Chapter 435 Arriving in a Foreign Land
Dawn in the holy city came very early, when the "big lights" came on, the whole city was covered in gold, and people started their busy daily life.
Some people were pushing small carts, walking around the streets, selling snacks and utensils.
Some people jumped into the carriage in a hurry and went to work at their respective posts.
Walking on the streets of the holy city, it is not only the most phosphorus-spreading ethnic group in the country that catches the eye, but also those long-haired, clawed, and bug-like foreigners appearing in the streets and houses.
As a proud man of the Holy City, although Mader, who has just grown up in twenty-seven stellar years, is no longer as fussy as he was back then, pointing at each of the foreigners as if he saw monsters outside the city.
Now, he has become an apprentice priest of the God of Travelers, and is fulfilling the glorious duties entrusted to him by the gods. Although there are too many oracles, the church in the Holy City Headquarters has even sent out newcomers who have just joined the church.
"Work hard, work hard, and soon, I will have a place in this city."
The young Mader is full of energy, especially for this new job. He can give 20 big money every month, which is unbelievably generous.
Forget it, he only needs to work for the first half of the year, and he can realize his dream. When he thinks of paying a down payment in the Holy City, Mader instantly bursts with motivation.
Especially this job is not difficult, it just provides some basic translation and guide services for some friendly "God Chosen".
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
Madele greeted the leader of this group of "God Chosen" with excitement. Although his face was too young, he must be the most experienced in the team.
After all, only experienced adventurers can learn Saphos in just one week, which is an extremely difficult language with forty-seven letters.
"Sir, this is the 'newspaper' you asked for. By the way, I checked the church's trading column when I came here. The materials you asked for are still out of stock."
"Thank you, young man, and may your God always watch over you."
Seeing this overly active "boy", Lu Pingan could only respond with a smile, and he didn't know much about phosphorus.
He took the newspaper and quickly flipped through it. Compared with a week ago when he first came into contact with the local language, this time, he can already understand most of it.
Lu Pingan looked up at the sky, the brilliant "big lights" illuminated the whole city, bringing light and hope to the city, especially when other areas were still dark,
People here go to work, get off work, drink, fight, and there is no difference from the daily life of the past. Except for those "doomsday believers" who are chased by police officers by chance, there is really no sign of the end of the world.
It seems that everything is so peaceful and peaceful, as if it can last forever.
And here is the capital of the Theocracy of Salos, and it is also one of the ten most prosperous capitals in the entire world.
"Oh, little Mader, you are here. How about we talk about the history of this city today?" Guan Xinxian, the second in the team who has mastered the local language, also took the initiative to say hello to the guide.
There are more than a dozen people in the entire team, and now only Lu Pingan and Guan Xinxian have initially mastered the local language, but they are already stronger than most of the newcomers.
Most of the team can only communicate with the people here with the guides sent by the God of Travel, the locals who can speak some poor Eastern dialect.
Of course, a more mature team may have tried to solve the language problem before coming here.
And the reason why Lu Ping'an and Guan Xinxian were able to get it done so quickly was not because of their amazing talents or anything, it was simply because both of them had part-time jobs as scholars, and their level was not low.
"'Yuzhi'. Come on, little Mader, is the Nine-Day War mentioned in this history book also the history of nobles?"
Language knowledge, black iron spells, learning requirements are not high, only a first-level scholar rank is required, and at the same time, there is a sufficient level of "reading" ability.
Now, someone Guan added a BUFF to himself, which greatly enhanced his language learning progress.
But on Lu Ping'an's side, it was even simpler.
"'Language'. Let me see what happened today." Also throwing a BUFF to himself, Lu Pingan seriously read the newspapers full of bibles.
Learning a language is not a problem for some professionals.
The "language knowledge" of the first-tier scholars can greatly strengthen the language learning ability, while the "language knowledge" of the second-tier scholars can quickly "imitate" with a few words, books, and the spoken language of the other party, just like a local generally.
Now, Guan Xinxian, who is working harder, is still working hard on spoken English and common expressions, but Lu Pingan can go shopping alone and browse various newspapers and magazines.
The scholar's auxiliary ability is quite effective at this time. If it is not for the lack of corresponding language materials in his own world, Lu Ping'an can learn the language faster.
This is the starting point for the explorers of the Eastern Kingdom to arrive in this world, and it is also the seventh day of their arrival here.
Most of the teams have already brought their own "guide" and started their own exploration, but Lu Ping'an and his party took the initial funds and rented a house to live here.
"Sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping wood. Our previous intelligence sources are not as good as those experienced teams and high-level professionals. We need to collect new intelligence and familiarize ourselves with the environment before we can determine our next target."
It's not that Lu Pingan is in a hurry, he just doesn't want to be like other blind flies looking for so-called opportunities everywhere.
The holy city, as the capital of a country, is actually not suitable for young explorers. It is not because there are not many opportunities, but because there are too many opportunities for young people to grasp.
Just this week, Lu Pingan himself observed that there were more than a dozen high-level professionals fighting in the middle of the night, and most of them were the ones he couldn't resist.
These young explorers, according to the arrangements of the Traveler God, are going to explore more remote areas.
But before leaving, Lu Pingan felt that his team needed more "localization" and at the same time, more intelligence support.
At this moment, in the living room of this temporary residence, most of the team members are frowning and reading books. They are also required to learn the local language, at least, to achieve simple oral communication, to know whether the other party is threatening you or expressing friendliness.
In theory, the guide will follow the whole journey, but it is not so naive to rely on the guide for a safe journey.
In the room, there are also local decorations, clothing, and artwork. Although humans are obviously different from the Phosphorus, at least they are not so obtrusively dressed, looking like an outsider who has lived here for a long time.
In addition to adapting to the local area and collecting information, Lu Pingan and his party spent more time analyzing the local unique power system, the so-called sealing technique.
At least, you need to understand the opponent's combat system and coping methods.
All the "perpetual motion" occupations in the team, such as runners, riders, and enlightened ones, have also been included in the analysis. In this way, there are quite a few. Runners are the most common part-time jobs in combat.
And the fastest progress is obviously Lu Pingan who can "lose experience". He was pleasantly surprised to find that his "investment" is as effective as foreign people, and the local language and abilities have a double harvest, making him the first to reach the critical mass point.
"...It's almost ready, let's try."
