Chapter 165 Chaos and Reality
From Marek's expression, it was not difficult for Leo to tell that he must have had an unspeakable experience, and that this experience should be related to the Mist Village. Although Leo was a little curious about this, he did not ask in detail.
While sighing, Marek couldn't help but ask: "However, what makes me wonder is how did this Fog People enter Hushang Town? How many Fog People are hiding in Hushang Town? What is the relationship between them and this murder?
what is the relationship?"
Faced with Marek's soliloquy question, Leo wanted to ask why the fog people couldn't just climb the wall to enter, or enter from the water, but he didn't ask because he felt that these two questions should be
Two common sense questions that even books don't bother to mention, if asked out loud, would actually arouse Marek's suspicion.
So, he pondered for a moment, thought of the airship transporting supplies he saw in the cemetery that day, and casually said: "Could it be an airship?"
"Airship?" Leo's words made Marek think of something. He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's possible."
Leo was also stunned. He didn't expect that he could hit the mark just by saying it casually.
Marek said with a serious look: "The entry of the Fog People into Lake Town is a big event in itself, and it also involves the Chaos Society. I'm afraid something big will happen in the Seventh Lake Town..."
"Could it be related to the abolition of the capital?" Leo interrupted Marek before he could finish his words and asked.
"Abandoned Capital?" Marek looked at Leo with a confused expression, and asked puzzledly: "How could it involve Abandoned Capital again..." As he said that, he suddenly stopped, and seemed to understand what Leo meant, and was surprised.
Said: "Are you saying that the Abandoned City will appear in the town of Seventh Lake?"
"Don't you know?" Leo pretended to be surprised and said, "During this period, there are so many businessmen directly affiliated with the chief wizard coming to the town on Seventh Lake, and there are no real big business opportunities here. Don't you think it's strange?
?”
"No wonder, no wonder!" Leo's words seemed to clear up some of Marek's questions, and he muttered to himself: "So this is where the problem lies."
"What did you think of?" Leo asked.
"You should know that after the Chaotic Society was wiped out, it actually did not disappear. Instead, it went to the fog area and spread their chaotic apocalyptic theory in the fog people's villages." Marek did not hide it from Leo, but told him what he thought
What happened, Wei Wei narrated: "It's just that the Alliance Council and the Wizards Council didn't know that the chaos would split into two groups in the fog people's villages. One group believed that they should stay in the fog area to spread their doctrine and gather the power of the fog people's villages.
Then counterattack Hushang Town. The other team believes that neither the Fog Zone nor Hushang Town is the real chaotic apocalypse, and they should be looking for the real chaotic apocalypse. When I left the Fog Zone, there were rumors that the second team was looking for the chaotic apocalypse.
People believe that the Abandoned City is the real end of Chaos, so they want to enter the Abandoned City and seize the Abandoned City. The female corpse is probably a member of the Chaos Society who has sneaked in."
Although Leo knew the origin of the female corpse very well, he still followed Marek's words and said, "So the murderer did a good thing."
"That's not necessarily true." Marek said solemnly: "I suspect that the murderer may also be a member of the Chaos Society."
Leo asked: "Why is there such suspicion?"
"Because I have seen similar things before." Marek was silent for a moment and said: "That time it was not that the internal organs were taken away, but the brains and eyeballs of three people were taken away, and three living people were used as
A living sacrifice…”
Listening to Marek's words, some knowledge that he had never had before immediately emerged in Leo's mind. Just like when he saw the four hollowed-out internal organs, he immediately knew that they were sacrifices for resurrection. After hearing Marek's words
After describing it, he also knew that the person who did this was doing it for a ritual called True Sacrifice, and what was interesting was that the object of the sacrifice turned out to be the Eye of Truth. Yes, he was trapped and died in the hunting ground outside Miria City.
In the stone ball, the spiritual will was sacrificed by Leo to the true eye of the Lord of turbidity and lightness.
At this time, Leo suddenly thought of the person who had been in and out of the dream world many times and had contact with the Eye of Truth, so he tried to ask Marek: "Director Marek, do you know about the Eye of Truth?
?”
This somewhat inexplicable question made Marek stunned, then he looked at Leo with a strange look, pointed at the glasses Leo put in his pocket, and said, "Why do you ask such a question?
Aren’t you wearing glasses produced by the Eye of Truth?”
Leo was startled by these words. He reached out and took out the special glasses he bought earlier, put them in his hands and looked at them, his eyes full of surprise.
Marek was a little smart and guessed Leo's thoughts, and said: "Do you suspect that the Eye of Truth and Chaos are colluding?"
Leo put the glasses back into his pocket, and then he didn't intend to explain. Instead, he followed Marek's words and said, "I'm a little skeptical, what do you think?"
"Impossible!" As soon as Leo said these words, Marek immediately shook his head and said: "The Eye of Truth and Chaos will be mortal enemies. The reason why Chaos will be cleared out of Lake Town is because of the help of the Eye of Truth.
, so that those crazy Chaos people can't hide, and they are found one by one and destroyed. Therefore, what Chaos hates most is the Eye of Truth. They always want to destroy the Eye of Truth, and it is impossible to cooperate with them.
.”
Leo smiled calmly and said: "Director Marek, even a calm person like you feels that it is impossible for the two parties to cooperate. Isn't this a good cover?"
"What do you mean?" Marek asked with a frown.
In order to obtain information about the Eye of Truth from Marek, Leo did not hesitate to blame the Eye of Truth and said: "The Chaos Society and the Fog People have entered Lake Town silently. This is indisputable.
Real facts, right?"
"Yes." Marek nodded.
"We were previously suspicious about why the Chaos Society and the Fog People appeared in Lake Town," Leo set the trap a little bit, and said, "At that time, we suspected that they most likely entered Lake Town through an airship, right?"
Marek did not answer this time, but nodded, but with a slightly thoughtful look on his face.
"But it is very difficult to enter Hushang Town by airship. After all, the process must be strictly inspected, so it may be difficult for one person to enter Hushang Town silently." Leo said little by little.
Marek's thinking was led astray, and he said: "But what if someone takes over? Not only does that person have a lot of power, but even if something happens afterwards, he will not be suspected."
Although Marek still didn't believe Leo's words in his heart, he was already a little shaken. He no longer immediately denied Leo's guess, but looked thoughtful.
Leo waited for a while and suddenly asked: "Do you have any information related to the Eye of Truth?"
"Yes." Marek nodded and said.
Leo suggested purposefully: "Check it out. If there is really a problem, there will definitely be some clues in the information."
Marek thought about it and nodded in agreement with the proposal. Then he asked Leo to wait a moment and walked out of the office. After about ten minutes, he saw him holding three books as big as a desktop and as thick as a tabletop.
The dictionary archives came in.
After placing the file on the table, Marek was silent for a moment, and then said to Leo extremely seriously: "Although this file is not a particularly important secret file, it cannot be shown to others casually, because the matter is somewhat urgent.
I am a little bit unable to do it alone, so I will open these files to you. I hope that after you read it, Mr. Dodd, you will forget everything when you leave this room and can't say anything. Is that okay?"
Leo thought about it very seriously, then nodded cautiously and said: "Okay."
Seeing Leo's cautious attitude, Marek chose to believe Leo's promise, picked up one of the files and handed it to Leo, and he directly opened the file in front of him and read it carefully.
Leo was not polite. He took the file and started to read it. His reading speed was much faster than that of Marek. He almost glanced at the page and immediately turned to the next page.
This kind of reading speed once made Marek doubt whether he was really looking for clues seriously, but when he saw that Leo could easily tell the contents of the files he had read before, Marek was immediately shocked and felt.
An idea also came up.
When Marek had read less than ten pages of the file in his hand, Leo had already read all the two huge files. Perhaps because of his expectations of Leo's ability, Marek did not continue.
He continued reading, but handed the file in his hand to Leo, as if leaving the job of analyzing clues to Leo, an outsider.
As for Leo, he was not polite. After taking the file, he continued to browse through it. Within ten minutes, he recorded three files into the assistant brain database.
After reading the information, Leo pretended to think, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, but he was actually cooperating with the assistant brain system to sort through the recorded information.
Just like the leaders of the Velen World or the Earth Federation, the Silver Moon Lake Alliance Council, which controls the administrative power of the ten towns, is also extremely wary of some powerful forces under its rule that can affect their rights, so it sends out such as Marley
Strong men like Ke monitor these big forces and collect information on their activities, and the Eye of Truth is also a key surveillance target of the Alliance Council.
Perhaps because Marek himself is not a professional intelligence officer, he does not have a systematic concept of collecting intelligence data. He just collects all the data from the Eye of Truth, regardless of which of these data are useful.
Which ones are useless are all compiled together randomly according to the date.
Although this kind of chaotic information files will cause great obstacles to other people who read the files, Leo has an accessory brain system to organize the data, so these obstacles are not a problem at all. On the contrary, because of the variety and detail of the data, Leo is able to
Get a lot of useful information.
This information is not only the intelligence data of the Eye of Truth itself, but also contains a large amount of information about the Ten Towns and other forces in Silver Moon City. The reason why these information are put together is just because these forces are slightly different from the real Eye.
There are some connections between the eyes, and they were all recorded by Marek.
This information gave Leo a deeper understanding of the Silver Moon Lake Alliance, and he even understood this civilized world centered around Silver Moon Lake better than most people in the ten towns.
The Silver Moon Lake District Alliance is a republican country established with Silver Moon Lake as the center. Although there is no country in the name, there is actually no difference in meaning between the alliance and the country.
Except for the special existence of the Wizards Association, the highest power of the alliance is the Alliance Parliament. Just as the people here have an abnormal love for the number ten, the Alliance Parliament has also established ten chief members, and under the chief members, they have also established
There are ten second-seat members, with a total of one hundred and ten seats.
Five of the chief councilors are permanent seats belonging to the Wizards Association, and the remaining five seats belong to the leaders of each guild. More than half of the second-seat councilors are held by nobles from the ten towns, and the rest are divided among the lake towns.
Big businessmen, scholars and military nobles.
The Night's Watch organization is not under the control of the Lake District Alliance. It is independent from the alliance, but has a close relationship with the alliance. Therefore, five observation seats are specially set up in the Alliance Parliament, and are filled by people from the Night's Watch organization.
There is no such thing as religion within the Lake District Alliance as Leo initially thought. In fact, the emergence of fog areas, attacks by fog monsters and other crises surrounding the alliance have made ordinary people in the alliance always in a state of unease.
, and this uneasiness is the best breeding ground for the emergence of religious organizations.
According to the records collected by Marek, in the Seventh Lake Town alone, which is a lower-level lake town within the alliance, there are no less than fifty-four large and small religions spreading in the town.
The Church of the True Eye does not focus on preaching like other religious organizations. They prefer to be businessmen. In addition to producing glasses that can see text, they also sell medicines and other products.
According to records, before the emergence of the Church of the True Eye, although people in this world had a large number of books brought from the other world, no one could read or understand them clearly, so the civilization here was passed down orally.
, until the Eye of Truth appeared, writing gradually became the main way to inherit civilization.
People from the Wizards Association have also tried many times to unravel the manufacturing process of special glasses, but in the end they have been fruitless and can only rely on the output of the True Eye.
It is also the dependence of the entire civilization on special glasses that allows the Eye of Truth to successfully expand in the ten towns and gradually grow into a target that even the Alliance Council must be wary of, and even has to acquiesce to its secret missionary behavior.
From the information provided by Marek, it can be seen that the Eye of Truth has a very deep influence in the town of Seventh Lake. Many nobles are believers of the Eye of Truth, and almost more than half of the city guards and guards have joined.
The remaining half have close contact with the Church of the True Eye. As for the ordinary people at the bottom, not to mention, even if these people are members of other religious organizations, they will still maintain a certain attitude towards the Church of the True Eye.
