Lindeworm's words stimulated As, and he immediately licked all the fine tendrils in his hand into his mouth.

"There's nothing you can't eat. A great being can eat others, so I can't eat him?" After Ass finished speaking, he grabbed a few more from the pile of roots beside him, threw them into his mouth and munched on them. Even if his mouth was pricked with blood, he didn't care.

"How dare you do this?" said Linde's tail as he rolled towards As.

Ace had no power to resist in front of the Linde worm at all. What's more, because of the attack of the roots, he is still quite weak at the moment. So what Ace can do is to grab as many roots as he can, and stuff them into his mouth desperately.

Lindworm's tail curled angrily around As, and then lifted him upside down and shook it vigorously, as if trying to make Ass spit out everything he had eaten.

"That's enough!" Catherine couldn't stand it, and she cried out, "it's not a circus, and there is no need for clowns to perform. You both give me some of the quieter. Lind worm, let him down!"

Linde Worm threw down Ace and said aggrievedly, "Honorable master, don't you see what he did? ”

"Hmm. Catherine nodded and said, "As, you really shouldn't. Don't eat any more, gather those roots, and talk about it later. And if you eat it now, you may not be able to digest it. ”

"Ahh Linde said dissatisfiedly, "You are pampering him, how can this work?" ”

"Oh, Lindebug, are you questioning me?" asked Catherine coldly.

"Ah, no, no. How dare I question you, dear master. Lin Deworm hurriedly changed his tone.

"Hmph. Then it's up to you to pull out all the remaining roots from him. ”

This command made Linde worm depressed, but Ace secretly snickered. Catherine is still biased towards him, isn't she?

In fact, the behavior of female mages is subconscious. At this time, Catherine's entire attention was focused on the gardener, who was motionless. She didn't have time to think about the feelings of Linde and As. Intuition tells Catherine that the odd guy is brewing something.

Sure enough, the palm carrying the eyeball was pinched again, and this time it took a full three minutes for the palm to open again. The dripping eyeballs were gone, replaced by a large mouth with thick blue lips.

The mouth squirmed in the palm of its hand for a few moments, opening and closing, sticking out its tongue and licking its teeth. In short, I did enough weird moves.

"It's a mouth!" said Lindworm, stopping her work of pulling out the roots, and slipped into Catherine's ear.

But Lindworm immediately added: "Dear master, I mean, I see the mouth for the first time. ”

"The first time you saw a mouth?" Catherine frowned, "are you sure?"

"No, no, in fact, there are mouths in my inherited memories, but I haven't seen them with my own eyes. Linde worm hurriedly explained.

"Are there any other organs besides the eyes and mouth?"

"Yes. Linde thought for a moment and said, "And the nose, the ears, the tail, the genitals, there is only so much I can remember." But I've only seen a nose once, except for the eyes. In fact, the gardener ......"

Catherine waved her hand suddenly, preventing Lindworm from continuing. Because of the gardener's mouth, he began to "gurgle" and talk.

He didn't speak very quickly, but his pronunciation was slurred. After saying five or six sentences, the gardener closed his mouth and re-clenched his palm.

Catherine narrowed her eyes and turned to the goblin scholar to ask, "Professor, do you understand?"

The old professor had already come to Catherine's side, and he had been listening very attentively.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the Ancient Gods, at least most of them. It turns out that in addition to the dwarves, there are also races that have retained the pronunciation of the ancient gods. With that, the goblin took out his encyclopedia and flipped to the first page.

"Goblin scholars have different opinions on how to pass on knowledge. The old professor stroked the first page and said, "Professor Tooth Forgot at Home, thinks that it should be recorded in the language of the elves." His views were once agreed upon by almost all scholars in the Goblin Academy's Scholars Association. However, I disagree. ”

"I think you must have a very compelling reason. Catherine knew that the old professor wouldn't talk about it for no reason.

"The spirit of the Goblin Academy is to strive to record and disseminate all knowledge. If it's just a record, you can use any text. But since it still needs to be disseminated, how can it be convenient for others to come to the Encyclopedia Library to use the goblin language that only a few goblin scholars can understand?" The old professor's words sounded frank and magnificent, and even Catherine was amazed in her heart.

"Therefore, my great encyclopedia is recorded in the ancient elven language, which is recognized as the most authoritative, the most widely used, and the most accurate semantic expression by all ethnic groups on the mainland. And, just in case, I've compiled a root comparison table on the first ten pages of the encyclopedia—a root comparison table between the five most widely used scripts and the Old Elves. So that even if one day in the future, the ancient elven language is lost. As long as any of the other five languages are still in use, they can be reinterpreted through study and research. ”

"Professor, I admire your approach. Catherine leaned forward slightly, paying her respects to the Goblin Academy, "But now is not the time to discuss the spirit of the Great Goblin Academy. What do you have to say about the current situation? ”

"You're impatient, Bosetto Iffel. The old professor snapped the book shut, "I'm actually more curious, how can you not understand those ancient gods? ”

"Nope. Catherine shook her finger, "Professor, you made two mistakes. First, I am not Bossetoiffel, and there is no Bosseto Ifel in this world. From the perspective of this human body, I am now the female mage Catherine. Second, why do I understand the ancient gods, when they are called gods, and how could he learn their language when he hated the self-righteous gods the most in his memory?"

"Catherine, who is Bosetto Ifil, and what does it have to do with you?" asked Ass interjecting at an inopportune moment.

Catherine glanced at As, who was arranging the roots that had been pulled out, and said in a rare gentle tone, "Do what you have to do, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." There are some things that make no difference whether you know it or not, and there are some things that you know that will only bring trouble. If you're still loyal and reliable to me, try to be stronger. When you are strong enough, you will have the power to solve your troubles and the power to make your own choices. ”

Ace didn't seem to understand, but he nodded anyway and put the question in his stomach.

"Professor, let's get down to business. Catherine gestured to the gardener, who was still clenched into a fist in the distance, "I think it's important for us to understand what the gardener is saying. I don't want to stay in prison forever, there are so many very important things waiting for me to accomplish. Do you see what I mean?"

"And don't you have a lot of work to accomplish and a lot of mysteries to solve? Catherine paused and said in an accentuated tone, "I can get you out of here." ”

"Female mage, I understand your thoughts, and you want to use my knowledge. The goblin held his head high and looked at Catherine at eye level, "Goblin University scholars are simple, but not stupid. A lot of goblin university scholars don't like to answer other people's questions, do you know why?"

"Because of motivation. The goblin put his hands behind his back and answered himself, his large encyclopedia floating in front of him, "Most people ask us questions, not to satisfy their curiosity, but to obtain information and information that can be used. They don't think about the questions and answers they have been asked, they learn and translate them into their own knowledge. So it won't be long before these people come to us again and ask similar or even the same questions. Over time, the goblin scholars became information mongers like those damned outcasts. ”

"I originally wanted to tell you about the relationship between the Ancient Elves and the Ancient Gods, giving you the opportunity to learn and master the Ancient Languages on your own. "But it seems that you have no interest." If you just want to know what the gardener said, you can ask Linde, I am not your translator. ”

"Professor, since you can understand, tell the master honestly. If I could have understood, I would have reported it to my master, so why wait for you to preach here. Linde, who was already impatient with listening, immediately reprimanded the goblin scholar, "No matter what knowledge, it is used." The difference is nothing more than who uses it and how it is used. The host is willing to ask you, indicating that you are valuable. What a blessing to be able to be useful to the esteemed owner. You should show your worth. But what are you doing? A half-undead creature pretending to teach his master a lesson, who do you think you are?"

"I'm the chief scholar of the Twelve Toes - Goblin Academy. The goblin put the large encyclopedia in front of him into his robe, turned and walked towards As, "As you said, knowledge is nothing more than who uses it and how to use it. My knowledge is meant to be disseminated, nothing more. ”

The old professor didn't look back, and disappeared into the air.
