The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Different from the auctions in the black market, the auctions held by the Blood Race did not consider low-key at all. They not only set up the venue in the Moonlight Theater in the center of the city, but even compiled the items to be auctioned into booklets early on and distributed them in the public domain. The booklet recorded most of the auction items and their low prices, which undoubtedly told those participants to prepare their money.

There are also some special items that are not included in the manual, but are marked with a price, and each price is very surprising to show its value.

Although the auction uses money as the transaction object, there are some special items that are marked as barter. Among these commodities, several of them require wizard healing potions as transaction objects, and there are quite a few of them.

Before the carriage arrived at the auction, it was stopped by the law and order police. Most of these policemen were ordinary people, only one or two were blood races. In addition, there were some people standing on the roofs around the street. These people All of them held special steam engine crossbows and watched the crowd on the street vigilantly, in case someone made trouble.

When the carriage was stopped, Leo felt that someone on the roof on both sides was aiming at the carriage with a steam engine crossbow. As long as there was any movement on the side of the carriage, those people would definitely launch an attack immediately.

The tense atmosphere in front of the eyes gives people the feeling that the disappearance of Dawson Quivan and the big incident in the museum have completely annoyed the blood race, so that the blood race has to raise the vigilance of the entire city to the peak.

After Sylvia showed the invitation letter, the carriage was let through, and the threat of falling on the carriage disappeared.

"The blood race will only make people feel that they have no confidence." Sylvia looked at the people on the roof through the curtain, and said disdainfully: "If it were me, I would keep the streets calm, At least it seems to be in a calm state, and then secretly let those unruly people disappear mysteriously one by one, only in this way can it have a shocking effect on those who want to provoke trouble."

Leo also nodded in agreement. He also felt that the behavior of the blood race now seemed to be bluffing, and Leo felt that these actions of the blood race did not seem to be due to the disappearance of Dawson Quivan and the fire in the museum. This incident was just an inducement. The current tense martial law in Moonlight City should have something to do with other things. Even the closure of the railway in Yasha County to prevent external steam trains from entering here may also be related to the current situation.

After Leo had an idea in his mind, he directly told Sylvia the idea.

Sylvia was stunned when she heard the words, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and whispered with a serious expression: "The Duke of the Blood Race may have had an accident."

Leo couldn't help being stunned when he heard Sylvia's inference.

The Duke of Blood, Duncan Quivan, is a very mysterious figure. His duke status is not claimed by himself, but a formal duke conferred by the Kingdom of Maris.

His records first appeared in the period of the Third Kingdom of Maris more than 500 years ago. At that time, he joined the Ika III, who was still the Duke, as a free knight at that time, and then fought in various parts of the Maris Kingdom, and finally assisted Ika III ascended the throne and became the king of the Kingdom of Marris, and his contributions also helped him obtain the title of earl, and the fief happened to be canonized in Crow Ridge in Yasha County.

Afterwards, he experienced military exploits in the war against the invasion of the Savile Kingdom and the border dispute of Deliyat, and married the sister of Ika III at the time, and was finally named Duke, and the fiefdom became Yasha County.

However, after being made a duke, Duncan Quivan did not establish his own duchy as a subsidiary country of the Marris Kingdom like other dukes, but still kept Asha County in the Marris Kingdom.

Since then, for five hundred years, no matter how turbulent the Marris Kingdom was, Yasha County has always maintained a relatively peaceful state, at least on the surface, and Duncan Quivan rarely appears in front of people, usually only in the blood race Only during major events or some very important celebrations will he show his figure and reveal to the outside world that he is still alive.

However, this kind of performance also made many people think that the Duke did not actually exist, or was dead. The Duke mentioned outside is just an illusion deliberately created by the blood race, but no one dared to confirm this.

Because the Duke of Blood's strength is not something to brag about, but his actual achievements. On the battlefield, he has faced the apostle of the king of the hill and the lord of life and death more than once. Under the attack of the apostle, he not only He only survived, and even killed several apostles, which made some people speculate that the ancestor of the demigod of the blood race was actually the blood duke Duncan Kuivan.

Because based on the power that the apostles obtained from the gods, the apostles should be similar to demigods when they are the strongest, and even some evil gods are far from being able to compare with the apostles of the king of the hill and the lord of the birth and death of all things, but they are so powerful The apostle of the blood, but failed to take down the blood duke, and was even killed, which is enough to show the power of the blood duke, and such a powerful power is very similar to the demigod ancestor of the blood clan, it is hard not to make people feel suspicious.

"The Duke of Blood has always been wounded." Sylvia added: "It was left when he fought with the apostle of the Lord of Life and Death. He almost died at that time, but was later rescued by the ancestors of the Witch Squad. This is how the contract signed between the Witch Group and the Blood Race came about. Although the outside world said that his injury had already healed, he even entered the Vesvi Forest to eradicate a person who captured the Blood Race to prove that his injury was healed. The church of the evil god who offered sacrifices, but we witches know that his injuries have not healed."

At this time, the carriage vibrated suddenly, then stopped slowly, and then the driver jumped off the driver's seat, moved a small step, placed it at the door of the carriage, opened the door, and said to Leo and Silvia: " Sir, Miss, the Moonlight Theater is here."

The Moonlight Theater is located on the Broken Sickle Hill, which is the highest place in the entire Moonlight City. Standing on the top of the bell tower of the Moonlight Theater, overlooking the surroundings, you can see the entire Moonlight City.

For a long time, the blood race has always been very fond of various arts. It seems that the blood race has artistic cells in its nature. Even a butcher like Oga Quining will create his own blood art.

When the art form of drama appeared, the blood race's love for drama was undoubtedly revealed. They not only built the largest and most gorgeous theater in the whole world, but even funded various dramatists to create various dramas that had a profound impact on the world. drama.

According to statistics, nearly 80% of the world's plays come from Asa County, and more than 70% of the premieres are held in the Moonlight Theater, which also makes the Moonlight Theater a holy place for theater lovers all over the world.

Many drama lovers think that they have really watched a drama only after seeing a play in the Moonlight Theater, and dramatists even take it as the highest honor to perform their operas in the Moonlight Theater. Usually, on the day of the Moonlight Festival, The dramatists who premiered at the Moonlight Theater will be honored as Moon Crown Chanters.

In this way, this building, which is regarded as a holy place by theater lovers, is strictly protected by the military police. Everyone who enters and exits the Grand Theater must show an invitation letter. Most of those who entered the Moonlight Theater were wearing black cloaks, covering themselves tightly, as if they were about to do something ulterior, which made people worry that something bad would happen things happen.

"We seem to be wearing the wrong clothes!" When Sylvia handed the invitation letter to the military police guarding around the theater before arriving at the Moonlight Theater, Leo looked at the people in cloaks and said with a smile.

"It's okay!" Sylvia hugged Leo's arm affectionately, and said, "We are normal people, and we don't need to hide our heads and show our tails like them."

Sylvia's voice was not loud, but the surrounding people wearing cloaks could hear clearly. Although they were all annoyed by Sylvia's words, they did not take actions to teach Sylvia a lesson due to the vigilance of the surrounding gendarmes. ya.

However, there are also some daring ones who don't have so many worries, and secretly attack Sylvia, trying to make her look ugly.

However, what surprised them was that the abilities they used disappeared out of thin air when they got close to Sylvia, as if there was a monster that could swallow everything beside Sylvia. It also made these people restrain themselves, and did not make any follow-up actions.

Leo and Sylvia climbed up the steps, entered the Moonlight Grand Theater from the main entrance, handed the invitation letter in their hands to the attendant waiting at the door, and then the attendant led them to a specific location in the theater.

The waiter led the two into a box on the second floor, and then briefly explained how to use the light in the window of the box and the button next to the seat to conduct an auction, demonstrated it twice, and said that he had other orders. Time to pull the rope on the wall, then turned and left.

"Why did you stir up those people's emotions on purpose?" After the waiter left, Leo turned to Sylvia and asked.

Sylvia didn't answer immediately, but instead asked Leo, "How's the strength of those people?"

Leo recalled the process of using the spirit net to dispel those energies just now, and said: "It's very general, even the previous you can easily deal with them."

"Those cunning guys only dare to send some small fish and shrimp to pretend." Sylvia said disdainfully.

Leo didn't ask, but waited for Sylvia to explain herself.

Afterwards, Sylvia continued: "According to the information I received, among the several special items in this auction, there are a few items that are particularly important to the Church of the Evil God, so I want to try..."

"How could your method be useful?" Leo smiled, shook his head, and said, "Don't say what you said just now is not a verbal humiliation, even if you really insult them, or even humiliate those evil people The belief of the believers, they will not take any action in that situation."

As he spoke, he stopped suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and turned his head to look at Sylvia thoughtfully.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?" Sylvia couldn't help asking, feeling a little uncomfortable with Leo's gaze.

Leo said with something in his words: "Your actions just now were not for those cult members to see, but for other people to see. Am I right?"

"It's boring." Sylvia curled her lips and said, "The Church of the Hill King has mastered several cult leaders who are sworn enemies of the Church of the Hill King and have entered Moonlight City. They hope that I can help them deal with these people. As the last task of the judge, I have no interest in doing those things, so I plan to deal with it casually."

"Actually, I can help you..." Leo said in a deep voice.

Sylvia shook her head and declined Leo's kindness, and said: "No need! I am very clear about the principles of teaching those people. You have completed their task this time, and you will try to let you do it next time. Don't give them any chance at first."

In this regard, Leo did not force it, but only said that he needed to make a move, and then he focused on the auction list in the box room.

Obviously, the invitation letter from the Blood Race to the Witch Squad belongs to that kind of high-end invitation letter, not only has a separate box room, but also has a more detailed list of auction items, at least thicker than the list Leo saw from Fat Robert. Three times more.

In this directory, not only the current status of the auction items is recorded, but also the origin of the auction items is recorded in detail, but those few special auction items are still not included in the list. Those few auction items were regarded as the finale to expand the influence.

Although Leo was curious about those special auction items, he was more interested in the box that could not be opened in the black market. This was also his main purpose of coming here, so he quickly turned the list to the page where the box was located .

However, he was disappointed that the information about this box was not much more than the information he had read from Fat Robert before, and the extra part did not have much effect. The only useful piece of information was the box The master of the world, the wizard who arranged the root of Turing in the black market disappeared in the sea. The last time he was seen was in the ice blade snowfield at the northernmost tip of Deliyat. It seemed that the wizard was going to go deep into the snowfield and explore the northernmost tip of the world.

Just as the southern end of the Mosang Continent is an endless wasteland, the northern ends of the Minsk Continent and Velen Continent are also endless ice fields.

There is endless ice and snow on this ice sheet, which does not melt all the year round. Because of the impact of the ice storm blowing on the ice sheet all year round, the surface of the ice sheet has formed a series of strange terrains like blades. From a distance, it looks like It's like a hell of ice skates.

Although ice fields and wastelands are regarded as two dead places by the world, they are fundamentally different.

Even if there are few people in the depths of the wilderness, there is an endless jungle, and there are a lot of animals living in the jungle. Even if all the living things there, including a small grass, want to eat the intruders, at least there is no lack of vitality. .
