"Count Piperro?" When Leo heard this familiar name, relevant information quickly emerged in his mind, and he confirmed with some surprise: "The Glory Count of the French Empire?"

Considering the need to sneak into the territory directly under the royal family of the French Empire, where a large number of nobles settled, Sylvia had previously taught Leo a lot about the French nobles.

Among the French nobles that Sylvia mentioned, there were some that she singled out for special mention, and Piperot, the hereditary count known as the Glory of France, was one of them.

It is no longer clear why Piperot was called the Glory of France. The only thing that is known is that Piperot's family was already a noble of the French royal family during the First Dynasty of France. The King of Knights was able to rebel against

It is said that he escaped because of the assistance of the Piperot family. It is precisely because of his extraordinary relationship with the French royal family that the Piperot family has been married to the royal family many times and has the blood of the French royal family in his body.

.

However, in recent generations, the Piperot family has shown signs of decline. Not only has the number of family heirs decreased, but the family's power and industry have also failed. The most tragic failure was the ocean-going fleet invested by the previous generation of Count Piperot.

.

When this fleet was returning to France from the Moissanite continent carrying a large amount of precious supplies, it encountered a sudden storm. All twenty-four ships of the entire fleet sank, and nearly one-third of the Pipero family's property was lost.

Secondly, the Piperot family also had to sell some real estate to fill the hole of losses. The former Count Piperot became ill and died of illness after two years in bed.

However, after the youngest son of the former Count Piperro inherited the title of earl, due to the care of the royal family, the decline of the Piperro family was barely contained. Although it did not get better, it did not worsen either. It could still make the Piperro family's decline

Members maintain the dignity of the nobility.

The main reason why the current Count Piperro is not succeeded by the eldest son or second son, but by the younger son who is not very old, is that this younger son has royal blood.

The mother of this youngest son is the third wife of the former Count Piperro. She is a member of the royal family and has been married twice. One husband died of illness and the other died of an accident. She inherited the property of both husbands.

One of the richest women in France at the time.

At that time, the rumors about this woman and the former Count Piperot were a hot topic of conversation among the French people after dinner. Almost everyone believed that the death of the woman's first two husbands was the death of that woman in order to legally inherit the huge amount of money from those two men.

heritage.

Count Piperro was willing to marry this twice-married widow because of the money in the widow's hands, because the situation of the Piperro family was not good at that time, and after the marriage of the former Piperro family, the Piperro family

The situation began to improve. A few years later, the largest private ocean-going fleet was even formed at the time.

In addition, after the death of the former Count Piperro, the widow was also assassinated. The assassin has not been found yet, but many people suspect that it was the eldest son of Count Piperro, because this man controls the financial power of the Piperro family.

The woman is the biggest obstacle for him to inherit the title of earl.

However, after the widow's death, the royal family uncharacteristically intervened in Count Piperot's succession dispute on the grounds that a member of the royal family was killed. Later, it was unknown that it reached an agreement with Count Piperot's eldest son, second son and other people with inheritance rights.

Some agreement made them voluntarily give up their inheritance rights, and ultimately the title of Count Pipero fell on their youngest son, who was less than three years old.

Many people speculated that the reason why the royal family did this was to control the Count Piperot family through their youngest son, and the result was just as they thought. Starting from the aggravated servants, all the Count Piperot family were replaced by members of the royal family.

The family business is also monitored by members of the royal family. Although the overall economic situation of the Piperot family is recovering, in fact the Piperot family has been almost annexed by the royal family.

Sylvia will focus on this old and declining French aristocracy, not because it has become a force in the French royal family, but because of Count Piperro himself.

Just like the marriage with the royal family, the early Count Piperro had married and formed an alliance with more than one noble, including the Belmont family. Therefore, if blood relationship is considered in the examination, then Count Piperro can also be regarded as Sylvia.

Distant expression.

It is precisely because of this relationship that one of the ancestral books collected by the Belmont family once mentioned the Pipero family.

In that book, it was recorded that in the early years of the Piperot family, in addition to the title of Glory, they also had the title of Witness, but they did not know what they were witnessing. However, after several generations of Count Piperot, the title of Witness was no longer used.

Someone else said that most people only know about Earl Rongguang, but they don’t know that there is a witness, Earl

However, there has never been a public opinion about the origin of the title of witness, but when Sylvia mentioned Count Pipero, she guessed that this witness was probably to witness some kind of agreement signed between the Knight King and the Black Forest.

Agreement or contract, because when the name Witness appeared, it was just after the King of Knights reunified France, and the two seemed to have some connection.

At this moment, Sylvia also had an expression of disbelief on her face. She could not figure out why Count Pipero, who was a puppet, became a dependent and why he was hunted down by the secret operations department of the French Empire.

Leo seemed to have thought of something at this time, and revealed his guess that Count Pipero was a member of the Eye of Truth.

Sylvia's Alian Zhou frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you think it was the French royal family that implanted the Eye of Truth's supernatural cells into him?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "Rescue him and bring him back to his senses. Maybe we can get the whereabouts of the Eye of Truth's body from him."

"I think the Eye of Truth is not in the hands of the French royal family." Sylvia suddenly put forward a different opinion, but did not continue, but instead asked: "Is there any way to save him?

"

"The injuries on his body are easy to resolve. A bottle of healing potion can restore him to normal." Leo looked at the unconscious mutant, thought for a moment, and said, "The important thing is that he was affected by the mutation.

I don't know if he can recover from his mental illness, but I can give it a try."

"How to try?" Sylvia asked with some confusion.

Leo explained how he used the Mark of the True Eye to trigger the power of the True Eye in Count Pipero's body, weakening the opponent's mutation.

"You can try this method." Sylvia nodded after hearing this, and then said: "However, in order to avoid accidents, it is better to tie him up first."

Just as Sylvia finished speaking, the mutant lying on the ground opened his eyes and said weakly: "I think it would be better not to be restrained."

Seeing the mutant wake up, Sylvia, Leo and Tessa Moka showed no signs of surprise. Apparently, they all discovered from the subtle changes in the mutant that the other party had emerged from the coma, and just now

The conversation between Sylvia and Leo was also deliberately told to him.

"Long time no see, Sylvia." Count Pipero seemed to be an old acquaintance of Sylvia. He did not show any panic when he saw this traitor who was among the top ten most wanted criminals in the French Empire.

, but was very calm and said: "In total, this is the third time I have seen you standing in front of me as Sylvia. Before, you were Maupassant."

"Noka, what's going on?" Sylvia did not call the other party by his title, but by his real name, and asked directly: "Although the French royal family has always wanted to annex the Piperot family,

But you shouldn’t be so hungry and unscrupulous! I actually used the supernatural cells to turn you into an out-of-control family member..."

"You are mistaken! It was not the royal family who decided to become a dependent, but myself." Count Pipero interrupted Sylvia's words and gave an unexpected answer. Then he slowly sat up from the ground,

Said: "Can you give me some food? I haven't eaten for many days."

"Aren't you eating people?" Tessa Mocha, who had never spoken at the side, suddenly asked.

"Eating people?" Count Pipero said with a look of disgust: "It's so disgusting! I'm not crazy yet, how can I eat people!"

Sylvia brought over some food that Moning had prepared for them, and handed over some water, and asked: "Have you not lost your mind even after you mutated into that kind of monster?"

"Of course not. You must know that this thing has cost me all my savings over the years," Count Pipero took the food and water and said while eating: "Although I look like I am completely out of control after the mutation, in fact

No Io, I didn’t hear the whisper of the evil god, and my spirit was not affected by the evil god, just like they said.

Like this, these are perfect alien cells." He paused, swallowed the food in his mouth with water, and then said: "The only flaw is that once it is completely mutated, it will be very difficult to return to human form.

Other options, I would not completely mutate. I thought I would spend my life in the form of a monster, but I didn’t expect..."

As he said that, he looked at Leo and did not save any more words. From the conversation just now, he was already sure that the person who could completely get rid of this mutated monster appearance was Leo.

"Where did you get your Ability God cells?" Leo asked?

"I don't know." Count Piperro shook his head, and then he was worried that Leo didn't believe what he said, so he added: "When I saw that person, it was late at night, and the person suddenly appeared beside my bed out of thin air.

Go up, and then tell me that there is something you want to sell me, and that thing is the supernatural cells that can give me powerful power."

Sylvia frowned and said with great displeasure: "A stranger suddenly appeared at your bedside and said he wanted to sell you something, and then you bought it with all the money you had secretly accumulated over the years.

That thing, and used it without knowing whether it was dangerous or not. Noka, do you think we are fools?"

After hearing Sylvia's extremely dissatisfied words, Count Pipero couldn't help but smile bitterly, because now that he thinks about his behavior at that time, he feels a little incredible.

However, he continued to explain: "Although it sounds ridiculous, it is true. For me at the time, there was no other choice, either to stay in bed like a cripple and be controlled for decades.

, lose its use value and become the former Count Piperro, or I have to gamble to death, maybe I can get a way to survive. Now it seems that I made the right bet."

"Do you really have no clues at all?" Sylvia didn't believe what he said and said expressionlessly.

Count Piperro smiled awkwardly. The swollen cysts the size of fingernails on his face made him look very ferocious. Then he heard him say: "I do have some clues, and I just found out who the person is, but I

I can't tell you this news directly. You have to let me leave the empire safely before I tell you. I think this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"It's indeed not difficult, but I don't want to do it. I'm suddenly not interested in your affairs." Sylvia obviously had no intention of following the other party's ideas, and directly rejected the other party's proposal, and then turned to Leo

He said: "I would also like to trouble you to take a trip to where you found him and send him back to where you found him, and at the same time restore him to his original appearance."

"This is indeed a bit troublesome," Leo knew Sylvia's thoughts very well, so he cooperated and said: "Let's just deal with him like this. It just so happens that what we want to do also needs a pass, so let's treat him as that

Just get a pass."

Sylvia pretended to be deep in thought, and after thinking for a moment, she was about to nod.

"Wait, wait!" Count Pipero quickly stopped Sylvia, and then looked at her and Leo, although he was sure that Sylvia was interested in the news in his hands and would not

He really did something to himself, but he didn't dare to bet at all, because if the bet was wrong, then he would really be doomed.

Therefore, he decided to tell his clues. Although this would cost him one of the most useful curses, at least his life would not be in danger for the time being. And based on his understanding of Sylvia's character, he could tell it himself

After obtaining information that is useful to him, she will definitely not let herself stay here. She will definitely find a way to send it to the United Kingdom. This is also equivalent to accepting her previous suggestions in disguise. Of course, the premise of all this is the information he told.

The information is useful.

"The person I was trading with accidentally exposed some of his collar and cuffs when he was trading with me," Pipero calmed down, recalled a little, and said, "The weaving method of that kind of collar and cuffs is very special.

There is only one tailor shop in the entire French Empire that uses that ancient weaving technique. I deliberately went to that tailor shop to buy clothes and peeked at their store's account books. It was recorded in the account books that in the past ten years or so in the entire empire, only
