Chapter 1391 Ask for details, northern accent

   After briefly greeting the four of them, Xia Duo went straight to the point, "You must have guessed that there is no further training class, but if your answers can satisfy me, then the training class is not a problem.

"

 “Xia Duo, what do you want to ask?”

“President, is it because of that elf?”

“After much deliberation here, we found one thing that the four of us have in common, that is, we have just returned from Savile Town, and we have all had contact with that elf.”

   …”

A few people guessed what Sha Duo wanted to ask in just a few words. Sha Duo nodded and admitted, "It's because of that elf. Tell me how you met her. Colin, let's start with you!"

"good."

Colin responded, but did not start speaking directly. Instead, he pondered for a moment, seeming to be recalling the scene at that time, and then began to tell the story from the beginning:

“I went to Savile Town after accepting a mission to go to the military camp for training. After completing the mission, I went to my home to check it out. There was no delay, and I immediately prepared to return to the Tower of Time.

“But when I passed the central square, I met the elf. She took the initiative to greet me. After all, she was an elf. I may have been a little confused at the time. I just said whatever the other person asked.

“She mainly asked two questions, one about the Saville Territory and the other about the Tower of Time, but they were all questions that were easy to find out, so I didn’t pay much attention to them at the time.

“It wasn’t until I returned to the Tower of Time and was told to attend a refresher class, but no one came to contact us in this room, that I realized there might be something wrong with my elf.”

After Colin finished speaking, there was a look of regret on his face. Seeing this, Shado signaled the other three people to start. One of them, a new mage named "Jace", took the lead:

“Colin and I were in a somewhat similar situation. We also met the elf in the central square. The elf claimed to be a friend of the leader of the Oripus clan of the Silverleaf family. I believed her, but I didn’t completely believe her.

“She also asked questions about the Saville Territory and the Tower of Time. Because they were information that could be easily obtained, I answered them.

“However, when the other party asked about the internal system of the Tower of Time, I did not mention the current system, but used the system before the Tower of Time to deal with it.”

Having said this, Jess showed an "I'm very smart" expression, but after thinking about it, others might not be the same as him. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Before others could talk about their experiences, he asked Xia Duo a question.

:

“President, who is that elf? What’s wrong with her?”

“She is one of my partners. Of course there are problems, but they are still in the speculation stage, so you don’t have to feel any psychological burden.”

“It scared me to death. I thought I had accidentally become someone else’s spy!” Jess said, patting his chest with fear on his face.

Shado did not comment on this. He knew that with the strength of the Toph investigator, he could obtain enough information without having any direct contact with Jace and others.

 The reason why he acted so exaggeratedly may also be to remind him.

However, if you should ask, you should continue to ask. You may be able to discover some details that have been ignored by the other party!

 …

 Next, the other two people also told the whole story of their meeting with Toph. Like Colin and Jess, they were stopped by Toph in the central square of Savile Town.

 More precisely, it is in the northwest corner of the central square.

That is the only place to go to the old site of the Tower of Time. The current small semi-permanent portal connecting the Tower of Time to Savile Town is open next to the old site of the Tower of Time.

"By the way, Jace, you must have just come into contact with the Elvish language not long ago. How did the Elf communicate with you? Did he use psychic spells or Netherese language?"

 “It’s Nese language! And it seems to have a strong northern accent!”

Jace seemed to have thought of something and deliberately imitated Tove's accent. Shado had been in Severton recently and was no stranger to the Severington accent.

Especially some of the tones that were deliberately changed to fit the Elvish vocabulary were particularly obvious to the ears of Shado, an Elvish expert.

At this moment, he even had a guess beyond the topic - was the accent change in Severton caused by the elves?

 Coupled with the fact that some people deliberately imitated it, it quickly became popular.

  The southern side seems to be closer to the Elf Kingdom, but in fact there are fewer opportunities to contact the elves. In the past two years, the Silverleaf family has moved to Savile Town, which has made the elves here less rare.

That Toph not only took the initiative to talk to humans, but also spoke Nese language, which really broke Shado's usual impression of elves.

 Speaking of which, Shado seems to have never heard any elf speak Nese language!

Even Oripus of the Silverleaf family spoke Elvish when communicating with him. It wasn't that Oripus couldn't speak Nese, but Shado never thought that the other party could speak it.

Nese language.

 This is just like when you meet a foreigner in Xia Duo's hometown, you will always communicate with him or her in a foreign language subconsciously, as if you have subconsciously determined that the other person cannot speak Chinese.

 That "won't", is it "can not" or "don''t want to"?

 Is this arrogance? Or is it inferiority complex?

With his thoughts flowing, Xia Duo was a little reluctant to face this problem, but at present, elves are indeed better than humans in many places, and even the elven language itself is obviously better than Nese language, so it doesn't matter what you say.

As the saying goes, "Learn from the barbarians and develop skills to control the barbarians." When you become stronger in the future, it will be the elves' turn to take the initiative to speak human languages.

 Now it is obvious that human beings have not reached that level, so Toph's behavior seems particularly suspicious.

With this in mind, Shado asked some key questions one after another, and Colin, Jess and others also answered them one by one. Finally, Shado proposed that he wanted to recreate the scene at that time.

“Xia Duo, what are you going to do? How do you need our cooperation?”

“It’s very simple, you just need to keep recalling the scene when you were in contact with that elf while I was casting the spell.”

Cha Duo said it is simple, but in fact it is not easy. Mental magic is easily interfered by subjective will, especially those who have some knowledge of mental magic can make targeted misdirection.

Of course, he can also go to the central square of Savile Town to look back on the past history of that area, but Toph is a powerful mage after all, so he may end up looking back alone.

In addition, another thing is that you may meet Toph in the central square.

Even if you don't encounter them, the other party may still pay attention to this place. Otherwise, how could the members of the Tower of Time pass by and be found.

 One can be considered a coincidence, but if everyone is like that, then it is not a coincidence.

 In any case, looking at the memories of Colin and others first can serve as a reference.
