Facts have proved that when a guy who looks abnormal in every aspect is confident enough to tell you that everything is on her, then basically you can’t count on anything—Hao Ren realized this truth a little later, so It wasn't until Vivienne asked the locals about the Tao in the original Mongolian-Saxon accent "English" that he was completely stunned on the spot, deeply doubting whether his preparations for departure this time were too hasty point. A small landlady who is dizzy, a bastard werewolf who has almost fallen asleep but is still trying to walk upright, and a vampire who usually looks reliable but is not good at critical moments. These three people came to a foreign country full of confidence. After going abroad, they encountered an unprecedented crisis: they didn't know the way, they didn't understand the language, and because they didn't make relevant preparations when they set off, they didn't even check online where to find someone to ask for directions when they didn't understand the language. Of course, there are also reasons for experience. Hao Ren is a little dizzy. He hasn't even thought of asking the staff at the airport for emergency help. In theory, the staff here can at least tell you where the nearest embassy should be How to get there, but this unscrupulous guy didn't remember it. Vivian talked for a long time with a local old man passing by in a strange tone. Hao Ren listened to the ancient English that had been lost for a few years and was in a daze beside him. He was so stunned, the poor old man was so old that he was asked "what" repeatedly by his mother tongue...

"Don't try too hard," Hao Ren gave Vivian a hand, "You used English around 1100 A.D., you know how different the accents of the ancients a thousand years ago are from the modern people? What? Go home and look up the pronunciation of ancient Chinese on the Internet, and you will understand."

Vivienne looked frustrated: "Why has it changed so much? I also said that only the surrounding environment is different. At least people's speech should not change. At most, what I say is equivalent to classical Chinese to them... How can I even pronounce it?" Have everything changed?"

Hao Ren let out a long sigh: "When you were just born, human beings basically relied on howls of different lengths and beating their chests and feet. No matter how confused you are, you don't even think about this, right?"

"I'm not that old, okay?" Vivian stared, "What you're talking about is the age of primitive people!"

At this time, the British old man who was confused by Vivienne saw that the two young men and women seemed to be arguing, so he hurried up to dissuade him. The old man grabbed Hao Ren's arm and kept asking, "Chinese? Areyouchinese?" Hao Ren Blinking, fortunately, his little knowledge of English has not been completely passed on to his teacher, so he nodded vigorously.

The very patient old gentleman smiled, and pointed to an open space next to the terminal building: there were airport staff in uniform standing there: this time, no matter how dull Hao Ren and Vivienne are, they should be enlightened.

Hao Ren and Vivienne looked at each other in embarrassment, thanked the old gentleman repeatedly, and then dragged Lily, who was already sleeping upright, to the terminal staff. , Vivian stepped forward and asked, "%¥@@%¥#¥#%¥@?"

Hao Ren pushed aside the vampire who lost his chain at this critical moment, and looked at the boy at the airport with a puzzled look, "Excuse me, what's wrong with this place..." Halfway through the sentence, he suddenly realized that he might not be able to say that. So I slowed down my tone and switched to more standard Mandarin: "Hello, I don't speak English, I want to go somewhere, who should I contact?"…

The young man at the airport frowned and listened slowly, trying his best to spell out the phonetic symbols in his head for a long time, then showed a professional smile, pointed to the parking lot not far away, and said in very broken Chinese: "There, how many taxi drivers are there?" Chinese, go... go... let him help you."

Apparently, the guy at the airport couldn't hold back the next words.

This is already quite satisfying. Hao Ren thanked the airport guy very happily. When he turned his head and walked towards the parking lot, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart: I never thought that I could face Arthur Pendragon The vampire, who has the upper hand in cursing, is useless at all. The latter's greatest achievement in "English" is to stun a foreign friend. In the end, he turned out to ask him the way in Chinese...

Life is indeed more exciting than novels, because life does not talk about rationality at all!

"We won't sleep until we get to the hotel, hold on for a while longer." Hao Ren turned his head and patted Lily on the shoulder, but only a series of slight snores came in response to him. This rough-natured werewolf girl will not disturb her biological clock anywhere. It is early morning in London, and it is also when Lily is taking a nap at home. She is too sleepy to keep her eyes open. She followed behind Hao Ren while snoring with her eyes closed, but fortunately, her keen senses as a wild animal were not lost: Lily followed behind Hao Ren and Vivian, walking with her eyes closed and her nose slightly raised, relying on smelling to keep her breath. I followed, but I didn't lose...

Hao Ren quickly found the "Chinese taxi driver" that the guy at the airport called, and his skin color matched him, but he found several locals who were born and bred in succession: British Chinese, whose Chinese level is lower than The guy at the airport is a little better, looking at the address that Hao Ren copied down in Chinese characters is like reading a bible...

After struggling for a long time, he finally found someone who could barely pass the Chinese level. Hao Ren felt that he was exhausted, and all the inconveniences of traveling abroad came to his mind. The freshness of traveling abroad with public funds slowly dissipated, and he realized that this is really a task, a task that is physically and mentally exhausting - Raven 12345 said it is to train new employees' ability to handle affairs, which is really true !

It is estimated that Raven 12345 had calculated from the beginning that Hao Ren would get carried away immediately after receiving a large sum of money and the opportunity to travel with public funds, and then went out without planning anything.

Of course, there is another possibility: Raven 12345 knew from the very beginning that there were two people around Hao Ren who were not successful enough but failed badly, and this was to take this opportunity to let him get used to it in advance...

Although there were a lot of things that were not prepared when he left, at least Hao Ren knew that he had booked a hotel online in advance, and because he had a lot of money, the hotel he booked was quite high-end, at least the hotel service was explained on the official homepage The staff is proficient in several foreign languages, and can provide high-quality services for Chinese tourists. Now Hao Ren doesn’t dare to expect high quality. Crow 12345, see if I can find some quest help.

After being driven by a Chinese driver who could barely speak the language for about an hour, Hao Ren and his party finally entered the center of London and arrived at the entrance of the hotel they had booked before. After paying enough for the car, Vivian looked up. Looking at the completely bright sky, he sighed slightly: "Many years have passed. When I first came here, there were not so many houses here."

"Why don't you tell me that when you first set foot in Europe, humans still lived in trees?" Hao Ren supported Lily who was staggering, and complained angrily about the good-for-nothing vampire, "Why don't you live so old?" Think carefully about the gap between your lifespan and that of humans, half of the reason why you encountered such a big difficulty today is because I have too high hopes for you."

Vivienne frowned, her expression was very serious: "I have a good temper, but I also have the dignity of being a high-ranking vampire. If you continue to be so cynical, it is against the nobles..."

"Pay next month's rent."

"Of course, the mouth grows on you. As a nobleman, I won't care too much about you."

Hao Ren: "..."

For the first time in his life, he saw a nobleman who could be forced to this level by a month's rent!

"According to the plan, let's rest here for a day or two to clear up the jet lag. By the way, we will sort out the information. I will submit a report to Raven 12345, and then we will leave the next day or the third day." Hao Ren sighed, "Raven The address given by 12345 is too biased, based on our experience this morning, it may be difficult to find out from the locals."

The three of them walked towards the hotel gate, but on the sixth floor of the hotel they hadn't noticed, the curtain on a window was suddenly pulled open, a sharp gaze glanced down for a few seconds, and the curtain returned to its original position .
