Chapter 601 – Harbor of the Superior Race

Chapter 601 – The Port of the Ascendant Race
“Interesting, similar to our looks, but without the long horns.”

Horace looked at the [Human] in front of him and clasped his hands in front of his chest with interest.

“Honorable Lord, we are a human race that has traveled far across the ocean, coming from another continent.”

Glenn smiled, stroked his right hand across his chest, and bowed slightly towards the goatman before him – the superior race in the Minotaur’s mouth.

What a marvelous looking race, height and build similar to humans, only the two curved horns on top of their heads, just like sheep, looked so abrupt.

After bidding farewell to the Great Stream Tribe, the Western Exploration Team traveled south along the coast and crossed the Southern Strait to the Southern Continent, as described by the Egbert Priest.

Then they discovered the harbor city built by the sheep people.

Yes, the sheep people were indeed much more civilized than the minotaurs or whatever other races on the northern continent, and they were already building boats with sails, though the main power was still the paddle.

Glenn made a bold decision, and they approached the harbor of the Sheep People’s Gate.

Compared to the boats of the sheep people, the three-masted sailing ship of the Western Exploration Team can really be called a behemoth, and the sheep people on the dock looked at the “castle” that appeared out of the sea with shocked eyes.

Glenn boarded the dock in a small boat and met Horace, the manager of the place, as he called himself, amidst a crowd of amazed onlookers.

Fortunately, the language of the sheep people was similar to that of the Tahitian tribes, and it seemed to be a relationship between the dialects, so Glenn and the others were able to communicate with them.

In accordance with the previous administration, Glenn offered his gift, which Horace accepted with an open line.

But when Horace saw the paper in the gift, he laughed out loud with a harrumph.

“Guests from afar, I thank you for the gift, but this paper, well, we have our own oh.”

He was able to show Glenn the sheep people’s paper.

Glenn took it curiously and observed it, yes, it was indeed a usable paper, though not as textured as the ones from the Northwest Gulf.

Horace puffed out his chest and said with some pride, “This is something invented by our clever Queen.”

Glenn flattered, “Your country turns out to be ruled by a great woman.”

“Yes!” Horace continued proudly, “Her Majesty is our jewel, the one favored by the gods.”

Disembarking, Glenn was invited into a tavern-like building to talk at length by Horace, who seemed interested in the group of people who had traveled so far.

Each side presented some information about themselves.

“Oh? You have encountered minotaurs from the northern continent?”

Horace revealed a surprised look.

“Yes, we came precisely from the northern continent.”

“A pathetic bunch.” Horace shook his head, his horns swinging in time with his master’s movements as he waved them in front of Glenn.

“A bunch of poor sods?” Glenn was both a little surprised and a little puzzled.

“Yes.” Horace confirmed, “Since you’ve already met them, I’m sure you know their impression of our superior species, which is presumably all descriptive words like brutality.”

“Uh …… pretty much put.” Glenn admitted honestly.

“But …… we can’t help it.” Horace spread his hands. Blessed be the Lord of Light, Glenn mentally thanked the gods that it wasn’t a hoof or something waving in front of him, but a normal, human-like palm.

“As you probably know from that group of minotaurs, our superior species is now divided into three nations, fighting each other. But while the wars are to be fought, who will do the farm work in the fields.”

He lamented, “There’s no way around it, we can only ”import” some laborers from the Northern Continent.”

“Forgive me as an outsider for being a bit confused, you are of the same race, why can’t you get along with Pin? “

Gran felt very embarrassed as soon as he spoke these words out, the continent he came from was also all human, but there was likewise strife between country and country.

“Oh, I’d actually like to know.” Horace touched the horn on his head like a human scratching the back of his head, “It’s just a pity that I’m not the decision maker, but merely a grassroots official who manages the harbor.”

Glenn’s conversation with Horace lasted two hours, and Horace agreed to their request to trade and resupply in the harbor area.

The Western Exploration Team had spent five days in the sheep people’s harbor when they decided to leave.

It was also at this time that Horace welcomed the owner of the city into his office.

“Honorable Lord Hubbard City Lord, what brings you here?”

Horace was very puzzled, Lord Hubbard City Lord had never cared much about the harbor district, his appearance here was a very strange thing.

The harbor district was built under the queen’s order, the previous superior species were not very interested in the sea, but an order from the royal city ordered the coastal cities to all have their own harbors and to try to use ships for the transportation of supplies between the coastal cities to each other.

Although Lord Hubbard complied with the Queen’s order, he only complied with it, and did not take an interest in the specific affairs, and left it to the officials below him, or those who were not valued by him, such as Horace.

Hubbard is an excellent nobleman, he is handsome, rich, erudite, but at the same time, he is also high-minded and proud, there is an ineffable temperament on his body, which is very attractive, especially very attractive to the opposite sex, and he is also very good at utilizing his own temperament of this kind, and is always haunted by beautiful women of all colors around him.

However, Horace knew that the lord of the city for other members of the opposite sex is just a play, his heart is really interested in, it is that resides in the king of the city of the pearl.

“I heard ……” Hubbard sat in his chair, playing with his gloves, “that we have a group of strange looking guests in our harbor?”

“Oh, are you talking about the hornless men? Has word spread throughout the city?”

“Yes, my dear Horace.”

Hubbard smiled and said, “I was wondering …… if we should invite them to the King’s City?”

“The King’s City?” Horace asked, “Have them as guests in His Majesty’s palace?”

“Guests?” Hubbard looked like he had heard something funny, “No, no, no! I mean, let them make a trip to the royal city as a …… gift.”

“Gift?” Horace was baffled.

“Yes!” Hubbard’s grin widened, “Capture them, put them in cages, and present them as a gift to our Majesty.”

Horace’s face turned ugly all of a sudden, “I think this is very inappropriate, the other side is also a race that possesses a high level of civilization.”

“Watch your words!”

Hubbard said as he stared at Horace.

“Any member of any other race is inferior before us, the Higher Powers.”
