Chapter 333: Three Letters
Translator: Lonelytree
[Hello, Mat Hew.
[I’m Lumiere.
[I’m sorry you can’t help me continue to bloom the Oak Chamber of
Commerce…]
Matthew felt his scalp go numb after only scanning three lines.
Lumiere’s handwriting was not very nice, but it was obvious that he was writing very seriously. Every word was written very clearly.
However, the large number of typos and loopholes in the grammar made Matthew, who was good at picking out the main points from the junk messages, a little confused.
Matthew tried hard to decipher it for a long time. With the help of Language Proficiency and Text Order Identification, he gradually translated the encrypted letter into smooth and readable content.
[Hello, Matthew.
[I am Lumiere.
[I’m sorry, but I can’t continue to help the Oak Chamber of Commerce.
[After you left, I tried to lead more clansmen to the city of Kondor, but this action was strongly rejected by the people of Kondor.
[We were chased out.
[Due to the headhunter tribe’s aggressive actions in the past, the natives of the Gold Coast are not very friendly to us.
[Mr. Yu Lian had tried his best to mediate, but it seemed that the results were not great.
[In the end, we could only retreat to the rainforest.
[Fortunately, the Oak Trade Union wasn’t implicated. This was the only thing that made me feel gratified.
[The city of Kordor cannot tolerate us, so we can only find another way out.
[This made me realize that it was impossible to bring my people out of the rainforest all at once. I had to make a way and then replicate it for them.
[The South was not the way out. The west was barren deserts and high mountains, and the east was the sea.
[I can only go north alone.
[After leaving the rainforest, I went to several cities.
[However, those cities, such as Lake Water City, had more or less rejected the Jangos.
[When I passed by Marsh Water City, I even got a plague. I had a stomachache for two days, and I plucked all the leaves on the side of the road. [Fortunately, my physique was not bad, and I managed to endure it.
[Since then, I’ve planned to go further.
[I want to go to a place where people don’t know about the Jangos, slowly integrate into their society, and learn their knowledge and way of life.
[At the same time.
[I have to work hard to earn money too.
[When I left the rainforest, about six or seven girls told me that they were pregnant.
[Of course, this was great news.
[How could the future king of the rainforest not have a bunch of children?
[They are going to inherit my throne!
[Even though I don’t have a throne yet, I’m working hard to build one!
[The cost of raising a child was not an unsolvable problem. It did not cost much to raise a child in the tribe.
[Moreover, in the tradition of the Black Banyan Tribe, the children born by the woman were raised by her uncles.
[But I don’t like this tradition.
[I prefer to be like you northerners, where the father bears the cost and responsibility of raising the child.
[I spent a lot of money on the elders of the tribe.
[I gave the rest of the money to my women.
[The money you gave me is almost spent.
[So, I walked north along the coastline while looking for a suitable job.
[This was not an easy task.
[I didn’t have the skills to make a living in society, so I could only sell myself as a labourer.
[Many places that hired people would deliberately lower the price because they saw that I was a foreigner.
[I worked as a porter at Deep Blue Harbor for three days.
[In the end, when the bill was settled, the other party only paid half of my salary.
[I was so angry that I really wanted to throw that fat guy into the sea to feed the fish.
[However, when I think of my clansmen, my women, and my unborn children, I feel like I’m going to die.
[I chose to swallow my anger.
[I remembered his face.
[The future king of the rainforest was not to be bullied!
[I swear I will soak him in the water prison for three days and three nights!
[That day would come.
[After leaving Deep Blue Harbor, I walked along the small roads inland for a while. I happened to hear the news of recruiting workers in a tavern. They offered high salaries. I went to try and found that it was really not bad! [I’m writing to you from this working level called the Black Rock Mine. [The work here was very hard, but the money was really a lot.
[I work 15 hours a day, and the most I can do is 19 hours.
[Normally, I could earn 4 Gold, but at most, I could earn 6 Gold.
[The welfare in the mine was very good, and they even provided food and accommodation.
[I’ve done some calculations. As long as I work here for a year, I’ll be able to save up close to 2,000 gold! [10000 gold in five years!
[Heavens!
[This was really a good place to earn money.
[I can’t wait to share this news with my clansmen.
[Unfortunately, the place where they lived didn’t have any mail, so I had nowhere to share my joy. At this moment, I thought of you, my friend Matthew!
[I think it’s time to write you a letter.
[To apologize and to share the joy.
[Unfortunately, my mastery of the common language is not very good. The first half of this letter was written under the guidance of the supervisor.
[Oh, right, I forgot to tell you.
[The supervisor in the mine was very good to me and never whipped me, but I often saw him whip others.
[I guess that’s because the others are always slacking off.
[She not only taught me to read and write the common language but also always invited me to visit her house on the days when I was out of the mine.
[I dare not go.
[At present, the child support fees for those six or seven children are already making me feel a little strained.
[I have to restrain myself.
[In comparison, my relationship With my colleagues is not very harmonious..]
