Chapter 008: The Normans

He did not linger and left here quickly

He can change his skin color using alchemy, but altering his height is absolutely out of the question. This is because any change in height during a battle could trigger a chain reaction that would be fatal. His body's instinctive response is based on his original height; once altered, he might feel as though he has evaded an attack when, in reality, he has not.

This should be the currency circulated among the Normans

The sub-dragons, descendants of the Dragon City, have heads that resemble large lizards. They are oviparous, possess vertical pupils, and are robust and tall, approximately 2.2 meters in height. Their skin colors vary, and their fingers have sharp claws. They have tails that are 1 meter long and walk upright. This race is a remnant left behind by the chaotic activities of the dragons. A portion of the sub-dragons' bloodline has mingled with that of the lizardmen, making the two races look quite similar and easily confused. Both races use the dragon language.

The indigenous people are tall, and Biji is nearly 20 centimeters taller than Stephen

Other races also exist, with a small number exhibiting beast-like characteristics. The Normans refer to them as 'mixed-blood hybrids,' displaying a very severe exclusivity.

So much so that Stephen Zhou felt a flicker of anger within, yet he ultimately restrained himself. He did not flaunt his wealth, as this would only make these paranoid Normans more likely to perceive him as a thief. From their initial interaction, he sensed that the Normans were quite insular and harbored a certain degree of discrimination against other races

The peculiar aura emanating from Stephen Zhou made Brigitte feel a twinge of unease. It is rumored that those ascetics from the East were able to slay the malevolent beast known as 'Goror' with their bare hands, a ferocious creature that had ravaged the southern region for over a century, causing the Highlanders immense suffering and even forcing them to migrate to the lower reaches of the Tannis River.

The land is planted with grass-like plants, resembling a hybrid of corn and sorghum. The vegetable variety is singular, appearing similar to lettuce. In areas with irrigation ditches, crops resembling oats are cultivated, though it is unclear whether they are indigenous to this world or brought from elsewhere. Given that this world has other outsiders, it is likely that the crops share many similarities. The human village resembles a stockade, surrounded by a fence made of logs, with watchtowers, arrow towers, and alarm bells. It can be preliminarily assessed that their living environment is dangerous, necessitating alarm bells to guard against enemies.

There are two styles of coins, one resembling a silver coin, and the other featuring an ear of wheat on the front and the Feathered Serpent on the back

It is impossible for the indigenous people to imprint creatures they have never seen on coins. The feathered serpent, as a divine being, is not commonly found in the multiverse. Upon seeing these coins, he began to suspect whether such beings also exist in this world

It is a pleasure to meet you

After relinquishing her murderous intent, significant changes appeared in Beatrice. Her azure vertical pupils began to dilate, and soon the pupils transformed into an oval shape. If not observed closely, the difference from a human would not seem substantial.

The cold wind blows

Stephen Zhou let out a sigh of relief as he watched the other party leave, murmuring to himself: "Professional level exceeds 15, agility system, specializing in assassin class, top-notch neural reaction speed, innate attributes should be quite excellent"

Upon hearing news about Linfeng City, Stephen Zhou's eyes lit up, and he immediately prepared to set off for this city

This situation improved somewhat as we approached the town

The Feathered Serpent in indigenous beliefs represents abundance and rain, with a head resembling that of a Chinese dragon and a serpent body adorned with a pair of wings. The second type of gold coin is likely from another region, crafted with exceptional artistry, containing approximately 90% gold content. Each gold coin is nearly identical in quality and weight, indicating that this world possesses a mature monetary system

In the multiverse, the best beings for Stephen Zhou to interact with would likely be dwarves, as discussing spirits and mining with them can easily lead to friendship

This woman appears to be very dangerous at first glance, and her final words carry a subtle hint of threat

After the Normans conquered Dragon City, they incorporated the Aylon people into their territory

This hostility is very evident

The racial characteristics are quite similar, tall, fair-skinned, with aquiline noses, generally exceeding 1.8 meters in height, and some surpassing 2 meters. Due to ancestral lineage, it is possible that the forebears of the Normans interbred with giants

There are no large gold mines here, but many silver mines are associated with gold deposits

He is preparing to steal the mine

On the road, Stephen Zhou continuously observed the currency of this world. The copper coins were rough, circular with a hole in the center, and had green copper rust on them. The silver coins were somewhat more refined in design, featuring a sparkling snowflake emblem on the front, with a towering iceberg to the north.

What surprised Stephen Zhou even more was that the other party claimed to have seen humans from the "Crescent Moon," which is the third moon, and referred to them as "the ancestors of the East, the sages of the desert." Such a situation is also rare in the multiverse, where a planet is a terrestrial planet suitable for life, and surprisingly, its satellite also has human inhabitants.

Indeed, the decision to seek out the indigenous people was undoubtedly correct, as he discovered that the great nobles of Linfeng City held control over numerous copper, iron, and silver mines

Although it was merely a brief exchange, the amount of information contained was substantial

She lightly leaped onto a branch about ten meters high and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye

They are filled with vigilance towards outsiders, and even before Stephen Zhou could approach the village, armed guards had already come to expel him

The gold coin surprisingly bears the image of the Feathered Serpent

The population of the entire town is around 30,000, with a town guard consisting of 300 members. The lord is a Norman noble, and the local specialty is medicinal herbs. Due to its proximity to the mineral-rich city of Frostwind, it has become an important transit station, with merchant caravans coming and going almost incessantly

From Brigitte, he learned that the races of this world were quite different from his own, so to avoid trouble, he made slight alterations to his appearance. A primary change was to his skin color, just a little disguise to appear as a short Norman.

Walking south through a dense forest, one arrives at the farmland

Brigitte had to abandon the idea of silencing others, as her actions would soon be noticed by others. The most important thing at present was to leave the territory of the Normans. Those Normans, who considered themselves superior, would surely go mad if they knew she had taken the Emerald Star, and at that point, escaping would not be so easy.

On the surface, Stephen Zhou does not appear strong or tall, yet he exudes a sense of danger.

Entering the town was not difficult. Stephen Zhou cleaned himself up a bit and disguised himself as a hunter from the wilderness, carrying a slain gray wolf in his hands. The town guards did not make things too difficult for him, only extorting an additional two copper coins as an entry fee. Everything here was quite similar to the indigenous civilizations Stephen Zhou had encountered in the past, with the only difference being a slightly greater diversity of races.

What an impressive female creature

At the very bottom of the pouch, there is a type of silver coin, which features an engraving of a dragon. In light of what the previously mentioned dangerous female said, it is likely currency used in a place called 'Dragon City.' Preliminary assessments suggest that the power dynamics in this world are fragmented; typically, if a strong empire emerges, the unification of currency becomes inevitable. However, these copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins are nearly identical in weight, purity, and size, indicating that this world possesses a standardized system of measurement. Furthermore, there is a consistency in the production of currency, which must be governed by some form of supernatural entity; otherwise, achieving uniformity in the size of currency would be quite challenging.

Stephen Zhou has traveled through many worlds, but it is the first time he has encountered someone being called a "bitch" who proudly claims that even if she is a "bitch," she is still the most beautiful "bitch" in the world

The dwarves in this world are approximately 1.6 meters tall, resembling hill dwarves, with thick beards and arms as thick as a human's thigh. They serve as guards for the merchant caravans and are gathered inside the only hotel in the town

If we set aside the issue of height, these Normans are quite similar to the giants that Stephen Zhou first encountered

Here remains Stephen Zhou, along with a deceased Norman.

The largest gold mine in the Northern Territory is located in Long City, which is somewhat far from here. Moreover, it seems that Long City has recently fallen into turmoil due to dissatisfaction with the oppression of the Normans. A faction of the Aylon nobility has secretly incited a rebellion among the lizardmen in the swamps. Many merchants near the tavern are discussing how to bypass Long City to reach the southern regions

After a preliminary encounter, Stephen Zhou gained a much deeper understanding of this world

Because Stephen Zhou saw some people of similar height, these humans had bluish skin and were the Highlanders from the southern region. They are known as the blue-blooded people, with their blood appearing light blue for certain reasons, yet they remain a branch of humanity. The blue-blooded Highlanders are active merchants in many places, and they have a close relationship with the dwarves. Stephen Zhou noticed the bearded dwarves within the merchant caravan.

Could it be that the three moons in the sky are all the same

Brigitte took away the most valuable item from the other party, and Stephen Zhou thought for a moment before approaching the corpse to touch it. The deceased Norman had a robust skeleton, and due to the environmental conditions of this planet, their physical quality was not low. Essentially, their human characteristics were quite similar, with the distinction being a trace of peculiar power within their bloodline. Stephen Zhou currently lacked an alchemical laboratory and was unable to conduct any analysis or testing. The most valuable item should be the 'Emerald Star' that Brigitte took away. Stephen Zhou touched the corpse and only took the coins that Brigitte had not touched, as other items had obvious characteristics that could easily attract unnecessary trouble.

After the Normans conquered Northumbria, they incorporated it into their territory

These Normans were very exclusive, referring to Stephen Zhou as a savage, an exile, and a person from outside their realm. They prohibited him from approaching the village, believing that he might steal or harm their children

Leave here! Savage!

Beatrice bent down and placed her hand on her chest in a graceful and beautiful gesture, resembling a well-educated noble socialite. She slowly said: "The ancestors from the East hope that you can keep everything you have just seen a secret! I believe you would not want to be involved in any unnecessary disputes, would you?"

Moreover, it is quite shameless

Stephen Zhou looked up at the three moons in the sky and the strange purple ring. If someone really came to this planet from the third moon, then this world was not so simple after all

Forest Guardians, descendants of humans and tree spirits, are half-elves. They are slender and tall, approximately 1.9 meters in height, with rough skin that can become as tough as tree bark. Most have brown skin, slightly pointed ears, and otherwise resemble humans. They predominantly do not reside in towns but build tree houses in the forest. They are capable of using the language of beasts
