576 No chance

"name?"

Major General Li was slightly stunned. It could be seen that he had really not considered this issue.

"Yes, you can't call the People's Liberation Army, right? If you still use this name, you will easily be misunderstood. If you meet a more radical guy, you might fight directly."

Sawyer is not a threat. Before the Battle of the Kings, many organizations opposed the ring system appeared in the middle and late stages of the Gray Mist Clan, and most of the names of the organizations were in the styles of "Liberators" and "Freedom Brotherhood". The name "People's Liberation Army" does sound like a revived opposition organization.

After hearing Soya's explanation, Major General Li also took it seriously, but he did not make a decision on the spot: "This is indeed a problem, but I think it is still necessary to discuss with others before making a decision."

"It's not a hurry, I'm just a reminder."

At noon the next day, Sawyer met Major General Li on the way to the restaurant. Two experts followed Major General Li to see where they came...

"Why, come here to find me, have you figured out your name?"

Looking at Major General Li who was rushing to come, Sawyer joked, but he didn't expect Major General Li nodded solemnly: "Yes, but when naming, it was named in Chinese, and translated into Old Noord, I always feel a little strange, so I would like to ask you to take a look."

After saying this, Sawyer understood that if he was in this world, it would be quite simple to translate Chinese into Tamrier. After all, Tamrier's common language has been improved for thousands of years, and it is extremely rich in both vocabulary and some allusions. Even if you want to express some Chinese sentences with profound meaning, it can be translated very accurately.

But Old Noord is different. If the Tamrier common language is a more perfect modern English, then Old Noord is an early Anglo-Saxon language mixed with hieroglyphs. Not only is the relatively scarce vocabulary, but a single word has multiple morphological changes and meanings. Sometimes the same sentence can express two or even more meanings in different contexts.

This is like a sentence in Chinese with multiple meanings. For example, the reason for being single may be because no one likes it, or it may be because no one likes it, or it may be because no one likes it.

This is simply to make things difficult for foreigners to die.

In Old Noble, this situation is very common. The most bizarre example is that a master's cultivation note was interpreted as romance by an unknown person. After the master passed away, he also won a literary award. It was not until the master's adopted son appeared and said that the public's understanding was reversed.

Of course, this is something that happened hundreds of years ago. After hundreds of years of improvement, the current Old Noble German language can express its meaning more accurately at least in daily terms. Therefore, when teaching newcomers to learn Old Noble, including the two linguistic experts, Sawyer only taught them daily terms that were less changed.

As for the complex vocabulary and changes, Sawyer just bought a few language textbooks and threw them to the two linguistic experts.

So the situation is clear now.

"So, what name did you give me?"

"Yanhuang Blade," Major General Li added after he finished speaking, "It's just a memory."

Today's time travelers already know that it will be difficult for them to return to Earth. Even if they have the opportunity to go back in the future, it will be a matter of hundreds of years, and for the fact that they have been in fire for hundreds of years...

At least Major General Li himself does not have that confidence.

Suoya could naturally see Major General Li's mentality, but he did not point it out, but just gave this name to the point of view: "Yanhuang Blade is good, but the word Yanhuang cannot be translated! There are no two characters in this world, Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor."

Major General Li nodded, and he naturally understood this truth: "I also know, so the Blade of Yanhuang is called internally. For externally, we are going to call it 'Blade of Flame and Gold'. This name should be fine."

"No problem, it feels like the name of a mercenary group, and it won't attract excessive attention, but if you translate... are you having any questions about the wording?"

Sawyer immediately understood that in Old Noble, there are three common nouns that can express the meaning of "gold", and there are as many as five nouns that can express the meaning of "fire" or "fire". These words can also express other meanings at the same time, so if used incorrectly, it may cause misunderstanding.

In fact, this question is not difficult, but the two linguistic experts only have basic Old Noord textbooks and a common word dictionary. In this world with low knowledge popularity, the former is only equivalent to a primary school student's Chinese textbook, while the latter only indicates the meaning that vocabulary can express, and does not mark the most commonly used meaning. It is no wonder they are difficult.

"Just use these two words." After thinking about it, Sawyer walked to the wall next to him and carved two words on the stone slab. "The most commonly used definition of this word is 'gold', and it can also express the two meanings of 'noble quality' and 'firm heart'. The original meaning of this word is 'flame', but now it can also be extended to the meaning of 'energy', 'strong power', 'guardian' and 'original'. How about it? Are you still satisfied?"

"certainly!"

Listening to Sawyer's explanation, Major General Li's eyes lit up, and the two experts next to him nodded and recognized the name, especially after Sawyer completed the name "Blade of Flame and Gold", Major General Li and the other two liked it.

However, Sawyer himself was a little unable to complain. The first word that represents "gold" is easy to say. Using gold to symbolize "noble quality" and "firm heart" has similar applications even in Chinese. The latter one is completely a local specialty of the city-wide world. "Flame" and "energy" are still related, and can barely extend the meaning of "strong power", but the two meanings of "guarding" and "original" are completely the meaning given by this world.

After all, whether it is the shelter that protects people or the origin of this world, it is closely related to "fire".
