In the following two days, Leo had responded to the weapons and lists sent by Cardi through special channels through the Special Service Department. A special investigation team from the capital entered Josh Fort directly. Some on the list and those involved in the people on the list were taken away by the special investigation team for investigation, all of which were in national security.

Because there are many gentry and prominent families in Josh County, and these people have considerable reputation in the upper and municipalities of Josh County, the arrest process has encountered some obstacles. The county council, county courts and county procuratorate of Josh County are obstructing the arrest of personnel, and some powerful people even plan to organize people to attack the temporary office building of the investigation team that detained these people and force people out of the building.

However, these actions eventually came to an end after an incident that broke out.

At that time, federal investigators went to the leather manufacturing factory outside Josh Fort and arrested the director of the largest leather factory in Josh County, and were ambushed the moment they entered the factory.

Fortunately, the federal government had made complete preparations before sending a special investigation team, and there was also a well-equipped army. Therefore, the two sides launched a fierce battle in the factory, and the battle process was no less than a small-scale urban war.

In the end, the federal army overwhelmed the upper hand and the battle was soon over. Only a few government people were slightly injured when they were ambushed at the beginning and did not die. Most of the people who set up ambush in the factory were killed and injured, including the targets they were about to be captured.

Later, on the battlefield of reasoning, government personnel found a large number of weapon parts in the factory that had not been assembled. All of these weapons came from surrounding church countries.

Once the process and results of this battle were made public, all the people in Josh County who tried to resist the arrest and investigation were stopped because they knew that if they continued to do anything, their fate would definitely be the same as the factory owner. If they cooperated honestly, they might be able to escape.

While the Federal Special Investigation Bureau was raiding and investigating suspicious people, the federal government also strengthened the protection of Leo and Sylvia, not only increasing the security of the Secret Service to twenty, but also adding a Knight Guard belonging to Congress while there was already a military police force to protect it.

When the Knight Guard was building the camp outside the manor, Leo and Sylvia went to see it and gave some supplies such as fruit and wine.

The reason why the two of them did this was entirely because they were curious about the Knight Guard.

This Knight Guard is different from the Knight Guards in other countries. Most of the Knight Guards in other New World countries only retain a name. In fact, the guard members are soldiers who use guns. Not to mention using knight swords and knight guns, even if they ride horses, they may not be able to do it.

However, the new-style country that advocates new weapons has a very traditional Knight Guard. The Knight Guard sent to protect Leo is one of the squads.

The members of this Knight Guard are not only able to skillfully use various new weapons made by the Federation, but are also very good at the eliminated knight swordsmanship. They are also wearing knight armor and know very superb horsemanship. They can use knight guns to fight on horseback, which is completely no different from the traditional knights in the past.

It is said that when this knight guard was formed, the Otter Federation sent them to the Kingdom of Teresa for knight training. They trained several groups in a row. Until they thoroughly mastered the knight skills and training methods, they no longer sent learning groups to the old continent.

Leo and Sylvia were interested in this team of Knight Guards when they heard about this incident. When they came to meet them, they asked them to perform their knight swordsmanship. After watching the knight swordsmanship they learned from the Kingdom of Teresa, they could basically be sure that the founder of the Kingdom of Teresa must have a close relationship with the Flan Empire, and he is very likely to be the great nobleman of the Flan Empire, because the swordsmanship learned from the Kingdom of Teresa and the Knight swordsmanship of the Second Dynasty of the Flan Empire, and it can be said that it was improved by the swordsmanship of the Conquest Knights.

The Conquest Knights of the Second Dynasty of the Flan Empire can be said to be the strongest knights in the world of Viron at that time. The sword techniques they used were the basic sword techniques required by the Knights of Viron for a long time. In fact, most of the sword techniques of the Conquest Knights circulating outside were simplified sword techniques, and the real Conquest Knight sword techniques were only circulated in the Conquest Knights family.

The Conquest Knights family are both in the Second Dynasty and the Third Dynasty, both in the Fran Empire. For example, the Belmont family is the Conquest Knights during the Second Dynasty, so Sylvia and Leo can easily see the origin of the swordsmanship used by the Federation's Knight Guards.

After confirming that the Kingdom of Teresa was confirmed to be connected with the Flan Empire, Leo and Sylvia had already begun to plan. After figuring out the secrets of the Trub Mountain, the lumberjack family and the Carita Demon contract, they set out to the Kingdom of Teresa in the Old Continent to see if they could find clues about the Belmont family in this world.

While the Knights Guard and the added special service security strengthened the security of the estate, the envoy from the senior military also came to the estate to meet Leo, and described the views of the senior management about the grenades he developed, and put forward the request that Leo could further reduce the manufacturing costs and manufacturing processes, even if it was weakened.

By observing the process of ruby ​​stimulating the statue to produce explosive power, Leo discovered that the ruby ​​in this world was like an energy bomb with stabilizer added, containing a compressed explosive force inside.

After this explosive force is compressed, it shows extremely inert characteristics. No matter how external force stimulates it, even if the ruby ​​is smashed and crushed into powder, it will not be activated. Only by repeatedly stimulating energy waves at a specific frequency in extreme times can the explosive force be stimulated.

The first grenade made by Leo was the one that used rubies and his specially made rune array. As for the power, it was very amazing, and it was no worse than using a magical statue to stimulate rubies directly. It was just that the production cost was too high, and it required more than five rubies, and the production was too complicated. There was probably no other person in this world who could make such grenades except him.

So Leo took a different approach and improved the grenade. The first thing to do is to find a replacement for ruby. This is easy because the gunpowder in this world needs to add an additive called flint powder. This flint powder is ground by flint. Like ruby, flint also contains inert explosive power, but the energy level of the explosive power is lower, and its power is naturally much weaker.

The reason why Leo was able to find a substitute so quickly was not because of his good luck, but because people who developed gunpowder weapons had discovered that rubies were ground into powder and added to gunpowder, which could increase the power of gunpowder weapons to varying degrees.

However, because rubies are too expensive and are not suitable for adding raw materials for gunpowder, and the powder additives made of rubies produce very unstable effects. Either there is no effect or the effect is amazing. So I quickly gave up using rubies as additives and finally replaced them with the current flint powder.

After replacing it with flint, although its power is weakened, the triggering is easier. Leo does not need to use a special rune array, but only needs to use a flint trigger used on ships in this world.

Afterwards, Leo perfected this grenade to the point where it could be mass-produced and meets the requirements of the federal government. However, the grenade he sent to the capital was not the final finished product, but a semi-finished product. It was a product of a mixture of ruby ​​and flint, and it also maintained the original complex production model, so the federal government needed him to make further improvements.

Leo did not intend to hand over the finished grenade to the federal government in a short time, because he knew very well that if this weapon was used properly, the battle between the Utter Federation and the surrounding church countries would soon end, and then the Utter Federation and the church countries signed a series of treaties, and eventually there would be no war here in the next few decades.

This result is not what Leo wants to see. Leo wants to see that the war between the Ute Federation and the surrounding church countries can last for a period of time. Only when the war falls into a stalemate will these countries take out their trump cards, so that Leo can see the real power hidden under the surface of this world.

After coming to this world, Leo and Sylvia could clearly feel the power of this world is chaotic, weird and powerful, but they had been in this world for so long and encountered only a handful of things related to extraordinary power, which was obviously inconsistent with the actual situation of this world.

In Leo's opinion, the monster he encountered before in Lake Beruk should be the true manifestation of the power contained in this world. If he wants to leave this world safely with Sylvia, then it is essential to understand the world better.

In addition, only when the war reaches a stalemate can the Authentic Federation allow him, a foreigner, to get closer to the secret weapon they have mastered that requires the remains of the gods to use.

Although the federal government sent some additional personnel to protect his safety, it was also to monitor him, a foreigner. The follow-up information about the secret weapons that originally promised him was nowhere to be seen. Obviously, the federal government has made some minor thoughts.

Although there is an acquaintance of Langnus within the federal government, after all, so many years have passed, Langnus has even given up the name Rembrandt. His current mind is impossible to guess and cannot be used as a force to rely on. He needs to find a way to get the information he wants from the federal government.

"I can't guarantee this." Leo said to the envoy very seriously: "This is a new type of weapon, not fishing fish in fishing nets. It is already very good that weapons can be improved to this level in a short period of time. If you ask any weapon research and development expert, he will tell you this way. Any small change will take a long time to study and experiment. If you want to complete your requirements within a few months, you can only go to God. Oh! Sorry, I forgot that the federal people do not believe in God."

"No, you're wrong! We don't believe in God, we just don't believe in God as the greedy churches said." The envoy was not angry at Leo's ridicule, but explained it very formally, and then said, "Mr. Leo, is there any way to speed up the R&D?"

Leo was silent for a moment and said, "Data, a lot of relevant reference materials. My weapon was inspired by the research materials on the secret weapon, but the content of that data was too little, and I needed more information."

The envoy thought for a while and said, "I can apply for you, but I don't know whether I can apply in the end, because this information is also the highest secret of the federal government and needs to be signed by the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the Congress and the Supreme Justice to approve the reading authority. So even if the application is successful, it will not be brought to you. Instead, you need to read it in the capital."

"This is acceptable." Leo nodded and said.

"Apart from this, is there anything else you need?" the envoy asked again.

Leo thought seriously and said, "There is nothing to do now, but since I have to stay in the manor for a short time, I may need some things to pass the time when I am bored, and maybe I will need it..."

"You can hand these things over to Cardi, and he will help you get what you want." Before he could finish speaking, the envoy responded, but he obviously misunderstood Leo's meaning.

Leo had no idea of ​​correcting it, and nodded to the envoy, indicating that he was satisfied.

At this moment, Sylvia, who was sitting aside, suddenly spoke, "Wait, I still have something I need."

"Please say it." The envoy said to Sylvia without showing any dissatisfaction.

Sylvia said: "I want to read church books, including church missionary scriptures, theological books, etc."

As soon as this was said, the envoy was slightly stunned and frowned, but did not refuse Sylvia's request. Instead, he thought about it and asked, "Which church book do you want?"

"All." Sylvia replied: "I want to see it whether it is from the New World or the Old World."

The special envoy's face showed a puzzled look, because he couldn't understand Sylvia's thoughts, but he did not ask why, but faithfully performed his duties, saying: "It may take a long time to collect them all, after all, there are too many churches of various gods in this world."

"It's okay, we don't lack time," Sylvia smiled disapprovingly and said, "You can send it as much as you collect. As for the fees required for collection, it will be deducted from the share income of our smelting group."
