Chapter 1171

"What do you say?"

"Ancient Atlantis." ADINA repeated, "it's a language that we used to speak in Atlantis. It's so old that even within our mermaids, few people can understand it."

"So complicated?"

"It's not complicated, it's not universal. This ancient Atlantis is the language we used when the mermaids were just starting out, when we were very weak. Later, with the continuous growth of our mermaids, some of the races that we conquered or took the initiative to turn to brought some new phrases and words. In addition, we later established an alliance with the black octopus and the turtles. After the interaction and interference of the three languages, the New Atlantis language we use now is basically the seabed At least 80% of the undersea peoples use our Atlantis language, while the ancient Atlantis is the ancient language of the mermaid, so the people they can speak are limited to a small number of historians or large families of mermaids. Most mermaids directly learn the New Atlantis language, but their mother tongue is gradually forgotten. "

“№◎§※＆……” The metal octopus in front of us suddenly made a strange sound again.

I turned to look at ADINA. "What is he talking about?"

"He said I was a mermaid, but it was strange that they used honorifics just now."

"Honorifics?"

"The parliamentary system used by mermaids came into being after the amalgamation of various ethnic groups. At the beginning, we had a monarchical dictatorship. When the lower races met mermaids, they had to use honorifics."

"So they're inferior races?"

"Even now, I don't dare to talk nonsense! They have been scattered for so many years, and ghosts still know whether they still admit that they are inferior

I nodded and then said to ADINA, "the specific things will be discussed later. First, explain to them that the hole was not made by us on purpose, and ask what is the relationship between the thing we killed and them."

After a long time, she thought that we could forgive them for attacking us. The big squid we killed just now was a monster that invaded them. Originally, this was their city. Later, the thing ran in somehow. Then they were forced to evacuate to the city beyond the isolation gate, and this side was closed by them. They're happy to hear that we've killed this thing, and they want to thank us. "

I nodded. It seems that this is a better race to get along with. "Did you ask why they spoke ancient Atlantis?"

ADINA talked to me and said, "he said that they always use this language. But he also said their elders might know. He said that he wanted us to meet their elders. The elders here had said they wanted to look for mermaids, so... "

"I understand. This race should have been a vassal or companion race of your mermaids. See you. "

"Yes."

Under ADINA's and the creature's translation, we exchanged information as we moved toward their city, but most of the time we were answering their questions. It seems that this race has been in a closed state for a long time. They almost know nothing about the outside world, so they don't know a lot of common sense things. However, I also found a problem in the conversation, that is, it seems to be an auxiliary race. The so-called auxiliary race is the kind of race that lacks independent survival ability and needs to rely on a race with strong fighting capacity. Of course, the auxiliary race is not a completely useless race. Otherwise, the fighting race will not have a parasite like race in vain, will it?

In the conversation, we unknowingly arrived in the center of the city, where there was a huge square, and in the middle of the square was a huge building in the shape of bread. But what surprised us most was not the bread-shaped building, but the creatures near it. I thought these metal Octopus were the essence of this race, but I found myself totally wrong. These metal octopus are basically a kind of fighting arms, and they are actually semi mechanized fighting weapons. However, the body of this race is much smaller than this thing.

The metal octopus that showed us the way opened a hole underneath the entrance of the bread building, and then the creatures inside came out and took us to a group of local creatures at the door of the building. The creature that showed us the way was funny. First of all, this guy is only about half a meter tall, and half of his height is occupied by the head, which accounts for more than half of his weight. Under this head, which is bigger than basketball, is a cylindrical body less than five centimeters long that can be pinched by one hand. In the lower part of the body, there are 16 wrists and feet as thick as human fingers. But compared with octopus and squid, their wrists and feet are much shorter, and the tips of these brachiopods have three bifurcations, almost like a small claw. In fact, this figure is not very funny, the key is the eyes of these guys. These little blue skinned guys all have big green eyes the size of apples, and they have only a few holes in their nose, ears and mouth. Imagine how strange it would be to have such a big bald head and such big eyes?The little ones obviously didn't care much about the way I looked, because they were busy looking at ADINA. After repeatedly confirming ADINA's race, the local races standing at the gate took us to the interior of the building, but the way in was more depressing. Although the gate of this building is relatively large for this race, it is bigger than the dog hole for us. Fortunately, the interior of the building seems to be a gymnasium like place. Except for a circle of stands outside, the middle is basically empty.

After standing in the center of the square, most of those little things retreated, leaving only a few older ones. After all the young creatures had withdrawn, an old creature began to communicate with ADINA. During this period, ADINA pointed to me as if she was talking about me. Then the creatures discussed, and after a while, they seemed to discuss the result. One of the creatures quickly left here, and soon he came back, followed by a group of his fellow creatures, and they also brought back a large machine, but I don't know what this is for.

The creature swam to me and pointed to the machine and said something, but I couldn't understand it. ADINA quickly explained, "he wants you to go left to that thing."

"Sit up? How to sit? "

ADINA asked the old guy again. After a while, she said to me, "it's the platform. You don't have to sit on it. It's OK to stand on it, just above the instrument."

"Oh." I turned around and looked at the thing. Then I spread my wings and swam to the top of the thing with a slight flap. I took back my wings and stood firmly on the top of the instrument, waiting for their next arrangement.

"How about it? Can you understand us now Unexpectedly, when the creature made a sound in front of me again, I understood what he meant.

I nodded quickly to show that I understood. "Is this a translator?"

"No, it's not a translator, it's a consciousness connector. We're actually communicating directly using will. You can see that I can even transmit images directly to you. What about? Do you see the image I'm transmitting? "

I nodded again. "How did you get it?"

"We made it ourselves."

"Ah?" This answer really surprised me. "You made it yourself?"

"Yes. Our sigma sea people are good at studying the mysteries of nature. This thing seems very simple, but in fact, it is to combine all kinds of laws that exist in nature according to our hope and make them work miraculously

ADINA also proved: "I heard our elders say that we mermaids used to have a very powerful vassal race. Most of Atlantis technology came from their research, but later we were separated from them because of the attack of the great white shark. After that, the technological progress of Atlantis almost came to a standstill. It's the best we can do to keep technology going. "

"I see!" As for Atlantis, there is a sense of technology breaking in Atlantis. Many of their technologies are very strong, but their R & D ability is very weak. It feels like they are not their own technology. The mermaid engineers in Atlantis are really just engineers. They just have a good grasp of the existing technology, can repair, build, and even make some modifications, but they can't innovate.

"Master." ADINA suddenly said, "just now the elder said that he wants to return to Atlantis. Should we consider merging the two races as soon as possible? If they've been starving for a long time, they'll have to start lighting up for a long time! "

"There's no problem with migration." How can I give up a race with such a strong R & D capability? "But I have a better suggestion." Seeing that they all looked at me, I said, "the conditions here are very good. As long as you set up a large transmission channel and carry out some transformation, I think all the technical departments in Atlantis can be relocated. Anyway, what you lack is just a variety of materials. It's so hidden here that safety is absolutely guaranteed. As long as the material passageway is established, is it not much better than that outside?
