Chapter 294 The New Lady Believers

Regardless of the reason why there is no psychic jamming device inside the Governor's Palace of the French Empire, it is a good thing for Leo now. He can easily grasp the location and movements of everyone in every mansion through the spiritual network.

, this allows him to walk around and search the Governor's Mansion as he likes in a self-driving garden.

This Governor's Mansion is very large, with more than 3,000 rooms in the main building alone. This does not include the secret rooms. If the secret rooms and rooms in the auxiliary building are added, the total number of rooms will exceed 5,000.

Because of the banquet being held, most of the people in the mansion were concentrated in the banquet hall and lounge lighting area. As for other guest rooms, bedrooms and other rooms, except for a few others, they were all vacant. There were Governor's Mansion guards patrolling the corridors.

Although the guard patrol routes are perfectly laid out, and almost every aisle can be guarded by one or two guards at any time, people are not machines after all, and they cannot cooperate so seamlessly. When they patrol, they will always cause problems due to themselves or others.

dislocation.

Leo easily found the loopholes in these patrol routes and quickly searched for some useful clues in the mansion.

After entering the Governor's Mansion, the elegant lady believer that Leo discovered before walked directly into the mansion, took various cakes and drinks from the maid, and walked towards the Governor's study.

On the way, he met many people, including servants of the Governor's Mansion and some guests. These people seemed to know him. The servants would salute very respectfully, and the guests would also take the initiative to nod and say hello to him. Depending on the situation, he was there.

The status of the Governor's Palace should not be low.

Leo followed the servant, avoiding the guards in the corridor, until he reached the governor's study.

Compared with other important rooms in the Governor's Mansion, this study is obviously much smaller, and half of the area is used as an exhibition hall to display the achievements and trophies collected by the Governor-General in past wars. You can view it from

The style of the study shows that the governor appointed by the French Empire was a traditional knight noble with a long heritage, and he was also a hawkish noble.

After entering the study, the servant put the dinner plate on the table, took out the wine glass, got a glass of wine, and then stood quietly by the door, as if waiting for something.

About ten minutes later, a bookcase next to the window suddenly opened automatically, and a richly dressed young man walked out of the secret room behind the bookcase. His face looked very tired, and his brows were furrowed, as if he had been disturbed by something.

Things are bothering me.

At this moment, Leo, who was outside the study, seemed a little surprised by the appearance of this young man, or to be more correct, surprised by the existence of a secret room in the study. In his mental network scan, the thing inside the study was very ordinary.

, there is no place like a secret room at all, and the thickness of the walls around the study makes it impossible for facilities such as passages to exist.

What's even weirder is that even though the scene of the young man walking out of the secret room behind the bookcase happened in Leo's mental network perception, he still couldn't discover the existence of the secret room. In the feedback information from his mental network, it was just a trace.

Just a regular wall fan.

"The elegant lady's dressing room!" This scene allowed Leo to quickly find a reasonable explanation from the knowledge of the web spinner.

Although in theory, opening up a demiplane is an ability that every god should have, in fact, there are very few gods who can truly open up a demiplane on their own, and gods who can freely open up a demiplane are even rarer.

, and Elegant Lady happens to be one of them.

When the belief in the Elegant Lady was at its most popular, the Church of the Elegant Lady would reward some devout believers with reputation, merit and contribution with some magical items, and among them was a magical item called the Elegant Lady's Dressing Room.

The function of this magical artifact is to create a demiplane secret room, and only the owner of the magical object can freely enter and exit this secret room. Not only can others not use it, but they can't even see it.

Although the number of such demiplane rare objects is not large, it is still quite a lot. According to the records of the web weaver's knowledge, the Elegant Lady Church has given away six in name, but how many have been given away secretly is still unknown.

However, one thing is certain, all those who obtain Lady Elegant's dressing room are devout believers of Lady Elegant Church, and are also the absolute top leaders within the church, and only devout believers of Lady Elegant can use this magical artifact.

This is different from Wizard's Rare Items.

Now that he saw the elegant lady's dressing room, Leo was sure of at least two things. One was that this young man was definitely a devout believer of the elegant lady, but he just didn't know if he was the target he was looking for. The second thing was that

It is certain that Lady Elegant still exists and is still alive and well, because this kind of magical object, especially the demi-plane wonder, requires the divine power of Lady Elegant to support its existence. Otherwise, this magical object will be just like a waste.

No difference.

The young man was not surprised that the servant would appear in the study. He walked directly to the desk, drank the wine in the quilt, then reached out to take the towel handed by the servant, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and picked up a

He threw a piece of pastry into his mouth, and then asked: "Have those little guys been fed?"

"Already fed, Master." the servant replied.

The young man casually sat on the edge of the desk, eating, and asked, "What happened in the city recently?"

The servant took out a small notebook from his arms and said, "Sir George's goods were lost and he was very angry. He has been making trouble at the police station for the past two days."

"Sir George's goods, you are talking about the batch of materials shipped from the Moissan continent." The young man frowned and asked.

"Yes." The servant nodded.

The young man sneered and said: "Go to the police station later and tell Director Albert that there is no need to take care of this matter. The empire has explicitly banned slave smuggling, and he still wants to commit crimes despite the law.

It’s no use having the Academy of Sciences behind you.”

The servant said with some worry: "If we do this, we and the Academy of Sciences..."

"Ignore them, they are just a bunch of blasphemers. Sooner or later they will regret what they have done." The young man seemed to hate the Imperial Academy of Sciences very much, with extremely obvious contempt on his face and tone.

The servant did not answer the young man's words. Although he was thinking the same thing as the young man, he would not speak out and cause trouble.

Afterwards, the servant continued to introduce the young man to the recent events in the city, saying: "The Manatee captured a giant squid. It is said that the total length exceeds that of a small dreadnought."

"The General Chamber of Commerce has decided to print another 50 million Vinaya coins and put them into the market to meet the amount of money needed for business in the recent period."

"A great plague has broken out in Miria City. The death toll has reached 3,000 people and is still increasing rapidly. Now Miria City has been completely sealed off. No one needs to enter or come out."

"The antique shop of the Holy Blood Society was robbed not long ago. The Holy Blood Society suspects that it was an insider and is investigating..."

"Wait!" The young man suddenly stopped the servant and asked in a deep voice: "Did you just say that the holy blood will be robbed?"

The servant corrected: "It's not the Holy Blood Society, it's the Holy Blood Society's antique shop."

"It's all the same, it's all the same." The young man waved his hand to signal the servant not to be so pretentious, and then he asked about the situation in detail.

The servant seemed to know that the young man was interested in this matter, so he had prepared his homework in advance. Except that Leo's existence was reduced to that of an ordinary guest, the rest of the content was very close to the facts at the time.

"No," after hearing this, the young man immediately shook his head in denial and said, "It was definitely not done by someone within the Holy Blood Society."

"Why?" The servant was stunned.

Leo, who was eavesdropping outside the study, was also stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Isn't he the one who robbed things?"

"Because it's too obvious." The young man habitually touched the short beard on his chin and said: "If you have the guts to rob the antique store of the Holy Blood Society, you are definitely not a stupid guy. You must have been peeping for a long time, and now you almost don't

You need to think more. After hearing about this incident, my first thought was that an insider committed the crime, so this possibility is the smallest."

At this moment, a servant suddenly walked over from the corridor outside the study. This man came to the outside of the study, knocked on the door, and after getting permission, opened the door and entered, and then said to the people inside: "Master, Rhodes

Butler, someone just handed this envelope to the guard at the door, saying that he had important information to give to Butler Rhodes."

Butler Rhodes frowned and took the envelope over. He waved his hand to indicate that the servant could leave. Then he opened the envelope and read the contents. The look on his face became very serious. Then he handed over the letter with the information.

The young man also said: "Just now, Doris led her men to the Holy Blood Society in person to express that the matter at the Holy Blood Society's antique store has nothing to do with them and is willing to cooperate with the Holy Blood Society to investigate this matter."

The young man read the contents of the letter, with a puzzled look on his face, and said, "How come Doris is involved in this matter? Is she crazy? It has nothing to do with her, so I'll get involved myself."

"I think Doris is not crazy. She must know something that we don't know." Butler Rhodes looked very serious and said in a deep voice: "She should have received the news. This matter may be from Ms.'s followers."

What you did.”

The young man immediately denied: "It's impossible. Apart from us and them, there are no other female believers in Vinaya City."

"No, didn't you read the information I gave you a few days ago?" Butler Rhodes walked to the desk, took out a document from a pile of documents, placed it in front of the young man, and said, "These past few months

, there have been many thefts in the city of Vinaya, but the murderer has not been caught so far. I went to the scene and found that the people who committed these thefts were probably female believers who believed in thieves."

"Damn it!" The young man's face became extremely serious. He sat up from his chair and walked back and forth in the study, looking very anxious and worried.

The young man is not worried about being involved in this matter. Although the Holy Blood Society is very powerful in Vinaya Port, as a young man, even if he is involved, nothing will happen to him. Really let him

What he is worried about is that if he is involved in this matter, some of his plans in Vinaya Port may be exposed, and it may also affect some of the ongoing affairs of the empire. In that case, he will be in big trouble.

.

"Can you find out who did it?" the young man asked in a deep voice.

"There are no clues." Steward Rhodes shook his head and said calmly: "Before, I tried to find the person who committed those thefts, but found nothing. Although I could feel that this person was walking around us

, but it’s always one step behind.”

The young man's face became much gloomier. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Go to the Holy Blood Society in person and express your concern on this matter in the name of the Governor's Palace and tell the people of the Holy Blood Society.

, we are willing to assist them in their investigation."

Butler Rhodes hesitated a little and said, "Would this be too much? Besides, if we do this, it seems..."

The young man shook his head and said: "Instead of passively letting them find out something, we should actively cooperate. Even if some of our affairs are exposed, as long as it does not involve the empire's plan, there will be no big problem."

"I'll do it right away." Steward Rhodes responded, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." The young man suddenly stopped Butler Rhodes and asked, "Do you know what the Holy Blood Club threw?"

"Three skull bowls." Steward Rhodes replied, "Those are the three skull bowls that make people go crazy."

"What?" After hearing this, the young man's expression suddenly changed.

Steward Rhodes saw the problem from the young man's expression and asked with concern: "Is there something wrong with these three skull bowls?"

"Of course, there is a problem, it's a big problem." The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Just now someone sent me a set of gifts, and that set of gifts were the three skull bowls."

Butler Rhodes opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He was silent for a moment and asked: "If I guess correctly, you don't know who gave this gift?"

The young man had an embarrassed expression on his face, and glared at his housekeeper with some annoyance. Apparently, the housekeeper guessed it right. At that time, he was habitually focused on receiving the gift into the secret room and completely forgot about other things.

"What should we do now?" Butler Rhodes looked at his master helplessly, and said in as calm a tone as possible: "I remember that you tried to buy these three skull bowls, but the Governor did not allow it.

This matter will be left unsolved. But there must be records of you in that antique shop, so they should also find you." After saying that, he paused and asked tentatively: "You

Let’s see if you can return the things first…”

"No, the things sent into the secret room belong to me, no matter what their origins are." The young man rejected Butler Rhodes's proposal, then thought about it and said, "You should follow my previous instructions and deal with the Holy Blood first."

I will contact you. This matter is by no means just an ordinary case. The person who did this may have a conspiracy against Vinaya Port and is targeting all the forces in Vinaya Port. Since they are already involved

, let’s be proactive, maybe we can find something useful.”
