Xiao Lin smacked his tongue when he heard this, no wonder the old man readily agreed to settle the bill every day, and according to the harsh algorithm of deducting one day if he was late, he dared to love whose pocket the money was in in the end.
Xiao Lin came to the corner table and sat down, in front of him was a thick stack of white paper, several of which were already written in the Gunoma language, Laurent came over and laughed in a low voice: "This was originally my job, but now I can finally hand it over to you!"
According to Professor Brown's rules, the lowest level of Gunoma is in charge of the records, and now you are the lowest. ” The things that this team is responsible for are actually very simple, Xiao Lin has inquired about them when chatting just now, most of these stone slabs on the ground are fragmented, even if the handwriting on the stone slabs is intact, they have been very blurred, or even completely disappeared, their job is to maximize the slate vows, and then record the contents on it, and finally these contents will be handed over to Professor Brown.
The real translation work will be done by the A-level professor of the Gunomah language, and they will only do the most basic restoration.
"It sounds like my job is the easiest."
Xiao Lin said with a smile that his task was only to transcribe the stone slabs that others had put together.
But after saying this, the others immediately looked at it with strange eyes, and Laurent couldn't help but grin and show a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said with a smile: "If that's it, why bother to invite someone who knows the ancient Norma language to come and copy it, you'll understand soon, hehe!"
” Lorend's malicious smile made Xiao Lin vaguely feel as if he had guessed wrong, and it took him less than half an hour to realize that he was wrong.
Although he didn't know how troublesome other people's work was, the transcription work was definitely not as easy as he imagined, and even more tedious and tiring.
The ancient Norman language is a very difficult language.
This difficulty is not only experienced in the complexity of the pronunciation and combination of the language, but also in the way it is written, the shape of each letter is quite strange, it is not like a pictograph, it is also awkward to say that it is a letter, and the writing style of the Gunoma language is quite exquisite, harsh to the point of even some perversion.
Let's say a certain letter.
The last slash must be about 45 degrees away from the direction to be the correct way to write it, if you are 30 degrees or more than 100 degrees.
I'm sorry, but this word means something else entirely.
This is somewhat similar to the polyphonic characters in Chinese, where the same character with different pronunciations means completely different meanings.
And in the Gunomah language.
Almost every script is polyphonic.
Therefore, the modulation of pronunciation should also be reflected in the way it is written.
Xiao Lin secretly complained, no wonder the ancient Norma language, as the earliest origin language in the world, was quickly submerged in the dust of history, and was replaced by the more concise Norma lingua franca.
If you are an ordinary person, you really can't complete the transcription work, because if you don't know the language, you don't understand which letter is the most correct.
Xiao Lin's lv1 level is more than enough to do this.
But he didn't dare to be careless, and the transcribed sample was to be handed over to Professor Brown for review.
If he is found to be wrong, there is no guarantee that he will not be deducted, and with the large number of alphabet strokes in the Gunoma language, the progress of the transcription becomes very slow and time-consuming.
Xiao Lin came a few days later than the others, and there were already a few pieces of stone slabs that had been put together, plus the part that Lorende had copied, in fact, the amount of work left for him was not much for the time being, and Xiao Lin did it as carefully as possible, although the stone slab next to him was put together, but this piece could only be said to barely guarantee the integrity of six or seven percent, and some were even lower, after all, many slate fragments were completely lost.
The work of the others was somewhat similar to the test that Hank had given Xiao Lin back then, with a cloze of more scale and difficulty, and they had to find as many pieces as possible to fit the current slate to fill in.
Judging from the traces around the stone slabs, I am afraid that it has been a long, long time, and Xiao Lin can't judge the origin of these stone slabs, because he is new to the slates, and it is inconvenient for him to ask others.
Professor Brown is indeed a very strict person, at noon there is also a special person to bring lunch, and they are not allowed to leave this courtyard, the main hall of the palace is full of stone slabs, Xiao Lin and others choose to eat in the side hall, the furnishings and furniture here have been completely emptied, leaving only gray-white and somewhat rotten walls, the side hall is backlit, the whole house can not shine sunlight, and in fact, the weather in New Washington today is indeed not very good, the sky is cloudy, and from time to time a cold wind blows from the broken window.
Eating in such a gloomy environment, Xiao Lin felt that he would be suffocated from psychological depression, he proposed to change rooms to eat, this palace is not big, there are always a few rooms, but was vetoed by Laurent, Xiao Lin took the rice bowl and went directly to find other rooms, but soon he came back in disgrace, and glared at Lorend, who was smiling happily.
"You already knew that the other rooms were not allowed!
Damn, why are there even guards in those rooms!
Xiao Lin muttered angrily.
That's right, in addition to being guarded outside the courtyard, there are actually people guarding everywhere in the palace, except for the hall and side hall, there are people at the door of almost every room, and these people will not stand there stupidly, but choose to hide in some dark corner, when Xiao Lin pushes the door to enter, they will jump out of nowhere to stop him, and then there is a very cumbersome identity verification procedure, and even called Professor Brown to confirm that Xiao Lin was a student invited from Shuguang Academy, and then let him go.
Professor Brown only warned him not to run around if he was fine, and not to enter these rooms without his permission, but did not give any explanation.
This made Xiao Lin's heart itch unbearably, plus he didn't have a good impression of the Adjudicator Academy now, he would always have such thoughts in his heart, the more you don't let me know, the more I want to find out.
Xiao Lin half-jokingly asked Lorrent and the others what was in those rooms, or asked them if they had sneaked in, because he could sense that several people in this team were very strong.
They have always been connected by soul chains, in addition to being able to understand each other's language, in fact, Xiao Lin can vaguely feel some kind of indescribable power contained in these people through soul chains, maybe it is spiritual power, maybe it is power, in the state of connection, this state can be conveyed to each other.
