Tang poetry? Music, chess, calligraphy and painting?
Lily's smile froze. She was now in a rather embarrassing situation. You said she was proficient in Xia Guohua, but that didn't seem to be the case, because Lily's current situation was that she could say what she wanted to say as if using a The translator also expressed it directly in Xia Guohua, but she had only a vague idea of what she was expressing.
In short, Lily can speak Xia Chinese, and her pronunciation is very standard, very standard, but Lily does not understand the meaning of each Xia Chinese character. The reason why she can understand the black-haired girl in front of her is because To her, what the girl said was very close to the English she knew well. Although it was not English, she could understand the meaning.
But for some specific Xia Kingdom vocabulary, like the qinqi, calligraphy and painting, what Lily heard in her ears was really just qinqi, calligraphy and painting... Lily didn't know what Tang poetry was or what qinqi was. Chess, calligraphy and painting, so the scene was frozen there for a while.
As for why she suddenly had this ability... Lily thought it might be the random coin that brought it to her.
Suddenly, Lily had an idea and went to the desk drawer in the room to get a pen, paper, and a pad. She returned to the girl, handed the pen, paper, and pad to the girl, and asked:
"Um...Miss Shiqin...can you...please write the corresponding Chinese character for your name... here?"
Lily was still a little stumbling when she spoke.
Liu Shiqin took care of herself, took the paper and pen, and began to write her name. However, she just didn't understand why the sister named Lily in front of her, who was so standard in Xia Guo dialect, had to go to the trouble of letting her write her name. Coming down? And this weird pause…
After handing the pen and paper back to Lily, Liu Shiqin finally asked the first question she wanted to know:
"Lily...Sister, it seems that you are older than me, so I'll call you Sister Lili. Excuse me, where am I now? If possible, can you give me the exact city name?"
"Hmm...so that's what it says..." Lily first glanced at the paper in her hand, then looked up at Shiqin and answered her question:
"This is called... St. Lance Orphanage. It is the largest and only... orphanage in London, the British Empire. It is located in Dunlon." This answer Lily learned this from her teachers and others who introduced it here.
Lily struggled to overcome the pause.
"The British Empire...the British Empire...the City of London...could it be the British Empire in Europe?" Shiqin's face was full of disbelief.
"Well, yes, if nothing else, yes." Lily felt that her tongue seemed to be able to adapt to speaking Xia Guohua.
Xiu and Aiden have been standing there for nearly 5 minutes at the door of the room. Both of them are currently confused. One is thinking about when Lily learned Xia Guohua, and the other is thinking that Lily can actually learn a language in one night. . One was thinking about what they were talking about, and the other was thinking that the girl seemed surprised.
Two door gods.
Liu Shiqin was also stupid, wasn't she going to the Magic City? How could it suddenly appear in London, the British Empire? ......etc! Did Sister Lily talk about the orphanage?
Liu Shiqin took Lily's hand and asked eagerly: "Sister Lily, which area of London is this? Is it a security area designated by the government, or a high-risk area..."
Lily looked confused. In the high-risk area of the security zone, the British Empire government has never appeared here...
"Honestly... I don't know. All we see every time is a group of adults wearing white... protective suits, and they give us bottles and cans. And a bundle of..."Detailed Discussion of Erdiansi Mist", apart from these, they haven't said anything." Lily thought for a while and answered Shiqin truthfully.
It turns out that this is how [Two Points Four Mist] is pronounced... Lily also gained some other strange knowledge.
Shiqin's face turned even more ugly, and she asked weakly:
"Is he the kind of person with a mask on his face, only two eyes showing, and a big can behind his back?"
"Yes!" Lily's eyes lit up. Could this girl named Shiqin know something?
"Oh my god...am I really...in Sisyphus in London City? Didn't Aunt Xue say that the teleportation will only be done in the home country?" Shiqin seemed to have had her soul taken away. , staring blankly at the corner of the quilt.
"Sis...what?" Lily keenly caught a word whose pronunciation was not in Xia Guohua, but it didn't seem to be in English either.
"I think she is talking about Sisyphus, which is the name of a god in Greek mythology. It means never-ending and... no return." Deng also came to the door of the room at some unknown time. En suddenly spoke and explained the meaning of this term to Lily.
Liu Shiqin also came back to her senses, glanced at Aiden, and asked Lily: "What did the handsome guy over there just say?"
Little handsome guy...Lily smiled in her heart and explained:
"He explained the word Sisyphus you mentioned. He said that it was the name of an ancient god in Greek mythology, which means..."
"There is no end and there is no return." Shiqin took the words.
"To be honest, I can't believe everything I'm hearing now." Shiqin sighed.
Lily didn't rush to ask. Instead, she took out a few candies and two packs of compressed biscuits from her pocket, and asked Aiden to bring water. Lily and the others didn't know how long the girl had been unconscious or hungry, so I prepared some food for her when I arrived.
Only then did Shiqin feel hungry and weak. She took the biscuits and candies, thanked them, and began to chew them slowly.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Shiqin felt much better, at least the burning sensation in her stomach was reduced, so she opened her mouth to explain to Lily:
"Sisyphus is the name given to this phenomenon by a scholar. In addition to the [Two Points and Four Mist], many fog tornadoes have appeared in various parts of the world. The appearance of these fog tornadoes has certain rules. Generally, tornadoes The center of the project will include a building over 240 meters high."
"Mist tornado...but there are no buildings over 240 meters around us?" Lily thought for a while and asked in confusion.
"Well, perhaps, the center of the fog tornado will include an orphanage." Shiqin finished the sentence slowly, took the water glass handed by Aiden, and said thank you in awkward English.
Seeing Lily's thinking expression, Shiqin continued:
"In the past five years, people have done a lot of exploration and evaluation of fog tornadoes. I don't know the specific data, but there is a record in the "Two Points and Four Fog Detailed Discussion":
'The fog tornado has a special shape, only expanding at the junction between the sky and the ground, with a diameter of 24 kilometers, and the middle part is extremely slender, with an artificial estimate of 2.4 meters. The interior of the fog tornado can be explored, but appropriate protective measures and oxygen supply equipment are required. '"
Having said this, Shiqin took a breath and took another bite of the biscuit.
"Oh, by the way, one more thing. All the exploration teams who have entered the fog tornado exploration will not be able to leave the fog tornado." Shiqin ate the last biscuit, folded the biscuit package neatly, and looked at Lily.
