Chapter 787: Find a translator

The two sides couldn't communicate due to the language barrier, so there wasn't much to talk about. After some mismatched words, the Maya people only understood one phrase, "No fight, we, good people."

Seeing Robb's strength and the fighting skills of the Eagle Warriors he displayed, the Maya people were a bit confused and didn't continue the fight. After making some strange sounds, they all retreated and disappeared instantly.

The queen seemed somewhat regretful. "It seems difficult to communicate with these natives. If it were someone else here, they would have probably killed them all just now and pursued their forces to wipe them out completely, so they wouldn't threaten our mine again. Only you would allow them to escape."

Robb smiled and replied, "I already told you before, they are humans, not monsters."

The queen nodded, understanding that this topic didn't need further discussion. Overall, she was willing to listen to Robb's opinion. "Unfortunately, nobody understands the Maya language, so we cannot communicate with them. The next time they come, they will still be enemies, not our friends."

Robb chuckled, "You can't say that. Think about it, why can the seafarers trade various goods with the Maya people? It means they were initially successful in communicating with them. Why are these Maya people suddenly unwilling to communicate and resorting to attacking us with all their might? There must be something fishy going on."

The queen seemed to grasp something. "Once we solve the problem, we can communicate again, right? It seems we need to find a seafarer who can communicate with the Maya people and hire them as translators so we can have a chat with them."

"Or we can work together, Your Majesty," Robb suggested. "It's more convenient that way. Unlike when I'm working in Westwind City, it's so troublesome. I have to be both a father and a mother, and I have to handle every little detail myself. It's really annoying."

"You dare say you interfere?" the queen said with a stern face. "My spies often report to me that you are the laziest lord they've ever encountered."

"No, no, you seem to have misunderstood. Number 32 is the ruler of Westwind City. I'm just an ordinary civilian," Robb replied.

The queen retorted, "Stop pretending. You're really good at pretending!"

At this point, her gaze shifted to the nearby mine, and a hint of envy appeared on her face. "It's great! You can mine on another continent at your leisure, thanks to the transmission gate."

Robb laughed, "Don't be so two-faced. Once you establish friendship with the Maya people, you can hire local natives to mine for you and transport the resources back using large ships."

Xuelu burst into laughter, "I don't do these things solely for the money. The main point is that they're fun!"

The queen huffed, "I don't know what's fun about it."

Robb smiled, "Well, I can understand Xuelu. Every adventurer finds doing quests fun before they get tired of adventuring."

As the two were talking, Xuelu had already brought the translator in front of them.

The dock of the port city had now become home to a large number of sea merchants. It had gradually taken over the position of Lost City and became the largest cargo shipping port in the southwest region of the continent. Sea merchants coming from the south and the north liked to unload their goods and trade here. The trading within the port was tax-free, which attracted countless sea merchants to conduct their business here.

With the increase in sea merchants, it became easy to find a sea merchant who could speak Mayan.

The translator was the captain of a small merchant ship. The profits from transporting goods were not too high, but upon hearing that they could work for Godfather and the queen, the captain quickly abandoned his own small ship and eagerly came over.

"You can understand the language of the Maya people?" the queen, who was always straightforward and disliked wasting time on idle talk, asked.

"Yes!" the sea merchant respectfully replied. "I used to work as a crew member under a prominent sea merchant in Lost City. I was one of the first to set foot on the New Continent. We traded various goods with the Maya people. At first, it was through gestures, but gradually I learned a lot of Maya language and could engage in basic conversations with them."

"Oh, not bad," Robb smiled. "Great, then come with us to the New Continent. We need your translation skills. After your task is completed, there will be a generous reward."

"I am willing to serve both of you."
