Leo walked over to the altar and crouched down to examine it.

Unlike the altars of other churches, the altar of the Lady of Grace is very small and simple, consisting of a stone platform behind which is an elaborately carved recumbent cat, surrounded by a circle of finches and vines to form a small flower garden.

In the wizard's notes, it is recorded that the finch vine is a magical plant, the flower can be used to refine medicine, the thorns can make poison, and with the increase of the growth period of the finch vine, a magic field conducive to the cultivation of the wizard will be formed around the finch vine, so in the past, this kind of magic plant would be planted outside the wizard's wizard tower.

When Leo crouched down to inspect the altar, he could feel a faint spiritual energy fluctuation around him, and he could see that the finch vine did have the effect of improving the spiritual energy environment.

In addition, according to the plant knowledge that Leo had learned from medical texts, he found that the finch vine in front of him had grown for at least a hundred years, and considering the environment of the previous port of Venaya, it was not difficult to guess that this finch vine was not newly planted, but transplanted.

This discovery also made Leo realize that the elegant lady who arranged the altar must have a very good ability to transplant plants, because the botanical department of the medical school has not found the right way to successfully transplant the finch vine. The fact that the finch vine with obvious transplant characteristics in front of me was seen by the people of the medical school would definitely cause a series of sensational reactions.

Leo could see from the neat environment around the altar and the carefully trimmed finch-trimming vines that the person who built the altar was very careful, and this care and carefulness also revealed a kind of pious faith, so it can almost be judged that the person who built the altar must be a devout disciple of Lady Grace, and should also be the top of the Lady Grace Church, and maybe even the level of the chief priest.

Leo suddenly stretched out his hand and drew a symbol on the altar that looked like an eye, which Leo had learned from the knowledge of the webweaver, and its function was to check whether any altar of the gods had been sacrificed within ten days. This kind of sacrifice is not a simple sacrifice that is placed casually and then prayed, but a real sacrifice, and the sacrifice must be a priest of the church with spiritual powers, and after the sacrifice ceremony, the sacrifice must also be consumed by the gods, otherwise it is not a formal sacrifice.

Just as Leo finished drawing the symbol and injected spiritual energy into it according to the method he had learned, the symbol immediately flashed with white light, and then Leo seemed to hear a cat's meow in his ears. Although the voice didn't sound intimidating, Leo felt an inexplicable pressure, not from the body, but from the gap in mental level.

It's just that this pressure didn't have much impact on him because of Leo's super willpower, and it didn't even affect his physical movements.

These discoveries provided Leo with a lot of useful information. For example, Lady Grace does still exist, just like the Lord of the Sky, but his condition does not seem to be good, he is in a state of only spirit and no body, otherwise, it would not just bring mental pressure to Leo.

In addition, Lady Grace's psionic level does not exceed level nine, perhaps only about level eight, which is comparable to the True Eye. Because if Lady Grace had evolved into an omega-level advanced creature, even if she had no physical body and only a spirit, it would be enough to suppress Leo in all directions, and she would never be as easily freed from the pressure of the cat's meow as the will of Leo's ninth-level psionic power.

Another discovery was the original meaning of the symbols drawn on the altar of Leozi, which had been sacrificed once in ten days, and then in that sacrifice Lady Grace herself came and partook of the sacrifice.

Having the answer he wanted, Leo decided to make a trip to the apartment next to him and find the lady of grace's high priesthood.

It's just that when he stood up and was about to turn around, his body movement stopped, his face showed a little surprise, and then he looked around.

I don't know when there were hundreds of cats gathered in this small garden, they were either squatting, or lying down, either standing on the fence or crawling on the branches, in short, no matter what posture they were doing now, they all stared at Leo with those cat's eyes.

Being stared at by so many pairs of cat eyes, ordinary people will definitely feel uncomfortable, but Leo did not feel any discomfort, but glanced at the group of cats, and finally landed on an orange cat that was lazily crawling on the garden wooden chair in advance, and then walked over, looked down at the orange cat and said, "Your Excellency, don't you come out to meet me?"

The orange cat had a humane look of surprise on its face, obviously surprised that Leo was able to find himself out of the pack so easily, and then it let out a cat meow, and all the cats around him scattered as if they had heard the command, and soon only Leo and the orange cat were left in the garden.

"There's no need to meet, it's good for each other to talk like this. The orange cat licked the cat's paws and said to Leo: "A strong man who has never seen before suddenly came to my lord's altar, and stimulated the power left in the altar of my lord, and I am not allowed to be careless, after all, there are still many enemies in this world." ”

"Leo Dodd, a traveler. Leo introduced himself.

"Doris Vale, owner of the little garden. At this moment, a soft woman's voice came from the entrance to the garden in the direction of the apartment building, and then I saw a graceful woman with a shawl on her body walking into the garden, coming to Leo's side, picking up the orange cat, sitting on a chair, and then putting the orange cat on her lap and gently stroking it.

Just like the Elegant Lady, the believers of the Elegant Lady Church will always maintain their elegant posture, and it is this posture that makes many noble ladies choose to believe in the Elegant Lady, so that the Elegant Lady's church will spread in the aristocratic circle.

Leo stared at the other party, not fascinated by the other party's posture, still with a cold face, and asked bluntly: "Just twenty minutes ago, someone carried out a robbery in the antique shop of the Holy Blood Society, and snatched three skull bowls, these three skull bowls are exactly what I want to buy, and I don't want to lose these three skull bowls. ”

"My lord, what does this matter have to do with me?" Although Doris Vier still maintained her elegant posture, she could already faintly feel Leo's strength, and her tone involuntarily lowered a lot, and she took the initiative to put herself on the weak side in terms of title.

Leo said in a deep voice: "I saw a cat pendant on one of the antique shop customers, and after the accident, the pendant disappeared, and the antique shop customer didn't know that he had such a pendant on him from beginning to end. ”

Doris Vale immediately had an ugly look on her face, it was clear that she knew who the cat god avatar belonged to, and she also knew what the consequences would be for provoking the Holy Blood Order in Venaya Harbor.

"That's not what I did. Doris Vale instinctively cleared.

"I know you didn't do it. Leo could tell that the other man was not lying, and then said, "But surely you know who did it?"

Doris didn't hesitate or think, and said directly: "I don't know who that person is, I just know that he came to Venaya City two months ago, although he is also a believer in Lady Grace, but he believes not in the way of elegance, but the way of thieves, and has nothing to do with me." More than a month ago, when he was stealing a nobleman's treasure, he was accidentally met by me, but we didn't have any communication, just a tacit understanding of not interfering with each other. ”

Leo pondered for a moment, then asked, "The cats in the entire Venaya Harbor are your eyes and ears, you should know the location of this person, right?"

Doris shook her head and said, "Lady Grace's way of thieves is the best at hiding, even I don't know where he is," she said after another pause, and continued, "The only thing I know for sure is that he must be a nobleman, and a nobleman of the French Empire. ”

Leo asked, "Why are you so sure? Haven't you been in contact with him?"

"Although I have not been in contact with him, my cat has seen him steal things, and I can tell from his actions that he has received very orthodox knightly training, and in the entire Velonian world, only the French Empire will stipulate that nobles must receive formal knightly training. Doris explained, as if worried that Leo would not believe her words, so she added, "Just like I see you now, even if you don't tell me, I know that you are a warrior, and a warrior who has been through countless battles, and you don't need to look closely, just smelling it can smell a lot of blood." ”

Hearing this, Leo did not question Doris's words, stood up and prepared to leave, but when he reached the exit of the garden, he suddenly stopped again, turned to Doris, and asked, "Do you know why he stole the skull bowl?"

"I don't know. Doris shook her head, looking helpless.

Seeing this, Leo did not ask any further questions, and walked out of the garden, and the figure quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

After Leo left, Doris, who had always maintained her graceful state just now, finally gasped for breath regardless of her posture, and it took a while to recover from her nervous mood, and her wheezing voice gradually subsided.

"Damn, I already knew that guy would cause trouble for me, but I didn't expect to provoke such a powerful person, his strength is probably similar to that of the Raven of the Holy Blood Society, I'm afraid I'm in trouble this time. Doris's face was gloomy, and after a little thought, she immediately stood up, returned to the apartment building, pushed away the guests who were about to come forward to talk to her, and walked directly to the attic office on the top floor, and then pulled a few ropes in the office.

After a while, someone knocked on the door outside the office, and as Doris said in, she saw seven people in different clothes walking in from outside. Among the seven were merchants, nobles, porters, policemen, and a child with a cap.

"The glory of grace shines forever on you, dear lady. After entering, several people took off their hats in unison and praised in a voice that was not very neat.

"The glory of elegance never goes out. Doris also made a religious gesture on behalf of the elegant lady, and then she asked the seven people in front of her very seriously, "There is something I need to ask you, and you must answer honestly, because this matter is related to whether our church will conflict with the Holy Blood." ”

Hearing Doris's words, several people showed puzzled expressions on their faces, but at the same time, they also said that they would answer the questions honestly.

Doris looked at her men and asked in a deep voice, "Have any of you sold information about Old Bill's antique shop to strangers during this time?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, only the child with the peaked cap turned very ugly, stepped forward, and said, "Ma'am, I sold a copy of the old Bill's antique shop. ”

"Sold to?" asked Doris, looking at the child with a gloomy face.

"Brother Nick Jr. The child replied immediately.

"Ahh

"What's going on?" asked Doris, turning to the young man.

The young man looked at Doris nervously, and said cautiously: "Yesterday, my subordinates received an order, and someone paid 5,000 Venaya coins to kill the little Nick brothers. ”

"You shouldn't have done it already, right?" The man dressed as a nobleman on the side seemed to be very concerned about the young man's situation, but there was some schadenfreude in his eyes.

The young man glared at his colleague, then bowed his head to Doris and said, "Just an hour ago, I personally sank Brother Nick into the sea. ”

"Damn!" Doris cursed aloud, not caring for her disgrace in front of her men.

At this time, Doris knew very well that she had been framed, and now she had been completely connected to this matter, the information was sold from her, and the person who sold the information was also killed by her, even if she told the people of the Holy Blood Society that she did not rob the antique store of the Holy Blood Society, I am afraid it would not be clear to explain.

After her exasperation, she thought for a quick time, and instructed her men, "Now you immediately gather men to monitor the noble districts of the Fran Empire," and then said to the child and the young man, "You two will go to the Holy Blood Society with me now, hoping to explain it clearly." ”

"Madam, may I ask what happened?" asked the eldest merchant among the seven.

Doris didn't hide it, and told everyone what Leo said, and everyone couldn't help but gasp after hearing it, and they all realized the seriousness of the problem. Although the Holy Blood Society has no reputation elsewhere, it is a well-deserved underground overlord in Venaya Harbor, and now that someone has robbed their antique shop, and it is still in the underground city under the control of the Holy Blood Society's headquarters, this is simply a slap in the face of the Holy Blood Society, and those of them who are indirectly involved in this robbery will definitely suffer first.

Thinking of this, everyone quickly walked out of the office and began to monitor the aristocratic district of the French Empire according to Doris's instructions.
