Chapter 539
At the captains’ cries for written documentation, the interpreters spoke to the customs officials.
“They’re asking for written documentation… but there’s an issue.”
“What sort of issue?”
“Letters from Europeans working in the research institute must undergo mandatory censorship.”
The customs officials’ expressions hardened at the interpreter’s words.
“Are you saying there could be problems if we provide written documentation?”
The interpreters responded with troubled expressions.
“Of course, for the research institute, it’s because many of their studies are confidential. However, couldn’t documents we thoughtlessly translate potentially provide other nations with clues to discover our secrets?”
“That’s true. Well then, it would be best to inquire with our superiors first.”
