The two fishmen communicated with each other for a long time, but Xia Duo couldn't understand what they were talking about. From a human perspective, he guessed that they might be asking about their identity or inviting them to be guests.
The proverb in his hometown that "the chicken talks to the duck" almost refers to the current situation, and this also reminded Xia Duo of the various situations that scientists in his hometown imagined might occur when humans communicate with aliens.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly became playful, took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket, and then placed five piles of gold coins in front of the two fishmen in order of "1, 2, 3".
The main reason is that when he was still on earth, there was often a saying in science fiction works that "mathematics can be used to communicate with aliens."
After placing five piles of gold coins, the eyes of the two leading murlocs widened a lot. Ula Ula talked a lot more, but Xia Duo didn't understand a word.
However, he can use mathematics to communicate.
He once again took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket, almost ten of them, and then he gently pushed the previous set of gold coins in sequence "from 1 to 5" to bring it closer to the two leading fishmen.
.
Then he pushed the remaining dozen gold coins over together, then pointed at the position behind "5" and made two random gestures.
The two fishmen really knew what they were doing. They controlled the water flow to roll up ten gold coins, counted six out of them, and then pushed the back of "5", followed by another "wow wah wah".
But it was a pity that Xia Duo still didn't understand, but he did understand the fishman's movements, and knew that 5 was followed by 6, which at least meant two things. One was that the fishman knew how to count, and the other was that the fishman was willing to communicate.
Just when Xia Duo wanted to continue trying to communicate further, the leader of one of the tribes, the fishman, suddenly stuffed a gold coin into his mouth.
The standard gold coins of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce are not pure gold, but an alloy mixed with silver. They cannot be said to be particularly hard, but they are certainly much harder than pure gold and pure silver.
Not to mention that the metal itself is stronger than bones, bones, and stones. The fishman spat out the gold coin with a "wow" sound, but the next moment he desperately grabbed it.
Even the "12345" gold coin originally used for demonstration was not spared. Seeing this, the other leading murloc was not willing to be outdone and stepped forward to snatch it.
As a result, an inexplicable farce was staged in front of Xia Duo inexplicably.
Not only the two leading murlocs, but also the remaining murlocs started to fight each other. However, the two large water elements that "surrounded" Xia Duo have not moved until now, but they just look a little dazed.
At this moment, Sha Duo seemed to remember a magic spell in his ears - "Don't hit me again~"
Regardless of whether the initial motivation for the two tribes to fight each other was to compete for territory, control the population, or there was a tacit agreement to obtain corpses for land reclamation, countless years of fighting must have created an indelible hatred.
Even if an outsider like Xia Duo is present, they can start fighting on the spot over a trivial matter!
…
Seeing that both sides suffered casualties as soon as the battle began, and two teams of murlocs emerged from the two tribal settlements below again, Xia Duo knew that his mathematical exchange was over.
"Everyone stop it!"
The mental message mixed with the shocking effect caused the two teams of fishmen who were fighting to stop immediately. At the same time, Xia Duo let go of the control of the bloodline majesty effect, and the message announced:
"This is my territory, and you will become my subjects!"
This message is not only for the two groups of murlocs that are fighting, but also for the two murloc tribes on the island below.
Psychic information can trace the past of all concepts, similar to self-contained translation software. At the same time, this "translation software" itself also contains a large amount of information, which is very suitable for communication when language barriers exist.
Of course, considering that fishmen may have relatively small brain capacity, Xia Duo did not carry too much complicated information in this message. He only briefly described the relationship between "territory", "territory people" and "lords".
relation.
It's pretty much simple messages like "I'm strong", "Listen to me", "Food and shelter are included".
…
After a period of deathly silence, two fishmen wrapped in water elements rushed out from the two tribes below.
Those with a special plane were different. The two murlocs surpassed the second group of departure almost instantly, then galloped all the way up, and finally performed an emergency stop operation in front of Xia Duo.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
Compared with other fishmen, these two fishmen are stronger, and at the same time, waves of water flow around their bodies unconsciously. Of course, Xia Duo still can't understand their words.
But it doesn't matter, with the psychic magic around, Xia Duo doesn't worry about communication issues.
"Don't resist - just communicate."
After being interrogated again, the two fishmen shook their heads repeatedly, but Xia Duo speculated that their shaking their heads might mean they agreed. After all, they had no necks, and their big heads were connected to their bodies, so they could not nod.
Spellcasting—Psychic Link!
In order to facilitate communication, it is more convenient to use a psychic link that can be maintained for a long time, rather than a trial spell that tortures the prisoner.
After the spell was completed, Xia Duo immediately sensed that two weak consciousnesses came online, and at the same time, a large amount of consciousness information was continuously radiated from those two consciousnesses.
There is no need to analyze it carefully, this part of the information is automatically divided into two parts, one is mainly about surprise and happiness, and the other is mainly about doubt and vigilance, both sides are equal.
This seems to be the attitude of fish people towards themselves.
"What questions do you want to ask?" Sha Duo asked in the spiritual link.
"Really?"
"There's a lot of food?"
"Didn't you lie to us?"
"what are you?"
"Are you powerful?"
"What's outside the world?"
…
In an instant, the psychic link was almost filled with questions from the two curious babies. Apart from the twisted phantom, this was the first time for Shado to see a creature with such weak psychic protection.
Among these questions, in addition to those related to Sha Duo, which were specifically mentioned due to the priority of consciousness communication, most of them have nothing to do with Sha Duo, including how to fight, how to eat, and even how to deal with the water element.
communicative.
Chateau discovered that psychic linking is not suitable for those creatures that do not have a subconscious mind or the boundaries between the subconscious mind and the conscious mind are not clear. Once linked to these creatures, it will be a never-ending information storm.
It may be more convenient to communicate with these creatures in the form of "torture".
Fortunately, Xia Duo is not only able to passively accept consciousness information, he can also filter the information and even prioritize it.
After eliminating a large amount of useless information, Xia Duo only answered two questions in the form of practical actions——
One is about strength. Xia Duo expelled the two large water elements that "surrounded" him back to his hometown in a flash;
The other one was about food, or survival. He directly transformed a stone into the water, took out two steamed buns from his portable space, and gently pushed them towards the two fishmen.
