Chapter 1005: Man-made Transcendent
After successfully passing the inspection of the sentry, Leo also adjusted the features on his face, turning into an ordinary person with the characteristics of the deep eyebrow arch of the Farlange, so as to avoid the appearance of the previous little nobleman being exposed because of an acquaintance.
Compared with the somewhat chaotic street planning of other urban areas, the planning of the aristocratic district is very neat, with seven vertical and fourteen horizontal streets, a total of 21 streets dividing the aristocratic district into small squares.
Although most of the nobles who lived here chose to live in apartment buildings composed of a dozen families, there were also many wealthy people who would buy entire small squares and build their own mansions and private gardens, such as the Speaker of the House of Lords.
With such a large mansion as a target, it was difficult for Leo to find the wrong place, and he didn't even need to ask passers-by, and found the mansion of the speaker in less than ten minutes after entering the aristocratic district.
Coming to the vicinity of the Speaker's mansion, Leo did not approach the Speaker's mansion, but found a roadside tavern about a hundred meters away from the mansion and sat down, asked for a little sweet wine and a few newspapers, sat at a small table on the side of the road, and carefully checked the situation inside and outside the mansion through the spiritual network.
The Government of the United Kingdom attaches great importance to the protection against the supernatural and supernatural powers, and not only do all mansions and fields have energy jammers, but all buildings are laid out in stone that interferes with supernatural powers.
It is no exaggeration to say that according to these arrangements of the United Kingdom in the aristocratic district, if Leo had not obtained a complete psionic skill system and carried out a series of anti-interference training, his spiritual network would probably not be able to detect anything useful under the influence of such a complex and chaotic interference force.
In addition to interfering with supernatural powers, among the people who patrol the city, in addition to the gendarmes and patrolmen who wear various weapons, there are also some unmutated transcendents who are dressed in civilian clothes and walk up and down the streets like ordinary people.
Not long after Leo sat down, a plainclothes transcendent sat down at a table next to Leo, and ordered something to eat, observing his surroundings as he ate.
The transcendent was apparently unaware of Leo's special presence, and his attention was all focused on the people who came and went.
At this time, Leo had already figured out the situation of the Speaker of the House of Lords through the spiritual network, and when he retrieved the spiritual network, he scanned the transcendent person who was recruited by the United Kingdom by the way.
Leo has long known from Sylvia's mouth that since the founding of the United Kingdom, it has attached great importance to the research and cultivation of extraordinary powers, and has tried its best to recruit and win over people with extraordinary powers, even if the extraordinary powers held by that person are not powerful powers.
From this point of view, there is not much difference between the United Kingdom and the Empire, one is a little more moderate and roundabout, and the other is a little more crude and direct, but both are trying to find a way to create the transcendent.
Just as the French Empire had found a way to create unstable dependencies, so too had the United Kingdom found a way to create unstable transcendents.
This information did not originate from Sylvia, but from Leo's own investigations.
In Sylvia's Black Castle, there are also some people sent by various departments of the kingdom government to assist Sylvia in dealing with the affairs of the intelligence department, and their main task is not to directly participate in the work of the Sylvia intelligence department, but to coordinate the relationship between the intelligence department and other departments of the kingdom to avoid some misunderstandings and internal consumption of resources.
Among these people, seven of them are transcendents with certain abilities, and Leo took several opportunities to carefully check the physical condition of these people, and he easily discovered the secret of their becoming transcendents in these people, and also mastered the technology of artificial transcendents in the United Kingdom at this stage.
To others, this technology is very mysterious, and when Leo mentions it to Sylvia, she also states that this technology is highly secret in the kingdom, and that all departments related to it are only under the orders of the king, the prime minister, and the parliament, and are not subject to the jurisdiction of any other department, and also have the highest executive power.
In other words, if she sent her subordinates to find out the intelligence of the department related to this technology, then the department would be able to kill her subordinates directly without going through any regulations, and there would be no responsibility afterwards.
Despite the strict secrecy of the United Kingdom, it is a pity that they have encountered Leo, and they have no idea that anyone in the world will be able to discover their artificial supernatural technology directly from the results of their research.
In fact, the principle of this technology is very simple, that is, to use the blood containing extraordinary power to stimulate the hidden extraordinary power in one's own blood, and finally achieve the goal of completely stimulating these powers.
In practice, there are two most critical problems in the operation of this seemingly simple technique, one is how much supernatural power blood should be injected into the experimenter's body, and the other is how to prevent the experimenter's body from rejecting after the blood is injected.
These two key problems are difficult to solve for anyone in this world, even Leo, but there is one person who can easily solve this matter, and this person is the blood wizard Lawrence, a wizard who has been dealing with blood all his life, and has already created his own blood witchcraft, and it must be a breeze for him to alleviate rejection reactions and control extraordinary blood concentrations.
There is such an implanted blood containing extraordinary power in the heart of this plainclothes transcendent person next to Leo, and this blood is always using its weak transcendent power to stimulate the bloodline power of this plainclothes transcendent person, and this stimulating effect is not strong, just the limit of this person's body.
Leo felt the unique energy fluctuations of blood sorcery in this blood, and he also sensed the power of the clan from the extraordinary power of the blood itself, and it was obvious that this blood did not come from other transcendents, but from the clan.
It has to be said that the blood wizard chooses the blood of the clan as the source blood is also very suitable for this kind of transformation method of the artificial transcendental, although the transcendent power of the clan is also derived from the blood, but unlike the transcendent because it contains extraordinary power, the extraordinary power in the blood of the clan comes from the gods they now believe in or the ancestors believe in.
This power from the gods will gradually weaken and eventually disappear after losing its roots, and in the process, it is enough to stimulate the power in the blood of the transcendent itself.
In this way, in terms of stability alone, the transformation of the United Kingdom is more secure and stable than that of the Empire, but in terms of strength, it is clear that the United Kingdom is far from being able to compare with the Empire.
It is difficult for the transcendent created by this transformation technique in the United Kingdom to have great strength, such as the plainclothes transcendent beside Leo, the power contained in the family source blood in his body has been almost consumed, and the energy fluctuation strength possessed by this transcendent person is only a little better than that of ordinary people, and being able to invoke the transcendent power three times in a battle is already his limit.
Moreover, this extraordinary power induced by external forces has also lost its potential to go further, and according to Leo's estimates, unless this plainclothes transcendent man has great perseverance, or obtains some kind of artifact that can purify his blood, it will be difficult for his strength to increase further.
Just as Leo was spying on the secrets of the United Kingdom's artificial transcendents through the spiritual web, the subject of his snooping suddenly stood up from his chair, then quickly made a few gestures around, and then walked towards a middle-aged man who had just stepped out of the carriage across the street.
At this time, several ordinary people in civilian clothes and uniformed policemen around them also gathered over, and they all took out the weapons they had hidden on their bodies, nervously on guard, and looked like they would attack at any time.
The middle-aged man who was targeted also realized that he had been targeted, and he wanted to return to the carriage immediately and leave quickly, but the driver of the carriage had already jumped out of the carriage under the threat of the police, and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
The middle-aged man just wanted to jump into the driver's seat and drive himself, but the bones of his limbs suddenly broke off almost at the same time as if they had been hit hard, and the severe pain made the unsuspecting middle-aged man instantly unconscious.
The plainclothes men immediately lifted the unconscious middle-aged man into the carriage, and then drove the carriage away quickly, leaving only the uniformed police to deal with the follow-up.
The whole arrest operation was very fast, less than three minutes before and after, and I have to say that these people are well-trained.
At this time, the tavern waiter also witnessed all this, he didn't seem surprised, but said to himself: "It's already the sixth time, it seems that with the convening of the Western Continent Conference, it will only become more and more chaotic here, I should be careful after work at night." ”
Leo on the side heard the waiter's self-talk, and immediately thought of something, found a copy of the newspaper on the table, unfolded it, and carefully looked at the contents.
It was recorded in the newspapers that Prime Minister Rudolf Fitz had proposed to the Diet to convene a joint conference of the Western Continent, and the object of the alliance was naturally not the ruined and chaotic city of Miria, but the Hanosa League further north.
The newspapers did not specify the contents of the joint meeting, but from all indications it was supposed to be against the Empire, and the Hanosa League seemed to have some intention and sent people to the United Kingdom to attend the meeting.
Obviously, this kind of thing is definitely not what the Empire wants to see, although the Empire and the United Kingdom have temporarily ceased war, they will still send spies and killers to sabotage this joint meeting of the Western Continent.
The aristocratic district of Hanlock City will have such a strict vigilance, not a daily vigilance that Leo mistakenly thinks, but a vigilance specially made for the smooth running of this meeting, not only the aristocratic district, but also the parliamentary district, the administrative district and the royal palace have adjusted the alert status to the highest level.
Originally, this kind of work to deal with imperial spies and killers was Sylvia's responsibility, and she should be in charge, but when Sylvia was on the Minsk mainland, her intelligence department was divided into two, and the domestic intelligence department was already in charge of someone else, so Sylvia was able to stay in her black castle leisurely when such an important meeting was held.
However, this is good news for Leo, because in this way, he will assassinate the supporters of the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the kingdom, and the scapegoat will be ready.
Just as Leo was thinking about something, a carriage came from the direction of the parliamentary district and stopped in front of the house of the Speaker of the House of Lords, and as the chamberlain opened the door, an old man stepped out of the carriage and stepped into the mansion.
Leo immediately recognized this old man as his target, the Speaker of the House of Lords, and while recognizing the other party, Leo also infiltrated the other party's spiritual net.
It's just that when he got close to the old man, Leo stopped infiltrating and probing, because he could clearly feel that this old man had an extremely strong Sky Lord divine power, if this old man was not a high-level god of the Sky Lord, then he must have a Sky Lord demigod on his body.
Although Leo was confident that with his current control of psionic skills, it would not be too difficult to infiltrate and check on the old man's condition, but he was not sure that he would not touch the divine power of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.
However, even if he can't check the old man's condition, Leo can still monitor the old man's movements, and in this way, Leo's spiritual network has re-infiltrated the Lord's mansion.
"Is there any news over there?" After the old man returned home, he only said hello to his family, and came to his office, at this time there were already several attendants waiting there, and when they saw the old man come in, they stood up one after another, and before they could salute, the old man asked directly.
One of the attendants immediately replied, "They said it would take four days before they could send someone over, because there was a group of out-of-control mutants trying to cross the Dibia Mountains, and they needed to get rid of the mutants before they could send someone over." ”
"Damn, these crazy people did that kind of thing without consulting us, now let's finish it for them! No, we can't just leave it at that, this time we have to make them bleed profusely, and it hurts, so that there will be no next time. The old man muttered with some resentment, and then commanded: "Tell the king over there, the king is angry, their actions have crossed the line, and in order to appease the king's anger, the price previously proposed will be increased by two, no, three times." ”
"Three?" The attendant was stunned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Could this be too much?"
The old man sneered and said, "Not much! The Church of the Lord of the Sky has accumulated much more than you can imagine over the years, and this little effort is nothing to them. With that, he shifted the question to the other attendant, "How's going on at Castle Black?"
The attendant replied, "Everything is normal, there are no problems. ”
The old man glared at the attendant and said, "Fool, this is the biggest abnormality, immediately send more people." ”
