The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Tell me! What do you want me to do for you?" Leo was led directly to the roof of a three-storey apartment. Kit, the owner of the blacksmith shop, sat on a chair, enjoying the rare sunshine in the red clay city. Playing with the badge Leo took out before, he didn't look at Leo, and asked very directly.

One of the five dark masters who ruled the Red Clay City in front of him, there is nothing special about his appearance, he is similar to the ordinary blacksmiths downstairs, the only difference may be that when he speaks, he naturally carries a hint of deterrence Power, this deterrent enough to cause a mental impact on the average ordinary person.

Leo was also not polite, and said his request directly, saying: "I want to go to the green emerald Lake Narnia, but now the entire green emerald has been blocked, it will be a little troublesome to break in, and it will Affects some of my plans, so I need to enter Green Emerald through normal channels."

After listening to Leo's request, Kit was silent for a while, and said: "This is not an easy matter, the Earl of West Green Jade was assassinated by an unknown assassin a few days ago, and he left a will, those who have the right to inherit. Only by avenging him can a person become the official West Green Emerald Earl. The first few successors have already identified the person who sent the assassin as Javier, the governor of the outpost castle of Rorohir, and they are now preparing for the outpost castle. The general attack, took Javier's head, and inherited the title of earl, so in order to avoid the spies of the Rorohirs from spying on the military situation, the entire West Green Emerald area is now blocked, and it is impossible to open to the outside world before the end of this war. "

"What about the other areas of Green Emerald?" Leo asked with a frown.

"Other areas? Aren't you going to Lake Narnia?" Kit asked with some puzzlement: "Lake Narnia was incorporated into West Green Emerald as early as half a year ago. If you enter Green Emerald from other areas , I still have to go to the territory controlled by West Green Jade." After speaking, he paused again and continued: "However, compared to the difficulty of entering West Green Jade from here, entering West Green Jade from the interior of other areas is more difficult. Green Jade will be much simpler, as long as it is not close to the front line, there should be no major problems."

Leo nodded and said: "Yes, although it is a long way to go, it is acceptable."

"In that case, what are you going to exchange for it?" Kit asked, looking at Leo.

Leo frowned and said, "When he handed me the badge, he didn't tell me, what price do I have to pay for asking you for help?"

Kit narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, according to normal circumstances, there is no need to pay any price, but now it is abnormal. If it is the person who comes in person, I will not say anything, just follow orders. Yes, but you? You are not qualified to let me do things for you for free."

Leo looked at the ordinary-looking blacksmith in front of him. Although the other party concealed it well, Leo could still see the strong ambition in his eyes.

Also, compared to a spy who is used as a chess piece and can be replaced at any time, as the ruler of one of the five dark masters of Red Clay City, he is definitely not willing to continue to obey orders honestly, perhaps Barbarisa The deterrent force brought to him in the past made him not dare to show the consciousness of resistance immediately, but in the face of Leo, an outsider, he could test a little and test the bottom line of his former master.

Seeing Kit like this, Leo couldn't help but cursed to himself. There is no doubt that when Barbarisa proposed to let Leo come to the dark master of the red city, he already knew that this once obedient subordinate had already Although he did not have any intentions, he suggested that he come here because of other thoughts, but I am afraid that he also has a little idea of ​​using him as a pathfinder.

Leo really wanted to laugh at the fact that he was involved in the open and secret struggle between Barbarisa and his subordinates. He had no intention of doing things according to other people's ideas, so when Kit waited for him to respond, He also gave the most direct answer.

I saw that he took a step forward, stretched out his finger and pressed it on the opponent's forehead, and passed a spiritual force with special psionic skills, directly imprinting a brand in the opponent's consciousness.

Leo's movements are fast, but not so fast that ordinary people can't see it, and in other higher apartments around this roof, there are a large number of Kit's men with weapons who are responsible for secretly protecting their leaders, and These people clearly saw Leo's movements, but none of them pulled the trigger of the crossbow arrow that was aimed at Leo, because when Leo came to the top of the building to meet Kit, these people were already perceived by Leo's mental network. Arrived, and pulled into the psionic seal he temporarily arranged. In their eyes, Leo did not attack their leader, but had a good conversation with their leader.

When Leo's fingers were removed from Kit's forehead, Kit did not show anger or other emotions, but still seemed very calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

Kit stood up from his chair and introduced to Leo: "Three days later, a smuggling caravan under my command will go to a castle on the China Green Emerald Border to conduct a weapons transaction with the defenders there. Your Excellency can act as the Triggered by a member of the caravan together, the road will pass through Dashu Town, which is emerald green in the west. You only need to leave the caravan in Dashu Town at that time. I will ask the people in Dashu Town to help you apply for a temporary identity. As long as you're not near the western border, you shouldn't be checked."

"Okay, this matter will trouble you." Leo nodded and said.

"No trouble, this is what I should do." Kit responded very sincerely.

Afterwards, Kit instructed his subordinates to take Leo to a hotel he controlled to rest, and also asked his subordinates to send a sensible guide to follow Leo. If Leo wanted to visit the Clay City, let the guide lead the tour , in order to avoid some ignorant guys in the red clay city appearing to disturb Leo's interest in visiting.

Leo did not reject Kit's good intentions. The imprint he had just engraved on Kit's spiritual consciousness would maximize Kit's loyalty to Barbarisa. To a certain extent, Kit at this moment. It is the moment when he is most loyal to Barbarisa. Unless Barbarisa makes him commit suicide for no reason, triggering his instinctual resistance and offsetting the effect of mental imprint, otherwise, his loyalty to Barbarisa will not be due to time. Or any other reason has changed.

Under the guidance of Kit's men, Leo came to a hotel two streets away from the blacksmith shop. This hotel is very ordinary. From the point of view of the people living here, it should be some people who have just arrived in Clay City and haven't been here yet. Outsiders with a firm foothold, and from the temperament of these outsiders, it is not difficult to see that most of them are outlaws.

Although there are rules in the hotel that do not allow fighting or fighting, these outsiders dare not put their lives on the fact that others will obey the rules, so they are fully armed, even if they are sitting, they will look around vigilantly, not at all. Not meant to relax.

When the director of the hotel saw that the person who led Leo in was Kit's competent subordinate, he immediately understood that Leo's identity was special, so he didn't ask any further questions, and directly led Leo to the garden behind the hotel and took him to the garden. housed in a garden villa.

Although the action of the hotel director was very careful and natural, it still attracted the attention of some people, but these people were not outsiders who temporarily lived in the hotel, but those from the various Red Clay City forces entrenched in the hotel. Sending staff, they originally planned to recruit new people from outsiders, but now they have seen some unusual things. Many people think this matter may have some value, so they sent people to inform their superiors immediately.

On the bright side, the blacksmith shop in Red Clay City is not the most powerful force, nor is it the deepest force. According to the strength of the power, the blacksmith shop can barely enter the first echelon of forces.

But anyone who knows Red Clay City is very clear that even if the blacksmith shop is not that powerful, it is definitely not easy to mess with. The people and forces who tried to overthrow this law in the past have now become the blacksmith shop. Therefore, even if the blacksmith shop shows that they will not interfere in the affairs of the red clay city, the various forces in the red clay city will still not relax their attention to the blacksmith shop, even the hotels only attached to the blacksmith shop. The focus of their surveillance.

Leo will attract the attention of these people, in addition to the diligent performance of the hotel director, it is more because the person who sent Leo over is one of Kit's most trusted subordinates, and this person's power is no worse than some middle powers How much, in the red earth city is also a big man who can control the situation, but such a big man personally sent an outsider to the hotel, and his words and deeds were also quite respectful, which made the people who witnessed it all have a strong feeling. Curious, curious about what Leo's identity is.

Naturally, it is impossible for these people to hide from Leo, and he doesn't care about it, because with Barbarisa's ability, I believe that he can easily erase the traces of his past, so that people in the red city can't find him. identity of.

But then again, even finding out his identity wouldn't be a big deal for Leo, nor would it affect his next itinerary.

Originally, Leo planned to take him in the hotel for a few days and leave when Kit's caravan was ready, so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble in a place where dragons and snakes were mixed like Clay City.

But many things did not go as he expected. The second day he stayed in the hotel, he received news that Kit was assassinated.

At the moment when Leo heard the news, the idea that popped into his mind was that Barbarisa thought that Kit had betrayed him, so he did it without hesitation, but the other news that followed, let Leo know that he There was a misunderstanding, and things were not as simple as he thought, because Kit was not the only one who was assassinated, but there were also more than a dozen leaders of the first echelon forces in the Red Clay City. It can be said that the top of the Clay City overnight The forces have become leaderless.

However, the inside of the Red Clay City did not fall into chaos. Instead, it became extraordinarily quiet. Not even the dark master came out to issue martial law. The movement of outsiders was also restricted, and even some famous outlaws were warned.

It's not that the small and medium-sized forces in the red earth city have no ambitions and do not want to replace the big forces on their heads, but because at this moment, those big forces have been stabbed in the eyes of the leaders, and they have united tacitly. At this time, people and forces who come out to do things will receive thunderous blows, and they are the kind that never die.

Not to mention other major forces, after the blacksmith shop experienced the small chaos after Kit's assassination, several leaders of Kit's subordinates soon united to stabilize the situation of the blacksmith shop, and they were very smart not to fight for power at this time. , to fight for a leader, but temporarily give up the leader's position, choose the method of joint power, and decide various affairs in the blacksmith shop through discussion.

Among these urgent matters being discussed, finding the murderer is naturally the most important thing, but this time the assassination of all the major power leaders in Red Earth City was a perfect assassination. The assassination process was silent, even if it was sleeping at the time No one around the person who was assassinated noticed anything unusual, and there were no traces, so it was almost impossible to find out who the murderer was.

Although everyone knows that it is impossible to find the murderer, the investigation still needs to be dressed up, and Leo, an outsider who has seen Kitt, is naturally the focus of the investigation. After all, he was met by Kitt himself. the last outsider.

The people sent by the blacksmith shop came to the hotel, found Leo, inquired about related things, and after the inquiries, they asked again: "Can you tell me again, the purpose of your coming to see our leader? "

Leo did not appear to be offended, but UU read the book www.uukanshu.com and repeated his previous answer calmly, saying: "I need him to arrange an identity that can pass unhindered in the West Green Emerald area, He also promised to arrange for me to follow a caravan going to the Middle Green Emerald area in a few days. After arriving at Dashu Town of West Green Emerald, contact your supervisor there and let the supervisor there solve it for me. identity issues."

"Can you tell me, who introduced your Excellency?" The man then asked a question that he hadn't asked before.

"You're sure you want to know," Leo looked at the other party and said, "If your identity is not enough, it would be better to know less about some things, otherwise, you will lose your life in vain."

The man was silent for a while and said, "But how do I know what your Excellency said is true?"

"I think Kit should have arranged my affairs immediately after I left. These thoughts also left records. You only need to check those records." Leo reminded the other party, and then became very serious. The warning said: "Although Kit's death will affect some of your things, what I need to remind you is that no matter what the reason is, you'd better not delay my affairs, especially the things that have been promised, understand?"

The man immediately lowered his head and responded, "Understood, I will notify you when the caravan is arranged."
