Chapter 284 (4400) A Safe World
Wearing the robe of a desert dweller, with a tall mechanical war horse under his crotch, Luo Jun ran all the way in the direction indicated by the caravan, and finally when he climbed over a sand dune, he saw A huge thing slowly rose into the sky in the distance.
Is that...an airship?
An oblong hot air balloon hundreds of meters long, with a solid passenger cabin hanging underneath and a high-speed rotating propeller, took off from the edge of a huge city and flew slowly in another direction.
As for the city where the airship left, due to the technological power of the industrial age, it already has the prototype of a modern city. Various tall buildings are lined up in rows. Although it is not as high as the skyscrapers in the major cities in the main world, its scale is It is far from comparable to ancient cities like Yunzhou City.
Luo Jun didn't know where his master was now, but he estimated that people from the Vatican must have clues. Based on the experience in [Martial Arts], the Holy See is likely to set up branches in major cities everywhere... No matter what, there must be personnel to handle such a dangerous task.
According to the knowledge learned in class, the pollution level in [Utopia] is lower than that in Wulin. The return cycle of permanent personnel is generally about five months, and because returning to the main world in one month can purify all conventional pollution Characteristically, the Vatican staff here basically live in another world for more than 80% of the year, and can also radiate to locations further away from the door.
Luo Jun walked into the city without any disguise. He did not put away the mechanical war horse under his crotch, and even took out the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
He didn’t know where the people from the Holy See were. Rather than looking for a needle in a haystack, it would be better to directly attract people from the Holy See to find him.
The name of Ye is almost unknown in the training circle of Cathay. The image of a half-face mask, a mechanical war horse, and holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. People in the Holy See must have heard of it.
"It's really a world where backwardness and advancement coexist..."
Luo Jun could see the carriages passing by on the street. In addition to the real horses pulling the carriages, he could occasionally see brass casings, billowing and rolling. Steam, a mechanical horse driven by gears; he could see soldiers carrying old-fashioned bolt-action rifles patrolling the streets, but on their faces, they wore mechanical masks with complex mechanisms. When aiming, they could adjust the lenses to reach the telescope The effect; he can also see the steam passenger car running along the fixed track. The driver only needs to pull the joystick to complete the complex operation of standing and opening the door. When encountering obstacles, he can even use the mechanical legs to lift the car and hide it. But...
In comparison, his vertical and horizontal war horse is here. Although it is much more complex and vivid than the most advanced steam mechanical horse, it is no longer so inconsistent. At least the passers-by just looked at it a few more times and left in a hurry. Most of them talked about the latest invention of a certain scientist and were not too surprised.
It seems that I am not eye-catching enough...
Luo Jun touched his chin and was thinking about it. Suddenly, a group of soldiers wearing mechanical masks rushed over and surrounded him, using The gun was pointed at him, and he babbled. The tone seemed to be warning him?
What's going on? Luo Jun was a little confused, but when he saw the leading officer pointing his gun at the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, his tone became more severe.
Oh... Luo Jun understands. Although the mechanical war horse is not too unbelievable here, it would be strange for the police to ignore it when carrying such a huge knife and swaggering through the city.
Facing the policeman who was shouting with teeth and claws, Luo Jun smiled slightly, and suddenly swung his knife, and the rifle in the officer's hand was cut into two...
Sir He was stunned for a moment, then he sat down on the ground in fear, moved his limbs back together, and shouted, other soldiers pointed their guns at Luo Jun and opened fire!
Although this type of bolt-action rifle has a primitive structure, the power of the bullets it fires is not inferior to that of modern firearms. With an initial velocity of more than twice the speed of sound, there is basically no possibility of evasion from a distance of more than ten meters... at least for other people. People are like this.
After being in the martial arts for so long, I haven’t shown my true skills for a long time, so it’s good to stretch my muscles and bones!
Under Luo Jun's superhuman perception and reaction speed, the moment he concentrated, everything around him seemed to slow down. The trajectory of the bullet, which was invisible to the naked eye, slowed down a hundred times in his eyes. It's like a sandbag thrown by a child!
With a swipe of the Yanyue Knife, he shot down all the bullets. One of them was pulled back, hitting a soldier in the side of the face and knocking the mechanical mask away.
This move was really miraculous. The soldiers turned around and ran away, shouting a few words repeatedly... Luo Jun must be a "monster" or "devil"... …
After beating these minions away, Luo Jun was not in a hurry to escape. Seeing that the pedestrians around him were also scared by the gunshots and fled in all directions, he still controlled the horse and walked leisurely towards the city center.
The freshman textbook of Ningdong College contains a basic introduction to the major alien worlds, and many worlds are divided into four levels according to the degree of danger for explorers to survive in them, namely high-risk level, dangerous level, and general level. level and security level.
The safety level means that as long as the laws and taboos of the world are not violated, there will be almost no danger and explorers can move relatively freely.
General level means that there are certain risks hidden in this world. You must always be careful and keep in touch with the explorer organization. Most civilized worlds are at this level, and the representative of them is [Martial Arts]. Ordinary people can live in this world, but one day they may be broken into their homes by some bandit who knows martial arts, or While shopping, I was affected by gang fights between martial arts masters. For explorers, you should always be careful when walking in the martial arts world.
Danger level means that there is danger almost everywhere in this world, and individual explorers must survive under the protection of an organization. The [Barbaric] that Luo Jun has been to is at this level. There is no civilization at all here and there are monsters everywhere. Without the Lingyun City established by the Wilderness Hunters Guild, it would be very difficult for a single explorer to survive in this world.
The high-risk level means that this world is extremely dangerous, and even the Explorer Organization cannot protect you. There is currently only one world of this level, and that is [Chaos]. No matter how strong you are or how deep your background is, all living beings are equal before the Chaos Mission.
This danger level is not necessarily related to the intensity of the world or the number of strong people. For example, in the martial arts world, although there are several feathered masters and many peak strong people, these people generally abide by the rules and maintain public order and good customs. So there is almost no need to worry about them causing trouble for no reason.
As for [Savage], although no monster has yet been found that can rival Feathered, even the strongest known eighth-level monster can be dealt with by top masters. But monsters are unreasonable and will rush towards you when you encounter them, trying to turn you into food, so the danger level is rated higher than [Martial Arts].
Of course, these four levels are aimed at explorers at high levels of Peiyuan Realm, because Peiyuan Realm can be said to be the lowest threshold for becoming an explorer, and Ning Xin Realm is very dependent on chance, so it is absolutely Most explorers actually stay at the high level of Peiyuan Realm, but have not reached the level of Ningxin Realm.
In the eyes of Ningxin Realm, and even the peak experts, except for the special [Chaos], the danger level of other worlds may have to be lowered.
As for the [Utopia] where Luo Jun is now, the danger level of this world is the lowest safety level!
This is the rarest level next to high risk. Although [Utopia] has mysterious powers, in public perception, those are ancient legends or stories to deceive children. In countries and regions where civilization exists, they are still Rely on the police and the military to maintain order. In addition, the level of weapons in this world is not high. It can be said that living in this world, as long as you are in a civilized area, let alone the Peiyuan realm, even explorers in the Guben realm will encounter almost no danger.
In a world like this, Luo Jun was afraid of a bird, so he decided to be more brazen, riding Zongheng and carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, all the way to the Fountain Square in the center of the city.
You can hear loudspeaker announcements along the way, using the common language of Utopia. Although I can’t understand the specific content, I guess based on the tone and the occasional familiar words that it should be a warning to residents in the city. Dangerous elements have appeared, so everyone needs to be careful.
Thanks to this broadcast, pedestrians along the way fled in all directions, and the houses on both sides of the street closed their doors and windows. Along the way, Luo Jun only encountered a group of armored troops trying to capture him.
In the armored force, there are three three- to four-meter-tall, stout humanoid mechas, working together with dozens of infantrymen.
It's said to be humanoid, but it's actually more like a big tin can with limbs attached, without even a head. Luo Jun pried open one and found that the driver was sitting in the iron can, manipulating his limbs, and attacking with cold weapons such as machine guns, machetes and spears.
It should be a tank in this world... It is more suitable for street fighting than a tank, but it is made of ordinary metal and is too brittle... After repelling these armored troops, Luo Jun never looked back. Met some decent resistance.
"You haven't shown up yet? Or are there no people from the Holy See in this city at all?"
Luo Jun was guessing when he suddenly felt a distortion of space around him. Then, the originally bright sunshine dimmed, and the surrounding buildings were cast in shadow. The color contrast was weird, as if it were film that had not yet been developed.
Only the central square where he was located and the fountain in the square still maintained their normal colors.
It is some kind of barrier... that separates the square from the surrounding city...
"To create such a big scene as soon as you show up is worthy of being the supernova that has recently emerged in Cathay. ”
A male voice came, using a slightly broken Sinian dialect, but at least Luo Jun understood it.
Looking back, I saw a tall man wearing heavy armor standing in the barrier, his body shining with surging aura.
With this strength of Gang Qi, it should be a martial arts... knight? Maybe a Paladin!
But he's not the only one!
Luo Jun turned his head and looked in the other direction. There, standing was a blond woman wearing a white nun's robe. She looked about forty years old. The aura on her body was far less than that of a man, but she still showed A sense of danger.
Spell sect? No, it feels sharper to me... It should be from the elemental sect, and the real magic sect should be here...
As he said that, he looked in another direction, where stood An old man holding a scripture and wearing a robe must be a priest. The multiple fluctuations lingering on his body are powerful buffing spells, and they are vaguely connected to the other two people.
These three people walked towards Luo Jun from three directions, vaguely surrounding him, but at the same time they still kept their distance.
"The people from the Holy See finally appeared." Luo Jun looked at the knight.
The knight turned his hand and took out a prop that looked like earphones and threw it over. Luo Jun caught it and swept it with his energy, showing that it was a high-quality artificial treasure that could automatically Translate any parsed language, or the words spoken by the wearer, into the specified language.
Luo Jun put it on his ear: "A very convenient treasure."
Although he still spoke Sinian, when he spoke it, it became the common language of Xiluo.
"[Utopia] is different from your [Martial Arts] and [Supernatural] in Cathay. In this world, you have to deal with many different ethnic groups and deal with hundreds of languages. The Translation Noble Phantasm is a must." The knight looked at Luo Jun , introduced himself. "My name is Hank Howard, a paladin of the Parami branch of the Holy See. The two people behind you are Bishop Jacob and Sister Salina."
Luo Jun looked at him in surprise. Is that old man actually a bishop?
Ciro’s two civilized worlds, [Utopia] and [Empire], the role of the Holy See in them are both religious in nature. These Shiro people seem to have an unusual persistence in religion. In a world like [Utopia] that has entered the industrial age, the status of local religion has plummeted, but after the Holy See entered, it took this opportunity to occupy the vacancy. More than ten years ago, he helped the young Queen Utopia launch a coup, and naturally became the state religion.
It can be said that in terms of official influence on other worlds, the Holy See in [Utopia] is the most powerful among many other world explorer organizations.
Although the Parami region does not belong to the Utopia Empire and is only a peripheral country, since a branch has been established here, it means that there must be something to be excavated here. And the bishop is the top leader of a branch, and his strength must be extraordinary.
"My name is Ye. Judging from what you just said, you should have heard of me." Luo Jun also introduced himself without hesitation.
"It seems that I got the wrong person." The person talking to Luo Jun was still the Holy Knight Hank. He was also the closest. He was obviously wary of Luo Jun. Once a conflict broke out, he, a martial arts sect, would Get to the front row as soon as possible.
"As far as I know, you should have been active in Cathay..." Paladin Hank asked: "We did not receive a notice from the Holy See headquarters. How did you come to Parami? ? "What's the purpose?"
"I have my own way." Luo Jun said calmly: "As for the purpose, I was entrusted to investigate the disappearance of Yuan Shouzhen."
" Mr. Yuan?" Hank glanced at Bishop Jacob and frowned: "We only disclosed the information about Mr. Yuan's disappearance to the Yuan Xiu Society. Is your employer actually looking for someone to hire you? Soldier? ”
"No comment." Luo Jun shook his head: "I just want to know about Yuan Shouzhen's situation."
"Young man, the prerequisite for cooperation is to be honest with each other." The Paladin stepped forward. One step: "Put your hand on the hilt of the sword behind you."
"Want to use force? This area enclosed by the barrier is indeed a good place to fight." Luo Jun snorted coldly: "But as far as I'm concerned As we know, the top leaders of the Holy See should take turns to be stationed in the capital of Utopia, right? The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. You three want to fight with me?"
"Haha..." Bishop Jacob finally spoke: "The supernova that has recently risen in Cathay is a mysterious powerhouse who is suspected to be at the peak. We have also heard about you. But unfortunately, in this space, even the true peak cannot escape. Gotta drop it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the book in his hand unfolded, and a wave of energy surrounded the three people. A huge magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground with the fountain as the center, and then a dazzling Light shot out and enveloped the four people in an instant.
