Swifts are a kind of bird. They have a wide range of species on earth and can migrate long distances across continents. Their biggest feature is that most of their activities can be completed in the air, such as drinking, bathing, and mating. They rarely inhabit and mostly only stay on rocks.
Stay on the wall or cave wall.
Because of this habit of almost never landing on the ground, it was also called "legless bird" by the ancients. This is also the original meaning of the word apus. What the blue dragon really wants to describe is probably this old name.
Yang Ming did not stop washing the dishes in his hands and said meaningfully:
"I think the main reason why you chose this name is because the word can be understood as 'footless bird'. Is that correct?"
The original words have been spoken out deliberately. If Blue Dragon did not want people to know the symbolic intention, it would be impossible. It is just how he interprets it deep down that needs to be confirmed again.
Maybe it's the longing for being no longer in your hometown and having been wandering away for many years, or the sigh that you can't help but drift with the wind, or the desire to break free from the prison and fly freely in the world?
"That's right, that's what it means. It seems that you still understand it very well. Although you haven't learned the language in the past, you have a good grasp of the knowledge."
She replied very happily,
"How about it, legless bird, isn't that a cool statement? Haha."
Blue Dragon does not contain any negative emotions at all. In other words, Yang Ming's guesses were all wrong. She just named it this way because she found it interesting.
However, people's inner world is a very complex system, and we cannot make any conclusions based on superficial reactions. However, there is no need to dwell on right or wrong at this stage. Yang Ming said with certainty:
"It's really cool. If you choose this name, I will always call you that."
"Yeah, it's settled like this, and it won't change again."
"Okay, then, I will also formally introduce myself. My name is Yang Ming, Epps. From now on, let's read all the books in the world together."
In fact, Yang Ming himself had never introduced her name to her in this way, so he took this opportunity to address each other by name to increase the relationship.
"Oh, so your name is Yang Ming, I remembered it."
Epps suddenly took a few steps back and stood in the middle of the kitchen. The surrounding environment was relatively empty and there was a lot of room for movement. She just turned around a few times and said with a smile,
"Epps, Epps, haha, I have a name too!"
This matter seems to be very important to Blue Dragon. The reason why she was so entangled in the past is that unlike Natland and Lumio, who took a transliteration code early, she must have cherished it very deep in her heart, at least for contact with the outside world.
Very hopeful.
After all, the main function of address is as a means of social interaction. Now that the wish has been successfully realized, it can be regarded as using the given event as an opportunity to greatly improve the goodwill.
After clearing away and washing the dishes, dinner time has officially ended. The level of technology in this world is very subtle. Although there is electricity that is suspected to be generated by magic, there are also many electrical appliances that can be driven.
However, the style of the light bulb is very old, and the brightness can only be said to be enough for lighting. However, reading paper books still requires higher ambient light to have a better experience. Considering that you can stay in the accelerated mental space for a long time, Yang Ming
I felt that there was no need to fight so hard, so I said:
"Let's digest it a little bit today, then get ready to go to bed and rest, and then focus on reading and running this store tomorrow."
In addition to reading books, there is also the task of renting out books. Although it is not clear how Epps will operate those simulated humans, it is still a commercial activity and requires sufficient energy to be able to control it.
And she is very keen on simulating real effects, so after Yang Ming read continuously for a whole day, he obviously felt a little tired, and the abilities contained in his body seemed to be in a banned state. Compared with the Magic Continent,
The dreamland is even worse.
In other words, now that Yang Ming is the closest to ordinary people so far, Blue Dragon has unlimited modification and creation authority in this world. It is naturally not difficult to limit it to this level.
"Okay, let's go to bed early today and get up early tomorrow~"
After that, Epps took Yang Ming and continued to visit the entire building. All living and working areas were thoroughly cleared. The two of them went to wash up first, and then walked to the door of a room together.
"Ah this..."
Looking at her awkwardly, the swaying and flickering light reflected on Epps, who had just finished bathing and was wearing pajamas. He looked steaming. Yang Ming continued to ask,
"This house has multiple bathrooms and washrooms, and the kitchen is quite large, but why is there only one bedroom designed?"
She replied without changing her face:
"Because, I like bigger rooms."
Her statement seems to make sense, because the remaining space is used to design the bedroom, which can indeed make the internal space very large.
Considering that dragons, especially ancestor-level dragons like Epps, are actually giant aliens, it seems normal to like wide spaces.
"Then where should I sleep?"
"Together."
"This...this isn't appropriate."
Yang Ming looked troubled. Although the human form of Blue Dragon does not have many reference objects, as the ancestor of magic and his team are immortal and extraordinary beings, it is very simple to optimize the appearance and body characteristics to the extreme.
Therefore, at this time, Epps, as a woman, still has some qualities that make people feel excited. If they are in the same room without being emotionally intimate, it will inevitably lead to embarrassment.
"Is there anything inappropriate?"
Epps smiled ghostly and said,
"Ah, what are you thinking about? It's not something erotic..."
Just when she suddenly came closer and wanted to stand on tiptoes and whisper into Yang Ming's ear, Yang Ming pushed her away, looked forward motionlessly without making eye contact with her, and said:
"That's not true. It's just that living in a closed space for a long time will inevitably lead to a lot of conflicts in habits, such as where to put your own supplies, how to plan your activities, how to allocate and clean sanitation, etc.
All issues need to be discussed carefully.”
Faced with Yang Ming's actions, Epps was a little at a loss. She could only say with a strange expression:
"Oh, really, I know, let's talk about these little things first, come in."
Although I don't know whether deliberately maintaining this image can improve her favorability to a certain extent, but in the final analysis, the purpose of Yang Ming's trip is to find a helper for himself, preferably at a level where the master-slave relationship can be clearly understood.
