"You're in my mind. The thought says, "In the shijie outside, your thoughts are translated into words, and then you use them to communicate with people." But here, your language will be translated into thinking, and you will be able to communicate with me. 」

"Lord Moronis?" the shipowner, Lophis, rolled his eyes around, not knowing where to put them before he could speak to the other party.

"I am. I am the life to which your mind refers when you call this name. The thought replied.

In other words, in this thinking room, no matter what language is spoken, as long as the mind is clear, you can understand it.

"King Moronis, since you can understand what I say and feel my thoughts, then you should know that I am here to help you!" The shipowner, Lophis, pulled out a small gray-white stone the size of a thumb with a rough surface from his personal pocket. The stone looked ordinary, as if it had been made of cement, and it felt like it could be picked up around an abandoned house. The shipowner, Lophis, raised his hand with the stone to the height of his collarbone and said, "Please accept my Philosopher's Stone!"

"No, I don't trust you. Who knows if you're a secret guest of those thief ships!" said King Mononis's thoughts.

It was an amazing experience to communicate with Lord Moronise in this way. He's a fish, and the fish has its own language. To humans, that may not be a language. The grammar is very different from that of human, sub-human, and anthropomorphic languages. Language is to thinking what numbers are to mathematics. Humans think in language, just as their math is based on numbers. Different grammar also means different formulas. For example, as I just said, the phrase "I don't trust you" in human language is "you - you cannot be trusted - I think" in the language of fish. "Who knows if you're the assassin of those thief ships!" If not rearranged according to human grammar, the literal literal translation in fish language is: "You, the thief ships, are not or - the dark guests - sent by them!"

As for the term "dark guest", it is only found in the language of fish. Neither the Soni nor the Etharo standard language had words with the same meaning, so he had to invent his own vocabulary to express it. Just like the ancient mathematicians invented the number "zero". "Darker" means "to send someone to do what the mastermind wants him to do, without anyone knowing, even to the person who is being sent." That purpose was also known only to the mastermind, and the people who were dispatched didn't even know what they were actually doing. This man who was sent was the mastermind's assassin. 」

Language emerges as a result of its use, evolves with the needs of communication, and therefore represents the culture of a place. For example, in the standard language of Ethero that needs to be used in cold regions, there are more than 50 words to describe cold weather alone. The Etello standard language doesn't need to say sentences like "It's cold and humid today, the wind is strong, and there is a thick layer of dark clouds in the sky that will rain at any time", just three sounds of "Chacoli" and the listener will know all this. Even every element in it has a grade. If there is still light in some places, it is "Chacoba", if the whole sky is dark, it is "Chakoko", and if there has been a light rain, it is "Chagir".

Since fish don't think like this, and there are no of these words in the language of fish, they are not used when Syk translates the idea of King Moronis, which is full of the concept of fish language. However, there are many words in the language of fish that are not found in the standard language of Ethero, and it would be a great fallacy to replace them with a similar meaning.

King Moronise used a series of idioms related to ocean currents, which Rick could not translate. Not only because he couldn't find the right words to correspond to, but more importantly, because he didn't understand the concept. He had never seen the current that King Moronis had seen, so he couldn't understand what kind of liliang that current had to be used as an idiom.

"You human beings, always think that if you can talk with your mind, there will never be misunderstandings between people again. Try it, can you decipher my mind now—" King Moronise came with a powerful idea.

It may be a state of nature worship or a catastrophe related to ecological diversity, as if it were also linked to the law of immortality. No, he couldn't decipher it.

King Moronis said, "This is the most important central idea of our fish. 」

"I see, it's faith!" Naimo said.

"No!" King Moronise's thoughts roared in everyone's heads. In every culture, there are sentences that can be used to say that someone else is wrong, so there is no doubt about the translation of this sentence.

"Human faith is blind, and you have to believe before you can see miracles. The central idea of our fish cannot be refuted by unbelief, nor can it be strengthened by faith! You exalt yourself or find your own flaws in your faith, but the central idea of the fish has nothing to do with whether the fish is great or sinful! Man's faith must be related to man, and the central idea of fish does not need to be related to fish! Not all creatures regard faith as the most important idea!"

"I give up. I could find a bunch of similar words, but none of them really matched. Rick shook his head and said, "Unless I go to be a fish for a few years, I probably won't be able to understand it for the rest of my life." Rick felt that King Moronise's concept of so-called belief in human beings was also a little biased, but such a deviation was still within the normal error value of translation, but Nemo could not beat it.

King Moronis said, "Now that you understand the pitfalls of communicating with your mind, then we can really begin to communicate. 」

"Ideas are just words that don't use sounds and symbols, and they don't convey truth better. The shipowner, Lophis, muttered. Because people change language to match their thinking, language already shows a lot of thinking. Just like mathematics, for the sake of people's calculations, there are more and more symbolic marks and notations, and even negative numbers that are not in nature.

Captain Naringer said, "I've written papers about it. Civilians will think that if they know how to communicate with their minds, no one can deceive them, because ordinary people do not know how to deceive people with their minds, but are more familiar with the skills of deceiving people with words. It feels like in addition to meeting and talking to someone on a regular basis, and installing a camera in that person's bedroom to peep, of course, you can know more truths. But if the other party usually knows how to communicate with his mind, and the bedroom is disguised like a façade at any time, in this case, believing that what he sees must be true, not only will there be no additional gain, but he will also be deceived more completely. 」

Rick clapped his hands and said, "You can explain such an esoteric theory so simply, you are a true intellectual. 」

"I've always hated obscure words. Captain Naringer shrugged, a simple smile on his face that had been through so much hardship.

"Human beings are always looking for the same place in others as themselves, even the mind. Therefore, no matter how you communicate, you will never be able to resolve all misunderstandings. Because human beings will refuse to understand different thoughts from themselves, and even violently deny that there are differences in each other's hearts. If you can't accept that there are similarities and differences, you will have already completed the difficult misunderstanding before the communication begins. King Moronis said, "Like now, you would rather say that I am a 'fish that understands the language of men.'" 」

"Actually, he understands, right? Naimo shook his head.

"Master, you'd better say a few words. Lisna frowned.

"King Moronis, please believe me!" The shipowner, Lofes, raised the Philosopher's Stone higher, and decided to target the crumpled crump at the top of the room, shouting, "Although words are so powerless, and ideas cannot dissolve the barriers, even if communication is full of pitfalls, I can only ask you to believe me in this way!

"This ocean is not only a dwelling place for you and your people, but also very important to me and my people!

"You're a human with a little exposure to the central idea of a tiny fraction of fish. There was a pause in Lord Moronis's mind before he continued, "But that still doesn't mean you're trustworthy, and that your Philosopher's Stone actually has the effect you claim. Humans often lose their most important part in order to preserve added value. Or even more ridiculous - trying to achieve the ideal in the wrong way, and then denying it in the face of the consequences.

"There's a way for you to show your true nature, come, curse a dirty word!"

"Huh?" Rick arched his shoulders.

"In language, swear words are special. It doesn't matter what a swear word literally means, it doesn't really matter what it means. When any word becomes a swear word, it is a swear word. It's not excrement, genitals, or some scornful occupation, but it's a special part of speech like "swearing." Only swear words can transcend cultural differences without the same spirit, and only it cannot cause any misunderstanding, because it is swearing. King Moronise said this in a tone that sounded like he was publishing a paper.

Captain Nalinger interjected anxiously, "I think this argument is familiar to me, isn't it—" He said a man's name.

King Moronis said, "Your guess is right. That's what the human told me. It was your first mate who told me this. 」

Captain Naringer clenched his fists excitedly, "Where's the others?" It seems that this is the last missing crew member he is looking for.

"In that battle that took you seven years to step into another shijie and it took seven years to return, he fell out of the ship and was swallowed in my mouth. I had a philosophical conversation with that human being. Since then, I have been obsessed with swearing, and I have searched around for humans who are good at swearing, and I have a conversation with them. Unfortunately, most humans don't want to talk to me.

"When he couldn't suppress his longing for the sun, I sent him to an island. The inhabitants of that island still maintain the annual Glorious Fish Festival, and they have a good relationship with my ethnicity. He married the women of the island, started a family, and the last time he went to see him, his children had grown to the height of an adult's waist.

"If you want to see him, I can let my children and grandchildren show you the way. 」

"Yes, I want to see him. Thank you very much!" Captain Nalinger would have been so happy that he would have jumped all over the room if he had been twenty years younger, but he suppressed the urge and just paced briskly back and forth in the room.

Although this matter has nothing to do with him, he is still happy, "So you can go back to Atero. 」

"Back to Altaro? yes, I should go back. But before I can do that, I'll have to make a trip to Norcast. Captain Nalinger smiled and waved.

"Why?" Rick felt that something was wrong.

"I have made a deal with the Norcaster government that if I can solve the problem of piracy, I will have a monopoly on three of the routes that were previously occupied by pirates and impassable, as well as the export rights of twelve commodities that are not currently open to Earth. The Lost Island has been ruined. Although I wasn't there, my trusty subordinates were able to take care of the rest. Captain Naringer said.

Cheek was dumbfounded, and it took two seconds before he said, "So you're committed to fighting the slave market, not because of justice?"

"Of course there is justice. Responsibility is also a very important reason. But if there is a little more benefit to this, it is not a bad thing. I will uphold justice and benefit at the same time. Always think about the long-term future. Captain Naringer raised an eyebrow.

Rick was speechless. It can only be said that the rich people—no, Captain Naringer has no money now—the elites really think differently from mortals.

The shipowner, Lophis, asked King Moronis, "Why swearing, and even if it can transcend language, what does it have to do with nature?"

King Moronise replied, "Due to the special nature of swearing, it is not enough to be good at swearing and beautiful in sound in order to speak well. Whether it is a famous singer or a master of speech, it does not mean that he can curse good swearing.

"To swear well, you must have a clear emotion in your heart that you want to swear. When a human being is swearing, he is not saying that word, but venting his soul and expressing his true nature. When you swear, you will inevitably show this shijie what kind of person you are.

"Therefore, swearing can be used to judge people.

"Whether his soul is garbage or a gem, it will be exposed in that moment. 」

Captain Naringer smiled wryly and rubbed his cheeks with both hands, "Oh my God, I've heard all this theory. 」

The shipowner's lips opened slightly, and kept trembling, but he just couldn't scold. A well-bred man like him, who has never been in the lower classes, may have a good literary attainment, but a sadly shallow prowess. Swearing would expose this flaw of his, and at the same time violate the decent training he received on a regular basis, so it was a very difficult thing for him to do.

"I'll try. Captain Nalinger offered to help the shipowner, Lofes, demonstrate. He cursed a very common swear word, interpreted it in a tone that wanted to throw something under his feet. It was as if he heard the sound of objects being slammed against the ground or wall.

King Moronise said, "Yes. You hate inflexible humans and rigid systems. That's what you think about when you swear, and it's the reason why you want to swear the most. At the same time, you're a hands-on human, so you interpret swear words in a tone that is relevant to hands-on behavior. You like to be influential around you, you like to make a difference, and your swear words are contactive. You value social status quite a bit, and what you identify as social status is related to that human contribution to society, so you use waste as the subject to swear. 」

"Oh my God, you can really do psychoanalysis. Try it for me. Namo's mouth widened. He cursed a swear word about a mind full of wrong thoughts. Speaking in a disdainful tone, the expression on his face was as if he had smelled something.

King Moronis said, "For you, what is in your head determines a person's worth. You hate people who are full of fallacies, you hate people who spread false ideas everywhere. But you have quite a few superficial similarities to the type you hate, and you probably can't tell the difference between humans other than yourself. 」

Nemo pouted and puffed out her cheeks in disagreeing with the result, but Lisna leaned her head on Nemo's shoulder and said, "That's accurate. 」

Nick saw if the shipowner, Lophis, was ready, but his lips trembled and he couldn't say dirty words. Rick sighed, it was his turn.

Xi Ke concentrated his mind and scolded a national scold with all his dissatisfaction with this shijie and all his grievances about his inverted frieze. The tone of this national curse is strong and brave at the beginning, magnificent in the middle, and endless sadness at the end, expressing the ups and downs of life in a single note.

"You're a good human being. That's all King Moronise had to say.

"That's it?" asked Rick.

"That's all. King Moronise replied with a sobbing sensation in his thoughts, as if he had just seen a tear-jerking play.

For the sake of etiquette, no one would ask a woman to use swear words. Lisna didn't have to swear to it, so now everyone looked at the shipowner, Lofis.

The shipowner, Lopis, struggled. Choosing between his mission, his ideals, and his preconceptions about swearing. He struggled for thirty seconds before he cursed a profanity about human organs in a voice that looked like he was having trouble breathing.

King Moronise said, "I see, you are a man who values your elders very much. You like to live a happy life, and you don't like to have conflicts with people. But you are also quite a powerful person, and you have enough self-reflection to keep yourself from going astray. I decided to trust you. 」

"Thank you. The shipowner, Lophis, breathed a sigh of relief, as the need to swear seemed to put a lot of pressure on him. He grasped the palm of the philosopher's stone and opened it, and the philosopher's stone emitted a burst of burning white light and disappeared. There were no sparks or anything like that.
