Juan Suting, a little Taoist nun from the 22nd century, had just returned to the country when she was blown up into the sky. When she opened her eyes, she found herself soul-traveled into the body ...
It was Jun Shutong's first time out of the city and also his first time seeing the other side of the world.
She was attracted by a group of people wearing armor and holding swords. The armor was similar to that worn by soldiers in the army, but it was different when you looked closely.
The most eye-catching thing was that they were also holding several people. Those people had unkempt hair and were covered in hair. Their hands were tied with iron chains, and their lower bodies were only wearing aprons woven with vines.
Jun Shutong: [Indians?]
System: [Host, those are not Indians, they are orcs.]
She had heard about orcs when the maids were gossiping, but now that she saw a living one, she was still a little shocked.
"Mother, what are they doing?"
"Why are they chained?"
Yi pulled her hand back, lowered the curtain, and said:
"Those holding swords and wearing armor are from the slave-catching team. They specialize in capturing lone orcs, and sometimes lone humans."
"They sold the captured orcs and humans, claiming it was legal trade. The government couldn't do anything about them. After all, there were simply too many slaves and orcs on this continent."
Countless orcs die in the Colosseum every year, and no one cares about their life or death.
Jun Shutong: [What kind of world is this? Is it eighteenth-century Europe?]
Seeing this scene, she thought of her compatriots in the northern Myanmar industrial park. Their fates were so similar.
Thinking of this, my interest in traveling has faded a little.
Seeing that she was depressed, Yi was afraid that she was frightened, so she hugged her in her arms and gently stroked her back.
"Get some sleep. It's still early to get to the next town. Mother will call you for dinner."
Maybe she got up too early, she fell asleep quickly in Yi's arms.
After leaving the border of Dayu Kingdom, the caravan stopped in a small town for the night. As it was a major transportation route, the town looked very lively, with mostly merchants from all over the place, some staying here and some doing business here.
Xia Xue and Chen Feng booked two inns. The Jun family had too many people and too much supplies, so one inn could not accommodate so many people. They could only book two inns and stay there for one night.
Half of the guards lived in the large bunk bed, and the rest had to stand guard at night to look after the supplies. As for the ten secret guards, they were originally people hiding in the dark and did not have to worry about accommodation at all.
Once we are completely out of Dayu Kingdom, the inns on the road will be even smaller. Some inns in the city will not be able to accommodate so many people at once. The convoy will have to set up tents on its own on the road.
Those who followed the Jun family's convoy also found an inn nearby to stay. There were few of them, and some of them drove a carriage alone, so they had no worries about finding accommodation.
Yi carried Jun Shutong up to the second floor. The waiter placed the food on the table and brought two buckets of hot water before leaving.
"Miss, wipe your face first, then wash your hands, then you can eat."
"Um."
This time, Yi only brought a maid, Xia Xue, with her. Dong Yue stayed in the capital to handle business matters. Since Yi was not around, she had full authority over some matters.
The leader of the guards was Chen Feng, who had followed Yi before.
Chen Feng is the old man's personal guard, responsible for the safety of the mother and daughter. He is also the captain of the convoy. The other two hundred guards are all Jun Wansheng's carefully selected confidants.
After dinner, Yi went to inspect the supplies again before taking Jun Shutong to sleep.
He had a dreamless night and was awakened by various noises at dawn.
There was no other way. The inn was right next to the road, and many merchants had to travel early in the morning. The sounds of talking, horse hooves, and wheels were almost like those of a merchant going to a market.
"Get up and have breakfast when you wake up, so you can set off early."
Jun Shutong rubbed her eyes and had no appetite. It was too early. She was still dreaming when she was woken up. It was inevitable that she was a little grumpy.
"Mother, is Grandma's house far away? How long will it take us to reach the Elf Forest?"
"At the current speed, barring any unexpected events, it will take about twenty days. If there's heavy rain, it might be delayed a bit, but it won't take more than a month."
hiss!
[A month. No wonder my mother only returns to the elves once every few years. It turns out the journey is so far.]
[Why are there no airplanes, high-speed trains, trains, or cars in this world?]
[Even a tractor or a bicycle will do!]
Yi: [Airplane, high-speed train, tractor, what are they?]
System: [Host, don't be discouraged. At worst, we can build it ourselves. I have the technical information, and you can go find the materials. It's just airplanes and high-speed trains, rockets, and aircraft carriers. We can also build them. Our technology will only be more advanced than China's.]
Jun Shutong said disdainfully: [With all that crap you installed for me, you still have the nerve to brag here?]
System: It seems like I’m being looked down upon again.
Thinking that she still had a long way to go, she couldn't help but rub her butt. She was tired of walking and also tired of riding in the car.
Seeing her impatient look, Yi couldn't help but comfort her: "It's okay, we can walk slowly. We don't have to take a carriage every day. If there is a place we like, we can stop and rest for a day or two."
"Yeah, mommy is the best, mommy is so sweet."
"Baji"
Yi wiped the saliva from her face and raised the corner of her lips slightly. This little girl is so well-behaved when she is not causing trouble, but when she is rebellious, you can't wait to beat her little butt to pieces.
After breakfast, the Jun family's convoy also set off. The carriages that followed behind yesterday were waiting on the road early, so they had to be early, not late.
If you need someone's protection, you have to keep an eye on the caravan at all times. They won't notify you when they are in a hurry. Therefore, many people drive the carriage while eating sesame cakes or steamed buns.
