Chapter 152: Centaur Origin 2
This is the ancient Greek word. The phonetic changes of modern Greek are relatively large, the most notable are: vowels do not distinguish between long and short, diad vowels disappear, βδγ three stops have completed fricative, air notes disappear, and all stresses are simplified.
In modern Greek, the plurality of nouns disappears, and the dative case is incorporated into the genitive, leaving only the nominative and genative, the accusative, and the accusative. Many irregular forms have been regularized. The adjectives haven't changed much.
The verb aspect is greatly simplified: the optative form has disappeared, and the declarative, subjunctive, and imperative forms remain; The indefinite past tense of the seven tenses basically disappears, and the tenses are mainly distinguished by the perfect and incomplete, and the middle verb in the three voices disappears, and the main dynamic and the dynamic are left.
Since then, the Greek language has been simplified, most notably because there is now only one accent left in Greek word symbols.
However, it is undeniable that many of the roots of modern Greek words are derived from ancient Greek, so if you have an understanding of ancient Greek, modern Greek words will be easier to understand and learn.
Rick's ability to speak Ancient Greek was due to Alice's desire to decipher a spell that used Ancient Greek as a spell. At that time, Rick, who lived a salted fish life every day, was ruthlessly pulled by Alice as a tool to help her find ancient Greek materials.
"Eva, Ellie. The two of you go and search their bodies to see if there is a key to open the cell. That's what the lead centaur said to the four centaurs behind him.
After listening to the leader, the two nodded, and walked towards the corpses of the four compatriots. The remaining two centaurs stood motionless.
When the two centaurs, named Eva and Ellie, knelt on the ground and groped for the carcass of the centaurs, the two centaurs in the rear raised their bows and arrows and looked around, always alerting for any centaurs to come.
It didn't take long for one of the centaurs to speak.
"Deli, are you sure the key to the cell will be on them? If not. We have four more innocent lives on our hands. ”
"Chuck, the cells in the tribe are guarded by four groups of people, and there are four keys that open to the cells. I received a tip-off that one of the men had just changed shifts with another group when they were ordered by the deputy patriarch to come out on patrol. And this group of people is these four compatriots at our feet. When they left the tribe, they did not return home. So the key to the cell door must still be on their hands. ”
The centaur named Deli was the centaur who had begun to command them first, and he flicked the tail behind him and looked at Chuck with a serious face.
Hearing Deli's answer, Chuck didn't speak, remained silent, and continued to guard his surroundings.
"Found it! Deli, you see if this is the key to the cell. ”
It wasn't long before a centaur named Ellie approached Deli with a brass-colored key, and asked Deli as he held up the key in his hand.
"Great. That's the key. With it, we can save the owner. Walk! Let's go back! ”
Holding the brass key handed over by Ellie, the usually serious Deli showed a long-lost smile, and he said happily to the four companions beside him.
The other four centaurs nodded their heads and looked at the brass key in Deli's hand, their eyes shining with a glimmer of hope called faith.
When they heard that the high priest had ordered their master to be burned at the stake this evening, the centaurs were in despair. In order to be able to rescue his master, Deli had to risk being expelled from the tribe and find the four of them to plot to infiltrate the cell and rescue the master.
As for whether a few of their centaurs would be discovered by their fellow tribesmen, they were completely indifferent to this question. As long as you can save the master before he is burned at the stake. Even if they are sacrificed, they are worthwhile.
Five centaurs hid the bodies of four centaurs under a dead tree and headed in the direction of the tribe with brass keys.
"Out of body!"
Unfortunately there was Rick standing above them, and he didn't want to let go of the centaurs who had killed their prey. Rick raised his wand and unleashed the Imperius Curse on the five centaurs.
Rick landed in front of the five centaurs and began to read their memories with a Regent telekinesis.
"Huh? These centaurs have been controlled by other wizards using the Imperius Curse? It's kind of interesting. ”
Before he could even begin to look through the memories of the centaurs, Rick, with his keen intuition, realized that someone had already used the Imperius Charm to control them before him.
Who could it be?
Rick was puzzled, the wizard who dared to cast the Imperius curse on the centaurs was no ordinary wizard. Although the magic resistance of the centaurs is not as high as that of the giants, it is not something that ordinary wizards can control.
From this point of view, the wizard who controls these centaurs is probably stronger than the Aurors.
Of course, the Aurors that Rick uses here for comparison are not the intern Aurors of Sinkenis, but the Auror subordinates in his hands, the secret Auror unit of the Magical Congress of the United States.
As for the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic, Rick didn't want to mention it. Aside from controlling a Dementor, it has no positive effect at all. After Voldemort was resurrected, he actually became Voldemort's minion directly.
Just like the British national power, the British Aurors are also getting worse day by day.
"Huh? It was a black mist that cast the Imperius Curse on them! A black invisible figure, isn't this the mysterious creature I'm looking for? He was still attached to the centaur's body. Then the master of these centaurs just spoke. It should be the centaur possessed by a mysterious creature.
This is really embraced by Lady Luck, and as soon as she comes to the Centaur Kingdom, she finds the mysterious creature that Alice wants. ”
From these centaurs who were enslaved by mysterious creatures, it was found that the centaurs possessed by the mysterious creatures at this time were being imprisoned in the cells of the centaur tribe.
Rick laughed happily.
He vanished past the centaurs in a flash, and the moment Rick vanished, the centaurs awoke. As if nothing had happened, they continued their march towards the centaur tribe.
And Rick had already used the Illusion Charm at this time, and followed them incognito.
Along the way, the centaurs evaded three patrols of the Centaur kingdom and finally approached a tribe of centaurs with a population of 100.
The five centaurs hiding in the grass looked at the four sturdy centaurs stationed at the tribe's gate, and several of them looked at Deli and waited for Deli to make a choice.
"We can't force our way. We're just new adults, and we can't beat those centaur warriors. So we need to enter through the secret passage. Let's go, let's go to the cliffs to the east. There are people there who are already waiting for us. ”
Looking at the horsemen who were stronger than him, Deli shook his horsetail and said to the four companions beside him.
