Five hundred and fortieth chapters pretending to be confused

"How can this be..." Vashchi was about to question Leo's words, but soon she seemed to have recalled something, her words stopped abruptly, and her face became extremely ugly.

"What did you think of?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

"The scepter of the ancient tribe." Vasqi said with an extremely serious face: "Two months ago, Mitty asked Rembrandt to translate a book left by the ancient tribe's sacrifices. That book recorded a

An artifact left to future generations by the ancestors of the ancient tribe. This artifact is called the Scepter of Divine Punishment. It is said that after being activated, this artifact can easily destroy any city in the world. Even the gods cannot stop it. I originally thought that this artifact was just something from the past.

What the ancient tribesmen were boasting about in order to demonstrate their authority did not expect that it actually existed and was found by that woman."

"Do you know the content about the Scepter of Scourge in that book?" Leo asked in a deep voice. If he could know some details about the Scepter of Scourge, he might be able to deduce what kind of weapon Mitty Grant holds.

, it is also possible to prevent such weapons from triggering.

Hearing this, Vasqi carefully recalled what he had heard, and said: "At that time, I didn't believe the set of things mentioned in the ancient clan book at all, so I didn't listen too much. The book seemed to mention

I have been to a ship where the scourge originated from the sky. The ancestors of the ancient tribe came to this world on this ship. After they settled here, they sent the ship to the sky and made it a guardian of the ancient tribe.

Stars, when the ancient tribe is in danger, the ancient tribesmen who hold the scepter of divine punishment can ask that ship for divine condemnation, and the divine condemnation will fall from the sky and cannot be stopped."

After listening to Vashchi's words, Leo knew very well that the so-called scourge weapon of the ancient tribe was probably the energy rail gun on the space battleship without even thinking, and this news made him feel mixed.

Although there are many planets in the universe that can be inhabited by living things, they are too few among the various races in the universe. Therefore, in order to avoid permanent damage to habitable planets caused by cosmic wars, the Supreme Council has restricted all planets.

The rail guns of space battleships are not allowed to use live ammunition weapons, and can only be equipped with discrete particle energy weapons.

Although this kind of discrete particle energy weapon has the power to easily destroy a huge meteorite in a cosmic war, if it is used to attack a habitable planet, the energy particles will be separated by the atmospheric particles of the habitable planet itself, plus the habitable planet itself

city ​​defense system, the power of the final energy weapon can only cause physiological damage to various cosmic creatures, and will not cause much damage to the planet itself.

In addition, this kind of energy weapon has a weakness, that is, it cannot penetrate too thick ground, so when this kind of weapon attacks, people can avoid being hurt by this kind of energy weapon as long as they hide in underground bunkers.

When Leo learned that the ancient scepter of punishment held by Mitty was most likely an energy rail gun, he immediately thought of a bunker for hiding, which was the underground vault of the National Bank.

Almost as soon as he thought of a place to take refuge, he saw the thread on his head that represented disaster quickly disappear, from which he could judge that his guess was correct.

Although he was happy that there was no death threat, he also realized that it was impossible for him to prevent the attack of this weapon from Mitty, because the triggering conditions of this weapon could not be determined, and it might be Mitty.

·Some of Grant’s mental instructions are more likely to be Mitty Grant’s life characteristics.

Moreover, Leo felt that this scourge weapon should have been used before. The sacred mountain sacrifice that led to the demise of the ancient tribe just a few decades ago was more likely to be the real reason for the complete annihilation of the ancient tribe.

Think about it, the ancient tribesmen were performing sacrifices on the top of their holy mountain. The ancient tribesman who mastered the trigger of the rail gun was suddenly assassinated. The rail gun was activated, gathered energy, and launched an energy beam at the final trigger coordinate. The ancient tribesmen on the mountain

Unless they can find a cave to hide in, they will be unable to resist the railgun's energy beam.

As for the subsequent volcanic eruption, I'm afraid it was more of a coincidence. The holy mountain of the ancient tribe itself was an active volcano that had accumulated to its eruption limit, and the energy beam just happened to be used as an igniter.

"You should return to Mitty Grant immediately and protect her safety." After Leo learned the cause of this devastating disaster, he quickly had a way to deal with the disgust in his mind, and immediately gave instructions to Vaschi

road.

Vashchi was not used to Leo's commanding tone and frowned, but did not refute. Instead, she nodded and accepted Leo's command, immediately got up and walked towards the Garden Palace.

"Wait," just a few meters after Vaschi walked out, Leo suddenly stopped her and said, "What if you fail to protect Mitty Grant and Mitty Grant dies, then you will have nothing to lose."

Don’t think too much and head to the underground vault of the National Bank as quickly as possible.”

Vashchi was stunned, and soon understood that it should be a way to escape. Although she didn't know why Leo knew that the underground vault of the National Bank could avoid this devastating disaster, she still decided to follow Leo's suggestion.

.

After Vashchi left, Leo was ready to leave for the Special Bureau to find Frank Forson.

In his view, if the royal family and Congress really betrayed Mitty Grant, then the main force responsible for arresting Mitty Grant must be the Special Bureau headed by Frank Fussen. Therefore, if Frank Fussen is dealt with first, it will be a disaster.

The probability of occurrence may be reduced by half.

However, before Leo's carriage could leave the block where the Garden Palace was located, the carriage was stopped in front. Then a Special Bureau agent walked up to the carriage, showed his ID to Leo, and said: "

The director wants to see you."

"Lead the way." Leo was a little surprised by the appearance of the special bureau agent, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.

After receiving the answer, the detective jumped on the passenger seat of the carriage, flashed his ID to the coachman, and signaled him to drive to a refreshment shop on a nearby street.

Leo was sitting in the carriage, and the mental network swept over the agent and other agents in the carriage behind him. The feedback information surprised him.

Because he found that the energy fluctuations in the bodies of these agents showed that they, like the Night Watchmen, were extraordinary beings implanted with alien cells, and their energy fluctuations were no stronger than the Yongs he met in Miria City.

Beri Veai was not far behind, and much more powerful than the other Special Bureau agents he saw in the Port of Set and the City of Durin.

"Direct lineage!" Leo quickly had the answer in his mind. Thinking about it, Frank Forson has been sitting in the position of director of the Special Bureau for so many years. How could he not have some secret power in his hands?

Soon the carriage arrived at its destination. The agent jumped out of the carriage, opened the door, and said to Leo: "The director is waiting for you inside."

Leo got off the carriage and habitually scanned his surroundings with his mental net, and found that there were powerful jammers that were only found in important government departments. This result made his face a little gloomier.

There were no other customers in the refreshment shop. Only Frank Forson sat alone at the table by the window. There were some refreshments on the table. It seemed that they had been prepared not long ago.

"Try it! The tea here is very unique, completely different from other places." Frank Fussen pointed to the opposite side of the table and said to Leo.

Leo walked over and sat down. He naturally picked up the pastries on the table and tasted them. Then like a real gourmet, he said: "The cake making method should be based on the pastry making methods of the three schools of Sanges. Baking

The technology is a dome oven, which incorporates Sigma's charcoal grilling method. The temperature is well controlled and the timing of the oven is very accurate. It goes perfectly with Tiago purple leaf juice. The only flaw is that the charcoal used for baking is not

Sigma's red fragrant wood is the local light red fragrant wood in Yingge. Although the two kinds of red fragrant wood emit the same aroma after burning, the light red fragrant wood is too moist, and when made into charcoal, it will have a burnt smell.

This burnt smell will also penetrate into the cake."

Frank Fussen, who was sitting opposite, heard Leo easily explain the advantages and disadvantages of the pastry in front of him like a gourmet. His eyes couldn't help showing a surprised look, but he soon showed a relieved expression and said: "I forgot.

Yes, you were a gourmet for a while in Milia City."

Leo put down the tea cup in his hand and said a little abruptly: "You knew it from the beginning."

Frank Forson was silent for a while and said: "I'm about to retire." As he said that, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "You know? No director of the Special Bureau before me has ever been able to spend a stable period.

During my term of office, three were arrested for corruption, two committed suicide in the director's office, and another six were assassinated at the door leaving the Special Bureau. My ability to sit in the position of director of the Special Bureau for so many years was not entirely dependent on me.

My ability is also because I know when to be confused."

Leo looked at the other party calmly and said, "Since you want to continue to be confused, you shouldn't come to me to investigate this matter."

"It's not my idea to find you." Frank Fussen sighed helplessly and said: "You never know what those big shots are thinking. Some people hope that no matter what happens, the situation will remain as stable as ever.

But I feel that this kingdom is too stable, and I want to make some noise."

Hearing Frank Forson's words, Leo couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart. It was not difficult to see that Frank Forson's original intention was not to involve Leo in this matter, and he was even trying to avoid letting Leo come into contact with this matter.

But someone ordered him to find Leo after the death of Pasa Kakulan and involve Leo in this matter, which really surprised Leo.

Frank Forson is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people in the Kingdom of England. He controls the Special Bureau and can use the special investigation of the Special Bureau to arrest anyone in the kingdom except the king, including the Speaker of Parliament. In this way

It's a little weird that a powerful person is just a subordinate of someone else, and would even do some idealistic things because of that person's orders.

Leo quickly analyzed in his mind all the people who had the ability to command Frank Forson, and quickly got the answer. After all, in the Kingdom of England, there were only a handful of people with such power and ability.

"Duke Buckingham?" Leo looked at Frank Forson. After saying the name, he saw that although Frank Forson's expression did not change, his fingers trembled involuntarily, and he confirmed in a tone: "It's Buckingham."

Does the Duke hope to use this incident to cause civil strife in the Kingdom of England?"

"It's not the country that's in chaos, it's just those in power at the top." Frank Forson acquiesced and said, "And it's just to find something for the royal family and Congress to do."

Leo asked in a deep voice: "You, no, or what will they do with Mitty Grant?"

"You can rest assured that Mitty Grant will not be in any danger. If they want to get the weapons in Mitty Grant's hands, they will not let Mitty Grant get hurt." Frank Forson said calmly: "When they get what they want

He will find a scapegoat to execute him, and then return the person to Old Rembrandt."

"Sounds good." Leo nodded and asked, "Why are you keeping me here now? Shouldn't you let me go, let me continue to investigate, and then help Mitty Grant escape from England?"

Kingdom, make the situation more chaotic?"

Frank Fussen shook his head and said: "What I want is controllable chaos, not widespread casualties. If those guys conflict with you, I am afraid many people will die, even members of the royal family and Congress. This is not me."

want."

Leo was silent for a moment, then asked: "Where are the members of Mitty Grant's drama troupe?"

Frank Forson was a little confused and didn't understand why Leo would care about the members of the theater troupe, but he still said truthfully: "As long as they don't cause trouble, there should be no danger."

"You lied." Leo looked at Frank Forson and said, "You didn't have any confidence when you said this, otherwise you wouldn't have used such vague words."

Frank Forson was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"Duke Buckingham asked you to do these things because he wanted to create chaos in Durin. Although you had to follow Duke Buckingham's instructions, you were unwilling to fully follow Duke Buckingham's instructions, so you tried every means to

I am under your nose, and no matter what I want to do, you can stop it in time." Leo analyzed Frank Fossen's thoughts, and then said to him seriously: "But, have you ever thought about it?

What I want to do is actually the same as you? I don’t want to see the situation get out of hand."

Frank frowned and said nothing.

Leo thought for a moment and continued: "Since the Duke of Buckingham is planning to use Mitty Grant as a pawn to disrupt the political situation in Durin, and has made you do so many things, has he told you that Mitty Grant is not only the master of

Have you mastered a weapon that can assassinate a target at an extremely long distance, and also mastered a weapon that can instantly destroy all life in a city?"

"What?" Frank Forson was stunned.
