Dawn came very early in the Holy City. When the "big lights" were on, the whole city was covered in gold, and people began their busy daily lives.
There were people pushing carts through the streets, selling snacks and utensils.
Some people jumped on the carriage in a hurry and went to work at their respective posts.
Walking to the streets of the Holy City, what you see is not only the largest number of phosphorus-spreading ethnic groups in the country, but also the hairy, clawed, insect-like foreign races that appear in every street and house.
As a proud citizen of the Holy City, although Mader has just come of age in twenty-seven sidereal years, he is no longer as fussy as before, pointing at foreigners one after another as if he saw monsters outside the city.
Now, he has become a trainee priest of the Traveler God, and is fulfilling the glorious duties entrusted to him by the God. Although this oracle has been sent out too many times, the Holy City Headquarters Church and even newcomers who have just joined the religion have sent them out.
"Work hard, struggle, and before long, I will have a place in this city."
Young Mardel is full of energy, especially the job he just got, which can give him 20 big bucks every month, which is incredibly generous.
After all, it only takes him half a year to realize his dream of making a down payment in the Holy City. When he thought of this, Mardel was instantly motivated.
This job in particular is not difficult. It just provides some basic translation and guidance services for some friendly "chosen people".
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
Mader greeted the leader of this group of "Chosen Ones" with excitement. Although his face was too young, he must be the most experienced one in the team.
After all, only experienced adventurers would be able to learn the language of Salphos in just one week, which is a very difficult language with forty-seven letters.
"Sir, this is the 'newspaper' you asked for. By the way, I looked at the church's transaction column when I came here. The materials you requested are still out of stock."
"Thank you, young man, may your God always pay attention to you."
Looking at this overly positive "young man", Lu Ping'an could only smile and deal with it. He didn't know much about the language.
He took the newspaper and flipped through it quickly. Compared with a week ago when he was just exposed to the local language, this time he could already understand most of it.
Lu Pingan looked up at the sky. The brilliant "big lights" illuminated the entire city, bringing light and hope to the city, especially when other areas were still dark.
People here go to work, get off work, drink, and fight, which is no different from their daily routine in the past. Except for the occasional sight of those "doomsday cultists" being chased by police officers, there really is no sign of the end of the world.
It seemed that everything was so peaceful and peaceful, as if it could last forever.
And here is the capital of the Theocracy of Salos, and one of the ten most prosperous royal capitals in the entire world.
"Oh, little Mardel, you're here, how about we talk about the history of this city today?" Guan Xinxian, the second person in the team who has mastered the local language, also took the initiative to say hello to the guide.
There are more than a dozen people in the entire team, and now only Lu Ping'an and Guan Xinxian have initially mastered the local language, but they have already surpassed most of the new team.
Most of the teams can now only communicate with the people here through guides sent by the God of Travel, locals who can speak some broken Eastern dialect.
Of course, a more mature team may have tried every means to solve the language problem before coming here.
The reason why Lu Ping'an and Guan Xinxian were able to do it so quickly was not because of their amazing talents, but simply because they both had part-time scholars and their levels were not low.
"'Yu Zhi'. Come on, little Mardel, is the Nine-Day War mentioned in this history book also the history of the nobility?"
The learning requirements for Yuzhi and the Black Iron Curse are not high. It only requires a first-level scholar rank and a sufficient level of "reading" ability.
Now, Guan has added a BUFF to himself, which has greatly enhanced his language learning progress.
But on Lupingping's side, it's even simpler.
"'Language knowledge'. Let me see what happened today." Also giving himself a BUFF, Lu Pingan carefully read through the newspaper full of heavenly books.
Learning a language is not a difficult problem for some professionals.
The "linguistic knowledge" of first-level scholars can greatly enhance the language learning ability, while the "linguistic knowledge" of second-level scholars can quickly "imitation" by relying on fragments of words, books, and the other party's spoken language, just like the locals
generally.
Now, Guan Xinxian is working harder on spoken English and common expressions, but Lu Ping'an can go shopping alone and browse various newspapers and magazines.
The scholar's auxiliary ability is quite effective at this time. If he had not obtained the corresponding language materials in his own world, Lu Ping'an would have learned the language even faster.
This is the starting point for the explorers of the Eastern Kingdom to arrive in this world, and it is also the seventh day they arrived here.
Most of the teams have already started their own exploration with their own "guides", but Lu Ping'an and his party took the initial capital and rented a house here.
"It's hard to cut wood without cutting wood. Our previous intelligence sources are no match for those experienced teams and high-level professionals. We need to collect new intelligence and become familiar with the environment in order to determine the next target."
It's not that Lu Ping'an isn't in a hurry, he just doesn't want to be like other blind flies looking for so-called opportunities everywhere.
The Holy City, as the capital of a country, is actually not suitable for young explorers. It is not that there are not many opportunities, but that there are too many opportunities for young people to grasp.
Just this week, Lu Ping'an observed that there were more than a dozen high-level professionals fighting in the middle of the night, most of which he could not resist.
These young explorers, according to the arrangement of the Traveler God, are going to explore more remote areas.
But before leaving, Lu Pingan felt that his team needed more "localization" and at the same time, more intelligence support.
At this moment, in the living room of this temporary residence, most of the people in the team are frowning and reading. They are also required to learn the local language, at least, to achieve simple oral communication, and to know whether the other party is intimidating or expressing kindness.
Theoretically, the guide will follow you throughout the journey, but it is not naive to expect the guide to have a safe journey.
There are also local decorations, clothes, and works of art in the room. Although there are obvious differences between humans and phosphorus people, at least they are not dressed so abruptly and look like an outsider who has lived here for a long time.
In addition to adapting to the local area and collecting intelligence, Lu Ping'an and his party spent more time analyzing the unique local power system, the so-called sealing technique.
At least, you need to understand the opponent's combat system and response methods.
All "permanent motion" professions such as runners, drivers, and awakeners in the team have also been included in the analysis. If you calculate it like this, there are quite a few. Runners are the most common part-time job in combat professions.
The one who made the fastest progress was obviously Lu Ping'an, who could "spend experience". He was pleasantly surprised to find that his "investment" was equally effective for people from other lands. He had a double harvest of local languages and superpowers, making him the first to reach the critical level.
