"Yes, they have sent people to discuss trade issues with our country. The official gave a brief explanation and retired.

"Xitai ....... ”

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Dumb was in the Intelligence Bureau, and was in charge of the internal affairs of the territory, and the affairs outside the territory were handled by "another person", so he was not very clear about the situation overseas.

"When I was in the royal capital, I attended several diplomatic banquets, and I heard a diplomat say that on the northeastern coast of the African continent, a country has recently emerged, which is Xitai, haven't you heard of it in the territory?"

"In these years, the number of small countries is as many as fleas on the cow's body, and some poor places have pulled a big banner and hundreds of people support it, so they dare to call it Wang Liguo, and they can survive five years. Sleeping Bear didn't care, he was addicted to alcohol, and he only thought about how much wine he was going to drink at the banquet.

"Young master, after what you said, I remembered that an overseas businessman who had dealings with the intelligence bureau said it, but he didn't know much, only that the king was born as a slave and was once a Persian general. Dun Serge.

"I know more than you, the diplomat said that Xitai is thirsty for talents, and has abolished slavery, treated soldiers well, fought wars, rewarded meritorious deeds, worked as one, and soldiers were brave, but that was nearly three years ago.

Now that Xitai is able to send a ship to Aragon, presumably its power has expanded a lot, after returning home, find more information, and pay attention to this strange and distant place, lest one day wake up, hundreds of warships, thousands of camel war elephants, drive into the house, and ask us to cede the land and pay compensation. ”

The words were easy, but in Randall's heart, he had already put the Xitai Kingdom in a position.

Not long after, a fluently spoken young bachelor, named Tony, arrived, and was tasked with guiding Randall and his party around the palace. Only guests with sufficient status can be treated like this.

He was accompanied by an entourage, with the brim of his hat lowered and a mask wrapped around him, and although Dunbu was strange, he was not easy to ask.

“...... In front of it is the Yar Hall, which is the oldest part of the palace, the hall for handling official business, listening to politics, judgments, etc., and now His Majesty is in a meeting, and it will be introduced by His Majesty himself later. ”

"To the south is the Koma Hall, where the ministers are met, and where the noble officials also drink tea, smoke shisha, and talk about state affairs. After a moment's pause, Tony said, "Now, let's go smell the scent." ”

Tony dutifully explained, not slacking off because of Randall's blindness, he knew that blind people have sharp ears and low voices as much as possible.

After a while, Randall came to a place full of birds and flowers.

The flowers in season are in full bloom, and the smell is mixed, as if you are in a "flower country".

The group passed through the flower country, and the fragrance of the flowers collided with the clothes, becoming a fragrant man, a butterfly that was not afraid of people, and stopped on Randall's shoulder, greedily sucking the fragrant honey on him.

"The ventilation here is specially designed to allow the fragrance of flowers to permeate. As he walked, he took him to a plant, and he hoped that this time the princess would be happy, and that the marriage would go well, and that Aragorn would have a strong helper.

When you come to the target.

"We're under the myrtle!" Tony lost his voice a little.

"I know that this is your unique tree in Aragon, and I heard that it is known as the "Eros Tree", and that the language of flowers is the sweet language of love, and I heard that praying under this tree will bring harmony to the husband and wife for a lifetime, right, Bachelor. Randall said what he knew.

"The young master is really knowledgeable. Dumb praised, and Sleeping Bear yawned.

"There are four hundred and twenty kinds of flowers and plants in this place, all of which are of great variety throughout Aragon and even in the Erie Peninsula. This tree is also 600 years old!" Tony proudly introduced, and at the same time, the servant who followed him moved his steps and became the next "picture".

"Peach -------------------------------------------- Tree"

The attendant's mouth seemed to move, and Randall heard a very small syllable spit out – "Shake with light water...... Neptune House ...... Until death...... Separate!"

Tony had been paying attention to his followers, and when he saw his followers take a step back, he immediately said, "Legend has it that this tree had a divine revelation during the time of the first king, and those who pray under this tree can bathe in divine grace, so you can also try it, just say, "I promise to be under this tree, what I see and hear", it is enough. ”

It's a little strange, but Randall still does what Tony says, "I agree with what I see and hear under this tree." ”

After leaving the peach tree, everyone went to another flower area, and the entourage did not know when to change people, and changed into a tall man.

"I regret not being able to see it in person, and please give me a few plants so that I can take them back to the county of Bassey, so that the people of the territory will be fortunate enough to see the beauty of the Aragonese flowers.

"It's a little thing. "Tony is very crisp.

"Don't run!"

"My lord, I'm here, come on. ”

There were people frolicking in the garden on the side, and Tony knew who it was, "Those people next to me are the envoys of Xitai who will have a banquet in the evening." ”

"What a coincidence, can you introduce us first?" Randall wanted to get to know first.

------

"Ahh

"Caught, don't run...... How did you get so fat?" The envoy of Xitai worked harder, his fingers were like touching a steel plate, he couldn't press it at all, he pulled down the blindfold, and found that it was an old man he had never seen before, his eyes were very small, and only a thin slit was open.

"The machine is grunting....... He let go, took five or six steps back, and stared at the sleeping bear with interest, and the women who played with him all stepped back behind him.

"What bird is spoken, which language is spoken?" Sleeping Bear looked at Tony.

"Semitic, a dialect of Persia, of course, I don't understand, was told to me by another old scholar. Tony continued, "The envoys have a lingua franca (Latin), and if you know it, you can greet each other. ”

Latin is the lingua franca of most countries on both sides of the sea and the earth, and Persian is still at the back, which also means that the Bytin Empire is currently stronger than Persia, and more maritime trade routes are controlled by the Bytin navy.

"Let me introduce you, this is an envoy sent by the Kingdom of Xitai, Lord Said-Envoy. Tony then pointed to Randall, "This is the son of the Marquis of Grad in the Kingdom of Gaul, Lord Randall von Adolf. (Latin and Spanish)

Tony speaks six Chinese, which is why he was able to hold this important position as a young man and also served as a royal astrologer.

"Young master, the envoy has black hair, a lot of braids tied at the back of his head, a slightly yellow complexion, and a small stature, probably half a head shorter than you. Dumb whispered to Randall.

"It is an honor for me to know you from the Kingdom of Gaul, your country is mighty and sea-shattering. Saide put his hand on his chest and made a greeting from Xitai, but soon realized that Randall couldn't see and stretched out his hand. (Latin)

"Randall, like you, is honored. After Dumbour's reminder, Randall held out his hand and shook it. (Latin)

When he was six to eight years old, Boni invited two women who were proficient in this language and loved to chat, and in his ear, he spoke all day long, and his ears were calloused, and he had whispered in a dream, and finally mastered that, at present, in addition to French, Spanish, and Latin, he could also speak a little Italian of the Sirian Kingdom.

Through Said's steady voice, the size of his palm, the amount of flesh on his fingers, the thick cocoon, and the size that Dumbo said he wasn't tall, Randall had a short, sturdy young man in his mind.

Said also looked at Randall, and his hands could perceive many things, such as a person's daily habits, a musician's hand, with rough fingertips and soft palms, and a farmer's hand, which was full of calluses. From the other party's hands, Saide felt that Randall was not a pampered nobleman, his palms were very thin, and there were many calluses at the joints, and he must have worked hard in martial arts, especially in bow shooting.

"Me. ”

Said wanted to talk more, but when he saw that the Aragonese officials were present, he temporarily pressed it and retired after a few pleasantries.

Ten months ago, just on the day of his eighteenth birthday, he was ordered to set sail, and the Xitai Kingdom sent him to the west, in addition to friendly trade with the coastal countries, he also thought about whether he could form a military alliance to ensure the safety of the sea lanes.

But the Baiting officials, arrogant, he waited for ten days, sent a large number of ivory and frankincense, but only saw three middle-level officials, and spent a lot of money, all the communication expenses were spent, but not even the emperor's back was seen, what is even more annoying is that the Baiting officials took the initiative to pay tribute to the courtiers as the reason, and issued a document.

"Nero, the greatest monarch of the world, king of the Latins, lord of the earth and sea, spokesman of God, supreme Basilius (son of God), king of kings, and virtuous emperor...... From now on, go to its barbarian name, and seal the "King of Xitai" as the guardian of the southern border of the empire, and pay tribute to 30 elephants every year, 500 catties of frankincense, 1,000 roots of cypress, and 15 beauties ....... ”
