Chapter 496: Rights, Changes, and Clues
Three days after returning to the apartment in Port Set, which had been spent almost entirely on the ship without incident, Leo spent most of his time in the cabin, studying the notes given to him by Sir Roland.
I don't know if it's because of the environment, or because the heart has flown to the Moissanite continent, his interpretation of the notes seems to have reached a bottleneck, and after a few days of reading, there is almost no progress.
After returning to the apartment, Leo also found that his psychological state was not suitable for continuing his research, so he gave himself a rare two-day vacation, and during these two days he did nothing but wander around the port of Sette.
Although Leo has been in Port Set for half a year, and he knows the geography of Port Set well, most of this knowledge is based on information related to the geographical environment, and in fact he has never visited the former first port of the Kingdom of Inge.
After a few days of wandering, there were no secrets left in the whole Port of Sette to him.
Not only did he combine the geographical data in his brain with the real information he had collected to construct a complete geographical model in his brain, but this geographical model not only included the surface of the buildings in Port Set, but even the size of the buildings and the secret doors of the secret passages were captured by the spiritual network and added to the map of the brain.
Likewise, he discovers the secrets of many Port Set's officials and wealthy merchants, but these secrets are nothing compared to the big secrets that Leo has received from the wizards of the wilderness.
However, in the past two days, Leo has found some interesting things, such as the fact that many people with clan blood have left the docks of Port Set by boat, and their destination is Vinaya Harbor, which is already known as the land of freedom for clans in the dark world.
In addition, some of the people from the dark world that Leo had seen in the black market before were also disguised and left on a boat.
It is clear that the departure of these people has something to do with a special bureau of supervision set up by the royal family in the past two days.
The day after Leo returned, Jason found him and asked him for advice, according to him, the royal family installed a supervision department in the Special Bureau, and directly recruited the current Special Bureau agents to be called department members, and Jason was not deeply involved with the Special Bureau because he was a newcomer to the Special Bureau, and he was also the first person to receive a recruitment letter from the Special Bureau of Port Set.
After listening to the relevant content about the supervision department of the Special Bureau, Leo couldn't help but sigh that the royal family had a very accurate grasp of the timing this time.
The reason for the establishment of the Supervisory Department by the Royal Family is that there have been heavy casualties among the members of the Special Bureau recently, and there are faint signs of various extraordinary events within the Kingdom of England that are out of control, coupled with the internal ghost incidents within the Special Bureau, so it is necessary to establish an independent oversight department within the Special Bureau.
The Diet is polarized over the royal family's proposals, with some arguing that the royal family's influence should not be allowed to extend to the real branches of government, and that it is a powerful department such as the Special Bureau, which has dual judicial and judicial powers and special powers.
But some people think that the performance of the Special Bureau has been too bad recently, not only have the agents of the Special Bureau been investigating all kinds of extraordinary events, such as the Death Valley incident, but also the ghost incident proves that there is a problem within the Special Bureau, and it is a big problem. By all circumstances, the Special Bureau was no longer able to control the growing number of extraordinary events in the Kingdom of England, so it was necessary to create a new department within the Special Bureau.
Perhaps because the royal family had made a lot of preparations in advance, although there were great differences within the National Assembly on the establishment of the special bureau supervision department, but in the end, the bill was secretly promoted by the royal family representative to the parliament, and it was passed by a small vote, and the person who presided over the special bureau supervision department was Leo's old acquaintance Wizard Otto.
Judging from this incident, although the old wizard was not able to bring back the Seagod artifact, he brought back some werewolves and blood clans, in addition to their own qualities, they can quickly become extremely good and powerful warriors after a period of training, and these people can also create a certain number of bloodline descendants to increase the number of races.
It is precisely for this reason that the status of the old wizard in the eyes of the royal family has not only not been adversely affected, but has become more and more important, and even a government department with real power that the royal family has managed to obtain has been handed over to the old wizard to control.
However, as for the fact that Jason would receive a job offer letter from the overseer, Leo felt that the reason Jason said was just an open excuse, and the overseer would see that Jason was likely to be related to him.
Since the old wizard has been eyeing Leo for a long time, it is impossible not to know the existence of Jason, so Jason is likely to be just a temporary springboard found by the old wizard, in order to get closer to Leo.
So in the face of Jason's inquiry, Leo gave the simplicity of not accepting the recruitment, and handed the recruitment letter to the head of the special bureau branch.
Jason didn't understand Leo's simplicity, in his opinion, the conditions on the job offer were really lucrative, as long as he agreed to the recruitment, he would be able to sit in a position almost equivalent to the current head of the Special Bureau's Set, far better than being an ordinary agent in the Special Bureau.
Leo also answered Jason's question.
First of all, Jason's giant bloodline is still in the development and growth stage, and only constant fighting can make his bloodline grow, so the ordinary agent on the front line is a chore for others who will encounter dangerous battles at any time, but for Jason, it is a rare beauty.
On the other hand, the promises made in the job offer don't make any sense at all. This supervisory department was set up entirely to supervise the internal affairs of the Special Bureau, and it is inevitable that it will be rejected by agents within the Special Bureau.
But the problem is that Jason is just a person, there is no other person around him who can be trusted except for Leo and others, he is just a bare-bones commander in that position, and the final result will inevitably be unable to escape the end of being impeached and removed from power, and he will not be able to sit in that position at all.
Moreover, it is clear that the supervisory department is more concerned with the political struggles within the Special Bureau, and how can Jason's character play with those scheming politicians, and his final result is naturally self-evident.
As for Leo, Leo asked Jason to hand over the recruitment letter to the head of the branch, mainly to let Jason show his attitude and loyalty in front of the head of the Port Set, which would facilitate Jason's development in the Special Bureau.
Jason finally followed Leo's advice, and this incident also made Leo realize that the royal family was not indifferent to the failure to obtain the Poseidon artifact, and since they were not angry with the old wizard, they naturally had to find a new punching bag, and the people in the dark world of the Inge Kingdom naturally suffered.
I have to say that the royal family does have some smart people, they have installed a supervision department within the special bureau, not only to obtain part of the rights of the special bureau, but also to use the special bureau as a pawn to deal with those disobedient dark world people in the kingdom for them, and the royal family does not have to take any risks, just sit back and reap the results.
It's just that the Special Bureau is not a fool, they know very well that if they really do what they are told from above, I am afraid that they will completely offend the people of the dark world of the kingdom to death, in that case, the agents of the Special Bureau will probably become the target of revenge, and that result will definitely not be what the Special Bureau is willing to see.
Therefore, they are not very strict with the cleaning of the dark world in the kingdom, and they only target the ordinary mercenaries and bounty hunters who are fighting in the dark world, as for those who have extraordinary powers, they only get some painless warnings, and the black market, which is the largest gathering place of transcendents in the dark world, has not been affected in any way.
In the past few days of rest, Leo also went to the black market a few times, in addition to selling some wizard potions for cash, but also to collect some information related to the wasteland, since he already has a plan to go to the wasteland, then he must be prepared in advance.
It's just that even in the black market, it is very difficult to find useful and detailed information about the wasteland, most of which only involve the outermost tribal areas of the wasteland, and the deeper part of the wasteland does not have any reliable and useful information, and most of them are some unreliable rumors.
In the early days of pioneering, the colonists of the countries of Velun had planned to open up the wasteland, but they were blocked by the tribes, although in the end the tribe failed to block, allowing the colonists to go deep into the wasteland, but in the face of the wasteland that hides endless dangers, everyone has no idea of pioneering, and only a small number of adventurers will choose to go deep into the wasteland to find some precious animals and plants that are extinct in other continents of Velon.
Therefore, until now, the vast majority of people in the world of Velon's perception of the wasteland have stopped at the tribal area, and the deeper part is still a mystery.
However, Leo's healing potion has become one of the most important commodities in the black market of Port Set, and Leo's own status in the black market has been raised to the highest level, and the improvement of the status of the black market is not only reflected in the price of buying and selling goods, but also in the preciousness of the items purchased.
Although the black market can't get the complete wasteland materials, some fragmentary information about the wasteland can still be found on the black market.
Over the years, many people have ventured into the wasteland, some were lucky enough to find something precious, left alive, and ended up rich, while others were unlucky enough to stay in the wasteland forever.
Most of those who are lucky will record their experiences in the wasteland, although there is no shortage of exaggerated content, but it is also the first-hand information of the wasteland that can be found, but most of this information is lost among the people, and it takes a little time to collect it.
For this reason, Leo spent two bottles of healing potions, and just as Leo was about to leave the black market, the person in charge of the black market in Port Set stopped Leo and said, "Mr. Dodd, didn't you want to meet the wizard who helped us build the black market in Port Set?"
"Yes!" Leo was stunned and asked, "Do you have any news of him?"
Leo had previously asked the head of the black market if he could meet with the wizard who set up the black market, but the head of the black market did not know the wizard's whereabouts. This wizard is not from the black market, but the upper echelons of the black market have invited him to help, and he left after laying out the Turing root in the black market, and even the top management of the black market does not know the current whereabouts of this person.
Originally, Leo thought that he had missed out on this wizard, but he didn't expect that now there was news, but at this time, Leo's mentality was different, and after seeing the Turing root and rune magic array arranged by the real tower wizard in Death Valley and Old Joseshburg, his research object had been transferred there, and he was much less interested in the wizard who arranged the black market.
However, even if the interest is much smaller, it would be nice to be able to meet this wizard and exchange knowledge.
"Nope. The person in charge of the black market shook his head, and before Leo misunderstood, he added: "However, one of the items he left on the black market has passed its shelf life and can be sold, I would like to ask if you are interested in this thing?"
"What is it?" asked Leo.
"We don't know what it is, it's in a box, and the box is sealed by fifty well-made locks, and fifty locks need to be opened to open the box," said the head of the black market. ”
"Haven't you tried to open it?" asked Leo again.
"Tried, but it didn't open. The person in charge of the black market said truthfully: "Those locks can only be opened with some techniques that wizards know, and we have also thought about breaking the shell, but the box is not known what metal it is made of, and the shell is very hard, and no trace can be left on it by any means." ”
Leo smiled and said, "Do you think I'll buy something like this that I don't even know the contents?"
The person in charge of the black market also said with a smile: "Actually, we think that even if the things in there are not worth anything at all, that box is precious enough, even if it costs a lot of money, it will not suffer." ”
Leo nodded in agreement with the person in charge of the black market, it is true that even if the contents of the box are just an ordinary stone, the delicate box that even the black market cannot open is precious enough. So after thinking about it for a moment, Leo said, "You convinced me. Where's the stuff? I want to buy it. ”
"Sorry, it's not with me. The person in charge of the black market shook his head again, then took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Leo, saying, "The thing is in Padu City, Yasha County, Maris Kingdom, where the black market is preparing to hold an auction, and that item is among the auction items." ”
"Asha County?" Leo couldn't help frowning when he heard the name, because this place seemed to be the origin of werewolves and bloodlines in the world of Veron, he didn't expect that he had just come into contact with werewolves and bloodlines in Death Valley, and now they were connected again.
Leo, who got the invitation, didn't give a clear answer to the person in charge of the black market, so he turned around and left the black market, and the person in charge of the black market stood in place for a long time with a blank face, not understanding whether Leo agreed to go or not.
