Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?

Chapter 595: Translation Problems and Solutions

”Yes, naturally there are!”

Wu Mali said very eagerly.

After all, the communication within Ninglan New City could be considered relatively backward.

Because the Ninglan New City of the past was only so big and didn’t have overly complex needs, there weren’t many technological updates.

Adhering to the attitude of ’good enough is fine’ caused many technologies to develop very slowly.

However, the Academy Network technology brought by the Witch Academy was popularized immediately.

This was regardless of cost.

After all, for the Witch Academy, this level of resource consumption was nothing.

Every batch of newly enrolled students would even be given a mobile phone connected to the Academy Network for free by the academy.

So here, one can see many old-style Earth Vein Operating Systems that were once eliminated by the Witch Academy.

It can be considered equipment reuse.

And here at the Extraordinary Research Association, naturally, there is also a large amount of such information equipment used to assist in the storage and teaching of extraordinary techniques.

According to Wu Mali, he also got these through connections.

As for what connections, naturally, it was his relationship with Ninglan Qiuyue.

I have to say that the Academy Network and Earth Vein Operating System are indeed very convenient things.

If I didn’t have these... I actually have a Portable Earth Vein Operating System given to me by Teacher Ji Niang in my storage equipment, which has been gathering dust for a long time.

But now with equipment in this regard, I can rely on the interfacing between the Great Tree of Knowledge and the Academy Network to complete the transmission of information.

I have to say that the proposal of interfacing the Academy Network with the Great Tree of Knowledge is truly too useful.

At least it is extremely convenient in the Main World, and now this convenience has also extended to the Expansion Realm.

However, just as I was waiting for them to start up and debug these devices, something happened outside the association.

And at this moment, I was explaining some of my plans and proposals to Shen Tule and the president.

After all, I didn’t come here to be a translation teacher.

I have many other things to do; it’s just that I’m not in a hurry right now.

”Did something happen?”

”Sorry, excuse me, I’ll go see what exactly the situation is.”

As the president here, Wu Mali naturally knew what was important.

He couldn’t interject much here, so naturally, he consciously went to solve some troubles.

Not long after, Wu Mali brought some people wearing standard City Defense Army external armor here.

Since that incident, the City Defense Army and the City Guard had been unified.

There were only verbal distinctions in address for internal and external duties.

”Oh? Another acquaintance.”

Seeing the comer, I also paused the current topic and looked at the other party.

”May I ask if you are Scholar Xiao Han?”

Mo Le recognized me immediately after hearing my words.

After all, he had some understanding.

He also had a brief list of the important personnel, that is, teaching assistants, who would come from the Witch Academy this time.

”It seems I don’t need to introduce myself. I only asked that City Defense Army soldier who received me to say hello to you for me, but I didn’t ask you to come all this way to see me.”

I chuckled lightly and said.

”Apologies, Scholar Xiao Han. Coming to see you this time was my idea.”

Mo Le explained directly.

He had headed straight for the arranged hotel earlier, but came up empty.

Then, after asking around one by one and making guesses, he learned that the other party came to the Extraordinary Technology Research Association side.

However, seeing that the other party didn’t run directly outside the city as soon as she arrived, Mo Le felt there was a lot of hope for more communication.

As the highest officer of the City Defense Army, his title is just pleasant-sounding now.

Every day he needs to face a very severe problem.

Now there are ”refugees” rushing over from outside the city every moment, and they cannot accept them all.

He can only rely on extraordinary killers to clear surrounding mutated beasts and create partial safe zones outside the city, letting those people gather outside the city.

And he has to be ready at any time to deal with sudden situations where those guys riot and charge Ninglan New City.

The Witch Academy side said these people are people who ”transmigrated” from another world, and are the foundation for establishing civilization on the continent outside Ninglan New City.

Although the Witch Academy didn’t firmly say they aren’t allowed to harm those people, out of empathy as fellow humans, they also find it hard to carry out inhumane massacres against them.

But if they really riot, they will absolutely not give up using weapons of mass destruction, the extraordinary killers, for deterrence.

”Since the highest officer of the City Defense Army came personally, can I ask what the matter is?”

”Naturally, it is to establish a good communication channel with you. We learned that the Witch Academy would send people to help us solve the troubles we are currently encountering, so I came over immediately. If there is any place where our cooperation is needed, we will naturally help with all our might.”

”Oh...”

I nodded slightly, roughly understanding what he meant.

Although Mo Le’s words sounded nice, the meaning he expressed was obvious.

Now that the small world has merged with the Expansion Realm, it has caused quite a bit of trouble for Ninglan New City.

The Witch Academy seemed to have promised to help solve it, so he came looking.

As for why he didn’t look for the few who arrived early... I estimate maybe they ignored them.

Judging from their hurried appearance, the situation Ninglan New City faces is probably already not good.

Although their words were euphemistic, the meaning was already expressed.

Establishing communication channels, helping with all their might, actually means wanting me to take charge.

”Curious question, what are those few who arrived before me doing?”

”Apologies, among the six teaching assistants who arrived so far, two met with City Lord Qiuyue, and I don’t know the situation afterwards. Four others have lost contact with Ninglan New City; we only know they left Ninglan New City and went to the outside world.”

”Very consistent with my knowledge of them.”

I nodded.

That meeting yesterday lasted a long time, and quite a few people attended.

After a day, only six arrived; indeed not many.

But these few who came in a hurry definitely have other intentions.

As for those two meeting Ninglan Qiuyue... I guess it might be related to the Witch’s Secret Realm Club.

After all, meeting Ninglan Qiuyue as soon as they arrive, there’s a high probability they are teaching assistants related to Ninglan Qiuyue.

”However, you see me now; I am busy with something.”

”Busy... this, but matters at the Extraordinary Association can actually be delayed a little. Outside Ninglan New City, there have already gathered more than...”

”I know, refugees. I have briefly understood it. Aren’t you guys facing a language barrier? I am helping you solve this problem right now.”

I interrupted Mo Le’s rhetoric and said.

I naturally know he is very anxious, but being anxious is no use.

What can I do alone?

Can’t possibly ask me to go out and hack all those refugees to death, right?

Or let me lead the City Defense Army to reason with them?

Please, I have zero experience leading troops.

What kind of frantic medical seeking is this?

Can’t do it.

Doing things always requires taking it step by step.

”Wait... Scholar Xiao Han, you understand the language of those people?”

Mo Le reacted at this moment.

”Yes, this Scholar Xiao Han understands some mainstream languages of those people. It is the foundation for us to communicate with those people currently.”

At this time, Shen Tule answered this question for me from the side, ”What use is it for you to call Scholar Xiao Han away at this time? Do you want Scholar Xiao Han to face those refugees directly?”

”Apologies, Mr. Shen, I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to express my rather urgent mood.”

Mo Le naturally knew this Shen Tule, Old Man Shen.

His work ”Light of the Ruins” is a household name in Ninglan New City.

The meaning of survival and human morality and responsibility discussed in the book are presented through the characters’ inner monologues, informing people how to maintain the bottom line of humanity and morality in an increasingly extreme survival environment.

This is a masterwork of books on philosophy and morality in the literary world of Ninglan New City.

Even he would open this book to read from time to time.

After all, the influence of this book on him was also very huge.

”Alright, I understand your feelings. To be honest, I still prefer a more straightforward way of speaking. If you are just purely waiting for the Witch Academy to send out teaching assistants one by one to help you unconditionally, I think you should stop daydreaming.”

I interrupted their conversation at this moment.

”In the eyes of most people, your value is not as good as those resources outside the city, such as the extraordinary energy mining areas you explored. Maybe when their greed is filled, perhaps they will show mercy and come over to help you symbolically.”

”But... greed cannot be filled.”

Mo Le spoke with a slightly low voice.

”Correct, that’s why I said stop daydreaming.”

I responded with a smile.

”Then we...”

”You only need to preserve yourselves in the coming shock. That is your victory.”

”What do you mean?”

”The Witch Academy never does meaningless things. Last time, the Nightmare Demon invaded Ninglan New City, so we were forced to enter the scene. And this time, the situation is no longer limited to Ninglan New City. This is the beginning of a second trial... Oh I seem to have said something extraordinary. Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

”You... does your Witch Academy have no...”

”Then is your Ninglan New City willing to become a campus of the Witch Academy? The whole city transfers to the Main World, no more Ninglan New City in the world. The Witch Academy will immediately support with full force and solve all troubles in the Expansion Realm.”

Another hypothesis of mine directly gagged Mo Le.

I naturally know soldiers are purer and won’t care about so many twists and turns, but as the highest officer, he can’t be full of hot blood in his head.

The Witch Academy is this cruel.

I just tore open the beautiful illusion for them to see.

”Don’t be so excited. Excitement solves no problems. Don’t let emotions sway your thinking.”

At this time, my tone also softened.

I naturally didn’t want to make the relationship very stiff at this juncture, ”Any problem can be solved through communication. Solving the language problem, don’t you think this is a great breakthrough point?”

”Apologies... I thought too simply about this matter.”

Mo Le calmed down at this moment, remembering the professionalism of the City Defense Army.

But the pressure on him was really too great.

After all, he was still a human, an ordinary person.

”You indeed thought too simply. Things naturally have to come step by step. Even without me, you should be like this. You block the trouble outside the city, while Mr. Shen and the others solve difficulties for you in the rear.”

”Yes.”

”But since I came, you indeed don’t need to take it step by step.”

At this moment, I changed the topic and said.

”Scholar Xiao Han, you indeed have a way, right?”

Hearing my words, Mo Le felt like he was on a roller coaster; a trace of joy was revealed without concealment.

Hearing this tone of mine, naturally, there is a way to deal with it!

”The key still lies in communication.”

After finishing this sentence, I snapped my fingers immediately, and then a spell was released without anyone noticing.

”I naturally know communication, but if Scholar Xiao Han, you don’t cooperate with us, just starting now to let others learn a brand new language temporarily, who knows how long it will take...”

”I know, so what I refer to isn’t what you think. I mastered a spell, won’t talk about the principle. Its name is Shadow of Knowledge, which is this one in your eyes.”

After I finished speaking, another me appeared in Mo Le’s line of sight at this moment.

”This... is this the Avatar Technique?”

Mo Le widened his eyes upon seeing it.

”You can understand it like that, but only you can see her, and she doesn’t have any physical body. But she knows a lot of information. You can also converse with her. She can help you complete temporary translation work, and will also teach you how to communicate with the other party.”

”There is actually such a spell?!”

”Yes, but this method is only temporary. The main thing is still for your people in Ninglan New City to learn these languages to communicate with those people. I cannot stay in Ninglan New City forever, you should understand, right?”

”I naturally know this.”

”I will organize manpower well to learn these languages.”

Shen Tule also spoke up from the side.

Although he couldn’t see the Shadow of Knowledge I mentioned, he didn’t think Mo Le and I would lie to him.

Perhaps in his heart, he estimated that the means of witches were just this omnipotent.

”Since it’s like this, can you stop troubling me, okay? You go do your own things well. If there is anything, wait until I finish this matter of mine, then tell me.”

”Understood!”

After witnessing the opponent’s means so intuitively, Mo Le had no complaints.

Now with such a temporary translation officer, he can do more things.

At least he feels that with his means plus this ability, he can alleviate the pressure currently facing Ninglan New City.

”Don’t be in a hurry to leave first.”

”Does Scholar Xiao Han have anything else to instruct?”

”Just to explain the usage instructions of this Shadow of Knowledge to you.”

I pointed to that Shadow of Knowledge beside him and explained, ”When I am not controlling her, her logic of action is controlled by your own subconsciousness. Any of her behaviors are things your subconscious thinks I should do. If the Shadow of Knowledge does something uncooperative, reflect on yourself whether you have any prejudice against me, and do not doubt my means. Do you understand?”

”So it’s like this? I understand.”

Mo Le nodded heavily.

Didn’t expect that just a spell actually had so many intricacies.

”By the way, is just you alone enough? If not enough, let me cast the spell on these few beside you as well, or do you want to go back and pick some capable ones and come find me again? I should still stay at the Extraordinary Association for a period of time currently.”

”This... sorry to trouble Scholar Xiao Han. These few beside me are people I trust very much.”

Mo Le reacted at this moment.

He seemed to have been a bit over-excited.

Thinking about it now, it was indeed so.

One translator who can only follow beside him is definitely not enough, and needing to do everything personally... just thinking about those refugees surrounded outside, his scalp tingled a bit.

”May I ask, after casting the spell on these few, can I transfer another batch of people over when I go back?”

”Hoh Fleecing my wool? Alright, it’s not troublesome anyway.”

I waved my hand indicating no problem, and also indicating for him to stop being a hindrance here.

Seeing that he was finally about to leave, and not even half of his body had walked out of the association gate, I shifted my attention back.

”Old Shen, let’s go. I think we need to get busy now too.”
