Chapter 773: Lisi's Family (3)
For the next period of time, Luo Ming was recuperating from his injuries while trying to learn the "lingua franca" of this world.
Liz would occasionally speak to him directly with the translation spell, and help him solve his doubts, and also told him the origin of the lingua franca:
- Legend has it that the predecessor of the Anson Empire once ruled a much larger territory than it is today, and it was at that time that the lingua franca was standardized and popularized by official forces.
Although the hapless empire was shattered to pieces before it was fully rolled out, it had already left a deep impact.
Of course, she seems to think this is common sense - after all, she mistook Luo Ming for a "traveler from a remote area", and focused on topics such as "the collapse of the empire and the current rebuilding of the Anson Empire".
Although Luo Ming didn't know much about this world, he had a certain interest in history and other aspects when he was originally on Earth.
Even if it's just a first-class level in the forum keyboard warriors, it's still a long way from some bigwigs who can smoothly translate all kinds of foreign languages and ancient literature, but in this world of general lack of knowledge, it can be regarded as knowledgeable, and what you don't know can also be guessed by touch, which can be regarded as a good conversation partner.
Luo Ming also guessed that this girl had been in this small country for a long time, and she could only see a group of hillbillies chatting about some cheesy topics every day, so it was rare to meet someone who looked like an intellectual, and she didn't vomit or feel unhappy if she had been holding her stomach for a long time.
Getting back to the point, in short, Luo Ming successfully set up his words:
The lingua franca is widely used in many countries, and even if some barbarians speak a completely different language and have mixed some lingua franca words, their language is often written in the lingua franca alphabet.
In short, the so-called lingua franca is more popular than Latin in Europe in the Middle Ages, and is almost close to the status of English on earth.
If you learn the lingua franca well, you can say that you are not afraid to go all over the world.
As long as Luo Ming didn't deliberately drill into some strange and remote places, he would be able to communicate with most people smoothly, and at most he would have to overcome the accent problem.
In the process, Lisi also became interested in his "Practical Everyday Lingua Frana Communication Manual", but perhaps due to Luo Ming's previous covert work, she was not mainly interested in Luo Ming's language and pinyin itself, but in this idea.
"That's a great idea...... It's a pity that there aren't any regions or countries around the area that speak completely different languages, otherwise the idea would have been a good bounty. ”
Exclamation to exclamation, her interest is nothing more, and there is no further meaning.
Now, Luo Ming has gradually figured out her research direction-
Lis's real focus is on "specific biology", with a little bit of content like "biochemistry".
Parse the strange creatures, figure out the source of their strange abilities, and try to use them...... That's pretty much it.
For example, the special drug resistance possessed by the local magic lizard, if it can be resolved, may be used on the battlefield, may create an excellent antidote, or be used to cure the Sleeping Charm.
Although Liz has some knowledge beyond the average in other fields, even history and politics, it can only be said that it is an auxiliary or hobby level.
The same was true of linguistics, and she was probably not as interested in it as she was in the carcass of the demon lizard.
