Chapter 37 Enemy Tracks
Before Arthur came to this world, he got a lot of things from Merlin, all kinds of things, and there was no clue to mixing them together.
If it weren't for the excitement of Keno's escape, Ethan wouldn't have thought of sorting out the things Merlin gave. Without this big sorting, he wouldn't have discovered that there was a prop inside so quickly, which just happened to solve Arthur's language problem.
It was a very small piece of metal skin care, very inconspicuous, and it was easily overlooked when mixed in a lot of things.
The greatest function of this talisman is to transfer some of the knowledge in one's mind to another's mind. It is the prop version of the magic that Merlin used when he instilled language to Ethan.
From this point of view, it seems that Arthur can learn a new language by just a simple operation?
However, it is not!
The magic prop given by Merlin is not a complete magic, and can only be used as a supporting item. The main user of the spell is still a mage.
In other words, this magic must be controlled by Ethan himself. This prop can only ensure that his casting will not be wrong, or that if the error occurs, it will not cause any damage to the two people.
“This is a safety device.”
With Ethan's current mental power cultivation, it is quite difficult to cast such a spell, so he said that this is another test given by Merlin.
He wants to find this prop correctly among countless miscellaneous items, and then use this prop with his own ability. As long as he can do this, their small problems will be solved with the flow, and Ethan's strength will be greatly improved.
"It's exactly the same as the way of cultivation given in my magic book."
The spiritual training in the Book of Inheritance is a similar style, constantly putting new goals in front of Ethan - this goal is not too far away, and you can touch it as long as you work harder, which will keep him motivated to move forward and will not feel bored because he has not made progress for too long and becomes slack.
This time, not only did he use this prop with some force, but he also had a spell.
"This spell doesn't seem to be too difficult, but it's very useful. There are many places to use in the future."
Although Arthur became his partner, this person will go back to inherit the throne in the future. This time he came out can only be considered a travel exercise. Maybe one or two years, or more, it will be three or five years later, so Ethan must continue to find a suitable partner.
These partners cannot guarantee that they are all smart and can learn new languages in a short time - Ethan also has to go to various planes, and the language they use is numerous and complicated. If you understand this spell, you won’t have to worry about closing the language.
"When the time comes, make a language pack, and each newcomer will send one."
Ethan has been fiddling with this amulet since he got up in the morning. He finally studied it transparently and understood it at almost noon. The next step was to practice it continuously until he could cast the spell correctly and completely.
He asked Arthur to have a meal together, and then went to the practice field to go around.
open!
This is the only impression. The so-called driving range is a huge playground. There is no area division and there are not so many props for training. If you want to use weapons or loads? Please bring your own! The guild only provides a public space, that's all.
Seeing this, Ethan and Arthur just practiced routinely and left. There was nothing good to watch here.
Then Ethan went to the information room and stayed until dinner time. Then he had supper with Arthur, and taught Arthur some language basics - he couldn't always follow Ethan's butt and always had to go out for a walk by himself.
Unfortunately, learning a brand new language is not that easy, especially a completely different language. So half a month later, Ethan had already mastered this little spell called "knowledge sharing". Arthur was still very desolately pretending to be mute with a few small notes of common words.
Arthur was very smart and had a bad memory, but because he did not practice mental power like a mage to increase his memory to the point where he could not remember everything. Just the pronunciation of new languages and common words almost made him crazy. He barely mastered a few, and also had to consider the issue of oral pronunciation... In the end, Arthur gave up and waited for Ethan to practice this spell.
Until this day, Ethan said he could try it, and Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really painful to not be able to speak."
Ethan laughed so hard. In order to avoid being noticed by others, Arthur simply pretended not to speak. So when there were outsiders, he even had to resist the urge to talk to Ethan.
After all, there is only one common language in the Sea of Calm. There may be a little difference in accent, but it does not affect communication. This situation of Arthur has never happened. If he can speak but does not understand the language of this world, it is easy to cause doubt. If he continues to follow up, Ethan's biggest secret may be exposed.
For safety reasons, Arthur simply pretended to have a throat injury and could not speak recently. It was not appropriate to pretend to be mute because communication will be soon.
Today, his painful days are finally over.
"Don't be too happy too early. Maybe I have not mastered the spells well, and the failure may still exist."
Arthur showed a sunny smile: "I believe you will succeed!"
But in Ethan's eyes, he always felt that the sunlight was a little dazzling, as if he was going to burn him to death.
"Okay, I will succeed!"
Well, it seems that it's not that hot anymore.
No longer looking at Arthur's expectant eyes, Ethan focused on mobilizing his mental power and then cast this small spell - this is also a small spell that does not require magic but only mental power. Because directly using mental power is likely to cause irreparable mental damage to the user and the recipient, so the control requirement is very high, just like a precise operation, and there is no tolerance for any mistakes.
The prop provided by Merlin is a security, which will decisively terminate the operation of the spell when something goes wrong, and then ‘return’ the caster’s mental power in a relatively gentle way.
As for the recipient, it is safer. As long as the caster successfully casts this spell, it will be recorded by the amulet and then cast as it is passed on to the recipient.
So, as long as Ethan succeeds, there is no need to worry about Arthur.
Seeing Ethan carefully mobilizing his mental power and even sweat stains appeared on his forehead, Arthur also knew that the spell had been cast at its most important moment.
He even breathed carefully, for fear that he would accidentally disturb Ethan, who was concentrating on him...
But if he was asked to notice Ethan's true state at this time, he would probably draw out his sword and demand a duel, and then teach Ethan hard to be a human being.
"Huh? It seems to be a little simpler than I expected?"
"Everything went smoothly. Has my ability to control mental power improved?"
Ethan looked at the amulet in his hand and began to daze.
"Maybe it's because Arthur and I discovered the amulet a bit late? After all, we didn't count it immediately after we came to the Sea of Calmness, and we were drifting on the sea for a long time."
Unable to think of the answer, Ethan raised his head and noticed Arthur who was cautious on the side. He immediately gave him a big smile: "If you succeed, the next thing will be very simple."
Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the days of pretending to be mute were finally over.
As Ethan said, the next thing was simple and smooth. But Ethan also wanted to instill English, Chinese and other languages he had already mastered into Arthur, but when he saw Arthur who had just accepted the new, he looked dizzy, he decisively suppressed this idea.
Arthur's mental power is of high quality and toughness, but he is not a mage after all, and the mental power nature of both sides is still very different.
Arthur, who had obtained a lot of new knowledge at once, could not have no effect as Ethan had before. He had to spend a certain amount of time to digest it before he could continue to use this spell to carry new knowledge - and this carrying capacity was not infinite, and excessive amounts would also cause damage to his spirit.
"Well, it seems that it will take some time to transmit a new language to you."
Arthur also understood why Ethan did this. He didn't expect such serious side effects before, and he still feels a little dizzy.
"It seems I have to go to rest early today."
After saying goodbye to Ethan, Arthur went straight to rest. However, Ethan was not ready to go to bed directly, and solved Arthur's problem. Next, he was about to deal with his own affairs.
He set his sights on the guild's database. In the past few days, he just roughly flipped through the "catalog" and locked in the information he wanted to query, read or even record. Many of those things were not allowed to be brought out and could only be watched internally, so Ethan planned to stay in the archive room all night this time.
"Bring the book of inheritance and copy the important information directly for future inquiries."
His memory is already very good now, but he is not as comfortable as the top mages in calling memory. Sometimes he suddenly cannot remember it.
To put it simply, he can only be regarded as an ordinary person with a strong memory and has not exceeded this level yet. So the safest case is to record important information into the Book of Inheritance.
As soon as he walked out of the accommodation area, he heard two middle-aged men standing not far from the door talking about topics he was interested in:
"Shawn of Fire Hand seems to be dead. His name and the equipment were inherited by the original first mate Keno."
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"I heard from the port that an adventurer bumped into the Fire Lord and lost half of his supplies to save his life."
"Oh, it seems that even if you change someone, the Fire Hand is still the same."
"Yes, I still have to be careful to hide from the Fire Lord in the future... By the way, I won't go out to sea soon. I heard that guy is in the nearby waters, robbing those adventurers who have returned from sea."
“It’s really…”
