After hearing the time signal from the timing computer, Leo couldn't help but froze, because if the timing computer had not been adjusted and subtracted the time when the spacecraft disappeared from this time, then the remaining 430,000 years would be very short.

It may be the time since the spacecraft landed in the Black Forest until now.

There is a big gap between this time and the time of the Earth Federation in Leo's memory. The gap is as much as three hundred thousand years.

You must know that the Earth Federation era where Leo is located is only more than 100,000 years away from the Doomsday War of the old Earth. This is obviously inconsistent with the count of more than 300,000 years. This situation will occur either because of the time here in the Black Forest.

The flow rate is different from that of the universe where the Earth Federation is located, or more than 300,000 years have passed since he died and woke up from his current body.

As for what kind of situation caused this time misalignment, Leo was not clear for a while. He just thought that maybe the time gap was longer than the 300,000 years he now understood. The current timing of the Prometheus

Computers are just the tip of the iceberg.

"What was that voice saying just now?" Sylvia felt that Leo looked a little strange after hearing the time signal, so she asked.

"I was just telling the time." Leo explained, and then repeated the time numbers in French.

"More than four hundred thousand years?" Sylvia couldn't help but look shocked when she heard this number. You must know that the historical records of the Velen world, leaving aside the mythical history promoted by various churches, only record thousands of years.

More than four hundred thousand years is already a very huge number in Sylvia's eyes.

"Can you understand Gulanxi?" Suddenly, a voice intervened in the conversation between the two.

The two turned to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw that the other person was a humanoid. His body was much taller than ordinary people, with four arms. The facial features on his face were similar to those of humans, except that his eyes were not horizontally long.

, but long and vertical.

Lanxi is different from other places in the Black Forest. In other places, the beauty of the clan-like mutation produced by stimulating power is that the more dehumanized the mutation, the more respected it is by ordinary people, but in Lanxi, it is completely in the form of a normal human being.

Beautiful, but the status of the dependents from different spiritual beliefs in Lanxi is not very high.

However, the humanoid speaking now is obviously an exception, because this humanoid is wearing a high-level bachelor's uniform and a string of metal plates that are bachelor's certificates around its neck.

Both Leo and Sylvia had learned something about the status classes and political system in Lanxi City from the pamphlets they received when entering the city. Lanxi City is mainly divided into two ruling classes, one is the bachelor, the other is the sergeant, and the other is in charge.

Politics, one is in charge of the military.

There are a total of thirty levels of bachelors, and each level requires a bachelor with corresponding qualifications. This qualification is a metal plate called a certificate. Only bachelors who have passed the completion examination of the corresponding certificate subject can have it.

He is qualified to obtain a academic certificate, and the more academic certificates he has, the higher his status in Lanxi will be.

The academic certificate hanging around the neck of this humanoid is about 20 yuan. Such a number means that this humanoid has a very high status in Lanxi, almost as much as a consul in a city. The only restriction is that he becomes Lanxi

The factor that makes him a consul is that he is not a native of Lanxi.

After sizing up this humanoid, Sylvia concealed her curious gaze very well, and then asked the other party in somewhat poor Lanxi local language: "Do you understand what we just said?"

Leo and Sylvia were talking in modern French just now. Logically speaking, no one should be able to understand Lan Xi.

"Of course I can understand it. The language you use is somewhat similar to the language of Qiao Sen's Moya Town, but the accent is slightly different," the humanoid replied naturally: "I used to live in Moya Town.

I have spent time and learned the local language. As long as it is not too complicated, I can basically understand it." After that, he asked again: "Do you understand Gulanxi? I ​​just heard what you just talked about.

At that time, it was mentioned as more than 400,000 years ago.”

"Don't you understand the language that the voice spoke just now?" Leo looked at the other person and expressed his doubts, but then said slightly doubtfully: "But if you don't understand the language just now, what's wrong?

Do you know that the more than four hundred thousand years we are talking about is what the voice just said?"

"I don't understand the ancient Lanxi language, but part of what the voice said just now has been deciphered by Maester Robert, and that part mentioned four hundred thousand, years, etc." The humanoid explained, and then introduced himself.

Said: "I am Kakalu, a bachelor from the Academy of Ancient Languages."

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and introduced themselves, but when introducing their identities, they just described themselves as travelers.

Kakalu knew very well that the identities of travelers mentioned by Leo and Sylvia might not be true, but he didn't care about that. He was more concerned about whether Leo really understood Gulansi.

"You know Gulansi, right?" Kakalu asked impatiently.

Leo was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "I know a little bit."

Because Leo didn't know whether the ancient language spoken by Kakalu was the language of a country on the old earth, he didn't speak too slowly.

"I hope to hire you to help me translate an ancient book written in Gulansi." After Kakalu heard Leo's words, his face immediately showed a happy look, and made his request, and added

: "Of course the translation will be paid..."

"Sir Kakalu, you are messing around here again!" Just when Kakalu proposed the reward, a middle-aged man wearing special bachelor's clothes came over and stopped Kakalu's behavior.

This middle-aged man does not wear any academic certificate around his neck, but the tie and cuffs of his clothes have a few more glowing edges than normal bachelor's clothes, which represents his special status in the bachelor's class.

"Senior Belluc, why are you here?" Kakalu immediately became nervous when he saw this middle-aged man appear, and then asked suspiciously: "Are you following me?"

The middle-aged man stared at the other party angrily and said: "Your Excellency Kakalu, you think too much! If the Bachelor's Association really wants to punish you, there is no need to follow you and find your fault.

The fact that you took Lan Xi's ancient books out of the First Library without permission is enough to cancel all your permissions."

When Kakalu heard the middle-aged man's words, he immediately showed an embarrassed look on his face, obviously ashamed of his wrong idea just now.

The middle-aged man continued to scold: "Although there have been several serious conflicts between your domain and the domain of the Mother of Filth recently, and the relationship has deteriorated, we, Lan Xi, have always remained neutral and will never be affected by external affairs.

If there is any exclusion or suppression of foreign bachelors within Lanxi, the rights and obligations enjoyed by foreign bachelors and local bachelors will be equal."

"I know I was wrong." Kakalu lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Leo and Sylvia, who were standing aside, looked at the two of them with some curiosity. The middle-aged bachelor was obviously just an ordinary person, but the energy fluctuations emanating from Kakalu showed that he had at least a third-level psyker.

The power, but such a strong man with great power and life form is being taught a lesson by an ordinary person like a child, which makes people feel inexplicably inconsistent.

After scolding Kakalu, the middle-aged bachelor turned to look at Leo and Sylvia and said, "Please don't take what happened just now to heart. Lord Kakalu was too concerned about the translation of ancient books, so he

I will randomly invite the two of you..."

Hearing what the middle-aged bachelor said, Kakalu quickly interrupted and said, "Wait a minute! Bachelor Belluc, I didn't invite you randomly. This Mr. Leo understands Gulanxi and he can help us complete...

"

Before Kakalu could finish speaking, the middle-aged bachelor interrupted Kakalu and said extremely seriously: "Your Excellency Kakalu, you should know very well that in order to be able to translate that ancient book, the entire bachelor's association sent seventy

A senior bachelor of ancient Lansi language. Each bachelor's knowledge of ancient Lansi language is better than yours, but they have still made no progress in the translation of that ancient book. Why do you think that you are casually walking on the roadside?

Can a foreigner he met be able to translate that ancient book?" As he spoke, he turned to look at Leo and Sylvia apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, my words were not intended to be directed at you two."

Leo and Sylvia smiled and said nothing.

Kakalu is now completely unable to refute the words of the middle-aged bachelor, because if he refutes, it will be equivalent to saying that the knowledge of the seventy senior bachelors of ancient Lanxi is problematic, and he will offend the seventy senior bachelors in Lanxi all at once.

A bachelor, no matter how courageous Kakalu is, he would not dare to do this, let alone his teacher among the seventy senior bachelors.

Seeing that Kakalu had no intention of refuting, the middle-aged bachelor's expression also softened, and he said in a deep voice: "I remember, Mr. Kakalu, you still have three tasks on hand that need to be completed. These three tasks should have been completed in two days."

It should have been completed a full month ago, but it has been delayed until now, which has delayed the follow-up work. If you are okay, please go back to your studio and complete the work that needs to be completed. Don't always worry about other things that you shouldn't worry about.

"

The other party had already spoken to this extent, and Kakalu also knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not argue, and he had no intention of staying here anymore. He said sorry to Leo and Sylvia, lowered his head and hurriedly

's left.

After Kakalu left, the middle-aged bachelor did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.

When the two left, Sylvia couldn't help but smile and said: "What are we? Stage props? Those two people came to perform in front of us specifically."

Leo was also speechless at the behavior of the two bachelors, but after smiling, he said: "I am somewhat interested in the ancient Lanxi book they mentioned."

Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion.

Leo explained carefully: "Although the characters here are different from the French characters, the core grammar and the writing methods of most characters are still similar. You only need to compare them repeatedly and you can smoothly compare the two.

Articles written in two languages ​​can be translated into each other. If the ancient Lanxi language is the source of the current Lanxi language and Frankish language, then the core content is also the same. It can also be compared to find out the two languages.

The rules of mutual translation of words. But the current situation is that seventy senior bachelors of ancient Lanxi language are helpless with that ancient book. From the words of the middle-aged bachelor just now, it is not difficult to hear that the translation of ancient books has made no progress at all. This

Obviously it does not comply with the translation rules of the same language, so the language used in that ancient book..."

Sylvia understood what Leo meant and interjected: "It's probably not Ancient Lansi, but another language that is very similar to Ancient Lansi, but completely different. That's why those advanced bachelors would

The language in the ancient books was regarded as Ancient Lansi and then translated according to the grammar of Ancient Lansi. In fact, they were looking in the wrong direction from the beginning."

"Yes." Leo nodded.

Sylvia asked with some confusion: "Even if they are ancient books written in different languages, why are you interested in them? Just because you can understand one more language?"

"Of course not, I'm interested in the content inside." Leo responded simply, without explaining in detail, he closed his mouth and walked with Sylvia towards a shop selling various sundries.

The reason why Leo did not explain was that he was still unclear about the contents of the ancient book. He just thought that the ancient book was probably the private diary of a certain crew member of the Prometheus.

Whether it is the old Earth era or the later Earth Federation, there are some targeted rules and regulations, and it is stipulated that all official documents must be written in the same language for easy reading, so except for private diaries, no documents are allowed on any spacecraft.

Official documents written in another language will appear.

Compared with official documents composed of formulaic formats, private diaries can reveal more information.

However, judging from the attitudes of the two bachelors, it seems that the Lanxi ancient book was valued very much by them, and they even sent so many senior bachelors to decipher the words in the book. It can be seen that the author of this ancient book or the content of this ancient book has great influence on

It has extraordinary meaning to them.

Such an item with special significance will naturally not be easily accessible to others, nor will it be placed casually in the library. There will definitely be a large number of guards.

In Leo's opinion, there are only two ways to see the ancient book. One is to sneak into the big library secretly, find the ancient book, steal it out, read it, and then return it. This method is a bit troublesome, and

It takes a lot of time to prepare, and if something unexpected happens, it may cause unnecessary disputes.

The second method is the notice Leo sees on the notice board outside the grocery store.

"Are you planning to get a bachelor's degree here?" Sylvia couldn't help but ask when she saw Leo standing at the notice board for a long time.
