Chapter 12: Believe in the Light
Massacre of civilians?
Wang Lu was shocked at the time, what are the things that come to Xiyi Continent now? Since the news that the key to the door to the tomb of the immortals may be in Xiyi was leaked, Wang Lu didn't expect that the group of miscellaneous soldiers to embody the high quality that a Kyushu monk should have. Come and read - Internet café,.! With a large number of second- and third-rate sect monks coming across the ocean, the occurrence of low-quality incidents was simply natural.
After all, in the Xiyi Continent, there is no Wanxian League to maintain law and order in the world, let alone the terrifying Nine Days Thunder Tribulation, murder and arson, as long as the life is ruined, as long as the clothes are gone, and the ocean returns safely, without touching the cause and effect of Kyushu, there will be no consequences at all.
Could it be that the Xiyi people can still form a group to go to Kyushu for revenge?
Since the first contact between Eastern and Western civilizations, similar things have happened from time to time, but it is really rare to achieve the point of slaughtering cities. Even if there is no Heavenly Tribulation in the Xiyi Continent, but after returning to Kyushu, are you not afraid of the Heart Demon Tribulation? Or is there really a Demon Cult giant who also came to join in the fun?
Wang Lu thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh: This is simply lowering the lower limit of the people of Kyushu, although my Spirit Sword Sect has never regarded itself as the maintainer of order in Kyushu, but when it comes to this kind of thing, I can't completely stand by and watch, let's ask it first.
Tsk, slaughtering the city, it is rare in the Kyushu Continent, but it has opened the eyes of the Xiyi Continent
"So please forgive him for his rudeness, after the Stormwind City incident, people in several nearby cities have a more extreme perception of the people of Kyushu, so the attitude is inevitably offensive......"
Although the initial conversation was full of unpleasantness, on the way back to Deep Earth City, the Deep Earth Guardian repeatedly apologized to Wang Lu, which made people really lose their temper. After a short time, the group returned to the Deep Earth City, and met the Lord of the Deep Earth City, Ser Addock, in a heavy fortress.
Sir Adhawk was a standard knight of the West, looking forty or fifty years old, and the years had carved wrinkles into his meticulous face, but his neatly trimmed beard and short hair, and his sparkling eyes, showed that he still had excellent energy.
When they met, he was dressed in civilian clothes, and he didn't have any equipment that could be called armed except for the decorative sword on his waist, but Wang Lu still felt a strong pressure in a flash, this Deep Earth City Lord was at least a high-level professional, and he was also quite a strong person among high-level professionals, he alone was stronger than the entire pro-guard team combined.
And this is also the norm for the city-states in the eastern part of the Xiyi Continent. Most of the high-level professionals are inextricably linked to the mortal world, and the lords of city-states and even realms are usually held by high-level and legendary professionals. This is very different from the immortal path of the Kyushu Continent. So when he saw Sir Addock, Wang Lu was not surprised by his strength
But when Jazz opened his mouth, it was a surprise.
"Guys, I already know what happened to you."
It's almost a round Kyushu language, and in comparison, even Aya, a heroic girl who has lived in Kyushu for decades, seems to lack some of its charm.
Seeing the surprised faces of Wang Lu and the others, Sir Adolph explained gently: "I have found that when dealing with you Kyushu people, if you can speak authentic Kyushu dialect, you can always get unexpected discounts. You value your sense of cultural identity far more than we do. Later, I found out that I also have some talent outside of the knighthood. ”
As a trade hub city, the trade between the East and West Continents is the top priority, and although Sir Haddock is a high-level professional and the lord of a city, he still carefully studied the language of Kyushu.
After gossiping, Sir Adolph said, "I believe that on the way here, my men have already told you the situation. In the past month, there have been more than twenty Kyushu monks in the territory of Deep Earth City alone, and only a few of you have survived. This situation has seriously affected the order of Deep Earth City, but Deep Earth City alone is not enough to solve the problem, I need more help, of course, I will not let you contribute in vain. ”
Sir Adolphe got straight to the point and wasted no time in greetings.
Since this is the case, Wang Lu also said bluntly: "You are the Lord of the Deep Earth City, the Great Lord of the Land of Thousands of Miles, can't you solve the problem of public security in the territory?" ”
Addock said: "If it is only a problem within the territory of Deep Earth City, I can naturally solve it, but there is a deeper force behind this matter. I'm sure you can guess that the bloodstained scroll is not made by ordinary people
Wang Lu said: "Well, it looks like a certain great power is deliberately targeting us Kyushu people, sir, you have a clue?" ”
"The origin of the bloodstained scroll is very mysterious, and there are not many conclusive clues at the moment...... Half a month ago, my men infiltrated an adventuring party and met a scroll merchant. The kind of scroll that can suppress the Kyushu monks, you can buy a scroll for only five hundred magic silver coins, and the price is unbelievably low. ”
Five hundred magic silver coins is a sky-high price for low-level professionals, but it is nothing for high-level professionals. With the suppression of the scroll to intercept the Kyushu people, once successful, the harvest will be ten times and twenty times, which will naturally attract them.
However, Wang Lu had personally experienced the domineering of the bloodstained scroll, and the method of manipulating the laws of Xiyi to suppress it was definitely not something that could be bought by five hundred magic silver coins. At least in the Kyushu Continent, with Wang Lu's current cultivation, he didn't dare to expect to be able to manipulate the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth like this, but he was afraid that only the elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall had this kind of ability, and the cost of making a scroll would cost thousands or more spirit stones.
Five hundred magic silver coins, that is, five hundred spirit stones, are basically doing business at a loss.
"I guess I don't want to expose my existence." Wang Lu speculated, "Using scrolls to instigate neutral adventurers to come and intercept the people of Kyushu, but they themselves are hiding behind the scenes. But what are the benefits? No matter how many people in Kyushu die, the spoils of war are also owned by the adventurers, who sell the scrolls and can't even get their money back. ”
"I was initially confused by that," Addock said. Generally speaking, there are only two kinds of people who will do this, one is the extremists, who hate everything in Kyushu to the core, but in recent years, extremists have become more and more rare, and if they do things, they will not hide their heads and tails so much, and they would like to fight in front of everyone, so that more people can know their own ideas. The other is that the followers of some evil gods use special rituals to please their gods, but there are many reasons for this. It wasn't until ten days ago that I realized I was confused, and I didn't notice a single obvious clue. ”
Wang Lu asked, "What?" ”
Sir Adolph smiled a little wryly, and picked up a report on the table: "This is the latest trade data reported by his subordinates, these days, our trade volume with the people of Kyushu has dropped by seventy percent, except for the situation on the endless sea, the biggest reason is the sharp deterioration of law and order in Deep Earth City, which makes many merchants and monks in Kyushu very uneasy. Although the storms on the Endless Sea have not yet subsided, many people have already made up their minds to return to Kyushu, and many others have migrated to the western interior, where there have never been any killings against the people of Kyushu. ”
Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It means that we Kyushu people have suffered from the pond fish?" ”
"In short, I suspect that there is a mastermind behind the scenes to sow discord between the people of Kyushu and our Deep Earth City. In fact, not only Deep Earth City, but almost all of our eastern city-states have encountered a similar situation, even if it does not happen in their own territory, but what happens around them will also make people panic. ”
Wang Lu asked, "Who can benefit from this?" What are your rivals in the eastern city-states? ”
"Our eastern city-states are generally dependent on trade, and do business to make friends, and generally do not deliberately make enemies with others. But...... If you want to talk about enemies, there are. Addock pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard of the Cult of Light? ”
Wang Lu thought for a while: "Some kind of welfare organization that specializes in women's underskirt scenery? ”
Adolph was stunned for a long time, and explained helplessly: "The Holy Light Sect is the largest religious organization in the Xiyi Continent, and its power is mainly concentrated in the western region. Those who can be conquered by force should be conquered by force in the name of jihad, otherwise internal destruction will be carried out by various means. For example, this bloodstained scroll is likely to be their handiwork, and when it comes to the perception and manipulation of the laws of the continent, who can compare to the Holy Light Sect that is closest to the gods? At the same time, they have been trying to annex the Eastern Kingdom for a day or two, but they have never succeeded. ”
"I see, since you have locked down the real culprit, then immediately unite the many city-states of the Eastern Kingdom to form an alliance to torture them, and burn all the Holy Light Cultists on the stake.
Addock said: "The Holy Light Sect is too powerful, we are not enough to protect ourselves, and taking the initiative to attack is even more dead. There are more than five of them on the bright side alone, far above the Eastern Kingdom. ”
"The Legend Five? Gee. Wang Lu shook his head again and again, the legendary powerhouse, converted to the Kyushu Continent, is the peak of the god or even the combined true monarch, five legends of a sect, this is basically the level of the five peers of the Ten Thousand Immortals League, if you provoke such an opponent, isn't that unlucky?
"By the way." Sir Haddock said, "Taobao City, the destination of your trip, is one of the holy places of the Holy Light Cult, and it is strictly governed and ruled...... Therefore, for all of you, the Holy Light Sect cannot be bypassed in any way. ”
No way? And this kind of thing, Aya has never said it
Aya also frowned: "There is such a thing?" More than 100 years ago, Taobao City was still jointly governed by various countries, when did it become the holy land of the Holy Light Sect? ”
Adoc replied: "Eighty years ago, the current Pope received an oracle saying that Taobao City was the holy land of the Holy Light Cult, and then he dispatched the Holy Light Knights to capture Taobao City. ”
