A few days later, a snow-white castle appeared in front of the merchant ship.

Surrey Port City, later generations of Port Balbolesar, where the mouth of the Barboles River is located.

In the last agreement with Aga, Chitard agreed not to occupy Dorbastan, and Karim Khan of the Persian Empire also allowed the place to be highly autonomous.

At the beginning, the place was roughly unified with Surrey as the center, but now it is divided into three parts. The east is centered on Gorgan City and the west is centered on Rasht City, and they are actually doing their own things.

The person who believes in a small Shiite sect, with a great imam who is kind to the goodwill Truqin, is still divided after more than ten years. You can imagine the erosion of the secular world.

The Port of Surrey and the twenty miles around were rented to the Truchens by Dorbastan. Nowadays, the surrounding forces have been wiped out, so naturally there is no need to arrange a large number of warships in various ports. Now there is only one squadron in the entire Caspian Sea, and the central part is located in Surrey, and there is only one battalion of Marines in the castle on the shore.

After Qitad occupied this place, he immediately transported a large amount of white marble from Dagestan and Azerbaijan to build the port into a castle spanning the banks of the Babola River and a radius of about six miles.

Here is the entire Truchen trade window for Dobastan, Persia, and Ashgabat, and it is now very prosperous.

The former Aral Sea pirate and later Truechin Navy officer Rahman returned, becoming the commander of the Caspian Fleet and also served as the mayor of Surrey.

Rahman also has another identity, that is, the messenger of the Huarazi Mo's teachings.

After entering Surrey City, Omubu released Mansur and Rukani, so naturally there were agents and local agents who brought him to follow him.

In the evening, at Rahman's residence, Omubu and Rahman had a long talk.

Before this, Omubu remembered what Qitad said to him before leaving.

"Ombu, I guess the nest of the assassin organization is in Mount Elbors, and the most famous and holy place for all Persians is its highest peak, Mount Damawande. From Surrey, go south along the Baboles River, first to Baboles, and then west to Amorel"

"Then you can cross the mountain along the Halaz River that crosses Mount Elbool, and you can reach Tehran, which is a commonly used road between Persia and Dorbastan. Before you reach Tehran, you can see a majestic snow-capped mountain, an extinct volcano"

"That is Mount Damawande, which is also called Mount Yemawande in the eyes of pagans. It is actually above the Imam, but its original name is Mount Damawande"

"This is the mountain of origin of the Zoroastrian religion. For this snow-capped mountain, you can ask Rahman for advice, and I believe there will be some gains."

Sure enough, when he asked about Damawande Mountain, Rahman indeed started to talk.

"According to the Book of the King, the ancient Persians worshipped the mountains in addition to worshiping fire and water, and Mount Damawande was the most sacred holy mountain they worshipped."

"Whenever disasters come to the earth, the ancient Persians would travel through mountains and rivers and come to Mount Demaven to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony to pray for the protection of the holy mountain. In their opinion, it is precisely because of the eternal protection of Mount Damawande that their lives can be safe for generations."

"In Persian mythology, there is an extremely fierce and cruel giant monster. It has three mouths, three heads and six eyes. It is called Zahak and can be transformed into many forms. It is an accomplice of the Supreme Evil God Angela Manuel."

"It has brought countless great disasters to mankind. In order to prevent human beings from being violated by giant monsters, Faritun, a descendant of the Persian royal family, decided to eliminate the harm for the people. After a fierce battle, he finally subdued the giant monster. In order not to let Zahak harm the world again, Faritun imprisoned it in Mount Damawande."

"Two thousand years after the death of Zoroasd, the founder of my religion, mankind faced another disaster, because Zahak, who was locked in Mount Damawande, broke free from the chains and escaped from the mountain. Zahak began to harm the world again. This time, one-third of the living creatures in the world were tragically killed and the earth was dark."

"Faced with this kind of disaster, the good god Ahura Mazda awakens the hero Garshasb who sleeps in the wilderness of Zaborestan and asks him to remove Zahak. After a fierce battle, the hero Garshasb eventually kills Zahak."

“Damawande Mountain is the only place where Zahak can be held. Because of this, from ancient times to the present, the mountain has occupied a sacred position in the minds of the Persians and all Zoroastrians.”

Omubu felt a little nervous when he heard this.

"Before leaving, Your Majesty couldn't help but explain to me about Damawande Mountain and gave me a Persian name from Shasbu. It seems that Your Majesty had known the various legends of this mountain early in the morning, and most of them were told by Rasim, the former leader of the Zoroastrian Church."

"But this is a holy place for Zoroastrians, not Islamic people. How could the assassin organization choose the secret nest there?"

Then he expressed his doubts.

Rahman said: "After the Arabs conquered Persia, they retained the status of this holy mountain and changed it to Mount Yemavende, which means the Imam mountain, so that the Imams can also regard this mountain as the holy mountain of the Imams."

"The Assashin Sect is also an Islamic sect, so it's not surprising to choose here"

Omubu nodded, "Then have you heard of the organization returning to the world here?"

Rahman shook his head, "It is impossible. Although Islamic Buddhism also regards this mountain as a holy mountain, it rarely takes place to hold major ceremonies. Instead, Zoroastrians go to worship this mountain and never stop..."

"Prayer?"

"I don't know this, but because our country buys wood and frequently buys tea, we often go to Mount Elbock to explore, and we have not heard of any assassin organization."

"The plain here in Surrey is the largest, with lots of precipitation, it is the largest producer of rice, and it also has tea and the richest. Therefore, although the three families are independent, they rely on each other and have close personnel exchanges. If there is any news of a secret assassination, they should not escape the eyes and ears of our country's spies."

"But I heard that at the beginning, the leaders of these three places were not these people now, and they were all assassinated one after another?"

"I know this, but in the end I figured it out. It was done by people inside the temple. There were some doctrine differences, as well as conflicts in teaching and wealth, mainly the latter."

"So Mahmoud was not the leader of Surrey at the beginning?"

"Yes, after the former leader was assassinated, all the imams in the territory elected him to succeed the position of the great leader"

"All?"

"Well, maybe it's because of the old imam Mahmoud's power. It's different from Persia and Ottomans. The religious affairs and mundane affairs of the two places are roughly separated, but here is a combination of politics and religion. The imam is the highest leader at the same time, and Karim Khan didn't care about these things."

Omubu thought carefully, "Is there anything unusual in Surrey Province in the past year?"

"Exception? I have never heard of it. By the way, after Little Mahmoud came to power, he was vigorously forming an army. For this reason, he also bought war horses from Haji, the leader of the eastern Gorgan Province."

"The Rusht province to the west was a famous Persian place where muskets were produced, and he bought muskets from them at the same time"

"Is it a model of our country's rear-mounted flintlock rifle?"

"Yes, but the quality is much worse, mainly because the materials are not up to standard"

"Why didn't Mahmoud buy directly from our country?"
