Elite Mages’ Academy

With yearning and consideration for skills, Xiao Lin didn't fully concentrate on his work this day. He copied it once yesterday, and it will take seven days to use it next time. Moreover, his muscles are still sore from yesterday's gravity training. He seemed absent-minded in the morning's transcription, and soon Professor Brown went downstairs and pointed out in severe words that there were several serious grammatical errors in the part he had transcribed.

"Xiao, your spirit doesn't look very good." Brown also noticed that Xiao Lin's state was very sluggish.

"Professor, I went to the training hall yesterday, and I am still very tired. I think it will take some time to get used to it." Xiao Lin took the opportunity to say, "If possible, can I ask for a day off?"

Brown's face was very unhappy: "The current progress is very slow, I think you should know."

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Lin didn't expect this strict professor to agree, he shrugged his shoulders and said it's okay, then handed the transcribed volumes to Brown, and pointed to the volumes he specially circled with a red pen He said: "These places are not very easy to translate. From the perspective of the grammar of ancient Norma, they are not very smooth."

Ko Luoya raised his head and added, "I've seen those places too. They are all the content on the slate. It can't be that we made a mistake in splicing, or missed some letters. I think, Maybe there was an error when it was recorded on the slate."

Brown frowned, and said in a reprimanding tone: "Ancient Norma is a very rigorous language, and it is impossible for such low-level mistakes to occur. It is because your own level is not enough!"

Brown took it, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, with a hint of confusion flashing between his brows, repeated several times, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "It's strange, it doesn't look like the standard grammatical combination of ancient Norma, is it? Is there any grammar I haven't figured out? Impossible."

Xiao Lin was the closest, so he could hear relatively clearly. Thinking about it, Professor Brown seemed to be at the top level of Ancient Norma, if even he couldn't understand it. I don't even think about blaming myself.

Brown seemed to be a serious person. When he found that he couldn't even explain the grammar, the wrinkles on his face seemed to get deeper, and he paced back and forth. The others also had to put down their work, and waited curiously to see if Professor Brown could solve this problem.

"Could it be in reverse order? I remember that the ancient Norman language has this grammar." Koroya offered to suggest.

"No, it won't work." Brown shook his head.

"Abbreviation? It's like the abbreviation in English." Laurent thought.

"Impossible, there is no evidence that there is such a form of abbreviation in ancient Norma! I only believe in things with reliable data!" Brown continued to veto.

Everyone talked and suggested for a while. They were all denied by Professor Brown, and soon quieted down again. On the level of ancient Norma, they really couldn't give more help, that is, to put forward their own ideas a little constructively. After all, this is the adjudicator academy Things really have nothing to do with them.

Xiao Lin didn't say much, he had the lowest level and the least right to speak, and he flipped through the transcribed volumes while others were discussing. He can't understand the meaning of these words at all, but he can barely recognize the pronunciation of some sentences.

Xiao Lin had a sudden idea, and said in a half-joking tone: "Maybe it's a transliterated word? I mean a foreign word that doesn't appear in my own vocabulary, so I just replaced it with a character with a similar pronunciation. When I was learning English, I often If you do this, replace it with Chinese with a similar pronunciation..."

Laurent also laughed, with a sympathetic look on his face: "I understand what you mean, I did the same when I was learning Norma's common language!"

"Boring..." Ke Luoya gave the two of them a blank look. For someone who is really proficient in foreign languages, this kind of trick is obviously meaningless.

But Professor Brown's eyes lit up slightly. He said softly: "This is a good idea. If this is a transliterated word, what language is it transliterated?"

"It was the Judgment Academy that attacked the Thunder Kingdom back then,

It must be English. " Laurent said of course.

Koroya shook his head. He read out the untranslatable texts in ancient Norma, and said, "Obviously, this pronunciation cannot be connected with English anyway."

"Something like French?"

"Please! I don't think it's French!" Laurent, who was born in the French Academy, immediately denied it.

"Actually, let's think about it a little more. If you transliterate a word, the pronunciation may not be exactly the same. You also know that. Sometimes it is really difficult for the local aborigines to learn our language, and the pronunciation is very awkward."

Xiao Lin didn't speak. Anyway, from the pronunciation, he was sure that it was definitely not Chinese, but he thought for a while, spread his hands and said: "I said, why bother you, how many colonial colleges are there in total? It's not easy to try each language one by one. All right."

Everyone looked at each other and thought it was a good idea.

"There are a total of more than a dozen colonial colleges, but there were not so many when the Thunder Kingdom was established. The few colleges in South America and Africa were newly built in the past few decades, so they should be ruled out."

"I think what Xiao said is right, try everything!"

"Egypt speaks Arabic, right? Does anyone of us understand Arabic?"

"Let the Judgment Academy come forward, and go to the academy over there to find someone who understands, what's the problem!"

"Stop arguing!" Brown snorted, rubbed his head, and said, "Then let's try all the languages ​​we can master. Everyone comes from different countries and try their own mother tongue. , Xiao, let’s start with you!”

Xiao Lin read it perfunctorily a few times, then shook his head: "It's not Chinese."

"It's not French, I swear to God!" Laurent didn't even say aloud.

"English certainly isn't either."

...

Soon all the questions were asked, but in fact, no one came from many colleges. Not every college is like Shuguang College, which is completely separated from the border, but there are still students like Xiao Lin who understand the ancient Norma language.

"What about Russian?" asked Professor Brown.

"Without the people from the Russian War College, that nation, full of war madmen, would not understand the wonders of linguistics!" Koroya's tone seemed to dislike the War College.

"I know a little bit about Russian. My grandmother is Russian, but not very good at it." A tall, thin man answered in a low voice.

Koroya turned his head in embarrassment.

Brown didn't care about these details, and asked directly: "Then you read it, is this pronunciation similar to Russian?"

The man frowned and murmured for a while, but didn't express his opinion immediately. He looked a little nervous in front of Brown, and after deliberating for a while, he said, "Professor, I'm not sure, it doesn't look like standard Russian, but if you only look at the pronunciation To a similar degree, I feel that what this text expresses is more like a personal name, a Russian name!"
