"Didn't you say that the next gathering will have to wait until after the Corolla Festival? Why did it suddenly change to now?" Leo got on the carriage of the recommender Eric and asked Eric, who was sitting opposite, pretending to be confused.

"This is a party specially held for you, Mr. Leo." Eric knocked on the wooden board behind him, motioned for the driver to drive, and then said bluntly: "I was also present at your dissection show, so I can only express it wonderfully.

To describe it as extraordinary, the impact of this performance is definitely beyond your imagination. It would be our biggest loss if an outstanding scholar like you does not join us."

It can be seen that Eric looked very excited, and there was some resentment in his tone. It seems that before Leo performed the dissection in public, his recommendation must have been hindered, which made him resentful.

Sensing the slight flaw in Eric's emotions, Leo naturally would not let it go. He did not use any extraordinary power, but used some hypnotic techniques, slowed down his tone, and asked in a deep voice: "It seems that Mr. Eric has

You have encountered some trouble in recommending me to join the research association, can you tell me?"

Eric didn't notice the small change in Leo's voice, but after hearing Leo's inquiry, he felt that Leo was as trustworthy as a long-time friend, and the resentment that had been suppressed before resurfaced at this moment.

Coming out, he couldn't help but confide in Leo.

Just like any large organization, the Mystery and Human Body Research Society is also full of various factional struggles and competition for interests. Although most of these factional battles are ideological battles, they are no less intense than the rights of secular dignitaries.

struggle.

The faction that Eric belongs to mainly focuses on the study of anatomy and biological structures, and is nicknamed the Butcher Faction. The faction that is hostile to it is the spiritual faction that mainly studies spirituality. Every time the two sides go to the research association to recommend people,

Sometimes, the other party will deliberately make things difficult, but most of these things just create some obstacles and don't go too far.

It's just that this time when Eric recommended Leo, the spiritual faction didn't just create some obstacles to disgust Eric, but tried their best to prevent it. The excuse was also very simple, it was Leo's

The identity has never been found out.

However, any scholar from any research association will know that such an excuse is just an excuse, because many members of the research association are also unknown people. If this is used as an excuse to prevent capable talents from joining, then the research association will

The number of members will probably be reduced by nearly one-third now.

After Eric learned about the situation afterwards, he realized that the Spirituality Faction's objection to his recommendation of Leo was actually a revenge, because not long ago, an experiment by the Spirituality Faction in a kingdom in the north was banned by the local church.

The organization was destroyed. Although there were no casualties, the bases that the spiritual faction had spent several years building there were all destroyed. The reason why the local church discovered the spiritual faction was that a member of the butcher faction made a drunken gaffe.

He revealed some clues to the spies of the local church's heresy punishment agency, and was able to follow the clues and find the base of the spiritual sect.

This incident made the fight between the two factions within the research association become more serious, and the spiritual faction's various difficulties against the butcher faction became more intense. During this period, not only Eric's recommendation was blocked,

Even other things related to the Butcher faction have encountered various obstacles, and the reasons for these obstacles are very sufficient, and there is no loophole to refute.

However, fortunately, Leo's dissection performance was so wonderful. His knowledge of the human body and dissection skills he displayed was already a master. Even within the seminar, there was no one who could compare with him.

If such talents fail to become members of the Research Association due to factional struggles within the Research Association, as Eric said, it will definitely be the Research Association's biggest loss. Therefore, some of the previous obstacles were cleared instantly, and the Research Association will be in the west.

The branch in Cape Wangyang also held this gathering specifically for him.

"Are the factional fights within the research association so serious?" After listening to Eric's explanation, Leo deliberately showed a serious expression, and then said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Mr. Eric, this seems to be related to

Your previous description of your association was somewhat different. I thought that the Mystery and Human Body Research Association was just a purely scholarly organization that could provide a quiet atmosphere for my research and study and reduce external interference, but within your association..."

Eric quickly explained: "Mr. Leo, don't worry, this is just a special case. Normally, the factional struggles in the seminar are just some verbal arguments, and they are more like discussing and debating ideas together.

The differences are purely academic exchanges."

"I hope it will be as you said." Leo said, still looking uneasy.

On the way, Eric kept telling Leo about the various benefits of joining the seminar to ease Leo's doubts, while Leo listened quietly like a qualified listener, only knowing

At some point, he asked a few questions, and the questions he asked just right led the topic to some undisclosed contents of the seminar, allowing Leo to know many secrets of the seminar in advance, among which Leo was most surprised

The interesting secret is that Eric clearly revealed that the research society is just a peripheral organization, and there is a secret organization behind it, and within that secret organization, there is a large amount of forbidden knowledge that scholars will go crazy about. To use his words to describe it

That is the holy place of scholars and the end point of truth.

Undoubtedly judging from Eric's longing expression, he obviously has not joined that organization, but his identity has allowed him to come into contact with some relevant things and understand some situations of that organization.

At the right time, Leo also showed a yearning look and asked: "How can I join that organization?"

Facing the inquiry, Eric also smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

After learning that there was such a secret organization behind the research society, Eric also tried to join the organization by applying to the senior management of the research society, but the result was that there was no news.

However, after so many years, he still found some clues on how to join the secret organization. For example, if you gain enough merit in the research association and become a senior member of the research association, you will automatically become a member of the organization. Another example is by going beyond the ordinary.

Depending on the scholar's knowledge and ability, the organization will take the initiative to contact the scholar after some investigation and invite him to join, just like he is now inviting Leo to join the Mystery and Human Body Research Society.

When he said this, Eric looked at Leo with a look of envy, because he knew very well that with Leo's ability and knowledge in human anatomy, he believed that he would soon be invited to join that team.

secret organization.

During the conversation, the carriage quickly left the city of Cape Opia and arrived at the suburbs. After passing through a dense forest, it entered a manor.

Although the manor seemed unguarded, Leo's mental network could easily detect some beasts lurking in the woods on both sides of the manor's entrance. However, these beasts were not normal beasts, but beasts that had been transformed in some way.

Their bodies are stronger than ordinary beasts, and the technology used to transform them does not have any extraordinary power. As for whether it is related to the implanted technology in Qiao An, you need to capture one and examine it before you know.

Soon the carriage stopped in the small square in front of the manor. At this time, the square was filled with carriages of various styles. Some carriages were novel and gorgeous, while some looked very old. This can be seen from the style of the carriages.

There is a big gap in the status of the people attending the party. He does not need to enter the house in front of him or check the mental network to predict what will happen at the party.

After getting off the carriage, Leo and Eric entered the villa under the guidance of their servants and walked directly into the somewhat noisy banquet hall.

The situation in the banquet hall was as Leo expected. Most of the people attending the banquet stood together according to their different clothing and status. Only a few people stood together, forming a natural division of factions. This can be seen at a glance.

The ideology and status of the group of people.

The moment Leo entered the banquet hall, the conversations in the hall stopped involuntarily. Everyone looked at the protagonist of the banquet, and these eyes formed a natural pressure towards Leo.

, although Eric, who was next to Leo, was not the center of the pressure, he could still feel the pressure. This pressure made him feel uncomfortable, causing him to instinctively slow down and pull away from Leo.

He kept a little distance and hid his figure next to Leo.

Because most of the people's eyes were directed at Leo, no one noticed Eric's little evasive move. However, Staff, the owner of the manor as Eric's direct superior and recommender, couldn't help but frowned, obviously.

Dissatisfied with Eric's performance.

However, everyone's attention soon shifted away, and the hall returned to its previous state, except that the voices of everyone speaking were much lower.

At this time, Eric came out from behind Leo, brought Leo in front of Staff, and said: "Mr. Leo, let me introduce to you, this..."

"Let me do it myself..." Staff raised his hand to signal to Eric, then took the initiative to reach out to Leo and said: "Stav Tarrant, the president of Marvel Continent Magazine

Also editor-in-chief.”

"Leo Dodd." Leo shook the other person's hand and simply stated his name without saying his other specific identity.

After hearing Leo's self-introduction, Staff was stunned, because among the people he knew, even the most down-and-out scholars would take the initiative to add some titles, and no matter how bad they were, they would say where they were from, such as so-and-so.

Who is there, etc., but it was the first time I met someone like Leo who just said his name.

After being surprised, Staff quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Actually, I have wanted to meet Mr. Leo for a long time. You published an article in my magazine some time ago, which caused quite a stir.

.”

"The news? It must be a controversy!" Leo said with a smile: "I heard that the complaint letters caused by my article were piled up in your office, and it took the staff a day to clean them up."

Staff examined Leo again, because the matter Leo mentioned was not something open to the public.

As Leo said, after Marvel Continent magazine published Leo's article, it did cause a lot of controversy. This was an article published by Staff after deleting some content that might cause irritation to the church.

As for the incomplete article, if the entire article was really published, I'm afraid the church would have sent someone to his office, and it wouldn't just be some questioning letters sent directly from dissatisfied readers.

Staff had already anticipated that something like this would happen, so he had early arranged for two magazine staff to be responsible for handling the letters of questions and complaints. Since the morning, these letters have not stopped. It wasn't until get off work at night that everything was done. Just like Leo said, it took a day to clean up.

However, this matter is only known to people within the magazine, and even if the magazine staff accidentally disclose this matter to people around them, it is unlikely that it will spread too widely, let alone spread to Lei Lei.

Ou's ears, but now that Leo has told him that he knows about this matter, there is only one possibility, that is, Leo is monitoring the magazine, so he knows the magazine's situation very well.

Just when Staff was suspicious of Leo's seemingly unintentional words, Leo seemed to be able to see through the other person's mind. Without waiting for the other person to ask, he took the initiative to reveal the answer, saying: "This matter is my fault."

My wife told me, my wife’s name is Sylvia Belmont.”

"Sylvia Belmont?" Staff couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this unfamiliar name. He didn't think Leo was introducing his wife to him. There were obviously other reasons, so he quickly remembered it.

This name, and looked at Leo with surprise.

Although Sylvia used various means to take control of the underground intelligence organization in Cape Guia Port in a short period of time and became the queen of the underground, most ordinary people do not know that, but a person of Staff's level of status

He is not among ordinary people. He has known for a long time that there is a queen from the underground intelligence organization in Cape Guia Port, and he also knows the name of the queen. As for other information, he is not clear.

However, he knew very well that neither the church, nor the powerful people in Cape West Point Port, nor even the anti-powerful organizations wanted the underground intelligence organization in Cape West Point Port to be controlled by one person, so during this period, he was also targeting this person.

The underground queen launched a series of attacks, but without exception, she was easily defused by the underground queen. She even counterattacked the key points of these forces, so that these forces did not dare to act rashly. To a certain extent, this was acquiescence.

This queen's rule over the intelligence underground.

However, now the newcomer who is about to become a new member of the research association and is very likely to become the core of the organization in the future actually said that the queen is his wife. If this is true, then Staff must re-examine the statement.
