The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Afterwards, the two days passed very peacefully. Not only the camp where the Savile caravan was stationed was peaceful, but also the inside of Kugang City was extremely peaceful. The night shift workers that often happened before suddenly disappeared, and the incident of being attacked by monsters did not happen again, as if All disasters are over.

Although the residents of Kugang City have not been able to relax completely, they are still walking on the streets with fear, but compared with the previous two days, the overall atmosphere is much better.

In the past two days, there have been two things in Kugang City that have been discussed by the people in the city. One thing is that an abandoned manor in the suburbs was blocked by the military police and the police. According to rumors, the board of directors learned about the monsters through offering rewards. Then they sent a large number of gendarmes to attack the monster's lair and wiped out all the monsters.

Although the people in the city didn't really believe this rumor at first, because everyone in the city saw what the gendarmes and policemen looked like during the time when the monsters were the most violent. Neither the police nor the police are necessarily able to harm those monsters.

But I have to say that there has indeed been no monster attacking humans in the city in the past two days. This seems to prove the rumor in a disguised form, so people's attitude towards this news has become suspicious, and as time goes by, no longer If there is no news of the monster attacking the businessman, more and more people will believe the rumor, and the prestige of the board of directors, the military police, and the police will all increase accordingly.

As for the second news, it is not good news for Kugang City, it can even be said to be extremely bad. The two cities closest to Kugang City have already taken refuge in the rebel army and the government army respectively. The two military forces of the Kingdom of Ruisi are within half a day's distance from Kugang City, and both sides also delivered a letter to the board of directors of Kugang City at the same time a day ago. The main content of the letter is nothing more than asking Kugang City to accept Takeover by government forces or insurgents.

What's interesting is that at this time, the two sides who were obviously in hostile forces actually stopped each other's military operations and rested quietly in the two newly occupied cities, waiting to make a final choice here.

The entire Kugang City, whether it is the high-ranking city board of directors or the most ordinary workers at the bottom, knows that no matter what choice Kugang City makes, there will inevitably be a war waiting for them, because no matter which side he agrees to be taken over, The other party will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely concentrate its largest force to completely destroy Kugang City.

Faced with this situation, the workers at the bottom level had a very heated discussion. Many people were even more worried about the impact of the war and started hoarding food at home. However, the board of directors seemed very calm and just wrote an affectionate but Reply to no avail, and then no further action.

But if someone is careful, they will find that Kugang City has secretly recruited young men for military training in various factories. The physical fitness of these young workers is naturally not a problem. With a little training, it is easy to become a qualified soldier.

In addition, the board of directors of Kugang City also began to secretly conduct large-scale transactions with merchants from all over the suburban market, including food transactions and fur transactions.

For example, the furs that Leo's Savile Caravan was originally going to sell to Daliat were all sold to the board of directors of Kugang City at a high price that was 30% higher than the normal price.

It can be judged from various signs that the board of directors of Kugang City does not seem to be prepared to take refuge in any party.

When Leo heard the relevant news, he also felt that the board of directors of Kugang City had made the most correct decision.

As long as Kugang City demonstrates its strong military power and makes both parties feel that they cannot capture and occupy Kugang City in a short period of time, neither the government army nor the rebel army will act rashly against Kugang City, and they will act in a normal manner. They bought steel from Dry Steel City, because none of them would want to see Utah push a neutral city with an important status and role to the enemy's side because of his own offensive behavior.

Due to the purchase of materials in Dry Steel City, the Savile caravan not only sold all the furs at a good price, but also advanced the trip by several days. They also sold all the furs and bought enough After receiving the goods, they decided to leave Kugang City, because they also felt that the atmosphere here was becoming more and more tense, and they didn't want to be involved in foreign wars.

Gu Sang, the steward of the caravan, also raised enough money to buy the remaining wood carvings in Leo's hands because of the higher than expected selling price. Although he knew that Sans also bought a wood carving from Leo, but after knowing the wood carving After it worked, he didn't care about it. In his eyes, only wood carvings that endow the owner with great power and increase the fighting power of the warrior are worth buying with a lot of money.

After buying the wood carvings, Gu Sang couldn't wait to let the warriors of his tribe test the power of these wood carvings, and the result made him very satisfied. After receiving the power given by the wood carvings, each warrior showed extremely powerful fighting power. Everyone They can easily defeat all the guards in the caravan.

After seeing how powerful the wood carvings are, people from other tribes in the caravan were also very moved, but after knowing the price, they couldn't help but sigh, even if Leo had wood carvings on hand, they couldn't buy them. rise.

However, they also had a schadenfreude mentality towards Gu Sang, because Gu Sang spent all the principal and profits of this business in order to buy these woodcarvings. He has always had enough money to make ends meet, but now that he goes back empty-handed, the chain of funds must be broken. This is a very serious problem for any tribe. Even if Gu Sang helped the tribe buy back a few magical items, he may not be able to escape accountability .

However, in Gu Sang's view, it was totally worth the money spent on these woodcarvings. Not only would he not be blamed, but he would get a lot of rewards for this matter.

After selling the wood carvings, Leo went to the black market to sell a few rune traps that he regarded as defective products. Although he thought they were defective products, for others, these rune traps could be used without special power. The trap will undoubtedly be their life-saving weapon.

Therefore, when Fatty Robert listed these rune traps for sale, those bounty hunters generously offered a higher price than expected.

It has to be said that these bounty hunters are very sensitive. They should all feel that the world has begun to change, and their work is also much more dangerous. The more life-saving means on their bodies, the more chances of survival.

On the day the caravan returned home, Leo and Fat Robert boarded the steam train to Asha County.

Because of the frequent occurrence of steam train accidents, the government army and the rebel army stopped most steam trains that were in danger of accidents. There are fewer accidents. On the contrary, those steam locomotives that are newly forged and use the latest technology will lose control in all likelihood.

The steam train that Leo is riding on now is such an old locomotive that was pulled out of the train museum not long ago. This locomotive not only has a lot less pulling force, it can only pull eleven carriages, the cylinder is also very poor, and there is no facility for filtering smoke and dust. , The mist sprayed out was all black, and after just standing on the platform for a while, a layer of dust fell on his body.

"Damn it! I almost thought I had returned to decades ago." After entering the carriage, the fat man took off his hat, slapped the dust on his body vigorously, cursed repeatedly, and at the same time looked at his clean body with great envy Leo.

Just now, he saw that when the dust approached Leo, it automatically walked away from Leo, as if there was a wall around Leo, and he was extremely envious of this ability.

After putting the salute on the luggage rack of the carriage, Leo frowned watching the fat Robert shaking the dust all over the place, and then directly used his psychic energy to deal with the dust.

Fat Robert only saw the dust on his body, on the ground and in the surrounding air, as if attracted by an invisible force, they quickly gathered in the air, forming a dust ball in the blink of an eye, and then flew out from the automatically opened window go out.

"Uh, thank you." Fat Robert naturally knew who did it, and quickly thanked Leo.

Leo nodded, did not speak, took out a book from the salute, put down the bed in the carriage, turned on the bedside lamp, sat on the bed, and started to read.

Seeing Leo's actions, Fatty Robert felt that the next few days' itinerary might be very boring, and he regretted inviting Leo to go with him.

The train that Leo took was not a freight train, but a pure passenger train. Although the board of directors of Kugang City tried its best to stabilize the mood of the people in the city, many people still had no less worries about the war. The relatives and friends planned to leave Kugang City and go to other places for a period of time before talking.

Since there are not many old locomotives that can be used, the number of trains leaving is also much less, so that it is very difficult to get tickets for this train now. If there is no black market operation by Fat Robert, Leo will have to resort to some extraordinary means Otherwise, as a foreigner, I am afraid it would be very difficult to get a ticket, let alone a ticket for a first-class car with a separate carriage.

With the sound of a siren, most of the passengers had already boarded the train, and the platform staff began to drive away those who were still standing on the platform, so as to prevent people from falling onto the train cabinets because of the mist, while the station maintenance The personnel began to check the train, each pulling a T-hammer, beating the wheels and bearings, and judging the quality of these important parts from the sound.

In the car, the flight attendant began to check each compartment one by one, and after confirming that there was no problem, he stood at the door and went out, waving a small flag.

Afterwards, the train let out a long sound, and moved forward slowly, and soon the speed became faster and faster, and finally reached a nearly uniform speed, driving forward along the track.

The speed of the old locomotive was not very fast. It took more than three hours to reach the next city. This city was now occupied by the rebel army, which caused some trouble when the train stopped.

Because the rebel army needed to rotate a group of soldiers, and the soldiers who were replaced were originally going to leave on the rebel army's own troop train, but the train had an accident and had been returned to the factory for repairs, which made these soldiers have to stay down.

Now the arrival of this train was undoubtedly valued by the officers of the rebel army, and the train was directly requisitioned, and some ordinary passengers were placed in the double-decker open-air carriage in front, and the soldiers were placed in the ordinary carriages. In the upper class compartment.

However, their attitude towards the upper-class carriages was not so rigid. After all, they did not know the identities behind the people who made the upper-class carriages. Passengers in the upper class compartments were not driven away, but only one or two people were arranged in each compartment, and the fares of these people were voluntarily paid.

An officer was arranged in the compartment of Leo and Fatty Robert, a rebel officer with a very Marisian appearance and temperament.

With the opening of the great voyage, the exchanges between the two continents began to increase, and the non-governmental exchanges between the two continents also increased. The gold rush in the Maris Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, and the great plague in the Velen Continent more than two hundred years ago , Coupled with some wars that occurred from time to time, a large number of people from the Velen Continent moved to the Minsk Continent.

Among the three major kingdoms in the Minsk Continent, Daliat lives in the north and is always attacked by the cold current from the north. Cold is the only theme in this kingdom, which makes the people of Velen Continent who are accustomed to warm climates very uncomfortable with the climate there.

As for the Savile Kingdom, no one is willing to live in that desert kingdom. It is not only an environmental issue, but also a custom issue.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Marris became the country of choice for these people from the mainland of Vinlen to immigrate.

The Maris Kingdom is naturally willing to accept these immigrants, because there are frequent conflicts and wars between the big and small lords of the Maris Kingdom, coupled with other reasons, the population of the Maris Kingdom has not been very large.

Although it is one of the three major kingdoms in the Minsk continent, its population is about the same as that of the Hanosian Seven Kingdoms Alliance in the northern part of the Velen continent. Therefore, when a large number of immigrants flooded in, the Maris Kingdom was completely willing to accept it.

It's just that with the increase of the foreign population, the native people of Maris began to decrease rapidly, and now there are almost no pure Maris people in the Marris Kingdom, and most of them are of mixed race.

Obviously, the rebel officer who appeared in front of Leo and Fat Robert was definitely a Marisian, because he had the vertical pupils that a pure Marrisian had.

While Fat Robert paid attention to the appearance of the opponent, Leo paid more attention to the inner nature of the opponent, such as energy fluctuations. Judging from the strength of the energy fluctuations on the opponent, the opponent is obviously a transcendent person, a psychic who has reached the fourth level of extraordinary.
