T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Monsters are hunting him?

That probably won't taste very good. The flesh of a puppet body... wait, does a puppet body even have any texture?

Nuna, who was also a magician, understood what Jiang Heyi meant.

"You want to make money with your knowledge, right?"

“I happen to know a merchant from Xiangfeng City who has collected a batch of books from another continent and is looking for a suitable translator.”

With connections, there are opportunities.

Led by Nuna, he saw a traveling merchant with dozens of monsters acting as pack animals on the edge of the planned trading district in Hersal City.

The four men, Narian, were quite well-known locally and could be considered to have the "fruit of face."

Upon hearing Nuna's description, the merchant captain, a shrewd and capable man with a buzz cut, appeared before Jiang Heyi.

He scrutinized her from head to toe with his deep blue eyes.

"Nuna said you speak Arguna?"

"They also speak the languages ​​of the continents of Devilan and Korhalu."

A ripple appeared on the calm face of the merchant captain.

"So, you're fluent in three languages?"

Jiang Heyi retorted, "You don't believe me?"

The merchant captain hesitated, then turned and went to the pack animal, taking out a box.

As he opened it, he said, "It's not that I don't believe it, Mr. Potato, you should know how young you are, shouldn't you?"

"For an average young person to be able to understand a language from another continent at this age is already quite remarkable."

"Even many old scholars who have devoted their lives to studying the classics may not be able to fully understand the languages ​​of the three continents and translate them smoothly and without errors."

“But you claim to be ‘proficient’.”

The merchant captain leisurely waved the yellowed book in his hand, as well as the two unsealed scrolls.

"Go and call Bonnie over."

A short while later, a female forest spirit with light green hair and bright gold eyes arrived at the scene.

Perhaps due to her long-term interaction with books, she appeared elegant and dignified as she held the scroll.

The merchant captain explained, "Bonnie fled from the Devland region 100 years ago and eventually arrived in Anna after many twists and turns."

"She is fluent in all the local ethnic dialects of Devland and is familiar with slang and jargon."

"Since Mr. Potato wants to make this money and claims to be 'proficient' in it, would you mind if I verified it?"

As he spoke, the merchant captain looked at Nuna.

"It's not that I don't trust Miss Nuna, but rather out of respect for the written word. I hope you can understand."

"If Mr. Potato has indeed demonstrated the ability to match, I will certainly offer him a sufficient reward."

Whether or not there is compensation, let's put that aside for now.

Ever since hearing that Bonnie came from Devland, Jiang Heyi's gaze has been completely fixed on this forest spirit.

100 years ago was the time when the Eternal Night Cult grew stronger and began its magical clash with the Clarity Cult.

Jiang Heyi asked curiously in Devland, "Which do you support, the Temple of the Clarities or the Cult of Eternal Night?"

Bonnie's body trembled as if she had been electrocuted.

After so many years, hearing authentic "native accents" on a foreign continent is simply unbelievable.

It wasn't until Jiang Heyi repeated it a second time that Bonnie answered excitedly, her voice trembling.

"The clear-minded will always be the clear-minded!"

The merchant captain was ready to put Bonnie to the test; he had brought out books and scrolls.

Suddenly, Bonnie's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked like a fellow countrywoman meeting another, unable to resist stepping forward and grasping the hand of the person she was testing.

The two of them continued talking in a language that no one present could understand, getting more and more excited as they spoke...

The person being tested is fine, but why is Bonnie crying even louder?

Once she had calmed down a bit, the merchant captain swallowed hard and asked in a low voice.

“Bonnie, he…”

"It was very, very authentic Devilan, with an impeccable accent, and he could even speak several Devilan slang terms."

"But he's so young."

"I can't believe it either, but it's absolutely true."

The merchant captain subconsciously rubbed the corners of his eyebrows.

He then summoned an elderly man who was somewhat fluent in Kohlharu.

After only a short conversation, the old man blushed with shame.

"His pronunciation and grammar are very proficient, even better than mine."

The merchant captain was already numb.

Are there really people in this world who are fluent in three languages ​​from different continents by the age of seventeen or eighteen?

No, how could that be?

From the day he was born, he was immersed in the books of another continent and was educated by scholars from that continent in turn.

Even with exceptional language skills, one cannot gain admission to the Empire's five prestigious universities.

In other words, the person in front of you is not only outstanding in the linguistic school, but also has made achievements in other magical schools.

"Please forgive my offense, but your talent is truly... terrifying. I have never seen anyone who is fluent in three languages ​​before."

"Perhaps it exists in the Mage Tower, but given Mr. Potato's age... please forgive my abruptness, I am willing to pay double the reward as an apology."

The merchant captain, who was usually shrewd in business, was at a loss for words at this moment.

Seeing that Jiang Heyi did not respond, he immediately changed his tune.

"Triple the reward!"

Jiang Heyi laughed and said, "You only mentioned the multiplier, but I don't know what the base reward is. Three times 0 is still 0."

The merchant captain quickly explained, "Our translation is determined by the content being translated and the language family."

"The most expensive ones are the language families you translate the least, right? Which one?"

"Korhalu".

"Then I'll choose this one."

"Given that Your Excellency Potato's abilities far exceed my expectations, I am willing to grant you a basic translation fee of one Lion King Silver Coin per day."

The merchant captain had completely come to his senses.

In an ordinary family environment, there is simply no way to access books and documents from three different continents.

Only through immersion from childhood can one cultivate the extraordinary talent we see today.

What kind of family background must they have to stuff so much knowledge into each other's heads to produce such fruitful results?

Although onboarding tests are a reasonable part of the process, the temperament of a privileged young man from a magical family is hard to predict.

It would be perfectly reasonable for him to adopt the same attitude he used with hiring staff, but if the young master in front of him felt that he was speaking ill of him...

Nuna was also stunned; her eyes were filled with awe as she looked at Jiang Heyi.

It turns out that the young student who had dinner with them last night and traveled with them was not only a language genius, but also had the support of an entire magical family.

No wonder he's fearless.

Jiang Heyi was very satisfied with the result.

Before time travel, everyone frantically crammed knowledge into their minds according to their own needs.

Languages ​​were not his strong suit, but thinking about the various unexpected situations he might encounter after landing, he adopted a "fuck it all" attitude and memorized everything by rote.

The effect is remarkable.

Learning a foreign language is really useful.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heyi couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"I don't know how others managed in the early stages, but my foreign language approach was very successful."

Chapter 562 A Squid Falling from the Sky

The books from other continents that the merchants brought back from maritime trade were mostly unrelated to magic, and were mostly about geography, culture, miscellaneous notes and observations, interspersed with some popular novels from other continents.

Jiang Heyi was pleased to see this.

These kinds of books had a very limited impact on the continent of Anna.

The merchant team leader also frankly stated that his upstream channels generally consist of two types of people.

The first type consists of aristocratic sons in various city-states who are dabbling in refined tastes and pursuing highbrow art that is accessible to only a select few.

They will most likely never have any contact with other continents in their lives, but being able to read obscure books, maintain a nonchalant air of sophistication in ordinary life, and enjoy the praise of those around them and the admiring glances of the opposite sex is enough to make their money's worth.

At the same time, this also serves to deceive and constantly remind their ambitious elders at home.

The second type is scholars who are passionate about collecting and researching.

They have a high demand for translated books from other continents, and most people accept any translation they receive.

Language specialists aren't particularly scarce, but the more outstanding a magician is, the less likely they are to focus on the tedious pursuit of linguistic improvement, since the pursuit of power is the mainstream.

The merchant captain suggested ingratiatingly that Jiang Heyi's name be listed in larger letters in the translated books.

Jiang Heyi wanted to refuse...

"Is it okay if my signature is a symbol?"

"As long as it can serve as a symbol of your identity, of course."

At this moment, the merchant captain had no idea how strange the signature Jiang Heyi had given him was.

Faced with four square "symbols", he looked completely bewildered.

"It's written in the same script from another continent, but it's my nickname, so it's very recognizable."

The merchant captain, without suspicion, made the arrangements decisively.

Having witnessed firsthand the translation efficiency of this erudite genius from the Imperial Academy during this period, he felt no doubt whatsoever.

Korhalu's language was obscure and difficult to understand. He searched for a long time and only found a few folk masters who were half the level of the Imperial Mage Tower.

But these people were only fit to write down Jiang Heyi's dictation and serve as scribes.

Jiang Heyi only needed to pick up a local book from Korhalu, browse it carefully twice, and after a little time to think it over, he would have a plan in mind.

A rough translation on the first try can be corrected to a level of accuracy, fluency, and elegance on the second try.

The several Korhalu translators were amazed and full of admiration.

Unable to witness the high-ranking mages of the Mage Tower, they experienced firsthand the strength of the "Mage Tower Reserve" during this sweltering summer.

They even felt that being paid only one Lion King silver coin per day on top of the basic translation fee was a form of exploitation.

Isn't this bullying students?!

The merchant captain also felt that the treatment should not be based on the standards for contract employees.

Upon learning that Jiang Heyi frequented the most expensive pub in town, he hurriedly prepaid a month's fee to show his sincerity.

Bonnie became Jiang Heyi's assistant, and the translation of the Devland documents she was in charge of was handed over to others.

The merchant captain readily agreed to the request, and even seemed somewhat envious of Bonnie's extraordinary adventure.

During this time, Bonnie used the opportunity of speaking Dhiveran to communicate closely with the other party.

It seems they've capitalized on the other party's curiosity about Devland?

In just a few days, Bonnie had become his follower.
