Chapter 555: A Cycle of Bad Luck

Unlike Rembrandt, who was keen on the exploration of ancient civilizations, Count Ed was not interested in the relics of prehistoric civilizations hidden in the wastelands of Moissan, but in the products of tribal civilizations with strong primitive tribal characteristics and the rare animals in the wasteland that had never been seen before.

In order to support his hobby, Count Ed even did not hesitate to buy property in the Moissanite continent, spending half of his time in the Moissanite continent every year.

I don't know if it's because Count Ed himself has a strong business talent, or because Count Ed is very lucky, almost all of his investments in the Moisan continent have been earned, the only difference is that he earns more and earns less.

However, even so, after years of accumulation, Count Ed has become one of the few wealthy nobles in the Kingdom of England, and the books on wasteland animals written by Count Elder based on his notes have also become bestsellers in the Kingdom of England and even in the world of Veron, gaining him a lot of fame.

It's just that for the people of the primitive tribes of the Moisan Continent, Count Ed is definitely not a good person, he once provoked a tribal war by any means in order to obtain a sacred relic of the primitive tribe, causing the death of tens of thousands of people and the extinction of the three tribal civilizations.

It was also because of his bad behavior that the Mozambian Civilization Alliance led by the Kingdom of America and Galica completely expelled him from the Moisan Continent in the form of a decree, and he did not set foot on the Moisan Continent again until his death.

There are also those who believe that Count Eddard's death was not an accident, and it is likely that the revenge of those tribes is that among the shamans of those primitive tribes, there are some transcendents who can control the beasts, and it is not difficult for them to control the horse Count Ed will fall.

In addition, after the death of Count Ed, his various industries in the Moisan continent were attacked by various forces, and in a short period of time he turned from a multinational company into a debt-ridden garbage company, which anyone with a little wisdom can see that there is something wrong with it.

After reading this text recording the life of Count Eddard, Leo thought that the pyramid metal block should be the cause of the holy relic, because in all the relevant records, there is no final whereabouts of the holy relic, as if the holy relic disappeared out of thin air.

"Dacalan!" Leo recited the name of a Moisan standard tribe in the language of the Gugarz language, which literally means to forget, and the additional effect of the control device made Leo even more sure that the pyramid metal block should be the sacred relic of the Dacalan tribe.

It's just that, even if he knew about this tribe, Leo couldn't get any useful information from this tribe, because this tribe was the first tribal civilization to die in that tribal war, and the entire tribe was slaughtered, except for a few young children who were captured by other tribes and became slaves, other adults and elderly people were killed. In the end, at least half of the tens of thousands of people who died in the tribal wars were from the Dakaran tribe.

Luckily, the ruins of the Dakaran tribe are still there, and they have been used by the people of the American kingdom to transform it into a tourist attraction and compile it into a tourist brochure, which Leo now has in his hands.

Not long ago, Leo asked the housekeeper to collect all the books related to the Moissanite continent as much as possible, and finally the housekeeper collected more than a thousand books, more than half of which are travel books, because if you want to be familiar with the Moissanite continent in the shortest time, this kind of books that combine geography, history, customs, etc. are the most suitable.

Therefore, after Leo confirmed that the pyramid metal block might have come from the Dakaran tribe, he immediately found all the books related to Dacalan, including this travel manual, and it was this travel book with the least rigorous content that helped Leo the most.

In this tourist brochure, the publisher has found someone to draw some restored tribal maps, in those pictures there are tribal houses, tribal living items, etc., although the artist's painting skills are not very good, but he can faithfully draw what he sees, including some decorative patterns on materials and daily necessities, and many of those patterns are exactly the same as the patterns on the pyramid metal blocks.

After confirming the origin of the pyramid metal block, Leo did not rush to the Moisan continent, although he was definitely going to go to the Moisan continent, but not now, so he also included this matter as one of his plans and put it on hold for the time being.

After so many days of repeated training, he had mastered the skills of the king and queen, and he was able to perfectly control the power of the bullet, and he would not explode a large hole and penetrate countless obstacles with a single shot.

As he developed his skills with the King and Queen, he also liked the pair even more, as they would increase in power as his strength grew up to the limit of what they could withstand, and according to Leo's calculations, they would be able to be used at least until he reached level 8 psionic power.

Moreover, the King and Queen are examples of more than just piercing and blasting, and Leo discovers that with a bit of skill, these two weapons not only contain the previous psionic effects, but even expand some new ones.

For example, in addition to the effects of bursting, fire, and freezing, the king also has a power similar to nerve concussion, which can directly attack the nervous system in the target's body through concussion without causing fatal damage to the target, which is the most suitable power for those who are strong enough to resist some external attacks.

As for the queen's new ability, it is much worse, in addition to the enhanced effectiveness of penetration and ultra-long shot, the queen is also able to attach to the bullet by saying that the user's spirit is attached, so that when the bullet is fired, the user can affect the direction of the bullet's flight to a certain extent through telekinesis, that is to say, the bullet can be controlled to turn in the air.

It's just that this kind of effectiveness is really a bit of a chicken for Leo, because the queen's piercing bullet alone is enough to penetrate any cover, and he only needs to determine the location of the target through the spirit net.

During the period when Leo was familiar with the new weapon, the top of the Inge Kingdom could be said to have experienced a storm, because the spy case involved in the theft of Count Ed's warehouse items was snowballing bigger and bigger, at first it was only within the Special Bureau, but in just a few days, it expanded to local councils, and in the end, even the parliament and the royal family were involved.

At this time, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of England found that their internal affairs had been infiltrated by spies from various countries, and for a while, the royal family, the Duke of Buckingham, the aristocracy and the parliament quickly reached a consensus to arrest and eliminate all the spies. Except for a few who fled after receiving the news, most of the rest of the spies and traitors were arrested. Among those arrested were four members of the royal family, seven members of parliament, dozens of members of local parliaments and a large number of government officials.

Although this purge has caused great damage to the top of the English Kingdom and has almost shaken the pillars of the founding of the Kingdom of England, for the people at the bottom, it has not touched much at all, just has some after-dinner conversation, and can gloat at the nobles who have been arrested.

For Leo, after this matter was expanded to the upper echelons of the entire Inge Kingdom, it also had some bad effects, because after investigation, the old Marquis Roosevelt also leaked some secrets to hostile countries when he was a court official, so the Marquis Roosevelt family was also the target of arrest.

It's just that Marquis Roosevelt was very shrewd and well-informed, and knew the danger early on, so before the Kingdom of England officially captured him, he moved his entire family to the Moisan continent, leaving only some estates and other industries that could not be taken away, as well as some unimportant servants.

As for Sir Roland, although he did not find any leakage of state secrets and other acts of treason, he left the Kingdom of England with the heirs of the Marquis of Roosevelt for other things, which was also regarded as treason by the Kingdom of England, for which the Royal Academy revoked Sir Roland's lifetime degree, and the royal family also stripped him of his noble status.

Now that Sir Roland has left the Kingdom of England, Leo's original plan has naturally failed, and what makes Leo feel a little annoyed is that he is also passively involved in the spy case, and in two days, three groups of people came to the apartment to inquire, as if Leo was a potential suspect.

The reason why Leo will be involved is because Leo had bought the factory of the Marquis Roosevelt family at a very low price, and those investigators saw that the current factory was starting to improve, and it was profitable, and it also had the potential to develop into a large factory, and completely forgot that the state of these factories when Leo took over was about to go out of business. Therefore, it is believed that those factories are high-quality industries and should not be sold at such a low price by the Marquis Roosevelt's family, and there must be some ulterior secrets in them.

The biggest problem is that the investigators know from the servants of the Marquis Mansion that Leo had secretly met with the Marquis Roosevelt's heir and Sir Roland at the banquet held before the Marquis Roosevelt's heir left, and the next day the Marquis Roosevelt's heir and Sir Roland left Port Set.

This makes anyone who sees this information involuntarily have a greasy relationship between Leo and Marquis Roosevelt and Sir Roland, so Leo, who had been separated from the theft of warehouse items, was targeted by the investigators of the spy case, if it weren't for Nelson Matthew and his wife's efforts to ensure Leo's loyalty, and there were also rumors in the royal family to protect Leo, maybe a large number of secret police would have rushed to the apartment to arrest Leo.

Faced with this situation, Leo was also a little crying and laughing, although it felt like a disaster, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the source of this matter is still on him, and in a certain way, it can be regarded as self-inflicted.

Originally, when Leo thought that the contact with Sir Roland might be severed, the parcel sent by a newsboy in the morning made Leo feel that things seemed to be turning a circle, because this parcel was sent by Sir Roland, and the package contained only a notebook, which recorded a large number of words in an unknown language that was out of order, and there were two pieces of paper mixed in the package. One of the scraps of paper had the address of the Kingdom of America, which was supposed to be where Sir Roland now lived, while the other had the address of Port Set and a jumbled string of text.

Leo has already visited the entire Port of Sette during this time, and with the help of the Spirit Network, he has already constructed a complete map of Port Set in his mind, so after he sees the address, he almost does not need to look up through any map, and he can easily find out the location of the address and know the situation inside.

And when he determined the location written on the piece of paper, he was a little surprised, because the address turned out to be the national bank of the Kingdom of England.

"Bank safe?" Leo thought for a moment, quickly understanding the meaning of the confusing text.

The Kingdom of England was one of the first countries in the world to build a bank in Veron, and through the convenience of its maritime overlordship, its banking network expanded to all parts of the world, almost every country has the shadow of the National Bank of the Kingdom of England, and the storage of valuables has become an important business of the National Bank.

Leo put the note pointing to the National Bank on the table, reached out and picked up the notebook, and studied it carefully, it was obvious that what Sir Roland had stored in the National Bank had been used by him as a reward for letting Leo translate the language in the notes, anyway, in Sir Roland's current situation, it was impossible for him to take anything from the National Bank, it was better to give these things to someone else.

Leo was not too curious about what Sir Roland had stored in the National Bank, because in the current situation, it was probably impossible for him to take anything from the bank, because the account of Sir Roland in the National Bank must have been monitored, and he went to get the things, just in time for the investigators of the spy case to confirm their previous suspicions.

If Leo was just a person, he wouldn't have any worries, he would be fine if he left the Kingdom of England directly and went to any country, but because the Nelson vouched for him, if something went wrong with him, then he would definitely be involved with Nelson and Nightingale, which he didn't want to see, so he wouldn't take Sir Roland's things in the bank in a short time.

For Leo now, the contents of Sir Roland's notebook were more of interest to him, and no matter how you look at them, they should be some of the problems that Sir Roland has encountered in his research.

Although Sir Roland must have disrupted all the texts and languages he studied and made them fragmented in order to keep the content of his research secret, he could not be absolutely fragmented, and would always rearrange them according to the rules of phrases and sentences, otherwise no matter how much Leo knew about ancient languages, it would be absolutely impossible to sort out the completely fragmented words and restore them into readable sentences.
