The next day, just after dawn, Leo left Landusto, without any further stop in the town.

However, before leaving, there was a little trouble, because a large number of people who needed to leave the city gathered at the gates of the city, waiting for the guards to check it.

From the conversations of these people, Leo learned that there are the fewest monsters in the wild every morning, and that after noon, they will gradually increase, and at night they will be the most.

All those who are in a hurry will choose to leave their town early in the morning and follow the Continental Railway to the next town, and if nothing happens, they will be able to reach the next town before dark.

As for why not take the steam train, it's mainly because the steam train basically runs every ten days, and the last train only left two days ago.

The reason why it takes so long for a steam train to run is not because of the small number of steam trains, but because every time the train is used, it needs to undergo major repairs before it can be used again, and the reason is that every time the steam train travels, it will encounter a large number of monsters who forget to die.

Although these attacks are the equivalent of hitting a stone with an egg when encountering the heavy armor, heavy body, and extremely high speed of the steam train, they still cause some damage to the steam train, some of which will not affect the steam train's movement, but can be fatal over time.

None of these trains can be dispatched until it is confirmed that the steam locomotives can withstand the various shocks, because if the steam locomotive has an accident on land, it will be difficult for the people on the train to survive.

In addition, the general public is reluctant to choose the steam train to travel, also because the ticket price of the steam train is too expensive and not within the range of the ordinary people.

Because now the connection between each town of the Velun Alliance and the connection with the Northern Hanosa Alliance needs to rely on the steam train, and this connection is mainly based on material transactions, so the carriages dragged behind the steam train are all freight cars, and there are only two passenger cars under normal circumstances, so its ticket price is very expensive, and the value of a ticket is almost enough to buy a small apartment in a small town.

After learning about the steam train, Leo left Landosto and walked along the railroad outside the town, perceiving his surroundings as he went.

Although it has been two days since the last train, there are still a lot of clues here because the train often comes and goes on the railway.

For example, Leo knows why those monsters in the wild will attack the steam train crazily, mainly because in order to improve the power of the train, pull more carriages, and transport more goods, the fuel of the train not only uses wood and charcoal, but also adds a lot of combustion formulas supported by high-energy substances, so every time the steam train travels, it is like a delicious snack that exudes high-energy substances at all times, and any monster that senses it will not give up eating this delicious snack.

Although Leo didn't see the fuel recipe used in the train now, he felt that it might be the result of some unfinished research he was doing at Castle Black.

However, at that time, Leo was not researching the formula of train fuel, but the formula of airship fuel he studied, although the new formula he developed could increase the effectiveness of the same amount of firewood and charcoal by more than four times, and extend the combustion time by double, but because it could not neutralize the energy substances produced after combustion, it was temporarily included in his unsuccessful data file.

After that, Leo went to the place where the transparent monsters were eliminated and checked, after a night, only some energy fluctuations remained here, but there were still some slime left on the ground that should be with the monster after death, and Leo could find the shadow of some biological cells from these slimes, so he used a glass bottle to collect these slime, and when he had time, he studied it again to see what was so special about these transparent monsters.

After settling these matters, Leo followed the long way he had yesterday, repented of Port Randall and returned to Castle Black.

He didn't leave in a hurry, but carefully checked the surroundings to see if anything was missing, and also checked the bottom of the Wanghai Cliff, and found that the cliffs below had all collapsed, which means that the ruins of the Black Castle are now on a prominent dangerous rock, and it may collapse with the Wanghai Cliff at any time and fall into the sea.

I don't know if it's because of the power of fate in the dark, or just because of his carelessness, just when he climbed back up the Wanghai Cliff, the loose rock at the bottom of the Wanghai Cliff seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the extra person, and began to crack, and then began to collapse.

Leo had already spread his psionic wings and flew in the air at the moment when the cliff collapsed, he stabilized his body in the air, and when he looked back at Castle Black, the entire Castle had completely fallen into the sea, setting off a wave of waves, and only one of the outer walls of Castle Black remained on the cliff, telling that there was once a majestic building here.

Leo controlled the psionic wings to float in the air, watched the waves created by the black castle gradually subside, did not return to the shore, and crossed an arc in the air, and flew in the direction of the Moissanite continent.

The Star of Hope is the third largest ship of the Siren Shipping Company of the Kingdom of England, and unlike the other ships of the shipping line, this ship carries passengers between the continents of Velen and Moissan, and does not carry any cargo.

Although such a rule makes the crew of this ship less than the superficial freight bonus, but more smuggled dark money, this minus one adds up, and the crew's income is not less, but more.

The Kraken Shipping Company is the largest private company among the many shipping companies blessed by the sea god in the Kingdom of England, and there are a total of fifteen ships of all sizes, and the pirate raids encountered by these fifteen ships are almost zero, and the shipwrecks due to weather are very rare.

The reason for this is that Sean Donald, the owner of Kraken Shipping, is a person who has truly been blessed by the god of the sea, and this blessing not only allows the ships of the Kraken Shipping Company to sail smoothly on the sea without encountering too bad weather, but also gives these ships fifteen kraken guardians.

The fact that the Kraken Shipping Company's ships were protected by the Kraken has always been an unconfirmed legend, but many people believe that this legend is true, and some people swear that they have seen how the Kraken destroyed a pirate ship.

It's just that all the others see is a pirate ship that sinks suddenly and inexplicably when trying to loot the ships of the Kraken Shipping Company, and the pirates on board sink with the ship like people who can't swim.

Although the so-called Kraken was not seen, the inexplicable sinking of the pirate ship was enough to make people believe that the ships of the Kraken Shipping Company were protected by some mysterious sea power, so whether it was cargo or passengers, when they could not buy tickets for the ships of the Royal Shipping Company of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Sigmar, as well as tickets for the ships of the Church, the ships of choice were definitely the ships of the Kraken Shipping Company.

Originally, the Kraken Shipping Company was not engaged in passenger transportation business, and was mainly engaged in freight, but as the situation on the three continents began to stabilize, there were more people traveling to and from each continent, except for a few ordinary people who wanted to return to their homeland to live, or wanted to leave their homeland to live in other places, the vast majority of them were some adventurers who had the idea of getting rich overnight.

When the fog broke out, a large number of areas fell, and until today they have not been recaptured by human civilization, all of them have become a paradise for monsters, and the Moisan and Minsk continents have fallen to small towns or villages in the suburbs, and large cities have been preserved.

But the Vilun continent is different, all the big cities have fallen, except for a few people in the big cities who are lucky enough to flee to remote towns with churches, everyone else has fallen into the big cities, and neither the fleeing nor the fallen ones have had time to take away the wealth in these big cities.

You must know that the Francois Empire of the Vilond Continent has been the most powerful country in the Velons world for so many years, and the wealth they have accumulated is more than that of all the countries on the other continents combined, and so much wealth is now lying quietly in those fallen big cities, waiting to be taken away, and there are few people who can withstand such a temptation.

Therefore, after the situation stabilized a little and the routes between the various continents began to resume, not only the people of the Velonon Alliance, but also people from other continents came to the Velon, trying to take away the huge wealth buried in those cities.

It's just that some of these people are lucky, and they will soon be able to find a large amount of wealth, from a poor person at the bottom of the society to a rich man who is envied by everyone overnight, but more people are disappearing in the process of adventuring and searching for treasures, and their lives and deaths are unknown, but even this still can't stop those adventurers who want to get rich overnight.

The passengers on board the Star of Hope are such lucky adventurers who have found a lot of treasure in the ruins of the big cities of the continent of Veron, and these treasures have been exchanged for currency in the local towns.

Although these treasures did not make them a lifelong rich man as the legend says, they were enough to change their lives when they returned, such as buying some land, building their own house, and so on.

Different from the relaxed mood of the passengers on the ship, the captain, first mate and other senior crew members of the Good Star of Hope all looked very serious on their faces, and after exchanging information that the messenger had just taken from the claws of the letter bird, everyone sank, and the atmosphere in the conference room also froze.

"Could this information be wrong?" the first mate couldn't help but question, "Sharptooth Henry, the sea witch Mortana, the old fur dog Jeninte, and the three great pirates, together with almost twenty ships, want to hunt down our passenger ship that has little value? Are they crazy? Aren't they afraid of the Kraken?"

The captain was silent for a moment, and said, "Henry Sharptooth, Motana, and Jeninte, the old fur dog, are all famous pirates in this sea, and the kingdom has sent naval fleets to clear them out several times, but they have all escaped, which shows that their abilities are not ordinary. Moreover, the targets of their raids are also to select those merchant ships that smuggle merchant ships and small chambers of commerce, and rarely do anything to the kingdom, the fleet of the church, and the big chambers of commerce like our Kraken Shipping, so they also know very well who they can and cannot offend. But now that they have joined forces to rob a passenger liner like ours, there is only one possibility, and that is that if they succeed in this robbery, the final gains will definitely far outweigh the dangers and reproaches they will face. As he spoke, he paused and made a judgment: "There must be something on our ship that the three of them have to grab." ”

The first mate said with some disapproval: "Those guests on our ship are some outlaws and adventurers, even if they have gained anything in the ruins of the city of Veron, they have already been exchanged for checks from the church bank, those checks are impossible to exchange without their permission and the beneficiary of the inheritance, and they will not get anything if they rob them." ”

"What if it's not money that they're trying to rob?" suddenly interjected the new navigator on the ship.

Hearing his words, everyone looked at him in unison, which made him a little nervous as a newcomer.

The captain motioned, "Don't be nervous, tell me what you think." ”

The navigator took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said, "I remember that Sharp Tooth, the Sea Witch, and the Old Fur Dog were all very devout Bishops of the Sky, and the Old Fur Dog almost even became a high-ranking clergyman. It's just that they have committed some mistakes and have been stripped of their membership. All along, the three of them wanted to restore their membership, and a large part of the belongings after each robbery were donated to the church, and they never robbed the ships of the followers of the Lord of the Sky Church, so they were able to risk offending our Kraken shipping and being destroyed by the Kraken, and they also wanted to rob us, which could only be related to the Lord of the Sky Church, maybe that thing could help them become members of the Lord of the Sky Church again. ”

After listening to the navigator's analysis, everyone present fell into deep thought, and then successively said that the navigator's analysis was likely to be true.

However, then the question arose, what exactly that thing was, in whose hands it was completely unclear, perhaps only by searching the passengers' cabins and saluting one by one, it would be possible to find out the thing.

But if this is really done, the reputation of Kraken Shipping may be ruined, and when the time comes, let alone the passengers on the passenger ship, even on the cargo side, I am afraid that no one will be willing to cooperate with a shipping company that searches for passengers to salute, after all, no one's cargo has something shady to see.
