Since he didn't understand the language, Zhu Xuan didn't go deep into Marin Country immediately.
When the local black people saw them parked at the port, they simply watched and did nothing. However, various voices of discussion appeared among them, but they did not know what the content of the discussion was.
By this time, Zhu Xuan admired Zheng He.
Even if they don't understand the language, they can still travel to Africa. I don't understand how they communicate.
Communicate through sign language?
Or some other method?
In the previous countries, Zhu Xuan relied on Wu Yongfeng to help translate. When he came here, it was beyond Wu Yongfeng's ability.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Cen Jing asked.
Before Zhu Xuan could speak, the black people in front suddenly separated. Soon, a few people with more noble status, who looked like local chiefs or kings, came over, and the others immediately retreated to both sides.
They chattered and said a few more words.
Zhu Xuan and the others were still confused and couldn't understand what was said.
"Hello!"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Xuan thought that he had learned some Latin before traveling through time.
In Europe at this time, the popular language was not English, because at this time Great Britain had not yet begun to rise and had not been able to bring their languages out. Europeans probably spoke Latin, Greek, Portuguese, etc. .
The local king, or chief, should be able to travel north and have the opportunity to contact Europeans.
Zhu Xuan tried to say a sentence in Latin to see if the other party could understand it, but to his surprise, he could.
"Hello!"
The other party tried to reply.
His Latin is not standard, and Zhu Xuan's is not much better, but he can communicate.
Xu Miaojin and the others were a little surprised when they saw that Zhu Xuan could speak the language here.
"I come from the East, a country called Ming Dynasty, and I come here to do business with you." Zhu Xuan added.
The black man thought about it for a while, then understood what Zhu Xuan said, and said: "I am the king here, my name is Genna, welcome you."
They exchanged a few awkward words before confirming each other's identity.
Then, Genna invited Zhu Xuan and the others to return to their country.
It is said to be a country here, but in fact it is more like a tribe, but the tribe is very large and wide, and the living places are all thatched houses, wooden houses, or tents. They invited Zhu Xuan and others to come in, and then sent many local people. fruit.
The two girls, Xu Miaojin and Cen Hua, slowly got used to the fact that there were not many people wearing clothes here.
Regarding the clothing of local women, the soldiers around Zhu Xuan really had no interest in it because they looked too ordinary.
"Sister Miaojin, sister Hua'er, this is what they gave us to eat!"
Zhu Xuan brought the fruits to them.
Not to mention Xu Miaojin and the others, even Zhu Xuan had never eaten many of the local fruits in Africa. After eating one or two, they were very sweet.
"King Genna!"
Zhu Xuan said again: "You guys are really nice here!"
Genna grinned, showing two rows of white teeth, and said with a smile: "We are all from a small place, far inferior to your Ming Dynasty."
Seeing Zhu Xuan's huge warships, Genna understood that the Ming Dynasty must be a super powerful country. It was much larger than those in Europe. Their attitude was very polite, and they were very enthusiastic.
"I would like to ask the Ming Dynasty Emperor Sun, you came to us from such a far away place, do you really just want to exchange things with us?" Genna said again.
They in Africa are relatively backward.
There are many things outside that I cannot understand.
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "That's right!"
"Hou Xian, send us some of our cloth."
He said something to Hou Xian in Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
Hou Xian quickly brought a piece of linen cloth and placed it in front of Genna.
"King Genna, are these cloths like mine welcome in your country of Marin?" Zhu Xuan asked.
Genna touched it with his hand.
The weather here is hot and they basically don't wear clothes, but that doesn't mean they don't wear them at all. Sometimes it's necessary to cover their privacy. The cloth they wear is either rough linen or just a circle of leaves.
The quality of the cloth brought by Zhu Xuan and the others was so good that Genna's eyes lit up.
Soon, Genna shook his head and said: "Ming Dynasty Emperor Sun, your cloth must be very expensive, we can't afford it."
After communicating for a while, both parties became more and more proficient in Latin.
Although the country of Marin is isolated and backward, Genner can speak Latin, which means that he has been to Europe and has certain knowledge. Cloth like this can be sold at a very high price in Europe.
"We can trade items for items."
Zhu Xuan said: "What special products do you have here? As long as I think it is useful, I can exchange it with you."
Genna's eyes lit up. This grandson of the Ming Emperor was quite easy to get along with and was a good person.
Ever since, he turned around and said a few words to the people around him.
They immediately went to prepare the local specialties of Marin Country.
Zhu Xuan and Genna communicated for a while longer, and then led everyone to wander around this African tribe out of curiosity.
The land here is very barren. There is a small piece of grassland outside, and there is sandy land further inside. The Marin Kingdom relies on a river to form tribes, with a viable water source, and has developed a population of more than 30,000 people.
"Apart from the dark crowds here, which makes it a bit ugly, the rest of the place seems to be pretty good."
Xu Miaojin said happily: "The fruits here are delicious."
Cen Hua smiled and said, "Sister Miaojin just wants to continue eating their fruits."
Xu Miaojin smiled and said, "Sister Hua'er still understands me."
"as big as World, nothing is nonexistent."
Wu Yongfeng exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there is such a country so far away from the Ming Dynasty, with people who look so special."
Cen Jing said: "This place is very barren."
"Every place has different characteristics."
Zhu Xuan replied.
Genna and the others followed behind, leading Zhu Xuan around as they walked around.
When you come to a foreign country, of course you have to experience the local cultural environment and see what the scenery is like.
Roar……
At this moment, a roaring sound came from a sparse forest nearby.
Genna accepted them, and his expression changed greatly.
The Marin people around him immediately opened their bows to protect Zhu Xuan and the others.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Hou Xian reacted the fastest and shouted: "There is a beast!"
The soldiers from the Shenji Battalion beside him opened the safety of the gun and loaded the bullet.
That roaring sound was definitely made by a wild beast. Judging from the reaction of the Marin people, it was certain that a wild beast was attacking.
As soon as they were ready, they saw five huge animals jumping out of the woods, opening their bloody mouths and making terrifying roars.
