"My race originally started from the south, and only later moved north. Now I lead a group of people to return to their homeland." Snorri simply answered the Cathayans' question.
"What about you, who are you and why did you come to the Southland?"
"I am ordering Hu Zhengde, a small comprador of the dragon fleet." The translator first introduced himself, and then he pointed to the man in power with a dark blue dragon pattern painted on his clothes and continued the introduction.
"This is Zou Qilin, the governor of the southern branch of the dragon fleet." Zou Qilin saw the translator looking at him, stood up and bowed his hand to Snorri.
"The Dragon Fleet? Is that the navy of Cathay?" Snorri asked.
"Yes, we are all governors of Weidong provinces and admirals of the dragon fleet, subjects under the command of Yanglong Yinyin. Perhaps you have never heard of the name of Princess Yinyin. She is the descendant of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and the Queen of the Moon.
Daughter, the dragon girl who rules the south."
"Dragon Emperor, Moon Queen, Yang Long..." Snorri repeated several of the names. He needed some time to understand and absorb them.
"I heard about a Binlong Zhaoming, how is he doing now? Is he still in charge of the country?" Snorri thought of the information provided by President Bullock of the Engineers Guild at that time.
"Are you talking about His Majesty Zhaoming, the provincial governor of Weixi Lie, who is in charge of Tongdu Shangyang and guards Changya Road?" Linghu Zhengde showed a surprised look, but he gave himself an explanation in an instant.
"Hahaha, that's right. You Westerners understand that we in Cathay have gone through the Longtooth Road, and you should know that His Highness Zhaoming should do the same. He is still the Lord of Shangyang. Although our king and father have transformed into human beings and walked the world,
His true body is still the immortal true dragon."
Snorri could feel Linghu Zhengde's respect for the dragon gods. As rulers, they should be widely loved by the people, at least their troops are quite loyal.
"Binlong, Yanglong, are there other dragons besides these two?" Snorri asked next. He remembered that President Bullock also mentioned another name.
"Always visible in front of people, those who control the four directions are the governor of the northern provinces of Wei, the sentry guard of Changyuan, Biaolong - Miaoying; the governor of the southern provinces of Wei and the Tiantian Mountains, Zhulong - Liqiu; the governor of the central provinces
He is also the prime minister, Bilong, Yuan Bo, and others." Linghu Zhengde had great enthusiasm for Longzi and Longsun, and he introduced it enthusiastically.
"Linghu, don't talk too much! Let's ask him why he's here!" Before he finished speaking, Zou Qilin interrupted his subordinates. He spoke in Sinian dialect. Snorri could understand it, but he pretended to do so at this time.
It never hurts to not understand.
"Ah, you just said that it is a good thing that you have returned to your hometown. Congratulations!" Linghu Zhengde quickly changed the subject. "But what brought you here? It's much farther away from the mountains.
distance."
"I came here to sign some trade agreements with Lord Atik. Win-win cooperation and exchange of needs can speed up development. I heard the skinks discussing that there are strangers here, so I stopped by to take a look." Of course Snorri would not.
Saying that he came here specifically for the people of Cathay, he gave a watertight reply.
"Where are you from? Karak-a-Karaz, Karak-Kaderin or Karak-Var?" Linghu asked as he took a scrawled hand-drawn map and looked at it.
"This is Karaz-a-Karak, the Eternal Peak, the capital of the Kingdom of the Mountains. I am Draz, the son of the Lord of the Mountains." Snorri corrected him. Many humans in the empire have dwarf city names.
It's not easy to call it, let alone the Cathay people. In order to facilitate communication, many tribesmen will use common language names to refer to their cities.
"Oh, then, do you still have contact with there?" Linghu Zhengde looked very excited.
"Of course, we have two caravan trips every month!" Snorri gave an affirmative answer.
"They came from the end of the Tusk Road! They are still closely connected there!" the translator turned to report.
"Very good!" Zou Qilin patted the armrest of the chair, trying to control his joy. "The products here are not very rich, and four-legged snakes are not allowed to wear clothes, so they roam the world naked. We have been suffering from a long-term shortfall in performance.
That’s it!”
Then Linghu Zhengde warmly invited Snorri to stay overnight in the Bazaar, and prepared some oriental delicacies for him and his subordinates. Looking at the chopsticks in his hand and the stir-fried vegetables on the plate, Snorri would express
All the abnormalities are attributed to "not being used to eating".
The guards did not see through the reason behind the Cathayans' enthusiasm, and attributed it all to their wealth and hospitality. The high-strength distilled liquor from the East was much more potent than the lizard people's fermented fruit wine, and they were soon drunk on the ground.
.
"Huh, I didn't expect that I would have to squat on the wall for one more day!" Snorri had something on his mind and didn't drink much. He took out the earthly barrier and wiped it gently. The runes on it were triggered, and he disappeared in the eyes of outsiders.
His body shape was reduced, his movements were silent and silent.
Snorri easily bypassed several guards. These Cathay soldiers were wearing armor - made of iron armor leaves connected with leather strips or nails. But based on this alone, Snorri could not determine any more information.
The Warhammer world is not very good at applying the history of its previous life.
"This trade route must be controlled by us!!"
Snorri heard Zou Qilin's voice. It was obvious that this governor was not only a caravan leader, he was also a very powerful general.
"That's natural! Our caravan is going to turn around this time!"
"Back then, Tu'an chose this place, but what happened? It's not as safe as it is, but he only made so little! I won't even mention the one that went to Nippon, the caravan that went to Indy made much more!"
"Thousands of years ago, when Lahmia was still there, I don't know how much money I made from selling muskets! It is said that the indigenous people there pawned the entire city-state for the money they owed and it was not enough to pay back! Why is it gone now?"
The managers of the caravan also drank a lot of wine, and they gathered together to discuss. Snorri quickly thought about it. The Cathayans wanted to contact the old world through him, so why didn't he want to cooperate with Cathayans?
What about going online? But once you know their thoughts, you can take the initiative.
"It's a pity. I still have too little information. I don't know what status these people have and what price they can offer." Snorri felt a little regretful and silently walked back to his guest room.
"Five silks, fifty lotuses or... my God, how are they doing this trade?" Early the next morning, Snorri was wandering around the market.
Since the lizard people do not use precious metals as currency, this Bazaar is still in the barter stage. He cannot accurately calculate the price of Cathay's goods because his trade with the lizard people is also based on barter.
