16. Dog thief
Hearing Nie Yuan's answer, Count Lilian was stunned, looked at Nie Yuan and said, "Do you think I will let you go home empty-handed?" β
Nie Yuan smiled politely: "Miss Lilian, I think your beauty and elegance will move anyone, but in the future, we will stay in Rui Eucalyptus City for a long time." β
Seeing this, Buck on the side also said: "Lord Earl, Nie Yuan was injured on the way here, and he has not fully recovered yet, and he needs to recuperate for a while.
Originally, he would have stayed at my bookstore, but thinking that his profound knowledge and wisdom might interest you, I deliberately brought him to meet you. β
This is a diversion.
The companions didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Nie Yuan's refusal, they were just partners, of course, they absolutely followed Nie Yuan's own ideas.
An Earl of Lilian, even though he has a deep royal city background, is not worthy of their deliberate subservience.
Even Miranda and Aztec are just acting with her, including Count Lilian, who definitely knows it.
Count Lilian looked at Nie Yuan in surprise and said, "Whether it is face or temperament, it is pleasing to the eye, but...... Old Buck, you know what I'm interested in, I don't think that at Nie Yuan's age, he would accumulate such deep knowledge. β
Buck said confidently: "That's why I said, there is also wisdom that is different from ordinary people, so that he can easily learn and extract knowledge that ordinary people can't understand." β
"Oh?"
Count Lillian answered, and then glanced at the pawnshop owner who had brought Buck in.
The pawnshop owner also immediately captured the meaning of the Earl, and his own duty was only to bring Buck and his party here, and the rest was not his responsibility.
It's just that Count Lillian has been talking just now, and it is difficult for him to interrupt.
The pawnshop owner bowed slightly and said, "Lord Earl, then my subordinates will go back, and I still need to manage the pawnshop's business." β
Lilian nodded slightly, raised her slender fingers, and said, "Go ahead." β
"Yes."
As he spoke, he took a few steps back, entered the entrance of the tunnel, and left here.
The moment he entered, the gate hung down from the top of the tunnel, or rather a split wall, because it was engraved with reliefs consistent with the surrounding walls, and the entrance to the cave was tightly stitched, so that there was no trace of strangeness to be seen.
Now, in the entire grand hall, only Buck and the others and Lillian are left.
No, Nie Yuan just thought so, but saw something suddenly flickering in the shadows behind the big chair where Lilian was sitting.
He looked at it and was dazed, only to see there stood a tall, thin man with one hand behind his back, wearing some kind of special black and red uniform.
I didn't notice it just now, there was anyone there.
This tall man, as if blending into the thick shadow of the back of the chair behind Lilian, did not have the slightest disobedience, and if he did not look closely, he would not find anyone at all, not even ......
Nie Yuan was still thinking just now, Count Lilian was really big.
Let the only subordinate leave, stay alone in this closed space with everyone, aren't you afraid of any problems?
Now it seems that there must be more people than she thought, how can she easily put herself in danger, Buck is not her trusted subordinate, and she and the others are only meeting for the first time.
The tall man who had melted into the shadows before, and now showed a little bit of his figure, was Count Lilian's protection?
Perhaps, it is precisely because of the first time that he and others came that they didn't know the etiquette.
That's why people deliberately showed up after the pawnshop owner left, in order to intimidate Buck's group of relatives.
It means that Count Lillian still has his loyal dog, and the rest of the people had better pay attention to their words and not lose their manners.
Except for Nie Yuan, who was suddenly startled, the other companions were not very surprised, as if they had already observed that there were always people standing in the shadows of the shadows.
Count Lilian looked at Nie Yuan with interest and said, "Then Buck, can you tell me where Nie Yuan's wisdom is embodied, listening to your description, it doesn't seem to be a joke, then I am more interested in him." β
Buck said confidently: "He has an understanding of anything ancient that is different from ordinary people, so that I am far from the dust, even if I am a wise man of the church, I think it is far from him, even ...... Nothing. β
Buck thought he was telling the truth, because he had seen Nie Yuan's extraordinary understanding of the language of the outer gods, and he had a deep understanding of the correct and round pronunciation of the word.
That kind of smoothness is almost as smooth as his own mother tongue, which is incomparable to any church researcher, and they can't even deliberately brew and train, but they can't replicate Nie Yuan's familiarity, and they can't completely restore the tone that the outer god language should have.
One is because of the whispers of the outer gods that come through the dimension, which loses too much timbre and is full of noise.
No one can decipher the two, and the full meaning of a whole sentence of outer god whispers is naturally difficult to simulate its tone.
After all, I don't even know what the meaning is, and how can I read it out smoothly in the tone it should be.
In addition to the knowledge related to the outer gods, the relics and deeds left by the ancient gods are also long and profound enough, but under the erasure of the church for thousands of years, the world has forgotten the truth.
It is difficult to erase, and what is presented to the world is also tampered with, and it is covered with a vague veil, making it difficult for people to restore the true appearance.
Who knows the deeds of the ancient gods better than the heirs of these ancient gods?
Nie Yuan casually extracted some fragments of the truth, and then refined them with words that Count Lilian could accept, isn't that more than any surviving book, the head is Tao and fascinating.
Nie Yuan, the outer god, is absolutely unsurpassed.
The ancient god Nie Yuan is also the only seven in the world with a deep understanding, because only their seven companions have survived.
And the sworn enemies of the old gods, those thieves who call the main gods, even more so!
After all......
Your mortal enemies often know you better than your friends!
Not to mention that in the long years, Nie Yuan must have accumulated countless profound knowledge like other companions, and each of them is a witness to history and a person who has experienced it firsthand!
Therefore, Nie Yuan is a wise person who cannot be compared with the elders of the church, who can have an opinion?
Isn't that wrong?
When Lilian heard this, she naturally became more interested, and she said, "Seriously, Buck, I should never believe what you say, but I just know that you won't lie to me, so ...... Do you think Nie Yuan can help me understand this book in depth? β
As she spoke, Count Lillian picked up the ancient book beside her, rolled half of the pages behind it, revealed its contents, and shook it in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be an ancient book about the whispers of the outer gods, and the words of this world simulated the syllables of a certain whisper of the outer gods in a homophonic way.
It is also full of the author's dense notes and speculations on the whispers of the outer gods.
Buck took the above content in his eyes roughly, and his heart was even more confident.
He smiled lightly and said, "The Outer Divine Language, it is indeed extremely obscure, no matter how wise it is, it is difficult to find its true meaning, but ...... Nie Yuan's understanding in this regard is definitely stronger than anyone else's. β
"Really?"
Lilian put the book on the table, pointed to the low transliteration of the outer gods that had been handed down from ancient times, and said, "Then Nie Yuan, can you read this passage and even cut out the meaning of it?" I know it's hard, just barely pronounce it, and as for the meaning, you can tell me what you think, after all, no one can really decipher this sentence. β
Buck and the others also looked at Nie Yuan with absolute confidence and let him start performing.
Although the others hadn't personally heard Nie Yuan read the whispers of the outer gods, Buck was an expert in any ancient knowledge, and from his mouth, everyone heard the admiration of Nie Yuan's ancient wisdom for the second time today.
Of course, it is impossible to deceive one's own people.
Nie Yuan should also be amazingly talented, because this is their companion, the descendant of the ancient gods!
When Nie Yuan saw everyone, he was full of expectations and curiosity about himself, and he could only step forward.
Before, when Buck was bragging about his erudition and knowledge, Nie Yuan's scalp was already numb.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't do it, he really wanted to rush forward and forcibly cover Buck's mouth and tell him to stop talking.
I fooled you in the morning, what awakened the ancient wisdom, just to coax you to talk.
I don't know the world as well as you drag a passer-by out of the street.
I'm an expert on the whispers of the outer gods, but I haven't figured out what the concept of the outer gods is in the eyes of the world.
The history of the Old Gods, I am even more blank, only last night in your library, a little bit of information was flipped through.
I know only fourteen of the existing gods, and I don't even remember all their titles.
Doesn't this mess up with you.
What if I can't hold a fart later, what will I do?
Later, when he heard that it was a book about the whispering of the outer gods, Nie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was fortunate that it was such a book, if it was someone else, it would be over.
At least in this regard, I can still have a little say, and I can't say a few words in Chinese, English, or something, and fool around for the time being.
But when he stepped forward and saw the words in the book that Lillian was pointing to, he was dumbfounded.
I saw that this sentence was also transliterated from the outer god in a different world script, and there were some "#" symbols on it, which meant that some bytes were completely distorted and could not be recorded.
However, it should have been what he was good at, but Nie Yuan couldn't understand it for a while.
I saw that it was written-
[Wo##εΎ·ζ²##ε#(Transliteration of different worlds)γ
So.
Fertile.
Morality.
Ditch.
Thick.
How can these syllables form a complete sentence in the language they know?
Nie Yuan was blindfolded anyway, without any clue.
He was wondering if this was a copycat book, which was taken out by the author to fool people, or if he didn't hear clearly at all, what the outer god whispered.
After all, how can there be so many "#" symbols, representing inaudible syllables, and Buck also said that many ancient books are impostors that he can't distinguish.
However, in the expectant eyes of everyone, Nie Yuan was far from it, and he instinctively held back the sentence in his native language:
"I'll you, dog thief, Houli crab?"
