Chapter 440 Bad Start
The journey out of the Holy City was smooth, or rather, too smooth.
There is no need to go through the customs clearance procedures. When the foreign travelers leave, they don't take the normal path. They take the "God's Road".
The god of travel, the people of the Eastern Kingdom chose this god, of course there is a reason, his priesthood includes "travel", and the priority is extremely high.
That means, when necessary, his church and God's Domain can provide extremely high "mobility".
"Now is the time when it is necessary. The disintegration of the world's defense rules has made many originally restricted abilities unimpeded."
Back then, when the explorers entered the Kingdom of God, they left their home planet first, so naturally it was not unnecessary.
It is extremely difficult for the evil gods to dig holes in the earth, and the cost of sending something over is also extremely high. Basically, they are bound to lose money, and they may be chased back to their hometown.
"Teleportation across space" was originally prohibited by the rules of the world, or in other words, forcibly tearing apart the space was a provocation and destruction of the world.
If the explorers are on the surface, they will have to pay a huge price to enter the Kingdom of God, but after leaving the home planet, teleportation becomes very easy.
This is basically the case in other worlds, most of which have an "immune system". The destination of Lu Ping'an and his party does not.
When they entered this planet, they were directly transmitted from the kingdom of God in the sky, and they arrived at the headquarters of the Church of the God of Travel very easily.
This means that the planet's space defense system cannot be said to be rock-solid, at least it is as if it were nothing.
I'm afraid that all kinds of monsters, ghosts, evil gods and demons can easily come to this world, but this is a good thing for outsider explorers.
The priesthood of the God of Travel has travel, but before, even if the divine power was exhausted, teleportation was extremely limited. Now, teleportation between various "church (station)" has become cheap and stable.
Perhaps the God of Travel is not a good priesthood, nor can it provide explorers with any powerful military resources, but just a "fast travel" makes "explorers" from other countries envious.
With the Explorer qualification, it is quite simple to borrow the teleportation service.
But when they just walked out of the dilapidated church, everyone felt a strong discomfort, or
".That's right."
Walking out of the ruined church, the destination is a long night, but it is not true silence.
The starry sky above the head guides the way, the bright double moons are too eye-catching, and the roar of beasts, the sound of the wind, and the faint screams together constitute the main theme outside this area.
A quiet night is not really quiet.
"Scream? Is it a human voice?"
A group of people just arrived in Outland when they noticed something was wrong
A few kilometers away, there is a place where black smoke and red light gather, which is also the source of the screams.
"Go, go and have a look."
The muddy mountain road was a bit difficult to walk, and it took time for everyone to adapt to the situation of walking at night with lanterns. It was already too late when they arrived at the location.
The dilapidated carriage became a piece of waste. In addition to the corpses at the messy killing scene, there were also strange herds of beasts and mutilated corpses.
The carriages were piled up to look like a wall, and the dilapidated wooden boards formed a simple protective layer. Two bonfires were lit at the forefront, but obviously, they did not show the ability to disperse wild beasts.
The gray beasts were foraging on the dark ruins, biting and rummaging for pieces of meat on the ground.
And when the outsiders arrived, green eyes looked at them one by one. The silver moon, the night, and the greedy green pupils together constituted this ruthless world.
"...kill them."
The battle is doomed from the moment it begins.
Some slightly demonized beasts can't stop the professionals' charge at all.
Lu Pingan immediately took over one, threw it to the ground, and turned it into a flower of flesh and blood.
He shook his head, giving the young man the opportunity to fight.
The battle lasted for a minute before it was over, and then, it took even more time to clean up the battlefield.
"They're all ordinary people, they look like they're dressed as merchants, and there are two with low-level enchanted weapons, maybe they're mercenaries or militiamen."
It was a group of demonized dog-like beasts that attacked the caravan.
The initially demonized beasts were not strong enough to impress Lu Pingan and his party, so a cat could easily handle it.
But for ordinary people, it is quite deadly. It can be seen that they were suddenly attacked when they were resting at night. Those fires to drive away wild beasts are meaningless to Warcraft.
The corpses were cleared out one by one, and eleven lives ended in meaningless wild.
The next moment, the sudden shouts and the sound of horseshoes outside attracted everyone's attention.
A knight with black armor came out quickly from the night, and the leader was a red-haired female knight.
"Don't move! This is Shi Lai leading the Radiant Fire Knights. We have received a request for help from a wild beast attack. Who are you!"
The beast is wearing armor, and the knight is holding torches and enchanted weapons. It seems to be well equipped.
They kept a safe distance, but they kept aiming at Lu Ping'an and his party with muskets and crossbows in their hands.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out, but it still didn't start. The female knight stretched out her hand to stop her subordinates who were about to move.
"We are foreign scholars who have just come out of the abandoned church of the God of Travellers. We are botanists who came to the forest area to look for plants. This is our letter of introduction and customs clearance documents."
At this moment, Lu Pingan was already prepared. He took out the document that he had prepared for a long time, and then threw it over according to their requirements.
And one by one the torches approached, illuminating the corpses on the ground, as well as the corpses of those beasts, as well as the scars where the businessman died from the mouth of the beasts.
In addition, the help-seeker among the merchants said that they were attacked by wild beasts, which was more convincing.
"You guys are outsiders?"
The next moment, without knowing which sensitive nerve was touched, the arrow that had been hanging down was lifted up to aim again, and anger appeared on the faces of the knights.
This is obviously a reality that cannot be concealed, and the racial differences are too obvious.
"Outsiders? Of course, we came here specially for Shi Lai, and we just came from the Holy Capital today."
"today."
The female knight confirmed the date on the letter, and at the same time, whispered behind her.
"Is it them?"
"No, although they are all exotic races, they are not the same species. Those guys are smaller."
Finally, the female knight breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Lu Ping'an and his party were collecting the corpse and preparing to lay it down in the ground, she became more friendly.
"Come with us, we are the guardian knights of Shilei, please forgive us for being overly cautious, a lot of things have happened recently, a lot."
After the initial unpleasant meeting, the subsequent communication became relatively friendly. But Lu Pingan noticed that the knights always kept a certain safe distance and occupied the siege position, and they were still on guard.
But soon, Lu Pingan knew that there was a reason for such vigilance. If it was him, he might have gone too far.
"A group of outsiders under the guise of philanthropists attacked and looted the local lords and wealthy businessmen, and then ran away with their treasures. We are tracking them down."
The narration of the female knight Catherine is full of helplessness and exhaustion.
It has been a year or two since a group of outsiders came to this remote city. They built workshops and helped the poor and were very respected.
But just three days ago, they suddenly gave up their "charity", without any warning, they attacked the local wealthy businessmen and nobles, stole some things, and ran away.
It was said that Lu Ping'an and everyone looked at each other. This seemed to be a random disaster, but it seemed to have something to do with him and his party.
Obviously, this is also a group of foreign visitors, and they may even be of the same race on Earth, but obviously, they lost confidence in continuing to operate here, tried to recover the cost as much as possible, and then ran away.
As for whether it has been true charity all along, but it turned out that there was a reason for the incident and chose to run away, or it was originally collected information under the guise of charity, now everyone knows too little, and it is difficult to make a judgment.
This is not good news for Lu Ping'an and his party. I don't know if they managed to get some "treasures", but they ran in such a hurry that the situation was obviously not good.
And their "betrayal" naturally caused both spiritual and physical harm to the locals. It is no wonder that these knights looked at themselves and their party so unkindly.
But Lu Pingan knew how to open the window at this time.
"We are the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce, not charity. What we pay attention to is fair trade. Your Excellency, are you interested in seeing our goods?"
