Chapitre 419: Contact with the Sulawesi Confederation

18th November 1656

Sulawesi Confederation, Palopo

The three decision-makers of Sulawesi, Sultan Abdul Rahman of Gowa, Raja Ali of Bone, and Sultan Mohammed Yusuf of Ternate, received a peculiar guest brought in by a resident of Makassar.

The guest was peculiar because he was not from their land but from a faraway empire with which they had no connection. Although they were a Southeast Asian country and knew about the Indian subcontinent and its prominence, they did not know much about what had happened within their neighbours, much less the subcontinent. The last thing they knew about the situation in the subcontinent was that the Mughal Empire was reigning supreme and the Vijayanagar Empire was following behind.

"Let's see what this person has to say, he came such a long way to meet us after all," Abdul Rahman said, his eyes filled with curiosity.
