When Lily and Ji Ye appeared in front of everyone again, they had already put on the clothes that were very large in the eyes of the Gazain people. Lily was already used to this kind of clothes, but Ji Ye was as enthusiastic as Lily before.
Pulling down the hem of her skirt, her face turned red.
Fan was not surprised by Lily's attire, but Alison pulled her over and said a lot of nonsense, generally asking Lily to change her clothes quickly.
"Change back?" Lily said with disdain, "Do you want to change back into those ugly village girl clothes?"
"Village... village girl..." Alison suddenly turned gray and squatted in the corner, drawing circles, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
It’s a broken and small place...wuwuwu..."
No, no, no, you have always been saying that Harlai is small and broken... Lily couldn't help but think with shame.
Because Ji Ye had changed his clothes, he only dared to kneel and sit there on the roof of the car, while Lily lay comfortably on Ji Ye's lap, enjoying the knee pillow.
"Speaking of which, are you going to carry this big insect with you forever? Fan?" Lily lay on Ji Ye's lap, staring at the insect dragon lying beside her with big eyes and small eyes.
"Uh... I gave it a name, Anzite." Fan explained helplessly, "It is a sub-dragon, not an insect."
"Well, they look almost the same anyway." Lily waved her hand indifferently and said, "Isn't it weird that you don't have a special space or something to hold these pockets?"
"So what are you talking about..." Fan touched Ainz's head and replied, "Dragon species can usually change their body size, such as Miss Lan's Kong Kong. But now Ainz
Te is still too weak, so I can only leave it like this for now."
It’s really inconvenient to not have a Poké Ball... So this world is like the Digosaurs, where you can only move with monsters? I wonder if you can merge and evolve... Hehe~ Lily started to wonder if she wanted to catch one too.
Here comes a cute pet to play with, um... I want something cute and powerful...
The Eastern City-State is not the name of a country, but a collective name given by outsiders for the convenience of referring to the many city-states located in the easternmost part of the Ghasain Continent. The Eastern City-States are dominated by city-states, and each city is a force. However, it is also
There are small principalities that control five or six cities, and there are also powerful city-states like the Orton Territory that divide a large area of land as their territory.
It is said that the Lord of Orton is a Brenor - although most people in the eastern city-states are of mixed race, the appearance of the Lord of Orton is indeed more similar to that of the Brenor.
The center of the Orton Territory is Otez City, which is a port city. In terms of area, it is not much smaller than Blake. On the contrary, the population density is much higher than Blake. Because there are many merchant ships near the port
Various trades are carried out here, including elves and winged people from Batlea and the southern jungle. Although they only sail along the coastline of Gasain, the coast of Gasaiin is not that easy to travel.
Humans have tried many times to go to Bartlea and the southern jungle, but most of them died on the reefs and at the hands of the sea tribe. The ones who survived were those who gave up and retreated. From the current point of view, it seems that there is no chance of reaching Bartlea alive.
And the human race that returns does not exist.
The reason why the elves and winged people were able to sail over was not only because they had detailed charts of the coast of Jhasain, but also their relationship with the sea tribe was not as bad as that between humans and the sea tribe. However, if there are merchant ships, there will naturally be pirates.
Compared with making profits by doing business honestly, the capital-free business of direct plunder is naturally more attractive. Like most coastal cities in the eastern city-states, there are many pirates gathered in Otez City, although merchants often ask for help.
The lord protested and asked him to expel these nasty blood-sucking insects, but the lord said he could not help - unless the stolen goods were stolen on the spot, you could not forcefully arrest the nasty people who gathered in bars and casinos without evidence, no matter what you did.
You have to follow the rules, right?
Despite this, the public security in the Orton Territory is among the best among the eastern city-states. It has a complete legal system and law enforcement agencies. Here you don’t have to worry about being stabbed to death or having your property robbed. The patrolling guards will be there as soon as possible.
Help you solve your trouble. However, when it comes to pirates and slave traders, the attitude of Lord Orton is the same as that of most eastern city-state city lords - resisting in name, but not much in practice. Slave traders will pay a large sum of taxes regularly.
As a guarantee, as for the pirates... they are lucky to no longer cause trouble in the city! Can you still expect a few city guards to arrest more than ten times more pirates than them at sea?
Although the main source of the Auton Territory's finances is commerce, the agriculture of the Auton Territory is also developed. Lily looked at the green wheat fields on both sides of the road and felt as if she had returned to the earth. Although there are many plants in this world that are not found on the earth.
exist, but most of them can be found similar on the earth, which makes Lily wonder if there is some strange connection between this world and the earth.
"How far are we still..." Tired of looking at the surrounding scenery, Lily sat on the edge of the car roof, dangling her feet in boredom, and lowered her head to ask Silla who was driving the car.
Silla squinted her eyes and looked into the distance, and said to Lily: "It should be here soon." The Dragon Spear had been moving between the two countries of Blaino and Carretta before, and had never been to this place. Although it followed the road signs and the local
The man's instructions ensured that the direction was correct, but how far it was still, Silla couldn't tell.
It was already the fifth day since she first entered the eastern city-state. Lily found that this place was much more chaotic than Blake. The day before yesterday, she and others were intercepted by a group of bandits. They were obviously interested in the gangster.
The big bug on the carriage, but fortunately the strength of the Dragon Spear was not weak, and with Kaz, a humanoid monster, the bandits had no choice but to run away crying.
"Ah... this world is so boring... there is no wifi, no handheld device, no mobile phone..." Lily shrank into Ji Ye's arms and rubbed her breast hard. Ji Ye, whose face was full of black lines, quickly pressed Lily's head with his hands.
Let her move around, "Speaking of which, my mobile phone and 'Magic Book' are still at Aurelia's place. I wonder how she is doing now..."
"Don't worry, Miss Aurelia will be fine." Fan comforted Lily and said, "After we enter Otez City, let's go find out if there is any news about Miss Aurelia. Didn't she also let us stay in Otez City before?
Is Zicheng waiting for her?"
Lily nodded a little depressed - Aurelia was one of the few friends and relatives she had since she came to this world, and her whereabouts have been unknown since she was ambushed by Halina and Nightcrawler. The powerful Lily of the legendary level is not particularly clear.
But Halina did give her a great sense of threat. I wonder if Aurelia can escape her pursuit...
After marching for another half day, the carriage convoy finally entered the city of Otez. Unlike Blake's towering city wall, the city wall here was only about twenty meters long, and one could see the city walls wearing leather armor.
Guards patrol the city walls.
Unlike what Dragon Spear had thought before, no slave merchants came out to surround them. The city guards only let them in after a cursory inspection. Obviously slave merchants are not a rare thing here - as long as you are not in broad daylight.
If you trade slaves, no city guards will come to arrest you.
"I think we need a guide." Silla didn't know anything about this place. He looked around and walked up to a big man with an unshaven beard. The big man looked a little drunk, and he smelled of alcohol.
Come, obviously after drinking: "We need a guide, do you know where we can hire such a person?"
"Guide?" The drunk man looked up at Silla, patted his shoulder and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! What kind of guide are you looking for? Give me a bottle of wine money, and I will take you wherever you want to go!"
"There are some children in my car..." Before Silla could finish speaking, the drunk man interrupted him, with an "I understand" expression, and winked from Silla: "Hey hey
~I know how to get there, man, is this your first time here? What's in the car? Pointy ears?"
The pointed ears in the drunkard's mouth refer to the elves of Bartlea. Because Bartlea borders the Orc Empire, many orc slave traders will keep an eye on these races with beautiful faces.
"No, I'm asking if there is a ship to the Orc Empire." Silla still had a straight face, but the look on her face was already a little unhappy, "I want to send these children home."
When the drunkard heard what Silla said, he laughed and said: "That's really unfortunate. From here there are only boats with pointed ears and wings. To go to the Orc Empire, you have to go overland."
"Is there a land route? Are there any caravans traveling between the eastern city-states and the Orc Empire?" Lan came over, frowned and slapped her nose - she didn't hate the smell of alcohol on the drunk man's body, but the smell of sweat on his body, "I mean
...a normal caravan.”
"Caravan? You should go to the Chamber of Commerce and ask. There are businessmen from all over the world gathered there." The drunk man stared at Lan and took a step forward, "I am talking about... normal businessmen."
Lan calmly took a step back towards Silla, letting Silla stand between him and the drunkard. The drunkard looked at Silla's tall figure, which was two heads taller than him, and immediately stepped back angrily.
: "As we agreed before, buy me a drink and I will take you there - if the beautiful woman behind you comes to have a drink with me, I will happily pay for the drink myself..."
"Drink? Haha! Count me in!" Kaz's voice came from behind the two of them, and he walked to Silla. The two of them surrounded the drunkard like two thick high walls! The drunkard's face suddenly changed.
He turned pale and was mostly sober: "No, no, forget it, I'll take you there for free."
Kaz and Silla really didn't have any ill intentions, but when they stood there, they looked as fierce as two door gods, and everyone who saw them would be frightened.
The drunkard took the Dragon Spear and others to the Chamber of Commerce, while Lily took Kong Kong to Ozite City to find a place to stay, and to inquire about information about Aurelia.
Because Otez City has a very large floating population, it is very simple to find a hotel here. After asking passers-by, Lily and others came to a medium-sized hotel. The hotel here is also the same as Levin Town, on the first floor.
It is a place for drinking, eating and dancing, and the second and third floors are the places to rest.
"Boss, are there any vacancies?" Lily found depressingly that she was only one head taller than the bar. She put her chin on the bar and asked the boss who was settling accounts.
The owner of the hotel is a lean man with a mustache. He looks like a businessman, but he speaks very kindly: "How many of you are there? How many rooms do you want?"
"I want nine rooms, seven single rooms and two double rooms." Lily is going to sleep in the same room as Ji Ye, and in order to take care of Ollie, Alison will live with her.
"There aren't that many single rooms anymore. Can we have five single rooms and three double rooms?" The boss looked at the brochure at hand, which seemed to record the occupancy status.
Lily thought for a moment and nodded, "No problem~"
The boss glanced at Lily and asked while taking the key: "Are you from Blaino?"
Lily blinked curiously: "Really? What's wrong?"
The boss shook his head and handed the key to Lily: "Some big things happened over there in Blaino. I wonder if you already know about it."
Big thing? Lily stood up on tiptoes curiously, holding the bar with both hands and asked repeatedly: "What big thing? Knight competition?" Lily thought she had become famous all over the world and was recognized by others.
"Don't you know?" The boss touched his mustache and deliberately whetted Lily's appetite, "Have you not heard any news recently? It has spread all over the eastern city-states."
"News?" Lily's interest was indeed piqued. She stretched out her arms and stood on the bar: "What interesting thing happened? Princess Alicia got married?"
The boss shrugged: "Interesting? Maybe. But it's not that Alicia got married, but that she killed her father and defected from Blaeno."
"How is that possible?" Lily was shocked and fell down. "Why would Princess Alicia do such a thing? It must be just a rumor, right?"
The boss smiled, twirling his beard, and said proudly: "Some people say that Princess Alicia killed the king because he opposed her marriage to a poor boy, and some people say that Princess Alicia killed the king.
In fact, he fell in love with the prince of Carretta, but these are not important. The fact that Princess Alicia assassinated the king can be said to be true. And I heard that two of the three legions of Blenno are now
It’s already gone in name only.”
Three major legions? Lily thought of Uncle Vincent and Sister Siyana (Vincent: Hey! Siyana and I are the same age, okay!). It couldn't be them, right?
"The Flying Feather Knights colluded with the princess to prepare to attack the king, but they were discovered and defeated by Blano's guards before they even started. The legion commander of the Magic Knights secretly contacted the princess, but was discovered by soldiers in the army.
The army mutinied. Although I heard that the princess escaped, the original army commander seemed to have died in the rebellion. By the way, I heard that Lord Orton recently met with a big shot from Blaeno. I don't know.
Is she the escaped princess?"
Lily stared blankly at the spitting boss, her heart filled with surprise - the world has changed so fast! So many things have happened in less than two weeks?
"What about the Knights of Dawn?" Lily was not familiar with Siyana and Keles, the commander of the Magic Knights. She was most familiar with the wooden-headed uncle.
The boss spread his hands and said: "I heard before that Blaino and Carretta reconciled and sent the Knights of the Dawn to support Carretta in defending against enemies from the north. As a result, this happened to Blake not long after - now
If so, the Knights of Dawn should still be on the front line, and they still don't know such breaking news like you."
