Chapter 15 The Real Way to Learn Ancient Languages
After saying goodbye to Ailan who was in deep thought, Shalan returned to the classroom. Since she had promised Ailan not to cause trouble for that person, Shalan simply decided not to find out who that person was.
This time he gave Ailan face and did not pursue the matter. Ailan also told Shalan about the friendship between the Mansmei Language System and the Howard Library. If there is a next time, Shalan will not show mercy. Repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge is Shalan's code of conduct.
At the end of a noisy day, Shallan said goodbye to Duro and once again rejected the invitation of the second generation to go out and have fun. She got in the car and went to Howard Library again. She showed her library card and paid a silver coin as a library management fee before Shallan could enter the library.
The Howard Library was as quiet as ever. I walked to the bookshelf I had been to last night with my backpack on my back. Following Iwen's instructions, I searched for a long time and finally found the two books Iwen mentioned: "Manse Language and History" and "Manse Language System and Modern Common Language".
After finding a seat with the two books, Shalan opened her notebook again, picked up a pen, opened the book "Manse Language System and Modern Common Language", and began to study the Manse language system again.
However, as she continued to read the book, Shalan's brows gradually furrowed. She stopped writing, thought for a while, put aside the book "Mansmei Language System and Modern Common Language", picked up the book "Mansmei Language and History" and continued to read. However, when she had read less than one-tenth of it, Shalan's brows furrowed even deeper.
"What's going on? The interpretations of the Mansmei language system in these two books are very different from those in the mainstream books I read yesterday. Some of them are even completely contradictory. Could it be that the things recorded in these two books are wrong? It doesn't make sense."
Thinking of this, Shalan stood up again and went to the bookshelf to find a few books she had read yesterday and compared them with the two books. After comparing the two, two completely different interpretations of the Mansmei language system appeared in front of Shalan. Sixty to seventy percent of the two interpretations are the same, but the rest are completely different.
After thinking for a while, Shalan picked up the pen again and recorded the different points of the two interpretation directions in her notebook. Then she temporarily separated these different points and turned to study the completely identical places first. After learning the similarities of the two interpretation directions, she went back to study the different places.
Originally, Shalan learned the Mansme language system in order to figure out what the Mansme language on the piece of paper and the stone meant. As long as she interpreted it by comparing it with the Mansme language on the piece of paper and the stone, even if she got two different results in the end, Shalan could completely judge the truth based on the actual situation.
After all, the Mansmei language on the paper and the stone must be something like a curse. In short, it is meant to harm him, and it certainly cannot be some words of blessing. Naturally, one can judge the truth from this angle.
"These ancient languages have almost no complete and correct inheritance, so the interpretation of these ancient languages is basically based on the interpretation of modern scholars using a large amount of historical data. There are errors and absurdities to a certain extent. Different interpretation directions naturally have different results. If you want to truly understand them, you must learn all the interpretation directions to truly understand the true appearance of the ancient languages hidden in them."
He immersed himself in studying again. With the help of his powerful learning ability, Shallan learned Mans English at a speed ten times faster than that of an ordinary person.
At this time, not far from Shalan, Yiwen looked at Shalan who was writing notes and reading a book with her head down, with a smile on her face, and whispered: "Finally, you have found a normal way to learn ancient languages. There are not many people like you who devote themselves to language learning these days. I hope you can stick to it."
She turned around and sat on the floor, leaning her back against the bookshelf, and picked up a black-covered third-rate chivalry novel called "The Epic of Roma" and began to read it. Yiwen read it very attentively, and it didn't seem like she was reading a third-rate chivalry novel at all. Instead, it felt like she was reading some precious book that expounded profound knowledge.
As the sun set, the fiery sunlight shone into the library from the window. Shalan woke up from studying, pinched his nose, looked at the sky outside, then packed up his things and prepared to go out to find something to eat.
Just as Shalan packed up her things and prepared to leave, she saw Yiwen sitting on the ground not far away, leaning against the bookshelf reading a book. At this time, the light of the setting sun shone on Yiwen's body, giving her a layer of gold, making it difficult for Shalan to take her eyes away.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, Shalan suddenly woke up. He reached out and touched his nose, unable to understand why he was so obsessed with Yiwen after having experienced so many women in his previous life.
After thinking for a while, Shalan took a deep breath, walked to Yiwen's side, and said softly: "Yiwen, I'm going to find something to eat, do you... do you want to come with me?"
Looking up at Shalan, Yiwen showed a sly smile on her face and said, "If you want to pursue me, treating me to a meal won't work."
Scratching his head, Shalan felt awkward for some reason. For the first time, he suddenly felt that he didn't know how to answer. If he wanted to talk about pursuit, Shalan felt that he was not at that level yet, but if he wanted to say that it was not pursuit at all, Shalan couldn't convince himself.
Just when Shalan didn't know how to answer, Yiwen burst out laughing and said to Shalan: "Okay, give me a reason, a legitimate reason, and I will go to dinner with you."
"Well, okay, thank you so much for helping me. Is this an okay reason?"
Yiwen raised her slender and heroic eyebrows slightly, looked at Shalan, and said with a smile: "Helped you? What did I help you with? Just saying it casually doesn't count."
"Of course you helped me deliberately by letting me see another direction of the Mansmei language system, so as to prevent me from leaning towards one direction of interpretation."
"You actually discovered it?"
Shalan shrugged, tilted her head, and said, "I'm not stupid, I can tell the difference naturally."
"Being cute doesn't win you any points."
"So, do you want to have dinner together?"
"Then let's eat together."
Reaching out to close the book, Yiwen held the book in her hand and walked out of the library shoulder to shoulder with Shalan.
