Chapter 10: The Legendary Lilliput
Bai Yujing leaned on the sofa, the program on the TV made a noisy sound, and Bai Yujing kept opening the contents of the diary to make sure that there was nothing missing, and then closed the diary from half a century ago and put it on the table.
Bai Yujing picked up the keychain again, according to the radar prompt, this thing should also be related to the Lilliputian, then it could only be the small backpack hanging on it, Bai Yujing took the backpack off the keychain, the backpack was very exquisite, and it was not a zipper, but a rope to tie the bag mouth.
Bai Yujing deliberately used a magnifying glass to carefully observe this small backpack, each small compartment, there are small stitches, and small patterns are embroidered on it, Bai Yujing even found that there are a few special symbols on the side that I don't know what they mean.
"Is it the text of the Lilliputian?" Bai Yujing couldn't help but guess.
As soon as Bai Yujing thought of this, he immediately opened the strange creature hunter system, clicked on the mall, and searched for the Lilliputian language in the skill, but what came out was a Lillipu Chinese, Bai Yujing was stunned, and immediately remembered what this Lillipu country was, it was the name of Lilliputian in Gulliver's travels.
"Lilliput: Absent!" Bai Yujing looked at it, he didn't expect that there was really this kind of language, but the system didn't seem to include it, and the language skills seemed to be priced according to the influence of the language and the number of users, among which Chinese and English were the most expensive, and some small languages were relatively cheap, this Lilliput, if there was storage, it was estimated that the price would not be too expensive.
Bai Yujing didn't use points to exchange for money, because he thought it was a very stupid and uncost-effective behavior, whether it was to exchange points for physical attributes and skills, it was not something that could be exchanged for that little bit of money, Bai Yujing decided that he didn't want to do such a stupid thing when he really didn't have money.
So at present, thirty points are still there, and when Bai Yujing was thinking about how to figure out the meaning of this kind of text, he saw a pop-up window appear in the strange creature hunter system, and he could use 5 points to turn on the text dictionary translation function.
Bai Yujing thought about this for a while, it was still very cost-effective, and immediately clicked open, and the window immediately began to change, and slowly froze down two squares, one side is the input, and the other side is the output.
Bai Yujing, who often uses computer translation functions, must know what this is, and immediately chose Lillipu on one side, and then burned the text on the thumb-sized backpack one by one, and chose Chinese output on the other side.
It seems that I am also very unfamiliar with this kind of text, and the translation function page began to read and compare the strips continuously, and finally determined the meaning of these symbols.
Bai Yujing looked at the words on the thumb-sized backpack again, which should be a person's name.
"Alice!" Bai Yujing said silently.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of fireworks suddenly came from outside the window, and Bai Yujing looked at the clock hanging on the wall, only to realize that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Bai Yujing stood up and stood at the window looking at the place where the fireworks were raised, this should be the fireworks released at the end of the Military Music Festival, Bai Yujing immediately remembered Emma, by the way, the diary did not write a clear and detailed address, only some descriptions of the surrounding environment, Emma has lived here for many years, and should be able to find the corresponding location.
Although the diary says that the Lilliputians have moved away a long time ago, and half a century has passed, the location of their move is likely to be not far away, and a trip to the past will definitely be rewarding.
Bai Yujing then used his notebook to start sorting out the pictures he took today, selecting the pictures he thought were very good, adjusting the light, light and shade, and tone, and then accompanied by text, and posted a long Weibo out.
Among them are photos of myself and Emma, photos of myself being startled by the eccentric art performer, reunion with Emma, scenes inside Edinburgh Castle, various monuments in the castle, performances on the Royal Mile, Chinese food next to the train station, Ah San's peculiar performance, and a foreign little loli peeking with her mother in the Princes Street Garden.
Writing and writing, Bai Yujing found out, but in just one day, his life was full of so many surprises and unimaginable, looking at the photo of himself and Emma who was full of vitality on the top of Scott Tower, Bai Yujing couldn't help laughing.
In the end, he also put on his picture in the National Gallery of Scotland, Bai Yujing thought about it for a while, and then listed his daily expenses list, so that if others watched it, they probably had some references.
Determine the name of this Weibo, and it will be called - First day in Edinburgh: Castle tour with a blonde guide
I feel that this name is hateful, but Bai Yujing just wants to use it, needless to say, Woo Se.
After posting this Weibo, Bai Yujing also felt unusually tired, turned off the lights, and fell asleep in bed all of a sudden, which is very rare for Bai Yujing, who often has insomnia and recognizes the bed.
---------------
"Yesterday's performance was so exciting, the short skirts were fluttering, the grand military parade was so spectacular, by the way, I also saw your Chinese performance team, wearing green military uniforms:" Emma also stood up and showed Bai Yujing yesterday's scene, imitating the performers playing trumpets.
Bai Yujing got up late in the morning, so he called Emma as soon as he got up, afraid that she would have other things to do and leave, and it would be more troublesome to find her at that time, but I didn't expect Emma to be an anxious person, as soon as she received Bai Yujing's call, she hurried over.
Emma's father's home is not far from Edinburgh's New Town, Emma is a university student, but it is currently in the summer vacation stage, so Emma has a lot of free time during this time, and she will not start school until the end of August.
Bai Yujing ordered a breakfast for Emma in the hotel, and his own one was provided for free, I have to say that the breakfast in the hotel is very rich and exquisite, but think about the price, well, it's still quite dark.
Bai Yujing took a sip of pure fresh juice, feeling that there was still a little difference between it and the three yuan a bottle on the roadside in China, Emma, a foodie, was buried in food at the moment.
"Emma, I need your help!" Bai Yujing took out the diary belonging to Will Hackman from his bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Emma.
Emma was stunned for a moment, then carefully picked up the journal: "Oh, what is this? An old notebook?"
Bai Yujing nodded: "Yes, and the purpose of my visit to Edinburgh this time is also related to this diary." ”
Bai Yujing immediately walked to Emma's side after speaking, picked up the notebook, and then turned to one of the pages and read it to Emma.
"I seem to have found a little man in the house, a little man the size of a thumb, he was stealing, he was really small, but he was so fast, when I found him, he was hiding behind the bottle in the cupboard, thinking I didn't find him. ”
The notebook then flipped back, and Bai Yujing showed Emma a little bit of what he had gained yesterday, and Emma listened to it, and her mouth was a little closed.
"Oh my God, Lilliput, Gulliver's Travels, the legendary Lilliput!" he covered his mouth with his hands, incredulous.
Lilliputt is the name of Lilliputian recorded in Gulliver's travels, Bai Yujing doesn't know if this is related to the Lilliputian in the world, but when he learned the name Lilliput, Bai Yujing read through this Jonathan Swift novel in China.
"Have you read this novel too?" Bai Yujing asked.
Emma immediately said: "Of course, when I was a child, my father gave me this novel, or a collector's edition, Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Flying Island Country, Huiqiu Country, I am very familiar with it, when I was a child, I always dreamed that one day I could have such a strange adventure like Gulliver, and then I joined the International Endangered Animals Protection Organization, and maybe it also has an impact in this regard." ”
Bai Yujing shook his shoulders and head, and looked at Emma with a smile: "So is the beautiful Miss Emma Bruce interested in solving this mysterious mystery with me, this may also be an endangered intelligent creature that needs to be protected by our brave heroine." ”
Emma had already had a plan in her heart, but she pretended to be reserved, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will reluctantly agree to you." ”
Bai Yujing was very happy, with Emma's support, this mission could be regarded as a powerful boost, but Bai Yujing still wanted to ask Emma: "Emma, do you really believe that there is a Lilliputian?"
Emma immediately said: "There are too many mysteries in this world, there must be some strange creatures that we don't know, this is a matter of course, and I believe in you, this diary from half a century ago cannot be faked, no matter what, I am willing to accompany you on a trip, after all, we are friends, aren't we?"
"Yes, we are friends!" Bai Yujing's face bloomed with joy.
Bai Yujing then took out the small backpack he received yesterday, and also took out a magnifying glass and gave it to Emma to share his harvest with her.
"Is this what a Lilliputian thing? It's really amazing, Bai Yujing, you are really a person full of surprises!" Emma held a small backpack, a delicate backpack, fine stitches under a magnifying glass, Bai Yujing also pointed out the small name on the side, which made Emma's curiosity burst.
