The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Things really went as Leo expected. Sherf went to the place where the dispute happened to mediate. Although the conflict between the two sides has subsided, and the Asha County garrison will no longer hold the rebels responsible for the disturbance, there is still nothing wrong with the train crossing. There was room for negotiation, so the soldiers of the rebel army had to get off the train and find a way to leave in Tranquility City, a small border town in Yasha County.

However, when the Governor's Mansion of Yasha County issued this prohibition order, it seemed that they had guessed that there would be similar troubles, so they arranged a large number of animal-drawn carts in cities with steam train stations.

Although the number of these fighters in the rebel army is quite large, there are still enough pack cars to transport them, but the comfort and speed are not as good as the trains.

After Leo got off the train, he didn't immediately hire a car to go to Moonlight City, because the situation in Yasha County had suddenly changed, and Fat Robert needed to learn about the situation in Yasha County from the local black market.

Scherf did not leave with the team of fighters who switched defenses. Instead, he chose to go with Leo and the others. It seemed that his destination was also Moonlight City, the capital of Yasha County.

Although Fatty Robert was a little reluctant to be with Sherf, but when he thought that the dark world of Yasha County had become a little strange, he felt a little unsafe, so he also felt that it would be good to have another capable person by his side, and Leo did not object to Sherf's move, so he acquiesced to Sherf's decision to pass.

Asha County is the largest county in the Marris Kingdom, and the entire county occupies one-seventh of the land in the Marris Kingdom. However, the usable land in Asha County is also the smallest among all counties and provinces, occupying only the entire Asha County. Less than five percent of all the land in the county, because most of the land in Asha County is part of the Weswe Forest.

The Vesvi Forest is the largest forest in the Minsk Continent. It originates from the junction of the Kingdom of Maris and the Kingdom of Deliyat. The Minsk Mountains, the root of all mountains in the Minsk Continent, run through the entire forest from west to east. It also separates the warm air from the south from the cold air from the north.

So while the Marisians were still suffering from the hot summer, the northern part of Deliyad had already entered winter under the shadow of the cold air.

The Vesvi Forest is located at the southern foot of the Minsk Mountains, and the northern edge of the forest grows almost close to the mountains of the Minsk Mountains. It is no exaggeration to say that the northern edge of the forest is almost the northern border of the Maris Kingdom. .

Just like the Black Forest in the Velen Continent, the Vesvi Forest is also a forest with magical powers. Many species that were extinct in other places can still be seen here, and many of them are spiritual creatures.

However, the reason why this forest is famous in the dark world of Velen is because it is the hiding place of most cultists, out-of-control family members and evil superhumans in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that nearly 70% of the wanted people in the dark world who have not been caught or executed are hiding in this huge forest. The transcendent built an evil city of their own deep in the forest.

What is strange is that just like the people of the Orthodox Church will never enter the Black Forest, they do not intend to enter the Vesvi Forest to hunt down those evil beings.

However, they did not intend to indulge these evil existences, so the Orthodox church forces, dominated by the Church of the Hill King, deployed a lot of people in several counties of the Maris Kingdom on the edge of the Wesve Forest.

However, in this line of defense, Yasha County is a gap-like area. It is outside the territory of the influence of the Church, and the roads here extend in all directions. It is difficult for the Orthodox Church to completely control every passage. As a result, Yasha County became the only area where those evil beings in the Wesve Forest could contact the outside world.

However, because there are two groups of vampires and werewolves guarding them, those evil people who regard ordinary people as ants and come to blood sacrifices from time to time dare not make trouble here. Instead, this place has become the safest place in the surrounding counties.

Even so, the battles in the dark world here are completely opposite to the calm on the surface. A large number of bounty hunters who have been offered huge rewards by the church gather here to hunt down those wanted people who ran out of the forest to take a breather.

For the black market, Yasha County is definitely a golden location. Whether it is the resources in the Wesve Forest or the huge commercial gold mines in the dark world of Yasha County, it is worth investing a lot of manpower here.

So a long time ago, the black market sent a large number of people to establish stations in various cities in Yasha County, and even once set up the headquarters of the black market in Minsk mainland in Moonlight City in Yasha County.

However, this move of the black market obviously annoyed the two masters of Yasha County. Almost overnight, all the strongholds of the black market in Yasha County were destroyed, and all members were killed, even Ming The president of the black market in Sk continent.

It is also because of this loss that the black market in the Minsk mainland has been in a slump for a long time, and it has not recovered until now.

Although the new person in charge of the black market and the controller of Yasha County negotiated the conditions to allow the black market to re-enter Yasha County, the price was very high, and they were always suppressed by the two major races in Yasha County. Once Yasha County took away the auction rights from the black market, the black market could only obey and dare not object.

These unlucky things about the black market were naturally not said by Fatty Robert. On the way to the black market in the city, Sherf deliberately told Leo. In the past few days on the train, things like this between the two of them exposing embarrassing things to each other often happened. became the daily norm.

Leo was very happy to see this kind of thing, because in the process of exposing embarrassing stories between the two of them, he could hear a lot of secret things that can't be bought even with money.

The group soon came to the entrance of the black market in Tranquility City. Compared with the black market in Dry Steel City, this black market was really not popular because the black market was built in the sewer.

I got into the sewer with a short body, walked through a somewhat dirty passage, then turned a corner, and boarded a small slope. There was a burst of noise in front of me, and the surrounding ground was much cleaner. The stench of the sewer seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, blocking the bottom of the slope.

The three of them walked some distance, and an iron door appeared in front of them, and two guards with hoods covering their faces stood at the door.

They looked at the three of Leo, their eyes stayed on Fat Robert for a while, then moved away, knocked on the iron door, the iron door slowly rose, the noisy sound was immediately amplified several times, and It was also accompanied by a cloudy breath.

After the three of them walked in, they saw that standing at the door and opening the iron door was a deformed giant with a height of five meters. Judging from his various performances, his IQ should not be very high, but he was very strong. This situation may be inborn, or it may be the degeneration caused by the mutation of the blood and the stimulation of the original power.

The eyes of the three people only stayed on the deformed giant for a while, and then shifted to the lively square in front of them, which was relatively large in size.

This black market is very lively. The square is filled with all kinds of stalls. You can see a lot of strange items on the stalls. A large number of people are moving slowly between the units. Most of these people are wearing a mask. Layers of black robes put on masks to hide their appearance and figure, and some people did not cover up, as if they were not afraid of their appearance being seen by others.

"Here..." Leo frowned after sweeping his gaze across the square, then turned to fat Robert and asked, "Is this a black market?"

Fatty Robert naturally heard Leo's questioning voice, he also frowned, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be?"

Scherf also hesitated and said, "There are too many people here?"

It's no wonder that the three of them have doubts about the black market in front of them, because this black market looks extremely prosperous and lively, and some large transactions are completed in front of the stalls from time to time, and its prosperity is far better than that of the black market in Kugang City.

But even the dullest people can find something wrong with this black market, because there are at least a thousand people on both sides of the transaction here, and such a huge number of transcendents and bounty hunters, even the black markets in those big cities are impossible. I know that the black market in Dry Steel City is already considered the largest gathering place for bounty hunters and extraordinary people in the Northwest, but the number of people there was only in the early 200s at the time. How could there be thousands of bounty hunters in a small fringe city like Tranquility City? What about the Transcendent?

Compared to the fat Robert and Shelf who only judged by the number of people, Leo's mental network checked the situation of everyone present, and he found the two guards at the door and the giant who opened the door. In addition, there are only five people in the entire black market who have energy fluctuations, and they are very weak, so weak that they are not much better than ordinary people, while the others are all ordinary people.

The ordinary people mentioned here do not refer to bounty hunters whose physical fitness has reached the normal limit, but real ordinary people, and his extraordinary hearing allows him to hear the conversations of those people in the market, which also allows him to quickly understand Facing the situation of the black market.

It turned out that the so-called black market here has turned into an underground market that sells all kinds of weird and weird items, and their customers are no longer those bounty hunters and superhumans, but ordinary people with a strong sense of curiosity.

In the past, there were not many customers who went to the black market to buy things because of the curiosity-seeking psychology. At most, there were only more than a hundred people. However, after various rumors of monsters appeared around the world, the number of ordinary people who came here suddenly increased. There are thousands of people buying things here, so the black market here has to limit the number of people.

If the watchmen hadn't recognized Fat Robert just now, maybe they wouldn't let Leo in.

Also because of the change in nature, the items sold here look strange and seem to contain some mysterious power, but in fact they are all fakes, not only that, but also provide services for ordinary people to get in touch with mysterious things, that is, to bring He led some ordinary people to go on a so-called witch hunt, but depending on the situation, I'm afraid it should be a play written and directed by people in the black market.

"Damn it! What the hell is that woman Katie doing?" Fat Robert cursed the doctor unacceptably, and then quickly scanned the market, as if looking for someone.

At this moment, Leo pointed at a woman who looked like a fortune teller in a corner of the market and said, "I think the person you are looking for is there."

Looking in the direction of Leo's finger, Fatty Robert's face became extremely ugly, and he quickly walked towards the divination booth over there against the flow of people, and then drove away the couple in front of the booth, saying: " Sorry, this stall is temporarily closed, you guys go to other places!"

The men and women who were driven away were still very excited and wanted to say something, but when they saw the tall Leo next to Fatty Robert and the fierce-looking Shelf in military uniform, they swallowed the words that came to their lips. Hastily walked away.

The woman sitting on the other side of the divination booth raised her hood, revealing a wild and beautiful face, and said to Robert angrily: "Robert, it's not good for you to destroy my business like this. According to the rules, you have to pay for it." I will pay three times as much."

"You should explain your own affairs first! Katie." Robert pointed to the market behind him, and said angrily: "You have run a good black market like this. If your situation here is The higher ups know, you..."

"Not only will I not be punished, but I will also be rewarded." The woman smiled disdainfully and said, "Don't worry, the black market is allowed to become like this."

Robert froze for a moment, and said with a look of surprise, "Why?"

"Naturally, it is to maintain a stronghold in the black market!" The woman gave Fatty Robert an angry look, and said, "Our place is no match for yours. Those two ethnic groups ruled. They would kill anyone who dared to make trouble here, and would not give any bounty hunter a chance to make a move. Now the bounty hunters in the entire Yasha County are all concentrated in the night at the border of the Wesve Forest Town, as for other cities, even the black market in Moonlight City is the same as here.” She laughed at herself and said, “But this is also good, you don’t have to risk your life to earn a little The bounty, the money earned here is much more than the pure black market every month, even if the tax agreed by the two clans is paid, a large amount can still be retained."

Hearing what the woman said, Fat Robert opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Leo, who heard the conversation between the two, didn't show any strange expression. In his eyes, whether the vampires and werewolves are strong or not has nothing to do with him, provided that they don't provoke him.

After hearing this, Sherf next to him restrained his mocking smile at Fat Robert, and his face became serious. Obviously, the two major ethnic groups in Yasha County were far beyond what he knew. It is not good news for the rebels on the border.
