"No, there's a language barrier."
Sanxi was very straightforward and concisely told everything that had happened before, except that the professor named Kevin frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
The rest are members of the Island Guard.
The bearded dwarf at the head is the captain of the escort team.
He is also the immediate superior of the patrol team.
A bearded dwarf named Raleigh.
He has a burly body that is completely different from other black dwarves... although in terms of height, he is only ten centimeters taller than a normal black dwarf.
But it was enough to make him proud.
A well-known saying among the dwarf tribe.
That is, the closer the height is to one meter, or even more than one meter, the purer the bloodline is.
The family of the tribal chiefs with the purest bloodline are all over 1.2 meters tall!
But Rayleigh has just seen what height suppression means today.
Looking up at this giant who was two meters tall (actually, it was just over 1.7 meters tall, but it looked very tall when viewed from a low position), one can imagine the shock in Rayleigh's heart.
"Is this really human?"
He couldn't believe it.
Naturally, dwarves would not call themselves dwarves.
No sane dwarf would consider himself short.
After all, judging from the memories passed down from ancient human bloodline genes, the advantage of height also determines the chance of survival to a certain extent.
Even the dwarf tribe, which lives underground all year round, still holds this view.
At this time, Professor Kevin's voice sounded from behind.
The voice was extremely firm, and the giant he found powerfully proved that some of his views were correct.
As Sanxi said, this Professor Kevin is a firm supporter of the multi-school theory of human beings.
He believes that it is not only the diversification of species, but also the emergence of multiple different subspecies of the same species.
This is the result of adaptation to environmental changes in the process of biological evolution!
"There is no doubt that this is a human being, but it is different from us. The environment in which he lives must be very different from ours, and this process lasted for a long time before he could have such a tall body. By the way, You just said that his language is different from ours, so you can't communicate."
The last words he said were to Sanxi.
This made Sanxi a little flattered, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, we tried to communicate using language and gestures, but the results didn't seem to be ideal. That's why we called Professor Kevin. I think you should have some ideas."
After speaking, he turned his eyes to Kevin with a hopeful face, obviously having high expectations for him.
Kevin's eyes were deep and he nodded unconsciously, with a bit of complacency on his face.
"I'm not bragging. When it comes to research on language in the entire tribe, I would say it's second. No one will ever say it's first."
After saying this, he looked at the confused Li Yi under the expectant eyes of the dwarves, and slowly said this.
"Lihou!"
"What did you say?"
Li Yi was confused. He seemed to be able to understand a little bit of the other person's accent, but he was not sure.
This seems to be an accent similar to that of Blue Star's ancient officials, and I don't know where the other party learned it.
In order to prove his point of view, Li Yi decided to respond.
"Li Xie Biandu?"
"Ha! He can understand!"
Kevin's spirits were lifted, and all the dwarves looked happy at the same time.
This shows that both parties can still communicate!
Professor Kevin is indeed very knowledgeable and can even speak the language of sub-species humans!
So Kevin kept trying. (I believe those who understand can see that this is a Cantonese accent, but my knowledge is limited, so I still use normal Chinese. The following are conversations between Kevin and the protagonist. Of course there will be some mistakes)
"We are a black tribe, where do you come from?"
"I seem to be able to understand a little bit what you are saying. Can you speak more slowly?"
Li Yi responded in ancient Mandarin that he was not very proficient in.
"Can you understand? I seem to understand a little bit what you are saying."
"I seem to understand what you mean, but I'm not sure. Could you please speak slower?"
Li Yi spoke as slowly as possible and tried to get the other person to keep the same frequency as him.
But the gentle dwarf with glasses didn't seem to realize this, and was still saying something excitedly.
To be fair, he actually understands some ancient Mandarin quite a bit, but what the other party speaks doesn't seem to be that standard.
This resulted in what the two people said sounded like the same thing, but in fact they were talking like chickens and ducks.
But at this time, neither of them realized this, and still insisted that they were communicating normally with each other.
At this time, someone finally discovered the problem.
Guard Captain Rayleigh.
That's the bearded dwarf.
It's not that he's observant or anything.
He just saw a trace of a soldier's vigorous and resolute behavior in Li Yi.
As far as he knew, communication between people with this kind of trace usually didn't take too long, and they didn't talk too much to each other.
This means that although he can't understand what the giant Kevin Root is saying at all.
But he can count!
"One sentence, two sentences, three or four sentences..."
"Five, six, seven, eighty-nine... Damn it, it's been more than ten sentences, haven't you finished talking yet?"
Reilly immediately realized that something was wrong.
So, just as Kevin was about to ask questions again with great interest, Reilly held him back.
"Wait a minute, Professor Kevin, I have something to ask you."
"What are you doing? Didn't you see me communicating with him?"
Kevin glanced at Captain Reilly unhappily, but he didn't expect that the other party's next words would directly stop him.
"Really? So, professor, you just talked for so long, did you get any useful information? For example, where did he come from and what happened to us."
"this……"
Kevin was stunned.
Yes, I just talked so much with the giant, but I don’t seem to get anything.
This is not practicing speaking!
But the problem is, I don’t seem to be able to understand it... even though I can speak it.
Kevin quickly glanced at Captain Reilly, who was staring at him, and lowered his head guiltily.
As a scholar-level figure, concealing his expression is obviously not what he is good at.
This also made Rayleigh immediately see the embarrassment (embarrassment?) in his eyes.
He understood it immediately.
I'm sorry you guys chatted for a long time, but you didn't get anything from co-writing!
Then why are you here?
Funny?
Reilly became a little unhappy all of a sudden, and he didn't hide his expression, it was completely revealed.
As the captain of the guard, he has the greatest authority as long as he is on the ground. Even the clan leader of the tribe must obey the command of Captain Leili when he comes to the ground.
Naturally, he doesn't need to look at a scholar who only has status but no corresponding power to teach him any good things.
"So you got nothing?"
Rayleigh's tone became a little cold, and his expression darkened.
"No, that, after all, I have time..."
Riley waved his hand and impatiently interrupted Kevin's incoherence.
"I don't care so much. I just want to know the result so that I can determine whether this person is in danger and whether he can be brought back to the clan. I think you should understand what I mean."
Kevin became anxious upon hearing this and said quickly.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that if you don't find out where he came from, you are going to just let him go?"
"Do you know what the emergence of a subspecies means? Do you know how important this is to the understanding of our race?"
"I have no idea."
Reilly was still very unhappy and interrupted Professor Kevin's talk, saying coldly.
"I only know that this guy has been in the sea for a long time. Before confirming whether he has been infected, even if he is asked about his origin, he will not be allowed to enter the clan territory."
"And don't look at us like that, it's useless."
Riley stared at the angry Professor Kevin and spoke word by word.
"On this ground, everyone in the Black Clan must listen to me, including you!"
"Understand? Understand?"
For the last sentence, because he felt cheated, Captain Rayleigh used an ancient language only used by his family.
This is what he would occasionally say when his emotions were not under control.
What he didn't notice was.
Just when he said these words, Li Yi, who had gradually realized that something was wrong, suddenly lit up.
