It just so happened that the princess was in the Privy Council at the moment.

After greeting her, Xia Fan directly found a carriage to stop at the entrance of the cell, asked Li to climb into the carriage with the other party, then closed the curtains, and drove all the way to Fengyang Villa.

Relying on Li's meditation technique, the elf fell into a coma soon after getting into the car, and when she arrived at the villa, her mental state was much more stable than before, and she tried to communicate with gestures in the middle. It's a pity that except for being able to understand her meaning from the sea, other gestures can only stay at the stage of blind guessing.

"How's it going?, is there any progress?" In the evening, Ning Wanjun also returned to the villa, and the first thing she did was to come to Xia Fan's side courtyard to check on the situation.

Xia Fan shook his head, "I don't know anything about the specific situation, I can only analyze it from her state." First of all, this is not the first time she has come into contact with humans, and although she was frightened before, she has been trying to communicate since then. Li couldn't sense her hostility with Kanjutsu. Second, she should be educated," he said, handing a roll of paper to the tool, "which is what she drew when she tried to use patterns after she had failed to communicate in words." ”

This sounds simple, but in fact it is far more difficult than literacy and hyphenation – it requires a higher level of thinking skills on the part of the expressor, and in the era when basic education was not yet universal, a single point alone surpassed more than ninety percent of the average person.

The princess looked at it carefully, and there were waves on the white paper, a clump of tangled seaweed, and a book.

"It doesn't seem like there's much connection. Ning Wanjun thought for a moment and decided to give up, "Have you seen the boat that carried her?"

"Nope. What happened to the ship?"

"That thing...... Something quirky. The princess touched her pimpled arm, "It has no sails, no pulp, and God knows how it got to the golden glow." And...... Looking closer, it felt like the boat was alive. ”

"Alive?" Xia Fan was stunned, it was normal to use a boat to cross the sea, so he didn't pay attention to this at all.

"Anyway, I've sent someone to keep watch over the ship, and you'll see it tomorrow. Ning Wanjun looked at the elven woman, "As for what she said...... There are people in the Gyeonggi Privy Council who are multilingual, so you might be able to ask. ”

"If there's no better way, that's the way it can be. ”

"Xia Fan, the location of the Jinxia Machine Manufacturing Bureau has been decided, the assembly line idea you mentioned earlier is quite interesting, can you tell me more about it?" At this moment, Mo Yun also pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, "I want to put the manufacturing of the machine beast on the agenda as soon as possible." Oh, Your Highness is here, too. ”

The elf opened his mouth to speak again.

To the surprise of Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun, Mo Yun replied almost without thinking.

The other party was overjoyed, and immediately followed up with two more sentences.

And Mo Yun was even connected.

"Wait, what do you say?" said Ning Wanjun in surprise.

"Let's be lettan, to be exact. Mo Yun pushed his bangs behind his ears, "It can be regarded as a more mainstream language overseas." ”

"Why would you do this?" Xia Fan couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Among those people who studied cannon casting in the Ministry of Industry was a craftsman who came from the West Pole and eventually settled in Daqi, and I learned from him in order to find out how well the cannon and the machine beast fit. ”

By the way, you will be able to communicate with people? Xia Fan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"Then what did she just say?" asked Ning Wanjun.

"Don't you even know this?" Mo Yun said indifferently, "Her name is Eli Moonlight Polo. ”

......

With Mo Yun's central translation, the communication situation suddenly improved.

According to Ellie, she came from a place called World Island and lived a carefree life until she was invaded by foreign enemies a few years ago. The people of the World Islanders, who did not want to become slaves and lose their freedom, fled in all directions and took refuge in other continents in tree boats.

Among her people, there is a person who has visited the western continent, saying that it is rich and prosperous, and the industry is developed, whether it is seeking wealth or power, there is no shortage of opportunities to climb to the sky. Eventually, he returned to World Island and wrote a travelogue in which he recorded everything he saw and heard. Ellie happened to have read the book.

So when the tree boat approached the sea area mentioned by the clansman, she steered the boat alone and headed west, wanting to see for herself whether what was described in the book was the same as reality. As a result, he didn't expect to be targeted as soon as he landed on the shore, and he was sent to prison after being tied up.

"When she says the Western Continent, she should be referring to us. After Mo Yun finished translating, he added two sentences, "Although I haven't heard of the World Island, if she is right, this land should be further east than the East China Sea, almost sandwiched between us and the West Pole." ”

Xia Fan blinked, "Can you help me ask, this Aili girl's clan...... What's your name?"

Mo Yun replied after a moment of conversation, "She said she didn't know. The book seemed to be intended for sale, but it sold so poorly that the clansman, disappointed, destroyed most of the book, leaving only one for future generations to read. Although he wrote these thoughts in the frontispiece, for some unknown reason, he only erased his own name. ”

For some reason, Xia Fan felt a sense of amazement in his heart.

"The country she said should refer to the Yong Dynasty, right?" Ning Wanjun said softly, "There are not many records about that era, but one thing is certain, when King Yong reigned, demons could walk on the streets. ”

"I think so. Xia Fan finally knew why when he was in prison, the other party expressed more grievances than indignation. Because of the description in the book, I was full of hope and expectation for this continent, but as a result, I was imprisoned in a dungeon as soon as I got off the ship, and my life was almost lost, which is probably difficult for anyone to accept.

"But what about the invasion?"

I asked. "Mo Yun's translation speed is still a little slow at first, but after getting acquainted with it, he can gradually achieve the speed at which the other party can say a sentence and she translates a sentence," said Ellie, saying that the enemy came from the other side of the sea, and they coveted the power of the dryad, and wanted to swallow up the entire World Island. This is not the first war between the two sides, as the conflict has been going on and off for hundreds of years, with both sides winning and losing. Only this time...... The enemy is especially strong. ”

"Their ships were almost full of sea antennas, and the continuous artillery fire made the sky seem to rain fire. Not only that, but their magic forces were far more terrifying than ever, as if the gods were protecting them, as the enemy had claimed. This time, the islanders of the world did not hold out to the end, and the resisters were defeated. ”

"It's just as my people say in the frontispiece," Ellie murmured in a low voice, "and we've relied too much on the power of the dryads to close our eyes from looking out. One day, this short-sightedness will be retributed, and we will be abandoned by the world when the destroyers outside tear away the protection of the dryads. ”
