Chapter 10 Out of the Sea of ??Trees
The most commonly used language and text in the multiverse world is called Common Language, which is a spelling text composed of 34 letters. However, because races are not limited to humans, each different race generally has its own dedicated language and text.
For example, Elvish, Dwarf, Halfling, Gnome, Draconic, etc.
What is even more incredible is that as a time traveler, I have no problem communicating with the locals, and I seem to be able to switch to any language freely, and even all texts can be read and written easily.
This feeling is quite strange, just like after learning to ride a bicycle, you will never forget it even if you don't ride it for decades. It seems more like it has become an instinct.
After discovering this, I sang Chinese songs on Earth to my subordinate Ravna. It was said that to her, they were perfectly translated into common language, and the lyrics all rhymed very well, without any sense of dissonance.
But when she recited the lyrics again, I found that there was a slight difference compared with the original lyrics. It may be that she automatically made a certain degree of change in order to translate into common language and rhyme. The original meaning did not change much, so if it is limited to
Communication doesn't matter.
And how this ability came about is really puzzling to me. Is it because of the Demon King system?
But if I think about it carefully, the Demon King system was only activated when I agreed to become the Demon King, but I could already understand Ravna's words before that, so it should have nothing to do with it.
I can't think of any reliable explanation at the moment, so I can only attribute it to some 'sequelae' caused by time travel.

The Sea of Trees is extremely vast and the environment is quite complex. It has a variety of terrains including swamps and wetlands, and is not just a simple forest.
However, precisely because it is so vast, this area is basically marked as a 'civilized restricted area' on any map.
On the east side of the big tree sea, which can be described as being next to it, there is a small town called Naspar.
From here, you need to go through a large mountain range to the north, and you have to cross highlands and deserted beaches to the east to reach the civilized world. Only about half a day's journey to the south will you reach a fairly prosperous coastal city, which can be said to be a small town.
The location is simply on the edge.
What's even worse is that due to being too marginalized, even caravans basically don't come here. If people in the town want to buy daily necessities, they can only go to the coastal cities in the south to buy in person. Except for a small number who may want to enter the big cities.
Except for adventurers who venture out to dig for treasure in the sea of trees, almost no one comes to this town.
Logically speaking, no one should have settled in such a place, but if we turn back the time twenty years, it would be a different story.
Naspar is a transliteration of the Elvish language, and its original meaning is 'the forward outpost'.
Twenty years ago, when the tyrannical Demon King was still there, his Demon King's City was located deep in the sea of trees. At that time, all the mortal nations in the entire plane felt a real threat. They spent a lot of money to hire and train adventurers, and mobilized the whole country.
We are equipped with the best weapons and magic items, and of course all supplies and supporting facilities are fully prepared.
It was against this background that Naspar was established. Its original purpose was just like the meaning of its name, which was to be an outpost to the depths of the Sea of Trees.
At that time, hundreds of adventurers followed the long-trodden path into the sea of trees and headed for the Demon King's City every day, trying to kill the tyrannical Demon King. All human and financial resources from all aspects gathered here, which was equivalent to creating
Unprecedented prosperity.
With the sudden disappearance of the violent demon king, after countries confirmed that he was really gone, there was no need to continue spending large sums of wealth in this place. As one country after another withdrew funds, a large number of adventurers could not get their money.
Naturally, they will not come back, and the town will become more and more deserted.
As of now, the permanent population of Naspar is less than 5,000, and it is still decreasing. Many people can no longer survive and have no choice but to move and find other jobs.
But since the town still exists after twenty years, it shows that it still has a slight advantage in attracting outsiders.
It is another sunny morning, and the spring morning is still a little chilly. However, compared with the coldness of winter, the spring temperature brings a refreshing and comfortable feeling.
The guards guarding the city opened the city gate and yawned as they began their day's work on guard duty.
Although Naspar is a small town, it is used as an outpost to fight against the tyrannical demon king. It has a large city wall up to 20 meters high, and the entire town is shaped like a pentagon. It is said that when it was established at the time, it was convenient to arrange protective walls.
The curse was designed this way.
The town originally stocked a large amount of living supplies and defense equipment, so despite its small size, in terms of defensive capabilities, it was not inferior to a real solid fortress.
Of course, today, these defensive arrangements are of little use, and because of funding problems, even the guards guarding the city have been dismissed one by one. Today's guards are basically no different from urban management.
As the sun gradually rose, the dew hanging on the branches and grass blades gradually evaporated. Naspar, which should have almost no outsiders, was relatively lively today.
Someone had already set up a shade tent in front of one of the city gates, and placed tables, chairs and other office supplies. At the same time, there were also many people surrounding it, as if something was going on.
At this moment, in the woods next to the sea of trees outside the town, a traveler in a gray cloak pushed aside the vines blocking the road and walked out. He was carrying a rucksack and had a self-defense weapon hanging on his waist.
The dagger appears as a standard social person.
He casually took off his hood, looked in the direction of the city gate, and seemed to be saying to himself:
"This place is bigger than expected. Is it really just a small town?"
"This place was originally used as an outpost to fight against the former Demon King, so it was built particularly strong."
Ravna's voice comes from the shadow at Perenli's feet. This is her innate ability to hide and move in the shadows.
The bread that was given to Perrenli before was actually the reserve food that Ravna bought from Naspar. She had been here many times.
After all, no matter whether a new demon king appears or not, Ravna still needs to eat...
However, her radius of activity is limited to this, and she has not gone further, because she must guard the crystal ball at all times to avoid being away when a new demon king appears.
"Following your order, my subordinates completed the formalities yesterday. You can go directly."
Pei Renli opened his cloak, took out a scroll tied with a red ribbon from the inner pocket, took it and walked towards the tent set up in front of the city gate.
As mentioned just now, Naspar still has a slight attraction to attract outsiders, and this attraction is actually a training school for adventurers.
When the violent demon king was still there, in order to cultivate enough qualified talents, various countries invested in the construction of many supporting facilities in Naspar, and of course schools for training personnel were among them. Even now that the town has declined, every year
There are still some people who come back to study.
The reason is very simple. The existence of the tyrannical demon king has greatly promoted the professionalism of the adventurer profession. Gone are the situations where you dare to call yourself an adventurer and then run to accept commissions when you stand up to a sword.
Nowadays, if you want to become an adventurer, you need to hold a qualification certificate. There are usually only two ways to obtain this qualification certificate.
The first is to successfully graduate from the Adventurer School, and the second is to pass the strict assessment.
The latter does not mention the difficulty of the examination, the handling fee alone is a lot of money, while the former requires two years of study in school to graduate, but the price is much cheaper, and you can also learn something practical, so it is
became the first priority.
Pei Renli needs information and a way to actually survive. Becoming an adventurer is a very good choice.
Due to standardization and professionalization, adventurers have certain privileges in almost all countries. Even if the tyrannical demon king disappears, this privilege has not been completely cancelled.
If you want to learn about this plane and the multiverse world as quickly and safely as possible, having an adventurer identity will save you a lot of trouble, not to mention that the adventurer school will also teach some professional skills.
To put it bluntly, being able to fight is the last word. No matter how professional and standardized, strength is always the top priority for adventurers.
Therefore, you can learn magic or martial arts by going to the Adventurer School. Perrenli must do everything possible to increase the probability of survival before being thrown into the Demon King Arena next time. So after discussing with Ravna, she
It is recommended that Pei Renli come to the Adventurer School.
To put it simply, it has the same meaning as a technical school.
But having said that, Naspar has indeed declined, and the adventurer training school is not unique here. There are not many people who are willing to come to the small town on the edge of civilization.
Including random people, the total number of people gathered at the 'registration office' at the gate of the city is only a few hundred. I can't really expect how long this kind of school can continue to operate.
There was no way, Ravna had only been to Naspar and didn't know about the towns further away, so Perrenli had only one choice.
He was wearing a cloak and easily blended into the crowd.
By the way, even though I learned from Ravna’s mouth that humans are not the only ones in this world, there is still a difference between seeing it with your own eyes and hearing about it.
In addition to the elves and dwarves who often appear in fantasy stories, Perrenli also saw a halfling who was half the size of a normal human, a dwarf with abnormally large arms and head, and a very short stature, and a head
You can also see many half-orcs with ears like beasts, and guys like Ravna with a pair of horns on their foreheads.
He even saw a guy who looked like a human-shaped cat. He was not a girl with cat ears, but a tabby cat man who had been forcibly shaped into a human shape.
——Fu Ruikong is ecstatic!
In addition, there are many races that can be named but not named, and they are very diverse.
Although it was very novel, Pei Renli tried not to show too much curiosity for fear of attracting unnecessary attention.
There weren't many people queuing up to register, and it felt like it only lasted less than five or six minutes. It was Pei Renli's turn soon.
He took a step forward and saw an unknown globe-like object placed on the table under the tent, and the object was placed on a tray connected to something similar to a mechanical typewriter.
"Please put your hands here."
The staff pointed to the ‘globe’:
"Let's measure your abilities"
