Chapter 902 I understand a little bit
Locke, who had no choice but to convince himself, chose to do it himself.
After receiving a positive reply, Zhou Xu also showed a hint of joy on his face.
However, before he could be happy for a few more seconds, Locke's next words immediately made his expression freeze.
“I can accept your Majesty’s arrangement, but I’m ashamed to say that I don’t know much about how to cultivate and train giant eagles at the moment.”
"..."
"Or to put it simply, I just don't know anything."
"..."
The muscles at the corners of Zhou Xu's eyes twitched slightly.
“What did the patriarch mean when he said he wanted to take the young eagle back for training?”
After hearing this, Locke took out an ancient scroll directly from his arms without hiding it.
“This is an ancient scroll from my clan. It should contain the method of taming giant eagles.”
“Isn’t that enough?!”
Look Looking at Zhou Xu whose face was full of incomprehension, Locke coughed twice, with a bit of embarrassment in his tone.
“This ancient scroll was handed down from the old civilization, and the words written on it are in ancient Elvish language, not common language.”
Later, it seemed that he was afraid that Zhou Xu would not understand the key, so Locke explained it specifically.
“For this world, our elves are an extraterrestrial race and migrated from other worlds. Before that, our elves mainly used the ancient Elvish language, but later in order to facilitate communication, We learned the lingua franca of this world, and made the lingua franca of this world our main internal language."
"This has also led to a change in the frequency of use of ancient Elvish language within the group. It is getting lower and lower, and in the future, even the elves in the old civilization will not understand the ancient elven language."
"After the destruction of the old civilization, this situation will become more serious. Even if I am the clan leader, I can only understand it a little bit now.”
At this point, Zhou Xu finally understood why Locke was embarrassed.
Good guy, these elves in front of me have actually lost their mother tongue!
“So, I originally wanted to go back and spend some time to study this ancient scroll. Once I understand the research, I will naturally know how to cultivate it.”
“…”
Hearing these words, Zhou Xu rolled his eyes. This is not the way to sharpen a gun in battle.
The four young eagles are now getting their wings gradually fuller. It is estimated that they will be able to start training slowly in a month or two. Tell me the result, are you going back to study now? How long will it take to study this? !
Fortunately, Zhou Xu had a backup plan. He had already sent people to learn from the pterosaur trainers. If it didn't work, he used the lizard man's method of training pterosaurs, adjusting while training the four young eagles. .
But before that...
"Clan Chief, can you show me the ancient scroll?"
"Your Majesty, you still understand the ancient Elvish language?"
< br>Locke gave him a strange look.
Zhou Xu smiled.
"Well, you have to read it to know."
"..."
Locke was silent for two seconds, but finally handed over the ancient scroll in his hand. past.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Logically speaking, this is considered an important ancient scroll within their wood elves and must not be shown to outsiders.
At this time, Locke gave it easily. On the one hand, he felt that Zhou Xu could not understand the ancient Elvish language. Even he, the leader of the wood elf clan, can hardly understand it now. Can Zhou Xu still understand it?
Isn’t that a joke on him?
Of course, if Zhou Xu can really understand it, that is actually a good thing, because he can’t understand it!
Although Locke said before that he wanted to go back and study it, this is ancient Elvish language.
This is like asking a modern person to study Oracle.
It would be fine if you were a scholar who specializes in this, but the problem is that you are not yet, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
In this case, this ancient scroll fell into his hands. To put it bluntly, it was of no use at all.
If Zhou Xu could understand it and translate the content for them, although this technology would be known to outsiders, it would be better than being completely lost.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that Locke is actually a sensible person, and his mind is not muddy.
After taking the ancient scroll, Zhou Xu could feel the moment he held it, it was definitely not paper or fabric, but leather.
The main purpose of making a scroll with genuine leather is to make it easy to store and not easily damaged. However, it is obviously unrealistic to store it for hundreds or thousands of years, not to mention that this scroll was handed down from the old civilization. The history But it's even older.
With this thought, Zhou Xu briefly felt it, and sure enough, this scroll had been enchanted.
Just like the enchantment on their enchanted weapons, the enchantment on this scroll should also have a mechanism that automatically absorbs natural energy and maintains the enchantment effect.
The main purpose of this enchantment effect is to ensure that this scroll will not be destroyed by time erosion and aging over the long years.
Zhou Xu feels that the enchantment effect is quite good. The archives of various departments can use this method to save some important files.
Go back and try to talk to Locke to see if you can let him study it. The focus now is undoubtedly on the content of the scroll.
After opening the ancient scroll, Zhou Xuyi quickly became serious.
Looking at Zhou Xu with a serious face, not only Locke but also Silk and John who were accompanying him in the breeding room couldn't help but cast curious glances at their Majesty.
[Can Your Majesty really understand this ancient Elvish language? 】
During this period, Locke waited and waited, but before getting a response, he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, can you understand the ancient Elvish language?"
Hearing the voice, Zhou Xu's attention finally moved away from the ancient scroll in front of him and fell on Locke, who had a complicated expression. , then smiled slightly.
"I understand a little bit, hahahaha..."
Listening to Zhou Xu's laughter, Locke started laughing, but he was very confused in his heart.
He was mentally prepared for this, and at the same time he had a little bit of expectation.
But when this thing actually happened, he still felt that it was a bit magical, and he couldn't help but ask more questions.
"Where did your Majesty learn the ancient Elvish language from?"
"..."
Faced with this question, Zhou Xu really didn't know how to answer it for a while.
It can’t be said that he has systematic translation. From the common language at the beginning to the ancient Elvish language now, there is nothing he can’t understand, right?
"Eh, self-study."
"Self-study?!"
The moment he heard these two words, Locke's tone suddenly rose several decibels.
At this time, both Locke and John looked like they had seen a ghost, but Silk, on the other hand, was somewhat used to it.
But Zhou Xu obviously didn't want to talk more on this topic. After all, he was just talking casually, and he would make more mistakes.
With two dry coughs, he quickly changed the topic.
