The Mysterious World Under Steampunk
Chapter 426: The Black Market in the Graveyard
There is also a garden cemetery in Leo's hometown, but compared with the more open-minded Sorset, the inland countryside is obviously more conservative, and the status level is stricter, and this classification is also reflected in the use of the garden cemetery superior.
Although Leo's family has some assets and has opened a blacksmith shop, their family status is still common people. After their death, they cannot be buried in the garden cemetery. They can only find a suitable place outside the garden cemetery as a family cemetery. The cemetery, and the interior of the garden cemetery will not be open to civilians.
However, the garden cemetery in Dorset Port is completely different. The garden cemetery here is very large, almost the largest public land in Dorset Port. Its area is twice the size of the civilian area and five times the size of the garden area. Outside the wharf area, the garden cemetery is connected to almost all urban areas of Port Dorset, and it is also a public cemetery for everyone in Port Dorset.
Because of its particularity, when the municipal council discusses the public land it sees, even if it cancels the public square under construction in the municipal area and shrinks the park in the garden area for the upper class, it does not consider reducing the use of this land at all. area.
The Garden Cemetery is like a microcosm of the Port of Dorset. The people buried here are also buried in different areas according to their status. The terrain is relatively high, the forest is dense, and the environment is excellent. The purpose of construction here is not to worry about being flooded during typhoons. As for those merchants who are rich but have no status, they are buried near the bottom of the hill, but this is only a temporary burial place for them. Under normal circumstances, these merchants will strive to obtain a higher status and move their cemetery to the hill However, there are also a large number of businessmen who will become poor due to business flaws and have to move the cemetery out.
The area with the largest area in the garden cemetery is the burial area for civilians. Almost all the civilians in Port of Dorset are buried here. Some family burial chambers even buried more than ten generations, and the burial chambers were dug down more than ten floors. deep.
Also because of the unprofessionalism of the early tomb diggers and the fact that most of the building materials were made of wood, after years of flooding during the typhoon period, the wood rotted, making the structure of many underground tombs very fragile. The thing about the collapse of the tomb.
Later, the Port of Sorce City Council decided to use a public fund to strengthen the tombs and reduce collapse accidents, and this matter was handed over to a gravedigger company in the city that specialized in tomb excavation.
It's just that this company is just an ordinary burial company on the surface, but in fact it is an office on the surface of the black market in Port Sorre, so after they won the business of rebuilding the tombs, they set out to connect the tombs in this area , while strengthening the tomb, it also transformed the tomb into a contraband trading area controlled by the black market.
In fact, not long after the black market appeared, the dignitaries in Port of Dorset already knew about it. It was only because the black market itself was powerful enough and they had bought off these dignitaries, so they turned a blind eye to the black market specializing in contraband. Of course The premise is that the existence of the black market will not endanger the security of the city.
The black market divides the market into two parts, one part is only for ordinary people, and the supply is only general contraband, but the other part is dedicated to those existences with extraordinary powers in the underground world, and what they provide is what ordinary people see. Very weird and mysterious items.
What's interesting is that compared to the secrecy of the black market in Miria City, the black market in Port of Set is like an open market. In fact, Sanjes doesn't need to tell him. Leo only needs to spend some time walking around the city to know about the black market. where.
It is precisely because of the semi-public practice of the black market that some young people in the city who like excitement will also come to the cemetery after nightfall, looking for the entrance of the black market, hoping to buy some novel and exciting contraband here, just like Lei The seven or eight expensively dressed young people Ou saw.
After nightfall, Leo came to the entrance of an ordinary-looking tomb in the garden cemetery as Sanjes said, but he was not the first to come here. There were already seven or eight spectators here. Young people with unusual identities stood outside the entrance, and they seemed to be discussing whether to enter the underground tomb.
From their words, it is not difficult for Leo to hear that they are worried about whether they will encounter any danger if they enter the black market like this. Some people proposed to call in the bodyguards at home, but some people objected, because they were secretly hiding from the family. For those who came to the black market, once the bodyguards are found, the family must know about it.
Just when several people were arguing, Leo's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention. Although Leo's clothes were no different from those of the English gentlemen that are common in Sorset, his tall figure and invisible aura exuded from him Still can make people feel that he is different.
All the arguing stopped immediately after Leo's arrival, and the eyes of these men and women fell on Leo's body at the same time.
Leo ignored these gazes. He walked to the entrance and looked at the reliefs around the entrance.
These reliefs look ordinary, just like the cheap reliefs that are common in the surrounding tombs, but in Leo's spiritual vision, these reliefs contain some very faint spiritual runes composed of Gamore language , and these spiritual runes are the first test used by the black market to distinguish ordinary people from extraordinary people.
Ordinary people like Sanjies can see these spiritual runes as long as they have an invitation letter from the black market, and can find out from the spiritual runes in which tomb the special black market will appear this time, but those who do not have an invitation letter can only You can see or feel these spiritual runes with your own ability, and find out the correct opening place of the black market. Otherwise, you can only enter the general market of the black market for ordinary people along this entrance.
Naturally, Renault easily found the real location of the special black market in the spiritual runes, so he just stopped at the entrance for a while, then turned and left the public entrance, and walked deeper into the cemetery.
"Hey! How did he leave?" A suspicious voice sounded in this open space just after Leo left.
Someone made a guess: "He should have come to visit the deceased, but he didn't know where the tomb was, so he was looking for the tomb."
"You don't bring anything with you when you visit the dead?" Among these people, a heroic woman dressed in men's clothes gave her companion a white look, then thought about it, and said, "I heard that there are two black markets, and one is for ordinary people. It is open to people and only sells some ordinary contraband to ordinary people. In addition, there is a more mysterious black market. I heard that some mysterious items that only appear in fairy tales will be sold there, and they can only be found through special methods. The location of that black market, could that person just go to that more mysterious black market?"
"I've also heard of this legend." Someone responded immediately.
The woman suggested, "Should we also go and see?"
The others nodded without thinking about it, looking eager to try.
"This is not good!" Only a woman who looked a bit weak and wore a veil hesitated a little, and said, "It is very dangerous to enter and leave the cemetery at night. If something happens..."
"Do you think there is any danger for us with this guy?" Before the woman finished speaking, a young man next to him pulled out two pistols using special bullets from his waist, and played with them skillfully. It was inserted back into the holster on his waist.
Others also patted the weapons on their waists one after another. It can be seen that they all came prepared, and compared to nothing happening, they hoped to encounter some troubles so that they could have a reason to use these weapons. A rare weapon.
Among these people, only the heroic woman dressed in men's clothing did not carry a gun, but wore two cross rapiers. It could be seen that she was extremely confident in her sword skills.
Seeing her companion like this, the veiled woman also knew that she had nothing to say, so she could only nod in agreement with her companion's proposal.
So, a group of people followed the direction Leo left, found traces of actions on the ground, and chased behind Leo.
Since entering the cemetery, Leo has already opened his spiritual network. The words and decisions of the good young people behind him cannot escape his perception. In his opinion, as long as the other party does not cause trouble for him , It's okay to follow behind.
Before coming to the cemetery, Leo had already memorized the map of the garden cemetery. Although the map could not show the exact location of each cemetery, it systematically divided the cemetery into areas for others to find.
Soon Leo came to the area indicated by the spiritual runes, and also found a second hint at the entrance, which was where the entrance was in the cemetery.
In fact, for Leo, it doesn't matter whether this reminder is needed or not, because when he stood in this area, his spiritual net had already covered the entire cemetery in the area, and the psychic interference device formed psychic interference, It was like a striking signal reminding him of the location of the black market all the time.
However, even without the perception of the spirit net, some other transcendents who also found here are the best guides.
Just as Leo thought, when he came to this cemetery, other people with extraordinary powers had already come here, looking for the entrance to the black market, and there were quite a few of them, as many as twenty, so many The number surprised Leo a little, but what surprised him even more was that his disturbed mental network could still vaguely feel that there were at least hundreds of Transcendents in the underground black market.
"How come there are so many extraordinary people?" Leo couldn't help but wonder, and at the same time, he swept the spiritual net over the fellows who were looking for the entrance to the black market, and checked the physical conditions of these people.
However, the information fed back from the Spirit Network made him feel a little surprised, and also a little worried, because he found that without exception, some organs of these fellow travelers had mutated, and judging from the uncontrollable power of these people It can be seen that these people are all family members who have awakened the blood of their ancestors, and the awakening time is not long, at most it is between one or two years.
There are only two possibilities in Leo's view that there are so many descendants of the family showing signs of blood awakening.
One possibility is that the gods represented by the blood of these family members may be returning, so it is necessary to awaken his family members to pave the way for his return.
The second possibility is that the whole world is changing, and this change is likely to be related to energy, so the mutation of energy will also cause mutations in human beings. The mutations of ordinary people are very small, and they will not even cause any changes, but For those descendants of the family with special bloodlines, the energy change brought about by this mutation may be the key opportunity for their bloodlines to be activated.
No matter which situation occurs, it is not a good thing for Leo, because it means that the world will soon fall into all kinds of weird chaos.
"My current information is all from newspapers. Those contents are too vague. It seems that it is necessary to establish an information network." Leo said to himself, then returned to normal, and headed towards the entrance of the third tomb on the right. Go, here is the correct entrance to the black market.
Leo's actions naturally attracted the attention of several nearby family members who were looking for the location of the black market. Although they obtained skills from blood, their bodies mutated, and they gained some power, but these powers were physical power, and they had no way to see those Spiritual runes can only be found through other methods to find the location of the black market. They were able to find the cemetery in this area without any prompts, which is considered very good, but because the psionic jammers in the black market also interfered with them, they could not go further to find the exact location.
When Leo opened the iron fence of a cemetery and entered the interior of the cemetery, those family members who saw this scene immediately uttered a signal-like cry, and then other people also gathered over, and after asking about the situation, they all followed suit. into the cemetery.
Before all these people had entered the cemetery, those young people who were looking for excitement had already arrived at the cemetery. They happened to see the family members who had not yet entered the underground cemetery, and immediately followed without saying anything. What, followed the crowd into the catacombs.
Leo, who was walking in the front, found the correct route in the labyrinth-like underground chamber like a regular visitor, and entered from the entrance to the underground market opened at the bottom.
This underground market was rebuilt after three underground tombs were opened up. Small rooms were added here to sell relatively valuable items provided by the black market. Although the items are good, there are very few people who are really willing to enter the store because of the price. , the vast majority of people set up street stalls in a large open space in the middle, selling and buying what they need from each other.
Although it is a market, it is very quiet here. Although there are many oil lamps hanging here, the light is still not very strong. People with poor eyesight may not even be able to see what is being bought on the ground.
Although Leo was a new face, his arrival did not attract the attention of those people in the market. They were more willing to pay attention to the items on the ground, hoping to find something useful to them.
