Moment.

In the darkness of the night, Richard walked into a quiet alley in the city of Faro, stopped in front of a wooden door in the alley, and knocked it down with his hand.

The knocking stopped for a while, and waited quietly for the person inside the door to come out.

As a result, after waiting for more than a minute, there was no movement in the door, and when I raised my hand and was about to knock again, I suddenly heard a girl's voice containing anger from inside the door.

"Hey, guy outside the door, I don't blame you for who you are, if you dare to touch the door again, I'll break your arm. ”

Richard: "......"

"Click......

The hurried voice approached, and it sounded like someone was coming angrily with a clog.

The other party walked towards the courtyard door, and complained unceremoniously: "Really! Knock during the day, knock at night, knock every day, knock every month, you can't be stable for a while? It's been three days in a row, and as soon as I want to sleep, I slam the door, I really think this is a hotel." ”

Richard: "......"

"Click!"

The footsteps became heavier, and the person inside the door had obviously walked to the door, and then with a "bang", the door was opened, and a girl with round eyes poked her head out, it was the righteous girl Nellid, who was about to curse when she opened her mouth.

Suddenly, Nellid's expression froze, and the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, her eyes widened a little rounder, and she let out a voice with a little surprise and surprise, looking at Richard standing outside the door and said, "It's you?"

"Uh, it's me. Richard replied.

......

More than an hour later.

Richard sat upright in the living room in the sorceress's courtyard. In his study, not far from him, the sorceress Sersi was translating the "Ancient Language" for him.

The room was quiet, and Richard waited patiently, guessing what the wizard Sercy would translate in a moment.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes......

Three minutes later, with a "squeak", the side door next to the living room opened, and Heidi, a cat slave girl, came out, brought a cup of tea to her, and said very politely: "That Mr. Richard, you use tea." ”

After speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper full of words from his arms, put them on the table, and explained: "That Mr. Richard, my teacher is still continuing to translate for you, and now only a third of the translation is completed, I'm afraid that you are in a hurry, so I will bring it over for you to see." ”

"I'm tired. ”

"Nothing. You watch first, and then I'll help the teacher continue to translate, so that it can be done faster. Heidi said, stepping away.

Richard watched the other man walk out the door, picked up the paper with the translation written on it, and continued to wait as he read it.

In the blink of an eye, another hour later.

With a "squeak", the side door of the living room opened again, and this time it was not Heidi who came out, but Nellid.

Nellid grabbed a white melon the size of an apple in her hand, and walked over while gnawing on it, and said in a somewhat muffled voice: "My teacher has translated another third of the content, you can continue to look at it, and the remaining last third will be completed in a while." ”

After speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from his bosom and handed them out.

"Good. Richard nodded, took the paper, and looked down to look at it.

Then I heard the sound of eating melons in my ears "clicking".

Richard looked up at Nellid, who was aware of it and looked at her while eating her melon.

You look at me, I look at you.

You look at the melon, I look at you.

You look at me, I eat melons.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Nelid seemed to finally realize that something was wrong, swallowed the melon in her mouth with a "bang", hesitated, and handed out the remaining half of the melon: "You...... Want to eat......? Some?"

Richard: "I ......"

clearly saw the tooth marks on the melon, and there seemed to be a faint saliva next to the tooth marks, and Richard had a headache: Anyway, he didn't want to eat melons at all.

Blinking, Richard was thinking about how to politely refuse, when Nellid's eyes suddenly widened, as if remembering something important, and said loudly: "Hey, Richard, what would it be like to say that a baby born to a mouse and a rabbit would look like?"

"Huh?" Richard was stunned, Rao is thinking as active as him, and when he met Nellid, who jumped out, he couldn't help but be confused, not knowing what the other party wanted to do?

Nellid frowned when she saw it, and said with a little displeasure: "Why, don't you know." I thought you knew everything, but I overestimated you. ”

Richard's expression twitched a little, and he looked at Nellid, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer. Do you seriously give each other a scientific knowledge of genetics, and tell each other that rabbits and mice are reproductively isolated and cannot reproduce under normal circumstances?

"Well—" Nellid sighed, "Forget it, since you don't know, I'll find out for myself." ”

As the words fell, under Richard's strange gaze, Nellid walked out the door.

After walking out of the door, Nelid leaned against the wall, ate all the white melons she was holding in three or two bites, and then patted her chest with some fear: "Whew, fortunately, I reacted quickly and changed the topic in time, otherwise I would definitely agree to eat melons by looking at that guy's eyes."

Actually, I'm just polite, if he really eats, then I'll lose a lot. After all, I can only eat two of these melons a day, and I am reluctant to give it to Heidi, how can I give it to him.

This guy is stupid, and the rest of the things are okay, and this kind of thing disappoints me so much. But then again, if you're not stupid, how can you not know what a rabbit and a mouse give birth to, and haven't you ever seen a squirrel - jumping and burrowing for food. ”

Shaking her head slightly, Nellid stepped aside.

Richard in the room, his gaze continued to be strange, and it took a moment to calm down and browse the newly translated content.

......

It didn't take long for another hour to pass.

With a "squeak", the side door of the living room opened again, and this time it was the wizard Serthy herself who walked out, holding the last part of the translation in her hand, followed by Heidi and Nellid, who was holding a new melon.

The sorceress with a detached and mysterious temperament approached with light steps, put the paper with the translation on the table, looked at Richard and said: "Wizard Richard, all the ancient languages have been translated, you can take a look." ”

"Good. Richard nodded lightly and said with courtesy, "It's really bothering Wizard Sercy." ”

"No hassle. Sersi responded, "That's as it should be, after all, I'm not translating for free, it's a fee, it's actually a business." ”

"Even if it's business, it's still a little inappropriate to disturb me at night, and I'm anxious. ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it. ”

Seeing Richard and his teacher constantly being polite, Nerid couldn't help but shake her head, and then began to eat melons.

"Click, click, click!"

The melon is crispy and sweet, and the sound is extremely loud.

Richard subconsciously glanced sideways.

The sorceress noticed this, turned her head, and looked at Nellid with a straight face.

"Click, click. While eating melons, Nellid asked strangely, "Teacher, what do you see me doing?"

"Eat quietly. Sersi said.

"Why?"

"It's courtesy. ”

"Okay. Nellid said helplessly, holding the melon, covering her mouth, and nibbling on it.

"Click, click, click......" lives like a squirrel.
