The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"My lord, do you want something?" After Leo walked into a shop that looked rather big, the shop owner came up to him and asked Leo respectfully.

The reason why the attitude of the store owner is different from that of the clergyman of the Sea God Church just now is entirely because Leo's temperament has changed a little under his adjustment. He didn't adjust too much, nor did he change his appearance. , just exerted a little bit of ocean power on his body that he felt from those remains.

These ocean powers have slightly changed his temperament, making him look like some priests of the Sea God Church, so even if he doesn't show any characteristics of the variation of the sea clan, it will still make the shop owner lower his figure.

"I want to find the Sea Monster Conch." Leo asked directly.

The reason why he chose this shop is mainly because most of the shops sold in this shop are items that contain special energy, and there are several items that should be some kind of strange objects, which shows the content of this shop. It should be related to extraordinary items, suitable for asking about extraordinary items such as sea monster snails.

Hearing Leo's request, the shop owner was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, and said: "Although the small shop has obtained the franchise of the Spirit Race and can deal in special products, the small shop is only the lowest-level business license. It is a supernatural item, which is far beyond the qualifications of a small shop." He paused again and said, "But even those high-end shops probably don't have sea monster shells for sale now. During the Long Spirit Festival, all Sea monster snails are used by the Eldar to hold ceremonies, and it is impossible for sea monster snails to appear on the market."

Hearing this news, Leo frowned, turned around and left without intending to ask any more questions.

"Wait." The shop owner suddenly stopped Leo and said, "But I know there is a place where you can still get sea monster shells, but those are only semi-finished products, and it is not sure whether they can summon sea monsters, so you need to Take a risk."

After thinking about it for a while, Leo asked the shop owner to tell him the location of that place, and he paid a small fee for the news.

This place is not in Lingdu, but Shenghaiwan Port, which is not far from Lingdu. It is considered a part of Lingdu. It is jointly managed by the ethnic group, and it is also the only seaport on this land.

From the owner of the shop, I know that every night, there will be some small vendors who specialize in selling all kinds of supernatural items in the wharf warehouse of St. Those who are interested can go for a stroll.

In Leo's view, this is like a black market, but it is not as large as the black market. The reason why such vendors can stay in Sanhai Bay Port for a long time is that they should be protected by a protective umbrella. The Eldar clan cannot get rid of the relationship, because according to some information disclosed by the shop owner, there are often some special items that only the Eldar can make and own in that market. Although most of the items sold are defective products, there are still people who are willing to Buy at a high price.

For example, the sea monster snail that Leo is looking for this time is an extraordinary item exclusive to the Spirit Race. Only the Spirit Race knows how to breed and make the sea monster snail. This is basically invisible in the market. Even if there is a sea monster snail, It will only circulate among the island lords who hold wealth and power, and will never appear among the people.

It is precisely because of this that even if there are defective sea monster snails in the dock market, there will be various restrictions on use, and the effect of use may not be very good, but there will still be people flocking to them and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them. .

It was precisely because of this conversation with the shop owner that Leo felt that Sean Donald had concealed some family inheritance secrets, because from what the shop owner said, he could tell that things like sea monster conchs were very important. Precious things cannot be used by ordinary people even if they are used. Not only do they need to have a special blood, but they must also master special secret methods to use them.

When Leo left the shop, he casually asked, is there anyone who can summon a dozen sea monsters with one sea monster conch.

The shop owner looked at him in surprise, and only told him that only the royal family of the spirit clan could summon more than a dozen sea monster shells after they had survived the ritual test and received the blessing of the sea god. In addition, the royal family must master extremely powerful power, otherwise, even if it is summoned, it cannot be controlled.

It can be seen from this that the identity of the founder of the Donald family is obviously unusual.

Although it has been discovered that Sean has concealed a lot of things, after Leo returned to the recruiting team's station, he did not ask Sean about the hidden family secrets, but only told him that sea monsters can be obtained on the pier of Sanhai Bay Port screw.

It's just that after listening to Leo's introduction, he vetoed this method, but the reason for his veto was not because of money, but because the sea monster snail was a defective product.

"It seems that you have come prepared? You should have brought a lot of valuable things with you, right?" Leo said half-jokingly.

After hearing this, Sean's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Leo didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the room to find the person in charge of recruitment and asked about their placement and follow-up work.

The staff member originally didn't want to say anything to Leo, but when Leo used some small means of mind control to induce his thinking, he chatted with Leo as if chatting with an old friend for many years , Confidentially what Leo wanted to know.

It turned out that they did encounter some troubles. These troubles not only affected whether they could enter the spiritual city, but also affected the recruitment of the Holy Church of the Gods. Leo has something to do with it. This relationship is the big stone that was stained with the blood of the corpse collector brought back by Archbishop Chris who personally went to the Mountain of Despair.

Because Chris didn't cover her whereabouts, and didn't control her subordinates' tongues, when Chris brought her troops back to her exclusive sanctuary in Lingdu, there were rumors about a magical item she brought back from the Mountain of Despair. Then the spirit spread inside and outside.

Compared with the low-level ordinary people, the rumors they get are all fragmented, and they are only vague about the whole thing, but some other people who have access to the top power have a very good understanding of the whole thing. What Si brought back from the Mountain of Despair must be related to the terrifying existence that appeared in the Sky Sea not long ago.

Although that terrifying existence was wiped out by Chrissy with the Sea God Trident, everyone who knew the gods knew very well that the other party should not have died, so they also wanted to know more about that terrifying existence, so that if something happened Surprisingly, they were able to respond in time.

Therefore, when they knew that Chris had brought back the blood remains left by that terrifying existence, they immediately wanted to get a copy from Chris, and no matter how bad it was, they had to find a way to cooperate with Chris to jointly study this blood.

But the result was that all requests were rejected by Chris. Chris had no idea of ​​selling blood or cooperating with other people at all. She didn't even find an excuse, and directly asked her subordinates to send everyone away. Yes, including people from the Sea God Church.

This matter naturally provoked public outrage, but because of the identity of the divine-born Archbishop Chris and the ability to use the Sea God's artifact, those people did not dare to directly do anything to the divine-born church even though they felt humiliated and angry. .

Although they can't do anything directly to the Holy Church of the Gods, it is not difficult to make things difficult for the Holy Church of the Gods. Therefore, the recruitment of the Holy Church of the Gods has become one of the items that are being made difficult, and there are very good reasons for making things difficult, that is, the Long Soul Day During this period, in order to ensure the progress of the ceremony and the safety of the Spirit Race, the Spirit Race temporarily prohibited any outsiders from entering the Spirit City, and the recruitment of the God's Temple was naturally included.

Although the Divine Church has sent people to negotiate, it is estimated that the result will not change much. The staff member said that they are already preparing to temporarily arrange them on a dock site under construction in Sanhai Bay Port. Arrangements will be made after the matter has passed They go to Lingdu.

"Why don't you just screen the recruiters here?" Leo asked casually after listening to the staff explain the current situation.

The staff immediately retorted: "Of course not, we have a lot of recruits for sailors, and we recruit people from the Holy Church of the Gods. Although they are not priests, their status is not much worse than that of ordinary priests. How can they be casually recruited?" Screening like this, of course, needs to go through some rituals before it can appear formal."

Leo smiled casually, didn't say anything, and then asked a time for them to go to the pier, then turned and returned to the room where he lived.

"Mr. Leo, have you found any news?" Seeing Leo walk in, Sean immediately asked.

"Yeah!" Leo nodded and said, "It seems that we are destined to go to Sanhai Bay Port."

As he spoke, he told Sean the news he had just found out.

Hearing this, Xiao En couldn't help but frown tightly, with obvious frustration on his face.

When he planned to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, he never thought that what he encountered would be so rough.

Originally, according to his idea, he should have appeared at Santa Truc Mountain, and then he would accept the identity verification of the Sea God Church, and then he would go to the Sea God Temple to worship logically, and then he would make a request for a sea monster conch, After getting the sea monster conch, he can wait for the time to end and return to Velen. If everything goes well, he will become the governor of a sea area in the near future, holding real power, instead of being regarded as a vassal of the royal family like he is now. minister.

But now, everything is messed up. Not only did he not show up at Santa Truc Mountain, but he also didn't leave any imprint of his identity on him. I began to doubt whether this action could achieve my goal.

"Maybe it's good to get a defective product, as long as you can summon sea monsters, it doesn't matter if it's one or several." Sean suddenly thought of Leo's proposal before, and the original perfect plan in his mind began to change. , become compromised like reality.

As his thoughts changed, Sean tried to ask: "Mr. Leo, if we are temporarily arranged to go to the pier, will you go to the secret market?"

Hearing this, Leo nodded, and said, "There should be some supernatural items there. Although they may be defective, they should be useful to me, so I will definitely go." When he opened his mouth, he asked directly, "Have you changed your mind?"

Sean smiled awkwardly, but nodded without saying a word.

"Understood, you can go with me when the time comes." Leo didn't say anything, and made a decision for Sean.

After hearing this, Sean also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to look forward to the trip to the secret market. Although he knew from Leo that the items sold in the secret market were all defective products, he felt that there might be some defective products in those defective products. There will be an intact sea monster conch mixed in, and he might be lucky enough to get it, so he also has some expectations in his heart.

The placement of the recruiters of the divine-born temple like Leo was not discussed with the upper management for too long, and a conclusion was quickly reached. People are placed on the docks in San Bay Harbor, and people will be brought back to Spirit City after the matter is over.

Ever since, Leo and the others were called together again, boarded their respective carts, and began to drive towards the Holy Gulf Port.

The holy bay was not originally called this name, but because the spirit tribe accidentally found a god statue left behind when the sea god temple rose from the water, so the spirit tribe placed the god statue in the holy bay port, and put this The bay changed its name.

Although Sanhai Bay Port is the only port out of this land, it is not a suitable place to build a pier, not only because of the shallow water here, but also because there are a large number of caves eroded by seawater below this area. The cave will form an undercurrent with the ebb and flow of the tide, which will have a great impact on the ships in the port, and even cause events such as ship collisions and ship collisions with docks.

However, even so, the Eldar still decided to build a port here, and they also used all the available land to build a dock sufficient for them. It is precisely because the land suitable for building a dock has been used, so there are no new ones later. The pier appeared, and the ownership of the pier was in the hands of the Spirit Race, Sea Race, and Sea God Church.

Now that the Sea God Church is divided into the Holy Church of the Gods and the Holy Church of the Gods, they naturally need to control their own docks, and the Holy Church of the Gods is the Church of the Sea God itself, so naturally they will not give up the docks they already control, so the Holy Church wants the docks Control, you can only create a new one yourself.
