Chapter 808 Nobles
Thank you readers!
For the people in Black Rock City, it was like they all had a big dream. When they woke up, the entire world had changed significantly.
For most of them, it was like going home to sleep at night and waking up naturally the next day. The only difference was that their bodies felt sluggish after waking up.
Lu Yu stopped a passerby and asked, “How long have you been awake?”
The man looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled expression. “Who are you?”
“We are from this world. We are adventurers who came here by accident.”
The man sized up Lu Yu and Han Xuefei. After realizing it was the case, he nodded calmly and accepted it.
“We’ve been awake for a few days and are still recovering. It’s just that we don’t know how long we’ve been asleep.”
“Who made you fall into a deep sleep?”
The man thought momentarily and replied, “Someone called Duke Nightmare. He’s mighty, but we haven’t seen what he looks like.”
“I see. Thank you. By the way, I also want to ask, do you know the name Claine?”
Hearing this, the man’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “Lord Claine, of course, I know him. Black Rock City is under his rule.”
“What? This is Lord Claine’s territory?”
Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei, his eyes full of surprise. He was just testing the waters, as he felt the word “Claine” from Claine Crystal was similar to a person’s name.
“Where is Lord Claine?” Lu Yu continued to ask.
“He’s still sleeping. There’s a crystal palace in the center of Black Rock City, and he’s there.”
With that, the passerby pointed towards the city center.
“Look, it’s that palace.”
Lu Yu could vaguely see a purple cone through the layers of buildings, realizing the crystal palace was shaped like a pyramid.
“Do you know when he will wake up?”
“I don’t know, but it won’t happen anytime soon. The stronger cultivators in the Empire will choose to awaken when they want to. On the other hand, people like us will wake up automatically as if we have set an alarm clock.”
“Alright, thank you.”
After Lu Yu finished speaking, the man went back to his work.
“I think the current headquarters of the Truth Department is probably in there.”
Lu Yu frowned slightly. “Judging from the current situation, the Truth Department has the Death Spirit Dragon, Walter, and a strong cultivator with an elemental body of the lightning element. Just them alone is enough to give us a headache.”
“What should we do next? Record the situation here and bring it back to the military?”
Lu Yu rubbed his chin and said, “I think that’s a good idea. Let’s take a photo of our surroundings with your phone.”
“Also, we’ll stay here for a while and see if the Truth Department will take any action.”
Han Xuefei frowned worriedly and asked, “Since Hu Yankong and the others won’t return on time, they will most likely guess their new headquarters’ location has been exposed. At that time, they will attack and take back our mine.”
Lu Yu nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Let’s wait here for the time being. If they make a move, we’ll wait for an opportunity to make a move. ”
Han Xuefei nodded and looked around. Looking at the old houses, she couldn’t help but frown.
“The living environment here could be better. It’s too old-looking.”
“Let’s take a look ahead. This city is not small, so I’m sure some nobles will be here.”
The two of them continued to walk along the street, occasionally looking at the passersby around them.
Soon, Lu Yu saw a large manor. It was a building that looked like a church, with a few villas around it. Obviously, the people living here were not peasants and must have been the nobles of Black Rock City.
Two figures in armor stood at the gate of the manor.
Before Lu Yu and Han Xuefei could walk over, they saw two other people walking out of the manor.
Both of them were women in white dresses. They had fair skin and golden hair as they hurriedly walked out.
“Hurry up and find a doctor. Otherwise, Helen won’t last half a day.”
“I’ve forgotten which street the doctor lives on; I guess I’ll have to ask a passerby.”
As soon as they left the entrance, they bumped into Lu Yu and Han Xuefei, who were walking on the street.
When the two of them saw Lu Yu and Han Xuefei, they looked at them curiously.
“Sir, lady, I see that your attire differs from ours. You shouldn’t be citizens of the Ember Empire, right?”
One of them walked forward and spoke to Lu Yu.
The language they spoke was similar to the language of the Lionheart Empire. Lu Yu had learned it in high school, so he could roughly understand what they were saying.
“We’re adventurers and just happened to be here.”
“I’m Lu Yu, and she’s Han Xuefei.”
The woman nodded slightly and smiled, saying, “My name is Zena, and we are from the Hook family. Princess Helen of our family becomes critically ill after she wakes up. Can you help us?”
As they spoke, they walked forward and looked at Lu Yu with pleading eyes.
“Don’t you have any medication in such a wealthy family?” Lu Yu asked curiously.
“The cellar where we stored our things was destroyed. All our supplies were ruined, so we could only buy more.”
Han Xuefei looked at Lu Yu and suggested, “Let’s help them. Maybe they can find a good place for us to stay.”
“Zena, bring us in. We have a lot of medicine on us.”
Hearing this, the woman named Zena revealed a happy expression. She turned around, walked into the manor, and looked back. “Follow us; she’s inside…”
Lu Yu and Han Xuefei followed her into the white building that looked like a church.
In the middle of the church was a table with someone lying quietly. Several members of the Hook family stood around her, all looking at Helen with worry.
“Dad, Mom, I brought someone with me. He can provide us with the medicine we need!”
Zena quickly ran over and said to the two elderly people, “He’s the one, and his name is Lu Yu. He is an explorer from this era.”
At that moment, the family members looked over. When they saw Lu Yu, they all smiled.
“Thank you for helping us. Thank you so much.”
“If Helen comes back to life, you will be the benefactor of our family.”
The two elders looked at Lu Yu gratefully.
Lu Yu walked toward the table and took out his pocket watch. His pocket watch could store an unlimited number of items, and he could not even count how many potions were in it.
