Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"It's a small thing." Lu Meng stepped forward to shake hands with the mechanic. He glanced over and noticed the moisture in the young man's hair that had not yet been wiped dry, and that although it was buttoned properly, the third to last button was buttoned incorrectly. He smiled secretly in his heart, but there was no need to reveal it: "I should be the one who feels honored to be able to have the legendary Wolf come out to meet him in person."

"...Yeah, well." Wolfe was obviously not used to such an occasion, and muttered, "It's a small thing, but the things you did are not small... Please."

Lu Meng followed him into the laboratory. This place was originally intended for the chief's workplace. However, since Wolfe took over, his food, drink, housing, transportation and other daily life have also been settled in the laboratory. He hardly takes a step and rushes. It's not easy to find another place to receive guests.

Besides, Wolfe didn't really want others to know what he wanted to talk about.

It's your own territory that feels most secure.

There were normally a dazzling array of samples. Lu Meng quickly scanned them one by one, then raised his eyebrows and turned sideways to look in one direction: "What advice does this young lady have?"

It was a girl with braids, holding a thick dictionary on her chest.

Lu Meng noticed her presence, but since he entered, he noticed that the other person's eyes had been glued to him.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time we met." He smiled.

"Uh, no... I mean, yes, Mr. Anonymous." The girl's assessment was exposed, and she saluted in a panic, "I am Teacher Wolfe's disciple, my name is..."

"Rudai, why are you still here?" Wolf noticed the situation here and frowned, "Have you mastered the ancient vocabulary I asked you to memorize? Can the different meanings of the four pronunciations of a pictographic character be distinguished? ?”

"Teacher..." Lu Dai's head drooped instantly, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "Not yet."

Wolfe kept his word. Since that day he said he would check the progress of her ancient language course, he would check it to death in the following days - as the chief mechanic of the Depression Lagoon, his strict requirements are naturally not the end of the world. Ordinary university lecturers can compare.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you can train under Wolfe and then go to the machinist headquarters for further study, it will be as simple as refreshing the new village with all the customs clearance sets, just a formality.

With "fear" of the teacher, Lu Dai subconsciously looked at Lu Meng - if someone else came to visit, Wolfe had no interest at all, so she declined on behalf of the teacher.

And if Wolff was really interested in hosting him, it would either be a meeting with personal friends or a high-level negotiation within the machinist circle, and she would not be needed as an apprentice.

It's just that this unknown person... doesn't seem to belong to any of the above categories.

Yes, as a person with a silver watch card, Lu Beiyou would of course be known to the technology hunters and the station mechanics when they actually met. Wolfe and Lu Dai had confirmed each other's identity early on.

Although not necessary, Swaleland Lagoon has since verified its card.

When the display screen showed Sequence 13 and the silvery symbol, the host and onlookers could not help but feel goosebumps.

This was originally the lowest ranking in the Overwatch sequence, even being on the outside and not entering the inner ring... But what he did cannot be measured by this at all.

Even if they say that they don't value worldly achievements very much, if they reach a certain level, it will be like a mountain in front of them, and they cannot ignore it no matter how much they self-hypnotize and think highly of themselves.

On the surface, the Black Claw has taken over the Depression Lagoon, but those who know the inside story know that it is he who single-handedly controls this subversion.

Without the unknown person's intervention, no one can imagine to what extent the struggle between the two parties will unfold and what intensity it will reach. The dispatch of the prosecutor is just the last test. Once the conflict comes to the fore, it will probably be a protracted confrontation. , there is no dignity in the river of blood.

But now, one "test" ended immediately.

It's like two armies facing each other. You sent out scouts to conduct reconnaissance, but ended up directly capturing the enemy's camp. Don't win too easily.

Qin, whom Lu Beiyou killed, ranked 7th in the watch order. Even in the entire history of technology hunters, this is considered the best. Among the living watchers who can surpass him, I am afraid that only the Juggernaut and the Continent are the best. The one in the north... Although the silver card sequence is not equivalent to strength, it can be used to evaluate the impact of the death of the watcher.

For people who do these things.

How could Lu Dai not be interested.

not to mention……

"Teacher..." She looked at Wolfe and her voice became lower and lower, but she still firmly raised the book in her hand to signal him.

Wolfe was confused at first, but when he saw the dictionary held by Lu Dai, he understood. He thought for a while, and his brows widened: "That's the case."

"Mr. Lu, if you don't mind, please let my disciples listen." The mechanic said slowly, "If nothing else happens, I plan to let Lu Dai take over my mantle...Some things can only be said once. I don’t want to mention it again, it’s time to let her know clearly.”

“About the language you have.”

That lost ancient prototype.

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Rudai breathed a sigh of relief: The reason why Wolfe was so cautious did not violate his previous attitude and principles. What this pure mechanic valued was indeed not the work of an unknown person. matter, but the knowledge he has in his mind.

Although he is arrogant, he will still treat those who can really surpass him, even if it is only in a certain side field, and will ask questions... Otherwise, it would be impossible to move so fast on the road of mechanics. So far.

It's just that there are very few people who deserve to be treated like this by Wolfe.

With the accomplishments shown by the unknown person in that little poem, the mastery of ancient proverbs made Lu Dai feel like he was standing tall. Naturally, she couldn't miss the communication between him and the teacher. As a machinist's apprentice, she also had an inquisitive mind. Heart... However, Lu Dai was stunned when he heard the second half of Wolfe's words.

Although he had the acquiescence of most of the mechanics in the city, this was the first time that Wolfe mentioned publicly and in front of her that he would train himself as an heir... In this regard, Lu Dai had not yet had time to gain the teacher's attention and preference. The surprise was suppressed by the heaviness in his words.

how?

Isn't it just an academic exchange? It's like being a tutor.

For the first time, Lu Dai realized that the reason why the teacher attached so much importance to ancient proverbs and their prototypes was probably not just because they were the basis of all interpretation research, but there were also deeper reasons behind them.

So much so that Wolfe did not summon other mechanics, and even during previous meetings, he was unwilling to mention this matter.

"Of course." Lu Meng nodded towards the teacher and student, and sat down under the guidance of the other party, "It seems that you have received my letter... Mr. Wolfe is very busy academically. In order to attract your attention, he is not allowed to use Some eye-catching tricks.”

No matter how secretive the establishment of the mechanics organization is in its real history.

For those individuals who are truly working hard for the recovery of civilization and interpretation of lost technology.

Lu Meng still respects him very much.

Compared to the other forces on this continent that are vying for power, deceitfully attacking each other, the existence of such a group of people is indeed a clear stream... Of course, it can also be called a mudslide.

"No need to say so, I admire your ingenuity." Wolfe shook his head, "I won't say much more. Since you mentioned that little poem, you should be able to guess my question... …" ˆ ˆ The mechanic looked directly into the white-haired young man's eyes: "'When and where did you learn this language?'"

"'Since childhood,'" Lu Meng said frankly, "'Everyone in my hometown said so.'"

"'Don't joke with me.'"

"'Absolutely true'."

"What's 'embedded'..."

Lu Dai's eyes widened, and his gaze shifted back and forth between the teacher and the nameless man, staring at their mouth shapes while his ears were trying to identify them.

As a result, every syllable was familiar and had a sense of rhythm, but when they were connected together, she couldn't understand it.

They are communicating in ancient languages.

Moreover, it is not the ancient common language, but the ancient prototype written on the letter paper.

"This, that... uh." In the end, Wolff was defeated. He wiped his sweat, "You are indeed more skilled than me."

Lu Meng took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

Such a victory or defeat.

He has no sense of accomplishment.

But in this way, Wolfe could confirm that he indeed mastered one of the ancient primitive words, rather than simply excerpting a few words from somewhere.

However, this made the mechanic even more confused.

To be able to master this level of proficiency.

Could it be that he has really seen...

"Mr. Lu, let me confirm again." Wolfe said almost every word, "Is this really your hometown dialect?"

The so-called mother tongue.

"It's absolutely true." This time he used the common language.

Under "translation", Lu Dai also understood and looked at Lu Meng in surprise.

Wolfe frowned.

So far, the first recorded village in human history after the Second Empire is located in the Finger of Darkness in the far north of the continent, so it is also called the "First Village" by mechanics.

But that place has now been occupied by one of the overflowing and spreading painted tribes. The villagers either died at the mouths of cannibals or were forced to eat meat and transformed into the same kind.

There is not a single survivor.

Lu Beiyou's life experience is a mystery. Someone secretly investigated but there was no result. It is generally accepted that the other party made his fortune in the hub... Could it be that his hometown is still the first village that has perished?

But even in the first village, they only retained more memories of the Skeleton Empire, and used ancient common language in their daily conversations.

It has no direct relationship with the language mastered by the other party.

- He is lying.

Wolfe came to this conclusion.

However, he did not make it clear that it was normal for Lu Beiyou to hide something, but the young mechanic began to feel a little troubled.

Wolfe really wasn't very good at situations like this.

"Teacher, you invited Mr. Lu here for no other reason, but why are you so concerned about the origin of this language?" Just when the air was a little stagnant, Lu Dai spoke to break the deadlock, "It's not important. Bar."

Lu Meng looked at her with interest.

"You don't understand." Wolf thanked his disciple for rescuing him in his heart, but insisted, "Remember what I mentioned about my senior brother at the end of the world?"

Ludai nodded.

According to the teacher, it was the other party who decoded the common vocabulary and pronunciation of this prototype language from the ancient common language, and Wolfe also learned one tenth or one twelfth of it from his senior brother.

Judging from his achievements.

The other party is undoubtedly a genius no less than Wolfe.

The final outcome was that he was expelled from school and expelled from the ranks of mechanics. After leaving the end of the world, he is still unknown.

He is not known whether he is alive or dead.

In the past, Lu Dai was very curious, but she never dared to bring it up because she could read the teacher's attitude.

"His name is Servante, the most talented person I have ever met." Wolfe admitted this rarely, "Have you heard of him, Mr. Lu?"

"No."

"But have you heard of his other name, which he gave himself after interpreting the results. It is one of the many names representing ancient researchers..." Wolfe insisted:

"It's called 'scholar'."

"Mr. Lu, Lu Dai... This is the first time I tell others that this kind of text is not as simple as a lost language." The mechanic took out the letter that Lu Meng had written before, spread it out solemnly, and pointed to the handwriting on it: "Based on my senior brother's research results, it is very likely that the ancient civilization gave the skeletons a high level of intelligence and emotional logic... the underlying language."
