Chapter 3 Passing by another Lafayette
Laura watched a translucent figure that could only see vague shapes at first, but slowly became clear and real, and finally had a more intuitive sense of the situation that David had described earlier.
With such an incredible sight, it's no wonder that David had that reaction.
Compared to Laura's attention to how the figure slowly became 'real', David carefully looked at the new person to see if he could recognize who the new person was.
The result disappointed him, and when the other party finally revealed his true appearance, David couldn't immediately recognize who this unusually strong-looking, bearded-looking middle-aged man was.
When David and Laura were looking at each other, the middle-aged strong man also noticed the two of them, and at the same time stopped his steps as if he noticed something, and looked around with a vigilant face: "May I ask what place is this?" ”
The middle-aged strong man asked in a language that David had never heard before, but David found that he could actually understand the other party's words, and even figured out how to answer the other party's question in this unfamiliar language the moment he listened to the question.
“……”
After a moment of silence, I thought carefully in my mind, and soon 'learned' that my newly mastered language was also called a lingua franca, but it was not the same language as the human lingua franca used in this world.
As for his sudden mastery of a new language, he suspects that Laura's initial reward for himself is not just knowledge of English, but some kind of more powerful ability.
"Hello, this is the pioneer camp in the northern part of the Kingdom of Tiran, I'm the village chief David here, do you need any help?" David answered the other party's question using the lingua franca of the new 'learned', much to Laura's surprise.
Laura had a linguistic talent comparable to that of Kaihang, having heard David's lingua franca before, and David's apparently two very different languages at this time.
After hearing David's answer, the strong man on the opposite side showed an obvious puzzled look on his face: "Tilan Kingdom? After thinking for a few seconds, he asked, "How far is this from East Wild?" ”
"I don't know where you say East Wild?" David shook his head, saying that he had never heard of this place, and guessed in his heart that the people who might come to him inexplicably were not necessarily people he was familiar with.
The other party's enthusiasm had made the strong man let his guard down, but David's answer made him even more puzzled: "Stratholme? Kingdom of Lordaeron? Have you ever heard of these names? ”
"......" David didn't react on the surface, but he was surprised in his heart. He was very familiar with these two place names, but it was inconvenient for him to answer directly that he knew, and at the same time kept guessing the identity of the person in front of him in his heart.
Seeing that David didn't speak, the strong man's thick eyebrows twisted even more, and he decided to introduce himself first and then ask for more information: "Hello, my name is Tirio Ferdin, I may be lost...... Maybe you need to borrow a night in your village. ”
As one of Azeroth's most famous paladins and no stranger to mystical powers, he suspects he may have encountered some kind of spatial shift.
I don't know where I've been sent? Judging from the reaction of the young man in front of him just now, there is a high probability that he has left the Eastern Kingdom.
Here Ferding pondered the strange things he had experienced, and David was surprised in his heart at the identity of this strong man in front of him.
Tirio Fortin, a disciple of Archbishop Alonthos Fao of the Order of Light, one of the original five paladins in the world of Azeroth, has participated in many great battles, fought orcs, destroyed natural disasters, faced the Lich King, and resisted the Void Demons.
Speaking of which, Fording has far more stories in World of Warcraft than several other original paladins, so he is very popular and is revered as Lafayette by many Warcraft fans.
I didn't expect this famous paladin to come here too!
While recalling all kinds of information about this Lafayette, David silently organized the language, ready to tell the actual situation directly to the paladin in front of him.
There is no need to hide some things, and the other party is not stupid, even if David doesn't say it, Fording will soon find out that something is wrong.
It's better to tell the other party directly, which can be regarded as showing some kind of attitude and improving his favorability - if Fording is willing to teach him how to use the Light, David will earn it.
It's not that he thinks the Holy Light is powerful, but that the Holy Light has excellent healing and disease removal capabilities, and in this relatively backward world, David, who lives alone in a remote area, is most worried about injuries and illnesses that will not be treated in time.
There was nothing to do before, but now that the paladin Ferdin, he was too stupid if he didn't grasp it well.
"There are some situations that need to be explained to you."
Describing the magical way of Ferdin's appearance, and the example of Laura, who also came here from 'another world', Davy easily explained the situation.
Fordin's acceptance speed is also faster than Lara's, because he comes from a world that often fights with people from other worlds, and his acceptance of another world or something is much higher than Lara's.
"Isn't this Azeroth?" Fordin grabbed his hair a little messy, he didn't expect that he would get lost and go straight to another world, no wonder this young man named David hadn't heard of the kingdom of Lordaeron: "However, why do you know the lingua franca of Azeroth?" ”
"I don't know, I seem to have some kind of strange ability, and I suddenly understand this language after meeting you." After a while, David had figured it out:
Laura can learn a new language in a short period of time through various fragmentary records on ancient ruins and stone tablets. The initial reward he received from Laura was likely to be an upgraded version of this ability, rather than the English knowledge he had originally guessed.
This discovery made him very happy, and the appearance of Ferding confirmed his speculation about his golden finger: he activated it after becoming the village chief. This means that there will be more people from all over the world in the future. With this ability, he doesn't have to worry about language.
David was ecstatic in his heart, and Fording didn't feel unacceptable to David's explanation, but just looked at David a few more times.
As the few people spoke, it was already completely dark, and Fording had noticed that Laura and David were carrying firewood to the wooden house, so he offered to help, and the three of them quickly prepared enough firewood, lit a fire in the wooden house, and then gathered around the campfire and talked.
Laura doesn't know the lingua franca of Azeroth, Ferdin's doesn't know English, and the conversation between the two requires David to act as an interpreter, but in general it doesn't make a difference.
After chatting for a while, Laura had come to believe in the fact that she had come to another world, and the presence of Fording broke the last trace of doubt in her heart.
The suspicion in her heart completely dissipated, coupled with the recent disasters such as shipwreck, heavy blows, stabbing, and falling into a mountain stream, Laura soon fell asleep after completely relaxing.
David helped Laurado cover the quilt and then sat back on his bed to continue chatting with Fordin.
Fording did not tell about his past achievements, but said that he had left home for some reason and was wandering around without a fixed place, and ended up here in a daze.
"If you don't like it, you can stay in the village for a long time."
Listening to Fordin's description, David finally figured out the other party's current situation: in the story of Warcraft, Fording was exiled because of a conflict with his subordinates and helping and rescuing an orc, and after wandering around for a while, he chose to live in seclusion somewhere in East Wilde - East Wilde will be renamed the more well-known Plague Land by many people in the future because of the ravages of natural disasters and plagues, which is why David previously said that he had not heard of East Wild, and after so many years, this kind of detail has long been recalled.
"Sounds like a good suggestion." Fording didn't resist David's invitation, he didn't really want to go at any point at this time, he just wandered around.
didn't agree to come down immediately, it's just that he can't let go of his wife and son at home, and now that he is in another world, he will inevitably think about how to go back? After all, when he was exiled, he was still in Azeroth, and he missed his wife and children and could still take a few glances when he secretly went back; Now I want to go back and see if I can go back?
Fording stopped talking, and David lay down on the bed, and the only thing in the big cabin was the occasional sound of the fire, and his consciousness gradually became trance-like, and by the time he woke up again, it was already dark.
David sat up, the fire not far away was still burning, the prepared firewood had been used up, and it was obvious that someone had been watching over the fire all night.
"No wonder I slept until dawn." There is no way to sleep soundly on your own days, except for getting up from time to time to watch the fire, and being careful to guard against the attacks of wild beasts.
Last night was different, with a paladin like Fording and a good character by his side, he didn't have to worry about his safety at all, David hadn't been so relieved for a long time.
Just as he wondered where Ferding had gone, the door to the cabin was opened, and more sunlight shone in, waking Laura up.
First sat up vigilantly, and then remembered his miraculous encounter, Laura pulled out a helpless smile, and at the same time said good morning to David: "Good morning, David." ”
"Good morning, Laura."
Ferdin, who was standing by the door, saw that both of them were awake, and also greeted them, and said a message that surprised them: "Good morning, both." I think I know how to get back into my own world. ”
"What?" Through David's translation, Laura was thrilled to understand what this sentence meant, and she was the one who was most eager to go back among the few people present: "What to do?" ”
"It's very simple, just find a direction to walk out of the village, and think in the bottom of your heart that you can return to your own world."
