Chapter 596: 'Setting Up a Bureau' (I)
The stone hall where Viscount Tatdu was located was two or three times larger than the spacious stone hall with a radius of thirty or forty meters that Zhang Lisheng had just dined in, and dozens of huge braziers were hung in a ring on the ceiling version of the hall.
And on a piece of tiger-headed giant beast leather spread in the middle of the hall, several leading figures of Tate were surrounding a bluestone round table, and their eyes of unknown meaning were cast on Zhang Lisheng who heard the call and strolled into the hall.
Among them, the fair-skinned man who seemed to weigh at least three hundred pounds, wearing a light red cotton silk single coat, and the strong muscles under the tall and fat body fat were faintly visible, with a smile on his face, he first pointed to the stone chair that the servant beside him had just mobilized and said, "Guest, welcome to the Tatdu Collar, please take a seat." โ
"Thank you, Lord Viscount Tatto. "Looking at the 'Tatdu, the master, whose appearance and body were greatly beyond his expectations, Zhang Lisheng's eyes widened in surprise, and then he realized his rudeness, hurriedly and clumsily learned to bow deeply like a servant, and then walked hesitantly to the high-backed stone chair.
"You're surprised to see me, aren't you," the fat man smiled generously at the guest's swaying expression, pointing to the long and short weapons of battle axes, flails, chain hammers, and other weapons hanging from the walls around him, "I used to be a powerful warrior, but the pain caused by the Silorians made it impossible for me to stand up on my own strength again.
Now he can only hide in the castle and rule the territory with his head and tongue. โ
In the face of Sir Tatedu's frankness, Zhang Lisheng was speechless for a while, walked to the stone chair and sat down before stammering: "Lord Viscount, in the ancient times of my country, there was a great wise man who said that "those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people" For a leader, the power of the mind is far greater than that of the fist. โ
"Those who work hard rule people, and those who work hard rule people..."Viscount Tattdu muttered to himself repeating what the black man next to him said, and nodded approvingly, "It seems that you come from a country with a completely different civilization than 'Roman', and I would like to be friends with you just by saying this." โ
"Believe me, Lord Viscount, I desire us to be friends more than you do. Zhang Lisheng said with a wry smile, hearing the deep meaning of his words, Viscount Tate was stunned for a moment, smiled meaningfully, and began to point to the other people at the round table to introduce them one by one.
"This is my mentor from my youth to the present, and the great wise man of the Tatdu Territory, Master Etefago. The first dignitary introduced an old man sitting on his left hand side with a white beard that reached his chest, with a bald head, wrinkles and dead bark on his face, and a wooden staff more than two meters high in his hand at all times.
As soon as his words fell, Zhang Lisheng had already said respectfully: "Count to you, respected wise man ......" The reward was only the old man's indifferent smile.
At this time, Viscount Tattodu's fingers had already slid to the old man's side, a man of the same age as himself, with a square face and thick eyebrows, wearing half-body armor, and a straight waist, "He is my best friend, the most heroic comrade-in-arms, and one of the military commanders of my Tatdu Command, General Houdtende." โ
"Hello, brave and strong general. Zhang Lisheng hurriedly continued to greet, and then he met Wei Mande, the chief of staff of the Tatt Commander, a middle-aged man who was as thin as a bamboo pole and looked like his armor was custom-made:
The administrative brain of the Tatdu people, the herdsman Mangel, a tall woman with a frosty face and a resolute face, and her hands were always busy writing and drawing in a book of animal skins, and she looked like there were more men than women;
Lord Hedland, the assistant chief of the Viscount of Tatto, kept a flattering smile on his well-repaired and clean face, and wore a finely crafted animal skin robe, and looked particularly 'oily and slippery' among the Romans of general appearance.
โ... We were debating how to repay the West Lorians a 'big gift' for today's sneak attack.
I didn't expect General Fedos to suddenly report that you were coming," After the man from the other world introduced all the characters in the stone hall that were worth introducing, Viscount Tate Du said with a smile, but was abruptly interrupted by Zhang Lisheng: "Lord Viscount, I didn't come to Tate Capital, but I got lost."
To be honest, I wanted to pretend to be stupid and see if you could take the initiative to send me out of the jungle and back to my world, but the intelligence shown by Captain Manlov and General Fedos, that is, the wisdom you are talking about, shows that doing so is likely to be a dead end.
Let's spread it all out, I hate the Silorians and they only care about protecting the leader of our mission when they are in danger, and they don't care about me at all, and the result is that I got lost in the forest and was almost eaten by wild beasts several times.
Good or evil, the reason for your war doesn't really matter to me at all, the important thing is that I want to go home alive... ๏ผโ
Wu Li's confession, which seemed to be sincere, caused the surrounding Roman nobles to fall into an eerie silence.
"Teacher Etefago, it's not too much of a request for our guests to come home alive, is it?" said Viscount Tatedu after a few seconds, touching his fat chin and looking at his teacher.
Etefago nodded deeply, suddenly looked at Zhang Lisheng and asked, "Guest, what kind of danger did you encounter in the dense forest and get lost?"
As far as I know, your kingdom has warriors with very magical and powerful powers, and under their protection, it should be safe to traverse the forests that border our world. โ
"Master Etefargo, the danger I encountered is of a natural nature, nature, do you understand, oh, how to explain this word to you," Zhang Lisheng pondered and said: "Nature is a phenomenon that ordinary people understand, well, for example, you just said that those warriors in our country who have magical and powerful power have natural powers."
Let me elaborate, the danger I encountered was 'Secret Realm, Collapse, I'm kind of losing my sense of time now, I think it's been a long time since now... At this moment, the secret realm suddenly collapsed, and a rushing stream of water gushed out of it, washing me into the tree... ๏ผใ Based on his own exploration of the Amazon with the Chinese Mission, Chuangzร o has come up with a story full of nonsense in key points, but the details are very true.
After listening to Zhang Lisheng's bizarre encounter, Viscount Bad Tedu first set his eyes on his thoughtful chief of staff, and asked very bluntly: "Wymande, how credible do you think the story told by our guests is?"
"My lord, although detailed information is hard to obtain, according to the collection of spies, the mission of the Celorian Otherworldly allies did encounter an accident during the forest exploration a month ago.
And the real leader of that mission is indeed a young lady, whose identity is uncertain, but it must be very high. The Grand Staff Officer came back to his senses and replied.
"It may be true that our guest is so cruel, except that he has been lost in the forest for more than thirty days. Tate said with a smile.
"Lord Viscount, the forest I lost in is called the 'Amazon' in our world, and I am a scholar who specializes in the ecology of this primeval forest, and when I get lost, I also carry some high-calorie snacks with me, which is the food that you are very hungry here.
I will drill wood for fire, sharpen stone knives and shave off my head and beard so that I can travel in the dense forest, looking for mushrooms and insects that are non-toxic and can be eaten raw..."Zhang Lisheng hurriedly explained incoherently, and even raised his dirty hands full of calluses and cracks to Viscount Tatdu, "This is the 'gift' that more than a month of jungle life has brought me" I'm really crazy, please believe me.
I really don't have a reason to lie to you..."
Seeing the expression of the man from the other world who was almost out of his mind, the Roman nobles in the stone hall looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then the viscount's assistant head manager Hedran said in a gentle voice: "Guest, okay, I believe that what you said is true.
So what kind of terms are you going to use to exchange with us and escort you back to your world safely?"
"A possibility, a possibility..."Zhang Lisheng seemed to gradually calm down from his hysterical state, and gasped: "As I said just now, although the alliance between my country and 'Siloria' is purely accidental, because Director Guo Caiying, who presides over this work and has listed it as an important political achievement, is the only daughter of the national leader, so it is very difficult to break this covenant."
However, it is precisely because of Director Guo's special family background that there are many big names who stand on the opposite side of her..."
"Do you mean the rebels?" said Hedland, who abruptly interrupted the black man.
"No, my lord, the political system of our country is different from that of 'Roman, power is not hereditary, oh, of course the current leader of the country is indeed the son of the founding father...
It's hard for me to explain to you for a moment how different our polity is, but in short, our national leaders, though not actually elected, nominally go... ," Zhang Lisheng explained with a frown, but was interrupted by Hedrand again, "In the nominal election, are you implementing a kind of reformed 'electoral system'?"
"No, no, no, we are democratic centralism," Zhang Lisheng said with a head shake and distressed: "I'm not a politician, it's really hard to explain this system to you, Lord Lord, oh, I'm really, really..."
"Well, Hedland, don't embarrass our guests.
Guest, there is no need to explain if you can't explain clearly, the gap between civilizations is sometimes difficult to explain in words, just say what you have planned. Viscount Tattdu said with an understanding smile. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. ๏ผ
