Where is my hometown?

Something is wrong.

Lin Lang quietly cast a look at Lin Yuan and Su Mu. The two instantly understood what she meant and suppressed all their complaints.

It doesn't make logical sense that someone who knows the name "Parnaqui" doesn't understand the Parnaqui language.

——If he didn't understand the language of Parnaki, how did he know the name "Parnaki"?

You should know that in any language of Parnaki, there is no pronunciation close to the Chinese word "Parnaki".

Did this person deliberately approach them as a time traveler, or was there some other hidden secret behind this?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Yuan's mind. He blinked his eyes, and in an instant, all his doubts were quietly concealed, turning into the surprise of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land": "You are indeed one of them!"

He patted his chest, as if he was relieved: "Oh, I tried you once before, but when you didn't react, I thought I guessed wrong."

Fu An looked confused: "Test?"

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then uttered a short "Ah", and finally realized, "So that inexplicable thing you said before was a test?"

"... Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Lin Yuan said calmly: "I heard you singing San Carlos, so I thought of using the local dialect to test your reaction."

Fu An showed a surprised expression: "In such a short time, you actually learned the San Carlos dialect? That's amazing! Are you also a big shot in the group?"

"Group?" Lin Yuan looked puzzled.

"You don't know?" Fu An was stunned for a moment: "It's a group of time travelers. Didn't the time travelers you know mention it to you?"

Lin Yuan pointed at Lin Lang and Su Mu: "They are the only two people I know."

Fu An did not doubt Lin Yuan's words. He said "I see", and looked at Lin Yuan and the other two with a little more pity in his eyes: "This kind of situation with a small probability does happen. After all, not everyone joins the union. There are always a few wandering time travelers who choose to fight alone."

At this point, he said sincerely: "I admire lone wolf travelers like you for having the courage to adventure alone in such a big world."

The two chatted for a while, with Lin Lang and Su Mu joining the conversation from time to time. Soon, Fu An's mood visibly relaxed, and it was obvious that he was completely relieved about them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Lang asked, "Are there many people in your group who learn languages ​​on their own?"

Fu An, who already regarded Lin Yuan and the other two as "one of our own", answered readily: "Not many. There are more than 500 people in our group, and only 20 to 30 big guys have learned the local language. Most of them are language majors."

At this point, Fu An couldn't help but sigh: "After all, I didn't expect that I could gain the ability of real-time translation after traveling through time. The sounds in my ears were all turned into Chinese, and the words I saw could be automatically translated in my head. I have no motivation to learn languages ​​at all."

Lin Yuan/Lin Lang/Su Mu: “???!!!”

No, automatic translation? How can it be like this!

Then what does it matter how hard they suffered in order to learn the language!

Learning languages ​​other than their native dialect would be fine, since everyone started from the same starting line. But some people were unlucky, like Su Mu. Mermaids lay eggs, so the incubation period is 20 to 30 years. Other students were born more than a decade later, and their memories as humans were restored, directly merging with Parnaki's personality and memories, and instantly mastering the language of the other world. But Su Mu was different, he restored his human consciousness directly in the eggshell. Before he could figure out the current situation, the eggshell broke, and he didn't learn the language left in the memory inheritance.

For this reason, Su Mu had to pretend to be deaf and dumb for many years, so much so that he was once considered a fool.

Compared with Fu An's time travel, which comes with its own translation, their time travel is like a game in beta, full of bugs, with only a framework, no patches, no updates, and no feedback.

When it was Fu An and his friends' turn, they experienced the third test before the server was launched. The patches were basically completed and the novice tutorial was detailed, and they were just waiting for the full public beta.

But the three then realized a key problem: there are only three ways to use magic in Parnaki.

The first one is to use the clan inheritance within the soul circuit to cast magic. Most of those who can do this are top races such as dragons, demons, or elves, who are born with powerful strength and innate magic.

The second method is to use magic-rich entities to construct magic circuits and use them as a medium to cast magic - the more common ones are magic scrolls, or staffs or weapons engraved with magic circles, as well as daily necessities that store simple magic.

The third and most common way to use magic is through language, or words.

Words are the simplest and most commonly used medium. They contain magic in themselves, and through different arrangements and combinations, they can create endless magic.

It can be said that if you want to learn magic, learning characters is essential.

And some special tribes, their language is a kind of magic, such as Su Mu's mermaid tribe, Su Mingya's elves tribe, or Song Mingzhe's dragon tribe.

But this group of travelers, or the vast majority of travelers, don't know the Parnaki language at all! This means that they have never systematically learned magic!

So what did these people do during their time traveling through time? Working, farming, or inventing things?

"Excuse me, how long have you been in Parnaqui?"

After thinking it over again and again, Lin Yuan decided to choose this bold question which might very likely expose their identities.

Fortunately, this question did not make Fu An suspicious. He smiled shyly: "My level is not very good. I died of illness in Parnaki within two years of traveling through time. Unlike our group leader, he lived well in Parnaki until all the people traveled back to Earth. Not only did he work hard to build his own business, but he also established our time traveler union. It's amazing that he can accomplish so many things in five years!"

Five hundred and seven years old Su Mu: "......"

Four hundred and seventy-two-year-old Lin Lang: "......"

Three hundred and twenty-seven-year-old Lin Yuan: "......"

Sweating all over.

"I, we are almost the same as you." Lin Lang lied with his eyes wide open: "We have only lived for two or three years."

"You are really amazing to be able to learn a language from another world in just two or three years!" Fu An said with admiration.

The three of them looked erratic: "Thank you..."

Listening to Fu An's continued praise, Lin Yuan felt a little guilty. He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, can we apply to join your group of time travelers?"

This slightly presumptuous question made Fu An hesitate for a moment, but he quickly nodded again, but he didn't say it completely: "We usually only invite acquaintances to join the group, but I can ask our team leader for you. If there is no problem with the subsequent review, you can join the group."

"You guys still have an audit?" Lin Lang was full of curiosity: "How do you audit?"

"I only know the simplest one." Fu An counted on his fingers and said one by one in order: "First, ordinary members like me recommend to the team leader. If the team leader thinks that you can recruit people, you can participate in the assessment. After the assessment, the results will be reported to the deputy group leaders, and the deputy group leaders will vote to decide whether you can join the group. If you pass, just tell the group leader and back up your files. "

Lin Yuan and the other two: "......"

What a troublesome process!

I thought it was just a small organization, but I didn't expect the structure to be quite strict. Unlike their class group, the emperor, Mr. Rui, was the only one in charge.

"What is the assessment?" Su Mu asked.

"It's just some common sense answers." Fu An said, "After all, if someone gets the news about Parnaki from somewhere, it will be troublesome for them to blend into the group."

Common sense answer? For them who have lived in Parnaki for hundreds of years, there shouldn't be any problem...right?

The three of them exchanged glances quietly, and indeed, they all saw uncertainty in each other's eyes.

Fu An mentioned that there were more than 500 people in their group, which was obviously far more than the total number of "travelers". However, despite this huge number of people, no one noticed the nine classes of people living in Parnaki. There were three possible reasons for this.

The first possibility is that they traveled through time earlier than Class 9.

But this possibility is not high in reality. The glory of Earth civilization cannot be easily covered by the word "magic". Except for Parnaki's high-end combat power at the top of the combat power echelon, the Earth with its technological weapons can be said to be at a crushing level.

The confidence brought by technology and knowledge will make the earthlings unconsciously have a strong sense of superiority when facing the Parnagi people who are still living at the medieval level. This sense of superiority will prompt them to bring the knowledge and skills of the earth into the other world and create greater benefits for themselves.

As long as you create, you will definitely leave traces.

Five hundred years, twenty-four students and one teacher, and the absolute strength of the first echelon. Such a configuration is enough for them to easily travel to every corner of Parnaghi. In fact, Shiki Shi alone has completed the feat of traveling around all the countries of Parnaghi.

But after such a long time, they did not find any signs related to time travelers other than themselves, not even the "union" mentioned by Fu An.

In other words, this inference is basically impossible.

The second possibility is that they traveled through time after Team 9 returned to Earth.

The possibility of this inference is basically non-existent. As discussed before, the "travelers" will definitely find the marks they left behind as earthlings. In this case, Fu An will not use the clear time of "five years" to describe the strong people he thinks of - the group leader. The strong people in his eyes are only the students of Class 9 who are well-known in Parnagi and have created countless legends.

Then there is only one possibility.

This group of travelers, perhaps they should not be called "travelers" - they are not going to the real Parnaqui at all. Instead, they are going to a brand new world constructed based on Parnaqui.

There are many people in Class 9 who are good at time and space magic. They have long explored the possibility of a parallel world of Parnaji, but have not found its existence. After a hundred years of research and argumentation, they finally dared to conclude that the time and space where Parnaji is located is unique.

If one wants to use magic to create a brand new Parnaki one-to-one and let this group of time travelers go to that world, the only thing that can be done is perhaps the "Creator God" who created Parnaki and the Twenty-Four Gods at the beginning of the world, a person who only exists in history books and legends.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is extremely strange, and you must quickly share it with the class group. Maybe other students will have different opinions or clues.

As Lin Yuan thought about this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Compared to the terrifying details behind this incident, there is a more straightforward problem now.

Since the time and world of this group of people are uncertain, their knowledge about Parnaki may not fit into the cognition of these "travelers". This means that they may not be able to pass the assessment sent by the team leader.

Perhaps it was because Lin Yuan was thinking too much and it seemed superficial for a moment. Fu An, who was sensitive to other people's emotions, quickly noticed this.

Because of his trust in Lin Yuan's knowledge of the San Carlos dialect, Fu An did not think deeply about the reason for his frown. He just thought that Lin Yuan was worried that the test questions were too difficult and that he was afraid that he would not be able to join the group.

He tried to pat Lin Yuan's arm and tried his best to comfort him: "Don't worry, the test is very simple, just a few common sense questions. In case you forget, don't I still have you?"

Lin Yuan and the other two: "......"

They looked at Fu An with genuine emotion and said in unison: "You are such a good person!"

Like a funnel, all kinds of important information are falling out crazily, without any consideration of hiding it, and now we even have to take the initiative to help them complete the assessment!

But the three old-timers relied on Fu An's trust, told lies and were hypocritical...

Lin Yuan said "sorry" in his heart and continued to play the role of "newbie time traveler" with confidence.

Fu An, who had never been praised so directly, had a flushed cheek and his eyes were filled with unstoppable joy.

Fu An's phone happened to vibrate. He picked it up and took a look, revealing a delighted expression: "Our team leader agreed. He sent me the test questions. You can do it now."

The three of them quickly came forward and sandwiched Fu An in the middle.

The unexpected physical contact made Fu An's hands tremble violently, and the phone almost slipped. He quickly caught it and held it tightly in his hand, not daring to move at all. He only looked at the three people around him quietly, his cheeks flushed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, shy and happy.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan and the other two were completely focused on the questions on the screen at the moment and had no time to pay attention to Fu An's emotional changes.

On the palm-sized screen, it was written:

1. Countries and cities you traveled through

2. What customs did you encounter in the city you traveled through? Please tell me at least one.

3. Your ethnicity

4. How long did you survive in Parnaqui?

5. Do you remember any language related to Parnagi? If so, please write down the relevant words and the corresponding Chinese, and use phonetic symbols to annotate the pronunciation

There are five questions in total. The first four are very ordinary, but the fifth is very intriguing.

It seems that this group leader is also aware of the importance of words to magic. Is he planning to use the assessment when joining the group to collect words from all over the place, and then combine them to try to decipher the language of Parnaki?

I thought this group of "time travelers" came back to Earth to set up the "Curly Baboon Research Association" to help each other, but now it seems that the purpose of the people who set up the group is not just to gather them in a group to provide information to each other and to impose counter-constraints on them. It is very likely that "text" is the first purpose of establishing this group.

"Do you mind if I answer the questions directly on your phone?" Lin Yuan asked.

After getting Fu An's approval, Lin Yuan opened the memo, his fingers flew up and down, and he quickly typed a long string of text.

1. The Holy Empire of Carlos (San Carlos), with its capital at Blaise

2. Every November, San Carlos holds a harvest festival to celebrate the harvest and the end of the fishing season. Each household will select the best crops from the year's harvest and place them at the door of the house, praying for a good harvest next year. Each town will also select the "Harvest Heart" and give out medals and a month's worth of food as a reward. On the day of the festival, San Carlos people will also cook pumpkin fish soup and beer to celebrate.

And go to the temple of the "Goddess of Disaster" to pray.

Lin Yuan added silently in his heart.

3. Humans

4. Three years

"Harvest Festival." Looking at the words written by Lin Yuan, Fu An also showed a nostalgic expression: "When I lived on the street, the aunt next door would send me pumpkin fish soup and wheat pudding every Harvest Festival. The fish soup was especially delicious, but the pudding was weird. It was just wheat porridge with sheep's blood added. It was fishy and didn't look like pudding at all."

Lin Yuan's eyes sparkled - wheat pudding? This kind of thing had been promoted and improved into the egg pudding that Earthlings are more familiar with after he became a Knight Templar.

It seems that the time is basically determined: it was before they traveled through time, but it was not the "Panaki" they were familiar with.

"The pumpkin fish soup is indeed delicious, paired with freshly baked baguette. It's not easy to find something in San Carlos that suits the Chinese people's appetite." Lin Yuan sighed a few times following Fu An's words, while switching to the drawing function of the memo, writing a string of San Carlos words crookedly, and deliberately missing two characters.

"What does this sentence mean?" Fu An asked curiously.

Lin Yuan read it in San Carlos with a Chinese accent and explained, "It means 'Happy Harvest Festival'."

Fu An read it several times with great interest. Taking advantage of this time, Lin Lang and Su Mu also wrote down their answers and asked Fu An to send them to the team leader.

After doing all this, Fu An said: "Let's add one. If it passes the review, I will add you to the group as soon as possible."

Naturally, there was no need for the three of them to object.

After doing all this, the three of them said goodbye to Fu An reluctantly, saying they did not want to disturb his training.

...

"Nine classes of people who love each other"

"A Templar who doesn't want to be a Dragon Rider is not a good Knight" (Lin Yuan): ...The above is the information we have investigated.

『King Hunting Expert』 (Lin Lang): [Screenshot] Crossover Union Chinese Group ① (572)

"King Hunting Expert": We have successfully joined the group and there is no abnormality at the moment

"Learning makes me happy" (Advanced Mathematics): A group? How many groups are there in total?

"A Templar who doesn't want to be a Dragon Knight is not a good knight": I asked Fu An, and he said there are more than ten groups. He doesn't know the exact number, but the group we joined was the first one to be established, and the union administrators are also concentrated in this group.

『四季sama』(Si Jishi): Should we also try to find the group of these time travelers?

"I, Qin Shi Huang, send money" (Ou Wenna): My advice is not to. There are too many of us, and if we contact them rashly, we might be noticed. If possible, I hope that you three will be the only ones who have contact with them. If they have any signs of movement, you can notify us at any time.

"King Hunting Expert": I think so too. Too many people will only alert the enemy. At least let us find out the details of these people first.

『A Little Sun』 (Sun Jingshu): Since Su Mu sang the song in the universal language, if the video is posted on X-Music and X-Blog, it will definitely be noticed by these time travelers. I have an idea. Since Su Mu and Lin Lang have already joined their group, why not use this opportunity to attract the attention of time travelers from all over the world and reduce the attention we may receive. If something unexpected happens, we can also act quickly without being noticed.

"I, Qin Shi Huang, send money": I support

『I want to eat meat』 (Su Mingya): @『Reject Haitang』 @『King Hunting Expert』 What do you two think?

『King Hunting Expert』: I think so.

『Reject Haitang』 (Su Mu): I have no problem with that either

"I want to eat meat": That's settled. Let's discuss the next question. What do you think about the worlds that these "travelers" travel through?

"No Longer Human" (Song Mingzhe): I agree with Lin Yuan's guess. They did not travel to Parnaki where we are.

"Learn more about swimming and fitness" (Zhou Xun): Agree

"School uniforms are a dead end" (Zhang Jiajia): This is not Parnaki, nor is it a parallel world. What other possibilities are there?

"Please don't fail miserably" (Bai Luo): I do have an idea. Could it be that this is not a time travel at all, but a man-made "dream"?

『Please don't fail miserably』: @『毛血旺天下第一』, Lu Baixi, I remember that you vampires have magic related to dreams? Doesn't the 『Dark Goddess』 you believe in have the power over 『Dreams』? It seems like there are a lot of magic related to dreams, right?

『毛血旺天下第一』 (Lu Baixi): Yes, there is dream magic, but I am not good at it, I am good at close combat. As for the 『Dark Goddess』, I don’t believe in religion, so I don’t know much about it [scratching my head.jpg]

"Please don't fail miserably": ...

『毛血旺是天下之第一』：Wouldn’t it be better if you asked @『Librarian』 about this matter?

...

『Librarian』 (Chen Qiting): I just went to compare memory and dream-related magic. Sorry for being late.

Librarian: There is indeed a kind of dream magic recorded in the Dark Temple, which can pull certain people into the dream they have constructed and make them blur their perception of time. When they think they are dead in the dream, they will also die in reality.

『Make Money』 (Zhao Yaya): But didn’t Fu An say that he died in Parnaky in less than three years?

『Librarian』: Pulling someone out of their dream before they realize they are dead can prevent death in reality, but this requires very delicate magical manipulation.

"The best Maoxuewang in the world": It's not just a magic operation. Thousands, or even tens of thousands of people were pulled into the dream at the same time. In order for them not to feel anything strange in the dream, it is necessary to ensure that everyone they come into contact with is real enough, and to keep an eye on their every move to make sure they don't die in reality because of the dream. I suspect that the reason why the group leader only stayed for five years was because the person who created the dream could not maintain it for a longer time.

"Learn about swimming and fitness": If it is really a dream, everything can be explained. Why can they automatically understand the meaning of language without learning, why there is no trace of us in the Parnaki where they live, and why there is no trace known to us.

"Reject Begonia": But why do we have to erase the traces we left in Parnaki? The person who created the dream seemed to deliberately not let them know about the existence of us travelers.

"I, Qin Shi Huang, want money": Who else in Parnaji can fulfill all the above conditions to complete the magic, and know the true appearance of Parnaji before being transformed by us? Who else can do this at the same time?

"Money":......

"Reject Begonia":......

『四四季sama』：......

"Please don't fail miserably": It seems that no one except our class can do this!

『I want to eat meat』: @『芮航』Teacher Rui, stop lurking and tell us what you think!

『Rui Hang』:...Let's put this matter aside for now

『瑞航』:【Send location】

"Please don't fail miserably":?

『Rui Hang』: If any classmates are nearby now, please come to me immediately, it’s urgent!

"I want to eat meat":!!!

『四季sama』: Mr. Rui, what have you encountered!!!

"Please don't fail miserably": I'm nearby, I'll be there right away! Teacher Rui, hold on!

『Rui Hang』:......

『瑞航』: Stay calm, it's not a big deal

『Rui Hang』: It’s just a blind date

『Rui Hang』: Help me to mess things up
