Eva tidied up Lu Zhiyu's clothes. He was wearing a light red pullover with a belt, white underwear, white trousers, and black boots. It was a very popular style in Niyah.
"Okay, that's it!"
Eva said as she served breakfast. Although it made no difference to Lu Zhiyu whether he ate or not, he still kept his eating habits.
"Master, where are we going today? Are we still going to the National Library? "Eva poured Lu Zhiyu a glass of wine.
The National Library was the largest library in Niyah, and it had a collection of books that Lu Zhiyu hadn't read in recent years. Lu Zhiyu had also gone to the library to browse through them.
"Let's not go today. Let's go to the streets and watch the fun."
The streets of Niyah were very lively that day, as an emissary from the Holy Seville Empire would arrive in the city soon to meet with Emperor Zolman II of the Crete Empire. This was the first time that the Crete Empire and the Holy Seville Empire had established diplomatic relations. It was also the first time that the human and orc kingdoms had sent envoys to each other in many years. Both sides intended to ease the tense relationship between the human and orc races.
At the same time, the original situation of no communication between the two countries had been further improved. The two sides were preparing to sign a series of border trade regulations, as well as a series of cooperation matters between the two countries. At the same time, the Holy Seville Empire was trying its best to crack down on the slave trade of the orcs. This time, the Crete Empire intended to ban the use of orcs as slaves, as well as to release and return a large number of orc slaves.
However, the latter plan involved a lot of benefits. Not only the Crete Empire, but also the orc kingdoms. Some of the nobles in the orc kingdoms were also engaged in the slave trade. Some of the weaker orc races were privately sold to slave traders in the human kingdoms in order to gain a lot of benefits. This situation had even formed a huge profit chain. However, at the same time, a large number of human slaves were constantly flowing into the orc kingdoms.
At the same time, the leaders of the Crete Empire also intended to ease the relationship with the Holy Seville Empire and put further pressure on the Church of Light, forcing it to make further concessions and compromises.
As the first diplomatic relationship between a human kingdom and an orc kingdom, as well as the Holy Seville Empire, which was the first powerful dynasty to unify the orc kingdoms in the north of the Alen Continent, it aroused everyone's curiosity. A large number of people were waiting on the streets, waiting for the emissary to cross the King's Avenue in the center of Niyah City to meet Emperor Zolman II.
Early in the morning, the city gates were wide open, and the streets were filled with people. The streets and alleys were filled with crowds of onlookers. Many young girls and women crowded together on the roofs of houses and buildings, shouting at the people below. The most recent war between the humans and the orcs was forty years ago. That time, the Crete Empire and the Church of Light had joined forces to destroy the Kingdom of Menkaure. In less than a month, the entire orc kingdom had been annihilated. The orc kingdom had been terrified, and no one had dared to take a single step south.
More than forty years had passed, and there might still be some orcs who maintained hatred and hostility towards humans. However, humans had long forgotten the threat of the orc kingdom. To them, the orcs were just a weak barbarian race in the cold, barren, and desolate north. Compared to the prosperous and powerful human kingdoms, the orcs were just a supporting character on the Alen Continent.
This kind of natural arrogance and contempt seemed to exist in the hearts of everyone in the Crete Empire. This time, when they came to watch the envoy of the orc kingdom enter the city, they felt as if they were some barbarians who had come to pay their respects. They had come to show off and watch the monkeys.
They had long forgotten that the orcs were an intelligent race that had entered the era of city-states much earlier than them. A thousand years ago, they were a powerful existence that had almost wiped out the human race. If not for the original king, the Golden King Ahenaten, leading the human race out of the wilderness and fighting to the death on the Red River Plains, he would have killed the twelfth orc king, Costa, and laid the foundation for the development of the entire human race.
It was likely that the entire orc kingdom had already moved south and occupied the entire Alen Continent. Humans had been reduced to a small branch of the orc kingdom, or perhaps even exterminated by the orcs. Just like the rat-men, who were the first to establish the orc civilization and city-states, they were now nowhere to be seen except in some small tribes on the borders of the orc kingdom.
A large number of soldiers blocked the road to maintain order. This was an envoy from the orc kingdom. Although the Crete Empire looked down on the orc kingdom, the Seville Empire was still a large dynasty that unified the entire orc kingdom. With hundreds of thousands of troops under their command, no one dared to look down on these hundreds of thousands of troops. In terms of etiquette, no one dared to neglect the other party.
The city gate opened, and a large number of Lion Men in armor entered the city aggressively. There was a long line of human spearmen standing on both sides. At this moment, when they saw the Lion Men of the Northern Territory, they felt a little scared, as if they could smell the stench of blood.
Whether they had been on the battlefield or not, it was easy to tell at a glance. When the people in the city saw these cavalrymen enter the city, they couldn't help but shiver. Hundreds of cavalrymen lined up neatly and entered the city. After they passed through, everyone relaxed and began to talk about them.
"Is this the orc cavalry? It looks like they are going to eat people. "
"Yeah, I heard that these orc barbarians really like to eat people."
"It's so scary! I didn't expect these orcs to be as weak as I thought they were!"
"They don't look too different from us, but they have a lot more hair on their faces."
"Is that general also a beastman? I can't tell at all! "
They were the Knights of the Northern Region who had accompanied Verthandi to conquer the world, and their leader was Aaron Evans, one of the first Holy Knights. He was Verthandi's direct subordinate, a general and confidant who suppressed the Seville Empire. He had been Verthandi's direct subordinate since the earliest battle in the Amos Icefield, when they slaughtered the evil dragon Froste.
Aaron Evans was different from the other Knights Templar. He was a human, and he was a very special member of the upper echelons of the orc kingdom. It was precisely because he was a human that he had been sent to the Crete Empire to establish a relationship between the Crete Empire and the Holy Seville Empire. This also represented the importance of the Crete Empire.
