Chapter 69: Roland City of Montokas

Montokas was a Life Planet in the Andromeda Galaxy, and it was also very unique. Right beside its orbit was a meteorite belt. These rocks ranged from as small as a fist to as large as thousands of meters long, and they were often captured by the gravity of the Montokas planet.

Logically speaking, a planet like Montokas should not have been able to provide stable space for life to evolve, but things were abnormal. One of the reasons was its three massive satellites.

The masses of the three satellites were 1/45, 1/55, and 1/60 of the planet they orbited respectively, very similar to Earth’s Moon. They protected the outer space of Montokas in all directions, intercepting the restless meteorites.

Coupled with the thick atmosphere of the Montokas Star, smaller meteorites could not reach the ground at all and were directly worn away by the atmosphere.

Therefore, for tens of millions of years, a truly massive meteorite impact had only happened once on Montokas, and that time was called the Day of God’s Descent by the residents of the planet.

The residents of Montokas had very unique emotions for the three moons above their heads. They called them Agana, Letona, and Mokasha respectively. They were the three main gods in their mythology, also known as the Three Sister Goddesses, representing protection and justice; love and beauty; romance and mystery.

All of this sounded very beautiful, but it had nothing to do with Lin Lei’s trial mission!

“Si Yu, you shouldn’t have come with me. This is my first mission, and I’m afraid I can’t guarantee your safety,” Lin Lei said helplessly to Yan Siyu, who had insisted on following.

He paused and said, “How about you stay on the Sky Shuttle and wait for me? I’ll be back soon. What do you think?”

They were riding a special express Sky Shuttle provided by the Star Alliance. It was only ten meters long and very mini, but the technology it contained was far beyond what the Zeus-F Tiansuo spaceship could compare with. It could perform jumps anytime and anywhere, and could teleport its passengers to any location within a range of 500,000 kilometers, and of course, it could also teleport them back to the shuttle.

So Lin Lei’s plan was to land on the back of one of Montokas’s satellites, and then have the shuttle teleport him to the surface of Montokas to carry out the mission.

His mission was very simple, but also very difficult. He had to kill the lord of Roland City, a lower city-state on the Montokas Star, without using any technology from the Galaxy, and only using the planet’s local technology!

As for why he couldn’t use Galaxy technology, according to Yuan Shanxing, it was because the mission was carried out inside the city. Using technology would have too great an impact and could easily attract the attention of certain powerful beings in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Lin Lei now had a specific understanding of the characteristics of the intelligent beings in the Andromeda Galaxy. The basic Rules of the Universe here had subtle differences from the Galaxy. Reflected on a macro level, the potential of intelligent beings was infinite!

This was a world of Energy Controllers! Perhaps ordinary people were only a little stronger than the citizens of the Galaxy in terms of physical fitness, but the Energy Controllers among them had the ability to control energy freely.

Just like that Musalo Lin Lei met during the strength test, his combat power was very strong. And Musalo was just an ordinary member of the Energy Controllers. The truly powerful Energy Controllers possessed terrifying power capable of destroying the world. The people of the Andromeda Galaxy called them Saints!

Unfortunately, the lord of Roland City was an Energy Controller. Coupled with the fact that he was the lord of a city-state, he definitely had guards. This mission was indeed very tricky, especially for a novice like Lin Lei.

“Okay, then you go alone. I’ll be ready to support you at any time.” Seeing that Lin Lei’s tone was firm, Yan Siyu changed her tone and advanced by retreating. Once Lin Lei left, she would be the one in charge here, haha.

“Mhm, okay. I checked, and there is a layer of Energy Shield over Roland City, so teleportation is impossible. Help me position the teleportation system to the outskirts of Roland City.”

“No problem!”

The scene in front of Lin Lei suddenly distorted. When it unfolded again, he was already on the Montokas Star, and not far away was the magnificent Roland City.

The outer wall of Roland City was built entirely of stone, and the style was very heavy. But this also reflected that the civilization level of the Montokas Star was not very high. Coupled with the large patches of green farmland in the suburbs, Lin Lei was basically certain that this planet was in the agricultural era.

As far as Lin Lei knew, Montokas had maintained this level of civilization for ten thousand years, and the changes were minimal. Perhaps it was excessive individual ability that hindered the development of technology.

Powerful Energy Controllers could do anything that the Galaxy could do with technology, and some things were even faster and more convenient. In terms of the degree of mastery over energy, the Epic Beasts of the Galaxy were trash compared to them.

There was no other reason for this, only wisdom.

Lin Lei had made some preparations in advance. At least his clothes and hairstyle blended with the style here, so when he appeared in the suburbs, he didn’t look out of place. Now, he looked like a down-and-out traveler common everywhere on Montokas.

A down-and-out traveler was fine, as long as he didn’t attract attention. Lin Lei deliberately dragged his heavy footsteps, slumped his shoulders, hunched his back, and stared at the ground. Coupled with the deliberately prepared shabby clothes, he looked like a native of Montokas.

He slowly moved towards Roland City. When he reached the city gate, his steps were blocked by the guards at the gate.

“Hey, you dirty, lowly fellow, don’t think about entering the city. Get the hell away from me!” A guard in full metal chain armor roared at Lin Lei with disgust, one hand pressing on the long sword at his waist.

Fortunately, the Star Alliance had given him a translation button, which could automatically translate the other party’s language. Lin Lei understood the soldier’s words. He couldn’t conflict with him either. For him right now, keeping a low profile was important, and completing the mission was the foundation.

Lin Lei pretended to be panic-stricken and ran far away. He planned to go to the farmhouses in the suburbs to steal a few pieces of clothing and dress up as a farmer from Montokas to sneak in.

Several guards at the city gate watched this guy fleeing in a sorry state and laughed loudly. Obviously, Lin Lei’s behavior provided some entertainment for their boring lives.

Just as Lin Lei was feeling annoyed at his failure, a familiar voice, pure with a hint of playfulness, came from behind him: “How is it? You hit a wall, didn’t you?”

He turned around and saw Yan Siyu! At this moment, she was wearing a long black silk dress and was sitting prettily on the back seat of a carriage, smiling at him.

“Why are you here!” Lin Lei was surprised but also felt a bit angry. He finally experienced how Yan Qingming felt. This girl’s willfulness was indeed not something ordinary people could handle.

Yan Siyu pouted her tender lips and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: “Of course to help you. Look, if I hadn’t come, you wouldn’t even be able to enter the city gate. Get in the carriage, let’s go into the city!”

Fine, Lin Lei accepted it. If he got serious with Yan Siyu, he would have already lost. He shook his head, sighed, and resignedly sat in the carriage.

“How did this carriage come about?” Lin Lei’s anger quickly vanished without a trace. He asked Yan Siyu in his heart. Could it be that the Star Alliance gave special treatment to people from level eleven civilizations?

“Hehe, you don’t understand, right? Look at what’s in my hand?” Saying that, Yan Siyu opened her hand to Lin Lei. Lying in her small hand was a yellow-orange metal block. Everyone was familiar with this thing; it was gold.

Lin Lei was a bit confused: “Is gold also a hard currency in the Andromeda Galaxy?”

Yan Siyu placed the gold into Lin Lei’s large hand, narrowed her eyes, and smiled: “Of course. Gold elements have high value everywhere. You know, elements in the universe that are ranked after iron on the periodic table can only be produced in the instant after a supernova explosion. Their content is relatively low. Because its manufacturing cost is high, requiring the sacrifice of a supermassive star, and gold’s chemical properties are the most stable, it’s not surprising that it has become a hard currency in the universe.”

“Oh, there is such an explanation. It sounds quite reasonable.” Lin Lei held the gold block that still retained Yan Siyu’s body temperature and felt a bit ashamed of his lack of knowledge.

There was no helping it. This thing couldn’t be improved in a day or two. Even with his super abnormal memory, he needed a long-term accumulation process.

The carriage entered Roland City very smoothly. Inside the city, Lin Lei and Yan Siyu went straight to a remote alley in the south of the city.

This was the entrance to an underground assassination guild secretly controlled by the Star Alliance. From this guild, Lin Lei could get the equipment he needed.

Not using Galaxy technology didn’t mean he couldn’t use local items from Montokas. Otherwise, facing the lord of Roland City, who was an Energy Controller, with bare hands would be purely sending Lin Lei to his death.

The two found the entrance to the assassination guild very smoothly. After exchanging passwords, they were led into the reception hall of the guild, which was more than ten meters underground.

Receiving them was a white-haired old man with turbid eyes and a hunched back. His gaze turned around the two of them, and he asked in a hoarse voice: “So, which of you two is the executor of this operation? Please forgive my confused head, because it is rare for two people to come and execute a mission like this.”

Perhaps infected by the atmosphere here, Lin Lei also lowered his voice and replied: “It’s me. The person next to me is my assistant.”

“Assistant? That’s the first time I’ve heard of it. But that’s none of my business, as long as you can complete the mission. Please wait a moment, the things we prepared for you will arrive soon.” As soon as the old man finished speaking, he fell into silence and did not say another word.

Then, a short figure with his face hidden under a mask brought a package over, untied it in front of Lin Lei, placed the items inside one by one on the table, and then quietly retreated.

The old man pointed his chin at the items on the table, signaling Lin Lei to check them carefully.

On the table were a dagger, a set of dark red night clothes with a hood, and a detailed architectural blueprint of the City Lord’s Mansion.

“The dagger has magic-breaking properties and can penetrate various low-to-mid-level Energy Shields. It is also coated with potent poison, so please use it carefully,” the old man reminded kindly.

“Thank you. Then I will take my leave now.” Lin Lei hid the dagger on his body, put the other things back into the package, and took Yan Siyu out of this extremely oppressive reception hall.

From beginning to end, the three did not mention the specific content of the operation, nor did they know each other’s names. This operation was just Lin Lei’s personal behavior. Even if he failed, it would not involve this underground assassination guild controlled by the Star Alliance.

“Si Yu, let’s find a hotel. We’ll start the operation tonight!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
