Chapter 1346: Langnus' suggestion
"There was a lot of noise you made two days ago!" Langnus, who had just entered the door, threw his cane to the butler arranged by the hotel side, and said abruptly.
Sylvia frowned and said unhappily: "You are wrong! This is not something we made."
Langnus smiled and did not refute Sylvia's words, and continued: "The little guy from the Frantia family is very lucky. He was very brave in that battle and killed a beast-like killer alone. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Frantia family operated it again. He should not be punished for failing the mission."
Leo and Sylvia were not surprised after hearing this. This was actually the effect they wanted to achieve. When modifying the memories of those people, they specially added a memory related to Sandro, which made Sandro appear very heroic. In fact, Sandro's performance was no different from that of other special forces soldiers of the Ministry of Education.
"You know that's not what we want to hear." Leo interrupted Langnus's subsequent nagging and asked: "We want to see what makes the Federation so confident that it can deal with the coalition forces of the surrounding church countries?"
Langnus said bluntly: "This matter is still unhurried. You should know that in the eyes of those guys, you are foreigners. Unless you can show that your research on that weapon is a breakthrough, they will not be able to get you close to that weapon."
"Is it even possible for you to come forward?" Leo asked.
Langnus shook his head and said, "Although I have some status here, I have not yet reached the point where I have the final say in everything. It is already very good that my influence can be as strong as possible for the federal agreement with you to turn to your side. The one-third of the information you have obtained before is my limit of my ability."
Leo also gave another suggestion: "Or, you can tell us directly where that thing is, and we will find it ourselves."
Langnus quickly replied: "I can tell you the location of that thing now. It is right under the Capitol building, but I don't recommend you find it yourself."
Leo was surprised to get the answer he wanted so easily, and then asked, "Why don't you recommend that we do it ourselves?"
Langnus replied: "You must know that this place has always been public. Even if I don't tell you, you can find it easily. Other church countries know this place, but for so many years, the thing has been underground in the Congress and has never been contacted by outsiders. All outsiders who try to get close have fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Education, which is responsible for guarding. It is said that among the arrested people, there is also a church priest. He even performed a ritual of descent before he was arrested, but even so, he still cannot get close there, so there must be some powerful force in it to prevent people from approaching through channels outside the rules."
"Is there such a thing?" Leo was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
Sylvia also asked at this time: "What should we do to gain their trust?"
Obviously, when he knew that the shortcut could not be done, Sylvia could only find a way out.
Langnus said in a deep voice: "It is simple to gain their trust, and you should also want this."
"Do you help them win this war?" Leo smiled disdainfully and said, "It's impossible for us to go to the front line to help them fight!"
"No need." Langnus was obviously here to be a lobbyist and said, "The weapon you invented before has already produced enough trust, but now it's only a little bit." As he said, he took out a stack of documents from the briefcase beside him and said, "This is the last little bit of trust."
Leo took the document and read it quickly, then handed it to Sylvia, who was also curious. After reading a part of Sylvia, he asked Langnus: "Sir, you are also a language master. Logically speaking, the content above should not be too difficult for you. Why do you want me to help you crack these languages?"
I saw that those documents were rubbing symbols. It is not difficult to see from the rules of the symbols that these symbols should be a special cuneiform. Although this kind of words is very different from the words in the Viron world, as a linguistic master, the interpretation of these words should not be very difficult for Langnus.
"I tried to crack it, but it turned out bad." Langnus said bluntly, then took off the gloves he had with his right hand, revealing a bloody and bloody right hand that was completely twisted.
When Langnus entered the door just now, Leo and Sylvia found that the gloves on each other were very strange, but they didn't ask much. Now they looked surprised when they saw it. Although they guessed that Langnus's hand might have something wrong, they didn't expect that his hand would become such a hideous and terrifying look.
The entire palm of the right hand to the middle part of the forearm, the skin disappeared, the muscles and fat inside rolled and twisted, the bones were completely dislocated and stirred together with the muscles, the blood vessels and tendons were brought to the surface, and the blood was clearly seen flowing in the blood vessels. The entire epidermis was a very thin film, and it felt like it would crack with a slight touch.
Langnus took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and applied it seriously to the hideous hand. It seemed that this potion could relieve his pain. In short, after applying it, the expression on his face was obviously relaxed.
"These cuneiforms contain extremely strong curses, or power. Interpreting these words will trigger these forces, which is somewhat similar to Gamore's words." Langnus carefully put away the bottle of medicine and explained: "Some time ago, the federal government summoned seven of the best linguistic masters in the Federation, including me, to interpret these words. After interpreting about one-tenth of the content, the curse was activated. The other six linguistic masters were twisted into a flesh-and-blood sacrificial pillar by the curse force on the spot. I was lucky to have a very useful gadget on hand, so that the power of the curse only acts on the right hand, otherwise you will no longer see me."
"Can I see?" Leo pointed to Langnus' arm and said.
Langnus nodded and handed his hand over with great anticipation. It seemed that he also hoped that Leo could find a way to treat this hand.
Leo did not touch the arm with his hands, but used a mental network to scan the arm. When scanning, he could clearly feel that there was still a force remaining in Langnus's arm's flesh and bones. The life form level of this force is very high. Although it did not reach the level of an Omega-level advanced life form, it was much higher than Leo. It was estimated that it should be similar to a Bai Lu, and it was also the level of a ninth-level psychic. It was only one step away from evolving to an Omega-level advanced life form.
In order to avoid touching these remaining forces and causing secondary damage to Langnus, Leo's scanning process was very careful. Once an abnormality occurred, the mental network was immediately contracted. However, even so careful, he still inevitably set off some power, which made Langnus feel pain. However, Langnus experienced too much pain in the past, and this pain would not have much impact on him, but only made his breathing a little heavier.
"It may be difficult to completely remove it in a short period of time," Leo said after carefully scanning.
Langnus heard another meaning from Leo's words and said, "That is, there is a possibility of clearance."
"Indeed, I can slowly wipe out the remaining power in your arms through some of the power in my body, but..." Leo nodded, then changed his subject and said, "But I don't recommend you do this."
"Why?" Langnus puzzled.
Leo explained: "Now your hands can still move as normal hands. This is because this power is maintaining the activity and basic functions of the hands, but once you lose this power, your hands will really become a pool of useless flesh and blood." As he said, he paused and said: "If I guess correctly, those linguistic masters who have been twisted into human sacrifice pillars should also be alive, right?"
Langnus nodded with a gloomy face, sighed heavily, and said, "Although they are still alive, they are better than dead. The Federation believes that they still have a chance to recover, so they use some ancient sacrifices to perform sacrifice rituals on the pillars of these people every day. Each sacrifice can strengthen their physical strength and keep them alive. But in fact, this is just constantly aggravating their pain. The pain and wailings they have made these days have driven crazy to more than a dozen soldiers in charge of guarding."
Sylvia said with some displeasure at the moment: "Since this kind of text is so dangerous and evil, how could Your Excellency Langnus think that we can crack it?"
"If you can't do it, then I don't know who can do it." Langnus looked at Sylvia calmly and said, "And you will encounter this kind of text sooner or later. It is much better to contact now than to contact later."
Leo seemed to think of something when he heard this and confirmed: "What do you mean is that these cuneiform characters come from Mount Trub?"
"No, these words come from the secret weapon you want to contact," Langnus explained: "However, based on my speculation, the source of the secret weapon may also have something to do with Trub Hill."
Leo took the documents over and looked at them, saying, "These documents are only original rubbings. What part of the content you have studied?"
Langnus shook his head and said, "Those materials cannot be given to you. These words are extremely strange. Even if the contents of the same words are finally studied are different. Even if they are different, the effect still exists. If I show you my research materials, then you will be more or less affected by my ideas, which would be not good."
Seeing Langnus say this, Leo did not make any further requests, and said that he would start research in the past two days and would notify him if there were any results.
Seeing that his goal was certain to achieve, Langnus stood up and left without continuing to stay.
"How credible is his words?" Sylvia asked with a little doubt after Langunus left.
Leo thought seriously and said, "Half, half!"
"Which half?" Sylvia asked.
Leo explained carefully: "The curse power in this cuneiform should be true, and his injury is also true, but it is probably worth discussing that this thing comes from Mount Trub. You and I know very well what is most likely to be in Mount Trub. Obviously, this cuneiform has nothing to do with the abyss."
Sylvia nodded in agreement, but asked in confusion: "This kind of lie is easily exposed. It is impossible for him to know this. Why did he say such lies that are easily exposed?"
Leo pondered for a moment and said, "Unless what he said was not for us."
"Didn't it meant for us?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and soon realized something, and asked, "Is there a wiretapping device here?"
"Of course not. You and I have checked it. It is impossible for a wiretap device to exist." Leo shook his head and said, "But after Langnus came, the wiretap device also existed."
"Is it his own?" Sylvia showed a sudden look, but was still a little puzzled, and said, "Why did he do this?"
"Didn't he just say that when he encountered a curse, something helped him resist the curse?" Leo said in a deep voice: "When I checked his hand just now, in addition to feeling the remaining curse power, I also felt the power of divine magic. Obviously, the item on him should have come from a church of true gods, and that thing might still be carried on him. What he said should be for that thing."
Sylvia asked, “Are he going to shift the attention of the True God Church to Mount Trub?”
"I don't know." Leo shook his head, put the documents in his hand on the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and said: "No matter what his purpose is, we don't need to care. We just need to understand these cuneiform words to get the opportunity to get in touch with the secret weapon hidden by the Federation."
"Are you really going to interpret it?" Sylvia said with a serious expression: "I feel that the content represented by these words is not simple and may be dangerous. Otherwise, we should go to Congress first. If we can take the shortcut, it would be better to take the shortcut directly."
