This was an era where the hierarchy was strict. Regardless of whether it was in Asia or Europe, more than 90% of the countries had kings and nobles. The rules of respecting the upper and lower class were extremely strict.

Of course, Sai Mouerbeike looked down on the backward races in Asia from the bottom of his heart, especially a country like the Ryukyu that didn't even have any means of survival.

In his eyes, the Ryukyu was no different from the indigenous countries of Africa. The only difference was that this country relied on the nourishment of Chinese civilization, so the etiquette system was more civilized.

Samuel did not respect these weak countries, but these weak countries' kings and nobles did not dare to disrespect him.

Why? Because what he respected was this system, not people themselves!

The aristocracy system had spanned thousands of years through the history of mankind. This was a tradition that had been implemented for far too long, and Britain was one of its most trusted supporters. Sai Mouerbeike himself was a British knight and a Pasha of Egypt.

He is a double honorary aristocrat!

Such a person had to respect the traditions and the system. Even if he looked down on King Shang Tai in his heart, he had to admit that he was the only legitimate ruler of the ancient country of Ryukyu.

Even if the Ancient Ryukyu had already been contributed to the Chinese clan, the name of the Ryukyu and their clan temple had not been destroyed, so King Shang Tai's royal nobility was still around.

If he did not respect King Shang Tai, then he would not respect the nobility tradition. If he did not respect the nobility tradition, then his own title was not worth respecting.

Under the influence of such thoughts, not to mention typhoid, Samuel had to struggle to get up and salute even if he had a broken leg.

Shang Tai did not put on much airs. He reached out to support Samuel and said, "You are a patient, there is no need to bow. Sit down …." Bring us our sculpture, and let Mr. Samuel clap his hands! "

Samuel didn't expect that King Shang Tai was able to read English and revealed a surprised expression. The guards behind the king laughed, "Your majesty is also a disciple of the leader, what you learnt is to see the world with your own eyes … Not to mention English, even French and German are very dabbling! "

"As a Sovereign King, I will accept the support of tens of thousands of citizens for no reason. I will just be a rice bug … "Such a life doesn't need to learn anything. It's actually quite boring …"

"I'm just taking out the time ordinary citizens struggle to earn money to support their families and learning a little more. There's nothing special about it …"

As he spoke, the one foot square sculpture was moved in by the guard and placed beside Samuel's bed. The famous explorer took out a magnifying glass from his backpack and started to examine it carefully.

"That's right, that's right …" My judgement was not wrong... "This stone sculpture is from the Divineflame Sect, which is also known as the Zoroastrian Sect!"

"This is the God of Fire Worship, called the God of Victory. The symbol of this God is the Ox-head, the Lion's Hair, and the rhinoceros' horn …" Look, it's exactly the right number! "

"What else was unearthed?"

Hearing that there was a way, he immediately took out a dozen gold coins from his pocket. "Look, there are some gold coins in the tomb!"

"Haha …" The gold coins of the Ancient Rome era, were not wrong … This kind of gold is found in large quantities in Asia Minor... Although I did not see this burial site, I made a bold judgement regarding the things you unearthed! "

"This place is an important trading road between ancient China and Europe. All caravans have to take this ancient road …" And along the trade road came not only wealth and goods, but also religion and art... "

"The identity of the owner of this tomb could be a merchant who died on the way. It could also be a tomb of a believer after the Fire Worship had spread to this place …"

"I really want to see it for myself!" "This illness of mine is too troublesome …"

Samuel was indeed an expert in the cultures of Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia, and these cultures were all inextricably linked to the Western Regions.

That was a profound insight into their conversation, especially when Samuel told the story of how Silk was first passed to the Ancient Rome Empire, it made all the other Chinese present even more moved.

"The records of silk in European history date back to the time of Caesar the Great, and that period seems to be the Han Dynasty of your Chinese people …"

"Once, Caesars came back victorious from a war. The Roman senate, parliament, and all the citizens of the city were waiting to celebrate for Kaiser. They thought that Kaiser would return to Rome gloriously clad in armor …"

"But no one would have thought that Caesar would appear before the Romans in the robes of a god. That was the first time silk had appeared in Europe!"

"Soft and smooth as a young girl's skin. A charming ray of light could arouse the deepest desires of people. The Romans of that time were only wearing linen. Even the nobles could make drawings. In essence, he was still linen …"

"There's no way to say it in the same breath. Silk immediately conquered all the nobles in Rome. At that time, a kilogram of silk actually required twelve ounces of gold to buy …"

"The windfall has made it difficult for many merchants to travel across Eurasia. History has recorded that many European merchants could successfully travel across Europe once in their lives. The amount of money they earn is enough for them to open a good shop in Europe and live their entire lives there …"

After listening to Samuel's story, the left hurriedly pulled out some dried silk fragments. "That's right, there's a lot of silk unearthed in the graveyard, the climate here is too dry, a lot of silk fabric hasn't rotted yet. We can still see the patterns and luster of the past …"

"Too beautiful, I really want to take a look …" Can you let me collect a few of these pieces? "

There were a lot of fragments of silk that he had found from the tombs, the left side did not care about giving him a few pieces, but Sai Mouerbeike carefully opened his notebook and placed the fragment of silk inside.

When he saw the notebook on the left, his eyes lit up!

The Ghost Eye Zuo Chao did not stay in Europe for long. He only knew a few simple words and a few simple daily conversations. He could not understand the contents of Samuel's thick notebook.

However, as a lifetime of revered antiques, he only needed to glance at it to know that this notebook definitely had a lot of Samuel 'archaeological records.

Maybe some secret treasure, the location of the tomb, was hidden in the notebook!

The left side smiled and said, "I still have some sketches of the tomb here. Would you like to collect a few of them?"

"Of course! "Thank you very much, really thank you very much …"

The sketches from the Guizhou Ancient Tomb were also kept away. The little left eye greedily stared at the illustrations in the notebook, the more he read, the more he found it interesting.
