Chapter 9 A word is not an understanding
"Estrid" rested for seven days, no longer smiling silly, with a calm expression on his face, interested in all sorts of things.
The girl finally didn't need to be taken care of, but Brian was reassured, she seemed to have a basic understanding of the world, she no longer put a pillow in her mouth, at least she could tell what she could eat and what she couldn't, and she could communicate with everyone in simple language.
Brian decided to have Estride have breakfast with everyone this morning.
"Say hello, Estrid, this is my father and mother, and that is Miss Sarina, who made us breakfast. Brian took the girls by the hand and introduced them one by one.
Estrid nodded to Congreve and said, "Hello, human. ”
The milk in Congreve's mouth squirted to the ground.
"Hello, human. Unmoved, the girl greeted Doreen again.
"You're good, what a beautiful child, what's wrong. Doreen lamented, "Let's sit down and eat." ”
"Hello, human. Estride did not forget to greet Sarina before she sat down, "Ah, bread and eggs, bread with fried eggs, delicious." ”
Everyone looked at each other and felt a little frightened by the meal.
Brian looked at Estrid, the girl who came from heaven, with a flawless look and figure, blonde curly hair, a goose egg face, long eyelashes like a brush, big fluttering eyes, a straight high nose bridge, a cherry mouth, snow-white and flawless skin, and a well-proportioned body, like a beautiful doll made out of it, impeccable from top to bottom, except for her intellectual problems, of course.
Brian remembers that after the Misty Forest opened the metal box, a virtual soul of a light body once suggested that the girl should be an empty shell. Brian guessed that Estrid's head was empty, without a soul, and that she needed a three-month recovery period after receiving a virtual soul. Probably so, but it is incomprehensible how Estrid, who was originally just an empty shell, suddenly sobered up for a while and pulled herself back from the line of death.
"Why did you save me that day?" Brian asked, trying.
"You are the target, you can't die. Estrides ate her bread slowly, "I sense danger. ”
"What am I aiming for?" Brian wondered.
The girl thought for a while and bowed her head and said, "Milk, nutritious and delicious." ”
"Well, remember what you said about seven million years ago?" Brian had to ask the next question.
"Seven million years, St. Ossidine, the Great Monster, Estrid, write notes. The girl looked up and replied.
"Yes, yes, it's the Estrid's Notes, do you remember the content, it always appears in my dreams, but it's only a little bit of the front, and I'm about to memorize it. Brian repeated it again to remind the girl. "Now that I think about it, how ignorant and ridiculous our excitement and anticipation are! The whole world has finally come to the brink of destruction with our efforts, and it may not last for three months, and the beautiful Tula Star is nothing but dust and storms, and there is no longer a trace of life!"
Estridus thought for a moment and replied, "Give me pen and paper, and I can write it." ”
Brian quickly ran into his room and brought pen and paper, Doreen and Sarina had already vacated the table, only Congreeve grumbled, got up and went to get the fishing rod, he made an appointment with a few old men in the town to go fishing in the Blue Moon River today.
The girl lay on the table, took the pen and began to write, and in a moment she wrote hundreds of words, full of one, but everyone found that no one recognized what she wrote, not even a word.
"What kind of text is this?" Brian took "Estrid's Notes" and read it for a long time, but couldn't understand it at all, and turned to ask Sarina.
"I don't know, maybe it's not human words. ”
"Could it be that the elven language, the dwarven goblins, and our language are universal, and the other races don't seem to have their own scripts?" Brian thought.
"Show it to those who understand, it's useless to guess. Doreen suggested.
Brian suddenly thought of something, wrote the word "human" on another blank piece of paper, and asked, "Astrid, do you recognize these two words?"
"Human, I have studied your writing. The girl replied.
"Great, now you have translated what you have written into human words, translation, do you understand?"
"Translation, I understand, but my head is damaged, and it's a little ineffective. Estrid replied.
"Damage, what does that mean?" said Brian anxiously.
"It's what I wrote, and I don't recognize it anymore. ”
"I'll go, let's continue eating. Brian was speechless.
Brian felt frustrated, he had a vague feeling that Estrid's Notes must be carrying important information, but it was really worrying that the girl had already written it and didn't know the content. Brian had no choice but to instruct Sarina to pick out some words and copy them down, out of order, and go to the big city to ask the scholars. He went to the room, turned on the mirror crystal, and prepared to talk to Helois from the Vault Farm.
"Imaging communication crystals. Estrid pointed to Crystal.
"Why did you come along?"
"You are the target, and I will follow the target. The girl replied.
"What the hell do you say this is, what the hell is imaging communication?"
"It's not a ghost, it's a crystal. Estride corrected.
"Okay, you wait. Brian saw that Helois had come to the crystal, took out a few words he didn't recognize, and showed them to her. "Ask the scholars in the castle if anyone knows these words?"
"It's a lost ancient script, how can you have it?" said Helois, in surprise.
"It turned out to be an ancient script, does anyone know what it means?"
"Most people don't know that the Fergus family has been studying for two hundred years and can only understand a few simple words. ”
"Do you have Estrid's Notes too?" Brian was shocked.
"What notes? We don't, when Grandpa comes back, you come to the farm and tell me about it face to face, I don't know. Heroise said.
"Only wait for Master Dunbar to come back. Brian said goodbye to Helois and stroked the mirror crystal with his hand, which was a good thing, as long as both parties had it and recited a short spell to achieve long-distance calls, it was so much more convenient. Brian calculated, another crystal should be sent to Maple Leaf Town, why hasn't Daicy reported the situation to him yet, is there something wrong? Viscount recited the spell agreed with Maple Leaf Town, and said to the crystal ball, "Daisy, how is the matter of exterminating the thieves?"
It took a long time for Daisy's embarrassed voice to appear: "I'm sorry, Lord Viscount, we haven't found a shadow of thieves, and the night before yesterday, they also attacked the town's vault and robbed three hundred gold Sauron. ”
Brian was furious: "Then why didn't you delay reporting until now?"
