Chapter 23 Learning a foreign language well is very important
The settlement was on top of a cliff just offshore.There are tangles of stones, crevices and plants on the cliffs, which are convenient for birds to build nests.And if you are a little lazy, you can simply dig out a depression on the sandy soil formed by the weathering of rocks all year round, and then spread small stones or dry grass branches, which is a good nest.
"So many, so many, so many birds!" Claudio couldn't help sighing when he saw it from a distance.Apart from this sentence, he didn't know what to say.Because as far as the eye can see, there are dark scenes everywhere and noisy noises that seem muffled by the distance—a group of cormorants are preparing to take off, gliding down from the edge of the cliff wave after wave. "There must be hundreds of thousands of them?"
Mist nodded sympathetically.Although albatrosses have large enough wings and the ability to travel around the world, very few actually do so.Because there aren't enough of them overall, and it's not easy raising offspring.For him, since the first two days, he has already entered a place he has never been to, so everything he sees is a bit novel.
"Ruby Skua, above the cliff on the left; Black-browed Albatross, at the top of the longer headland on the right." Royall reported the data blankly.
His intention of chasing birds was so obvious that both Claudio and Mister could hear it.Although in view of the geographical issue, they must first find distant relatives to talk about the past, but there is no need to be so desperate, right?It seems that they are afraid that they will stay for a second longer!
Although there were various complaints in their hearts, the curiosity of the two birds about the new place overwhelmed everything. After making an appointment, they quickly went to the left and right—no way, the distance between this place and the South Pole can already be used by three to one quarter. Measured by the planet; so the distant relative is not an exaggeration, but really far away; it is estimated that everything else is a problem except for the appearance.
Watching them leave, Royall stood there for a moment.I didn't see what he did, anyway, he said to Felix a few minutes later: "Open the storage system, I've collected everything."
Felix rolled his eyes helplessly.This is also one of the problems. Ever since he knew that he was the amendment of the doomsday plan, this man couldn't wait to take everything on himself, and it turned out that he, the righteous master, seemed to be a dry food. "I say you……"
Before he could finish a sentence, Royall interrupted: "This is what I should do."
Felix continued to roll his eyes, but in his heart.While receiving the data, he continued to persuade him: "Why bother? Since your body has recovered, wouldn't it be better to go back to the Eye of God earlier? You also know that this is the kind of place with the highest safety rating. It’s not really necessary to do something together alone.”
Royall glanced at him coldly. "While I appreciate you, I stand by my opinion on this matter."
How long did he search near the Eye of God?I was stupefied that I didn't find any clues.They didn't know about the last thing Gu Tianhai did, which means there must be something inside, it's not just a simple, general interstellar travel.
And now he saw the last sliver of hope, like the first ray of light before the dawn.Ask him to give up?So what is the effort he made before?What is his persistence all this time?
Felix knew from his tone that he couldn't be persuaded.This guy, why is he so stubborn!While muttering, he adjusted the maker information again.The things recorded on it are very limited, even less than what Royall knows. There is only an ancient Chinese character glowing dark blue and cold, which proves that he is indeed from this person.
He stared at the word for a while, then withdrew, and saw the database that was only a little unlocked.In order not to be stalked, he didn't tell anyone about this problem—even the information he has the authority to call out has been identified as too much by Royall, and there is still a locked part, so he can still expect the other party to be obedient gone back already?The worst is like now, let Royall follow the plan and give up after the end of the plan...
But can you really give up at that time?Felix thought uncertainly.But whatever happens to Royall, his mission is to be done.
Thinking of this, he called out the mission again.Four of the twelve locations under Objective [-] have turned into colors, indicating that they have been completed; the remaining eight are blank, which are their future destinations.Because of Royall's intervention, the latter two finished in less than half the time of the first two.
Well, it's not a bad thing to finish it sooner, Felix thought.Then he suddenly noticed that there was an unexpected change in Mission [-], which was originally blank - the small silver lock logo on it was faintly glowing.
Felix was stunned.If he had seen Mission [-] at the beginning, he would have forgotten about it long ago.But now, why does it look like it's about to be unlocked?Or is it Royall's fault?
Before he could cast a skeptical look, there were voices mixed with the sound of flapping wings from far to near.
"...that's unimaginable! Why don't they understand?"
"Sure enough, I haven't traveled far for a long time."
"Isn't that the point now? If we're talking like chickens and ducks, then we're really in a hurry!"
"But do you have a solution?"
"..."
As soon as Felix raised his eyes, he saw that Claudio and Mister, who had just left, had turned back, and their expressions could not be described with joy. "What's the matter with you?"
Royall has been by his side, and heard the words very calmly explained: "It seems to have encountered a language barrier."
What's with that "I knew it" feeling all the time?Claudio couldn't help glaring at him. "Our distant relatives seem to be a little too far away," he said angrily, and a little dejected, "I can only understand the simplest few words, but I don't understand the whole thing at all!"
"Besides, there doesn't seem to be the kind of petrel that migrates around the world." Mister's reaction was much calmer than his, although he was obviously regretful, "There is no messenger to act as an interpreter for us."
To be honest, it is useless even if there is, because the Haiyan messengers to Antarctica are all sent by Xue Haiyan to convey the news, and two layers of translation are indispensable.He is also considered a master of languages, but not to the extent that he is proficient in the types of languages from all over the world.And he's not bad, Claudio seems to have been unanimously identified by the local skuas and vultures as coming to snatch food, and they drove him out without hesitation.
This Claudio was also aware of it, and couldn't help feeling quite resentful. "It's unbearable!" he complained. "It's rare that I'm in a good mood...I just want to ask what is the local specialty here!"
As soon as the words came out, Mist covered his face with his wings, Royall's expression twitched, and Felix almost laughed.But in order to take care of Claudio's injured glass heart, he managed to control it. "Don't be angry, I'll go and ask for you."
"... Scared?" Claudio was about to give up, and almost jumped up when he heard this sentence. "Do you understand?"
"I don't understand now," Felix replied. "But I can learn it right away." It's not a difficult password, such as language, collecting data and analyzing the rules, you can learn it quickly.
Claudio stared.Damn it's unscientific!Why do the indigenous old fritters need aliens to act as translators for them?
