"Wait...girl?!"
Suddenly, Dorothy realized the seriousness of something and immediately reached out her hand to reach down. After several unsuccessful attempts, her face became distorted.
"It's gone... It's really gone... I'm Dorothy... Dorothy is a girl, I, I've become a girl!?"
For a moment, Dorothy completely froze where she was, with a dull expression on her face, letting the drizzle fall on her.
䀴At this moment, a voice from afar brought her back to her senses.
"Hey! I found it! Where did the car go?
"Boss! We found it!"
Dorothy's heart tightened when she heard several unfamiliar but understandable languages coming from afar. She turned her head and looked in the direction where the voices came from. She saw sporadic lights flickering in the darkness on the distant river bank, and those lights were swaying towards her.
It's those robbers! They found a place to stalk and are searching along the river!
Realizing that things were not going well, Dorothy frowned immediately. She no longer had the energy to think about other problems. She quickly bent down and hid behind a carriage.
"Not good... Those guys must be here to look for property... They are a bunch of vicious criminals, we need to run away quickly..."
As she thought about it, Dorothy observed the surrounding environment, trying to see where she could escape. Unfortunately, it seemed that because of the rain and the rising water, the place where Dorothy could escape had been submerged by the rushing water. The steep slope on the side was too steep, and it was slippery in the rain, so she couldn't climb up at all.
The only way out of here now is to the direction where the fire is flickering in the dark night. However, that is also the route the robbers are looking for. If you escape from there, you will definitely run into the robbers.
'Damn... is this a dead end?'
Dorothy was anxious for a moment when she realized the danger she was in. Just when she was considering whether to pretend to be dead on the spot to see if she could deceive the robbers, a voice sounded out of nowhere in her mind.
That was a strange voice without any emotion, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It was like the sound of countless mouths humming together.
"Soul integration complete... link established..."
"Sacrifice knowledge... Grant knowledge..."
"ha?"
Dorothy was surprised to hear the voice in her head, then she shook her head to calm her thoughts.
"What the hell? What's that sound? Is it coming directly from my head? Could this be the... system that often comes with time travel in legends?!"
Although she was a little confused by the sudden voice in her head, Dorothy quickly adjusted her thoughts in the face of the crisis, thinking about how to seize this possible opportunity to resolve the crisis.
If this is really a common tradition in time-travel novels, then there must be some time-travel benefits! Maybe I can come and deal with these robbers!
Thinking of this, Dorothy closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart, trying to communicate with the so-called "system".
"Whoever was speaking in my head just now...can you give me some strength? !"
Dorothy thought so, and soon the voice responded to Dorothy again.
"Power... is knowledge... sacrifice this knowledge... gain other knowledge..."
Listening to the voice in her head, Dorothy was stunned. She thought that this power seemed to need to be exchanged, and it needed knowledge. What knowledge could I have in exchange?
Dorothy had just finished thinking when the cold and strange voice answered immediately.
"At present... the most valuable knowledge in this body... is language and writing..."
"Language and writing?"
Listening to the words of the voice, Dorothy thought about the memories of this body of hers. As a girl born in the countryside, the thing she was most proud of was that she could read and write. This was the result of her hard work in the church classes that were held intermittently. It was the biggest difference between her and other children in the village. In this lower-class society with a high illiteracy rate, literacy was a very precious thing.
The mastery of characters and languages is naturally a kind of knowledge. Can the so-called "system" in one's brain turn this knowledge into power?
No matter! The situation is urgent now, I can only give it a try!
With this thought in mind, Dorothy silently thought in her heart.
"Please offer me the language and words I know... whatever it is, give me the power to resolve this predicament!"
After reciting silently, Dorothy began to wait anxiously. After a while, the words of response appeared in her mind.
"Prit, complete grammar, proficient in 3027 words, can read and write..."
"Use this as a contract... in exchange for..."
As the words in her mind echoed, Dorothy felt her head swell up, and then a piece of information that did not belong to the previous self, nor to the original Dorothy, was injected into her mind.
This is also a language...
At this moment, a mysterious and ancient character appeared out of thin air in front of Dorothy. These characters were vigorous, wild, sharp and majestic, as if some giant beast's claws were carving on the rocks.
"Dragon language, roar, three characters..."
