In the ancient Middle Ages, there was no concept of weekends. So in principle, Dai Lan needs to report to Celtic Castle seven days a week.

However, because of religious beliefs, you can take an afternoon off on Sundays.

Dai Lan used this time to learn Gerk with Rachel.

Now Rachel no longer looks like a shy girl. There is a little bit of freedom in every move. Many times, in front of Dai Lan, he is more like a tomboy, and he doesn't know how to twist and act at all.

This kind of sincere and real feeling is what Dai Lan likes the most.

After lunch, Dai Lan deliberately took care of her clothes, showing the importance she attaches to this foreign language class. Honestly sit at the desk in your room and wait for the lesson.

Today is the first class, and Rachel's appearance gives Dai Lan's eyes a bright feeling. Her wavy brown hair has been tied into two large braids on the left and right, and she wears a knitted green fleece jacket on her upper body, with a classic Scottish checkered skirt underneath. A few freckles on the bridge of the nose look particularly playful.

This big girl has both a wild and a quiet side.

Rachel pulled out a thick dictionary from the bookshelf in the room and threw it on the table with a thud.

"Dai Lan, this is the Gerk dictionary, you will become good friends with it in the future!"

"This, it's a bit too much......" Seeing the five-centimeter-thick dictionary, Dai Lan had a headache.

"Cut! Coward. Still thinking about being a magician, you can't even do it with such a small dictionary? Rachel stretched out her little hand and tapped Dai Lan with her fingertips, "When I was ten years old, I memorized them all!" ”

Speaking of this, Rachel's eyes began to sparkle with pride again.

Dai Lan rolled her eyes, pursed her lips, and said psychologically: I'm a fake elemental magician!

Rachel felt that the joke was a bit too much, blushed, and added: "Actually, Brother Dai Lan, you are an Oriental, and your language is completely different from the grammar and pronunciation of Gerk, so it may be slower to learn." Don't be in a hurry! ”

The first time she heard Rachel call her eldest brother, Dai Lan was still a little uncomfortable, but she didn't correct her, just nodded slightly.

"Brother Dai Lan, that, isn't your hometown beautiful?"

"Yes. I guess so. ”

"And what do you like best?"

"I can't say it either. When I was a child, I always followed my master up the mountain to pick yams. At the top of the mountain, there is a long wall of black stone, like a dragon flying in the sky. Whenever the sun is about to go down, it shines on it with a soft light, and it is beautiful. ”

Dai Lan didn't know why he talked so much today, maybe Rachel's question touched the heartstrings, and he suddenly flew back to his hometown in the 21st century.

Rachel's little fingers were entangled, biting her lip, and finally said, "Big brother Dai Lan, when I grow up, will you take me there to see?" ”

Dai Lan didn't know the answer to this question, but replied mechanically: "Okay, good ......"

************

An afternoon was spent practicing the pronunciation of the Geilke language and practicing the spelling of simple words.

Dai Lan's head began to swell a little, and finally he couldn't listen to a single letter.

"Brother Dai Lan, is there something on your mind? With your talent for punishing knights, it is impossible for you to learn the language so slowly. Rachel pinched Dai Lan's arm with a small palm, not to mention, it hurt!

Dai Lan looked at Rachel's little hands with a few calluses because she had been working in the orchard all year round, grinning, and his old face was red, and he didn't know why the progress was so slow.

In fact, Dai Lan's progress is quite fast. In just a few hours, I have memorized letters, pronunciations, and dozens of basic roots. If it is placed in the 21st century, you can try your luck on the show "The Strongest Brain". However, in the ancient Middle Ages, this achievement was simply not worth mentioning.

Dai Lan once again felt that the inspiration cells in his head were king!

Seeing Dai Lan's embarrassment, Rachel was also a little reluctant, repeatedly tugging at the corners of her clothes, and hurriedly comforted: "Brother Dai Lan, don't worry." It's your first class, after all. It's going to be okay, everything is going to be fine! ”

"Mr. Dai Lan, please pay attention to the memory of syllables, especially the position of accents. Gerk is similar to English in that the spelling and pronunciation of words are similar. Murray's reminder came to his mind that the Scottish butler did have more say in the learning of language, "Of course, I will also try to memorize, and then the two of us can study the "Selected Tang Poems" together." Of course, if you want to. ”

Dai Lan involuntarily let out a "hmm", which counted as a positive reply.

Finally, the sun sets in the west, which counts as the end of a day's labor.

The afterglow of the sun fell into Dai Lan's room, and it was warm. It is really pleasant to see the fresh smell of fruits and vegetables sold on the street.

Little Rachel's wheat-colored skin is more and more wild and beautiful. The two big eyes are particularly seductive.

She's only fifteen!

Next year, you will be able to participate in the Scottish royal family's election activities. With her upbringing and appearance, it is not impossible to be a duchess, even if it is the prince's wife!

Thinking of the Prince, Miss Emily's cousin, Prince Tudor, I don't know what it looks like. Judging from the fact that he is Emily's cousin, he must be quite young.

Packing up his mind, Dai Lan took out two silver kronors from his pocket as tuition. Rachel didn't want to live or die, and in the end, Dai Lan pretended to be angry and stuffed it in her hand.

Rachel pouted and said a little mischievously: "Although you paid me, you still have to invite me to the Debroie Tavern to drink the best Zhuogut IPA, and you are not allowed to be peared!" ”

Dai Lan tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "If Aunt Susan knows that I am taking you to drink, you must break my head." ”

"Mom won't know, it's a little secret between the two of us!" Rachel grimaced, turned and walked out the door, her two ponytails making two perfect arcs in the air.

Dai Lan hurriedly ate the rest of yesterday's dinner in the cellar, half a roast chicken and a few roast corn, to replenish himself and Murray. The energy of the housekeeper.

Then he couldn't wait to close the doors and windows, close the curtains, and intently flip through the notes in different handwriting in the corners of the "Selected Tang Poems".

I had just learned the entry-level of Girke, and with the help of that thick dictionary, I still struggled to look at it. Especially many colloquial sentences, Dai Lan is completely confused.

As he read, he copied down sentences he couldn't understand, and then broke them down into short sentences to shuffle the order. So that when I asked Rachel for advice, I didn't show my feet.

Late at night, the accounts in the Gerk language were only one-tenth of what was translated. However, the content in it really frightened Dai Lan.

After making a simple estimate with Murray, it would take about two more Guerke lessons to roughly translate the entire book.

Thinking of this, Dai Lan felt that he was one step closer to the goal of success this time.
