Chapter 10 A Preliminary Understanding of the Mainland Situation



The old lady handed her precious granddaughter to Xia Xue and rushed the family members to the meeting room.

Although I didn't cry after crying for so long, it was still tiring, especially for a baby who just wants to sleep when he is tired.

Jun Shutong was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Xia Xue tried to coax her, but she became even more drowsy.

[Host, don't fall asleep yet. I've found some new information about this world. Do you want to hear it?]

Jun Shutong instantly lost all his sleepiness: [I want to listen, I want to listen, expand on it.]

Jun Shutong also saw what happened today and the servants who were peeking around, which provided the system with a lot of information about this world.

Xia Xue held her young lady in her arms and coaxed her, and Jun Shutong also cooperated obediently and pretended to take a nap.

System: [This world is called Tianxing Continent, and your country is called Dayu Kingdom. Tianxing Continent is divided into ten kingdoms: three large kingdoms and seven small kingdoms, which together occupy half of the continent.]

[Persia, Japan, Siam, and Xiliang were vassal states of your Great Yu. Southern Chu, the Turks, and Tianzhu were vassal states of Xiyue.]

[Among them, the largest is the Jewish state, also known as the Holy See. This state is independent of anyone, yet simultaneously controls all nine nations. This is due to the Holy See's strong economy, abundant resources, and the largest military force on the continent.]

Jun Shutong: [Jewish State, Holy See? Is it the Jewish state that I understand?]

System: [Yes and no. The Jewish nation in this world is both a country and a large church. They believe in gods, or angels.]

Jun Shutong said disdainfully: [Humph, Jews who believe in birdmen.]

Because of her memories from her previous life, she didn't have much of a favorable impression of Jews.

The system continued: [There are three nations that aren't considered countries, but no nation dares to provoke them. They are the elves, the dwarves, and the orcs. These three races each occupy the other half of the continent.]

Jun Shutong was shocked. She knew that her mother was an elf, but she had only seen orcs and dwarves in fairy tales in the library in her previous life.

Her master was a Taoist priest. Apart from fortune-telling and feng shui, he taught her several types of boxing and internal energy techniques. As for reading and writing, her master only taught her when he was free.

Later, she was recruited into a special organization by the country, and only then did she have time to read her favorite books, among which fairy tales were her favorite.

Jun Shutong: [Could this orc have an animal lower body and a human upper body? That would be too scary.]

System: [Based on the information I found on them, they're not much different, but there are still some differences.]

[Orcs live in the Mysterious Beast Forest. Most adult orcs are similar to ordinary humans. They can speak and work. They rarely interact with humans. There is a strict hierarchy between races. They will only leave the Mysterious Beast Forest when exchanging supplies with humans.

They are covered in hair, prefer to eat raw food, and hate humans. This is because humans hunt their own kind, imprison them, and then sell them to arenas or mining areas for huge profits.

Jun Shutong sighed after hearing this. It is not easy to be born in any world, and it seems that the Tianxing Continent is even more cruel.

What about the dwarves? Do they really live underground, about a foot high?

System: [Due to their height and occupation, dwarves do live underground, occasionally in trees or caves. Their height isn't just one foot; most adult dwarves are around half a meter tall.]

[The dwarves are skilled in iron smelting and are proficient in casting various weapons. Half of the swords, armor, and armor on this continent are made by the dwarves.]

[The dwarves are few in number, but their strength lies in their unity. Like the elves, they never get involved in conflicts between nations, and no nation would be foolish enough to offend them.]

The more Jun Shutong listened, the more shocked he became: This dwarf tribe is quite powerful, but I don’t know which one will be stronger if a real fight breaks out, the dwarves or the Church.

[I really want to see what the legendary dwarves look like.]

System: [Host, after I upgrade, I can transmit the images directly to you. Then you can know what they look like without leaving home.]

Jun Shutong was overjoyed: [System, you still have this ability, then when can you upgrade? What are the requirements?]

System: [Host, I need a large amount of crystals to upgrade. Crystals can also expand space. If I want to upgrade to a higher level and have more functions, I will need a large amount of crystal gold.]

After hearing such harsh conditions, the few strands of hair on Jun Shutong's head drooped down.

[Forget it, let it be. I'm just a baby, where can I get you energy stones? If I can upgrade, that's great, but if not, forget it.]

Anyway, asking her to do hard labor to earn money to buy crystals was impossible. She also thought about asking her mother for it, but when she thought about her mother having to help the emperor maintain the army every year, she couldn't bear it.

Her mother is just a woman. Other wives of officials live a life of luxury at home, but her mother has to deal with the accountant every day, take care of the affairs of the mansion, and take care of her and her two brothers. Her mother is already very tired, and she needs to be sensible.

It's all that damn emperor's fault. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't be so exhausted. He's only polluting the air and wasting food. I hope he dies of idleness.

She had heard that this bastard emperor did everything except his job. How could such a person be worthy of the Jun family to defend the country and drive out foreign enemies?

Emperor Shunde, who was fighting cocks in the palace, suddenly felt his whole body hot and his chest pounding. He threw away the lifeless chicken in his hand and sat on the soft stool with his back drooped.

"What's wrong with me? Why do I suddenly feel hot all over and chest tightness?"

Eunuch Ming Dequan said, "Quick, help His Majesty in, and call the imperial physician."

Ten young eunuchs carried the emperor's body into the hall.
