Summon skeleton soldiers at the beginning

Chapter 42

"Mr. Guo Teng, are you really not from Dongguo?"

Nora asked cautiously. She tried not to look at Guo Teng's expression, but she couldn't help but look at Guo Teng's face.

"Me? I'm not from Dongguo, I'm from country Z."

Guo Teng was very puzzled, why Nora also asked such a question, after all, Alia also asked this question last night.

"Is this a strange thing? You don't seem to have a very good attitude towards the people of Dongguo."

Guo Teng tried his best to put it mildly, but in fact, as long as his eyes are not blind, it can be seen that these people don't have a good impression of the Dongguo people as a whole.

"Here, let's talk as we walk."

The pleated skirt and blue vest that Nora is wearing today, combined with her orange shawl hair, looks very energetic.

"How should I say it?"

Nora looked a little troubled. She nodded with her fingers and thought hard about where to start.

"Let's talk first."

Nora thought of something, clapped her hands and said to Guo Teng.

"In 1845 of the Gregorian calendar, Instan carried out friendly exchanges with the Eastern Kingdom that lasted for a hundred years and brought about huge changes in life in the Eastern Kingdom."

"The feudal monarchy of the Eastern Kingdom that lasted for thousands of years was overthrown, and the Eastern Kingdom became a parliamentary state."

"Science and steam power entered Dongguo, which provided great development for Dongguo's social progress."

"Since then, the people of Dongguo have got rid of poverty, and they ushered in freedom."

"Because of steam power, exchanges between the worlds have become more frequent, and the people of the Eastern Kingdom have gradually integrated into the big family of the world."

"But there are too many people in the East, and their wages are much lower than those in Instein and the West."

"So many people in the Western Continent discriminate against people from the East and even hate them."

Nora briefly explained.

"For specific situations, you can go to the library to check the books."

"I see."

Guo Teng nodded, planning to go back to find these books and read them at night.

"I always feel like there's something wrong with it."

Guo Teng couldn't help but hold his chin and think.

Ordinary industrialization process?It's not like that.

"And it's 1845 in the Gregorian calendar? What Joey said at that time seems to be true."

"Actually, there is another more important reason. The weirdness has also appeared in the Eastern Kingdom."

"This is also the reason for the flow of Dongguo people."

Nora patted her head and said to Guo Teng.

"weird?"

"I don't think weirdness is that powerful, Nora."

Guo Teng was about to get into the carriage stopped by Nora.

"People from the East? Sorry, miss, my carriage does not accept people from the East."

said the coachman to Nora.

The smile on Nora's face froze for a moment, and then became very embarrassed.

She threw down two coins and dragged Guo Teng to a distance.

"Will every Dongguo person be treated like this?"

Guo Teng asked Nora in displeasure.

Nora smirked at Guo Teng with erratic eyes.

"Actually, there are kind-hearted people."

"Ah, I forgot this!"

Nora suddenly thought of something, she stretched out her hand and patted her head, and playfully stuck out her tongue at Guo Teng.

"This is the symbol of the Church of Truth. With this, they will not embarrass you."

Noila took out a pen-like pin from her bag and pinned it on Guo Teng’s chest.

"Okay, so handsome!"

Nora helped Guo Teng straighten his clothes and said with a smile.

Guo Teng blushed a little when he was told.

I still have a bit of a B number in my heart about what he looks like.

"Shall we walk slowly? It only takes half an hour to walk to the nearest bath, let's enjoy the scenery along the way."

Nora suggested to Guo Teng.

"Ah."

Guo Teng agreed, and followed Nora slowly along the river.

"This is the Terra River. Along the river you can directly reach the port of Pichitz, where people can sail to any country in the world by boat."

Nora took Guo Teng for a slow walk beside the river.

Seeing the pen emblems on the chests of Nora and Guo Teng, passers-by stopped and bowed their heads in salute.

"Why does that Dongguo man have the emblem of the Church of Truth? It's incredible!"

"I'm also very surprised, but next to him is Miss Nora of Flandre. He should not be from the Eastern Kingdom. Didn't the Fuying people announce their separation from the Eastern Kingdom?"

"But the Fuying people still have no protection after leaving the Eastern Kingdom. Is this any different from the Eastern Kingdom people? Weirdness is still raging in the Eastern Kingdom."

The discussion in the distance aroused Guo Teng's thoughts.

He felt that the situation in Dongguo must not be as simple as Nora said.

"What's the matter with you, Mr. Guo?"

Nora stopped in front of Guo Teng. Guo Teng, who was thinking with his head down, braked quickly to avoid being hit by facial cleanser.

"Well, nothing."

Guo Teng shook his head, but did not speak.

The atmosphere along the way was very awkward, Guo Teng kept his head down and thought until he came outside the bathing place.

"Here we are, Mr. Guo."

Nora came with Guo Teng outside a three-story building.

"Are you sure this place is a bathhouse, Nora?"

Guo Teng looked suspiciously at this building, which looked more like a hotel than a bathhouse.

The three-dimensional image scanned by the adjutant dispelled Guo Teng's suspicion.

"Let's go in."

Nora pulled Guo Teng, and after getting the number plate at the front desk, she led Guo Teng to the door of a room.

"The baths here are all single rooms. The masseur has already booked it for you, and he will come over later."

"I was soaking alone in the bathing place opposite, and I haven't taken a bath for a long time."

Nuo stretched her waist and bulged the front of her body.

"If you can't find me after washing, you can wait for me in the rest area in the lobby, but don't leave alone first, okay?"

Nora discussed with Guo Teng.

"Ok."

Guo Teng nodded, pushed the door open and entered.

The 400-square-meter large room was displayed in front of Guo Teng, which made Guo Teng click his tongue constantly.

"This swimming pool must be 300 square meters."

"The office rented by the company in the past didn't have such a big space!"

Guo Teng couldn't help thinking.

"By the way, here is a change of clothes for you, just throw the one on your body aside."

"Then I won't bother you, I wish you a nice day."

Nora came in, put the clothes aside, then picked up the sign behind the door, and went out.

"So people here are used to killing the carbine?"

After Guo Teng was sure that Nora would not come back, he began to undress.

“The temperature is quite good!”

"After time travelling, I ate and slept in the open, starved half to death, and finally realized the wonderful life!"

Guo Teng sighed while lying in the bath.

Looking back on what he has experienced these past few days, Guo Teng feels that life is both a dream and an illusion.

"Excuse me, sir, can I come in?"

A voice with Hu Jian's accent came from the door.

"come in."

Guo Teng quickly put the towel on his lap.

The door was pushed open, and a muscular old man with an old complexion came over.

"It turns out that he is a nobleman of our family. He is really a rare visitor."

The old man bent over and said respectfully beside Guo Teng.

"Ah."

Guo Teng didn't know what the old man meant, so he dealt with it next to him.

"I have been here at the Livia bathing place for ten years, and I have never seen a person from the East take a bath in the Rose Hall. Your honor, you have brought glory to us people from the East!"

The old man rinsed it with water on the mat beside him, and said to Guo Teng with a smile.

However, Guo Teng never understood that taking a bath in a private room can win glory.

"What's the old man's name?"

Guo Teng wanted to ask the old man some things, so he asked his name first, so that it would be convenient for chatting.

"The little one's surname is Chen, and his name is Shun."

"Come on, my lord, lie down here."

The old man asked Guo Teng to lie down on the cleaned mat.

"My name is Guo Teng. Uncle Chen, just call me Xiao Guo."

Guo Teng lay on the mat and said.

"Then the old man has the audacity to call you Mr. Guo. You can just call me old man Chen."

Uncle Chen dropped the bath towel that he had just unwrapped on the floor.

"Wait a minute, my lord, I'll get you a new one."

Uncle Chen wanted to leave with the bath towel that fell on the tiles, but Guo Teng stopped him.

"It's okay, Uncle Chen, I'm not such a delicate person, this is fine, there's no need to change it."

Uncle Chen had a tense expression on his face, and his hands were submissive, he stayed where he was and didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, Uncle Chen, just rub it."

"It's fine to use a little force. I haven't taken a good bath for more than ten days."

Guo Teng said casually lying on the mat.

Chen Bo was nervous at first, but gradually relaxed later.

"Where is your ancestral home, Uncle Chen?"

Guo Teng asked casually while lying on the mat.

"My ancestral home is Hu Jian."

Uncle Chen didn't slack off, rubbing Guo Teng's back vigorously.

"How many years have you been here, have you ever gone back?"

Guo Teng felt comfortable after being rubbed, and asked lazily while lying on the mat.

"I was sold here 40 years ago. If I go back, I think there is no hope in this life."

"I don't want to go back either."

Uncle Chen explained that the movement of rubbing his back also slowed down.

"My lord, you didn't grow up in Dongzhou, right?"

Uncle Chen tried again, rubbing Guo Teng's back back and forth.

"My family moved to Nagrand 20 years ago, and I don't remember many things about Dongzhou."

Guo Teng continued following Uncle Chen's words.

"It's ok to move away, ok."

Uncle Chen said softly, scooped up hot water, and washed the dirt off Guo Teng's body.

Just as Guo Teng wanted to ask how Dongzhou is doing now, he realized that if he asked that question, the time would definitely be wrong, so he changed the phrase.

"I don't know what's going on in Dongzhou now, I want to go back and have a look."

Guo Teng uttered lies casually and continued to spread information.

"What else can I do? I still look like that. The monsters and ghosts of the West, the strong ships and guns of the Westerners, and the flattery of the puppet court. There is nothing to go back."

Uncle Chen's voice dropped, and he stopped rubbing his back with his hands.

"My lord, since you have such a good life in Nagrand, don't go back and suffer, what are you going back for?"

Chen Bo persuaded, and started rubbing again.

"That's my hometown after all."

Guo Teng continued to pretend to be false, to find out more information.

"Home, huh."

Uncle Chen stopped talking and buried his head in rubbing his back.

"Fuck, I haven't gone through professional cross-examination training, what should I do if this set of words is dead!"

Guo Teng lay on the mat and was anxious.

"By the way, these foreigners now look down on us Easterners more and more."

Guo Teng suddenly thought of something to say and continued.

"Isn't that right? Liang Ting was defeated in one year, and hundreds of schools were unconvinced and resisted for 200 years, but what happened, the Westerners turned around, let's see if we can not despise it."

"And Dongzhou, alas."

Uncle Chen's words revealed deep resentment, but more of it came from the helplessness in his bones.
