517 Su Part 1 (1/2)
Seeing that the youth was mesmerized, Nailisi was pretty surprised. It's not that she did not have confidence. In name, she was Saleen's maidservant, and in reality, Lex's swordmasters never dared look her in the eye. Nailisi's appearance was a replica of the Goddess of Myers, just that she did not look as cordial.
This youth was pretty powerful, Nailisi felt that he could rival Jola. If it was not for the injuries sustained after going through the spatial passageway, this youth would not be any weaker than that giant snake.
Jola was a lustful person, but after becoming a Silver Grand Swordmaster, his perception to danger was very much heightened. Each time Nailisi approached him, he would get very fidgety. Sometimes, he would even avoid Nailisi subconsciously.
A demon was perpetually dangerous, because no one could control their thoughts. On account of Saleen, Nailisi would not try to harm Jola, but in the event that Saleen would receive more benefits if it meant that Jola be sacrificed, a demon would not be sentimental at all.
Jola's crisis awareness was formed naturally after his powers had reached a certain degree. This youth seemed more qualified than Jola, yet he had no danger awareness.
Nailisi held back the urge to kill this youth out of convenience. She turned around once more, securing her dagger around her waist. When that giant snake got stabbed by the Dragon's Tooth Dagger, half of its body got frozen in that instant. Nailisi then dug her fingers into the snake's wound. With a pull, she ripped apart the snake's skin, and began rolling it up.
The skull of the snake was still intact, Nailisi did not break its head to extract the magic nucleus. Instead, she made a cavity in its abdomen using her fingers. With a tug, she removed its internal organs. Observing this string of actions, the youth was bedazzled, and a look of shyness covered his face.
Nailisi's actions seemed simple, but even Jola could not clean out a dozen yards long snake in just ten seconds in reality.
By now, the magic war chariots had edged forward, while the four demons were still busy killing the endless supply of flaming fish. Nailisi stored the remains of the giant snake in her bangle, then she opened her mouth and asked the youth, ”What is your name?”
There was a wide variety of languages on the subcontinent plane, probably about one-thousand different languages. Nailisi did not expect a human who just came out of a spatial passageway to understand her words.
Indeed, the youth looked utterly confused.
”Narnia, go.” When Lex saw such a scene from the chariot, she realized that only the erudite Narnia might have a chance of establishing communication. The Myers mainland had a record of the languages spoken on the subcontinent plane, but it was highly fragmented. Most mages would not bother studying it. Since Narnia was an insane scholar, she could absorb any knowledge swiftly. Among Lex's mages, she was the one who understood the most languages and spells.
When Narnia heard what Lex said via the Sound Transmission Magic Array, she alighted from the other chariot and went to the youth.
When the youth saw Narnia approaching, he forced himself to stand, before bowing at Narnia. His short sword remained in his hand. After all, when any person went to a foreign place, they would definitely be vigilant. The youth was already thoroughly embarrassed at the fact that he got distracted earlier on.
Narnia spoke to the youth using words she knew. ”This is the Myers mainland, what languages can you speak?”
”Myers! This is Myers?!” The youth bellowed, losing his just-regained composure. He cheered jubilantly, but he spoke in a language which was highly similar to ancient Myers language; the predecessor of the magic language.
Narnia heaved a sigh of relief. This was the Karen language, it was still used on the Myers mainland. Many mages understood the Karen language so that they could grasp the origin and rhythm of magic language. The pronunciation of the Karen language was more complex than the dragon language. Other than a mage, no one else was willing to learn it. It was thus quite weird that this youth could speak in this language because he was not even a mage.
Nailisi could not understand the Karen language, so she grew bored and walked towards Saleen's chariot. The youth looked at her figure from behind, then he opened his mouth, but he recalled that Nailisi could not understand him, so he became depressed.
Very soon, Narnia began interacting with the youth, and led him to Lex's war chariot. When the doors opened, the youth observed the scene within the chariot. The woman he was attracted to was sitting beside a man, and they were chatting intimately.
”Your Royal Highness.” The youth bowed. This greeting was ancient, it was possible that people from the Myers mainland had spread such a practice to the subcontinent plane.
Now was actually not the time for chatting. In a chaotic space, there was not much difference between moving and staying still. After Lex queried the youth, she found out his origins.
This youth was a disciple from a family back in the subcontinent plane. In order to acquire the family badge, he had to undergo a trial. Hence, he entered a dangerous region on the subcontinent plane to hunt a young dragon snake. In the end, he had come into contact with an almost mature dragon snake accidentally. After a few rounds of battle, he could not kill it, and then he got sucked into some spatial turbulence by chance.
The youth was exhilarated, because according to the legends, experts were aplenty on the Myers mainland, so he would be able to pick up countless of skills. This place was also not as dangerous as the subcontinent plane as humans were the dominant species.
Lex was ashamed. After further probing, she realized that this youth was a rare expert on the subcontinent plane, hence she had peace of mind. If people like the youth were abundant on the subcontinent plane, then the youth would have been pretty disappointed. On the legendary Myers mainland, humans had long declined.
”Master, this fellow cannot return to the subcontinent plane anymore, let him follow you.” Nailisi whispered into Saleen's ear. Lex heard her words clearly and she knew that she could not vie with Saleen. This youth was abnormally respectful towards Lex, but he did not treat Nailisi in this manner. If Saleen wanted to persuade him, Nailisi only needed to say a few words to do the trick.
Nailisi was also very bored. Ever since Jola became a Silver Grand Swordmaster, he began treating Nailisi very formally. This youth was different, he was not afraid, it was way more intriguing.
