Chapter 106: Peeling the Cocoon
Leo originally thought that after he took the healing potion, the Chaos Stomach would digest and absorb all of it and convert it into stored energy before the healing potion took effect.
However, the real situation is somewhat different. After the treatment potion is digested, it not only provides the Chaos Stomach with a huge energy storage value of nearly 20 points, but also has a great impact on spiritual energy and the daily values of various physical qualities.
Significant recovery improvement.
The spiritual energy directly increased by ten points, which was much higher than the spiritual energy he consumed in making the medicine.
The depletion of strength, agility and constitution due to lack of rest have also been restored by about five points.
As for the daily values of will and spirit, there has also been some improvement, but the degree of improvement is far less than that of other data, and can almost be ignored.
Leo, who had personally experienced the efficacy of the medicine, divided the ten medicines into five, handed them to Adeline, and said: "Take one, and give the remaining four to Anne, to her, Nelson, Catherine and
Jason gave each person one and told them how to use it and its effects."
"Okay." Adeline was not polite. She took the potion and found a small leather bag from the tool cabinet against the wall. She put five potions into it to avoid collision damage. She also placed a small bag between each potion.
I put on some cushioning towels and left the hospital.
Leo tidied up the laboratory and did not continue to refine the wizard's potion, not because of time and energy issues, but because among the remaining herbs required for the potion formula, there were always one or two herbs, both of which were very special.
So rare that even medical schools are unsure whether some of these herbs exist.
After putting the five wizard potions into his bag, Leo also left Annie's hospital, called a carriage, and headed to the villa area of Xiaxianyue Lake.
It took Leo half an hour to reach the villa area. The reason why it was so slow was because there were gendarmerie checkpoints on the main streets of every block along the way.
Leo only found out from the newspaper placed in the carriage that during the time he was making wizard potions at Anne Hospital, what major events happened in Miria City.
Seventy-three members of the Mainland Congress were assassinated, 69 of whom died immediately, and only four survived.
Although due to the nature of the Continental Congress, some countries and dignitaries who have been harmed by the Continental Congress's judgments often use assassination methods to deal with some of the people they are hostile to, but like now, more than 70 people were assassinated in one day.
The issue of members of the Mainland Congress is the first time since the establishment of the Mainland Congress.
More than 70 members of the Mainland Congress occupy half of the seats in the entire Mainland Congress. The absence of these people has caused an unprecedented shutdown in the Mainland Congress. And because there is no precedent for a shutdown, the administrative officials of the Mainland Congress do not know how to deal with it.
As a result, the entire Continental Congress system fell into chaos.
In addition, due to the incompetence of the security department of the Continental Congress, many members of the Continental Congress were assassinated. Some members of the Continental Congress expressed their opinion that the security department is no longer suitable to be responsible for the security of Milia City.
So following the suggestions of some members, the Executive Bureau of the Continental Congress invited the French First Army Corps stationed in Bordeaux to take charge of the defense around the city of Milia. The French Gendarmerie outside the city fully entered the city and set up neighborhood checkpoints. Milia
The city was under total martial law, and the investigation of the assassination of the congressman was handed over to the Milia City General Police Department.
Although the entire city is under martial law, it does not prevent city residents from traveling across blocks. However, when moving between blocks, they will need to be inspected by the gendarmerie. The inspection of people carrying weapons will be much stricter, and there are many
Anyone with problems will be immediately arrested by the gendarmerie, handed over to the patrol team stationed here, and taken to the police station for detention.
When Leo was inspected, because he had a certificate signed by Ljungberg himself, proving that he was a special agent, the inspection was not very intensive. He just checked to see if there was anyone else hiding in the car.
Released.
After arriving at the villa area of Xiaxiangyue Lake, the security situation here was stricter than that of other blocks. Even with the certification document signed by Ljungberg, he was not released. Instead, he waited for the people at the villa to reply.
Then he was let in.
Under the guidance of Vaschi, Leo entered the villa. Old Rembrandt was sitting in the living room, turning over the newspapers in his hands seriously and looking at the contents carefully. There were already stacks on the coffee table in front of him.
More than one newspaper.
When he came to the old man's side, Leo couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of what's happening outside?"
The old man put down the newspaper in his hand, motioned for Leo to sit on the sofa nearby, and then asked: "What about you? What is your opinion?"
Leo was silent for a moment and said, "I think the situation is very strange."
"Weird? Well, this word is very suitable here." The old man nodded and asked, "Why do you feel like this?"
"Everything is abnormal." Leo thought for a moment and said: "For example, the atmosphere. It stands to reason that the whole city is under martial law and the military police enter the city and set up traffic jams. No matter what the cause is, the people at the bottom should feel panicked. But,
However, I found that people in various neighborhoods did not appear to be in a panic. Even the markets in the neighborhood were trading as usual without any impact. If I hadn't encountered the gendarmerie who set up checkpoints, I wouldn't have even known that it had happened.
Such a big thing.”
The old man smiled and asked: "Such a big thing? Do you think it is a big deal that seventy-three people were assassinated in the Continental Congress Hospital?"
Leo was a little surprised at the old man's calmness, and said puzzledly: "Isn't this a serious matter? It will directly lead to the suspension of the Continental Congress, and may even affect whether the Continental Congress will continue to stay in the French Empire?"
"Well! It seems that the matter is very big." The old man nodded, but then changed the topic and said: "But it is a big matter to the Continental Congress, but what about you? To the ordinary people of Milia City
What? Will there be a Mainland Congress that will affect your lives?"
Leo was stunned and said with some uncertainty: "It should be so! Without the Continental Congress, would Miria City still be Miria City? Politics and business should be affected, and these effects should also spread.
When it comes to the lower-class residents of Milia City, how can we say it has no impact on them?"
"It seems that you don't know what kind of political environment Milia City is." The old man smiled and shook his head and said, "If I explain it, I won't be able to explain it in one day. You just need to know one thing.
, whether there is a Continental Congress or not will not have much impact on Miria City. At most, it will only lose a little international prestige." After saying that, he paused and gave an order to Vaschi, asking her to go to the document in the study.
Then he turned to Leo and asked, "What do you think of the assassination of these seventy-three congressmen?"
Leo felt that the old man's question was a bit strange, but he didn't think too much about it. He just guessed and replied: "It should be Rupert Fitz's counterattack. He suffered a big loss at my hands yesterday."
Later, he will accept Ljungberg's invitation and speak out about yesterday's assassination of Rupert and his men.
"Ljungberg?" The old man seemed to have thought of something interesting, and with a smile on his face, he said: "I see, the most important part is here."
Just when Leo was confused by the old man's words and wanted to ask, Vasqi had already taken out a folder and handed it to Leo at the old man's signal.
Leo opened the folder and looked at it with some confusion. He found that the folder was all filled with information about members of the Mainland Congress, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is this the information about the seventy-three mainland members?"
"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "After reading it, tell me what they have in common."
Hearing this, Leo lowered his head and carefully looked through the information in his hand. Although there were seventy-three pieces of information, it was not difficult to read because it had been organized in advance. He did not use the accessory brain system to process the information.
The collection and analysis took about half an hour to read.
After closing the folder and thinking calmly for a moment, Leo slowly said: "They have three things in common. First, they are secret supporters of the three heirs of the French royal family. Second, they all advocate that the Continental Congress should
Interventionists who interfere in the politics of other countries. Thirdly, they are not from the Velen continent. They are all politicians and scholars from the other two continents."
"Not bad! Very good! You are much better than Vaschi at being able to find out what these people have in common so quickly. She...ahem!" The old man was about to tease Vaschi, but when Vaschi glared,
Not necessarily. When the words came to his lips, he took them back, coughed twice, then returned to the topic, and pointedly said to Leo: "Some things don't need to be overly complicated. What kind of power! What kind of hostility?"
! What an ally! Don’t think about that, go straight to the root cause. Often it is easy to get the real answer to some seemingly complicated things. For example, the assassination of seventy-three members of the Mainland Congress, the root cause
Where is the point?”
"The victim of the assassination." Leo's mind quickly became clear.
"So who is the beneficiary?" the old man asked again.
Leo said without thinking: "The French Empire."
"Very correct, but not comprehensive." The old man added: "If you add the Kingdom of England, the answer will be complete."
"Kingdom of Yingge?" Leo vaguely thought of something, but he didn't think it through completely, and there was a look of confusion on his face.
"Although Velen is the largest of the three continents, its political system is the smallest among the three continents. Apart from the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, only the seven Hannossa League countries in the north barely exist in these two continents.
The big country was struggling under the pressure." The old man came to the desk in the living room and found a Velen world map. He spread it out on the table, pointed to the geographical locations of various countries on it, and said: "Compared to the bipolar Velen continent,
In terms of political system, the other two continents are multi-polar political systems. Although both continents have their own powerful countries, those powerful countries are not enough to have an absolute advantage in front of other countries like the French Empire and the Kingdom of England."
Leo asked doubtfully: "Are these national situations related to the assassination of members of the Continental Congress?"
"Of course it's relevant." The old man smiled and said: "Although the Continental Congress is the product of the wisdom of Miria I, it did not develop as Miria I imagined. For the French Empire, the Continental Congress is
A cancer, but in the past this cancer would bring a lot of benefits to the French Empire, so the French Empire has never made up its mind to cut it off. But when the Continental Congress began to secretly interfere in the succession of the French Empire, the Continental Congress sent
No matter how great the interests are, they must be cleaned up. It will be very difficult for the French Empire to clean up the Continental Congress alone, so it naturally needs to find an ally..."
"Kingdom of Yingge!" Leo's face became a little gloomy and he said, "You mean to say that the war in the Eastern Continent is actually a show?"
The old man did not give an affirmative answer, but asked Leo, "Tell me, what is the cause of this war?"
"I remember it was for a rare mineral deposit in the Eastern Continent." Leo carefully recalled his memory and said.
The old man added: "What if I told you that the so-called mineral deposit has actually been hollowed out inside, but there is just a layer of disguised mineral veins on the surface?"
Leo's face was gloomy to the extreme, and there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes. As the old man revealed this deep secret little by little, his confused thoughts began to become clearer, and he said: "This war
If the purpose is just to lure out those ill-intentioned members of the Continental Congress, catch them all, and take the opportunity to force the Continental Congress out of the French Empire, or control the Continental Congress. Then why did Duke Devin use imine gas to attack us? It's hard to do that.
Is this also pre-arranged? Are we using the lives of the lower-class people of England to make this scene look more real?"
"I think the people who designated this plan among the high-level officials of the two countries, although they are not good people, can't do such a thing." The old man shook his head and said: "You should recall that the Kingdom of England is in Vinaya.
After landing in Hong Kong, have we ever encountered any decent resistance from the French Empire’s army? Although the French Empire’s army can no longer compete with the First Army that galloped freely back then, it is not without resistance, let alone
The army of the Kingdom of England. The two sides have been in a stalemate in the Bretey area. Although the fighting was fierce and there were casualties, the casualties were very light until the appearance of Duke Devin."
Leo frowned and said, "You mean Duke Devin was an accident?"
The old man did not answer, but asked in a leaping way: "Do you know why Anne brought you to me, hoping that I could intervene in the Continental Congress complaint process against Duke Devin, but I refused?"
Leo said in a deep voice: "You had already seen through these hidden things, so..."
"No, no!" The old man shook his head and said, "It's just because I can't see through this that I rejected Anne's proposal, even though Duke Devin is the person I hate the most." As he said that, he paused.
, said: "Actually, I have been paying attention to this inexplicable war since the beginning of the war between France and England, but I never understood the purpose of this war. Until last night, the seventy-three Continental Congress
