Chapter Forty-Eight: Goblin Language
PS: Thanks to the PK ticket of "Kafziel"! After it is put on the shelves, it will be guaranteed to be double updated every day!
Early the next morning, after greeting Made, Shay prepares to visit her goblins.
The goblins were kept in the dungeon of the mage college, which was not like the dungeon of the kingdom where criminals were held, it could be said to be a small dark room, which was used to punish the mage apprentices for violating the rules, and there were neither torture instruments nor darkness in it, and it was blocked by the wall into a closed room, with windows and beds, and candles.
The "Lesson House", which was originally a peaceful place, today welcomed the first of the noisiest group of guests.
When Shay pushed the door open, the menorah flew towards her, but luckily she tilted her head or would have been hit in the forehead.
The noisy goblins suddenly quieted down, the house was already a mess, Xia Yi couldn't find a single intact item, and Mader on the side watched the green muscles burst out, and the fierce appearance scared a group of goblins into quiet.
The sheets had been torn into strips, and one of the goblins was still wrapped around the torn cloth as a bra, and some goblins were fighting on the ground, and even the glass windows were smashed, and the glass shards were scattered on the ground, and some goblins picked up and gnawed. For the destructive power of goblins, Shay learned for the first time.
An old goblin sat in the center of the room, he didn't have anyone to disturb him, and there was a goblin mother and son on the side, the mother goblin was nursing her young, but unfortunately she herself was hungry, where did she get the milk?
"Hmph, it's strange that these goblins didn't eat this old goblin and the toddler."
The room was in a mess, and Mader was not happy, for he knew that the goblins ate everything, the bones of wild beasts, and even the dregs of wood, and that they would eat the old and sick of their own kind if they were hungry.
Goblins don't have a habit of bathing, and Mader is wondering how many times she needs to rinse to get rid of the stench in the room.
This was the trouble that Xia Yi had caused, so Xia Yi felt a little guilty, she thought about it, and spat out some weird syllables, which were so unfamiliar that they were intermittent.
When the goblins heard Xia Yi's words, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and they looked at the goblins strangely, especially the old goblin man, who walked to Xia Yi's feet and circled around Xia Yi, sniffing Xia Yi's scent. They are all very strange, this is a human being, how can they understand the language of goblins?!
This is not Shay's erudition, this language comes from Pipiru, because he signed a master-servant contract with Shay, Shay can obtain Pipiru's memory, which is very difficult to use and very unskilled, but fortunately, the goblins seem to understand.
Shay speaks the language of the ancient goblins, which are now simplified from the ancient goblins, discarding many words that have no practical meaning.
"Who's in charge here? It should be you, your name. ”
Xia Yi asked the old goblin man, she also suspected that this old man might not be ordinary among the dwarf goblins, as Mader said, when the goblins are hungry, they will eat their own kind, but this old man lives so well that even the young goblins dare not disturb him.
The old goblin didn't say anything, his eyes rolling as if he was thinking something.
"I can tell you, you are all my slaves, and if you don't speak, I'll kill you all!" Xia Yi threatened, "In the Anthropocene realm, it is not illegal to execute a few goblins. ”
Made's face was puzzled, what the hell is Shay doing? She still chirped and spit out strange sentences in her mouth, like goblins talking, could she still speak goblin language? How can it be! No human being in the world would learn the language of the lower races!
"Shay, do you want to learn goblin language? These little ones can't be your teachers. ”
Madea joked that he thought the girl was whimsical.
The old goblin grabbed his long ear, and as if decided, he spoke, "Conca, Conca is my name, master. ”
Madea almost threw away the food box in her hand!
What did he see? Shay is really communicating with the goblins! Madea covered his forehead, he thought he had a fever!
How could anyone want to learn goblin language?
Even his teacher, known as the descendant of the wise man, the erudite master of Pob, he does not know the goblin language! Because no one wants to learn, not even the orcs, they can't learn, they prefer to learn the elven language!
What Marder didn't know was that the lingua franca was now a mixture of ancient goblins, goblins, elves, and so on. On the other hand, the goblins, which have degraded for so many years, have been simplified again on the basis of the ancient goblin language, which is already very different from the lingua franca, and only the ancient goblin language in Pipiru's memory can barely communicate.
"Your Excellency Shay, you are really ......"
Made's use of honorifics, which he doesn't know how to describe.
"Oh, my father is a mercenary, and he has been in and out of goblin territory all year round, so he learned a few simple words of goblin language." Chailly's excuse sounded convincing.
Then Shay pointed to the toddler goblin and asked Conca, "What about his name?" ”
The mother goblin seemed to be a little anxious, and the old goblin struggled for a while, and said helplessly: "He has no name, only the higher status of the goblins has a name, I am a wizard in the tribe, so I am called Conca." ”
Wizard is the name given by the human race to the mage of the subhuman race, for example, among the highland trolls, there are also wizards, they are called cursed trolls, because they are good at brewing weird potions, and they can also dark witchcraft, curse magic. The status of the sorcerers and the sacrifices among the orcs, the priests are more adept at blessings than curses.
"Poor little goblin, please don't torture him, he's starving to death."
The old goblins knelt on the ground and pleaded, and the other goblins also knelt down obediently, indicating that they obeyed their master's orders.
It was precisely this move that aroused Xia Yi's suspicions, weird, this is Xia Yi's feeling.
According to Delmar, the goblins do not have kingdoms, they are scattered tribes, and there are no laws among the tribes, let alone training armies. They are like primitive humans, living in groups, uninhibited, and at the same time impossible to be well-trained.
But the goblins seem to listen to the old goblins, and it's not just because Conca is a goblin wizard.
When the goblins were bought, the hobbit merchant introduced them as a group of raw slaves that had just been captured by the mercenaries, but they were easily tamed and ordered to do anything.
But a group of living slaves, but do not resist and run away!
Especially creatures like goblins, don't look at their short stature, they are all very irritable. Old Conca was a goblin wizard, and there was no way he could manage the goblins so well.
They seem to be too obedient! The old goblin also has a master!
"Okay, I didn't buy you to eat goblin meat, and that little guy doesn't have much meat." Xia Yi smiled incomprehensibly, "I am a benevolent master, if I can, as long as you are obedient, I will not punish you in any way, you see, didn't I bring you food?" ”
It's a long paragraph, and Xia Yi almost bit her tongue! The ancient goblin language was really tough, some syllables were throat-sounding, sounding like a mouth-rinsing "grunt", and some were screaming. Xia Yi wiped a handful of sweat after speaking, her pronunciation was wrong several times, and she was barely able to communicate.
Old Conca looked at the box in Made's hand, which contained bread and sprouts, and even a small slice of meat, goblins were omnivores, but they liked meat the most.
All the goblins stared at the food, they couldn't help but swallow, they were all hungry.
Old Conca said with a look of gratitude: "Yes, you are a merciful master. ”
"Well, then, I'm going to ask you a few things, and if you deceive me, you'll be spared this meal."
Of course, Xia Yi wants to find out the origin of these goblins, she can save them, but she doesn't want to raise tigers and cause trouble for herself, when the time is right, she has to arrange some work for the goblins, she doesn't want to raise a group of idlers.
Now she even lives in the Mage Academy, let alone arranging things for the goblins.
"Oh, master, you even know the old language, what else dare I deceive you?" The old goblin replied respectfully.
"Tell me where you came from, how did you become slaves?" Xia Yi doesn't believe in goblins' rhetoric, she needs to judge for herself.
Old Conca began to talk about their bitter history with a handful of snot and tears.
A group of human mercenaries broke into the goblin tribe to which Conca belonged, and the mercenaries have always been unpopular with goblins.
Powerful mercenary groups, to the goblin tribe is unimaginable disaster, they will sometimes go to the goblin lair to look for metal ore, to know the way, goblins and dragons, like to collect glittering things, mercenaries have a fluke mentality, go to the goblin lair to find gold or gems.
How can a goblin with a beast's leg bone and a wooden stick as a weapon compete with a well-armed human mercenary?
The few mercenaries will not provoke the goblins, because this group of guys is short-tempered, and there are tens of thousands of goblins in a goblin lair, and if they are swarmed up, the mercenaries can only become food.
Mercenaries are a large part of the goblin meat feeder.
The goblin tribe of Conca was sacked by a mercenary group, and the mercenaries found nothing, because the tribe of Conca did not have a lot of gold, and the angry mercenary group began to slaughter the goblins, venting their dissatisfaction, killing hundreds of goblins before stopping, and capturing a group of Conca, selling it to a hobbit dwarf and selling it in the slave market.
At this point, Conca was already in tears, and his snot was like an earthworm, almost burrowing into his mouth! This one is almost exactly the same as Pipiru!
"Those damned bandits, bandits! Executioner! "They robbed us of our wealth, killed our tribesmen, and sold us into human slavery...... Woowoo woo ......"
