Chapter 9: Other Races
"You are talking nonsense, I remember that our Saran Kingdom is not close to the sea, the direction you are pointing to is the sea!" Zhao Yu said the question in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Zha Hongliang shook his head disdainfully. "Yes, the east side of our country of Salan is indeed a sea. But what about going to sea? Do you think there's nowhere to go?"
Zhao Yu didn't understand what Zha Hongliang meant.
Zha Hongliang explained, and he muttered a lot. Although Zhao Yu was still a little confused, he could almost understand the general meaning.
There are three continents in Celos, and the one they are located in is called the Subancient Continent. Both the Kingdom of Saran and the Sauron Empire are located in the eastern part of the subancient continent. Among them, the Kingdom of Saran is also a country close to the sea, and half of its borders are seaside.
To the east of the Kingdom of Salan is a vast sea. However, if you continue to drive eastward, you will reach a place called the Revival Continent.
The Principality of Elia is one of the countries of the Restored Continent.
"I see. Zhao Yu read the words, "Anyway, this world of Saillos is really complicated!"
"What a complication. This is obviously the most basic geographical concept. Zhao Yu, don't you have any idea of the national position of Cellos?"
Seeing that Zhao Yu actually nodded, Zha Hongliang couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, what are you sighing for? How could I possibly know! No one has ever talked to me about this. Besides, how do you know that?"
Faced with Zhao Yu's question, Zha Hongliang replied honestly: "Oh, I have a relative at home who is a sports car and often runs around the country. Every time he came home, he would talk about some of his experiences. Those geographical concepts are naturally told to him by people in other big towns!"
Zhao Yu's face sank when he heard this: "What! What did you say about the basic concept just now, didn't you also rely on the mouth of a relative to know it, and your relative didn't only understand it by someone more outside? What qualifications do you have to say about me?"
A trace of embarrassment crossed Zha Hongliang's face, and he shook his hand with a broken one, "Oops, but that's it." What are you talking to me about geography?"
"Didn't you pull it out first?"
"I ...... Oops, okay. This topic will stop there. Where did you first mention it?"
"I remember you said ......," Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, "I mean that the Duchy of Elia will help us Saran." Well...... Is that right?
"Yes, exactly. Zha Hongliang raised his finger at Zhao Yu.
"Why would this country help us Saran?"
"Actually, it's very simple. Zha Hongliang smiled like a pass, "Every country doesn't want other countries to become stronger. Think about it, if the Sauron Empire is allowed to invade and annex other countries, won't the Sauron Empire become stronger and stronger? ”
"That's it!" Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully. But soon, his eyes slanted at Zha Hongliang, "What's the matter? Did your relatives tell you this?"
"Oh, didn't you say don't mention this again? I'm talking to you about state affairs carefully!"
"Good, good, good. Zhao Yu dragged a long note, and he also made a casual whistle. But it was still very fast, and he thought of something else.
If it is true as Zha Hongliang said, from the moment the Sauron Empire invaded Saran, the Duchy of Elia will come to the rescue. So, does it mean that this country called the Principality of Elia is also very strong?
Zhao Yu asked what he was thinking.
"Yes, exactly. The Principality of Elia is the most powerful nation in Seros, and its strength has never been doubted. ”
Zhao Yu noticed that when Zha Hongliang said 'the most powerful country', he did not add the word 'one'. Did he forget, or did he just say that the Principality of Elia was the number one in the world?
Zhao Yugang wanted to ask, but Zha Hongliang opened his mouth first.
"There's one more thing you need to know about the Duchy of Aria. Zha Hongliang suddenly put his index finger to his mouth, looking mysterious, "The race in this country is not human, but elven. ”
"Elf clan?" Zhao Yu half-opened his mouth.
He struggled to remember what the elves had been like in his past image. However, apart from a few vague outlines, it is no longer possible to sketch out the details of the picture.
Because Zhao Yu had never seen the elf clan, he naturally had no way of knowing their specific appearance. The outline of the elven clan depicted in Zhao Yu's mind was just a black-and-white sketch in some books.
"Yes! Zha Hongliang responded to Zhao Yu, and the smiling face was already grinning, "What are you doing? You still seem to be surprised? Cellos has never been just a human race. You know that, too!"
"Yes, I do. But...... Ah...... How do you say that?" Zhao Yu couldn't describe his current thoughts in words, he just felt that other races other than humans were extremely unfamiliar.
"I've never seen any other race, and I don't have a complete idea of any other race. It's true. To me, what kind of elves, like trolls, what other races...... Let me think about it. Oops, can't think of it. Zhao Yu hugged his facial features in embarrassment, "Anyway, I am very unfamiliar with races other than human beings. I've never seen any other race either. ”
What Zhao Yu said was exactly what Zha Hongliang had considered, and he also had a hundred questions about other races, and he didn't know what the difference between them and humans was.
However, this is normal. In a town like Vortex, it's almost impossible for other races to visit. Naturally, these two young people of Saran would not be familiar with other races.
"But!" Zha Hongliang straightened up excitedly as if he suddenly thought of something, "I was lucky enough to see other races once. Following the memory, Zha Hongliang's eyes narrowed day by day, "It was probably many years ago." I was a kid! Remember...... Whether it's six or seven, it's very young anyway. That's when my parents told me that there was a merchant corps from outside the town, or if it was of some other race. So I was curious and ran out to look. When I went, oh yes, it wasn't human, and I learned it was a goblin. ”
"Goblin Clan?" Zhao Yu began to think about what the Goblin Clan looked like again. But this time, not to mention the appearance, I can't even outline a little. The goblins seem to inhabit a long way from here.
"Yes, it's the goblins. Speaking of this, Zha Hongliang's face suddenly showed a tense look, and he seemed to be confiding the word 'disgusting'. He also used his palm-down hand to pan around his stomach, "Oh! This goblin looks like it! And they're very short, only up to the belly of a human. Sometimes I really don't understand how they pick things?"
"Oh, is there such a thing? How did I not know?"
"Maybe you prefer to stay at home and don't like to go out!"
Zhao Yu thought about it. However, he wondered why a team of goblin merchants suddenly appeared outside of Vortex Town. You know, this poor town is unlikely to even set foot in the country's merchant corps.
Zha Hongliang should have seen the question in Zhao Yu's heart, so he casually added: "Listen to what my father said, at that time, the goblin merchant team went to the Sauron Empire, and their stay outside our town was only for a little supply. ”
Sauron Empire again. Somehow, now Zhao Yu gets goosebumps all over his body as soon as he hears the name of this country.
"Anyway, after all these years, I haven't forgotten it. I guess it's because the goblin clan is too weird that I've always been unforgettable!"
"Hehe, I think the other races are weird, and we humans are the most iconic. ”
"Zhao Yu, you can't say that. You think that the symbol of human beings is because you are human! If it were other races, I guess we humans would think that we humans look strange!"
"That's it!"
Zhao Yu couldn't help but look up at the sky. When thinking about something, it seems to be the habit of most humans to look at a clear cloudless sky. So, do other races have this habit, or what do other races have? He was completely confused about it.
Zhao Yu really couldn't figure out what was the difference between other races and humans, and what was the bond between them? Also, how many races were there in Celos, and what was the relationship between races?
These questions began to hit Zhao Yu one by one, causing him a little headache.
"What's wrong with you, what are you thinking?"
Zha Hongliang's questioning, as always, can make Zhao Yu return to reality from meditation.
"Oh, I didn't think about anything? I just think what the hell is the concept of races, why is there a race in Celos?"
"Who knows! Anyway, there are so many races in Celos. Besides, even if there are different countries between the same race, it seems that all the people in the Sauron Empire are humans. ”
"Ahh
It turned out that he had always ignored a very important issue, the Sauron Empire was also composed of the human race. Before, he instinctively substituted Sauron as a country founded by other races!But after thinking about it, he heard that only humans inhabit and breed in the east of the subancient continent, so it seems that Sauron can only be human.
So, if the Sauron Empire is also a human being, why did it invade the country of Saran, which is also made up of human beings?
This doesn't make sense at all? Zhao Yu thought to himself, touching his chin. After a long time, he told Zha Hongliang what he thought in his heart.
"You can't say that! It's not a race that has to be friendly. In order to plunder resources and territory, the Sauron Empire just likes to invade other countries!
"Isn't it able to invade other races, and does it have borders with us in Saran?"
"Who knows? Maybe the king of Sauron has something wrong with his brain, and he likes to take human countries. Besides, some things can't be said for sure. It's not that all other races are necessarily bad guys, and it can't be said that all people of your own race are all good guys. Zhao Yu, what do you think of it this way! Even our Saran Kingdom itself has heinous bandits! Therefore, because Saran and Sauron are both human countries, they can not be invaded, and this equation is not valid. ”
What Zha Hongliang said made sense, and Zhao Yu nodded.
"But then again, the Saran Kingdom, which is composed of humans, needs the help of the Elia Kingdom composed of elves, and it is the Sauron Kingdom that is also composed of humans that resists......" Zhao Yu felt that his words were a little awkward, but he continued to speak, "It's really ironic to think about it. ”
"Yes, and it is a great irony for me to think that my country needs the help of other countries in order to resist aggression. ”
'That's because our country is weak!' Zhao Yu was about to reply to this sentence, but was stopped by an unusual shout.
"Hey, hey, students. Now it's time for the afternoon trial!"
I saw coach Li Yuan walking out of the building, and he had a triumphant smile, as if he had encountered something good.
Since the coach came and spoke, many of the students who had taken a morning break in the playground also stood up and gathered towards the center.
Zhao Yu glanced at the hour hand on the building, only to realize that the time was almost half past one. This coach still likes to be late!
"Let's go! The coaches are here, so let's go and line up too!" Zha Hongliang said and walked towards the place where his sword was placed. He bent down at the waist, which was as thick as a tree trunk, and picked up his sword.
Zhao Yu replied with an 'oh' and went to pick up his handsome.
Gathering in the center of the playground, the attitudes of all the students were all soft and weak, and Zhao Yu was naturally one of them, thinking that he was going to take this kind of brainless course again.
Sometimes he really thinks that when he comes to the trial ground to try, the lunch break is the most serious thing he can learn. Isn't this the one he learned a lot about Cellos in the discussion with Zha Hongliang just now? On the contrary, in the upcoming trial class, there is a feeling that he can't learn anything.
After lining up the line, Coach Li Yuan said a few meaningless nonsense as usual. The afternoon 'Freedom' session began.
Anyway, no matter when it's time to cut it yourself, wait for a limited chat with other colleges, and when it's your turn to cut it, symbolically go over and cut the dummy a few times. In successive reincarnations, time passes smoothly and quickly like a carriage in a hurry.
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Yu noticed that the sun above his head had a tendency to set. He casually glanced at the clock upstairs and saw that it was indeed past three o'clock in the afternoon.
Alas, class is going to end again. Zhao Yu shook his body and instinctively thought about the scene after the trial. And several of his partners, such as Cha Hongliang and Liang Chaowei, chatted in the crowd about the joys of the moment.
It seems that today will be the same as all the previous scenes, with Coach Li Yuan casually shaking his hand, and then announcing the end of the class. Zhao Yu thought as he rubbed his chin with his index finger.
But who would have thought that not long after, Coach Li Yuan suddenly got up and walked towards the crowd. He had been sitting leisurely in the distance, with his legs crossed, as if he was venting that the course was too boring.
As soon as Coach Li Yuan approached, he clapped his hands competently. Only a few crisp clappings were heard, and a false smile bloomed on his face.
"Alright, alright. Come, come, come. Listen to what the coach says. ”
Everyone looked at him, even a few who were cutting dummies.
"Everyone has worked hard today, seeing everyone working so hard, I think you must have learned a lot about the trial knowledge of swordsmen!" No matter how much disdain the students' eyes showed, Coach Li Yuan still talked endlessly, "Really, the hardships and hard work of the students, I, as a coach, also see it in my eyes, I can understand how much sweat you have paid to pass the trial assessment." ”
Since the instructors are so unashamed to express their arguments, the students are not polite to reply.
"That's also a good coach, you teach well! Every time we are late, let us carry out free classes, even if it is a formal class, we will sit quietly and casually, so as to maximize our self-learning ability. One of the leaders of the class squinted and mocked.
"Oh yes! Oh no, don't boast about your coach like that! I'm actually very thin-skinned, I'm embarrassed. ”
Li Yuan's words made the students cheer one after another.
Zhao Yu also opened his mouth half-open, twitching the corner of his mouth. He sometimes couldn't figure out what this little coach was made of to talk nonsense so disregarding the gaze of others.
"Alright, alright. I'm here now to remind everyone, do you remember tomorrow's outskirts test?"
When Li Yuan said this, Zhao Yu also remembered this matter.
The so-called suburban test is to point out that the trial ground goes outside the town to face the real beast, which can be regarded as a mock test before the trial assessment. Actually, it's not a big deal, because it's just like a free course, but it's just a formality.
"You should remember it!" Coach Li Yuan glanced at his students, but did not stop at one of them for even a second, "Since there is a suburban test tomorrow, I don't want everyone to be too tired today." So be it...... Let everyone go early today, so that you can go back and adjust well for tomorrow's test. ”
After saying that, the smile on Coach Li Yuan's face suddenly disappeared. I saw him shake his hand casually, "Okay, today's trial is over." Then he turned and walked away.
When the students all reacted, it was like a fryer-like discussion.
"What!
"I want to leave early, so I make up some excuse for everyone to rest. ”
"It's really a bad attitude to the extreme. ”
But after all, everyone quickly put away their bags and prepared to leave.
Zhao Yu's current mood is complicated, although he hates the irresponsibility of the coach, but when it comes to leaving school early, he is still a little excited.
Feeling that his shoulder was pushed, Zhao Yu turned his head and saw Zha Hongliang's urging face.
"Hey, what are you thinking? It's rare to be able to put it early, why don't you go quickly?"
Zhao Yu immediately nodded to it and walked towards the place where he had placed his package before.
"It's really explicit that this thing is lazy!"
In the process of walking, Zhao Yu heard the discussion of several students around him.
"Yes, either late or early, sometimes I wonder how such a coach can teach good students. One day, I really want to go to the mayor of the town to complain about him. ”
"Stupid, why are you complaining about him? If this idiot leaves, a stern teacher, will you be able to bear it?"
"Oh, that's right......!
For some reason, Zhao Yu suddenly stopped a few steps. The few students who were talking about the coach were already laughing and walking towards the outside of the trial ground. Looking at their backs, Zhao Yu looked at the clock on the building again.
It's just a quarter past three! Zhao Yu felt a heavy heart. For the early release, he is indeed quite happy. However, he gradually lowered his head.
Is that really good?
"Hey, Zhao Yu. What are you thinking? Why are you still where you are when everyone is gone? Don't tell me you still want to continue the trial!"
Zha Hongliang in the distance was already shouting. Helpless, Zhao Yu had no choice but to walk around.
