Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mysterious Starry Sky Symbol Is Finally Cracked
After Lin Yue translated Lin Jue's words to the two, both of them were stunned.
"Governor, I'm grateful that you saved me, but I'm a dwarf, I'm a warrior, I'm going to fight to the end for the glory of the Icefields, I can't stay here long, and when the snow stops, I'll go back to my hometown, to that beautiful snowfield, and to that magnificent dungeon." ”
The elf girl tilted her head to the side, wondering, "What does it mean to be hired?"
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "I think I may not have made it clear, Mr. Hammer." I don't plan to hire you for long, but in the next month or two, when the snow melts, Mr. Hammer will not stop you wherever you want to go. ”
Hammer thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can accept that. I don't know what the Governor wants me to do?"
Lin Jue said, "Wait a moment." ”
He stood up, went to his desk, took out the wad of papers, and came back to the place.
The elf girl stared at the paper in his hand with a curious expression, revealing a thoughtful expression.
He rummaged for a moment, and finally found the blueprint of the steam engine.
He handed the blueprint to Hammer and said, "I've heard that the dwarves are the greatest craftsmen in the world, and I want to hire you to make this thing." ”
Hammer looked at it for a moment, and wondered, "Steam engine? Isn't this the machine we use to pump water from the mines?"
After thinking for a moment, Hammer said, "Okay, no problem, as long as there are enough materials, I can make this before the snow melts." ”
"Get one. Lin Jue thought secretly in his heart.
"By the way, I don't know what this beautiful elf lady is called?" Lin Jue asked.
The girl frowned slightly, thought for a while, shook her head, and said, "I don't know what my name is." ”
Hearing this, Lin Jue reluctantly turned his gaze to the hammer. Hammer shook his head and said, "I don't know, we usually call her the messenger. ”
Lin Jue was silent for a moment, this is very difficult, not to mention the amnesia, and even his own name has been forgotten, so it will be very difficult to extract information from other elves at that time.
"Well, I'll remember the name later. May I ask Miss Elf, can I hire you?" Lin Jue asked.
The girl looked confused and said, "What do you mean by hiring?"
Lin Jue was a little helpless for a while, how should I explain this to her? Lin Yue was good, and directly translated her question word for word, and honestly served as a microphone.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "This, hiring, means that I can pay you a salary, which is gold coins, this." ”
Lin Jue said as he took out a gold coin from his pocket.
"At the same time, I will prepare some delicious food for you every day, and you only need to put in a certain amount of labor. ”
"Labor?" the girl still looked confused.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "Well, that is, I want to hire you to be my bodyguard, after all, you have amnesia now, and I can't place you casually, I hire you, your usual task is to protect me and destroy my enemies, and I will give you gold coins, give you food, and at the same time find a way to restore your memory, how about it?"
The girl thought for a moment, nodded her head in agreement. In the state of amnesia, she doesn't have too much autonomy, maybe in her consciousness, she hasn't really understood what it means to be hired, or in her mind, she doesn't have anything to do anyway, being a bodyguard, having money and food, it's not bad.
"OK, looks like everything is going well. Lin Jue thought in his heart.
In fact, Lin Jue's idea is very simple, an amnesiac forest elf may still have incredible information in her hands. This can be seen from the jungle goblins and the northern cannibal tribes who are chasing and intercepting her, not to mention, there is also that mysterious killer organization, even if the other party loses his memory, he will send killers to kill her.
Under such circumstances, Lin Jue really didn't dare to expose her to others at will, even if it was her own clan, Lin Jue didn't dare to expose her at present. What's more, the information she had before she lost her memory may be the information she wants to know.
For example, why do jungle elves attack human cities for no apparent reason, and what is that weird magic that can instantly freeze people into ice sculptures?
Since she didn't dare to expose it, and she had to take care of her, it was better to hire her, after all, she was a skilled archer, and she could aim at the hearts of seven people at the same time with a bow, a skill that few people in the world could do. Therefore, when Lin Jue had the idea of hiring her, he was also more curious about her identity outside of the messenger.
As for the dwarf hammer, Lin Jue was just recruited with the mentality of giving it a try. At present, there are not many dwarves in the dwarven liaison agency, and they are busy with the construction of institutions every day.
And now that the heavy snow has blocked the entire Phoenix City, in order to develop the steam engine, Lin Jue can't recruit other dwarf craftsmen, since the hammer is idle, it is better to take advantage of his temporary inability to leave Phoenix City to hire him.
Lin Jue looked at the elf girl, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm thinking, what should I call you in the future?"
The girl smiled and said, "If you don't mind, can you give me a name?"
"Shall I take it?" Lin Jue was silent for a moment, looked at the golden arrow in her hand, and said, "Tulip, how is it?"
"Tulip ......" the girl recited these three words in awkward Chinese.
Lin Jue pointed to the golden arrow in her hand and said, "Because the pattern on the arrow in your hand is tulip, I think this name is not bad, how about it?"
The girl smiled and said, "I like it very much, and I will call it ...... from now on." Tulips up. ”
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, now she has to figure out how to make her recover her memory. After all, in the face of amnesia, even on Earth, I have never heard of any effective treatment, let alone in this world. Perhaps, in this world that cannot be judged by the experience on Earth, there is some magical way for her to recover her memory?
Thinking of this, Lin Jue's first thought was the dream witch Agnes who he hadn't seen for months.
"Dreams are also a form of memory, maybe if you have the opportunity to meet her, she can solve this problem, right?"
"That's right. Tulip said, "You have a piece of paper in your hand, how can you write this?"
Lin Yue translated her words to Lin Jue, Lin Jue was stunned, he looked down and saw that the top piece of paper in his hand was the paper that recorded the string of starry sky symbols. He pulled the paper out and wondered, "Can you read this?"
Tulip took the paper and said, "I only remember, it seems that I have learned this kind of writing before, and I don't remember anything else." ”
"I can read this text, but why do you write it?" Tulip wondered.
Lin Jue looked excited, after so much time, he finally found someone who could translate this sentence, and when he saw this string of words for the first time, he was sure that this sentence must be very important. But I couldn't find anyone who could translate it, not even the phoenix of Phoenix, I didn't expect her to be able to understand it?
Lin Jue hurriedly asked, "So, tell me, what is written on this?"
Tulip replied, "It says, 'Get out of here.'" ’”
