Chapter 1240: Little Abacus

"According to the mercenary conventions of this world, a third party should not intervene before we are all wiped out or give up the mission."

The long-handed mercenary named Li Yong in front of him saw Lu coming and took the initiative to greet him.

"We are a professional mercenary team from the neighboring Kaiwei City. This time, we are the main force drawn from six large mercenary groups to investigate the incident here."

When Lu Ping'an took out the holy emblem and certificate of the church's high-level officials, he also gained some respect. At least the mercenary who was originally full of "you are stealing business" had a better attitude.

As time goes by when the "big event" happens, more and more contact methods are restarted. Naturally, the closer the city, the more frequent the contact.

If something happens in this city, the neighboring city will naturally attach great importance to not only business exchanges but also neighborhood relations. More importantly, the convention of this world is that if something happens in one family, the next door will basically suffer the same disaster soon.

Whether it is a natural disaster, foreign invasion, virus transmission or even just a professional going crazy, it will basically not only harm one family or one city. Prediction and warning transmission are the most important way to survive.

Lincheng had heard that there was a "murder case" here, and it was treated as a sacrifice case of evil gods/foreign gods (occurring in large numbers).

According to past experience, if it is not handled in time, a bunch of dimensional gates will often appear soon, and then a dozen foreign invaders will appear. Naturally, the neighboring Kaiwei City took active action and sent combat forces in advance.

Whether it is prevention or fire fighting, or blocking the door and fighting after failure, the more combat power the better.

Kaiwei City not only recruited local scattered combat forces, but also hired many famous mercenary groups from other cities, and even "cross-river dragons" who made a living nearby.

But when they gathered, the fog had spread, and the whole city was completely out of contact.

Faced with the fog here, they were a little surprised, but they did not hesitate. The first batch of "leading sisters" had not returned yet, and the second batch of personnel had already set off.

Now some scouts and high-level combat forces have entered. Seeing Lu Ping'an, an "outsider" coming, they will naturally be on guard.

". What is the strength of your team leader?"

"'Purple Cage Hand', 'Golden Moon'."

The mercenary revealed a bunch of "famous" titles in the industry, but Lu Ping'an was confused. Who are these people?

"Is there a rule-level one?" Lu Ping'an asked directly.

"Well, Mr. Golden Moon is at the peak of the law."

"That's fine."

What Lu Ping'an wanted to know was whether there were combat forces above the rule level involved, but what he really asked was whether they knew that this matter was related to the fragments!

Now it seems that the answer is obviously no. If there are no professionals above the rule level involved in this matter, it is basically unlikely to know the inside story. On the other hand, facing the fragments without even a rule-level combat force, it is basically looking for the dead without knowing it.

Lu Ping'an was watched by this mercenary, and there were several pairs of vigilant eyes around him. Obviously, they were worried about Lu Ping'an, who was stealing the job. After all, the data on Lu's ID was just a fifth-level gardener. In most cases, he could not be used as an effective combat force, and he also had to worry about what troubles he would cause as a "church leader".

".You don't think there is any treasure in here?"

This kind of vigilance exceeded expectations, and Lu Pingan thought about it for a while before asking.

Lu Pingan's seemingly careless question did not get an immediate response.

"Ahaha, how could it be, we are here to perform a rescue mission."

Lu thought about it and suddenly realized.

I am afraid that these mercenaries have already discovered that something is wrong here, but now not only have they not reported to the city, but they are even more active. They suspect that the citizens here are probably finished, the disaster has become a reality, and the plane portal may have been opened.

However, for mercenaries, this bad development may be what they are most looking forward to seeing, the biggest treasure, and it does not need to be provided by the other world.

".I can pretend that I didn't see anything."

"Haha, what are you talking about, I don't understand."

The "treasure" that Lu Pingan hinted at is actually the "legacy" of this city.

A city with more than 100,000 people naturally has a lot of wealth and resources. The mercenaries who come to rescue can easily get a little, which may be higher than their actual commission.

If the city was really in trouble, these people would really rescue it. Of course, taking away all the property that can be taken away will give them full motivation.

Lu Ping'an sighed helplessly. This is the "mercenary", but it is also the main force of this world.

These hounds pursuing war naturally always put their own benefits first.

"Lu Tuan."

At this time, someone pulled Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an turned around and heard Mei Yuge whispering in his ear.

"Golden Moon is the title of Senior Sister Hua. She is indeed a mercenary. Senior Sister Lu also said that she was coming to join the team. It is normal to do some tasks on the way."

It is naturally a good thing to have an acquaintance. Maybe everything will be much easier to talk about when she comes back. At least Lu Ping'an can get first-hand information.

Lu Ping'an did not make it difficult for the young mercenary in front of him. He found a place to camp and stay temporarily.

I am afraid that many people have been looting and rescuing after entering. If an outsider like me saw it and reported it back, the reputation of some mercenaries would probably be ruined.

Even if Lu Ping'an said that he would not say anything, they would not believe it.

Perhaps in their eyes, Lu has become an uninvited guest blocking their path to wealth.

"No way, are you serious?!"

He gently avoided the sudden attack of a young mercenary, and then pressed him into the ground. The surrounding area was already lying in a mess.

This mercenary team suddenly "felt unhappy with Lu Ping'an" and (took the initiative) to find Lu Ping'an for a sparring match. So, this 15-man team led by a law command lasted about 40 seconds in total.

The original show of power and temptation became a joke, and Lu Ping'an received a more vigilant look.

But Lu knew that if he tried to go in again, he would probably not be intercepted. Mercenaries are so realistic. If they are strong enough, they can do whatever they want.

But Lu hoped to let these mercenaries be cannon fodder to wade in the water. Ahem, he didn't want to offend people completely before he started, and he also wanted to get more information before making a decision.

It is worth mentioning that the "fragments" played their role again, and Lu Ping'an's "eye of truth" was blinded again. He could feel that the energy of the fragments was in front of him, but he couldn't capture the source.

He patiently waited for Hua Xueyi's return, and speculated about her changes with great interest.

But from noon to night, she did not come back.
