After speaking, the other party "Smack!" The small window was closed, and Lu Kuan waited patiently for a while, and the wooden door opened with a "squeak~".
Behind the door was a short guy, only as tall as Lu Kuan's chest, but his body was thicker than Lu Kuan's, and he looked extremely strong.
This guy looked like a dwarf at first glance, but if you looked closely, you could see that the other party had thin scales on his ears and chin, and his eyes were not the jet-black that dwarves usually have, but the yellow-brown color of a cold-blooded animal.
Lu Kuan knew that this guy was a hybrid descendant of a lizard and a dwarf.
In the game world, as long as it is a half-blood race, the social status is extremely low, including common elves combined with other races, resulting in half-elves, and similar half-orcs and so on.
Because in the worldview of "Echoes of the Gods", the word "bloodline" is something that every NPC can't avoid.
For these creatures who can't choose their origins, they are born inferior, no matter what industry they enter or what they make a living, they have to face other people's strange eyes and discrimination.
It was not the first time Lu Kuan had seen the other party, and he didn't show anything unusual on the surface, but smiled at the other party and walked in with his head down.
At the moment when Lu Kuan crossed the other party, a line of prompt text popped up in his field of vision.
"Black Knife's +10 opinion of you"
Lu Kuan smiled slightly when he saw it, and his footsteps did not stop.
The room was not as oppressive as it looked from the outside, and through two small doors, Lu Kuan soon came to a spacious hall.
There were 3 tables here, and there were four or five people sitting at each table, some humans, some orcs, and more half-bloods like black knives.
As soon as Lu Kuan walked into the room, he felt that several eyes were focused on him.
Some of these people were drinking with beer kegs, some were polishing with shiny scimitars, and there was even a guy who looked like a jackal, carving a snow-white skull with a knife, and the "rustling" sound of bones making people's scalps tingle.
Even if it wasn't the first time Lu Kuan came here, he still felt a chill in his back, and he couldn't help but sigh at the realism of the game scenes and tasks.
However, in addition to scrutiny, these people's eyes were more vigilant, because Di Mi beside Lu Kuan was too windy, and the wild aura that was different from ordinary beasts made everyone in the room shocked.
"You want to see the Viscount?" A half-orc warrior in a black vest stood up from the table, his head almost up to the not-so-high roof, staring at Lu Kuandao with an unkind face.
"Yes, I want to buy some news." Lu Kuan glanced around, then nodded.
Hearing Lu Kuan say this, someone immediately burst into laughter: "Buy news? The guy who came to buy the news last time, how did he deal with it later? โ
"I was broken and thrown into the stinky ditch behind."
"Haha~I don't know what's wrong~"
The dark-green half-orc warrior took two steps towards Lu Kuan, his face unkind: "Boy, don't think about any ghost ideas, is it the city guard sent you, or is it that stupid person from Gotar?" โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room immediately stood up in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Seeing this, Dimi immediately blocked in front of Lu Kuan, lowered his body and bared his teeth, and let out a threatening low roar, and at the same time, the mane on his neck was windless and automatic, like a burning black flame!
Lu Kuan frowned slightly, he knew the secrets and inside story here, but at this moment, Lu Kuan was worried about Meng Ge, how could he have time to follow the plot step by step?
"Guys, there's no need to come to this old routine,"
Lu Kuan glanced at the other party, took out the book he had copied before directly from his backpack, raised his hand and threw it to the green-skinned orc warrior: "Take this to Pythasos, he will meet me." โ
Hearing Lu Kuan's words, most of the people in the room showed puzzled looks, because they had never heard of who Pythasos was, and they thought that Lu Kuan was bluffing, and someone couldn't help but come over and teach Lu Kuan a lesson.
Only the half-orc warrior looked startled, and although he quickly covered it up, his eyes had changed when he looked at Lu Kuan.
"Wait,"
The half-orc warrior stopped his irascible companion, glanced at Lu Kuan with a deep gaze, and said, "Adventurer, you wait a while." โ
After speaking, the half-orc warrior turned around and walked into another door, and the rest of the people didn't move again when they saw the boss speak, but there were already three people who silently touched behind Lu Kuan, and blocked the door with the black knife.
Lu Kuan looked relaxed, found a chair to sit down, and gently stroked Dimi's head to calm the manic head wolf.
At the same time, Lu Kuan also contacted the person in charge of Dark Heaven in Iron Boots City.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Because he had already received the order of Heaven Eternal Darkness, the other party saw that it was a message from Lu Kuan, and he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied.
"I'm going to bother you with something......
Lu Kuan said politely, told the other party about Meng Ge's appearance, and asked the other party to help find it near Iron Boots City.
The other party agreed very simply, and after hanging up the call, he immediately summoned 4 squads from the guild, two in the city and two outside the city to level up, looking for the halfling person that Lu Kuan said.
Hanging up the call and looking at the people around him with unkind faces, Lu Kuan smiled in his heart, and Lu Kuan didn't care about the obvious hostility revealed by these people.
The various contradictions between the mixed-race race and other races are no longer a day or two.
As the master of the underground world of Iron Boots City, the "Viscount" has never appeared in front of outsiders, except for Lu Kuan, I am afraid that no one has heard of this great name.
"Viscount" is not the title of this person, to be precise, it should be his "nickname".
"Squeak~"
Lu Kuan was smoothing out the memories of his previous life, when the wooden door on the opposite side was gently opened, and the sturdy figure of the half-orc warrior barely squeezed out of the door, and then bent down and stood respectfully at the door, and the other people in the room also stood up from their seats.
Under Lu Kuan's gaze, a slightly emaciated figure walked out of the shadows behind the door.
Anyone who sees the viscount for the first time will inevitably be surprised - although it can be seen at a glance that the other party has a mixed blood of humans and orcs, but unlike the half-orc warriors he usually sees, the male in front of him has significantly more human characteristics.
Whether it is the body shape, hairstyle, face, or even eyes, there are distinctly human characteristics.
Only the slightly brownish skin, the two miniature canine teeth protruding from the corners of the mouth, and the "cute" bun on the back of the head can show some orc features.
If you ignore these, the other party is a passerby on the street.
But how dare Lu Kuan take it lightly?
Whether it is a room full of hunk men, or even Lu Kuan himself, when he walks on the floor of the house, he will make a "crunch" sound.
But the guy in front of him walked over with easy steps as if he had no weight, and the broken floor on the ground didn't make a sound!
