71. Grumpy mermaid
The stars are shining, and the confluence of the two galaxies presents a big 'K' in the night sky.
In the distance, there was a cloud like a green gauze tent on the side of Mount Majaro, and the main teaching building of the Royal Academy of Magic slowly fell silent in the night, and the floating royal city above Dì Dū's head was still brightly lit, and occasionally one or two Gripen knights flew back to the towers of the imperial city.
The three magicians argued around the table, and it seemed that the translation of this magic book still had a long way to go, and the Cana script could not be translated with the Grimm Empire script after all, and many words could not be described by the Emperor's Chinese, according to the explanation of the Jasper scholars, '?????????????' This passage is a rune that resembles both a demon and a fish, and then it is not so smooth to substitute into a magic book, and Sean scholars and horse scholars are confused to hear it.
The three magicians then began to make a series of arguments about this passage, with Shaun and Mullen arguing that some of the Cana scripts needed to be adapted to the meaning of the sentences, and Jasper believing that there was another meaning in these sentences, until I had transcribed the entire magic book, and they were still babbling and arguing over there, and I walked over and listened for a while to find that I could not interject at all, and could only act as an honest spectator.
Ying Li, Helena and Becky were sleeping soundly on their desks side by side, and when they saw that I had finished what was at hand, Caterina looked up at me.
I turned to her Nunu, pointed to Scholar Sean, and motioned to say hello to Scholar Sean and leave the library, and Caterina closed the knight's travelogue and tied her long hair into a ponytail, intending to wake up the Lady of Shawn, and I made a wait-and-wait gesture to her.
I got up again, wanting to resign to Scholar Sean and leave the manuscript of the transcription here, but before I could say this, I was pulled into the debate between the three of them by Scholar Mullen, Scholar Shawn is a famous senior magician of the water system of Dì Dū, and he is an authority on the water element, Scholar Mullen is a water magician and linguist, and Scholar Jasper is also a lot of aura.
Ying Li didn't know when she woke up, but her eyes became as blue as Weiyang Lake again, and she stood behind us without saying a word, looking at the manuscript I had copied on the desk in a daze, her slender fingers kept drawing on the magic parchment, as if she was writing, I looked at her in amazement, I knew that while Ying Li was asleep, Princess Ireliel's soul once again occupied Ying Li's body and ran out.
Probably seeing the familiar Cana characters on the magic parchment, he followed the traces of those words and gently wrote with his fingers, his fingertips brushing over the parchment, as flexible as a series of beautiful melodies.
Feeling my gaze, she looked up at me, ignoring my presence, her gaze did not even stay on my face for a second before she moved away, and then landed on the translation of the round table, she walked to the front of the round table, grabbed the parchment of the translation, and threw it into the wastebasket in a ball under the gaze of the three scholars......
The scene fell silent instantly, and the three magicians' eyes widened, watching the results they had worked hard for most of the night being thrown away like waste paper, and the three eyes fell fiercely on Ying Li's face.
"That's not how Cana is translated......" Princess Ireliel muttered as she looked at the blank magical parchment with a somewhat complicated expression.
Then she sat down in her chair and picked up a quill on the table, and in a very awkward gesture wrote a line of crooked imperial script on the parchment.
"What are you writing about......" Scholar Mullen was clearly a little angry at what had just happened, and it was very rude for anyone to tear up someone else's work without asking why, so he couldn't help but sarcastically say to Princess Ireliel.
Scholar Sean knew Ying Li, and he looked at me, as if he wanted an answer from me.
At this time, the scholar Jasper, who should have been so angry, wrote a line of text from the tip of Princess Ireliel's pen, and said repeatedly: "Wait, let's not disturb her, her translation seems to be quite smooth, and the word transformation seems to be reasonable!"
Scholar Mullen turned to Scholar Sean and asked, "Who is this?"
Scholar Sean looked at me again and explained to Scholar Marlen, "She is Princess Winley, the daughter of Prince James. ”
Scholar Maren looked at the crooked imperial script written by Princess Ireliel, and said with a strange expression, "I didn't expect Princess Yingli to be proficient in the Cana ......"
I think he only said half of it, he didn't talk about how bad the Chinese alphabet is, in my opinion, it's really as bad as it gets.
"As the master of Haiyin Silk City, it seems that it is not difficult to understand that he is proficient in the Cana script. Scholar Sean stood aside and touched his chin with one hand.
Scholar Mullen was a little puzzled: "But there are a lot of words in this about water magic......
"So what, please be righteous, my dear friend, you were questioning a princess of the Angel Bird royal family. ”
“......”
Under the gaze of the three scholars, the princess of the royal family of Angelboy, or the eldest princess of the Cana dynasty of the Endless Sea, prostrated on the round table, and quickly wrote down the contents of the magical parchment she had crumpled and discarded, in the worst imperial script.
Maybe she was adapting to her new way of life, maybe it was to prove her presence, maybe it was because she was bored for a while, when she sat on the walnut back chair, sitting elegantly and focused, the style of a royal princess came naturally.
Helena and Becky woke up one after another, and they tried to go over to wake up Ying Li, but I stopped them with my hand, and I whispered to them, "Let her finish writing the contents of this parchment, maybe she has been locked up in it for too long, and she needs to breathe." ”
After writing the page of magical parchment, Princess Ireliel got up and nodded slightly to the three scholars, and left the library with me.
The Royal Academy of Magic was shrouded in night, two rows of pillar lamps in the square in front of the teaching building illuminated the sculptures in the fountain, and saw the sparkling pool, Princess Ireliel involuntarily walked over there, she walked to the edge of the pool, no matter how cool the autumn night was, and walked directly into the pool with her long skirt, the water in the pool reached her knees, soaking her long skirt, she stood quietly in the pool and looked at her reflection in the first rise.
A phantus of a mermaid appeared behind her, and as if it had come to life, it reached out and gently pressed it on the top of her head, as if to comfort her.
A pale blue magic pattern circle appeared under her feet, and a whirlpool of water appeared at her feet, and the vortex expanded little by little, revealing the smooth pebbles under the pool, and the water was separated from her body, and she was wearing a somewhat wet long dress, stepping on the pebbles, and suddenly looked back at me.
At this moment, I felt that the face I was familiar with, only a pair of eyes had become larger, and her small nose seemed a little taller, but her whole appearance had completely changed, and that face had three points of resemblance to the mermaid princess in the remnant image of the magic crystal, with a bitter smile on her face, muttering to herself in the pool, "This is your life?"
No one responded, and I felt as if she was chatting with Ying Li.
"Didn't you think that because of your presence, maybe you could change the world?" said Princess Ireliel again.
I was a little worried that Ying Li would be affected, so I cast an inquiring look at Helena beside me, and Helena took my hand and whispered to me in my ear, "Ying Li is awake, she is chatting with Princess Ireliel." ”
In fact, the communication between the two princesses did not last long, and Ying Li asked us to take Her Royal Highness Princess Arelel to experience the nightlife of DìDū, during this time, it happened to be the eve of the harvest festival, and the entire city of DìDū was immersed in a rich festive atmosphere, and DìDū at this time had almost become a city that never sleeps.
We came out of the Royal Academy of Magic and took a magic caravan directly to the food street on the west side of the academy, and then I found that even at midnight, it was still very lively, and the street was full of groups of young people, some of them were magic students of the Royal Academy of Magic, and more were students from some high-level colleges around the school, everyone took to the streets, choosing a small shop they liked, and the round table was full of exquisite food, and everyone was talking and laughing together.
At this time, I actually saw Noah and Shirley Newman on the long table in front of a restaurant, there were other familiar faces at that table, and there were also some magical students I didn't know, the atmosphere was very harmonious, everyone raised their glasses full of golden cider, Noah put one hand around Shirley Newman's shoulder, and said something loudly with a red face.
I didn't go over to say hello to them, but quietly passed by in the middle of the crowd.
With the widespread popularity of copper hot pot in Dì Dū, people gradually realized that this is not a simple stove, but a very good cooking utensil, and even in the magic newspaper there have been several articles dedicated to how to use copper hot pot to cook food correctly, among many ways to eat, the most respected by Dì Dū people is, of course, shabu mutton, so there are similar trendy restaurants popping up, and this food street of the Royal Academy of Magic also has this new style of restaurant, and it is very popular with Dì Dū people.
I think as the weather gets colder, this way of cooking food will become more popular on the streets.
If you want to invite Princess Arieliel to experience the life of Dì Dū, you can't miss the food street next to the academy, where everyone talked about the days of exploring in the Xinliu Valley, when I also cooked this food myself, and now there is such a hot pot restaurant in the food street, Helena and Becky want to taste this food again and reminisce about the feeling of the past.
The location of this hot pot restaurant is not bad, located in the food street near the intersection square, we chose a table at the entrance of the restaurant to sit down, from here you can just see the intersection square is holding a grand open-air dance party, the whole square is a huge dance floor, the sound of cheerful music from the side of the square, so that some people who are enjoying the food can't help but swing their bodies with it, from time to time someone will stand up and invite the companions at the same table, or strangers at the next table to dance together.
In order to take care of Princess Ireliel's eating habits, we also chose some chilled seafood when we ordered.
We were all ladies at this table except for me, so before we had a formal meal, some of the guests around us passed through the waiters and told us if they wanted to dance or not, but as soon as we sat down, they told the waiter to help us decline these invitations.
Princess Ireliel had never left the ocean, and even when she came to Agalega alone, she only sat quietly on the edge of the cliff on the island for a while, and had not tried the food on land, and at this time, looking at the small hot pot boiling in front of her, Helena eagerly threw some thin demon antelope leg meat into the boiling soup pot, and told her to taste it while it was hot, and the meat would grow old if it was cooked for too long...... Yunyun.
Princess Ireliel took a fork and tasted the food slowly, without any communication with us, but the atmosphere of the meal was very harmonious, and Caterina even told the girls some of the troubles we had when we were traveling in the caravan, which made Helena and Becky always ask questions and envy the traveling life of the caravan.
A waiter standing not far from us suddenly stumbled to the ground, and a drunken young man stumbled past the waiter and stumbled towards us, followed by two companions, who also seemed to have drunk some wine, but at least a little more sober than the young man in front of him.
The young man who had walked in front of us came straight to our table, tried to stand up straight, bent down to Helena, who was whispering to Princess Ireliel, and then stretched out his hand to Helena and said, "Beautiful young lady, can you please do a dance?"
Helena shook her head at the drunken young man in some surprise, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to dance tonight, you might as well invite someone else." ”
When the young man heard Helena's answer, he immediately said with a displeased face: "I am Count Joseph, and it should be your honor to dance with me, and you have no reason to refuse ......"
Our whole table looked at the young Earl Joseph with astonishment.
He spoke with a thick southern accent, and when he saw that we were looking at him, he did not respond immediately as he thought, so he reached out to pull Helena's arm, but just as his hand was about to touch Helena, a light blue light flashed in Princess Ireel's blue eyes, and as she recited a jerky spell, a water bomb appeared out of thin air on the young man's chest, and the huge impact sent the young Joseph [] Jue pushed out more than ten meters away, overturned a few dining tables, and sat on the floor in the center of the long street in embarrassment, wet like a chicken in soup.
