They sped up, not so long, they came to the gate of the village. While leading the camel, they entered the gate. Chil Sook stopped his steps right in the middle of the gate, while Deok Man continued to walk along the downhill path through which he passed. Deok Man calls Chil Sook to follow him.
Set them up in a 3-story inn. On the ground floor of the inn there is a tavern, the inn is on the 2nd floor, while on the top floor is used by the inn manager.
The atmosphere in the inn is quite crowded, many traders from various countries stop for a night at the inn. Downstream the waiters serve the requests of the restaurant guests.
In that simple tavern, there were various gambling games. Starting cards to dice. The boisterous of the winners of gambling is heard, the sad face of losing gambling is also not small.
Deok Man entered the inn with a bamboo curtain closing the entrance.
"I'm coming, wait!" Deok Man flicked the curtain at the entrance.
Chil Sook follows Deok Man, while watching the bustling atmosphere of the diner.
"Mother!" Deok Man called his mother, speaking Chinese.
"While..." So Hwa complained about falling, her legs tripped.
Looking towards Deok Man. So Hwa fell, her legs tripped. It was fortunate that the bakpao in the tray he held, did not fall to the ground. So Hwa's clumsy nature has not changed. Deok Man saw his mother fall screaming.
"Be careful." Deok Man approached his mother, in Chinese.
"Is Mom okay?" Deok Man holds So Hwa's shoulder, helps his mother stand up, speaks in chinese.
"It's okay." So Hwa answered Deok Man's question, speaking in Chinese.
So Hwa looked towards Chil Sook, nodding in salute. Chil Sook just looked at her coldly. Deok Man walked over to Chil Sook.
"She's my mother." Deok Man said to Chil Sook, smiling.
"He falls down a lot." Deok Man said again, a smile never left his face.
"20 taels one meal, 50 for three, and 50 for lodging." Deok Man raises his hand, asking Chil Sook for payment.
"I told you, I don't want to go to the cottage to stay over." Chil Sook replied to DeokbMan coldly.
"Don't you say you want to join the merchants of Rome?" Deok Man lowered his hand, while still staring at Chil Sook.
"Mother! We have customers." Deok Man yelled, gulping down at his mother.
"Yes..." So Hwa answered while serving the tavern guests.
A person dressed in white striped red wearing a typical European headgear, walking behind the Deok Man. His eyes stared at Deok Man assuringly, continuing to call.
"Ohh... The deokman!" Call the stranger.
Feeling called Deok Man turned around, then looked towards Chil Sook.
"Just go with my mom." Deok Man said to Chil Sook.
"Cartan Ajeosshi!" Deok Man shouted, then ran towards uncle Cartan and hugged him.
"Can you come with me." So Hwa greeted while carrying a small lamp, speaking in Chinese.
Chil Sook who looked at Deok Man, then turned his body following So Hwa.
"The quomodo te habuisti? Qare tantum tarda habuisti?" Uncle Cartan asked with a smile. [Latin (How long has it been? Why are you so late? )]
"Super monticulum vade dictum, cotidie te expectavi!" Deok Man answered Uncle Cartan's question. [Latin (I wait for you on the Mount every night)]
"Ego etiam, te videre volebam." Uncle Cartan said to Deok Man. [Latin (I miss you too.)]
"Me videor patruum mori." Deok Man answered Cartan's uncle. [Latin (I thought I'd die from a long wait.)]
"Tantum tempus te expectavi, etiam hodie ex quo venio, unde venis?" Deok Man smiled continuously asking. [Latin (I've been waiting today, where have you been?)]
"I'm sorry, I traded in the Mongols, so I took the Dunhuang route*." Uncle Cartan answered Deok Man's question.
[*Dunhuang is Gansu Province, a famous oasis and one of the main routes of the silk line.]
"Wow! Your Gyerim language has improved!" Deok Man praises uncle Cartan.
"REally?!" Uncle Cartan laughed with excitement.
"Your mother taught me well." Uncle Cartan said and laughed again.

"I wrote it all down, so I can ask you.." Deok Man handed the book to Cartan's uncle.
"Aiyoo's... You read everything?" Uncle Cartan asked Deok Man.
"How many times have you read it?" Uncle Cartan turned back the book Deok Man.
"If you open it like that, it breaks!" Deok Man snatches his book from the hands of Cartan's uncle.
"This is my treasure." Deok Man answered Uncle Cartan's question.
"I think the world is made up of sand and stars." Deok Man said with a smile.
"But since you read these books..." Deok Man looked at uncle Cartan.
"Why?!" Uncle Cartan asked and smiled.
"I feel like I'm getting out of control." Deok Man replied while holding his chest.
"Yourselves?! Why?" Uncle Cartan asked Deok Man.
"I don't know." Deok Man answered Uncle Cartan while shaking his head.
"I just think there's a big Kingdom across the desert and they have the same sun and stars as us..." Deok Man smiled shaking his head.
"Then making books, and cultivating land, is amazing." Deok Man said and smiled.
"Ah... Ajeoji. This.this. If you read it here..." Deok Man shows it to Cartan's uncle.
"This man, this man.the story is very interesting!" Deok Man chattered and smiled widely.
"Ehh. but he was killed." Uncle Cartan stroked the book.
"Stay away! The hero who fought to protect his country, It was so great!" Deok Man replied by moving his hand.
"You spent your whole life in this place. You seem to enjoy things like this." Uncle Cartan smiled.
"It's not that. It's not as great as you imagine." Uncle Cartan smilingly rubbed Deok Man's head.
"You're just afraid that I'm asking to be taken there? ain't you?!" Deok Man smiled as he nodded his head in excitement.
Some merchants entered the diner, they threw bamboo curtains at the entrance of the tavern. Third, look around. After finding the figure sought then shouted.
"Cartans!" The distended merchant called out to his uncle Cartan in Chinese.
They walked closer towards Cartan and Deok Man.
"You!" Uncle Cartan replied in Chinese.
"There's no time to relax here. A decree Banning the Tea trade has already been issued!" Spoken distended merchant in Chinese.
"What's? Really true?" Uncle Cartan asked in Chinese.
"Of course it's true." The potbellied merchant answered Uncle Cartan's question in Chinese.
"True, Tea is forbidden." Long-bearded traders speak Chinese.
"Deokmann." Uncle Cartan turned to face Deok Man.
"Why is there an edict like this?!" Uncle Cartan asked Deok Man using Gyerim language.
"Here was a new landlord, Since he came, he immediately ordered that the tea merchants be beheaded." Deok Man answered Cartan's uncle's question in Gyerim.
"What?!" Uncle Cartan was surprised to hold his head.

On the 1st floor of the inn..
Deok Man, Cartan's uncle and the three merchants sat around the table. They discussed the recent phenomenon of banning the tea trade out of the area.
"Why did he issue such an order?" Ask a black trader, in Mainland Chinese.
"According to Chen Daren*, the new Master wants to monopolize everything." Deok Man replied in Chinese.
[*Daren is Honorary rank]
"So, to master the tea trade in this area." Shouted the long-bearded merchant in Mainland Chinese.
Cartan took the tea and sipped it, the distended-bellied merchant listened to the words carefully, the black merchant scratched his head.
"He forbids others to trade." Deok Man explained carefully, in Chinese.
"What?! No way this is unacceptable!" Bearded traders hit the table, speaking Mainland Chinese.
"He did it because he wanted to get more soldiers." Deok Man, replied in Chinese.
"So, what?! He forbid the tea trade to raise his army?!" Uncle Cartan, translating Deok Man into mainland Chinese.
"We spent 12 months to get here. If we don't get tea, we're out! Finish up! We have to fight him!" The angry distended merchant.
"of course! Gotta be!" Continue the long-bearded trader, using the Cantonese dialeg.
"He can't get away with this." The Egyptian merchant shouted, speaking Latin.
"I agree!" Black traders, speaking Chinese.
They then simultaneously took a cup and toasted the tea together. Deok Man just looked at them stunned.
Seriate.
