Chapter 439: The Birthplace of a New Civilization

The people of this world have long understood the truth of hiding from large mechanical beasts in the wild, and if it is not a last resort, no one will rely on flesh and blood and thunder teeth to fight hard.

After escaping from Thunderfang's territory, Lu Xiao took the opportunity to ask the tavern owner about Thunderfang's question in the next village.

The talkative boss shook his head and smiled: "Thunder Fangs are usually besieged by Oseran mercenaries with heavy weapons, and they will try to ensure that there are not two at the same time, otherwise the entire battlefield will be in chaos and cannot be commanded." ”

This was not the first time Lu Xiao had heard the name of the Oseran clan, he had noticed it when Yongzhen had told about the Calga coup.

The 14th Sun King, Javid, relied on the power of the Oseran mercenaries during the coup d'Γ©tat, and the two siblings, who were the leaders of the mercenaries at the time, are now entrusted with important tasks in Meridian City.

The elder sister Elsa is one of Yavid's new military commanders, and the younger brother Elender has met Lu Xiao before, and as a goodwill ambassador, he first came out as a goodwill ambassador to the heart of all mothers, and two years after the end of the war, he re-established a trade agreement with the Nora tribe.

It is rumored that the relationship between Elsa and the Sun King Yavid is not simple, if it were not for the pressure within the Calga Kingdom, Yavid originally wanted to marry Elsa as the queen.

Yavid's consideration is not difficult to understand.

With the reign of the 13th Sun King, Mad King Geelong, overthrown, the new King Arvid ascended to the throne and worked to repair broken diplomatic relations with the other races.

As the link between the Osselan and the Calgar Kingdom, Elsa's existence is very important, even if her personal combat ability is not considered.

It was precisely because Elsa was reused in the Kingdom of Calgar as a mercenary of O'Cellan that O'Cellan was persuaded by her to temporarily press down on the grudge formed during the great war.

However, people are different, and it is impossible for a country to have only one voice.

There are still some warlords among the Oseran who strongly oppose rapprochement with the Calgar Kingdom, and they advocate continuing the war to completely defeat the Calgar Kingdom, which threatens the security of Oseran.

Elsa's efforts allowed the upper echelons of Osselan to temporarily restrain themselves and suppress the radical main battle faction, and her importance to the kingdom of Yavid and Calga is self-evident.

On the way to Meridian City, Lu Xiao thought thoughtfully, "If I were the ruler of Shadow Calga, I would use this as a breakthrough and do everything possible to disrupt the fragile peace agreement between the Calga Kingdom and Oseran. ”

"Elsa is the bond that keeps the two clans at peace, and if something goes wrong with her, the kingdom of Calga, which is suffering from the enemy, will be in big trouble."

Since the Eclipse Cult and Shadow Karga are destined to stand on opposite sides, it is natural for Lu Xiao to help the Calga Kingdom, which has the same position, and strive to defeat Shadow Karga on the frontal battlefield and force Hades out who is hiding behind the scenes.

After half a month's trek, Lu Xiao crossed the area where Yongzhen had arrived and officially entered the satellite city range of Meridian City.

From here, you can already intuitively see the majestic city built on the top platform of the mountain, Meridian City.

This is the first time Lu Xiao has seen a real city since entering this world.

Several satellite towns guard the Meridian City at the top of the mountain, and in the small villages below, you can see man-made canals that irrigate the farmland.

The inhabitants of the satellite towns are very different from the primitive Nora people in their style of dress, words and deeds.

Civilization, this long-lost concept is recreated in the Kingdom of Calga.

After passing through a suspension bridge connecting the outer city and the city gate, Lu Xiao officially came to the gate of Meridian City.

Dozens of heavily armed guards guarded the city gate, but these guards were meaningless to Lu Xiao, and Lu Xiao swaggered past them when he opened his breath.

The Meridian City was very lively, and the cries of the vendors came and went, and Lu Xiao, who had been quiet in the dawn world for several months, saw this scene and had a long-lost sense of nostalgia.

Ou Lin still hadn't made up his mind whether to cooperate with Lu Xiao, and the contact channel that Lu Xiao left him had not used once.

If he wants to meet the Sun King Yavid, Lu Xiao needs a channel, and Elend, who has been to the Nora Clan's territory to carry out goodwill missions before, is a suitable candidate.

Of course, even if someone introduces him, Lu Xiao also needs a temporary foothold to wait for the Sun King, who is busy with government affairs, to summon him.

Using disguise and illusion to dress himself up like a Calgar, Lu Xiao walked up to a City Watch guard in the Grand Bazaar.

"Hello guard, could you please inform Aloy of the important information he wants to tell him."

The soldier wearing a face-covering helmet glanced at Lu Xiao suspiciously: "Do you know Allend?" ”

"That's right."

Lu Xiao's attitude was too calm and confident, and the guards couldn't tell whether his words were true or false.

Ellend and his sister are both celebrities in front of the Sun King, and it's no joke to offend him.

After thinking about it for a moment, the guard finally agreed to Lu Xiao's request.

"You wait here, I'll go find Arlund."

……

About half an hour later, a strong man with a beard on his face followed the soldier and came to Lu Xiao.

Alende was an anxious person, and before Lu Xiao could say anything, he preemptively asked, "Are you Aloy's friend?" Is she really alive? ”

When the words came to his lips, Lu Xiao could only rearrange his words: "Yes, my wife is acting with Aloy, and they should also come to Meridian City in the near future." ”

Although Alender has a big beard on his face, he still looks very young, in his 20s at most.

"Oh~ what a miracle."

"I was in the village of the Heart of Ten Thousand Mothers when the ambush happened, and I heard that all the people who participated in the trial were dead, but I didn't expect Aloy to escape. ”

"Ahem~ Allend, let's get down to business first."

"Of course, of course."

Arcander had no doubt about him: "What important information do you have to tell me?" About the Nora? ”

"Of course not."

Lu Xiao said solemnly: "It has something to do with your sister Elsa, I received information on the way to Meridian City that someone wants to assassinate her and provoke a dispute between the Calga Kingdom and Osselland. ”

"Hah!"

Ellend waved his hand disdainfully: "I thought you were going to say something, do you think Elsa would not know that she is a thorn in the side of others?" She has always been mindful of her personal security. ”

"Really?"

Lu Xiao tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, "What if I told you that it was your Oseran people who wanted to kill her, and that warlord even secretly made an agreement with Shadow Calga?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What the? ”

Elender's originally casual expression finally became serious: "Who is it?" Which traitor is it? Actually teamed up with the remnants of the Mad King, who inflicted heavy casualties on Oseran in the first place? ”

Lu Xiao spread his hands and said, "I don't know much about your O'Sultan's high-level and political tendencies, I only know his name." ”

"Delva."

Hearing this name, a blue veil immediately appeared on Allund's forehead: "That O son raised it!" I knew it was going to be him! ”
