Chapter 529 Parting
"Maybe they are brother and sister, but they are not biological brothers. After all, the brother seemed to say that the sister's mother was his teacher... and the brother felt that there was danger down there, and the sister wanted to take this opportunity to explore down there. The brother finally agreed, and the sister thanked him... That's about it."
In order to prevent Xiao Wu, Romantina and others from making rash guesses, Zhou Qing reluctantly described the parts he understood.
When A-Bo heard that Zhou Qing actually understood the general meaning of their conversation, he was also slightly surprised. He said in the Douluo Continent common language which was more fluent than Li Ke: "You actually understood our language?"
Now, Xiao Wu, Romantina, and Wang Sheng were all surprised. They didn't expect that Zhou Qing actually understood the Abyss language.
But Tang San was not surprised.
After all, there are some books related to ancient characters in the outside world. Zhou Qing often reads them and even studies them. It is reasonable for him to know some of the Abyss language.
Zhou Qing also explained this to the old man, and asked him: "Teacher, do you know the meaning of Romantina's name?"
"Romantina?"
A'bo looked at the "tall" Romantina and said, "Your name is very beautiful. In our language, Romantina actually means romantic. It is translated into the common language of Douluo Continent as 'Romantic', which means romance. And 'Na' generally refers to beautiful women. Therefore, the meaning of the name Romantina is the beauty of romance."
Romantina was also surprised that her name had this meaning. You know, most of the documents about another language on the continent have been lost. People with strange names like her can only know the past through a few words passed down by word of mouth.
When her father Romanak named her, he used Roman as his surname. Tina, "Ti" means flower bud, and "Na" refers to a beautiful woman in the common language of Douluo Continent. Only the surname "Roman" is a bit confusing.
Only now did she know that the word "roman" actually came from "romantic", which means romantic.
"In fact, if it just refers to 'Roman', that is, Roman, it also has another meaning."
Aber continued, "First, it is a place name, and it also refers to a type of people in that place, the Romans, or the Romans, just like we are called Abyssians by the outside world."
Tang San and others nodded, thinking this was reasonable.
But Zhou Qing was secretly going crazy. He knew that Roman meant Romans, but hearing the word "Rome" from Abiss was...
Rome?
Isn’t this a bit abstract?
Could it be that in the more distant past, this Douluo Continent was Earth? But later, due to some accident, history went astray?
Or maybe, the ancestors of all humans in Douluo Continent came from Earth?
After all, the human body structure in the world view of the Douluo series seems to be the same. The great god king Tang was reincarnated in Douluo Five and can still practice the Xuantian Gong based on the eight extraordinary meridians...
"Besides that, Roman has another meaning: a believer in angels."
Aber continued, "According to the historical documents I studied, Roman was the most devout believer in angels 20,000 years ago."
"My ancestors were believers in angels?"
Romantina was a little confused. Once she learned about history, she found that her ancestors seemed to be related to a certain "god" in ancient times.
But she quickly accepted it.
But she herself does not think that her "guardian" will comes from some inexplicable angel, but is her own choice. Perhaps her ancient ancestors were guardian angels, but she, Romantina, is to protect the people and their good life!
However, Zhou Qing had a strange look on his face.
Because the word Roman really means Roman Catholics, and Zhou Qing does not fully understand the specific form of rule of Spirit Hall, but there are indeed specific words that only exist in Catholicism, such as Pope and Cardinal.
"Maybe. After all, these are just history from 20,000 years ago. The authenticity is still unknown." A-Bo said calmly, and then he talked about exploring the ruins of the abyss. "You came here to participate in the so-called Continental Elite Finals, right? Do you really have time to explore down there? But for us, we are not very happy with the fact that you vent your strength by fighting each other."
Everyone already knew that the Abyss people didn't like fighting. After all, the Lord of Tianming City had initially invited the mayor of Abyss Town to preside over the event, but the mayor declined and only ordered the Explorers' Guild to suspend the use of the descending metal platform so that the finals could proceed.
The Abyss people admit that there is indeed an instinctive urge to "move" in the human body, but if this urge is used to explore the unknown, it will play a greater role.
Just like the town of Abyss, although Aber had never been out, he learned from some foreign soul masters that the town of Abyss might not be able to compare with the main city-level cities in the outside world in terms of building scale and luxury of life, but in terms of soul guides and mechanical inventions in life, it is far ahead of the outside world.
"We only have three days, so we won't go too deep, maybe to the third or fourth floor." Zhou Qing said, "So you can rest assured, we will come up in three days."
However, Li Ke's face was full of praise: "At most, we are only going to the fourth floor?"
"Don't underestimate the fourth floor. The ascent curse on that floor is very serious. You will bleed all over and feel intense pain. If you can't make it, you may even die from the pain." A'bo's eyes became extremely serious at this moment, but compared to his healing round face, he looked a little cute. "Even some Black Flute explorers chose to stay there because they couldn't bear the ascent pain."
"Of course I know that."
Riko's eyes sharpened.
"Is that so?"
Aber sighed, knowing that for Riko, being a tour guide for these outsiders was only temporary. Since she had chosen to go to the second floor, she had no plans to come up again, but was prepared to continue exploring downwards.
Looking for her mother...
This is just one of the purposes.
Fifteen years ago, Li Ke was handed over to this student by her mother, who told him:
When Riko musters up the courage to explore downwards, do not stop her, because everyone has their own choices. It is enough to wish her to find the meaning of life in the process of exploring the abyss.
"I hope that during your exploration, you will not forget the residents and friends of Abyss Town."
Aber knew that he couldn't stop Riko, not because he couldn't restrain her by force, but because as an explorer, he couldn't restrict Riko's personal freedom.
"Absolutely not!"
Li Ke nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes, because she knew that if she went down this time, she might not be able to come up again.
Because she absolutely could not withstand the rising curse of the third level and below of the Abyss Ruins.
But, for her mother, she had to go!
This is her choice!
