Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 96 Learning Languages
For the people in Xueguo Town, this kind of heavy snowfall for several days is already commonplace. After the heavy snow stopped and the sky cleared up, people in the village came out one after another to clean up the accumulated roofs and streets. Snow.

And Woz finally found the only village within hundreds of kilometers.After setting foot in this strange village and town, he found another important question: what are they talking about?
Since he has been staying with Luluya who can't speak at all these days, Woz completely ignores the problem of language communication, and is still using the original language in his memory.Originally looking at the magic book in his hand, it contained square characters that he recognized. Woz took it for granted that this is also the common language of this world. Maybe Chinese has unified the pan-universe?
From time to time, someone greeted Woz, probably because they were curious about such a child running out alone at this time.

But... I don't understand it at all!Walking on the street, Woz always felt like he was being watched, which was very embarrassing.After wandering around in a daze, he fled.

It's not a big problem if you don't understand the language. Thinking about him, Woz used to be a spellcaster. He can even learn and master the language and characters of "God" in a higher dimension. What is this mere foreign language of human beings?Just give him a moment... wait, what is a spellcaster?Wasn't I a writer in my previous life? What kind of setting is there!Woz frowned and thought hard for a while, but still got nothing, and blamed the side effects of "traveling" for the reason.

After all, he probably doesn't have much time to waste thinking about these useless things. His body is too fragile. Thanks to Luluya's care these days, he didn't freeze to death or starve to death. After running around in the ice and snow for nearly a week, Woz's physical condition is not much better.It was freezing cold, and it was a luxury to find a warm nest to sleep in. Woz felt that he was overdrawing the vitality of this young body.

Sitting in a remote place at the entrance of the village, Woz opened his book again with a feeling, and found that there was more content in it.Although this book is not a different world strategy guide, it will always provide him with the necessary information immediately.This time is no exception. There are dozens of pages of new content, and more than half of them are strange and unfamiliar symbols. Through the corresponding Chinese character translation below, it can be seen that these symbols are the characters of this world.

After roughly scanning these symbols, Woz immediately determined that this is a phonetic symbol, unlike pictographs like Chinese characters that have the function of expressing meaning.Theoretically speaking, this kind of writing is not difficult to learn. In the final analysis, it is the repetition of dozens of letters and symbols.

Woz flipped through this "textbook" a few times, and already grasped its meaning.The speed of this learning is amazing, but thinking that there is magic in this world, what else is impossible?And learning fast is a dream for Woz.

"Okay, the goods you asked for have been delivered, thank you for your patronage!" After the customer closed the door, Leonor ticked off the list in his hand with a smile, and then pulled the cart full of goods to move forward go.

"La la la, a big harvest after the snow!"

During the days when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, not only the residents in the mountains, but also the residents in Xueguo Town seldom went out. Now that the snow is over and the sky is clear, it is time to buy the necessities of life.

Her No. [-] shop is a well-known food store in the town. After every heavy snowfall, Leonor will deliver goods to the door of the residents with disabilities in the town.

Sending it all the way, she has already surrounded half of the town in her sales range.Relying on this method, Leonor's No. [-] shop became the most popular shop among the residents.

Before she knew it, she had already reached the end of the town. The cold wind blowing in the suburbs made her shiver. She looked back at the empty truck and smiled contentedly.

Just when Leonor was about to turn around, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw a child sitting on the side of the road. The motionless appearance made Leonor think it was a sculpture for a while, and her body was covered with snow blown up by the wind scum.

"Are you all right? Child!" Leonor turned pale with shock, "You won't be frozen to death, will you?"

She dropped the car and ran up, slapping the snow off Woz's head and body.He also kept patting his face, and the place where he touched it was cold.

"Quick, wake up, don't fall asleep!"

Woz, who was immersed in learning a new language, was awakened by a strange woman who suddenly appeared, and then felt his body was numb, and he had been frozen unconsciously.

Seeing the little boy with black hair raised his eyes to look at himself, Leonor was taken aback suddenly: "You, are you okay? I didn't mean to hit you, it's dangerous for you to stay here like this Yes!"

Woz was puzzled, watching the woman open and close her mouth, making a lot of inexplicable syllables.Although Woz is already learning a new language, he can still write but not read. After all, a book alone cannot teach him pronunciation.

Woz stared at the other person's face and mouth shape, Leonor was a little hairy, and continued to speak.

"Hey, hey, are you okay? Can you talk? What's your name? Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?..."

Woz spoke suddenly: "Woz Frenner."

"What?" Leonor froze for a moment when she heard the boy spit out a few awkward syllables.

"Name, Woz Frenner," Woz stammered.

Although the pronunciation is a bit awkward, it is indeed a language that can be understood.

Leonor cheered up and continued to ask: "Woz? Why are you here alone? Where is your family?"

The complex syllable changes made Woz unable to understand again. Just being able to parse the pronunciation of "name" from a large list of languages ​​is already his limit.

Looking at the chaotic boy, Leonor smiled apologetically, feeling that she had asked too much at once, such a young child can understand, knowing that her name is already the limit, right?He asked so many questions, and he couldn't understand it.

But then, I saw Woz brushing off the snow on his knees, revealing a big book, and wrote with a brush: "My name is Woz, I come from the mountains, I have no relatives, and I need a job."

Compared with his weakness in language, Woz has excellent talent in "words".

Leonor watched Woz turn the book in front of her in a speechless manner, a little confused about the situation, what does this mean?He can speak clearly, he is not dumb, and he can write so fast, but why choose such a troublesome way of communication?
Then I saw Woz write a line directly backwards: "I can't understand the spoken words for the time being, can I communicate with written words?" Although it is written backwards, the words still flow out from the tip of the pen very smoothly, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Can't understand?But can write?What a wonderful reason!
"Don't children learn to speak first and then learn to write? Why do you do it the other way around!" Leonor complained.But all it took was Woz's bewildered, innocent look.

After making sure that the child wasn't playing tricks on her, Leonor had to take the pen and write down what she wanted to say.

"Because it's the first time I'm talking to someone, so please forgive me..."

Leonor froze for a moment before noticing what Woz wrote just now, "Come from the mountains, no relatives". His expression softened immediately, and he said softly, "So they are orphans? How pitiful..."

"What?" Woz wrote.

"You said you were looking for a job?" Leonor wrote, "What can you do? Don't force yourself too much, why don't you come with me first, and I will take care of you..." The female owner of the shop showed a pair of stars Eyes, she likes cute children very much, and often helps neighbors take care of children in normal times.And compared to the other brats, the one in front of him is obviously much more sensible, and doesn't need others to bother him at all, he is simply the perfect adoptee!
During the short contact, Leonor also found that this boy named Woz has a unique temperament, which seems to be able to form an atmosphere that makes her feel at ease and makes her feel very comfortable, so she simply proposed to adopt him Take care of his decisions.

This kind of reassuring atmosphere, Leonor only felt in her only best friend, Ulu.Compared with Leonor's other friends, the biggest difference between Uru and them is: Uru is a mage, and he is still the best kind!
Woz stomped his frozen feet and stood up, and then he saw the list in Leonor's hand at a glance. Although it was already very cold, Woz still felt his eyes go cold.Then, everything on that list was memorized completely, clearly!
Before he had time to think carefully, Woz had already understood what was on the list.

"Shop No. [-], the owner of the food store, is delivering goods." Woz quickly grasped the key words and had a plan in mind.

He wrote bluntly: "I can help you with the list of accounts, and I can also do the transcription of the paperwork."

Woz thought for a while and wrote: "I can learn to speak soon, so I can take care of the store and receive customers."

Woz directly gave the maximum scope of work. He himself felt that it was normal, because his mental age was still an adult, and it was normal to use work in exchange for remuneration.

But for Leonor, it was a bit too crazy to let a child of a few years old work.Seeing Woz's serious face, she couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay. Just come and be my little secretary. But I don't need to entertain guests." In order to take care of this cute child's self-esteem, Leonor smiled and agreed to give him a job. As for the front desk Forget about working in the store, otherwise everyone in the town will say that he used child labor and abused children.

However, Leonor still had some expectations in her heart. She also saw that Woz was a little too smart, and he was not a child at all. If his age was even ten years older, it was barely in line with common sense.

But... For an existence that might be a mage, no matter how incredible things can happen, this is the biggest feeling she has had since getting along with Ulu.

In this way, Woz entered Leonor's No. [-] shop and finally gained a firm foothold in this new world.

　Ahhhhh!Zhang Fei from Yan is here!
