An hour after the student team set off, the news reached the Odyssey border, in the Azure City.

Thanks to the rapid development of this era, communication crystals are no longer a rare thing, although they are still a little bulky and difficult to use, but compared to the carrier pigeons and human communication decades ago, it is a great improvement.

Teal City is one of the Odyssey Border Cities, and if there is one thing that is slightly different from the others, it is that it is the city where General Orton is stationed.

Outland is the son of General Orton's family, and in terms of generation, he is the nephew of General Orton and the cousin of Omelik. Unlike the talented Omelik, Otrian belongs to the level of ordinary people, not even a cultivator, after he graduated, he entered the banner of General Orton according to the family arrangement and became a clerk.

Fortunately, Outland has a little specialty, that is, he has a good memory, which is unusual among most of the family members who are reckless, which also allows him to climb through the ranks of the army, and now he has become the adjutant of General Orton, responsible for the affairs of Azure City.

With Outland's current status, it can be described as a smash hit, General Orton's adjutant is not everyone's can, which can be regarded as General Orton's recognition of his achievements, but Outland gradually began to be dissatisfied with the status quo, he was not satisfied with just being a general's adjutant.

Prime Minister of a country is what Outland now thinks is the most suitable position for him.

But...... You can't rush, you have to take it one step at a time.

Outland is a moderate, he likes to get what he wants, and if he takes any risk, he will definitely weigh it up and make sure it doesn't endanger himself, or ...... General Orton will not be endangered.

It's the same with taking the Odyssey Kingdom into the bag, it's too difficult to take over an entire country, even General Orton has the possibility of failure, and Outland believes that it's best to take it step by step, chew it slowly, and put the Odyssey on the stomach a little bit.

Outland knows that although General Orton claims to have 200,000 troops, these troops are distributed on the border line of Odyssey as guards, and about half of them are local militiamen.

What's more, the other nobles are not just watching, these nobles who only have family interests in their minds are best at seeing the wind and steering, and the power they have at their disposal cannot be underestimated, if you want to say that the most physically and mentally exhausting thing about Outland is dealing with these nobles.

Obviously, Outland is also a nobleman, but he always feels that he is different from others, and even a little out of place.

However, as long as the status quo is maintained, the Odyssey will sooner or later be General Orton's, and once a country goes downhill, there will be no room for turnaround, and it will only run wild all the way until it is destroyed.

And until the Odyssey is in his hands, General Orton must not have any surprises.

Therefore, after receiving this information, Outland immediately went to see General Orton and reported this information to his superiors.

Not for anything else, just because there is a big trouble in this team.

Canglong Yueying, this young man who came back with the Blue Moon Princess, a disabled person with a broken hand and a disfigured face, is a genuine level 6, according to Omelik's report, he even uses coercion - this is already a manifestation of the edge of promotion, and anyone with a normal brain would despise such a cultivator.

You must know that even General Orton has been hovering outside the threshold of level 7 for so many years, and although Outland is not a cultivator, he also understands the threat of Tsukizakura.

General Orton usually lives in the training ground of Azure City, and like the rumors outside, General Orton is a martial arts idiot, eating, sleeping and other necessary things, General Orton will stay in his own special training ground, either self-meditation, or competition with his subordinates, or fight to the death with cultivators from outside who seem to be able to fight.

Outland asked General Orton's subordinates, but he didn't get an answer as to why General Orton did this, but this was not a big deal, after all, the stronger General Orton, the more the other nobles did not dare to make mistakes. What Outland has to do is to choose General Orton's opponent well, which can ensure General Orton's state without making him too boring.

After much defense, Outland finally met General Orton at the training ground.

General Orton, like other family members, has gray-black hair and pale blue eyes, and his body is covered with scars from years of combat and training, but it also makes General Orton full of explosive muscles all over his body.

General Orton, who had received the news of Outland's arrival, was not practicing his sword, and after reading the report, he tossed it aside and picked up his sword again.

"General?" asked Outland tentatively.

General Orton was silent, and with a swing of his sword, he cut off half of the head of the iron dummy in front of him, and this neat swordsmanship made Outlan stunned, "A challenger." He turned his head, his pale blue eyes exuding majesty, "If you dare to challenge, then cut off his head." ”

"It's what you've always done. ”

"In that case, let's go the old way. General Orton turned, "It's your job. ”

"But this man is dangerous—"

"You think I'm going to lose?"

“…… No, you are the strongest cultivator. ”

"Now that you understand, let's go down. ”

"Can you call the five adults back? I guess just in case. "Outland wants to fight for it again.

General Orton did not speak, but raised his sword and slashed at the dummy.

For this trip, Yueying feels quite comfortable, staying in high-end hotels along the way, and eating the best local food. Although he is an acolyte, there is no one to call him, and Tsukizakura is wandering around every day except for the car - if there is a little more money in his pocket, it will be more comfortable.

Of course, some people have a lot of complaints about people like Yueying who have nothing to do, but because of Lan Yue's identity, no one dares to say it in the open.

As for Lan Yue, she has not shown up since she set off, and she usually eats by maids to her room or carriage, and avoids it when local nobles come to meet her. The external reason is that Her Royal Highness the princess is in poor health, but as for the real reason...... No one dared to ask.

Omelik thinks he knows, but Tsukizakura doesn't want to know.

In a small town still a day's journey from the Teal City, the team stopped to recuperate for a while, and after leaving the country, they had to go straight to the place where the game was taking place, and there was no time to rest again.

As usual, the teacher who led the team chartered the best hotel in the town, which was reimbursed by public funds, and everyone would not treat themselves badly.

Acquaintances go to drink together, students stay in hotels to rest or meditate, restless people wander around the town, they are all aristocrats, and those who dare to harass these students have no good fruit to eat.

As for the squires, they either went to take care of the horses or followed their masters.

Therefore, Tsukizakura, who walks around the town alone, seems a little unusual.

"Here...... It's the same as in other towns. ”

There are two major races in the Odyssey Kingdom, one is a human in the traditional sense, and the other is an orc like Ferdy.

Although Ferdy didn't say anything, Tsukizakura was not completely blind, and he could see the gap between humans and orcs. On an avenue, humans basically walk in the center, and as for the orcs, they are either in the narrow places on both sides of the road, or they hide in the shadows under the eaves, and the two races are distinct, and sometimes they can be distinguished by the clothes they wear.

The way to tell the difference is very simple, it is nothing more than that humans are more glamorous and orcs are more tattered.

Orcs used to be low-status slaves, and Tsukizakura had also heard from Blue Moon, who also lamented that even if slavery was abolished, people's attitudes would not change immediately. Although Tsukizakura doesn't understand, she can understand it a little.

After all, Tsukizakura had lived in a pure orc territory like the Western Wasteland for several years, and he was very clear about the sense of confrontation between humans and orcs.

In the Empire, which has not yet abolished slavery and borders the Western Wastelands, there are merchants or nobles who specialize in hunting orc slaves, and this profession is protected by the Empire, so the conflict between humans and orcs has never stopped on the border between the Empire and the Western Wastelands.

When she was practicing under the Yakumo Sect, Tsukizakura was often attacked by other orcs, also because she looked like a human.

Tsukizakura didn't understand why there was such a big conflict between humans and orcs, because in his opinion, orcs were nothing more than people with beast ears, sharp teeth, and claws. I've heard that some orcs have tails and look more like beasts in shape, but Tsukizakura hasn't seen it, so it's probably just a country legend.

But the moon cherry blossom is more strange, obviously the Odyssey is very far away from the Western Wasteland, why are there orcs here?

As Tsukizakura looked around, he suddenly felt something move in his arms, and a moment later, a small orange puppet emerged from the gap between his collar.

"Tsukizakura. Alice's voice reached his ears.

“…… Huh?"

"Come to Blue Moon's room. With that, the doll retracted into its clothes.

How did Alice's doll get into my arms?

Tsukizakura was more shocked by this than the rumors.
