In the dark passage, there were faint lights and shadows flickering.
Two silver-white figures were floating at high speed. They were Muyin people, born glass people and travelers from the outside world. But now, they were just the dead remnants fleeing in confusion.
"...Betrayer...Contract..."
"Retribution...mistake..."
The flickering silver light was their way of exchanging information. Even at the end of the road, they were still full of tangles.
Different from the information they reported to the outside world before, they are not just travelers in the star world, but also rootless duckweeds... Their planet and world were completely destroyed more than ten centuries ago. Sinking into the abyss.
They are like gypsies in the star world, they have long lost their hometown, so what if they go there... Before everything becomes irreversible, they really try to make this peaceful world their home.
They arrived not long ago and did not bring enough wealth. By this time, the Muyin people were unable to meet the increasing demands of the greedy lords.
"Betrayal...We have been betrayed..."
"Lord...Revenge..."
There is always a gap between the truth and reality sometimes. The information obtained by Lu Ping'an and his party, as well as what the knights know, may not be the truth... at least, not the whole truth.
The Muyinmen did attack the Knights and took away some precious supplies, as well as the truth-level item, but the first ones to attack were the assassins under the lord.
It wasn't just the outside thieves who stared at the map in Muyin's hand...but there was a reason why the lord lost patience with them.
“…..Poor confused ones…ignorance…betrayal…”
The accelerated exchange of information revealed the truth. Even at this moment, the Muyin people still didn't know why they would be met with this level of hostility.
They set up glass and cement workshops, used the money they earned to relieve the poor and wounded soldiers, and also improved the local water supply system... At least at that time, the lords liked them very much. Who doesn't like a tax payer? Big businesses can still help alleviate social conflicts and increase the happiness index.
But in the eyes of the lords, the last thing they should do is "tell the truth."
"The end is coming...seven plagues...the sun..."
They have their own information channels and take the initiative to spread the news that "the end is coming". At least two-thirds of the doomsday believers in that area have more or less something to do with them.
Without their "endorsement", the "doomsday believers" within the Knights would not have spread so fast.
Obviously, this shook the foundation of the stability of the entire territory... After it was determined that they were the source of spreading all this, everything was irreversible.
There is no right or wrong in this matter, not even good or evil.
Is it wrong for the lords to want social stability and not give hope to those in desperate situations without help? Do you really want to experience a human tragedy before the world collapses? From his point of view, he is also trying to find a way out... If he can save the people in his territory, he will certainly not refuse.
As for the Muyin people, they couldn't find any hope. The foreign road they took was certainly inaccessible to ordinary people, but at least they thought that even those who died had the right to know the truth (understand death).
Neither party felt that they were at fault, and even felt that they had been betrayed by the other party. It can only be said to be quite subtle...
But now, the unlucky Muyinren was betrayed again.
"...Evil Bones...Damn..."
Due to lack of manpower, they cooperated with another local force, and now, those who are chasing them are their original partners.
"They are in front, tsk, the only glass man left behind is still running pretty fast."
The bound black vicious dogs were sniffing wildly in the passage. There were black shadow-like ripples around them. After confirming that the path in front of them was correct, "Evil Bones" directly reached out and put them back into the shadows. ,
If you only look at his appearance, no one would think that he is a super thief who has been in Yokohama for twenty years.
With a handsome face that is too young and even a little young, a robe with a medicinal smell, and a book in his hand for a long time, he seems to be a school student full of scholarly atmosphere.
But now, there are hundreds of bandits gathered under his command.
Of course they are not here for vacation. The only thing that can make these bandits desperate is huge profits or... their own lives.
"Boss Evil Bones, are you sure those glass monsters really have the 'compass' we want?"
Traveling to a foreign land without using a star ship is an extremely difficult and dangerous thing, and what is even more troublesome is the reality of darkness when you open your eyes... If you are lost in the sea, at least the body can be rescued. The reader finds that there is still a day when he can return to his hometown.
But if you are lost in the multiverse, a natural disaster or an apocalyptic world may lead to an end.
The greatest wealth of Muyin people is not that they say "we can take you to a safe world", but the reality that "they come from other worlds".
They have coordinates of other worlds, and even special props to guide the coordinates. This is the so-called "compass"... It is similar to a directional artifact that always points to a specific world in an infinite maze.
Perhaps, it is extremely unreliable and extremely unstable, and will lead to a dead end if you are not careful, but it is much safer than forcibly crossing countless voids.
It can be said that with the compass, there is a road to the outside world. After all, the teleportation void in the infinite space is always changing.
The Muyin people couldn't understand that they had agreed to share the compass with "Evil Bones" and provide guidance on the road. If they had senior travelers like themselves as guides, they would be much safer along the way.
They would cooperate with Evil Bones because they were indeed the best choice besides the local lords... But judging from the results, they were betrayed again.
"Oh, that compass was requested by the big boss of the Holy City. Don't damage it. Those stupid glass people don't even know the value of the treasures in their hands..."
A compass may represent an unknown new world, and Muyin people may have experienced many areas along the way.
Perhaps, this is not a safe passage, let alone a stable trade route... But for some big shots, it is just spending two yuan to buy a lottery ticket and have a scratch-off.
A boat ticket? Or more, anyway, it is impossible to satisfy the hundreds of people in the Evil Bone Gang, at least these facts, how can those younger brothers understand.
They only know that their boss is a wise man and has once again succeeded in eating and drinking, and now everyone is still looking for a way out.
"Boss, those monsters are coming."
Hearing this, Evil Bones frowned and sped up.
It wasn't just me and my group who were eyeing the glass men and the things in their hands. Those bandits from the outside world got the news from somewhere and joined the hunt.
"Let's go, be fast, and leave as soon as you get something. Those black monsters..."
At the same time, Lu Ping'an and his party also entered the periphery of the ruins, but there was some information that they needed to communicate with their colleagues first.
What is placed in front of the team is the corpse of the so-called "Red Sand Thief" from another world.
They were dark-skinned, tall and strong...well, let's be honest, this was the body of a black man.
"I really didn't expect that I would meet 'fellow human beings' here, and I would forcefully buy them here for zero yuan..."
Maybe, in the eyes of the locals, Lu Ping'an and those dark-skinned sand pirates with red scarves are not the same species at all... They are face-blind and recognize colors.
