Enter the Ambassador Petrov. He arrives with his assistant on a boat and hitches a ride on horses to Border Town.
Chen invites him for a luxurious dinner. Petrov is shocked by how much Border Town has grown from the shady mining town it once was to a fortified estate that could even provide fresh meat and vegetables for everyone.
