Chapter 697: Listening to the situation

As the head snake of the land, Kajie naturally would not arrange Leo and them to rest in the sewers, and after she handed over the matter of the black market to the deputy, she led Leo and them back to the ground, came to the most upscale hotel in Tranquility City, and arranged the three of them in the hotel.

At first, it was nothing, but when he learned that the hotel was actually Cartier's property, Robert's face became a little ugly.

Previously, Cartier said that the blood clan and werewolves had forced the black market in Yasha County to change its business content and model, and Robert thought that the black market here might be very bad, even if Cartier mentioned that they were now making a lot more money than before, and they didn't have to risk their lives to fight and fight, he just thought that Cartier was hard-mouthed.

However, now after seeing this luxurious hotel, he realized that Cartier's previous words were indeed not wrong, after the black market in Yasha County changed its model, it made a lot more money than before, just the black market person in charge of a small border city like Cartier can already have such a big industry, so what about the black market person in charge of other big cities?

With this feeling of envy and jealousy, Robert looked very ugly for most of the next day, muttering from time to time about betraying the black market tradition.

Leo is more concerned about what has happened in recent times than the business model of the Kiashshire black market.

He didn't look for the newspaper, because the newspaper was incomplete, but asked Kajie directly.

Although Tranquility City is a small town on the edge of Yasha County, because it relies on Yasha County, the news circulation here is also very fast, especially the news transmitted by the black market, most of which have not yet reached the northwest zone, and it has become old news here.

From Kajie's mouth, Leo learned that the situation of the Kingdom of Maris was really bad, and the original civil war had already caused the prosperous counties and provinces in the central and western and southern parts of the country to become devastated and the people were struggling to survive, and all kinds of monsters suddenly appeared like the last straw that crushed the camel's back, completely crushing the livelihood of the already overburdened central, western and southern regions.

Now that the outskirts of these places have become almost deserted, all the people have taken refuge in the city protected by high walls and soldiers, further disturbing the order of the city.

The west is a grassland desert, the land is vast and sparsely populated, even if the people's livelihood is destroyed, it doesn't matter to the Maris Kingdom, the northwest is where the government army and the rebel army are fighting, but both sides are restraining their destructive power, the cities in the northwest and the villages and towns on the outskirts of the city are still intact, and the impact on the people's livelihood is not too great.

As for the northern part of Yasha County, although there was also a monster tide here, it quickly subsided, and the rebel army and the government army did not enter this area very tacitly, making this the only peaceful paradise in the Maris Kingdom, which also caused a large number of southerners who fled to Yasha County to escape the scourge of war, and most of these people were rich people, and the arrival of these people made Yasha County the most prosperous place in the entire Maris Kingdom in a short period of time.

For example, among the many people Leo saw in the black market before, most of them were the children of powerful people who had fled here in the south, and they had seen the power and danger of monsters, so they were also curious about mysterious powers, and they knew that there was a black market, so they naturally became curious, and then went to investigate.

The government army and the rebel army also sensed that the situation had become very bad, and if they continued to fight like this, I am afraid that the kingdom of Maris would really be finished, so both sides had the idea of negotiating, except for the western accident, the battlefields in other places temporarily stopped fighting, and each of them was also dealing with various things in the areas under their control, mainly dealing with the monsters that had occupied the suburbs.

Because the army needs to protect the city, the work of hunting monsters in the suburbs is handed over to the bounty hunters, and now the main thing to clean up the monsters is divided into three forces at the same time, one is the special bureau recruited by the government army and the rebel army themselves, one is the black market, and the last one is naturally the church of the king of the hill.

Although the cleanup of the monsters in the suburbs is not too smooth for the time being, at least it does not make the current situation worse, and it won't be long before the various forces can sort out a set of methods to deal with monsters, and then those monsters entrenched in the suburbs will no longer be a problem.

Leo didn't care about the families who were out of control because of the changes in the world, and among the various news provided by Kajie, he was most concerned about the fog on the sea, because there was news that the fog entrenched on the sea had not only not weakened and dissipated these days, but was getting thicker and thicker, and it was spreading towards the land, and three coastal cities had been swallowed by the fog and had lost the news.

"Don't the government and the rebels ignore those cities?" asked Leo, frowning.

"They can't manage it if they want to, and now the affairs of the area they control are enough for them to be busy, and there is no extra manpower to deal with these things," Kajie shook his head and said, "However, they all put the loss of contact with those cities as a bounty task on the black market, and the bounty is extremely rich, and it has attracted many people and forces." In addition, they also asked the Church of the Hill Kings for help, as far as I know, the Church of the Hill Kings had sent a team of knights led by three paladins into the Fog Zone a day ago, but they haven't heard from that side yet. ”

"Didn't you send someone?" asked Leo.

"Nope. Kajie replied in the affirmative at first, but then quickly said with some uncertainty: "Maybe." ”

The news that the fog is spreading is not only good news for the world of Velon, but also for Leo, because this fog is most likely coming from the abyss, which means that with the return of the gods, the abyss has also descended, and the whole world is sliding into the abyss.

It's just that Leo calmed down and thought that it was not too possible, because if the world really slipped into the abyss, then the most worried must be these returning true gods, who must use the shortest possible time to deal with it and prevent the abyss from descending, instead of issuing an oracle such as forming a knight order.

Judging from the church's reaction after accepting the commission, it is obvious that the Church of the Hill Kings did not receive any revelation from their gods, and they did not know what was in the fog, so they were so bold to send only a few paladins and ordinary knights into the fog.

"Where are the cities?" asked Leo suddenly.

Kajie quickly took a map, and then only showed it to Leo, the cities covered by the dense fog are all in the southwest corner of the Maris Kingdom, one of them is still an offshore island city, they are all seaside cities, and if you look at the map carefully, you will find that they are not very far from the sea area of the Falling Star Sea.

"Is there a thick fog in the north?" asked Leo suddenly.

"I don't know about this," said Katy, shaking his head, thinking for a moment, "but I've heard that there are still ships in Daliat that can sail along the coastline, and I don't think the intensity of the fog can be compared to the south." ”

After hearing this, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, because according to his understanding, if the world slipped into the abyss, the situation of the abyssal fog would appear at the same time, and the concentration was about the same, and it could not be a situation where the south was strong and the north was weak.

However, this is just Leo's speculation, and he still needs to see the dense fog at sea to make a judgment.

After nightfall, everyone went back to their respective rooms to rest, and when Leo returned to his room, he did not fall asleep, but opened his spiritual net, but he slightly changed the perception accuracy of the spiritual net, expanded the coverage area, and shrouded the entire Tranquility City in his own spiritual net perception.

Although on the surface Tranquility City is as peaceful as its name suggests, in fact there are still some runaway clans who can control their own power, but they can't control their mentality, and at the end of the night, he sensed at least five battles, all of which were against the werewolf officers of the garrison stationed here.

Even if Leo adjusted the sensing accuracy of the spirit net, he was able to clearly sense the details of the strength of the two warring sides after watching the five battles.

As he had guessed before, those werewolves whose energy fluctuation level had reached the third level of psionic power were even more unable to control their own power, not only did they not have the corresponding combat skills, but they were also unable to control their own strength well, and all the destruction in the battle site came from the hands of these werewolves who could not control their power.

Compared to those werewolves, on the contrary, those out-of-control dependents who have lost most of their minds have more subtle control over their own strength, using their own strength is like using their own arms, although the energy level is more than one level lower than that of werewolves, but they can still fight with werewolves, and finally even used a small trick to escape the pursuit of werewolves.

After a few battles, it ended with those out-of-control clans escaping from Tranquility City, and the werewolf officers gaining rare combat experience.

It's just that their battle has suffered those ordinary people who are around the battle zone, and the vast majority of those ordinary people have encountered the impact of some unknown spiritual energy on these runaway dependents when they see the twisted and strange figures of the runaway dependents, and a few of them have survived, but the vast majority of them have fainted in the impact, and almost all of them have gone crazy when they wake up.

These crazy ones, and the sober ones, who were not so lucky, but even more unlucky, those who happened to come out of the middle of the battle arena, they were either eaten as food by the out-of-control clans, or torn apart by the uncontrollable attacks of the werewolves, all in all, only a few people who happened to come out of the center of the battle zone were still alive, and all of them were crazy without exception.

The two communities in Yasha County seemed to have a quick and effective process for dealing with the situation, and not long after the battle ended, an army arrived to cordon off the area, and then split the survivors into two groups.

Those who are able to stay awake after witnessing the battle will be recruited by the Special Division, as it represents the potential for those who have the potential to become bounty hunters, or even transcendents.

As for the rest of the madmen who had broken their will, they were taken away and sent to public sanatoriums outside the city for treatment.

The damaged buildings in the area were quickly cleaned up, and a construction team renovated the land early the next morning, transforming a residential area into a public square in less than half a day.

Leo had already reclaimed the spiritual net when the local government and military were dealing with post-war matters.

After this incident, he already had a preliminary understanding of the werewolves in Yasha County, and through the strength of the werewolves, it was not difficult for him to deduce the strength of the blood clan that had been fighting against him for many years, if he didn't deduce that there was too much deviation, then no matter what kind of accidents occurred in the process of going to Moonlight City to participate in the auction this time, he would not be in any danger.

This inference also made him relax a little, and in this state of mind, he quickly entered a state of rest.

At noon the next day, Kajie came to the hotel and informed Leo and the others that the rail car had arrived, and she handed Leo the three afternoon tickets to them, and then asked Leo if he could still sell some rune traps.

It turned out that the battle in the city did not end last night with the escape of the runaway family, one of the runaway family members in order to avoid the pursuit of the werewolf, burrowed into the sewers, and then happened to enter the area where the black market is located.

It's just that before the runaway family member was besieged by the guards of the black market, a rune trap set up by Kajie at random during the day was activated, and the spiritual energy stored in the rune trap was attached to the dozens of blades that poked out after the trap was activated, instantly cutting the runaway family who seemed to be some kind of mollusk into pieces, killing him on the spot.

Shocked by the power of the rune trap combined with the mechanical blade, Kajie asked the craftsmen of the black market to study how to make the rune trap.

Then, not only did she not study the Turing roots in the rune trap, but even the catapult blades of those pure mechanical devices did not understand the principle of the time, because they imitated the blade installed but the ejection blade was not ten times weaker than the blade of the rune trap, so the craftsmen of the black market blamed the exaggerated power of the blade on those incomprehensible runes, believing that the unique technique of the tower wizard at this time could not be imitated.

During the day, Kajie's attention was on wizard potions, and she only bought some rune traps and mechanical traps in passing, more to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with Leo.

However, she never thought of the rune traps and mechanical traps that she ignored during the day, and then had the power to easily kill a runaway clan, even if the situation was a bit special at that time, the runaway clan didn't have time to defend at all, but it was undeniable that the power of the rune traps did far exceed all the weapons that can be used now to deal with the clans or transcendents, and more importantly, these rune traps can be used even by ordinary people, and Kajie naturally wants to get more of these traps.
