Alright fine. For now it seems that this Maumigny guy doesn't want to fuck us over. As a precaution I have ordered scouts to watch over his pretty fort to make sure that no bullshit happens but for now I have been spending my weeks exchanging language with him as well as ordering the other risuners to not attack. At least for now.
He explained that he was simply under orders from someone that clearly doesn't know shit about diplomacy but from my knowledge of their way of life they pretty much have to carry out their orders. Such ridiculous strict customs unlike the freedom of risuners but I'm not going to judge. For now I am still keeping hope up that he is actually here to help.
I decided that if I am to trust him I should probably show it. So I decided to offer him an invite to the village. It was a massive fucking pain in the ass to get him up the trees. Nobody can climb as well as we do so it took some effort but when we finally got him up he decided to talk to our elder. Makes sense since he is on a diplomacy mission.
I made sure to tell everyone to treat him as an honored guest and when he came up to meet everyone people were very nice. I should have expected him declining nut exchanging, there are so few people who can appreciate the fine pleasure of exchanging nuts like us. After al the formalities were done he mentioned something about wanting to go to our capital.
Apparently he didn't realize that we don't actually have one so I was gonna say Pasuma but he insisted on Silvanus for some reason. My reasoning is he just wants to take a tour of the country so fine I guess I can allow it. First off we need to get to Panrong since it is directly on route and will give him a sense of how big our major cities are. From my understanding, other nations have much larger cities but Panrong is still very well developed especially with all the stone they have from mining operations.
So that is it. We are going to Panrong and he is bringing an expedition team of translators and some guards. Hopefully he likes Panrong compared to my village since he seemed to not like the idea of a small village around trees. I could see it in his face but he was at least kind enough to show respect. Definitely leaning on trusting him more now if he willing to accept our ways.
This will be the first time I visit a major city as well. I never really strayed too far from the village but now here I am going across the entire countryside along who was an enemy a month ago. Life is really fucking weird but I guess you just have to roll with it. Oh well, maybe I will become famous or something and get paid in lots of nuts.
