Chapter 663 Thinking too much
Leo took out another metal card, which surprised the cleric, because judging from Leo's performance just now, it was obvious that this was Leo's first time here to store items, but now he took out another one
The card came to pick up something, which aroused some doubts in the minds of the clergy.
It is not unheard of to kill the card holder and then take this metal card to the Church of the Lord of Creation and Death to retrieve something, so the suspicious clergy calmly asked Leo to wait a moment, and then sent the
Write down the identification number on each card, pick up the items that have been processed and leave.
After a while, he walked in with a box about two feet long and wide, but this time he was not the only one here. Behind him was the only church knight with divine energy fluctuations.
The church knight came in and stood at the door without saying anything. After putting the things down, the cleric told Leo how to open them and exited the room.
Looking at the cautious look of the clergy, Leo smiled. He didn't care about the church knight. He directly took out the old puppet master's metal card, inserted it into the box, and then used the power of nightmare to imitate the old puppet master.
energy is injected into the metal card.
The metal card quickly shone with light, and then a click was heard, and the box was opened.
Seeing that the box was successfully opened, the church knight standing at the door was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked out of the house, said a few words to the clergy outside the door, and then left.
Leo ignored the thoughts of the clergy outside the door. After opening the box, he focused on the box.
I saw three simple things placed in the box. The largest one was an unfinished wood carving. It seemed that it should have been made by an old puppet master. The carving was a woman. It can be seen that the carver was very interested in this.
Women have deep feelings and are very careful with every stroke they make.
When Leo saw this wood carving, he was stunned for a moment. The reason why he had such a reaction was not because he found that the wood used in this wood carving was the most expensive fragrant blood wood on the market today, nor was it because
The old puppet master's exquisite carving and lifelike sculptures were due to the fact that this unfinished wood carving turned out to be a strange object with energy fluctuations, but he could not find the reason why the wood carving was a strange object.
It would be fine if the fragrant blood wood used for wood carvings is a high-energy substance, but this wood is just an ordinary precious wood, and there are no examples of this kind of wood mutating into high-energy substances. If there are any
If so, then it is absolutely impossible for major churches and dark world organizations to allow this kind of wood to be sold among the public.
After looking over and over again and unable to find any reason, Leo could only attribute the reason why the wooden sculpture transformed into a strange object to the old puppet master's emotional investment when carving the wooden sculpture. Only this kind of pure emotional continuous investment produced
Only the power of thought can create this kind of mutation. There are many precedents for this in Velen, but this kind of strong emotion that changes reality often does not have a good result in the end.
Although this wood sculpture has transformed into a strange object, its function is unknown. Judging from past such precedents, this kind of strange object is not a good thing for any user, so Leo put the wood sculpture back
Inside the box, there was no intention of taking it away.
In addition to the wood carvings, there were two boxes, one large and one small. Leo opened one of the boxes and found three handwritten notes inside. After flipping through it a little, the contents were nothing more than how to use and improve the puppet master's set of abilities.
Leo quickly flipped through the pages, recorded several puppet techniques that could be used for psychic energy, put the three notebooks back into the box, and then picked up the last box.
"Fortunately, my trip was not in vain!" Leo opened the box and saw the gems stuffed throughout the box, with a smile on his face.
With this gem, Leo no longer has to worry about funds when participating in the auction.
Leo put the gems and the box into the storage space, then closed the lid again, sealed it with a metal card, walked out with it, and handed it to the clergy waiting outside.
"Please give the things to the successor according to what is written in the agreement." Leo said to the clergyman.
The cleric frowned and said, "Only if something happens to the card owner, these things will..."
"Now something has happened to the owner of the card." Leo raised his hand and broke the metal card, then handed it to the stunned clergyman.
Looking at the broken metal card in front of him, the cleric didn't understand what was going on for a while. It wasn't until Leo left the building and disappeared from the door that he realized what it was. His face instantly became extremely ugly, and then he picked up some
The robe, which was not convenient for walking, quickly ran to an office upstairs and knocked on the door hastily.
"Come in." A cold voice came from the door.
This sound made those who heard it shiver as if their whole body was wrapped in cold, and their anxious mood also calmed down.
The cleric then tidied up his clothes, opened the door and walked in.
I saw that the office was very simple, with two filing cabinets on both sides, a table in the middle, and two chairs in front of the table. These chairs were made of lumpy hardwood and were very difficult to sit on. Come to think of it,
This can also be regarded as a hint from the owner of the office that he does not want people to stay for a long time.
There was a thin old man with a gloomy face sitting behind the desk. He raised his eyes and glanced at the clergyman. His eyes fell on the storage box held by the other person, and he did not let the clergyman say anything.
He directly asked: "Don't you know the rules? Why did you bring the guest's storage box here? Two points are fined."
The clergyman's face immediately became very ugly. Two points was equal to two years of excellent evaluation for him, which meant that he would definitely have to postpone his promotion for two years.
Although he wanted to set a limit for himself, when he thought about the old man in front of him, he knew that defending would not be of any use, but would make things worse, so he could only bow his head and acquiesce to the old man's punishment.
After the old man made the judgment, he seemed to have forgotten about the clergyman and continued his work, writing this on a document. The clergyman did not dare to move and could only stand here quietly.
After a while, the old man stopped writing, folded the document and put it in the briefcase aside. Then he asked the clergyman: "What happened to make you come to see me in such a hurry?"
The cleric immediately stepped forward, placed the storage box in his hand on the table, and said: "Your Excellency, I discovered that our storage box may have a loophole. Non-storage box card holders can also open the storage box.
box, there is no need to use the replacement ritual."
"What?" After hearing the cleric's words, the old man's slightly narrowed fish eyes immediately widened, and he said urgently: "Be specific."
So, the clergyman carefully explained what happened to Leo just now.
After listening to the description, the old man was silent for a while, and then slowly confirmed: "Are you sure this is the first time that person uses the storage box?"
"Yes, I'm sure." The clergyman replied affirmatively.
"Well! The information you provided is very important. Leave the follow-up investigation to other departments!" The old man nodded, pointed to the storage box on the table, and said: "Put this box where it belongs, and notify according to the rules.
If the heir on the form comes to collect it, your reward will be issued five days later, and the two points deducted before will be reduced."
"Yes, sir." The priest's face showed joy, and he quickly picked up the box and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." The old man suddenly stopped the cleric again and said very seriously: "If this matter gets spread, it will have a great impact on the church, so I don't want to hear any rumors about this outside.
,Did you hear it?"
"Yes, sir." The clergyman responded quickly.
Then seeing that the old man had no other instructions, he quickly turned around and left.
After the clergy left, the old man pondered for a moment, took out a blank piece of paper and quickly wrote something. Then he picked up the bell next to the table and shook it. The strange thing was that the bell did not make any sound when it was shaken.
After a while, a dark figure emerged from the wall and stood beside the old man. The old man handed the paper to the shadow and said, "You can send it to the Department of Corrections and the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The black shadow took the paper and disappeared into the wall again.
The old man did not continue working, but sat back on the chair and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting his mind. After a while, he said to himself with a confused look on his face: "Who is it?
Who is going to deal with me? He used such a clumsy method to reveal the leakage in the storage box at this time. Even if the cause of this incident has nothing to do with me, as the general manager of the foreign affairs business, I will definitely be blamed.
, In this case, they will have one less competitor." As he spoke, his face showed a little ferocity, and he said: "Since you have already taken the first step, don't blame me for being unkind."
At the same time, Leo, who had left the Church of the Lord of Creation and Death of All Things, had already arrived at a car dealership in the south of the city, hired a pack truck, and headed to Kugang, a city on the border of Savile. He did not know what he had done unintentionally.
It caused a power struggle within the Church of the Lord of Creation and Destruction of All Things, but even if he knew about it, he wouldn't care in his heart. After all, he was leaving Savile now. No matter how fierce the struggle within the Church of the Lord of All Creation and Death was, it didn't matter to him.
things.
"If you want to get dry steel, you can take two roads. One is to take the Hammed Road in the south. This road is quite long and takes more than forty days to walk. However, this trade road is very safe. It passes by
The nine cities in the country will send rangers to patrol the roads they are responsible for, so there will be almost no sand pirates encountered on the road." After Leo hired a pack truck, the owner of the pack truck asked Leo to choose where to go.
Route, said: "The other road is much closer, that is, go directly to the west, go upstream along the Little Gusi River, pass through the Little Gusi Desert, and cross the Quinsis Snow Mountain from the Ancient Salt Railway to reach it directly.
Dry Steel City, if everything goes well, it will only take five days at most."
Leo didn't think much at all and made a choice: "Just choose the one that's closest!"
"Wait! Sir, please don't rush to make a choice. I haven't finished speaking yet." Seeing Leo making a choice so quickly, the owner of the carriage immediately stopped him and said, "Although the road to the west is much closer, it's still a long way to go."
But there are also many dangers. You should know about the Gus Sand Pirates, right? Although the Gus Sand Pirates were active in the Great Gus Desert, the Little Gus Desert was also their plundering area. Various city-states in the west once
We have made great efforts to completely eradicate the Gus sand bandits, but we have never been able to do so. To this day, the Gus sand bandits are still active in the large and small Gus deserts."
"Of course we cannot eradicate the people who are in power in each of your city-states." Leo easily saw through this trick of calling thieves to catch thieves, but he did not say it out loud. He just said to the hired packcar owner with a very indifferent expression:
"Don't worry about the Gus Sand Pirates, they can handle it easily."
The owner of the carriage was stunned for a moment, and then added: "The Gus sand bandits are not the most dangerous. In fact, the most dangerous thing on this road is the Quinsis Snow Mountain. Have you heard the story of the human-eating fog? That's what happened.
In the snowy mountains of Quincy.”
"Human-eating fog?" Leo showed a little interest and said, "Tell me more details."
"So you don't know about this. No wonder you were able to make a decision so quickly." The owner of the carriage looked at Leo with surprise and blamed Leo's arbitrary decision on ignorance, so he was kind-hearted and quickly
The introduction said: "Actually, the man-eating fog on the Quinsis Snow Mountain has been around for a long time, and has been for thousands of years. However, it has not happened very frequently in the past. It was not until the number of occurrences in recent years that people hid. People who are lucky enough to meet
The arriving fog will be in front of the road. As long as you don't get too close and wait for the fog to dissipate, there will be no danger. However, sometimes the fog will appear directly around people, and everyone trapped in the fog will be unable to escape.
, will disappear together with the fog. Because the location where the fog appears each time is not fixed, and there is no pattern, so whether you can safely complete this ancient salt railway is completely a matter of luck. If you are lucky, you will be fine.
Go out and have bad luck..."
The owner of the carriage did not say any more, but his meaning was already self-evident.
After listening to the introduction from the owner of the pack car, Leo became more interested in this ancient salt and iron road. Because the owner of the pack car's description of the man-eating fog reminded him of the thick fog he knew, so he almost
Without much thinking, he made a decision: "Let's take the Ancient Salt Railway."
Seeing that Leo still made the same decision even after being persuaded, the owner of the carriage did not persuade him any more, so he said that it would be better to join other caravans taking this route. This would be much safer, at least in the small town.
The Gos Desert is like this.
Leo had no objection to this. After contacting the car dealer, Leo successfully joined a caravan. Of course, he couldn't join for free. In addition to paying a little extra protection fee, he also had to hire someone.
