Chapter 16: Accept a sister as a private translator
The girl stood up with a gloomy expression, bowed to Lin Jue, and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, I'll leave." ”
For this world, Lin Jue, who only has the most basic understanding, is the first time to know about the existence of a half-elf, and he doesn't know anything else. Stunned, he grabbed the girl's sleeve and asked, "What's the trouble? Isn't it a half-elf? What's wrong?"
This time it was the girl's turn to be stunned, silent for a long time, and she wondered, "Don't you dislike me for being a silver-haired half-elf?
Lin Jue felt a little confused, and said, "What am I afraid of you doing with you as a little girl?"
The corners of the girl's mouth squirmed, as if she didn't know how to speak, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly threw herself into Lin Jue's arms and cried.
Lin Jue was a little flustered, and said at a loss: "Hey, no, why are you crying again?" Don't cry, don't cry, I didn't provoke you, right?"
Lin Jue helped the girl up and let her sit on the chair, watching her gradually stop crying, and after a moment of silence, Lin Jue asked, "Hey, by the way, do you know where your home is?
The girl was a little depressed and said, "My hometown is in the Federation of Brandon, but I don't know where it is. When I was six years old, I was separated from my parents. I don't know how I got here, but when I was hungry, I picked some wild fruits, and when I was sleepy, I found a corner to sleep, and during the day, I kept walking, towards the direction of the rising sun. My mom told me that if I went down in the direction of the rising sun, I would find my mom. ”
Lin Jue sighed softly, a poor orphan, I really don't know how she has persevered for so many years.
The girl raised her head, stared at Lin Jue with expectant eyes, and begged softly: "Can you not drive me away and leave me by your side, no matter what you do." ”
Lin Jue was a little helpless, indeed, such a little girl, if she didn't help her, she might not know what kind of fate she would encounter in the future. Is it begging for the rest of her life? Or is it like the last time, almost beaten to death in the street? But what can you do if you leave her behind?
"Half-elf, maybe some talent. Why don't you ask the little phoenix?" Lin Jue thought secretly in his heart.
Lin Jue asked, "Are you literate?" By the way, you said that your hometown is in the Federation of Brandon, so do you know the language of your hometown?"
The girl nodded in response: "When I was a child, I took cultural classes every day, but I could only understand the characters of my hometown, and I could understand a little bit of Chinese characters. I speak a lot of languages, Brandon, Chinese, and the languages of several small countries around me. ”
Lin Jue looked at the little girl in surprise, and said secretly in her heart: "It seems that before she became an orphan, she was still a lady, this child has a good language talent, and it is not bad to stay by her side as a translator." ”
"Ah, by the way, I'm sorry I didn't ask you what your name was. Lin Jue scratched his head in embarrassment and asked.
Hearing this, the girl's eyes turned red, tears rolled in her eyes, Lin Jue looked at it, alas, it's over, and she is going to cry again.
"I don't remember my name, you can give me one, if you can, please give me a name with the surname Lin. ”
Lin Jue smiled and wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said with a smile: "You can do anything, but promise me, don't cry at every turn in the future." Hmm, if it's a name, or it's Lin Yue? Cheerful and happy Yue, remind yourself every day that you can't cry if you're happy, how about it?"
The girl smiled happily, but more tears flowed down.
"Thank you host for the name, it's nice to hear, I like it a lot. ”
"Master!?" The corners of Lin Jue's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly shook his head, and said, "Don't call me master, call me my brother, in the future, I will treat you as my own sister, you can stay by my side and be a translator." ”
After arranging this half-elf girl, everyone had already woken up, ready to go, and ready to march towards Splendid City.
Halfway through, in the bumpy carriage, looking at Lin Yue who was asleep, Lin Jue frowned, and asked Fenex who was lying beside him: "Little Phoenix, what kind of existence is a half-elf in this world?"
Phenice smiled: "No wonder you dare to accept her as a sister, it turns out that you don't know what a silver-haired half-elf is." ”
Lin Jue was stunned and wondered, "Is the silver-haired half-elf terrifying?
Hearing this, Phinex sat up straight, as if she had found a soulmate on this topic, and nodded her head in response: "Yes, yes, you think so too? ”
After a pause, Fenex continued: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the silver-haired half-elf has no elven blood, her ancestors are all humans. It's just that the human beings in this world have a chance to undergo a little mutation when they are born, so she grows a pair of pointed ears, and after she reaches the age of six, her hair will turn silver. In fact, half-elves are not terrible, because the combination of humans and elves will also give birth to half-elves, but only silver-haired half-elves are the objects that humans hate deeply. There is an institution in the Federation of Brandon, that is, the church that rules the religious beliefs of the entire Western world, and in their teachings, the silver-haired half-elf is the product of the extreme depravity of human beings, and the most evil existence, even if a young silver-haired half-elf comes to this world, it is a sin, and the sin cannot be forgiven. ”
Lin Jue scolded fiercely: ", Western religion is very harmful!"
Phinex waved her hand and said hatefully: "Although I am a phoenix in a Western religion and have nothing to do with the phoenix in the East, I agree with your words, and Western religion is not shallow to harm people." Do you dare to believe that more than 800 years ago, human beings who knew magic would have been tied to the stake and made into barbecues? It was these sanctimonious guardians who made the entire Western magic culture lag behind the Eastern charm culture by at least a thousand years! If my aunt and grandmother appeared on the street in that era, would even me, a divine beast, have to be tied up and roasted into a barbecue?"
Lin Jue shook his head helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: "Your ancestor who played with fire, when it really comes to that time, I don't know who burns it." ”
Phinex smiled and said, "Actually, I'm still very optimistic about this little girl, what kind of sin and depravity? What age is it?! Feudal superstition! How good it is for silver-haired half-elves, with a magic affinity that is more perfect than that of pure-blooded elves, with three times the lifespan of normal people, and with the top wisdom of human beings." I'm beginning to wonder if some old immortal who had been cultivating the doctrine in the first place was guilty of some silver-haired half-elf. ”
Lin Jue frowned and asked worriedly, "Then Xiao Yue'er, she won't have anything to do in the Yan Empire, right?"
Phinex waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, like your world, this is the oldest empire in the entire world, with a whole set of independent cultural heritages, and its own judgment criteria, no one will pay attention to the Bird Church." Although slightly influenced by the church, he didn't have a good impression of the silver-haired half-elves, but at most he was not welcomed. Besides, isn't her brother still the envoy of the Orlante Kingdom, and who dares to take her?"
Looking at Lin Jue, whose expression was still worried, Fendex said helplessly: "Okay, don't worry, it's useless to think too much, take a good rest, and you will be in Splendid City soon." ”
