Chapter 51: A Means of Transportation That Doesn't Want Money
Although the Holy See of Light has covered most of the human world, and many cities in the two empires have fallen in the religious offensive, these two huge empires are obviously unwilling to become puppets of the Holy See, and they are jointly resisting the encroachment tactics of the Holy See, and they are trying their best to exclude the forces of the Holy See from entering the academy city.
In other words, as long as they arrive in Rainbow City, not only will there be no Templar lackeys to harass them, but the group that causes big trouble for the Holy See may even become guests of Rainbow City.
Although it is a bit far from Rainbow City.
The distribution of power in the human world is roughly the hinterland in the middle of the continent divided equally by the three empires, with the Saint Laurent Empire occupying the west, and the remaining two occupying the northeast and southeast respectively, becoming a three-legged trend.
There are many vassal states that serve as buffer zones among the empires, and of course, there are also many medium-sized countries with strong military strength, and a few of them have also co-opted the surrounding small countries to establish their own military and political alliances.
The location of Wang Ming and his entourage was on the western border of the human world, while their destination was in the center of the continent, thousands of kilometers away from them.
In other words, this part of the road is far away.
Assuming that you can walk 200 kilometers a day, it will be a month before you reach Rainbow City.
If you want to run wild in the enemy's lair for a month, I'm afraid that even if you call up the secret technique of thirty lives, you can only go to the vicinity of the Vatican, right?
However, if they had to take a detour, they would have to walk at least half the way, so they all decided to go straight through the hinterland of the Holy See.
It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.
On the first day, they slept all day, and Wang Ming insisted on hurrying as soon as possible. As a result, he was directly stunned by Yueying's hand knife.
In the evening. Wait until Wang Ming opens his eyes. They remained in the grove before, the sky was dark, the embers of the setting sun disappeared into the western canopy, and the star had climbed into the night sky.
In the dim forest, Cangyang was standing in front of an abyss with rolling green chaos, and the screams of countless undead came from the abyss.
"Uh, what's this for?"
Cangyang didn't answer, but increased the speed at which he poured his magic power. As the flow of magic expanded, the chaos in the abyss became more and more violent.
A distant neighing of horses sounded from the abyss, and for some reason it sounded cold.
A skeleton crawled out of the abyss, and the chaos brought out by the horse gathered a full set of saddles on it.
Then came the second, the third......
Five war horses formed a circle in front of Cangyang, and their eyes burning with blue flames were particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
Cangyang cast a psychic mist to cover the soul fire of the skeleton war horse, and then motioned for everyone to ride up.
Because the number of war horses is limited, Moon Sakura and Star Ripple are holding Feather Phoenix and True Red respectively, and the two who got the Lori pillow look very excited.
The saddle of the warhorse is completely condensed by chaos. But it looks and feels like a normal leather saddle, and the reins of the war horse are cold although. But it is not much different from ordinary leather bridles.
The only difference is that this thing isn't usually fast!
An ordinary war horse might be able to reach this speed with all its might, but this horse has already run nearly twelve kilometers in ten minutes, and still does not show any fatigue.
Undead creatures have no stamina, they don't have a body, and they can keep running as long as they are for the duration of the spell, or if they provide enough dark energy sources.
Choosing to rush at night is not only to avoid the pursuit of the Holy See, but also to supply the continuous gallop of the Skeleton War Horse for the rich dark element in the night.
Facing the cool night breeze, Wang Ming enjoyed the beautiful night comfortably, and wandered in the dark with a group of girls, which was really cool to death.
An hour later, a layer of ice armor formed on Wang Ming's body, and the cold air released by the skeleton spirit war horse coupled with the night wind, even on this midsummer night, he was still freezing to death.
Yu Huang was very happily immersed in Yue Sakura's arms, and with the warm embrace and the soft touch, Yu Huang fell asleep not long after.
Halfway through, Wang Ming didn't think about opening the flame shield or protective elemental damage, but as soon as the rune was formed, it was pinched out by Cangyang's forbidden demon realm.
"If you want to be caught by the Holy See, cast a spell. ”
Wang Ming would rather be caught by the Holy See than frozen to death, so he performed another warmth technique.
It's a pity that this spell was also lifted.
At this time, Xinglian ran to Wang Ming's side, wrapped the true red with spiritual energy, and sent it to Wang Ming's arms.
"Hold on, your pet is so warm. ”
Wang Ming, who was shivering from the cold, instinctively hugged tightly, and the warm touch made her tears of happiness.
Because the true body of True Red is an ancient red dragon, and there is still a large amount of fire element left on its body, holding True Red is no less than holding a large boiler, which is very warm.
Thinking of this, Wang Ming unconsciously remembered his teacher, it took a long time for Scarlet Yue, who unfortunately changed from a pseudo-mother to a real mother, to adjust her body, and her appearance became more ...... Well, it can't get any worse anyway.
The next morning, the crowd stopped at a small stream, and in the face of the first rays of the morning sun, the horses disintegrated into the primordial element.
If you continue like this, it will only take a month to reach Rainbow City.

Chapter 34 Human Trafficking Is the Right Way to Make Money
The next day, before the sun had completely set, everyone lined up in a column and began to hurry. Last night, they walked nearly 200 kilometers in total, which was still a step slower than expected, so they decided to start early.
The day departs at four o'clock, because four o'clock is when most of the staff of the Holy See leave work.
In other words, as long as you don't run to attack the city at this time, you shouldn't be caught. If you do, you'll be caught. That can only mean that the luck is too bad.
The Holy See sent a lot of scouts to find Wang Ming and his party. But so many days have passed, and apart from the annihilation of countless bandits, not even their shadows have been seen.
I guess I don't want to catch it tonight.
Of course, it was not only the elite Templar troops who were dispatched at night, but also another group of working people who worked at night.
They are the bandits.
After all, this is still the fringe of the Roland Empire, and the security is not very good, and the military strength of the central region of the Holy See is not enough to support the order here. By the way, the thieves who stimulated the local mercenary business and the weapons industry have always turned a blind eye.
As long as it is not for the paladins who are not clear in their brains and only know "justice! order!", the other armies are unwilling to encircle and suppress the bandits.
Let's not talk about the cost of exterminating them yourself, just the consumption of ammunition and the wear and tear of weapon armor......
Therefore, in this marginal place, in various coincidences, Wang Ming and his party saw the group of bandits from a distance.
"Thirty in number, three kilometers in the direction of eleven o'clock, all cavalry, is outflanking this side at a speed of nine kilometers. Strength prediction. They're all unranked, what do you think?"
Starripple puts down the crystal ball of the guest telescope. He turned around and asked everyone.
Yueying crossed her arms and pondered quietly: "Should you kill them in exchange for experience, or should you arrest them and become slaves?"
Cang Yang stretched out a finger: "The nearest market price of a slave is seventy gold each." ”
Tolia's eyes were full of gold, and Lilith's voice came out of her mouth: "Capture and be a slave, of course!"
Yu Huang also nodded in agreement: "Anyway, this group of scum is estimated to have abused countless helpless girls in addition to burning, killing and looting, and let them do heavy work in the mine until they die." ”
True Red can't speak. Even Zhenhong didn't even know what they said again, so she nodded blankly in the expectation of everyone except Wang Ming.
"All the tickets are all in guò, get the money!" exclaimed Yueying excitedly.
Wang Ming suddenly felt a faint pain in his head.
He rubbed his temples, "Don't you want to ask my opinion?"
Seeing the flame storm in Cangyang's hand, the second half of the sentence was swallowed directly into his stomach.
"But as soon as you make a move, those poor bandits will definitely die, or are you ready for the resurrection?"
Everyone stared at the big move in their hands, blinking in confusion.
Yue Ying threw Wang Ming and the horse forward: "It's simple, you go and put them all down, and you can accompany a few if you kill a few." ”
Wang Ming gritted his teeth and was indignant, and almost spoke out against it, but thinking that he had not won a war with that group of girls, he still chose to rush forward obediently.
It's not difficult to overturn people, all kinds of psychic magic can do these things lightly, but now you can't put any high-energy skills, you can't even use the fighting spirit, you can only use simple hand-to-hand combat, and you can't hurt that group of bandits, this is not a human doing.
It is not difficult to shoot a mosquito to death, but the difficulty is to subdue it without harming the mosquito's life, which I have to say is a bit difficult.
"Come on, you can do it, isn't it just to stun a few bandits? For seventy gold! Fight!" Wang Ming began self-hypnosis, and when his eyes opened again, his pupils had turned golden, and the words "Caroline" were even faintly printed on them.
To stun a person, you have to attack their weak points without damaging their roots, which is very difficult for ordinary people.
But everything is possible, and this possibility happened at the moment when Wang Ming and the first thief passed by.
Wang Ming dodged the oncoming spear, the Night Death Reaper held it in his hand, and then gently sent his right hand forward. The hilt of the sword slammed between the thief's chest and abdomen, and the trembling of the diaphragm directly suffocated the poor thief, and he fell from his horse.
Alps lifted up, and the end of the staff brushed the chin of the second bandit, because the control zhì was strong, so the thief only lost the control of his feet, otherwise his jaw would have crumbled into a puddle like a crumb.
The third thief was slapped on the side of his neck by the spine of the black sword, Wang Ming's hand shook, and he almost slashed down with the sword he was used to. The carotid artery was compressed, and the bandit's eyes went black, and he also fell.
Under his command, none of the bandits with scattered formations or no formation at all could survive a single attack, and they were all knocked off their horses.
By the time Yueying and the others arrived slowly, the ground was already full of bandits who had been put down by Wang Ming.
"How much is thirty times seven...... Two thousand one? Oh roar roar. Earn a lot of money. Our next goal is to wipe out all illegal armed forces on the mainland!"
Looking at the yelling Tsukizakura. Wang Ming was too lazy to say anything.
After summoning a large bucket of ice water and waking up the former bandits, Wang Ming took out the ropes and asked them to tie them to each other, carefully checked the knots, put them on horseback, and slowly drove to the nearest town.
Because the horses of these bandits were all inferior horses, they only walked less than a hundred kilometers that night, and waited until dawn. They finally arrived at a small stronghold.
The fortress had been transformed into a large military town, otherwise the poor bandits would have had to spend a morning jolting on horseback to a nearby medium-sized city. Of course, it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse, after all, if it is sold here, it may be directly filled into the cannon fodder troops of the fortress.
Ten years ago, there would have been nothing in the fortress except various military facilities, but now it has been developed for many years, and all kinds of civilian facilities have been built.
Let's say, the slave market.
Under the hint of Starripple's psionic power. The bandits were sold for eighty gold each, and the squad's fortune increased by another two thousand four hundred glittering gold coins.
Tsukizakura, who has earned a lot of money, is extremely excited. Urging the team on, searching for any humanoids in their path.
Wang Ming stood on the side, his upper and lower eyelids constantly colliding, and they would close at any time. He hadn't slept for twenty hours straight, and last night he had driven out another night of slaves, and maybe the next second he would fall into peace.
The officer in charge of the procurement held back his fear, looked down at the portraits on the wanted post, then looked up and down, repeating the process.
After the new version of the wanted notice was distributed, it was unlikely that people would wander around the streets, and the new version of the painting style could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds compared to the old version, as long as you are not blind, you can recognize that this group of people is 99.9% similar to the avatar on the wanted post.
Yu Huang hurriedly cast a [Illusion Fan Painting], blurring the portrait on the wanted notice and turning it into a blurry mess.
The officer rubbed his eyes, and then he was surprised to find that the wanted warrant in his hand had turned into a mosaic.
But when he looked up again, he was greeted by a row of wanted notices on the wall.
Wang Ming didn't know what expression to use, he drew his black sword and prepared to break through, and the Alps on his back also began to spontaneously chant a lengthy incantation.
But as soon as the figure flashed, the wanted notice disappeared from the wall.
Despite the extremely short time of his appearance, Wang Ming still saw a picture that was not very clear. It was a man in a white robe, with a knee-length red robe draped over his right shoulder, and the hood on his head was so obvious and looked very sleek despite the distance.
"Is hooding trending this year?"
Hearing Wang Ming's muttering, Yue Ying pulled up the hood behind his mage robe and slammed it on his head.
Under the illusion + psionic camouflage system jointly formed by Xinglian and Yuhuang, the group walked out of the fortress safely.
"Did you see that there are two ballistas on it, if we just started it, do you think we should not be able to handle this thing?"
Xing Lian pointed to the tower in the crystal ball and asked Wang Ming.
Wang Ming weighed his catties: "I guess...... Unstoppable. ”
To protect against long-range physical damage, there is really no effective means in the fifth-level protective spell, and there is a spell called [Secondary Sky-Covering Mirror] at the sixth level, which is not bad for the defense of the ballista, but Wang Ming, as a second-order mage, can only look up to this distant spell.
Although he could cast fifth-order spells with the blessing of the Crimson Moon Robe, the threshold between the sixth and fifth orders was not ordinarily high, if there was a stream between the first and second orders, then the distance between the fifth and sixth orders was the entire galaxy.
While thinking about ways to speed up the upgrade, Wang Ming walked to the far east.
―――――――――――― a month passed, and the group of slave traders finally arrived at the borders of the Roland Empire.
On August 4th, they crossed the border and entered the territory of the Duchy of Dusk, and on the fifth of August, they arrived at the capital of the Dusk Mountain Dusk, and had dinner with the Duke of Dusk, extorting a large amount of pocket money by the way, on the sixth of August. They go through the formalities to enter Rainbow City. August 7th. This group of slave traders who caused the collapse of the underworld in the Roland Empire are already standing on the teleportation array leading to the Floating City.
To use other expressions, in fact, their itinerary should be like this - on August 4th, they made a ticket on the border and arrested thirteen robbers, and on August 5th, because the security of the Dusk Mountain Principality was too good, they did not catch any of them, in order to save a dinner. They turned ninety degrees and ran to the capital. On the 6th of August, Yueying couldn't stand the long formalities, so she led Cangyang and Xinglian out again, and ran back two hours later with a three-digit slave.
If it weren't for the fact that all the robbers' dens in the vicinity had been swept away, the only explanation Wang Ming could think of was that Yueying had just ransacked a town.
"Look, such a strong slave, even if you sell a hundred gold coins, it's not too much!"
Wang Ming rubbed his head: "Eldest sister...... When did the territory of the Dusk Mountain Principality become so unpeaceful?"
Yueying shook her hand and said, "It's not caught here, Zi Ma's security is too good, we haven't found any of them for a long time." In the end, I went south to find it. ”
The smile on her face seemed a little embarrassed.
Only then did Wang Ming notice that the group of slaves had tattoos on their bodies.
A terrible guess immediately came to his mind: "Could it be that they are the primitive tribes of the south?"
Yueying looked away in embarrassment, and her laughter was a little stiff: "Well." Well, I still admire the colonists......"
Wang Ming couldn't bear it anymore, and his whole body was lit with golden flames: "What is the difference between you and those invaders!! you really went to plunder the population!! do you know what the people of southern Xinjiang call you, call you elves and devils!!
Cangyang overturned Wang Ming's statement expressionlessly: "This group of people is a tribal warrior in southern Xinjiang. ”
Wang Ming: "Sure enough!"
Cangyang continued to overthrow expressionlessly: "They were robbing other tribes at that time. ”
Wang Ming was sure that he couldn't find any useful information from that poker face: "Ghost only believes." ”
Cangyang continued to brainwash expressionlessly: "That tribe has almost been robbed, and everyone has fled, so we brought back all the valuable things, and then carried out the lost and found in Rainbow City." ”
It took Wang Ming a while to remember that Southern Xinjiang was at least 2,000 kilometers away from Rainbow City, regardless of whether the Imperial Coalition forces of the Southern Expedition would let the Lord come over, the cost of a trip to and from the transport team alone would cover these things, right?
Cangyang explained expressionlessly: "There is a pure gold statue in the lost property. ”
Yu Huang's eyes glowed with gold: "Good grab!"
Lilith slapped Toria on the thigh, "Where did you grab it?
Wang Ming is even more outrageous: "How big is the golden statue? Is it pure gold? Is there any inlaid gems?"
Cangyang took out a small golden statue the size of an egg from his pocket, and everyone who saw the size of the golden statue immediately lowered their heads.
Yue Ying lay down on the bench at the certificate office, and stretched her waist elegantly: "I'm tired and tired, even if I sit in the teleportation array, I'm still tired......"
Cangyang appeared expressionlessly from behind Yueying: "If you don't want to sit in the teleportation array, you can also choose to ride a griffin for ten hours, I promise that when you come down, you won't even be able to walk." ”
Xinglian walked over with a drink and handed a glass of juice to Yueying: "Mia, go sell the slaves, the visa is almost ready, we won't wait for you if it's too late." ”
Wang Ming has been tossed half-dead by this group of otherworldly creatures, and now he can escape from here, of course he is willing.
"Then I'll leave for a while...... Give me a drink?"
Xinglian handed Wang Ming a gorgeous gilt silver cup with various colored gems embedded in the cup. Wang Ming took a sip, and it was cold and white.
――――――――――――
Wang Ming is a person who speaks without a brain, or rather, he is a person without a brain.
The intuitive expression is that Wang Ming often speaks out his heart.
"Ah, if you sell slaves in the Twilight Mountains, you will definitely be bought by Rainbow City as real materials, right? It is said that many real projects now use vivisection...... I heard that someone has developed a technique to drive puppets with the soul of a living person last month, so maybe I can separate the soul and body and sell it......"
Wang Ming walked and suddenly found that there was no one behind him.
Looking down, he saw the group of slaves all kneeling on the ground.
"Don't sell us, sir!
"Whether it's mining or logging, we will, please don't sell us!"
"I'll do a little wrought iron, sir, please bypass us!"
"We were forced to do this!"
“......”
Wang Ming was very embarrassed, if he didn't let them go, his conscience wouldn't let him go, if Wang Ming let them go, Yueying would definitely not let him go.
"In life, sometimes you have to do something that goes against your heart......"
Wang Ming sighed.
He then summoned hundreds of skeleton soldiers and escorted the slaves on.
A stream of blue mana outlined a chamber, framing everyone in the chamber, and through the transparent magical barrier beneath their feet, the ground could be seen moving away.
Wang Ming knelt down in front of Yueying: "Big ...... Big sister, if you're going to punish me...... Please punish me with one is enough...... Those slaves are innocent......"
Yue Ying mobilized almost all the "upbringing", "calmness", "restraint" and the like since she was born, and only then did she suppress the urge to kick Wang Ming out of the air.
"You say...... Just because of your boring justice, you threw all 10,000 gold coins into the water?"
The blood vessels on the top of the girl's head throbbed suddenly.
“...... That's people, not goods............"
Wang Ming gently squeezed out a retort from between his teeth that only he could hear.
Yue Ying didn't restrain this time, and kicked Wang Ming's shoulder, making him stick to the side wall like a gecko.
Yueying gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to draw her longbow and make up for a few arrows: "You should be a good person for the rest of your life!
As he spoke, he took Cangyang's hand and disappeared in place.
Wang Ming swallowed the blood in his mouth: "Sister Xie spares her life......"
Feather Phoenix only reacted at this time, and ran over with two healing spells, but was tripped by Toria's foot halfway through, and threw herself face down on the ground.
She didn't feel any pain, struggled to crawl to Wang Ming's side, and pressed the two healing light balls in her hand on Wang Ming's body.
Wang Ming raised his head and saw Yu Huang staring at himself with a nosebleed and smirking.
"Aren't you in pain?" Wang Ming looked at her in horror at the red water flow like the opening of the Three Gorges Gate on the tip of her nose.
“...... It hurts...... Of course it hurts!
Five minutes later, the crowd rose to an altitude of 700 meters. (To be continued......)
