Seeing Sanz is holding on to the woodcarving and experiencing the power of woodcarving, Leo was also surprised by Sanz's choice. He originally thought that Sanz would definitely choose the kind of woodcarving that could give powerful power, but he chose Among all the wood carvings, the weakest, but also the most special one is the wood carving mist rat.
Fog Mouse is the only beast in these wood carvings made by Leo that is not in contact with fierce beasts. It is the most common beast on the Minsk continent. This beast does not have many special places. The only thing worth remembering is this The beast is the least likely to die unexpectedly.
When the medical school edited the biological atlas, he carefully observed and studied this beast. At that time, the researchers found that the squirrels had a strong sense of danger. As long as the slightly malicious sight fell on them, they would immediately Sensed, and instantly selected the most correct way to escape.
The researchers used to create an extremely complex maze, then created a safe house at the only exit of the maze, followed by placing the squirrel in the maze, and a wild cat next to it.
Afterwards, an amazing scene happened. The squirrel immediately sensed the maliciousness of the wild cat, and walked through the maze at a very fast speed, and finally reached the safe house at the end. There was no wrong way in the middle, as if it knew that it had reached a safe place. How should the correct route go.
Leo is naturally impossible to completely imitate the ability of the Mist Mouse through the Rune Magic Array, but the Rune Magic Array in the wood carving can give the holder a very strong sense of crisis. Absolutely not much.
When Leo introduced the functions of these wood carvings to Sans separately, Sans chose the wood carving of the foggy mouse in the first time, which shows that he must be avoiding some dangerous things, and hopes to use the power of the wood carving to let him Before the danger comes, sense it in advance.
Regarding what kind of dangers Sans will face in the future, Leo did not intend to investigate, nor did he intend to help Sans solve the problem. In his view, it is already the most appropriate help to sell a wooden carving to Sans.
Leo left the camp and went directly to a steam railcar in the form of a city.
This steam rail car is almost the same as the steam rail car that appeared in Miria in that year, except that in order to increase the load, the steam locomotive here has been enlarged, and there are two more cars, so it is ejected from the train. There was also a lot of dense fog and dust.
However, the steam and dust that caused countless accidents in Mieliya City and everyone hated it became a trivial thing in Dry Steel City, because the smoke from the chimney in the city is the real big trouble. There is this big trouble Entangled in the city, the little trouble is naturally less conspicuous.
Most of the rich in the city live in the suburbs, and almost all the people living in the city are workers in steel mills.
Although the workers’ uprising in the Kingdom of Marais is now making a lot of noise, it has not affected Kugang City, because in terms of treatment, the workers in Kugang City far exceed those in other parts of the Kingdom of Marais, even more It is better to be a first-class person in charge of factories in other places. The only flaw is environmental issues.
The reason why it is so different is mainly because the founders of the board of directors of Dry Steel City had a very wise vision. At the beginning, the provisions related to the treatment of workers were included in the basic rules of the board of dry steel city. Subsequent board members also followed these rules.
These codes include giving workers basic medical rights, education and other basic rights, providing basic housing, and also stipulating the annual salary increase and pension policies, etc. It can be said that when the board of directors of the dry steel city announced these codes, Marais The whole kingdom thought that the people of Dry Steel City were fools, and some even thought that this was a trap designated by King Saran for the purpose of ruining Dry Steel City, because King Saran also participated in the formulation of the code.
However, the situation afterwards shows that these rules are definitely more beneficial to the factory owners in Kugang City, and the loyalty of the workers is also incomparable in other places. It has even happened more than once when the factory operation has been in difficulty. The workers used the money to help the factory get through the hard times.
Of course, there have been some new factory owners who are reluctant to abide by this set of rules and prefer to implement the harsh set of squeezing methods from outside. These factory owners usually either die or are quickly run by the factories controlled by the board of directors. Bankruptcy, so the board of directors has been firmly in control of the situation of dry steel city.
The Maris workers’ riots progressed to the workers’ uprising. Although some local workers wanted to take advantage of this momentum to obtain better workers’ treatment from the board of directors, but the trend had not risen, they were immediately taken by the internal factory unions. Suppressed, the person who caused the incident was also missing.
When the outside world is in turmoil, the dry steel city is still very calm, and the factory owners of the dry steel city are even more happy about the stalemate, because as long as the war continues, the two sides will definitely need to manufacture a lot of weapons. The steel in the Dry Steel City will not worry about sales.
It was also true that as the members of the board of directors discussed at the time, steel orders from the Royal Government Army and the Workers’ Uprising were sent to the board’s desk as if it were rain.
The forces on both sides actually have smelting plants, but most of these plants were secretly destroyed by the senders of the two parties. During the war, they were not repaired for a while, and they could only be purchased from outside. The Dry Steel City became the most suitable. Place of purchase.
Therefore, relying on the orders from the warring parties, this period of time can be said to be full of money, and even the workers have paid several bonuses. If it continues, Dry Steel City will become the richest country in the Kingdom of Marais. The city can be said to be just around the corner.
But as the situation in the Kingdom’s civil war began to change, the good days of Dry Steel City seemed to be passing, and there was a tendency to get involved in the civil war, because both hostile parties wanted to control Dry Steel City to obtain a stable supply of steel and cut off each other. The source of steel supply, so both sides dispatched their own elite troops to the northwest region of the kingdom, which caused several cities in the northwest region to be involved in the scourge of war. Steel City is only one day away.
It’s just that the war is not the most serious thing for Kugang City. After all, Kugang City itself has a gendarme that belongs to the board of directors, and it has extremely sophisticated weapons. Any party to the civil war must negotiate to resolve the ownership of Kugang City. Question, anyone who wants to take the Dry Steel City by hard means will find this to be a hard stone.
What really caused headaches for the board of directors of Dry Steel City was the monsters that appeared in the city. The time when those monsters came out less than half a month has caused the order of Dry Steel City to face an extremely serious test, if not for the board of directors for many years. Prestige, so that the workers still retain the strong confidence of the team's board of directors, the workers may have long been unwilling to work, and fled.
The monsters that appeared in the first place were good to deal with. Although the military police had not dealt with these monsters, they still had a lot of weapons to kill those monsters with powerful weapons such as steam engine crossbows and special ammunition cannons.
At that time, they thought that all the monsters had been solved, but they didn’t expect that the monsters killed on the spot were only a part, and some of them were hidden among the citizens. They were usually the same as ordinary people, but after the night, They will become monsters with strange powers attacking people in the city.
Some of these monsters turned into a pool of water on the ground. When someone stepped on it, they would be wrapped in water and eaten instantly. Some even turned into a cloud of dust everywhere. When people entered, they would never again. It is impossible to come out.
These haunted monsters are difficult to be discovered, most of them are only noticed when the victims appear afterwards, but it is no longer possible to find the murderer at this time, and even if well-equipped military police or police encounter It is impossible for these monsters to deal with them, because no matter how strong the crossbow is, it is impossible to kill a fog.
If it were not for the board of directors to hide the news that monsters would be hidden among ordinary people, the entire city might be caught in mutual suspicion and suspicion. Without waiting for the arrival of government forces or rebels, the city may collapse.
To this end, they announced a bounty on the city's bulletin board, recruiting bounty hunters who can solve monsters. In addition, the black market in Dry Steel City also released a similar announcement, such as the bulletin board that Leo is currently watching.
The reason why Leo enters the city of Dry Steel City is mainly for the black market in the city. He does not know the specific location of the black market in Dry Steel City. He does not even know if there is a black market in Dry Steel City, but in his view, Dry Steel City At the current scale, a black market must exist.
As for finding the black market is very simple, he no longer needs human guidance to find the black market as he initially did. He knows that any black market will leave some marks near the city square. Only people with extraordinary powers can see the marks. Through the guidance of these marks, Outsiders can easily find the location of the black market.
The black market in Dry Steel City is a four-story office building. It looks no different from other ordinary office buildings. The first floor is a steel trading company everywhere, and the black market is located above the second floor. On the stairs, there is an extraordinary person. He seems to have some ability to perceive the power of others, some of which is like a spiritual net, so when Leo is going to the second floor, he has not stopped.
All the rooms on the second floor have been demolished, and there is only one empty floor. It should be transformed into a free market like an underground cemetery, but now this free market is not busy, but it is more deserted and more correct. There are only five people looking here, and they are not selling anything, but standing in front of the bulletin board in front of the market and discussing something.
When Leo walked over, the few people also noticed, all stopped talking, and looked at Leo involuntarily, with a little surprise on his face, it seemed that they were outsiders at this time will come to Dry Steel City The black market is a bit unexpected.
While these people were looking at Leo, Leo's spiritual network also swept through these people and got a clear picture of their situation.
None of these people are extraordinary, but their physical qualities are far more than ordinary people. It seems that they should be bounty hunters with some special training.
There are so many bounty hunters in the dark world. Most bounty hunters are inadvertently exposed to things in the dark world. They are curious about the world behind the real world before they try to join them.
It’s just that after they joined in, they found that things were not as good as they thought, and they were full of danger. They wanted to quit, but they couldn’t quit at this time, because no one who knew the truth of the world could return to normal life. .
Although these ordinary people who venture into the dark world can not be compared with the extraordinary in terms of strength, they are not useless. Whether it is a church, a night watchman, or a witch club and other dark world organizations, they will be specially trained. Some ordinary people, as their peripheral manpower, most of these trained people have far more physical strength and combat capabilities than ordinary people. In some cases, they can even threaten the extraordinary to the safety of life.
The bounty hunters who appeared in front of Leo did not have any imprints of other underground forces, so they judged that they should be bounty hunters trained by the black market training camp.
The black market training camp is different from other underground organizations. They do not need to be screened and tested for any identity, ideas, etc. As long as they have enough money, the bounty hunters coming out of the black market have different abilities and qualities, and many rewards have occurred. The gold hunter kills the employer and robs the employer.
These bounty hunters are humans and their abilities are not clear~EbookFREE.me~ but their eyesight is very good, although Leo deliberately converged all the powers in his body, making him look similar to ordinary people, but They could still feel Leo’s difference and potential danger. After Leo approached, they all stopped talking and gave way to Leo to approach the bulletin board.
In front of the bulletin board, Leo can see the information on the purchase of various items, but the biggest information is the bounty information from the board of directors of Dry Steel City. I have to say that the bounty information is very attractive. Even the price above even Leo feels Heartbeat.
"What happened here? Has it always been so deserted?" Leo asked the bounty hunters after turning to the bounty message.
"Of course not. It was overcrowded here a few days ago." Someone immediately answered Leo's question and said: "However, many fools think that they can earn the bounty of the board of directors, and all die in the hands of prey, and the rest Have gone here."
Speaking, this person pointed to two other messages on the bulletin board. I saw that these two messages turned out to be the recruitment information of the government army and the uprising army. The above recruitment requirements are for capable people, as long as they pass the test. Being able to become an officer directly is undoubtedly very good for bounty hunters.
