Chapter 300 Shock
As for Leo, he won the bet. He would leave as soon as he got the bet and no longer care about the affairs in Vinaya City. No matter what conspiracy there was, he would ignore it.
But for other people in Vinaya City, especially the Holy Blood Society, the victims of this robbery, trouble has just arrived, such as how they want to deal with the still unconscious Richard Weston.
Although Richard Weston was only a knight, not a hereditary noble, and his father was only a court noble without a fief, the problem was that the emperor of the French Empire trusted his finance minister very much, and could not do without his finances.
Minister.
If the Holy Blood Council does not treat Richard Weston appropriately, then the newly restored and rebuilt Vinaya Port may be at war again. This pair of Holy Bloods who already regard Vinaya Port as their home
That would definitely be bad news.
However, if Richard Weston is let go just like this, the reputation of the Holy Blood Society may be severely damaged, and it may even shake the foundation of the Holy Blood Society in Vinaya Port.
All the senior leaders of the Holy Blood Society were present. They knew very well what the Holy Blood Society relied on for its establishment in Vinaya Port and its smooth development. If the antique shop located so close to the Holy Blood Society's residence was robbed this time, they would find
If they find the murderer, but dare not do anything because the murderer is a powerful person in the French Empire, it doesn't matter what other people think of them. What is important is what the supporters behind the Holy Blood Society think of them.
of.
For a time, the discussion in the room changed from how to find the murderer to how to deal with this big trouble. Leo, a meritorious official who helped the Holy Blood Society find the thief, actually became a trouble in the eyes of the senior leaders of the Holy Blood Society.
Characters. Some of these people know about Leo. At this moment, they all agree with Leo's title of troublemaker. The only thing that worries them is that this time the victim becomes them.
.
While the people in the room were discussing endlessly, Fernando, who had left before, returned to the room, but he had a few more boxes in his hands.
After walking in, he did not hand over the bet in his hand to Leo, but deliberately bypassed Leo, walked to the conference table in the room, placed the boxes on the table one by one, and said loudly: "This is
The bet I lost, the two Wizzrik items and the three skull bowls that were stolen this time."
The attention of the people present was immediately attracted by Fernando's shout, and they looked at the three boxes that Fernando had deliberately placed in prominent positions.
Leo naturally knew what Fernando was planning. He smiled rather disdainfully and ignored the gazes of the people around him. He walked directly to the table, stacked the boxes together, held them in his arms, and prepared to turn around and leave.
.
At this time, a senior member of the Holy Blood Society with a pair of insect compound eyes suddenly spoke up and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency Leo Dodd."
"Is something wrong?" Leo, who had long expected to be blocked, stopped and turned around to look calmly at the family member who spoke.
The Holy Blood Society executive pointed to the three boxes containing the skull bowls and asked knowingly: "The three skull bowls in your hands should be the items that were lost in our Holy Blood Society store this time, right?"
"Yes." Leo didn't bother to deny or quibble, he nodded and admitted, and then asked: "So what?"
"Shouldn't Mr. Dodd return our things to us?" Another senior member of the Holy Blood Society disliked Leo's tone and said in a deep voice.
Leo smiled, walked back to the table, put the three skull bowl boxes in his hands back on the table, then glanced at the senior officials of the Holy Blood Society present with an extremely obvious look of contempt, and said: "Things are just
Leave it here, if you feel brave enough to take it back, then come and take it! I will never stop you."
Hearing what Leo said, the senior leaders of the Holy Blood Society who were about to step forward to take away the box also stopped. They all had gloomy faces, looking at the box with the same eyes as they looked at Richard Weston.
This thing is considered a hot potato.
"Boy, take this thing away! Consider it a gift from our Holy Blood Society." At this time, a black shadow flew out from behind a door, landed on the table, and said to Leo.
"Lord Crow." Everyone saw the crow appear and saluted it.
Doris on the side seemed to also know the reputation of the crow of the Holy Blood Society, and she did not look down upon him at all because he was a bird. She led her men and also saluted the crow.
On the contrary, Fernando looked at the crow as if it were a rare object. It was obvious that he regarded the crow as a church creature such as Richard Weston's black cat, and did not regard it as an equal intelligent creature.
"Boy, I don't like the look in your eyes. Although you have the favor of that lady, if you piss me off, it's useless even if the lady comes forward." Crow threatened Fernando, who had a somewhat rude look in his eyes, and then didn't wait.
The other party reacted, turned around and said to the higher-ups of the Holy Blood Society: "It seems that the life here has turned all of you into ooze beasts. You don't have the ability to find stolen items and thieves, so you blame others for being troublesome.
If you still want to take away other people’s trophies, do you still want to lose face?”
The angry voice of the crow made everyone present at the Holy Blood Society feel an inexplicable pressure. Others who were not directly targeted could also clearly feel the fear of the crow, but they did not know exactly what the fear was.
Only Leo can clearly realize that the crow's power is purely the life-level pressure of upper-level life forms on lower-level life forms, and all life forms that can produce this kind of life-level pressure have evolved to the seventh level of spiritual power.
It is an advanced life above that, which means that this seemingly ordinary coercion is almost the same as the Eye of Truth that has been trapped for many years in terms of life level.
The high life level of the crow also surprised Leo. Although he had guessed the strength of the crow before, he never thought that the crow would have such a high life level. If calculated according to such a life level, the crow would be in Velen.
The world is almost a god.
Crow obviously did not expect that he would show off his power to the senior leaders of the Holy Blood Society, but would expose his true identity to Leo.
After scolding the people of the Holy Blood Society, it turned to Leo and said, "Take the thing away! Since you found it, it belongs to you."
Leo didn't say anything, just picked up the things, turned around and left the room. After walking a certain distance, his tense body relaxed a little.
Compared with others who can only feel the pressure from higher life forms like black cats, Leo feels more things. He especially the pressure from this life form also has an impact on him.
The bloodline of the Throne had some effects. He felt that the blood on his body turned into lava and flowed rapidly through the blood vessels, and his mind also became a little groggy, as if he had a bad cold.
Feeling that something was wrong with his body, Leo couldn't help but quicken his pace. After leaving the Holy Blood Society's station, he walked non-stop towards the hotel where he was. Because of his poor condition, he was unable to use any witchcraft, even running.
He couldn't, and it was late at night, and not even a carriage could be stopped on the street. He had to take a shortcut and take a shortcut through some alleys.
"Damn it!" After walking to a path near the edge of the city, Leo found that the scene in front of him began to shake. He held the five boxes in his hand that could not be stored in the storage space and all fell to the ground. His body also seemed to be shaking.
All the strength was taken away and he could no longer support himself. He had to lean on the wall next to him to barely stand firm.
At this time, several street gangsters who had just experienced a fight came from the opposite side and walked toward the alley where Leo was, talking about how they beat people to death.
After these people turned the corner of the alley, they immediately saw Leo leaning against the wall. At first, they were all taken aback by the tall figure that suddenly appeared. After all, in this city where the Familia often appear,
There are inevitably some mysterious urban legends, and Leo is also regarded as a character in a certain urban legend by these people.
The frightened gangsters took out their weapons and looked at Leo warily. Leo was completely unable to react at this moment. The only thing he could do was to lean against the wall to support his body.
"Damn it, he's a drunkard!" Seeing Leo staggering against the wall and trying to hold his body up from slipping, one of the gangsters made a mistake and muttered, and then boldly walked towards Leo.
He went over, looked at Leo, and pushed Leo's body hard. Although he couldn't push Leo, he could still feel that Leo was not a threat.
Seeing that there was no danger, the other gangsters also joined in. One of the shrewder gangsters didn't smell any alcohol coming from Leo, and seeing Leo's groggy look, he couldn't help but worry: "This guy should
Is he suffering from some disease? I heard that there is a plague in Miria City in the north. Could this guy be a refugee who escaped from Miria City? "
"No way!" Everyone was shocked and avoided Leo. Although they had never experienced the Great Plague, they had grown up listening to horror stories about the Great Plague, and their fear of the plague had already been deeply rooted in them.
Their bone marrow made them shudder just by hearing the word plague.
"Don't talk nonsense. If there is really a plague, it would have been discovered long ago." The bold gangster calmed down his worried mood and comforted himself a few words. However, even though he said there was no plague, he was no longer aware of it.
Dare to get close to Leo.
At this time, he discovered several boxes at Leo's feet and immediately said in surprise: "Look at those boxes?"
As he said that, he took the lead in picking up two boxes, both of which were used to store skull bowls, while others also picked up the boxes on the ground.
"The box is already so exquisite. There must be good things inside." The bold gangster took advantage of the moonlight and looked at the surface of the box with a look of joy on his face. Then as he spoke, he couldn't wait to put it in.
The box is opened.
Others also stretched their heads over and looked disappointed when they saw a bowl-shaped object in the box. The bold gangster reluctantly took out the skull bowl from the box and looked at it again.
After finding that there were no other items inside the box, I couldn't help but curse a few words.
"Did you hear anything?" Just as a few gangsters were about to open other boxes, a gangster suddenly asked his companions.
The companion rolled his eyes and said, "What sound? Are you... Hey, there seems to be some sound."
Immediately afterwards, other people also said that they heard some voices. Those voices were like someone saying something incomprehensible in their ears, which made them feel upset, but that voice seemed to have some kind of magic power.
, making them want to continue listening and immerse themselves in listening.
These gangsters didn't realize that when they were completely immersed in that muttering sound, the blood vessels in their bodies seemed to have been injected with a ball of ink, starting from the nerve endings of their fingers and gradually upwards, slowly spreading throughout their bodies, far and wide.
From a distance, it looks like these gangsters have weird patterns tattooed on their bodies.
When these black patterns spread to their heads, they also completely lost their humanity and sanity. Their eyes were filled with blood and turned red. Each of them roared like a wild beast. Fortunately, the location here is remote and the surroundings
They were all small factories without people, so they didn’t alarm anyone.
After these gangsters who needed to vent their crazy thoughts couldn't find anyone to vent to, they targeted Leo. The gangster closest to Leo immediately rushed toward Leo, opened his mouth, and pointed at Leo.
He bit Leo's neck, as if he was treating Leo as food.
However, before the gangster could touch Leo's body, a hand grabbed his head and pinned him in the air. The power of the palm was so strong that no matter how hard the gangster struggled, he could not break free.
Leo, the owner of the palm, seemed to be in some kind of abnormal state at this moment. His eyes turned completely black, and spiritual energy gathered into a stone throne above his head. An invisible power emanated from his body,
The surrounding gangsters who have gone crazy are wrapped in it.
The life suppression from higher organisms has acted on these crazy gangsters. Even if they have all lost their minds now, the instinctive reaction from life still makes them have to lie on the ground under this invisible power, no matter how hard they are,
Dare to move.
"Hungry!" Leo looked at these gangsters lying on the ground, with no expression on his face. He just said one word, and then opened his mouth slightly.
The moment he opened his mouth, all the gangsters in front of him aged rapidly. In less than a minute, they had aged beyond human shape, as if their lives had been sucked away by Leo, and in the end they turned into dust.
, scattered on the ground.
At this time, Leo seemed not to be satisfied yet. He turned his head and looked towards the center of the city, as if the countless lives there could fill his belly.
But when he was about to step out, he suddenly stopped. His body seemed to have turned into a stiff stone and remained motionless. After a while, he heard him let out a long breath and held his hand on the wall again.
