The middle-aged man hurriedly walked out of the bank, boarded a carriage parked in front of the bank, and then ordered the coachman to go to the old tower. However, he stopped the coachman again halfway, and after thinking for a moment, he gave the order again.

: "Go to the Holy House of Prayer."

So the carriage turned around at an intersection square and drove in the opposite direction to the old tower.

At the same time, in the square where the carriage turned, Leo, who was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary local rich man, and Sylvia, who was wearing a veil and dressed as a lady, watched the carriage leave and did not continue to follow it.

"What a smart guy, he was able to guess that he was being followed." Sylvia couldn't help but praise as she watched the carriage disappear around a corner.

The moment Haresa left the Beloved, Leo and Sylvia were already following her. Although Haresa did not do anything to conceal her destination or mislead possible stalkers before meeting the handover person.

Hai's behavior made them feel a little surprised, but if they think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand Hai

Resa's idea is that his task is just to deliver the things to the handover person. As for what happens after the handover to the person, it has nothing to do with him, so the most important thing for him now is not to do those extra things, but to do it as soon as possible.

Hand the thing over, remove yourself from the situation, and get the rest of the money.

After that, everything Hailesa and the middle-aged man did in the bank were under the surveillance of Leo's spiritual network. Although the bank was filled with protective powers from different churches, it was obvious that they did not expect anyone to come.

If you really have the courage to spy on the bank, all the guardian magic and divine power are used for combat, which allows Leo to easily grasp all the movements in the bank without even using some additional means.

When the middle-aged man checked the box, he found traces that he had deliberately left on the box as Leo had imagined. Leo did this to make the middle-aged man worry about whether the box had been opened, and then for the third time

For a moment, I took the box and looked for someone who could open it and know what was inside.

But the subsequent development surprised him. When the middle-aged man learned that Qiao An was also on the Beloved and came to the Origin Continent, he immediately forgot about the problem on the box and turned his attention directly to Qiao An.

Obviously, in his mind, Joan is more important than the box, which makes his actions after leaving the bank turn to focus on Joan.

Leo knew the middle-aged man's behavior well, so the middle-aged man's change of destination did not affect his judgment. After hearing Sylvia's words, he turned his head and looked towards the old corner of Cape Opia.

He pointed the direction of the tower and said: "But it doesn't matter, we already know his original destination."

"The next step is how to find the person who is connecting with him in the old tower?" Sylvia also looked at the old tower that was not too eye-catching.

"This is not difficult." Leo said with confidence. The reason why he said this was not without purpose, but because he really found some clues that could be used as markers.

Later, the two stopped a carriage on the roadside and ordered the driver to go to the old tower.

Although the Old World is a society controlled by gods, churches and secular feudal nobles, this does not mean that you cannot learn any advanced scientific knowledge in this society. In fact, because of the abundant funds, as long as it does not involve sociology and theology,

The depth of research in other disciplines, including some physics and chemistry disciplines that may deny the existence of gods, in the Old World far exceeds that in the New World.

In the large cities in the Old World, they basically have their own colleges. Although these colleges are under the management of the church, the learning of various knowledge has not been affected much, and even the various churches will not

People from the church are regularly sent to the college to study, so it is not surprising to see a person wearing the attire of a senior clergy holding a book explaining basic physics knowledge in the college to read and study.

It is in sharp contrast to the New World where colleges and churches are almost in opposition.

The Port of Cape Guia has undergone four expansions. Each expansion will result in a new city lighthouse. The old lighthouse will be demolished when the new lighthouse is built and opened. However, one old tower has been preserved. This

The old pagoda is an earthen pagoda built when Cape Opia Port was still a fishing village. It represents the past of Cape Opia Port.

The area around the tower was originally built as a park, but when the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Guia Port offered to fund the construction of a city college, the land was immediately assigned to the college by the city council.

The reason why the city council made this decision so quickly was mainly because the relationship between the people of Cape West and the port management was already on fire at that time, and the old tower that represented the original people of Cape West became a source of dissatisfaction.

It is a spiritual symbol of the people of Cape West, so the management hopes to demolish the old tower when building the college to take the opportunity to lower the morale of the people of Cape West.

However, the Chamber of Commerce organization that took over the construction of the college was not a fool. Naturally, they would not follow the ideas of the city council. Instead of demolishing the old tower, they renovated and reinforced the old tower that was already crumbling due to disrepair.

, and then built Cape West Point College with the old tower as the center.

The current Cape Guia College can be said to be one of the most famous colleges in the entire southern part of the Old World. The reason why it is famous is not because of its amazing academic achievements or the size of the college, but mainly because of

The College of Cape West has gathered almost half of the sociologists, thinkers and philosophers in the entire Old World. Therefore, at least half of the people who study in this college are members of anti-rich organizations like the Barefoot Party, so other countries

Cape West Guia College is also called the Rebel College.

The main reason why such a college that is so hostile to the powerful forces of the entire Old World still exists is that it has two important sponsors, and these two sponsors have blocked the college from pressure from the outside world.

A sponsor is a real sponsor. They are all chambers of commerce that are dissatisfied with various excessive taxes and the solidified status quo of the aristocratic class. Most of these chambers of commerce are rich, but they do not have the power corresponding to their wealth, because

Those powers are firmly in the hands of the nobles

In their hands, the wealth they hold cannot guarantee their safety. The nobles can take away the wealth in their hands at any time for various reasons, so they hope to have a bottom-up revolution that will consolidate the aristocratic class that has been solidified for countless years.

Crush it completely so they can replace it.

Therefore, various anti-powerful civil organizations in the Old World are the targets of their use. They secretly fund these organizations to engage in various anti-powerful movements and armed uprisings. Later, sometimes this anti-powerful fire will burn themselves, but

They still have no intention of giving up, and they still secretly fund low-level organizations like the Barefoot Party that are equally hostile to the powerful and the rich.

More than 90% of Cape West College's funds come from anonymous donations, and these funds ensure that Cape West College can operate normally even without any tuition income or other additional income, and will not be disrupted due to financial problems.

Suspended.

Financial protection is one aspect, and the other aspect is real protection, and this protector is a special church organization, the Holy House of Prayer.

Simply put, the House of Holy Prayer is the United Theological Seminary that all churches in the Old Continent participate in. It gathers the theological knowledge of all the true God churches in the Old Continent and provides corresponding clergy for each church.

The people who study in the Holy Prayer Academy are not ordinary people who actively want to join the church. Those people have already had their own beliefs. They only need to believe in the church and accept the rituals to become believers. The people who study here are

They all come from the orphanages built in towns by Holy Prayer House.

Those who become orphans due to different reasons will live in the orphanage until a certain age, and then go to the Holy Prayer Academy to conduct relevant theological studies until they reach adulthood and complete their studies, and join the corresponding church according to the gods they believe in.

For the church, this kind of orphans who have been trained by the church since childhood and have no worries are the backbone of the church. Therefore, the position of the Holy Prayer House in various churches in the old continent is also very important. It can be appointed as a local Holy Prayer House.

The dean of the hospital must be at least a bishop-level figure in a certain church, and must be a moderate without any prejudice. The Holy House of Prayer in an important port city like Cape Guia Port must be at the level of an archbishop.

Only the characters can take on the role.

After the establishment of Cape Guia College, except for the first dean who was held by a certain count who was very famous in Cape Guia Port at that time, all subsequent deans of the college were concurrently deans of the College of Holy Prayer.

, with such a special big man serving as the dean, no matter how hostile the dignitaries were to Cape West Guia College, they would not dare to do anything extraordinary.

What’s interesting is that the dean of the College of Holy Prayer, as a representative of the church, should have prohibited the college from teaching various sociology, political science, and philosophical ideas, but in fact they did not stop it at all. Instead, they let it go, even when the nobles criticized some scholars in the college.

When accusations of rebellion are made, they will also take the initiative to defend them.

Under the influence of this kind of behavior, no matter what the people who studied at Cape West thought what they thought before coming to study, after studying, they will more or less have a good impression of the church, and then return to their respective places.

In organizations, goodwill will also subtly influence certain decisions of these organizations. This may be the purpose of these abnormal supportive behaviors on the part of the church.

Regardless of whether the church's support has a special purpose, the benefits brought by the support have actually been implemented by Cape West College, which is also a good thing for those who study in Cape West.

There is a special tradition at Cape West Point College, that is, there are open classes for the general public every day. The contents of these open classes are different and the duration is also different, but there are no restrictions on the qualifications for taking classes. Basically,

Anyone can come to the class, including beggars on the street.

In order to make it easier for ordinary people to attend classes, the gate of the college was demolished decades ago, so anyone can easily enter and leave the college. Because there are church knights from the Holy Prayer College who are responsible for the security of the college, so there will be no

There are too many security problems.

In the college, the academic importance of a scholar is directly proportional to the popularity of the scholar's public courses. Therefore, some public courses given by less famous scholars may only be attended by dozens of people, and most of them are still elective.

There are students in each course, and the classes for those extremely famous scholars are so crowded that the college’s amphitheater is needed to accommodate them.

When Leo and Sylvia arrived at the entrance of Cape Guia College, they happened to meet an extremely famous scholar who was giving an open class. Plus today was a day off, so many free people in the city came here.

While attending classes here, the carriage was stopped far away from the entrance of the college. Because there were too many people, the carriage could not go any further.

"How about we also go to the lectures?" Sylvia saw the crowds of people rushing to the academy and couldn't help but become interested and suggested to Leo.

Leo nodded, he was also interested in what the scholar said.

The scholar who started the course this time was named Ronco Byronville. He was an aristocrat. He was already a famous thinker before coming to Cape West Guia College. He once explained anger and anger to people at a gathering of aristocrats.

Because of his behavior, he slapped a crown prince in the face. Not only did he not go to jail for it, but he convinced the crown prince to be impressed by his knowledge and became his student.

Although he was born into an aristocracy, Ronco Byronville himself had no ill will or goodwill towards anti-aristocratic organizations such as the Barefoot Party. The reason why he became a professor of philosophy at Cape Guia College was mainly because of the

His openness to philosophy, theology, and sociology allowed him to conduct unrestricted academic research that would be considered heretical elsewhere.

Leo and Sylvia didn't just hear the name Ronco Byronville. In fact, they already knew this man and read his works when they were in the Ote Federation, but they didn't expect it.

What is surprising is that this scholar actually teaches at Cape Guia College.

The book they read was called "Man, God and Life", and most of the content was about explaining the differences in thinking and life forms between humans and gods.

In mainland China, even in the New World, these are definitely prohibited books that various churches severely crack down on. They will be destroyed as soon as they are discovered. Only countries like the Ott Federation, where the church has little influence, will keep and collect them.

Therefore, they also thought that the author of this book might have encountered something unexpected, but what they didn't expect was that Ronco Byronville was still alive and well, and could even teach his academic thoughts publicly, which really surprised them.

, which is also the main reason why they are interested in listening to the class.
