Afterwards, the two days passed very peacefully. Not only was the Savile Caravan camp peaceful, but even the interior of Kusteel City was extremely peaceful. The night shift workers that often happened before suddenly disappeared, and the attacks by monsters did not happen again. It seemed that

It seems like all the disasters have passed.

Although the residents of Kugang City have not yet been able to completely relax and are still walking on the streets with fear, the overall atmosphere is much better than the previous two days.

In the past two days, there have been two things that have been discussed by people in the city. One is that an abandoned manor in the suburbs was blocked by the military police and the police. According to rumors, the board of directors found out about those monsters through a reward.

Lair, and then sent a large number of military police to invade the monster's lair and eliminate all the monsters.

Although the people in the city did not believe this rumor at first, because everyone had seen what the gendarmes and police looked like during the period when the monsters in the city were the most violent. In their opinion, even if the monster stood in front of those gendarmes and police, those gendarmes would

Neither the police nor the police may be able to harm those monsters.

But it has to be said that there have indeed been no more monster attacks on humans in the city in the past two days. This seems to prove the rumor in disguise, so people's attitude towards the news has become suspicious, and as time goes by, no more

If there is no news about monsters attacking businessmen, more and more people will believe this rumor, and by then the reputation of the board of directors, military police and police will increase accordingly.

As for the second news, it is not good news for Kugang City. It can even be said to be extremely bad. The two cities closest to Kugang City have defected to the rebel army and the government army respectively. In other words, now Ma

The two military armies of the Reese Kingdom are within half a day's journey of Kusteel City. Both sides also submitted a letter to the board of directors of Kusteel City at the same time a day ago. The main content of the letter is nothing more than asking Kusteel City to accept it.

Takeover by government forces or rebel forces.

What's interesting is that at this time, both sides, who were clearly hostile forces, actually stopped military operations against each other and rested quietly in the two newly occupied cities, waiting for the final choice to be made.

The entire Kugang City, whether it is the high-ranking city board of directors or the most ordinary workers at the bottom, all know that no matter what choice Kugang City makes, there will definitely be a war waiting for them, because no matter which party he agrees to be taken over,

The other side will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, and will definitely concentrate its maximum force to completely destroy Kugang City.

Faced with this situation, workers at the bottom discussed it very heatedly. Many people were even worried about the impact of the war and began to hoard food at home. However, the board of directors seemed very calm. They just wrote an affectionate letter, but it was

A useless reply, and then no further action.

But if someone is careful, they will find that Kugang City has secretly recruited young men and women for military training in various factories. The physical fitness of these young workers is not a problem. With a little training, they can easily become qualified soldiers.

In addition, the board of directors of Kugang City also began to secretly conduct large-scale transactions with merchants from all over the city in the suburban market, including transactions in food and furs.

For example, the furs that Leo's Savile Caravan originally planned to sell to Dalyat were all sold to the board of directors of Dry Steel City at a price that was 30% higher than the normal price.

It can be judged from various signs that the board of directors of Kugangcheng does not seem to be prepared to defect to any party.

When Leo heard the relevant news, he also felt that the board of directors of Kusteel City had made the most correct decision.

As long as Kugang City shows strong military power and makes both sides feel that it is impossible to capture and occupy Kugang City in a short period of time, neither the government forces nor the rebels will act rashly against Kugang City and will act as normal.

They use their own trading methods to buy steel from Dry Steel City, because none of them would like to see a neutral city with an important status and role pushed to the enemy's side because of their own offensive behavior.

Due to the purchase of materials by Dry Steel City, the Savile Caravan not only sold all the furs at a good price, but also advanced their trip several days. They also sold all the furs and purchased enough furs.

After picking up the goods, they decided to leave Kugang City because they also felt that the atmosphere here was becoming increasingly tense and they did not want to be involved in a foreign war.

Gu Sang, the caravan steward, also raised enough money to buy the few remaining wood carvings from Leo because the selling price was higher than expected. Although he knew that Sanz also bought a wood carving from Leo, after learning about the wood carving,

After the effect, he didn't care. In his eyes, only the wood carvings that gave the owner powerful power and increased the warrior's combat power were worthy of his heavy purchase.

After buying the wood carvings, Gu Sang couldn't wait to let the warriors of his tribe test the power of these wood carvings. The results made him extremely satisfied. After receiving the power given by the wood carvings, each warrior showed extremely strong fighting power. Everyone

They can easily defeat all the guards in the caravan.

After seeing how powerful the wood carvings were, people from other tribes in the caravan were also extremely moved. However, after learning about the price, they couldn't help but sigh that even if Leo still had the wood carvings on hand, they couldn't buy it.

rise.

However, they also had a sense of schadenfreude towards Gu Sang, because Gu Sang had spent all the capital and profits from this business trip in order to purchase these wood carvings. They should have bought a batch of goods here and transported them back to the tribe, thus maintaining the tribe.

He has always had enough funds to survive, but now that he goes back empty-handed, the capital chain will inevitably be broken. This is a very serious problem for any tribe. Even if Gu Sang helps the tribe buy back several magical items, I am afraid he will not be able to escape accountability.

.

However, in Gu Sang's opinion, the money spent on these wood carvings is completely worth it. Not only will he not receive any blame, but he will receive a lot of rewards for this matter.

After selling the wood carvings, Leo went to the black market and sold a few rune traps that he regarded as defective items. Although he thought they were defective items, for others, these runes could be used without special power.

Traps will undoubtedly be their weapon to save their lives.

Therefore, when Fat Robert put these rune traps up for sale, the bounty hunters generously offered a price that was far higher than expected.

It has to be said that these bounty hunters are very sensitive. They should all feel that the world has begun to become different, and their work has become much more dangerous. The more life-saving means they have, the more chances of survival they have.

On the day when the caravan resumed its journey back home, Leo and Fat Robert boarded the steam train bound for Asa County.

Because steam train accidents occur frequently, both the government army and the rebel army have stopped most of the steam trains that are in danger of accidents. Their screening method is to look at the manufacturing events of steam locomotives, because they found that the earlier the steam locomotives appeared, the more likely they were to have accidents.

The fewer accidents there are, on the contrary, those steam locomotives that are newly forged and use the latest technology will in all likelihood be out of control.

The steam train Leo is riding now is an old locomotive that was pulled out of the train museum not long ago. Not only does this locomotive have a much smaller pulling force, it can only pull eleven carriages, the cylinder is also very poor, and there is no facility to filter smoke and dust.

, the mist sprayed out was all black, and just after standing on the platform for a while, a layer of dust fell on my body.

"Damn it! I almost thought I had gone back decades ago." After entering the carriage, Fat Robert took off his hat, slapped the dust on his body hard, cursed repeatedly, and at the same time looked at his clean body with great envy.

Leo.

Just now, he saw the dust automatically bypassing Leo when it approached Leo, as if there was a wall around Leo. He was extremely envious of this ability.

After placing the salute on the luggage rack of the carriage, Leo frowned as he watched Fat Robert shaking the dust everywhere, and then directly used his spiritual power to deal with the dust.

Fat Robert only saw the dust on his body, on the ground and in the surrounding air. As if attracted by an invisible force, it quickly gathered in the air, forming a dust ball in the blink of an eye, and then flew out of the window that opened automatically.

go out.

"Uh, thank you." Fatty Robert naturally knew who did this and quickly thanked Leo.

Leo nodded without saying a word. He took out a book from the salute, put down the bed in the carriage, turned on the bedside lamp, sat on the bed, and started reading.

Seeing Leo's actions, Fat Robert felt that the trip in the next few days might be very boring, and he regretted inviting Leo to accompany him.

The train Leo took was not a freight train, but a purely passenger train. Although the board of directors of Kuangang City tried their best to stabilize the mood of the people in the city, many people's worries about the war have not been alleviated, so those who have experience in other cities

Relatives and friends plan to leave Kugang City and seek refuge elsewhere for a while first.

Since there are not many old locomotives that can be used, the number of trains is also much less, so it is now very difficult to get tickets for this train. If it were not for Fat Robert's black market operation, Leo would have to use some extraordinary means.

, otherwise as a foreigner, it would be difficult for him to get a ticket, let alone a ticket for a first-class carriage with an independent carriage.

As the whistle sounded, most of the passengers had already boarded the train. The platform staff began to drive away the people who were still standing on the platform to prevent people from losing sight of the road due to the mist and falling onto the train cabinets. At the same time, the station maintenance

The personnel began to inspect the train, each pulling a T-hammer and beating the wheels and bearings to judge the quality of these important components from the sound.

Inside the car, the flight attendant began to check each compartment one by one. After confirming that there were no problems, he stood at the door and waved a small flag.

Then, the train made a long sound and slowly moved forward. Soon it moved faster and faster, and finally reached an approximately uniform speed, heading forward along the track.

The old-style locomotive did not travel very fast. It took more than three hours to reach the next city. This city was currently occupied by the rebels, which caused some trouble when the train stopped.

Because the rebel army needed to rotate a group of soldiers, and the rotated soldiers were originally meant to be used as the rebel army's own troop transport train to leave, but that train had an accident and had been returned to the factory for repairs, which forced these soldiers to stay

Come down.

Now the arrival of this train is undoubtedly valued by the officers of the rebel army. They directly commandeered the train, moved some ordinary seat passengers into the double-layer open-air carriage in front, placed the soldiers in the ordinary seat carriage, and placed the officers in the

In the first-class carriage.

However, their attitude towards the first-class carriages was not so rigid. After all, they did not know the identities behind the people who worked on the first-class carriages. If they offended someone they could not afford to offend, they would be in trouble, so they

The passengers in the upper-class carriages were not driven away, but one or two people were arranged in each carriage, and the passengers were even offered to pay their fares.

An officer was placed in the carriage of Leo and Fat Robert, a rebel officer whose appearance and temperament were very Maresian.

With the beginning of the great voyage, the exchanges between the east and west continents began to increase, and the people-to-people exchanges between the two continents also increased. The gold rush in the Kingdom of Maris more than a hundred years ago, and the great plague in Velen Continent more than two hundred years ago

, coupled with some wars that occurred from time to time, caused a large number of people from Velen Continent to move to Minsk Continent.

Among the three kingdoms of the Minsk continent, Dalyat lives in the north and is subject to the cold current from the north all year round. Cold is the only theme of this kingdom, which makes the people of the Velen continent who are accustomed to warm climates very uncomfortable with the climate there.

As for the Savile Kingdom, no one wants to live in that desert kingdom. It is not only an environmental issue, but also a custom issue.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Maris has become the preferred immigration country for these Velen continent people.

The Kingdom of Maris is naturally happy to accept these immigrants, because there are frequent conflicts and wars between the large and small lords of the Kingdom of Maris, and for other reasons, the population of the Kingdom of Maris has never been very large.

Although it is one of the three major kingdoms in the Minsk continent, its population is similar to the population of the Seven Kingdoms of Hannossa in the north of the Velen continent, so when a large number of immigrants poured in, the Kingdom of Maris was completely happy to accept it.

However, as the foreign population increased, the native people of Maris began to decrease rapidly. Now, there are almost no pure Maris people in the Kingdom of Maris, and most of them are mixed races.

It was obvious that the rebel officer who appeared in front of Leo and Fat Robert was definitely a Maris, because he had the vertical pupils that only a pure Maris had.

While Fatty Robert paid attention to the opponent's appearance, Leo paid more attention to the opponent's inner nature, such as energy fluctuations. Judging from the intensity of the energy fluctuations on the opponent's body, the opponent was obviously an extraordinary person, a fourth-level psyker.
