Chapter 005: Basic Common Sense
"Last time it was your turn to ask. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"The ice lotus in this dream is a magical girl, and the bright pink color perfectly blends into the surrounding cosplay army. Jiao Ming recalled that this seemed to be the scene when he went to a comic convention sometimes.
Popular characters from anime and games are scattered throughout the lobby of the stadium, with all sorts of long and short camera equipment clicking, and some game booths promoting and playing fast-paced music.
"By the way, are you celebrating a festival? It's really lively!" Binglian suddenly covered her mouth, and then explained: "It seems that you asked one more question, don't you mind?"
"It's a new kind of festival, and everyone is dressed up like the characters in the story. "Although Jiao Ming has dabbled in the second dimension, he is not proficient. He couldn't see the provenance of seventy or eighty percent of the cos characters at the scene, so he could only explain so much. "I hope you can answer this question honestly. Jiao Ming was ready to ask the question that had plagued him all night before going to bed.
"Of course!" Binglian looked at the CG animation of the game on the big screen, with a focused face.
"Why do you give me such a high salary?Or what role do you fancy about me?" There is no free lunch in the world, and this ice lotus must have something to ask for herself. If you can't get what others want, wouldn't the consequences be very serious.
"As I said in my dream yesterday, you will be my retainer and help me develop my territory. ā
"If you're a retainer alone, how can you eat better than you?" The half roast chicken at lunch didn't even have ice lotus.
"That's because you have a gift for magic. Binglian replied lightly, but Jiao Ming was ecstatic, and in an unstable mood, he saw the environment of the dream swaying and disintegrating.
Seeing this, Binglian was shocked: "Why are you always startled, and it's finished again, wasting my mental power." ā
When I opened my eyes again, the sky outside the window was white, "Lao Tzu actually has a talent for magic, hehe, I didn't cross it once in vain." "I couldn't sleep anymore because of my excitement. It's just that when he saw Binglian again, the latter looked angry and glared at Jiao Ming fiercely.
The language environment is suitable, the learning motivation is full, and in seven or eight days, Jiao Ming can already communicate with the people around him preliminarily, of course, to remove the confusion between the broken accent and the near phonetic words. Jiao Ming's local dialect learning speed amazed Binglian, seeing that the language barrier was about to end, she didn't chat with Jiao Ming in a dream, of course, it could also be because Jiao Ming interrupted her spell three times and twice, which made her unhappy.
On the other hand, Binglian's speed of learning Chinese is not so optimistic, which is understandable. As the young master of the castle, in addition to teaching the children, Binglian has a lot of daily chores to deal with, and she only has one big class a day to learn Chinese, and mastering the Chinese pinyin part is already her talent and intelligence.
By the way, Xiao Shi Lori may be a language talent, maybe she is not yet at the age of learning to speak, and she is already very familiar with the local dialect, as if she has become half of Jiao Ming's teacher. When he was triumphantly cocking his tail, Jiao Ming forcibly gave the little guy a lesson in the primary school Olympiad on the grounds that 'although he has crossed over, but the nine-year compulsory education cannot be stopped', which made the little guy almost cry.
Jiao Ming's next life was regular and monotonous, except for three meals a day, he went to listen to Binglian's lectures in the morning, and learned language with Binglian in the afternoon. Xiao Shi was only nine years old and could only do some odd jobs, so she was simply arranged to be Jiao Ming's exclusive maid with Aunt Klin, and the sleeping room was next door to Jiao Ming. Jiao Ming, who was born on the earth, was willing to let such a cute little Lori do chores, as long as Xiaoshi was still running around him, he felt at ease. Of course, chicken wings at noon every day are also indispensable.,After finding that no one is crooked.,It's even more open to little Lori.,In such a straightforward way, many small troubles will be automatically dissolved.ć
With the elimination of the language barrier, Jiao Ming was able to understand some basic common sense of the world more quickly.
The first is about the territory. The territory is a peninsula called Hippiclestown, which means territory, and Hippicles is a native animal that resembles a crocodile but has six legs. The family of the ice lotus is the lord of the territory, and its emblem is also this six-legged crocodile, which is also called the crocodile family when communicating abroad, and this place can also be translated as the crocodile collar.
It is a nomenclature commonly used on the continent, and noble families with various animals as the family emblem of the lord abound.
According to the size of the territory, there are five titles for lords, and Jiao Ming simply applied the earth's title system, so Binglian's father can be called the crocodile duke.
The second is about language, the content of Binglian's lesson to the little ones is the lingua franca of the mainland, but this is also a kind of saying that sticks gold on his face, and the more accurate expression should be: the lingua franca of the Kingdom Alliance in the northwest of the continent. The other two religious states of the three-third continent, while acknowledging the dominance of the language, also speak their own languages within themselves.
The territory also has its own local dialect, which is Hippecles, which translates to crocodile language, according to the naming convention here.
And then there's magic, and there's really magic here.
Three hundred years ago, a commoner named Kosson discovered magic, ushering in the age of magic and his legendary life, which later generations revered as St. Kosson. During his lifetime, he made countless contributions to the cause of human magic, the most famous of which was the creation of the 'Four Elephants Meditation Method', which laid a solid theoretical foundation for future generations to cultivate magic.
The above is what Jiao Ming found on the title page of a reprint of "The Four Elephants Meditation Method". The compliment was uttered by a nine-ring magician named Kulia, who was both the editor of the book and the headmaster of a school of magic with an abrupt name.
In the past seven or eight days, Jiao Ming has roughly understood this. By the way, this "Four Elephants Meditation Method" is not placed on the shelf, but on Binglian's desk, and it is obviously often looked through. On this afternoon, when Jiao Ming found this book, Binglian simply recommended him to read it.
"I'll lend it to you if you're interested, and it should help you to look at the water magic part of your magic talent in view of your magical talents. ā
"This is written in lingua franca, my level is limited, I won't go crazy, right?" Although Jiao Ming yearns for magical power, the various martial arts novels on the earth also make him feel bottomless.
"Don't get carried away, take your time, and it will also help you learn the lingua franca. Holding the book happily, I was ready to go back and study it carefully, and by the way, I would devote more energy to learning the lingua franca. "It's okay to show this book to my little poem, right?" "Of course, you can't forget the little one if there are good things, in case she also has a talent for magic."
"Absolutely, this book is just an introductory read to magic. Saying that, Binglian put down the pen that copied Chinese characters, then turned around and faced Jiao Ming, and said with a serious expression: "As my first retainer, I don't know if you have any suggestions for building a territory." ā
Jiao Ming has been waiting for this question for a long time: "There is a saying in our hometown, there is no right to speak without investigation, I need to do a social survey before expressing my opinion, I hope to get your support." Holding the magic book in his arms, Jiao Ming was also solemn. "And I have one more question to confirm. ā
"What's the problem?"
"In my homeland, royal power is long gone. Do you still want to build on my hometown?"
"When I confirm this contradiction, I will give you an answer. After a short silence, Binglian chose to delay. For a feudal lord heir, he is somewhat knowledgeable, and he can't just do things after a few words. "As for social surveys, I'm also curious, and I'll go with you. ā
"How about leaving tomorrow?" Jiao Ming was not surprised by this delayed answer.
"Yes. ā
