Chapter 54: Preparation for the Trip

The use of the lingua franca of the Silver Alliance is now common in Kander society, and is spoken by almost all members of the Kander Traveling Team.

Since the end of the Shadowless Mutiny, the Frerell Allies joined the Galactic Wisdom Alliance along with the Kand, and the lingua franca of the Silver Alliance has replaced the High Kandan as the primary language of communication.

But in fact, as early as the time of the Human Federation, the Kanders began to advocate the learning of the human language.

An extroverted race with no desire to conquer, it seemed to be unhesitant to accept foreign things, which surprised even the humans of the time.

The Kander had developed a dictionary of translation long before humans learned the mysteries of their language, but when the linguists of the two peoples finally began to communicate formally, they discovered that the Kander had already chosen Chinese as the translation base of the lingua franca.

Anthropologists have been puzzled by this, and the Kander people's explanation is that only this kind of language, which can interpret the artistic conception with words, can describe the beauty of the Kande people's spiritual and material worlds.

Kander's linguists have even stated that this is the only foreign language that has come close to the Kander's realm in the standard lexicon so far.

Anthropologists can only accept this kind of cultural gift without much effort.

The so-called borrowed chickens are good for laying eggs, and all kinds of experts used these words provided by the Kande people to translate each other, and soon applied them to various exchanges and education and training between the two sides.

But it is precisely because of this that the rumor that 'the Kander people are actually worshippers of the feather god' naturally appeared in the Silver Alliance, which was also something that Kande scholars could not have anticipated when they developed the translation dictionary.

......

Frerell's gentle and majestic star Krees, who was in the prime of her life, was reverently called 'Joonrai Mudahins' by the Kanders, which translates to "The Source of All."

Vesta orbits the star Kress for a very long time, so one Kand year is almost equivalent to six standard years of the Silver League.

When the two civilizations first came into contact, humanity would often be overwhelmed by the age of the Kanders.

They wondered how a self-proclaimed ten-year-old Kander looked so sophisticated. Although the appearance of the Kander people is almost the same for life, they will always be a baby face.

When some Kander diplomats announced that their twenties-year-old colleagues had died of old age, the representatives of the human federal government at the time mourned and mourned the short life of the Kander people.

But when they really understand the truth, they can't help but envy this race that lives longer than humans and is still young.

The God of Creation gave all the good things to the Rich Galaxy, to the Kander! This is yet another branching version of the rumors of the Kanders of the human world with jealousy......

……

"Why do we travel?"

"The discovery of a thousand years ago is long gone, and now all the biophysics on Escudabis are naturally classified as the ecosphere of the home planet, and the lunar elevator and force field shield allow the Kander to survive on all the moons without any preparation."

"This would have been almost unimaginable a thousand years ago, and it would have been completely different from the discovery of rare species in the rugged valleys of the Fourth Continent, and Escudabis was different from Kulubaris, with a completely different ecosystem and atmosphere."

"Time turns, generations change, it has been a thousand years since that voyage, and now we use exquisite scientific and technological objects, enjoy a wonderful and rich life, we lazily lie on the cornerstone held up by our predecessors, sighing at their greatness. If we lose the will to surpass them, if it all becomes inevitable and habitual, if the impetus that drives us forward fades away, what will be left? ”

……

"Why, then, do we need to travel so much today?"

"Because we have witnessed the other side of the universe in our travels, the ferocious and uncontrollable forces of nature, the harsh environment can often wipe out any stubborn life......"

"In the course of our travels, we have searched for the remains of many 'ascendants', and we are lamented that this prehistoric civilization, which is far more powerful than our race in terms of scientific and technological power, has finally disappeared, and no one knows what happened to them, and those species in despair are slowly dying out on the edge of the Misopu Dahin system, so that all the Kander people who have traveled through it have a sense of cherishing life and fearing the power of nature."

"Although our people do not believe in the gods, the Creator has given us everything we need, and the development of Kurubiris alone has given us an inexhaustible supply of energy and all the materials we need. But what really makes us feel fortunate is the truth of the universe that the Kander people have witnessed during their travels, which makes our race truly understand that if we are humble to all things, the God of Creation will have a gift, and the reward for giving is the eternal life of the race. ”

……

"What exactly is the benefit of traveling with all the staff?"

"That makes us in the early stage of scientific and technological development, we already have the ability to foresee the future, it is the travel that makes our destruction and loss of Mother Nature relatively static, cultivation and improvement have increased significantly, we only take the required mining, continuous regeneration research, meticulous environmental monitoring, and the crisis awareness of all employees, to know that our environmental protection of the home planet in the past few hundred years has far exceeded the sum of the past few thousand years."

"Then why encourage our descendants to travel too?"

"We want to spread this foresight and experience, so that all beings who love nature can understand the essence that is closely related to it, so the traveling party can be said to be our cultural messengers, each traveler represents the humility of the Kander people for life, and in this continuous culture, we help others and indirectly help ourselves."

Eddie sat on the beach, his father's words echoing in his ears, and in front of him were the soft white sand, the warm blue ocean, and the slowly sliding sunset.

In the distance, the last touch of today's parting look exuded by Qionglai Mudasins imprinted everything with its own luster. It pressed the sand, the sky, and the sea, making them glow pale gold, blue, and emerald green, and embellished the little Khand's eyes into poetic three-dimensional scrolls, which made him feel that there was no better time of the day than this.

Above the clear freshwater sea, several white fish gulls were spreading their wings, and not far from them, a huge algal whale bared its nose and spewed a long column of water upward.

Add propped his hands back, his palms hidden in the sand, leaning over and squinting his eyes, taking in the view.

The children, who were playing in the waves during the day, had already gone back to dinner with their families with their surfboards. It was getting dark, and the lights on the family beach were still bright, and there was no movement except the roar of the waves crashing against the shore.

The sea breeze is still there, bringing the smell of humidity, and the whole beach exudes an air of peace and tranquility.

Add just sat quietly, greedily feeling the things around him that he loved so much. He was attached to this beauty in his heart, and he was quite reluctant to give up this beauty.

He knew that once he traveled far away, all this familiar and comfortable dream home, which had accompanied him since childhood, gave him joy, and allowed him to spend his childhood carefree, would be far away from him for a long time.

He was worried and nervous about the long journey ahead, and after this conversation with his father, although there was still a hint of hesitation, Eddie had secretly made up his mind.

"Brother." At this time, not far from the beach, his sister Xiaofeng was young but didn't know when she had walked behind him. The Kander Maiden is beautiful and firm, and her movements are light.

"It's dinner time, and mom asked me to call you back." Xiaofeng looked at Eddie who looked a little different.

"Well, I'll go back." Add agreed, but his eyes were still watching the twilight go on, admiring the magnificent end of the 'Source of Everything'.

"It's beautiful, it's all there." He couldn't help but sigh to his sister.

"Of course, it is the word home that makes this beauty full of meaning." Xiaofeng nodded abruptly.

Eddie couldn't help but smile, his sister was indeed reminding him all the time that he should stay.

"It's going to be more beautiful and green outside, and if you don't experience it yourself, how can you know?"

"Have you finally decided to travel, brother?" My sister asked.

Eddie didn't answer his sister, he sat up straight, white sand in his palms, and watched as they slowly fell between his four fingers.

But soon after, he suddenly jumped up from the sand, clapped his hands, and said, "Don't miss dinner time, otherwise my mother will be angry." ”

"But, brother?" Xiaofeng was still trying to speak, but Eddie had already taken her hand and turned in the direction of the family.

"Kurusodamus, youth, that's the source of it all." He looked straight ahead with a determined gaze and a steady step, answering both at his sister and at himself.
