Mage Joan

Chapter 937: Swamp Noble

In the depths of the reeds, the two marsh toads in the middle of the crowd also wear studded leather armor, but unlike ordinary samurai, the back of the armor they wear is painted with red dye on the back.

Qiao An carefully observed the pattern behind the young marsh toad. The curved red line outlined a beautiful toad with a wide mouth, and two lines of sharp teeth were painted with red dye in his lips, like a tribal totem representing noble blood. It is like the noble family crest or "coat of arms" of human society.

The elder, sitting cross-legged on the opposite side of the mound, had a significantly lighter skin tone than the younger ethnic group, showing off-white and fatter body.

Joan recalled the records of the Marsh Toad in the "Illustration of the Monster of Vales" and confirmed that the skin of the elderly Marsh Toad would indeed turn white.

The Numa Toad tribe has a tradition of respecting the elders. The noble elders hold the power of the tribe, and the most virtuous among all the elders are routinely elected by the noble parliament as the “French King”, which means “chief chief”.

The elder Marsh Toad sitting on the mound looks extraordinary. When talking with the young man, he shows an arrogant look that imparts a little bit of life experience to the other party. Presumably, his status is not low in the family. He should be a big elder. .

Joan also noticed that the Elder Marsh Toad held a pale cane in his hand, faintly emitting a magical aura, causing unnatural disturbances in the distribution of the surrounding magic net.

Joan adjusted the observation angle a little bit with curiosity, and found that the cane seemed to be composed of a whole spine, about four feet long, and the top of the vertebra was inlaid with a pale skull, which looked like some kind of monitor lizard or Yalong Skull.

According to his experience, Joan guessed that this cane was anything but a magic wand, and it was a staff. As for the specific spell attached, it was temporarily unrecognizable.

Joan shifted his gaze from the bone rod to the elder Marsh Toad who was holding the rod. With the help of the magical observation point, he eavesdropped on his instructions to the noble youth.

"Eagle Eyes" can make Joan eavesdrop on the surveillance subject's conversation from a distance, but he can't understand the other party's language.

As a mage, Joan is good at not many kinds of languages, but unfortunately it does not include the unique language invented by Numa Toad himself.

After all, this is a very rare language, Joan had no chance to learn before.

He eavesdropped for a long while, and he could only hear individual "Aquarium" words from the conversation, as well as two frequently-occurring vocabularies-"Qamaduo" and "Qadra".

When Elder Marsh Toad said "呱多多", it was often accompanied by a gesture of patting his chest, and his expression was quite proud. When he said "呱德拉", he often looked at it with a smile. Facing the noble youth opposite, his eyes were full of expectations.

Based on the elder's physical movements, Joan guessed that "Qamodu" was the name of the elder himself, and "Qadera" was the name of the young nobleman opposite him who listened to his domestication.

"Kao" is probably a noble surname of the Numabu tribe.

"Marsh Toad, did you put your surname in front of your name?"

Joanne found this interesting.

Colonists from the old world, the naming convention is to put "surname" after "first name".

For example, Joan Vida, Joan is the first name, Vida is the last name. According to the naming method of Marsh Toad, he should be called "Vida Joan".

In Joan’s impression, only a part of the “Asa” and “Warner” indigenous peoples in the entire New World adopted this type of naming in front of their names.

Joan wanted to know exactly what Elder Qomodo had said to Godra, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.

There is no need for the Master to learn the language of all races, as long as Joan blesses himself with a 3 ring of "smart words", he can overcome language barriers and understand any language.

But now there is a problem.

"Qiaoyanshu" only works for him, but he can't extend the spell effect to the observation point created by "Eagleeye". What can I do?

After a few seconds of condensing his eyebrows, Joan's eyes lit up, and he thought of a spell he learned not too long ago, which happened to be a key use for this occasion.

After clarifying his thoughts, Qiao An opened the casting material package, took out a small ceramic pyramid model, held it in his hand, and chanted the chant in a low voice.

"Tengwestié!"

When he finally pronounced a Quenya word representing "language", the pyramid model in his hand was quietly decomposed and turned into countless glowing runes flying around him, and in a blink of an eye he converged into his body again.

Joan exhaled slowly.

Sensing the magic wire around him, he was winding around his body, closely connected with the "eardrum" and "vocal cord".

When he receives the utterance signal from the outside world, it will first cause the eardrum to tremble, and then trigger the resonance of the magic wire connected to it, and automatically translate the voice signal into a meaning he can understand.

Next, if Joan had the need to speak back, the magic wire connecting his throat would tremble according to his mind, and then link his vocal cords to simulate the language he had just heard.

In this way, the purpose of communication across language barriers is finally achieved.

The principle of "Qiaoyanshu" is not difficult, but the difficulty is limited by the environment. At present, Joan can't walk to the marsh toad and talk to them face to face.

How can we use "smart words" to achieve the intention of remote eavesdropping and simultaneous translation?

For this, Joan needs a medium.

He spread his hands, his eyes swept ten fingers one by one, and his gaze finally fixed on the last finger of his left hand.

Joan chanted mantras softly, casting a ring of "mosquito finger technique" that was parsed from Mrs. Josephine's blood sample.

The left finger of his left hand trembles with the rhythm of the singing mantra.

When Joan chanted the start word "Eala" which symbolizes "life and soul", the first verse of the last finger broke off, separated from the palm of the hand, and hung in the air.

Broken finger, surrounded by magical aura, quickly turned into a "blood mosquito" full of pea grains, radiating a ruby ​​luster under the last rays of the setting sun.

Joan subconsciously looked at the cross section of his left finger.

The smooth cross-section is neither blood-stained nor painless, as if it were born with missing bar fingers.

But Joan felt that his tail finger was still closely connected to the "blood mosquito" in the air in an inexplicable way.

His own body does not feel alienated by being separated from the body and pulling away.

Joan tried to bend the tail finger missing a section, the blood mosquito in the air immediately flew to him, and fell lightly on his palm, trembling wings, like transparent silk.

Joan closed his eyes and quietly experienced the wonderful feeling of communicating with the blood mosquito.
