"Otsuki."
In the guest room, Li Pin had already changed into new clothes.
He glanced at the several newly delivered books written in Tianyuan language on the desk, and quickly found one of them, "Molongzhi", and started reading it.
"The Land of All Saints."
A very resounding name.
But behind the loudness, it means that this country basically has no outstanding star refiners.
The current Dayue Kingdom has long lost the glory it had more than 60 years ago.
Not only was the country divided into more than 300 warlords of varying sizes, with endless fighting and chaos, but also because it bordered the Empire and the Shang Dynasty, there were open and covert struggles between these two major forces.
In addition, there are also many companies like Sun Glory and Star Alliance who have placed people to suck blood from this country which cannot be considered a country.
For decades, Otsuki's development has completely stagnated, becoming a veritable third world country.
If we still consider it as a whole...
The per capita GDP is definitely among the bottom three in the world.
"Wow, this Mo Long Zhi is quite interesting. According to its description, the outside world has been completely conquered by ferocious beasts and monsters? If you dare to go there, you will definitely become food for the ferocious beasts. Even the countries surrounding Mo Long Country are living in dire straits, with killing, war, ferocious beasts, monsters... It's almost as if you are going to die if you leave Mo Long Country."
Li Yin looked at the book.
Brainwashing education.
Unfortunately, Dayue has hardly developed since the turbulent times. Not to mention the Internet and connecting with the world, the national electricity coverage rate is less than one-tenth.
Li Yin glanced out the window...
As night had already fallen, except for the lord's courtyard which was brightly lit, there were only a few spots of light in the entire Xiangye City, and the town looked dark overall.
This is because Xiangye City belongs to the seat of this lord, and other villages...
Many people probably don’t even know what electronic products are.
"Once a Star Refiner is detected, he will be taken away by the Empire, the Great Shang, the Sunshine, and the Star Alliance. Ordinary people can only practice martial arts if they want to turn their lives around. They cannot get nutritional supplements during martial arts training, and many people will basically ruin their bodies. However, this is the only way out for the Dayue people..."
Li Pin thought of the master-level guard beside Wen Yusheng.
This grandmaster is clearly the truest portrayal of an Otsuki warrior.
"As long as you don't die from practicing, then practice until you die. How much blood and death are behind the Land of All Saints?"
Li Yin pondered.
He spent half an hour flipping through the book.
Comparing the information in the books with the visual experience of just one day, he could already tell that compared to the Dayue people Taibai and Tianyuan people, they were simply living in heaven.
While I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
It's time for dinner.
Li Yin came to the restaurant under the guidance of Qiao Wen, where many people were already waiting.
In addition, there were more than ten servants busying around.
"Li Wusheng."
Wen Yusheng greeted Li Pin.
At the same time, introduce the people around you to him.
Three wives, four daughters, and five sons.
and…
That doesn’t seem to be all.
At the dinner table, Wen Yusheng entertained Li Pin while introducing him to the conditions of Molong Country and Xiangye City.
Although Xiangye City, the political center of Xiangye City, has a population of only 60,000, the actual population of the entire Xiangye City territory exceeds 300,000.
There are dozens of similar territories in the Kingdom of Molong, and the populations vary.
The number ranges from millions to hundreds of thousands.
The total population of the entire Molong Kingdom is over 30 million. The Molong royal family behind it is one of the top ten warlords in Dayue, and it occupies an area of over one million square kilometers.
Of course, this doesn't mean much.
Because the population and area of Molong Kingdom are changing all the time.
Like Wen Yusheng, he has been the lord of Xiangye Territory for only nine years. The previous lord was defeated and surrendered due to the invasion of the hostile force Kanyun Kingdom. After Xiangye City was liberated, he was executed by the Molong royal family.
The reason why he was able to become a lord was that, on the one hand, he had made great contributions in foreign wars, and on the other hand, he had an eldest son who was extremely talented in martial arts. At the age of thirty, he had already become a martial saint and now served the third prince of the Molong royal family.
Since both parties were not very familiar with each other, the conversation ended after a brief exchange.
Li Pin returned to her room. There were almost no entertainment activities in the entire Xiangye City.
Not to mention shopping, watching movies, or playing games, there’s not even any TV to watch.
Not that there isn't, but...
No signal is being received.
Li Pin had no choice but to continue reading.
"The Dayue script has been completely abandoned. Currently, the Molong Kingdom, or the entire Dayue territory, mainly uses two languages, the Great Shang language and the Imperial language. Since the Molong Kingdom is closer to the Empire, the Imperial language is used more..."
Li Yin checked the map.
The Empire and the Shang Dynasty are located in South Star Island and North Star Island respectively. Both continents are thick in the middle and narrow on both sides, and the thick part in the middle is Dayue.
During the heyday, both the Empire and the Shang Dynasty were under the threat of Dayue.
When Otsuki was at its peak, the predecessor of the current empire even held a referendum to join Otsuki, but was rejected by Otsuki in disdain.
Now...
Whether it is the Empire or the Shang Dynasty, on the one hand, they are unable to take care of their own domestic affairs, and on the other hand, they also intend to use Dayue as a buffer zone.
At the same time, having finally brought down this superpower, these two countries absolutely do not want to see a unified Great Moon reappear.
Under this almost tacit attitude, there were endless wars and warlords in Dayue.
After reading these descriptions, Li Yin fell silent.
After a while, he slowly said, "Didn't you say... that the human race's situation has reached a critical point?"
so…
No matter how critical the situation is, they have to ensure the interests of the countries they belong to first
This is the case with the Shang Dynasty, the Empire, and Tianyuan...
That's also true.
He sat in the chair for a long time without saying a word.
…
The next day.
Li Pin woke up early.
As the lord of Xiangye City, Wen Yusheng naturally has his own security team.
In addition, there is an army of 600 people stationed outside Xiangye City.
After Li Pin finished his breakfast and went downstairs, he saw many people gathered together to exercise and practice martial arts.
Not only members of the security team were among them, but also Wen Yusheng’s three adult and nearly adult sons.
The person responsible for teaching them martial arts was an old master.
"Good morning, Li Wusheng."
Qiao Wen came hurriedly and greeted Li Yin with a smile.
During this period, he had been appointed as Li Yin's exclusive translator.
"Please help me find some books to learn the language of business."
Li Yin said.
"Da Shang language?"
Qiao Wen was stunned.
"Well, I have some basic knowledge of business language, so I will learn it faster."
Li Yin said, "Also, Dashang language is also the main language, right?"
"Of course, I will tell the Lord right away."
"Haha, I've asked someone to prepare it."
At this time, a voice came from the house, and then Wen Yusheng came out: "It seems that Li Wusheng intends to stay with us for a while longer. If Li Wusheng is interested, I can help him apply for the household registration of Molong Country."
"Let's wait and see."
As Li Yin spoke, his eyes fell on an old man beside him.
"Let me introduce you. This is Qiao Yuanshan, Mr. Qiao."
Wen Yusheng said with a smile.
Li Yin didn't say anything, but just looked him up and down.
The "substantial" weight contained in his gaze made Qiao Yuanshan frown: "What a strong martial spirit... But I'm afraid it's a bit rude for Li Wusheng to look at me like this."
Li Yin looked at him in silence.
After a while, he said, "If you don't take care of yourself, you may not live for more than a year."
These words immediately changed Qiao Yuanshan's expression: "Who are you!?"
"Take good care of yourself."
Li Yin looked at him and sighed: "Your real age... is less than fifty."
Not even fifty yet, already looking like this...
He turned to Wen Yusheng and said, "I plan to go to the ancient orc battlefield to see what's going on. Could you please, Lord Wen, arrange for someone to lead the way?"
"good."
Wen Yusheng nodded and turned to the Grandmaster behind him: "Yan Yu..."
"I'll go."
Qiao Yuanshan interrupted, "I understand some Tianyuan dialect, so at least I don't need Xiaowen to go with me as an interpreter."
After listening to this, Wen Yusheng pondered for a moment and nodded.
Soon, he called someone over and gave him some instructions.
The man drove away quickly.
A…
It seems that this off-road vehicle has been used for many years and has been modified.
"Does Li Wusheng need to bring any weapons? We can arrange..."
"An ordinary heavy sword will do."
Li Pin said.
There is no telling what dangers there are in the ancient battlefield of orcs, but there are weapons at hand...
Even if the weapon is not even a star weapon, it can at least add some lethality.
At that moment, Li Bin and Qiao Yuanshan got in the car and quickly left Xiangye City.
Although the roads in Xiangye City are full of potholes, they are at least cement roads. But soon after leaving Xiangye City, the cement road turns into a gravel road, and then into a dirt road, and the speed of vehicles slows down significantly.
Fortunately, the car is powerful and it didn’t rain, otherwise…
"Not much faster than walking."
Li Pin was speechless.
Looking at the big pothole ahead that could cause a car to flip over if one wasn't careful, he couldn't help but say to Qiao Yuanshan, who must be of a very important status, "By the way, your Lordship is really not going to repair this road?"
"Building roads is not that easy. On the one hand... there is no money, and on the other hand..."
Qiao Yuanshan paused: "It will be destroyed."
"destroy?"
Li Pin was stunned.
Then I realized that Otsuki...
Three hundred warlords are constantly fighting.
Although Xiangye City is not considered a border town of Molong Kingdom, it is less than a hundred kilometers away from the border of the hostile Kanyun Kingdom.
"Li Wusheng, your skin color and your temperament make us believe that you are unlikely to be from our hostile forces, but please forgive me for offending you... The people of this land have suffered greatly, and I hope that you come here with good intentions."
Qiao Yuanshan said in a deep voice.
Li Yin glanced toward the roadside.
We happened to pass by a village...
The whole village has a large population, estimated to be several hundred, but there is not even one decent building to be seen. Most of them are thatched huts. You can tell without looking that it will rain heavily when it rains.
On the street, most of the children were naked and running barefoot on the gravel road.
When he saw the vehicle coming, he quickly hid back in fear.
Many people probably don’t even have many pieces of furniture at home.
Such a place...
Who would have an idea
Li Yin shook his head: "I am just using this place to practice temporarily."
"So."
Qiao Yuanshan bowed slightly to him and said, "For guests who come with good intentions, we will do our best to meet all of Li Wusheng's requests."
