Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 59: Coleman clan

Views:

The library on the second floor of the Central Library is full of mystery.

The paid area on the second floor, which does not look as spacious as the first floor, has countless magic restrictions. Volumes of ancient scrolls are wrapped in a layer of water mist-like light blue magic barrier protection.

Renn led the barbarian girl to Area C, where there was a space the size of an indoor basketball court, with a floor height of more than 20 meters. People did not feel at all depressed by the surrounding "book mountains", but instead felt This kind of exposure to the vast ocean of knowledge gives people a sudden desire to find the truth in the ocean of knowledge.

This design is very clever.

... .

Recently, the library has received a lot of new barbarian documents. A bearded old man who looks like Marx is counting the records there. He seems to be a library registrar.

The industry of the barbarians was very backward. Papermaking was not invented, and all documents were recorded on specially treated animal skins. There were several thick piles, which seemed to contain at least thousands of pieces.

The barbarian girl couldn't help but look a little excited when she saw these "trophies". Being able to snatch all the documents from the tribe here means that countless tribes have been plundered and countless tribesmen have died under the clutches of those damn "invaders".

Ren glanced at her coldly, the meaning was clear: If you dare to cause trouble, get out immediately!

She also seemed to understand Ren's stern gaze, suppressing the grief and anger in her heart, her body trembled slightly with her fists, but in the end she didn't say a word.

... .

Ren asked politely: "Mr. Administrator, I would like to borrow these animal skins. Which ones have you counted?"

The bearded administrator did not raise his head and said calmly: "Few people are interested in barbarian writings, especially young people..."

Lane responded: "I am a lover of writing studies, and I was very interested when I heard that barbarians had a complete language and writing system."

"Oh... It's quite rare. The road of [Eruditionist] is not easy to walk."

The bearded old man murmured, without asking any more questions, pointing to the nearly one meter thick animal skin on the shelf beside him, and said: "These are the documents I have counted that are not duplicated and are relatively complete. If you need to borrow them, just take them Right. Remember to be careful, the magic protective coating hasn’t been applied to the hide yet... "

"Okay, thank you for your advice."

Ren was not polite and directly picked up the pile of animal skins and led the oil bottle to the borrowing room not far away.

There is a single reading room with excellent privacy in the paid area, which is equipped with soundproofing and magic restrictions to prevent prying eyes.

The barbarian girl was dragged to the library in a daze. Until now, she didn't understand why Ren brought her here.

Seeing him borrowing such a large pile of tribal documents, she also guessed that this human witch doctor wanted to learn their language and writing.

But is learning a language so simple

She has been learning the "Old Priest Language" from the high priest's grandfather since she was a child. It is only now that she is thirteen years old that she has truly mastered that language.

No reference, no guidance, just relying on some words, how is it possible

Looking at the suspicious eyes of this barbarian girl, Renn didn't intend to explain to her.

How can a primitive man who doesn't even know what a steam engine is, understand the existence of technology at the level of "intelligent brain".

He glanced at the text on the animal skin, and the system automatically sent a notification sound.

[Ding! It was found that no text was recorded, and the system automatically recognized and included it...]

Ren looked at the barbarian girl again, pointed at the words on the animal skins, and then pointed at his mouth and said, "Read it word by word."

The simple physical description allowed the smart barbarian to immediately understand what he meant.

Does this "human witch doctor" really want to learn a language

Although her eyes were full of doubts, she followed suit.

She looked at the writing on the animal skin and read every sentence.

"*%ф%¥ё¥..."

As a future priest among his ancestors, Udo actually knew most of the words on these animal skins by heart.

Most of these classics are documents that record major events in the tribe, and some are herbal classics with hand-drawn pictures, including the habits of jungle monsters, identification of poisons... They are all common leather scrolls in the tribe.

She even saw a certain animal skin that she had copied by herself.

These are documents distributed by the chief of the Coleman tribe to the small tribes on the edge of the forest, which means that those small tribes have been brutally murdered by the "invaders".

As she read, tears filled her eyes.

... .

[Ding! The system automatically recognizes unrecorded languages, text matching...]

Renn ignored the fussy mood and helped her turn the pages of the animal hide indifferently.

After she read one, he turned to the next.

The barbarian girl speaks very fast, but this does not affect the work of the "intelligent brain".

As long as her pronunciation is accurate, the system can easily identify and record it.

Nouns, verbs, adjectives, numerals, quantifiers, pronouns, and special content words, onomatopoeia, and modal particles.

"Intelligence Brain" has its precise and scientific language translation function, which analyzes the words and sounds that Ren "hears" and "sees" one by one.

Even with such efficiency, it took nearly five hours to read the one-meter-thick animal skin document.

The system identified more than 3,000 commonly used words, and coupled with some comparisons of pictures and context analysis, "Zhi Nao" successfully parsed most of this barbarian language!

... .

Ren saw that the translation level of "Zhi Nao" reached 87%. Although there were still some rare words that he didn't understand, it was enough for normal communication.

He tried setting up the translation program, and then the pronunciation of a sentence appeared in his mind.

Ren read it out and asked the barbarian girl: "What is your name?"

This sentence is not in common language, but in genuine barbarian language!

"you... !"

After hearing this, I had been reading for five hours, and my mouth was dry. I was stunned as if I had been struck by lightning.

After a moment, her black eyes were full of shock and she asked: "You... have you learned the language of our Coleman tribe?"

Zhi Nao has simultaneous translation, which is no longer jittery gibberish.

Ren was not used to the tongue-licking pronunciation of barbarian language, so he stammered: "You... answer me."

After hearing the second complete sentence, Tuoyoupin finally believed that the human being in front of him had learned their language.

She replied weakly: "My name is...'Uduo'."

But...how could someone learn to master a language in such a short period of time? !

Oh my god, this is incredible.

She knew very well that this "human witch doctor" didn't know any Coleman language before. Just speaking a few words made people think that his language learning talent was amazing.

But now, what do you see

Just by letting himself read documents for five hours, he learned the language of his own clan? !

Ren ignored her shocked look.

When faced with this kind of situation, I am afraid that anyone else would probably have this ghost expression.

He went straight to the point and said: "Now tell me... you wrote on the wall before... what is the second row of text..."

"Are you talking about 'the language of sacrifice?'"

When Wu Duo heard this question, she instantly understood that this was probably the reason why the man in front of her changed his mind and did not let her die on her own.

However, a sense of expectation also arose in her heart.

Since he has needs, there is room for negotiation!

"Sacrificial words?"

Renn didn't quite understand the meaning of the word Udo said, but he thought it should be another way of describing "Munkel Ancient Language" from their tribe.

He directly took out a not-so-important ancient text fragment collected by Baron Morin and said, "I need... you... to interpret this kind of text."

Now, communication is no problem at all.

When Wu Duo heard this, it confirmed her guess.

If there is value, there is room for negotiation.

But this smart barbarian girl was not willing to be a "tool man", but said: "I can help you interpret it, but you have to help me."
