Chapter 315 [314] Daming Outer Enclave(2/3)
The Great Elder and Cook Mo were having a hard time. Their fatigue was obvious, and they were working like a trapeze artist in this world.
Therefore, Zhou Li settled in Sumatra as a transit point and rested for a few days.
This trip passed through many countries, but none of them came;
Just looking down from a high altitude, most of them look like walled cities and tribes.
Kuk Modu lamented several times: "The countries on this earth are so small, far less than a city in the valley."
The prosperity of city-state alliances is indeed rare.
If it weren't for the lagging behind in technology, it wouldn't be overwhelmed by a small Spain.
When Zhou Li'an heard this, he just smiled.
It would be foolish to judge the strength and weakness of a large city only by the size of the city without seeing the national conditions of the countries with your own eyes.
H225 landed in southern Sumatra.
Only at the moment of landing.
【bite--】
【Congratulations on your first exploration of Southeast Asia;】
["Asian Language Pack" (Southeast Asia) unlocked. 】
The system is old-fashioned.
Not just now, I set foot in West Asia a few days ago and unlocked the West Asian language pack;
Go to India and unlock the South Asian subcontinent language pack.
As far as Malacca, Sumatra, and other Southeast Asian countries, there are also new language pack partitions.
What can Zhou Li'an do?
Spend money to buy skills!
In later generations, English, Cantonese, and Malay will be fully spoken in this area.
English is a blessing left by the colonizers;
Cantonese is a blessing passed down by all dynasties and generations of the ancient Eastern countries;
Malay is the mainstream language because of its population size.
But you must know that nowadays, everywhere is deserted. Except for the main cities, every village still uses the indigenous language and is not allowed to be civilized.
When Zhou Li'an chose the language pack, it was naturally the "Deluxe Edition".
Loads in one second.
Too lazy to talk nonsense with the system.
The landing place he chose was only 70 kilometers away from Palembang, the big city of Srivijaya Kingdom.
If we go further, the villages are prosperous, and the strange phenomena in the sky will inevitably attract the attention of the people when landing.
"Master, how many days are we going to visit here?"
Xue Nu was the first to ask questions, and even asked the great elder and Kuk Mo about their thoughts.
The realm where the sacred weapon of balance flies into the sky is indeed magical and has a unique taste.
But they are mortals. They have not set foot on the earth for a long time, and they always feel empty and inexplicable fear.
And isn’t this trip just to see the sights of various countries?
Zhou Li'an nodded: "The specific number of days to visit depends on the situation;"
"Before departure, I have a decree to send down——"
Swish, swish.
Snow Girl took the lead, and the Great Elder and Cook all knelt down and worshiped.
Even if she is favored by her master, Snow Girl will never be arrogant because in her eyes, the more favored she is, the more she must show piety.
Not like some little blond witch who has no idea of etiquette!
Zhou Li'an continued: "From today on, you can no longer call me 'my lord', but call me 'my lord' and 'young master'."
"I am the wealthy merchant who holds the slave contract for you and others."
"My surname is Zhou;"
"The name Li'an was chosen by the master of the family, which means peace and happiness for the people!"
"Snow Girl!"
Snow Girl immediately raised her head: "Master... Young Master, Snow Girl is here."
Seeing her smart look, Zhou Li'an couldn't help laughing: "You can't call me Snow Girl anymore. This time, your name will be 'Si Nuo'. She is me... the girl I spent a lot of money to buy, young master, my maid!"
"Can you write it down?"
Snow Girl is the one who understands Zhou Li'an's laughter best. Both the master and the servant got the bad taste, and they laughed brightly——
"Master, Si, Si Nuo has written it down!"
aside.
How had an old man and a young man seen such a battle before?
The great elder understands the rules of Chinese language, but Kumo has just rested and cannot understand.
Zhou Li'an said to the Great Elder again: "As for the Great Elder...he will be named Mo this time. You two will call him Mr. Mo. He is an old servant in my family, and his full name is Mo Doc."
"Mr. Mo, can you write it down?"
When the great elder heard this name, he was instantly struck with laughter.
Isn't the grammatical pronunciation of Modoc the homophony of the "Modoc" tribe in the tribal language?
"My lord is above, I remember..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Li'an and Xue Nu looked at him jokingly, which made the elder suddenly wake up: "Young Master, the old servant has written it down."
Finally it was Cookmo's turn.
Zhou Li'an switched to the valley language: "You don't understand the rules of the language, so you are still called Kumo. You are the orphan I took in when I visited the West. I kept you as a servant by my side."
"Then, the witch is Si Nuo and the great elder is Mo Lao. You have to write it down."
Cook Mo nodded repeatedly and recited it silently several times.
Then, Zhou Li'an added some background information——
"Although my Zhou family's ancestral home is in the Ming Dynasty, due to the chaos of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, I lived overseas during the Southern Song Dynasty and established my feet in distant places. This trip is to find my roots in my homeland of China."
That makes sense.
No matter the snow girl, the great elder or Kumo, they all look like Yuan people.
Zhou Li'an was the leader, or his family's ancestors enslaved some of the defeated Mongolian troops overseas during the decline of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
This saves you the trouble of explaining the origin of Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, in Southeast Asia, the ancestors of Chinese people from all over the country all have the same experience. Either criminals fled into exile, or they moved overseas due to the turmoil of the current situation.
Once you arrive in Daming, you don’t have to worry about identity issues anymore.
The origin can be explained by the name of Nanyang merchants.
Followed closely.
Zhou Li'an questioned several people separately and gave simulated answers. After finding that there were indeed no questions, he waved his hand——
Whoosh.
H225 disappeared.
Instead there was a carriage and two horses.
"Kuk Mo, you learn how to drive with Mr. Mo. Mr. Mo's rest of the trip depends on you."
"I... don't have any problem. It is an honor for an old servant to serve the young master."
"Kuk Mo, why don't you help the young master and Miss Si Nuo board the car?"
Cook didn't know what it meant, but he understood from the gesture that he wanted to serve my lord and the shaman on the carriage.
After several people boarded the car, Zhou Li'an pointed out the direction, and then the great elder drove forward.
It's not even morning yet.
This place is close to "Palembang". When we arrived, we looked down from a high altitude and found the road to the capital. It didn't take long for us to be on the right track.
After walking for an hour, I met many merchants and travelers.
Most of them were shocked when they saw the two carriages driving.
Horses are very expensive in the local area and cannot be used by ordinary people. Seeing that the four people are extraordinary, most people dare not approach them.
To be continued...
