Clone Octopus

Chapter 88 Strange Village

Latin is an ancient language that was introduced to Florence around 1000 BC and was later adopted by the Roman Empire.

In Europe, aristocrats had to learn Latin from birth, because it was a status symbol, and the works of many great writers were also written in Latin.

The origin of Latin is quite mysterious.

Anyone who is familiar with linguistics knows that Latin is a complex and precise language, and now Europe still retains a tradition that when signing a contract, in addition to its own language, a Latin copy is also required, because this language has a precise structure and can Avoid ambiguity between the parties to the transaction.

Some scholars pointed out that in the era of 1000 BC, Latin clearly surpassed the social productivity of that time. For example, Latin had words specifically to describe man-made aircraft and words specifically to describe hydraulic kinetic energy machinery. These words were simply used by the ancients. No, they have absolutely no chance of building an airplane, so why would they make up a vocabulary to describe an airplane?

So Latin must have been foreign, from a more advanced and sophisticated civilization.

It's a pity that no one can prove the origin of Latin for so long, so it has become a famous mystery in the history of human language.

As a senior fan of mysticism, Shen Rui naturally knows the mystery behind Latin, and he even knows a little Latin.

Although Shen Rui doesn't know anything about mathematics, physics and chemistry, he has a very high language talent since he was a child, and his English scores have always been top-notch in school. Shen Rui can also speak some of these popular small languages ​​such as French and Spanish.

When he was in junior high school, Shen Rui once picked up a Latin version of the famous book Faust, and he studied it by himself for a while with great interest. Later, due to lack of guidance, he was playful and put it down.

Two strange warriors speaking Latin passed through the wreckage.

Shen Rui finally saw clearly that they didn't know how to float on the water, but they had two large batfish under their feet, so it looked like they were standing on the sea and moving.

The batfish seems to have been domesticated, completely obeying the instructions of these two fighters.

As for the two warriors, they were completely dressed in ancient style, with simple coarse cloth shirts and shorts as the base, soft leather boots on their feet, ancient Roman-style metal half armor on their bodies, and a spear about three meters long in their hands.

They should be a mixture of Indian and East Asian descent, typical yellow race, black hair and black eyes.

The two eccentric warriors would never have imagined that humans would infiltrate this continent, turned around and left.

"Where the hell did he go? The two guys just now are similar to the ancients in the movie." Old Pan scratched his scalp and asked in confusion.

Shen Rui recalled the conversation between the two of them, and said to himself: "The two of them seemed to be talking about a high-status woman just now, and gossip about her."

Ye Wuhen was startled, and said in surprise: "So you also know Latin?"

Shen Rui said embarrassedly: "I only know a little bit."

Ye Wuhen nodded. He knew that Shen Rui's language talent was good, but Shen Rui could even understand ancient and obscure Latin, which really impressed Ye Wuhen.

After a pause, Ye Wuhen said in a low voice: "The two of them were talking about a girl named Her Highness Xue Er just now. This girl lives in the city and is the daughter of the Sea God. She is 16 years old this year. Apart from being pretty, they are still betting on who Xueer will marry, and it seems that it is very important for them to marry this girl named Xueer."

Shen Rui said in a deep voice: "In any case, we have to hide first, and avoid contact with these people until we figure out where this is and where they came from."

So, everyone moved down the materials loaded on the Haima, Xiao Ba grabbed a big bag with one arm, and easily transported it to the dense forest not far from the beach.

In the dense forest, there is a hill that is no more than 80 meters high. There is a natural cave at the foot of the mountain, which can be used as a temporary foothold for Shen Rui and the others. Put some branches outside to cover the entrance of the cave, so that no one will find it.

This strange place has only day and no night. Shen Rui and the others didn't dare to light a fire, so they ate some compressed biscuits and canned beef in the spring water, wrapped them in a sleeping bag and slept, and got up to prepare for the investigation.

Xiaoba's ability in the jungle has long been verified by Penglai and his party. He can use his arms to grab branches and move flexibly, faster than monkeys.

Xiaoba used his arm to bring Shen Rui to the top of the tallest tree on the top of the hill. Shen Rui looked around with a telescope, and there was a fishing village about [-] kilometers away. This was the first place to explore on this trip.

Shen Rui returned to the cave to discuss with Lao Pan and decided to let Xiaoba go. Shen Rui assisted through a spiritual link.

So Shen Rui manipulated Xiao Ba into the sea, and Xiao Ba was fast, and soon came to the sea outside the fishing village, and lay down on a reef to check the situation of the fishing village.

The houses in this fishing village are built with local materials and wood. They are all two or three-story wooden buildings. There is a small square in the middle of the village. The road in the center of the square extends to the pier. Behind the village is farmland and a wall also made of wood. It seems that the villagers are quite wealthy.

The fishing nets drying in the square were woven with metal that Shen Rui had never seen before.

Shen Rui grew up by the sea, and he saw a lot of fishing nets. Every time he came back from the sea, the fisherman would take the shuttle to weave the fishing nets and mend the damaged places. The nets used in this fishing village seem to never break. No tinkering required.

As for the humans living in this fishing village, their blood is very mixed. There are yellow-skinned Mongolians, white Aryans, and blacks. The only thing they have in common is language, and they all speak Latin.

Not long after, a group of men came to the pier. They all had conch shells of different sizes hanging around their necks, and they blew into their mouths, making a buzzing sound.

After hearing this sound, a group of fish came running from the depths of the sea, including swordfish, dolphins, sharks, and the most outrageous thing was an orca, which was eight meters long, and the color of black and white was very beautiful.

The villagers carried nets and harpoons on the backs of these fish, and the fish did not resist, and carried them into the sea, which surprised Shen Rui.

The fishermen spread out across the sea, hauling up long nets.

Xiao Ba is not far from the fishing village at the moment, it would be terrible if these fishermen find out, so Shen Rui told Xiao Ba to go back first.

Gradually, the fishing village disappeared from sight, Xiao Ba dived underwater, and Shen Rui was thinking about a series of strange things he saw.

A large group of sucker fish approached, staring at Xiao Ba curiously, probably never seen such a strong octopus.

Xiaoba has a child-like personality. When he sees a fish coming to play with him, he immediately raises his thick arms to show his strength to the group of small fish.

Suddenly, something that no one expected happened, the school of sucker fish that had been staring at Xiao Ba with great interest suddenly took a step back, and their yellow eyes became fierce.

A sucker fish rushed in front of Xiao Ba, and used the suction cup on its head to stick to Xiao Ba's body. The second one came, and the third one...
