Chapter 402 The Unsolved Mystery of the Centaurs
Chapter 402 The Unsolved Mystery of the Centaurs
Liu Youwan's heart skipped a beat, but his smile remained unchanged.
Sure enough, there wasn't a single fool among them.
He remained expressionless and smiled:
"Lord Kyle is very observant."
"Yes, the surface environment of our Blue Star is somewhat harsh, which is why we built cities underground."
Upon hearing this, Thorin slapped his thigh with his large, fan-like hand, causing his beard to tremble.
"Ha! That's just like us dwarves!"
"We also like living underground; it's comfortable, and there are mines everywhere, making it convenient for blacksmithing!"
Liu Youwan smiled but didn't respond to the question.
The dwarves liked it, but the Great Xia were helpless.
He turned around and raised his hand in greeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this way please."
"Next, let's take a look at the commercial area."
As you turn a corner, a cacophony of noise hits you.
The streets were bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder.
Because it is an underground city, space is precious and the population density is quite high.
Young mothers pushing strollers, couples holding hands and chatting, children playing and laughing with their schoolbags on their backs, elderly people carrying shopping baskets...
They were all taken aback when they saw this group of representatives from different ethnic groups with such different styles.
Then, they all widened their eyes and cast curious glances.
No one panicked or screamed, and no one came up to watch.
Everyone just quickly pulled out their phones and started snapping photos of them.
Suppressed gasps occasionally rose from the crowd.
Kyle's mind stirred, and his magic extended outwards.
The magical elements in the air were so thin that they were almost imperceptible.
His brows furrowed involuntarily.
In this environment, the speed of magic recovery becomes extremely slow.
Fortunately, the magic stored in his body was enough to sustain him for a while.
This world is indeed completely different from Terra.
Elder Muyu, on the other hand, took a keen interest in the "sky" and "sun" above his head.
He leaned on his wooden cane, looked up, and said:
"How...how did they do that?"
"Is this the sun you created? It can even emit light and heat!"
"Can sky scenes be created too?"
Liu Youwan explained with a smile:
"That's one of our lighting devices; we call it the 'artificial sun.'"
"As for the sky, it's a projection technology, designed to alleviate the psychological pressure of living underground for a long time."
Beside Elder Muyu, a young water sprite quietly tugged at his sleeve.
"Elder, this world isn't as comfortable as our Terra."
"Of course." Elder Muyu smiled.
"The world of Great Xia has no magical elements, so it's naturally different from Terra."
"It is already quite remarkable that the Great Xia Dynasty was able to build such a city underground without magic."
Thorin the dwarf's eyes lit up, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
His gaze was drawn to the silent new energy vehicles weaving through the streets.
He pointed at a tram that sped by and exclaimed in amazement.
"Hey! Look at that metal box, it's moving pretty fast!"
"This thing is much more convenient than our mounts."
"And surprisingly, its tail doesn't smoke, unlike those tanks!"
"We'll have to study this carefully later!"
Just then, an even more commotion arose from the back of the street.
The orc procession that took the second elevator arrived.
A bear-like, muscular man, over three meters tall, had a huge water tank fixed to his back.
Inside the water tank, a girl with a beautiful blue fish tail was holding onto the edge of the tank, curiously sticking her upper body out.
She looked at the bustling street, her blue eyes filled with envy.
"I wish our tribe could be built like this."
Upon hearing this, the bear-man carrying her chuckled憨憨地.
"Don't worry, once we drive the demons away, we'll definitely be able to live like that too, Karin."
"Uh-huh!"
The mermaid girl nodded vigorously.
Their arrival caused the crowd on the street to erupt in excitement.
The visual impact of orcs is far greater than that of elves and dwarves!
"Wow! That minotaur is so cool! He looks so wild, like a bull demon king!"
"With those muscles, one slap could kill me, right?"
A girl whispered to her friend,
"OMG! That centaur is so handsome! I want to ask... does he go to the men's restroom or the stables to relieve himself?"
Another girl chimed in, discussing the matter with a serious expression.
"And another thing, if he's in a relationship, is it with a person or a horse?"
"If she's pregnant, is it a human belly or a horse's belly?"
"Ahhh! Cat-eared girl! Look at that cat-eared girl! So cute! I want to pet her!"
"That's a mermaid! It really is a mermaid! Oh my god! She's even more beautiful than in the movies! Quick, take a picture! I really want to take a picture with her!"
Grom, the centaur at the front, had excellent hearing.
Hearing these comments, he stumbled and almost twisted his ankle.
His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The mermaid, Kailin, was carefree and oblivious.
She turned her head and shouted to Alistar, the minotaur beside her:
"Hey Alistair, did you hear that? They're saying you're cool!"
Alistar blushed, then chuckled and scratched his horns.
"Kaylin, don't laugh at me..."
"Hey, don't scratch your head! It's not cool!"
Karin splashed water in the water tank, laughing so hard she was shaking.
Liu Youwan and the other orcs gathered together, and upon hearing the surrounding discussions, they quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
He smiled and said:
"Please don't mind, our residents... well, they're quite hospitable."
"I'm a little excited to meet you all for the first time, and what I'm saying doesn't mean anything by it."
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Grom waved his hand and forced a smile.
"We understand. After all, we were quite surprised when we first saw you Great Xia people."
The procession continued onward.
Colorful signs flashed along both sides of the street.
The musical fountain in the distance changes colors in rhythm with the music.
Thorin walked in the group, his eyes not being enough to see everything.
"This planning...this layout..."
He muttered to himself.
"It's so much better than our mountain town..."
Suddenly, Thorin stopped and sniffed the air hard.
His eyes lit up, and he grabbed the arm of a dwarf craftsman next to him.
"Can you smell it?"
The dwarf, who was drooling over the rotating roast chicken in a shop, was taken aback when he heard this.
"What do you smell? The aroma of roast chicken?"
"Fuck roast chicken!"
Thorin looked completely ecstatic; his mouth was practically watering.
"It's wine! It smells like wine!"
"This taste... ugh... it's definitely strong liquor!"
"Oh no! I didn't bring any alcohol. What am I going to do if I want to try it?!"
He looked around, following the scent of the wine.
His eyes immediately locked onto a sign that read "Li Family Centennial Wine Cellar" not far away.
Inside were various large wine jars, and a customer was filling a bottle with bulk wine.
On the table, there was a pot of yellow wine being warmed.
That rich aroma of wine that fills the whole street comes from here!
Liu Youwan suppressed a laugh and gestured with his chin towards his colleague beside him.
"Go buy some. I doubt these dwarves will be able to continue if we don't give them something to drink."
