"The Exorcist who left the plant habitat is heading to Meishan Town"
The tree men escorted the landing to the nearest god town with an old sewer.
The newspaper published by the Diju Ren Commercial Bank this morning once again exposed Lu Li's itinerary. He had no intention of changing his route again. It would be meaningless that the changed itinerary would still appear in the newspaper the next morning.
Moreover, the road is no longer safe. The route from the plant habitat to the town is not like the trade route, which has been cleared repeatedly. Strange creatures wander around and nest in the barren land. Everything along the way may become their prey.
This place is completely different from the Hilleweg Mountains. Lu Li cannot survive alone in this long and unprotected wilderness. He can only rely on the tree people to drive Xiao Xiao away. If he encounters something strange that the tree people cannot resist, Lu Li will take the opportunity to capture him.
Dream, easy to solve.
Nearing the dusk when it was difficult to see anything, the scarred tree man arrived at a patch of rolling hills.
Meishan Town is located in the center of these hills, and Luli is very close to his destination.
"Stop here."
The tree man's dead branch landed on his palm, and Lu Li stepped onto the ground.
He put the tree man's gnarled roots on his palm and gave away all the humanity he harvested along the way.
The strangely torn limbs of the tree man and the old wounds sprouted new branches with vitality, and the sound of tearing like the collapse of the tree sounded from the inside of the tree as it grew.
A mutant lurking nearby was attracted by the leaked aura of humanity and rushed to attack Lu Li.
It was like a close relative of the six-legged monster, holding a crude weapon with its four arms. The newly sprouted branches of the tree man stretched out six or seven meters away and entangled the alien species. When it was strangled, its bulging abdominal cavity suddenly exploded, and its body was torn apart.
The damage caused by the "self-destruction" of the alien species to the growing tree people is negligible, and the broken branches grow back instantly.
An arm connected to the shoulder flew to Lu Li's feet, and the burnt joint was emitting pungent smoke like burning coal. Thinking of the next trip, Lu Li pulled out a dagger and cut off the shoulder, and glued the entire arm to his armpit with adhesive agent.
, put on the cloak.
Lu Li now looks like a stranger with three arms.
He also picked up weapons scattered everywhere due to self-explosion: broken shovels, sharp wooden handles, discarded tools used as weapons by strangers.
Lu Li said goodbye to the Shuren and stepped into the area of Meishan Town. The gravel and gravel under his feet gradually turned into coal-like blackness as he entered the hills. Along the way, Lu Li met some wandering strangers. Many of them had the same deformation: growths under their armpits or in their chests.
The third and fourth limbs.
The same pollution means that the spirits of Meishan Town have converted the town into territory.
As we get closer to Meishan Town, we can see mines and pits everywhere. The wilderness is piled up like hills of coal, and the sound of coal mining around the clock echoes in the night sky.
The church here seems to be digging for something.
Meishan Town is not a trading point for merchants. Lu Li has limited knowledge of the place and only knows that it is located in Meishan.
Lu Li could already see the light emanating from Meishan Town. He was excluded from the territory due to the strange fog that came in the dark night.
The clusters of scattered stone houses glowed brightly. Considering the massive coal resources, it is not surprising that the residents of Meishan Town are extravagant in fuel.
This kind of luxury also makes Meishan Town like a melting pot. The town is as warm as summer, but the choking smoke lingers.
The three-handed Lu Li easily integrated into the town. He walked on the cinder-paved road, looking for a gap in the hotel. Lu Li observed the behavior of the believers here. The behavior of the believers depends on their gods. Generally speaking, evil believers will follow extreme gods.
Moderate believers are lazy.
But Lu Li didn't meet any local believers until he came to the tavern where the noise was coming from.
Walking into the tavern, he unobtrusively asked the counter clerk for a room and rye. He sat at the counter and listened to the conversation in the tavern, and found an intelligence hunter sitting in the corner.
He does not have the abnormal characteristics of Meishan Town. He is wearing linen under the leather armor. No local would wear this in the hot Meishan Town.
After the guests at that table left, Lu Li took the rye and sat across from the intelligence hunter, pushing the glass in front of him.
"Do you know anything about Meishan Town?"
"What do you want to know?"
The intelligence hunter glanced at Lu Li's third arm.
“Where will the coal from here be sold?”
"This is also part of the answer... It's just the money for the drinks." The intelligence hunter raised his glass to gesture to Lu Li, and he drank most of the foamy brown liquid. "It's almost unsaleable."
The Dark Ages forced all god towns to close. Who would spend massive resources and manpower to build trade roads just to transport coal that is almost useless except for heating?
"How to buy coal."
The intelligence hunter was a little strange: "Why buy it? There is coal everywhere here. The town below us is built on a mountain made of coal. You can take them away at will."
“What if there’s a huge demand?”
The intelligence hunter showed a business-like smile: "It depends on how much you can pay me. The more you pay, the more I know."
Lu Li took out one hundred shillings.
"Any supplies can be exchanged for coal here."
Another hundred shillings were placed on the dirty round table.
"The church also charges shillings, even though it is depreciating now."
A third hundred shilling note was placed beside them.
"One pound of sand is exchanged for one pound of coal. If you transport enough, you can also gain the friendship of Coal Mountain Church."
Coal to Meishan Town is like sand and gravel in other places, worthless and meaningless, and even worse, after all, sand and gravel will not burn for hundreds of years with a sufficient fire.
At that time, Meishan Town will no longer exist.
The intelligence hunter held down three shillings with his dirty hands, hugged them back to his chest, and then took out one and returned it to Lu Li.
"I don't want you to kill me after I get a huge reward. Appropriate greed is the secret to the survival of an intelligence hunter." The hunter who was in a good mood answered Lu Li's gaze.
Lu Li did not accept the shilling, but continued to ask: "Where are the local believers?"
The intelligence hunter happily accepted the shilling and stamped the floor with his boots under the table: "When you are a miner, no one likes to sleep on a pile of fuel, even the gods."
"Because of your generosity, I will give you an additional piece of information: Meishan Town has not yet established trade with any small town. If you want to trade, Meishan Church will beg you."
Because of Lu Li's generosity and vague aura, he regarded Lu Li as a believer in other gods' towns.
Lu Li ended his inquiry, refused the entanglement of the girl with three hands, and returned to the room upstairs.
After confirming that there were no eavesdroppers, Lu Li summoned the businessman Anthony: "Ask the tree people from the plant habitat to escort you over and contact the local church to purchase coal."
For the land of light, coal is needed whether it is used for fuel smelting or for heating in the coming cold rainy season and the coming winter.
As merchants have no fighting ability, if they don't want to have accidents, escorts are necessary and they can keep prices down appropriately.
