The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Wait, this, it seems that this is really the case, it is really a language of the Monpa language family!" With Leo's suggestion, the old man quickly found the law of interpretation, and quickly sorted out the sentences of this sentence The position is considered to have initially deciphered this text.

Although he has not been able to completely decipher the meaning of this sentence, he has already found the direction to decipher it. This made the old man relax a little bit from the concentration he had been concentrating on just now. The down-stuffed seat cushions, and stretched out, while looking at the person next to him who had just reminded himself.

"Who are you?" At this moment, the old man realized that he was not in his research institute, and the person who had found out the research direction for him just now was not his student, but a stranger he had never met before.

"Leo Dodd, the owner of this letter." Leo knew Sir Roland very well, so he didn't blame the old man for his rude behavior.

"You are the owner of the letter?" Sir Roland was stunned for a while, and asked with a look of surprise: "You wrote this letter? You also wrote the words on it?"

"Of course." Leo nodded.

"How is this possible?" Although Leo admitted, Sir Roland still questioned in disbelief.

It's no wonder that Sir Roland has such an attitude, because according to Sir Roland's inference, if he wants to master all the ancient languages ​​in his heart, and can write them directly to express the desired meaning, the person who wrote this letter can only be a Chinese. Young or old, because it takes a long time to accumulate such a huge amount of knowledge, but Leo is just a young man in his twenties.

At such a young age, even if Leo started to learn various ancient languages ​​when he was a child, it was not enough for him to achieve such a superb depth of knowledge.

Faced with Sir Roland's question, Leo did not explain, but took out a blank piece of paper from under the coffee table, and quickly wrote down a dramatic line related to Earl Drake on the paper.

This line is very famous. It was a mobilization speech made by Earl Drake before the crucial battle with the Armada of the Kingdom of Sigma. Although it was a line, it was what Earl Drake really said. A bit of artistic processing, its content is known to almost all women and children in Vinylon countries.

There are a total of eight lines in the lines, and Leo wrote them in eight different ancient languages, and these eight ancient languages ​​are completely different from the ancient languages ​​written in the letter to Sir Roland.

Watching Leo write this famous line in eight ancient languages, the expression in Sir Roland's eyes gradually changed from questioning to amazed, and he looked at Leo with extremely hot eyes. When Leo put down the pen in his hand, He immediately said: "Okay, very good, I am very satisfied, I have passed your job application. Since your knowledge is enough to work in my research institute, I will grant you the title of the Royal Academy as the chief examiner of the Royal Academy." academician status."

Hearing Sir Roland suddenly said a series of words inexplicably, Leo didn't understand what was going on for a while, and was stunned on the spot, but he quickly figured out the meaning of Sir Roland's words, and couldn't help showing a wry smile , Said: "Sir Roland, you may have misunderstood, I am not writing this letter to apply for a job from you."

"Ah?" Sir Roland was slightly startled, and immediately showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He smiled dryly to ease his emotions, and explained: "I'm sorry, I don't know who spread the news that I want to recruit an assistant. Many people wanted this position and approached me in various ways, so I had to hide here with Diffie to cleanse myself, so I thought you were the same as those job seekers." After explaining, His embarrassment eased a little, and then he asked with some doubts: "Mr. Leo, since you are not a job seeker, then you used this letter to arouse my curiosity, so that I had to meet you again. What is it for?"

"Sir Roland, you don't need to think too much. In fact, my purpose is very simple. I just want to meet you. Because your name is often mentioned, I am very curious about you." Leo naturally would not say His real purpose, and at the same time, he could feel that Fidia Roland in front of him was just an ordinary person through the spiritual network. If he wanted to know whether Sir Roland in front of him was the same as himself, he might need a long time of contact. At this time, he thought of the assistant Sir Roland mentioned, and he also had an idea in his mind, so he said: "I forgot to tell you, I once studied with the old man Rembrandt for a while, and my ancient language enlightenment is also very important. Thanks to old Rembrandt."

"Rembrandt?" Sir Roland seemed to think of something when he heard Leo's words, looked Leo up and down again, and said thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard of you at Rembrandt's a few years ago, He said that there was a person who learned things very quickly, and almost emptied his knowledge in only a week. That person was an English soldier. I forgot his name, but now it seems that that person should be you, right? Leo Mr. Dodd."

Leo smiled easily: "If there is no other British soldier who learned from Rembrandt and learned as fast as me, I think that person should be talking about me."

"Haha! You are such an interesting little guy." Sir Roland laughed and stood up, walked to the bookcase beside him, opened a hidden compartment on the bookcase, took out a bottle of wine and two wine glasses from it, and returned After arriving at the seats, they filled up the wine respectively, and when handing them to Leo, they said with a smile: "Diffie always thinks that the wine he hides cannot be found by me, but every time I can find the wine hidden by him. The wine place, this bottle of wine is the wine of Porto in 1977, and it is also one of the best wines in the world, you can't drink it outside, you are right to come today."

Leo was also polite, took the wine glass, tasted the contents of the glass a little, then nodded slightly, and said: "It is indeed a very good wine, but unfortunately the taste is too weak, it is not suitable for me."

Not only was Sir Roland not angry when he saw Leo telling the truth, but he admired Leo's outspoken words very much, and said with a smile: "What you said is the same as our navy admiral, after all, they are all soldiers, and they have similar ideas. .By the way, if I remember correctly, you haven't been exposed to ancient languages ​​for ten years."

"Yes, my time in contact with ancient languages ​​is very short," Leo admitted with a nod, and said with a little reservation: "If you exclude the time spent doing other things, the time spent actually learning ancient languages ​​adds up to two or three. Only a year."

Although Leo has already extended the time he spent learning the ancient language as much as possible, if the time is really counted, I am afraid that he only spent a maximum of two months on learning the ancient language, or even less than two months. , but even two or three years, to Sir Roland, it is not much, and it is pitifully little, and the shock in his heart is naturally beyond words.

Later, Sir Roland asked about Leo's living conditions, work and other personal matters, and Leo answered truthfully, and the relationship between the two became closer.

In fact, Leo knew very well that what Sir Roland wanted to know the most was not his personal affairs, the text from Wangcheng was what Sir Roland wanted to know the most, but Sir Roland was too embarrassed to ask, so he never asked, and Lei Ou also did not take the initiative to mention the idea.

However, after talking for about ten minutes, footsteps and voices came from outside the door, and then the owner of the mansion, Diffie Roosevelt, pushed the door and walked into the room. After seeing Leo, He didn't show any surprise. Obviously, before entering, the servant outside the door had already talked about the situation inside the house.

"Teacher, didn't you come here to seek purity? Why now..." After Diffie Roosevelt entered, he nodded slightly to Leo, then turned to ask Sir Roland. Mistakenly thought that Leo was a job seeker.

"You misunderstood! This is Mr. Leo Dodd, a student of an old friend of mine." Sir Roland explained with a smile.

"Leo Dodd?" Diffie Roosevelt was stunned when he heard Sir Roland's words, and turned his head to look at Leo again. This time he looked very cautious.

Sir Roland also noticed the change in Diffie Roosevelt's expression, and asked, "What's the matter? Diffie."

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect to see Mr. Leo here." Diffie Roosevelt responded with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to Leo: "Hi, I'm Diffie Roosevelt."

"I don't think I need to introduce myself!" Leo stood up and shook Diffie Roosevelt's hand, smiling.

Diffie Roosevelt said with a smile: "Of course there is no need to introduce, you must know that you are very famous in the aristocratic circle of Port Scitech."

"Am I famous?" Leo Dodd frowned, wondering.

Diffie Roosevelt explained: "It is very famous indeed, because you made a lot of people lose money. No, it should not be a lot of people, but everyone."

Although Diffie Roosevelt just said a simple sentence without beginning and end, Leo could vaguely speculate that the loss of money might be related to his housekeeper, so he didn't continue to ask.

However, Sir Roland on the side obviously didn't understand the situation, and asked with some doubts: "What's going on? How did he make everyone lose money?"

Therefore, Diffie Roosevelt hired Leo as the former butler of the Duke of Buckingham as Leo had guessed, and the aristocratic circle of Dorset Port opened a bet for this, betting when Leo Dodd would be hit by the Duke of Buckingham At that time, everyone thought that the Duke of Buckingham would definitely do something, it was just a matter of time.

But the result was unexpected. The Duke of Buckingham ignored the matter at all, as if he regarded the butler who knew a lot of his secrets as an indifferent person, so all the nobles except the casino lost this time.

"Haha! You deserve it, a bunch of idle idiots!" Sir Roland laughed out loud, showing disdain for the nobles in Port of Sete, then looked at Diffie Roosevelt, and said with a smile: "Diffie, I'm afraid you are too. One of those idiots?"

Diffie Roosevelt showed embarrassment on his face, but he quickly returned to normal. He deliberately changed the topic back to Leo Dodd and said, "The main reason I sent you the invitation is to see that What kind of person is the guy who made all of us lose money, I didn't expect you to be more interesting than I expected, and you turned out to be a teacher's friend's student." As he spoke, he walked to the coffee table, leaving only Picking up half of the wine, he said rather complainingly: "Teacher, why are you doing this again? I finally got a bottle of fine wine, but before I had time to taste it, half of it went into your stomach."

"Don't be angry, isn't it just a bottle of wine?" Sir Roland smiled awkwardly, then coughed twice, looked towards Leo, seemed to think of something, and said, "The one you gave me not long ago I already have some clues about that notebook."

"What? You have already deciphered that language?" Diffie Roosevelt immediately put down the wine in his hand, couldn't wait to walk up to Sir Roland, and asked excitedly: "Where is the deciphered information? Teacher, show me quickly !"

Sir Roland quickly explained: "Wait, you misunderstood. It's just that the interpretation direction has some clues, but it hasn't really been interpreted yet."

Diffie Roosevelt showed a look of disappointment, but soon he recovered, and said, "It's just a matter of finding the direction of interpretation. I believe that with your knowledge, teacher, it's only a matter of time before you fully understand that notebook."

"Of course! As long as I have enough time, of course I can decipher that notebook." Sir Roland raised his head proudly, but then changed the subject and said, "But if you want a shorter time, you can also read it." Not impossible."

"Is there a way to shorten the time for interpretation?" Diffie Roosevelt immediately became very concerned and asked anxiously.

Sir Roland looked at Leo Dodd, who was quietly sitting aside, and said, "There is only one more person to join."

"Him? What role can he play after joining?" Of course Diffie Roosevelt knew Sir Roland's intentions, but he was a little confused about this proposal. Obviously he didn't know about Leo's situation. Perhaps in his eyes, Leo was just A rich man who bought his factory, and a lucky guy, didn't pay special attention to Leo, after all, he had too many things to pay attention to.

Sir Roland said with a smile: "Didn't I say that, he is a student of a friend of mine, and that friend of mine is Rembrandt." As he spoke, he handed the letter on the table and the lines of the play he just wrote to him. Diffie Roosevelt said: "His mastery of the ancient language has reached a very high level, even I may not be able to match it. The text in your notebook is a very ancient Black Forest tribal language. It can be regarded as one of the root languages ​​of French, and Rembrandt is the best person in the world who studies the Black Forest language family. I believe that as a student of Rembrandt, Mr. Leo has an absolute understanding of the Black Forest language family. Far beyond the average person, so his joining will definitely bring a breakthrough to our interpretation work."
