Not many people believe his words, because if there really was such a big accident, it would have been published in the newspapers, but in the past, newspapers published similar news, so the vast majority of people thought he was just talking drunk.

However, there are others who seem to have heard similar rumors and think that what he said may be true, but are skeptical that what he said is that some combination of parts can produce far more power than the limit, and that it is just an interface that the repairman has found for his own failure.

The craftsman's words only caused a small wave in the noisy tavern, which was buried by other topics, and the people in the tavern liked to talk about the monsters that suddenly appeared in the world compared to the train accident.

However, after hearing what the maintenance craftsman said, Leo couldn't help but think of the town on the lake, because the energy efficiency of the steam machinery in the town of Lake far exceeded the energy efficiency produced by the same steam machine in the world of Vinon, and this kind of transcendence was not a little bit, but several times or even ten times surpassing.

Leo had this association not only because of the mechanic's experience, but also because of the rumors he had heard about the ordinary army's ability to deal with out-of-control clans.

It is not correct to say that it is a rumor, because many people in the tavern have seen the government army use steam crossbows to kill all kinds of giant monsters with indescribable shapes and large bodies like houses, according to their descriptions, those steam engine crossbows assembled by individual soldiers are incredibly powerful, and they can easily shoot through the body of monsters, and others feel that it is not a steam engine crossbow, but a steam machine gun on a battleship.

Although the strength of the clan will show a huge gap due to the different prerequisites such as bloodline, because of the degree of divine power infection, etc., even the weakest clan is much more than ordinary humans in terms of physical self-healing, strength and speed, and combat instinct, etc., and although the out-of-control clan has lost their minds, they have lived several times, or even more than ten times the strength of the increase, according to reason, this is no longer something that ordinary people's weapons can deal with.

But the current situation is that ordinary people can solve the runaway family with just the weapon of the steam engine crossbow, so if it is not that the current source of power of the runaway family is far less than that of those out of control in the past, then it can only be that the power of the steam engine crossbow has increased more than a little.

This makes Leo think that as the world begins to change and the gods gradually return, the steam machinery that appears after the gods disappear may also change, becoming like Lake Town, and the same machinery can produce extraordinary energy efficiency.

Thinking of this, Leo had no intention of staying in the tavern, so he left the tavern, asked the locals, and went to a small workshop outside the town that sold mechanical parts.

Because there weren't many machines in Barreltown, the small workshop sold a small variety of parts, but they were enough for Leo, and after spending some money and buying dozens of parts, he returned to the camp outside the town with a large bag, back to his packer tent.

Before dark, Leo was inside the tent, assembling a rudimentary clockwork figure from the mechanical parts he had on hand and some wood.

This puppet is not assembled according to the mechanical principles of the current Velen world, but according to the mechanical principles of the town on the lake.

There are many kinds of mechanical manufacturing methods in Hushang Town, but there is only one fundamental principle, that is, the more complex the machine, the more gears, springs, bearings and other parts, the greater the energy efficiency generated, as if the power generated by these parts will continue to accumulate with the increase of quantity.

While this sounds simple, it is very complex in practice, because as more parts are added, each time a new part is added, the entire mechanical design needs to be fundamentally aligned, and because the energy efficiency produced by the parts is different, maintaining the balance of mechanical energy efficiency becomes a fatal problem. If there is no balance in the energy efficiency of the parts, then there will be rejection between the parts, which will eventually cause the entire machine to disintegrate on its own, or even cause a burst.

Leo's mechanical puppet could have been assembled with only seven parts at most, but he redesigned the mechanical structure and eventually assembled the puppet with forty-seven parts.

As it got dark and a bonfire lit inside the camp, Leo left the camp alone with the half-man tall doll, and made a quick walk to a desolate gravel beach five or six miles away.

He carefully checked the surroundings with the spirit net, and after finding that there were no other people and anomalies, he put the puppet in his hand on the ground, and then twisted the wooden hair strip behind him.

Although it is called a puppet, it is actually a headless beast shape, which is on all fours, when Leo tightens the clockwork, and then puts the beast-shaped puppet on the ground, the limbs of the puppet swing at great speed according to the operation of the machine, and the body driven forward to rush out, so fast that the naked eye can only see an illusory shadow.

Because there is no control device, the puppet can only rush forward, even if there is a boulder in front of it, it does not avoid it, and directly mounts it, and the body made of wood is immediately packed into pieces, and the mechanical parts composed of the body are also scattered under the impact of the external and internal forces, and most of the parts are even damaged by this force.

However, the huge rock was also damaged, and the huge force directly knocked the boulder forward and rolled more than ten meters before stopping, and the impact place had been shattered into a crater, which shows how great the force of the puppet's impact just now was.

Although hours of elaborate work were ruined, Leo didn't care, because the puppet had already completed its mission, and Leo was sure that the mutation had caused the steam machinery of the world of Veron to transform towards Lake Town.

According to the current trend of change, I believe that it will not be long before the world of Velun will be able to create a giant mechanical device similar to the mechanical fortress in Lake Town, with these powerful mechanical devices, even if you encounter those evil forces of the out-of-control clan and the underground world, you will also have the power to fight, of course, this is only limited to pure power, not the evil existence on the mysterious side.

However, this matter is not a happy thing in Leo's opinion, because since even the laws of steam machinery have begun to change in the direction of Lake Town, will the dense fog around Lake Town appear?

Or that a dense fog has appeared, such as a dense fog on the ocean, but it has not yet spread to the land.

Thinking of this, Leo's mood became a little heavy.

Leo didn't pick up the parts and puppet fragments scattered on the ground, and turned around and left the rocky beach and returned to the camp.

The caravan climbed over the snow-capped mountains in the rain, snow and wind, and saw the shocking scene on the top of the snowy mountain, both mentally and physically exhausted, and after dinner, they rested early, and only a few guards were on duty at night.

Compared to the quietness of the camp, the town of Barrel after dark is very lively, and the people who come here to take refuge almost all the belongings of their families have brought them with them, but there are very few places where they can spend money here, and the tavern can be said to be the only place where they can spend money, so those who flee will soak in the tavern as soon as they have time, not only to pass the time, but also to borrow alcohol, and temporarily forget the troubles of the outside.

It's just that these people who drink in the tavern don't know that they have been targeted, and they are not human, to be precise.

"Don't you do it yet? I can't help it!" asked in a low, hoarse voice in a low, hoarse voice from the three of the three strangers who had wrapped themselves tightly, bowing his head slightly.

"Shut up, if you hadn't held back, would we have escaped here?" The thinnest man next to him glared coldly at his companion, gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to talk such nonsense next time, I will eat you, lest you idiot cause any more trouble." ”

Although this man was the smallest and looked the weakest, he seemed to have great deterrent power, and after saying this threatening word, not only the tall and thin man immediately closed his mouth, but even the other thin man next to him who did not open his mouth also sat upright.

In fact, although the thin man was teaching his companions a lesson, his heart was not coveting the drunken refugees and locals in the tavern.

Compared with his two companions, he awakened earlier, and he also came into contact with the situation in the underground world, knew the identity of his clan, and knew a little about the various situations of the clan, such as how the clan used to improve his power, such as what enemies the clan had, and so on.

In the same way, he also knew very well that once the family tasted human flesh, they could no longer get rid of the craving for human flesh.

For a long time, he has been hiding himself, restraining himself, and allowing himself to live like an ordinary person.

But that night, his body suddenly had a high temperature, he was powerless to resist, and fainted instantly, when he woke up from the coma, it was already the early morning of the next day, and he was lying on the ground in rags on the outskirts, surrounded by broken corpses, these corpses still left a lot of gnawing marks, and he had a thick bloody smell in the innermost part.

With little effort as he saw the severed limbs around him, he barely struggled to recall what had happened after he had fallen unconscious, how he had turned into a monster, how he had slaughtered the people in his village, and finally how he had eaten those he had killed.

Originally, he thought that he would feel disgusting when he recalled the experience of cannibalism, but in fact he felt hunger and the deliciousness of human flesh, so when the hunger pang reached its peak, he picked up the stumps around him again and nibbled on them.

After a hearty meal, he immediately left the outskirts and walked north along the road, knowing that it would not be long before the Church, the Night's Watch, the Bounty Hunters, and other organizations dedicated to hunting the clan would appear, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to defeat these bounty hunters who hunted and killed the clan all year round, and he would probably eventually become the spoils of war for the bounty hunters in exchange for profit.

On the way to escape, he soon met two more dependents, who were being chased by the pursuing army, and he rescued them.

This was not because he was kind, but because if he encountered an irresistible danger, he could use the two clansmen as bait to block the enemy and escape on his own.

It's just that he didn't expect that these two guys who were saved by him were two big troubles, these two dependents actually ate a very prestigious general of the royal government army when they were out of control, and they would be hunted down by special troops sent by the royal government army.

Now he has become a wanted person because he saved these two guys.

After that, the three of them fled all the way, originally escaping smoothly, relying on their own abilities to avoid the pursuing army, but because one of the family members could not resist the urge to eat people, they exposed their whereabouts, and finally escaped to the border town of Barrel Town after a lot of hardships.

So when he thought of the suffering he experienced after saving these two dependents, this skinny family couldn't help the anger in his heart.

"Chief, in fact, we are here now, and when we go over the Quincy Snow Mountain at dawn tomorrow, we will go to the Kingdom of Savile, and the wolf dogs following behind don't have to worry at all. The fat family member sitting next to him muttered carefully.

The thin little clan was silent for a moment and shook his head, and said: "I always feel a little dangerous, don't do anything today, go back to rest, and leave immediately when it is dawn tomorrow." ”

After making a decision, the thin little family didn't say anything more, suppressed the strong desire for human flesh in his heart, stood up, and walked out of the tavern.

The other two dependents looked at the skinny family member with great dissatisfaction, and their eyes were full of malice, but in the end, they still suppressed the malice towards the skinny family, stood up one after another, and looked at the people in the tavern reluctantly, and then glanced at each other, as if they exchanged some information, and then nodded slightly, and walked out of the tavern quickly.

Not long after the three dependents left the tavern, the two night watchmen sitting upstairs also stood up and followed.

The two night watchmen were very good at tailgating, and the three clansmen in front of them didn't even notice that someone was following them, and went straight back to the inn room they had booked.

The two night watchmen did not follow, but each held a diagonal position in the inn, both of them able to see the area around the inn, and it was impossible for anyone to escape their surveillance as long as anyone came out.

As time passed, it was late at night, and the people in the tavern were all drunk, and then left the tavern one after another, most of them towards the newly built residential area on the edge of the town, and at that moment, two dark shadows climbed over the walls of the hotel, and quickly walked along the dark shadows of the walls towards the new housing area with the most refugees.
