Chapter 5: An Unexpected Discovery
"Do you speak our language?!" Master Kichibo asked in surprise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Of course, your honorable sir. For businessmen doing business in a foreign country, mastering the local language is a must. Demacia Noxus said with some smugness. Although his Japanese is very lame, and you have to think about it yourself to roughly guess what the other person means, but in this era without the Internet, mastering a foreign language is a very, very shocking thing.
He was stunned for a while, as if he was digesting this shocking fact, and then Master Ji came to his senses and asked slowly, "I heard that you have iron cannons here?!" ”
Hearing Master Ji's words, Demacia Noxaston's eyes lit up when he looked at Master Ji, and that kind of look, no matter how he looked, seemed to be watching a big fat sheep hurrying his feet, which made Master Ji very uncomfortable. And just when Master Ji couldn't help but want to ask again, Demacia Noxus had already spoken, "Oh~~ Venerable Samurai! You're really asking the right person, in the entire Kai Town, there are only small shops that sell iron cannons! These are all epoch-making weapons that have been painstakingly transported from Europa, thousands of miles away......" Demacia kept boasting, and Master Ji's eyes brightened when he heard it, but Overlord Pill was full of black lines.
Master Ji was born in a samurai family, and they were very young, so they had never encountered this situation at all, but Bawangmaru lived for more than 30 years in his previous life, and this kind of scene of Wang Po selling melons and boasting is not uncommon. So, he unceremoniously interrupted Demacia Noxus.
"Okay, don't talk about this boring nonsense, whether the thing is good or not, we'll see if it's good. And ......," Overlord Pill looked at Demacia Noxus with a sneer and sneered, "I think that if Your Excellency can get your country's latest weapons, I'm afraid you won't be reduced to doing business here, right?" ”
"This ......," Demacia Noxus suddenly choked back into his stomach when he heard this. Yes, although he has iron cannons, these things are third-rate goods that have been eliminated in Europa, otherwise they would not have been obtained by a small businessman like him. After all, in Europa, firearms are very tightly controlled.
Seeing Demacia Noxus like this, Master Ji suddenly understood that this kid was completely bragging just now, and his face suddenly turned cold, "Bring me the things and show them!" If I'm not satisfied, see if I don't tear down your store! "Master Kichipo-shi threatened unpleasantly. As the head of the second generation of the Owari Regiment, how can any merchant in Owari dare to deceive him? Now that he found out that he had been deceived, the temper of the second generation suddenly came up. However, in this regard, others did not dissuade them, after all, the status of the Nanban here is obvious, otherwise they would not have been forced to open a shop on this side of the port.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Demacia Noxus responded in a cold sweat and hurriedly ran into the back of the store to pick up the goods.
"Overlord Maru, thanks to you, otherwise I would definitely be slaughtered by this kid." Master Kichipo patted Overlord Maru on the shoulder and appreciated. Although it is already known that Demacia Noxus's iron cannon is not a good product, is there anything else in Japan besides this kind of goods? No! So Master Kichibo is definitely going to buy it, so the price is the only problem.
And Is Yoshiboshi rich? Well...... How so? Although Yoshiboshi is the lord of the castle, he has not yet been officially served, so the power of the entire Nakono Castle is still in the hands of his teacher, Hirate Masahide. But even so, the money controlled by Yoshiboshi is not comparable to ordinary people, who makes Owari rich?
Soon, Demacia Noxus came out with a strange wooden stick, and Overlord Maru looked at it, and his heart suddenly lost interest. This is indeed an iron cannon, but it is also the oldest iron cannon, looking at the thick fuse rope and the shoddy workmanship, Overlord Maru has no mood to give it a try at all.
However, Master Ji didn't have any memories of Overlord Maru's previous life, so he snatched the iron cannon from Demacia Noxus's hand and kept playing with it over and over again. It was as if I had gotten some new toy. Well, then again, such an iron cannon is indeed a novel toy for Master Kichipo, but this toy can kill.
Therefore, Master Ji couldn't wait to ask Demacia Noxus to show him how to use it, and Demacia Noxus naturally would not refuse to agree. However, it was obviously impossible to demonstrate this weapon in the shop, so the group came to the back of the shop, where there was a slightly larger open space, and Demacia Noxus found a target and placed it about 20 paces away, and immediately demonstrated it.
With "Bang! With a loud sound, the target was punched out of a big hole by the iron cannon, and this kind of power made the eyes of Master Ji and the others widen suddenly. Immediately, Master Ji excitedly grabbed the iron cannon and fiddled with it.
"Samurai-sama, you have to refill the gunpowder after shooting...... Demacia Noxus quickly explained. Anyway, he's been here for two years, and he doesn't have any business at all except for selling some glass beads or konpeito. So for Master Ji, Demacia Noxus really treated him as a high roller, for fear that he would run away because he was not satisfied with something. If that were the case, Demacia Noxus would have regretted his death.
Everyone continued to test the power of the iron cannon with great interest, but the overlord pill next to him yawned again and again, there was no way, he really lacked the slightest interest in this extremely ancient firearm. Moreover, he was originally more interested in cold weapons than in modern weapons. So, after taking two looks, he casually walked around the store.
After a while, two things in the store attracted his attention, they were two books, two very ordinary books, if they were placed in the previous life, I am afraid that Overlord Pill would not have read them. But in this era, when these two books were placed in front of Overlord Maru, he was completely attracted. Their titles are, "Magellan's Travels" and "Columbus's Travels".
"Magellan and Columbus? Did these two guys write any travelogues? Overlord Pill scratched his head and thought suspiciously, but just thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned. Then he lowered his head, looked at the titles of the two books carefully, and then opened the book sharply and skimmed through a few pages. "Nima, why can I read Portuguese?!" Overlord Maru thought in shock.
Just now, he was surprised and shocked to hear Demacia Noxus say something inexplicably, but at that time, he thought that it was just that the words spoken by the other party were relatively simple, and he had heard them in his previous life. But now, it is obvious that this excuse is impossible to adapt to, because the Portuguese is full of words, and I am afraid that even if the Portuguese in the previous life come back, they may not be able to understand it. After all, hundreds of years are enough time for writing to evolve to another level.
Recalling that he had just been able to understand Demacia Noxus's own words, Overlord Maru suddenly realized the fact that had shocked him, "Do I know Portuguese?" This fact made him a little difficult to accept, after all, he originally thought that his golden finger only had physical strength and talent for swordsmanship, spearmanship, and ninjutsu, but now, he found that his biggest golden finger was a complete language system.
"Nima! Since you have the kung fu to implant such a complete language system in me, why don't you give me skills in swordsmanship or something by the way? Overlord Pill asked Cangtian speechlessly.
At this time, Master Jifa's voice came, "Overlord Maru, what are you kid looking at?" ”
Turning his head to look, he saw Master Yoshiho and the others coming over with excited faces, each holding an iron cannon in their hands, obviously, they had already finished the test and even picked up the goods.
"It's nothing, just take a look." Overlord Pill casually raised the few books in his hand and said.
Seeing this, Demacia Noxus immediately explained, "Your Excellency Samurai, these two books are written by two of our greatest navigators in Europa, Columbus and Magellan, and they contain some anecdotes and anecdotes about the New World and the Old World, as well as their approximate locations. That's how I came to Japan in the following sections. Demacia Noxus lied without blushing.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Master Ji Fa became interested again, but he just took the two books and looked at them, and then threw them to the Overlord Pill, because he couldn't read any of the words on the books. "Can you read it?" Master Ji asked suspiciously.
"I don't understand!" Overlord Pill hurriedly denied it, if it was martial arts or something, it could still be described as talent, but words are such a thing, obviously it takes a long time to accumulate before you can learn it.
"Venerable Samurai, if you want to read these two books, you need to learn Portuguese first, and it just so happens that the shop sells such books." Demacia Noxus said, pulling out a book from a corner and handing it to Overlord Maru.
Flipping it open, Bawangmaru suddenly found that it was a book for Portuguese people to learn Japanese, with all kinds of notes on it, and it was also handwritten. Looking at Demacia Noxus suspiciously, he smiled a little embarrassedly, "This is a note I made to learn Japanese, if you need it, you can give it to you~"
"Overlord Maru, what Portuguese are you going to learn?" Master Kichihoshi asked with a puzzled expression, in his opinion, even if he had to deal with the Nanbanians, it would be good to find a Nanban who knew Japanese to be the translator, learn the language or something...... Anyway, when Master Ji saw the strange writing on it, his brain was dizzy.
"Hehe~A little interested~" Overlord Maru didn't explain anything.
"Whatever you want~" Master Ji said indifferently, anyway, it's just two books, and it's not worth much.
