Great time travel

Chapter 27, Peep from Another World
"...This handsome magician brother, have you just come to this city? You must be exhausted from the journey all the way? Would you like to go to that hotel with me? Take a look at this place The wonderful style? Guaranteed to make you forget the fatigue of the journey!"

"...Meow! Do you want to taste the wonderful taste of a cat's tongue? By the way, I bought it and let's go to bed together, okay?"

"...Meow! Handsome magician brother! Hurry up and buy me meow! I'll give you a half-price discount meow!"

"...Meow... As long as three silver coins, I and sister Lena can accompany you until dawn meow!"

On the streets of Ita Rica, Wang Qiu, who originally wanted to inquire about some news, accidentally fell into the siege of Zhanjie Miao Niang.Next, there was even a cat-eared lady who was particularly enthusiastic, and even took the initiative to lift up her skirt to let Wang Qiu watch her "flower buds" covered in fluff.

Facing the enthusiastic siege of such a large group of "meow girls standing on the street", Wang Qiu couldn't stand it, so he had to throw a few copper coins indiscriminately, break away from them and flee-well, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Wang Qiu would be a little The urge to fuck these cats... No way, the furry arms and soft meat balls of the cat-eared lady are so comfortable to touch.I believe those shit-shoveling officers who often lick cats must have a deep understanding.

Moreover, the appearance of these cute cat-eared girls sticking out their tongues to lick their fur from time to time is full of a wonderful temptation--as we all know, cats are very clean animals, and they are always constantly Use your tongue to remove dust and dirt from your hair, keep your body clean, and sometimes lick each other's fur... And once this happens to cat-eared pussies... oh oh oh, why are you so cute?
"...Hoohoo—I said, this city of Ita Rica...is really 'prosperous'! Could it be the characteristic industry here?"

After finally suppressing the impulse in his heart, looking back at the cat girls, monster girls, and winged human (angel) prostitutes all over the street, smoking small delicate pipes while beckoning customers with seductive smiles, Wang Qiu couldn’t help feeling a little bit. I was surprised, "...Speaking of which, this city doesn't look too big, but why are there so many prostitutes? On the street in front of me, there are already hundreds of girls selling their clothes on the street. Is it meat?"

"...cough cough, this... my lord, the original city of Ita Rica is not so depraved! The demi-human prostitutes on the street today are all I have never seen before, probably from recently Flood victims from the imperial capital!"

One of the indigenous guides of Wang Qiu and his party, the old village head of Gota Village coughed a little awkwardly, and explained, "... there is a famous 'Black Street' outside the southeast gate of Ulabianka, the imperial capital. , it is filled with all kinds of gangsters and illegal transactions, and it is also the largest Fengyue Street in the entire empire. It gathers prostitutes of almost all races in the entire continent. There was no business, so I could only follow the refugees and move around. Seeing that you are well-dressed and have an extraordinary demeanor, my lord, I naturally want to come up to show my hospitality..."

In this regard, Wang Qiu could only roll his eyes helplessly... Even though this operation was an infiltrating reconnaissance in disguise, Wang Qiu and the others were not interested in changing into rags and posing as paupers, and then going out to get other people's eyes: Not to mention pretending not to be like them at all-how can there be poor people with ruddy complexion and strong body like them?Moreover, in today's sensitive time of constant disasters, ordinary sloppy poor people may not even be able to get in the city gate.

Therefore, even though they put on clothes similar to the local aboriginal style, according to the standards of this world, Wang Qiu and the others still dressed extravagantly.For example, Wang Qiu's magician's robe is made of very high-grade woolen material, with exquisite embroidery patterns on it, the boots under his feet are also brand-name products, and there is a gold badge on the hat.Li Wei's half-body armor and helmet are also gold-plated and silver-plated, and the hilt of the sword is even inlaid with rubies... In order to show that they treat everyone equally, before leaving, they also changed the two leading parties, Leilei and the old village chief. Clothes made of high-end materials.

Therefore, when this group of "rich guys" entered the city of Ita Rica, the competition was fierce and business was difficult (a small city with more than 1 people, so many prostitutes flooded in at once, naturally, there was a serious oversupply) The girls standing on the street are being targeted... Not to mention Wang Qiu, a young temporary urban management worker at the deputy department level, even Political Commissar Guo, who has reached the age of retirement and re-employment, has been pestered by several wing-human whores endlessly.As for the dignified and handsome former paladin Li Wei, a large group of over-enthusiastic beast-eared girls posted up to offer him kisses, which made him dizzy, but it was a pity that he was not only groped Even the ruby ​​on the hilt was pried away by a nimble animal-eared loli...

All in all, despite the ironic episodes mentioned above, the entire reconnaissance operation was generally considered a success.Wang Qiu and the others walked around the main streets of the entire city, and bought a batch of strange-looking fruits, vegetables, herbs, and small animals in the market in Ita Rica.Some of the coins spent came from the donations of the refugees in the Arnus Hill refugee camp, but more were collected on the road—on the way to Ita Rica, the king Qiu and the others encountered three waves of rout soldiers and robbers. Naturally, these unlucky bandits kicked on the iron plate and were slaughtered like melons and vegetables. face coins...

Because for the People's Liberation Army invading other worlds, the walls and towers of Ita Rica City are not an obstacle at all.So Wang Qiu didn't pay much attention to the city's defense facilities, but instead focused on the residents and social conditions in the city.

According to Wang Qiu and his team's observations, although the Earl of Fomar indeed accommodated a large number of subhuman immigrants and is known for its "racial equality", the citizens living in Ita Rica are still mostly pure-blooded humans. Even accounted for the vast majority.Most of the demi-human residents in the territory live scattered in the rugged and barren Romanian mountains, forming villages and small towns inhabited by different races.

Regarding this phenomenon, the old village chief's explanation was that it involved a matter of citizenship—the social system of this alien empire was roughly equivalent to a mixture of the ancient Roman Empire and the feudal system of the Middle Ages.At the beginning, those who were eligible to live in the city were basically citizens, and those who lived outside the city were "barbarians" and foreigners.Although the situation has changed since then, if you do not have citizenship rights, you will still be discriminated against if you live in the city.For example, you have to pay extra taxes, you are treated unfairly in the law, etc. In times of crisis, you may even be deprived of your property and expelled.

The citizenship rights of the empire are very precious. There are only more than 200 million first-class imperial citizens, who are the backbone and foundation of the country, and the "imperial people" in the true sense; the second-class free citizens mainly come from the For other human countries conquered by the empire, their loyalty to the empire has to be questioned (refer to the loyalty of the Jews and Britons to the ancient Roman Empire), but as long as they have merit, they also have a certain chance of obtaining citizenship.The third class of "foreigners" currently refers to the citizens of various vassal states subject to the empire.As for the lower levels, there are serfs and slaves.

As for sub-human races such as orcs, elves, and dwarves, within the empire system, only a small part can obtain the qualifications of free citizens, and the rest are treated as barbarians, and their legal status is equivalent to that of wild beasts ( Similar to how early Americans viewed Indians), unless there are special provisions in some treaty or agreement, it is perfectly legal for the citizens of the empire to kill them and capture them as slaves.It is very absurd that if they become slaves, their legal status will rise... However, since the lord has the right to issue local laws and regulations in his own territory, thanks to the asylum policy of the former earl, in the Buddha In the territory of the Earl of Marl, the overall status of the demi-humans has finally risen from the level of "beasts available for hunting" to "protected animals". This has caused the suffering demi-human tribes from all over the empire to flock to them and migrate here to settle here.But this doesn't mean that demihumans without citizenship rights can directly live in the city. In fact, they generally can only go to the wilderness to settle down.

Although there have always been many ferocious-looking demihumans in the various legions of the empire, such as giants, goblins, ogres, and pig-headed people, etc., but in fact, in the eyes of the ruling class of the empire, their status is actually Similar to pterosaurs, war horses, and military dogs, they are not regarded as soldiers at all, but are treated as livestock, which can be called cannon fodder among cannon fodder. As for political status, it is purely a joke.

However, there are also a few races of demihuman intelligent beings who can obtain the same status as human soldiers in the legion, and obtain imperial citizenship through meritorious service, and even become officers and nobles.Among them are werewolves who act as commandos, dwarves who act as military artisans, and elves who act as elite archers and scouts-although some reasonable parties believe that elves in the forest are good at bows and arrows. In the woods, the line of sight is blocked by plants, and the ability to shoot arrows is not easy to use. In the black forests of Central Europe on the earth, all the Germanic berserkers with big axes and maces rushed out. Among the horse-riding nomads in the world, the most powerful eagle archers will be produced...

But in fact, this only means that for humans, the forest is indeed a battlefield that is not suitable for using bows and arrows, but it is not the case at all for elf warriors with light bodies and strong jumping abilities.It is indeed difficult to exert the power of bows and arrows on the forest floor, but if you are fighting in the canopy, the long-range shooting of bows and arrows is still very useful.It is the standard tactic for elf archers to deal with human adventurers by ambush in the trees in advance, shoot arrows to attack enemies on the ground, and then retreat with tree vines to avoid melee contact.In addition, in the fantasy world, the elves in the forest have to deal with many flying targets, such as strange birds, pterosaurs and human dragon knights, etc. How can they get along without exquisite archery skills?
Of course, in the city of Itarica at this moment, not to mention the multi-ethnic regular legion of the empire, even the noble private soldiers under the name of Earl Vermar have already died in the great flood of Mount Arnus and the other two He lost everything in the civil strife in which the noble lords of the family competed for the custody of the young countess—although the former Earl, His Excellency Colt, died in an accident before the "gate" at the top of Arnus Hill opened.But before that, as the aristocratic territory closest to the "gate", most of Earl Vermar's private soldiers had followed the emperor's and senate's call-up orders and set off to the camp on Arnus Hill to gather for orders and prepare to participate in the foreign war. World invasion battle.As a result, a great flood ushered in, and the entire army was immediately wiped out. It also led to the unfortunate death of a large number of military nobles in the Earl of Fomar, which caused a devastating blow to the ruling class of the entire Earl.

In other words, in the Earl of Vermar's territory today, not only the Earl's family has only one young daughter left to be the heir, but even the offshoots of the Earl's family and many vassals such as barons and knights below have been almost wiped out. A group of weeping orphans and widows remained.Not only has the military strength of the entire earldom been weakened unprecedentedly, but the administrative system has also been paralyzed and shut down. In this era, the ruling class is often divided between military and government.

Under such circumstances, Princess Pingna, who came from the imperial capital, was able to take over the city of Itarica without any objection.Besides a small number of militiamen, the current armed force guarding Ita Rica is Princess Pinna's personal guard "Rose Knights".
