Chapter 373: The Land of the Far West
Chapter 374
The other party's surprising appearance attracted Cheng Dalei's attention, it was a man, his golden hair was glued together, there was blood hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his hands were tied to the back of the horse with hemp rope.
This is clearly not a Middle-earthite. Cheng Dalei has been in the grassland for so long, and he has also heard some rumors.
It is rumored that outside the Qinchuan Pass, there is a country in the far west across the desert and mountains. The appearance and customs of the people there are completely different from those of the empire, and they are called the Yi people.
There are often caravans of the Yi tribe coming here, so this place is no stranger to the Yi tribe, and Silver Eyes has half of the blood of the Yi tribe in his body.
Cheng Dalei is still very curious about this legendary country in the far west, but he has been here for so long, and he has not met a Yi caravan once, and today is the first time he has seen a person from the Yi tribe.
His eyes fell on the Rong clan and asked, "What's your name?"
"Black Dog Department Blackhorn. The man put his hand on his chest.
Cheng Dalei's eyes fell on the Yi tribe and said, "I want this person, you take my arrows to Qinchuan Pass to exchange food." ”
Cheng Dalei threw out a crossbow arrow, Wujiao raised his hand to catch it, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to send it to Cheng Dang's family, and we are embarrassed to take Cheng Dang's food." ”
"Okay, okay, when did you Rong people learn to be so polite. Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "How did this person come here?"
"I encountered it on the grassland, and I didn't say a word after I was caught. "Blackhorn.
The Yi tribe was sent to Cheng Dalei, and Cheng Dalei swung his sword to cut off the hemp rope in his hand, and looked at him.
"I'm Qinchuan Guan Cheng Da Lei, what's your origin?"
The man looked at Cheng Dalei with unease, confusion, fear, and curiosity in his eyes.
"Why, can't speak the Imperial language?"
Although the empire was repeatedly defeated in the wars with the Rong people, there is no doubt that the empire's culture is strong. The Rong people do not have their own language or script, and although some small tribes have strange dialects, most of them still use Imperial dialect as the lingua franca.
As for the situation in the Far West, Cheng Dalei doesn't know it, and he can't speak the language here.
"Kane Doyle of the Norton Kingdom, see the process master. The man bowed his head slightly with one hand. The Imperial dialect is quite standard, but the accent is a little strange.
The Far West is just the Empire's name for others, and in other people's homes, they call themselves the Kingdom of Norton.
I originally planned to go out with Fan Lihua to relax today, but I didn't expect to encounter Kane, and it would be ruined if I had a good distraction. Cheng Dalei took Kane back to Qinchuan Pass, first asked him to clean up with him, and the wounds on his body were briefly treated.
Cheng Dalei is still very curious about this country of the extreme west itself, according to rumors, the country of the extreme west is good at strange tricks and tricks, and there are many strange gadgets, such as the clairvoyant mirror from the country of the extreme west.
After Kane cleaned up, Xu Shenji led him to the General's Mansion. Cheng Dalei was sitting in the hall drinking tea leisurely, and when he saw Xu Shenji leading Kane in, Cheng Dalei couldn't help but be stunned.
This man was really handsome, with golden hair draped over his shoulders, blue eyes as deep as the sea, and a strong and tall body, as toned as an ancient Greek sculpture.
"Thank you Cheng Dalei for saving me, I would like to pay you my highest respect, and I will never forget your kindness. ”
"Alright, alright, don't be so polite. Cheng Dalei waved his hand and asked Kane to sit down.
"How did you get here?"
"I set off with the caravan, but I encountered a storm on the way, got lost with everyone, and finally fell into the hands of that group of barbarians, if it wasn't for Cheng Dangjia to save me, I'm afraid I would have been tortured to death by that group of barbarians. ”
Speaking of this, Kane gritted his teeth, it seems that not only in the eyes of the Empire, but also in the Norton Kingdom, the Rong people are also barbarians.
Cheng Dalei still focuses on learning about the situation in the Norton Kingdom from Kane, and Cheng Dalei has always wanted to know the full appearance of this world. Now that a foreigner has finally come, and he can speak imperial Chinese, how can Cheng Dalei let it go.
According to this Kane, starting from the Qinchuan Pass, you can enter the Norton Kingdom through the grasslands, deserts, and mountains. The kingdom of Norton was very large, and according to Kane's boast, it was 100,000 kilometers from south to north.
Of course, Cheng Dalei felt that this Kane bragging was very important. Just like the people of the empire also like to brag that there are 90,000 miles of rivers and mountains, in fact, how is it possible.
However, it is a fact that the Kingdom of Norton is very large, and now their emperor is Norton IX, and it seems that the reputation is not good.
There are governors below the emperor, and there are feudal kings everywhere, and their positions are not much different from those of the city lords of the empire.
With the lag of information in this era, it is impossible to have a complete centralized system, and both the Norton Kingdom and the Empire adopt the method of princely autonomy. In a way, the imperial system was even more advanced.
However, there is one thing that the Norton Kingdom does not have in the Empire, and that is the Holy See.
The myths and legends of the Kingdom of Norton are as follows: the world was created by the gods in their sleep, and the souls of the gods turned into gods to rule over the world.
The power of the Holy See in the kingdom was enormous, they built temples in various places, bought and sold slaves, usurped land, and even the succession of the throne of the kingdom was decided by the pope.
As for the infidels in the kingdom, the Holy See is even more exterminated, and when caught, they are hanged, beheaded, and burned at the stake.
And this Kane happened to be a heretic. At the beginning, he lied to Cheng Dalei, where did he come to do business, he simply came to flee.
So, there are also chicken thieves in the Norton Kingdom.
Cheng Dalei could see that this Kane wanted to stay here. In contrast, the empire is more prosperous than his hometown, and it is not unreasonable for the empire to call the four foreign countries wild.
What's more, Kane is now cornered.
Cheng Dalei also had the intention of taking him in, at least to broaden his horizons, but Kane lied to Cheng Dalei at the beginning, and Cheng Dalei didn't mind being on the shelf.
"What does Lord Kane believe in?"
"I am a bard, a wind elf who believes in freedom. ”
"Oh, that's nothing. ”
No wonder you want to escape, the kingdom doesn't raise idlers, and Qinchuan Pass doesn't raise idlers.
Cheng Dalei read his information below by the way.
Name: Kane Doyle (top bard from a foreign country)
Age: 27
Skills: Language proficiency
Hidden attribute: Believer of the Wind
Tsk, it's a rare character with hidden attributes, but I don't know what this 'Wind Believer' is for.
Cheng Dalei couldn't stand Kane, and finally told Cheng Dalei the truth.
There were about fifty or sixty of them, all of them heathens from the kingdom. Now that their people are stuck in one place, Kane was sent out to find the way.
"Is there anyone else? ”
Cheng Dalei thought about whether there would be the talents he wanted in this wave of people.
