Chapter 8 Dawn, Departures, and the City

(Today's first chapter, please bookmark it and vote it!!)

At five o'clock in the morning, the entire manor woke up before the sun was revealed, and the farmers and slaves had already begun to work a new day under the supervision of the supervisor.

But all this has nothing to do with Liu Qi. He was just woken up by a maid to wash and prepare for breakfast. This is not modern. Breakfast is a little extravagant for ordinary people in the Bronze Age. Only those like the army, nobles, and citizens are qualified and confident to bear it. However...

Liu Qi was sitting on the chair with strange eyes now, staring at the breakfast in front of him in a daze.

On the other hand, Guterre was gnawing at his breakfast with a spring breeze on his face. It was obvious that he had a very cool night last night. Well, this could be seen from the face of Su Na, who was full of spring beside him. It was a blushing face, obviously feeling moisturized.

However, that was not what Liu Qi cares about. What he is concerned about now is how to eat the two things in front of him into his stomach.

"May I ask, Liu, is there anything you don't like for breakfast?" Guterre, who was chewing bread, asked when he looked at Liu Qi without touching a few bites for a long time.

Well, last night, Liu Qi told Guterre that his name was Liu, and he was an oriental traveler, so Guterre directly called Liu.

"Ahem, is there any milk or water?"

Liu Qi looked at the two pieces of black bread the size of a palm in front of him, his eyes twitched. He felt hundreds of grass and mud horses running around in his heart. He asked a little embarrassedly after hearing Guterre's words.

I have long heard that European black bread before World War II is known as the number one weapon in Europe. The black bread that has been placed for a few days is enough to serve as a brick. It is even said that some people used long black bread that has been placed for a few days as a wooden stick. It is even very powerful and the effect is a little stronger than that of a real wooden stick.

I thought it was an exaggerated word, but now Liu Qi believes it.

Is your sister a bread (black bread)? Is this bread (black bread)? When I took a bite, I almost broke my teeth. Do you confirm that this is not made of wood? Why is it so flexible and dry and difficult to eat!!!

However, seeing Guterre and Su Na on the opposite side chewing the same black bread and eating honey olives, Liu Qi could only admit that his modern man's teeth are indeed not as good as those of others in the Bronze Age, and even women's teeth are not as good as those of women...

"Ah, there is no problem with this. Please wait a moment. Liu, the milk will be served soon!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After gritting his teeth and dipping the hot milk with honey added, he finally chewed the thing that he didn't know if it could be called bread. Liu Qi, who had finished the breakfast, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, for the first time, Liu Qi felt that there were things that were even more terrifying than gutter oil, poisonous rice, and Sultan red salted eggs. At least the special foods of the Celestial Dynasty tasted and looked good (of course, after eating them, they were at your own risk). This black bread has reached the point where it can directly collapse the mouths and teeth of the Celestial people. Not to mention the so-called taste (the taste of the Bronze Age bread is terrifying when you think about it), just the rough flour particles (the flour was ground by human and animal power until the hydropower mill appeared. The efficiency and the flour produced were enough to cause modern people to collapse), Liu Qi even suspected that the bread made by these flour was enough to serve as a tool for torture, and gave it to modern suspects enough to make the other party spit out his old foundation (is it so exaggerated?).

Well, of course Guterre didn't have the ability to hear the resentment in Liu Qi's heart. After he finished his simple breakfast, he watched his wife and guests enjoy the breakfast (did you confirm that the other party was enjoying it instead of chewing it on his teeth?), he ordered his wife a few words, and then took Liu Qi to the door of the manor.

"Great Liu, this is Quintas, he will take you to Bella City!"

After breakfast, Guterre began to fulfill his promise and brought Liu Qi to a strong man (relative to others) wearing leather armor and a bronze dagger hanging around his waist.

"Hello! The noble Mr. Liu*! Next is the time for me to serve you!"

Kunta is a strong man in his thirties and forties. Well, at least Liu Qi personally feels that he is definitely not the opponent of the guy with scars on his face in front of him, suspected of being a retired soldier with a short sword more than one foot long hanging around his waist. This made Liu Qi mutter a little, is this guy Guterre planning to kill and rob, right?

However, Liu Qi thought again, is it necessary to be so troublesome for the other party? He could do it yesterday afternoon or evening, so there is no need to wait until now to find excuses to kill himself halfway through.

It's pitiful. If Guterre knew that Liu Qi's current thoughts would definitely be yelling injustice. He had never thought about murder and robbery. Well, of course, we don't rule out that Guterre was reluctant to use violence or use violent means to make a purchase. After all, Liu Qi's outfit looks like he can't put down much things. Even with that strange bag on his body, he would be the same. How many things can he put into a bag after deducting food and clothes? Just think about it with his mind, you will know that there will definitely be not many! In comparison, it's better to use transactions to obtain items.

In fact, after Guterre had ordered Quinta to lead Liu Qi into Bella City, he went to the family to send the sample of complete white salt, and then the reaction of the family was not something Guterre could think about.

Liu Qi didn't know the colorful intent in the manor who seemed to be entertaining him, but Liu Qi could guess more or less a little bit of this guy's psychology. After all, in this Bronze Age, anyone with knowledgeable knowledge would understand the value of salt, a human body necessity, especially the high-quality white salt on Liu Qi's hand symbolized white silver coins and golden gold coins. Otherwise, why did Guterre treat Liu Qi like a guest of honor, even arranged accommodation, dinner, even arranged women to sleep, and had breakfast together. Anyway, Liu Qi would not think that it was such a nonsense excuse for the Romans in the Bronze Age that were too hospitable!

Nothing else, just see the benefits!

Well, but if you know it, you can just know it well, and you don’t have to say it out loud. Therefore, Liu Qi still thanked Guterre seriously and expressed his gratitude.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Captain Quinta, have you ever joined the army before? What are the fun places or specialties in Bella City? By the way, what are the prices in Bella City?..."

After leaving the manor, Liu Qi followed Kunta on a dirt road that could be distinguished by the naked eye. Well, it was probably the same as the kind of muddy road that Liu Qi had seen in his hometown in his rural areas when he was a child.

Looking at Kunta who was walking in front of him, looking at the soldiers walking in a stern manner, Liu Qi began to prepare to inquire about the news from the guy in front of him while looking at various manors and civilians who had been discovered from time to time.

But unfortunately, Kunta didn't know if he was too taciturn or what. Except for occasionally replying to Liu Qi, he was walking alone for the rest of the time.

Later, when he saw that he couldn't take anything out of the other party's mouth, Liu Qi could only give up the idea of ​​condom and inquire about some information. It's not easy to sing a one-man show, right?

Seeing that the other party was not in trouble, Liu Yun had no choice but to get some information from the other party. He would never go up and threaten the other party and torture some information, right? Well, if you ignore the equipment and force factors between the two, this is a good idea. Unfortunately, Liu Qi Tongshao's current strength is probably the opponent in front of him who only reveals a strong back...

In desperation, Liu Qi began to pay attention to the architecture of the Empire-era world on the roadside.

Starting from the manor where you first discovered the residence, signs of human activities began to appear on the roadside. Obviously, this place is no longer the empty wilderness that Liu Qi had experienced before, but has arrived in an area where humans are intensively active. Otherwise, such a lively scene would not have happened.

Slaves dressed in shabby linen clothes, farmers were busy on the farmland, planting various crops one by one (well, Liu Qi said that he was a farmer blind manor, and he really didn't recognize these crops), fruit forests, and large and small manors appeared around the road.

However, Liu Qi found that the closer the manors to Bella City, the more complete the facilities, the more they are. For example, the manors he sees now even have special walls and various defensive measures.

I remembered the tall wooden fences, alarm bells, watchtowers and the manor guards whom I saw in the manor of Gutter, who were relatively simple in equipment, but still had murderous aura and equipment... Think about the corpses I encountered for the first time I just entered this world of Empire Age...

It seems that this is not a peaceful day.

Liu Qi couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his mouth.

Damn, I don’t know how to fight qi, magic and fairy skills, and I don’t even have any guns, bows and crossbows. Can a small axe fight against soldiers in the cold weapon era? It seems that this is not a reliable idea? Liu Qi believes that his personal combat ability is at most above the average level. If he fights desperately, there is no problem with one or two people. However, if the opponent has too many people or has long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, the consequences will be very bad. After all, Liu Qi was just an otaku two days ago, okay? It seems too nonsense to expect to turn into a haloman or a martial arts master after killing a wolf.

"Well, weapons... It's a pity that those Medals of Honor or Call of Duty type game worlds dare not enter. Besides, what you need now is money rather than guns. This time, try to get some money first and then consider how to get weapons... TMD doesn't have money now..." Liu Qi thought about it and walked habitually. Anyway, his feet were dirt roads, and there were no cars these days, so he was not afraid of being hit.

"Peng!"

"Ouch! Sorry, sorry..." After Liu Qi had a close contact with Quintas behind his head, he finally woke up from his own world of thinking and began to apologize in a habitual manner.

"Ahem, there is no need to apologize, Mr. Liu*, this is Bella City!"

Looking at Liu Qi who kept apologizing to him, Kunta's tone did not fluctuate at all, but pointed his finger forward with his finger.
