Chapter 3 Settling in a Different World
The night in the jungle was eerily quiet, except for the soft chirping of unknown insects. Lin Qian, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", has never had the experience of camping in the wild, but he slept soundly.
In the dream, he was still in the university dormitory, and several roommates were gagging.
"Lin Qian, let's go, go to the Internet café!" They suddenly planned to go to the Internet.
"My ID card is not old enough, and I still have a few months to go. Lin Qian went to school relatively early and skipped kindergarten, so he went to college at the age of 17.
"Borrow one from the dormitory next door! ”
"Okay, huh?"
The dream was suddenly interrupted, and it was Neuer pushing himself.
"Shhhhh
This may be the only word in the two worlds that has the same pronunciation and meaning, so Lin Qian understood it as soon as possible.
Opening his confused eyes, the sound of fighting and the wind also came from Lin Qian's ears. The black-robed man was long gone, the flames had been extinguished, and even the traces of the ashes were gone.
Neuer led Lin Qian lightly to the edge of the jungle, where they had placed their wagon. The beast was gone, but the carriage was still there, and beside it stood a circle of men who were also black-robed and black-masked, and inside it seemed to be the black-robed man, but with an extra staff in his hand.
Thinking that the black-robed man had met the enemy, Lin Qian noticed that there were already a few people lying down next to him, motionless, could it be that he was dead?
A man stood out from the besieging crowd, muttering words in his mouth, and in response to him was the black-robed man raising his staff. Suddenly, the wind blew around, getting bigger and bigger, blowing everything in front of me a little blurred.
The besieging crowd was in a bit of a commotion, and the leading besiegers couldn't hold on after trying to recite the incantation, and were driven back in the direction of the carriage by the two. The black-robed man's staff danced lightly, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and there were several sounds of flesh and blood being cut and screams from the crowd.
Suddenly, the carriage exploded into flames, and the black-robed man immediately stood his staff on the ground, forming a transparent barrier, firmly blocking the fire and wood chips from the barrier.
After a long time, the fire gradually subsided, and the besieging crowd was gone. The black-robed man waved his hand to extinguish the embers, dragging his tired body slowly towards the jungle.
Neuer and Lin Qian walked over head-on and saw the terrifying face of the black-robed man. It turned out that his mask was gone, and his old face had several scars, and two azure eyes were wrapped in a pile of wrinkles that squeezed each other, shining like night pearls in the dark night.
"Let's go!" the black-robed man said briefly to them, mostly at Neuer, of course. Outside the jungle, the black-robed man waved his staff lightly, his back straight, with indescribable confidence and relaxation.
The white light flashed, and another giant beast appeared, covered in thick fur, and its eyes were covered by hair, leaving only a few gaps.
The black-robed man drove the beast to his knees, climbed up, and stepped on it like a horse. Neuer was also very excited, and climbed up to sit on the beast's back as well.
The beast's back was very broad, and its thick fur was very soft, and Lin Qian also tried to climb up, but his feet were too slippery on the beast, and he didn't succeed several times.
The beast glanced back, and then directly lifted Lin Qian up with its thick tail, and tilted it into the sky, and Lin Qian slid his back with his tail. Falling on the beast's back, Lin Qian got up and met Neuer's smiling eyes, slightly embarrassed, and also straddled the beast's back.
It seems to be a bulky body, but the speed of the beast is extremely fast, its feet on the ground "thump", and the long hair on its body rises high with the wind.
It took Lin Qian a long time to open his eyes, but he was soon obscured by Neuer's long and disheveled hair. Lin Qian saw the hat on Neuer's white robe and helped him put it on, while covering his flying hair.
Neuer turned his head strangely, and the hair on his forehead hit Lin Qian's face. Knowing what was going on, Neuer laughed, and Lin Qian smiled back.
The road seems to have no end, through the jungle, over the farmland, around the mountains, and across the endless grasslands. Neuer had already fallen asleep on the back of the black-robed man, and Lin Qian was lying on his back with the beast's tail on his back. It only took a few hours for the two teenagers to go from the initial excitement to the current exhaustion. The black-robed man changed his mask again, covering his old face tightly, with only a pair of glowing eyes, staring at anything that might appear in front of him.
When he opened his eyes, the dazzling sunlight hit his eyes, producing a feeling of dizziness, followed by a sudden feeling of weightlessness, Lin Qian struggled to stand up, but sat on the ground. The darkness in front of him lasted for a while, and Lin Qian slowly got up, and found that the black-robed man was striding towards a village in front of him, and Neuer, like Lin Qian, had just gotten up from his fall.
Stepping through the creaking wooden door, Lin Qian finally found traces of iron, which were a pile of weapons: short swords, long spears, square shields, and unknown iron tools. There were a few teenagers in the courtyard, slightly older than Lin Qian and the two of them, who first saluted respectfully to the black-robed man, and then saw that the two people behind them showed strange eyes.
Without saying a word, the black-robed man walked straight to the room opposite, and did not reach out his hand, but the door opened automatically. In Lin Qian's eyes before, there was no doubt about the automatic door, but now he knew that it was magic.
Neuer gave a friendly smile to the group of teenagers, and then followed the black-robed man into the house, and Lin Qian lowered his head and followed.
"Neuer, from this day on, I will be your teacher, you and him find a room in the empty house behind you, and remember not to go out of this courtyard casually. The black-robed man's attitude became friendly, but Neuer could tell from his stiff pronunciation that he was not used to speaking in that tone.
Neuer bowed respectfully, and Lin Qian seemed to understand, and learned from Neuer to make a salute.
"Go quickly, if you don't understand life, ask your senior brother, I don't have time to teach you this. The black-robed man still showed his true face, and his attitude became very unfriendly.
Neuer beckoned Lin to move outside, and a group of teenagers outside were also staring. Neuer thought for a moment, bowed to them, and said, "Hello senior brothers!"
"Hello junior brother!" "Hello junior brother!" The group of teenagers responded one after another, but they could be seen to be enthusiastic.
The estate is larger than expected, and is surrounded by a mountain with a view of the green trees on the mountain. Neuer found the most remote house in the backyard house, then pushed the door in, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Neuer turned his head and pointed to the house, and then made a wiping motion, Lin Qian understood that he had to clean the house. The room is not small, there are two beds, and the rest of the furnishings are very simple. Is this your future home? It seems that you can only live here for a while.
They hadn't eaten at noon, and both of them were a little hungry, but cleaning the house was still quite easy. Later, a senior brother sent two quilts, and someone sent a plate of "squid" to save the two of them from starvation.
Having fallen asleep in the morning, neither of them had been sleepy after lunch, and Neuer was anxious to communicate with those he had summoned, and took his notes and pen from his wide cuffs, ready to teach him words.
"That's my name: Nouil. Neuer wrote on the blank page. Everyone is always a little dissatisfied with their own name, even if the other party can't understand the meaning of the name, there are at least a thousand people in the world called Neuer, and such a popular name is the first choice of many families with low culture.
Lin Qian took the pen and paper and wrote a "forest" squarely. It is a long, slender barrel similar to chalk, and with each stroke, the paper is filled with powdery black particles, and when you finish writing, your hands are covered with black powder.
Neuer took the paper and studied it carefully, and the word was square, and it was impossible to see the reason, but it had its own rules, and it did not look like it was drawn randomly.
In addition to the name, Neuer could think of teaching Lin Qian everything he saw, and other than that, he really couldn't think of any simple and easy-to-understand teaching. Neuer's cultural classes are not good, but in this world, as long as you know words, not many people are willing to spend effort in cultural classes. In addition to religious books, the most popular books on the market are magic books, which do not have many rare words.
Language and writing are fundamental to understanding the world, and Lin Qian knows it clearly. In order to find a way to return to Earth as soon as possible, Lin Qian had to learn another "foreign language", although the seemingly incompetent "teacher" in front of him was always a little funny.
In the evening, a senior brother came to call them for dinner. This was the sumniest meal Lin Qianzi had ever seen in this world, with fragrant porridge, exquisite dishes, and a large plate of meat from unknown creatures.
More than a dozen people gathered around a large table, which was probably the welcome banquet, and of course Neuer's self-introduction was indispensable.
"My name is Neuer, the child of Brunie, a merchant in Feynman City, and I love magic and I want to be a great magician. This is ......" Neuer didn't know how to speak, "his name is 'Lin', I don't know his background, he ...... I don't understand our language, it doesn't seem to be ...... People on the mainland. ”
Neuer couldn't imagine any other world than this one, but he knew that in addition to the largest continent in the world, there were many unknown humans in the endless ocean of the south, and he guessed that Lin was one of them.
This explanation made the black-robed man, Mr. Lipsus, very satisfied, he didn't want this group of teenagers to have some opinions about Lin from other worlds, and it was easier to explain that he was from the Southern Islands than from other worlds.
Neuer's introduction won the applause of the senior brothers, and it stands to reason that Lin Qian didn't need to introduce himself if he didn't understand the language. But Lin Qian still got up after the applause and prepared to introduce it, which made everyone puzzled.
Lin Qian thought for a moment: "I know you don't understand, even if I'm scolding you, you will applaud." But I especially want to introduce myself, I am not from this world, I have nothing to do with this world, and I should be sent to study. For my safety, I probably won't ever tell you the truth in the future, so this may be the only truth I'll ever say to you, thank you. ”
