After the wedding, Shen Lang was brought into a special house.
This house was probably newly built, as it was somewhat out of place with the atmosphere of the castle. The castle was mainly made of milky white marble, while this house was fiery red.
Not only that, but he could also feel the obvious high temperature when he entered the house.
Bi Jin City was like spring all year round, and the temperature was not low. At night, the temperature outside was about 20 degrees Celsius. However, inside this red house, it was at least 30 degrees Celsius.
Not only that, but there were also countless candles lit inside. It looked very romantic, but it felt a little strange. It was too ritualistic.
There was nothing in this house except a big bed, a super big bed that was three meters by three meters.
The big bed was surrounded by hundreds and thousands of candles.
Looking at this, were they really going to do it in the bridal chamber? Otherwise, there was no need to create such an excessive atmosphere.
Shen Lang lay lazily on the big bed, and his mind once again recalled the bridal chamber a few years ago. To be precise, he was alone in an empty room.
Mulan darling, no matter what happens next, please don't blame me. Please remember this: even if I, your Husband, lose my chastity, the woman I love the most in my heart is still you, and even the only person I love is you.
However, he was still a little nervous. The scene of Duchess Debus abusing Big Lion kept replaying in his mind.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this woman looked so pretty and delicate, she was actually a female tyrannosaurus.
If something really happened, she wouldn't have tortured him half to death, right?
The most important thing was that Master Lang was not very confident in his own abilities. His ability was only to destroy Xiao Bing. If he encountered a female T-Rex like Duchess Debus, he might lose miserably.
However, men had many different abilities, such as being impenetrable …
… …
Just a quarter of an hour later.
Archduchess Debus walked in leisurely and went straight to the big bed through the countless candles.
In the light of the fire, she looked especially gorgeous. Especially that head of red hair, it was simply captivating.
She walked in front of Shen Lang and tore off her long dress, revealing her graceful snow-white body.
She sat directly on Shen Lang's waist and chanted a special note.
What did you say?
Shen Lang couldn't understand these words at all.
Then, Debus untied Shen Lang's robe and drew mysterious runes on his chest.
Pain, pain, pain …
Because she had really scratched him with her nails. Shen Lang's skin was so soft and tender, so red marks were quickly left on his skin.
What the hell was this writing? It filled Shen Lang's entire chest.
Then, she slept with Shen Lang.
F * ck! He was being serious.
… …
An hour later, everything was over!
Duchess Debus immediately left, leaving Shen Lang to lie here alone and reminisce.
This world was simply too bizarre.
He had thought that she was a widow who could marry anyone, but he didn't expect her to be a chaste woman.
Initially, he thought that it was a handsome man, but he didn't expect it to be a formal marriage.
At first, he thought that it was a fake marriage, but he didn't expect that they would really consummate their marriage.
Shen Lang had to admit that the taste of this Duchess was very good. The key was that he didn't have to be involved.
But all of this seemed extremely baffling. Isn't that right?
… …
In the following period of time, Shen Lang became the Duchess' husband.
He regained his freedom in the castle, and even in the entire city. He could go anywhere.
So did he become the lord of this city?
No!
Almost everyone kept a respectful distance from him.
The maids in the castle still didn't dare to speak to him, including the middle-aged eunuch Talon. Every time he saw him, even if he was a few meters away, he would immediately stop in his tracks and bow to Shen Lang respectfully. Then, he would step aside and lower his head. He wouldn't look at him, and he would even hold his breath.
The Russo Family's warriors were even more indifferent towards him. No matter what they were doing, laughing loudly, or whispering, as soon as Shen Lang walked past, they would immediately return to their stone-like expressions and stare straight ahead.
And those few priests seemed to have disappeared once again.
Duchess Debus seemed to be very busy. Ever since the consummation, Shen Lang hadn't seen her for a few days.
He still enjoyed a life comparable to that of a noble every day.
One day, he tried to leave the castle. In the end, no one stopped him.
So, Shen Lang left the castle and entered Jade Gold City. Wearing a luxurious embroidered robe, he walked on the streets. All the nobles in the city kept a respectful distance from him. But the rich merchants and commoners all treated him with respect. As for the slaves, when they saw the pattern on his robe, they all knelt on the ground in an orderly manner.
Shen Lang was curious as to why the Russo Family didn't send warriors to protect him. In the end, he found that it was completely unnecessary.
This was because the family crest on his robe was the best protection. The Russo Family had ruled this city for hundreds of years. The loyalty of the people here to the Russo Family was engraved into their bones.
However, whenever Shen Lang wanted to converse with others, he would fail.
This city had an absolute language chain. The upper class spoke Silen (also known as Latin), while the middle and lower class spoke Vida.
What was Vida?
Most of the people in this area were brown people. They were collectively known as the Vida race, so their language was also known as Vida. The Vida race were the natives of this land. The white people were just conquerors.
Back then, the Xilun Dynasty swept through the entire western world. At its peak, its territory exceeded ten million square kilometers.
And this Jadewave Province was once conquered by the Xilun Dynasty. When the first Xilun Empire declined, the Russo Family was the governor of Jadewave Province. The other provinces all became independent countries. The Russo Family was no exception. They officially established the Russo Principality.
Later, when the second Xilun Empire rose, the Russo Family once again pledged their loyalty to the Xilun Empire and became a province of the empire. But in less than a hundred years, the second Xilun Empire was destroyed again.
Jadewave Province once again became the Jadewave Principality.
Now that a few hundred years had passed, the natives of the Vida race had forgotten that they were the masters.
The Vida language also became a lower class language. The white people in this city definitely didn't know how to speak it. Of course, there was an even lower class language. That was the language spoken by the slaves. It was called Dog Language.
This Dog Language wasn't a real language. It was a language invented by the slave owners to better control the slaves.
Almost every word, every word, was filled with lowliness. Also, the sentences in Dog Language were very short. There were almost no sentences that were more than ten words.
This was because the slave owners felt that if the sentences were too long, the slaves would learn to be smart. The instructions to the animals were all very short, so the slave language was the same.
Now, the problem Shen Lang faced was that he didn't know how to speak the Vida language of the natives, nor the Dog Language of the slaves. He could speak Latin according to the instructions of the AI.
But those who could speak Xilun knew Shen Lang's identity. It was as if they were forbidden to speak. They wouldn't say a word to Shen Lang. Even if Shen Lang came near, they would quickly avoid him.
So even though he married Duchess Debus, Shen Lang was still completely isolated by Jade Gold City.
So, Shen Lang went to the library to search for all kinds of information, especially information about the Witch Empire.
In the end, he found nothing.
Bi Jin City has a very large library with tens of thousands of books. However, all of the books regarding the Witch Empire have been destroyed. Even if there were normal books that had information about the Witch Empire, they had all been cut out.
Shen Lang felt more and more that this Duchess Debus was hostile to the Witch Empire.
… …
But one day, Shen Lang finally found out about the attitude of the people in this city, especially the warriors of the Russo Family, towards the Easterners.
That day, they didn't notice Shen Lang's arrival and were whispering to each other.
"All Easterners are hypocritical and evil. They should all go to hell. I heard that most Easterners are prostitutes, and all men like to sell their butts!"
When a warrior said this, many people agreed with him. From this sentence, it could be seen that it was full of malice.
But the moment Shen Lang appeared, they immediately shut their mouths and looked straight ahead.
What a bunch of hypocrites!
Once again, Shen Lang discovered that the upper class in Jade Gold City were all white people, and the middle and lower classes were all Quidas. Half of the slaves were black people, and the other half were natives captured from everywhere. They were actually brown people of the Quidas race, but they lived in more remote places.
And this group of white people didn't look down on the Easterners, but they were hostile, absolutely hostile.
This made Shen Lang even more convinced that the Witch Empire was related to Qiu Yao 'er.
After returning to the castle, Shen Lang thought that he would never see Duchess Debus again.
However, seven days after the wedding, she suddenly appeared in Shen Lang's room and slept with Shen Lang again.
Before sleeping, she still muttered strange words and used her fingernails to write strange words on Shen Lang's body.
An hour later, she disappeared again.
… …
Another five days passed!
Duchess Debus appeared again and slept with Shen Lang.
After sleeping, she originally wanted to leave, but in the end, she was held down by Shen Lang. Shen Lang slept with her and even displayed eighteen types of martial arts.
Halfway through, Shen Lang wanted to kiss her, but she pushed him away.
Whether it was in this world or on Earth, there was a group of very strange women.
They could be slept with, but they couldn't be kissed. It was as if they could still maintain their last nobility.
… …
Following that, Shen Lang gradually learned that this Duchess Debus was an absolutely outstanding noble.
Not only was she skilled in martial arts, but she was also proficient in the art of war, literature, medicine, and poetry.
In short, she did whatever an outstanding noble woman should do. Of course, Shen Lang didn't really like this kind of woman. They were so outstanding that they didn't seem real.
Moreover, their artistic talent seemed to be to cultivate their own character, and definitely not to please others, nor to gain others' appreciation.
Once, Shen Lang accidentally barged in and found Duchess Debus playing the piano.
At this time, the piano of the Western world didn't appear, nor did the harpsichord. There was only the organ, and it was very large.
Although the timbre couldn't compare to the piano, it was already very good.
Duchess Debus's attainments in the organ were very high, and she could even be called an excellent artist.
But as soon as Shen Lang entered, she stopped playing, smiled at him, and got up to leave.
This was a kind of alienation, full of aristocratic etiquette.
Why is it that the Duchess of Debus never plays when there are bystanders?
Because she felt that playing music was to please others, but in the whole of Bi Jin City, she had the noblest status, so she couldn't please anyone.
In other words, no one was worthy of listening to her play, including, of course, Shen Lang.
Of course, if other dukes came, or other princes of the Xilun Dynasty, then he believed that Duchess Debus would be very happy to play.
Once again, Shen Lang felt the arrogance in the bones of the Western nobles, the contempt for others, the hypocritical and polite contempt.
Shen Lang didn't care. He sat in front of the organ and played with the help of the AI.
It was still his favorite "Exodus." This song didn't have a long history, and it was only the soundtrack of a movie. Although it had been changed by Wojciech Kirar, and Maxim's performance couldn't be considered a masterpiece, it was still a classic that was appreciated by both refined and common people.
It was filled with a magnificent, tragic, epic feeling, and it was really shocking. Even if Shen Lang didn't like Israel, he still liked this song.
Hearing Shen Lang's performance, Duchess Debus stopped and listened carefully.
At this time, she showed the moral character of an excellent aristocrat, willing to appreciate, and had an extremely high level of appreciation.
Her beautiful eyes showed an expression of amazement. She didn't expect an Eastern man like Shen Lang to be able to play such Western music.
Although the Eastern and Western worlds were almost in a state of isolation, the civilizations of both sides still had a little bit of mutual penetration.
As an ancient aristocrat of the Xilun Dynasty, the Russo family also had some understanding of the Eastern world.
In Duchess Debus' opinion, the music of the Eastern world wasn't like this. Their music pursued artistic conception and vividness, unlike Western music that was full of aggression and impact.
Of course, she admitted that the music of the Eastern world was also very good. But as a member of the Xilun Dynasty, she had to maintain the superiority of her own civilization no matter what.
After Shen Lang's performance ended, Duchess Debus left.
… …
That night, Duchess Debus appeared in Shen Lang's room again.
Once again, she ritually slept with him.
Then, when she was about to leave, she was held down by Shen Lang again, and Shen Lang slept with her in his way.
But when Shen Lang was about to kiss her, she pushed him away again.
The two of them entered a very strange state.
They were husband and wife, but they were even more like strangers.
Especially when Shen Lang showed some talent, Duchess Debus showed an even colder attitude.
The entire Bi Jin City continued to isolate him, and it had even spread from the white people to the brown people.
Although Shen Lang could speak, and had even learned the Weida language through the AI, he was still like a mute. Because no one spoke to him, he never had the chance to speak.
The other two handsome men from the Eastern world, Kun Yan and Qin Gu, had completely become the new eunuchs of this castle.
These two also kept a respectful distance from Shen Lang. Although they were of the same race, they never spoke. In order to bid farewell to their identity as Easterners, they even cut their long hair and painted their eyeshadow, trying their best to look like Westerners.
… …
Did Shen Lang feel lonely?
A little!
When he was on the isolated island, he was alone for a few months. Of course, he was lonely.
At that time, he wanted to quickly enter a city, any city, as long as there were people.
He even made a grand aspiration to stand out in three months, and control the city within a year.
Now he knew that he had thought too much.
In just a few days, he became the husband of the owner of this city. It seemed like he was above everyone else and only below one person.
However, he knew that he would never become the owner of this city by relying on schemes and brains.
This was because he was an Easterner. He was an Asian.
No matter how smart or outstanding he was, it was useless.
The longer he stayed in this city, the more Shen Lang felt isolated and ostracized by everyone in this city.
As time passed, this isolation and ostracization turned into a form of hostility.
For a few months, no one spoke to him.
Even though he was surrounded by people, he could not receive any news. This was because once he approached, everyone's conversation would stop.
However, Shen Lang did not feel any pain. After all, he was a wise man.
When faced with such a situation, he could only say in his heart, "Idiot."
However, he also deeply knew that as an Easterner, it was impossible for him to establish a foothold in this city, let alone hold power.
What if one race wanted to assimilate into another race?
Or should he be willing to be a vassal? Let the leading clan feel that he was not a threat.
However, there was no assimilation between two powerful races. There was only conquest.
… …
That night!
Duchess Debus once again slept with Shen Lang ritually.
"You've been asking about the Witch Empire?" she asked.
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes."
Debus said, "Why did the Easterners come to the Western world? Why did they come to break the balance here?"
Shen Lang thought for a moment and shrugged his shoulders.
He could not answer this question. Could he ask sixteenth-century Spain, seventeenth-century Holland, and eighteenth-century British Empire why they did not stay in their Western world? Why did they come to the Eastern world?
Debus said, "Have you forgotten about the Witch Empire? It can't be your motherland in the Western world! "
Shen Lang heard what she did not finish. The Witch Empire would definitely perish.
Shen Lang suddenly said, "The Russo family was once the royal family of the Xilun Dynasty?"
Debus said, "Our family has never deliberately raised our historical status. We are different from the families of the Eastern world."
She said it as if the families of the Eastern world especially liked to get close to their faces, desperately trying to climb up to the royal ancestors.
Uh!
Well, there were indeed some people like that.
For example, the Xue family always wanted to become the Ren family.
But Shen Lang was not like that. The noblest surnames in the entire Eastern world were Ji and Jiang. Originally, the surname Ji was higher than the surname Jiang.
But because of His Majesty Jiang Li, the surname Jiang and the surname Ji were on the same level in the hearts of the billions of people in the Eastern world.
Even after Ying Guang stole the throne of the New Qian Kingdom, he did not dare to use the surname Jiang and changed it to the surname Ying.
Shen Lang, who lived in the Western world, had the noblest surname in the Eastern world, but he did not change his name to Jiang Lang.
"The Ji family belongs to the Ji family, and the Xilun family belongs to the Xilun Dynasty." Duchess Debus said, "The Witch Empire supported the fragmentation of the Xilun Dynasty and roped in countless slaves and untouchables in an attempt to establish a foreign regime in the Western world. This is destined to be unsuccessful. The Witch Empire is like a castle built on the beach. Any wave can destroy it. "
Shen Lang said, "If I remember correctly, Bijin City and even the entire Jadewave Province once claimed to be loyal to the Witch Empire."
Duchess Debus said, "That was my elder brother's doing, so I hanged him."
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes. He was not in the mood to find out the truth behind this.
"On the contrary, because of the Witch Empire's appearance, the third empire of Xilun was established." Duchess Debus said, "So forget about your Witch Empire. It cannot become your motherland in the Western world. Xilun to Xilun."
Hehe! Hehe!
God to God? Caesar to Caesar?
No, this sentence was not suitable here because both of them belonged to the Western world.
Duchess Debus was about to stand up and leave again. Shen Lang hooked his arm around her neck and kissed her red lips.
But he was blocked by her hand again.
"Xilun to Xilun, Great Yan to Great Yan."
Shen Lang sneered in his heart. You've slept with her several times, and you're still talking to me like this?
But now it could be seen that although Duchess Debus had slept with him many times, she had never intended to get close to him.
It was still absolute isolation!
That was right. The mouth was for eating and talking, so kissing was considered a higher level of communication.
And the bottom was for shitting and peeing, so it was considered a lower level of communication?
But did humans prefer lower level communication or higher level communication?
… …
Shen Lang already knew Duchess Debus's attitude.
In the following days, the two would still have the most intimate relationship.
But their relationship became more distant.
Every time, Duchess Debus would read a special language and draw special words on Shen Lang's body.
It was a ritualistic pleasure.
Not to mention kissing, they didn't even have half a conversation.
She came to be intimate with Shen Lang as if she was carrying out some kind of ceremony.
The whole city's encouragement and isolation of Shen Lang became more serious, and the hostility was also more serious.
Of course, no one pointed their middle finger at Shen Lang, and no one spat at him.
But the path he had walked would not be taken by others for a long time.
Wherever he went, everyone would immediately avoid him.
Everyone could see that Shen Lang was exquisite and noble, but this was a disgusting attitude that raised the hypocrisy of this race to the extreme.
Shen Lang could only see everything with his eyes.
Duchess Debus continued to buy slaves and train them into an army.
The army under her command had reached a very shocking number.
Although Shen Lang couldn't see any information or hear any conversation, he could feel it.
Because of the appearance of the Witch Empire, the Third Empire of Xilun was rapidly forming.
And Duchess Debus was one of the members of the Third Empire of Xilun.
She recruited troops to attack the Witch Empire.
Their goal was very simple, to completely exterminate the Witch Empire, and even kill all the Easterners.
Shen Lang knew that the Xilun Empire was actually still very strong. The reason why the Second Empire collapsed was because it had no leader.
The various kingdoms and duchies were very strong, but they couldn't find a trustworthy person to ascend to the throne, so they fell apart.
This was somewhat like the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period of ancient times. The Zhou Emperor was declining, and the feudal lords rose, so they fell apart.
… …
A few days ago, someone came to visit Shen Lang. This was the first time in a few months that someone came to see him.
It was the pirate leader. He sent a package to Shen Lang. There was nothing in it, just the broken balloon cloth that Shen Lang had asked him to scoop up.
In the following period of time, Shen Lang once again became a canary.
Not only did he not leave the castle, he didn't even leave his room.
Just like the priests of the Fire God, the last time they appeared was for Shen Lang's wedding, and since then, they completely disappeared.
At this time, Shen Lang no longer planned to develop anything in this city.
His only goal was to leave Bi Jin City and head to the Witch Empire.
Even though he couldn't be completely sure that the Witch Empire was founded by Chou Yao 'er, he was sure that its ruler was an Easterner. Only there would Shen Lang be able to display his talents and obtain great power.
Moreover, this Witch Empire was most likely Chou Yao 'er's.
If it really was her, Shen Lang was completely amazed. Had Chou Yao 'er become so strong after not seeing her for a few years?
One could tell the depth of autumn by looking at a leaf, and one could see the whole leopard by looking at a spot.
This Duchess Debus was extremely strong, be it in terms of individual strength or ability.
At this time, the army under her command had already exceeded hundreds of thousands.
She was only one of the members of the Xilun Empire's Third Empire.
However, this Witch Empire had fought its way from the East, conquered countless cities and provinces, and established a huge empire.
This Bi Jin City had once been under the feet of the Witch Empire.
This kind of prestige was really like Emperor Jiang Li's style back then.
However, even if Shen Lang wanted to go to the Witch Empire, he couldn't. In fact, he couldn't even confirm where the Witch Empire was.
Previously, he could still wait for a ship to arrive at that isolated saltpeter island.
Now, in this Bi Jin City, although it was filled with people, it was even more lonely than an isolated island.
Moreover, he couldn't wait for any more ships to arrive. He couldn't leave Bi Jin City at all. No matter how much money he offered, no ship was willing to take him away.
It didn't matter if he was in disguise or hiding his tracks, it was useless, because he was the only other person in the entire city.
A white swan couldn't hide among a flock of black swans. Even if he wanted to paint himself black, it was impossible.
However, Shen Lang knew that the time for him to leave Bi Jin City and head to the Witch Empire was coming soon.
… …
Starting from a certain day!
Shen Lang didn't like to wear silk anymore. Instead, he liked to wear other types of clothes.
Especially cotton and sackcloth, which were more breathable.
However, in this castle, no one would prepare the clothes he wanted.
Therefore, Shen Lang went to the city to buy his own cotton and sackcloth and sew his own clothes.
He didn't like wearing Western-style clothes anymore. Therefore, he put on an Eastern-style robe once again.
…
At night!
Duchess Debosch came to Shen Lang's room once again and slept with him in a ritualistic manner.
Finally, she let out a long sigh.
It was as if the entire holy ceremony had ended?
Then, she looked at Shen Lang with a complicated gaze.
"Good night, man from the Eastern world."
Then, she left directly.
At this point, she and Shen Lang had been married for more than 99 days. The two of them had been intimate for more than 19 times.
…
One day!
It was probably a very important festival in the Western world. It seemed to be the birthday of the first emperor of the Xilun Empire.
The entire Bi Jin City didn't carry out any extravagant celebrations. Instead, a solemn bell rang.
Perhaps Shen Lang had guessed wrongly. This wasn't the birthday of the first emperor of the Xilun Empire, but the anniversary of his death.
A few maids rushed in and helped Shen Lang to thoroughly bathe and change his clothes.
This time, it was even more luxurious and holy. He bathed a total of nine times.
Then, he put on nine layers of clothes.
From the first to the fifth layer, they were all Shen Lang's own clothes. From the sixth to the ninth layer, they were all clothes prepared for him by the Russo Family.
Furthermore, they were all Eastern-style robes, silk brocade, and extremely gorgeous.
The middle-aged eunuch walked in and bowed. "Your Excellency, the holy ceremony is about to begin. Please come out!"
Was the so-called holy ceremony finally about to begin?
He had waited for a total of 100 days.
There was a gorgeous carriage crown outside. It was also Eastern-style.
Shen Lang sat on the carriage crown. Nineteen people carried him out of the castle and towards the pier.
… …
At this moment, the square outside the gates of Bi Jin City was densely packed with troops.
They covered the sky and the sun. Countless of them. They were fully armed and valiant.
On the entire sea, there wasn't a single merchant ship or pirate ship. They were all warships. There were more than a few hundred warships.
On every warship, the flag of the Russo Family was hung. Even higher up, the flag of the Third Empire of Xilun was hung.
Duchess Debus was dressed in military attire.
At this moment, the Fire God's High Priest, who had been hiding, appeared again.
He stood on the pier, full of mystery.
Archduchess Debus stood high up and said hoarsely, "Great Yan to Great Yan, Xilun to Xilun. East to East, West to West. Easterners shouldn't appear in the western world. The Witch Empire is the common enemy of the western world! "
"The Russo Family has been loyal to the Xilun Dynasty for generations. It's no exception now!"
"This time, I'll lead the army to the Witch Empire and rebuild the Third Empire of Xilun!"
"We'll completely destroy the easterners and bury the Witch Empire!"
"Great Yan to Great Yan, Xilun to Xilun."
"Great God of Fire, I officially offer you my husband, the man from the eastern world!"
A moment later!
Shen Lang was carried to a special stake.
"Burn him! Burn him!"
Countless people shouted at Shen Lang.
Now, the truth was revealed.
Duchess Debus had married Shen Lang, an unfamiliar man from the eastern world. Moreover, they had been married for a hundred days and had made out more than 19 times.
Everything was for the sake of the sacrifice!
It was to burn Shen Lang alive when they set off for the Witch Empire!
Those who are not of the same race must have different intentions!
