Chapter 626: The Little Translation Genius Who Can Speak Three Languages
Seeing this, Pei Shijiu subconsciously stood in front of Qiao Jianer with a look of vigilance on his face. Qiao Jianer could see that the other party had no ill intentions and walked forward.
The young man came up to the two of them. He was thin and looked very agile and nimble. He talked a lot for a while, but Qiao Jianer didn't understand him, so he shook his head and prepared to leave.
The young man hurriedly took two more steps and seemed to change his language, but Qiao Jianer still couldn't understand.
Seeing her confused expression, the boy immediately switched to a third language.
Qiao Jianer realized that the other party could speak multiple languages, but she didn't know if he could speak Middle-earth, so she waited patiently.
Finally switching to the sixth language, the young man asked in a somewhat stiff but clear Middle-earth dialect: "My two nobles, are you from Middle-earth?"
Pei Shijiu was surprised. It was amazing that this man could speak so many languages at such a young age.
The diplomatic envoys in the capital who can speak multiple languages can only speak eight at most. This young man probably masters more than eight foreign languages.
In order to avoid being recognized by Boss Zuo's men, Qiao Jianer wore a veil hat and Pei Shijiu also wore a conical hat.
The boy couldn't see much of their faces, so he stopped looking.
Qiao Jianer said, "Yes, we are from Middle-earth. What can I do for you?"
"Well, my name is Danso, and I'm a local. I speak thirteen languages, including your Middle-earth language. I see you're new here and unfamiliar with the place. Do you need a translator?"
It turned out that he was here to be a translator. Qiao Lianer had not thought about this issue before, but when he got here and couldn't speak the language, it would naturally be much more convenient to have a translator.
He took out a few pieces of gold from his sleeve and placed them in his palm.
But Suo's eyes suddenly lit up. He had never received so much money before. It was enough for him and his sister to have food and clothing for a year.
He quickly nodded and bowed to Qiao Jianer: "Where are you going? Who do you want to communicate with? I will take you there."
It seems that Dan Suo is very familiar with the situation in this area.
"There's a caravan from Mr. Zuo that's coming here to pick up stones. I wonder if they've arrived yet."
"So it's Boss Zuo. I know, they only come here once every two months and they usually do large transactions. They arrived last night and were selecting stones."
As Danzou spoke, he led them up the mountain.
After crossing this mountain, there is a different situation. Several mountains are connected together, covering a vast area, divided into several large areas. People are mining in each area, and there are troops and guards standing by to supervise and ensure that no one does anything wrong.
But Suo introduced that these miners are also local civilians, who can get a fixed income every day, which is in the middle level among local civilians. If they pick up waste on the hill below, their income may be more or less, and it is not so stable.
Standing next to the army and the guards were several experienced appraisers. They had sharp eyes and could quickly identify valuable stones.
Dan Suo's gaze fell on a little girl of about eight years old in the crowd. The little girl was not as dark-skinned as him, and also had a pair of bright black eyes and pretty facial features. She had slender legs and was pushed around by the crowd, but she gritted her teeth and worked silently.
"Such a young girl is picking up stones." Qiao Lianer couldn't help asking.
"Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. There are many children here who have lost their parents. A little girl like this can only get 30% of what an adult gets in a day, which is enough to eat until she's 70% to 80% full."
As Dan Suo spoke, he lowered his head and a gap appeared between his clenched fingers. He saw a ray of golden light suddenly leaking out, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
He quickly clenched his fingers again, concealing his expression, and continued to introduce them to the two.
"The best mining areas in the middle belong to warlords, and the ones on the outskirts belong to wealthy businessmen," he said.
"Generally, caravans that come to pick up goods will choose from every mining area. Of course, some caravans only cooperate with specific mining areas. Boss Zuo's caravan belongs to the former category."
"Warlords and wealthy businessmen all have their own warehouse areas. I'll take you to the warehouse, and maybe you'll see Boss Zuo's caravan."
Qiao Jianer noticed that when Dan Suo left, he looked at the little girl again.
They look somewhat similar, maybe they are brother and sister.
However, she did not expose it. She followed Dan Suo all the way around the hill and saw a large flat mountain top with several large warehouse areas.
The civilians lined up and carried baskets filled with selected good stones and walked towards various warehouse areas.
Stones like these are all valuable to some extent, worth at least twenty or thirty taels. If they are transported to the gambling stone stalls, some money can be recovered.
In the warehouse area, there are stilt houses for people to live in and receive guests. They are supported by sturdy pillars with houses built on top, which exude strong local characteristics. There are also warehouses made of spacious greenhouses, where you can see many caravans selecting goods.
Dan Suo first asked Qiao Jian'er and the others to wait. He saw a boss he knew well, so he ran over and asked in the local dialect, "Uncle Yin, where did Boss Zuo's caravan go?"
Uncle Yin was a serious man with a solemn expression and two scars on his face. He looked at the two people who followed him and raised his hand to point in a direction.
"It's at the Zaga Military Governor's place, just around the corner." Dan Suo came back and continued to lead his men.
Qiao Jianer felt as if someone was staring at them. She turned around and saw that it was Uncle Yin. There was no emotion in the other man's eyes.
The people here were indeed much more barbaric. She had noticed that Uncle Yin didn't look away at all, as if he were an animal he encountered in the wild, provoking it silently.
Qiao Jian'er doesn't care. If no one offends me, I won't offend anyone.
This kind of place is obviously full of ruthless people, but she will be even more ruthless.
Qiao Jianer turned back as if nothing had happened, and her calm and indifferent demeanor made Uncle Yin stunned for a moment.
Two kids who are only in their teens dare to come to a place like this. They must be really capable.
The warlord's warehouse was more strictly guarded, with soldiers standing on both sides, their faces tense and full of vigilance.
"You guys wait outside first and don't move. After all, this is your first time here and they don't trust you yet." Dan Suo took another nimble step and ran in.
As for Dan Suo, these warlords had long been accustomed to him and allowed him to run into the warehouse area.
After a while, a man in his fifties, who was obviously from the Middle-earth, walked out quickly. Beside him was a general dressed as an adjutant, several soldiers, and two of his own men.
"Miss, are you looking for our caravan?" The man did not directly ask for the key information.
"Yes, I am Miss Chen's friend. I came here to pick up stones with Boss Zuo's caravan." Qiao Lianer handed over a letter.
