Located in the north-central part of the Bodo region, close to the Black Forest, the city of Cabo has nothing to offer and is not suitable for growing winemaking crops such as grapes.

It's just that the trees here grow taller than other places because of their proximity to the Black Forest, but there are many towns with this kind of environment in the Porto region and even around the entire Black Forest, and they are not of much value.

The reason why the city of Kabu was later included in the list of urban development by the United Kingdom of France, and why it was established as an important station in the domestic railway network, was mainly because of its proximity to the front line, and after coming out of the valley where the city of Kabu was located, there was a flat mountain road that was very suitable for the construction of the railway, which meandered through the mountains of Rosro in the north-central and northeastern parts of Porta, and it was much easier and less expensive to build a railway to the front line here than in other places.

It was also because of this railway that in the years following the establishment of the United Kingdom of France, the city of Kabu developed from a very ordinary mountain town to a medium-sized city, where nearly 40 percent of the United Kingdom's war materials would be concentrated and then sent to various parts of the front.

It's just that although Kabu City has achieved extraordinary rapid development because of this war railway, it has also lost its former peace because of this railway.

The development of the emerging city is naturally indispensable to all kinds of businessmen and some underworld forces that follow the businessmen, and these underworld forces are naturally indispensable to fight and fight in order to expand their territory and interests, and the resulting public security problems have become a deep headache for the city managers of Kabu City.

However, this is not the most headache for the city administrators, and the spies from the Empire are the main reason for their panic.

As an important transit point for the military supplies of the United Kingdom of France, it is also the focus of the work of the spies of the empire and the kingdom, from the management of the city of Kabu under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom, and the officials have been appointed by the council, none of the officials of the city of Kabu can complete their terms in peace, they will all be bought by the spies of the empire for various unknown reasons and become traitors.

Therefore, there is also a rumor with a similar joke in the United Kingdom of France, that is, no matter who you are and what position you are in, as long as you can serve a full term in Kabu City and be transferred safely, then this person is definitely the most loyal kingdom man in the world.

It is precisely because of the large number of spies sent by the empire that the intelligence department led by Sylvia also sent corresponding spies to start a series of open and secret battles with the imperial spies hidden here.

When Leo and Sylvia arrived in Kabu City, she did not go directly to the secret office where her department was located, but disguised herself as an ordinary traveler couple with Leo, and stationed in the most luxurious hotel in the city, then freshened up, changed into a costume that was recently fashionable in the United Kingdom, and asked the hotel to find the nearest newspaper and read it.

"An armistice has already been signed, so soon?" picked up the top of the newspaper delivered from the hotel, and before she could take a closer look, Sylvia was attracted by the headline on the front page of the paper.

"Did you know in advance that the United Kingdom was going to sign an armistice with the Empire?" asked Leo, teasing the child in his arms.

"Of course, it's no secret at the top of the United Kingdom. Sylvia nodded and said: "Those businessmen hope to stabilize the situation and make money, they don't want to continue fighting, they have found a lot of lobbyists, Prime Minister Rupert and the king also feel that continuing to fight will only be meaningless waste, so they have always hoped to negotiate peace with the Empire, but the Empire has never let go and has no intention of making peace." I didn't expect that the terms of peace talks were reached so quickly and an armistice agreement was signed. ”

Leo picked up a newspaper from a different newspaper, looked at it, and said, "It's fast enough, it's been less than a month since we entered the Black Forest." ”

"What??" Sylvia was stunned, and at Leo's motion, she looked at the time of the newspaper, and then she realized that the time in the newspaper was different from what she thought was the time.

The time in the newspaper was only twenty-three days after their entry into the Black Forest, and it had been at least eleven months since she and Leo had entered the Black Forest.

It's just that the asymmetry of time didn't surprise Sylvia for too long, because she had experience in the witcher world, she was already familiar with things like different worlds and different time flows, and she was still surprised by the short time it took to sign this truce, which made her a little surprised.

According to her experience, even if the imperial side also considers a truce with the United Kingdom, it should still be in the negotiation and testing stage, and it will take at least half a year to completely sign an armistice agreement, like now, more than 20 days ago, you fought to the death, and another country vowed not to give up, but more than 20 days later, an armistice was signed, which has never happened in the past large and small wars in the world of Velon, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel extremely abnormal.

"It should be related to the loss of the contract ring, the big mutation in the Northland, and so on. Leo quickly glanced at the newspaper in his hand and made a simple inference.

"Does the Contract Ring affect them that much?" Sylvia frowned.

Leo thought for a moment and said: "It should have a big impact, most of the experiments we saw in the Seventh Research Institute should need to use some special products of the Black Forest, and now that we have lost the contract ring, the Imperial Officials can no longer safely get those special products from the Black Forest, which will obviously stop all the experiments they have at hand, or even invalidate." The industry of the French Empire is far from being comparable to that of the United Kingdom, they should have gambled on the trials that can make ordinary people have extraordinary powers, and now there is a problem with the raw materials required for those experiments, and they have begun to lose the upper hand in this war, if they do not take advantage of the fact that the war between the two sides is still in a draw stage, and reach an armistice agreement with the United Kingdom, if it drags on for a while, it is not a question of whether they want a truce, but whether the United Kingdom wants a truce. ”

Listening to Leo's analysis, Sylvia also nodded, but she didn't think Leo's analysis was completely correct, the empire's idea may be the same as Leo's analysis, but the United Kingdom's idea Leo was wrong, but this mistake was mainly because Leo didn't have detailed information, so he would make a wrong judgment.

In Sylvia's view, the Reich was indeed anxious to sign an armistice with the United Kingdom, so as not to lose enough bargaining chips when it fell into disadvantage, but the United Kingdom also wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so it kept trying to negotiate with the Reich, mainly because the United Kingdom was already heavily indebted because of the French Civil War.

The reason why the United Kingdom has not yet declared the government bankrupt is mainly because Rupert Fitz's charisma supports the fragile finances of the entire United Kingdom, and the merchants of the Kingdom are immersed in the dream of a merchant kingdom that he has created, and are willing to lend money to the Kingdom to support the Kingdom's huge military spending.

If there had not been such a thing as a mutation in the world and the sea closed by the gray fog, the United Kingdom might still have been able to rely on maritime trade with other countries to barely maintain the United Kingdom's expenses, but now because of the gray fog closing the sea, the maritime trade has been cut off, and it is not only the Royal Government that is affected, but even those merchants who rely on the sea for foreign trade have also been affected, and these merchants are the biggest supporters and creditors of the United Kingdom.

It is unclear whether the United Kingdom will emerge victorious if the war continues, so the armistice in the newspapers is also crucial for the United Kingdom.

Now that the armistice had been signed, Sylvia had no way to continue to exert influence and profit for herself in the matter of another armistice, so she quickly put the armistice aside and began to flip through the rest of the newspaper to find something that interested her.

"What are your plans?" asked Leo as he lost interest in these things after only flipping through a few newspapers, teasing little Tolan.

Sylvia hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't want me to go with you to the Kingdom of England, do you?"

"Of course not," Leo shook his head and said, "Now that the gray fog on the sea is so thick, it is still unknown whether I will be able to pass through, and even if I return to the Kingdom of Inge, I will not stay for long, and after packing up the property there, I will go to the Moisan Continent, I want to ask you......"

"Forget it! I won't go to the Moissanite continent. Before Leo could finish speaking, Sylvia shook her head and said, "If Tolan hadn't been born yet, I'd be willing to go with you to the wastelands of Moissan, but now that Tolan has been born, we can't leave Tolan here and leave it to someone else to raise! ”

After Leo heard this, he didn't say anything, and swallowed what he wanted to say later, in fact, his original intention was to bring Tolan to the Kingdom of Inge, and now Sylvia's attitude is obviously to let Tolan grow up in Fran, and with Sylvia's character, he will not change his mind in this matter, so he didn't say more unnecessary words, affecting the relationship between the two.

After a while, little Tolan may have been tired of playing, and fell asleep in Leo's arms, Leo put him in the cradle he bought from the hotel, and then he closed his eyes in the training simulation field he had built in his mind, performed psionic training, and scanned the hotel through the spirit net, and tried some of his newfound skills in using the spirit net.

Prior to this, Leo had only used the Psychic Net as a remote sensing reconnaissance tool, but he had discovered from the psionic inheritance that he had obtained that the Psychic Net was used in far more ways than he had expected, and that the role of the Psychic Net was also greater in the entire psionic system, and it was not unreasonable that the Psychic Net skill would become a concentrated basic skill that psionics must learn.

The skill that Leo is practicing now is called the Realm of Control, and the function of this technique is to use the psionic waves of the Psychic Network to create a psionic realm, which is like the divine realm of the Black Forest, and the maker will become the absolute master of this realm, as described in the inheritance he has obtained.

At this moment, Leo's spiritual network naturally can't form such a realm, he can only create a pseudo-realm, and use some skills to control some things in the pseudo-realm, for example, if he wants to open the doors of all the rooms in the spiritual net realm, he only needs to move a thought, and now his ability can only do this.

However, Leo believes that with the increase of his psionic level and the mastery of the skills of using the spirit network, he will definitely be able to achieve the final effect that the spirit network should be able to achieve in the data.

While Leo was training the ability to use the spirit network, he also discovered some interesting things through the spirit network, and asked Sylvia, who had read most of the newspapers, "You should not only choose to stay in this hotel because this hotel is the most luxurious hotel in the city, right?"

"Why do you ask?" said Sylvia, puzzled.

"Because I found out that this hotel seems to be the spy headquarters of the French Empire. Leo told Sylvia about his discovery.

"Did you find out?" Sylvia immediately put down the newspaper in her hand, came to Leo's side, and said: "I have always suspected that this is the spy headquarters of the French Empire in Kabu City, but the owner of this hotel has a very good relationship with the upper echelons of the United Kingdom, and my people can't find any evidence, so they are only suspicious here, and now it seems that my suspicion is indeed correct." ”

"No, you're mistaken!" Leo interrupted Sylvia, and when the other party showed a blank look, he emphasized in an accentuated tone, "I'm not talking about the spy headquarters in Kabu City, but the spy headquarters of the entire United Kingdom. ”

Sylvia didn't understand the difference between the two at first, but soon realized what Leo meant, and her face showed ecstasy, and said, "National, it turned out to be national, it seems that I caught a big fish this time!"

Sylvia excitedly walked back and forth in the room a few times, the expression on her face becoming more and more calm, and soon stopped, a contemplative look on her face.

It was very important for Sylvia to determine that this hotel was the spy headquarters of the French Empire in the United Kingdom, and Sylvia's main opponents over the years were the spies of the French Empire, and now she found the spy headquarters of the Empire, and she used the disguise of the Faceless to stay here secretly without attracting the attention of the hotel.

That way, she's completely in the shadows, and she's strong enough to take out this opponent, and the only thing she needs to think about now is to make a lot of trouble about it.

Now that the Imperial side and the Kingdom side have signed an armistice agreement, if she makes a big fuss about the imperial spies, I am afraid it will affect the armistice agreement, and there are several powerful people in the royal government in the umbrella of this hotel, if the big trouble will inevitably drag these big people into the water, she does not think that those big people will collude with spies and betray the kingdom, but I don't think that others will think like this, in that case, it will also have a bad impact on the stability of the United Kingdom.
