Mystery: The Star Key

Of course, this is not an ordinary dictionary, but an extraordinary item.

This is the sealed artifact found and handed to him from the family treasury by the butler Jules Tien when he learned that Ignatius was about to go to Bayam.

Its name is "The Linguist".

Its effect and function is to allow users to freely use more than 60 languages ​​including Ruen, Dutan, Feysac, and Intis.

According to the results of the divination, the reason why this extraordinary item has the specialization skill "Linguistics" is because its ability originates from a linguist who is also a Sequence 9 reader.

The reader was proficient in and mastered more than 60 languages, and because he was learning and deciphering languages ​​at the time of his accidental death, he had a nearly lost linguistics dictionary at hand. Combining the linguist's Beyonder characteristics with the dictionary, it turned into this sealed artifact.

The use of "linguist" is also very simple. Just expand the dictionary and give it a hint that I want to understand a certain language, and it will work on its own.

Perhaps because it is a Sealed Artifact corresponding to Sequence 9, its side effects are acceptable.

The side effect of "linguists" is that the carrier will have a certain reading addiction, and every time they use it, they must share a little knowledge that the other party doesn't know before starting a conversation and using it as an opening remark. If they forget to share, or have nothing to say, the user will tell one of their secrets instead.

Considering the possible language barrier, Igna brought it with him before this trip.

After explaining to Canterbury the possible side effects of this sealed artifact, Igna unfolded the dictionary and gave it hints that he wanted to know Dutan.

Then, Igna looked at Canterbury and blurted out his debut.

"Did you know?" Igna said, "The curly baboon is the biggest monkey in the world."

This is what he just learned a few days ago.

"..."

Canterbury was silent for a while and said, "I know now."

Igna nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that this is indeed a knowledge that few people know (Note).

But before Igna could look at the bulletin board, someone suddenly asked in Ruen language: "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Igna was startled. He was a little surprised that someone in this village could speak the Ruen language so fluently.

The use of "linguists" does not affect the language the user originally mastered.

Therefore, Igna was also able to answer in fluent Ruen: "Hello, miss. We want to see if there are any requests on the bulletin board."

"Entrustment?" The young lady who approached to talk showed a somewhat puzzled look, "Is it the entrustment I understand?"

She made a gesture and tried another word to explain: "Someone assigns a certain task to be completed, and if it is completed, a reward will be paid."

"Yes." Igna smiled. "Do you have any clues?"

The woman was stunned and hesitated.

The man beside him saw that she was a little embarrassed, so he asked, and said frankly, "Alena, what are they going to do?"

The man's tone was more polite and did not show hostility. Just an ordinary question.

The woman called Alena turned her head and said to the man, "Oh, it's nothing, they are just asking for directions, saying how to get to the mayor."

Ok?

Igna paused for a moment, holding the "linguist" in his hand, and he could naturally understand what Alena was saying.

Why did this girl named Alena translate randomly?

While Igna was still considering whether to correct Alena's statement, Canterbury, who was not far behind him, spoke up.

"No sir," she said directly in Dutan. "We are asking if there is any commission we can take on. Miss Alena may have heard it wrong."

Gu Wan Alena's expression changed, and the man showed a somewhat surprised look.

After a brief period of surprise, he immediately nodded solemnly to the two of them, and said, "Then, I have a commission that I want to give to you."

Oh?

Ignatius suddenly became more energetic.

Could this be the reason for Alena's messy translation earlier?

"My wife is missing. I want to entrust you to help me find her." The man sighed, looking a little frustrated.

"Five days ago, my wife Jocelyn disappeared," the man said. "Everyone in the village said she went into the forest, but she never came back. I'm worried about her...she never left the village alone like this. It's been a long time."

"We tried to find her in the forest together, and we also issued notices, but we never found anything."

"Can you help me find her?" He took a deep breath, "Even if... she is dead, I want to know where she is."

"Yes. I accept this commission." Canterbury agreed directly.

Igna looked at Canterbury silently, but he did not refute.

On the one hand, because he became slightly curious about this matter.

On the other hand, Canterbury had spoken to him. She has occasionally succeeded in teaching before, basically by completing "commissions".

Therefore, before giving missionary advice, Igna believes that understanding and experiencing successful missionary methods also has strong reference for the future. Can be counted as part of fieldwork.

"There are a few questions," Canterbury said.

"Please say it." There seemed to be a little hope in the man's eyes.

"When was the last time you saw your wife?" Canterbury asked, her voice was very calm and reassuring.

"Is there anything unusual about her behavior? For example, her behavior is not right?"

"The last time I saw her was in the early morning five days ago. At that time, I was about to go out to hunt. She was still sleeping, but when I came back, she had disappeared." The man replied.

"The night before I left...she was as happy as ever, nothing out of the ordinary..." The man said ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ So maybe he was going to a nearby village to run errands, but he didn't tell you? ' asked Canterbury again.

"Impossible." The man said firmly. "As I said, my wife has never left the village alone for so long."

Canterbury frowned.

"Okay," she said.

"I'll search in the forest for you. Maybe you've missed some information."

"But I don't promise to find it for you." Canterbury said with a cold face.

"Before starting the investigation..." Igna finally found a chance to interject, "We also need an item that your wife often carries around her body."

Seeing the unpredictable expression on the hunter's face, Igna added as usual, "This will help us analyze where she may have gone."

"Okay," said the hunter, "if that helps you find her."

Note 1: Baboons are indeed the biggest monkeys. When I found out, my expression was probably the same as yours now.

It's true, it's true, it's true!

Note 2: The dungeon prototype comes from The Witcher 3 classic dungeon. Announced after the end. This niche is a bit...not many people should know about it!
