Chapter 696 Coping
Perhaps because she felt that this noisy market was not a suitable place to talk, the woman named Katje led Leo and others into a small renovated room not far away, and then motioned for them to sit wherever they wanted while she took off her clothes.
The man in mysterious equipment came over with a bottle of wine and several wine glasses, each poured a glass, and then asked Fat Robert, "Are you here to attend the meeting this time?"
"Well." Robert took a glass of wine and took a sip, and then asked in a deep voice: "Since those vampires and werewolves behaved so strongly, why did the superiors arrange the meeting here? Let alone whether it is safe, what if it happened?
If there is a conflict, we will not have the upper hand."
Kate rolled her eyes at Fatty Robert and said angrily: "Even you don't know the reason for this, so how could I possibly know it? You must know that in the organization, my job level is two levels lower than yours.
.”
Robert curled his lips and asked again: "What happened in Yasha County recently? Why did those two tribes suddenly act so strong?"
"What else could be the reason?" Katje sighed and said, "The situation here was very bad during the big mutation some time ago. Even vampires and werewolves were unable to limit the situation to the dark world in the event of an emergency.
As a result, many casualties were caused, and among the casualties was the young master of the Foster family. You must know that this was the only high-level vampire to die in an accident in the past hundred years. Naturally, the vampires refused to give up and went out on a large scale.
After cleaning up the whole county, both the out-of-control Familia and the not-out-of-control Familia were all cleaned up, and the cultists were also driven into the forest. The vampires were doing things in such a big way, and the werewolves were naturally not afraid of them. They were like competing,
We sorted through the extraordinary beings staying in the counties and provinces again. Later, they discovered that the situation in the outside world had changed, so they simply gave up hiding behind the scenes to control the situation and all came forward."
Fat Robert frowned, and before he could think of a question to ask, Leo suddenly asked: "What kind of external situation made them come to the stage from behind the scenes?"
Hearing Leo's inquiry, Katje took a serious look at Leo, and quickly recognized Leo's identity. He quickly stood up, saluted Leo, and said: "Nice to see you,
Mr. Leo, I hope the situation outside has not caused you any misunderstanding. If you have any needs, any goods we can provide here will be the same as other black markets."
Faced with Katje's enthusiastic attitude, Leo just nodded, and then asked the question again.
Seeing Leo's attitude, Katje immediately understood that Leo must have traded with Fat Robert, so he glared at Fat Robert next to him, and then answered truthfully: "It's the oracle, the day before yesterday, the King of the Hill
The church and the Lady of the Lake Church issued oracles at the same time, and the two major churches began to rebuild the Church Knights."
"What? Rebuilding the Knights?" It was not Leo and Robert who made the surprised noises, but Sherf. He obviously reacted very strongly to the news, and the expression on his face seemed a bit complicated, showing both happiness and joy.
He seemed a little worried.
Before the Orthodox Church appeared, each church in the world of Velen had its own church knights. The number of these knights varied, ranging from only a dozen to thousands. Among them, the King of the Hill,
The Lord of the Sky and other churches with profound foundations and powerful strength sometimes have tens of thousands of church knights.
However, with the religious reform and the establishment of the Orthodox Church, each church also began to streamline the number of its own knights, selecting the most elite, powerful, and steadfast knights from the knights, allowing them to receive divine grace and become able to use a
Two holy knights with divine magic were allowed to join the Orthodox Church, and the armed forces belonging to the church gradually disappeared.
Nowadays, the Church of the King of the Hill and the Church of the Lady of the Lake have publicly announced the formation of the Church Knights. I believe that other small churches belonging to the Orthodox Church will soon follow suit. In this way, the church will regain its armed strength and challenge the current Kingdom of Maris.
The situation will definitely have unforeseen consequences.
However, this matter is a good thing for Sherf. As a judge, if he returns to the Church of the King of the Hill, he will definitely be reused. In the end, he may even be able to control an order of knights, so that his dream for many years will be fulfilled.
It can be achieved.
But he is also unwilling to give up his current status and rights, because he has now established a firm foothold in the rebel army, has been recognized by the upper class of the rebel army, and has real power, and he can also see that the rebel army will be
The final victor, once the rebel army becomes the legal regime of the Kingdom of Maris, his rights and status will inevitably be improved, and it is not impossible to become the core official of the kingdom by then.
One was the power that he had already grasped, and he could foresee that he would be a high-ranking official in the royal government in the future. The other was his dream for many years, the possible rights and status of the church in the future. Both of them made him feel hesitant.
However, for Leo, the church's reorganization of the Knights was just a sign that various churches began to interfere in secular affairs, but he was not optimistic about the church's decision in his heart.
If more than a hundred years ago, the steam machinery technology in the Velen world had not developed to the present level, then the Church Knights might still be the most powerful military force in the Velen world.
But now steam technology has developed to this extent. It has formed a steam civilization that can produce a large number of steam weapons that ordinary people can use in a short time. And as the world changes little by little, all steam machinery will produce unpredictable effects.
By then, even if the church's knights are all composed of extraordinary people, they will still suffer in the face of military steam weapons. Unless the gods personally take action, even if each church has established a knighthood, I am afraid that
Nor can it restore its former glory.
Leo did not pay too much attention to the Knights' affairs, but asked about another news related to his coming to the Kingdom of Maris, and said: "Before the black market, I was going to sell a wizard left at the auction in Padu City.
The box that came down, now that the black market has handed over the right to hold the auction to the vampires here, will that box still be put up for auction now?"
"This... wait!" Katje hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked to a cabinet, then flipped through it and took out a beautiful manual. He handed it to Leo and said: "This manual has
The items are all items that the vampires will sell at the auction held in Moonlight City. You can take a look to see if there is anything you want."
After Leo took the manual, he read it carefully and quickly. The box he wanted was on the list, but the price was a bit unexpectedly high. The starting price was already twice his expected price, although it was far away.
There is still a certain gap in the funds he has prepared, but he is not sure whether he will still be able to buy the box if the auction fails and others compete to buy it.
What's more, what makes him even more troubled is that there are several things on the list that he also likes. If he can win them all, his funds will definitely not be enough.
In addition, he also discovered that not only the box he was interested in and several other items had extremely high prices, but all the items on this list were extremely high, and he could see that all the items in it might contain mysterious powers.
There are no decorations or valuables that ordinary people value.
"Why are the prices of everything so high?" Leo couldn't help but asked in confusion.
"The world is changing, and prices are naturally changing." Katje shrugged, replied, and then immediately said: "If Mr. Leo is not rich, our black market is willing to provide Mr. Leo with a good sum of money."
Limited borrowing.”
Fat Robert stared at Katje and said, "Don't mess around. Your authority does not include unlimited loans!"
"Of course, my authority does not include unlimited loans, but Mr. Leo Dodd's authority does include unlimited loans." Katje rolled his eyes at Fat Robert and said, "Yesterday, the headquarters sent a new letter.
A list of collaborators with the highest authority, Mr. Leo is among them."
"What do I need to pay?" Leo didn't care much about the black market adjusting his authority, and he wasn't surprised. After all, he had mastered the wizard's potion. For the current situation, the importance of the wizard's potion is self-evident.
.If Leo was not a powerful wizard, maybe the black market had kidnapped him, hid him, and refined wizard potions specifically for the black market.
"It's very simple. In the future, wizard potions and rune traps will only be produced for us on the black market." Katje immediately stated the conditions of the black market, and felt that it was not accurate, so he added: "To be more precise,
It’s the black market in mainland Minsk.”
Leo was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately. Katje was nervously waiting for the answer. After all, if Leo agreed to this condition, Katje would definitely be able to use this achievement to increase his authority in the black market organization by several levels.
But she was destined to be disappointed. Leo quickly recovered from his contemplation and said, "I have some wizard potions and rune traps for sale. Can you eat them?"
There was a little disappointment on Katje's face, but she soon revealed a happy smile. Although she failed to get Leo to agree to the condition, Leo was prepared to sell her a batch of wizard potions and rune traps.
It's definitely a big gain for her.
"Of course, of course! I have plenty of funds here." Kate agreed quickly and looked at Fat Robert provocatively.
Fat Robert now looked annoyed. Although Leo also sold him a batch of wizard potions and rune traps in Dry Steel City, he really didn't have too many of these things. If he had known that Leo would still be there along the way.
He will continue to sell wizard potions and rune traps, and he will probably ignore the danger and carry the funds from the black market with him so that he can buy them at any time.
After that, Leo took out nearly two-thirds of his wizard potions and rune traps. Among these wizard potions are not only the healing potions, but also some wizard potions that can give others special powers within a certain period of time.
As for the rune traps, they are not just rune traps. Many of them are extremely powerful mechanical traps that have been specially modified by Leo.
All in all, after Leo sold this batch of items, the funds on hand increased by about twice. Although he may not be able to buy everything he likes, at least the box and a few other items may be related to the Tower Wizard.
He should be able to get the stuff.
After the transaction was completed, Katje asked the three of them to spend the night here. When a rail car would drive from Moonlight City to transport supplies to Tranquility City tomorrow, she could use her connections in the black market to get three tickets to Moonlight City.
ticket.
When Katje mentioned the rail car, not only Leo but also Sherf was curious about the rail car, because obviously this rail car should be one of the main reasons why Asia County does not allow steam trains to enter.
"I don't know the specific situation. This rail car was installed a few days ago." Katje shook his head and said: "It is different from the steam train. It does not seem to burn wood or charcoal, and it does not have a water tank.
It seems that the wheels are driven by other methods. The speed is very fast, but the load capacity seems to be much worse than that of the steam train. Wait until tomorrow, and you will be able to see that rail car."
After confirming that Katje really didn't know much about these mechanical gadgets, Sherf didn't ask any more questions. He told Leo and Fat Robert that he had something to do in the evening, and after meeting them at the station tomorrow, he left the black market alone.
"This guy must be looking for the rebel stronghold here." Looking at Sherf's disappearing back, Fat Robert snorted and said.
"Is it a stronghold of the rebel army?" Katje came up and said, "He may be disappointed. All the rebel army's strongholds in Tranquility City have been driven out of Yasha County."
Leo asked: "Does the relationship between the rebels and Yasha County have a bad relationship?"
"No, the relationship between the rebels and Yasha County is very poor." Katjie shook his head and said: "It's because Yasha County now has poor relations with all forces, whether it is the rebel army, government forces, or
The Orthodox Church and the Church of the Evil God in the dark world may fall out at any time, and they feel like wild beasts with teeth and claws."
"A wild beast with teeth and claws?" After hearing Katje's adjective, Leo nodded slightly and murmured secretly: "Maybe it is!"
As a group born with extraordinary power, both werewolves and vampires should be particularly sensitive to changes in the world. They should have felt the changes in the world, and in the face of changes, the only thing they can do is to clean themselves up internally first.
