"Huh... Chinese? Tibetan?" After exhaling, Richard began to test the Sino-Tibetan language system, and then found that when he pronounced the word "Chinese" in Mandarin with a clear accent, Pandora blinked and wrinkled. Frowning, some mood swings.
Richard immediately said more Chinese vocabulary tests, but Pandora returned to her original appearance. It was as if the previous reaction was not because he understood Chinese, but because he was curious...how long can Richard continue to speak.
In response, Richard pursed his lips and tested the Semitic language again: "Arabic?"
Testing the Austro-Thai language family: "Javanese?"
Testing the Niger-Congo language family: “Lolof…”
test…
…
Finally, Richard tested all the languages he had mastered, and found that Pandora continued to maintain the original movements without moving, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Now there are pretty much only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that the language mastered by the girl Pandora is a lost or unknown language. For example, 'Indo-European - Romance - Eastern Branch - Dalmatian' has died out, and another example is the legendary dragon It is not a language known to mankind.
In this case, communication will naturally be impossible.
The second possibility is that the girl Pandora has no ability to master language at all. Generally speaking, she is a deaf-mute girl. Because you can't hear the sound or can't speak, the sound language has no meaning to the other party. In this case, compared to the previous possibility, there is still one last possibility of communication - sign language.
Richard looked at Pandora, stretched out his right hand and pointed a finger at her, then retracted it and made it into a fist, leaving only one thumb outside.
This is the simplest and most versatile expression in sign language: "Hello!"
In fact, even people who don't understand sign language can understand this meaning, but... Pandora obviously couldn't. She stood there, tilted her head slightly, and continued to look with cold and strange eyes.
"Well..." After thinking about this, Richard began to change his gestures.
Sign language is a language that uses gestures to compare movements, and simulates images or syllables based on changes in gestures to form a certain meaning or word. In fact, sign language also has different classifications, which means that even among deaf-mute people, there may be language barriers to communication. Fortunately, Richard also knows several different sign language expressions.
But after testing it, I found that Pandora still didn't respond.
"Okay... It seems there is really no way to communicate." Richard gave up trying, shook his head, and grabbed the rabbit that he was grilling.
Pandora was watching from the side. After a while, maybe she was tired. She sat on the stone next to her and continued to watch with her chin supported by her two white arms.
Watching Richard roast the hare, watching Richard eat it, watching Richard clean it up...
…
late at night.
Pandora stood up, glanced at Richard, and walked into the castle without saying a word.
Richard watched Pandora enter, turned his head and glanced at the dragon cave next to him, then looked at the open space on the top of the mountain, and began to think about a question: Where will he live at night
I am not a person who pays much attention to enjoyment or luxury. As a prince, I ordered maids, craftsmen, and soldiers to do things. That was the privilege and some regulations brought by status. The current world is, after all, a medieval feudal world. If, as a prince, you greet a group of maids, craftsmen, and soldiers, you will be afraid that the other party will not be moved, but more afraid.
It is necessary to have a certain identity and do what kind of things.
But after giving up his identity, he knew exactly what kind of person he was. All necessities of life, if necessary, can be reduced to the lowest level that can barely sustain life, as long as it does not affect the realization of one's goals.
But then again, if you have a choice, of course you should choose the one that is most beneficial.
The three options now are: lie on the ground and rest on the dirt while enjoying the mountain breeze; enter the Dragon Cave and lie down on the rocks with Gregory to rest; or enter the black castle and find a suitable room to rest. .
So which one to choose
Without thinking, Richard picked up the heavy suitcase he was carrying and walked into the black castle.
Inside the black castle, it is quiet. After entering, the first thing you see is a vast hall. A huge crystal chandelier hangs above the hall, numerous oil paintings hang on the walls, and there are several stone statues in the corners.
There are corridors connecting both sides and the back of the hall. There are rooms of different sizes and uses in the corridors, such as dining rooms, bedrooms, storage rooms, kitchens, etc.
In the corner of the hall, there is also a spiral wooden staircase leading to the second floor.
Richard carried his suitcase, thought for a moment, turned left and walked into the corridor, randomly selected a room and walked in. Using wind magic to drive the air flow, I briefly cleaned the dust, swept it clean, and then put the suitcase down.
There was no bedding on the bed in the corner, just wooden boards. Richard didn't pay attention, sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
So far, after using anesthesia, electric current and magnetic field for a long time to assist, Richard has been able to meditate, develop magic sources and smelt magic power without assistance.
This is similar to how you need to use training wheels when you first learn to ride a bicycle. Once you learn how to ride a bicycle, you can remove them.
Richard has considered that if his method is popularized, many ordinary people can have the opportunity to become wizards. If controlled properly, it can even create an army of wizards to take over the entire world. Of course, it's just an idea.
The most important thing is to understand what is going on in the current world.
In order to understand the world, what we need to do now is to improve our strength through meditation.
With this thought, Richard sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and calmed down.
…
"So quiet?" At the entrance of the Dragon Cave, Gregory, who transformed into a strong man with a sallow face, poked his head out, looked at the black castle for a long time, listened for a while, showed a puzzled expression, and said to himself, "Well ? Is there no movement? That boy was not thrown out by Pandora? This... is unreasonable... "
After a while, Gregory looked back and returned to the Dragon Cave, without concealing the expression on his face, "In this case, I am really disappointed. I thought I could teach that kid a lesson, and let him keep annoying me." …”
…
In a small room on the second floor of the black castle.
Pandora, who was dressed in purple, hugged her legs with her hands and huddled in the corner. Her big eyes were flashing in the darkness, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly sensing something, he suddenly turned his head to look somewhere below, his gaze suddenly becoming a little dangerous.
