The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Because of the road alone, Leo's pace was much faster, and it took less than an hour to reach the outskirts of Ethiopia.

This place is completely different from the Gujia Desert and the Viman Desert, which are tens of kilometers away. Here, you can see the greenery. The jungle and the wheat fields are lined up along the two sides of the Savile Grand Canyon, extending to the distance, and there is no end.

Although Leo has seen information about Savile Grand Canyon from the trees, most of the information is vaguely written. The main content is nothing more than that Savile Grand Canyon is the largest canyon in the Kingdom of Savile. It faces the east coast and connects the Guzman Snow Mountain to the west. After the snow on the snow mountain melts, it gathers into the Grand Canyon and forms the Savile River, the most important river in the Kingdom of Savile.

Because of the abundant water resources of the Savile River, both sides of the Savile Canyon have been one of the most important grain production areas of the Savile Kingdom since ancient times. At the time, the Savile Kingdom built the Kingdom Avenue and the railway here by the local tribes because of concerns. There is not much cultivated land destroyed here.

Finally, after repeated discussions, Kingdom Avenue was moved to the side of the Wiman Desert, ten kilometers away from Savile Canyon, which is considered to be on the edge of the desert, without causing any damage to the cultivated land.

As for the Kingdom Railway that runs through both ends of Savile, it is even more whimsical. It is directly erected on the canyon through a special steel frame structure. This railway has also become the world's top ten machinery recognized by the Velon world because of its peculiar structure. The head of an industrial miracle.

However, the position of this head was broken by the Miracle Star ocean liner not long ago, giving up the position of this head, but with the silence of the Miracle Star, this position is back on the Savile Canyon Kingdom Railway. To make some Saviles with strong self-esteem fluctuate.

Leo’s position at the moment is difficult to see clearly according to the sight of normal people. This railway, called the wonder of the world, but through the blessing of extraordinary vision, the railway over the canyon was completely presented in front of him.

I saw that in the straight canyon, a steel frame like a human rib was placed above the canyon, the train track was on the steel bone in the middle, and the heavy train drove on the steel rail, and the huge force was below Each steel bar was scattered and endured, and finally all were scattered to the stone walls on both sides of the canyon.

The engineer who was responsible for the design of this railway chose the method of erection of the track that seemed so dangerous, except that the surrounding areas suitable for laying the railway were all farmland, and these farmlands were the lifeblood of the surrounding tribes, unless it was a fight. A civil war will solve all these tribes, otherwise it is impossible to destroy the farmland and build a railway.

There is another reason, also because there are deserts on both sides of the canyon, and they are moving and unstressed floating sand. Building railways on these floating sands will easily lead to safety problems such as track movement, which will eventually lead to train accidents. Frequently.

In addition, the most important thing for this railway laying plan is whether the stone walls at both ends of the canyon can bear the weight brought by the steel skeleton and the steam train. For this, Savile engineers have repeatedly tested and believe that the rocks on both sides of Savile Canyon are hard Even more than steel, it can withstand huge pressure.

In fact, Savile’s engineers basically did not need much measurement to be sure of the hardness of the rocks at both ends of the canyon, because almost all the stone used in the mausoleum of the king of Savile was collected from the rocks on both sides of the canyon. It was famous for its hardness a long time ago. Palaces in other countries also used Savill Canyon Rock as the first choice of construction materials. For a long time, Canyon Rock was an important export commodity of Savill. It was not until recent decades that mining was gradually stopped. .

Although a lone foreigner such as Leo drew the attention of Saviles who were drying goods in the farmland, they only took a look at Leo and did their own thing.

Because there are too many foreign explorers or travelers in the desert like Leo. Although they are alone and have no strange outfits, they have not been similar in the past, so they will not cause these Saviles. Too much attention.

Leo asked an old Savile, who was resting on the edge of the farmland, to know the direction of Ethiopia, and he boarded a carriage that was about to enter the city for delivery and drove in the direction of Ethiopia.

After driving for about ten minutes, the carriage drove through a forest and then climbed a hillside. After reaching the top, the people on the carriage could see the whole picture of Ethiopia.

I saw that the city of Ethiopia was built in an S-shaped turn in the canyon. The atmosphere of the entire town is two parts, north and south. The south city is the city on the side of the Guga Desert, because most of the people living here are ordinary Savile farmers. As well as a small number of adventurers who want to explore the mysteries of the Gujia Desert, the buildings here are dominated by ordinary people’s houses and small hotels for hospitality, which seems far from the prosperity of the North District.

Leo was slightly troubled by the guards of the city gate when he entered the city. Obviously, in these eyes, foreigners must be much richer than the locals, so the entrance fee is also more than the local Saviles. Double.

In this regard, Leo did not care, and paid directly into the city, but the few city guards saw other coins in Leo's wallet, and seemed to have other thoughts. When Leo left, he sent a local The ground ruff followed in secret and seemed to want to figure out Leo's footing.

Those ruffians are just ordinary people, and they are not good at tracking such things. Even if there is no spiritual network, Leo can easily find these trackers.

Almost without too much speculation, Leo has already confirmed that these land rufflings may be related to getting some city guards at the city gate. He ignored this and walked to a small hotel on the main road.

"Welcome to you, do you want to stay in the store?" A young girl from Savile, younger than Ilya, greeted and asked.

Leo said: "Yes, prepare a single room for me and stay for three days."

Under the guidance of the girl, he checked in at the counter and led him to his room.

This hotel, like most hotels in the city, was converted from ordinary houses. The rooms are a little small, but because of the moisture generated when the Savile River flows at the bottom of the canyon, a cool river wind blows across the canyon. Even though Ethiopia is so close to the desert, the temperature is not hot.

After taking a short break in the room, Leo came to the front desk to ask what was worth visiting in Ethiopia.

Leo’s question is obviously not new, and Ethiopia has a long-term countermeasure. When the Leo’s question was not finished, the front desk took out a travel guide written in French and handed it to Leo .

After taking the tour guide, Leo flipped over a little, and quickly found a gulf market at the bottom of a gorge where he was interested.

Since more than 90% of the water in the Savile River comes from the snow in the snow mountains, when the winter is about to come, the snow water will decrease, and the river water will also decrease. The channel at the bottom of the canyon will naturally become narrow, and some will be washed by the river. The river bed, which was flat like a mirror, was exposed.

In the early days, the smugglers of Savile would borrow the special location of the Savile River and the environment on both sides of the river. For the purpose of smuggling, the River Market was originally only a pier used by the local gangs in Ethiopia to trade smuggled goods.

However, with the tough remediation of smugglers in the Kingdom of Savile, and the united church's annihilation of gangsters in various cities, the Hewan Market has become deserted because of the prosperity of gangs and smugglers.

Later, some tomb robbers came here to sell their stolen goods. This gulf market became active again, and with the excavation of various desert monuments, various ancient artifacts appeared in the folk, a large number of foreign tourists and adventures People come here to buy these items, and this kind of river market also recovers through this antique wind.

Although there are still some illegal underground transactions in the river market, the managers in various towns are not as strict as in the past. As long as the river market pays enough taxes and does not cause any trouble, they will acquiesce. This market has existed, and over time, Hewan Market has become one of the distinctive tourist attractions of Kingdom Avenue 37.

Although it has not yet reached the winter when the river is at its least, but as the weather gets colder, the river water gradually decreases, and some of the river markets at the bottom of the canyon have emerged from the water. A dozen days ago, they have hoarded a lot Tomb robbers and antique dealers of the goods can't wait to open the Hewan market.

Just like the situation when opening the market, some big antique dealers quickly made more than a dozen large transactions, and those goods had not yet been placed on the market, and 70% or 80% of them were bought by their transactions. However, if it is not to maintain the prosperity of the market, some tourists and explorers can buy something, maybe the remaining ones will also be traded away.

It's just that although the market manager intercepts a large part of the antiques and lets these antique sellers put them on the market, this does not mean that all the antiques in this market are true. In fact, there are a large number of fake antiques. Mixed into the market, if there is no certain level of recognition, I am afraid that it is difficult to buy real ancient civilization and antiquities from the market.

It's also quite interesting to say. I don't know whether it is because of this river market, or because of the main church of all things, the Kingdom of Savile is the only kingdom without a black market.

However, although there is no black market, some transactions of mysterious items still exist, and the Hewan Market is the trading place for such items, but these transactions are often disguised as antique transactions, so there will be some ordinary people unexpectedly and some secret People in the world have completed some transactions and obtained some mysterious items with special powers, some of which are good and bad, and have caused some rumors, making the Hewan market more mysterious and indirectly attracting many tourists.

In this travel guide Leo looked at, he wrote several anecdotes about the river market, and one of them involved a mysterious object that ordinary people should not touch.

Leo asked the front desk for the details of Ho Wan Market, and was about to leave the hotel.

"Wait, guests." It was just the hotel owner who stopped Leo and took out some weapons like scimitars and daggers from under the counter and said, "It's dangerous for you to walk outside alone. I think you should need a little weapon Self-defense, even if it is not worn on the body, will also reduce a lot of trouble."

"Is the security here so bad?" Leo asked with a smile.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the security is really bad." The hotel owner smiled bitterly and said: "The original security team in the city has been transferred away. Now the gangs in the city are responsible for the security of the city. As for the gang's work... …I believe you know it well, so you'd better take a little something to defend yourself, or just go directly to the city gate and hire a tour guide. Although it will take a lot of time, the tour guide will at least make you stay safe here. "

"I understand, thank you for reminding." Leo responded, saying that the waistless king and queen said, "I think this thing should be more reliable than those weapons."

Seeing Leo’s gorgeous firearms around his waist, the hotel owner withdrew his weapons under the counter without saying much.

Leo left the hotel and walked towards Hewan Market.

Not far from him, the little **** were still tracking in a very striking way, and Leo ignored them and went directly to the stairs leading to the River Market.

This staircase is very steep, built directly along the stone walls of the canyon cliff, using the steel left over from the construction of the railway support, which is very strong, the only flaw is that only one person can walk, so the market manager built two On the stairs, one goes down and the other goes up.

As we all know~www.readwn.com~ The most suitable time to visit the Hewan market is late at night, because the sellers in the market replenish new goods late at night. At this time, there are more opportunities to find valuable antiques.

The time Leo chose is not very good. In the evening, only the goods left by the day and last night were left on the market. Without special eyesight, it is easy to buy fakes.

However, for those ordinary tourists, this time is a good time to visit the Hewan market, because there are few people in the market now, and it will not appear crowded. Walking in the market is like a walk, it is very leisurely, and if you watch If you hit something in the booth, you can also have more time to judge the authenticity of the thing seriously, and you will not be rushed to cause misjudgment by the merchants because there are too many people to see.

Although it is not the peak season for the tourism of the Kingdom of Savile, there are still many tourists coming to the Kingdom of Savile. Leo has seen hundreds of tourists from various countries in the world of Velon in the market, going back and forth in the aisle among the stalls. As I walked, I saw something that I liked and immediately squatted in front of a stall, bargaining with the boss.

Leo also entered the market, walking slowly, looking at the antiquities on both sides. In fact, the moment his spirit net entered the market, it had covered the entire market, touching the items on those stalls. It must be clear.
