Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty One Questions and Concerns
"Tell me if that place really exists? Where is it?" Frank Forson quickly recovered from his laughter and asked Leo excitedly again.
"Is that important to you?" Leo asked.
"Of course it's important, I..." Frank Fussen was about to tell the reason why he was so concerned about Yam Island, when he suddenly seemed to have some concerns. He was forcibly stopped when his words reached his mouth, and he looked at him with a slightly suspicious look.
Looking at Leo, he said: "What is your intention in telling me this? What do you know?"
Seeing Frank Fossen like this, Leo vaguely felt that things about Yam Island should have touched Frank Fossen's deepest privacy, so after the initial excitement, Frank Fossen calmed down and told Leo
There was a faint hint of hostility.
It’s no wonder that Frank Forson is like this. After all, a stranger who has just come into contact suddenly knows your most private things. Anyone will become suspicious after calming down and wonder whether the other party has an agenda. As the director of the Special Bureau,
Suspiciousness is more intense.
Leo asked back: "What do you think I should have?" As he said, he pointed to the paper in Frank Forson's hand and said: "I just want to know if you know the meaning of this symbol? If you think this
Whatever the question offends you, you can leave immediately without having to have any conversation with me at all, what do you think?"
Frank Forson fell silent again, staring at Leo, the expression in his eyes changing continuously, sometimes fierce, sometimes worried, but mostly hesitant.
In the end, Frank Forson chose to tell his secret because he knew very well that if he missed Leo, he might never have the chance to solve his current problems.
"The reason why I want to retire is entirely because I want to find that island," Frank Fossen said with an extremely serious expression: "Because my power comes from that island, and now there is a problem with my power.
So I need to go to sea and find that island. Only by finding that island can I solve my problems."
Although Frank Fossen's words were vague and did not reveal much substantive content, Leo had already heard the problem with Frank Fossen from these words, and he was more certain that Frank Fossen
·Fusen’s power should come from the parasitism of holy insects.
However, there is now a problem with the parasitic holy insect, which forces Frank Forson to give up everything he has now and search for the source of power and a solution to the problem.
Therefore, Leo also revealed a little bit of the content appropriately and said: "That island is called Yam Island."
"Yam Island?" After Frank Forson heard the name, he immediately fell into memories. After a while, he regained his consciousness and murmured to himself: "Yes! Yes! It's Yam Island,
That's Yam Island!" As he said that, he looked at Leo expectantly and asked, "Since Mr. Leo knows the name of that island, he must also know where that island is?"
Leo did not answer immediately, but asked: "As far as I know, this is not your first time going to Yam Island. Why does it seem that you don't know how to get there?"
Frank Fussen smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I have been to that island twice before, but my memory of both times has problems. I don't know how I went there, and I don't know how I came back? Even for that island All the memories of the island are only fragments. If you don’t mention it, I can’t even remember the name of the island.”
Leo asked straight to the point: "I would like to ask a question, did you get your strength by being parasitized by some kind of insect?"
"You?" Frank Forson looked at Leo in surprise, and tried to guess: "Sir Leo, your power also comes from..."
"No." Before Frank Fossen could finish his question, Leo shook his head and said, "But I know some things about there. With all due respect, even if you go to sea, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach Yam Island again. .”
"Why?" Frank Forson asked.
"Because as far as I know, Yam Island has been destroyed," Leo said a fact, but he quickly added a scope to this fact, saying: "At least in this era, Yam Island should have been destroyed. .”
The reason why Leo said this is because he is not completely sure that Yam Island has really been destroyed, because the subspace where Yam Island is located is too special, connecting the past, future and present, just like An eternal time node, analyzed according to the time theory in the Earth Federation universe, is that the Yam Island in his current time period may have been destroyed, but the Yam Island in other time periods may still exist.
Frank Forson exclaimed: "Destroyed? How is this possible? How can it be destroyed?"
"I don't know, I just know it was destroyed." Leo didn't intend to tell his experience, so he responded vaguely.
Frank Forson could tell that Leo must have been hiding something, but he didn't ask any further questions, because with years of experience, he could also tell that Leo's description of the destruction of Yam Island was not a lie. For him, the destruction of Yam Island meant that his best hope of solving his physical problems had disappeared, and he no longer cared about the process of destruction.
Now that he heard the bad news, Frank Forson's face became a little pale, but he did not feel desperate, because Yam Island was only his best hope to solve the problem, not his last hope. In fact, he had considered it before However, he was unable to find Yam Island, so he had already prepared several plans. Although he was not at all sure whether those plans could solve his problems, having a plan was better than having no plan at all. At least he still had has hope.
Leo asked in a deep voice: "If you don't mind, can I take a look at your parasitic holy insect?"
Frank Forson couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Leo's words, because in his opinion, no matter how unsophisticated a person is, he should not make such a request, let alone something related to the origin of his life and strength. Leo is a new stranger, even a close friend who has been with him for many years may not show it to him.
Even if he made excessive demands, Leo showed no introspection at all. Instead, he added: "I have come into contact with that kind of parasitic holy insect and have done some research on it. Maybe I can help you solve your current predicament."
Frank Forson frowned and looked at Leo, his eyes full of doubt. He knew from his fragmented memory how powerful the parasitic holy insect that gave him power was, even if he just touched it,
They can be easily parasitized by it, and there is no possibility of avoiding it.
If Leo had previously admitted that his power came from parasitic holy insects, then he might believe Leo now. But now Leo actually said that he had come into contact with parasitic holy insects and even studied them. This is something he
It seems this is completely impossible to achieve.
Because he knew from the memory fragments in his brain that this kind of holy insect was protected by some very powerful giants. If you want to contact these holy insects, you must pass the protection of the giants, and if you want to study the holy insects, you need to face the entire city.
Of the Order of Black and White.
Through memory comparison, he could feel how powerful those giants were. Even with his current strength, he was not sure he could survive their attacks.
And in his special ability induction, he can feel the strength of Leo. Although Leo is very strong, he is only slightly stronger than him, so in his opinion, Leo can never get close to those guarded by the giant.
You can't even get close to the Holy Insect, let alone study it.
Frank Forson made no secret of the suspicion in his eyes, and Leo naturally saw it clearly, and he didn't say anything about it. He didn't intend to explain anything, he just smiled softly and said: "It doesn't matter, just pretend that I don't
I said, if you have nothing to do, please leave, I still have my own things to do."
I don’t know if Leo’s casual attitude had an effect. The questioning look on Frank Forson’s face weakened a little, and he felt that Leo’s words might be true.
However, for Frank Forson, even if Leo's words were true, he did not have the courage to risk letting Leo check his body, so he finally saluted Leo and left the room.
Watching Frank Fossen leave, Leo didn't feel sorry. Although he could study the parasitic holy insect in Frank Fossen's body and find out the changes in the growth of this parasitic holy insect and the mystery of its power, he was also very confused.
He knew that even if he researched something useful, it would not be of any benefit to him. It was just to satisfy his curiosity, so he did not force it.
Not long after Frank Fossen left, Leo also left the hotel secretly. He did not leave from the main entrance, but climbed directly out of the window of the living room, passed the water pipe next to the window, and quickly climbed to the inner garden of the hotel.
, then climbed over the garden wall and came to the street.
The reason why Leo left the hotel at such a great deal of trouble was to solve another small problem that brought him to the capital city of Dulin, that Panil deputy envoy Partha Gukaran who went to the black market specifically to buy his information.
The location of the Panier Mission is easy to find. In fact, in recent days, the Panier Mission has been the focus of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of England and the center of discussion among the people.
The reason why Panier, the effect of Moissanian Continent, is so valued by all walks of life in the Kingdom of England is mainly because this mission is here to discuss the mining rights of various mines in Panier and the export prices of various ores in the next ten years.
.
As a kingdom of mountains, Panir has been the most important ore supplier in the Moissan continent since ancient times. Among the mountains, almost every mountain top has different mineral deposits, extending from the inland area to the sea.
To put it bluntly, if you pick up a random stone from the ground in Panir, it may be a piece of ore raw material.
During the Great Colonial Era, various colonial countries fought hard to control the ores of Panir on the Moissan continent. The Kingdom of Sigmar, the Kingdom of Maris, the Franz Empire, etc. all had complete control over Panir for a period of time.
The experience of Niel Ore, and the Kingdom of England, as the maritime overlord, was the last colonial country to control Panil Ore.
However, as the colonies in the Moissanite continent began to become independent and established a country, Panier, the earliest independent country in the Moissanite continent, also began to try to take back mining rights from the Kingdom of England.
The Kingdom of England was naturally unwilling to give up such a huge benefit, and the Kingdom of England was undergoing industrial reforms and national infrastructure construction at that time, which required extremely large quantities of various types of ores, and Panier was the main ore supplier and the most important.
As a cheap ore supplier, the Kingdom of England would definitely not want to see the Kingdom of Panier take back those mines.
The two countries launched several years of negotiations for this, and other kingdoms were involved in the process, but they were dismissed by the two countries in a tacit agreement. In the end, both countries took a step back, and the Kingdom of England retained the mine for fifty years.
Mining rights, while the Kingdom of Panier only has ownership of the mines during these fifty years, and will recover all rights after fifty years.
This year happened to be the last year of the agreement between the two countries, so Panier sent a mission to the Kingdom of England to discuss handover matters, and also began a new round of mining rights negotiations.
In fact, the top management of Panier does not really want to completely take back the mine, because during the fifty years that the Kingdom of England was responsible for mining, the two countries have cooperated very well, and the people-to-people exchanges between the two sides have also been very close, and the two sides have become the most friendly.
brotherly countries.
What's more important is that the Kingdom of England has never defaulted on the payment for every batch of ore. Panier's top management has long been accustomed to collecting money directly. If they really take back all mining rights, then they will have to face a series of problems in mining ore.
It was a shame, so they secretly gave the order to the head of the mission to maintain the status quo and increase the transaction price appropriately.
The envoys sent to the Kingdom of England this time are almost all the Inges from the Kingdom of Panier. All members of the mission have studied at the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of England, and some of them even have properties in the Kingdom of England.
He is an honorary citizen of a city in the Kingdom of England and enjoys the same rights as a citizen of the Kingdom of England except for the right to vote.
For this reason, after the mission came to the Kingdom of England, they did not directly conduct business negotiations with Congress, but went to their respective alma maters for a trip.
Unlike most members of the mission who chose the Royal Academy when they studied abroad in the Kingdom of England, Partha Gukaran chose to come to the seminary in the Kingdom of England to study the theology and religious classics of various churches in the Velen world.
Research.
This time after he went to the Kingdom of England as an envoy with the delegation, he did not stay in Panier's embassy most of the time, but stayed in the seminary's library, where the Kingdom of England collected theological classics from various churches.
