Because of the road alone, Leo was much faster, and it took less than an hour to reach the outskirts of Ethiopia.

This place is completely different from the Guga Desert and the Weiman Desert dozens of kilometers away, where the view is full of greenery, and the jungle and wheat fields are lined up along both sides of the Savile Grand Canyon, stretching into the distance without seeing the end.

Although Leo had seen information about the Savile Grand Canyon from the trees, most of those materials were written very vaguely, and the main content was nothing more than that the Savile Grand Canyon was the largest canyon in the Savile Kingdom, connecting the east and west sides, reaching the east coast in the east, and connecting the Guzman Snow Mountain in the west, and the snow on the snow-capped mountains melted and converged into the Grand Canyon, forming the Savile River, the main river in the Savile Kingdom.

Because of the abundant water of the Savile River, both sides of the Savile Gorge have been one of the most important grain producing areas of the Savile Kingdom since ancient times.

Eventually, after much discussion, the Kingdom Route was moved to the side of the Wiman Desert, ten kilometers away from the Savile Gorge, on the edge of the desert, without causing any damage to the farmland.

As for the kingdom railway that runs through the east and west ends of Savile, it is even more whimsical, through a special steel frame structure, directly erected on the canyon, this railway has also become the first of the world's top ten mechanical industry miracles recognized by the world because of its peculiar structure.

However, this position at the top was broken by the Miracle Star ocean liner not long ago, giving way to the position of the leader, but with the silence of the Miracle Star, this position returned to the Savile Gorge Kingdom Railway, making some self-respecting Saviles mood swings.

Leo's position at the moment is difficult to see clearly according to normal human eyesight, this railway called the wonder of the world, but through the blessing of extraordinary vision, the railway that was erected over the canyon is completely presented in front of him.

I saw that on the straight canyon, a steel frame like a human rib was erected above the canyon, and the train track was on the steel skeleton in the middle, and the heavy train passed on the steel rails, and the huge force was dispersed and borne by every steel bar below, and finally all dispersed to the stone walls on both sides of the canyon.

The reason why the engineer in charge of the design of the railway chose such a dangerous way to erect the track was because the surrounding areas suitable for laying the railway were all farmland, and these farmlands were the lifeblood of the surrounding tribes, and unless there was a civil war to eliminate all these tribes, it was impossible to destroy the farmland to build the railway.

Another reason is that there are deserts on both sides of the canyon, and they are all floating sand that can move and are not forced, and building a railway on top of these floating sand will easily cause safety problems such as track shifting, which will eventually lead to frequent train accidents.

In addition, the most important thing about this railway laying plan is whether the stone walls at both ends of the canyon can withstand the weight of the steel skeleton and the steam train.

In fact, Savile's engineers basically didn't need much measurement to determine the hardness of the rocks at both ends of the canyon, because almost all the stones used in the tombs of the kings of the Savile Kingdom after their deaths were collected from the rocks on both sides of the canyon, which has been known for its hardness since a long time ago, and palaces in other countries have also used Savile Canyon Rock as the preferred building material when they were built, and for a long time Canyon Rock was an important export commodity for Savile, until the mining of which was gradually stopped in recent decades.

Although Leo, a lone foreigner, caught the attention of the Saviles who were working in the fields, they only looked at Leo twice and went about their business.

Because there are so many foreign explorers or travelers like Leo who travel in the desert, although they are alone and have no strange outfits, they are not without similar people in the past, so they do not attract much attention from these Saviles.

Leo asked an old man who was resting on the edge of the farmland about the direction of Ethiopia, and then boarded a carriage that was about to enter the city to deliver goods, and drove in the direction of Ethiopia.

After about ten minutes of driving, the carriage drove through the middle of a forest, then climbed a hillside, and when it reached the top, the people in the carriage were able to see the whole city of Ethiopia.

I saw that Ethiopia City was built at an S-shaped bend in the canyon, the whole town atmosphere north and south two parts, the south city is the city on this side of the Guga Desert, because most of the people who live here are ordinary Savile farmers, and a small number of adventurers who want to explore the mysteries of the Guga Desert, so the buildings here are mainly ordinary people's houses and small hotels for hospitality, which seem to be far less prosperous than the northern area.

When Leo entered the city, he was slightly troubled by the guards at the city gate, and it was obvious that in the eyes of these people, foreigners must be much richer than locals, so the cost of entering the city was twice as much as that of the local Savilles.

Leo didn't care about this, and directly handed over the money and entered the city, but the city guards seemed to have other thoughts when they saw the coins stuffed in Leo's wallet, and when Leo left, they sent local ruffians to follow him secretly, as if they wanted to find out where Leo was located.

Those ruffians are just ordinary people, and they are not good at stalking, and even without a spirit network, Leo can easily spot these stalkers.

It didn't take much guesswork for Leo to be sure that the ruffians might have something to do with the city guards at the gates, but he ignored them and walked to a small inn that had been opened on the side of the main road.

"Welcome, do you want to stay at the hotel?" asked a Savile girl, who was a little younger than Elijah, as she greeted her.

Leo said, "Yes, prepare me a single room and stay for three days." ”

Led by the girl, he checked in at the counter and led him to his room.

Like most of the hotels in the city, this hotel is a small house, but the water vapor generated by the flow of the Savile River at the bottom of the canyon creates a cool river breeze on both sides of the canyon, making the city of Ethiopia not hot even though it is so close to the desert.

After a short rest in the room, Leo went to the front desk and asked what to do in Ethiopia.

Leo's problem is obviously not a new problem, and Ethiopia has already had a solution, and the front desk took out a travel guide written in French and handed it to Leo before Leo's question was finished.

Taking the guidebook, Leo flipped through it a little and soon found a place of interest at the bottom of the canyon at the riverbank market.

Because more than 90% of the water in the Savile River comes from the snow of the snow-capped mountains, when winter is approaching, the snow will be less, the river will also be reduced, and the river channel at the bottom of the canyon will naturally be narrowed, and some of the riverbeds that have been washed by the river will be exposed.

In the early days, Savile smugglers would take advantage of the special geographical location of the Savile River and the environment on both sides of the river for smuggling, and the riverbend market was originally just a dock used by local gangsters in Ethiopia to trade smuggled goods.

However, with the Savile Kingdom's tough crackdown on smugglers, and the United Church's extermination of gangs in various cities, Riverbend Market, where gangs and smugglers thrived, was abandoned.

Later, some tomb robbers came here to sell their stolen goods, and this riverbend market was active again, and with the excavation of various desert ancient ruins, all kinds of antiquities appeared in the people, and a large number of foreign tourists and adventurers came here to buy these items, and this kind of riverbend market also took advantage of this antiquities to recover.

Although there are still some illegal underground transactions in the riverbend market, the managers of various towns are not as strict as in the past, as long as the riverbend market pays enough taxes and does not cause any trouble, they will acquiesce to the existence of the market, and over time, the riverbend market has become one of the distinctive tourist attractions of the 37 cities of the Kingdom Road.

Although it is not yet winter when the river is at its lowest, as the weather gets colder and the river water is gradually decreasing, a part of the river bend market at the bottom of the canyon has been exposed.

As is the case with other markets, some of the big antique dealers soon made a dozen or so big deals, and seventy or eighty percent of the goods were bought by their trades before they could be placed on the market, and if it were not for the prosperity of the market, so that some tourists and explorers could buy something, perhaps the rest would have been traded.

However, although the market managers intercepted a large part of the antiques and let the sellers of these antiques put them on the market, this does not mean that all the antiques in this market are real, in fact, there are a large number of fake antiques also mixed into the market, if there is no certain level of recognition, I am afraid it is difficult to buy real ancient civilization antiquities from the market.

It's also quite interesting to say, I don't know if it's because of this kind of river market, or because of the Church of the Lord of Life and Death, all in all, the Kingdom of Savile is the only kingdom that does not have a black market.

It's just that although there is no black market, the trading of some mysterious items still exists, and the riverbend market is the trading place of this kind of items, but these transactions are often disguised as antique transactions, so there will be some ordinary people who accidentally complete some transactions with some people in the dark world, and obtain some mysterious items with special powers, which are good and bad, and have caused some rumors, making the riverbend market more mysterious, and indirectly attracting a lot of tourists.

In this travel guide that Leo reads, there are several interesting facts about the riverbend market, including one that involves mysterious objects that ordinary people should not touch.

Leo asked the front desk for the details of the Bend Market before leaving the hotel.

"Wait, guest. But the innkeeper stopped Leo, took out some scimitars, daggers and other weapons from under the counter, and said, "It's dangerous for you to walk outside alone, I think you should need a little weapon to defend yourself, even if you don't have to wear it on your body, it will save a lot of trouble." ”

"Is the security here so bad?" Leo asked, smiling.

"I don't want to admit it, but the law and order is really bad. The innkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that the security teams in the city have been transferred, and now the gangsters in various urban districts are responsible for the security of the city, and as for the gangsters' work...... I'm sure you know that, so it's best to take a little bit of self-defense, or go straight to the city gate and hire a guide, which will take a lot more but at least make your stay safe. ”

"I see, thanks for the reminder. Leo replied, saying the king and queen who were bare their waists, and said, "I think this thing should be more reliable than those weapons." ”

Seeing the ornate firearm on Leo's waist, the innkeeper withdrew the weapon under the counter and said nothing more.

Leo left the hotel and walked in the direction of the Riverbend Market.

The thugs not far from him were still following in a very conspicuous way, but Leo ignored them and went straight to the staircase leading to the riverbend market.

The staircase is steep, built directly along the stone wall of the canyon cliff, using the steel left over from the construction of the railway support, which is very strong, and the only flaw is that only one person can walk, so the market manager specially built two stairs, one down and one up.

As we all know, the best time to visit the riverbank market is late at night, because the vendors in the market are always restocked late at night, and there are more opportunities to find valuable antiques at this time.

And now Leo did not choose a very good time, in the evening, there are only the goods left over from the day and last night in the market, and there is no particularly good eyesight, and it is easy to buy fakes.

However, for those ordinary tourists to come, this time is a good time to visit the river bay market, because there are few people in the market now, it will not seem crowded, visiting the market is like a walk, very leisurely, and if you fancy something on the stall, then you can also have more time to carefully judge the authenticity of the thing, and will not be misjudged by the merchant on the grounds that there are too many people to see.

Although it is not the peak season for tourism in the Savile Kingdom, there are still a lot of tourists from all over the world who come to the Savile Kingdom, and Leo saw hundreds of tourists from various countries in the world of Villon in the market, walking back and forth in the aisle in the middle of the stalls, and immediately squatting in front of a stall when he saw something he liked, and bargained with the boss.

Leo also entered the market, walking slowly, looking at the antiquities on both sides, in fact, his spiritual net had already covered the entire market the moment he entered the market, and he could see the items on those stalls clearly.
