Chapter 275 274. Daily life at the border

Although Lulu wanted to go with Lu Yu, she immediately received two objections.

Sera and Lu Yu's unanimous objection made Lulu a little confused, and she turned to look at the two with a suspicious look.

"Why are you two so tacit?"

Lulu had wanted to ask this question for a long time. She thought about it while preparing potions for the stupid dragon and the fog monster, and always felt that Sera and Lu Yu were hiding something from her, which made her heart ache.

"Coincidence." They said it in unison again, and even the tone and expression of their speech were similar.

Lu Yu adjusted his speaking rhythm and spoke before Lulu suspected that he and Sera were in collusion: "Don't forget, you are still a 'murderer' in the eyes of outsiders. Tanya is also looking for your whereabouts. If you run around with me, the risk of being discovered is very high. The potions of the fog demon and the stupid dragon are what you need to worry about most. This time I am going to investigate and choose a location. I can't be too ostentatious, so I won't take the stupid dragon with me."

"Oh..."

Lu Yu's words were very effective. Lulu obeyed obediently, which made Sera, who was observing Lulu's expression, feel mixed emotions.

"Take this." The black-clothed nun handed Lu Yu several scrolls made of unknown animal skins. "Although Lulutis can't go with you, you can record some special local scenery for her."

Lu Yu asked: "Are you asking me to write an essay?"

"Not writing, but recording." Sera said unhappily. She picked up a scroll and triggered the magic pattern on it. The scroll was instantly wrapped in a white light.

Sera, who stopped inputting 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 the recording function.

Through Sera's teaching, Lu Yu quickly learned the usage of recording and deleting records, and he subconsciously asked: "How many G?"

"Send?" Sera and the black-robed nun looked confused.

Lu Yu, who realized that he was speaking fluently, hurriedly explained: "It is the storage capacity of information."

"The disappearance of the white light means that you can't continue recording. Also, remember to keep it carefully. The production of these scrolls is complicated, so they are very precious." Sera reminded.

There is not even a storage capacity reminder. The magicians of this era are really not pioneering...

"I don't know what kind of changes these things will undergo after the magic tide arrives." Lu Yu thought.

Because Sera's every move attracted the attention of the other three countries, Lu Yu did not set out directly from the Pope City, but left the Pope City late at night before starting his journey.

Before leaving, Sera specifically pulled Lu Yu aside and gave him a serious advice.

"Since you came to Mera, 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, I will give you a piece of advice... 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 the Fury Mountain Ridge, Lu Yu still chose it as his first stop, so he inevitably saw a lot of things along the way.

Solon, which was established from the Infected Spirit Disaster, is a country dominated by humans, but it was a war in which all races cooperated sincerely, so Solon included the six races that fought side by side with them in the Infected Spirit Disaster in the "Friendly List".

Elves, dragons, werewolves, blood races, tree elves, and sirens, after the end of the glorious era, still have high treatment in Solon - only pure blood.

The mixed blood of the seven major races, including humans, will not be condemned, but those outside the seven major races are not so friendly.

Lu Yu only used a bottle of wine to learn from a slave trader what the buyers in the Solon royal city of Rodmire thought.

Those who were not mixed with the seven tribes were all lowly. Unless this lowly person could show his legal identity in the other three countries, they would only be greeted with contempt and provocation.

Lu Yu was still a little puzzled about this. Solon was conquering the squirrel rebellion in the Civita area. According to Lu Yu's memory, the Civita area was the land that Solon conquered and reclaimed after the founding of the country. The local races incorporated into it also obtained the status of Solon's people according to the law.

Several slave traders laughed, and the slaves in the cages on the side also cast a look at Lu Yu.

"Laws are laws, but can they control the lords?"

Lu Yu understood.

Solon has a vast territory, and the core power radiates a limited area. In the glorious era, the relationship between the various ethnic groups was harmonious, and everyone still followed the rules. Most of the lords of that era also abided by the regulations, trying to enjoy the warmth of the glorious era and abide by their duties.

However, with the end of the glorious era, disputes increased, relations between ethnic groups became tense, and frictions increased, which led to Solon's xenophobic sentiment.

The essence of Solon's establishment of the six major races was to commemorate the foreign friends who made the greatest contributions, to bring them closer, and to conclude an alliance. However, as time went by, after the glorious era ended, this became the boundary between the nobles and the humble, and subtly changed the thinking of most people and formed a consensus.

The six major races were also happy to maintain this contempt chain, standing together with the human race to ensure their rights and status in the land of Solon.

The conflict in the Civita region has a long history. The identity of Solon’s people did not give the squirrels more sense of security. They were enslaved and bullied as "aliens" for a long time. The lords who managed Civita were in remote areas where the violence and power of the empire were difficult to radiate, and became "tyrants".

In the three hundred years since Civita was incorporated into Solon, the squirrels have basically not welcomed a normal lord.

Civita is not an exception in Solon. The lords of the border city-states do their own things. The people of Solon do not think that the aliens in the border city-states are Solon’s people. Therefore, the sufferings there are only stories worth listening to after dinner. Except for a brief feeling of pity, there will be no more emotional fluctuations.

The Solon royal family must rely on the lords and the aristocracy to maintain such a large territory, so they acquiesce to their rights in the local area.

Lulu once said that the areas within the radiation range of the Solon royal city Rodmire were orderly, quiet and peaceful. The Solon people living here naturally thought that Solon was like this, because few of them would go to the border of Solon to take a serious look at the areas where the empire's control was weak.

Passing through a small city-state, Lu Yu stopped for a short while, and a group of knights galloped past, raising dust for a while.

When Lu Yu, who was drinking tea, left, he found that the lively streets just now had become empty, and he was so conspicuous walking on the avenue.

After walking for a while, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind him, and a group of knights in armor used superb horsemanship to instantly surround Lu Yu in the center, and the breath of their horses slapped Lu Yu's face.

Feeling the hostility around him, Xu Yu was ready to draw his blood 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 citizen of the Church."

The Knight Commander extended his hand to Lu Yu, and Lu Yu found the Church certificate made by Sera for him and handed it over.

The Knight Commander carefully checked it, and then glanced at Lu Yu and Xuyou with a mischievous look. The knight beside him approached and whispered with him.

The expression on the Knight Commander's face changed, and he slowly handed the certificate of the Church to Lu Yu.

Before leaving, a knight loudly reminded: "I don't recommend you to continue. This road is not safe recently."

Lu Yu ignored it and continued his journey with the merchant caravan that he met on the way and agreed to hitchhike with them, but he would soon understand why the knight shouted like this.

As night fell, Lu Yu, who had learned a little about the situation in several border towns of Solon according to Laurend's request, sat on a stone, and Xuyou beside him closed his eyes to rest. The two seemed to be waiting for something.

The merchant team of dozens of people was very lively. They carried a lot of goods and their destination was the forest elf territory north of the ridge of the angry mountain.

Goods from Solon are very popular with the elves. The elves especially like exquisite utensils and beautiful silk clothes made by humans. For this reason, they are even willing to exchange extremely precious things. Merchants often make unexpected wealth in transactions with elves.

Most merchants carry a large amount of clothes, utensils, and decorations when they go, and they will bring a large number of elf slaves when they return.

The elves are also hostile to each other, and the war has never stopped. The captives captured in the war naturally become part of the extra income. Although the visionary elves among the elves proposed that the captives should not be sold to Solon, there will always be people who will do this to make extra money.

The more black humor is that although the elves were one of the six major races when Solon was established, the sale of elf slaves was not prohibited. Solon only stipulated that elves with the identity of Solon’s people could not be sold, and foreign elves were not protected.

At this point, the four major countries achieved a rare unity.

The captain of the caravan's guard was a burly uncle, nicknamed Tree Branch - there was a tree branch-like scar on his face from a fight with bandits. Seeing Lu Yu and the other man sitting at the edge of the camp without eating or drinking, he took the initiative to bring a pot of wine to Lu Yu: "Do you really not drink?"

"Drinking is harmful to the body."

The uncle Tree Branch was extremely confused: "Hurtful... Then drink less, drinking can drive away the cold."

"No matter how moderate, alcohol is harmful to the body. In fact, I suggest not drinking at all. By the way, drinking cannot drive away the cold. After drinking, you will only feel warm for a short time, and then your body will dissipate heat faster, and you will only feel colder." Lu Yu said.

Uncle Tree Branch opened his mouth wide, a little confused: "Is that so..."

Seeing Uncle Tree Branch return to the team angrily, the guards on the side said with a smile: "I've said it before, he is from the Pope City, he has a lot of experience and is troublesome. How can such a person look down on the inferior wine we drink? Uncle, just save your breath.

The person who spoke reached out to grab the wine bag and gulped down a big mouthful.

"Why did the children of the Pope City run to the Fury Mountain Ridge? Are there any strange things besides beasts and monsters?"

"You don't understand. These children of the masters have been pampered since they were young. They listen to the adventure stories made up by the bards and read the pretentious poems and articles. They naturally have a good impression of adventure and the distance. They have never seen the outside world, so they think that what they see and hear after coming out will be consistent with the stories told by the bards. They wish they could be heroes every day to save this and that, and satisfy their restless hearts, hiccups~~~~~~~~"

"There are no heroes, no ups and downs in the story... It's all boring and daily life, burp~~~~~~ I told them, but they didn't believe it. They always thought that the outside world was as comfortable as home."

The uncle smiled disapprovingly and didn't agree with the team member.

The guard team earns money by selling their lives. The people here have complicated experiences. The man in front of him used to be the captain of the guard in a noble family. I don't know what he did wrong, so he couldn't make it and joined them.

Here, don't pursue the past, don't talk about the past. This is the rule of the guard team, and it is also a tacit tenderness of the people who struggle for money in this desolate land. As long as you are willing to protect my back when fighting side by side, and are willing to keep your promise to send the money back home when you die, then you are a friend.

Everyone knows that the former captain of the guard hates the nobles, so most of them are tolerant of his words.

The guards had no ill will towards Lu Yu. They were simply curious about why a young master who looked weak and had to sit down because his feet hurt after walking a long distance would run out alone.

Where were his family guards?

Lu Yu didn't know that he had been imagined by these casually met members of the merchant guards as a pampered young master. He carefully checked his feet and touched the blisters on them. He couldn't help but sigh: "You traveled for so long without any problems, and now you have been comfortable for a while, and you have become pampered..."

Xu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the forest in the distance, and whispered: "Someone is coming."

Lu Yu glanced at the guards beside him who were still eating and drinking, and thought of the secret sentries they had arranged around them before, and said: "It seems that those secret sentries are dead."

Lu Yu stood up, and the palace guard who was sleeping behind Xu Yu also woke up.

Lu Yu pointed to the sky and ordered: "Spray the flames into the sky."

A column of fire shot up into the sky, and the merchant guards who were eating and drinking were instantly startled, and their eyes focused on the palace guard and Lu Yu.

"Don't look at me, blow a whistle and see if your companions who are on guard for you can respond." Lu Yu couldn't help but want to question the professionalism of this group of people, but he held back.

The uncle with the tree branch was startled when he heard the words, and blew two whistles 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 relaxed guards quickly armed.

Lu Yu stared at the darkness, remembered Laurent's instructions, and murmured: "Is this what you asked me to come to the Angry Mountain Ridge to see 'by the way'..."
