Leo stretched out his hand and pressed Catherine's shoulder, and said word by word, "Now, I ask Miss Catherine to tell me that what you have discovered has nothing to do with Nelson, and I will not ask anything more." ”

The surrounding atmosphere immediately quieted down and became extremely tense, Jason was not used to such a tense atmosphere, so he found an excuse to scout the surrounding environment and avoided this awkward atmosphere for the time being.

"I don't know what your concerns are, I'm just concerned about the safety of my comrades. Leo let go of the hand that was on Catherine's shoulder, and his tone softened a little, and said, "The doctor must have been brought here for a purpose, think of the case information provided by Mr. Martin! If there is no accident, the doctor will definitely encounter something similar, so the more we understand the things we are facing now, the more we can safely rescue the doctor, what do you think?"

After Leo's voice fell, the surroundings were quiet again, but the atmosphere was inexplicably much more relaxed, no longer as tense and serious as just now.

Catherine suddenly spoke: "I do know something related to Nelson, but this matter also has something to do with my race, this is the secret of my race, so I ......"

Without waiting for Catherine to finish speaking, Leo took the initiative to interrupt her explanation, stood up, and said, "In that case, if I didn't ask, you don't have to say anything, let's find a doctor!"

You're right, there are some things I should tell you. Catherine stopped Leo, hesitated slightly, and said, "Martin will target Nelson because of Nelson's origins. ”

"Where is the doctor?" Leo said as he sat back down beside Catherine, confused.

Catherine said: "Nelson is the youngest son of the Matthew family in Port Set. ”

Originally, Catherine was expecting Leo's surprised expression, but Leo didn't react at all.

Catherine asked, "Do you already know Nelson's background?"

"I don't know. Leo shook his head and said honestly, "I don't even know about the Matthew family. ”

"Are you from the Kingdom of Inge?" Catherine said with an incredulous expression, "Robert Matthew, Lord Protector, the withered White Rose family?"

It's a pity that Catherine said so much, and Leo still looked confused.

It's no wonder that Leo has such a reaction, this body used to be just a blacksmith in a remote town, he knew very little about the history of the Inge Kingdom, and he only cared about the things around him, even if some memories were fused with him, they were incomplete, and naturally he wouldn't know what the protector was, what the White Rose family was.

Catherine saw that Leo really didn't know these things, so she carefully explained: "Robert Matthew is the founder of the White Rose family, he was named a protector for saving the royal family, and let his son marry the princess of the royal family, and let his daughter marry the later Charles I, starting a hundred years of red roses and white roses ruling the kingdom of England. However, for unknown reasons, the White Rose family gradually declined, gradually withdrew from the political center of the Kingdom of England, and moved to Port Seth. ”

Leo asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with this catacomb?"

Catherine said: "After a hundred years of intermarriage between the Matthew family and the royal family of England, the family also has royal blood in the blood, and the royal family of England is said to have the blood of gods. ”

"Divine bloodline?" Leo was stunned for a moment, if he would have scoffed at this kind of thing before, but now he couldn't help but think of the black shadow he saw in that unknown place and the golden giant deer he saw in the Black Forest, these beings were no different from gods in a way.

"I doubt you're an Englishman. Catherine misunderstood Leo and was stunned because she didn't know about it, so she muttered to herself, but she didn't know that she had told the truth, "William I, the founder of the English royal family, was the first general of the First French Dynasty, and was sentenced to treason for offending the then French emperor, but because other nobles interceded, the punishment was changed from beheading to exile at sea. Legend has it that William I's family drifted at sea for many days, running out of food and completely losing hope of survival. At this time, a sea god appeared, saved William I's family, and brought them to the current Inge Islands, and then made William I and his heirs his dependents, giving them the blood of the gods, so the Inge royal family has always regarded themselves as the god of the sea god. ”

"Poseidon?" Leo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "The octopus on the army badge is the Poseidon?"

"Yes. Catherine was well aware that Leo knew nothing about these legends, whether they belonged to her home country or not.

"Well, the doctor has the blood of a god, and that's why he's been targeted. Leo summed up a little and asked, "What about this catacomb, and what does it have to do with the doctor, or the divine bloodline in the doctor?"

When talking about the catacombs, the look of concern on Catherine's face returned, and after much hesitation, she decided to say it.

Catherine walked to the base of the statue, squatted down and stroked the strange words on it, and said with emotion: "This is not a catacomb, this should be an ancient underground city-state called Nirgard, the ancestral land of our lonely people, and the real names of our people should be Nirgard." ”

Hearing Catherine's words, Leo was stunned and wondered, "The workers who live in Cage City are all your clansmen?"

"Not exactly, but most of the time. Catherine Han replied vaguely, then was silent for a moment, and asked Leo, "Do you know the history of the Franco-Empire, such as the slave kingdom that almost broke off the inheritance of the Franco-Empire. ”

"I heard from the doctor on the way to Lanxi. ”

"Everyone knows that His Majesty destroyed the dynasty of the newly established Western Continent, rebuilt the French Empire, continued the bloodline of the French royal family, and destroyed all the words about that dynasty, because that dynasty was founded by slaves, and when others mention it, they can only give it the name of a slave kingdom. Catherine inadvertently showed a look of hostility and hatred when she mentioned the French Empire, and with a hint of inexplicable sentimentality when she mentioned the slave kingdom, she said: "Everyone has only seen the glorious French Empire, but how many people know the final whereabouts of those who participated in the establishment of the slave kingdom?"

"You are the descendants of the Slave Kingdom?" Leo guessed in understanding.

Catherine did not admit it, nor did she deny it, but continued: "Our people have been tormented by the royal family of France in every way possible in the past years, making us do the heaviest and most dangerous work, making us live in the worst places, eating the worst food, neither letting us live well nor letting us die in pain, they want to torture us for eternity. ”

As she spoke, she sensed that something was wrong, so she stopped, closed her eyes slightly, and calmed down the increasingly excited emotions, and Leo did not disturb her, quietly waiting for the following.

At this time, Jason, who had walked away before, seemed to sense that the atmosphere here had returned to normal, so he walked over and sat aside without making a sound.

"We survived, we returned to our royal capital, we rebuilt a city, we reunited our faith, and we rediscovered our past history. Catherine recounted: "We have found ancient books left behind in the catacombs, ancient books about the slave kingdom that had been erased by the French Empire, and even more ancient books. ”

"Wait!" Leo suddenly stopped Catherine from continuing, and then very abruptly took Catherine's hand, gestured to Jason, and ran towards one of the stone houses, and soon hid in the stone house, and put his hands on the two battle axes on his waist, against the edge of the window, and peeked out.

Leo's sudden action made Jason and Catherine, who followed closely behind, instantly nervous, and although they didn't know why, they each took out their weapons and held them tightly in their hands, while covering the wall lamp in their hands with their burqas.

However, they waited for a long time and did not feel any movement outside, and they couldn't help but wonder if Leo had misjudged, and when they were about to ask, Leo raised his hand to stop them, and then saw Leo pointing to a ruin at the edge of the square.

Jason and Catherine poked their heads out of the window slightly, looking carefully at Leo's fingers, and soon they saw a clue that there was a dark shadow lurking in the ruins, but what puzzled them was that the black shadow's shape was very strange no matter how it looked.

The overall image of this black shadow is very much like a mess of mud, and when it moves, it feels less like it is walking, and more like it is flowing on the ground.

In addition, its body is transparent, allowing the light emitted by the fluorescent plants under its cover to pass through its body and project outwards to create an effect similar to invisibility.

If it weren't for the fact that the shadow's ability to make its body transparent disappear from time to time when it moved, revealing its true form, perhaps Jason and Catherine would have had a hard time seeing the existence of such a monster in that ruin.

I saw that the monster's movement seemed to be very slow, but in fact it was very fast, and it was not affected by the terrain image, and quickly turned over a piece of rubble ruins that was difficult for ordinary people to climb over, and came to the square where Leo and the others were staying before.

At this moment, the monster suddenly stopped, circled around the base of the statue, and stopped next to the cornerstone where Catherine and Leo had just sit, and the muddy body wrapped around the cornerstone.

Seeing this, Leo didn't say anything, and immediately took out a church burqa from his body, which he had put in his backpack before, took out a tomb wall lamp, poured all the lamp oil on the burqa, and then rolled it up and took out a lighter.

Jason and Catherine, who were on the side, also became nervous, and Leo gestured to Jason again, pointing to the flintlock cannon that Jason was carrying on his back.

Jason immediately understood and took the cannon down, quickly stuffed a piece of ammunition, handed it to Leo, helped him carry it on his back, and took the breech gun with five special bullets from him.

At that moment, the monster suddenly released its transparent physical abilities, and arched from the ground, about a man tall, and cracked a hole in the muddy body, and let out a scream towards the house where Leo and the others were, and then moved towards Leo and them at a very fast speed.
