Heavenly Dao Formula

It just so happened that the princess was in the Privy Council Palace at the moment.

After greeting her, Xia Fan directly found a carriage and parked it at the entrance of the cell, asked Li to lead her into the carriage, then closed the curtains, and drove all the way to Fengyang Villa.

Relying on Li's meditation technique, Elf fell into a coma shortly after boarding the car. After arriving at the villa, her mental state was much more stable than before, and she tried to communicate with gestures. It's a pity that apart from being able to understand the meaning of her coming from the sea, other gestures can only stay at the stage of guessing.

"How is it? Is there any progress?" In the evening, Ning Wanjun also returned to the villa. The first thing she did was to check the situation in Xia Fan's courtyard.

Xia Fan spread his hands and shook his head, "I don't know the specific situation, I can only analyze one or two from her state. First of all, it is by no means the first time she has come into contact with humans. Although she was frightened before, she has been trying to communicate afterwards. Li Yong Kanshu couldn't perceive her hostility. Secondly, she should have been educated, well——" He handed a roll of paper to the tool, "this is what happened when she tried to use pictures to express after she failed to communicate with words. something to draw."

This sounds simple, but in fact it is far more difficult than literacy and hyphenation - it requires the expresser to have a higher level of thinking ability. In the era when basic education has not been popularized, it surpasses more than 90% of ordinary people. .

The princess looked at it carefully, and there were waves, a tangle of seaweed, and a book drawn on the white paper.

"It seems that there is no connection." Ning Wanjun decided to give up after thinking for a while, "Have you seen the boat that brought her here?"

"No. What happened to the boat?"

"That thing...is a bit weird." The princess touched her pimpled arm, "It has no sails, no oars, God knows how it floated to Jinxia. And... looking closer, it feels like the boat is alive. "

"Live?" Xia Fan was stunned, it was normal to use a boat to cross the sea, so he never paid attention to this point at all.

"Anyway, I have sent someone to take care of the boat, and you will know when you look at it tomorrow." Ning Wanjun looked at the elf woman, "As for what she said... There are people in the Privy Council of Gyeonggi who are proficient in multiple languages, maybe you can ask about it .”

"If there is no better way, it can only be like this."

"Xia Fan, the location of the Jinxia Mechanical Engineering Bureau has been decided. The idea of ​​the assembly line you mentioned earlier is very interesting. Can you tell me about it in detail?" At this moment, Mo Yun also opened the courtyard door and walked in. "I I want to put the production of the mechanism beast on the agenda earlier. Oh? Your Highness is here too. Wait a minute, who is this woman...?"

The elf opened his mouth and spoke again.

To Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun's surprise, Mo Yun replied almost without thinking.

The other party showed joy, and immediately followed up with a few more sentences.

And Mo Yun actually connected them.

"Wait, you can speak Fanyu?" Ning Wanjun asked in surprise.

"To be precise, it should be Laitan." Mo Yun brushed his bangs behind his ears, "It can be regarded as a relatively mainstream language overseas."

"Why do you do this?" Xia Fan couldn't help being a little curious.

"Among those who study cannon casting in the Ministry of Industry, there is a craftsman who came from the West Pole and finally settled in Daqi. In order to find out how well the cannon fits with the mechanism beast, I learned from him by the way."

Can you communicate with people by the way? Xia Fan suddenly felt great pressure.

"Then what did she say just now?" Ning Wanjun asked.

"Don't you even know this?" Mo Yun said calmly, "Her name is Ai Li. Moonlight. Polo."

...

With Mo Yun's central translation, the communication situation improved immediately.

According to Ai Li, she came from a place called World Island and lived a carefree life until she was invaded by foreign enemies a few years ago. The World Islanders who did not want to become slaves and lose their freedom fled in all directions and took refuge in tree boats to other continents.

And among her clansmen, one person had visited the Western Continent, saying that it was rich and prosperous, and the industry was developed. Whether it was seeking wealth or power, there was no shortage of opportunities to reach the sky in one step. Finally, after returning to World Island, he wrote a travelogue, recording all he saw and heard. Airi happened to have read this book.

Therefore, when the tree boat approached the sea area mentioned by the clansman, she steered a small boat all the way west alone, wanting to see for herself whether the description in the book was the same as reality. As a result, he didn't expect to be watched as soon as he landed, and he was tied up and sent to prison.

"The Western Continent she mentioned should refer to us here." Mo Yun added two sentences after translating, "Although I have never heard of World Island, if what she said is correct, this land should be in The place further east than the East China Sea is almost sandwiched between us and the land of the West Pole."

Xia Fan blinked, "Can you ask me, what is the name of this girl Aili's tribe...?"

Mo Yun replied after talking for a while, "She said she didn't know. This book seemed to be going to be sold, but the sales volume was extremely poor. The clansman was disappointed and destroyed most of the books, leaving only one for sale. The younger generations read it. Although he wrote these mental journeys in the preface, but for some reason, he only erased his own name."

A sudden thought came to Xia Fan's mind.

"The country she mentioned should refer to Yong Dynasty?" Ning Wanjun said softly, "There are not many records about that era, but one thing is certain, when King Yong was in power, demons could walk on the streets. of."

"I think so too." Xia Fan finally understood why the other party expressed more grievances than indignation when he was in prison. Because of the descriptions in the book, I was full of hope and expectation for this continent. As a result, I was imprisoned in a dungeon as soon as I got off the boat, and my life was almost lost. Probably anyone would find it hard to accept.

"But what about the invasion of foreign enemies?"

"Let me ask." Mo Yun's translation speed was a bit slow at the beginning, but after getting familiar with him, he gradually managed to achieve the speed at which the other party said a sentence and she translated a sentence, "Ai Li said that the enemy came from the other side of the sea, and they coveted the tree spirit. Power, wants to annex the entire World Island. This is not the first war between the two sides. The conflict has lasted intermittently for hundreds of years, and both sides have their own victories and defeats. But this time... the enemy is particularly strong."

"Their warships are almost full of the sea, and the continuous artillery fire makes the sky seem to be raining fire. Not only that, their magic troops are much more terrifying than before, as if, as the enemy said, the gods are blessing They are average. This time, the World Island people failed to persist until the end, and the resisters suffered a crushing defeat."

"All of this is just like what my clansman said in the frontier," Airi murmured in a low voice, "we rely too much on the power of the tree spirit, thus closing our eyes from looking out. One day, this kind of Short-sightedness will pay off, and we will be abandoned by the world when outsiders tear away the protection of the dryads."
