Chapter Seventy-Two: The Long-winded Old Goblin
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Tsk" The old goblin let out a series of exclamations: "This. This. It's amazing! ”
"What's going on?" I wondered, "What wonderful, what do you mean?" ”
He raised his head and pointed to a graffiti on his arm, and his excited tone did not diminish at all: "This, this is the pattern, and this, do you see it?" ”
I nodded, after all, it was my arm, and the pattern on it had already been seen thousands of times, even if I didn't understand what it meant, I was already familiar with it: "And then?" What are you trying to express? ”
"Do you know what they mean?" The old goblin's eyes were round with excitement, but no matter how much he opened them, they were still not much bigger than a soybean grain.
"Ahh What do you mean? ”
"I'll ask you."
"You ask me.?" I pointed at myself tentatively, and when I saw the old guy nodding, I was instantly deflated: "I don't know!" ”
"You don't even know your arm?" The old goblin looked at me in disbelief.
"Damn, what kind of theory is this?" I was upset: "Do I have to know what my arm means?" ”
"Well, let me ask you, what's your name?"
The old goblin didn't know what I meant, and looked at me inexplicably: "Dewey." ”
"Very well, tell me, what does your name 'Dewey' mean?" I retorted.
I have the impression that many people on Earth don't know the meaning of their names, and I guess the same should be true for Zephyr.
"Dewey means 'maker' in the goblin dialect," Dewey said seriously.
"Why don't you play according to the routine!"
I grabbed my hair and pulled my ears, and I almost collapsed.
"Okay Dewey, you can say whatever you like" I said to myself: "Anyway, I just don't know what the arm pattern means, what can you do to me, you hit me, you hit me!" Oh, you're really fighting! Stinky old man! It's over, my head hurts and I can't get up! ”
Covering my head, I lay on the table and touched the porcelain: "Tell you, there are no 1.8 million gold coins, you don't want me to get up!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, Dewey, the old man, suddenly leaned down and slammed his head into the table.
I'll it, play with it!
I was so frightened that a spirit crawled up, with an innocent face and a cheap smile on his face: "Old man, I was joking just now, don't worry about me, you get up quickly." Damn, touch porcelain, you get up! ”
Only then did Dewey raise his head leisurely and clear his throat: "What's the matter, kid?" Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I used to bang my head when I was thinking about things. ”
"It's strange to believe you!" I scolded silently in my heart, but I pretended to have a sudden realization expression on my face: "Hehe, what you said, what you said." ”
I saw that the old goblin had a slightly kind face, and hurriedly asked, "Stink." Ahem, old man, don't look at this graffiti on my arm, but I really don't know anything, look at you just very surprised, as if you know the origin of this pattern, you tell me, and let me see for a long time, don't you say? ”
Seeing that my attitude turned 180 degrees, Dewey shook his disproportionate head, looked like an old expert, and deliberately sold out: "You want to know? ”
"Yes, of course!" It's a matter of life and worth of money, and I'm naturally very urgent.
"Actually. I don't know," Dewey looked so inscrutable that I almost couldn't hold back.
"Stinks. "Old man," I forced the fire and said, "Are you kidding me?" ”
"I didn't tease you, I really don't know the meaning of the pattern on your left arm," Dewey said frankly.
My fist has been raised, and I don't care if I touch the porcelain or not, I will beat it first.
Before he could swing his fist, Dewey spoke again: "Well, I know the meaning of the two symbols I just pointed." ”
The anger was suppressed again, and I smiled cheaply: "Then it will bother the old man." ”
Ahem, Dewey cleared his throat twice and glanced at me.
I immediately understood, looked around, found a water glass, and filled it with it.
Hmm~ Dewey took a sip of water with satisfaction: "Are these patterns on your arms innate?" ”
"Yes."
"That's right," he said, "these are not simple patterns, but words. ”
"Words?"
"Yes, it's words," he said to me, as he seemed to be caught up in his memory, and as he pondered, "when I was a child, I used to play in the family's treasure trove, and I saw similar patterns on some engineering parts, and these are these two. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to two patterns on my arms, one roughly shaped like a gear, and the other somewhat like a wrench.
I hummed and continued to listen.
"In order to figure out what they meant, I read a lot about it, and eventually. Became a Magic Airship Engineer. ”
With the vicissitudes of life on his face, he seemed to want to express the hardships of the year.
I nodded solemnly, but I never knew what it meant: This has something to do with me?
"After years of research, I have become an authority in this field" He said with a proud face: "Authority, do you understand, it means very powerful!" ”
"Well, I understand, Uncle Authority, but what do you say have to do with the pattern on my arm?"
"Of course there is, if I wasn't an authority, would you believe what I'm going to say?"
I already felt the urge to beat him to death.
"Through my identity, I read a lot of bibliophiles, and finally studied the meaning of these two words."
He pointed to the gear-shaped pattern and said, "This represents the hub." ”
"And this," he said, adding to the wrench's pattern, "represents correction." ”
"That's right." I thoughtfully asked, "What does 'pivot' and 'correction' mean?" ”
"I don't know what these two words mean on your arm, but they are very useful in the construction of magical airships."
Dewey moved his hands together and said, "If a magic ship wants to fly, it only needs to be equipped with a levitation device, but if you want to locate the direction, you need to use this symbol at this time." ”
He pointed to the wrench and continued, "As long as this pattern is carved on the hedron and inlaid into the head of the magic airship, you can easily adjust the course of the airship. ”
"And this pattern," he chattered, pointing to the gears, "at the point where the two steel bars are firmly welded, a pattern is depicted that after entering the magic, the two steel bars can be rotated in any direction at will, and the position of the connection is as strong as when welded!" ”
"And there is still and there is more. Eh, why are you going, I haven't finished talking yet, why are you leaving, coming back, and one more point, I'll finish it right away, eh, eh, what are you pulling my curtains for? ”
