In Silvercliff City, Rhodes has been waiting for news about Ailon.
The waiting process was a bit long. Because of being in this position, Rhodes could not meditate deeply, and ordinary meditation could not bring much improvement. For a while, Rhodes seemed to have nothing to do.
During the long wait, Rhodes did not sit idle. Instead, he came to Ailon's study and read some classics.
Although it is difficult for Rhodes to learn special skills from books, he can still gain some knowledge through this method. The various messages recorded in books, as well as some legends that have been circulating for a long time, may be useful at some point.
Of course, most of the time, this kind of knowledge does not play any role, and even this knowledge will be completely forgotten soon after stopping reading. However, it can play a very good role in killing time.
Rhodes was flipping through the books while recalling what happened in the past few days.
After Rhodes stated the conditions, the city lord Ailon began to work for information about the artifact components. In the first few days, Rhodes could still see Ailon outside the mansion. In the following days, Rhodes completely Ailon was nowhere to be seen.
Although Ailon is not in Silver Cliff City for the time being, the internal management of Silver Cliff City is still in good order. In the past few days, the people Rhodes saw the most were the people responsible for managing the internal affairs of Silver Cliff City.
During the past few days, Elon did not restrict Rhodes' activities, but opened all the books in the study room according to the conditions.
For ordinary people, those who can learn any elementary skill from books in a short period of time are considered to have strong learning ability. Even if ordinary people were allowed to browse these classics at will, they would not be able to learn many special skills. Ailon was able to agree to Rhodes' condition because he naturally thought of this.
However, for Rowling, this is not true at all. By reading these books, Rowling can easily master most of the skills, and even mastering expert-level skills only takes a little longer.
If Elon had known this in advance, he might have changed his mind and rejected the second condition proposed by Rhodes, but he obviously did not expect it.
At this time, Rhodes, who was flipping through books related to mysticism, suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the other side of the room.
The sound is crisper and the volume is not deliberately lowered. At the beginning, the sound seemed to be intermittent, with some interruptions in the middle, but later, the sound could reach Rhodes's ears continuously.
Rhodes looked in the direction of the sound and saw Rowling who was also flipping through books.
At this time, Rowling was flipping through a book of unknown material. Compared with the carefully maintained books on magic knowledge around it, this book looks extremely worn. Most of the pages have turned dark yellow, and the text on the cover has long been unclear.
Rowling was browsing the contents of the book, and the sounds coming out of her mouth were extremely clear, but Rhodes couldn't understand the meaning of Rowling's words.
Rhodes knew that what Rowling said should be in another language. Although he could not understand the meaning of Rowling's words, Rhodes could hear some charm from Rowling's reading.
Since he has no special skills in language, Rhodes can only understand the simplest common language of human creatures. As for the languages unique to other tribes, Rhodes is completely unable to understand them.
As if she felt Rhode's gaze, Rowling's voice decreased a lot. Seeing that Rhode didn't seem to be leaving, she closed the book and looked at Rhode beside her, with some doubts in her eyes.
Rhodes asked: "Which language did you speak just now?"
Hearing Rhodes' question, Rowling thought that she was reciting words from the book and disturbed Rhodes, so she explained: "Crulode language, I found a record of Crulode language here. The book is written by a bard and also records some interesting things that happened in the territory of Crulod."
As she spoke, Rowling couldn't help but smile as she thought of the content in the book. However, she immediately put away her smile when she noticed that Rhode's face had not changed at all.
After hearing Rowling's narration, Rhodes seemed a little confused and asked: "Have you mastered the special skills of linguistics? Or is it just Krulo German? Just by reading this book, without long-term practice?"
In Rhode's view, linguistics is different from other knowledge and cannot be obtained simply by reading books. To learn this special skill, you need to spend a lot of time practicing, and even directly communicate with creatures of other races using this language, before you can finally master it.
Rhodes recalled that through the last words he heard in his ears, Rowling recited the contents of the book very coherently, and was able to read the poems recorded in the book without any obstruction.
After hearing Rhodes' question, Rowling hesitated, and finally nodded, saying: "While reading this book, a lot of knowledge appeared in my mind. In addition to Krulo German, it seems that there are also There are many languages that I have never heard of..."
Rowling's answer proved what Rhodes had in mind. What she mastered was linguistics.
When players master linguistics, they will be able to communicate with most alien creatures, and the effect is equivalent to diplomacy of the same level. It can be said that linguistics is the prerequisite for communication with other heterogeneous creatures.
Since linguistics cannot bring any improvement in strength and is useless most of the time, except for players who specialize in diplomacy with alien creatures, few players are willing to spend skill points to learn it.
At the same time, players can also rely on their own efforts to master this special skill through language learning. The improvement of linguistics is extremely special. When you fully master a language, you will automatically acquire this special skill. You will also master a lot of languages, whether you have heard of them before or not.
And it was through this method that Rowling mastered linguistics.
After learning all this, Rhodes once again had a new understanding of Rowling's learning ability.
After these few days of study, Luo Lin has mastered a large number of special skills. Although she has no chance to use them for the time being, her strength has been greatly improved.
Rhodes didn't know where the limits of Rowling's learning ability were, or rather, there were no limits at all.
As if he thought of something, Rhodes took out an ancient tome from the space ring and handed it to Rowling.
