In The Smurf Piper story, Hamelin explains to his brother about the eastern regions of Asia, where the people appear advanced in weaponry after they discuss another attempt at invading the good king' kingdom. It is also assumed where he aquired his rifle (he calls it his fire lance), which he reveals before he gets defeated by Johan and Peewit. The merchant Ezlo also mentions that he wishes to explore the Eastern region of Asia in the ending of the story to discover new forms of musical arts before he departs.
