Chapter 040: First Sentence
In the blink of an eye, many days passed.
The weather is getting a little cooler, the leaves of the trees in the forest are turning yellow and falling one by one, and when you stand on the hill and look into the distance during the day, you can see a mottled patch, like a watercolor painting painted by a child.
During these days, Richard was not idle, and while continuing to study demonic spells, he was busy making various things. Although there are a lot of materials and instruments brought in the suitcase, they will always be used for a day, so you must plan ahead.
Therefore, Richard began to make lime from chalk, oxaline and soda ash from wood ash, acetic acid, acetone and methanol from wood by dry distillation, and sulfuric acid from sulfide ore.
In the process of preparation, simple buildings also appeared in the open space on the hill, such as windmills, such as mixed feed shaft kilns, such as shallow pools, etc.
Pandora and Gregory neither agreed nor opposed to these changes, and Richard continued to build.
During this time, Richard discovered a few other things as well. For example, Gregory did not stay in the Dragon's Cave all the time, but would leave from time to time and fly to other places. It can be as short as half a day, or as long as a few days to come back, and I don't know what to do.
As for Pandora, there was still no verbal communication.
Generally speaking, even if they are really deaf and mute, they will make sounds such as "babbling", but after such a long period of contact, Richard did not find that the other party had any behavior of wanting to speak, and all the communication was almost completed with only one look and one movement, and the meaning was expressed very clearly.
For example, "stay away", "farther away", "farther away", "don't talk to me".
In this regard, Richard couldn't help but guess whether the reason why the other party didn't speak was not because he couldn't understand or speak, but because he ......
......
It was night, and darkness was pouring in from afar, and the whole sky was like a flooded sand, rapidly dimming.
After studying the magic pattern for a day, Richard walked out of the castle and exhaled a cloudy breath. I found that the open space in front of the castle was quiet, only the windmills were "creaking" and turning.
Grigory had flown away the day before yesterday and never returned, and Pandora did not know where he had gone.
Although he knew that the other father and daughter were very strange, but at this time, Richard couldn't help but think in his heart, the other party was so relieved of himself, not afraid that he would run away with all the jewels in the dragon cave? Of course, it is very likely that there are no jewels in the Gregorian stinky dragon cave, only garbage and broken stones.
Thinking so, Richard heard a sound of footsteps, "Da Da Da", it was Pandora. However, the footsteps are mixed with the sound of dragging heavy objects, "rustling".
"Huh?" Richard turned his head to look, and then saw a purple Pandora coming up from the bottom of the mountain, dragging behind his body a huge tree that was several decades old, more than ten meters long, more than thirty centimeters in diameter, and a lot of soil at the roots, which looked as if it had just been pulled out of the soil. Pandora coldly dragged the tree to the clearing of the hill and lowered it with a "bang".
"What is this for?" Richard wondered, "to transplant trees and add greenery to the hills......?" If you transplant in the fall, the survival rate will not be high. โ
Pandora didn't say anything, just put down the arbor, her brows furrowed slightly, as if thinking about something important.
After a while, he stretched out his hand to the roots of the tree, and with a few "clicks" broke all the remaining roots, and then walked to the canopy and began to break the branches of the tree with his hands.
"Click, click, click......"
After a long time, the entire tree in Pandora's hand was only the trunk, which looked like a huge wooden stick more than ten meters long.
Pandora picked up the trunk with two arms, and the next moment it slammed it, and immediately a whirlwind blew across the clearing.
"Whew!"
Richard, who was standing next to him, pouted slightly, it was already determined that Pandora dragged the trees up, definitely not for transplantation, but what the hell was that?"
"Whew, whew!" Then Pandora took two more turns, as if to test her hands, and after a moment she frowned at the whole clearing in front of the castle while holding on to the trunk, and with a little disappointment dropped the trunk, turned and walked down the hill again, and disappeared into the darkness.
A short time later, Pandora returned, and as expected, dragged back again an arbor, which looked older and heavier.
As she did, Pandora quickly moved the tree into what it was just now, and picked it up again.
After a few turns, he shook his head again, put it down, and walked down the hill.
After repeating this several times, there were four large wooden sticks more than ten meters long, of different thicknesses and different weights, in the open space.
Picking up the last stick, Pandora's eyes blinked, revealing a somewhat satisfied expression. After thinking of something for a moment, he tilted his head slightly to look at Richard next to him.
"Don't run around at night. Pandora said, thought for a moment, and added two words like gold, "Danger." โ
"Huh?" Richard raised his eyebrows, listened to Pandora's words, and after a brief moment of surprise, reacted. Then three things were figured out.
First, Pandora does speak, at least as well as Gregory, the lingua franca of the current world.
Second, the reason why Pandora has not spoken for so long is entirely because of ...... Well, too lazy to say. Or ...... It is also possible that the strange environment has created the other party's special personality, such as autism. On the modern earth, it is not without such examples, people who are self-contained to a certain extent, can not say a word all year round, whether to strangers or relatives, and completely close themselves in an independent world.
In short, it's not that the other party can't say it, but that they don't want to say it.
Third, Pandora has not spoken for so long, and it is natural that she suddenly spoke today because of interest. Looking at the strange behavior of the other party, you should understand that something will happen tonight, and something very dangerous will happen.
What would that be?
In the darkness, Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, looking into the darkness below the hill. The long-term meditation strengthened the perception of the body to a certain extent, which made Richard somewhat keenly aware that after nightfall today, the forest obviously did not calm down, but became more and more restless.
"Uh-huhโ"
"Roarโ"
"Hiss-"
The cries of all kinds of beasts came and went, and Richard received them all in his ears.
"It's going to ...... Richard's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked up at the night sky with some sense. A large moon shines through the clouds and shines through the entire forest, I don't know if it's an illusion, Richard feels that compared with before, the color of the moon at this moment is a little red, as if it is stained with blood......
