Chapter 4 4 Learning a Foreign Language Is Important
Chapter 4 4. Learning a foreign language is important
Lu Yu was not vague and immediately explained to Lulutis the current situation of the two.
The problem they urgently need to solve is communication.
After all, if they want to unlock Lulutis's seal, they must go to the inhabited area and collect the corresponding materials.
Lu Yu does not speak the language, and Lulutis's ability to speak is sealed, which is equivalent to both of them being dumb.
Lulutis is in a dead loop.
If you want to unlock the seal, you need to speak.
If you want to speak, you need to unlock the seal.
Now the only one who can break this dead loop is Lu Yu.
"I need the language and text materials of this world, as well as some basic knowledge."
These two things are indispensable.
Lu Yu is ready to learn a foreign language, and he doesn't know if a winter can allow him to reach the level of barrier-free listening and reading.
Lulutis rolled up the half-bottle of slime juice with her tentacles and shook it in front of Lu Yu.
"If the mental magic is stable and smooth enough, I can probably speed up your information acquisition."
"But I need materials, and this kind of material that can provide a large amount of magic elements must be sufficient."
Lu Yu looked at the slime that he had cut into pieces and hung on the wall, and sighed helplessly.
"But where can we find so many slimes?"
Lu Lutis's tentacles swayed gently, and her tone was full of curiosity and excitement.
"What do you call a...lighter?"
"Lighter?" Lu Yu said, taking out a lighter from his backpack.
"Yes, that's it, can I see it?"
"Please."
When Lu Yu lit the bonfire today, he felt that Lu Lutis was not right, flying up and down around him, circling around him.
At that time, he thought she was interested in the process of cooking slime, but now it seems that she is really interested in the lighter.
What is there to be excited about this thing?
I saw Lu Lutis's tentacles wrapped around the lighter, and the black mist gushed out, drowning the lighter.
"If you don't want to help me make fire every day, you'd better not eat the lighter." Lu Yu quickly stood up to stop him.
Lu Yu doesn't smoke, and the reason he has a lighter is that his dormitory head patted it into his hand.
"Perch, maybe you will smoke in the future?" The dormitory head patted Lu Yu's shoulder and called his nickname affectionately.
Forget it, the whole dormitory is full of smokers, and the dormitory students are basically surrounded by clouds and mist, as if they are in a "fairyland".
After enjoying this environment, he will never want to smoke in his life.
He wanted to say this, but looking at the empty dormitory, he still quietly put away the lighter.
Unexpectedly, this lighter was finally used in a place that Lu Yu could not imagine.
"Strange... Why does your magic tool have no magic breath at all?"
The black mist faded away, and Lulutis held the small lighter with two tentacles, puzzled.
Here it comes again…
“How can there be a magical aura? This thing is just an ordinary lighter. What do you think it is?”
“But I saw you lightly… Hey, where is the mechanism? Why can’t I find it?”
Lu Yu, who couldn’t bear to watch, stepped forward, snatched the lighter, pushed open the lid of the lighter, and pressed it.
Seeing the flames jump out, Lulutis was stunned.
“Do you understand? I repeat, this is not magic, this is…”
Lu Yu was about to blurt out science, but he held back.
The topic of magic and science almost made him collapse last time. It would be a wise choice not to talk about it if he could.
Lulutis didn’t need to know too much about science.
Lulutis liked lighters very much, although she couldn’t understand how this strange-looking thing could generate flames.
If it wasn’t a magic tool, could it be that there was phosphorus powder of a salamander or a match that could burn for a long time hidden inside?
"Let's get to the point. You asked me for a lighter, but you didn't do it just for fun, did you?"
Lulutis returned the lighter to Lu Yu and said, "I just want to tell you through this thing that I mistakenly thought was a magic tool that some magic tools carried by magicians have some cores that drive magic."
"Some of these cores will retain sufficient magic elements, which can be used with a little guidance."
Lu Yu covered his forehead: "Miss Lulutis, we can't even speak human language, and you still expect us to find a magician to communicate?"
"I don't plan to contact magicians." Lulutis corrected, "Also, I'm not a lady."
Lulutis said, "You said you once witnessed cavalrymen carrying slaves through, which is enough to prove that although this area is remote, it is not uninhabited."
"Such a place must also be active with a large number of adventurers. They are adventuring in this area. I don't think everyone can return safely."
Lu Yu was stunned. He understood what Lulutis wanted to find, and at the same time he remembered something.
"I did see a group of people in strange costumes fighting each other before. That scene was like light pollution..."
Lulutis was excited. Her tentacles quickly wrapped around Lu Yu and she was about to go out.
If Lu Yu hadn't reminded her that it was already dark and it was easy to get lost and be spotted by strange things when going out, Lulutis might have rushed out.
The next morning, Lu Yu took Lulutis to the area where the magicians fought.
Because more than half a month had passed, there were naturally no bodies, but some objects abandoned after the battle could still be found.
Lu Yu took the knight's sword pulled from a big tree and followed Lulutis carefully, helping her to clean the snow around.
Lulutis wrapped a tentacle around Lu Yu's waist, fearing that a monster would suddenly attack nearby.
Now the fate of the two was tied together, and Lu Yu could not get into trouble no matter what.
Lulutis did not dare to bet that she could meet someone who was outside the rules of the seal.
Suddenly, Lulutis's tentacles and Lu Yu's feet touched something hard at the same time.
Lulutis was about to use the tentacles to remove the snow, and glanced at Lu Yu, and found that he was also using the knight's sword as a shovel to shovel the snow, and he was four or five steps away from him...
After hesitating for a while, Lulutis used her tentacles to lift Lu Yu into the air and pulled him to her side.
Lu Yu experienced a lift for no reason, and the whole person was a little confused.
"I found something, why did you pull me here?"
"Your fighting power is too low, I'm afraid something will happen to you."
As Lulutis said, his tentacles did not stop. After clearing the snow, a slender stick that looked like it was made of bamboo and was green came into view.
"Put it in your backpack."
After taking it, Lu Yu looked at it for a while and was sure that this was the staff used by magicians in this world.
I don't know if you must have the corresponding magic props to cast spells.
If so, will there be interference magic that specifically removes weapons?
Back to the place where Lu Yu stepped on something just now, Lulutis rolled up his tentacles, and a book with a metallic luster on the cover appeared in front of him.
"You're lucky, this can also be used."
As he said, he threw the book to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu opened the book and saw the text of this world for the first time.
This is a very obscure hieroglyphic script. Some of the text has a bit of cuneiform flavor, but it is mixed with some crooked "tadpoles", like a relative of oracle bone script.
After opening the book, Lu Yu once again became illiterate.
After searching for a long time, when he was about to leave, Lulutis found a heavy cloth bag full of brass coins, which was an unexpected surprise.
The two did not stay for long and quickly returned to the tree hole along the way they came.
The reason why they were so anxious was that they both saw the bones without any blood or flesh under the snow.
These bones were very scattered, and some were broken into two pieces, but they were all very clean.
They were so clean that they looked like they had been licked by something.
According to the time when the fight was witnessed, Lu Yu did not think that this was the effect that natural decay could achieve.
Lu Yu stopped several times along the way and asked Lulutis to repeatedly confirm that there was nothing following him quietly, and then he returned to the tree hole with peace of mind.
Lulutis entered the tree hole with a large bag of spoils and began to count them.
Lu Yu took out some branches from the tree hole, broke them, placed them in various directions of the big tree hole, and finally picked up the snow to cover these branches.
Some monsters hibernate with stored food, while others lack food and have to start hunting in the severe cold.
Although Lulutis's body is very reliable, it is definitely not wrong to be cautious.
Especially now that both of them see the possibility of getting out of trouble.
After finishing all this, when Lu Yu returned to the tree hole, he suddenly found that the entire tree hole was extremely bright, with colorful lights shining against each other.
If he hadn't seen Lulutis's black mist body floating not far away, Lu Yu would have thought that he had traveled through time again, and that he had traveled to a disco.
The various magic tools that were brought back before were broken all over the floor.
Realizing that Lu Yu had returned, Lulutis put down the things tied to the tentacles and put them in the grooves that Lu Yu had dug on the wall of the tree hole.
After leaving Lulutis, the light of those strange objects of different shapes dimmed, no longer as brilliant as before.
"It should be able to last for a while. I hope you have a strong ability to learn."
"You don't have to worry about my ability to learn. Besides studying hard with you, what else can I do now?"
"With no distractions, I believe my learning efficiency will be very high."
Lu Yu said, checking the last loot in his backpack, the bag of copper coins.
The copper coins were shaken to the ground, and a folded piece of cloth came into view.
When he picked it up, it was densely written with words, but Lu Yu couldn't understand a word.
Lu Lutis took it and stared at it for a while, then sighed.
"It's a suicide note. Most people who go out on adventures always carry a copy with them. If they are buried in the wilderness, they can hope that the person who picked up the relic will do something for them."
