Eva arranged the clothes for Lu Zhiyu. She wore a light red pullover with a belt on the upper body, white underwear underneath, white trousers and black boots on the lower body. It is a very popular combination and style in Niah City.
"Okay, that's it!"
Eva served breakfast. Although it made no difference to Lu Zhiyu whether he ate or not, this habit of eating food was still retained.
"Master, where are you going today? Or to the National Library?" Eva poured a glass of wine for Lu Zhiyu.
The National Library is the largest library in Niah City. It has collected some books that Lu Zhiyu has not read in recent years. Lu Zhiyu also stopped by to browse them and packed a copy.
"I'm not going today. Let's go watch the excitement on the street together."
The streets of Niah City are very lively today, because the envoys from the orc country, the Holy Sevier Empire, will arrive in the city in the near future to meet with the Emperor of Crete, Zolman II. This is the relationship between the Cretan Empire and the Holy Sevier Empire. The empire's first establishment of diplomatic relations was also the first time in many years that humans and orcs had sent envoys to each other. Both sides intended to ease the tense relationship between the human and orc races.
At the same time, all original country-to-country exchanges will be reduced to zero, and economic and trade can only be carried out in private. To further improve the situation, the two sides are ready to negotiate and sign a series of border trade agreements, as well as a series of cooperation matters between countries. At the same time, the Holy Sevier Empire is making every effort to crack down on the slave trade dominated by orcs. This time it intends to have the Cretan Empire ban the use of orcs as slaves, and plans to release and return a large number of orc slaves.
However, the latter one involves a large number of interests, not only from the Crete Empire, but also from the orc country. Some nobles in the orc country are also engaged in this kind of slave trade, and privately sell some weak orc racial groups to Slave traders in the human kingdom obtain a large amount of profits. This situation is repeated and has even formed a huge chain of interests. However, at the same time, a large number of human slaves continue to flow into the orc kingdom.
At the same time, the top leaders of the Cretan Empire also intend to continue the easing of relations and establishment of diplomatic relations with the Holy Sevier Empire to put further pressure on the Church of Light and force the Church of Light to make further concessions and compromises.
As the first establishment of diplomatic relations between the human country and the orc country, and the Holy Sevier Empire, as the first powerful dynasty to unite the orc country in the northern part of Alan continent, it aroused everyone's curiosity, and a large number of people were waiting on the streets early. , waiting for the envoys outside the city to cross the central King's Avenue in Niah City and meet His Majesty Emperor Zolman II.
The city gates were wide open in the early morning, and crowds of people were surging on the streets. Crowds of onlookers were everywhere in the streets and alleys. On the houses and rooftops, many girls and women crowded together, shouting towards the bottom. The most recent war between humans and the orc kingdom dates back forty years ago. At that time, it was the combined forces of the Crete Empire and the Church of Light that jointly destroyed the Kingdom of Menkaure. In less than a month, the country was destroyed and the city was massacred. The entire orc nation was horrified. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to take a step southward.
More than 40 years have passed, and some orcs may still maintain hatred and hostility towards humans, but humans have long forgotten the threat of the orc kingdom. For them, the orcs are nothing more than cold, barren, and desolate areas in the north. A weak barbarian race, compared to the prosperous and powerful human kingdom, they are just supporting characters on the Alan continent.
This kind of natural arrogance and contempt seems to exist in the hearts of everyone in the Cretan Empire. This time, they came to watch the envoys from the orc kingdom enter the city, and there were also barbarian races from the central border who came to worship at the upper court. They came to show off and see What it feels like to watch a monkey.
They have long forgotten that the orcs are an intelligent race that entered the castle age and civilization earlier than they did. A thousand years ago, they were a powerful existence that almost wiped out the human race. If it were not for the original king, Gold King Akhenaten led mankind out of satisfaction, fought to the death in the Red River Plain, and killed Costa, the twelfth generation of the orc wolf king.
I am afraid that the entire orc kingdom has already gone south and occupied the entire Alan continent. Humanity has also become a small branch of the orc kingdom. It may even have been exterminated by the orcs long ago. Just like the rat people who first established the orc civilization and city-state, now except for the orcs, Some small border tribes of the country can no longer be seen.
A large number of soldiers blocked the roads and maintained order. These were envoys from the orc kingdom. Although the Crete Empire looked down upon the orc kingdom, after all, the Sevier Empire was a large dynasty that unified the entire orc kingdom, with dozens of troops under its banner. Wan, no matter how much they despise them psychologically, no one dares to underestimate these hundreds of thousands of troops. In terms of etiquette, no one dares to neglect the other party.
The city gate opened, and a large number of lion knights wearing armor entered the city of Niah aggressively. There were long lines of human spearmen standing on both sides. At this moment, they saw this bloody aura that seemed to smell the smell of blood. The lion-man Northern Knight also felt a little frightened.
Whether you have been on the battlefield or not, you can tell at a glance whether you are a warrior who has fought in hundreds of battles. All the people in the city couldn't help but awed when they saw such cavalry entering the city. Hundreds of knights lined up in neat lines and entered the city of Niah. , and when it passed, everyone relaxed and started talking.
"Is this the orc cavalry? It feels like it's trying to eat people."
"Yes, I heard that these orc barbarians really like to eat people."
"It's so scary. I didn't expect these orcs to be not as weak as I thought."
"It doesn't look too different from us, but it's just a little hairier on the face."
"Is that leading general also an orc? You can't tell at all!"
These are the northern knights who accompanied Verdante to conquer the world, and the leader was Aaron Evans, one of the original Templars, Verdante's direct subordinate, the general and confidant who suppressed the Sevier Empire. , a direct subordinate who has followed Verdandy since the earliest days of the Amos Icefield, when he slayed the evil dragon Frost.
Aaron Evans is different from other Templars. He is a human. He is also an extremely special member among the top leaders of the orc kingdom. It is precisely because he is a human and his requirements, so this A mission to the Cretan Empire to establish relations between the Cretan Empire and the Holy Sevier Empire also sent him, a high-ranking person, and it also represented the importance he attached to the Cretan Empire. 8)
