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! ”
