Chapter 6 _ Culture Conflict
Two months later, it was summer.
In the morning, Xi Ke sat in the living room of the Dragon's Den and read "The Translation Fallacy: The Invisible Cultural Alienation." The book is almost in Etheroan and Lamb N languages, and is a translation of the Great War historical commentary.
The Staff of Light is a scholarly group composed of many schools of thought, but the True God Cult insists that they are a theocratic religious group composed of many sects, and regards it as the greatest obstacle to missionary work in the country. This led to a confrontation between the "Evon Saarism" of the Scepter of Light (which does not have such a religion) and the Holy See's Cult of the True God of Danissa.
It is mentioned in the book that when the missionaries translated the oracle scriptures, they directly decided that the Etharatic equivalent of the Lamb word "drooter" was "dragon". Because the Duozhou culture is the strong culture of the present, and the Lamb language is the strong language of the present, this translation method has been directly spread to the whole world. "Zhuo Terrier" is the boss of the Devil of Duozhou, the king of evil.
Rick closed the book and stretched.
There are many dangers lurking in this world, and if you don't realize it early, it will turn into a catastrophe. However, "if you don't realize it early" means that this world seems to be very safe before the great tribulation comes.
It's as if you can go on with this life even if you don't do anything.
Waiting for Kaisi to go downstairs, he looked up and said to him, "Kaisi, in the afternoon, Master will teach Jiluma to write the Damora mantra, so let's go to the practice room and draw an energy suppression circle on the floor. The Energy Suppression Circle is a necessary protective measure when practicing writing spells that are prone to explosions, and because it requires technical skills, it is usually drawn by seniors first and used by juniors.
Kai Si was stunned for a moment before he said, "Okay. 」
Cheek raised an eyebrow at the pause in interest, "Ommidina is not in the habit of helping his younger siblings with protective spells?"
Kai Si walked over to a chair and propped his hand on the back of the chair: "Omidi is a student who pays someone to paint. He stood and said this before he turned to the front and sat down, reaching for the kettle and cup on the table, "I like this with Etara. 」
"Nothing good or bad. Rick said. The same problem is solved by Omidina in a capitalist way, and by Ethero in the relationship between people. Such cultural differences have even been heard of by people like Rick who have never been abroad. "In the future, Gilluma will also help others draw circles. Of course, there are always some stupid people who get help but don't help others, just like some people take goods and don't pay, so teach them a hard lesson at that time. 」
"I like it like Altaro. Kai Si grinned.
Hearing the word "like" in a row, even though it was said to the Ethero culture, Xike still felt a little shy. He said, "Anyway, let's go and draw the circle before breakfast. 」
Kai Si nodded.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
They went into the practice room. The practice room is a room built behind the dragon's nest in the earth mountain, and the ground is hardened soil, so you can directly engrave the magic circle on it, and just shovel up the surface and smooth it when you don't need it. Today, because we are going to use paint, we put a large sheet of thick paper on it.
Xi Ke plans to draw an international double-ring circle. This thing has an international standard version of the spell, and I think what he drew would not be much different from what Kai Si drawn. Xi Ke painted one side, Kai Si painted one side, and then picked up after the most lusk.
He took out the cotton rope with the red dot mark and the nail as a compass, calculated the length, drew the range on the ground, and divided it into twelve equal parts. He then had to write down the words from memory and check them later.
At the other end of the room, Kai Si took out an egg-like object and stuck it in the center of the circle, and the thing projected a complete color circle pattern, and he traced the line according to it.
I don't know who started the road first, but in short, both of them were not satisfied with each other's methods.
"It's easier that way, but when you draw the circle, you don't just have to draw the pattern, you also have to pay attention to the overall balance and the resonance of the venue, which has to be adjusted as you draw it. You can't do any of these things. 」
"If the shape of the circle is skewed, even if it is only a little bit, the flow of energy will not be even. This problem can only be avoided by using the instrument positioning, and it can also ensure that the size of the text is consistent. It's more powerful to use the back, but then the energy will flow turbulently. 」
When the two sides took out the pen, a second friction broke out. Nick pulled out a brush and a jar of ink from a regular bookstore, intending to finish drawing the area he was responsible for. Kai Si took out a paintbrush box that was no different from the toolbox, which was filled with colorful spell pens of various ingredients and different thicknesses.
"All of them are not separated by the same pigments, and the energy cannot be classified. If you use a pen of this irregular thickness, the energy flow will definitely be messed up. The width of the spell channel must be carefully calculated, and it will be a problem if you draw it casually. 」
"Guiding with brushstrokes is the cleanest way to do it. The multiple ingredients only increase the chance of unintended effects. It's so fancy and disrupts the senses, but it can't be unified. 」
The two sides were stubborn and quarreled in the practice room. When Gilluma got up, he followed the sound into the practice room, and found that the two brothers, whom he thought were both stable types, had an argument and fled back to the living room in fright. Until Ampat returned, dragging both of them into the living room.
The two men sat on the same side and each sat in a chair, and Ampat sat across from them. Giroumar sat on the other side. Ampat buried his face in his hands with a big head.
Kai Si Na is a long-standing practice of Omidina, and the positioning of the instrument and the special pen are also regarded as the mage style of the industrial powers. Xi Ke is the ancient civilization of Sarafayiduo, even if he doesn't have any tools, he can use a branch on the sand to get the magic out perfectly, which is the pride of the local mage.
Both of them felt that they were right.
Ampat thought for a while, then pushed the breakfast materials he brought back to the two disciples and said, "Let's make breakfast together. 」
The two of them put down their work for a while and went into the kitchen together.
The same culture shock happened again in the kitchen, but cooking was not their professional project, so they let each other do it in their own way and didn't quarrel.
In surprise, he watched as Kai Si took out a whole set of measuring cups and a spoon with marked capacity, and followed the recipe to accurately measure the amount of various seasonings before throwing them down. At one point, he took out a computer to calculate the heating time.
Kai Si was surprised to see Xi Ke directly grab the whole bottle of soy sauce, tilt the bottle on the top of the pot and pour it in, the salt is also dipped in chopsticks and put into the pot, the saltiness is actually smelled.
When everything was done, they returned to the living room with the finished product. The two of them each ate a bite of each other's food.
Kai Si looked up and said, "It's delicious. 」
The same thing was conveyed on the face of Xi Ke.
The disagreement between the two senior brothers on spells was thus resolved.
Ampat didn't say anything, he cared about giving Girouma meat.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After they returned from the royal capital, Gilluma cheered up and worked hard for a while, but it still seemed that something was wrong, and from time to time he would suddenly feel like he was deflated, and he had no motivation again.
After the meal, Syk caught Giluma and said, "Girouma, do you really want to be a mage?"
Gilluma craned her neck a little and replied, "Yes. 」
Looking at the tone of his answer, Xi Ke should be considered serious, but his learning attitude is not serious enough. Xi Ke said, "Master has arranged the course according to your learning speed, and he has cooperated too much. You're going to be lazy if you don't have a goal that you have to meet on time. 」
Gilluma didn't speak, he knew very well that it was useless to play tricks on Rick.
"I think he's worked hard. Ampat said.
"Master, you spoiled him. He squinted and said, "This man is used to being served, and you take such good care of him, he will only bring back all the bad habits he had in the Order. It is necessary to kick him out of the city for a while, let him review himself and take care of himself. 」
"Don't!" Giluma pleaded.
"Shall I release you into the mountains, or will I simply send you to the sea in a tuna boat?" said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will allow Master to save you before you hang up." 」
"I can go on board the Magic Tuna Boat. Ampat said.
"Master, don't interfere. You are a teacher, not a nanny. He said, "Why don't you go to work in the devil's shop?"
Xike originally just planned to scare Jiluma and make him feel a little crisis, but he didn't expect Jiluma to be more serious than Xike thought.
Gilluma said, "I want to go to the University of the Teacher. 」
Chik paused to wait for Girouma to explain.
Gilluma scratched her head with her fingertips, "My problem probably can't be solved with a little more effort. I needed an environment – I don't think I'm a good fit for one-on-one mentoring. 」
"You're fit to go to college, be chased by a class schedule, and a whole bunch of teachers eat up your time?"
Ampat, who has studied at Mage University, said, "Ah, well, going to Mage University is more rewarding than expected, because each teacher's expertise is different. Giruma didn't know exactly where his weaknesses were, so it would be better to go to the Mage University and show a few more teachers. The teaching at Mage University is still relatively comprehensive. Gilluma may be a good fit for this learning pipeline. 」
Rick thought for a moment and asked, "So what are you going to do?"
"I'll pay for him to read it. Ampat said. His running dividends were not used.
Xi Ke looked at Jiluma and said, "Do you know that the registration fee also costs money?" Although because it is a joint recruitment, it is enough to pay one registration fee, which is not expensive.
Girouma craned her neck. He wasn't nervous about the money, he was nervous about the way Rick looked at him. If Gilluma had paid Ampat and not prepared for the exam, it was likely that Syk would have actually put him on the tuna boat. Giluma said, "I know the word. 」
And so it was decided.
The time of peace continued.
