The night is as dark as ever, but if you walk through the streets, you will find that there is a lot of people, just like everyday.

In this era when most people have no clock and no "life schedule", without the guidance of the sun on daily life, chaotic work and rest are inevitable.

Today's streets of Schleiling, there are people on the street at any point in time, there are hawkers and shops, but there are not many people, as if the normal daytime ordinary life is divided into two or three pieces.

It's just that the people on the streets are often emotional, yellow-faced and thin, and the long nights are devastating to most lives.

In the temporary residence specially vacated by the lord, Lu Ping'an was bandaging Xia Qin, and her right hand was slightly injured.

"How is the strength?"

"General. But it's a little weird, which one of them was killed, and a strong acid burst out all over his body. ”

Lu Ping'an nodded, then he knew in his heart.

A group of outsiders came, but they were not their own people.

The Zindaqs, with triangular heads and six arthropod-like arms, are said to wield acidic, poisonous, and water-based abilities, a powerful transcendent race that can cross the astral planes and are also competitors to humans.

They didn't have the teleportation of the "Traveler's God" across the world, and most of the original means of transportation were directly unusable due to the different rules of the world.

This is also the daily life of most otherworldly travelers, who spend most of their time traveling.

At the beginning, it has been several months or even half a year since I arrived at the destination, and the situation has changed drastically.

Their exploration, often goes there and counts there.

"They, those Zindaq bugs, should just be passing by and seeing what is going on. In their ranks, there were some locals, not many in number, but they were dressed quite gorgeously, and they looked like rich people. ”

Xia Qin added two sentences, although it was a little uncomfortable to be injured, but this level is also a daily routine, and there is no need to postpone it.

She was on the street, and she encountered those outsiders.

Then, it's normal for some quarrels to occur. In the end, it became a direct fight.

"How are they?"

"After two minutes of fighting, the knights were separated, and two of them died, and I was slightly injured."

Judging from the results, the people of Sindak suffered a loss, but Lu Ping'an knew Xia Qin, she was not a person who took the initiative to stir up trouble, and under normal circumstances, she would not kill at will.

"I can tell they are going to kill me"

The ins and outs of the matter were quickly restored, and the other party took the initiative to provoke, and the quarrel was directly transformed into hands, and then tried to kill people on the street.

Xia Qin didn't get used to them, and directly killed the two, and then the knights came out to be peacemakers.

"It's a temptation."

The quarrel or something is just an excuse, which is clearly a temptation, a test of the strength of Lu Ping'an and his party.

If Lu Ping'an's strength is insufficient? What do you need to hesitate to eradicate weak competitors? Even if it doesn't become a bloody case on the street, it will come to the door later.

The other party's directness and decisiveness also taught Lu Ping'an, a group of new explorers, a lesson. The relationship between foreign explorers can become quite cruel once they encounter a conflict of interest.

"What about them?"

"On the side of the hotel in the business district, two foreign mercenary groups have been hired, and they have some strength. There aren't many people left behind now, and it's a bit of trouble. ”

"Didn't you go to the lord's side?"

"I went, along with a few local foreign nobles. According to the eyeliner, it came out in five minutes. ”

"Hehe, that old guy, he really knows how to be a man."

Judging from the ranks of outsiders and locals, they may also be peddling "tickets" Yes, in these last days, what can make more money faster than the opportunity to sell a living.

But obviously, the conditions they came up with could not be compared to the safe side of the road.

What's more, the old lord has already finished betting, and savvy investors may bet on both sides, but obviously the chips taken out by those outsiders are not enough to even enter the game.

The lord only talked a little bit, and then he knew the general situation, and in order to avoid a misunderstanding of Lu Ping'an, he drove people directly on the spot.

From the perspective of this second group of outsiders, Lu Ping'an and his entourage are naturally obstacles. Their temptations are a matter of course, and they may not be content to give up after they have suffered losses.

In a sense, Lu Ping'an and his party were lucky, and it was Xia Qin who was found, and her strength as a melee profession was still quite good.

"Wait, I'll talk to them."

was actively attacked, Lu Ping'an was not so easy to speak, he was ready to talk to them and their bones.

While they were tempting Lu Ping'an and his party, they also leaked their bottoms, just a garbage group that was killed by Xia Qin in front of them, what did they keep to do? Give them a chance to dig into the corners of their own lines? Give locals a chance to bet on both ends of the snake?

Reason? Excuse? Does that matter?

Now Lu Ping'an is already the nominal father-in-law of the new local lord (who has fallen ill), kill those things, and then find a reason for it.

But Lu Ping'an has not yet set off, but new news has arrived.

"Did you run away? It seems that it is not stupid. ”

"I heard that it was the lord who ordered them to leave within three days, but in less than three hours, I saw them go directly out of the city."

That cunning old guy, since it has been determined that those Sindaks don't even have the ability to lower prices, naturally they won't stay in the city to "affect the overall situation".

If you don't guess wrong, it won't be long before the old lord will take the initiative to come to the door to comfort the "injured victim".

And those Sindak people were not stupid, and after determining that they were unable to compete with Lu Ping'an and his party, they also saw the attitude of the lord, and they also made a decision and went to the next stop.

"Where are they going?"

"It seems that it is the gray forest, and it is said that I want to go there to collect medicine."

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an showed a subtle smile.

At this point in time, go to the Gray Forest? Deliver food to the undead, polluting monsters, or hungry blood vines? That's a good bunch of people.

But not to mention, Schleiling is a rural place, and the gray demon forest is more famous and valuable than the territory here.

As a visitor from an outside, if you don't come thousands of miles to this border area, it is very likely that you will come to the forest.

Those Sindak people were probably just passing by, and they could catch a little more, but now they ran into trouble and ran away.

If the relationship between the two sides is good, Lu Ping'an is also willing to exchange some information to find out what is happening outside. But now, I don't know how many of them will come back alive.

"Tsk, let the cat run away, it's just picking up the corpse, and it's a bit rewarding. Since there is an obligation to be cannon fodder, I can also take the opportunity to find out if anything has changed in the forest after we left, and I always feel that something is wrong. ”
