After leaving the shop, Lulunaka took Julius to the south.
"Where are we going?" Julius asked.
Lulunaka walked in front and did not immediately answer Julius's question. She just walked forward, and Julius had to follow behind her.
On the road to the south, there were more and more people.
The two walked on the side of the road, sometimes shuttling through the crowd, and sometimes brushing shoulders with people. Lulunaka's petite figure was not brushing shoulders with other people.
A carriage carrying goods passed by Lulunaka. Lulunaka trotted to the front and said to the Coachman, "Sir, can I take a ride?"
The Coachman was an old man with rough skin. Heavy work had left a lot of scratches on his face, which made him look older than his actual age.
Seeing Lulunaka blinking like a child, the Coachman's face had a little more smile, "Where are you going, child? If it's not on the way, I won't specially change the route for you."
"I think you will at least pass by Diosi Square, right?"
Lulunaka blinked and sparkled, which made her look like a lively and lovely girl, "Please help me, honorable sir."
The Coachman laughed a few times, "Sit in the back, child."
"Thank you, sir.
Brother, come and thank these kind gentlemen. "
Lulunaka waved to Julius, and Julius came over and thanked the Coachman very honestly.
The Coachman looked at the two children beside his carriage, and the smile on his face did not fade.
It seemed that he had met a pair of siblings who were going out to play. The younger sister was lively and cheerful, while the older brother was a little too dull and looked a little nervous.
"Go to the back, children. As long as you don't mind the strange smell, you can sit there for as long as you want. However, when that time comes, I will send you directly out of the city."
Lulunaka and Julius thanked the Coachman again, and then sat down at the back of the carriage.
At the very end of the carriage, there was a wooden plank that allowed the two of them to sit side by side and watch the scenery pass by.
This was a good location, but the smell coming from the carriage was a little strong, which made Julius pinch his nose.
"What are those behind?
The smell is a little strong. "
"Food and coarse condiments." Lulunaka sniffed. "The taste of this salt … is refreshing."
"It's too pungent," Julius said. "There's also a salty smell."
"The dried fish has sacrificed its texture and taste in order to preserve it for a longer time," Lulunaka said. "This has a different flavor."
Julius didn't think that this was a flavor, this smell was a little hard to accept.
"You should be satisfied that there are kind people who don't want us to walk. Brother, if you're so picky, I would think that you're a noble young master from somewhere," Lulunaka said.
Julius shook his head, he actually didn't care about the smell, he really cared about other things.
"Where are you going to take me?" He asked this question again.
"Let's walk around first, I haven't been to the King Castle for a long time, let me see if there are any changes in this place."
Lulunaka said. "If we don't see the changes in this city now, we won't have the chance in the future."
"There won't be a chance in the future?" Julius asked.
Lulunaka didn't seem to have the intention to answer Julius's question, and avoided this topic. "You'll know in the future, even if I explain it to you now, you won't understand, you'll probably think that I'm talking nonsense."
Since Lulunaka already said so, Julius didn't continue to ask, but this doubt was left in his heart.
The two of them sat at the back of the carriage, looking at the scenery on both sides retreating.
Now the two of them were still in the expat area, the surrounding buildings were very close to each other, there were both houses and shops, the people coming and going kept passing by the carriage that the two of them were in.
Julius had never seen such a lively scene before. His ears were filled with noises. There were people talking and shouting, as well as the neighing of animals.
When Julius was looking around, Lulunaka lowered her head, using the small knife in her hand to carefully carve the wooden statue in her hand.
The small wood that day had already been cut into a complete human shape, there was no more place to cut, now Lulunaka was carefully adding details to this wooden statue that had a rough outline.
"The sun is high in the sky, the shadows of snakes are everywhere, the eagle's claws are broken, and it dies from exposure to the sun …" Lulunaka was still humming words that Julius couldn't understand at all. If she was singing, then the lyrics were too strange.
At this time when everyone was busy, only Julius could hear what Lulunaka was humming.
After leaving the expat area, the road narrowed slightly, and it wasn't so smooth.
"This rotten road has been here for hundreds of years, can't it be repaired properly for once?" Lulunaka stopped carving the small knife in her hand, sighed, and put the wooden statue into her arms.
On this bumpy road, even she was in no mood to continue working on her work.
"It's so bumpy that my butt hurts."
"Why is this road so bad?" Julius asked.
"You'll have to ask the people of the Double Eagle Empire, but I don't think anyone will be willing to answer your question, probably even think that you're mocking them."
Lulunaka laughed, "The foreign expatriates have a better life than the local residents … this kind of thing still hurts their hearts, although it's true."
At this time, a group of people on horseback passed by the carriage that the two of them were in.
It was a group of riders on tall horses, wearing clothes that were different from the local residents.
They wore robes of various colors, and on the robes were leather and iron armor that protected the key parts.
When these riders passed by, Julius saw the weapons hanging on their waists.
Axes, swords, and spears were not rare, but the curved sword that was like the New Moon was eye-catching.
Julius felt that he had seen people dressed like this before, then he remembered that this was the common dress of the people of the Crescent Empire, especially the warriors — Olga was actually dressed like this.
"It's very eye-catching."
Lulunaka said. Obviously, she also noticed these riders. "They are your compatriots. Aren't you going to say hello to them?"
Julius froze for a moment at first, but soon understood that Lulunaka meant that they were all people of the Crescent Empire.
Because he was born in a poor and desolate village, Julius' world was only as big as a village, and he did not have the self-awareness that he was a New Moon citizen living in the Crescent Empire. Even now, when Lulunaka mentioned it, he did not feel that it was real. It sounded like someone else's business.
And no matter how you looked at it, Julius was not so much a citizen of the Crescent Empire, but his appearance and skin color were more like a citizen of the Double Eagle Empire.
After all, there were obvious differences between the people of the Eurand Continent and the Yilan Continent.
"I don't think they will treat me as a compatriot," Julius said.
"That's really a pity. You are clearly a citizen of the Crescent Empire."
Lulunaka laughed. "But if it were one or two hundred years ago, you would also be a citizen of the Double Eagle Empire. If it were even earlier, even the people of the Crescent Empire would belong to the Double Eagle Empire.
There would be no New Moon, no scimitars, no nomads, only the flag of the Double Eagle flying. "
It sounded like Lulunaka was praising, but in the next moment, it became sarcastic. "Unfortunately, the moonlight is shining on the earth now, the scimitars are falling like snow, and the sound of horse hooves is constant. As for the flag of the Double Eagle, it is hanging on the city wall in fear of angering the Crescent Empire that is surrounding it. No matter how glorious it used to be, it is now just a down-and-out family."
"You seem to hate the Double Eagle Empire," Julius said.
Lulunaka replied with a bright smile. "Who doesn't hate something that stinks?"
