Chapter 7 Foreigners (Thanks to the leader of Qianchiyuan Children’s Boots)
"Thank you." Li Yu took the handkerchief and nodded to the rabbit-eared girl.
Although the latter took the initiative to hand over the handkerchief, the vigilance on his face did not disappear, "Who are you and why do you appear here, wearing strange clothes and speaking a strange foreign language? What's even stranger is that I still I can understand what you are saying and how you do it.”
Li Yu did not immediately answer the rabbit-eared girl's question. After wiping his mouth, he first looked up at the crescent moon above his head, then at the mechanical watch and mobile phone in his hand.
Without exception, the time above all showed 10:05 in the morning, which was only five minutes after he ended the interview.
Li Yu asked, "Who are you, where are you, and that gadget on your chest... who gave it to you?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, probably thinking that these things were not a secret, so she replied, "I am Ilea from Green Field, the second daughter of Blood-Eyed Russ. This is Rock Snow City, the residence of Marquis Coulun."< br>
After she finished speaking, she paused, and when she saw that Li Yu had no reaction, she said in disbelief, "Oh my God, haven't you heard of my name, and don't you know who Marquis Cullen is?"
"As you said, I am a foreigner." Li Yu said. In fact, he was shocked by what happened to him.
Because all this is obviously not a prank, and it can no longer be explained by existing scientific theories.
He almost teleported from Room 8, which had only one chair, to this courtyard, and contacted him about the multiverse, string theory and the like that Xu Mengyuan had talked about before.
Although he still found it incredible, Li Yu had to begin to accept the possibility that he had arrived in another dimension.
Now he has no less doubts than the Miss Rabbit across from him. However, after all, Li Yu is a person living in the era of information explosion. He has been bombarded by movies, novels, and games for more than 20 years, and he is practicing in the workplace. After more than three years, the adjustment ability is obviously not comparable to that of Ilea from Green Field.
So after vomiting, Li Yu's expression basically returned to normal.
——Panic is the biggest enemy.
After realizing his current situation, Li Yu's first reaction was to collect as much information as possible, because no matter what action he planned to take next, information was essential.
"Then the last thing you should do in Rock Snow City is sneak into Marquis Cullen's mansion, foreigner." Ilea warned, "What's more, you are still a human."
"What's wrong with humans? Are you at war with humans?"
"Where are you from? Even people on the other side of the strait don't know anything about the basic situation of the empire." Ilea looked at Li Yu with more and more suspicion.
The latter just looked back at her calmly.
"I've always been the one answering your questions. Why don't you answer me?" Miss Rabbit muttered dissatisfiedly.
Li Yu still remained silent.
It's not that he doesn't want to speak, the main reason is that he knows nothing about this world, and the level of civilization here is obviously not as high as the plane he lives in. He is worried that if he doesn't say the right words, he will be killed.
After a while, Ilea compromised, "Forget it, these things are common sense. If you pick up anyone on the roadside, they will tell you that the Red Lion Empire was a country founded by orcs, humans and dwarfs. The strongest empire on the continent of Tis
"When the empire's founding emperor, Alexandro the Furious Lion, raised an army, he swore an oath in the name of his ancestors and gods on the banks of the red-leafed Wind Chime Lake. When the deed was accomplished, he would give it to all his followers, whether orcs, humans, or Dwarfs are treated equally, and are known as the alliance of the three tribes in history, but..."
"The angry lion later betrayed his oath?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows.
Ilea sighed, "That's not true. When Emperor Alessandro the Great was in power, he always kept the sacred oath with the other two races. However, after his death, the situation gradually changed. Compared with humans and dwarves, Orcs have considerable advantages in strength, endurance, and agility. Generally speaking, an orc warrior with the same training can defeat four human soldiers or at least seven dwarves.
"During the Unification War, the half-orc heroes once shone brightly. Later, the Great Emperor rewarded them for their merits. Many of them were also granted titles. Although there were some outstanding ones among the ancestors of humans and dwarfs, they were far more numerous. Not as good as the Orcs.
"Of course, the most important thing is that human life is too short. It only lasts for a few decades. The longest-lived individual among them can barely live for more than a hundred years. As for orcs, if nothing unexpected happens, they are generally over 200 years old. Some individuals The family even lived to be four hundred years old.
"This also means that they have more time in their lives to fight around, expand their territories, and accumulate honor. Over time, the number of humans and dwarf nobles in the upper echelons of the empire has become smaller and smaller, until today, six hundred years later. , Lionheart Castle has been firmly controlled by twelve orc families
"Most humans and dwarves have become commoners, and some small nobles have also chosen to attach themselves to the orc nobles and become their vassals.
"After losing the suppression of Emperor Alessandro, discrimination against humans and dwarfs became more and more common in the empire's aristocratic circles. If a human of unknown origin like you rashly breaks into the Marquis Mansion, if you are If the guard hits him, he can be executed on the spot without even being detained for interrogation.”
Li Yu was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Ilea, as a half-orc, was vaguely biased towards humans in her words. She seemed quite dissatisfied with the current situation.
"Foreigner, if you want to travel within the Red Lion Empire, you'd better get to know the local customs first, otherwise you will lose your life if you are not careful." Miss Rabbit warned, "Get rid of me now. If someone else finds you, get out of here quickly.”
"Where should I leave?" Li Yu asked.
? ? ?
"Leave where you came in." Ilea said as if this is your business, why are you asking me?
"I also want to go back the way I came, but the path I took when I came here is quite special... You should have seen it just now, it's like... it's like a magician started teleportation." Li Yu didn't know how to talk to Miss Rabbit To explain the multiverse and string theory, you can only try to use metaphors that the other party can understand.
As a result, the latter looked even more confused, "Magician, what is a magician? What is teleportation?"
"Oh, so there are orcs and dwarves in this plane, but there are no magic or magicians. What about the elves? What about the goblins?"
Miss Rabbit was about to answer when her long ears suddenly moved and her face changed, "No, someone is coming. Hide quickly. It will be bad if you are discovered."
Li Yu looked around and found that the trees in the courtyard were sparse, and most of them were smaller species. The tallest one was a laurel tree, which obviously couldn't hide the next adult.
The only place where it looked like he could hide was the flower bed next to him, but Li Yu just stretched out a leg and retracted it.
Ilea looked more anxious than him and urged, "Why are you still standing there stupidly? Get in quickly."
"Those are roses with thorns." Li Yu replied.
At this time, the footsteps were so close that even he could hear them, and the other side should also have noticed the conversation between Li Yu and Ilea, as the pace obviously accelerated.
It's too late to hide now.
So when Guard Captain Levin walked into the courtyard, what he saw was Ilea standing with a strange human male.
