Chapter 195 Translation of 'Zizhitongjian'
"...I seem to have realized it." Su Cheng said in a deep voice, "In other words, the reason why I think this set of books is useless is because I can't make full use of the knowledge in this set of books... I can't make full use of the knowledge in this set of books.
knowledge, so I feel this set of books is useless.”
"He is indeed a general who can command an army of 100,000 people as one, and his understanding is really good." The man in black robe said in a praising tone, "Yes, that's exactly it. That's why I said this set of books is not for you.
"
"Su Cheng, let me give you a piece of advice."
"Starting when you get home today, you will translate your set of books into Britannia."
"I can't say too much about this aspect. Anyway, you can translate your set of books into Britannia when you go back."
"There is a person by your side who can absorb the knowledge in your book to the greatest extent, use this knowledge to the greatest extent, and finally achieve great things with this knowledge!"
"Who is it?" Su Cheng asked anxiously.
"Sorry, I can't say." The man in black robe said with a somewhat apologetic tone, "But you will soon find the person who is worthy of entrusting this set of books to you. You can obediently hand over this set of books now."
Translate the book set into Britannia, and then wait patiently."
"How do I know who is the one who can absorb and utilize the knowledge from this book to the greatest extent?!" Su Cheng said anxiously, "What if I give the wrong person?"
"Don't worry, you won't get it wrong. I can guarantee you this." There was a hint of joking in the black-robed man's tone, "Whenever you decide who you want to give the translation of this set of books to,
When you feel the urge, just hand it over with confidence and follow your heart."
After saying that, the man in black robe picked up the wine glass in his hand again, took one last sip, drank all the wine in the glass, and then put the wine glass down heavily.
"Okay, I've said everything I want to say to you, and I'm leaving now."
After saying that, the man in black robe stood up directly.
"?Please wait a moment..."
Before Su Cheng could even utter the last syllable of "Please wait", the man in black robe spoke first:
"I know you still have many questions you want to ask me, but I won't answer any more of your questions. As for the reason, just allow me to keep it secret. Just treat it as if I tell you too much, I
It’s fine as long as it’s counterattacked by my extraordinary power.”
As the man in black robe said this, he turned around and walked out of the tavern.
As he walked out of the tavern, the man in black robe continued:
"Anyway, you just need to remember: start translating your set of books into Britannia from today. In a short time, you will be able to find someone who you think is worthy of entrusting the translation of this book to you.
After you find that person, give him the translation of this book. That person should be the owner of this book, and he will be able to absorb and use the knowledge in that book to the fullest."
"Come on, Su Cheng. The world is about to become interesting again. I'm looking forward to your performance in this upcoming new era."
After saying these last mysterious words, the man in black robe directly opened the door of the tavern and walked out.
After watching the man in black robe leave, Su Cheng turned his head back, lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in his hand, looking at the light yellow liquid in the wine glass.
There was silence for a long time...
…
"By giving Su Cheng advice like this, I am indirectly helping the Britannia Empire. I feel it is too unfair to other countries by helping the Britannia Empire like this."
The man in black robe continued to talk to himself in a self-deprecating tone:
"Obviously over the past thousand years, I have long understood that no matter what I do, the future trend of the world will not change, so I have long decided to live freely, do whatever I want, and give advice to whomever I want.
But even though I have been mentally prepared, I still feel a little ashamed when I go out of my way to help a certain country..."
"Forget it, ignore it. Anyway, no matter what I do, no matter whether I come to give advice to Su Cheng today, the future trend will not change, so I still don't think too much, and quickly put this boring shame in my heart away.
Throw it away."
"Okay, now that I've given Su Cheng some guidance, where should I go next and what should I do?"
The man in black robe walked towards the main road and muttered to himself.
"There are three brightest 'general stars' in the world right now. One is in the Holy Hiran Empire, one is in the Britannia Empire, and one is in the Luolin Empire."
"I have already met the one from the Holy Hiran Empire, and I have just met the one from the Britannia Empire. In other words, I am the only one who has not met the one from the Luolin Empire.
……"
"Okay! It's decided! Let's go south to meet the person from the Luo Lin Empire!"
After saying that, the man in black robe stopped and raised his head to look at the blue sky above his head.
After looking at the blue sky above his head for a long time, he said quietly:
"...It's just that this one from Luo Lin Empire's light is still relatively weak, and it looks like it's still a child..."
"Forget it, just let the kids be kids. It doesn't stop me from going to see her."
After murmuring these words, the man in black robe took another step and walked forward.
As he continued to walk forward, the man in black robe said to himself again:
"I didn't expect that three of these military wizards, who are rare in a thousand years, would be born at the same time. It will really be quite interesting to see this upcoming 'four-nation struggle for hegemony.'"
"I'm really looking forward to it... The one from the Holy Hiran Empire, the one from the Britannia Empire, and the one from the Rollin Empire who is still a child, if these three people start a battle,
If we fight, who will win..."
"It's just... In my opinion, with the three of them at such a level, no one can do anything to anyone else purely by relying on military means... If the three of them want to defeat any one of them, they should have to rely on
It’s political means…”
After muttering to himself for such a long period of time in a low voice, the man in black robe stopped talking and walked silently towards the south...
…
night.
Pendragon, in Su Cheng's mansion, on the dining table.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Alan frowned slightly and looked at Su Cheng, who was in a daze next to him, "Why do you look so distracted?"
Speaking of this, Alan paused and then continued:
"It feels like you've been like this since you came back. You seem to have something on your mind. If you have something on your mind, you can talk to me. It's not like the two of us haven't talked about it before."
"Ah, ah...I, I'm not unconscious." Su Cheng defended in a panic, "It's just that this afternoon, I went to Mr. Jacob's mansion and talked about some very important matters with Mr. Jacob.
Things, I’m still thinking about those very important things.”
Although Su Cheng's lie was quite perfect, Alan, who had already developed a telepathic relationship with his brother, still half-squinted his eyes and looked at Su Cheng suspiciously.
Not only Alan was looking at him, but also Kailuoer and Deng Jiaer, who were also sitting at the dining table having dinner, were looking at him.
"Okay, nothing's wrong! Let's eat quickly!"
Su Cheng laughed, and then began to frantically pick up the noodles on his plate in front of him.
Su Cheng cooked the noodles very quickly. It only took less than 10 seconds for his plate to be empty.
"Okay, I've finished eating. I still have some things to do, so I'm going back to my room first."
After putting away his tableware and leaving these words behind, Su Cheng turned around and walked towards the stairs without looking back, preparing to return to his room on the third floor.
Looking at Su Cheng's leaving figure, Alan whispered:
"I feel like my brother is so weird... I feel like he is hiding something from us..."
Deng Jiaer on the side also nodded with deep understanding.
Kailuoer just sighed softly, and then said:
"Maybe it's something that you can't or isn't suitable to tell us."
"Since Cheng is now the Empire's Twin Oak Knight, it's not surprising that he knows some important military affairs of the Empire. The things he hid from us may be some important military affairs of the Empire."
"So just let Cheng be. If he chooses to hide something from us, there must be a reason for it."
"Okay, let's continue eating."
"Hmm..." Alan responded in a low voice, then picked up the fork again and started eating the noodles in front of him.
However, while eating noodles, Alan's eyes still glanced at the third floor of the house from time to time.
…
At this time, Su Cheng's residence, Su Cheng's room on the third floor.
After returning to the room, Su Cheng immediately locked the door and quickly walked under the bed in three steps and two steps at a time.
Then a large package was pulled out from under the bed.
After pulling out the big package, Su Cheng opened the big package directly.
What was placed inside this package was the complete set of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" that Su Cheng brought from earth to this other world.
Su Cheng picked up one of the books and looked at the four characters "Zizhi Tongjian" on the cover. Su Cheng squinted his eyes and thought to himself:
Zizhi Tongjian...a set of history books edited by Sima Guang during the Northern Song Dynasty, with more than 3 million words in total...
Sima Guang edited "Zizhi Tongjian" with a very clear purpose, which was to be written for the emperor, so it is also known as the "Emperor's Textbook"...
"Emperor's textbook"...that is to say, the knowledge in this set of books is for the emperor's service and for the emperor to learn...
So should my translation be handed over to the emperor...to His Majesty Gozevin? Or to His Highness Gale?
No, although it is said to be an "emperor's textbook", it does not say that it must be handed over to the emperor...
I feel like I can leave it to Mr. Jacob... I feel like Mr. Jacob can also make use of the knowledge inside.
Alas! Forget it! Ignore it! I will just listen to the man in black robe and translate this set of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" into Britannia!
After making up his mind, Su Cheng picked up the first book, walked straight to his desk, and pulled out the chair in front of the desk.
After sitting down on the chair, Su Cheng took out his quill, a bottle of ink, and a brand new piece of white paper from the drawer.
Looking at the brand new quill pen and the brand new ink bottle in his hand, Su Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The brand new quill pen in his hand was a gift given to him by Kairol in return during the hot spring trip more than 2 months ago.
This brand new bottle of ink was also a gift given to him by Deng Jiaer during the hot spring trip more than 2 months ago. Deng Jiaer gave him a dozen inks.
"I originally thought that these 12 bottles of ink might be enough for me to last until I die..." Su Cheng said to himself with a wry smile, "But I didn't expect that it would come in handy so soon... Things are really unpredictable...
I don’t know if I should use up these 12 bottles of ink first, or if I should translate the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" first... Oh, it’s more than 3 million words, when will I have to translate it..."
Su Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, then turned to the first page of the first volume of Zizhi Tongjian, spread out the white paper in his hand, dipped his quill in ink, and began to translate "Zi Zhi Tongjian"
