The situation of the black market is completely different in the Empire and the United Kingdom.

The empire is trying its best to suppress, control, and even send people to infiltrate the black market and win over its members, so as to completely control the black market in the empire. Although the empire suffered some unavoidable losses when doing this, in the end

The gains are also huge. The empire has almost completely controlled the black market within the territory, and monitors the entire underground world within the empire through the black market.

However, the Kingdom's attitude towards the black market is much more relaxed. As long as the black market does not cause trouble, they will turn a blind eye to many of the black market's activities. The federal government will even make some transactions and cooperation with the black market.

, purchase some special materials through special channels in the black market, because the United Kingdom discovered that the black market seems to have mastered a special communication channel, which is not only able to contact the black markets in other continents, but can even avoid the black fog to transport specialties from other continents.

goods.

The United Kingdom actually wants to control this black market channel, because no matter how stupid a person is, they can imagine that as long as this channel is mastered, the United Kingdom will also control the future.

However, this matter was eventually stopped by Rupert Fitz. He signed some secret cooperation agreements with the top black market leaders in Velen Continent. The United Kingdom government was able to obtain some needed special resources from the black market, and the black market needed to provide part of the power.

Assisting the royal government to manage the underground world, the price paid was to legalize the black market within the United Kingdom, and also allowed the black market to move from the underground to the surface, forming a semi-open underground force.

For example, the current black market in Kabu City is the largest department store in the city. This department store is ten stories high. The five floors below are all daily necessities stores for ordinary people in the city, while the five floors above are black markets.

It is open at night and can only be entered through another secret staircase.

Just like this department store, as mutants around the world continue to use threads, the boundaries between the underground world and the normal world are becoming more and more blurred. The two are no longer completely different worlds as they were at the beginning, but

It becomes me in you and you in me.

In supermarkets selling normal daily necessities during the day, you can see people with mutated bodies buying things, and in the black market late at night, you can also see many curious ordinary people wandering around and shopping.

Judging from this situation, the United Kingdom's policy of recruiting and absorbing mutants has been implemented very thoroughly. In addition, the churches of various Orthodox churches are also helping to absorb some mutants who were dependents of the gods of the Orthodox Church, making the number of mutants within the United Kingdom

Being able to integrate into the kingdom faster, the damage caused by world mutation to the United Kingdom is far less than that of the Empire.

Although this forced administrative integration will produce some conflicts and create a gap between the two parties, this gap will not exist for long as time goes by, especially after the emergence of some special role models.

After arriving at the black market, Leo saw that the church had also set up an office and other institutions in the black market. The people in charge of these institutions were mutants wearing clerical attire, and some of the mutants were completely inhuman.

Mutations.

However, these mutants are not discriminated against by normal people like other non-human mutants. On the contrary, many normal people or normal church believers will talk to those church mutants in a very pious and respectful manner.

These mutants are special church favored ones. They are different from other mutants. They are all families of favored persons with clear records in various churches of the Orthodox Church. Their physical mutations are blessings from the gods, which makes them more prominent in the church.

He has a status that is almost equivalent to that of a senior cleric, and the more complete the mutation, the higher his status.

Basically, if there is such a favored person in a family, then the family will be recognized as a favored family. Not only will the church regularly distribute some supplies every month, but the kingdom will also provide these families with a certain amount of salary.

As long as they have a low-level job and do not violate the kingdom's criminal laws and church canons, such a family of God's favored ones can basically have enough food and clothing.

When Leo looked at the information that Sylvia brought over in the hotel, he really thought that these so-called favored ones recognized by the church were really favored by gods. However, after checking through the spiritual network on the black market, he discovered these so-called favored ones.

The God-loved ones are just some mutants. Not to mention possessing the divine power gifted by the gods, even the extraordinary power generated through their own mutation is very small. The only thing worth paying attention to is their mutated physical power.

The reason why these mutants, especially those complete mutants, can still maintain normal human thinking and have not turned into complete beasts like Leo saw elsewhere is because the political methods within the United Kingdom have left these mutants with no time.

In addition to the harsh environment of life or death, more importantly, there are two things in these incorporated mutants that suppress the mutant power in their bodies that can easily cause madness.

One of these two things is the divine mark. These incorporated mutants all have a divine mark of the Orthodox Church. These divine marks strengthen the power of their own marks by absorbing the power of mutation, reducing the chance of mental madness when mutating.

.

And another thing is the hexagonal suppressor embedded in the skulls of these mutants.

When using the Spiritual Network to check the black market situation, Leo immediately noticed the hexagonal suppressors on the skulls of these mutants. Although he didn't know much about the actual situation of this thing, from this special

The shape, surface decoration and inhibitory effect on the chaotic spirit of mutants made him involuntarily associate it with a special technological item from another cosmic civilization.

In the universe, after the spacecraft enters the subspace, there are two ways to find the correct course for the spacecraft to avoid getting lost in the subspace. One is the navigation brain from the advanced cosmic civilization, and the other is the subspace navigator.

The Navigation Intelligence Brain is a device that contains extremely high technology. Among the advanced civilizations in the entire universe, only three advanced civilizations know how to manufacture this kind of Navigation Intelligence Brain. Moreover, due to the limitations of manufacturing conditions, the output of this device is extremely small and the vast majority

Some of them are used by these higher civilizations for their own use, and only a very small part will be sold to other higher civilizations. As for the middle and lower cosmic civilizations, it is almost impossible to have access to the navigation brain.

Therefore, those middle-class cosmic civilizations can only use traditional methods to navigate spacecraft. This method is to train psykers to be subspace navigators through specialized methods.

This method of training subspace navigators is in the hands of the governments of various civilizations, and has basically not been leaked to the people. However, judging from various signs, this training method is extremely cruel, and the probability of casualties among the psychics involved is very high.

Even if the training is finally completed, it will become a psychic monster without any emotions.

The reason why subspace navigators use various methods to purge all their emotions is mainly because subspace navigators need to use psychic energy to observe subspace for a long time, and subspace is full of various taboo knowledge and phenomena.

If you see this kind of thing too much, it will affect the navigator's emotions, and eventually drive the navigator into madness. Therefore, the first basic principle of becoming a navigator is to cut off all emotional factors.

However, the emotions of any creature cannot simply be cut off through some special means, and some taboos in the subspace will make these emotions that have not been completely cut off infinitely amplified, so this kind of subspace cultivated by psykers

After being cultivated, the Navigator will also be equipped with a special item that suppresses emotions. This item is an emotion suppressor.

Leo used to be a cyborg and was born without any emotions. Naturally, he did not need to understand things like emotion suppressors. However, Leo had served as the bodyguard of the subspace navigator many times, so he was not familiar with the appearance of the emotion suppressor.

and function are no strangers.

In his eyes, the hexagonal suppressors on the skulls of the mutants were very similar to the emotional suppressors produced by the Earth Federation, both in appearance and function.

The only difference is that the manufacturing process of these hexagonal suppressors is very rough. The outer casing is actually made of ordinary steel, unlike the Earth Federation that uses corrosion-resistant biological alloys. As for the materials of the internal components,

They are all mineral materials that can be found in the vinylon world now, rather than other high-grade materials.

According to Leo's estimation, this hexagonal suppressor will gradually lose its effectiveness within twenty years due to material reasons, and the material will also be corroded due to various reasons, and even cause some harm to the person being installed. However, based on the mutant's

Judging from their physical condition, this injury should not pose a fatal threat to them.

"It seems that they should have found a manufacturing module of the Earth Federation. Otherwise, it would be impossible to create a high-tech device with this kind of technology based on the level of technology here." After analyzing the suppressor, Leo immediately made a thought in his mind.

Judgment, and he was also curious about what type of manufacturing module the United Kingdom had.

Manufacturing modularization is a key project in the Earth Federation's colonial star transformation plan. All manufacturing module process technologies had just been completed before Leo was born. At that time, the Earth Federation's colonial explorers only needed to carry a set of basic manufacturing modules to find

On an unmanned planet, by unfolding the corresponding manufacturing modules, various high-tech items can be manufactured using local resources. It is precisely because of the emergence of manufacturing modules that individual colonial explorers have become an emerging thing in the Earth Federation.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the manufacturing module obtained by the United Kingdom is a complete set of basic colonial manufacturing modules, then as long as it masters the method of using this set of manufacturing modules, the technological level of the United Kingdom can be forcibly improved to the level of

The lower level civilizations in the universe can even create spaceships.

However, just thinking about this speculation, Leo felt that it was impossible, because in his memory, there could not be a suppressor manufacturing module for subspace navigators among the basic manufacturing modules, and only some had special subspace capabilities.

Only the official expedition fleet of the exploration mission will have this kind of function-specific manufacturing module.

After Leo learned about the situation in the black market, he quickly found the secret file room of the black market that specialized in processing various intelligence materials through the Spiritual Network. He was not going to use normal business methods to buy information from the black market, but planned to test it.

With the psychic skills you have learned, you can sneak in and directly look for the information you want.

After entering the black market, he controlled his spiritual energy to resist all kinds of interfering energy everywhere in the black market. At the same time, he formed a thin but strong spiritual energy layer around his body, and then used the skills he learned to

Let the spiritual energy produce vibrations of different frequencies.

This kind of psychic vibration did not produce any dazzling effects or make any noise. It was as if it did not exist at all. It did not bring any abnormal situation to the surroundings. However, if someone observes carefully from the side, they will find that when Leo casts

After developing that psychic skill, he became very inconspicuous. This inconspicuousness was not due to his appearance and temperament, but because everyone who saw or came into contact with Leo would subconsciously ignore him, but

But it's not like I can't feel Leo's presence at all.

For example, when someone walks by Leo, his body will subconsciously make evasive movements to avoid Leo blocking his path, but in his subjective consciousness, he completely ignores Leo, as if he is the road.

It looks like a street lamp on the side, common but not noticed.

Leo also felt the situation around him, with a satisfied smile on his face. This psionic skill is one of the few basic skills that can be used in combat. Usually psykers will use this skill to sneak in silently.

Some places are engaged in intelligence theft or assassination of targets.

Under the influence of this psychic skill, all the black market's defense methods became decorations. Leo followed the black market staff blatantly, entered the internal departments of the black market, and came to the intelligence blocked by the secret door.

In the archives room.

The man who led Leo into the intelligence file room closed the door of the file room, filed the intelligence file he had just taken out, and then sat at his desk, recording and sorting out the intelligence files that had been sent recently.

Realizing that there was an extra person in the room, Leo even opened the drawer and made a loud noise, but it still didn't attract any attention from him.

In this somewhat strange situation, Leo quickly looked through the information in the black market archives. He even looked through the information that the staff member had just compiled, and this staff member always

He didn't realize that there was a big living person standing next to him.

After reading through these materials, Leo had a more detailed understanding of the current situation in the underground world of the United Kingdom of France. As for the situation of Vinaya Port and Lanxi Cong City, Leo got it from these materials.
