Please be my partner.

After the servant left, Professor Moss pondered for a moment over the pages of paper in his hand before getting up and walking towards the living room.

Mellen, who was drinking tea in the living room, turned around when he heard footsteps. When he saw the person coming, he stood up and said, "You must be Professor Moss. I am Mellen Warwick."

Professor Moss nodded casually, placed the pages of paper in his hand on the table, and asked, "Is this what you discovered?"

Melen glanced at it and found that the pages contained partial transcripts of the two languages he had discovered in the secret space.

After leaving the secret space, Melen naturally thought of visiting language scholars in order to understand the two languages.

When it comes to scholars, how can we avoid Princeton University?

Professor Moss in front of us is a well-known professor of linguistics at Princeton University.

It was through his connections in Florence that Mellen copied the two language parts he had obtained and mailed them to Professor Moss, which led to his invitation.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Mellen said, "Yes, Professor Moss."

Professor Moss nodded, sat on the sofa on the other side, took the tea handed to him by the servant, took a sip, and then said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Melen thought for a moment and asked, "Professor, do you know these two languages?"

Professor Moss scoffed and said, "The first one is very simple. It originated from a language spoken in a kingdom called Terang during the Transcendental Age. According to historical analysis, this kingdom is located in the west of the continent, quite far from us. Therefore, not many people in the Kro Kingdom know this language."

Then, Professor Moss's expression became more serious as he continued, "As for the second type, it looks similar to the Ancient Hermetic language. In fact, this language should be called the Magic Pattern Secret Language. It is a language from an even more ancient era. In the early days of the Extraordinary Era, the Hermetic people obtained and organized this language, which later became the Ancient Hermetic language."

At this point, Professor Moss's lips curled up slightly, and he said calmly, "On this continent, there are not many people who can decipher the secret language of the magic patterns, and I am one of them."

Mellen tactfully added a flattering remark: "Professor Moss, your knowledge is admirable."

Seeing Professor Moss's satisfaction, Mellen continued, "Professor, I want to learn these two languages from you."

Professor Moss raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't accepted any students in a long time."

Mellen's expression froze slightly. He had never thought of becoming Professor Moss's student. He just wanted to learn these two languages.

Seeing Mellen's expression, Professor Moss seemed to understand something. His expression turned colder. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Since you want to learn these two languages from me, what are you prepared to pay?"

Speaking of transactions, Melen suddenly said with confidence: "It depends on what you need! Gold coins? Extraordinary items? Or something that is inconvenient or impossible for you to solve?"

For Melen, at least within the Kingdom of Crow, there is little he cannot do.

Professor Moss showed a look of surprise. After carefully examining Mellen, he said, "Young man, I can see that you are very confident when you say this."

Before Mellen could even begin to be humble, Professor Moss changed the subject and said, "But money is useless to me, and I don't need any extraordinary items. So far, there's nothing I can't solve."

Mellen's mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Professor Moss smiled and said, "If you want to learn these two languages from me, it's actually very simple. You just need to agree to one condition of mine."

Mellen looked at Professor Moss, listening intently.

Professor Moss said: "In my opinion, knowledge is priceless. If you want to get knowledge from me, you have to exchange it with other knowledge."

"Other knowledge?"

Melen muttered to himself, and he understood what Professor Moss meant. He valued what he had gained in the secret space.

Mellen was not surprised that Professor Moss was able to guess that he had information related to two languages. Perhaps this had happened before.

After all, if adventurers obtain any records from certain ruins and cannot understand them themselves, they will definitely seek help from language experts.

After thinking for a moment, Mellen felt that it was not impossible. He looked at Professor Moss and said seriously, "Professor Moss, I can share the books I obtained with you, but if they are only in two languages, the value is far from enough."

Professor Moss frowned and said, "The value of knowledge is not something that can be easily judged."

Mellen said directly: "That is a blueprint of an iron fortress. If it is built, it may be able to compete with legendary strongmen."

Yes, even if he wanted to exchange, Melen was only prepared to take out the design drawings of the Iron Fortress.

Professor Moss frowned even deeper. He was only interested in the knowledge itself, but he didn't expect that the knowledge in Mellen's hands was so valuable.

Even though Professor Moss understood that building a steel fortress capable of fighting against legendary strongmen was an extremely difficult task, which in itself would greatly reduce the value of the steel fortress design drawings, he still found it very tricky.

Professor Moss even regretted hearing this information. You know, the temptation of a steel fortress blueprint that can fight against legendary strongmen to the Mechanical Association is enough to drive some of them crazy enough to take risks.

At this moment, Professor Moss looked at the young man in front of him who had always been calm and fearless, and he seemed to have become unfathomable.

After pondering for a moment, Professor Moss finally gave up the idea of getting involved in this mess, and was even unwilling to test the authenticity of the young man's words.

Professor Moss glanced at the servant, who seemed to be in a daze and had no reaction to the conversation. He then looked away, thought for a moment, and said, "Never mind. I can teach you these two languages, but I don't really want anything right now. Consider it that you owe me a favor."

Mellen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Although his favor is quite valuable, it doesn't matter.

After a moment's thought, Mellen added, "Professor Moss, after completing your instruction, I plan to embark on a journey. I never know when I will return to the Kingdom of Crow. If you need anything during this time, please take this and contact Florence."

As he spoke, Mellen flipped his palm, took out a gold coin and handed it over.

Professor Moss took the gold coin and found it slightly heavy in his hand, which made him very curious because normally, gold of this size would not reach such a weight. He guessed that the material of this gold coin might be other metals.

The front of the coin is a portrait of a person, and the back is a pattern of a castle.

Suddenly, Professor Moss was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully at the portrait on the front of the gold coin, then showed a bit of strangeness. This portrait was actually that of the young man in front of him.

Professor Moss didn't say much. In his opinion, this gold coin was just a token of love, and it was the person's freedom to make the token in any way he wanted.

Seeing Professor Moss put the gold coins away, Mellen smiled slightly without further explanation.

In fact, this gold coin was condensed by him using the power of fantasy. As long as the fairy tale creature sees it, it can easily feel the power contained in it.

After agreeing on the terms, Professor Moss's expression relaxed. He said, "In that case, if you come to me every Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 a.m., I can spare an hour to teach you. Is that okay?"

Mellen's mouth twitched, and he had the urge to cover his face.

He originally wanted Professor Moss to teach him as soon as possible, but he forgot that the latter was not a one-on-one private tutor, but a professor with a very high status in the entire Princeton University.

Being able to spare two hours every week to give him special instruction is already a remarkable thing.

Seeing that Mellen was hesitant, Professor Moss asked doubtfully, "Why, is there a problem?"

Mellen asked awkwardly, "Professor Moss, how long will it take me to learn these two languages?"

Professor Moss said, "The language of the Terang Kingdom isn't difficult. As long as you learn the basic alphabet and grammar, 200 hours is enough, including the time you spend studying on your own using relevant books."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "If you are an extraordinary professional who excels in spiritual aspects, this time may be greatly shortened."

Seeing that Mellen remained silent, Professor Moss continued, "The magic pattern language is more complex. Each of its characters has different meanings in different contexts, and the grammar is complex and varied. Although this allows it to express the most meaning with the fewest words, it is quite unfriendly to us, the later researchers and learners."

"If you want to reach a level where you can read normally, you need three to five years of in-depth study."

Mellen fell into deep thought. To be honest, three to five years was really beyond his expectations.

Although the magic rune code sounds quite grand, it is impossible for him to spend so much time on it.

Melen even had the idea of taking out the two blueprints and metal books he had obtained from the secret realm and asking Professor Moss to translate them for him directly.

However, this was just a thought. The two design drawings were fine, but the metal booklet might be related to the future career of the mechanical dog. If possible, he did not want to spread it out.

After thinking for a moment, Mellen suddenly asked, "Professor Moss, if you were to give up everything else and devote all your energy to teaching me these two languages, how long do you think it would take me to learn them?"

Self-study and accepting instruction from others are two completely different learning states, and the latter is dozens of times more efficient than the former.

Professor Moss was somewhat displeased upon hearing Mellen's words. He felt that this young man was really pushing his limits. Given his status, the number of students wanting to be taught by him would normally circle Princeton several times. It was already a rare opportunity for him to carve out time specifically for him. How could he possibly become a private tutor?!

But before Professor Moss could say anything, he saw Mellen wipe his face. Although the latter's face had not changed at all, he suddenly felt that he looked familiar.

This change immediately aroused Professor Moss's vigilance. As a well-known scholar, he naturally knew that extraordinary professionals possessed many strange abilities. He thought that Mellen had used some mysterious ability on him.

Mellen didn't mind Professor Moss's alertness. He said calmly, "Professor Moss, please introduce yourself again. My name is Mellen Warwick. I think you should know me. After all, I'm quite famous."

Normally, Melen uses the power of dreams to bless himself and disguise himself. This way, without changing his appearance, he can cause cognitive bias in people who see him. The effect is many times better than that of the Faceless Man.

There was a time when he really showed up, and it was a well-known one, which was when he solved the Roland City incident.

As a top scholar, Professor Moss actually doesn't care much about who rules the Kingdom of Kro, but as a young king who suddenly appeared and displayed absolute power to suppress the entire kingdom, he naturally knew it.

At this moment, Professor Moss's gaze towards Mellen gradually changed from vigilance to confusion, from confusion to dullness, and from dullness to shock...

"You are... the... king... who plucks stars with one hand?!"

Chapter 173 Interpretation and [Source Energy User]

In the end, Mellen received one-on-one teaching from Professor Moss.

The teaching time has also increased from one hour a day, two days a week to four hours a day, five days a week.

Of course, Professor Moss himself has a lot of things to do, so the teaching time is not completely fixed, but has a certain degree of flexibility.

But even so, Professor Moss has focused on teaching Mellen in recent times, and has put aside other less important matters.

Mellen, a mysterious person who suddenly appeared and occupied a lot of Professor Moss's time, naturally attracted a lot of attention and speculation. However, neither of the two parties cared much about it.

However, Professor Moss's formal students thought they were going to have a new junior fellow, and came to visit him one after another. Melen could see that most of them came out of curiosity to inquire about the news, but there were also two who seemed to have deep hostility towards him.

Mellen just thought it was interesting, that's all.

Learning a language is indeed not an easy task. Fortunately, the [Wolf Tamer] itself is mainly based on the spirit, and with the bonus brought by the dogs, Mellen's mental power far exceeds that of people of the same level.

High mental power brings stronger memory, comprehension, logical calculation ability, etc., which can bring huge advantages in learning.

It only took Melen a week to learn the basic reading and writing skills of the language of the Kingdom of Trang.

With the help of several professional translation and comparison books, I was able to understand the information collected on the fourth floor of the secret space palace.

As Melen expected, these materials did not contain any useful information. They were basically records of task handovers among members of the faction, and one was a resource report.

However, from these materials, Melen also roughly understood the composition of this force. It was actually a school of alchemists. This secret space and mechanical alchemy were only part of them. Judging from the records of resource exchange, they also had two branches: extraordinary alchemy and potion alchemy.

Next, Melen focused all his energy on the magic runes and secret language, which did cause him to encounter some obstacles.

The magic code language is somewhat similar to the Chinese characters in Melen's previous life, and the grammar is also diverse. The same sentence can often have a completely different meaning by replacing a few characters.

Even the same sentence, even if all the characters are arranged in the same order, can have a very different meaning just by changing the context.

Even with the hands-on instruction of Professor Moss, a master of linguistics, Mellen still learned very slowly.

However, Mellen absorbed the relevant knowledge bit by bit and was quite satisfied with the current comfortable study life.

There is another obvious benefit of learning from Professor Moss, which is that he can enter Princeton University as an exchange student. Here, there is a library that is said to be the largest in the Kingdom of Crow.

When Mellen gets tired of studying, she goes to the library to read other types of books to relax.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was the new year. Mellen first took the time to return to Vero City, and then went to Roland City. Butler Morgan was still in high spirits, and Sir Wright and Gano's new faction was also doing well, fighting openly and secretly with the royal family and the nobles.

With the support of Sir Wright and the king hidden behind the scenes, the new faction often has the upper hand in the struggle with the old faction, which forces the royal family to frequently step in to put out fires, otherwise their power will be lost bit by bit.

And this is exactly what Sir Light wants. After all, as long as you take action, you will inevitably make mistakes. If you make too many mistakes, even the royal family, who is high and mighty, will be pulled down from the altar one day.

The royal family naturally understands this, but if they remain silent, their power will be diluted bit by bit. Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try. In the end, it will just depend on who has more sophisticated means.

After visiting elders and acquaintances, Mellen returned to Princeton, to Professor Moss's home, and studied knowledge with peace of mind.

Princeton University.

When the guard at the door saw the sign hanging on Mellen's chest, he let him in without saying anything.

This is a temporary document that Professor Moss helped him to apply for, so that he can enter and exit Princeton University more easily.

After entering Princeton University, it seems that even the air is filled with a bookish atmosphere. The environment here is quite beautiful, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is a new scene at every step.

The students were either chatting and laughing, or talking loudly, or reading and studying, but the same thing was that everyone exuded a sense of confidence.

Looking around, what you see seem to be future scholars.

When I arrived at the library, although I had seen it many times, I still felt shocked when I saw it again.

The library in front of us is more than five times the size of the one in the Kingdom's Mystical Academy, and the number of books in it is far greater.

This library alone is an unimaginable treasure.

After entering, the library is divided into different areas such as economics, culture, politics, technology, biology..., representing the diversity and splendor of civilization.

Melen had his own goals, so he skipped some areas that he was interested in or not interested in and came to the biological area. After picking up a book, he found a place to sit in the center of this area.

On the surface, he was concentrating on reading, but in reality, wisps of barely detectable colorful light gradually spread out from him, enveloping all the bookshelves in the area.

There is also a similar library in the Fairy Tale Kingdom. The only difference is that some areas are filled with books, while others are empty.

At this time, the biological area was shrouded in a faint rainbow halo. Whenever the rainbow light swept across a book in reality, an identical book would appear at the corresponding location in the library of the Fairy Tale Kingdom.

The process is not fast and takes a lot of time, but it is slow and steady.

Melen took advantage of the characteristics of the power of dreams and planned to completely "move" this library into the fairy tale kingdom.

When it was noon, Mellen closed the book in his hand, returned it to the librarian, and left the library.
