"The Belmont family?" Everyone in the living room looked surprised after listening to Pipero's story. Even Leo also had a surprised expression on his face. They never expected that he would be spared.

To Sylvia.

However, despite being surprised, the look of surprise on Sylvia's face quickly disappeared, and then she fell into deep thought.

At this time, Leo also recalled things about the Belmont family.

For most French people, the Belmont family refers to Sylvia’s family living in Belmont Manor, but in fact, just like those long-standing noble families in the French Empire, the Belmont family

It is also a large family with many branches and intertwined roots like a big tree.

Up to now, the Belmont family has three branches besides Sylvia. These three branches are also named after Belmont, so when Count Piperro said that he would sell him the Ability God Cells,

When the person was the Belmont family, the names of those three families immediately appeared in Sylvia's mind.

"Tirifas, Gerio, or Claire?" Sylvia asked after naming the three families.

Unlike Sylvia, the other three branch families did not defect from the French Empire. Although they were more or less influenced by Sylvia and were inspected by the empire, no defection was found among them.

There were no signs of contact between them and Sylvia, so they were let go.

"No, it's your Belmont family." Count Pipero shook his head, and then said in a positive tone.

Sylvia's face immediately darkened, and then she suddenly thought of something and asked in a deep voice: "When did you buy this Ability God Cell?"

"Two months ago." Count Pipero said a time, and then felt that it was not accurate enough, so he said: "Two months ago, the third day after the Golden Sunflower Festival."

After hearing these words, Sylvia's face became gloomier again, and she also showed obvious anger. She should have guessed who the person who wanted Count Pipero to sell the Ability God Cells was.

Sylvia did not just ask for confirmation, but continued to ask: "Does that person have a strong nasal voice when he speaks, and does he have a strong smell of tobacco?"

Count Piperro nodded and said: "It does have a strong tobacco smell, and it is also very high-quality Bran Island tobacco."

"Damn it, it's really him." Sylvia no longer had any doubts, and she was already sure in her heart who the person Count Piperro was talking about.

"Do you know who that person is?" Leo asked.

Sylvia nodded and said, "He should be my uncle, Baron Lord."

Later, Sylvia told Leo about Baron Lord in detail.

It turned out that Sylvia's mother came from a down-and-out aristocratic family, and there were only two people in the whole family, her mother and her uncle. So after marrying to Belmont Manor, her uncle had been living in Belmont Manor and growing up.

Later, he worked in a factory owned by the Belmont family.

Although the two are considered blood relatives, the relationship between Sylvia and Baron Lord is not very close. It is very ordinary. When Sylvia was preparing to rebel from the French Empire, she never thought that Baron Lord would join her.

Joined the United Kingdom of France, so at that time I just planned to give Baron Lord a sum of money, or to divide some of the unsold property.

But what she didn't expect was that while the rest of the family was still hesitating, Baron Lord came forward and expressed his willingness to join the United Kingdom of France with her. And while he was joining, he was using the knowledge he had built over the years.

Through some connections, he obtained several precious drawings of imperial weapons. It was precisely for this reason that he was quickly reused in the United Kingdom and held an important position, mainly responsible for a very important kingdom arsenal.

"How come there are supernatural cells in his hands?" Tessa Moka couldn't help but wonder at this time.

"I also want to know." Although Sylvia already had several answers in her heart, she was still unsure of them all. This incident also gave her a new understanding of the uncle she had never paid attention to.

In Sylvia's memory, this uncle is just a man who is good at maneuvering. He can always seize the opportunity and obtain the benefits he wants. He is able to get along so well in the government of the United Kingdom of France.

Because of his ability to make both ends meet.

However, now Sylvia needs to re-recognize herself as a blood relative. She can obtain the alien cells as a trade item, and can sneak into Count Pipero's home silently, and meet Pipero who is closely monitored by the empire.

The count's ability to conduct transactions is obviously not something that can be achieved by a person who relies on his words to obtain profits.

"What should I do with you now?" Sylvia looked at Count Pipero and said in a deep voice.

"I should be of some use to you." Count Piperro did not look too flustered and said: "I know some secrets of the French royal family. These secrets..."

Sylvia couldn't help but smile, interrupted the other party, and said: "What royal secrets can you, a puppet under house arrest, know?"

Count Piperot said calmly: "The Piperot family is called the Glorious Nobles. It has been a noble of France since the beginning of the First Dynasty. When the King of Knights signed the contract with the Black Forest, my ancestors were also there.

, do you know why Louis X wanted to control the Piperot family at all costs?"

Just as Count Piperro was speaking, Leo felt the mark left by the white deer on his body suddenly produce a wave of energy.

"Promise him, but he has to tell the secrets of the French royal family now." Leo suddenly said to Sylvia.

Sylvia was stunned for a moment, without thinking too much or asking Leo why. Instead, she said to Count Pipero: "I can send you safely to the United Kingdom. As for the conditions, you have heard it."

At this time, Count Piperro looked at Leo with some surprise. Although he could feel that the relationship between Leo and Sylvia was unusual through the conversation between Leo and Sylvia, now it seems that the relationship between the two is beyond the ordinary.

He expected that Sylvia would accept Leo's proposal without hesitation after hearing what Leo said. This all showed Sylvia's absolute trust in Leo, which made him feel incredible.

.

You know, in the French Empire, Sylvia was said by the then French Emperor to be a wild horse that no man could tame. There were many people who pursued her, and all of them ended up with bruises and bruises.

He escaped, but now Sylvia has apparently found her other half, which makes him curious about Leo's identity and what kind of man can tame this wild horse.

"Can you tell me who he is?" Count Pipero couldn't help but asked Sylvia out of curiosity.

"Leo Dodd." Leo did not let Sylvia answer, but took the initiative to speak.

"Dodd? An Englishman?" Count Pipero quickly judged Leo's origin from his surname, but he was still puzzled about Leo's identity, because the surname Dodd was obviously not a noble surname.

.

Sylvia said impatiently: "Why are you asking so many questions? If you don't want to, just pretend that we didn't say that after tonight, we will send you to the place where we found you, whether you want to die or not."

Life depends on your own luck."

Count Pipero said quickly: "Don't worry, I'm just a little worried about whether you are willing to keep your promise after I tell you those secrets?"

Leo said calmly: "You have no other choice now, you can only choose to believe that we will keep our promise."

Count Pipero was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "I understand, I choose to believe you. After all, although Sylvia has various reputations outside, at least she has never failed to keep her promise."

, he looked at Tessa Mocha and said, "Shall we just talk here? Why don't we change the place."

"No need, just tell it here!" Leo said solemnly: "A secret known to more than two people is no longer a secret."

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Count Piperro no longer hid it. After taking a sip of water, he changed to a comfortable sitting position and said with a serious face: "The French royal family has claimed to have the blood of gods since a long time ago.

…”

Sylvia interjected: "Not only the French royal family, but also the English royal family, the Sigma royal family and other monarchy countries have spread similar rumors."

Count Piperro did not pay attention to Sylvia's interruption. He continued: "Yes, the divine bloodlines mentioned by the royal families of those countries are indeed unconfirmed rumors, but I can tell you with certainty that the bloodline of the French royal family is

The blood of the gods is not a rumor, it is true, the French royal family does have the blood of the gods."

After saying these words, he paused deliberately, waiting for Sylvia and the others to react in shock, but what disappointed him was that the three people in the living room seemed very calm and didn't seem to care.

This secret.

The expressions of several people caused Count Piperro to misunderstand. He quickly explained: "Do you think I am making up a story? What I said is true. I wrote it in the notes left by the ancestors of the Piperó family.

After the King of Knights signed a contract with the Black Forest, he received a drop of blood from the Lord of the Black Forest and became the blood descendant of the Lord of the Black Forest."

However, he found that his explanation was of no use at all, because Leo and the others still looked indifferent.

It’s no wonder that this is the case. For ordinary people, the bloodline of gods is indeed amazing enough, but for Leo and Sylvia, it is obviously not a matter of concern, because Leo’s own situation is not mentioned.

Well, the bloodline and strength of Sylvia and Tessa Moka are not much worse than the gods of the world of Velen, so naturally they will not be interested in such things as the blood of gods.

"Speaking of divine bloodline, aren't the alien cells in your body also a kind of divine bloodline?" Sylvia pointed at Count Pipero himself and said, "It's just that your bloodline is uncontrollable!"

"No, no! It's different, it's different." Count Pipero shook his head quickly and said: "The divine bloodline I am talking about is not the supernatural blood cells, but the real divine bloodline."

Although Count Piperro tried his best to explain, the vocabulary he explained was very lacking. Even if Leo and the others could hear that the divine bloodline mentioned by Count Piperro was different from the divine bloodline they understood, they still didn't know what the difference was.

.

Count Pipero also realized that there was something wrong with the way he spoke, so he listened, thought about his words, and then continued: "Back then, the King of Knights did something very important to the Lord of the Black Forest.

, so he received the favor of the Lord of the Black Forest, and promised the King of Knights a position as a god, allowing him to directly transform from a mortal to a god."

"Impossible!" Sylvia interrupted without even thinking: "No one can directly transform from a mortal to a god, not even those who are favored by gods."

Sylvia's words are not random nonsense. There are a lot of things about God's favored ones recorded in the Orthodox Church's classics, and among these God's favored ones, there are many favored ones who are revered as the Son of God. This kind of God's favored ones

The person has all the power given by the gods, just like the gods walking on the earth.

However, even those favored by God who have received such blessings have no examples of being able to directly obtain divine gifts and become new gods. Therefore, among all the true God churches certified by the Orthodox Church, it has almost become a consensus that mortals cannot become gods.

And among the theological circles, it is also an ironclad consensus that God cannot grant gifts.

There is a similar saying in the philosophical circles, just as you cannot make others become yourself, gods cannot make others become gods.

Therefore, when Count Piperro told the story about the King of Knights, Sylvia immediately denied this statement.

However, compared to Sylvia's denial, Leo agreed with Count Piperro's statement, saying: "It's not impossible. Real gods may not be obtained through gifts, but gods close to gods are possible.

Obtained through certain methods."

Leo also made this judgment based on what he knew. In the universe, there are some extremely powerful omega-level advanced life forms that can forcibly raise the life level of living things to the ninth level through some energy transmission methods.

The level of the capable person, but in this way, the life level of this creature can only stay at this level forever, without any possibility of evolution.

"A god close to the gods?" Hearing Leo's somewhat convoluted words, Sylvia and Tessa Mocha both looked at him in confusion.

"Just like the white deer." Leo gave an explanation. He knew very well that the white deer was definitely not an omega-level advanced life form, but in the theology of the Velen world, the black forest white deer was no different from a god.

After hearing Leo's words, Sylvia and Tessa Moka understood a little bit, but they were still a little confused.

So Leo gave another example and said: "Just like the current Snow Queen."
