The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Say it! What do you want me to do for you?" Leo was led directly to the roof of a three-storey apartment. Kit, the owner of the blacksmith shop, sat on a chair, enjoying the rare sunshine in Hongtu City. Playing with the badge that Leo took out before, he asked very directly without looking at Leo.

This is one of the five dark lords who rule Hongtu City. From the appearance point of view, there is nothing special about it. It is similar to those ordinary blacksmiths downstairs. The only difference may be that when he speaks, he will naturally have a hint of deterrence. This kind of deterrence is enough to have a mental impact on ordinary people.

Leo was not polite either, and directly spoke out his request, saying: "I want to go to Lake Narnia in Green Emerald, but now the entire Green Emerald has been blocked, it will be troublesome to break in, and it will It affects some of my plans, so I need to enter the green emerald through the normal way."

Hearing Leo's request, Kit was silent for a while, and said: "This is not a simple matter. A few days ago, Earl West Green Emerald was assassinated by an unknown assassin. He left a will. Those who have the right to inherit Only by avenging him can one become the official Earl of West Green Emerald. First, the successors have identified that the person who sent the assassin was Javier, the governor of the outpost castle of Lolo Hill, and now they are all preparing to attack the outpost castle. The general attack was to take Javier's head and inherit the title of earl. Therefore, in order to prevent the spies of the Rolothir people from spying on the military situation, the entire West Green Emerald region is now sealed off. It is impossible to open it to the outside world until the end of this war. "

"What about the other areas of Green Emerald?" Leo frowned and asked.

"Other areas? Don't you want to go to Lake Narnia?" Kit asked a little puzzled: "Lake Narnia has been merged into West Green Emerald half a year ago. If you enter Green Emerald from other areas , still have to go to the territory controlled by the West Green Jade." He paused again, and continued: "However, compared to the difficulty of entering the West Green Jade from here, entering the West Green Jade from the interior of the Green Jade in other areas Green Emerald will be much simpler, as long as it is not close to the front line, it should not be a big problem."

Leo nodded and said, "Yes, although it takes a long detour, it is acceptable."

"In this case, what do you plan to exchange?" Kit looked at Leo and asked.

Leo frowned, and said, "When he handed me the badge, he didn't tell me, what price do I need to pay for my help?"

Kit narrowed his eyes and said: "Yes, according to the normal situation, there is no need to pay any price, but now it is an abnormal situation. If the person comes in person, I will not say anything, just follow orders. Yes, but you? You are not qualified to let me do things for you for free. "

Leo looked at the ordinary-looking blacksmith in front of him. Although the other party hid it well, Leo could still see the strong ambition in his eyes.

Also, compared to a spy who is used as a pawn and can be replaced at any time, as the ruler of one of the five dark lords of Hongtu City, he is definitely not willing to continue to obey orders honestly, maybe Barbarisa The deterrence brought to him by the past made him dare not immediately show a sense of resistance, but facing an outsider like Leo, he could test it a little bit and test the bottom line of his former master.

Seeing Kit like this, Leo couldn't help cursing inwardly. There is no doubt that when Barbarisa offered to let Leo come to find the dark lord of the Red Earth City, he already knew that this once obedient subordinate already had He suggested that he come here with other thoughts, although he didn't have any intentions, but I'm afraid he also had a little idea of ​​using him as a pathfinder.

Regarding the fact that he was involved in the open and secret fight between Barbarisa and his men, Leo really wanted to laugh. He had no intention of doing things according to other people's ideas, so while Kit was waiting for him to respond, He also gave the most direct answer.

I saw that he took a step forward, stretched out his fingers and pressed on the opponent's forehead, and a spiritual force with special psionic skills was passed over, directly engraving a brand in the opponent's consciousness.

Leo's movements are fast, but not so fast that ordinary people can't see them. In other higher apartments around the roof, there are a large number of Kit's men with weapons who are responsible for secretly protecting their leader. These people clearly saw Leo's movements, but none of them pulled the trigger on the crossbow arrow aimed at Leo, because when Leo came to the top of the building to meet Kit, these people had already been sensed by Leo's mental network Arrived, and pulled into the psychic seal he temporarily arranged, in their eyes, Leo did not attack their leader, but had a good chat with their leader.

When Leo's finger was removed from Kit's forehead, Kit did not show anger or other emotions, but remained calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

Kit stood up from the chair, and introduced to Leo: "In three days, a smuggling caravan under my command will go to a castle on the border of the Green Emerald and conduct a arms deal with the defenders there. A member of the caravan triggers it together. On the way, you will pass through Dashu Town of West Green Emerald. At that time, you only need to leave the caravan in Dashu Town. I will ask the people in Dashu Town to help you apply for a temporary identity. As long as you're not near the western border, you shouldn't be checked."

"Okay, this matter will trouble you." Leo nodded and said.

"No trouble, this is what I should do." Kit responded very sincerely.

Afterwards, Kit ordered his subordinates to take Leo to a hotel controlled by him to rest, and also asked his subordinates to send a sensible guide to follow Leo. If Leo wanted to visit Red Earth City, let the guide lead the tour In order to prevent some uninformed guys from Red Earth City from disturbing Leo's interest in visiting.

Leo did not reject Kit's kindness. The imprint he had just imprinted on Kit's spiritual consciousness would maximize Kit's loyalty to Barbarisa. To a certain extent, Kit at this moment This is the moment when he is most loyal to Barbarisa, unless Barbarisa makes him commit suicide for no reason, triggers his instinctive resistance, and counteracts the effect of the spiritual imprint, otherwise, his loyalty to Barbarisa will not be due to time. or any other change.

Under the guidance of Kit's subordinates, Leo came to a hotel two streets away from the blacksmith's shop. Outsiders with a firm foothold, and from the temperament of these outsiders, it is not difficult to see that most of them are desperadoes.

Although there are rules in the hotel that do not allow fighting or killing with weapons, these outsiders dare not put their lives on the grounds that others will abide by the rules, so they are all fully armed, and even if they are sitting, they will look around vigilantly. There is no meaning to relax.

When the manager of the hotel saw that the person who led Leo in was Kit's right-hand man, he immediately understood Leo's special status, so he didn't ask any more questions, and directly led Leo to the garden behind the hotel, and took him to the garden. Housed in a garden villa.

Although the actions of the hotel manager were very careful and natural, they still attracted the attention of some people. However, these people were not outsiders temporarily living in the hotel, but members of the various Red Earth City forces entrenched in the hotel. They originally planned to recruit new recruits from outsiders, but now they saw some unusual things. Many people thought that this matter might be of some value, so they sent someone to inform their superiors immediately.

On the bright side, the Blacksmith Shop is not the most powerful force in Hongtu City, nor is it the one with the deepest background. According to the strength of the power, the Blacksmith Shop can barely enter the first echelon of forces.

But anyone who knows Hongtu City is very clear that even if the blacksmith shop is not that powerful, it is definitely not easy to mess with. The people and forces who tried to overthrow this law in the past have now become famous for the blacksmith shop. Therefore, even though the blacksmith shop showed an attitude of not interfering in the affairs of Hongtu City, all forces in Hongtu City still will not relax their attention to the blacksmith shop, even the hotel that is only affiliated with the name of the blacksmith shop. the focus of their surveillance.

Leo will attract the attention of these people, in addition to the hospitality of the hotel manager, it is more because the person who sent Leo over is one of Kit's most trusted subordinates, and the power of this person is no worse than some middle-level forces How much, in Hongtu City, he is also a big man who can control the situation, but such a big man personally sends an outsider to the hotel, and his words and deeds are quite respectful, which makes the people who witnessed all this have a strong feeling Curiosity, curious about what Leo's identity is.

Naturally, it is impossible to hide the eyes of these people from Leo, and he doesn't care about it, because with Barbarisa's ability, he believes that the traces of his past can be easily erased, so that people in Hongtu City can't find him identity of.

But then again, even if his identity was found out, it wouldn't be a big deal to Leo, let alone affect his next itinerary.

Originally, Leo planned to stay in the hotel for a few days, and leave after Kit's caravan was ready, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles in a place like Hongtu City where dragons and snakes mixed together.

But many things did not go as he expected. On the second day after he stayed in the hotel, he received the news that Kit had been assassinated and died.

The moment Leo heard the news, the thought that popped up in his mind was that Barbarisa thought that Kit had betrayed him, so he did it without hesitation, but other news came later, let Leo know Misunderstood, and the matter is not as simple as he thought, because the person who was assassinated was not only Kit, but also more than a dozen leaders of the first echelon forces in Hongtu City. The forces have become leaderless.

However, Hongtu City did not fall into chaos, but became extremely quiet, and no dark lord even stepped forward to issue a martial law order. All forces in the city spontaneously raised martial law after nightfall, and those who had just arrived in Hongtu City Outsiders have also been restricted in their movements, and even some famous desperadoes have been warned.

It's not that the small and medium powers in Hongtu City have no ambitions and don't want to replace the big powers above them, but because at this moment those big powers are already red-eyed because of the assassination of their leaders, and they have united tacitly. At this time, the people and forces who came forward to make troubles will receive a thunderous blow, and they will never die.

Not to mention other big forces, after the blacksmith shop experienced a little chaos after Kit's assassination, Kit's leaders soon united to stabilize the situation in the blacksmith shop, and they were very smart not to fight for power at this time , Fight out a leader, but temporarily give up the position of leader, choose the way of joint power, and decide various affairs in the blacksmith shop through discussion.

Among the urgent matters discussed, finding the murderer is naturally the most important task, but this time the assassination against the leaders of all the major forces in Hongtu City was a perfect assassination, and the assassination process was silent, even if they were sleeping at the time. The people around the assassinated person did not notice any abnormalities, and naturally there were no traces, so it was almost impossible to find out who the assassin was.

Although everyone knows that it is impossible to find the murderer, the investigation still needs to be pretended, and Leo, an outsider who has met Kit, is naturally the focus of the investigation, after all, he was personally interviewed by Kit the last outsider.

The people sent by the blacksmith shop came to the hotel, found Leo, asked about related matters, and after the inquiry was over, they asked again: "Can you tell me again, the purpose of your Excellency coming to see our leader? "

Leo did not appear to be offended, but calmly repeated his previous answer, saying: "I need him to arrange an identity that can pass unimpeded in the West Green Emerald area, and he also agreed to arrange for me. , Let me follow a caravan heading to the Mid-Green Emerald area a few days later, and when I arrive at Dashu Town in the West Green Emerald, contact your supervisor there, and let the supervisor there solve the identity problem for me."

"Can you tell me, who introduced you?" The man immediately asked a question that he hadn't asked before.

"You are sure you want to know," Leo looked at the other party, and said, "If you don't have enough identity, it would be better to know less about some things, otherwise, you will lose your life for nothing."

The man was silent for a while, and said, "But how do I know what your Excellency said is true?"

"I think Kit should have arranged my affairs immediately after I left, and these records have been left after thinking about it, you just need to check those records." Leo reminded the other party, and then he was very serious He warned: "Although Kit's death will affect some of your affairs, what I need to remind you is that no matter what the reason is, you'd better not delay my affairs, especially the things that have been promised, understand?"

The man immediately lowered his head and responded: "Understood, I will notify you when the caravan is arranged."
