Chapter 681: Changes in the world

, The fastest update of the latest chapter of the mysterious world under steampunk!
I don’t know if I witnessed the good luck brought by the so-called "miracles". It became very easy to cross the most dangerous peaks of the Quincys Snow Mountain. Even if you walk in the middle of the night, the road is just full of surprises. Not to mention casualties, even the goods were not lost.
After turning over the top of the mountain and officially entering the mountain side of the Kingdom of Marais, the rain and snow kept stopping all the time, and the snow on the ground melted quickly, and the ground will no longer be slippery after a while. , Packed cars have become a lot safer.
More importantly, the road facing the Maris Kingdom's ancient salt railway to the Pisavier Kingdom is more intact, and because the terrain is relatively flat, the road is also a lot better.
The only flaw is that no one cleans the road regularly. There are a lot of weeds growing on the road, blocking the sight of people, and it is impossible to see some pothole traps on the road. On several occasions, the team has encountered these pothole traps and carried a car The cowl and wheels were damaged and had to stop to repair the vehicle.
However, this is a good thing for the caravan. After all, the caravan overcame the Quincy Snow Mountain overnight, and it has been extremely sleepy one by one. If it is not the scene on the top of the mountain that is beyond the imagination, the scene of shock makes everyone's spirit seem to be infused with divine power. They are generally vigorous and prosperous, maybe they have already fallen asleep under the dual pressure of the mental body.
The caravan master also found that everyone was already exhausted to the extreme, and it might be dangerous to continue walking. So after reaching a relatively flat area, he ordered to stop traveling and rest on the spot.
Although there was no formal camping, it ignited a campfire, dispelled the chills of the people, and prepared some hot food to restore the people's strength and spirit.
After the meal, the caravan people each found a warm place to take a nap, and were not awakened until noon. They had hot water, ate some dry food, and continued on the road.
Although the slopes on the west side of the Quincys Snow Mountain are a little flatter, the road is a lot farther, and several peaks need to be detoured halfway. This section of the ancient salt railway is four or five times longer than the ancient salt railway on the east slope.
The caravan that continued to rush at noon didn't arrive until late at night in a barrel spot in the middle of this ancient salt railway.
The mountains on the east and west sides of the Quincys Snow Mountain are like two extremes. The mountains on the east side of the Savile Kingdom do not know whether they are affected by the desert. The vegetation on the slopes is very rare, most of them are some Seeing the weeds and moss in the seam, a lot of rocks are exposed outside, it looks very desolate, and no one would think that such a place can have any prey.
However, the mountains on the west side of the Marais Kingdom on the west side of the Quincys Snow Mountain are different. Except for the part of the snow mountain peak that is covered with shrubs, moss, weeds and other plants, the rest of the area is very dense and virgin forest. A large number of red broad-leaved trees grow here, and countless wild animals inhabit here, so hunting activities are very popular here.
In the beginning, the barrel town was just a wine barrel merchant. In order to facilitate the felling of trees and the production of wine barrels, a logging farm and manufacturing workshop specially opened here. However, after that, many hunters who hunted on the mountain will use this as a resting place. Some hunters have even built some simple hunter's cabins, and this has become a village over time.
However, as the ancient salt railway was re-opened, the caravans going to and from here would also use this as a foothold, which also made the small village that was originally provided for hunters to rest, and gradually grew into a small town.
The new hunting season is only two months away. It stands to reason that there shouldn't be too many talents in Mu barrel town, but when the caravan came to Mu barrel town, they found that Mu barrel town was overcrowded and their caravan You can’t even find a rest hotel or private house, you can only camp on a meadow outside the town.
After that, the caravan supervisor Gu Sang sent people to buy food in the town, and asked why there were so many people in the town.
The people who went to the town came back quickly, and brought back some not-so-good news, that is, the civil war in the Kingdom of Maris has spread to the Dry Steel City, and many people are unwilling to be involved in the scourge of this civil war. , Choose to throw into the mountains to avoid the scourge of war, and wait for things outside to calm down before returning.
Although the civil war in the Kingdom of Marais has nothing to do with the Saviles, and even the Saviles will blame for the civil war, but the problem is that once the scope of the war includes Dry Steel City, then the business of Dry Steel City It will inevitably be affected, and businesses in Kugang City will temporarily leave their residences just like ordinary people.
In this way, I am afraid that there will be no more foreign merchants from Deliyat in the dry steel city, and their caravans mainly transport goods with Deliyat’s merchants. Now if those merchants are Going away, then the goods they delivered this time will certainly not be sold.
What's more important is that war often brings security problems. Ordinary robbers are enough. The guards of the caravan are enough to deal with those people. But if the robbers are the army, then they are really in trouble.
For a time, the caravan seniors became nervous, and they casually ordered the camping, and they gathered in a tent to discuss whether they should continue to the dry steel city.
When the caravan was camping, Leo had already quietly left the camp and came to the barrel town. He mainly wanted to know the news in the Kingdom of Marais.
Because it is a remote town in the deep mountain and old forest, there is no such thing as a newspaper that can provide a lot of information. Leo can only follow the old method in the most lively tavern in the middle of the town. Talk about the situation in the Kingdom of Marais.
The most popular nature of the things that are talking about in the tavern is the monsters and strange things that appear out of thin air after the world has changed. For these things, except for a small number of people who have experienced it in the tavern, everyone else is hearsay, so there are not many people. I really believe that there are monsters and the like in the world, and these topics are used as talks to spend boring time.
However, for Leo, these topics provided him with a lot of useful information.
When he was in the Kingdom of Savile, he also saw some reports about the Kingdom of Marais, but those reports were not very detailed and not much about things like sudden monsters, plus the situation of the Kingdom of Savile itself It quickly stabilized, so Leo was given the illusion that the situation of the Kingdom of Marais should be similar to that of the Savile Kingdom. Even if it was a little worse, it would not be much worse.
But now from the people in the tavern who have escaped to avoid the war disaster, he only knew that the mysterious side of the Maris Kingdom has had a very serious impact on the real world. There are constantly monsters attacking ordinary people everywhere in the Maris Kingdom. Occurred, and not only at night, there are many monsters that appear during the day.
In the face of these monsters, ordinary people simply do not have any resistance. Only the military and city gendarmes can deal with these monsters, but every time they pay huge casualties to solve the monsters.
Legends that appear with monsters, as well as organizations that maintain a fine order such as night watchmen, but their number seems to be much less than that of monsters. Although they can save many people each time, for the mysterious side of the entire Maris Kingdom The situation does not play much role.
However, the kingdom’s army still has absolute repressive power against these monsters, so the towns that encountered the monsters either invited the army of the government army to stay in the town, or simply turned to the rebels. It is precisely because of this that the forces and forces of both sides of the civil war It is also expanding rapidly. Both sides believe that the war will continue and that they will become the ultimate winners, so no one has the idea of ​​peace talks.
Because a large number of people have gathered around the cities where the troops are stationed, the suburbs or remote areas have become deserted, and some villages have not escaped and want to stay in their homes. When they encounter monsters, they often end up extremely Tragic.
In the tavern, there are a few people from the village where the monster slaughtered the village. Most of the other people listened to what these people said and no one took it seriously, but Leo was able to hear the excitement and grief in these words. , Regret, etc. emotions.
In the tavern, some people know that what these people say is true, because they have seen those monsters once, and how they have treated humans as food, so they feel a little bit empathetic, and they also treat themselves I feel so lucky and even more fortunate that I can come to the safe barrel town.
However, these survivors under the mouth of the monster did not know that, just in the tavern where they were, and not far from the table where they were sitting, there were five family members who returned to the shape of ordinary people and sat quietly. there.
Although the disguise of these family members is perfect, under the investigation of Leo's spiritual network, it is easy to distinguish the family members with very special physique and soul.
It can be seen from the thick blood of the four family members that these family members must have attacked humans, and attacked many humans, and even eaten many humans, but Leo did not see any signs of loss of control. Obviously, these families are just pure evil.
However, Leo doesn’t plan to solve these four clan families now, because he would like to see what happens to the clan families that are closely connected with the gods after the gods return, especially in terms of strength. He also wants to know if the night watchman has changed too.
At the same time that the four evil family members were discovered, Leo also found the traces of two night watchmen. They were on the second floor attic of the tavern, and they were positioned to overlook the entire tavern, and the two of them had more sight. It was placed on the four evil family members, apparently for these distances.
The situation of these two night watchmen is not the same. One person should have been implanted with alien cells. The energy fluctuations in his body are similar to those of the clan, while the other is derived from blood awakening, but Leo is not clear. What is the bloodline of this person can only be felt from the energy fluctuations that this person's power may be related to the flame, because his energy fluctuations are somewhat similar to the fire bather Thran, which can make Leo feel very hot.
After discovering these family members and night watchmen, Leo buried a mark on them to determine the location of these people.
After that, he turned his attention to another thing he heard in the tavern.
The person who said this is still some sort of identity. He is a maintenance craftsman of the Army Logistics Support Department of the Royal Government of the Kingdom, and a craftsman with a military rank. He is mainly responsible for the maintenance of steam trains dedicated to the transportation of materials for the military department.
Not long ago, he was responsible for the routine inspection of a steam locomotive, and after several problems were found, it was quickly resolved. After that, the steam train was allowed to leave the maintenance room and continue to be on the rails within a prescribed time. Give various distribution of strategic materials to the Royal Government Army.
Originally this was just a very simple routine inspection, but the steam locomotive he was responsible for the inspection the next day had an accident. The reason was that the speed of the locomotive was unusually fast, which made it impossible to stop the train after arriving at the station. He rushed out of the station and entered the derailment track ahead of time, colliding head-on with another steam train on the opposite side. The two locomotives were damaged on the spot, and the people inside the train suffered heavy casualties.
After hearing this, the craftsman knew that things were bad. If it was just people who were injured, the problem was that the two steam locomotives had crashed. The loss inside was too great for anyone. And the most important thing is that the factory that manufactures locomotive cylinders is still under the control of the Uprising Army, which means that these two steam locomotives cannot be replenished~EbookFREE.me~ There is no doubt that such a major time will necessarily require someone to come Take responsibility, let alone others, his craftsman who repairs the steam train may not be held accountable.
The craftsman soon wanted to understand the pros and cons, and immediately made a decision to escape, so he took all his money overnight and escaped from the factory managed by the military department. He went all the way north and was ready to go to Dalyat.
It's just that he didn't go far, he was unfamiliar with the road, and he encountered some weird things, which made him lost his way, and finally got involved in a group of refugees and came to the wooden barrel town.
After settling down, he was always thinking about why the steam locomotive he was repairing had an accident, so he used the limited resources on hand to carefully restore the process, and even made a steam locomotive that was rudimentary to fall apart at any time. In the end, he came to the conclusion that some of the parts that make up the steam locomotive, after certain combinations, can produce power levels far beyond those measured in the past.
This extraordinary power effect makes the train run faster than before, and also makes the brake system unable to exert its effect after activation, which eventually causes the steam train to pass through the station and another train slowly coming across. Collide.
