"Didn't he agree?" After learning about the Lord of the Black Forest's promise to the King of Knights, Tessa Mocha couldn't help but be curious and asked Count Pipero, but after asking, she felt that she had asked another

Stupid question, because if the King of Knights agreed to the promise of the Lord of the Black Forest, then there would be no Fran Empire.

Although Count Piperro also felt that there was no need to answer this question, he still responded due to his current situation: "He did not agree to become a god because after becoming the god of the Black Forest, he could no longer leave the Black Forest. He chose another choice.

One way, he decided to sign a contract with the Black Forest, a contract that would allow the French royal family to stand forever in the Velen continent."

Sylvia asked: "Does the content of this contract mean that the royal family can rely on the power of the Black Forest in times of crisis?"

Count Piperro answered truthfully: "There should be this one. I don't know the specific content. I just know that the contract between the royal family and the Black Forest involves two things. One is the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest, and the other is

Contract Ring."

"Since it is related to blood, then everyone in the royal family should have the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest, right?" Sylvia asked again. This question she was actually asking the current king of the United Kingdom of France.

"It's not like that. Only Emperor Fran has the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest. The other royal families only have the opportunity to obtain the blood." Count Pipero explained. After seeing how many people could understand his explanation, he continued: "

I don’t know much about the contract, but I know what Louis X is doing now.”

As soon as Count Pipero finished speaking, Leo immediately finished his words and said, "Does he want to use the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest in his body to regain the position of god that the King of Knights gave up back then?"

Count Piperro was stunned and looked at Leo with some confusion. He never thought that the royal secret that he thought was very valuable would be revealed by Leo like this.

After a while, he finally recovered and asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

"It's very simple. It can be inferred from some of the things that the French Empire is doing now." Leo responded calmly, and then showed a thoughtful look.

Looking at it now, what the French Emperor Louis

This also made Leo realize that the contract ring was definitely not as simple as he thought before, and there must be some secrets in it that he didn't know, because Bailu would actually find an outsider like him to retrieve the ring, and recycling Black

The blood of the Lord of the Forest means that this ring is more important than the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest. This makes him wonder what kind of contract the King of Knights signed with the Lord of the Black Forest back then.

Sylvia frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Is it just this so-called royal secret?"

"Of course not, the real secret lies in the ceremony for him to become a god." Count Piperrot quickly added: "How Louis X will become a god, I don't know, but I know that there is a step that must be completed, and that is that year

The scene where the King of Knights and the Lord of the Black Forest made a contract must be recreated, that is, both parties who made the contract, the contract tokens and witnesses must be present." As he said, he pointed to himself and said: "I am the witness.

Descendants of human beings, I am also the key to Louis X becoming a god."

After saying these words, Count Piperro believed that an important bargaining chip was already in his hands, because if Sylvia or the United Kingdom wanted to destroy Louis X's plan, he must be sent away and protected.

Well, although he will lose a little freedom, he does not have to worry about the danger of his life in a short period of time, and he is also confident that as long as he is given enough time, he can master the power given by the alien cells in his body and transform himself back to normal.

He looks like a person, and will think of a way to escape when the time comes.

"No! You are not the key. The key is the blood descendants of the glorious nobles." However, Leo soon broke Count Pipero's illusions and said: "Although you are the heir to the glorious nobles, his blood descendants are not

You are not the only one, and you have been integrated with the supernatural cells of the Eye of Truth. Your bloodline has long been impure. At that time, the French official will only need to claim that you are dead and choose another bloodline from the Pipero family.

Just let a more pure clan member inherit your title."

After hearing Leo's narration, Count Pipero was stunned. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Obviously, the physical mutation also affected his intelligence. Otherwise, he would not have thought of such an obvious loophole. This is also

It made him understand why the French Empire's secret department was sparing no effort to hunt him down, instead of trying to capture him alive, because in Louis X's view, there was no need to capture him alive.

Although he already understood in his heart that he was not the only witness candidate as Leo said, he could not admit it because this admission would give him less chips to protect himself, and he would not know what Sylvia and the others would do.

Will not help himself escape the empire.

Just when Count Piperro was thinking of rebuttal, Sylvia said: "You don't have to worry about leaving the empire. Since I made a promise, I will definitely abide by it. But the so-called secret value you mentioned is far from

It’s far from what I paid, so you have to pay some extra price.”

Count Piperro hesitated for a moment and asked: "What price?"

"I know that although your Pipero family has territories in other places, you stay in towns in royal territories such as Donglin City all year round." Sylvia said straight to the point: "After so many years of management, your Pipero family

The family should have established many secret forces in the royal family's territory. Your escape this time should have been helped by these forces, so I need you to hand over these forces to me."

"No!" Count Piperro refused without even thinking: "These forces have been built up little by little by the Piperro family over the years. They are the foundation for the permanent existence of the Piperro family. I will never

Give it to someone else.”

"Don't worry, listen to me." Sylvia said calmly: "You are about to leave the empire. Once you leave, those forces will definitely be out of your control. Even if you don't leave, you will not be able to unite.

The kingdom controls the forces here, and with the new Count Pipero succeeding to the throne, do you think you can continue to control these forces?"

Count Pipero fell silent. As Sylvia said, these forces belonging to the Pipero family will inevitably be controlled by the new Count Pipero in the near future. As for the length of time, it depends on France.

When will the empire announce the new Count Pipero, and how will the new Count Pipero find relevant information about those forces without the guidance of the previous generation of Count Pipero.

"I can give you the list of those who have not been discovered by the empire, but I cannot guarantee that each of them is extremely loyal, and they are all loyal to Count Piperro. Once the French Empire announces the new Piper

If you choose Earl Luo, you will probably be betrayed by them if you contact them."

Sylvia said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. Just give me the list. As for how to deal with them and how to make them obedient, it is our own business."

Seeing that Sylvia was so determined, Count Piperro said nothing more, and then reported a dozen names. The people represented by these names involved all walks of life in the French royal territory, among which

There are many royal merchants who specialize in providing supplies to the royal family, as well as some craftsmen from the bottom of society.

After Sylvia recorded these lists, she asked Count Piperro to ask some questions involving the lists of these people. She wanted to know as much about these people as possible so that she could control them after sneaking into the French royal territory in the near future.

Help yourself.

During this period, Leo did not stay in the villa anymore, but left the villa and rushed towards Rutem City, which is located on the south side of Cambay Town. According to the news obtained by Monin, the entire Sardinian County except Sardinia

Outside of Ding City, only Rutem City has a black market.

Because there was no one else slowing him down, Leo was able to go at full speed. After leaving the villa, he arrived at Rutem City in less than twenty minutes.

Just like most other cities in the French Empire, the center of Rutem City is still a huge Knight Fortress. All neighborhood roads are built around the Knight Fortress. The entire city is shaped like a

Irregular concentric circles.

There is no city wall built on the periphery of this city, which means that even at night, outsiders are still not prohibited from entering the city. However, I don’t know whether it is because of this system itself or because mutants frequently appear and cause trouble in the city streets.

There are a lot of city gendarmes and policemen patrolling the place. They don't check the identity documents of people coming and going. They only focus on people who cover themselves up with clothes.

Before Leo entered the city, through the control of his body muscles and the use of the power of the Faceless Men, he became shorter and his face became a square face. He also had a strong body and deliberately

Wear the weapon on your body and expose it to the outside, looking like a bounty hunter.

In the French Empire, although the main force against those out-of-control mutants is the secret department of the French Empire, there are also some bounty hunters who come for the bounties. As the second largest city in Sardinia, Lutem

The city has also become a gathering place for bounty hunters from surrounding villages and towns. People dressed like him are not uncommon in Rutem City, and the military police and police also know their identities. As long as they do not take the initiative to cause trouble, the military police and police generally

Won't cause trouble for them.

With his changed appearance and form, Leo easily entered Rutem City and found the entrance to the black market based on Monin's description.

In fact, Leo was also able to find the black market without Moning's narration at all, because after he entered the city, he saw no less than two groups of bounty hunters, and several of them even radiated obvious energy.

Fluctuation should be extraordinary.

The place they went to was the same as Leo's, which was the black market of Rutem City, and the place where this black market was located was very special, it was in the largest underground arena of Rutem City.

The place where Rutem City is located was originally a virgin forest. It was one of the coldest places south of the Venoway Mountains every winter. It was a typical bitter cold place, so it was also a place of exile for criminal prisoners at first.

What the prisoners who were exiled here have to do is cut wood, and these things can only be done in summer and autumn, because in winter and spring, the tree trunks will be as hard as stone due to the freezing climate, making it difficult to cut, so in winter and spring

Even the prisoners have nothing to do but stay in the prison camp and wait for the coming summer.

In order to give these prisoners something to do during the long winter and spring, to vent their excess experiences, and to avoid causing trouble to the garrison, the warden of the prisoner camp at that time built a small arena at his own expense, and then took out some

Money and materials are given as rewards to the last judge among the prisoners who participated in the competition.

Although this arena was the whim of the warden at that time, and the warden was even impeached by the empire's parliamentarians because of this incident, the arena has been completely preserved, and with the development of Lutem City

It developed and was constantly renovated, and eventually it became one of the most distinctive entertainment activities in Rutem City. Although it is not nationally famous, anyone who travels here will know something about the arena more or less.

This evening, the arena is hosting two competitive events. These two competitive events are not bloody competitions with swords, but two ball games that have been very popular in the French Empire in recent years.

.

The black market that Leo is going to is in the underground venue below the arena. It was originally a rest room for competitive performers. Because in the early years, some competitions were bloody competitions with hundreds of people fighting. The arena needed a place to rest for the competitors waiting to enter.

place, so someone proposed to hollow out the underground of the arena and transform it into such a lounge.

Because the people who participated in the Hundred-Man Massacre in the early days were all prisoners, this rest room was built somewhat like a prison. Even though it has been transformed by the black market, it still has the shadow of a prison.

Leo did not undergo any test when he entered the black market. Judging from the bounty hunters who entered it first, even ordinary people can come in here. So in this black market, he saw something different from other black markets.

That is, the number of ordinary people in this black market far exceeds that of extraordinary beings.

And because there are so many ordinary people, this black market is more like an ordinary trading market. Various vendors place the things they want to sell on the ground, instead of waiting for discerning people to find them, they shout loudly.
