Chapter 171 Warrior Karen!(1/3)
Although the Venn Empire has always insisted on promoting the Makele language family in the colonies, Makele language is still only one of the main languages in the world, not the only one;
For example, in the area where Darkmoon Island is located, its official language is not Maclay but Sidson.
And even among the same language families, the differences in regional culture will have extremely obvious regional language characteristics, not to mention the huge differences caused by different language families and the different cultural backgrounds they represent.
Some "greeting" methods with local characteristics are not only differences in dialects, but more like jargon or slang between different gangs and industries, such as the pagoda town of the river demon, and the ground shaking and high hills, and the streams and mountains that are beautiful through the ages;
When such words are simply translated literally, they are often very different from their original meaning, and it can even be said that the words fail to convey the meaning.
It's like what Karen once said about "down to earth", and Alfred really understood the meaning. But in the ears of Pu'er, Kevin and the people they relayed to, the meaning of this sentence was more like "
"Catching the breath and will of the earth" has moved infinitely closer to the teachings of the Earth Mother God Religion.
Of course, Pu'er definitely didn't mean to trick Karen, because she had no reason to dig a hole for her great-great-great niece.
The real reason is that for the pickled fish, Pu'er racked his brains and told Karen all the information about Dark Moon Island that he could find in his memory.
Including the sunset, a handsome young patriarch looked at her profile and said to her: "It is the mottled shadow under the afterglow of the dark moon that allows me to see the real you."
As a result, his deep affection was replaced by the indifference of the girl in front of him. The girl even asked him in an extremely perfunctory way:
"Oh, what do you mean?"
The young patriarch looked gloomy and forcefully explained with some disappointment:
"This is just a normal way of saying hello when we meet our friends on Darkmoon Island."
Pu'er told Karen this sentence and explanation;
Because back then she didn't care about the young patriarch who had been stalking and rejecting her countless times and still wanted to stick with her, so naturally she couldn't understand the "affection" in the words and the true meaning it expressed.
For Karen, saying a slang from the other party's hometown in a "diplomatic situation" is a form of respect for the other party, just like in his previous life he knew that Chinese and foreign guests recited an ancient poem in a very poor way to attract everyone's approval.
Just like applause.
He himself also knew that the reason why Neo placed himself in this position was to "enliven" the atmosphere, because Neo's team did not lack people who could play, but what they lacked were people who could watch and be decent.
Then, he overturned.
However, the "King Kong Barbie" did not feel offended. She used her image at this time to create an image of a naughty and playful girl, and she dealt with it appropriately.
The rest of the delegation, seeing their young lady responding in this manner, suppressed their emotions, and no one spoke up to scold Karen for her "disrespectful" and "insulting" behavior;
Karen is also under the influence of the Cult of Kosmos. If the forces behind the two sides were reversed, then Karen's words would probably be a serious diplomatic incident.
On the other hand, Fanny and Biju looked at Karen a little differently. They really didn't expect that the pony they had been teasing before would be so aggressive.
"King Kong Barbie" got into the car, Karen and Fanny also got into the car, and the business car started to move.
However, the aftermath of the incident did not end, but was confined to this car.
"You seem to be familiar with our Darkmoon Island?"
Ophelia did not take off her armor, and when she sat face to face with Karen in the car, she looked very tall.
Karen answered honestly: "I'm sorry, miss, if I were really familiar with the customs and culture of Darkmoon Island, I wouldn't be so abrupt and offensive."
At this time, it is impossible to directly say that you have misunderstood the meaning of this sentence, otherwise it will be hurt twice, and you cannot explain it in front of outsiders.
"It doesn't matter. In my understanding, you Venn people have always had this kind of character, free and easy, romantic and unrestrained. I think this is good."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding."
"On the ship when I came here, I read a diary of a poet from Wien. I was still thinking, wow, is this really the case? But now I am convinced that it is.
Have you read that book?"
"Is it "Luo Jin's Secret Diary" that Miss is reading?"
"Yes, that's it. It seems you've seen it too."
"Yes, I have seen it."
"Then tell me, are everything written in that diary true?"
"no."
"Oh, no?"
"Some were deleted. For example, Luo Zin himself had an extramarital affair with Her Majesty the Queen, but this content was deleted when it was published, because he himself did not expect that fifty years after his death, the Queen
His Majesty himself is actually still alive."
"Hahahahaha!"
Ophelia laughed, and while laughing, she slapped her legs with her hands, and the metal of the armor made a "clanging" sound.
"Her Majesty the Queen passed away not long ago. It is estimated that a new edition of "Rojin's Secret Diary" will be published soon. I can mail you a copy by then."
"Okay, okay, definitely, don't forget it."
The Queen's age joke has always been used by other countries to tease the Venn people. The Venn people themselves will also tease it privately, but rarely put it on the table. This is the basic respect for the royal family.
But there is no such taboo in church circles. Even Pu'er said that his family has declined to the point of having afternoon tea with the Queen. For the truly orthodox church, the so-called taboo of the royal family is just a joke.
.
"How long until we get to the hotel?" Ophelia asked.
Fanny replied: "Miss, there are about twenty minutes left."
"Oh, I want to take off my armor as soon as possible, because I'm worried that it will leave a heavy psychological shadow on my confessor, which wouldn't be nice."
Fanny smiled and said: "We will be here soon. There will be a simple welcome banquet in the evening. Three bishops from the York City Region will attend to welcome you. There are no itineraries for tomorrow. Miss, you can get enough rest and communicate.
The meeting will officially start in the morning the day after tomorrow, but it is just a communication meeting, and you don’t need to attend, Miss. Just ask your assistant to attend and exchange basic intentions."
"The formal meeting will be in two days?"
"Yes."
"It's a very considerate arrangement. You are very considerate."
"This is what we should do."
"It's two days, but I'm tired of staying on the boat. I want to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. I don't want to just stay in the hotel. Is that okay?"
"We need to apply and report to the above. If you really have this need, we will give you a reply after you arrive at the hotel and after the welcome dinner.
But to ensure your safety, we need to know your itinerary in advance, that is, where you want to go.”
Ophelia smiled,
asked:
"Do you know Allen Manor?"
Fanny was stunned, she didn't know, then she looked at Karen and asked: "Karen, do you know?"
Allen Manor was once very famous. After all, it was the leader of the pirate army in the past. However, the decline of recent generations has gradually made it forgotten in the mainstream circles. It is normal for Fanny not to know Allen Manor, because
This at least shows that Allen Manor has not broken any laws or disciplines...
After all, a normal family would probably not want to be remembered by someone with the whip of order.
Karen pretended to be thinking, but was actually hesitating, but finally decided to tell it, because whether she knew about Allen Manor or not, Fanny and the others would know it as soon as they arrived at the hotel, and if Austria
If Filia really wants to go, she will probably be able to go, so she might as well let herself take some initiative in advance.
"The Allen family was once a well-known pirate family in Venn. There are legends about the ancestors of the Allen family in many adventure stories. Now this family is responsible for the production of some workshop industries, most of which are dedicated to our Order God. Its manor is located in
West of York City.”
"Yes, yes, this is Allen Manor." Ophelia said, "You know so much."
Karen replied: "I just like reading novels."
Fanny smiled and said: "Miss, we will apply, and we will report the application results to you after the dinner, but I think it will probably be no problem."
"Thank you, and thank you to the Cult of Kosmos."
Karen asked; "Is it because of the pirate story that Miss wants to go to Allen Manor?"
"Pirates? Well, yes, our family did have some contact with the pirates of the Allen family in history. However, I was ordered by my elders to go to Allen Manor to visit the grave of an old friend."
Under the orders of my elders? That infatuated young patriarch is still alive?
How could he live to this day? Pu'er can live to this day partly because of the finger of the God of Light, and secondly because she turned into a cat. Through various coincidences, she gained a longer lifespan.
A long life will definitely come with a price, and being a cat for a hundred years is the price Pu'er pays;
So, who is that?
And... grave sweeping?
That cat is probably still drinking coffee in his apartment, and now someone is preparing to visit its grave.
But the problem is that there is no tomb of Pall Allen in the ancestral cemetery in Allen Manor.
"Miss, can you please reveal what kind of old friend it is?" Karen immediately explained after asking, "We need to evaluate the emotional tendencies of the Darkmoon family and Allen Manor to determine the security level."
Karen looked at Fanny and said the second half of the sentence.
Fanny nodded and said, "Yes, this is very important."
