What Roger met was the navigator of the Kingdom, Galen Bu.
This guy was ordered to explore the kingdom's sea boundary, but unfortunately encountered the promotion of the universe. Even though he felt that the completion of the mission was far away, he never thought that the suffering had just begun.
Because it was close to the border, a sudden storm caused Galenbu's beloved ship to suffer five injuries and seven injuries, and had to go into the factory for overhaul.
And Wu Ming was busy dealing with a bunch of big things, so he didn't notice this little guy at all.
Therefore, after the ship was repaired, Galenbo still lamented that this task was hopeless, and on the one hand, he had to continue to complete his uncompetitive career.
As a navigator, he has a strong heart for any unknowns on the sea, and he even wants to see the new world on the other side of the sea.
However, the storm that Wu Ming fueled was too great, and Captain Galenbu could not go against the will of the sailors on the ship and order them to rush into the storm. Therefore, he has been circling around the sea area on this side, preparing to wait until the storm subsides before trying to go to the sea area on the opposite side.
But now, Galeb has made a new discovery.
"Um… "
He held up the binoculars: "Indeed, it doesn't look like any of the kingdom's sailing ships. Could it be from the opposite side?"
Galen Bu's curiosity was immediately aroused: "Let's go up!"
"They're coming!"
Roger looked at this scene with a smile: "What about the first contact, Adams, don't you think this is a very memorable scene?"
"Hope everything goes well!"
The white-haired old man Adams made a prayer gesture.
"We shall never fail, for our Lord is watching us from heaven!"
Roger said with a sense of magic stick.
"The opposite ship is approaching?"
The two could still chat leisurely, but the captain and the sailors became tense.
After all, in sea areas without legal supervision, anything can happen. Even an honest merchant ship, once faced with a choice of huge interests, will instantly become a vicious pirate.
In the age of sailing, what the captain and sailors have to face and overcome is not only bad weather, but also human greed!
"Ready for battle!"
Even though he felt that the other party might not be here to rob, the captain gave the order immediately.
All of a sudden, all the sailors held their weapons and stared nervously at the approaching ships.
"Don't you understand our semaphore at all?"
As the ship approached, Galenbu also saw clearly the figure on the opposite black ship. The same appearance made him feel a little relieved.
"I am the navigator of the Kingdom—Galenbu, strangers, report your names and backgrounds!"
After waiting a certain distance, he stood on the deck and shouted loudly, but unfortunately the person opposite still had a puzzled expression on his face.
"I don't understand it at all! It doesn't seem to be the official language of the Eastern Empire, is it some indigenous language?"
The captain touched his chin, and immediately took out a scroll.
The spell stored on it is language proficiency, which can temporarily enable him to have a fluent conversation with the natives.
In the era of great navigation, this is the standard configuration of every ship.
After all, this world is too big, not to mention alien races, even among human beings, the dialects of each island may be quite different.
If you want to communicate fluently without causing any misunderstandings, and finally make a deal, the ability to speak a language is naturally necessary.
If you can't afford to hire a mage to accompany the ship, you must prepare a large number of scrolls for emergencies.
"Kingdom Navigator—Galen cloth?"
After the spell was blessed, the captain finally understood the shouting on the other side, but the expression on his face became even more puzzled: "Which kingdom?"
Thinking of this, he used another 'amplification technique': "Dear Captain Galenbu, I am the captain of the Ironwood—Kosoron! Our ship has lost its way, and it would be great if we could get your help. Greatful!"
"Trek? Where are you from?"
Galen cloth asked immediately.
"We come from the country of pearls in the west, Tielang Port!"
Kosoro replied: "I don't know which kingdom you are a navigator from?"
Up to now, Galenbu has basically confirmed the identity of the people from the other world on the opposite ship, while Captain Kosoron on the opposite side is only a little suspicious.
It's just... cheating or something...
Galenbu looked at the sailors in his own boat, and immediately gave up this plan.
The encounter was too sudden, and he didn't have the time to make a series of confessions. Even if he had this time, whether these sailors could become qualified actors was still a huge question.
"I'm from the Kingdom of Seir!"
Therefore, Galenbu took a deep breath and said truthfully: "Outsiders, you have entered the kingdom's sea area!"
"Kingdom of Seir?"
Kosoro was quite puzzled at the beginning. After all, the world he lived in was too vast, and there were countless islands. It seemed possible that a certain native could establish a country on it.
'Since it dares to be called a kingdom, it must have a large area, right? '
Kosoro thought to himself, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.
What does a strange kingdom represent? It is simply an endless gold mine!
Thinking of this, he immediately put on the most sincere smile: "It's an honor to meet you, my friend, Navigator of the Kingdom, Your Excellency Captain Galenbu!"
"Me too!"
Galen Bu hesitated: "If you don't mind, can we sit down and talk in detail!"
"my pleasure!"
Kosoro replied with a smile.
On the deck, Roger, who had been watching secretly, breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we didn't do anything directly, otherwise we would not be able to capture the sailors of this ship, nor use force beyond the limit, which is really troublesome..."
…
A few days later, the two ships sailed side by side into Emerald Harbor.
"This is the largest port in our country!"
Galen cloth proudly introduced to Kosoron.
"Well, there are indeed a lot of ships and people..."
After this period of observation, Kosoron is also basically sure that this Seir kingdom must not be the original kingdom, but a newly joined outsider.
Not only him, but even the crew and sailors had discovered it, all of them were as excited as red-eyed bulls.
The new continent still has the kingdom continent established by humans, it is simply a big treasure!
Even if it is just to establish a stable route and business path, it may be enough for them to enjoy it for a lifetime.
"I'm really sorry... Since the kingdom has never received visitors before, I need to go back and ask for instructions..."
Galen Bu said apologetically.
"Please feel free!"
Kosoro tried his best to look like a gentleman: "Besides, the long-term voyage has made my sailors tired. I want to take a good rest in this port. Is there any problem?"
With the manpower and material resources of his ship, there is no way to resist a kingdom. Even if he wants to be a pirate, this manpower is insufficient and it is very uneconomical.
Because of this, Kosoron succumbed, and planned to use Galenbu's relationship to meet with the king or the nobles to see if he could get some benefits.
At the very least, you have to fight for the right to trade for yourself. It would be even better if you could have an exclusive license.
With this proof, he has the confidence to attract enough investment in Tielang Port and build a fleet!
If he succeeds, maybe he can lie down and count money for the rest of his life.
"sure!"
Perhaps it was because of Corsoron's cooperation all the time, Galenbu hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.
As a result, the sailors who were still on the ship immediately rushed to the nearest bar and the warbler there happily like a dog having a good time.
Although there are still problems with different languages, but relying on a lot of gestures between chickens and ducks, and the real money that is recognized everywhere, the business was successfully completed.
Roger and Adams also changed into local costumes and walked on the street full of exotic styles.
They are different from those hard-working sailors. They are willing to bless themselves with a spell that is proficient in languages, so they can talk to peddlers and businessmen fluently, and secretly collect information.
As the largest seaport in the Kingdom, the market in Emerald Port is very lively.
Whether it is the special products of the Windfire Plain, or the fine iron weapons of the highlands, the wolf fur antlers of the storm horns, and the books of the University City, there are all kinds of products.
'Lord Roger, now that Captain Corsoron has completed his initial contact with the Kingdom of Seir, what should we do next? '
After purchasing a large number of books and specialty products, Adams lowered his voice and asked in Roger's ear.
"Next... we just need to wait!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Roger's mouth: "In an originally closed kingdom, an outsider suddenly appeared. How big a deal do you think this is? The king of the Legendary Domain, and even other great nobles, will get news soon .”
Adams was silent.
In fact, he is also quite clear that his group of people is just a pathfinder.
Being able to survive the storm and come to the new world is already very lucky, but the next task is not very difficult, it is just contact.
Not only do you have to get in touch with the strongest legendary king in the kingdom, the conqueror, the immortal dragon, and William Wallace, but you also need to get in touch with the real power factions in the country and release the goodwill of the forces behind them.
Of course, that king will definitely not show any good looks, but as long as other nobles can see that they have other choices, that's enough!
After so many years in the Western countries, what things have not been seen? Naturally, they are more aware of the dispositions of those nobles.
In a kingdom, there are those with vested interests and those whose interests are destroyed. When they find out that there are other options, they will be shaken and even become a leading party.
Although the king's authority is huge, it is not impossible to corrode it from the root.
Anyone in power understands the principle of boiling frogs in warm water.
