Chapter 662: Take the sheep by the hand
In the face of the siege of these puppets, Leo had no intention of confronting each other at all, and retreated directly to the corridor of the first-class carriage at great speed, and at the same time, the king and queen were pulled out by him, and he didn't even look at them, and opened extremely strong at the puppets and the old puppeteer respectively.
Several bursting bullets flew out of the king's muzzle, hitting the puppets right in the middle of the shot, and the powerful explosion instantly shredded these puppets, and even the puppets that were not hit were directly shattered by the direct shock wave because of the re-explosion range.
At the same time, the queen's extremely fast bullet hit the forehead of the old puppeteer who was performing the next trick with great accuracy, easily pierced, and when it flew out of the back of the head, the huge force burst open a big hole, and the body also fell heavily to the ground.
After confirming the death of his target, Leo took the King and Queen back to the restaurant, which had become a mess, and the people in the restaurant were all frightened by the battle just now, and their eyes were full of fear when they saw Leo.
Leo ignored the gazes of the people around him, he walked over to the pile of fragments of the corpse of the poor man's party, bent down and picked up the box containing the bird's egg, did not open it, cleaned the blood from it through psionic energy, put it in his pocket, and then walked up to the old puppeteer, crouched down and examined the puppeteer's things, and after taking away everything he thought was valuable, he turned and opened the door to the locomotive behind him, and came outside.
Although the commotion in the restaurant car was very large, it was obviously very ordinary compared to the chaotic fighting scene outside, and I don't know if the poor man party was extremely confident in those few internal officials, they did not send people to attack the first-class carriage at all, the vast majority of people were concentrated in the freight carriage behind, and the remaining part was re-entered into the ordinary carriage.
So when Dang Leo walked out of the dining car, none of the poor people found him, and Leo didn't think much about it, after sweeping around the spiritual net, he walked towards the hill on the south side, and under the noses of this group of poor people, he climbed over the small hill and came to the other side.
I saw that not far ahead, dozens of six-legged sand beasts were standing scattered in a clearing, and a young man who was supposed to be a poor man was sitting on a rock, boredly playing with the weeds on the ground, it seemed that he had been left by his companions to guard his mount and get rid of the beast.
Leo strode over and soon came to the back of the young man.
The young man did not hear Leo's footsteps, but he saw the shadow of the sun, and he thought that his companion was coming, so he got up from the ground and muttered his displeasure, and was about to turn his head to see who was coming behind him.
It's just that when his head just turned around, and before he could see who the person behind him was, a huge fist flew from one side and hit him on the head, knocking him unconscious.
After finishing the caretaker, Leo picked one of the strongest sand beasts, put the saddle on the ground back on the back of the sand beast, and after placing the saddle, he found another rope and tied the reins of the rest of the sand beasts together, and then sat on the sand beast he had selected, led the remaining dozens of sand beasts, and walked along the Kingdom Road towards the next city.
Although he was leading dozens of sand beasts, Leo easily affected the behavior of those sand beasts through the spirit network, so the speed of travel was also very fast, and it only took about half a day to come to the next canyon city where the train was supposed to arrive.
The city is called Bangakana, a purely commercial city, because it is the most important commercial hub in the western part of the Savile Kingdom, and the canyon railway that runs through it is needless to say, and the Kingdom Road is terminated here, and the next road is divided into four different western cities, which are connected to other major cities in the west, and eventually run through the entire western city, so it has become the center of economic exchanges between the east and the west.
Animal husbandry is one of the most important pillar industries in the western part of the Savile Kingdom, and Bangakana is also the center of the trade of livestock and pack animals.
However, when these traders saw the imprints on these sand beasts, their originally enthusiastic trading attitude immediately cooled down, and they scattered away without saying anything, feeling that Leo had instantly changed from a fragrant dumpling to a plague.
It didn't take much thought for Leo to know that these people must have recognized the sand beasts as belonging to the Poor Men's Party, and they were afraid that they would offend the Poor Men's Party, so they had to abandon the deal.
Leo didn't care too much about this, he didn't necessarily need to sell these sand beasts to make money, if no one wanted to buy them when he got to the city gate, he would untie the reins of these sand beasts and let them go.
However, since there are people who are afraid of the Poor Men Party, and naturally there are people who hate the Poor Men Party, and just half the distance away from this temporary livestock trading point led by Leo led the sand beasts, a richly dressed merchant expressed his willingness to buy the sand beasts at a price one percent higher than the market price.
Obviously, this businessman or the master behind him must have a deep contradiction and even hatred with the Poor Man Party, and if they can encounter an opportunity to humiliate the Poor Man Party, they will naturally not let it go, let alone increase the price by one percent, even if it is two or three layers, I am afraid they will be willing.
Naturally, Leo was happy to see this, and did not raise the price again, so he directly sold the sand beast to the merchant and obtained a sum of money.
Leo didn't deliberately cause trouble for the Poor Men by taking away the sand beasts of the Poor Guys, because if he went to the black market and participated in the auctions there, then he would really need money.
With the dense fog on the sea, ships can not sail on the sea, and the connection between several continents has basically been broken, and now it is just now, the adverse reaction of the broken connection between the continents has not yet been revealed, and everyone still thinks that the dense fog is only temporary, and the continents will be reconnected.
But once they find that they can't get in touch for a short time, then many things that are considered common sense will also change, such as the banks opened by the Kingdom of England in various countries.
According to the previous practice, the cash check of the National Bank of the Kingdom of England can basically be said to be the common currency of the world, and it can be used as cash in any country, but when the connection between the Kingdom of England and other continents is severed, the Bank of the Kingdom of England will inevitably go bankrupt, and the cash check of the National Bank of the Kingdom of England will become waste paper.
But Leo only has cash checks on him except for a small amount of change, and now that cash checks are waste paper, Leo can only find other ways to get money, so it is most convenient for him to make a non-capital transaction.
After selling dozens of sand beasts in good condition, Leo instantly had plenty of money on hand.
If nothing else, just for the cost of living, then this money will allow Leo to live like a true nobleman for a long time.
But if Leo wants to participate in the black market auction, then such a small amount of money is obviously not enough.
So what the old puppeteer left behind became the second fund he was looking forward to.
I have to say that the old puppeteer died a little unjustly, and his energy fluctuations are consistent with Sylvia's, and he must still have some powerful means that he hasn't used.
It's a pity that he did two wrong things at the beginning of the fight, the first thing was that according to his own habits, he just tested Leo's strength at the beginning, and didn't go all out, as for the second thing, even if he knew the danger level marked by Leo in the black market, he still underestimated Leo, and these two wrong things caused him to die in Leo's hands without using any powerful means, and all the things on his body were equivalent to giving Leo for nothing.
Leo didn't find much from the old puppeteer, except for a few items that Leo could sense energy fluctuations and should be some kind of strange thing, there was only a special metal card with divine inscriptions engraved on the surface.
Leo recognizes the metal card, which is the key to the storage box specially prepared by the Church of the Lord of Life and Death for the transcendental, and judging by the markings on the key, this storage box is in Bangakana.
The old puppeteer stored all his precious belongings in Bangakana, not because he expected in advance that the poor people would block the train on the way to Bangakana, but because Bangakaana is one of the transportation hubs in the west, from where every city in the west can be reached in the quickest and most comfortable way.
If the old puppeteer succeeds in getting what he wants, then he must have offended two forces, one is naturally his employer, and the other is the poor party all over Savile, so he must leave Savile in the shortest possible time, and Bangakana is the most suitable starting point for his escape.
Therefore, no matter where the Poor Man's interception takes place in the end, the old puppeteer will inevitably return to Bangakana, and he will naturally keep the important things here for easy access.
After Leo entered Bangakana, he walked directly towards the church of the Lord of Life and Death, the location of the church is very recognizable, the tallest building in the whole city is the church, as long as you stand a little higher, you can see the extremely eye-catching white roof of the Church of the Lord of Life and Death.
Benghakana is very prosperous in commercial activity, with a large number of businesses coming and going, and the road is usually a headache for the Benkkakana rulers, although they have spent large sums of money on several times to widen the roads in the city, but they still cannot meet the demand, and walking on the road is still the only feeling.
In this crowded state, Leo had to use a few small tricks to get on the road and, if necessary, through dark alleys.
For visitors to Bengakana, entering those dark alleys is definitely the biggest taboo, and almost all tourist brochures that introduce Bengakaana are marked with a very strong mark on the first page.
Leo agrees with this, because when he walks through the alleys, he is bound to encounter robberies, and he can also feel all kinds of malicious eyes in the houses around the alleys.
By the time Leo arrives at the Church of the Lord of Life and Destruction, he has already suffered seven robberies and dozens of thefts, so it's no wonder that some travelers claim that Bangakana is a muddy pool, and if it weren't for the gems in it, no one would want to go near this rancid area.
Upon arriving at the location, Leo found a clergyman who was distributing food to the poor at the door of the church and asked about the storage box.
The clergyman did not answer, but casually pointed to a nearby building separate from the church.
Leo came to this building, this place is not much different from ordinary banks, when facing the door, there is a row of counters, and clergy are behind the counters, handling business for people here, but the people who come here to handle business are not ordinary people, either adventurers, treasure hunters, or merchants with special requirements, and these people are naturally indispensable people from the dark world.
After Leo entered here, he easily found four or five transcendents with energy fluctuations among the people who were ready to handle business, but there was only one transcendent sent by the Church of the Lord of All Things to protect this place, that is, the church knight who stood by the gate like a sculpture.
The energy fluctuations on these transcendents are not very strong, but the strength of the church knights cannot be measured by whether the energy fluctuations are strong or not, because once the church knights borrow the divine power of the Lord of All Things through some methods or directly extract the faith power of believers from the church, then the strength of the church knights will increase exponentially, which is why the church thinks that sending a church knight with divine power is enough to handle here.
Leo walked to an empty counter, and instead of taking out the old puppeteer's metal card, he turned to the clergy inside the counter and said, "I'm going to take care of the storage business." ”
The clergyman skillfully took out a form, handed it to Leo, and said, "Please fill out the form." ”
Leo looked at the form and added, "I'm going to handle the storage of special items. ”
The clergy was stunned, then took back the form, gestured to Leo, and said, "Please come with me." ”
Then he led Leo to a small room, sat him for a while, and then walked out, and after a while, he walked in with a form, a box, and a metal card identical to the old puppeteer.
After that, under the guidance of the clergy, Leo filled out the form, paid the fee, and then inserted the metal card into the card slot on the front of the box, and injected power into the metal card at the signal of the clergy, until the metal card flashed and the box opened automatically.
Leo put a stone he had picked up from the ground before entering the church into the box, closed the lid, and the light on the metal card disappeared, allowing it to be pulled out.
At this time, the metal card has one more symbol than just now, which should be the mark corresponding to the box.
"Wait, I have one more thing to take out. As the clergyman was about to leave, Leo stopped him and pulled out the old puppeteer's metal card.
