Chapter 1391 Asking for Details, Northern Accent
After briefly greeting the four of them, Xia Duo went straight to the point, "You must have guessed that there is no advanced class, but if your answers can satisfy me, the advanced class is not a problem."
"Xia Duo, what do you want to ask?"
"President, is it because of that elf?"
"After much deliberation here, we found one thing that the four of us have in common, that is, we have just returned from Savile Town, and we have all had contact with that elf."
"..."
A few people guessed what Sha Duo wanted to ask in just a few words. Sha Duo nodded and admitted, "It's because of that elf. Tell me how you met her. Colin, let's start with you!"
"good."
Colin responded, but did not start speaking directly. Instead, he pondered for a moment, as if recalling the scene at that time, and then began to tell the story from the beginning:
"I went to Savile Town after accepting a training mission at the military camp. After completing the mission, I went to my home to check it out. There was no delay, and I immediately prepared to return to the Tower of Time.
"But when I passed the central square, I met the elf. She took the initiative to say hello to me. After all, she was an elf. I might have been a little confused at the time. I just said whatever the other person asked.
“She mainly asked two questions, one about the Saville Territory and the other about the Tower of Time, but they were all questions that were easy to find out, so I didn’t pay much attention to them at the time.
"It wasn't until I returned to the Tower of Time and was told to attend a refresher class, but no one came to contact us in this room, that I realized that there might be something wrong with my elf."
After Colin finished speaking, he had a rather regretful look on his face. Upon seeing this, Xia Duo signaled the other three people to start. One of them, a new mage named "Jace", took the lead:
"Colin and I were in a similar situation. We also met the elf in the central square. The elf claimed to be a friend of the leader of the Silverleaf Family Oripus. I believed her, but I didn't completely believe her.
“She also asked questions about the Saville Territory and the Tower of Time. Because they were information that could be easily obtained, I answered them.
"However, when the other party asked about the internal system of the Tower of Time, I did not mention the current system. Instead, I used the system before the Tower of Time to deal with it."
Having said this, Jess showed an "I'm very smart" expression, but after thinking about it, others may not be the same as him. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Before others could talk about their experiences, he asked Xia Duo a question. :
"President, who is that elf? Is there anything wrong with her?"
"She is a partner of mine. Of course there are problems, but they are still in the speculation stage, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden."
"It scared me to death. I thought I had accidentally become someone else's spy!" Jace said with fear on his face, patting his chest.
Shado was noncommittal about this. He knew that with the strength of the Toph investigator, he could obtain enough information without having any direct contact with Jace and others.
The reason why he acted so exaggeratedly was probably to remind him.
But if you should ask, you still have to keep asking. You might be able to discover some details that have been ignored by the other party!
…
Next, the other two people also told the whole story of their meeting with Toph. Like Colin and Jess, they were stopped by Toph in the central square of Savile Town.
To be more precise, it is in the northwest corner of the central square.
It is the only place to go to the former site of the Tower of Time. The current small semi-permanent portal connecting the Tower of Time to Savile Town is open next to the former site of the Tower of Time.
"By the way, Jace, you must have just come into contact with the Elvish language not long ago. How did the Elf communicate with you? Did he use psychic spells or Nese language?"
"It's Nese language! And it seems to have a strong northern accent!"
Jess seemed to have thought of something and deliberately imitated Toph's accent. Shado had been in Severton recently and was no stranger to the Severington accent.
In particular, some of the tones that were deliberately changed to fit the Elvish vocabulary were particularly obvious to the ears of Sha Duo, an Elvish expert.
At this moment, he even had a guess beyond the topic - was the accent change in Severton caused by the elves?
Coupled with the fact that some people deliberately imitated it, it quickly became popular.
That is to say, the southern side seems to be closer to the Elf Kingdom, but in fact there are fewer opportunities to contact the elves. In the past two years, the Silverleaf family moved to Savile Town, which made the elves here less rare.
That Toph not only took the initiative to talk to humans, but also spoke Nese language, which really broke Shado's usual impression of elves.
Speaking of which, Shado seems to have never heard any elf speak Nese language!
Even Oripus of the Silverleaf family spoke Elvish when communicating with him. It wasn't that Oripus couldn't speak Nese, but Shado never thought that the other party could speak it. Nese language.
This is just like when you meet a foreigner in Xia Duo's hometown, you will always communicate with him or her in a foreign language subconsciously, as if you have subconsciously determined that the other person cannot speak Chinese.
Is that "no" meant "can not" or "don''t want to"?
Is this arrogance? Or have low self-esteem?
As his thoughts flowed, Xia Duo was a little reluctant to face this problem, but at present, elves are indeed better than humans in many places, and even the elven language itself is obviously better than Nese language, so it doesn't matter what you say.
As the saying goes, "learn from the barbarians and gain skills to control the barbarians." When they become stronger in the future, it will be the elves' turn to take the initiative to speak human languages.
Now it's obvious that human beings haven't reached that level yet, so Toph's behavior seems particularly suspicious.
With this in mind, Sha Duo asked some key questions one after another, and Colin, Jess and others also answered them one by one. Finally, Sha Duo proposed that he wanted to recreate the scene at that time.
"Xia Duo, what are you going to do? How do you need our cooperation?"
"It's very simple. You just need to keep recalling the scene when you were in contact with that elf while I was casting the spell."
Xia Duo said it was simple, but in fact it was not easy. Mental spells were easily interfered by subjective will, especially those who knew something about mental spells. They were better able to mislead in a targeted manner.
Of course, he could also go to the central square of Savile Town to look back on the past history of that area, but Toph was a powerful mage after all, so he might end up looking back lonely.
Another thing is that you may meet Toph in the central square.
Even if you don't encounter them, the other party may still pay attention to this place. Otherwise, how could the members of the Tower of Time pass by and be found.
One can be considered a coincidence, but if everyone is like that, then it is no longer a coincidence.
In any case, taking a look at the memories of Colin and others first can serve as a reference.
