Chapter 294: A New Lady Believer

Regardless of the reason why there is no psionic interference device in the Governor's Palace of the French Empire, it is a good thing for Leo now, he can easily grasp the location and movement of everyone in each mansion through the spirit network, which allows him to walk around the Governor's Palace at will like a self-driving garden.

The residence of the Governor's Palace is very large, there are more than 3,000 houses in the main building alone, and this is not counting those secret rooms, if you add the rooms in the secret room and the annex building, then the total number of rooms will exceed 5,000.

Because of the banquets, most of the people in the mansion were concentrated in the banquet hall and lounge light, and the other guest rooms, bedrooms, and other rooms were vacant except for a few people who used them, and there were guards from the Governor's Palace patrolling back and forth in the corridors.

Although the patrol route of the guards is perfectly arranged, almost every aisle can be guarded by one or two guards at any time, people are not machines after all, and it is impossible for them to cooperate so seamlessly, and they will always be misaligned when patrolling due to some reasons of themselves or others.

Leo easily found the loopholes in these patrol routes and quickly searched the mansion for some useful clues.

Earlier, the elegant lady believer found by Leo entered the Doge's Palace, and walked directly into the mansion, carrying various pastries and drinks from the maid, towards the Doge's study.

On the way, he met a number of people, including servants from the Governor's Palace, as well as some guests, who seemed to know him, and the servants would salute very respectfully, and the guests would take the initiative to nod and greet him, depending on the situation, his status in the Governor's Palace should not be low.

Leo followed the servant, avoiding the guards in the aisle, until he reached the governor's study.

Compared to the other important rooms of the Doge's Palace, this study is obviously much smaller, and half of the area is used as an exhibition hall to display the exploits and spoils collected by the Doge in the past wars.

After entering the study, the servant put the plate in his hand on the table, took out the wine glass, got a glass of wine, and then stood quietly by the door, as if waiting for something.

After about ten minutes, a bookcase next to the window suddenly opened automatically, and a young man in gorgeous clothes walked out of the secret room behind the bookcase, with a very tired look on his face, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was troubled by something.

At this moment, Leo, who was outside the study, seemed to be a little surprised by the appearance of this young man, or more accurately, surprised by the presence of a secret room in the study. In his spiritual network scan, the inside of the study was very ordinary, there was no place like a secret room at all, and the thickness of the walls around the study could not have facilities such as passages.

What's even more strange is that even though the scene of the young man coming out of the secret room behind the bookcase now happened in Leo's mental network perception, he still couldn't detect the existence of the secret room, and in his spiritual network feedback information, it was just an ordinary wall.

"Elegant lady's dressing room!" caused Leo to quickly find a plausible explanation from the knowledge of the webweaver.

Although theoretically opening up a half-plane is an ability that every god should have, in fact, there are very few gods who can really have the ability to open up a half-plane on their own, and there are even fewer gods who can freely open up a half-plane, and Lady Grace happens to be one of them.

At the height of the Lady of Grace's faith, the Lady of Grace Church would reward some of the most prestigious, meritorious, and devotees with some divine wonders, and among them was the Lady Grace's dressing room.

The function of this artifact is to create a half-dimensional chamber, and only the owner of the artifact can freely enter and exit this chamber, and no one else can use it, but also cannot even see it.

Although the number of such half-dimensional strange objects is not much, it is not a lot, according to the knowledge of the weavers, the Church of Grace Lady has given away six in name, and how many of them have been secretly sent out is still unknown.

However, one thing is certain, all the people who get the Grace Lady's dressing room are devout members of the Grace Lady Church, and they are also the absolute top of the Church, and only the devout followers of the Grace Lady can use this divine artifact, which is different from the wizarding artifact.

Now seeing the appearance of Lady Grace's dressing room, Leo is sure of at least two things, one thing is that this young man is definitely a devout disciple of Lady Grace, but he doesn't know if he is the target he is looking for. The second thing is to make sure that Lady Grace really still exists, and is still alive and well, because this kind of divine curiosity, especially the half-dimensional strange thing, needs the divine power of Lady Grace to be able to support its existence, otherwise, this divine and strange thing is no different from a waste product.

The young man was not surprised that the servant would appear in the study, walked directly to the desk, drank the wine from the quilt, then reached out to take the towel handed by the servant, wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up a pastry and threw it into his mouth, and asked, "Have the little ones been fed yet?"

"It's already fed, young master. The servant replied.

The young man casually sat on the edge of his desk, eating and asking, "What's going on in the city lately?"

The servant took out a small notebook from his bosom and said, "Sir George is very annoyed that he has lost his goods, and has been making trouble at the police station for the past two days. ”

"Sir George's goods, you're talking about the batch of materials shipped from the Moissanite continent. The young man frowned and asked.

"Yes. The servant nodded.

The young man sneered and said, "You can go to the police station later, and tell the Chief Albert that there is no need to deal with this matter." The empire has explicitly banned the smuggling of slaves, and he still has to commit crimes against the wind, even if he has an academy behind him, it is useless. ”

The servant was a little worried, "If we do this, we will ...... with the Academy of Sciences."

"Ignore them, just a bunch of blasphemers, they will regret what they have done sooner or later. The young man seemed to be very hostile to the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and there was an incomparably palpable contempt on his face and tone.

The servant did not answer the young man's words, and although he thought the same thing in his heart as the young man, he would not say it, and asked for trouble.

The servant then continued to brief the young man on what had happened in the city recently, saying, "The Manatee has captured a giant squid, which is said to be longer than a small dreadnought. ”

"The Chamber of Commerce has decided to print an additional 50,000,000 vinayas on the market to meet the amount of money needed for commerce in the near future. ”

"There has been a great plague outbreak in Miria City, and the death toll has reached three thousand, and it is still increasing rapidly, and now Miria City has been completely blocked, and no one needs to enter or come out. ”

"The Holy Blood Society's antique shop was robbed not long ago, and the Holy Blood Society suspects that it was an insider's doing, and is investigating ......"

"Wait!" the young man suddenly stopped the servant and asked in a deep voice, "You just said that the Holy Blood would be robbed?"

The servant corrected, "It's not the Holy Blood Society, it's the Holy Blood Society's antique shop." ”

"It's all the same, it's all the same. The young man waved his hand and motioned to the servant not to chew on the words so much, and then he inquired in detail about the situation.

The servant seemed to know that the young man was interested in this matter, so he had already done his homework beforehand, except for Leo's existence, which was weakened to the point of being a normal guest, and the rest of the content was very close to the situation at the time.

"No," the young man immediately shook his head in denial after hearing this, and said, "It's definitely not the work of people within the Holy Blood Society. ”

"Why?" the servant was stunned.

Leo, who was eavesdropping outside the study, was also stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "Isn't he the one who robbed things?"

"Because it's so obvious. The young man habitually touched the short beard on his chin and said: "If you dare to rob the antique shop of the Holy Blood Society, you must not be a stupid guy, you must have been peeping for a long time, and you hardly need to think about it now, after hearing this, the first thought is that an insider committed a crime, so this possibility is the least." ”

At this moment, a servant suddenly came to the corridor outside the study, this person came to the outside of the study, knocked on the door, and after getting permission, pushed the door in, and then said to the people inside: "Young master, Butler Rhodes, someone handed over this envelope to the guard at the door just now, saying that there is important information to be handed over to Butler Rhodes. ”

Butler Rhodes frowned and took the envelope, waved his hand to signal that the servant could leave, and then directly opened the envelope and looked at the contents on it, the expression on his face became very serious, and then handed the letter with the information to the young man, and said: "Just now Doris led her subordinates to the Holy Blood Society in person, indicating that the matter of the Holy Blood Society's antique shop has nothing to do with them, and she is willing to cooperate with the Holy Blood Society to investigate this matter." ”

The young man looked at the contents of the letter, looked puzzled, and said, "Why did this matter have to do with Doris? Is she crazy? ”

"I don't think Doris is crazy, she must know something we don't know. Butler Rhodes looked very serious, and said in a deep voice: "She should have received the news, and this matter may have been done by the lady's disciples." ”

The young man immediately denied, "No way, there are no other ladies in Venaya except us and them. ”

"No, didn't you read the information I gave you a few days ago?" Butler Rhodes walked to the desk, took out a copy from a stack of papers, put it in front of the young man, and said, "In the past few months, there have been many thefts in the city of Venaya, and the murderer has not been caught so far. I went to see the scene and found that the thieves were most likely perpetrated by lady believers who believed in the way of thieves. ”

"Damn!" the young man's face became unusually serious, and he sat up from his chair and walked up and down the study, looking anxious and worried.

The young man was not worried that he would be involved in this matter, although the Holy Blood Society was very strong in Venaya Harbor, but as a young man, even if he was involved, he would be fine. What really worries him is that if this matter involves him, it is likely to expose some of his plans in Venaya Harbor, and then I am afraid that it will affect some of the things that the empire is doing, in that case, he will be in big trouble.

"Can you find out who did it?" asked the young man in a deep voice.

"There are no clues. Butler Rhodes shook his head and said calmly: "Before, I tried to find out the person who committed those thefts, but I found nothing, although I could feel that this person was wandering around us, but he was always one step behind. ”

The young man's face became a lot gloomy, and after thinking about it for a while, he said in a deep voice: "If you go to the Holy Blood Society in person, you will show your concern about this matter in the name of the Governor's Palace, and tell the people of the Holy Blood Society that we are willing to assist them in their investigation. ”

Butler Rhodes hesitated a little and said, "Wouldn't this be too much, and it seems like we're doing it ......"

The young man shook his head and said, "Instead of passively letting them find out something, it is better for us to take the initiative to cooperate, even if some of our affairs are exposed, as long as it does not involve the empire's plans, there will be no big problem." ”

"I'll do it. Butler Rhodes answered, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait. The young man suddenly stopped Butler Rhodes again and asked, "Do you know what the Holy Blood will throw away?"

"Three skull bowls. Butler Rhodes replied, "It's those three bowls of skulls that drive people crazy." ”

"What?" the young man's face changed suddenly when he heard this.

Butler Rhodes saw a problem on the young man's expression, and asked with concern, "Is there something wrong with these three skull bowls?"

"Of course, there is a problem, a big problem. The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Just now someone sent a set of gifts, and that set of gifts was those three skull bowls. ”

Butler Rhodes opened his mouth, didn't know what to say for a while, was silent for a moment, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't know who gave this gift?"

The young man had an embarrassed expression on his face, and glared at his butler with some annoyance, apparently the butler had guessed correctly, and he had habitually only cared about receiving this gift in the secret room, and had forgotten about other things.

"What now?" Butler Rhodes looked at his master helplessly, and said in as calm his tone as possible, "I remember that you tried to buy these three skull bowls, but the Governor did not allow it, and the matter was settled. But there must be a record of you in that antique shop, so they should be able to find you too. As he spoke, he paused and asked tentatively, "Do you see if you will return the things to ...... first?"

"No, the things that go into the Chamber are mine, no matter where they come from. The young man rejected Butler's proposal, then thought for a moment and said, "You still follow my previous instructions and contact the Holy Blood Society first." This matter is by no means just an ordinary case, the person who did this is probably planning against Vinaya Port, targeting all the forces of Vinaya Port, since it has been involved, let's take the initiative, maybe we can find out something useful. ”

"Got it. Hearing this, Butler Rhodes nodded, turned around and walked out of the study.
