what monster?

After hearing Beiming Youyu's sigh, Yali couldn't help but nodded secretly.

If a person is no longer excited about new things, it means that the person's spirit has been 'corrupted' by the fixed things that have been accepted for a long time, and can no longer make changes.

She was originally worried about whether Beiming Youyu would be like this, but now it seems that she is undoubtedly overthinking.

"Yes, as far as you can see here, they are all full of human beings." Shi Liuli also sighed.

Her focus is different from Beiming Youyu.

Since entering the Vergal Empire, almost all of the people who have appeared in their eyes are humans, and there are also very few people of other races, such as elves and dwarves. Most of these people come to do business or come here for various reasons. The ones here, although rare, are not surprising.

Of course, the proportion of races other than humans is still relatively small.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Shi Liuli seemed to notice something and looked in a direction not far away, "There are actually orcs!?"

In that direction, there is a figure wearing a black cloak. The cloak seems to have a magic spell on it, making it impossible to see through the true appearance hidden under the cloak.

But even so, how could it be hidden from Shi Liuli's eyes?

Her voice was not loud, but she did not try to hide it. Immediately, the people around her—the people of the Vergar Empire—looked at her with sharp eyes.

The moment she blurted out these words, she felt an extremely cold gaze directed at her, coming from the orc she had just observed.

Shi Liuli immediately realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said. He scratched his head and said haha: "Well, I saw it wrong...ah haha..."

Because she didn't look like she was being fake, although the people around her were still a little confused, they averted their eyes and didn't care.

After all, we all have to make a living, so who would be so free to get to the bottom of it?

Seeing that the people around her no longer paid attention to her, Shi Liuli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt guilty and sorry.

The Vergal Empire looked down upon the orcs very much, and the reason why they wore a cloak was probably to avoid getting into trouble, or because they had to hide their identity. She didn't think twice about exposing the other person's true identity in such a blatant way. week.

However, just when she wanted to find the other person to apologize, she found that the figure was no longer in that position, and there was no figure of her around. It seemed that she had left.

It must be because of the farce just now, right?

Thinking of this, Shi Liuli felt even more guilty.

But... I didn't expect that besides them, there would be other orcs staying in the Vergar Empire!

Shi Liuli couldn't help but feel curious, and asked Yali.

Yali naturally noticed the scene just now, looked at Yu'er and Cui'er, and said doubtfully:

"Liu Li, with these two little guys, didn't you prepare for the empire? The Vergar Empire just looks down on the orcs. Although this is a bit excessive, it has not yet risen to the level of hatred."

After finishing speaking, she looked with some surprise at the place where the orc Shi Liuli had discovered just now, thinking to herself that there was an orc who could hide so well. It seemed that the cloak was also a very high-end magic item!

It seems that the background is not small.

"Uh! I never thought that I would have to travel through the Vergar Empire..." Shi Liuli turned away, her cheeks slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Originally, according to her expectation, they would not stay in areas other than the Far North Icefield, but what she didn't expect was that they could not reach the Northern Territory directly through the teleportation array, and had to pass through the Vergar Empire.

Yali chuckled lightly, withdrew her attention from that place and put it on Shi Liuli.

Seeing her embarrassed, even a little embarrassed, Yali felt that something was not real.

After all, Shi Liuli looks like an ordinary little girl at this moment. If she hadn't known the inside story, she probably wouldn't have connected her with the powerful Holy Spirit Emperor in Zhongzhou, right?

Of course, she still answered Shi Liuli's question just now:

"The Vergar Empire is no longer the empire led by Leslie I before. Although it discriminates against orcs, it is not hostile to orcs. If the orcs want to go to other places through the Vergar Empire or survive here, this level will still be the same. It’s okay, but the process is not that pleasant.”

"I see..." Shi Liuli held her chin with one hand and thought thoughtfully.

I'm afraid it's not just because Leslie I is no longer around, but also because the orcs themselves are a very large race. If the Vergar Empire is determined to encircle the orcs, it probably won't be able to bear the consequences.

If it weren't for the internal discord among the orcs, the Vergar Empire would probably have to curb its arrogance in front of them.

No force can be as large as a race, even if this force is a super force.

"However, you have to be more careful." Beiming Youyu interjected calmly.

Shi Liuli was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was referring to Yu'er and Cuier.

She looked at the two sisters beside her, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The two sisters were now wearing white robes. The large robes perfectly covered their tails, and the hoods also tightly covered their little heads. Thanks to this, most people would probably only Think of them as ordinary little human girls, right?

There must be no need to explain why you are dressed like this, right?

Although these two robes were made of excellent materials and the two sisters not only did not feel stuffy but were even very comfortable wearing them, Shi Liuli always felt a thorn in her heart.

Why do the two sisters have to hide their appearance?

Just because it's extremely boring, and it's also regional racial discrimination?

This is obviously unfair and abnormal.

But even so, what can Shi Liuli do?

Could she still be able to single-handedly reverse the thoughts that have been rooted deep in the minds of the people of the Vergar Empire for thousands of years?

Or should everyone with such thoughts be killed?

This is obviously impossible.

"Sister Liuli..." Yu'er seemed to be aware of Shi Liuli's mood and cried out worriedly.

"Ah, I'm sorry for making Xiao Yu'er worry..." Shi Liuli touched Yu'er's head and told her not to worry.

At this time, Shi Liuli felt that her left hand was covered by two small hands, and turned around - it was Cui'er.

Cui'er didn't say a word, she just held her hands tightly, but it made Shi Liuli's heart warm and cheered up again.

At this moment, the crowd in front suddenly started to commotion, followed by the sound of uniform iron military boots hitting the ground, rushing in this direction. It sounded like there were more than one, and they seemed to be in a hurry.

"Oh, that's annoying! Are you monsters making trouble again?", "I don't know, but it looks like it is.", "Yeah! Things haven't been peaceful lately...", "I don't know what happened this time. Which noble is in trouble?", "Shh! Keep your voice down, if you dare to talk about nobles, be careful that the army will take care of you first!"

The noisy discussion came, even though they were still far away, but Shi Liuli and others heard it clearly, and they all frowned, a little confused.

what monster?

Martial law in the city

Shi Liuli and others curiously cast their eyes at the gaps in the crowd. Through the crowd, they could see a group of soldiers wearing silver armor and long swords at their waists running past the road, seeming to be heading somewhere. Go.

Whether in terms of discipline or equipment, these people seem to be very sophisticated members of the army. I don't know what happened to make the army so serious.

Yali simply went to find someone and asked politely:

"Hello, what is the 'monster' you are talking about?"

The man was just about to leave, but was stopped by Yali. He was stunned for a moment. After discovering that he was a dignified, elegant and beautiful woman with extraordinary temperament, he immediately spoke as if he had been injected with chicken blood——

"Damn it, Mei - ah! Hello, you just came here recently, right? It seems so, otherwise it's impossible not to know what happened to the empire recently."

Yali hadn't answered "yes" yet, but the other party confirmed it on his own.

Well...they did arrive recently, so they just don't know what happened.

The man came closer, Yali frowned slightly, thinking that the man was going to take advantage of her, but the man whispered:

"It's not convenient for me to say too much, lest someone with a heart hears it, then I won't be able to eat and walk away - just recently, about ten days ago, a monster appeared in the empire and was harvesting everywhere. The lives of nobles came to this city just two days ago. One of the nobles in this city, Earl Hudson, was killed just yesterday. Now another noble should be targeted. "

Hearing what the other party said, Yali's eyebrows softened, knowing that she had misunderstood, but she immediately tightened her eyebrows.

Such a big thing happened, even the earl died.

The Earl's status in the Vergar Empire is equivalent to that of a high-level magician in the Mage Association. The death of one of them is a big deal, and from what this man said, it seems that many nobles have died in the past few days.

"Don't the empire have any effective measures? Just let the monster massacre the nobles?" she continued to ask.

The man smiled bitterly and said: "Of course there is, but firstly, the monster is alone and the empire cannot confirm its whereabouts. Secondly, the monster seems to be very strong. Even the army can't do anything about it. The nobles recently strengthened the guards around them, but none of them died at the hands of monsters."

"Well, although it is a good thing for common people like us, after all, those who died are vampires who eat people without spitting out their bones!" The man added, seeming to despise the nobles.

"Then do you know the physical characteristics of the monster, such as its appearance?" Yali continued to ask.

The man seemed to be knocked down by the question, and said slightly embarrassed:

"How do ordinary people like me know? After all, everyone who has seen the monster is dead. Now the outside world knows nothing about the monster."

Seeing that Yali seemed to still want to ask more questions, the man immediately felt his head growl and quickly shook his head and said:

"Beauty, I've said enough. If I say more, I won't know. If I don't say it anymore, I might get into trouble!" With that, he turned his head and got into the crowd and disappeared.

Having said all that, it would be terrible for him if someone stabbed him in the back, so he ran away decisively.

Besides, he is not a fool. Yali seems to have an extraordinary temperament. She must be either rich or noble. It would be good to take a look at such a person. If you want to achieve some unreasonable ideas with the little bit you know, I am afraid that I don’t even know how I died.

Seeing the other party walking away, Yalidai frowned slightly. Although she still had questions to ask, she did not stop the other party.

She doesn't want to force others, and similarly, she doesn't like to be forced by others.

When she returned to Shi Liuli, Shi Liuli immediately asked, "How are you doing? What did you ask?"

Yali shook her head and said calmly:

"We don't know much, but we don't have the time to find out. Let's hurry up and leave here through the teleportation array as soon as possible."

Now that things have become so big, he is still just an earl. If someone with a higher title dies, the whole city may not be under martial law.

By then, even the teleportation array will be controlled by the military, and it will be difficult for them to leave here in a short time.

Although I don't know why Yali said this, Shi Liuli and others chose to believe Yali and speed up their pace towards the teleportation array.

However, as luck would have it, what Yali was worried about actually came true——

The previous group of soldiers unexpectedly did not leave, as if their destination was here.

The queue stopped and spread out, surrounding both sides of the avenue. They put their hands on the swords at their waists, and a chilling air suddenly appeared in the air.

Among them, a man who looked like a captain came to the middle of the avenue and shouted:

"Everyone, hurry up and pack up and go home. Don't come out - note, everyone! The whole city is now under martial law and controlled by the army. If anyone is still lingering on the street after half a quarter of an hour, they will be regarded as suspicious. We will take enforcement measures against you and you will be responsible for the consequences!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd booed loudly, seemingly dissatisfied with the army's decision.

After all, they also need to eat. If they do this, all the harvest of the day will be lost. Moreover, this is a city-wide martial law, and no one knows how long it will last.

But they also know that when the whole city is under martial law, something terrible must have happened. If they dare to disobey or resist, the bright long swords on the waists of the soldiers will not attack civilians like them. Show mercy.

So, after a while, some people sighed and left one after another.

Of course, not everyone left, including some people who were not ordinary citizens, including Shi Liuli and the others.

When the captain saw that most of the people had left, but some people were still staying, he immediately looked sharply and drank in a deep voice:

"Why don't you leave yet! But you have to disobey orders!"

As he spoke, he half-pulled out the long sword at his waist, as if to intimidate them.

He also saw that these people were not ordinary people, but warriors. They were not beings that could be intimidated by just a few words. They had to be accompanied by some means of intimidation.

When necessary, he might directly order everyone here to be arrested or even killed on the spot.

Upon seeing this, several people immediately lost their temper, but they did not leave. Instead, they stood up and told the reasons why they did not leave:

"We are not local residents. Even if you let us leave, where can we go now that the whole city is under martial law?"

As soon as he finished speaking, about ten people came out to echo him, obviously all for the same reason.

The captain frowned, obviously not considering this aspect.

But he still made a decision quickly——

"If you don't have anywhere to go, just find a hotel or a place where people can stay as soon as possible. If you really can't find it, it's none of our business and we will carry out the process as usual!"

After all, he is just a captain and does not have much authority. It is already very good to be able to do this.

Although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they didn't say anything - after all, it's not that difficult to find a place to live. As long as you have money, it's hard to find a place to live. The consequences that the captain said about not being able to find a place are at best a deterrent. Just give them a try.

sudden change

There was no way. Although these people were very dissatisfied, they were not stupid enough to confront the army.

That's not called bravery, but stupidity.
