Chapter 1102 Strict inspection
Leo also entered the town protected by high walls with this group. None of the people in this group were curious about Leo, the extra person, and the guards of those towns seemed to regard Leo as one of the group, without any other statements.
After entering this gate, they did not officially enter the city, but entered a barrier-like city.
There were more than a dozen fully armed people waiting in this small city. Each of them was holding a steam crossbow in their hands, and most of them had adjusted the crossbow to standby. Those who did not turn on the steam crossbow were holding an incense stove with the mark of the lady in the lake in their hands, and some smoked grass smelled a bit of fishy smell in the stove.
After the group came in, everyone around pointed their weapons at them, and the town officials ordered everyone to put down their weapons and stand in sequence at a distance. The group seemed to understand what they were going to do. Without resisting, they placed the weapons in their hands on the ground, and then skillfully arranged them in a row at a certain distance.
Leo did not get between them, but walked to the corner of the wall and watched their behavior. Everyone around seemed to regard Leo as an invisible person under the influence of Leo's psychic skills and did not look at Leo more.
Then, the officials carrying smoked lamps were chanting the prayer of the lady in the lake while shaking the smoked lamps in their hands. The smoke coming out of the smoked lamps seemed to be pulled by some force. After floating into the air, it did not dissipate, but instead surrounded those people. When the smoke touched the body, the body emitted a little spark-like light.
When they saw those people emitting a spark-like light, the originally tense nerves on everyone's faces relaxed a little, as if this was a good thing.
Leo, who was watching the whole process, had already figured out the details of the ceremony through the spiritual network, and his expression became a little serious. At the same time, he also used another method to clean up the things stained on his body.
The city entry rituals that these people now perform, which look like religious rituals, are actually a disinfection program, which is similar to the disinfection instruments used by the exploration fleets in the universe that explore unknown planets. They are all designed to kill foreign microorganisms that may be harmful. However, these thick smoke is not aimed at microorganisms, but at some subtle forces attached to the microorganisms.
Some extraordinary powers contained in the thick smoke can instantly brittle the subtle powers contained in these microorganisms like catalysts, allowing these subtle powers to burn quickly like matches and then extinguish.
In fact, Leo had already noticed these subtle forces from the beginning. When he entered the forest, he felt that some spore-like microorganisms were contaminated by him, and these microorganisms all had weak abnormal abilities. However, because these abnormal energy did not harm him, Leo did not pay much attention to it. Now it seems that this microorganism containing abnormal energy may be a very dangerous thing.
After repeated smoke and no light spots appeared on everyone's body, those who held the incense burner stopped chanting prayers and then walked away with the incense burner. Some others came over with a kettle and gave each person a glass of water to drink.
After drinking these people, some people had no problems, while others spit out some rice-sized insects as if they had drunk some vomiting agent. After being spit out, the insects were squirmed for a few times and then there was no movement.
Those who spit out the insects drank a few more glasses of water until they did not spit out the insects and stopped pouring water into their stomachs.
It was not until this moment that the surrounding town guards relaxed safely, and the weapons in their hands were adjusted back to standby. The leader of the group also took out some money and handed it to the person in charge of the ceremony, and got a sign from the other party and hung it around his neck.
After this series of tedious procedures, the group of people carried their backs and walked towards the city gate that opened at the other end of the urn, and the other town guards also dispersed and returned to their original positions.
Leo walked to the place where Naxier spit out the insects just now, fiddled with the insects on the ground, and found that these insects were actually plant seeds, but now these plant seeds are all dry and losing all their vitality.
Obviously, these plant seeds should be dyed in the forest like the microorganisms attached to those people. When these people inhaled this plant seed, the size of the seeds should be about the same as that of the microorganisms, otherwise they would not be able to detect it. Now these plant seeds should have grown in their bodies.
Although Leo was not sure what the subsequent growth of these plant seeds would be, he could infer what the people who were parasitized by these plant seeds would be like, because he had seen some people parasitized by alien spores in the universe. Life is worse than death, and not living or not dying is the most correct description of their situation at that time.
Leo had checked the inside of his body before, and his body was very clean. Maybe he inhaled the seeds when he was in the forest, but his body's own absorption ability probably had digested all the seeds.
After entering from the gate of the city, he bypassed a protective wall that opened several cannons. Only then did the group officially enter the city, and Leo saw the whole picture of the town.
Although Leo has never been to Landosto, because it is also under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Government of Port Landosto and is within the territory of Sylvia, Leo has also seen a lot of information about Landosto from some administrative documents that Sylvia needs to process every day.
Because this town is mainly used to assist in the transfer of goods from Landauer Port, the buildings here are mainly warehouses, which are used to stack goods that will be sent to steam trains at any time. Most of the people living here are porters. These porters and their families have built some residential areas near the warehouse area. Some shrewd merchants have also opened their shops here to form a commercial area, and these three areas form Landausdo.
Because there is a large amount of goods here and it is one of the most important distribution centers of goods in the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom also stationed an army here, specifically to protect the safety of towns.
In short, Landosdo gives Leo the feeling that the urban area is clearly divided, the urban area is simple, and the road is also very spacious to facilitate cargo transportation.
However, in Leo's eyes, Landosdo is an industrial city with chaotic planning. The entire city is built around five large chimneys more than 20 meters high in the center of the city. All the buildings look like they are tilted and they feel that they may collapse at any time. Overall, they look like a big tree that has not been constructed and grown wildly.
However, in such a city with extremely chaotic overall planning and no rules, there is a very strange energy. All of these energy comes from roads on the ground and some buildings. Leo thinks this may be some kind of rune magic array, because this energy makes him feel a little familiar.
However, if you want to get a definite answer, Leo can only cover the entire process through the spiritual network to see the whole picture. However, if you do so, you may have unpredictable bad situations, such as touching some defense mechanisms of the city. So Leo decided to wait until the night to see if he could fly into the air with his psychic wings and overlook the whole city.
In addition, there is one thing worth paying attention to throughout the city, which is the fountains and statues of ladies in the lakes that are spread throughout the city.
Judging from what Leo is seeing now, Landosto has become a city of believers for ladies in the lake. Almost all the residents of the city are believers for ladies in the lake. When passing by the fountain, they will dip a little water from the fountain, point it on their foreheads, and draw a simple sacred emblem for ladies in the lake on their chest.
At the top of all buildings, there are simple holy emblems for ladies in the lake. Whether it is the fountain of ladies in the lake or the holy emblems on the roof, they emit very weak energy radiation. This energy radiation is very weak, almost infinitely close to the minimum limit of Leo's extraordinary induction.
At the same time, because of the effect of these radiant energy, the original energy field in the entire city becomes very chaotic, giving Leo a feeling that he has entered an energy turbulent flow, but this energy turbulent flow is not strong and can also play a role in suppressing or affecting extraordinary powers.
There are many people living in Landosto. They are not all flange-like, but there are many people from other countries, but they are locals or outsiders, and almost everyone wears weapons, and they look like they can go to the battlefield at any time.
However, if you look closely, you will find that most of these people are ordinary people, and some people even have less physical fitness than ordinary people. They wear weapons to Leo feel more like they are seeking some kind of psychological comfort.
There is another strange thing in the city. In the range of his sight, there is no mutant in everyone he sees, all of them are normal people, at least on the outside, they are normal people, and even not even a person born with physical deformities. This is really puzzling.
You should know that in the past, even in the world cities like Milia, people who were born with physical deformities were often seen begging in cities. The same is true in other remote towns, because the world is full of various strange energy, and the fetus in the mother's body will be particularly sensitive to this energy. If you are not careful, it will cause physical deformity to grow. Therefore, there are many deformities in this world and it is unavoidable. At least the medical school has not found a solution for such a long time.
But now, in such a city full of various chaotic energy, there is no deformed by energy, and the probability is infinitely close to zero. Therefore, Leo speculated that such a situation would occur, and there is only one possibility, that is, all people with deformities and mutations will be driven out of the city by the people here.
After entering the city, Leo did not immediately separate from the group, but continued to follow the group and walk towards the city center. Compared with the buildings close to the city wall, the buildings near the city center were slightly better and more standardized. At least they did not build all the houses on the street like the outer areas, and still retained a relatively spacious street. The direction leading to this street seemed to be heading towards the train station outside the city.
Soon the group arrived in front of a seven-story building located in the center of the city. They showed their ID documents to the people guarding the door, and successfully entered the high building.
Leo did not follow him in. He just stood outside the tall building and looked at the badge at the top of the tall building. Because the badge was the badge of the Belmont family, there was no doubt that this should be Sylvia's industry.
Leo did not intend to go in and reveal his identity immediately because he didn't know how long it had passed and what was going on here. Before he knew the specific situation, it was not a rational way to rashly contact people in the past. What's more, even if he showed his identity, how could the person in charge here easily believe his identity?
"Black market! Find the black market here first." Leo thought for a while and made a decision.
In Leo's view, even if all the underground organizations and forces in the Veeron world are destroyed, the black market will probably not disappear. It will only be re-displayed in front of people in another way, such as the current casino.
For others, it will be very difficult to find a black market. It may be difficult to find the black market entrance without someone you know. But for Leo, finding a black market is extremely simple. Not to mention that he has already figured out some of the code words of the insiders of the black market. Even without him, he can find the black market through other means.
The casino in front of him is the address Leo obtained by cracking the internal code words left in some conspicuous parts of the city. If you want to enter the black market, you naturally cannot enter through the main entrance of the casino. He easily found a small door on the side of the casino that looked like an entrance to an employee through the spiritual network, and then quietly left.
The waiting and viewing mouth on the door opened, revealing a pair of fierce eyes. He looked at Leo, without saying a word, opened the door directly and let Leo go in by himself.
However, after entering the door, Leo saw three doors with exactly the same style. The janitor did not think of opening the correct entrance for Leo, but instead wrapped his hands around him, sat aside, staring at Leo, waiting for him to make a choice.
