Just when Leo and Sylvia were discussing arrogantly about creating a god, the lumberjack family on the other side became suspicious because of the loss of a few leaves. Every representative of the lumberjack family looked at the others.

All are full of suspicion and vigilance.

"There is a problem with this matter!" said an old representative of the lumberjack family: "First, the Vinolin family violated the sacred contract inexplicably and was punished. Now we go to take back the sacred contract of the Vinolin family, but the

I can't find it, even the leaves of the sacred tree are missing. I think someone is targeting our family."

The old man's words didn't cause any movement. Everyone just glanced at the old man, as if they were saying such nonsense and wanted you to say it. We all thought so.

The people in the room fell into silence again, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Finally, someone couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and said nonsense, saying: "Will the sacred deed of the Venolin family be taken away in advance?

That person happened to meet our team looking for the Holy Deed again, so he secretly took away the leaves of the Holy Tree."

The roll of eyes that had been directed at the old man before was transferred to this person this time. The atmosphere could not help but not ease, but instead became more awkward.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a bare head and a somewhat wretched look suddenly said: "The question is who is that person? An unknown outsider? Or someone among us?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone involuntarily lifted their spirits and looked at everyone around them with suspicion.

Although the person just now seemed to have given a multiple-choice question, in fact the choice did not exist at all. There was only one answer from beginning to end, and that was that someone around him was the one who took away the sacred contract and the leaves of the sacred tree.

Someone was dissatisfied and said to the person who raised the topic: "Patch, if you can't speak, shut up. Don't say unfounded things. This will only affect the unity of our families."

"Unity? Do you think there is still such a word as unity among our families?" Patch touched his bald head, smiled disdainfully, and said, "We all know very well that it is impossible for outsiders to take away the Holy Spirit.

The sacred deed can only be found in the area under the jurisdiction of the Venolin family. Since it has not been found, there is only one possibility, and that is that it was secretly taken away by a family among us. As for the leaves of the holy tree, they were also lost.

It’s so weird. It’s just lost like this. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Is it really lost, or is it hidden..."

"Patch, what do you mean?" The family representative of the people who lost the leaves of the sacred tree immediately refuted: "You want to say that we deliberately pretended that the leaves of the sacred tree were taken, but in fact we deliberately wanted to possess them.

Those leaves of the sacred tree?"

Patch shrugged and said, "I didn't say that. You said it yourself. Don't accuse me wrongly."

"You..." The family representatives were a little angry and speechless.

Seeing Patch's expression of fearing that the world would be in chaos, all the family representatives who were doing this frowned in unison, showing dissatisfaction, but they also did not refute Patch's speculation, because they had the same thoughts in their hearts.

Like Patch, the leaves were lost so strangely that it looked like he was making excuses.

In the crowd, a person with a certain prestige suddenly said: "Well, I believe that no one among us will embezzle the leaves of the holy tree. Although the leaves of the holy tree are very precious, they are not unique. New leaves are collected every year at the time.

Then, the old leaves will be distributed, and there is no need to risk breaking the rules and offending all the families by embezzling these leaves."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, agreeing with this statement.

However, this person only expressed the loss of Ye Zi and the five members of the family, but he did not say anything about the whereabouts of the more important Holy Deed, because like everyone else, he felt that the Holy Deed of the Venolin family was missing.

The deed should have fallen into the hands of one of their families.

The room fell into silence again.

Some people couldn't bear the silence and said: "Is the Holy Deed still in the area under the responsibility of the Venolin family? It has not been taken by anyone at all."

The people around looked at the man and said nothing, and the man smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth again.

"It's useless even if we sit here until we die. Obviously we can't find anything in a short time. I have other things to do and I don't have any extra time to waste here." After a while, someone stood up impatiently and said:

"You can investigate slowly and let me know when you find out the results."

After saying that, he ignored the looks of others, turned around and walked out of the room. Seeing that someone had already started talking, other people who couldn't stand the dead silence also stood up, found an excuse and left the room.

Seeing everyone leaving one after another, the faces of the representatives of the lumberjack family who were responsible for convening the meeting became extremely ugly. The reason why they were so concerned about this matter was because among the many lumberjack families, their family was the most likely to get Vino.

The Holy Deed of the Lin family is gone now. I don’t know when it will be until the next Holy Deed is available again, and even if there is a new unowned Holy Deed, it may not necessarily fall into their hands in the end.

When Patch was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said to the convener of memories: "I think instead of caring about the whereabouts of the Venolin family's sacred contract, you should pay more attention to your own family's affairs!"

"What do you mean?" The other party obviously didn't understand the meaning of Patch's words.

Patch sneered and reminded: "Your little son has not been very honest recently. He has been in contact with outsiders. Be careful. If the federal government finds out, you should be very clear about the consequences. Even with the protection of the Holy Deed,

, I’m afraid there’s no guarantee that your family can still exist.”

After hearing Patch's words, the face of the convener of the meeting became extremely ugly, and his anger also turned into an expression. He was not angry that Patch was spying on his family, but that his youngest son would be so bold. In this

Contacting outsiders during this period is simply putting the entire family on the fire rack. If you are not careful, it will be burned to ashes.

After Patch reminded him, he turned around and walked out of the room. As for whether the other party would take his reminder to heart and take some measures, that was not his concern. What he was more concerned about at the moment was the Venolin family.

In whose hands is the Holy Deed?

When they were in the house just now, everyone thought that a certain family in the house had obtained the sacred deed of the Venolin family in advance, and was unwilling to decide the final ownership through ancient rituals, but hid it themselves.

On the surface, Patch seems to have the same idea as everyone else, but in fact he does not think that anyone in the lumberjack family has the courage to break the rules. In his opinion, either the holy deed is still hidden somewhere, or the holy deed may have been lost.

It was in the hands of someone else, and that person was probably not anyone in the lumberjack family.

After Patch left, he got into a carriage. The direction of the carriage was not to his family, but to a small town located outside Mount Troub.

The locals call this town Mud Town, because in the past, the roads in this town were all mud roads. When it rains, the whole town seems to be thrown into a mud pit. Although the town has been completely repaired now,

The roads were paved with stone slabs and gravel, and the government gave it a more formal official name, but the name of Lanni Town has always been the name of the locals, and no one would call it the confusing official name.

"There are people following behind. Do we need to deal with them?" After the carriage entered the town, the driver suddenly knocked on the wooden board behind him and said to Patch inside the carriage.

"It's not necessary, they're just a bunch of self-righteous guys!" Patch said disapprovingly.

In fact, since leaving the meeting place, Patch already knew that someone was following him, and even knew who the person following him was. He didn't care about it. He just wanted to let some people know that he had made a decision.

In order to avoid having to force him to do some taboo things later, it would be a waste of the career he has worked hard for so many years.

The carriage drove through several commercial streets that were not very prosperous and stopped in front of an old-fashioned-looking three-story building. The building was obviously an office building of the federal government. There were several people in full uniform standing at the door.

Armed guards.

After Patch got off the carriage, he walked directly into the small building. The guard at the door made no move to stop him. It was obvious that Patch's identity was extraordinary.

Not long after Patch entered, several carriages passed by the small building one after another. When these carriages passed by, they deliberately slowed down so that the people in the carriages could clearly see the sign at the door of the small building.

.

"Sir, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to enter Josh County in such a high-profile manner and hang the Department of Education sign outside." In the small building, when Patch was about to go to his office on the third floor, he was greeted by a young man.

The chief subordinate stopped him, and he said with a hint of doubt.

"Why can't we enter Josh County with a high profile? Isn't Josh County the territory of the Otter Federation? As the administrative agency of the Otter Federation, we have set up a branch within the federal territory. Why do we have to be so secretive that we can't even hang the sign of the branch?

Get out?" Patch's series of rhetorical questions left the older subordinate unable to find words to refute for a while. Then Patch said seriously: "I don't care what method you use to do things under other people's hands, but under mine.

My subordinates, you have to get used to my methods, otherwise, you should apply for transfer."

After saying that, Patch walked up the stairs, leaving the subordinate alone in a daze.

"Boss, that guy is recruiting people everywhere in the department again. Do you want to do anything?" After Patch entered his office, his assistant walked in and asked.

"Let him go. The higher-ups sent him here just to disgust people. As long as he doesn't interfere with our normal work, just ignore him and just treat him as if he doesn't exist." Patch threw his coat to the assistant and sat on his own

On the chair, he took out a bottle of wine and a wine glass from a small cabinet under the desk and poured himself a glass of wine. While drinking, he ordered: "Go and collect the guests who have stayed at the Mist Health Manor in the past few days.

Get that couple’s information.”

Upon hearing this, the assistant immediately turned around and left the office. Not long after, he came back empty-handed and said, "The couple's information requires special reading permissions before they can be accessed."

"Need special reading permission?" Patch was stunned, then pondered for a moment, found a batch of approval notes from the drawer that had never been used before, quickly wrote his request on it, and then picked up the seal.

Cover it and hand it to the assistant.

After a while, the assistant came in with a document and handed it to Patch.

After Patch signaled to his assistant that he could leave, he placed the folder under the lamp, opened it and looked through it.

There wasn't a lot of information in the folder. Even though Patch read it very carefully, he finished it quickly. At the moment after reading it, Patch was almost certain that the missing Venolin Family Holy Deed was there.

In the hands of the foreign couple in the information.

If it were an ordinary person, Pachi would choose to come directly to ask for it. Even if it would cause some trouble afterwards, but thinking about the harvest, it is obvious that this trouble is still within the tolerable range. But the problem is that this foreign couple is not ordinary people. Just from this

Judging from the fact that the couple's information requires special reading permissions from branch minister-level officials, the couple's status in the eyes of the federal government is definitely not low. To deal with this couple in the same way as ordinary people will only

It's asking for trouble.

"Since their identities are so important, it would be very reasonable for me as the branch director of the Trouble Mountain Branch of the Josh County Department of Education to go to their resettlement situation and find out what kind of help they need." Patch gave up and passed.

After using strong force to get the Holy Deed back, there was another way.

Having made the decision, Patch asked his assistant to prepare a decent gift that night. Then at dawn, he left the office building with the gift and drove towards the former Mist Retreat Manor.

"Patch Crowley, director of the Mount Truber branch of the Department of Education?" Leo looked at the name card handed over by the housekeeper, read the content on it, then handed it to Sylvia and said: "Department of Education

Isn’t it a secret department of the federal government? Why are they printing name cards?”

"Perhaps the Ministry of Education is not willing to stay behind the scenes anymore." Sylvia responded disapprovingly, then her eyes fell on the name on the name card and said: "Crowley? I remember that he is the only one in the lumberjack family.

There is a man named Crowley."

"Is it a coincidence?" Leo asked.

Sylvia shook her head and said: "I don't think so, it should be from the Crowley family." After thinking about it, she walked to the safe next to the bookcase and took out the Kalita from it.

The magic contract was placed on Leo's desk, and then he ordered the housekeeper, "Bring the people in!"

Seeing Sylvia's actions, Leo couldn't help but smile and said nothing.

After coming here for a while, there was a sound of footsteps and they stopped outside the study door, and then they saw the housekeeper bringing in a middle-aged bald man who looked a little wretched.
