Chapter 210 (2/2)
Sui Xiong didn’t mind, so he taught Javier all his knowledge about pinyin.
As god, Javier possessed a strong strength and wisdom. He only spent two hours to fully understand and master pinyin. But He still couldn’t understand the article that Sui Xiong was reciting.
Oh, after The Former Ode on the Red Cliffs, Sui Xiong was then reciting The Snake Catcher Said.
There was a very unusual kind of snake in the outskirts of Yongzhou. It was black with white stripes. Grass and shrubs would die if they got in contact with the snake. If a man was bitten by it, he would surely die, as there was no cure…”
“Auscar, my friend, things that you taught me, are not helping me to understand the article that you are reciting,” Javier complained, “I still don’t understand.”
“How could it be? My mandarin is quite accurate…” Sui Xiong said.
“I could hear every word, but I can’t understand the meaning of every word!” Javier smiled bitterly, and I know I am able to recite the article like you. But to me, they were still words that implied ambiguous meaning. My recitation was just like wiping ink in the slab stone and chopping it onto a piece of white paper. Although the content was the same, in actual fact, it didn’t help me to understand.”
Sui Xiong looked around and hesitated. In the end, he told Him embarrassedly, regarding the detailed explanation and concrete context of those articles, it involved too much knowledge and many personal privacies, so it was inconvenient to share with him as a whole. Javier wasn’t stubborn, but still sighed heavily.
“Then, can I ask you the stories behind these articles?” He asked, “You can tell me whatever that you find okay to, and those that are not okay, of course you don’t have to tell me.”
Sui Xiong immediately patted his chest and agreed. Then, he explained to Him about The Snake Catcher Said.
“This article was actually used to criticize tyranny.” He said, “The most crucial sentence was ‘Alas, to think that taxation can prove more dire than a poisonous snake’…”
“Friend, I can understand the article was criticizing despotic regime.” Javier said, “I can understand.”
“… What do you want to ask then?”
Javier sighed, he slowly inquired about the allusion and background stories that he couldn’t understand.
On the battle ring…
The commentator that finished reciting The Snake Catcher Said, hesitated and started reciting The Old Charcoal Seller…
Sui Xiong was definitely not a good student back then. Although he learned many classical poems and prose, the moment he wanted to recite, there were barely a few that he could recite completely.
He was then a little bothered. If Lewre and Soocher were to fight for too long, and he finished reciting all that he could remember, what should he do?
Unless he really wanted to learn from a chapter from the film Love On Delivery (A mild-mannered food-delivery boy takes fighting lessons to overcome an enemy and impress a pretty judo student) he needed to pick a few books randomly to read.
Then, it would be very embarrassing! Even if he was thick-skinned, he would feel awkward! Luckily, it didn’t develop to that stage, as an accident cut him off from his commentating.
About the part where he was reciting “Two riders canter up. Alas! Who can they be? Two palace heralds in the yellow jackets dressed…”, a strong aura suddenly surged from the south of main dimension and turned into gorgeous five-coloured rays before it soared into the high sky.
Then, it was followed by the jumping and shouting with joy of the root power of the world, and it was agitated unbridledly.
“Someone is promoting to god!” That instance, various gods from Thousand Worlds could sense it, many Gods were screaming out all of the sudden.
Commoners promoting to God was not something common. On average, only one in a few hundred years would this occur. With two succeeded to promote to God in a hundred years, this was considered a lot. But… from the previous time, when commoners promoted into God and the birth of the god of knowledge, it wasn’t even ten years yet!
“Unless… Has it come to the age where fate whirled and rapidly changed?” Some experienced Gods couldn’t help but feel afraid.
Although it was uncertain where the person originated from, from the level of the power source vibrating, it could be told that the person was unique! Even if that person had yet to promote to God, he would be an extremely terrifying expert!
Such a vibration and strange sight naturally affected the commoners, including the two that were in fierce battle on the ring. Every commoner couldn’t help but stop and look to the south suspiciously.
Then, a mage of the higher order from Mifata Federation suddenly woke up and cheered loudly. “It’s master Ymirjar le-Peyroux! He finally promoted to be God!”
“Corresponding with the cheer, an old but deep voice was heard. Along the agitated power of source, it reverberated in the Thousand Worlds.
“I am Ymirjar le-Peyroux, the creator and guardian of Mifata Federation, the follower of mysterious spell, the highest and strongest spellcaster. I am all spellcasters’ protector and guidance. I protect the Essenes of mysterious spell, protect the inheritance of magic, and protect the great wisdom.”
Hearing that, Wor’s facial expression suddenly changed.
