Chapter 284 (4400) A Safe World

Wearing the robe of desert dwellers and riding a tall mechanical warhorse, Luo Jun ran all the way in the direction indicated by the caravan. Finally, when he climbed over a sand dune, he saw a huge object slowly rising into the air in the distance.

Is that... an airship?

The long round hot air balloon, which was hundreds of meters long, had a solid cabin hanging below and was equipped with a high-speed rotating propeller. It took off from the edge of a huge city and flew slowly in another direction.

As for the city that the airship left, due to the technological power of the industrial age, it already had the prototype of a modern city. Various tall buildings were lined up one after another. Although it was not as big as the skyscrapers in the big cities of the main world, its scale was far from comparable to that of ancient cities like Yunzhou City.

Luo Jun didn't know where his master was now, but he estimated that the people in the Holy See must have clues. According to the experience in [Wulin], the Holy See is likely to have established branches in major cities around the country... At the very least, to carry out such a dangerous mission, there must be people to respond.

According to what I learned in class, the pollution level in [Utopia] is lower than that in Wulin, and the return cycle of permanent personnel is generally about five months. Because returning to the main world for a month can purify all conventional pollution, the church personnel here basically live in the alien world for more than 80% of the year, and can also radiate to places farther away from the gate.

Luo Jun walked into the city without any disguise, and did not put away the mechanical warhorse under his crotch, and even took out the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

He didn't know where the people from the church were. Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to directly attract the people from the church to find him.

Ye's name is almost known to everyone in the Zhendan cultivation circle. The image of a half-face mask, a mechanical warhorse, and holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The people of the church should have heard of it to some extent.

"It's really a world where backwardness and advancement coexist..."

Luo Jun could see the carriages passing by on the street. In addition to real horses, he could occasionally see mechanical horses with brass shells, billowing steam, and driven by gears; he could see soldiers patrolling the streets carrying old bolt-action rifles, but on their faces, they wore mechanical masks with complex mechanisms, and they could adjust the lenses to achieve the effect of telescopes when aiming; he could also see steam coaches running along fixed tracks. The driver only needed to pull the joystick to complete the complex operation of opening the door at the station, and could even use mechanical legs to prop up the carriage to avoid obstacles...

In comparison, his warhorse here was much more complex and vivid than the most advanced steam mechanical horse, but it was no longer so out of place. At least the pedestrians who passed by only looked at it a few more times and left in a hurry. At most, they talked about the latest invention of a scientist and were not too surprised.

It seems that I am not eye-catching enough...

Luo Jun was stroking his chin and thinking, when suddenly, a team of soldiers wearing mechanical masks rushed over to surround him, pointed their guns at him, and talked a lot. From the tone of their voices, it seemed that they were warning him about something?

What happened? Luo Jun was a little confused, but the leading officer pointed his gun at the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, and his tone became more severe.

Oh... Luo Jun understood. Although the mechanical warhorse was not too incredible here, it would be strange if the police didn't care if he carried such a huge sword and swaggered through the city.

Facing the police who were shouting something, Luo Jun smiled slightly, and suddenly swung his knife, and the rifle in the officer's hand was split into two...

The officer was stunned for a moment, and then sat on the ground in fear, moving back with all four limbs, while shouting, and other soldiers fired at Luo Jun!

Although this bolt-action rifle has a primitive structure, the bullets fired are not inferior to modern firearms. The initial velocity is more than twice the speed of sound, and there is basically no possibility of dodging at a distance of more than ten meters... At least for other people.

I have been in the martial arts world for so long, and I haven't shown my real skills for a long time. It's good to stretch my muscles!

With Luo Jun's superhuman perception and reaction speed, everything around him seemed to slow down the moment he concentrated. The trajectory of bullets that ordinary people could not see at all slowed down a hundred times in his eyes, just like sandbags thrown by children!

With a wave of the crescent-shaped sword, all the bullets were shot down. One of them was even pulled back and hit the side of a soldier's face, knocking the mechanical mask away.

This move was really amazing. The soldiers turned around and ran away, shouting a few words repeatedly... Luo Jun guessed that they should be "monsters" and "devil"...

After driving away these minions, Luo Jun was not in a hurry to escape. Seeing that the pedestrians around were also scared by the gunshots and fled in all directions, he still controlled the warhorse and walked leisurely towards the city center.

In the freshman textbooks of Ningdong College, there is a basic introduction to the major alien worlds, and according to the degree of danger for explorers to survive in them, many worlds are divided into four levels, namely high-risk level, dangerous level, general level and safe level.

The safe level means that as long as you do not violate the laws and taboos of the world, you will hardly encounter danger and explorers can move relatively freely.

The general level means that this world hides certain risks and you must always be cautious and keep in touch with the explorer organization. Most worlds with civilizations are at this level, and the representative is [Wulin]. Ordinary people can live in this world, but you can't say for sure that some bandits who know martial arts will break into your home one day, or you may be affected by a group fight between martial arts masters while walking on the street. For explorers, you must always be careful when walking in the martial arts world.

Danger level means that there are dangers almost everywhere in this world, and a lone explorer must survive under the protection of an organization. The [Wild] that Luo Jun has been to is at this level. There is no civilization here at all, and monsters are everywhere. If it weren't for Lingyun City built by the Wild Hunter Guild, it would be very difficult for a lone explorer to survive in this world.

High-risk level means that this world is extremely dangerous, and even the explorer organization can hardly protect you. There is only one world of this level at present, which is [Chaos]. No matter how strong you are or how deep your background is, all beings are equal in front of the Chaos mission.

This danger level is not necessarily related to the strength 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 masters, these people generally abide by the rules and maintain public order and morality, so there is almost no need to worry about being troubled by them for no reason.

As for [Wild], although no monsters comparable to feathered have been found so far, the strongest known level 8 monsters can be dealt with by peak masters. But monsters are unreasonable. If you encounter them, they will pounce on you and try to turn you into food. Therefore, the danger level is higher than that of [Wulin]. Of course, these four levels are aimed at explorers at the high level of Peiyuan Realm, because Peiyuan Realm can be said to be the lowest threshold to become an explorer, and Ningxin Realm depends on chance, so 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, or even the peak strong, except for the special [Chaos], the danger level of other worlds may have to be lowered. As for [Utopia] where Luo Jun is now, the danger level of this world is the lowest safety level! This is the level second only to high risk in rarity. Although [Utopia] has mysterious power, in the public's cognition, those are ancient legends or stories to deceive children. In countries and regions with civilization, police and army are still relied on 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, not to mention Peiyuan Realm, even explorers in Guben Realm will hardly encounter danger.

In such a world, Luo Jun is not afraid of birds, so he simply rides Zongheng, holding Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and walks all the way to the fountain square in the center of the city.

Along the way, you can hear the loudspeaker broadcast, which uses the Utopian common language. Although you can't understand the specific content, according to the tone and the familiar words that pop up occasionally, it should be a warning to residents that dangerous elements have appeared in the city, and everyone should 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 team of armored troops trying to capture him.

There are three three or four meters tall, sturdy humanoid mechas in the armored troops, cooperating with dozens of infantrymen to fight together.

It is said to be humanoid, but in fact it is more like a big iron can with limbs installed, without even a head. Luo Jun pried one open and found the driver sitting in a tin can, controlling 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 tanks, but it is all ordinary metal, too brittle...

After repelling these armored forces, Luo Jun never encountered decent resistance again.

"Why don't you show up? Or is there no one from the Holy See in this city?"

Luo Jun was guessing when he suddenly felt a distortion in the space around him. Then, the bright sunshine dimmed, and the surrounding buildings were covered with a layer of shadows, with strange color contrast, as if the film had not been developed yet.

Only the central square where he was and the fountain on the square still maintained normal tones.

It was some kind of barrier... It separated the square from the surrounding city...

"You made such a big scene as soon as you showed up, you are worthy of being the supernova that has risen in Zhendan recently."

A male voice came, using a slightly clumsy Zhendan language, but at least Luo Jun understood it.

Turning his head, he saw a tall man in heavy armor standing in the barrier, with surging aura shining on his body.

The strength of this aura should be from the fighting school... Knight? Maybe a paladin!

But there is more than one person!

Luo Jun turned his head and looked in another direction. There stood a blonde woman in a white nun's robe. She looked about 40 years old. The aura on her body was far less than that of the man, but she exuded a sense of danger.

Spell school? No, it feels more sharp to me... It should be the elemental school, and the real spell school should be here...

As he said, he looked in another direction, where an old man holding a scripture and wearing a robe stood. He should be a priest. There were multiple fluctuations lingering on his body, all of which were powerful enhancement spells, and faintly connected to the other two.

The three people walked towards Luo Jun from three directions, vaguely surrounding him, but at the same time keeping a distance.

"Finally appeared, the people from the Holy See." Luo Jun looked at the knight.

The knight flipped his hand and took out a prop that looked like an earphone and threw it over. Luo Jun caught it and used his energy to sweep it, showing that it was a man-made treasure of excellent quality. After wearing it, it can automatically translate any parsed language, and can also translate the words spoken by the wearer into a specified language. Luo Jun put it on his ear: "It's a very convenient treasure."

Although the language is still in Zhendan, it becomes the common language of Xiluo when spoken.

"Utopia is different from your Zhendan's Wulin and Lingyi. Activities in this world require dealing with many different nationalities and hundreds of languages. Translation tools are essential." The knight looked at Luo Jun and introduced himself. "My name is Hank Howard, a paladin of the Parami branch of the Holy See. The two behind you are Bishop Jacob and Sister Salina."

Luo Jun looked at the old man with some surprise. Is he a bishop?

The two civilized worlds of Xiluo, Utopia and Empire, and the role played by the Holy See in them are both religious. These Xiluo people seem to have an unusual obsession with religion. In a world like Utopia that has entered the industrial age, the status of local religions has plummeted, but after the Holy See entered, it took this opportunity to occupy the vacancy. More than a decade ago, it helped the young Queen of Utopia to launch a coup, and naturally became the state religion.

It can be said that if we talk about the influence on the official world, the Church in [Utopia] is the most powerful among the many organizations of alien explorers.

Although the Parami region does not belong to the Utopia Empire, but is only a marginal country, since a branch has been established here, it means that there must be something to be explored here. The bishop is the highest leader of a branch, and his strength must be extraordinary.

"My name is Ye. From what you just said, you should have heard of me." Luo Jun also introduced himself without hesitation.

"It seems that I didn't recognize the wrong person." The Paladin Hank was still talking to Luo Jun. He was also the closest. Obviously, he was on guard against Luo Jun. Once a conflict broke out, he, a martial arts faction, would be the first to take the front row.

"As far as I know, you should have been active in Zhendan..." Paladin Hank asked, "We haven't received any notification from the Vatican headquarters. How did you come to Parami? What's your purpose?"

"I have my own way." Luo Jun said frankly, "As for the purpose, I was entrusted by someone 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 the Yuan Xiu Society? The Zhendan people actually hired mercenaries?"

"No comment." Luo Jun shook his head, "I just want to know about Yuan Shouzhen."

"Young man, the premise of cooperation is to be honest with each other." The Paladin stepped forward: "Put your hand on the hilt behind your back."

" Want to fight? This area enclosed by the barrier is indeed a good place to fight. "Luo Jun snorted coldly: "But as far as I know, the top leaders of the Holy See should take turns to sit in the capital of Utopia, right? The sky is high and the emperor is far away here, and you three want to fight me?" "Hehe..." Bishop Jacob finally spoke: "The supernova that has recently risen in Zhendan, a mysterious strong man who is suspected to be at the top. We have also heard about you. But unfortunately, in this space, even the real top may not be able to escape! ! "As soon as the voice fell, the book in his hand unfolded, and a stream of energy surrounded the three people. On the ground centered on the fountain, a huge magic circle suddenly appeared, and then a dazzling light burst out, instantly enveloping the four people. …………
