Chapter 1116 Forthwaite from the Kingdom of Bernakis
After dawn, Chai Yan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a knock on the door.
"My lord, my lord, are you awake?" came Guan Maochun's voice.
Chai Yan sat up, rubbed his eyes, and responded: "I heard it, I heard it, stop screaming..."
It was indeed quiet outside the door.
Chai Yan got out of bed sleepily, put on his clothes, pulled on his shoes, walked to the door, opened the door, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Guan Maochun said: "Sir, that blond-haired foreigner is awake!"
"Just wake up, why are you in such a hurry? Ah -" Chai Yan said and yawned again.
Guan Maochun said hurriedly: "No, sir, we couldn't understand what the foreigner said after he woke up, so eldest brother and Captain Du asked me to invite you to come over and have a look..."
"Don't you understand?" Chai Yan struggled to explain: "It's strange, when we were rescuing people last night, he clearly shouted 'help'!"
Guan Maochun hurriedly corrected him: "Ah, sir, I didn't make it clear. The foreigner babbled for a long time. There were only a few words in it that we could understand, such as water, fire, eating, latrines...
..We don’t understand the rest…”
Chai Yan became curious after hearing this, thinking that he didn't know which language the foreigner spoke.
"Wait, I'm going to get dressed right now." Chai Yan said and went back to the house.
After a while, Chai Yan was dressed neatly and followed Guan Maochun to a cabin at the stern of the ship.
At this time, the outside of the cabin was already crowded with people. Everyone craned their necks to look inside the cabin, chatting and laughing from time to time.
"Everyone, please give way. Your Excellency is here." Guan Maochun immediately stepped forward to drive him away.
When a group of people at the door saw Chai Yan coming, they all immediately became respectful, and the laughter and laughter immediately stopped.
Chai Yan frowned and waved his hands, saying: "Go and do your own business, don't stand around watching the fun."
"Whoop!" and everyone ran away.
As soon as Chai Yan walked into the cabin, he saw the blond foreigner at first sight. At this time, he had changed into gray clothes and was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his forehead with both hands and shaking it. His face looked very depressed and peaceful.
distressed.
In the cabin, Ge Hong, Cheng Jiu, Du Shipguan and Hang Baiqiu were all there.
Ge Hong and Captain Du stood aside, seemingly chatting about something. Cheng Jiu and Hang Baiqiu stood in front of the foreigner on the left and right, asking him questions...
"May I have your name?"
"Where are you from?"
"Why did your ship catch fire?"
"How many people are there on your ship?"
Such issues are all related to fires on civilian ships.
Chai Yan immediately saw that the foreigner was unable to communicate with the two of them, so he was extremely painful and depressed at this time.
Perhaps it was because the foreigner never said a word after asking him many times, Cheng Jiu became a little angry, pushed the foreigner impatiently, and said loudly: "I'm asking you, please speak quickly!"
"Hi! Don't touch me!"
The blond foreigner suddenly stood up and shouted at Cheng Jiu who was pushing him.
Chai Yan immediately recognized that this guy spoke English, so that would be easy!
Although the blond foreigner was half a head taller than Cheng Jiu when he stood up, Cheng Jiu was not afraid of him at all. He opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Hey! We saved your life, how dare you be so cruel?"
Saying that, Cheng Jiu grabbed the blond foreigner by the collar.
The blond foreigner didn't show any weakness. He raised his hand and grabbed Cheng Jiu's wrist, trying to twist it away.
But the next moment, the blond foreigner was shocked, because he couldn't twist Cheng Jiu's hand at all. There was a very obvious gap in strength between the two!
"Stop! Stop!"
Chai Yan's voice suddenly appeared.
"Sir!" "Sir Chai!"
Ge Hong and Captain Du immediately stood up straight and saluted Chai Yan together.
Probably hearing the familiar native language, the blond foreigner immediately turned his head in surprise and stared at Chai Yan's face.
Cheng Jiu did not let go, but said angrily: "Sir, you came at the right time. This blond old man is a ungrateful man. We saved his life, but we only asked a few more questions, and he was impatient."
Got it!"
"Cheng Jiu, let him go first and I'll talk to him," Chai Yan said calmly.
Cheng Jiudao: "But sir, no one understands what this guy is saying."
Before Chai Yan could reply, the blond foreigner asked urgently: "ye?"
Cheng Jiu immediately said: "Here, sir, listen, what are you talking about? It's so gibbering that the bull's lips are not the horse's mouth..."
Chai Yan nodded and said: "Yes, I!"
"Oh, great! Tha!" The blond foreigner was immediately very happy. After so long, he finally had someone who could communicate with him.
Hang Baiqiu looked surprised at this time. He looked at Chai Yan in surprise and asked, "You... can you speak their words?"
"Not much, just a little..." Chai Yan said modestly.
In fact, Chai Yan's English before time travel was quite good, and there was absolutely no problem in daily communication.
Not only Hang Baiqiu was surprised, but everyone else present was also stunned.
Cheng Jiu immediately let go of the blond foreigner's clothes, walked to Chai Yan, and asked curiously: "Sir, what did you just say to him?"
Chai Yan explained patiently: "He just asked me if I could speak their language, and I replied, I can! Then he was very happy and said thank God, it's great."
Chai Yan deliberately did not use the word "God" to translate it, because he knew that no one would understand it after he said it, and he would have to waste time and money to explain it, which would be too tiring.
Hang Baiqiu was very curious and asked: "Chai Yan, how do you know how to speak their language? Where did you learn it?"
Chai Yan quickly thought about it and replied with a smile: "Oh, when I was a child, I traveled around the world with my master. I once met a foreigner who said this kind of thing, so I learned some from that person. As you know, I learned it when I was young.
Things are very fast, especially language, you can do it too..."
"So that's it." Hang Baiqiu was immediately relieved.
Ge Hong, Cheng Jiu, Guan Maochun and Du Chuanguan all nodded in admiration after hearing this.
"Are you the biggest official here?" the blond foreigner suddenly asked.
Except for the word "官", the rest of this sentence is in English.
"Yes." After Chai Yan answered, he added, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
Chai Yan spoke everything in English, and the only blond foreigner in the room could understand him.
When Chai Yan saw others looking at him in confusion, he immediately translated the meaning to everyone.
Next, Chai Yan asked in English: "What is your name? Which country are you from?"
The blond foreigner put his hand on his chest and replied: "My name is Forthvitt, and I am a native of Bernakis!"
"The country of Bernakis?"
Chai Yan's brows wrinkled involuntarily. In his memory, such a country did not exist.
"Where is the country of Bernakis?" Chai Yan couldn't help but ask.
Forthwaite replied: "Bernakis is very far in the west. It took me almost two years to get to you by boat from there..."
Following these words, Forthvitt actually talked about his journey from the country of Bernakis to the country of Sheng. During this period, many place names and words that Chaiyan had never heard of came up, as well as many simple Chinese words.
, even though he had doubts, Chai Yan still understood the whole meaning, that is, his experience was very tortuous and difficult.
After communicating for a while, Chai Yan was too lazy to wonder where in the world the geographical location of the country of Bernakis was. Anyway, it was an English-speaking country. In short, it was very, very, very far away from Shengguo!
