For others, in a place like the Hotel des Nations, it is the most normal thing for a woman to appear in a man's room. After all, this is a place where local socialites often hang out.

But for Leo, it was a bit abnormal for a woman to appear in Pasa Kagulan's room, because Pasa Kagulan was a beast soul warrior. According to the information he knew, unless the beast soul warrior was in

At a certain time, otherwise it is impossible to have impulses towards anyone of the opposite sex, so the woman who left the shoe prints is definitely not a social butterfly.

Leo squatted down, reached out and wiped the part of the woman's footprints that was not contaminated by other footprints with his fingers, put it under his nose and smelled it carefully. At the same time, he raised the perception of the olfactory organ to the extreme. The dust information contaminated by the large number of footprints was reflected in the sense of smell.

It can be quickly analyzed with high resolution and stored in the brain's memory.

After obtaining the information he wanted, Leo immediately returned his olfactory organs to normal, and then blew his nose vigorously to remove the various smells he had just smelled.

Although Leo has been able to control and enhance various sensory organs in his body for a long time, he rarely uses this ability and keeps it in a normal state most of the time because of the various discomforts caused by the supernormal sensory organs.

Even someone like him who has experienced countless harsh environments will feel intense discomfort.

Just like just now, just by raising the perception of the olfactory organ to the extreme in a short period of time, there are thousands of smells pouring into his nose, except for the smells related to clues that he wants.

, most of the smells are useless environmental smells, and most of these environmental smells are extremely unpleasant. When amplified, they are almost as powerful as poison gas bombs and are enough to drive a normal person crazy.

At this moment, although Leo could no longer smell the strong smell, the discomfort still did not disappear completely. Fortunately, it no longer affected his normal actions.

After finding the clues he wanted, Leo left the Wanguo Hotel where the murder scene was located, returned to the police headquarters via the original route, and returned to the room where he was placed without alerting anyone.

For the next two days, Leo stayed in the room, and his mental network was always paying attention to the situation in the police headquarters and controlling the progress of Parta Kakulan's investigation.

Because the direction of the investigation was completely wrong, the progress of the investigation of the case was naturally not moved at all. The Panier mission was originally angry and frightened because of the death of their deputy, and now they are regarded as suspects by the police, making them even more heartbroken.

Angry, and this emotion was directly brought into the negotiation with the kingdom's mineral mining rights, and even directly stated that if the case was not investigated clearly, there was no need to continue the negotiation.

The stagnation of negotiations naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the kingdom's senior officials. For this reason, the Congress also appointed two members of Parliament as supervisors to be stationed at the police headquarters, responsible for supervising the progress of the case. At the same time, it also suppressed the dissatisfaction of the police department and dispatched people from the Special Bureau to

The police headquarters came to assist in the investigation of this case and strive to solve the case as soon as possible.

At this time, Frank Forson came to the police headquarters, told Leo the news that the matter was completed, and took Leo to the storage location of the Eternal Wisdom Artifact.

"It actually took two days. It seems like the resistance is not small!" In the carriage, Leo looked at the constantly moving scenery outside the window and said as if talking to himself.

"It would have taken some time, but the royal family played a big role in this matter." Frank Forson explained and said, "The batch of potions you sent to the royal family played a big role."

Leo looked at Frank Forson in surprise. He expected that the royal family would help him with the artifact of eternal wisdom. But what he didn't expect was that the reason why the royal family helped him was actually

For the wizard's potion.

Although Leo could feel that the wizard's potion was very precious from the attitude of Frank Forson and Wizard Otto competing for the potion before, but now he found that he still underestimated the value of the wizard's potion.

"Is the wizard's potion that valuable?" Leo asked doubtfully.

"It may not be of such great value at other times, but during this period, the value of the wizard's potion is not low." Frank Fussen explained without hesitation: "I heard that the royal family found the map of the Star Chaser Sea that was left behind from that year, and is preparing to send people

Head to the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars to find a new land suitable for colonization. Your potion can help the expedition reduce casualties, so it will naturally be valuable."

"Sea of ​​Falling Stars?" Leo's heart couldn't help but move when he heard the name.

The Falling Star Sea is a sea area located in the center of the three continents: Moissan, Velen and Sigma. According to statistics from scholars from various countries, its area is more than twice the combined land area of ​​all countries in the three continents.

In addition, some scholars have speculated that based on the behavior of the Falling Star Sea, the divisions of the surrounding islands, and the shapes of the three continents, there was only one piece of land in this world at first. Later, a star city fell and hit the land, causing the earth to fission.

, scattered into pieces, eventually forming the current three continents and countless islands surrounding the Falling Star Sea.

The Falling Star Sea has always been the sea area that all countries that hope to gain hegemony at sea want to conquer, because as long as they can occupy the Falling Star Sea, it is equivalent to completely controlling the sea routes of the entire Velen civilized world, unlike the Kingdom of England now.

Even if it is a maritime hegemon, it cannot prevent the fleets of other countries from roaming the sea.

Now the sea routes linking three continents are in the shape of a ring. Any ship traveling from one continent to the other two continents needs to detour for a while to reach its destination. Moreover, due to the relationship between ocean currents and air currents, the climate of the route is also ever-changing.

, elusive, nearly 80% of shipwrecks are caused by sudden changes in ocean currents.

During the Great Navigation Period, many countries hoped to find a new route from the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, because they found that after entering the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, both the ocean currents and the air currents became much more relaxed, and even on rainy days, storms could not form.

On the contrary, it is no more threatening than the continuous drizzle on land.

Unfortunately, when a ship enters the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, the ship will lose its way inexplicably. If you are lucky, you can leave the Sea of ​​Falling Stars after wandering at sea for a few days, while if you are unlucky, you will stay in the Sea of ​​Falling Stars forever.

"How come there is a map of Falling Star Sea?" Leo couldn't help but asked curiously.

Frank Forson had no scruples and said, "Of course, it's a gift from Poseidon."

Leo was puzzled: "Since there is a sea chart, why before..."

"Because even having a chart is useless." Frank Fussen explained: "After entering the Falling Star Sea, the wind and waves will become smaller and smaller. At the back, the wind and waves will completely disappear, and there will be no ocean currents, just like stagnant water.

In the past, there were sailboats. Entering that sea area was equivalent to entering a dead end. Now that there are steamships, the biggest threat in that sea area is gone. As long as the correct route is found with the help of sea charts, the kingdom can control the entire Sea of ​​Falling Stars.

, truly control the world’s sea routes.”

Leo listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it okay for you to tell me the development plan of the entire country like this?"

"Are you going to tell it?" Frank Forson asked.

Leo didn't answer, and there was no need to answer.

"Is the Falling Star Sea dangerous?" Leo asked again.

"I don't know. This matter is led by the royal family. Not even Congress can get involved, let alone me who is about to retire." Frank Fussen shook his head, paused, and then said:

"But judging from the various materials they have collected recently, it seems that it is not very peaceful there."

Leo didn't ask any more questions. Although he was also very interested in the Falling Star Sea, he didn't have enough information for him to judge the situation, so now was definitely not a good time for him to get involved. At least he had to wait until some news came from Yingge.

After the royal family reveals it, they will consider whether to get involved.

The reason why Leo is also interested in the Sea of ​​Falling Stars is because he believes that the hypothesis made by those scholars that stars fell to the ground and split the earth is correct, and whether the stars are meteorites or other things is open to question. Maybe this has something to do with the Weiya people.

.

Afterwards, Leo and Frank Fossen chatted about some things about the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, but Leo did not get any more useful information from it, and both parties lost interest in talking. They sat silently in the car, each thinking about their own affairs.

matter.

However, Frank Fussen soon couldn't help it anymore and said: "We have blocked all channels leaving Dulin and conducted strict inspections on everyone leaving Dulin. There are people from the Special Bureau at every important road.

Guard, as long as the murderer doesn't leave that night, he will never be able to escape."

"Yeah!" Leo snorted disapprovingly.

Frank Forson could see that Leo was dissatisfied with the method he said, and he vaguely felt that Leo seemed to know some things that he didn't know, and these things might be the key to finding the murderer, but even if he could feel these

, but it was hard for him to ask.

Therefore, he could only find something to say and said: "You said before that Pasa Kakulan was a beast soul warrior. Is there any evidence? I have asked many people from the Panier Mission in the past two days, and they all said

Don’t know about this.”

"Yeah." Leo responded casually again.

Frank Forson frowned impatiently and said in a serious tone: "Is what you said that day true?"

"It's true." Leo responded, and asked: "But what's the use of knowing this? Your investigation was in the wrong direction from the beginning. After such a long incident, the other party may have already left Durin."

Frank Forson did not refute Leo's guess, because this was also the biggest guess in his mind in the past two days. If the murderer is really a beast soul warrior as Leo said, then the special bureau and the police have specially set up for him

The level becomes a joke. The murderer may have gone directly through the swamp forest around Durin and escaped to other places. He may have even left the Kingdom of Inge.

Thinking of this, Frank Forson's mood became a little heavy.

"Don't worry, things aren't bad yet." Leo suddenly said.

Hearing what Leo said, Frank Fussen was stunned and asked anxiously: "Did you discover something?"

However, when faced with the inquiry, Leo just smiled and did not say anything further.

Seeing Leo like this, Frank Forson was both angry and amused, but he also knew that no matter how much he asked, Leo would not be able to reveal his findings, so he could only stop the topic.

After driving on the road for about ten minutes, the carriage entered the commercial district on the east side of Durin and stopped in front of a magnificent building composed of dozens of marble columns and giant rocks.

"National Bank?" Leo muttered after getting off the carriage, looking up at the English words engraved on the eaves of the building.

Before, Leo had guessed that the artifact might be stored in a secret place, protected by some powerful people, and only those who passed special tests could get close to it, but he never thought that the artifact's storage location turned out to be the Kingdom of Yinge.

The National Bank, where everyone can see it.

However, while being surprised, he felt that this approach was very reasonable. After all, except for a few special places in the entire Kingdom of England, almost all other places were not as safe as the National Bank, not to mention

Placing things in the National Bank can also protect the property in the National Bank at the same time. This is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"It's a bit unexpected!" Frank Forson looked at Leo's expression and knew exactly what Leo was thinking at this moment.

"Yes, it's a bit unexpected." Leo nodded.

"I, too, was surprised when I found out that the artifact was placed here." Frank Fussen also laughed at himself and said, "However, it is very safe here, safer than the Special Bureau headquarters."

Leo turned his head and looked at Frank Forson. He didn't speak, but there was a look of doubt in his eyes.

"You'll know when you get in." Frank Forson smiled and without explaining, led Leo up the more than 100 steps in front of the bank.

After the two entered the bank, they were immediately greeted by several people waiting at the door. After saluting Frank Forson, they turned to look at Leo Dodd, and then turned to look at him inquiringly.

Look at Frank Forson.

"Yes, he is." Frank Forson nodded and said.

After receiving the response, several people said nothing more and led the two people into the side hall, and then entered a small garden area from the side hall, then turned around two corridors and came to the small courtyard located in the center of the bank.

In the garden.

There was a maze built in the woods in the middle of this small garden. The few people walked straight into the maze, followed closely by Frank Forson and Leo.

After several people passed the third flower wall composed of trees, the people leading the way stopped almost at the same time, then reached out and inserted their hands into the nearby trees, seeming to grab something, and then pulled a few times.
Chapter completed!
