Chapter 150 Doubt
"Fire Demon Clan?!" The demon soldier stared at Airo in shock.
Airo still had a smiling expression on his face and shrugged.
I don't understand! So, is the main point to show friendliness?
Among the demons, the fire demons are a rather eccentric race, though most of them are short-tempered.
Although the person in front of me isn't short-tempered, he is... definitely a bit strange.
For example, he deliberately doesn't match what he's saying, and he keeps showing that strange smile.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The other party didn't do anything outrageous, and it did seem like they were just trying to make them happy.
In short, it's still an attempt to curry favor with them.
No one present had ever seen a Fire Demon before, but even if they had, their appearance might differ depending on the region.
To determine whether he is truly a fire demon from a certain region, one might need to travel to that region to find out.
Moreover, the Fire Demon Clan is not a single race; anyone who can control fire is called a Fire Demon Clan. Therefore, the demon soldiers at least confirmed his identity as a Fire Demon Clan member.
Furthermore, judging from the perception of magic power, the opponent is indeed a very strong fire demon.
The demon soldiers exchanged glances and then nodded.
"Alright, go in then."
The demon soldiers blocking the doorway moved aside.
Seeing the demon soldiers make way, Airo turned to An'i and asked, "Can we... go in now?"
“Mm.” An Yi nodded.
Airo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the demon soldier beside him: "Thank you." (in demon language)
The demon soldier did not answer, but simply nodded.
After saying that, Airo took the lead and entered the demon city, followed closely by the others.
An Yi, walking at the very back, casually asked a demon soldier, "What's been going on lately? I'm from out of town, so I don't know much." (in demon language)
The demon soldier didn't bother to hide anything: "Recently, some villains have been killing our kin. Preliminary assessment indicates it's a demon over four meters tall who uses a sharp weapon."
This has nothing to do with you. Since you're here, I hope you have a good time. Go on in.
"Thank you," An Yi replied in the demon language, then entered the city.
Upon entering the city, Layton was somewhat incredulous.
"Just like that... they got in? They did that just now, and they didn't even search me or anything." He exclaimed in surprise.
The reason is simple: the demons' guarding efforts are actually quite weak.
If a person with malicious intent enters the city carrying a knife or poison, a body search is necessary.
The demons are different; their strength is immediately apparent.
Even Layton, the tallest among them, was considered a dwarf by the demons, and most of the group lacked any magical aura.
Even if they bring a knife into the city, the other demons can easily crush them.
As for poisons... the things that demons usually eat have some degree of toxicity, and even the most potent poisons will only give them diarrhea.
There are stronger poisons, but the city is currently on guard against a guy with heavy weapons, not a few seemingly weak dwarfs.
Although some of them possessed powerful magical abilities, they were completely unrelated to the suspect's characteristics.
After all, the suspect didn't use magic.
When he came in, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, but Shiloh frowned the whole time.
Before anyone else dared to speak in human language, Hilo ran a few steps to the back and walked beside Annie.
He asked in a low voice, "Why do you speak the language of the demons?!"
Lycorina was taken aback: "So what if An'i knows the demon language?"
Layton and Milu were also puzzled, but in their view, it wouldn't be surprising if Annie did something.
Knowing the language of the demon race, you must have learned it somewhere, right?
However, the other three members of Hilo's team were different.
Even Airo, after realizing what had happened, was still completely puzzled.
They all wanted to ask An Yi the same question.
Why does he know the language of the demons?
“You may not know what it means to speak the demon language.” Hilo looked at Lycorina. “We are soldiers who protect the fortress, and we are also soldiers who protect humanity.”
The language of the demon race has always been "sou ¤±sou~`:舅)】肆≌◆0№~san≡●蕗/四" This is the information we are focusing on, and many scholars in the fortress are also conducting research on it.
Even across the entire human race, the translation of a new word can cause a huge sensation within our communities.
However, at present, we can only use some simple words in fixed situations!
You asked what happened?
Then I'll tell you!
Your swordsman, Anyi Karl, speaks a language no human in the world can use!
The other demons didn't care when they heard them talking.
The demon race itself has a very complex language system; even goblins can develop their own language.
So in the eyes of other demons, they might be speaking some kind of dialect.
At the same time, other demons are not like goblins, who can "understand human speech".
"No language that humans can use?!" Layton exclaimed. "That An Yi guy is amazing!"
“This isn’t about how powerful I am!” Hilo glared at him.
"Well, we'd like to know more about you... who you really are."
Why do you speak the language of the demons?
Saifi looked up at An Yi with a serious expression, as if he were interrogating him.
"And then, what did you say to the demons?"
An Yi: "..."
The common language of the demon race, the first foreign language of the heroes. In later generations, not to mention him, every hero knew a little bit about it.
However, just as Hiro said, at this point in time, there is no Hero Society, and not even anyone in all of humanity.
He had to speak up because Airo made some minor mistakes in word choice, grammar, and expression that could cause trouble.
Of course, he had already thought about how to explain it when he opened his mouth.
"Of course, it was the High God who taught An Yi!" Lycorina chuckled, proudly patting An Yi's shoulder. "The High God can teach us anything!"
An Yi: "Yes."
That's good, Her Highness has already learned to answer first.
"Lord God?" Hilo stared in astonishment.
An Yi nodded: "Yes, through the divinely bestowed system, the language of the demon race is recorded, and then the system judges the meaning of the sentences from the context."
For example, the minotaur, horse-headed man, and pig-headed man who just went in, the system recorded what they said.
In terms of race, the pronunciation after each race is the same; only the pronunciation before each race is different.
Therefore, we can deduce that what they said first was the name of the race, and what followed was the meaning of 'tribe'.
If you rely on your ears to analyze, you might not be able to figure it out in a short time.
But if we analyze it using a divinely-given system, it becomes very simple.
Lycorina nodded in agreement: "Anyi is amazing, isn't she! And the High God is amazing too!"
Hilo frowned, pinching his chin as he fell into deep thought.
In the end, we have to accept this view.
"Okay, I didn't expect there to be such a method," she conceded.
However... this statement has serious flaws.
Shiloh's basic intelligence is 1; he just can't wrap his head around it.
But Saifi noticed something was wrong:
"If that's the case, why did you have Airo use fire just now?"
Did the word 'fire' appear in the previous scenario?
Obviously not!
Chapter 151 Unconditional Trust
Upon hearing this, Hilo immediately realized, "Yes, what about 'fire'?"
"Will the High God teach you even words that haven't appeared in the context?" Sephi continued to press.
At this moment, Saifei concealed a piece of information.
That is, humans already know the pronunciation of the demon race's "fire".
So when An Yi said "Fire Demon Clan" just now, she heard the word "fire" in the pronunciation.
Although she didn't want to suspect any connection between An Yi and the demons, he was behaving too suspiciously!
His strength, which didn't match his attributes, his fluent demon language, and his masterful use of the system all made her feel that this man was special.
Does he have a hidden identity?
Hard to say!
In An Yi's view, the other party's suspicions were reasonable.
After all, as soldiers, it's impossible for them to lack even this basic sense of smell.
