My Swap Life Game

Chapter 124 A Gift from Earth

"I heard from Anne that the Duke wants to rebuild the outpost city?"

Lu Xing asked.

"good."

The Duke nodded. "The orcs are on the other side of the mountains. As long as they cross the mountains, they can enter the human world unimpeded. There are not many places suitable for defense in the three northern provinces. The orcs can rush to the heart of the empire and plunder in half a month!"

"And vice versa, humans do the same to orcs."

"If we can guard the entrance to the mountain, the Empire will have a sharp blade that can stab the orcs at any time."

"The Dragon Mountains have been occupied by orcs. They hide in every cave, under the rock wall, and even on every big tree. As long as humans enter, they will be attacked by orcs! Every summer, we have to send troops to sweep the orcs in the mountains to prevent them from multiplying too much."

Duke Swinton was troubled. "But the recent raids are no longer effective. The orc tribes in the mountains all know that humans will go into the mountains in the summer, so they hide deep in the mountains at that time and only come out after humans leave."

Lu Xing thought about it carefully and said, "There is really no good way except to sweep step by step. I heard that the Snow Mountain God is also widely believed by the orcs?"

The Duke of Swinton laughed but did not answer. His wife also laughed and said, "Although we often fight with orcs, we don't know much about them. However, many people in the North believe in the God of the Snow Mountains, and there is also his church in the city."

Allowing different gods to preach in the same place is a tacit agreement among the gods.

Because Anne's name contains Ms. Weisz, Lu Xing went to learn about her deeds.

The Swinton family was not native to the North, but came from the South. Ms. Weisz and her brother grew up in the North. Relying on her amazing talent, she quickly became a holy-level wizard and supported the Church of Holy Light to build the first church in the North.

It can be said that Ms. Weisz has made an indelible contribution to the fact that the Goddess of Holy Light now has so many believers in the North.

Later, she entered the Northern Mountains and killed the fallen angel dragon Gema, the former god of the snow mountains, and was personally led to the kingdom of God by the Goddess of Holy Light.

After reading it, Lu Xing had a thought: Could Weisz be the reincarnation of an angel?
The book also put forward a speculation that although the God of Snow Mountains did not have a kingdom of God, he might have obtained a ray of divine power from the God of Earth and could firmly control the snow mountains. The canyon connecting humans and orcs might be the canyon formed by him breaking up the mountains at the request of the God of Beasts.

The reward the Snow Mountain God received was complete control of the faith of the orcs in the mountains.

Therefore, the quickest way Lu Xing could think of was for the Goddess of Holy Light to take action and defeat the Snow Mountain God once and for all.

But not surprisingly, this approach didn't work.

"How do you conduct war here?"

Lu Xing continued to ask the Duke of Swinton.

After chatting with him for nearly ten minutes, I got a preliminary understanding of the war in the wizarding world.

"Neither you nor Anne need to worry."

Duke Swinton said in a gentle voice: "Orc invasions are common. There are countless brave warriors in the North who can resist the threat from the savage ice field!"

Across the mountains is the grassland where the orcs live. In winter, it will be covered with snow, making it difficult for humans to survive.

Lu Xing smiled and said, "Although many things on Earth cannot be used, perhaps the steam engine can bring some changes to the current situation!"

"You mean the steam train?"

The Duke laughed, "Annie happily took me to her toy house last night. I took a look and it was the design that you improved upon, Lu Xing. Using magic to boil water and then drive the long iron car forward, if you ask me to evaluate it, it seems stupid and funny, but if you think about it carefully, it feels very whimsical and genius!"

“It’s crazy.”

He added: "I don't know if it's worth using magic crystals to boil water, but judging by Annie's little toy train, it runs really well!"

Madam said: “This place is five hundred miles away from Andokok Fortress. If a railway can be built to connect it, the transportation of materials will be much more convenient.

But there are still many difficulties to be solved in running a steam train on this track. I want to let Annie give it a try, but I am worried that she may not be careful enough in thinking about things. I would like to ask Mr. Lu Xing to help her more when we exchange with each other. "

"Of course, I'll help Annie."

Lu Xing agreed.

"Then I feel relieved." The lady smiled, looked at her husband and gave him a signal.

The Duke of Swinton reacted and asked Lu Xing, "What is Anne doing now?"

"Let me ask."

Lu Xing called out to Annie in his heart, and after a while, he replied, "Annie is taking my class in the classroom. Well, I will take her class later."

"I hope she won't embarrass Mr. Lu Xing." The Duke smiled.

"No, Annie is doing great!"

"Ah."

After a moment of silence, the Duke of Swinton asked, "Mr. Lu Xing, after exchanging souls with her these days, you have also gotten to know Anne better. My wife has also told you about her engagement with Anne, so let me ask you directly, do you like my daughter?"

Behind Lu Xing, Catherine, who had been standing as a maid, raised her head and glanced at him.

"Annie is so pretty and cute, it's hard not to like her."

Answering the question from his future father-in-law, Lu Xing was actually a little nervous, and continued: "To be honest, I like Annie too, but we have too little time together to understand each other..."

"Don't worry about that!"

The Duke of Swinton smiled and pointed at his wife and said, "Before I got engaged to Anne's mother, we only met three times. We got engaged because we liked each other. Even though you and Anne have never met, you can talk to each other in your hearts and understand each other better than we did at the beginning!"

Lu Xing saw that the Duke was indeed a traditionalist, believing that love would naturally arise as long as they got married. "Let me ask you another question, Mr. Lu Xing. When can you come to Rowans City? Or, you can take Anne away, but please let Anne come back."

He smiled and said, "Forgive me for being so long-winded, but when you get married, you have to actually meet each other!"

Lu Xing thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, it could be a month, or half a year, but it won't be more than a year!"

"That's it!"

The Duke smiled and said, "Annie doesn't want to get married so soon. She will go to Imperial Capital College in the spring of next year and graduate in three years. She can get married then. Mr. Lu Xing should be able to wait, right?"

"Can wait!"

"Well, last question then."

He paused.

"Excuse me."

Lu Xing waited for an answer.

The Duke of Swinton smiled and said, "Would you like to marry Anne? Take care of her and tolerate her for the rest of your life, accompany her in happiness and worries, and become a loving couple with her!"

Lu Xing was very excited. It was the honor of his life to marry a noble lady like Anne!
"I haven't finished talking yet."

The lady rolled her eyes at her husband and smiled at Lu Xing, "This sentence still does not mean the final engagement. Anne still needs to go to the church to pray to the goddess. At the same time, she also needs the consent of your family."

"I know." Lu Xing said.

"I forgot." The Duke smiled and said to him, "I will say what I said just now when you and Anne are officially engaged. Today I will only tell you my decision: I agree to Anne's marriage with you!"

Lu Xing was overjoyed and said solemnly: "I will spend my whole life taking good care of Annie, please rest assured!"

"I believe in your character, Lu Xing." The lady said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xing remembered something and said quickly, "I have some gifts for the Duke and Lady, but I forgot about it just now."

"Oh, what's the gift?"

"Just some common things on Earth."

Lu Xing raised his hand and pointed to the other end of the wide dining table amid the puzzled looks of the people around him.

A gift box suddenly appeared there.

"Is this magic? We didn't feel any magical fluctuations!"

Both the Duke and Duchess were surprised.

Lu Xing said: "This is not magic, it is a way for me to store things."

He stood up and prepared to take the gift box.

"Please sit down, let me do it." Catherine walked over. She was wearing a maid's skirt and was a head taller than Anne. She walked over with her long legs, picked up the gift box with brisk movements, and placed it in front of Lu Xing and opened it.

There were a bunch of stuff in it, some sealed cups with ice water, but there were a lot more things they had never seen before.

"It's all food!"

Lu Xing smiled and said, "I didn't know the Duke was back, so I just bought some food for Madam to taste, so that Annie can also eat it when she comes back."

"Is this tea from Earth?" Although he couldn't understand the language, the Duke of Swinton recognized what was in the cup.

"We call it milk tea. It is made with a very complicated process and has a very unique taste. You and your wife can try it."

With the blessing of modern industry, the things added by milk tea shops are not simple. Even if the magic world has the ability to make them, it cannot mass-produce them.

"What about this? Put the food in it?" The lady picked up a food bag.

"Yes, these are called potato chips. These are snacks that you can enjoy during afternoon tea!"

"Oh? Then I'll invite some ladies to come and taste it together this afternoon!"

While she was still talking, the Duke of Swinton had already inserted the tube into the cup of milk tea, tried a sip, and exclaimed: "The taste is indeed unique, different from what I usually drink. No wonder Anne was bragging last night that she ate a lot of good things on Earth!"

Everyone around laughed.

While the two were trying the food, Lu Xing took out his cell phone from the inventory and took a look. Sure enough, the phone did not turn on.

"this is……?"

"It's called a mobile phone. Annie used it on Earth. It allows people to easily contact people thousands of miles away."

"Oh!! I remember, Annie mentioned it."

Duke Swinton was very excited. He asked Lu Xing for his phone, tried to fiddle with it, and asked some questions. Finally, he sighed and said, "The alchemy of the Earth is really magical. It can make good things that everyone can afford! It's a pity that the alchemy of the Earth can't be used here."

Lu Xing smiled and said, "In fact, many magics are also very magical in the eyes of Earthlings."

For example, there are life-related magics such as healing and resurrection magic, earth magic that can quickly change the terrain, sky magic that can tear apart space for teleportation, and so on.
