Although Lulu wanted to go with Lu Yu, she immediately received two objections.
The unanimous objections from Sera and Lu Yu made Lulu a little confused, and she turned to look at the two of them suspiciously.
"You two... why do you have such a tacit understanding?"
Lulu had wanted to ask this for a long time. She thought about it while preparing potions for Benlong and Mist Demon, and she always felt that Sera and Lu Yu were hiding something from her, which made her heart ache.
"Coincidence." They said the same thing again, even the tone and expression were similar.
Lu Yu adjusted his speaking rhythm and spoke first before Lulu suspected that he and Sierra were colluding: "Don't forget that you are still a 'murderer' in the eyes of outsiders. Tanya is also looking for your whereabouts and messing around with me.
If you run away, the risk of being discovered is very high. The potions of the Mist Demon and the Stupid Dragon are what you need to worry about most at the moment. This time I am going to inspect and select a location, and I can't be too ostentatious, so I won't take the Stupid Dragon away."
"oh…"
Lu Yu's words were very effective, and Lulu obeyed directly. This made Sera, who was watching Lulu's expression from the side, have mixed feelings.
"Take this with you." The nun in black handed several scrolls made of unknown animal skins to Lu Yu, "Although Lulutis can't go with you, you can record some local information for her.
A special view.”
Lu Yu asked: "Do you want me to write a composition?"
"It's not writing, it's recording." Sera clicked her tongue in displeasure. She picked up a scroll and triggered the magic pattern above. The scroll was instantly enveloped in a white light.
Sera, who had terminated the input of magic power, unfolded the scroll, and Lu Yu's big face appeared on the dark brown scroll.
Lu Yu's eyes lit up, it turned out to be a video recording function.
Through Sera's teachings, Lu Yu quickly learned how to use video recording and deletion of records. He subconsciously asked: "How many grams?"
"Send it?" Sierra and the nun in black looked confused.
Lu Yu, who realized that he was speaking smoothly, quickly explained: "It is the storage capacity of information."
"The disappearance of the white light means that the recording cannot be continued. Also, remember to keep it carefully. The production of these scrolls is complicated, so they are very precious." Serra reminded.
Without even providing a storage capacity reminder, the magicians of this era are really not pioneering...
"After the magic wave arrives, I don't know what kind of changes these things will have." Lu Yu thought to himself.
Because Serra's every move attracted the attention of the other three countries, Lu Yu did not set off directly from the Papal City, but started on his way after leaving the Papal City late at night.
Before leaving, Sera pulled Lu Yu aside and gave him serious instructions.
"After coming to Mela, you have been following me, and your activities have been in rich and prosperous areas. What you have seen and heard may give you a wrong impression - everything is not bad. Now you are traveling alone,
Here’s a piece of advice for you…don’t be too surprised by anything you see.”
Lu Yu soon understood the meaning of Sera's words.
Although he was not very interested in Raging Mountain Ridge, Lu Yu still chose this place as his first stop, so he inevitably saw many things along the way.
Solon, founded from the Infested Spirit Disaster, is a country dominated by humans, but it was a war in which all races cooperated sincerely, so Solon will fight alongside them in the Infested Spirit Disaster.
race is included in the "Friendly List".
After the end of the glorious era, the six races of elves, dragons, werewolves, vampires, dryads, and sirens still receive high treatment in Solon - pure blood only.
Mixed blood from the seven major ethnic groups, including humans, will not be criticized, but other than the seven major ethnic groups, they are not so friendly.
With just a bottle of wine, Lu Yu learned from a slave trader what the buyers in Solon's royal city, Rodmir, thought.
Anyone who is not a mixed race of the seven races is a lowly person. Unless this lowly person can show his legal status in the other three major countries, they will only be greeted with contempt and provocation.
Lu Yu was still a little confused about this. Solon was conquering the squirrel people rebellion in the Civita region. According to Lu Yu's memory, the Civita region was the land reclaimed by Solon after the founding of the country, and was incorporated into it.
The local races also obtained the status of Solon's subjects according to law.
Several slave traders laughed heartily, and the slaves in the cages on the side also looked at Lu Yu looking like a fool.
"The law is the law, but can it control the lords?"
Lu Yu understood.
Solon's land was vast, and the area radiated by its core rights was limited. In the glorious era, all races had harmonious relations, and everyone followed the rules. Most of the lords of that era also abided by the regulations, worked hard to enjoy the residual warmth of the glorious era, and abide by their duties.
However, with the end of the glorious era, disputes increased, relations between various ethnic groups became tense, and friction increased, which also made Solon's xenophobic sentiments rise.
The essence of Solon's establishment of the six major races listed was to commemorate the foreign friends who had made the greatest contributions, to build relationships with them, and to conclude alliances. However, as time went by and after the glorious era ended, this became a distinction between nobles and humblers.
boundaries, and subtly changed the thinking of most people, forming a consensus.
The six major races are also willing to maintain this chain of contempt and stand together with the human race to ensure their rights and status in the land of Solon.
Conflicts in the Civita region have existed for a long time. The identity of the people of Solon did not give the Squirrel people a greater sense of security. For a long time, they were treated as "foreign races" to enslave, bully, and manage the lords of Civita.
They are located in remote areas where the empire's violence and power are difficult to reach, and they have become "tyrants" one by one.
In the three hundred years since Civita was annexed to Solon, the squirrel people have rarely had a normal lord.
Civita is not an example of Solon. The lords of the border city-states go their own way. The people of Solon do not think that the aliens in the border city-states are the people of Solon. Therefore, the suffering that happened there is just a short story worth listening to after dinner, except for a short period of time.
Apart from a trace of intolerance, there will be no more emotional fluctuations.
The royal family of Solon had to rely on lords and nobles to maintain such a large territory, so they acquiesced to their local rights.
Lulu once said that the places within the radius of the royal city of Solon, Rodmir, are orderly, quiet and peaceful. The Solon people living here take it for granted that Solon is like this, because few of them will go to the borders of Solon.
, take a hard look at areas where imperial control is weak.
Passing by a small city-state, Lu Yu paused briefly for a while. A group of knights flew past, causing dust to fly for a while.
When Lu Yu left after drinking tea, he found that the busy streets had become empty, and he was so conspicuous walking on the avenue.
After walking for a while, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded from behind. A group of armored knights displayed superb equestrian skills and instantly surrounded Lu Yu in the center. The breath of their horses slapped Lu Yu's face.
Feeling the hostility around him, he was ready to pull out his bleeding sword.
Lu Yu blocked her with his hand, then raised his head and looked directly at the leader of the group of knights: "I am a subject of the Theocracy."
The knight commander extended his hand to Lu Yu, and Lu Yu found out the certificate of the Theocracy that Serra had made for him and handed it over.
The knight commander looked carefully, and then glanced at Lu Yu and Xu Yu with narrow eyes. The knight beside him approached and whispered to him.
The expression on the knight commander's face changed, and the certificate of the Theocracy in his hand was slowly handed to Lu Yu's hand.
Before leaving, a knight reminded loudly: "I don't recommend you to continue going. This road is not very safe recently."
Lu Yu ignored it and continued his journey with the convoy of merchants who met by chance on the way and agreed to hitchhike with them, but he would soon understand why the knight shouted this.
As night fell, Lu Yu, who had learned a little about the situation in several border towns of Solon according to Laurender's request, sat on a stone.
The merchant team of dozens of people was very lively. They were carrying a large amount of goods, and their destination was the forest elf territory north of the Raging Mountain Ridge.
Goods from Solon are very popular among the elves. The elves especially like the exquisite utensils and beautiful silk clothes made by humans. For this reason, they are even willing to exchange extremely precious things. There are often merchants in transactions with the elves.
Earn unexpected wealth.
Most merchants carry a large amount of clothing, utensils, and decorations when they go, and they return with a large number of elven slaves.
The forest elves are also hostile to each other, and the wars have not stopped. The prisoners captured in the war naturally become part of the extra money. Although the farsighted people among the forest elves proposed that prisoners should not be sold to Solon, there is always such a thing as making extra money.
Someone will do it.
What is more darkly humorous is that although the elves were one of the six major races when Solon was founded, the trading of elven slaves was not prohibited. Solon only stipulated that elves who were Solon's subjects could not be sold, and foreign elves were not protected.
At this point, the four major countries have achieved a rare unity.
The captain of the caravan's guard was a burly uncle, whose nickname was Shuzhu - he had branch-shaped scars on his face from being burned while fighting bandits. Seeing Lu and Yu sitting on the edge of the camp without eating or drinking, he took the initiative.
Carrying a bottle of wine, he came to Lu Yu and said, "Are you really not drinking?"
"Drinking is harmful to your health."
Uncle Shuzhu was extremely confused: "Is it harmful to your health? Then drink less. Drinking can ward off the cold."
"Alcohol, no matter how moderate it is, is harmful to the body. In fact, I recommend not drinking at all. By the way, drinking can't drive away the cold. You will only feel warm briefly after drinking, and then your body's heat dissipation will speed up.
It will feel colder." Lu Yu said.
Uncle Shuzhu opened his mouth wide, a little confused: "Is that so..."
Seeing Uncle Shuzhu returning to the team angrily, the members of the escort team on the side smiled and said: "I have already said that he is a man from the Papal City. He has a lot of experience and is also troublesome. How can such a person see this?
Please save the bad wine we drank, uncle.
The speaker reached out to grab the wine bag and took a big gulp.
"Why do the children of Papal City go to the Raging Mountain Ridge? Are there any other strange things besides beasts and monsters?"
"You don't understand. The children of these masters have been pampered since childhood. They have listened to the nonsense adventure stories of bards and read pretentious poetry collections and articles. They naturally have a fondness for adventure and distant places. They have never seen the outside world.
world, so I thought that what I saw and heard after coming out would be consistent with the stories told by the bard, and I wished I could be a hero every day to save this and that, to satisfy my restless heart, hiccup~~~~~~~"
"There are no heroes, no stories of ups and downs...it's all boring daily life, bur~~~~~~ I told them, but they don't believe it. They always think that the outside world is as comfortable as home."
Uncle Shuzhu smiled disapprovingly and did not echo the team member's words.
The guards earn money by working hard, and the people here have complicated experiences. The person in front of me was once the guard captain of a certain noble family. I don't know what he did, and he joined them because he couldn't survive.
Here, we do not look into the past or talk about the past. This is the rule of the escort. It is also the tacit tenderness of everyone who is struggling for money in this desolate land. As long as you are willing to protect my back when we fight side by side.
, if you are willing to keep your promise and send home the money you paid for your life when you die in battle, that is a friend.
Everyone knew that the former guard captain hated the nobles, so most of them agreed with him tolerantly.
The escort didn't have much ill will towards Lu Yu. They were simply curious about why a young man who looked helpless and whose feet hurt so much that he had to sit down after walking for a long time ran out alone.
Where are his family guards?
Lu Yu didn't know that he had been imagined as a pampered young master by these members of the merchant guard who met by chance. He carefully inspected his feet, touched the blisters on them, and couldn't help but sigh: "I traveled for so long before.
Nothing happened, you just felt at ease for a while, and you became more delicate..."
For a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the forest in the distance, and whispered, "Someone is coming."
Lu Yu glanced at the escort members beside him who were still eating and drinking, thinking of the secret sentries they had placed around them before, and said, "It seems those secret sentries are dead."
Lu Yu stood up, and the guard who had been sleeping behind him for a moment also woke up.
Lu Yu pointed to the sky and ordered: "Spray flames into the sky."
A pillar of fire shot into the sky, and the merchant guards who were eating and drinking were instantly startled, and their eyes focused on Shou Gong and Lu Yu.
"Don't look at me. Just blow a whistle and see if your fellow whistler can respond." Lu Yu couldn't help but want to question the professionalism of this group of people, but he held back.
Uncle Shuzhu was shocked when he heard this and whistled twice in the distance.
Only his whistle echoed in the silent darkness.
"Prepare for battle, enemy attack!"
"Prepare for battle, enemy attack!"
The continuous shouts made the originally extremely relaxed guards quickly arm themselves.
Lu Yu stared into the darkness, remembered Laurende's instructions, and murmured: "Is this what you told me to come to the Raging Mountain Ridge to see by the way..."
