Chapter 360: Cambeth City
Originally just a small town about the size of Gondoguna, Cambeth didn't change dramatically until twenty years ago. And the reason for all this is simply the discovery of a large conductive mine near Cambeth.
Unlike the conduction technology, the conduction ore is only used as a resource, and it is not forbidden to buy and sell in the federal territory, of course, only large consortia with a fairly deep background are eligible to take a piece of the pie.
Although the federal decree does not explicitly stipulate that only certain people are allowed to buy and sell the conduction mine, the reality is that for ordinary people, even if the conduction mine is under their own home, it is impossible to protect it.
However, not being able to get a piece of the cake does not mean that there are no benefits, after all, the mining and transportation of the diversion mine requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which brings a lot of job opportunities to local residents, and at the same time drives the development of other industries.
More than a week later, Leach and his party finally arrived in Cambeth City.
At the first glance of this big city, Leach felt a little nondescript.
Probably accustomed to the picturesque beauty of Ambrera's streets, Cambeth gave him the impression that a poor man had suddenly been given a large sum of money, and only knew how to pick up the most expensive things to buy, and the roads were lined with crystal clear cobblestones, and all the houses were painted with bright wall paint, and the temperament of the nouveau riche was revealed.
However, to Leach's relief, they were not subjected to a particularly strict interrogation when they entered the city, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
It has to be said that even if the decoration is too ornate, a big city is a big city, and even a border trading town like Kelmos is not as prosperous as here.
Large shops can be found everywhere, and many caravans ply the streets, and although the roads are wide, the streets are still crowded with people.
As the only man in the team, Leach had to act as a pioneer, doing everything in his power to prevent the four girls behind him from being taken advantage of.
No, it should be just Lena and Ti Xinlier. Saya wrapped her entire body tightly in light armor, and even if someone stretched out her groping hand to her, she could only touch the cold armor. As for Tali, let's not talk about whether anyone treats her well, just the big steel ball she carries in her hand is enough to discourage people, and I believe that no one who is not open-minded will provoke her.
However, this saved Leach a lot of effort.
Just as everyone was admiring the "beautiful scenery" on the side of the street and moving forward, Leach, who was at the forefront, suddenly collided with a little boy wearing a peaked cap.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" the little boy apologized again and again, probably because he was still too young, and his voice was very crisp.
Although his ribs hurt because he was unprepared, Leach was too embarrassed to pull down his face to compare with a child, so he could only say that it was okay and admonish him to pay more attention to his walking.
"I'm really sorry, I made an agreement with my mother to go on an outing outside the city today, but I didn't expect to forget the time because I was so crazy at a friend's house, and now I'm already a few hours late, so I'm desperately rushing home. I'm really sorry to bump into you!"
Leach didn't get angry, and the other party looked really anxious, and after a few words of advice, he let him go.
Seeing the little boy disappear into the crowd, Leach habitually touched the pocket on his waist, and his face suddenly changed.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Lena looked puzzled.
Leach didn't answer immediately, but immediately rummaged through his pocket, and then said anxiously: "That package is gone!"
"Package?" Lena didn't react at first, but then suddenly said, "I see, is that the one?"
The package that the two of them were talking about was the purchase and sale transaction voucher that Michelle handed over to them.
Generally speaking, all expenses when going out on adventures are kept by Lena, after all, with her sensitivity to money, as long as she is alive, the money will not be lost. As for the rest of the things, they were all taken by Leach, because Lena's confused personality had already caused Leach to suffer more than one loss, and he really didn't feel comfortable letting her keep something as important.
Since the transaction voucher in his hand is the only thing that can still be related to that mysterious organization now, and it is also the only clue to track down Leach and Lena's parents, Leach is naturally careful and careful, and after a short while, he will touch the thing with his hand and still be there, afraid that he will accidentally lose it.
But people are not as good as heaven, and in the end, the package is still gone.
"It must be that little imp just now!" said Leach, gritting his teeth, "I'll just say that there are so many people on the street who are still running like he is being reincarnated, and he is definitely going to hit me, which is definitely funny." Don't let me catch him, or I'll make him look good!"
After making a ruthless call, the group hurriedly chased in the direction where the little boy disappeared just now.
However, with so many people on the road, and Leach who was new to the city, he didn't know the route here, so naturally he didn't even see the shadow of the little boy.
"What to do?" the group came into an alley, and Leach tugged at his hair in distress.
Obviously there is a perfect opportunity to track down the news of his parents, and he is about to find out the key point, but at this juncture, the most important evidence is lost, and the annoyance in Leach's heart can be imagined.
"Don't be frustrated, I think we still have a chance to get things back. Unlike Leach's mourning, Saya is still optimistic.
Hearing this, Leach immediately looked up at Saya, his eyes full of inquiry.
"Actually, Leach, you walked into a misunderstanding, thinking that something was stolen by someone else and it was gone, but don't forget, if you don't take that transaction voucher to cash, it is no different from a piece of waste paper, so as long as we go to squat near the City Lord's Mansion, there should be a high chance that we can find him. As for whether he recognized it as a transaction certificate, I think even if he didn't know it, his elders would definitely know it, after all, he should be a resident of Cambeth, and if he lives here, he can't even know this bit of common sense, right?"
Leach woke up like a dream and said in surprise: "Yes, let's go, don't be preempted by him!"
After saying that, he rushed out first.
