The years I was a pirate in Interstellar

Chapter 131 The Knowledge Austin Desires

Um, I don't understand!

Austin's head got dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't understand the meaning of the next two sentences, but he guessed that these words couldn't get around the word "deal".

After careful consideration, Austin carefully asked in the most flat tone possible:
"Please forgive my ignorance, I want to ask if I can get anything in exchange from you?"

This is a negotiating skill that Austin learned from his brother Byzantine. When the bargaining chips between the two parties are unclear, throwing the problem back to the other party is a good way to temporarily solve the problem.

Although there was suspicion of impoliteness, but fortunately the other party didn't care about this impoliteness, just looked at him quietly, and then said slowly:
"Special creations, powerful secret medicines, unknown secret recipes, mysterious materials, or some interesting knowledge."

"Knowledge?"

Austin repeated the word in a low voice. The word "knowledge" was the first word in the secret language of the star palace that all the founders learned, and he did the same back then.

I heard that this is also a custom passed down from the ancestors. The high-level founders of later generations will also teach their disciples this word first when they lead their apprentices. After all, for a founder, the most important thing is these two words. However, often even a high-level founder would not dare to say that he has understood a thing or two of this vocabulary in his whole life. It is a lofty goal that any founder can strive for for a lifetime.

Plop, plop, the heart beats fast, and the knowledge that Austin most desires...

"I think, I want to know the recipe of Mapo Tofu, please teach me this recipe!"

Austin, who blurted out his desire from the bottom of his heart, immediately regretted it, because obviously, after hearing his appeal, the mysterious being sitting on that magnificent chair was also stunned, as if he asked a strange question that even he had never expected .

Yes.

Which creator would ask for recipes in a sacred place like the Star Palace?

This is simply blasphemy!
Just when Austin was wondering whether to change the content of the transaction, the ethereal and indistinguishable voice of the mysterious man came from his ears. It seemed that the person talking to him was not a human being, but a protoss who was born following the will of the world .

"as you wish!"

The mysterious man who had been sitting casually on the majestic black stone seat suddenly put down his raised right leg, sat up straight, stretched out his hand and waved lightly, countless stars condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a cloth Papyrus covered with secret language of the golden star palace.

"The starlight ether of the ten directions."

As if he was afraid that he would not understand, the mysterious man took out a piece of ether and made a gesture of ten.

With a little more hand, the straw paper flew in front of Austin like an empty boat.

Excited, flushed and short of breath, Austin snatched the straw paper on which the knowledge he dreamed of was written, and his excited face collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The good news is that the secret recipe is true, even though it is written in the secret language of the star palace, he can understand all of it.

The bad news is that this secret recipe is exactly the same as the one passed down by his family, and it is useless to understand it.

In other words, he took this secret recipe for nothing, because he couldn't make food that people could eat with this recipe.

"something wrong?"

problem?

Austin shook his head quickly, smiled bitterly and said:

"It's not that there is something wrong with the secret recipe you gave. The problem is with me. I can't make this dish. Maybe I shouldn't use 'Dragon's Breath' to replace the 'Two Vitex Red Pepper' in it, but I have searched the royal family. In the classics, I couldn't find any information related to the material of 'Er Vitex Red Pepper', could it be that my translation was wrong?"

"Pfft~"

Austin raised his head in doubt, he seemed to have heard laughter just now.

I saw that the mysterious existence concocted another secret recipe and delivered it to him. This time, the paper was not only written in Interstellar Common Language, but the ingredients used in this recipe were all derived from those incomprehensible strange ingredients. It has become a common and commonly used food and seasoning on the market.

"Is this how 'Ma Po Tofu' is cooked?"

Austin's excited voice trembled, even with his weak cooking level, he can tell that if he cooks according to the ingredients and steps in the current recipe, at least there will be no horrible thing like eating to death up.

But how could this grown-up understand Interstellar Common Language?

Austin reacted in an instant. Although the unknown mysterious existence had been talking to him in the pure celestial secret language, he had always spoken the interstellar lingua franca.

Rather than saying no, it would be more appropriate to say disdain.

Disdain, don't you?

Austin gave a wry smile.

It seems that there is no way to escape this cramming course of secret language of the horoscope.

"Translation, Shifang."

Austin was stunned when he heard the words. He understood everything this time. Did he really disdain to communicate in Interstellar Common Language? Otherwise, why would the translation be as expensive as the formula?
Of course, it can't be because the other party lacks this mere Shifang Ether, and he despises such a small amount of money and loses his momentum.

Just like when his brother Byzant visited other alien sovereign countries, he could speak the other party's language fluently, but he never did so in public and insisted on using the interstellar lingua franca of human beings.

Because it's a matter of dignity.

Just as high-level founders will definitely use the secret language of the celestial palace to record their own unique founder formula, can't they keep it secret with the interstellar communication language?Obviously not, if you want to keep it secret, there are countless better and safer ways than writing the formula in the secret language of the star palace, but all the creators, no one asked them to do this, but all of them did it.

And this belongs to the dignity of the founder.

The mysterious man sitting on the majestic star chair continued:
"Trade closed, next is guidance time."

It was another formula written in the secret language of the celestial palace, and a small bottle of light blue secret medicine. Although the level was not high, and he had never learned it carefully, Austin did not lack the eyesight and insight that Austin should have. He could recognize this bottle at a glance. The secret medicine is not the lowest rank secret medicine of F or G rank.

Just when Austin wondered why such an existence would suddenly take out such a low-level secret medicine, he saw the other party clapping his hands, and the boundless starry sky around him turned into a twisted stream of light as if it had been accelerated by millions of times. , In a daze, he opened his eyes again, only to find that he was standing in the middle of the study, as if all the experiences just now were just a fantasy of his.

"This is definitely not a dream!"

Seeing the three formulas in his hand and a bottle of light blue secret medicine, Austin's pupils constricted and his face was full of shock.

I am afraid that no one will believe what he has experienced today, even if he is a prince.

A being who is not the ancestor but is similar to the ancestor met him in the star palace?

The white should refer to the ancestor, and the black probably represents the mysterious existence he saw today.

"Am I the so-called protagonist?"

Austin's face was full of excitement.

"Ah~"

The pendant, which lost its strength and fell from mid-air, hit Austin's head impartially, interrupting his wild thoughts.

Austin keenly noticed that the heart in the pendant was still bright red and alive, even beating slowly.

Although he didn't say it clearly, the person who needed to pay for the twenty ethers in the transaction didn't bother him to ask for it. Obviously he didn't think he came with ethers this time, which can be said to be very kind.

Bending down to pick up the pendant from the ground, and wearing it around his neck again, Austin tightly held this family pendant that meant a lot to him, and murmured:
"Does it mean there will be a next time?"

……

　happy new year~
