Just now, Leo suddenly wanted to understand something. He found that the changes in his body and soul also caused changes in his personality and affected some of his methods of doing things. In fact, the things he was facing now were very complicated.

It's simple, just follow the way you did things before.

His purpose is to find the Ring of Plague. As for whether Ljungberg is related to the experiments at the medical school, what taboo experiments are being conducted at the medical school, and what plans the blood wizard is planning in this. What is the relationship between the French Empire and the United Kingdom?

What is Leia City's attitude? These have nothing to do with him. There is no need for him to pay attention to these things, as long as he finds the Ring of Plague.

Leo, who wanted to understand this, didn't even think about finding other outside help, and went directly to the old mines in the northern suburbs of Miria City. Although, there is no evidence to directly prove that the Ring of Plague is really in the hands of the medical school.

, but judging from various circumstantial evidence, it is most likely that it was in the hands of the medical school.

Now, I am afraid that the members of the medical school who are responsible for all the experimental work have left Miria City, but the places that provided them with experiments cannot be taken away with them. Moreover, they left in a hurry, and they will definitely leave some traces at these experimental sites.

They can be used as clues, so directly investigating these test sites personally is the most appropriate course of action.

The old mine mentioned by Roger the Wild Dog is not very far from the urban area of ​​Miria City. At first, it was just a quarry that provided building materials for the construction of Miria City. However, later, some more were discovered here.

Precious metal mines, so their functions have also changed.

However, the easiest part of the ore in the mine has been mined. If you want to continue digging, you need to go deeper into the ground. And based on the situation at that time, the excavation depth of the old mine has reached the limit. If you continue to dig, dig.

The likelihood of an accident is also much greater.

Therefore, the mine owner had to stop mining and could not restart quarrying. In addition to the fact that the city construction had found a new and better quarry, more importantly, the city had expanded to this area and continued to mine.

Mining would affect the lives of people in the urban area. In the end, the mine owner had no choice but to buy the old mine into the Milia City Municipal Council, and the mine was completely abandoned.

Although the mine has become a public resource and was abandoned by the city council, the mining activity did not end. Many people living in poverty in Miria City will come to the depths of the mine to dig for some raw precious metals.

, sell them to the city to make jewelry or a blacksmith shop in exchange for some money needed for survival.

This mine has already exhausted all the ores that are most likely to be mined, and most of the remaining ores are scattered widely. It is almost impossible to find a complete ore vein of huge value in the mine, and then fill your stomach overnight.

.The harvest of a miner in a day, if you are lucky, you can make a small fortune, but if you are unlucky, you can just make ends meet.

Because most of the people who mine are not professional miners, the mining process is very rough and there are not many protective measures, resulting in frequent accidents deep in the mines.

I don’t know if it’s because so many people died in the mines that the environment there has changed. In short, many miners will always see the ghosts of some dead miners when they enter the depths of the mines.

, they will mingle among the miners and mine together. The miners will not have any abnormal feelings about this at the time. They will not find anything wrong until they leave the mine tunnel and return to the ground. And these people who encounter the ghosts of the miners will definitely

Most people will become seriously ill afterwards, and even if they are cured, their physical condition will never be the same as before.

After this incident spread, a rumor quickly arose in Milia City. This rumor said that the miners who encountered ghosts had actually had their vitality sucked away by the ghosts. Even though they seemed to have been cured now, in fact

The loss has not been replenished at all, and the loss of vitality will not only affect physical health, but also affect life span.

Perhaps to prove this rumor, all the people who met the ghosts of miners in the mines were without exception suffering from illness and died of illness within a few years. The oldest among them was only thirty-six years old.

It was precisely because of this incident that the mine was completely abandoned, and it was not reused until this time when the imperial army entered Miria City.

The French Imperial Army chose the area around this old mine as a camp base not only because it was a large train transfer station built to transport stone. By mastering this place, they can easily control most of the railway lines at the north and south ends.

.

What's more important is that there are still barracks built in the former quarries. At that time, this was still a dense virgin forest, and there were many ferocious beasts wandering around. Therefore, the walls of the barracks at that time were made of the best and strongest materials.

Made of stone, it has been well preserved even after so many years and can be used directly.

It took Leo about four hours to walk from the city to the city where the old mine was located. The reason it took so long was because he sent some spies who were following him along the way.

It's a pity that the spies he sent were just the lowest level of eyes and ears. A few months ago, they were just ordinary residents of Miria City, but now they had to be hired by some people to be eyes and ears in order to have a bite to eat, so

They couldn't help but not knowing who the force they belonged to was, and they didn't even know who assigned them the mission.

Leo learned from their mouths that those who hired them all hid their appearance, body shape and voice, and it was impossible to judge the identity or even gender of the other person from their appearance. The only thing that was certain was that these eyes and ears who were used as consumables should be employed by

At least two different forces.

Leo had no intention of finding out what forces were monitoring him, because he knew very well that the moment he showed up at the medical school's medical aid clinic without any cover, he would definitely be watched by some interested people, plus he came into contact with the blood wizard.

There is no cover, so it is not strange to be noticed.

These eyes and ears were not killed by Leo, but he let them go, not because Leo was kind-hearted, but because he felt that killing these people would be of no use.

However, when he let these people go, these people who escaped gave him some surprises. The biggest surprise was that the blood wizard's guess might be true, because one of the people who were let go had not long ago.

One of the aid doctors who treated him was seen on the black market. Although he did not directly see the doctor being sent to the smuggling ship in the black market, judging from that time, it was possible that the doctor left on the smuggling ship.

Very big.

After arriving at the old mine, Leo did not immediately enter the mine tunnel to search for various clues left behind by the medical school, because someone had already done so for him.

I saw that the old mine was tightly guarded by the imperial army at this moment. Large tents covered the bottom of the mine. Some people dressed like scientists and scholars were coming in and out of the tents. In addition, there were a large number of imperial troops.

The garrison troops recruited by Miria City acted as coolies, carrying boxes of various sizes into the tents.

Leo used the shadow cloak to hide in a tree not far from the camp, and then used his spiritual vision skills and spiritual net to observe the situation inside the camp. He soon discovered several interesting things.

First of all, those ordinary-looking large tents in the camp at the bottom of the mine are actually not simple at all. The fabric used in those tents should have been added with the interference metal that Leo obtained from the clinic before, because Leo's spirit

The net cannot penetrate these fabrics. When the spiritual energy of the mental net comes close, the reaction is the same as the reaction when it is close to the metal plate.

In addition, Leo found a large number of Familia among the guards inside the camp. This number accounted for almost two-thirds of all guards, more than sixty people, and most of them had obvious Familia-like features, such as

There are some extra organs, some organs have changed, etc.

Among these Familia, nearly half have the same spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies, and the mutated organs in these half of the Familia are also similar. Obviously, if divided according to the type of Familia, these Familia should be of the same clan. And

Leo had seen these same kind of Familia before, the two Familia soldiers he saw chasing down United Kingdom soldiers when he just returned to the world of Velen.

In addition, the relationship between these Familias also gave Leo some ideas, because those Familia with different mutated organs showed obvious contempt and disdain for those Familia groups that should be of the same type.

It's like looking at something disgusting.

Several Familia clashed in a camp not far from where Leo was hiding. One of the Familia called another Familia an artificial freak, which made Leo feel that his guess might be right. Those psychic powers were the same.

The Familia with similar mutations are the Familia groups created by the French Empire.

Because of his experience in the dream world and spending so much time with the ancestral residents of Hushang Town, Leo at this moment has a certain understanding of the special ethnic group of the Familia.

According to his understanding, the Familia are people whose bloodline or certain organs contain the genes of higher life forms. For some reason, the genes changed from recessive to dominant and merged with the original human genes. Eventually, Familia and Ancestors appeared.

status.

However, judging from the current artificial Familia, Leo's creation of the Familia is obviously too one-sided and too scientific. After all, with the empire's current technology and medical level, it is absolutely impossible to involve genetic modification, and it is still advanced.

Fusion technology of genes and lower genes.

"I'm afraid that the manufacturing technology of these Familia should still be derived from the technology of Ability God Cells, but this technology is more mature, safer, and has a higher success rate." Leo watched the Familiar fight after the argument.

During the process, he murmured in his heart: "I just don't know if this kind of artificial family still has the potential to evolve again?"

By watching the battles between these Familia, Leo discovered that the power of the artificial Familia was almost the same as that of the normal Familia, but this was only in terms of physical strength. The gap between the two became obvious in terms of spiritual energy. Even the artificial Familia had

Unable to use one's own psychic powers normally.

If confirming that the French Empire indeed has the ability to create Familia is a big gain, then finding out what the experiments conducted by the medical school here are and the whereabouts of the Eye of Truth is another big gain for Leo.

However, after repeatedly confirming that he was not mistaken about the medical school's experimental plan, Leo couldn't help but be surprised by the medical school's arrogance, because the medical school's experimental plan was to create gods, and the materials they used in Miria City were

Body tissue derived from the body of the True Eye.

Although the spiritual network and spiritual vision cannot detect the situation inside the tents, those tents cannot block Leo's hearing. Through the expansion control of the auditory organs, Leo's hearing coverage can easily cover the entire mine camp.

in.

By eavesdropping on casual conversations between people in various tents, Leo easily grasped a large amount of information that even the blood wizards could not master.

Leo heard about the God-making Plan, a secret experiment in the medical school, from an undercover agent stationed by the empire at the medical school. The undercover agent was currently in a tightly guarded tent, reporting to the person in charge of the camp what he had collected during this period.

information received.

However, this undercover agent is obviously not taken seriously by the medical school. He spends a lot of energy and material resources and can still only wander around the periphery. He is unable to enter the core of the God-making Project experimental group. Even the name of this God-making Project is

He found out at the cost of the lives of two colleagues.

As for the fact that the body tissue of the Eye of Truth was part of the test material, he only heard about it through hearsay, and there was no substantial witness or material evidence. On the contrary, after he said it, the person in charge of the camp did not reprimand such people.

He said that his words were nonsense, but he snorted slightly to express his agreement with this statement.

The attitude of the camp leader also means that Leo is sure that the body of the Eye of Truth is now in the hands of the medical school.

The reason why Leo confirmed this speculation based on one person's attitude was mainly because the identity of the person in charge of the camp was different.

Back then, when chatting with old man Rembrandt, he once mentioned a few people he admired most in his life, and even took out the portraits cut out from the newspaper to show only to Leo, and there were only a few people in charge of this camp.

One of the people Rembrandt really admired was Sir Bassac Darwin.

This knight was once the editor-in-chief of medical classics and various medical books at the medical school. He was also the most vile heretic at the top of the list of heretics in the Orthodox Church.

The reason why Sir Darwin became the first heretic was not because he did anything evil and killed many people, but because he published a book on The Origin of Life that he had been planning for many years when he was the editor-in-chief of the medical school.

This book should be said to be an expanded version of Crouch's The Long River of Life. The content not only describes in detail the various changes in life, but also very definitely believes that human beings were originally marine creatures and were very weak.
