Chapter 1582: Do You Feel Lucky?
~Flip. Flip. Flip
Artemis flipped through the magazine with childlike wonder.
Oh! What was this?
A... Chiy-----ain?
Did he say it right?
You have to know that he was only 50~60% proficient in the language. He thought this was Viet. But since Pyron and Viet were similar, he glided through with moderate difficulty v
After all, he was just at the intermediate level. Simple words he understood and could piece out. But when someone starts being in heavy jargon and terms, that would leave him scratching his head.
His accent when saying these words was also a little hilarious. But so what?
As they say, if you have an accent when communicating with someone, it only means you are bilingual or multilingual.
So it shouldn't be them laughing, but you... Laughing at those who only know one language in these devilish times.
... I mean... Are you crazy?
Over 98% of the world knew at least 2 languages. Meeting people who only spoke one was indeed weird.
How do people learn and get aware of these different languages?
It's also because of the merchants, foreigners, travelers, as well as several situational gatherings like auctions that sell great pieces from the neighboring continents.
Those at the many ports and docks, sailors, crew members, porters, and whatnot, were the most fluent people one could find.
Even within the empires, parties, social events, and many gatherings occur, introducing influential wealthy foreigners from other regions.
People often learned the language to communicate with these people and reach a deal/settlement. Women were not exempt from this as sometimes, many a time, they had to marry out into another empire for political reasons.
Language wasn't taken as a high-tier subject like painting because anyone could easily pick up a language here.
This was why it was allowed for women to study it, as they too studied poetry, dance, and so on. Bonus points to women who could sing in another language.
To wealthy women, especially those marrying out, knowing the language could save their necks.
It was essential they didnt do anything to offend the people they were to marry. So they had to learn the language and know the rules.
It was funny to say that peasants didn't go to school for this.
But because they had to deal with all sorts of foreigners in the marketplace and all around, they also became proficient to a certain extent.
"Fish! Fish! You want to buy fish?"
"Yes! Yes! Give me 5! How much?"
... Peasants learn the basic words to keep a simple conversation flowing.
That is, how can you know just 1 language?
Are you sure you're alright?
People would take one as extremely lazy if they knew 1 language and nothing more.
F***! There are people with 7 professions, from sculpting to painting, astrology, and so on.
Language was but nothing. And yet, you can't even do it?
Even peasants who couldn't write could at least speak orally to a certain degree. So what about you?
Shame!
People in this world felt there was no excuse for it.
.
"Subway Chiy-ain."
***Translation, Subway train.
What was it?
Artemis' heart fluttered, seeing the image of the train with a large part of its body underneath a tunnel.
Ahhh!!~
It looks so cool!
He wants to try it out!
He had never seen metal so smooth, so curved nicely at the front (bullet-train style), with glowing eyes that called out to him.
"Chiyack... They call this a Chiyack (track)."
"Your highness, let's see! Let's see too!"
Everyone crowded over, wanting to see the images again.
You have to know that before, they had been holding on due to temptation, taking the magazine as a secret and godly document that should first be opened by his highness.
When they first received it, a part of them wanted to shake the slumbering Artemis, smacking him in the cheek left and right severally until he was eventually awakened.
It would've gone something like this:
"Your highness, please wake up!"
Pah. Pah. Pah~
(X_X) [the slumbering Artemis, being slapped on both cheeks.]
The group didn't know how they held back. It felt like they had an itch on their throat that wouldn't go away no matter how much they coughed.
Who understands this feeling? It was the worst!
.
"What? They have buildings made of glass? How rich are they?"
"Look! Look! Look here! It tells of their monarch! His majesty Langon Barn?"
***Of course they meant to say Langon Barn. But anyone hearing them would understand what they meant. Correct them once, and they will remember it.
Again, if one heard correctly, they kept mixing up their D' with G's.
Likewise, they indeed felt it a little hard to properly say the letter 'T,' substituting it for 'Chiy.'
The group gathered with glistening eyes, listening to Artemis read about several feats concerning this monarch, 'Langon' Barn.
It was said he wanted to offer another scholarship program funded purely by the royal family for everyone, but just nobles!!!
In another part, it spoke about the CELEBRATION DAY when Baymard became an empire.
No slavery, education available, food in excess, Baymard helping other empires in need with accessible medicines that can treat the deadly shooting sickness (the flu)?
What? There is actually a permanent cure for tuberculosis?
Are you telling the truth? Even in Omania, the death rate was high because of these many ailments.
Flip. Flip. Flip~
The group continued, listening to his highness talk about a charity program involving the entire Pyno.
Look! There were before and after images of several people who underwent treatment in the strange empire called Baymard.
Everyone stared at the images in shock.
So... So... This was a disability and not that the person was a cursed child?
Everyone felt their minds blown away. The portrait shows a patient with split (cleft) lips fully healed.
"Your highness... If that's the case, then we..."
--Silence--
For a moment, the room fell into silence.
Almost everyone in this world was guilty of thinking like this. And they weren't exempt.
In their case. They thought the vine God had cursed these people.
But if it were something more--...
Sigh...
Everyone fell in deep thought the more they listened.
His majesty 'Langon' was called the father of all peasants.
"Father of the peasants, father to the weak, father ushering humanity's strongest era… And lastly, the King Of Technology!"
Boom!
The words trembled in their hearts.
'Langon' Barn...
Would they ever be able to meet him?
