The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Perhaps because she felt that this noisy market was not a suitable place to talk, the woman named Kajie led Leo and others to a small room that was remodeled not far away, and then motioned them to sit freely, while she took off her clothes. The equipment pretending to be mysterious, holding a bottle of wine and several wine glasses, walked over, poured a glass each, and then copied fat Robert, saying: "Are you here for a meeting this time?"

"En." Robert took a sip of wine, and then asked in a deep voice: "Since those vampires and werewolves have behaved so aggressively, why did the higher-ups arrange the meeting here? Is it safe? Not to mention, if it happens If there is no conflict, we do not have the upper hand."

Katie gave Fat Robert a white look, and said angrily: "Even you don't know the reason, so how could I know? In the organization, my job rank is two levels lower than yours. .”

Robert curled his lips, and asked again: "What happened in Asha County recently? Why did the two tribes suddenly act so strong?"

"What else could it be?" Katie sighed, and said, "The situation here was very bad during the big mutation some time ago. In an emergency, even vampires and werewolves couldn't limit things to the dark world. As a result, many casualties were caused, and among the casualties was the young master of the Foster family. You must know that this is the only high-level vampire who died in an accident in the past hundred years. After cleaning up the entire county, both the out-of-control family members and the non-out-of-control family members were cleaned up again, and the cultists were also driven into the forest. The vampires are doing things with such a big fanfare, and the werewolves will naturally not be timid. They seem to be competing. They sorted out the extraordinary people who stayed in the county and province again. Later, they discovered that the external situation had changed, so they simply gave up hiding behind the scenes to manipulate the situation, and all stood on the bright side."

Fatty Robert frowned, he hadn't decided what question to ask, but Leo suddenly asked, "What kind of external situation made them come from behind the scenes to the front of the stage?"

Hearing Leo's inquiry, Katie took a serious look at Leo, and quickly recognized Leo's identity, stood up quickly, saluted Leo, and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Leo. I hope that the situation outside has not caused you any misunderstanding. If you need anything, any goods we can provide here will be the same as other black markets, and there will be no difference."

Facing Kajie's enthusiastic attitude, Leo just nodded, and then asked the question just now.

Seeing Leo's attitude, Katie knew that Leo must have already traded with Fat Robert, so he glared at Fat Robert next to him, and then replied truthfully: "It's the oracle, the day before yesterday, the King of the Hill The church and the Lady of the Lake Church issued an oracle at the same time, and the two churches began to rebuild the Knights of the Church."

"What? Rebuild the Knights?" It wasn't Leo and Robert who were surprised, but Shelf. He obviously reacted very violently to the news, and the expression on his face was also somewhat complicated. He was both happy and excited. Looks a little worried.

Before the Orthodox Church appeared, every church in the world of Vilen had its own church knights. The number of these knights varied from a dozen to thousands. The Lord of the Sky and other churches with profound and powerful backgrounds have the largest number of members of the Church Knights reaching tens of thousands.

However, with the Reformation and the establishment of the Orthodox Church, each church began to reduce the number of its own knights, and selected the most elite, powerful, and steadfast knights from the knights, allowing them to gain divine grace and become able to use a Two holy knights of the divine arts were allowed to join the Orthodox church, and the armed forces belonging to the church gradually disappeared.

Today, the Church of the King of the Hill and the Church of the Ladies of the Lake have publicly announced the formation of the Knights of the Church. I believe that other small churches belonging to the Orthodox Church will soon follow. The situation will definitely have unforeseen effects.

However, this matter is a good thing for Scherf. As his arbiter, if he returns to the Church of the Hill King, he will definitely be reused. In the end, he may even master a knight order. able to achieve.

But he is also unwilling to give up his current status and rights, because he has now gained a firm foothold in the rebel army, has been recognized by the upper echelon of the rebel army, and has real power, and he can also see that the rebel army will be The ultimate victor, once the rebel army becomes the legal regime of the Maris Kingdom, his rights and status will inevitably be improved, and it is not impossible to become the most core official of the kingdom by then.

One is the power that he has already grasped, and the foreseeable position as a senior official of the Kingdom government in the future, and the other is the dream of many years, the power and status of the church that may be obtained in the future, both of which make him feel hesitant.

However, for Leo, the church's reorganization of the Knights is just a sign that the churches are beginning to intervene in secular affairs, but he is not optimistic about the church's decision in his heart.

If it was more than a hundred years ago, the steam machinery technology in the Vinylon world had not developed to the present level, then the Church Knights might still be the most powerful military force in the Vinylon world.

But now steam technology has developed to the present level, and a steam civilization has been formed, which can produce a large number of steam weapons that ordinary people can use in a short time, and as the world changes a little bit, all steam machines will produce unforeseen Even if the knights of the church are all made up of supernatural beings, they will still suffer a disadvantage in the face of military-style steam weapons. Unless the gods personally take action, the churches will be established as knights. Nor can it be restored to its former glory.

Leo didn't pay too much attention to the matter of the Knights, but asked about another news related to his coming to the Kingdom of Maris, and said: "The black market was originally going to sell a wizard left at the auction in Padu City." The box that came down, now that the black market has handed over the right to hold the auction to the vampires here, will that box still be put up for auction now?"

"This...wait!" Katie hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked into a cabinet, then flipped through it, took out a beautiful manual from it, handed it to Leo, and said, "This manual contains The items here are all items that will be sold at the auction held by the blood race in Moonlight City this time, so you can take a look to see if there is anything you want."

After Leo took the manual, he went through it carefully and quickly. The box he wanted was on the list, but the price was unexpectedly high. The starting price was already more than twice his estimated price. There is still a certain gap in the funds he has prepared, but he is not sure if he will still be able to buy the box if the auction goes down and other people snap up the auction.

What's more, what makes him even more troublesome is that there are still several things on the list that he has also taken a fancy to. If he wins all of them, his funds will definitely not be enough.

In addition, he also found that not only the box he was looking at and a few other things were extremely expensive, but all the items in this list were extremely high, and he could see that all the items in it might contain mysterious power Items, none of the ornaments or valuables that ordinary people value.

"Why are the prices of everything so high?" Leo couldn't help asking in doubt.

"The world is changing, and the price is naturally changing." Katie shrugged, replied, and then immediately said: "If Mr. Leo is not rich, our black market is willing to provide Mr. Leo with a small sum of money." Limited borrowing."

Fatty Robert stared wide-eyed, looked at Cartier, and said, "Don't mess around, your authority doesn't include unlimited loans!"

"Of course, my authority does not include unlimited loans, but Mr. Leo Dodd's authority does have unlimited loans." Katie gave the fat Robert a look, and said: "Yesterday, a new loan was sent from the headquarters. A batch of lists of collaborators with the highest authority, Mr. Leo is among them."

"What do I need to pay?" Leo didn't care much about the black market's adjustment of his authority, nor was he surprised. After all, he had mastered the wizard potion, and the importance of the wizard potion is self-evident in the current situation. . If Leo wasn't a powerful wizard, maybe the black market had kidnapped him and hid him to make wizard potions for the black market.

"It's very simple. In the future, wizard potions and rune traps will be made, and they will only be provided to us on the black market." Katie immediately stated the conditions of the black market, and felt that the words were not accurate, so he added: "To be precise, It’s the black market in Minsk mainland.”

Leo was silent for a moment, and did not answer right away. Katie was also nervously waiting for the answer. After all, if Leo agreed to this condition, then Katie would definitely be able to use this achievement to increase his authority in the black market organization by several levels.

But she was destined to be disappointed, Leo quickly recovered from his contemplation, and said, "I have some wizard potions and rune traps for sale, can you eat them?"

There was a little disappointment on Katie's face, but a happy smile soon appeared. Although she failed to get Leo to agree to the condition, Leo was going to sell a batch of wizard potions and rune traps to her. It's definitely a big payoff for her.

"Of course, of course! I have plenty of funds here." Katie quickly agreed, and looked at Fat Robert provocatively.

Fatty Robert is now looking annoyed. Although Leo also sold a batch of wizard potions and rune traps to him in Dry Steel City, he really doesn't think too much of these things. If he had known that Leo would still He will continue to sell wizard potions and rune traps. I am afraid that he will not care about the danger and carry the operating funds of the black market with him so that he can buy them at any time.

After that, Leo took out nearly two-thirds of his wizard potions and rune traps. Among these wizard potions, there are not only healing potions, but also some wizard potions that can give others special powers within a certain period of time. As for the rune traps, they are also not pure rune traps. Many of them are extremely powerful mechanical traps after Leo's special modification.

All in all, after selling these items, Leo's funds on hand have increased by about two times. Although he may not be able to buy all the things he fancy, at least that box and a few other items may be related to the tower wizard. He should be able to take it down.

After the transaction was completed, Kajie asked the three of them to spend the night here, and tomorrow there will be a rail car from Moonlight City to deliver supplies to Tranquility City, and she can use the black market to get three tickets to Moonlight City. ticket.

When I heard Kajie mention the rail car, not only Leo, but Shelf was also curious about this rail car, because obviously this rail car should be one of the main reasons why Yasha County does not allow steam trains to enter.

"I don't know the specific situation. This rail car was arranged a few days ago." Kajie shook his head and said, "It's different from a steam train. It doesn't seem to burn wood and charcoal, and it doesn't have a water tank. It It seems that the wheels are driven by other methods, and the speed is very fast, but the load seems to be much worse than that of the steam train. Wait until tomorrow, and you will be able to see that rail car."

After confirming that Kajie really didn't know much about these mechanical gadgets, Sherf didn't ask any more questions. He told Leo and Fatty Robert that he had something to do at night, and after meeting them at the station tomorrow, he left the black market alone.

"This guy must have gone to find the stronghold of the rebel army here." Fatty Robert snorted coldly as he watched Sherf disappear.

"Is it the stronghold of the rebel army?" Kajie leaned forward and said, "He may be disappointed, the stronghold of the rebel army in Tranquility City has already been driven out of Yasha County."

Leo questioned: "Is the relationship between the rebel army and Yasha County bad?"

"No, the relationship between the rebel army and Yasha County is very bad." Kajie shook his head and said: "It is because Yasha County has a bad relationship with all forces now, whether it is the rebel army, the government army, or The Orthodox church in the dark world, the church of evil gods, may fall apart at any time, they feel like a wild beast with teeth and claws."

"A beast with teeth and claws?" Leo nodded slightly after hearing Katie's adjective, and murmured to himself, "Maybe it is!"

As a group born with extraordinary power, both werewolves and vampires should be particularly sensitive to changes in the world. They should have already felt the changes in the world, and the only thing they can do in the face of changes is to clean themselves up first. Then they exposed their teeth and sharp claws to show that they are not easy to mess with, just like what they are doing now, but it is not known how effective this kind of intimidation can be and how long it can last.
