In Silver Cliff City, Rhodes has been waiting for news from Elon.

The waiting process was a little long, and because of this position, Rod was unable to perform deep meditation, and ordinary meditation could not bring much improvement, and for a while, Rod seemed to have nothing to do.

During the long wait, Rhodes did not sit idle, but went to Elon's study and flipped through some classics.

Although it was difficult for Rhodes to acquire special skills from books, he was still able to gain some knowledge in this way. The various news recorded in the books, as well as some legends that have been circulating for a long time, may be able to play a role at some point.

Of course, more often than not, this knowledge does not play any role, and even after a short time of stopping reading, it is completely forgotten, but it can be very effective in killing time.

Rhodes flipped through his books as he recalled the events of the past few days.

When Rod said the conditions, the city lord Elon began to run for the information of the artifact parts, and in the first few days, Rod was able to see Elon in the mansion, and in the following days, Rod did not see Elon at all.

Although Elon is not in Silver Cliff City for the time being, the internal management of Silvercliff City is still in order. In the past few days, what Rhodes has seen the most is the person in charge of managing the internal affairs of Silver Cliff City.

In the course of these days, Elon did not restrict Rhodes' activities, but opened all the books in the study according to the same conditions.

For ordinary people, being able to learn any elementary skill from books in a short period of time is considered to have a strong learning ability. Even if ordinary people are allowed to look through these books at will, they will not learn many special skills. Aaron was able to agree to this condition of Rode, so he naturally thought of this.

For Rowling, however, this is completely untrue. By reading these books, Rowling was able to master most of the skills with ease, and even the expert-level skills only took a little longer.

If Elon had known about this earlier, he might have changed his mind and rejected Rod's second offer, but he obviously didn't expect it.

At this time, Rhodes, who was flipping through books related to occult arts, suddenly heard a small sound coming from the other side of the room.

The sound is crisp and the volume is not deliberately depressed. At first, the sound seemed to be intermittent, with some interruptions in between, but later, the sound continued to reach Rod's ears.

Rod looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw Rowling, who was also flipping through a book.

At this time, Rowling was flipping through a book of unknown materials. Compared to the well-maintained books on magical knowledge that surround it, the book was extremely shabby, most of the pages had long since turned a dull yellow, and the text on the cover was long since unreadable.

Rowling was reading the contents of the book, and the voice came out of her mouth very clearly, but Rhodes could not understand the meaning of Rowling's words.

Rod knew that what Rowling spoke should be in another language, and although he couldn't understand the meaning of Rowling's words, Rod could hear some charm from Rowling's recitation.

Due to his lack of special linguistic skills, Rhodes could only understand the simplest lingua franca of human beings, and as for the languages specific to other tribes, Rhodes could not understand them at all.

seemed to feel Rod's gaze, Rowling's voice decreased a lot, and seeing that Rod didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, he closed the book and looked at Rod on the side, there seemed to be some doubt in his eyes.

Rhodes asked, "What language did you just speak?" ”

Hearing Rod's question, Rowling thought that it was her recitation of the words in the book that disturbed Rod, so she explained: "Cruelod, I found here a book about Cruelod, the author is a bard, and also records some interesting things that happened in Cruelrod's territory. ”

As she spoke, as if thinking of the contents of the book, Rowling couldn't help but smile on her face, but when she noticed that Rod's face had not changed at all, she immediately put away the smile.

Hearing Rowling's story, Rhodes looked a little puzzled and asked, "Do you have a special skill in linguistics?" Or is it just Krulod? Just by reading this book, without long practice? ”

In Rhodes' view, linguistics is different from other knowledge and cannot be acquired simply by reading books. To learn this particular skill, it takes a lot of time to practice, and even communicate directly with creatures of other races using this language, before it can be mastered.

Rod recalls that through the last words she heard, Rowling was able to read the psalms in the book with such coherence that she could read them out without any blockage.

Hearing Rod's question, Rowling hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and said: "When I read this book, a lot of knowledge came to my mind, and in addition to Krulot, there seemed to be many languages that I had not heard of......"

Rowling's answer proved what Rod had in mind, and what she mastered was linguistics.

Once the player has mastered linguistics, they will be able to communicate with most xenomorph creatures with the same effect as diplomacy at the same level. It can be said that linguistics is the premise of communication with other alien organisms.

Since linguistics doesn't bring any power gains, and most of the time it doesn't work, few players are willing to spend skill points to learn, except for players who are dedicated to diplomacy with xenomorphs.

At the same time, players can also rely on their own efforts to master this special skill through the learning of the language. Linguistics is very special, and when you fully master a language, you will automatically acquire this special skill, whether you have heard of it before or not.

And it was in this way that Rowling mastered linguistics.

After learning all this, Rod once again had a new understanding of Rowling's learning ability.

After these few days of study, Rowling has mastered a large number of special skills, although she has not had the opportunity to use them for the time being, but her strength has been greatly improved.

Rod didn't know where the limits of Rowling's ability to learn were, or rather, there were no limits at all.

As if thinking of something, Rod took out an old book from the space ring and handed it to Rowling.
