Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

"?"

Mousse took Wendlow's hand and drew this symbol on it.

She is a pure dark elf and only knows Dark Elf and part of Imperial language.

Not to mention the Aurora language, she didn't even know much about Bretonnian.

Windlow had a complete command of the Imperial language, Bretonnian, Kislevian, a good deal of Elvish, and some of the Chinese language.

The first few are phonetic characters, which can be written by reading them, with not much difference.

The only exception is the Zhendan language, which is more like a stick figure than a written language.

The Zhendan people would use lines to outline certain things or behaviors to form the most basic characters, and then construct different meanings through the combination of characters.

When he was in Marienburg, Windlow did learn a lot of Aurora language.

However, this dumb foreign language, coupled with the limitations of the Aurora ideographic script, also emerged.

If he didn't look at the words, Windlow would have no idea what the Zhendan language meant.

I could only hold Mousse's hand and write and draw on it.

"The Chinese language is a combination of pictographic characters."

However, Mousse's hands were not big, so she could only pull up her clothes and let Windlow write on her abdominal muscles, exchanging information through perception without making any sound.

"The good news is that the characters in Aurora are all pronounced one by one. The three characters that person just said are either verbs plus nouns, or nouns with quantifiers."

"Based on my many years of business experience, a quantifier plus a noun means bringing goods or doing business."

Although he couldn't understand the Aurora language at all, his experience and reasoning were not unreasonable. In addition, considering the identities of these people who were smuggling, Mousse also put down his clothes. He had already learned all the information through his abdominal muscles.

The people in front of us are the ones who are smuggling into Hanyu Port in the dark.

The dark elf's nature of robbing his foes immediately dominated his mind. After pinning Windlow to the spot, he took a deep breath and walked forward in the darkness.

We have already searched around and found no extra supplies in the underground warehouse, so it seems to be an illegal transaction.

Be able to evacuate immediately when encountering danger.

It was also at this time that the transaction between the two groups was completed. One party returned along the original route, while the other party walked to a secret door, unlocked it through special means, and left together.

The door made of the mechanism had its own rebound technology, and it bounced back and closed again when the group of people were about to leave completely.

Mousse immediately kicked out his rune sword to jam the mechanism, leaving a small gap that was not completely closed. Then he quickly grasped the door handle and controlled the lock in his own hands.

Let the secret door close gently, but ensure that it will not be locked directly.

After the two groups of people left, Windlow was able to get to a safe environment. He took out the candle he carried with him and lit it, and finally he could see the whole situation clearly.

Similar to an ancient tomb, the coffin in the middle has been completely hollowed out, leaving only a coffin board used as a trading table.

The surroundings are clean.

"It's an obvious trading place. There's no evidence and no clues. As long as you don't get caught on the spot, you'll be safe."

Naturally, Windlow understood this very well. Even if he had not engaged in smuggling or taking kickbacks, he had at least seen others doing so.

As a businessman, unlike those guards who are just doing their job, I know a very basic truth about China.

If you don't want people to know, then don't do it. Once you do something, there will be evidence left.

There were some white crystals on the stone coffin board. Put some on your hand and lick it lightly to know its composition.

"Salt? Why?"

There was no dust on the powders, and it was obvious that it was caused by the transaction just now.

In the dark, taking such a big risk, just to trade salt?

This puzzled Windlow greatly. In the empire, salt was extremely cheap. Even the special salt needed by mages or the refined salt consumed by nobles could be bought on the market.

But why did salt become a smuggled item in Zhendan? Such a cheap thing should not be smuggled.

Looking at the coffin again, it was obvious that everything inside had been emptied, leaving only an inscription with a name on it.

"The Jade Blood Clan."

Wendlow recognized the last word, which means family. This should be a family tomb called Yuxue.

The shabby surroundings can only mean that the Jade Blood Clan has long been in decline.

Apart from these two things, there was no more information in the entire space. After Mousse shook his head to indicate that it was safe outside, Windlow also sneaked out.

As the rune sword was picked up, the secret door closed again. It was so tight that there was no way to open it.

The two of them entered Hanyu Port as if they had boarded a one-way ticket.

There is a huge difference between the Zhendan city at night and the Zhendan city during the day. The more prosperous it is during the day, the more terrifying it is at night.

There was no light in the surrounding houses, and except for the occasional snoring, it felt like being in a dead city.

A ray of light shone in from the corner of the street, and then a torch illuminated the surroundings. Two Jade Warriors ran over quickly with their swords drawn.

Mousse quickly hugged Wendlow and fell into the darkness, successfully avoiding the two running Yu Yong. A crow flew over his head, making a miserable cry, which meant that the road ahead was uncertain.

"Night patrols don't run, there's bound to be trouble."

Like Zhendan, the dark elves also have night-time city control. Mousse certainly knows what it means when the night watchmen run.

Holding Windlow, he followed the two Yu Yongs at a distance of 50 steps, passing through the tight and strict Chinese residential area with extremely intricate streets.

A brightly lit building appeared before our eyes.

The Aurora Barracks coordinates the security of the entire city. It is located in the center of the city and can immediately dispatch troops to any area when encountering problems.

The moment the two Yu Yong returned to the barracks, many of the people inside immediately woke up. They put on their armor and picked up their weapons as quickly as possible, and completed the assembly and reorganization on the field.

They were prepared in teams and advanced along three roads, with each team having at least 100 people.

Three hundred fully armored soldiers?

Mousse immediately realized that something was wrong. It would not take so many rebels to catch thieves or rebels. This city must have encountered a very big crisis.

The top priority is to avoid all places where the army may appear, find a quiet place, ensure safety and concealment, and then collect detailed intelligence.

"Come on, based on your experience as a businessman, can we find a safe hiding place where no one is?"
