Chapter 985 Dilemma

Capuja is located in the north-central part of the Porto region, close to the Black Forest. There are no specialties worth mentioning here, and it is not suitable for growing wine-making crops such as grapes.

It’s just that because it is close to the Black Forest, the trees here grow much taller than other places. However, there are many towns in the Bodo area and even around the Black Forest, which are not valuable things.

The reason why Capuja was later listed as a list of urban development by the United Kingdom of Flan and established it as an important station in the domestic railway network was mainly because it was close to the front line and after leaving the valley where Capuja was located, a flat mountain road that was very suitable for railways meandered through the Rosro Mountains in the north-central and northeast of Podo. It is much easier to build a railway to the front line here than in other places and consumed much less manpower and material resources.

Because of this railway, Capuja developed from a very ordinary mountain town into a medium-sized city in the years after the establishment of the United Kingdom of Flan. Nearly forty percent of the war materials in the United Kingdom will be concentrated here and then sent to all parts of the front line.

However, although Kapuja has achieved extraordinary rapid development because of this war railway, it also lost its former peace because of this railway.

The development of emerging cities is naturally indispensable for all kinds of merchants and some underworld forces that follow the merchants. In order to expand their territory and interests, these underworld forces naturally need to fight and fight. Therefore, the public security problems caused have become a headache for the city managers of Kapuja City.

However, this is not the most troublesome problem for urban managers. The spies from the empire are the main reasons why they panic.

As an important transit station for military supplies in the United Kingdom of Flan, it is also the focus of the work of spies and spies on both sides of the Empire and the Kingdom. Since the management rights of Kapuja were directly under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom and the officials were appointed by the parliament, none of the officials in Kapuja could complete their term safely. They would all be bribed by the Empire's spies for various unknown reasons and become traitors.

So there is a joke in the United Kingdom of Flan, that is, no matter who or what position he is, as long as he can complete his term in Kapu City and be transferred safely, then this person is definitely the most loyal kingdom in the world.

It is precisely because of the large number of spies sent by the empire that the intelligence department led by Sylvia also sent corresponding spies to engage in a series of open and secret battles with the imperial spies hidden here.

When Leo and Sylvia came to Capu City, she did not go directly to the secret office where her department was located, but instead pretended to be an ordinary traveler couple with Leo, entered the most luxurious hotel in the city, then washed up, put on a dress that was popular in the United Kingdom, and asked the hotel to find the nearest newspaper and read it.

"Has the armistice agreement been signed? So fast?" Picking up the top of the newspaper from the hotel. Before he could take a closer look, Sylvia was attracted by the front page title on the newspaper.

"Did you know in advance that the United Kingdom intends to sign an armistice agreement with the Empire?" Leo asked while teasing the child in his arms.

"Of course I know, this is not a secret at the top of the United Kingdom." Sylvia nodded and said, "Those merchants hoped that the situation would stabilize and make money, but they didn't want to continue fighting. They found many lobbyists. Prime Minister Rupert and the King also felt that continuing to fight would only be meaningless waste, so they always wanted to negotiate with the Empire, but the Empire never let go and had no intention of making peace. Unexpectedly, the terms of peace talks were reached so quickly and the armistice agreement was signed."

Leo picked up a newspaper from a different newspaper, looked at it, and said, "It's really fast enough, less than a month after we entered the Black Forest."

"What? One month?" Sylvia was stunned. At Leo's signal, she looked at the newspaper's time. Only then did she realize that the time in the newspaper was different from what she thought.

The time in the newspaper has only twenty-three days since they entered the Black Forest, and it has been at least eleven months since she and Leo entered the Black Forest.

However, the asymmetry in time did not surprise Sylvia for too long. Because she had experienced the world of witch hunters, she was no longer surprised by things like different worlds and different time flow rates. What she was surprised now was the short time it took to sign this armistice agreement, which surprised her a little.

According to her experience, even if the empire is considering a truce with the United Kingdom, it should still be in the negotiation and testing stage. It will take at least half a year to sign the truce agreement. Like now, it will be fought to the death more than 20 days ago and will never give up until another country has destroyed it. It will sign the truce agreement more than 20 days later. This has never happened in the wars of the big and small world of Veeron in the past, and it will make people feel extremely abnormal no matter how you look at it.

"It should be related to the loss of the contract ring and the major mutations in the north." Leo quickly glanced at the newspaper in his hand and simply inferred.

"Did the contract ring have such a great influence on them?" Sylvia frowned.

Leo thought for a moment and said, "It should have a big impact. Most of the experiments we saw in the Seventh Institute should need to use some special products from the Black Forest. Now that the contract ring is lost, the empire's official can no longer obtain those special products from the Black Forest safely. This will obviously stop all the tests on their hands and even be invalidated. The industry in the Flan Empire is far from comparing with the United Kingdom. They should bet on experiments that can give ordinary people extraordinary power. Now the raw materials required for the experiments have a problem, and they have begun to decline in this war. If they do not make a truce agreement with the United Kingdom while the war between the two sides is still in the tie stage, it will be delayed for a period of time, it will not be whether they want to truce, but whether the United Kingdom wants to truce."

After listening to Leo's analysis, Sylvia nodded, but she did not think Leo's analysis was completely correct. The idea of ​​the Empire may be the same as Leo's analysis, but Leo's idea of ​​the United Kingdom was wrong, but this mistake was mainly because Leo did not have detailed information, so he made a wrong judgment.

In Sylvia's view, the Empire was indeed eager to sign an armistice agreement with the United Kingdom so as not to lose enough bargaining chips when it was at a disadvantage, but the United Kingdom also hoped to end the war as soon as possible, so it kept trying to negotiate with the Empire, mainly because the United Kingdom was already heavily in debt due to this flange civil war.

The reason why the United Kingdom has not declared its government bankruptcy to the public is mainly because Rupert Fitz's personal charm supports the fragile finances of the entire United Kingdom. The merchants of the kingdom were immersed in the dream of a merchant kingdom he created, and were willing to lend money to the kingdom to support the kingdom's huge military expenditure.

If there were no such things as world mutations and the grey fog sealing sea, the United Kingdom might be able to rely on maritime trade with other countries and barely maintain the United Kingdom's expenses. Now, due to the grey fog sealing sea and the sea trade is cut off, not only the kingdom's governments are affected, but even those merchants who rely on maritime foreign trade have been affected, and these merchants are the United Kingdom's biggest supporters and creditors.

If this war continues, it is not particularly clear whether the United Kingdom will be the winner in the end, so the armistice agreement in the newspaper is also crucial to the United Kingdom.

Now that the armistice agreement has been signed, Sylvia has no way to continue to exert influence and make profits for her re-arms agreement. She quickly put the armistice agreement aside and began to read other contents in the newspapers to find content that interests her.

"What are your plans?" Leo lost interest in these things after just looking through a few newspapers. He asked while teasing Little Toran.

Sylvia hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't want me to go to the Kingdom of Ing, do you?"

"Of course not," Leo shook his head and said, "There is now such a thick gray fog on the sea. Whether I can pass through it is still unknown. And even if I go back to the Kingdom of Ing, I will not stay for too long. If I clean up the industry there, I will go to Mosan. I want to ask you..."

"Forget it! I won't go to Mosan." Before Leo finished speaking, Sylvia shook his head and said, "If Toran had not been born yet, I would rather go to the wastelands of Mosan with you. But now that Toran is born, we can't throw Toran here and give it to others to raise! I'll raise my own children better."

After hearing this, Leo didn't say anything, and swallowed up what he wanted to say later. In fact, his original intention was to bring Toran to the Kingdom of Ing. Now Sylvia's attitude is obviously to let Toran grow up in Flan, and with Sylvia's personality, he would not change his mind on this matter, so he did not say any unnecessary words to affect the relationship between the two.

After a while, Little Tolan was probably tired of playing and fell asleep in Leo's arms. Leo put him in the cradle bought by the hotel. Then he closed his eyes and conducted spiritual training in the training simulation venue constructed in his mind. While scanning the hotel through the spiritual network, he tried some of his newly learned spiritual network skills.

Before this, Leo only used the spiritual network as a remote sensing detection tool, but from the inheritance of the acquired spiritual energy, he found that the use of the spiritual network was far more than he expected, and the role of the spiritual network is greater in the entire spiritual energy system. It is not unreasonable that the spiritual network skills will become a concentrated basic skill that psychics must learn.

The spiritual network skill that Leo is practicing is called the control field. The function of this technique is to use the spiritual network's psychic waves to create a psychic domain. This psychic domain is like the divine domain of the Black Forest. The maker will become the absolute master of this field. This is described in the inheritance he has obtained.

At this moment, Leo's spiritual network naturally cannot form such a domain. He can only create a pseudo-domain and use some skills to control some things in the pseudo-domain. For example, if he wants to open the doors of all rooms in the spiritual network domain, he only needs to have a thought, and now his ability can only do this.

However, Leo believes that as his psychic level increases and his mastery of the use of the spirit network, he will definitely be able to achieve the final effect that the spirit network should be able to achieve in the information.

While training the ability to use the Spirit Network, he also discovered some interesting things through the Spirit Network, and asked Sylvia, who had read most of the newspapers, and said, "You chose to stay in this hotel not only because this hotel is the most luxurious hotel in the city, right?"

"Why do you ask that?" Sylvia said in confusion.

"Because I found that this hotel seemed to be the spy headquarters of the Fran Empire." Leo told Sylvia his discovery.

"Did you find it?" Sylvia immediately put down the newspaper in her hand, came to Leo's side, and said, "I have always suspected that this was the spy headquarters of the Fran Empire in Capu City. However, the owner of this hotel has a good relationship with the upper class of the United Kingdom, and my people can't find any evidence, so I just doubt it. Now it seems that my suspicion is indeed correct."

"No, you're wrong!" Leo interrupted Sylvia, and when the other party showed a confused look, he emphasized again: "I'm not talking about the spy headquarters of Kapuja, but the spy headquarters of the entire United Kingdom."

Sylvia didn't understand the difference between the two at first, but soon realized what Leo meant, and showed an expression of ecstasy on her face, saying, "The whole country is actually the whole country. It seems that I caught a big fish this time!"

Sylvia walked back and forth in the room excitedly for a few rounds, her face becoming more and more calm, and she soon stopped and showed a thoughtful look on her face.

It is very important for Sylvia to confirm that this hotel is the spy headquarters of the Fran Empire in the United Kingdom. Over the years, Sylvia's main opponent was the spies of the Fran Empire. Now she has found the spy headquarters of the empire, and she has used the disguise of the Faceless to stay here secretly and has not attracted the attention of the hotel.

In this way, she is completely in the dark and has enough advantages to solve this opponent, and the only thing she needs to consider now is to make this matter too much.
