Because he was on the road alone, Leo's pace was much faster, and he arrived at the outskirts of Ethiopia City in less than an hour.

This place is completely different from the Guga Desert and the Viman Desert, which are dozens of kilometers away. Here you can see lush greenery, jungles, and wheat fields lined up along both sides of the Savile Grand Canyon, extending into the distance with no end in sight.

Although Leo had seen information about the Savile Grand Canyon from the trees, most of the information was very vague. The main content was simply that the Savile Grand Canyon was the largest canyon in the Savile Kingdom, running through the east and west sides.

It reaches directly to the east coast and to the west is connected to the Guzman Snow Mountain. After the snow on the snow mountain melts, it gathers into the Grand Canyon to form the Savil River, the most important river in the Savile Kingdom.

Because of the abundant water source 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. When the Savile Kingdom built kingdom roads and railways here, they were organized by local tribes because of concerns.

Destroy the cultivated land which is not much here.

Finally, after repeated discussions, the Kingdom Avenue was moved to the side of the Viman Desert, ten kilometers away from Savile Canyon, which is considered to be on the edge of the desert without causing any damage to the cultivated land.

As for the Kingdom Railway that runs through the east and west ends of Savile, it is an even more fantastic idea. It is erected directly on the canyon through a special steel frame structure. This railway has also become one of the top ten machinery in the world recognized by Velen World because of its peculiar structure.

The first of industrial miracles.

However, this first position was broken by the Miracle Star ocean liner not long ago, giving up this first position. However, with the silence of Miracle Star, this position has returned to the Savile Canyon Kingdom Railway.

, making some Savile people with strong self-esteem fluctuate emotionally.

From Leo's current position, it would be difficult for normal people to see clearly this railway, which is known as the Miracle of the World, but with the blessing of extraordinary vision, the railway that was erected over the canyon was completely presented to him.

I saw that on the straight canyon, a steel frame like a human rib was erected above the canyon. The train track was on the steel frame in the middle. The heavy train passed on the steel track, and the huge force was carried by the people below.

Each steel bar was dispersed and supported, and finally they were all scattered on the stone walls on both sides of the canyon.

The reason why the engineers responsible for the design of this railway chose such a dangerous track erection method was because the surrounding areas suitable for laying railways were all farmland, and these farmlands were the lifeblood of the surrounding tribes.

A civil war will eliminate all these tribes, otherwise it will be impossible to destroy farmland and build railways.

Another reason is that there are deserts on both sides of the canyon, and there are floating sands that can move and are not stressed. Building a railway on these floating sands will easily cause safety problems such as track shifting, which will eventually lead to train accidents.

Frequently.

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 frame and steam trains. After repeated tests, Savile engineers believe that the rocks on both sides of the Savile Canyon are hard.

It is even stronger than steel and can withstand huge pressure.

In fact, Saville's engineers basically didn't need too many measurements 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 Saville Kingdom after their deaths were collected from rocks on both sides of the canyon. Known for its hardness a long time ago, Savile Canyon Rock was also used as the first choice building material when constructing palaces in other countries. Canyon Rock was an important export commodity of Savile for a long time, and it was only gradually stopped in recent decades. Mining.

Although a foreigner like Leo, who was alone, attracted the attention of the Savile people who were working in the farmland, they only glanced at Leo and went about their own business.

Because there are too many foreign explorers or travelers like Leo traveling in the desert. Although it is a bit strange to be alone and without any luggage, there were similar people in the past, so it will not arouse the attention of these Savile people. Too much attention.

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

After driving for about ten minutes, the carriage drove through the middle of a forest and then climbed up a hillside. After reaching the top, the people in the car could see the whole city of Ethiopia.

I saw that Esai City was built at an S-shaped turn in the canyon. The entire town was divided into two parts, the north and the south. The south city is the city on the Gujia Desert, because most of the people living here are ordinary Saville farmers. There are also a small number of adventurers who want to explore the mysteries of the Gujia 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. Obviously, in the eyes of these people, foreigners must be much richer than the locals, so the entrance fee was more than that of the local Savile people. Double.

Leo didn't care about this and directly paid the money and entered the city. However, when the city guards saw the coins stuffed in Leo's wallet, they seemed to have other thoughts. When Leo left, they sent local The gangsters secretly followed him, seemingly trying to figure out Leo's whereabouts.

Those hooligans are just ordinary people and are not good at things like tracking. Even without a mental network, Leo can easily discover these stalkers.

Without much guessing, Leo was already sure that these gangsters were probably related to the capture of a few city guards at the city gate. He ignored this and walked to a small hotel next to the main road.

"Welcome, do you want to stay in the hotel?" A Savile girl who was younger than Ilya came up to her and asked.

Leo said: "Yes, prepare a single room for me, just for three days."

Under the guidance of the girl, he checked in at the counter and then was led to his room.

This hotel, like most hotels in the city, is renovated from ordinary houses. The rooms are a bit small, but because of the water vapor generated by the flow of the Savile River at the bottom of the canyon, waves of cool river breeze blow on both sides of the canyon. , so that even though Ethiopian city is so close to the desert, the temperature is not hot.

After resting for a while in the room, Leo came to the front desk and asked what places were worth visiting in Ethiopia.

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

.

Taking the travel guide, Leo flipped through it a little and quickly found a place of interest: the Hebend Market at the bottom of the canyon.

Because more than 90% of the water in the Savile River comes from snow water in the snow-capped mountains, when winter is about to come, the snow water will become less and the river water will also decrease. The river channel at the bottom of the canyon will naturally become narrower, and some parts will be washed away by the river water.

The river bed, as smooth as a mirror, was exposed.

In the early days, Savile's smugglers would take advantage of the special geographical location of the Savile River and the environment on both sides of the river for smuggling purposes. At first, the River Bend Market was just a wharf used by local gangs in Ethiopia City to trade smuggled goods.

However, with the Savile Kingdom's tough crackdown on smugglers, and the United Church's annihilation of gangs in various cities, places like the Riverbend Market, which thrived because of gangs and smugglers, became deserted.

Later, some tomb robbers came here to sell their stolen goods, and this river bend market became active again. With the excavation of various ancient desert ruins, various antiquities appeared among the people, and a large number of foreign tourists and adventurers

Investors come here to buy these items, and this type of riverside market has also been revived through this antique trend.

Although there are still some illegal underground transactions in the Hebend Market, the managers of various towns are no longer as strict as in the past. As long as the Hebend Market pays enough taxes and does not cause any trouble, they will acquiesce.

This market exists, and over time, the Hewan Market has become one of the distinctive tourist attractions in City 37 on Kingdom Avenue.

Although it is not yet winter when the river water is at its lowest, as the weather gets colder and the river water gradually decreases, a part of the river bend market at the bottom of the canyon has emerged from the water. A lot of it has been stocked more than ten days ago.

The tomb robbing gangs and antique dealers eagerly opened the Hebend Market.

Just like other situations when the market opens, some big antique dealers quickly conducted more than a dozen large transactions. Before those goods had time to be placed on the market, 70 to 80% of them were bought by their transactions.

, if it were not to maintain the prosperity of the market and allow some tourists and explorers to buy something, maybe the remaining ones would be traded away.

However, although the market managers have intercepted a large number of antiques and asked sellers of these antiques to put them on the market, this does not mean that all the antiques in this market are genuine. In fact, there are a large number of fake antiques.

Mixed into the market, if you don't have a certain level of identification, it may be difficult to buy real ancient civilization antiquities from the market.

It's quite interesting to say, and I don't know whether it's because of the river market or the Church of the Lord of Creation and Death. In short, the Savile Kingdom is the only kingdom without a black market.

However, although there is no black market, some transactions of mysterious items still exist, and the River Bend Market is the place where such items are traded. However, these transactions are often disguised as antique transactions, so there will also be some unexpected and secret transactions by ordinary people.

People in the world completed some transactions and obtained some mysterious items with special powers, some good and some bad, and caused some rumors, making the Hebend Market more mysterious and indirectly attracting many tourists.

In the travel guide Leo read, there were several interesting anecdotes about the Hebend Market, one of which involved a mysterious item that ordinary people should not touch.

After Leo asked the front desk for details about the Hebend Market, he prepared to leave the hotel.

"Wait, guest." But the hotel owner stopped Leo, took out some machetes, daggers and other weapons from under the counter, and said: "It's dangerous for you to walk outside alone. I think you need some weapons.

For self-defense, 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 smiled and asked.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the public security is indeed very bad." The hotel owner smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that the security teams in the city have been transferred away. Now the people in charge of public security in the city are gangsters from various districts. As for what the gangs do...

...I believe you also know that, so it is best for you to bring something for self-defense, or go directly to the city gate to hire a tour guide. Although it will cost a lot more money, the tour guide will at least make your stay here safe.

"

"I understand, thank you for reminding me." Leo responded, revealing the king and queen at the waist, and said: "I think this thing should be more reliable than those weapons."

Seeing the gorgeous firearm on Leo's waist, the hotel owner took the weapon back under the counter and said nothing more.

Leo left the hotel and walked towards the Hebend Market.

The few gangsters not far away from him were still following them in a very conspicuous way, but Leo ignored them and went directly to the stairs leading to the Hebend Market.

This staircase is very steep. It was built directly along the stone wall of the canyon cliff. It is made of steel leftover from the construction of railway supports. It is very strong. The only flaw is that it can only walk one person, so the market manager specially built two

There are stairs, one going down and one going up.

As we all know, the most suitable time to visit Hewan Market is late at night, because the vendors in the market replenish new goods late at night, and there are more opportunities to discover valuable antiques at this time.

Now, Leo's time selection was not very good. In the evening, there were only products on the market that were picked up during the day and last night. Without particularly good eyesight, it was easy to buy fakes.

However, for ordinary tourists, this time is a good time to visit the Hewan Market, because there are very few people in the market now and it will not seem crowded. Visiting the market is like taking a walk, very leisurely, and if you look at

If you win something on the stall, you can have more time to carefully judge whether the thing is genuine or not, and you will not be pushed by the merchant on the grounds that there are too many people to see, causing misjudgment.

Although it is not the peak season for tourism in Savile Kingdom, there are still many tourists from all over the world coming to Savile Kingdom. In the market, Leo saw hundreds of tourists from various countries in the Velen world, walking back and forth in the aisles between stalls.

While walking around, when I saw something I liked, I immediately squatted in front of a stall and bargained with the boss.

Leo also entered the market, walking slowly while looking at the antiquities on both sides. In fact, his mental network had already covered the entire market the moment he entered the market, touching all the items on the stalls.
Chapter completed!
