Chapter 663: Thinking Too Much

Leo took out another metal card to surprise the clergyman, because judging from Leo's performance just now, it was obvious that Leo was here for the first time to store items, but now he took out another card to retrieve things, which made the clergy have some doubts in their hearts.

It is not uncommon to kill the cardholder and then take the metal card to the Church of the Lord of All Things to pick up things, so the skeptical clergy quietly asked Leo to wait for a while, and then wrote down the identification number on the card, picked up the items that had been handled and left.

After a while, he walked in with a box about two feet long and wide, only this time he was not alone, and he was followed by the only church knight with divine energy fluctuations.

The knight of the church came in and stood in the doorway, saying nothing, and the clergyman, after putting things down, told Leo how to open them, and exited the room.

Looking at the cautious appearance of the clergy, Leo smiled, he didn't care about the church knight, directly took out the old puppeteer's metal card, inserted it into the box, and then imitated the old puppeteer's energy through the power of nightmares and injected it into the metal card.

The metal card quickly shone brightly, and then a click was heard and the box was opened.

Seeing that the box was opened smoothly, the church knight standing at the door was also stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the room, said a few words to the clergy outside the door, and then left.

Leo ignored the thoughts of the clergy outside the door, and after the box was opened, his attention was on it.

I saw that there were three things in the box very simply, the largest one was an unfinished wood carving, it seemed that it should be made by the old puppeteer himself, the carving was a woman, it can be seen that the carver has a deep affection for this woman, and every stroke is very careful with a knife.

Leo was slightly stunned when he saw this wood carving, the reason why he had such a reaction was not because he found that the wood used in this wood carving was the most expensive fragrant blood wood on the market in Velen today, nor because of the old puppeteer's exquisite carving and lifelike sculpture, but because this unfinished wood carving turned out to be a strange thing with energy fluctuations, and he couldn't find the reason why the wood carving was a strange thing.

If the fragrant blood wood used for wood carving is a high-energy substance, it would be fine, but this wood is just an ordinary precious wood, and there is no example of this wood mutating into a high-energy substance, if there is, then it is absolutely impossible for the major churches and underworld organizations to let this wood be sold among the people.

After repeatedly looking through and not finding any reason, Leo could only blame the reason for the transformation of this wood carving into a strange thing on the emotional investment of the old puppeteer when he carved this wood carving, and only the power of ideas generated by the continuous investment of pure emotions could create this kind of anomaly, which also has many precedents in Velon, but this kind of strong emotion reversing reality often does not have a good result in the end.

Although the wood carving has been transformed into a strange object, its role is unknown, and judging from the precedents of such a thing, such an object is not a good thing for any user, so Leo put the wood carving back in the box, with no intention of taking it away.

In addition to the wood carving, there are two boxes, one large and one small, Leo opened one of the boxes, and found that there were three hand-copied notebooks inside, and turned it over slightly, the content was nothing more than the puppeteer's set of abilities to use and improve.

Leo flipped it quickly, jotted down a few puppets that could be used for psionic energy, put the three notes back in the box, and picked up the last one.

"It's good that I didn't come in vain!" Leo smiled as he opened the box and saw the gems stuffed throughout the box.

With this gem, Leo doesn't have to worry about the money when he goes to the auction.

Leo put the gem in the storage space along with the box, then closed the lid again, sealed it with a metal card, and walked out with it to the clergy waiting outside.

"Please give the things to the heir according to what is written in the agreement. Leo said to the clergyman.

The clergyman frowned and said, "These things will only ...... if something happens to the card owner."

"Now the owner of the card has had an accident. Leo raised his hand to break the metal card and handed it to the stunned clergyman.

Looking at the broken metal card in front of him, the clergy didn't understand what was going on for a while, until Leo left the building and the figure disappeared from the doorway, he realized what it was, his face instantly became extremely ugly, and then carrying a robe that was somewhat inconvenient to walk, he quickly ran to an office upstairs, and knocked on the door quickly.

"Come in. A cold voice came from inside the door.

This voice made the person who heard it shiver as if the whole person was wrapped in cold, and the anxious mood also calmed down.

The clergy then straightened their clothes, pushed the door open, and walked in.

I saw that the office was very simple, with two filing cabinets on both sides, a table in the middle, and two chairs in front of the table, which were made of hardwood with pimples, which was very difficult to sit on.

Behind the desk, there was a thin old man with a gloomy face, he raised the fish bubble eye, glanced at the clergyman, his eyes fell on the storage box held by the other party, and he didn't let the clergy say anything, so he directly asked: "Don't you know the rules? Why did you bring the guest's storage box here? ”

The clergyman's face immediately became very ugly, and two points for him were equivalent to two years of excellent evaluation, which meant that he would definitely have to postpone his promotion for two years.

Although he really wanted to make boundaries for himself, when he thought of the old man in front of him, he knew that justifying would not be of any use, but would make things earlier, so he could only bow his head and acquiesce to the old man's punishment.

After the old man made the sentence, he seemed to have forgotten about the clergy, and continued his work, writing this on a document, and the clergy did not dare to move, but could only stand here quietly.

After a long while, the old man stopped writing, folded the papers, and put them in the briefcase beside him, and then asked the clergy, "What happened to make you come to me in such a hurry?"

The clergy immediately stepped forward, put the storage box in his hand on the table, and said, "Lord Bishop, I have found that our storage box may have a loophole, and holders of non-storage box cards also have a way to open the storage box, and they do not need to use the exchange ritual. ”

"What?" Hearing the clergyman's words, the old man's slightly narrowed fish bubble eyes immediately widened, and he said urgently, "Be specific." ”

So, the clergy carefully explained what had just happened to Leo.

After listening to the description, the old man was silent for a while before slowly confirming, "Are you sure that person is using the storage box for the first time?"

"Yes, I'm sure. The clergyman replied in the affirmative.

"Well, the news you provided is very important, and the follow-up investigation will be handed over to other departments!" The old man nodded, then pointed to the storage box on the table, and said: "Put this box in its place, and notify the heir on the form to take it according to the rules, and your reward will be issued in five days, and the two points deducted before will be reduced." ”

"Yes, sir. The clergyman's face showed joy, and he hurriedly picked up the box and prepared to leave.

"Wait. The old man suddenly stopped the clergyman again, and said very seriously: "If this matter is spread, it will have a great impact on the church, so I don't want to hear any rumors related to this outside, have you heard?"

"Yes, sir. The clergy hurriedly replied.

Then seeing that the old man had no other instructions, he quickly turned and left.

After the clergy left, the old man pondered for a moment, took out a blank piece of paper and quickly wrote something, then picked up the bell next to the table and shook it, strangely this bell did not make any sound when it swayed.

After a while, a dark figure emerged from the wall and stood beside the old man, who handed the paper to the black shadow and said, "You can send it to the Punishment Hall and the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

The shadow took the paper and re-entered the wall.

The old man did not continue to work, but leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and looked like he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and after a while, he said to himself with a puzzled face: "Who is it? Who is going to deal with me? Even if the cause of this incident has nothing to do with me, I, as the head of foreign affairs, will definitely be blamed, and in this case, they will have one less competitor." As he spoke, his face showed a little hideousness, and he said, "Since you have already made the first move, then don't blame me for not being merciful." ”

At the same time, Leo, who had left the Church of the Lord of Life and Death, had already arrived at a car dealership in the southern part of the city, hired a pack cart, and went to the border city of Dry Steel in Saville, he didn't know that his unintentional actions had caused a power struggle within the Church of the Lord of All Things, but even if he knew it, he wouldn't care in his heart, after all, if he was going to leave Savile now, it wouldn't matter how fierce the internal struggle within the Church of the Lord of Life and Death was.

"If you want to get dry steel, you can take two roads, one is the Hamad Road to the south, this road is a bit long and takes more than forty days, but this trade road is very safe, and the nine cities that pass through it will send rangers to patrol the section of the road they are responsible for, so there are almost no sand thieves on the way. After Leo hired a pack car, the owner of the pack car asked Leo to choose the route to take, and said: "The other road is much closer, that is, go directly to the west, go upstream along the Little Gus River, cross the Little Gus Desert, and cross the Quincy Snow Mountain from the Ancient Salt Railway, you can directly reach the dry steel city, and it will take you time before and after, if it goes well, it will only take five days at most." ”

Leo didn't think much about it, so he made a choice: "Let's choose the nearest one!"

"Wait, sir, don't rush to choose, I'm not done yet. Seeing that Leo made his choice so quickly, the packer immediately stopped and said: "Although the road to the west is much closer, it is also much more dangerous, you should know the Guth sand bandits, right? Although the Gus sand thieves are all active in the generation of the Great Gus Desert, the small Gus Desert is also their raiding area, and all the city-states in the west have made great efforts to completely eradicate the Gus sand bandits, but they have never been able to do so that the Gus sand bandits are still active in the Great and Small Gus Deserts. ”

"Of course, the people who are in power in your various city-states cannot be eradicated. Leo easily saw through this trick of the thief shouting to catch the thief, but he didn't say it, but said to the hired pack driver with a very indifferent expression: "You don't have to worry about the Gus sand thieves, they are easy to solve." ”

The driver of the pack car was stunned, and then added: "The Guss sand thieves are not the most dangerous, in fact, the most dangerous on this road is the Quincy Snow Mountain, have you heard the story of eating the man? That is what happened in the Quincy Snow Mountain." ”

"Man-eating fog?" Leo said with a slightly interested look, "Tell me more about it." ”

"You didn't know about it, so it's no wonder you were able to make a decision so quickly. The driver of the pack car looked at Leo with a surprised face, blaming Leo's arbitrary decision on ignorance, so he quickly introduced: "Actually, the man-eating fog on the Quincy Snow Mountain has been around for a long time, it has been thousands of years, but the frequency of occurrence in the past has not been very much, and it has not been hidden until the number of times it has appeared in recent years. If you are lucky, you will encounter a man-eating fog at the front of the road, as long as you don't get close to the past and wait for the fog to dissipate, there will be no danger, but sometimes the fog will appear directly around the person, and all those who fall into the fog will no longer be able to escape, and will disappear with the fog. Because the location of each fog is not fixed, and there is no pattern at all, whether you can safely complete this ancient salt railway is completely lucky, and if you are lucky, you can go out safely, and if you are unlucky, you will be un......lucky."

The owner of the packer did not say any more, and the meaning was already self-evident.

After listening to the introduction of the packer driver, Leo became more interested in this ancient salt and iron road, because the description of the packer owner of the man-eating fog reminded him of the dense fog he knew, so he didn't think too much about it, so he made a decision: "Let's take the ancient salt railway." ”

Seeing that Leo had made the same decision even after hearing the persuasion, the packer driver did not persuade him any further, so he said that it would be better to join the other caravans that took this route, which would be much safer, at least in the Little Guth Desert.

Leo had no objection to this, and then under the contact of the car dealership, Leo joined a caravan very smoothly, of course, he could not join in vain, in addition to paying a little extra protection money, he also had to use the pack cart he hired to carry some supplies for the caravan.
