, The fastest update of the latest chapter of the mysterious world under steampunk!
Afterwards, two days passed peacefully, not only the camp of the Savile Caravan was calm, but even in the Iron and Steel City, the night shift workers who often happened before suddenly disappeared, and the attacks by monsters did not happen again, as if All disasters have passed.
Although the residents of Dry Steel City have not been able to relax completely, they still walk on the streets with confidence, but the overall atmosphere is much better than in the past two days.
In the past two days, two things have been discussed by the people in the city of Dry Steel. 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 those monsters through a reward. The old nest, and then sent a large number of military police to attack the monster nest, and wipe out all the monsters.
Although the people in the city didn't believe this rumor at first, because the monsters and police in the city were the most fierce during that time, everyone looked at them. Even if the monsters stood in front of the police and police Neither the police nor the police may be able to harm those monsters.
But I have to say that there have been no monsters attacking humans in these two days. This seems to prove the rumor in disguise, so people’s attitude towards this news has become suspicious, and as time goes on, no longer If there is no news of monsters attacking merchants, there will be more and more people who believe this rumor, and the prestige of the board of directors, the gendarmerie and the police will increase accordingly.
As for the second news, it is not good news for Kugang City, and it can even be said to be extremely bad. The two cities closest to Kugang City have already relied on the rebel army and government forces, that is, now Ma The two military armies of the Kingdom of Reis are within a half-day distance from Kugang City. Both sides also delivered a letter to the board of Kugang City one day ago. The main content of the letter is nothing more than to ask Kugang City to accept Takeover of government forces or rebel forces.
What's interesting is that at this time, both parties who were clearly under hostile forces stopped each other's military operations, quietly rested in the two newly occupied cities, and were waiting for a final choice here.
No matter whether it is the board of directors or the most ordinary workers at the bottom of the city, the whole city of Dry Steel City knows that no matter what choice Dry Steel 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 never sit idly by, and will definitely concentrate the greatest force to completely destroy the dry steel city.
In the face of this situation, the workers at the bottom of the discussion were very enthusiastic. Many people were worried about the impact of the war and began to hoard food at home, but the board of directors seemed very calm. They just wrote an affectionate but There is no useful reply, and then there is no other action.
But if someone is careful, it will be found that Ku Gangcheng began to recruit young and strong men in various factories for military training. The physical qualities of these young workers are naturally not a matter of fact. With a little training, they can easily become a qualified soldier.
In addition, the board of directors of Dry Steel City began to secretly engage in large-scale transactions with merchants from all over the suburban market, including food transactions and fur transactions.
For example, the furs that the Savile caravan where Leo was originally planning to sell to Dailiat were all sold to the board of directors of Dry Steel City at a high price that was 30% higher than the normal price.
Various signs can be judged that the board of directors of Dry Steel City does not seem to be prepared to surrender to any party.
When Leo heard the relevant news, he also felt that the board of directors of Dry Steel City had made the most correct decision.
As long as Dry Steel City displayed strong military power, and both sides felt that they could not capture and occupy Dry Steel City in a short period of time, neither the government army nor the rebel army would act rashly on Dry Steel City. To buy steel from Dry Steel City, because none of them would like to see a neutral city with an important position and role pushed to the enemy's side due to their own aggressive behavior.
Due to the purchase of materials by Dry Steel City, the Savile Caravan not only sold all the fur at a good price, but also advanced the itinerary for several days. They also sold all the fur and bought enough After the goods, they decided to depart from Kugang City, because they also felt that the atmosphere here became more and more tense, and they did not want to be involved in foreign wars.
The caravan manager Gu Sang also got enough money to buy the few wood carvings left by Leo because of the higher than the expected selling price. Although he knew that Sans also bought a wood carving from Leo, he was understanding the wood carving. After the action, he didn't care. In his eyes, only the wood carving that gave the owner powerful power and increased the warrior's combat power was worth his heavy purchase.
After buying the wood carvings, Gu Sang couldn’t wait for the warriors of his tribe to test the power of these wood carvings. The result made him feel very satisfied. Every warrior showed extremely powerful fighting power after gaining the power given by the wood carving. Everyone Can easily defeat all the guards in the caravan.
After seeing how powerful the wood carving was, the other tribes of the caravan were also very moved, but after understanding the price, they couldn't help but sigh, even if Leo still had wood carving on hand, they couldn't buy it. Up.
However, they also had a hint of gloating over Gu Sang, because Gu Sang had purchased all these wood carvings and had lost all the principals and benefits of this trader. He should have bought a batch of goods here and shipped them back to the tribe to maintain the tribe There is always enough funds to maintain his livelihood, but now when he goes back empty-handed, the capital chain must be broken. This is a very serious problem for any tribe. Even if Gu Sang helped the tribe to buy back a few magical items, I am afraid it will not escape accountability .
However, in Gu Sang's view, the money spent on these wood carvings is totally worth it. Not only will he not be blamed, but he will receive a lot of rewards for this matter.
After selling the wood carvings, Leo went to the black market to shoot several rune traps that he regarded as defective products. Although he thought it was a defective product, for other people, these runes can be used without special power. The trap will undoubtedly be their weapon of life-saving.
Therefore, when the fat man Robert listed these rune traps for sale, those bounty hunters were not stingy and gave far higher prices than expected.
It has to be said that these bounty hunters are very sensitive. They should all feel that the world is beginning to be different. Their work is also much more dangerous. The more life-saving means they have, the more chances of survival.
On the day when the caravan returned to China, Leo and Fatty Robert boarded the steam train to Asha.
Because of the frequent occurrence of steam train accidents, the government army and the rebel army stopped most of the steam trains that are in danger of accidents. The way they screened is to look at the steam locomotive manufacturing incidents, because they found that the earlier steam locomotives appeared The fewer accidents there are, the steam locomotives with the latest forging and the latest technology will get out of control.
The steam train that Leo is now riding is such an old locomotive that was pulled out from the train museum not long ago. This locomotive not only has a much lower pulling force, but only 11 carriages, the cylinder is also very poor, and there is no facility to filter soot. The mist sprayed out was all black, and just after standing on the platform for a while, a layer of gray fell on him.
"Damn! I almost thought I had returned to decades ago." After entering the compartment, the fat man took off his hat, slammed the dust on his body, cursed, and looked at his body with envy. Leo.
Just now, he saw that the dust automatically bypassed Leo when he approached Leo, as if there was a wall around Leo, he was envious of this ability.
After putting the salute on the trunk of the carriage, Leo watched Fatty Rob shaking the dust everywhere, and he could not help frowning, and then directly used Spirit to solve the dust.
Fat Robert only saw the dust in his body, on the ground and in the surrounding air, as if attracted by an invisible force, quickly gathered in the air, a dust ball formed in the blink of an eye, and then flew from the automatically opened window Go out.
"Uh, thank you." The fat man naturally knew who this was, and quickly thanked Leo.
Leo nodded and did not speak. He took a book from the salute, put down the bed in the carriage, turned on the bedside lamp, sat on the bed, and looked up.
Seeing Leo's movements, Fat Man felt that the next few days' trip might be very boring. He regretted inviting Leo to go with him.
The train Leo took was not a freight train, but a pure passenger train. Although the board of directors of Kanggang City tried to stabilize the mood of the people in the city, many people’s worries about the war remained unrelieved, so those in other cities Relatives and friends intend to leave Kugang City and go to other places for a while to talk for a while.
Because there are not many old locomotives available, the trains that are out there are also much less frequent, so that now the ticket for this train is very difficult to get. If there is no fat black market operation, Leo unless using some extraordinary means Otherwise, in his capacity as a foreigner, I am afraid that it is difficult to get a ticket, not to mention the first-class ticket with an independent car.
With the sound of a whistle, most of the passengers have already got on the bus, and the staff on the platform began to drive the people who are still on the platform to avoid someone from falling on the car cabinet because of the fog and seeing the road. At the same time, the station maintenance The personnel began to inspect the train, each pulling a T-shaped hammer, hitting the wheels and bearings, judging the quality of these important parts from the sound.
In the car, the flight attendant started to check each car one by one, and after confirming that there was no problem, he stood at the door and waved a small flag.
Subsequently, the train made a long beep, slowly moving forward, and soon moving faster and faster, and finally reached an approximately constant speed, driving along the track and heading forward.
The speed of the old locomotive is not very fast. It took more than three hours to reach the next city. The city is now occupied by the rebels, which caused some trouble when the train stopped.
Because the rebel army needs to rotate a group of soldiers, and the soldiers who were rotated were originally left to make their own troop-carrying train, but the train had an accident and had returned to the factory for repairs, which made these soldiers have to stay Down.
Now the arrival of this train is undoubtedly valued by the officers of the Uprising. The train is directly requisitioned, and some ordinary seat passengers feel the double-layer open-air car in front, placing the soldiers in the ordinary seat compartment, and placing the officer in In the first class car.
However, their attitude towards the first-class cars is not so rigid. After all, they don’t know the identity behind these people who make the first-class cars. If they offend a person who can’t afford it, then they will be unlucky, so they The passengers in the first-class cars are not driven away, only one or two people are arranged in each car, and the fares of these people are also actively paid.
Leo and Fatty Rob's compartment had an officer, a Uprising officer with a very good 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 of the Kingdom of Marais more than 100 years ago, the great plague of the Weilun mainland more than two hundred years ago , Together with some wars from time to time, caused a large number of people from Velen to move to Minsk.
Among the three major kingdoms on the Minsk continent, Deliat was always affected by the cold currents in the north because of his residence in the north. Coldness is the only theme of this kingdom, which makes the Weilun mainlanders who are used to the warm climate very uncomfortable with the climate there.
As for the Kingdom of Savile, no one wants to live in that desert kingdom~EbookFREE.me~ Not only environmental issues, but also customary issues.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Maris has become the preferred immigration country for these Weilun mainlanders.
The Kingdom of Maris is naturally willing to accept these immigrants, because the large and small lords of the Kingdom of Maris often have conflicts and wars, plus other reasons, the population of the Kingdom of Maris has not always been very large.
Although it is one of the three major kingdoms of the Minsk continent, its population is about the same as the population of the Hannosa Seven Nations Alliance in the northern part of the Velun continent, so when a large number of immigrants flow in, the Kingdom of Marais is completely willing to accept it.
Only with the increase of foreign population, the native people of Maris began to decrease rapidly, and now the Kingdom of Maris has almost no pure Maris, most of them are mixed race.
Obviously, the rebel army officer who appeared in front of Leo and Fat Rob was definitely a Maris, because he had the vertical pupils possessed by pure Maris talents.
When the fat man pays close attention to the appearance of the other party, Leo pays more attention to the other party's internals, such as energy fluctuations. According to the intensity of the energy fluctuations on the other party, the other party is obviously a transcendent and a level 4 psionicist. The extraordinary.
