At this moment, Barbarissa's emotions were a little complicated. Although he had already known Leo's extraordinary side when they separated in Cape Guia Port, and judged that it wouldn't be long before Leo and Sylvia were able to get together.

He had created a career and fame in the Old Continent, but what he never expected was that the time would be so much shorter than he expected. In less than a year, Leo and Sylvia had become members of various countries and forces.

High on the list of important people to watch.

Not to mention the great reputation of Leo, who is recognized as the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge, the vague relationship between his wife, Ms. Sylvia, Queen Teresa and the Belmont family is enough to arouse anyone's concern.

People in the Old Continent are paying close attention to the situation in the Old World, because the most important thing that has happened in the entire world recently is related to the Belmont family.

For ordinary people, they only know that there must have been a major accident in the Justice Church from the unusual movements in the temples and temples of the Justice Church around the world that day, as well as the inexplicable coma of senior clergy, but they do not know what happened, and

They have no way to inquire, or even dare to inquire, because as long as they inquire about relevant information, they will be arrested as heretics by the Church of Justice and other True God Churches that have a close relationship with the justice of the gods.

In just a few days, no less than 50,000 people from all over the world were sent to the prisons of the Church's Inquisition because of this curiosity. The lucky ones among these people will be released after a period of time, and the unlucky ones may be released.

He will be imprisoned until death, so matters related to the Church of Justice have become the most taboo topic during this period. Not to mention ordinary people, even the princes and nobles of various countries may not dare to use this matter as a chat.

topic.

However, these are only for ordinary people. Special figures like Barbarissa who have been canonized by the True God Church are obviously not among the restrictions, so he also learned some of the most core information through his connections and ears in the church.

For example, this time Divine Justice was injured, and the injury was serious, and it has fallen into dormancy. As for the reason why Divine Justice was injured, no one knows, but it is rumored to be related to the Belmont family.

If the influence of the Belmont family was only in the Kingdom of Teresa and its surrounding areas in the past, and the information of various countries in the Old World only marked it as a mysterious family with extraordinary power, then the reputation of the Belmont family is now

And the hidden reputation has reached the level of the world's top family. Any piece of information about the Belmont family needs to cost ten times more than in the past to obtain from certain intelligence channels.

It is precisely for this reason that all people and families related to the Belmont family are also listed as the focus of attention. Sylvia, a special person who has the surname Belmont but is not a member of the Belmont family, is very special.

Naturally, it received extra attention, and as her husband, Leo Dodd, he also belonged to the center of the circle of focus.

And those who collect information about Leo and Sylvia because of the Belmont family will soon discover that these two people are definitely not just distant relatives of the Belmont family. In one respect, they are even more powerful than the Belmont family.

The Monte family deserves more attention, and Barbarissa, as a special person who has spent time with these two people, has also received some extra attention.

Although most of the people who follow Leo and Sylvia will focus on Sylvia who is closely related to the Belmont family, especially since there is evidence that Sylvia was in the mysterious Belmont family during this time.

In the castle, this means that Sylvia's status in the Belmont family is extraordinary, and it is possible that she also knows the reason why God Justice was injured.

But there are also some people who are a bit unusual. They don't care about the gods, but are more concerned about other aspects of the situation. Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Leo must be far more worthy of attention than Sylvia, and Barbary

Sa is one of them.

The influence of the Academic City in the countries of the New and Old Continents cannot be measured with a standard unit. If you want to compare it, then only the True God Church can completely overwhelm it. This is the True God Church after the union of several churches. If there is only a single True God

As for the church, even a huge church like the Church of Justice, which has churches all over the cities and villages of the Old World, cannot compare with the influence of the academic city.

Although the Academic City has such a great influence, few forces think that the Academic City can take advantage of these influences. This is mainly because there are many factions within the Academic City, and all scholars come from all over the world.

They have their own ideas and thoughts, and their own rational thinking and comparison of gains and losses also prevent them from using their influence to do something extremely excessive.

But now, the situation is different, because the emergence of Leo, the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge, who is recognized by professors and ordinary students in the academic city, has made the academic community that originally did not have much cohesion, like scattered sand.

The city began to show signs of condensing into a regular force. This was only a matter of time after Leo came to the City of Academics. If Leo were to continue to stay in the City of Academics, it would not take a few months for the City of Academics to become a regular force.

The city may complete a transformation and become a powerful force with internal cohesion and unified thinking.

It is precisely because Leo can control such an extremely influential force as the Academic City at any time, so those who are interested will naturally pay special attention to Leo's whereabouts. From the day Leo left the Academic City for the Middle Kingdom, almost everyone

At every moment, someone was gathering together information about Leo's whereabouts and the special events that happened around him along the way, editing them into files, and putting them on the desks of those who were interested.

Barbarissa was also one of the caring people, so he was able to find Leo and meet with him as soon as Leo entered his territory.

"Your Excellency Barbarissa, wait for me in advance. Do you think you have something to do?" After Barbarissa explained why he was waiting here in advance, Leo did not show too much surprise, but asked very directly.

road.

Faced with Leo's inquiry, Barbarissa did not say polite greetings, and answered directly: "There is indeed something I want to ask you for help with."

Leo said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it. As long as it doesn't affect my affairs and your affairs are attractive enough, I might be able to provide you with some help."

Barbarissa was silent for a moment, as if he was preparing a speech. After a while, he slowly said: "I would like to ask your Excellency to secretly investigate one matter. This matter is why I was canonized and became a saint?"

Leo asked: "Isn't it because of your achievements in the Middle Kingdom?"

Barbarissa shook his head and said: "Although my achievements are great, they are only relative to the country I am in. My achievements are too small for this world, and there is no need for canonization at all.

qualifications."

Leo showed an interested look and asked: "If it's not because of merit, then what is the reason for your canonization?"

"This is also what I want to know." Barbarissa was a little confused and said: "However, I guess it has something to do with my blood and life experience, and it should also have something to do with the situation in the Middle Kingdom."

"Is there anything special about your bloodline and life experience?" Leo asked.

Barbarissa said in a deep voice: "I don't know this either. This is also one of the things that you need to investigate, the origin of my father's family."

As he spoke, he briefly introduced his situation. For example, he was born and raised in his mother's family, and his surname was also the surname of his mother's family. Moreover, his mother's family was not a large aristocratic family, so he felt that there was a problem.

It should come from his father's branch.

Leo still looked puzzled and asked: "Have you never considered investigating this matter before? Why do you suddenly want to investigate it now?"

"Because I didn't feel the sense of crisis before, but now I feel it." Barbarissa said with a gloomy face.

"Just because of the feeling?" Leo frowned and muttered softly.

"It's not just a feeling, there is also some evidence." Barbarissa hesitated for a moment and said, "You should know that there was a big scandal among my men recently, right?"

"It's the steward who absconded with the money," Leo said.

"Yes, that's him." Barbarissa nodded and said, "I'm very sure that Shaunard will never do such a thing. Shaonard is the one in charge."

"Why are you so sure?" Leo asked.

"Because he is my spy used to collect intelligence from various countries in the Middle Kingdom. Any spy who performs such a task will go through the most severe loyalty test. He will never betray me, let alone abscond with the money.

Something happened." Barbarissa was silent for a moment, then continued: "I suspect he is dead."

Leo thought for a while and asked, "What is the mission of the secret agent? Can you tell me?"

Barbarissa hesitated for a moment and said: "I asked him to investigate the forbidden legends in the Middle Kingdom."

"Forbidden legend?" Leo was stunned, not understanding why Barbarissa would let his important spies investigate such a thing.

Forbidden legends are stories like this, let alone the Middle Kingdom. There are various taboo legends all over the world, and the structures of these taboo legends are similar. They all breed something evil in certain places. If you get close,

, will be eaten or killed, etc.

Perhaps Leo's expression was too obvious, allowing Barbarissa to see Leo's thoughts at a glance, so he explained: "The taboo legend I want to investigate is not an ordinary taboo legend. It seems to involve the fallen man in the center.

The original god of the world in the Kingdom region.”

Leo was slightly stunned after hearing this, because it was a coincidence that one of the few things he decided to do before coming to the Middle Kingdom was to investigate the original god of the Middle Kingdom.

Through various church classics he had read before, Leo knew that this world once had an initial god, and that this initial god suddenly fell in the Middle Kingdom for unknown reasons. After that, other gods also appeared in this area one after another.

In the world, almost most church books mention that the true God of their church comes from the original God.

However, what is interesting is that the records of the original God in various churches are very few and fragmented, hidden in inconspicuous corners of various classics. If they are not scholars who specialize in theological research, it is difficult for ordinary people to discover this world.

There once was a primal god.

The reason why Leo wanted to investigate the Prime God was because the crystal that could cause the reaction of the Stone Throne was produced in the Middle Kingdom and was not found elsewhere. Therefore, he suspected that these crystals came from the Prime God, and this Prime God

Perhaps it is inextricably linked to the Stone Throne.

"What benefits can I gain?" After discovering that the matters that needed to be investigated overlapped and would not cause any trouble, Leo naturally agreed to the other party's request, but at the same time he bargained very seriously.

"I know that Your Excellency came to the Middle Kingdom to purchase a crystal," Barbarissa said in a deep voice, "I can help you purchase it."

Leo thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I'll leave the acquisition of the crystal to your Excellency."

Seeing that Leo agreed, Barbarissa's always serious expression relaxed.

Leo then asked: "If I start an investigation, where should I start?"

"I don't know about this, because I haven't found a clue after all these years of investigation." Barbarissa shrugged regretfully and said: "I will send someone to give you the information I have collected over the years later.

Send it over so you can refer to it."

Seeing what Barbarissa said, Leo did not ask any more questions, because he could see that Barbarissa did not know his father's father at all, so he did not have too much confidence in Barbarissa's information.

expect.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Barbarissa had no idea of ​​staying any longer. After all, there were too many things on his hands now, and everything was related to him and his territory. However, after he left Leo to rent a house,

When entering the room, Leo was given a token with his family's crest. This token could help Leo navigate the streets of the Middle Kingdom, including some special restricted areas.

Shortly after Barbarissa left, Leo also left the hotel to collect possible useful information on the streets of the town. When he returned to the hotel, there was another uninvited guest waiting for him.

"Hello, Mr. Leo Dodd." I saw an old clergyman wearing old robes standing in front of Leo. After saluting Leo respectfully, he said in a deep voice.

Leo looked at the other person's robe and tried to identify which church the other party belonged to from the patterns on the robe. However, he found that the other person's robe did not have any religious symbols or emblems related to the church in this world. This made Lei
