Chapter 152: Frank Argot (3rd Update)

Perhaps because the Nanban ship is still a new thing, many travelers will always stop and take a closer look when passing by, and Kira Yoshishi also saw a few monks standing in place in the crowd silently chanting sutras, probably thinking that the Nanban people are the flow of demons, praying for the gods and Buddhas to bless the believers from temptation.

"Let's go! Let's go and see first! "There are Watanabe Takatsuna and Yamaoka Zenjiro two people left and right guards, plus more than a dozen people from the side to block it, Kira Yoshitoki and a dozen people quickly squeezed along the flow of people, only to find that the front of the crowd was watching what was lively, but I didn't know what was happening.

A townsman exclaimed excitedly, "Look! The yellow-haired Nanban and the red-haired Nanban seem to be arguing! ”

"Stupid! You just know! I've been watching it all morning, but I don't understand what they're arguing about. Another townsman said triumphantly.

"Since you don't know what to mean!"

"Bastard, say it again!" Before the Nanban people above fought, the two fools below hugged each other and fought, and some children were coaxing there, making the Nanban people on the dock think they were cheering for themselves but quarreled even more fiercely.

Kira Yoshitoki stared at it for a long time with wide eyes and suddenly exclaimed, "Huh! There seems to be a Nanban Lori in that crowd! Looks like they're not doing well! ”

Kira Yoshitoki's eyes rolled, and he beckoned Yamaoka to lean over and give a few words in his ear, and the latter nodded and coughed twice, shouting, "Everyone, let me go!" We are ordered by the people of the house to investigate the battle of the Nanban ships! ”

After shouting a few times in a row, it really worked, seeing that the lively townspeople hurriedly got out of the way of a road that was enough for them to pass, how could the simple townspeople think that someone would pretend to be an order from the housekeepers, especially seeing that these dozen people all had waist and crotch knives, the whole person's temperament was completely different from ordinary people, especially the strong man in the lead, tall and burly, standing there like a boulder to give the townspeople who watched the excitement a suffocating sense of oppression.

Squeezed through the crowd only to see that the two groups of Nanban people were uneven in number, the side with more people was bullying the side with fewer people and didn't know what they were arguing about, seeing that those Nanban sailors looked unkind one by one, Kira Yoshitoki instructed Yamaoka to continue the performance, and Yamaoka lived up to expectations and walked up to the two groups of Nanban, crossed his waist and shouted: "Hey! Listen, you Nanban! We were ordered to supervise the port affairs, and our Sakai Town Law Degree is famous for not gathering people to make trouble in the port! Whatever your reason, disperse at once! ”

The two groups of southern barbarians couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and there was a yellow man in the crowded side, and one of the middle-aged merchants was whispering to translate, and it didn't take long for the interpreter of the sharp-beaked monkey cheek to hesitate slightly, and then came out and said respectfully: "Our shipowner is Sir Francisco Aberra from the Spanish Empire, and I want to establish an equal trade relationship with your chamber of commerce, I don't know ......."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, so let you ship owners go to Nakanocho and talk to our chief! I repeat, you are scattered at once! With an impatient wave of his hand, Yamaoka interrupted the translation's tirade and continued to drive them away.

"Okay, okay! Let's leave! The interpreter hurriedly bowed and ran back, and after a while the encirclement of the southern barbarians slowly dispersed, and the Spanish knight nodded slightly towards the hill, making Kira Yoshitoki want to laugh behind him.

Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the townspeople slowly dispersed, Kira Yoshitoki was about to leave with someone, and the little Lori who had been hiding in the crowd suddenly ran over to stop him, and when he came to him, he found that it was still a blonde little Lori, as cute as a doll, blue eyes, long eyelashes, and a small nose, pink lips, and said while gesturing at Kira Yoshitoki: "%¥*@! ”

"I don't understand!" Scratching his head, Kira Yoshitoki tried to ask in a not-so-standard Southern Barbarian language, "Can you understand English?" ”

"Yes! Oh! My God! Finally met someone to communicate with! It scared the hell out of me! God forbid! It's all over at last. The blonde little Lori sighed and prayed with her hands crossed.

"Okay, it's not a good place to chat, you guys come with me." Kira shrugged his shoulders and was about to pull the blonde little Lori away, when a middle-aged Nanban man behind him didn't know what to shout, so that the blonde little Lori stopped and hesitated to talk to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man took the initiative to come over.

"Hello! My name is Frank Argotte, and this is my niece, Claudia of York! We are from the Netherlands and thank you for helping us! The bearded middle-aged man named Frank bowed down lightly to thank Kira Yoshitomi for his help.

"Oh! The Netherlands? It's amazing! You've traveled halfway around the world to the Western Pacific, haven't you? What a great journey! On behalf of a personal person, I would like to welcome you! Frank? Mr. Argot, and the beautiful young lady! You may call me Joseph, Joseph of the East, please go this way! I think we should talk. "Kira Yoshitoki was happy, and even changed his southern barbarian language much smoother.

With two people and a dozen sailors who followed behind, they came to the Nanban Merchant House set up by the Tennoji House, which is a two-story building with a strong Portuguese atmosphere, this is the privilege of Tsuda Zong and promised not to be in vain, the steward who guarded the Nanban Merchant Hall saw that the Yamaoka Chang showed the warrant given by Tsuda Tsuda, so he obediently went back and continued to sleep, this Nanban Merchant Hall has just been established and has hardly been used until now, since it is a distinguished guest to requisition him, he will not be nosy.

During the small talk on the way, they learned that it was a Dutch merchant ship to be exact, and the adventurous Dutch followed the Portuguese fleet to East Asia, but it was obvious that the Portuguese did not welcome them, but the Dutch told the Portuguese that they were the same king as the king of Spain, that is, the great Carl V of the Holy Roman Empire, that is, Carlos I of Spain.

Kira Yoshishi took the two Nanban men up to the second floor, leaving all the entourage downstairs, and the exquisite furnishings in the building obviously took a lot of thought, the Western mechanical clock was clicking and walking, and there were some unknown books in the exquisite bookcase, a crooked globe, and an exquisite wine cabinet.

"Oh! It's such a great place! I didn't expect to feel at home in the far east, this place is amazing! I love it! Frank Argot exclaimed in praise, her exaggerated expression eliciting a chuckle from the blonde Lori.

"Thanks for the compliment! If you have the opportunity to visit Kyoto, you may be able to get some new impressions of it. Kira thanked him politely for the compliment, and then asked impatiently, "Mr. Frank, can you tell me how you got here?" If I'm not mistaken, the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean were supposed to be the territory of the Spanish and Portuguese, and I think you know what I mean. ”

"Oh! Yes! That goddamn bastards have taken over the whole world, and even the Atlantic Ocean won't let us in, a bunch of arrogant and unreasonable upstarts! We paid our taxes and followed the Spanish route to buy some local specialties and transport them to the next destination, and we managed to save our capital by making a few trades, and this was the last stop, and we were going to return the same way after we had sold our goods. ”

Frank babbled and complained about his perilous journey, the storms and the unfortunate sinking of a ship to the bottom of the sea forever, and the plague and scurvy entanglement, and the constant attrition of the fleet along the way, which finally brought them to the beautiful western Pacific, where Japan would be their last stop, from where they would return the same way, cross the Cape of Good Hope and finally return to Europe.
