Chapter 201: A Different Empire
Just as Eric was about to show his strength, the crowd of onlookers increased and stepped forward to stop the fury of the "rangers".
The "rangers" were very talkative when it came to their own people, and they decided to follow the advice of their compatriots and stop bothering Eric.
Before leaving, the "rangers" returned the loot to the merchants, and made several provocative gestures towards Eric.
In this regard, Eric was a little puzzled, why did the "Ranger" provoke him a few times since he had returned the things to the merchants.
"Hehehe, this traveler, you don't have to take them to heart!
The polar ice wolf's actions just now were also beyond their expectations, these people don't know how to express their feelings, they feel a little embarrassed about you, that's why they made that provocative move!"
A Veku man walked up to Eric and said.
As for Eric, he felt very speechless, it was the first time he had seen a provocative gesture to express embarrassment, if everyone was like a "ranger", I am afraid that the mainland would be in constant turmoil.
"I see, I thought they were going to fight me!" Eric said.
"No, your scent has been memorized by the Polar Ice Wolves, and the other 'Rangers' won't trouble you in the future, don't worry!By the way, are you here to do business?" the Veku man asked.
"Thank you so much, my name is Eric and I'm a bard.
If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd still be fighting them!" Eric said to the bold-looking Viku.
"It turned out to be a bard, no wonder it is so powerful, I have met a very powerful bard before, my name is Turgenev, and I am a soldier!" Turgenev was very proud when he spoke of soldiers.
Every Viku in the Wind-Rimping Empire is proud of their soldiers. Fighting the enemy is what these soldiers are most interested in.
In the Wind-Storming Empire, there is no such profession as bandits and thieves, the former cannot survive in the Wind-Storming Empire at all, not to mention the "rangers" in the wild, even the Veku people will go to the robbers for trouble when they are idle and panicked.
However, the bandits in the wild have long been almost wiped out by the "rangers", who believe that these robbers are fighting with them for the right to live, so the results can be imagined.
This is also the reason why there are so many robbers in the Dawn Empire, and the Windy Empire can't get along, so of course they have to run next door.
As for the profession of a thief, the Viku people despise this kind of person from the bottom of their hearts. You can rob, but you can't steal, stealing is a sign of cowardice.
Every Veku has their own pride, that is, the right to live is won by fighting, not by petty theft.
Whenever a thief is discovered, the thief is beaten to death in the street.
Usually thieves come from other countries, and the Viku people are people who will not steal even if they die.
Turgenev was a very bold Viku, and the vast majority of Vikus were like this.
Turgenev kept explaining the customs of the Wind-Blowing Empire to Eric on the road, which made Eric quickly understand the customs of the Wind-Blowing Empire. Know what you can do casually and what you can't even joke about.
For example, you can beat up someone you don't like, but you must not say anything bad about Joseph Gordon, otherwise Lady Luck will not save you.
Joseph Gordon is a hero to all Wiku. It was he who freed everyone from poverty, and it was he who built a powerful empire for everyone.
The earlier Windswept Empire was said to have even had dragons, but Joseph Gordon drove them away, and there was no longer a threat to the Viku people in the land.
"Didn't you say that Emperor Joseph Gordon killed the dragon?" asked Turgenev.
"Kill the dragon? hahaha. I don't know who spread this, but our Emperor Majesty has definitely never killed the dragon, not that His Majesty the Emperor is unwilling to kill. It's that the dragon is too powerful.
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor only dealt a heavy blow to the dragon in the end, and we Viku never exaggerated our achievements, because it was a disgrace, and we never humbled our achievements, because it was a glory.
If anyone doubts us, be prepared to apologize with blood!" said Turgenev with a proud face.
Turgenev borrowed a yak for Eric to ride, and walked side by side with Turgenev on the official road.
This made Eric realize that Turgenev was very unusual, and this Ling Ran's momentum actually brought him a little pressure, not in terms of strength, but in the momentum of that battle.
This is a kind of momentum that is full of pride and self-confidence, as well as no regrets.
Suddenly, Eric has a crush on Turgenevton.
If someone in another place praises their emperor, that person will definitely brag about it again, just like the Dawn Empire, where every day someone is preaching how the emperor slaughters demons and exterminates aliens.
It seems that without the Emperor, the Dawn Empire will cease to exist, and everyone will soon fall into dire straits.
The only people who shrugged off at it were the priests and knights of the Sanctuary of Dawn.
Finally, Eric rode a yak to the Gray and White City, whose walls were hundreds of meters high, and according to Turgenev, the thickness of the walls was also tens of meters.
The gray and white city feels like a fortress, and at the top of the walls are countless huge crossbows.
The crossbow arrows used in the car crossbow are all alchemy crossbow arrows, and if the bone demon dares to appear outside the gray and white city, it will definitely be the end of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.
"What a majestic wall, why did you build it so high, and could there be any enemy that threatens you?" asked Eric.
Eric's words attracted the attention of many Viku, and everyone looked at Eric with disdain.
"Haha, no enemy can threaten us, those who can threaten us have turned us into corpses, and those who can't threaten us have been turned into corpses by us!
This wall was built to protect the old and weak, and in the face of danger, every Viku would take up arms and fight it.
Not only men, but even adult female vikus are formidable warriors!" Turgenev said to Eric.
After listening to Turgenev's words, Eric. I smacked my tongue a little in my heart: "It's rare that the Dawn Empire was able to draw with the Windy Empire at the beginning, it's really not easy!"
Joseph Gordon is a legend, and such a powerful figure can appear in the gladiatorial arena of the Dawn Empire.
So much so that Joseph Gordon jumped directly from the gladiatorial arena to the stands and killed the nobles watching the gladiatorial fight, which was officially considered a strategy by the Dawn Empire.
So Eric seized the opportunity to ask Turgenev about it.
Turgenev laughed out loud when he heard this question: "Hahaha, it seems that the Dawn Empire is really strict, and many people have asked this question."
But you still don't know the answer, and it seems that this answer is taboo on your side.
His Majesty Emperor Joseph Gordon was caught drunk.
His Majesty the Emperor woke up and found that he had become a slave, and he was immediately annoyed, so the audience at that time was tragic.
There were big names in the spectators in the stands back then. It was the legendary Marshal Don Quixote, but this marshal and his guards were all chopped over by Joseph Gordon's sword!"
Turgenev's words made the surrounding Viku people laugh out loud.
"I'll give it a damn thing, no wonder this secret was set as a taboo topic in the first place, and anyone who talked nonsense about the situation at that time would immediately be arrested and imprisoned by the city guards. ”
Eric now understood why the people in the tavern were avoiding Joseph Gordon.
"What a desirable hero, just how powerful is your Imperial Majesty?" Eric, wondering if Joseph Gordon had stepped into the realm of legend.
Turgenev, who had been talking eloquently, choked up when he heard Eric's question, and only replied after a long time: "To tell you the truth." That's what every Viku wants to know!"
Now it was Eric's turn to glare: "No, don't you all know what your Emperor Majesty's strength is?
Turgenev shook his head and said, "No, I only know that His Majesty the Emperor is the most powerful 'Sword Singer' among the Viku people, standing at the very top of all the 'Sword Singers'!"
"Sword Singer". Eric, the word Iric, heard a lot, it was the Viku term for the most powerful warriors, who didn't just play with swords, as the title suggests.
Everyone who has the title of "Sword Singer" has their own way of fighting. But all of them are characters who come and go freely in the midst of thousands of troops.
Of course, the most powerful "sword singers" in history have all used swords, and their combat skills have been inherited from ancient times.
Don't think that there are many "sword singers". All the Viku people only recognize thirteen "Sword Singers", and the others must challenge the current "Sword Singers" if they want to become "Sword Singers".
It is to challenge with life, and since there has been a "sword singer", there has never been a situation where the challenger and the challenged have survived at the same time.
Eric, who felt that he had a very good conversation with Turgenev, couldn't help but invite Turgenev and his friends to drink, and Eric had a cup.
In the end, Eric not only discovers that the Wind-Rimping Empire's drinks are ridiculously expensive, but the Viku people drink even more frighteningly.
When Turgenev and the others were about to leave, Turgenev kept patting Eric on the shoulder and said, "You are the most bold bard I have ever met, and I have made a friend of yours."
I'll introduce you to the most beautiful girl in Viku, Hiccup......"
"Erik, we're running out of money!" Jack said, looking at Eric with a grim expression.
Witt and Nicholas are also poor, and even wizards, if they don't have money, they won't have a good life.
"Don't worry! the little money doesn't go, the big money doesn't come!" Although Eric was dripping blood in his heart, he pretended not to care on his face.
"Jack, who do you see that is? Isn't it Polzag?" Eric suddenly spotted a familiar back in the crowd, and this back belonged to the local tyrant Polzag. (To be continued......)
