Chapter 442: Join

"Wait, this, it seems to be really like this, it's really the language of the Mompa language family!" Under Leo's suggestion, the old man quickly found the law of interpretation, and quickly sorted out the position of the sentence break, which can be regarded as a preliminary decipherment of this text.

Although he was not able to completely decipher the meaning of this sentence, he had already found the direction of cracking, which made the old man's concentration from just now relax a little, which also made him feel the fatigue on his body, and he couldn't help but lean back on the cushion of the seat stuffed with fluff, and stretched, while looking at the person next to him who had just reminded him.

"Who are you?" At this time, the old man realized that he was not in his own research institute, and the person who had just found out the research direction for him was not his own student, but a stranger he had never met.

"Leo Dodd, the owner of this letter. "Leo knew Sir Roland very well with a man who specialized in research, so he did not blame the old man for such a faux pas.

"Are you the owner of the letter?" Sir Roland was stunned and asked with a look of surprise, "You wrote this letter?"

"Of course. Leo nodded in acknowledgement.

"How is this possible?" said Leo, but Sir Roland questioned in disbelief.

It is no wonder that Sir Roland has such an attitude, because according to Sir Roland's inference, if he wants to master all the ancient languages in his heart, and can write them directly and express the meaning he wants, the person who wrote this letter can only be a middle-aged or old man, because such a huge accumulation of knowledge must take a long time, but Leo is only a young man in his twenties.

Even if Leo had started learning various ancient languages as a child, it would not have been enough for him to reach such a profound depth of knowledge.

In the face of Sir Roland's questioning, Leo did not explain, but took out a blank piece of paper directly from under the coffee table, and then quickly wrote a dramatic line related to Count Drake on the paper.

This line is very famous, it is a mobilization speech made by Count Drake before the key battle with the Invincible Armada of the Sigma Kingdom, although it is a line, but it is what Count Drake really said, only after a little artistic processing, and its content is almost known to women and children in the countries of Veron.

There are eight lines in total, and Leo wrote them in eight different ancient languages, which are completely different from those written in his letter to Sir Roland.

Watching Leo write this famous line in eight ancient languages, the look in Sir Roland's eyes gradually changed from doubt to amazement, and his eyes looked at Leo with great heat, and when Leo put down the pen in his hand, he immediately said: "Good, very good, I am very satisfied, I have passed your job application." With your knowledge sufficient to serve in my institute, I will grant you the status of a member of the Royal Academy in my capacity as the chief examiner of the Royal Academy. ”

Hearing Sir Roland's sudden and inexplicable words, Leo didn't understand what was going on for a while, and was stunned in place, but he quickly figured out the meaning of Sir Roland's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Sir Roland, you may have misunderstood, I didn't write this letter to ask you for a job. ”

"Huh?" Sir Roland was slightly stunned, and immediately showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he laughed dryly twice to ease his emotions, and explained, "I'm sorry, I don't know who spread the word that I want to recruit an assistant, many people want this position, and approach me in various ways, so that I have to hide from Diffie to clear up, so I think you are the same as those job seekers." After explaining, his embarrassment eased a little, and then he asked with some doubts: "Mr. Leo, since you are not a job seeker, why did you use this letter to arouse my curiosity and make me have to meet you this time?"

"Sir Roland, don't think too much about it, but my purpose is very simple, I just want to meet you, because your name is often mentioned, so I am very curious about you. Leo naturally won't say his true purpose, and at the same time, he can also feel that the Fidia Roland in front of him is just an ordinary person through the spiritual network, and if he wants to know whether Sir Roland in front of him is in the same situation as himself, I'm afraid it will take a long time to contact. Then he thought of the assistant mentioned by Sir Roland, and had an idea in his mind, so he said: "I forgot to mention to you, I have studied with the old man Rembrandt for a while, and it is said that my enlightenment in the ancient language is also due to the old man Rembrandt. ”

"Rembrandt?" Sir Roland seemed to think of something when he heard Leo's words, and looked Leo up and down again, and said thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard of you from Rembrandt a few years ago, and he said that there was a man who learned things very quickly, and it almost took him a week to empty his knowledge, and that man was an English soldier, and I forgot his name, but now it seems that that person should be you, right?" ”

Leo smiled lightly, "If there were no other English soldiers studying with Old Man Rembrandt and learning as fast as me, I think that person should be talking about me." ”

"Haha! You're such a funny little guy. Sir Roland laughed and stood up, walked to the side of the bookcase, opened a secret compartment on the bookcase, took out a bottle of wine and two glasses from it, returned to his seat, poured the wine to the full, and when he handed it to Leo, he said with a smile: "Diffie always thought that the wine he hid could not be discovered by me, but every time I was able to find the place where he hid it, this bottle of wine is the wine of the foggy moon in the 77th year of Bodo, and it is also one of the best wines in the world, and it cannot be drunk outside, you have come to the right place today." ”

Leo was not polite, took the wine glass, tasted the contents of the glass a little, then nodded slightly, and said: "It is indeed a very good wine, but unfortunately the taste is too light and not suitable for me." ”

Seeing Leo tell the truth, Sir Roland not only did not get angry, but admired Leo's outspokenness very much, and said with a smile: "You said the same sentence as our admiral, after all, they are all soldiers, and their thoughts are similar. By the way, if I remember correctly, you've been exposed to ancient languages for less than a decade. ”

"Yes, I've been exposed to ancient languages for a short time," Leo admitted, nodding his head, and said with a little reservation, "If you exclude the time spent doing other things, the time spent learning ancient languages actually adds up to two or three years." ”

Although Leo has extended the time he spends learning ancient languages as much as possible, if he really wants to count the time, I am afraid that the time added up to learning ancient languages will only take him a maximum of two months, or even less, but even two or three years is a small amount for Sir Roland, and it is pitiful, and the shock in his heart is naturally beyond words.

Subsequently, Sir Roland asked Leo about his living situation, work and other personal matters, and Leo answered truthfully, and the relationship between the two became a lot closer.

In fact, Leo knew very well that what Sir Roland wanted to know most was not with his own personal affairs, and the text from the royal city was what Sir Roland wanted to know the most, but Sir Roland was too embarrassed to ask, so he never spoke, and Leo also did not take the initiative to mention the idea.

However, after talking for more than ten minutes or so, there were sudden footsteps and talking voices outside the door, and then I saw the owner of this mansion, Diffie Roosevelt, push the door and enter the room, he did not show any surprised look when he saw Leo, obviously before entering, the servant outside the door had already said the situation in the house.

"Teacher, haven't you come here to seek purity? Why are you ...... now?" Diffie Roosevelt came in, nodded slightly at Leo, and then turned to Sir Roland, who was obviously mistaken for Leo as he was looking for a job.

"You misunderstood! This is Mr. Leo Dodd, a student of an old friend of mine. Sir Roland explained with a smile.

"Leo Dodd?" Diffie Roosevelt was stunned when he heard Sir Roland's words, and turned his head to look at Leo again, this time he was very cautious.

Sir Roland also noticed the change in Diffie Roosevelt's expression, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Nothing, I just didn't expect to see Mr. Leo here. Diffie Roosevelt responded with a smile, then stretched out his hand to Leo and said, "Hello, I'm Diffie Roosevelt." ”

"I guess I don't need to introduce myself!" Leo said with a smile as he stood up and shook Diffie Roosevelt's hand.

Diffie Roosevelt smiled: "Of course, you don't need to be introduced, you must know that you are very famous in the aristocratic circle of Port Set." ”

"Am I famous?" said Leo Dodd, a frown.

Diffie Roosevelt explained: "It's really famous, because you make a lot of people lose money, no, not a lot of people, but everyone." ”

Although Diffie Roosevelt only said something without a beginning, Leo could vaguely surmise that the loss might be related to his housekeeper, so he didn't continue to ask.

However, Sir Roland on the side obviously did not understand the situation, and asked with some confusion: "What's going on? ”

As a result, Diffie Roosevelt hired Leo as the Duke of Buckingham's former butler, as Leo had speculated, and the noble circle of Port Set opened a gamble on when Leo Dodd would be hit by the Duke of Buckingham, when everyone thought that the Duke of Buckingham would definitely do something, it was just a matter of time.

But the result was unexpected, the Duke of Buckingham didn't pay any attention to the matter, as if he regarded the butler who knew a lot of his secrets as an indifferent person, so that all the nobles lost the gamble except for the casino.

"Haha! deserve it, a bunch of idle fools!" Sir Roland laughed at this, showing disdain for the nobles of Port Set, and then looked at Diffie Roosevelt, and laughed, "Diffie, you are probably one of those fools, right?"

Diffie Roosevelt had an embarrassed look on his face, but he quickly returned to normal, and he deliberately changed the topic back to Leo Dodd, saying: "I sent you an invitation, mainly to see what kind of person the guy who made us all lose money, but I didn't expect you to be more interesting than I expected, and it turned out to be a student of a teacher's friend." As he spoke, he walked to the coffee table, picked up half of the wine left on the table, and then said complainingly: "Teacher, why are you like this? A bottle of wine that I finally got has half of it in your stomach before I have time to taste it." ”

"Don't be angry, isn't it just a bottle of wine?" Sir Roland smiled awkwardly, then coughed dryly twice, looked at Leo, seemed to think of something, and said, "I already have some eyebrows on the notebook you gave me not long ago. ”

"What? have you deciphered that language?" Diffie Roosevelt immediately put down the wine in his hand, and couldn't wait to walk up to Sir Roland, and asked excitedly: "What about the interpretation materials? Teacher, show me quickly!"

Sir Roland hurriedly explained: "Wait, you misunderstood, it's just that the direction of interpretation is a little eyebrow-raising, but it hasn't really been interpreted yet. ”

Diffie Roosevelt looked disappointed, but he quickly recovered and said, "It's good to find the direction of interpretation, I believe that with your knowledge, it is only a matter of time before you want to fully interpret the notebook." ”

"Of course, given the time, I can certainly decipher the notebook. Sir Roland raised his head proudly, but then changed his mind and added, "But if you want a shorter time, it's not impossible. ”

"Is there a way to shorten the time for interpretation?" said Diffie Roosevelt, who immediately became very attentive, and asked urgently.

Sir Roland looked at Leo Dodd, who was sitting quietly, and said, "Only one more person needs to be added." ”

"He, what can he do when he joins?" Diffie Roosevelt certainly knew Sir Roland's intentions, but he was a little puzzled by this proposal, obviously he didn't know much about Leo's situation, maybe in his eyes Leo was just a rich man who bought his factory, and the other was a lucky guy who didn't pay special attention to Leo, after all, he had too many things to pay attention to.

Sir Roland smiled and said, "I didn't say it, he was a pupil of a friend of mine, and that friend of mine was Rembrandt. As he spoke, he handed the letter on the table and the theatrical lines he had just written to Diffie Roosevelt and said, " His mastery of ancient languages has reached a very high level, even I may not be able to compare, the text in your notebook is a very ancient Black Forest tribal language, which is one of the root languages of Franic, and Rembrandt is one of the best people in the world who study the Black Forest language, I believe that as a student of Rembrandt, Mr. Leo's understanding of the Black Forest language family is definitely far beyond the average person, so his addition will definitely bring a breakthrough to our interpretation work. ”
