Because the federal government's emphasis on Leo has increased to the highest level, when Leo and Sylvia's train arrived at the terminal at Fort Josh, there was already a security team specially arranged by the federal government waiting at the station platform. On the other hand, Leo's security number has grown from a few to more than 30.

This security team is not under the jurisdiction of the original special security personnel. They are a relatively independent security team. The reason for this is mainly because this team is sent by the military rather than the prime minister's office. People in the Secret Service.

Although the Secret Service and the military security personnel do not belong to each other and are in charge of their own affairs, this does not mean that there is no cooperation between the two. In fact, from the meeting between the two, the conversation between the Secret Service Captain Cardi and the other's security captain Obviously, this is not the first time the two parties have cooperated, and since then, they can see that they cooperate very well with each other.

Leo and Sylvia have no objection to the newly added security personnel. Even if there are some monitors in these security personnel, they have the same security in their eyes. Even Leo still welcomes the arrival of these people because of this. It saved him the trouble of finding test subjects. In his eyes, these strong and sturdy military elites are the best test materials.

Originally, Leo and Sylvia were also going to stay in Fort Josh for two days to take a good stroll around this one of the few well-preserved ancient cities in the Otter Federation.

During the religious war, Fort Josh was one of the few cities that were not affected by the war. A large number of nobles in the war zone at that time fled to Fort Josh with their families. These nobles also joined Otter after the war. The Federation gradually formed an old aristocratic political force within the Haute Federation.

Although these noble survivors who have experienced religious wars also hate the churches that initiated religious wars, they still retain part of their belief in gods, unlike the founders of the Haute Federation who completely abandoned their belief in gods. .

This also makes Joshburg become one of the few cities in the Haute Federation with a strong atmosphere of spiritual beliefs. Although there is no church here, the belief in gods has been rooted in the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of the locals of Joshburg. This also makes Ou The Special Federation has always worried that Fort Josh will become a breakthrough point for the neighboring church countries against the Federation, so the Federation will send a corps of troops to stay in Fort Josh.

Because of the church spy matter, the Otter Federation realized that the penetration power of church spies was extraordinary, and other cities were like this, so how could Josh Fort, which has such a strong spiritual belief, be an exception, so Josh Fort is already very insecure. So when the assigned military security captain saw Leo, he strongly stated that he should leave Fort Josh as soon as possible.

Leo and Sylvia did not behave very peculiarly. They followed the advice of the military security captain and rode out of Fort Josh in a carriage prepared by each other.

Just when they left, Leo's spiritual network had already discovered that some people were tracking them in secret, but these people had very good tracking skills, and they were never noticed by the military security personnel walking on the outermost periphery. Leo He didn't plan to remind him either. On the contrary, he hoped to draw out some interesting guys through these people, so as to avoid the boring life of him and Sylvia in Trub Mountain Manor.

Mount Trub is located in the southeast of Fort Josh. It takes about two days to take a horse-drawn carriage. It was originally part of the Petain Mountains, but because of a major earthquake, the mountains of Trouble and Petain Mountains It was completely cut off, and the rupture formed the Trub River, which now runs through Josh County.

For a long time, Mount Trub has been regarded by various churches as a holy mountain, a holy place, and a place of gifts from the gods. The main reason is that Mount Trub contains a mysterious power that can promote the rapid growth of trees. Other places need it. Trees that can only grow into lumber for decades can only take a few years or less in Trübberg.

And no matter what type of tree becomes a timber in the Trub Mountain, the wood will carry a very special fragrance in it. This fragrance is said to make it easier for the clergy to enter into a kind of spiritual friendship in some church ceremonies. status.

So when the various churches ruled this area, those churches would build temples, sanctuary, churches, etc. on Mount Trub, and there were special departments responsible for cutting down and planting trees on Mount Trub. Planting planned planting and felling, so that the original vegetation and species on the Trüb Mountain were replaced by precious tree species from all over the world.

There is a joke in Josh County, saying that a handful of grass grabbed from the ground after entering Trub Mountain may be some kind of precious species that has become extinct elsewhere.

Although this joke is a bit exaggerated, it also proves that the various species that grow on Trub Mountain are precious, far more than other regions.

After the founding of the Haute Federation, all the forest areas of the Trüb Mountain were nationalized, and all the mission sites of the church were destroyed, demolished, and even modified.

For example, some of the estates used by the nobles to escape the summer heat in the surrounding area of ​​Trüb Mountain used some church temples. The church was converted, and the manor given to Leo and Sylvia by the Haute Federation is also this type of converted manor.

In addition, the Otter Federation has also established a special forest farm in Trub Mountain to cut, plant and maintain the trees there. For a long time after the founding of the Otto Federation, the trees exported to Trub Mountain have become the mainstay of the Federation. The economic backbone of the country sustains all kinds of federal expenditures.

It is precisely because of this that the Otter Federation has gradually become stronger, and the various resources at its disposal have increased, and the logging of Trub Mountain has also been reduced. More maintenance and planting have been carried out, and the brokerage forest farm has been gradually reduced.

The forest farm traded by the Haute Federation to Leo is a small forest farm that is about to be cancelled. The forest farm is not large in size and is located on the edge of the Trub Mountain. The tree species planted here are economic tree species with a short growth cycle. It is not particularly precious, but because of the special nature of the Trub Mountain trees, the price of this type of tree is similar to that of the precious tree species outside.

This forest farm is not too far away from Leo's manor. You only need to cross a small river and over a small hill to get there.

When Leo and Sylvia's carriage arrived at their manor, it was already the third day. The road went smoothly without any trouble.

This is mainly because the dignitaries from Fort Josh and other places in Josh County often go to the manor around Trub Mountain for vacation, so for safety and convenience, these people have built several roads leading to Trub Mountain and also Let the local farmers form a patrol team and often patrol the road, thus ensuring the safety of travelers on the road.

At this time, the interior of the manor has been sorted out, and the housekeepers and servants who were arranged to go ahead are lucky. Although the trains they took were also stuck at some stations, they were stuck for only one day at most, and in many cases they were released in half a day. Yes, they came to the manor more than ten days earlier than Leo.

In these ten days, they only cleaned the inside and outside of the manor according to Sylvia's previous instructions. The areas that needed to be repaired were repaired as they were, and the vegetation of the manor was also cleaned up. As for the ancient churches that were left behind. The ruins of the temple did not move, because after Leo learned about the manor, he was also very interested in these ruins and wanted to study it.

In addition, the housekeeper also sent people to the forest area to receive the industry there, and count the types and numbers of trees there, as well as the growth cycle, cutting rules, and so on.

"You are doing a good job, I'm very satisfied." Sylvia looked at the report sent by the butler, nodded, and said: "You have been working hard these days. You can arrange for half of them to take turns to rest for two days. In addition, my husband and I will reward you with half a month's salary as a reward."

Sylvia's words made the faces of all the servants present smile. They originally thought it was enough to get a few compliments, but now they have an extra half a month's salary, which naturally makes them have a kind of surprise. Hi feeling.

Seeing that Sylvia had nothing to order, the steward motioned to the servants to retreat, and he showed a hesitant expression, as if there was something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Is there anything else?" Such an obvious expression naturally couldn't escape Sylvia's eyes, she asked in a deep voice.

The butler hesitated and said, "There is one thing, but that thing is not easy to say..."

"Speak directly, don't hesitate." Sylvia frowned, dissatisfied.

The housekeeper quickly said: "We had some small conflicts with the loggers when we took over the forest farm. The logging work of the forest farm was fixed to a family called Vinolin. When we took over the forest farm, we were going to continue to hire this family at the original price. Lumberjack, but the other party wanted to double the salary. Of course we didn't want to, so we directly fired the lumberjack from this family and prepared to find other lumberjack families.”

"Is there no other family of lumberjacks willing to take over our forest farm?" Sylvia sneered and said.

"Yes, I have searched all the lumberjack families around Trub Mountain and none of them are willing to take over our forest farm." The butler nodded and added: "It's not just this matter, our forest farm in recent days. It seemed to be haunted by ghosts. The people I sent to the forest farm escaped the next day and told me that they had seen ghosts in the forest farm."

"Haunted?" Leo sitting on the sofa became interested and said, "Is it really haunted or fake?"

"It's true." The butler said with some lingering fears: "I thought it was fake at first, so I took the people from the manor to the forest farm for one night, and found it was true. We really saw ghosts. People who died before, they all..."

The housekeeper looked lingering. He didn't know if it was because he was too frightened, he didn't want to continue to remember, or he couldn't find the right words to describe everything he saw, and he got stuck there for a while, saying no. Go down.

Neither Leo nor Sylvia urged him, but waited quietly for a while.

The butler seemed to relax, and continued: "Anyway, what I saw was very terrifying. Even if I think about it now, I feel that my heart will stop immediately. Later, I asked people about the forest farm. It turned out that not only Only our forest farm, and the entire Trub Mountain forest farm, have similar weird things. It is said that it was a ghost made before the departure of a certain church of the gods. Only special lumberjack families can resist this kind of weirdness, so the Vinolin family Only then will you be so confident."

"There is such an interesting thing!" Leo even showed a look of expectation after hearing it.

"I know a little bit about this." At this time, the special security captain Cady, who was always standing by the door, suddenly spoke.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cardi.

Cardi didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: “The mountain tribe I belonged to settled in Mount Trub a long time ago. Later, after the cataclysm cut off the connection between the Betten Mountains and Mount Trub, our tribe was affected. The attacks of other tribes had to escape to the depths of the Petain Mountains, and then settled in the Petain Mountains until today. Although my tribe left Mount Trub a long time ago, some legends about Mount Trub are still circulated. After it came down, there was the haunted legend from the housekeeper. In fact, it should not be said to be haunted. The correct way to say it should be original sin."

"Original Guilty Heart?" Leo and Sylvia raised their eyebrows when they heard this kind of vocabulary with a strong religious flavor.

Cardi explained: "There is a very special power in some parts of Trub Mountain. This power will appear at some point, so that people in contact with him can see the deepest original sin hidden in his heart, which is The so-called ghosts that I see are actually the most feared people in the heart of the viewer. The shamans of the mountain tribes also used this special power to practice spiritually."

After Leo heard this, he was slightly confused and said: "I'm a little surprised, since this kind of power is so powerful, then what is going on with the lumberjack family? How can their family quell this disaster?"

"I don't know this." Cardi shook his head, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Leo could see that Cady really didn't know. UU read www.uukanshu.com, he thought about it, turned to Sylvia, and said, “Since we have moved to a new house, we naturally have to hold a banquet. Let's get acquainted. Neighbors, like in Beluk, what do you think?"

"Yeah! I should meet new friends too." Sylvia smiled, nodded in agreement, and then gave a few orders to the butler on the side, indicating that both the butler and Cardi can leave.

Just after Leo and Sylvia were left in the room, they stood up in unison, walked to the fireplace, looked at the shield hung on the fireplace, and showed serious expressions on their faces.

"Is it the same?" Leo asked, turning his head to look at Sylvia.

Sylvia nodded.

Leo asked again: "Is it a coincidence? Or..."

Sylvia said with some uncertainty: "Maybe it's a coincidence? If someone conspired, we wouldn't have felt it in advance." Then he took a closer look at the shield, or the badge on the shield, The question asked: "There are also people from the Belmont family in this world?"
