Leo walked to the altar and knelt down to inspect the altar.
Different from the altars of gods in other churches, the altar of the elegant lady is very small and simple. It is just a stone platform. Behind the platform is a carefully carved cat statue, and it is decorated with a circle of sparrow vines around it, forming a small
flower garden.
It is recorded in the wizard's notes that the vine is a magical plant. Its flowers can be used to refine medicine and its thorns can be used to produce poisons. As the vine grows older, a magic field will be formed around the vine that is conducive to the wizard's practice.
Therefore, in the past, wizards would plant this magical plant outside their wizard towers.
When Leo squatted down to check the altar, he could feel a weak spiritual energy fluctuation surrounding him. It can be seen that the sparrow vine does have the effect of improving the spiritual energy environment.
In addition, according to Leo's knowledge of plants learned from medical classics, he found that the group of bird's eye vines in front of him had grown for at least a hundred years. Considering the environment of Vinaya Port in the past, it was not difficult to guess that this group of bird's eye vines was not
Newly planted, but transplanted.
This discovery also made Leo realize that the elegant lady believer who decorated the altar must have very good plant transplanting abilities, because so far, the botany department of the medical school has not found the correct method to successfully transplant the bird vine. There is obvious transplantation in the area in front of him.
If the characteristic bird vine is seen by people from the medical school, it will definitely trigger a series of sensational reactions.
Leo could tell from the tidy environment around the altar and the carefully trimmed sparrow vines that the person who built the altar was very careful, and this care and carefulness also revealed a kind of devout belief, so he could almost judge the construction of the altar.
The altar bearer must be a devout believer of Lady Elegant, and should also be a senior member of Lady Elegant Church, perhaps even at the level of the officiant.
I saw that Leo suddenly stretched out his hand and drew a symbol that looked like an eye on the stone platform of the altar. This symbol was learned by Leo from the knowledge of the web weaver. Its function is to check whether any god altar is in the ten
Have any sacrifices been made during the day? This kind of sacrifice is not a simple sacrifice where the sacrifices are placed casually and then a prayer is made, but a real sacrifice. The party making the sacrifice must be a full-time priest of the church with spiritual power.
After the sacrifice ceremony, the sacrifice must also be enjoyed by the gods, otherwise it will not be considered a formal sacrifice.
Just when Leo finished drawing the symbol and injected spiritual energy into it according to the method he learned, the symbol immediately glowed with bursts of white light, and then Leo seemed to hear a cat meowing in his ears. Although this sound
It didn't sound like much of a deterrent, but Leo felt an inexplicable pressure. This pressure didn't come from the body, but the pressure brought about by the gap in spiritual levels.
However, this pressure did not have much impact on Leo because of his super strong willpower, and it did not even affect his physical movements.
These discoveries allowed Leo to obtain a lot of useful information. For example, the elegant lady does still exist, just like the Lord of the Sky, but his situation does not seem to be good. He is in a state of only spirit and no body. Otherwise,
, it won’t just bring mental pressure to Leo.
In addition, Lady Elegant’s psychic level does not exceed level nine, maybe only about eight levels, which is equivalent to the Eye of Truth. Because if Lady Elegant has evolved to an advanced omega-level creature, even if she has no body and only exists in spirit, she is still enough to deal with thunder.
Ou caused all-round suppression, and he would never be able to get rid of the pressure caused by the cat's meow easily by the will of Leo's ninth-level psyker like now.
Another discovery was that the original meaning of the symbols on the Leozi'a altar was that a sacrifice was completed on this altar within ten days. During that sacrifice, the elegant lady came in person and enjoyed the sacrifice.
After getting the answer he wanted, Leo decided to go to the nearby apartment to find the high priest of the elegant lady.
However, when he stood up and was about to turn around, his body movements stopped, a little surprise appeared on his face, and then he looked around.
I saw that at some point hundreds of cats had gathered in this small garden. They were either squatting, lying down, standing on the wall, or climbing on the branches.
No matter what posture he is doing now, he is staring at Leo with those cat eyes.
Ordinary people would definitely feel uncomfortable being stared at by so many pairs of cat eyes, but Leo did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he glanced at the group of cats and finally landed on the one lazily crawling on the wooden chair in the garden.
An orange cat then walked over, lowered his head and said to the orange cat: "Your Excellency, why don't you come out and meet me?"
The orange cat showed a human expression of surprise on his face, obviously surprised that Leo could find him out from the group of cats so easily, and then he let out a meow, and all the cats around him seemed to have heard the command.
They generally dispersed, and soon only Leo and the orange cat were left in the garden.
"There is no need to meet. It is good for both of us to talk like this." The orange cat licked its paw and said to Leo: "A strong man whom I have never seen before suddenly came to the altar of my lord, inspiring my lord.
The power left in the altar cannot allow me to be careless, after all, there are still many enemies in this world."
"Leo Dodd, a traveler." Leo introduced himself.
"Doris Weil, the owner of the small garden." At this time, a soft female voice came from the garden entrance in the direction of the apartment building, and then a graceful woman with a shawl on her body walked in.
After entering the garden, he came to Leo, picked up the orange cat, sat on a chair, then put the orange cat on his lap and stroked it gently.
Just like the Elegant Lady, believers in the Elegant Lady's Church will always maintain their elegant posture. It is this posture that makes many ladies choose to believe in the Elegant Lady, thus making the Elegant Lady's Church among the nobles.
The circle spread.
Leo stared at the other party, not fascinated by the other party's gesture. He still looked cold and asked directly: "Just twenty minutes ago, someone committed a robbery at the antique store of the Holy Blood Society.
I walked away with three skull bowls, these three skull bowls are exactly what I wanted to buy, and I don’t want to lose these three skull bowls.”
"My lord, what does this matter have to do with me?" Although Doris Weier still maintained her elegant posture, she could already faintly feel Leo's power, and her tone involuntarily lowered her voice.
less, and even more proactively put himself on the weaker side in terms of address.
Leo said in a deep voice: "I saw a cat pendant on one of the antique shop customers. After the accident, the pendant disappeared, but the antique shop customer never knew that he had such a pendant.
fall."
An ugly look appeared on Doris Weir's face immediately. It was obvious that she knew who the incarnation of the cat god belonged to, and she also knew the consequences of provoking the Holy Blood Society in Vinaya Port.
"That's not what I did." Doris Weil said instinctively.
"I know you didn't do it." Leo could tell that the other party wasn't lying, and then said, "But you must know who did it?"
Doris did not hesitate or think, and said directly: "I don't know who that person is. I just know that he came to Vinaya City two months ago. Although he is also a believer of the elegant lady, he believes in
It's not the way of elegance, but the way of thieves, which has nothing to do with me. More than a month ago, I accidentally met him when he was stealing a noble's collection, but we didn't have any communication, we just had a tacit understanding.
It’s just about not interfering with each other.”
Leo thought for a moment and then asked: "The cats in the entire Vinaya Port are your eyes and ears. You should know the location of this person, right?"
Doris shook her head and said: "The elegant lady's thieves are best at hiding. Even I don't know where he is." After saying that, she paused again and continued: "The only thing I can be sure of is
He must be a noble, and he is also a noble of the French Empire."
Leo asked: "Why are you so sure? Haven't you never had contact with him?"
"Although I have not been in contact with him, my cat has seen him stealing things. I can tell from his actions that he has received very orthodox knight training. In the entire Velen world, only the French Empire has regulations
Nobles must receive formal knight training." Doris explained, but seemed worried that Leo would not believe her words, so she added: "Just like I see you now, even if you don't tell me, I know you
He is a warrior, and a warrior who has experienced countless battles. You don’t need to observe carefully, you can smell the strong smell of blood just by smelling it.”
Hearing this, Leo did not question Doris's words. He stood up and was about to leave. However, when he reached the exit of the garden, he suddenly stopped again, turned around and asked Doris: "Do you know him?"
Why did you steal the skull bowl?"
"I don't know about this." Doris shook her head, looking helpless.
Seeing this, Leo didn't ask any more questions, walked out of the garden, and the figure quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
After Leo left, Doris, who had always maintained an elegant state, finally began to breathe heavily regardless of her posture. It took a while to recover from the nervousness, and her breathing gradually weakened.
"Damn it, I already knew that guy would cause me trouble. I didn't expect to provoke such a powerful person. His strength is probably similar to that of Lord Crow from the Holy Blood Society. I'm afraid I'll be in trouble this time." Dori.
Si's face was extremely gloomy. After thinking for a moment, she immediately stood up and returned to the apartment building. She pushed aside the guests who were about to approach her and walked directly to the attic office on the top floor. Then she pulled a few of the cables in the office.
rope.
After a while, someone knocked on the door outside the office. As Doris called in, seven people wearing different clothes walked in from the outside. Among the seven people were businessmen, nobles, and some.
There were porters and policemen, including a child wearing a peaked cap.
"The glory of elegance will always shine on you, dear lady." After entering, several people took off their hats in unison and praised in a not very neat voice.
"The glory of elegance will never go out." Doris also made a religious gesture representing an elegant lady, and then she asked the seven people in front of her very seriously: "I need to ask you something, and you must answer it honestly.
Because this matter is related to whether our church will conflict with the Society of the Holy Blood."
After hearing Doris's words, several people showed puzzled expressions on their faces, but at the same time they said they would answer the questions honestly.
Doris looked at her subordinates and asked in a deep voice: "Did any of you sell information about Old Bill's antique shop to strangers during this time?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. Only the kid with the peaked cap turned very ugly. He took a step forward and said, "Madam, I sold a piece of information about Old Bill's antique shop."
"Who sold it to?" Doris looked at the child with a gloomy face and asked.
"Brother Nick." The child replied immediately.
"Ah? Brother Little Nick?" At this time, a young man wearing overalls and looking like an ordinary worker exclaimed, and his face turned quite white.
"What's going on?" Doris turned to the young man and asked.
The young man looked at Doris nervously and said cautiously: "Yesterday, my men received an order. Someone offered five thousand Vinaya coins to kill Brother Nick Jr."
"You shouldn't have already taken action, right?" The man dressed as an aristocrat on the side seemed to be very concerned about the young man's situation, but there was some gloating in his eyes.
The young man glared at his colleague, then lowered his head towards Doris and said, "Just an hour ago, I personally sank brother Nick into the sea."
"Damn it!" Doris cursed loudly, not caring about losing her manners in front of her men.
At this time, Doris knew very well that she had been framed, and now she was completely connected with this matter. The information was sold from her, and she killed the person who sold the information, even if she told the Holy Blood Society
She was not the one who robbed the Antique Shop of the Holy Blood Society, and I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly.
After getting angry, she thought quickly and ordered to her subordinates: "Now you must gather people immediately to monitor the noble areas of the French Empire." Then, she said to the child and young man: "You two are now
Follow me to the Holy Blood Society, I hope I can explain it clearly."
"Madam, what exactly happened?" Among the seven, the oldest businessman couldn't help but ask.
Doris did not hide anything and told everyone what Leo said. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath and realized the seriousness of the problem. Although the Holy Blood would be elsewhere
They don’t have much reputation, but they are well-deserved underground overlords in Vinaya Port. Now someone has robbed their antique shop, and it is still in the underground city controlled by the headquarters of the Holy Blood Society. This is simply taking away the Holy Blood Society.
A slap in the face, and those of them who were indirectly involved in this robbery will definitely suffer first.
