Hearing Bailu's rhetorical question, Leo couldn't help but be stunned, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face, as if he was analyzing the connotation of Bailu's words.

After learning that Louis X had signed a sacrificial contract with the Black Forest to sacrifice the seven mountains to the Black Forest as hunting grounds, Leo directly decided that Louis X was forced to do it, and that the Black Forest wanted to expand his influence to other places.

But now from the mouth of the white deer, Leo heard another version, everything was requested by Louis X on his own initiative, so the signing of the sacrificial contract is worth scrutinizing.

Why did Louis X offer to sacrifice the seven mountains to the Black Forest? What are the benefits of doing so? Two questions came to Leo's mind at this moment.

Allowing the army to pass through the Black Forest smoothly in order to achieve the goal of attacking the city of Miria, destroying the United Kingdom, and reuniting the French Empire, this benefit seems to be in line with the terms of the contract, but if you think about it, you can feel that there is something wrong with it.

Because of the various actions after the French Empire marched into the West France continent, it can be felt that the purpose of the French Empire's march into West France was not to destroy the United Kingdom at all, otherwise, the French Empire should have used various methods to continuously attack the defense line of the Debia Mountains, and even considered gathering a fleet in Port León to bypass the Debia Mountains from the sea.

But it has been almost half a year since the army of the French Empire entered Miria City, and what they have done is more to clear out the United Kingdom forces in Miria City, and block the United Kingdom's army on the south side of the Dibia Mountains, without the slightest move to increase the number of troops south. It can be seen from this that this surprise attack of the French Empire was not aimed at the United Kingdom at all.

Since there was no intention to destroy the United Kingdom and unify the original territory of the French Empire, then Louis X's offer of seven mountains as a condition of the sacrificial contract would definitely not be to allow the army to pass through the Black Forest smoothly, this benefit was only incidental, and there should be other benefits that made Louis X more excited.

At this time, Leo carefully recalled all his experiences after returning to Veron, and Bailu on the side saw that Leo was thinking about things, so he didn't bother, but turned to pay attention to the movement over the refugee camp.

Although he was full of confidence in front of Leo just now, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart, after all, the dark god was so powerful in the past, even the golden giant deer did not have enough power to suppress the other party. Whether the hands that such a powerful being arranged for his resurrection will be destroyed by Him, he has no idea in his heart. So at this moment he was ready, and if something didn't go right, he would risk using some power that shouldn't be used to deal with the dark god once and for all.

An invisible wave of psionic energy came out of the black shadows like a cry of pain emitted by psionic energy, and a smile appeared on Bailu's face, and Leo was awakened from his contemplation by this roar of psionic energy that ordinary people could not hear.

At the same time, some of the Black Forest clans and monsters on the periphery, who were controlled by the divine clan, rushed towards the camp like crazy, ignoring the traps set by Leo, as if they had received the order to charge.

It's a pity that Leo's trap circle has been repaired and has become more perfect, if he tentatively infiltrates from one direction step by step, he may still have a chance to rush through the trap circle, but now he is irrationally attacking from all directions of the trap circle at the same time, and in the end only one corpse and a large number of crazy monsters controlled by the riot rune are left.

When half of Leo's attention was still on the problem in his mind, and the other half of his attention fell on the monsters at the bottom of the Black Forest, as if inspired by some kind of inspiration, a guess immediately appeared in his mind that the real benefit of Louis X's contract was actually the seven mountains.

Although it seems that Louis X betrayed the seven mountains and ceded them to the Black Forest from the sacrificial contract, in fact the control of these mountains is still in the hands of Louis X, and these mountains are the hunting grounds of the Black Forest clans and monsters, but in other words, they are not the hunting grounds of Louis X.

Most of the industry of the French Empire was in West France, which was centered on Ceylon, that is, the area controlled by the United Kingdom, and when Philip declared the independence of the United Kingdom, the industry of the French Empire could be said to have completely collapsed.

Without industrial support, no machinery can operate, let alone Louis X's floating airship with extreme steam mechanical technology, even ordinary steam repeaters, or even ordinary cold weapons, it is very difficult to manufacture them in large quantities.

Although the previous inventory was still able to support the French Empire for a while, this period of time was certainly not long, and five or six years was almost to the extreme. This may be why after the United Kingdom declared independence, there were only a few regional skirmishes with the French Empire, and there was never a single large-scale clan war.

Obviously, the collapsed industrial base of the French Empire is no longer able to support a large-scale war, and the United Kingdom has seen this, and should be ready to wait for the French Empire to fall to the bottom, and then take action to completely wipe out the French Empire.

The leaders of both sides obviously saw this, but one with a strong capital chose to wait, while the other was already cornered and chose to change. In this way, it is reasonable that the Fran Empire will study artificial clans, will work closely with some underworld forces to study various extraordinary powers, and will study forbidden medical techniques with some doctors of the mad school of the medical school, because these methods can undoubtedly increase the strength of the Fran Empire by several times, or even dozens of times, in a short period of time.

However, to perfect and implement these methods involving supernatural powers, it takes a lot of experiments, corresponding to a huge amount of experimental materials, and the creation of artificial clans also requires some organs and high-energy substances of real clan and even mythical creatures, so the contract signed between Louis X and the Black Forest is extremely crucial.

Now that the seven mountains have been turned into hunting grounds, the monsters and clans of the Black Forest will naturally be able to enter these mountains to hunt for prey, and these hunters will also be treated as prey, and their valuable parts will be harvested, just as Leo had done before.

In this way, the benefits that only the Western Continent region, which is a hunting ground in the Dibia Mountains, can obtain from it are definitely far from being compared with the Fran Empire in the Eastern Continent, and with the support of a steady stream of experimental materials, the Fran Empire will soon be able to establish a clan army composed entirely of supernatural forces.

Such a family force with various psionic talents may not be able to defeat ordinary armies with a large number of firearms and weapons on a frontal battlefield, but if such a force gives up all the bottom line, sneaks into the rear, and engages in assassination, sabotage, etc., then it will definitely be able to cause heart-wrenching damage to the United Kingdom.

One takes the industrial route to strengthen the people and the army, and the other takes the mysterious route to strengthen the strong man, and Leo is not very clear who will become the founder of the New Fran Empire in the end.

It's just that, after figuring out the reason why the French Empire signed the contract, Leo couldn't help but wonder what benefits the Black Forest would get in this, just to let the Black Forest clans and monsters enter the Seven Mountain Ranges? Leo didn't think that the Black Forest would take a fancy to this, the Black Forest must have other purposes.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but turn his head to look at the white deer beside him, it was obvious that the white deer who had mastered all the contracts in the Black Forest must know what the purpose of the Black Forest signing this contract was, but he didn't want to ask, because he felt that he knew too much, too well might not be a good thing.

"Mortal, have you figured out the question in your heart?" Bailu felt Leo's gaze, turned his head to look at Leo, and said.

"I did figure out a lot of things. Leo nodded, but added, "But the more things you want to understand, the more questions you have in your mind." ”

Bailu lowered his head and leaned in front of Leo and said, "Do you need me to help you answer?"

Leo shook his head, truthfully said what was in his heart, and said, "No, I don't want to know too clearly, there are some things that are not necessarily a good thing." ”

Leo's words made Bailu feel a little surprised, and he also looked at Leo with a little appreciation, and said: "There are fewer and fewer people like you who can see yourself and the situation clearly, although it is a little boring, but you can also live longer." ”

At this moment, another desperate psionic roar came from the black shadow, and then I saw a cyan fluorescent light emerge from the black shadow, completely tearing the black shadow and falling into the camp of the refugees.

At the same time, the shadow of the stars outside the black shadow also instantly wrapped the black shadow, burrowing into it from the irreparable rift, and quickly penetrating.

Desperate psionic energy continued to come out, and it became weaker and weaker, and the surrounding Black Forest clans and monsters who were still attacking the trap defense circle all stopped their crazy actions, and then fled to the Debia Wonderland, ignoring the black shadow's cry of psionic energy for help.

As the last of the utter roars came out, the pure black shadow was completely replaced by the shadow of the stars. However, when the last black shadow disappeared, a small psionic storm formed there, and created a small black hole, which slammed the shadows of the surrounding stars into a gap, and drilled a black shadow out of the gap, and flew out quickly into the distance.

However, the white deer, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his head, and the antlers on his head instantly burst into a strong light, and he was about to shine towards the black shadow that was fleeing into the distance, but an unexpected sight made him stop casting the prepared spell.

I saw that the black shadow that was originally far away seemed to be attracted by some invisible force, turned a corner in the air, and flew towards Leo and them quickly, like moths fighting fire, but when they were about to hit the white deer, they circled in the air and directly hit Leo who was blocked by the huge body of the white deer.

Leo, who didn't have time to defend at all, could only watch as the black shadow burrowed into his body, and then he only felt a strong will trying to attack his will. However, this will, which was already extremely powerful for ordinary people, was like stabbing a huge city wall with a spear that was hundreds of meters high and tens of meters thick, and it didn't have any effect at all.

Subsequently, Leo's gluttonous power automatically appeared, swept through his body, and an unprecedented feeling of fullness came from the chaotic stomach, and the various powers in his body also increased at this time, but the power of psionics, gluttony and nightmare only increased by a small part, but the power of the shadow that was created within a few days increased more than ten times, and instantly reached the bottom equivalent to the fourth-level psionic energy, and Leo felt that there seemed to be an additional power core in the power of the shadow, just like the energy source on the mecha.

Leo's attention at the moment was all focused on the changes in his body, and when he didn't realize that the power in his body had changed, some abnormal scenes appeared in his entire body, such as black shadows completely enveloping his body, allowing him to merge with the surrounding darkness, and anyone who saw him would unconsciously ignore it.

"Mortal, you are also a divine family of the God of Darkness?" This abnormal scene also fell into Bai Lu's eyes, seeing this scene, Bai Lu's eyes unabashedly revealed a strong killing intent, but this killing intent quickly receded, replaced by a look of doubt, and said to himself: "No, it's not that guy's divine family, but why did the last divine consciousness choose him? Where did the shadow power on his body come from? What secrets does he have that I haven't discovered?"

The strong curiosity made the white deer can't help but want to use some drastic means to find the secret inside Leo's body, but at this time, as if he heard something, a pair of deer ears that had always been drooping stood up, and turned his head to look in the direction of the Black Forest.

Then, he bowed his head somewhat reluctantly, then glanced at Leo with great regret, and then walked gracefully in the direction of the Black Forest, his body gradually disappearing and disappearing.

At this time, Leo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the twins in his hand changed from the sacrificial knife mode back to the fist mode, and several witchcraft formed by invoking the power of nightmares were also lifted again.

In fact, just as Bailu was talking to himself, Leo's attention had already shifted from the changes in his body to the outside, and he felt Bailu's curious and obviously malicious gaze for the first time.

The moment he felt the white deer's ill intentions towards him, Leo made a move to prepare to fight back, if the white deer did not retreat and leave last, he would use all the strength and means of his body to freeze the white deer's body for a second or two, and then use the sacrificial knife to sacrifice the white deer to the lord of turbidity and lightness, even if his actions would offend the one in the Black Forest.

The sudden departure of the white deer made Leo also feel a little surprised, although Leo did not open his eyes, but he was still able to perceive the movements of the white deer through the supernormal five senses, and now the analysis seems that the white deer was summoned back, and the existence that can summon the white deer, I am afraid that there is only one in the entire Black Forest.
