Lu Zhiyu stood in front of a desolate ruin. There were scattered stones, collapsed walls, and standing pillars everywhere. Wind and sand swept across the land, erasing the original glory and glory. All that was left was a pile of broken walls and ruins.
A thousand years ago, this used to be the capital of the orcs, Saga City. It was the most prosperous area in the entire orc kingdom and the center of culture. The bronze civilization was born here, and the iron age sprouted here. It was the center of trade, and the ancestors of the orcs had all left their marks here. They had led the orcs out of the barbaric era, leaving behind everlasting legends and becoming heroes in myths and epics.
But now, the Beast Kings of the past were long dead. Even the city and its glory that they had created had vanished into thin air. The majestic city that had been built for two hundred years had collapsed into a field of rubble. The only things that remained were the books and the orcs' words of mouth. A thousand years was a long journey with no end in sight to an ordinary being.
Lu Zhiyu crossed the ruins of Saga City. It was now deep winter, and the weather in the north was even colder. Even the air that he breathed frosted his clothes.
This place was now within the borders of the Kingdom of Menkaure. The Kingdom of Menkaure was a branch of the original Seville Empire. It had been established by Duke Menkaure of the original Seville Empire. It was the territory of the leopard people, but there were also many races that were loyal to the leopard people. This area was now an area where both the cat-people and the dog-people lived together. There were also many small cat and dog-people tribes nearby.
This place wasn't far from the Ayers Mountain Range. At the foot of the Ayers Mountain Range was the largest city in the area, Ayer City. This city was under the direct jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Menkaure's royal family. The Kingdom of Menkaure sent an Archon to manage the city. Compared to other places in the Orc Kingdom, Ayer City was much more peaceful and peaceful.
Lu Zhiyu's body was hidden in a black cloak. He carried a large suitcase and followed a caravan as they slowly approached Ayer City. On the main road near Ayer City, at a T-junction, Lu Zhiyu got off the carriage and bid farewell to the owner of the caravan.
The caravan had set off from the human kingdom of Crete, crossed the Red River Plains, and passed through the grand canyon of the Ayers Mountains to the center of the Kingdom of Menkaure to trade. They had a pass from the royal family of the Kingdom of Menkaure, which meant that they belonged to the nobles of the Crete Empire.
At the same time, they brought a lot of revenue and goods to the royal family of Menkaure every year. All kinds of goods transported from the human kingdoms were very popular in the orc kingdom, such as pottery, paper, herbs, tea, sugar, and all kinds of art from the Crete Empire, which were popular in the orc kingdom.
The orc kingdom was rich in gems, jewelry, gold, and all kinds of spices. These were also the hard currencies of the human kingdoms. The caravans could make a fortune with just one trip. These caravans not only engaged in normal trade, but also privately sold goods that were strictly prohibited by the Crete Empire.
For example, military equipment, armor, weapons, crossbows, and so on, as well as various human kings' books and horses and camel beasts, were all privately sold. As long as there was profit, there was nothing that the nobles and merchants wouldn't dare to do.
Lu Zhiyu joined the caravan as a doctor and hitchhiked to Ayer City. Although Lu Zhiyu often paid attention to the development of the human world and the orc kingdom, observing the situation from the outside was very different from understanding it from the inside.
Moreover, Lu Zhiyu felt a little bored, so he decided to take a walk and find a place to stop. He would stay in the city for a while, since he could do his experiments anywhere. At the same time, he could also learn about the situation in the orc kingdom.
The weather was cold, and the soldiers stationed in Ayer City were huddled up in the doorway. The howling cold wind and snow hit their faces. Everyone was shivering and stamping their feet. Not many people came in and out of the city, but there were still a few. Under the impatient questioning of the soldiers, they went in and out of the city.
Lu Zhiyu, who was wearing a black cloak and carrying a box, followed behind the group. Most of the people in the crowd were werecats and dogs, and each of them had the iconic characteristics of their race. Some of them had thin fur on their faces, and even their noses were different from those of humans.
The orcs' clothing was different from that of the human kingdoms. Most of their clothing was connected from top to bottom. Even the men wore skirt-like clothing, which made it easier for them to move their tails.
"Hey, why did you take off your hood? Why are you hiding inside?"
The soldiers guarding the city gate had their hands curled up together. The swords hanging from their waists were rusty, as if they hadn't been maintained or used for a long time. It was obvious that this was a peaceful city.
Lu Zhiyu took off his hood, and the people around him immediately exclaimed, "It's humans! Are there more humans coming?"
"Is it a merchant? Troops and merchants usually come with caravans. He's alone, and he's carrying a box. "
"Oh, he's really good-looking."
Many of the people present had only heard of humans, but they had never seen what a human looked like. Many children were secretly peeking at Lu Zhiyu from their parents' arms. The soldiers guarding the city gate were suddenly alarmed, and the two soldiers who had been hiding beside the stove walked over.
"What are you doing here? What are you doing in Ayer? "
Lu Zhiyu put down the box and said in fluent Sofawk, "Hello, I'm a doctor. I want to come here to spread my medical skills. I want to bring them from the human kingdoms to the orc kingdoms, so that all the people who are suffering from diseases and pain can receive true treatment."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Ever since Bohr Kelermo had compiled and published the Kelermo Medical Book, the profession of doctors had quickly spread throughout the Principality of Gracchus. The model of medical institutions and training methods for doctors had also been quickly valued by various kingdoms. Although the Church of Light was very resistant to the emergence of doctors, and there were many voices of opposition and suppression, they had finally given up because of the orders from the higher-ups.
Nowadays, even in the orc kingdoms, there were many legends about doctors. In the orc tribes, the development of medicine was even more backward. Once a person fell sick, he or she could only wait for death or the treatment of the tribe's priests. The priests of these tribes often worked part-time as doctors, and the Kelermo Medical Book was treasured and worshipped by these priests as a holy book.
Even in the orc kingdoms, the profession of doctors had become a legendary existence. It was said that doctors could bring the dead back to life, and they could even cure the plague and death. Everyone hoped that there would be a doctor in their tribe or city, who could bring them healing and light.
In this era, the proportion of deaths due to accidents and diseases was extremely high. Only a few people could live to the end of their lives. Thus, people's desire and need for doctors were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. After Lu Zhiyu announced his identity as a doctor, everyone's eyes lit up.
The soldiers were also stunned. After a long time, they rubbed their hands and asked, "Are you really a doctor?"
Lu Zhiyu smiled and nodded. "Yes, I hope to stay in Ayer to spread medicine and medical skills. At the same time, I will also train some medical apprentices."
Everyone was overjoyed. The soldiers immediately invited Lu Zhiyu in respectfully. Not long after, Lu Zhiyu received an invitation from the governor of the city, who was also the consul sent by the king.
