Chapter 5 Foreign Language Learning
Nothing happened that night.
Since transmigrating to this world, Luo Qi has been sleeping in the wilderness for more than half a month, and dares not sleep too deeply every night.
Today, protected by the village walls and guarded by the goblin spirits, Luo Qi had the most restful sleep he'd ever had.
When he woke up, Misfield was busy preparing breakfast in the church kitchen.
The pioneering village was short of supplies, with limited food ingredients and very rudimentary cooking utensils.
But the pastor was very serious.
Carrots, turnips, peas... I would pray for a while before processing each ingredient, and the ordinary vegetables would radiate a warm glow under the baptism of divine magic.
The dark bread, which had been sitting for who knows how long, regained its freshly baked aroma under the baptism of divine magic.
The children in the church surrounded the girl; some were helping her in a very professional manner, while others were eagerly waiting for the meal to be served.
Soon after, a sweet aroma wafted from the earthenware pot.
"Good morning, Mr. Luo Qi!"
Misfield found a moment of free time and greeted them with a smile.
"Good morning."
Upon seeing that smile, Luo Qi inexplicably felt the sweet scent in the air become even stronger.
Noticing that the girl was very busy, Luo Qi went over to the noisy children and helped the girl distribute breakfast, while also collecting her own portion.
"I just heard these children call you 'Mosa,' does that word mean pastor? If you don't mind, may I call you that?"
Luo Qi pondered for a moment, then mimicked the children's pronunciation: "Hmm... Mosa?"
Although the supernatural powers in this world have an effect similar to instant translation, Luo Qi still spends a lot of time learning the language of this region from the girl. After all, there are only a few supernatural beings in this region, and the vast majority of people are ordinary people who have not yet awakened their spirituality.
Learning the language of this world is essential to obtaining information from more people and to avoid being misled by a group of people.
In the dozen or so hours since she met the pastor, Luo Qi has learned nearly fifty words: one, two, three; you, me, him; up, middle, down...
Luo Qi felt that if he expanded these commonly used words by two times, he would be able to communicate with the locals by guessing and some guesswork.
He didn't think achieving this goal would be difficult; with the help of the pastor, it would take at most ten days.
"Mosa" seems to be another commonly used term of address.
"No...you can't!"
Misfield was surprisingly flustered, quite unlike his usual calm demeanor when facing goblins.
The girl, her face slightly flushed, explained, "This word means... mother."
"Mother?"
Luo Qi was stunned for a moment.
Indeed...
"Um... breakfast was pretty good today." Luo Qi awkwardly changed the subject.
Upon closer tasting, the mixed vegetable soup does indeed have a "mom's flavor," and the pastor's cooking skills are quite good, perfectly infusing emotion into the dishes.
In any case, he learned another commonly used word from another world.
and.
This vocabulary word is particularly memorable and hard to forget.
After breakfast, the two continued their journey to River Valley.
After walking for a while in an somewhat awkward atmosphere, Misfield took the initiative to explain, "Those children are orphans adopted by the Silvermoon Church. Well, I was just like them back then."
"These children are starved for love; they will show great enthusiasm if you just show them a little care."
The girl paused for a moment. "I'm not saying that Pastor Lance did a bad job. That gentleman did not violate the requirements of the canon at all, and provided the children with enough food and basic education. It's just that he was the second son of a nobleman before joining the church, and he couldn't empathize with the children."
"Mr. Lance's protection is far more meaningful than the insignificant thing I did."
"If this goblin attack delays the harvest season, the children in Village 21 who once had parental love will end up like these pitiful children!"
Luo Qi sensed the pressure the girl was under from her words.
"Things aren't that bad yet. If the adventurers we've invited this time are strong enough, the village's crisis might be resolved."
When the two arrived in River Valley Town, it was lunchtime. The small town was bustling with food vendors—adventurers, whose profession is high-risk and high-reward, usually don't skimp on food and drink.
"Sir, would you like some alfalfa cakes? They're the Rabbit People's special alfalfa cakes—delicious and filling!"
As Luo Qi passed by a little girl with long rabbit ears, she suddenly heard some words she could understand.
This made him take a curious look.
Although the vendors in River Valley Town were shouting loudly, they were just ordinary people, and Luo Qi couldn't understand their language at all. Their gibberish was similar to what the goblins had shouted before.
Only those who have awakened their spiritual powers can communicate successfully with Luo Qi.
only……
"Would superhumans also become street vendors?"
Although Misfield appears destitute, the main reason for her predicament is her devout faith and her obedient adherence to the rules of the Silver Moon Church.
Once she relinquishes her responsibilities, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to become wealthy with her extraordinary abilities.
Even so, she was considered the number two in a group of nearly two hundred people... and in special circumstances, she could even be considered the number one.
Luo Qi originally thought it was already very strange for a superhuman to have become like a priestess.
Unexpectedly, they encountered an even stranger superhuman as soon as they arrived in a slightly more bustling area.
"Doross!"
A loud shout suddenly came from the street.
Luo Qi noticed that the rabbit-eared girl's ears drooped immediately after hearing the voice.
"Captain!"
"Do you still think I'm the captain?! If that's the case, why are you still selling these weeds here? Are you really going to ruin the reputation of the Rose Gang?!" A woman in plate armor said coldly.
"But..." the bunny-eared girl wanted to argue.
"There are no 'buts'!"
The woman in plate armor said sternly, "River Valley is full of scouts like you. If I see you here as a vendor again, get out of the Rose Guild and be a vendor forever!"
The bunny-eared girl clenched her fist.
She doesn't understand!
There's no mission right now, and everyone else in the team is either at the tavern or the outpatient clinic, so why can't she help her mother sell things?
Most adventurers earn a good income, but some always have a heavier burden on their shoulders.
"Go and keep watch at the guild, lest other teams snatch away the right commissions again!" the plate-armored woman instructed.
The bunny-eared girl took a deep breath, carefully tidied up the cookies, squeezed a smile at the corner of her mouth, and walked towards the three-story building not far away.
