Chapter 167 Good guy!

the next day.

Cold Hammer Town, Imperial Energy Exploration Branch.

"Ordered to go to the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon? Let me see... Well, there is such a document, and the corresponding supplies have also been allocated..."

After the staff looked through it, they handed over a stamped document and put it in front of Liu Ping and Hua Qingkong.

There is also a leather bag next to the file.

"This is an official border pass. In the cowhide bag is your winter supply fee. You are all people who have done exploration and are professionals. With the supply fee, go to the market to find guides and snow camels, and then Get your supplies ready, and you’re ready to go.”

"Understood." Liu Ping and Hua Qingkong said together.

"You're welcome, I remind you to keep warm. There are still people alive within the border. If you cross the border, if you don't prepare more heating equipment, it will be fatal."

"Okay, okay."

"Thanks for reminding."

The two exited the room and walked outside to the road.

The snow in the sky was falling one after another, and it was getting bigger and bigger in the strong wind, almost blocking the line of sight.

"Where is the market?" Hua Qingkong asked after packing the document bag.

"I've read books about Cold Hammer Town. The market should be on the east side of the town. It's a commercial center built underground." Liu Ping said.

"You know this too? Then we go to the Kingdom of Ceylon, can we just let you be the guide?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"No, the things in the book are dead. The climate here is unpredictable, and many of them need to rely on the experience of the locals, so we must find a good guide." Liu Ping said.

He played with the holy stone and took the lead towards the market.

——The bazaar was indeed built underground.

The magic bonfire was blazing in the center of the square, surrounded by crowds of people, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

It's as warm as spring here.

"To save time, we'd better split up," Liu Ping said.

"I'm going to collect all kinds of materials—mainly supplies. Those exploration things just need to be a little bit pretentious. After all, we don't really want to explore minerals and energy sources." Hua Qingkong said.

"Leave the matter of the guide and the snow camel to me," Liu Ping said.

"How about meeting here in an hour?"

"no problem."

The two separate.

Hua Qingkong walked towards the shops on both sides of the square.

Liu Ping slowly walked towards the center of the square, looking at the vendors holding signs and the teams of snow camels.

He suddenly remembered something.

Not only do you need to prepare guides and camel teams, but you also need to make some preparations yourself.

Liu Ping looked into the void, and said softly, "Heroic spirits protect you."

Lines of burning small characters quickly surfaced:
"You activated Heroic Asylum."

"Randomly select a heroic spirit, the chosen one is: Yana (sleeping)."

"If you meet the following specific conditions, you can extract a mysterious variant of a certain ability from Yana and use it once."

"Extraction conditions: Relief for the poor."

"—Before becoming the Goddess of Torment, Yana was a paladin with a heart of compassion and compassion. When you save ten poor people, you will fulfill her charter conditions."

After reading it at a glance, Liu Ping said happily, "This is easy."

He first bought a hat, then found a mask, then returned to the ground, found a place where no one was around, and changed into a suit of clothes.

Everything was ready, he put on his hat and mask, returned to the square again, walked around, looking for the target.

Soon, he found some people worth saving.

"Seeing how your life is not going well, you take the money, save it, and live a good life." Liu Ping said.

He slipped the money to a woman with a child.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something thankful, but Liu Ping had already walked away.

"Come on, this is for you."

"Take it, go eat something good, take a shower, and go find a job."

"Look at you, you need a place to live, take the money."

"Take it and take it."

Liu Ping quickly helped ten poor people, and opened his wallet to look inside.

--empty.

He sighed helplessly and walked out of the square.

This is for other secret pretenders to watch, so as to prevent others from treating themselves as a fat sheep.

Lines of burning small characters quickly appeared:
"You have fulfilled the license conditions related to Yana."

"This sequence is randomly extracting an ability from Yana—"

"five,"

"Four,"

"three,"

"two,"

"one."

"Finish."

"You have obtained a mutant ability: Holy Ring."

"Available time: 24 hours."

"Explanation: This is a testament to your incarnation of holiness and dedication. Anyone who sees this special crown will know that you are a paladin."

Become!

Liu Ping found a remote place, changed back into the robes of the energy exploration team, took off the mask on his face, and then returned to the square.

— Now it's time to find a team of snow camels.

The snow camel is a hardy creature that can survive alone in the ice and snow for three weeks without food. It is the main riding and camel use creature in the Northland.

Liu Ping walked around each camel caravan, ignoring the businessmen who were vying to introduce him, and went straight to a camel caravan.

"These snow camels are pretty good, I'll rent them for a month." He said to the boss.

"Huh? You have a good eye, and you can tell at a glance that my snow camel is the best here." The boss said, looking around.

"Some experience in watching animals is not worth mentioning." Liu Ping laughed.

Seeing that they were experts, the businessmen around knew that this business was hopeless, so they dispersed in a hurry.

Liu Ping paid the money and asked the boss to lead the caravan to the roadside at the exit of the square to wait, and then went to pick a guide.

He turned around in the square, and suddenly pulled out the holy stone from his pocket.

From now on, the reminder of the sequence becomes more frequent.

"The undulation on the stone coincides with another undulation on the square."

"The other party is following you."

--bring it on.

Liu Ping looked around, and soon found a group of people walking slowly towards him through the square.

I saw the same line of small characters appearing above the heads of those people:
"A Zealot."

"—This is a soul that believes in a certain existence."

It turned out to be the case.

They are zealots of that religion.

Liu Ping looked towards this group of people, and saw that they lowered their heads, looked left and right, and concealed their expressions.

Many people reached into their clothes one after another and began to draw out daggers and short knives.

—Do you want to fight?
If you do it, what will be the consequences?
Liu Ping thought for a second.

Those people are getting closer and closer, almost running, but the next moment——

There were waves of panicked screams in the square.

There was a flash in the void, and three half-human, half-insect monsters rushed towards the crowd like afterimages of lightning.

They made the sound of insects, waved their sharp limbs, and started killing among the group of fanatics.

The three monsters came so suddenly that no one could react for a while, and they were chopped down to the ground one after another.

"Come here, let's form a defensive formation!"

A strong man with the appearance of a leader shouted.

All the believers suddenly had a backbone, and moved towards him one after another.

The next moment-

Another huge shadow flashed in the void, quickly knocked away the crowd, swung its sharp claws fiercely, and slashed across the strong man's body.

When the shadow landed and showed its figure, everyone couldn't help but gasped.

It was a white cat several meters tall. She had a pair of green vertical pupils, and her four claws were extremely sharp. She exuded strange power fluctuations all over her body, like a strong wind blowing, making people daunting.

It’s over.

All the professionals looked at this terrifying feline monster, and couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts.

Sudden.

A female voice sounded: "Come and fight with me, don't try to hurt them!"

Hua Qingkong flew forward and stood in front of the crowd. With a wave of her hand, she summoned two fierce tigers with two wings.

When the white cat demon saw the two fierce tigers, it immediately arched its back on the spot, making a defensive posture.

The three insect-like monsters flew over to protect her surroundings.

The two sides fell into a confrontation for a while.

Then another voice sounded:
"Everyone, don't be afraid! I'll treat everyone!"

Everyone turned their heads, and even the monsters looked towards the place where the sound came from.

I saw a young man standing beside the crowd, with a warm and soft light emitting from his hands——

Above his head, a holy halo floated motionless.

"Holy—Holy Knight!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

That's right, this round of pure white halo is the symbol of a paladin.

If there is one profession worthy of everyone's trust, it must be the paladin.

Because the skills of this profession require dedication before they can be activated.

Whether it is in ancient legends or in the stories of the streets and alleys, this point is widely known!
With that halo of holiness on his face, Liu Ping showed a gentle and trustworthy smile.

"I'm here to treat everyone!"

As he walked, he distributed the light from his hands and lightly sprinkled on the wounded believers who fell to the ground.

Those who were slightly injured, their wounds healed immediately.

The believers who suffered moderate injuries, although they looked exhausted and could barely sit up from the ground, all the wounds on their bodies were healed!

As for the leader, he was the most injured, but once the light of the paladin fell, the wound on his body healed completely.

Although he fell into a coma (dying), two blushes appeared on his face (returning light), which made it more convinced that the power of the paladin had brought him back to life.

"Paladins! We have paladins!"

"Long live!"

"This time I was saved!"

People shouted excitedly.

Liu Ping nodded to the people with a smile, his eyes stayed in the void for a moment.

I saw lines of burning small characters floating there:

"You performed the art of saving lives and healing the wounded."

"You have extracted the power of dozens of fanatics and transformed it into soul power."

"Soul power +1;"

"Soul power +3;"

"Soul power +5;"

"Soul power +7;"

"..."

It's over, so much soul power, it can't be contained at all.

Liu Ping flipped his hand and hid the advanced card in his palm.

"injection!"

There was a "chuckle", the scale on the advanced card was already full.

——But it’s not convenient to advance now.

Liu Ping's mind changed.

"Pour it all into Andrea!"

he said in his heart.

I saw a brand new line of burning small characters quickly emerged:
"Awakening the heroic spirit: Andrea."

"Current progress: [-]%."

"Please continue to collect soul power and help her wake up from her deep sleep."

Liu Ping was slightly taken aback.

So fast?
——In just such a short period of time, he has already collected [-]% of his soul power!
At the Royal Academy back then, I worked hard to infuse Zhao Chanyi with soul power every day, and it took me half a year!
Sure enough, I still have to come out to save lives and heal the wounded!

With a flash of thought in his mind, Liu Ping suddenly turned his head and looked towards another corner.

There, there were several wounded believers who were panting behind the stone pillars.

"do not move!"

Liu Ping yelled and ran towards those people.

"Don't move, I'll treat you!" he shouted while running.

Those people looked at each other with complicated expressions.

A believer couldn't help sighing:
"Why do we have to kill him, he is a good man!"
