"Your master, an ape?" After hearing the words of the young man named Li Ke in front of him, Ge Ye's eyes immediately showed an expression of disbelief, and after he opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time, he said, "Ape man...... Also highly intelligent creatures? ”

Li Ke chuckled lightly and said: "I don't like your expression very much, we humans have always thought that we are the most intelligent creatures, but in fact we are very wrong, the wisdom of apes is far beyond us, otherwise how could I be willing to bow down?" ”

The look of surprise became more and more evident in Ge Ye's eyes, and after a long pause, he looked up and said to Li Ke, "Can you take me to meet your master, Nornos?" ”

"Yes!" Li Ke smiled slightly, bowed half-way, and motioned for Ge Ye to walk in front of him. "Your situation has been explained to me by the servant you sent, and we will definitely help you repay a hundred times the forces that besiege you. I've already arranged your men, now I'll take you to meet my master first, this way!" ”

After following Li Ke for a distance, Ge Ye came to Chang'an City, the main city of the former Tang Kingdom. At this time, many buildings in Chang'an City were destroyed, and most of the people in Chang'an City hid at home or tried to escape from the city because of the fear of apes and rat people.

The burning, killing and looting that Ge Ye imagined did not happen, although the nezumi army of Nornos was also searching around the city, but they did not pounce on the humans as soon as they saw them and bite them to death, and after capturing the remnants of the army, they only restrained them.

The deeper he went into Chang'an City, the more surprised Ge Ye became, because not only did he see that those rat men and human armies were well-trained, but even those strange apes gave him the feeling of an iron-blooded soldier.

When Kudzu Ye first saw the ape-man, he was very surprised. Because the height of these apes is more than two meters or even three meters, which is twice as much as Ge Ye, a small man of one meter and four meters, in front of them, Ge Ye is like a child.

Of course, Ge Ye himself is not very strong, and he has already endured his height, so this is not the main reason for his surprise, the real reason is the wisdom in the eyes of these apes. This point Lin Yue

The ape-man's facial features are very similar to those orangutans on the earth, but their lumbar spine is obviously able to stand straighter, but the ape-man walking style is also very peculiar, although it is also the same as humans to walk and run on both feet, but there may be some differences in bone structure, so they will make Kuzuha feel very awkward as a human when walking. Of course, the same is true for the nezumi, but Ge Ye has long been used to it.

The third thing that surprised Ge Ye was their costumes. Since the hair on apes has not faded like humans, they do not need to wear clothes to keep warm. However, there are still some clothes on them, which are mostly used to decorate or distinguish. For example, different ape-man army soldiers will have a strip of cloth of different colors tied to their bodies, which is equivalent to the military uniform of the human army.

After crossing the streets of Chang'an City, Ge Ye followed Li Ke to the Tang Palace in the center of Chang'an City, which was once the residence of the president of the Tang Kingdom, but now it has become the bag of the ape-man nobleman Nornos.

The construction of the Tang Palace is modeled after the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty in China, which is not as extravagant and gorgeous as the Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace, but has the style and charm of traditional Chinese architecture.

"Go in, Lord Nornos is waiting for you." After walking to the door of the main hall of the Tang Palace, Li Ke stretched out his hand to signal Ge Ye to enter, Ge Ye nodded at him and walked into the main hall.

There is a large round table in the main hall, and there are more than a dozen apes sitting around the round table, led by a black-faced ape with slightly blond hair, and it is impossible to tell what age it is from the face, and Ge Ye actually has no way to tell the age of each ape. This should be the so-called second-level nobleman of the Mulipis Empire of the ape clan, Nornos.

After Ge Ye walked into the main hall, all the apes in the hall immediately turned their heads to look at Ge Ye, and then talked in a low and hoarse voice. The apes have their own language, and Kudzu Ye can't understand what they're saying at all.

"You're the 'god' of those rat people, Kuzuha, right?" Nornos, who was sitting at the head of the round table, looked at Ge Ye and said in a low and hoarse voice: "I already know your situation, now are you interested in joining us and conquering this continent with us?" ”

Kudzu Ye was surprised that Nornos was able to speak human language. Nornos looked at Ge Ye's expression, showed a unique smile of the ape-man, and said, "Don't be surprised, your human language seems nothing to us, it's just that your throat is more uncomfortable when you speak." ”

Ge Ye's surprised expression only lasted for a few seconds, and then he also showed a unique human smile and said, "I am indeed a little surprised, I didn't expect that there are still creatures with the same intelligence as us humans in this world!" ”

"Wrong!" Another ape-man with slightly red hair at the round table spoke, "It's a creature with higher intelligence than you!" ”

"Don't take it seriously!" Nornos waved his hand to stop the red-haired ape-man from continuing, he looked at Ge Ye and continued: "The young man is not sensible, please forgive me. After saying that, Nornos motioned to Rick, who was standing in the doorway, to ask him to move a chair for Ge Ye to sit down.

After Ge Ye sat down opposite Nornos, he continued: "You haven't answered my question yet, would you like to join our Muripis Empire, become one of us, and then conquer this new continent together?" ”

Ge Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm here for this purpose, and I have no choice. But I thought it was an army led by humans......"

"You didn't expect it to be our great ape, did you?" The red-haired ape-man looked at Kuzuha with a strange expression. Ge Ye guessed that this should be a sign of ape-man pride.

"So, dear friend, have you agreed to join us?" Nornos said.

Ge Ye paused for a moment and said: "Cooperation will definitely cooperate with you, but if you join, I have to think about it, after all, this matter involves too much, at least let me fully understand you." ”

"Yes!" "I can understand your caution, and we will gladly tell you everything about us, but there is so much to tell, and my voice may not be able to tell you so much, so please allow my servant to tell you, may?" ”

"Absolutely!"

The meeting and conversation between Ge Ye and Nornos lasted less than half an hour, and Ge Ye learned more about the ape-man from Li Ke's mouth.

After talking to Li Ke for a few hours, Ge Ye fully understood where the ape-man came from.

The size of the new world is not only Ling Yingzhou, a long distance to the east across the ocean, there is another continent, this continent is ruled by apemen, they call this continent Estan Continent. The area of the Estan continent is twice the size of Ling Yingzhou, and there are a lot of apes living on the continent, and they have established many Dorcas on the Estan continent, and Mulipis is only a country off the southeast coast of the continent.

In addition to ape-men, there are also rat people on the continent of Estan. It's just that the intelligence and body of the nezumi are indeed too inferior to the ape-men, so on the continent of Estan, they have always been treated as pets or servants by the ape-men. At the same time, the rat people have been used by apes for military armament because of their strong reproductive ability and fierce combat and lack of fear of death. The Muripis Empire alone has nearly two million rat men.

Before the Great Crossing took place, the ape-men had very limited knowledge, and they did not know that the world was a planet and that the land was spherical. They thought that the world was only as big as the continent of Estan, and the rest was just an endless ocean. At that time, the level of civilization in the Estan continent was only equivalent to the feudal era.

After the Great Crossing occurred, hundreds of millions of humans appeared on the continent of Estan out of thin air, which shocked the apes of the entire continent of Estan, and they once fell into a panic and slaughtered humans frantically. And the humans who have just crossed over have no weapons in their hands, and they are no opponents at all in the face of this tall ape-man with cold weapons, so in the first year of the great crossing, the rivers on the continent of Estan were stained red with human blood.

After that, the ape-man began to understand humans, stopped the slaughter, and wanted to study humans instead. So all the human beings who obeyed the apes survived, and those who did not obey were also killed.

Hundreds of millions of humans, until the second year of the Great Journey, the humans on the continent of Estan could not even reach 10 million, and these people are all people who choose to obey the ape-man.

For the obedient humans, the apes did not treat them cruelly, but sincerely understood the humans, although the obedient humans hated the rat people very much, but they did not dare to confront the rat people head-on, so they could only obey all the time.

Then the ape-man excavated the knowledge of human beings little by little, and there was no shortage of humans among the obedient people who truly served the ape-man. From these human heads, the apes gradually learned new knowledge and began to change their previous perceptions.

And the intelligence of apes is indeed higher than that of humans, and after absorbing human knowledge, they quickly have their own understanding and innovation. In the fourth year of the Great Journey, the various ape empires on the continent of Estan began their industrialization, and although their political status was still of the feudal type, their technology reached a new level.

Finally, in the 11th year of the new calendar, the Mulipis Empire built a ship that could cross the ocean, and then they explored eastward, and in February of the 11th year of the new calendar, they discovered Ling Yingzhou, and after more than a year, the expeditionary fleet reached this continent.
