The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The Mine Auction House of the Northern Tribal Alliance is located in the green manor in the northwest of Beberant, next to the city wall of Beberant. This manor is not only the largest building in the city of Beberant, but also the The worst preserved building. When Beberant was rebuilt, except for the barely usable foundation, all the other main buildings were rebuilt.

The reason why the manor was so badly damaged was that when the tribesmen drove off the colonists and re-occupied the city, the angry tribesmen spontaneously destroyed the manor completely, from the walls, the roof, to the foundation of the manor. All the cornerstones of the place were smashed into pieces, as if he couldn't express his hatred without completely destroying this place.

The original owner of the Green Manor was the Kanter family. The founder of this family, Vargos Kanter, was a naval officer of the Kingdom of Sigmar. However, during an operation to suppress pirates, he accidentally fell into the water and was caught by pirates. In order to save his life, he had to join the ranks of pirates and became a pirate wandering the coastline of the Mozambique continent.

In the beginning, Vargas Kanter was only forced to rob along with the pirates, but as he saw the gains after robbing merchant ships again and again, his mentality gradually changed, and finally he designed an assassination attempt in an encounter He killed the captain and first mate at the time, and then solved the navigator in the battle, and finally forced the people on the pirate ship to admit his identity as the captain.

Because after losing the captain, first mate and navigator, the only person on the ship who has the ability to navigate is Vargus Kanter. The robbery continued at sea, and I'm afraid it would be very difficult even to return to the shore.

In the next few years, Vargus led the pirates on this ship to rob at sea, and by virtue of his previous status as a naval officer of the Kingdom of Sigmar, he was familiar with all the commercial routes and ships of the Kingdom of Sigmar, and gained a lot from almost every robbery. Huge, a fleet was built in a short period of time. Even if he was not the most powerful pirate at the time, he was definitely the richest pirate.

It was precisely because he was too rich that other pirates regarded him as a thorn in their side, and secretly betrayed his whereabouts to the naval fleet of the Kingdom of Sigmar, which eventually caused his pirate fleet to be encircled and suppressed.

It's just that his luck played a role again. Just when he was about to be wiped out, a sea storm suddenly appeared and swept the entire sea area. He finally led the remaining men to escape from the encirclement and suppression circle.

Although he escaped from the siege, Vargas didn't feel lucky because he knew very well that he would fall into the trap this time because other pirates betrayed him, and now that he was in trouble, the other pirates would not let go of this trap. Lost his chance, so after escaping from the siege, he did not go to the pirate islands, but directly found a bay and landed on the mainland of Mosang, and then led his men and accumulated wealth all the way south into the wilderness , came to beiberland at that time to settle down, and became a slave trader.

In the beginning, Vargus was just an ordinary slave trader, who bought slaves from others and sold them, but later he might feel that the slave trader's life was too monotonous, so while maintaining the slave trade, he also sold slaves to slaves. Some of his strong slaves were picked out, and then he built a slave arena in his manor, and gradually grew, making it one of the characteristics of Beberant, and many people even risked being killed on the road. In order to avoid the danger of the wilderness tribe's attack, he also went to Beberante to watch a life-and-death slave fight.

Afterwards, the Kanter family took the operation of the slave arena as their main business. The slave arenas that appeared throughout the wasteland colonial period were almost all operated by their family. The champions who won the arena would be sent to Beibei Rand's Green Manor, a general competition, and the final winner will be free, and can also get a large bonus.

At that time, the tribes of the Mosang Wasteland hated these arenas very much, because the famous warriors of countless tribes died in the arenas in the crowd. This way of death completely violated the natural rules of shamanism, and there was no honor at all. to speak of.

Those gladiator champions who won the final victory will be cast aside by their tribes even if they are free in the end. In the end, without exception, they all chose to walk into the depths of the wilderness and never came out again.

It was precisely because of the tribe's hatred for the arena that when Beberant was captured by the tribesmen, the first thing the people who invaded the city did was not to occupy important political and military places such as the governor's mansion and barracks, but He ran to Lvyin Manor and led people to smash it into ruins.

However, according to the original intention of these people, they hoped to replace the manor with the Kantor family and become the object of their anger. However, the Kantor family was very clever, and when they found something was wrong, they gave up everything that was inconvenient to carry. items, escaped from Beberant, escaped from the wilderness, took a boat to the Minsk continent and hid, so far no one can be sure whether anyone in their family is still alive.

When the Lvyin Manor was rebuilt, the foundation needed to be reburied, so the foundation stone that had been smashed was dug out, but what people did not expect was that after digging the cornerstone where the arena was located, a huge secret room was discovered , and this secret room is full of corpses. Judging from some items left on the corpses, these corpses should be slaves at that time. A rough calculation shows that there are more than a thousand corpses.

It would be fine if only the bones were found. After all, Beberant is a city of slaves, and there are countless bones buried in the land here. Let alone a special place like the Green Manor, even if it is an ordinary slave owner's manor. There are also hundreds of bones.

At that time, the reason that really caught the attention of the tribe and disturbed the holy mountain in the north was that the bones were not piled up randomly, but placed deliberately according to some rules, as if some evil ritual was being performed.

Later, the holy mountain shaman who took over here learned from some surviving human skin notes that the Kantor family were all cultists, and the object of their belief was the famous mother of all hives.

For a long time, they have been using slave duels to cover up their evil rituals of human sacrifice, and relying on the gift of the evil god, the Kantor family's slave business and gladiatorial business have always been smooth, and even a competitor No.

However, like the true gods, the evil gods also began to stay away from this world, and the colonial era of the whole world came to an end at this time. Obtain the revelation of the mother of all hives through this ceremony, and open up a new path for the Kantor family.

As a result, it is not known whether the Kanter family received the revelation of the mother of all hives, but the holy mountain shaman who dealt with this matter at that time confirmed after repeated inspections that there were no longer any evil forces here, and the northern tribal alliance was relieved to leave this place. Rebuilt and used as one of their offices.

I don't know if it's because of the bad taste of the northern tribal alliance, or because of other reasons, the original arena has now been converted into a trading house, and the mine auction is even set up in the underground bone chamber, and it's even more lethal. What makes people feel speechless is that the bones have not been cleaned up, but are neatly placed in this huge underground secret room, and everyone who comes here can clearly see every victim through the torches on the wall bones.

As representatives of the Dodd Group, Sylvia and Leo brought them directly to the auction house after arriving at the Greenery Manor. At this time, some miscellaneous auctions were going on as a warm-up for the mine auction.

Because of the re-expansion, the original secret room has become an underground hall. The bones found here were inlaid on the walls as decorations, and the stone pillars supporting the dome were also covered with a layer of bones with plaster. Although there are torches all around, so that every corner of the entire hall is under the light, anyone who enters here will feel an inexplicable chill, feeling that this place is not like an auction house, but more like some kind of auction house. The bone palace of the evil gods.

Most of the people who can be invited are regular visitors. They are used to the horrifying sight before them, and they don’t behave too abnormally. However, there are also some newcomers who try their best to look normal, but they look at The eyes of the skeletons around them have clearly revealed the panic in their hearts.

The arrival of Sylvia and Leo did not attract too many people's attention. Most people were paying attention to the items in the auction, but a few people looked at them in surprise, obviously recognizing them coming.

"Obviously a victim of slavery, but now he maintains the slave trade in this city." After sitting down, Sylvia looked at the contents of the auction now, with a look of disdain on her face, and said: "So For many years, the wilderness tribes have been regarded as barbaric and stupid by the world, probably not only because of other people, but also because of their own problems."

The reason why Sylvia said this is because the items currently being auctioned at the auction are two tribal women. From the characteristics of the clothes on these two women, it can be seen that they should come from a tribe called Likali. tribe.

The word Likali has the meaning of beauty and beauty in the languages ​​of some northern regions. As its name shows, both men and women of the Likali tribe are very handsome. People who see the Likali tribe also think they are very beautiful.

It is precisely because of their beauty that the Likali tribe has been the target of hunting by other tribes a long time ago, and it was even more serious during the colonial period, which almost made the Likali tribe extinct. Now the fate of the Likali tribe remains the same. Nothing has changed, they are still hunted.

When Sylvia said these words, she didn't hide anything at all, and she didn't lower her voice, and the language she used was the Holy Mountain language that almost everyone present could understand, except for a few people present. , the others are all dignitaries of the Northern Tribal Alliance. They all turned their heads and glared at Sylvia when they heard these words. Only those who recognized Sylvia's identity before just showed dissatisfaction, but But he didn't show too much emotion.

Seeing the angry gazes cast by the people around her, Sylvia showed an undisguised expression of contempt, and looked at them, while Leo just smiled and didn't say anything.

At this time, several tribal dignitaries stood up from their positions, as if they wanted to come over to do something, but just after they took a few steps, they were immediately stopped by the tribal warriors maintaining order at the auction site, and then Seeing someone leaning over and whispering something to those people, the expressions on the faces of those people also changed according to what they heard, and the eyes that looked at Sylvia again no longer seemed full of confidence, even There was a little more fear on his face, and then he went back to his seat again.

As one of the top supernatural beings in the underground world, Sylvia's reputation is not only based on the strength of the Dodd Group, but also through battles.

In the eyes of outsiders, Sylvia's move to the New Porto area of ​​the Mozambique mainland and the establishment and development of the Dodd Group have always been smooth, as if they have not encountered any obstacles, but in fact the battle from the underground world has never stopped However, more than 300 extraordinary people and other enemies died directly at the hands of Sylvia, many of whom were even senior priests of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

As for, in order to stabilize the business of the Dodd Group in the wasteland, Sylvia directly sent the newly established First Witch Group into the wasteland to secretly solve those tribes that caused trouble for the Dodd Group's business. With the intervention of the great shaman of the holy mountain, Sylvia retrieved the first witch group, but the panic caused by the first witch group is still spreading in the wilderness tribe.

Although most of the people at the auction site have never confronted Sylvia head-on, the prestige of the First Witch Squad still remains in the memory of some people, and as the founder of the First Witch Squad As the chief witch, Sylvia naturally became the object of everyone's fear.

For a while, the originally lively auction site became much quieter. Everyone stopped talking to each other, and just opened their mouths when quoting.

This scene was seen by the high-level officials of the northern tribal alliance who were in charge of the auction. Some couldn't laugh or cry, and some regretted inviting the Dodd Group to participate in this auction. He originally only wanted to invite the head of the Dodd Group in Beberant , but he did not expect that the person who came was Sylvia. He only hoped that there would be no problems at the mine auction later.

Time passed quickly, and as the last warm-up lot was bought, the highlight of this auction, the mines that sold the mining rights, began to come into everyone's eyes.
