Elite Mages’ Academy

Chapter 123: Personal name

With a yearning for and thinking about skills, Xiao Lin didn’t fully concentrate on his work this day. He used it once yesterday, and will have to wait seven days for the next use. Moreover, yesterday’s gravity training made his muscles sore and swollen. He appeared absent-minded in the morning transcript. Soon Professor Brown went downstairs and pointed out some serious grammatical errors in his transcript with harsh words.

"Xiao, your spirit doesn't look very good." Brown also noticed that Xiao Lin was in a state of malaise.

"Professor, I went to the training hall yesterday and I was very tired. I think I need some time to adapt." Xiao Lin took the opportunity to say, "If possible, can I take a day off?"

Brown looked very unhappy: "The current progress is very slow, I think you should know."

"Okay, I see." Xiao Lin didn't expect this rigorous professor to agree, shrugging his shoulders to indicate that it was OK, and then handed over the volumes he had just copied to Brown, and pointed to them that he had drawn a circle with a red pen. In several places, he said: "These are not easy to translate. From the grammar of Old Norma, they are not very fluent."

Koroya raised his head and added: "I have seen those places. They are all original content on the slate. It can't be because we made a mistake or missed some letters. I think, Maybe there are errors when recorded on the slate."

Brown frowned, and said in a reprimanded tone: "Ancient Norma is a very rigorous language. It is impossible to make such low-level mistakes. You are not enough!"

Brown took it easily, narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, a trace of confusion flashed between his eyebrows, repeated chanting several times, and whispered to himself: "It's strange, it's not like the standard grammatical combination of Old Norma, isn't it? Is there any grammar I haven’t figured out? It’s impossible."

Xiao Lin was the closest, so he could hear it more clearly. Thinking about it, Professor Brown seemed to be the top level of Ancient Norma, if he couldn't even understand it. I would never blame myself.

Brown seemed to be a real person, and when he found that he couldn't even explain the grammar, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be deeper, walking back and forth nearby. Others also had to put down their work, waiting with some curiosity, wanting to see if Professor Brown could solve this problem.

"Is it a reversed form? I remember that Ancient Norma has this kind of grammar." Koroya actively suggested.

"No, it doesn't work." Brown shook his head.

"Short form? It's like short form in English." Laurend thought.

"Impossible, there is no evidence that there is a shorthand in Old Norma! I only believe in things with reliable information!" Brown continued to reject.

Everyone rushed to suggest for a while. They were all denied by Professor Brown, and soon calmed down. At the level of Old Norma, they really couldn’t give more help, that is, they put forward their ideas a little constructively. After all, this is from the Adjudicator Academy. It really has nothing to do with them.

Xiao Lin didn't say much, his rank was the lowest, and he was also the least right to speak. When other people were discussing, he was bored with the copied volumes and turned around. He couldn't understand the meaning of these words at all, but some sentences could barely recognize the pronunciation.

Xiao Lin suddenly thought, and said in a half-joking tone: "Maybe it is a transliterated word? I mean foreign words that do not appear in my vocabulary, so I directly use similarly pronounced characters instead. I used to learn English. If you do that, use Chinese with a similar pronunciation instead of..."

Laurend also laughed, with a look of sympathy: "I understand what you mean, I did the same when I learned Norma Common!"

"It's boring..." Koroya gave the two of them a blank look. For people who are really proficient in foreign languages, this little trick is obviously meaningless.

But Professor Brown's eyes lit up slightly. Whispered softly: "This is a good idea. If this is a transliterated word, then what language is it transliterated in?"

"It was the Adjudicator Academy that attacked the Thunder Kingdom back then, so it must be English." Laurende said of course.

Koroya shook his head. I read those untranslatable texts in Old Norma and said, "Obviously, this pronunciation cannot be associated with English anyway."

"Somewhat like French?"

"Please! I don't think this is French!" Laurend, who was from a French college, immediately denied.

“Actually, let’s think about it a little bit. When transliterating a word, the pronunciation may not be exactly the same, as you know. Sometimes it is really difficult for local indigenous people to learn our language, and the pronunciation is awkward.

Xiao Lin didn't speak, and he was definitely not Chinese from the pronunciation anyway, but he thought about it, spread his hand and said, "I said, why bother with you. How many colonial colleges are there? Try each language one by one. All right."

Everyone looked at each other and thought it was a good idea.

"The total number of colonial colleges is a dozen, but there weren't that many when the Thunder Kingdom was still established. Several colleges in South America and Africa were newly built in recent decades and should be excluded."

"I think Xiao is right, try everything!"

"Egypt speaks Arabic, right? Some of us understand Arabic?"

"Let the Adjudicator Academy come forward and find someone who understands the Academy over there, what's the problem!"

"Don't make any noise!" Brown snorted ~www.ltnovel.com~, rubbing his head, and said: "Then let's try all the languages ​​we can master. Everyone is from different countries. Try their native language, Xiao, start with you first!"

Xiao Lin read it several times perfunctorily, and shook his head: "Not Chinese."

"Not in French, I dare to swear to God!" Laurend didn't even read it.

"It's certainly not English either."

...

Soon all the questions were asked, but in fact many colleges did not come here. Not every college was like Shuguang College, not bordering at all, but there were still students like Xiao Lin who understood Ancient Norma.

"What about Russian?" Professor Brown asked.

"Without people from the Russian War Academy, the people who are all war madmen will not understand the wonders of linguistics!" Koroya's tone seemed to have no liking for the War Academy.

"In Russian, I know a little bit. My grandmother is Russian, but she doesn't know how well." A thin, tall man answered in a low voice.

Koroya turned his head awkwardly.

Brown didn't care about these minor details, and asked bluntly: "Then you come to read it, is this pronunciation similar to Russian?"

The man frowned for a while and did not immediately express his position. He looked a little nervous in front of Brown. After considering it for a while, he said, “Professor, I’m not sure. To a similar level, I feel that what this text expresses is more like personal names, Russian names!" (To be continued.) Ps: Book friends, I am the end of the cabbage.
