The reason why the Church of the True Eye has such a strong influence within the Lake District Alliance is not only because of the glasses that can pass down civilization, but also because of some of the potions produced by the Church of the True Eye.

For example, some potions can help warriors see invisible fog monsters, potions that can help ordinary people successfully complete the ancestral state, etc.

Although the Wizards Association and the Apothecary Association also produce some similar medicines, their effects are obviously much weaker than those of the Church of the True Eye.

What's more important is that some devout followers of the True Eye Church will develop some witchcraft-like abilities, and these abilities are all aimed at fog monsters and play an extraordinary role in discovering and destroying fog monsters.

Leo wouldn't be too surprised if it was just about making potions or special glasses, but being able to give believers some psychic abilities made Leo feel a little strange.

Because according to what he learned from books about religion, gods, etc. in the world of Velen, in the past, the standard used by the Orthodox Church to judge whether there were gods behind a church was whether the devout believers could obtain some abilities from the gods.

If judged according to this standard, there is obviously a real god behind the Eye of Reality Church, and even some other small churches also have gods, because according to the data, almost all the slightly influential small churches have gods that can grant

The ability of the devout power.

"If there is a True Eye god behind the True Eye Church, then what is the one on the outskirts of Miria?" Leo couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw the information compiled by the deputy brain.

Because the Church of the Eye of Truth is also very aware of the concerns and vigilance of the Alliance Council towards them, there is no book promoting doctrine within their church. All doctrines only have one sentence, and all things exist as truth.

Perhaps it is precisely because their teachings are so simple that even those at the bottom who are not True Eye believers know this sentence, which in turn makes True Eye the church with the widest spread and the most people who know it.

Leo has also seen this sentence in many books. Now almost everyone in the Lake District Alliance has regarded this sentence as some kind of proverb or saying. This shows the influence of the Church of the True Eye.

In addition to the people at the bottom, there are also many believers of the True Eye Church in the Lake District Alliance’s nobles, soldiers, chambers of commerce, guilds, and even within the Wizards Association. No wonder when Leo just expressed his doubts about the True Eye Church, Ma

Lake will show such caution and concern. Judging from the above information, the Church of the Eye of Truth is indeed a behemoth.

However, the power within the Church of the True Eye is intertwined and chaotic. Even though its power is huge, it is not a rigorous and powerful organization. Moreover, people from all forces have infiltrated into the Church of the True Eye to serve as high-level officials. Therefore, the Alliance Council has no control over the Church.

The concerns of the True Eye Church only stay at the monitoring stage, and they have not thought about completely erasing the True Eye Church like the Chaos Clearance Society.

Leo also knows very well that the Church of the Eye of Truth is not easy to mess with, but he does not want to confront it head-on. He is just looking for some small mistakes in this church. And this kind of internal management chaos, the church with entangled forces can find no mistakes.

There are simply too many.

Without spending much experience, the assistant brain system found some useful things from some intelligence data.

"Did you find anything?" Marek, who was sitting across from Leo, had already drank a whole bottle of wine. When Leo returned to normal from a state of closed eyes and contemplation, he couldn't wait to ask.

"I made some discoveries." Leo nodded, but he hesitated as if he was worried.

"Is there really a problem?" Marek's face became gloomier. Seeing that Leo seemed reluctant to say it, he made a guess and said, "Is it very involved?"

Leo nodded again and said: "The information you collected is very detailed. I found several doubts from it. Most of these doubts only involve some small chambers of commerce and small forces in the town of Seventh Lake. Only

One place may involve the Ten Towns Merchant Guild, the Mechanics Guild, the Airship Transportation General Chamber of Commerce, the senior officials of the Fog Zone Guard Castle, the high-ranking military nobles of the alliance, and the Wizards Association."

"What? Involving so many forces?" Marek was completely confused by Leo's words. He originally thought that this matter would only involve one or two forces in the town of Seventh Lake, but he never thought that it would involve so many.

, which made him couldn't help but wonder if Leo was exaggerating.

Leo didn't explain much, but directly picked up a file book, quickly turned to the middle page, then pointed to a detailed shipping list, and handed it to Marek.

Marek took it and looked at it. He remembered that this cargo list was collected by his men. It was not very important. Over the past many years, almost every cargo trade between the airship and the Night Watch organization and the Fog Zone Guard Castle was carried out.

, the Chamber of Commerce will carefully record a shipping list, and the parliament’s intelligence personnel in the Chamber of Commerce will also make a copy of the list and submit it.

In Marek's view, this list is just a piece of intelligence information for routine work, so he, like everyone else sitting in the same position, routinely compiled this list into the file without ever thinking about it.

Is there anything fishy about this list?

Although Leo has now pointed out that there are problems with this list, Marek still didn't find anything unusual after reading it carefully.

Without waiting for Marek to ask, Leo pointed and said: "Time."

When Marek heard this, he immediately followed Leo's instructions and carefully looked at the shipping times on the list. At first, he didn't find the problem, but when he looked at it a second time, he quickly noticed it.

I discovered the doubt that Leo mentioned.

Among all the cargo airships, there are only four airships whose cargo time is fixed at four to five marks during the rest period, and it is also the same mark when they return. Within the time range of this mark, everyone in Hushang Town has already

After a complete rest, even the city guards were only conducting routine patrols in the city. No one would carefully check what the cargo was transported by airships arriving at the port during this period.

These four airships belong to a ten-town joint chamber of commerce, but the president and main members of this chamber of commerce are all devout believers in the Eye of Truth. What’s even more interesting is that the ancestors of these people happened to be members of the Chaos Guild back then.

Betrayer. From the intelligence point of view, the sponsors of this chamber of commerce are not only the Eye of Truth, but also the chambers of commerce, guilds, nobles, etc. mentioned by Leo, and among all the sponsors behind the scenes, the most eye-catching one

He is the eighth chief of the Wizards Association.

Marek's mood became a little heavy and he said: "They are probably secretly transporting some contraband. It cannot be said that they are related to the chaos."

Leo asked back: "With the status of these people, what kind of contraband do you think they need to transport in such a secretive manner?"

Marek did not answer. Just as Leo said, not to mention the special status of the eighth chief, even if other behind-the-scenes financiers of the chamber of commerce wanted to transport some contraband, they did not need any cover-up.

Because a chief wizard was involved, Marek had to treat it with caution, but he still shook his head and said: "This little evidence is not enough to prove..."

However, before Marek could finish speaking, Leo quickly turned the page, pointed to a column in the follow-up list, and said, "Look here before talking."

Marek followed Leo's fingers and looked over, only to see that this column was at the end of the list. It was the last time before this month to transport trade supplies from the Fog Area Guard Castle back to Lake Town, and this time it was specifically mentioned

One piece of information is that some retired guard soldiers with sufficient merit returned to the town on the Seventh Lake with the airship.

There is nothing wrong with this piece of information alone, but if you connect this piece of information with other intelligence, the problem becomes bigger. Because according to Marek's understanding, the guards sent by the town of Seventh Lake did not appear this time.

Naturally, it is impossible for soldiers to be awarded medals for their meritorious service and return from the border of the foggy area.

And what makes people feel even more strange is that the day after these meritorious soldiers who should not exist came back, the first murder occurred in the 23rd District. This made Marek couldn't help but think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt.

There is something wrong with this matter.

Just as a strong look of suspicion appeared on Marek's face and he repeatedly looked at the doubtful points in the file, an inexplicable smile appeared on Leo's face.

Just like he forcibly brought the True Eye Church and the Chaos Society together in order to understand the dream world, the so-called doubts about the Joint Chamber of Commerce were also a deliberate trick on his part to confuse Marek's thoughts.

It led to ideological misunderstandings, and the more suspicious he became, the more he felt that the United Chamber of Commerce and the subsequent sponsors were really related to the chaos. In fact, this was just a simple smuggling case.

The Church of the Eye of Truth is indeed very large, but there is no real core within it. The power is widely dispersed, and all forces have spokespersons in it. Due to its rapid expansion, any kind of people can join it, and anyone can join it.

Opportunities to tap into the resources of the real church.

The Joint Chamber of Commerce itself may not have any problems. It is just a link-type cooperative organization created by some behind-the-scenes funders for closer ties. It is not even necessarily for doing business, but just to deliver some mist-only products to the behind-the-scenes funders.

A novelty found only in the area.

And some people in this joint chamber of commerce just use the names of these behind-the-scenes funders to smuggle contraband that can make them a lot of money. In fact, the behind-the-scenes funders of the chamber of commerce and even the senior leaders of the chamber of commerce may not be aware of these things.

They all know nothing.

As for those who were transported for the last time, they were probably not members of the Chaos Society, but real warriors guarding the fog area.

As for why these warriors who have not yet had enough meritorious deeds returned to Hushang Town, it must be to take some private jobs, such as guest assassins, etc. They were hired to kill a certain target, and once the target was eliminated, they could immediately

Leave the town on the lake and return to the fog area to guard the castle.

In this case, given the authority and capabilities of the Hushang Town guards and city guards, it might be difficult to find anything useful.

The reason why Leo was able to see the trick so quickly was because in the Earth Federation, there were countless such things, and it was no longer a secret. Anyone with a little bit of brains could easily see the fishiness in it.

As an outstanding warrior, if Marek could rely on the huge data of the big universe era like Leo, he should also be able to see that the United Chamber of Commerce is not necessarily related to the Chaos Society. Unfortunately, his own knowledge limits his

Thoughts, coupled with Leo's guidance, caused his thinking to fall into misunderstandings, and he fell deeper and deeper. The more he looked through the information in the file, the more he felt that the Eye of Truth was related to chaos, and his face became more and more gloomy.

.

"Bang!" Marek closed the file hard, took a deep breath, and then warned Leo extremely seriously: "Mr. Dodd, please forget all about this matter. I don't want to hear anything outside.

Any rumors related to this."

Leo smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't want to cause trouble, especially at this time."

Marek nodded, then fell silent for a moment and asked, "Sir Dodd, are you interested in serving as a consultant in my department?"

"Consultant? Is he the same as Peter?" Leo asked.

"No, it's different." Marek emphasized: "It's my department."

Leo understood that the department Marek was talking about was not the Security Bureau of District 23, but the secret agent department established by the Alliance Council to monitor various places.

Leo thought for a while and asked in a deep voice: "If I become a consultant, what do I need to do?"

Marek said: "You don't need to do anything, you just need to help me analyze the information in my hand."

Upon hearing this, Leo looked at Marek thoughtfully and said with a smile: "It seems that heroes are not omnipotent."

It is obvious that Marek, who is good at fighting enemies head-on, is not good at clerical work, not to mention that this clerical job requires frequent dealings with some evil-minded people, so even though he has held the position for several years, he still has not been able to get started.

The ability shown by Leo happened to be of great help to his work, so he suddenly asked Leo about his intention.

Marek's face immediately became a little embarrassed when he was hit. He wanted to refute, but he didn't have enough confidence. He coughed twice and asked in embarrassment: "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether you agree or not?"

Leo also knew that enough was enough, otherwise the other party would definitely become angry if he continued, so he changed the topic back to a practical issue and asked: "What benefits can I get?"

"Get my friendship." Marek said confidently.

"Director Marek, are you kidding?" Leo looked at Marek calmly and said, "But this joke is not funny at all."

Marek smiled and said: "Of course, in addition to my friendship, you will also receive a large amount of remuneration, which can also be used to purchase some things that cannot be bought by the outside world, such as medicines, weapons, etc."

Leo looked at Marek with interest and said, "Do you know what I'm doing here?"

"I didn't know before that so many outsiders appeared at the same time. Naturally, I had to investigate, but I never found out the reason." Marek shook his head and said, "It wasn't until you mentioned the abandoned capital just now that I
Chapter completed!
