Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 628: Hot Spring Villa

This underground black market, called Hot Spring Villa, is located at the foot of a small hill far away from the lake in Baojianwan City. It is the first place where intelligent creatures gather in this area.

For those local indigenous tribes, these hot spring waters can not only treat various injuries and diseases on their bodies, but they can also use the warm areas created by those hot springs to raise their livestock and grow some scarce winters. Plant green fruits and vegetables.

With the arrival of the colonists from the old continent, the intelligent races of the old and new continents soon united together. Then began to expand around this hot spring as the core.

Just because the local terrain is too rugged, it is really not suitable for building a city. That's why the city center moved south to the Baojianwan area near the lake, which is now the location of the main city.

Soon the carriage came to a place close to the city, but unlike before, the carriage did not go to the city this time, but turned directly northward from a fork in the road.

Soon, the scenery on both sides of the road improved a lot. Although the buildings on both sides of the road seem to be some years old, they are generally well maintained.

Especially after Lawrence and the others found that one or two sanitation personnel wearing gray clothes and holding brooms and trash bins appeared on both sides of the road from time to time, they had a certain inner feeling for the local management personnel.

After all, the management level of the urban area in this era is really terrible, or that most people have no so-called urban management awareness at all.

At least Lawrence himself, apart from seeing similar cleaners in the wealthy areas of several cities, was the only one who had previously done the overall cleaning work on New Sauer Island out of sanitation and epidemic prevention considerations.

In Baojianwan City, whether it is the tourist-oriented urban area here or the industrial-oriented urban area not far away. Lawrence can see many such sanitation workers busy at work. Under this circumstance, it is difficult for him not to have a good impression on the managers of those cities.

"Why are there such cleaning workers on the side of the road here?" Safir also saw the situation here, so he directly asked Bach who was driving the car ahead.

"I always thought that except for our Sauer Island. Even if there are workers responsible for environmental cleaning in other cities, they will not be in non-rich areas."

"This is actually directly related to the Lord Lord." Bach said while driving the carriage. "Before everyone thought that the issue of cleanliness is only about politeness and face, but since you put forward a series of papers on microorganisms, especially After preventing the large-scale typhoid fever at Eagle Fort, everyone suddenly realized the importance of a clean environment."

"It's just that because of economic problems, most cities can only hire some people to clean up certain areas on a regular basis. Only a wealthy city like Baojianwan can hire a group of workers to clean up for a long time."

"It seems that I did a good thing." Hearing this, Lawrence smiled quite contentedly. This should be regarded as one of the greatest contributions he has made to everyone since he came to this world.

"Lord, we will be there soon." The carriage continued to move forward for five minutes and then turned directly to the left, and then came to a small road.

"It turns out that although this extraordinary market is also called Hot Spring Villa, it is not together with the real hot spring villa." Seeing the carriage started to move away from the building in the hot spring resort halfway up the mountain, Lawrence realized that this undisclosed extraordinary market did not exist. With those hot spring resorts, but just near this area.

After going around half a hill, the carriage stopped. After getting out of the car, Lawrence and Syfiel found a lonely villa in front of them, and there was no one at the door of the villa, only two stone monsters quietly guarding the door.

"In a while, you first prepare three silver coins of one federal dollar and place them under the claws of the stone monster on the left, and then take out two masks from the mouth of the stone monster on the right and put them on."

Bach said before leaving. "This door can only be entered by people wearing masks."

"Understood." After watching the carriage driven by Bach drove past the parking lot down the mountain, Lawrence prepared a mask for himself and Seifer according to the method he described. Then he reached out and pushed open the door.

Lawrence had tried to open this door when he was not wearing a mask, but the whole door was as strong as the same wall. Unexpectedly, after putting on the mask, the door opened with a light push.

"New guests? Go to the hanger in the house and take a robe and put it on, and then you can enter the market from the other door of that room. Remember, don't rush after entering the market."

After entering the door, what appeared in front of Lawrence was not the small garden just seen from the outside, but a small room of only a dozen square meters.

A middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s with a popular face was sitting behind the only table in the room and said in a hoarse voice.

Although this person looks very ordinary, but Lawrence's Bai Ze descent brought him to feel that this guy's transcendent level should be about the same as himself.

It seems that this extraordinary market is indeed one of the largest in the area. So now at the door can someone of this level be seen as the guard here.

Of course, some kind of phantom magic that was deployed outside was just out of safety.

Soon, Lawrence and Syfiel came to a room next to each other and took off a cloak from the clothes rack and put them on. Then they left the dressing room through the small door at the end of the house. And walked in the direction of the underground along an underpass.

"Ha, I'm really a little excited." Saifei said to Lawrence as he walked down. "I have never been to such a place before."

"Really?" Lawrence asked curiously. "I remember that you have an extraordinary teacher, didn't he bring you to these places?"

"Really not." Saifeier said helplessly. "At the time, my teacher only regarded me as an aristocratic female school student who was interested in these things, so I felt that I didn't need to touch these things, so naturally I would not be brought to such occasions."

"Well, I can understand this." Lawrence raised his eyebrows under the mask. The world has only one requirement for the ladies cultivated by the noble girls' schools, that is, to have noble temperament and be suitable for being a good wife. Therefore, it is normal not to tell Syfier about such unused social rules.

Wandering around, I walked out about 70 or 80 meters and went about three or four stories underground ~lightnovelpub.net~ A small door appeared at the end of the corridor.

After gently twisting the doorknob and opening the door, his eyes suddenly became clear. "I didn't expect this underground black market to be so big." Said Safir, and these words also expressed Lawrence's inner thoughts.

This underground black market is obviously a real underground black market, probably located in a huge cave 13~15m below the ground.

Judging from the cave wall and the traces on the stone pillars that were left behind, this place was supposed to be an underground cave in the past, but was later transformed into the present shape after being discovered.

The entire underground space seems to be 6 to 7 hectares, but it is not an entire large space, but is composed of many large and small caves.

And many black market merchants punched some small caves on the walls of those caves and tunnels, and built their own stalls with wooden boards and cloth.

"Let's see where to go first." After exiting the tunnel, Lawrence immediately looked at the stalls, hoping to find the target he was interested in. But soon a few people leaned in when they found them standing at the entrance looking around.
