55. It's normal for a swordsman to have other skills, right?

"In the year 521 of the Sea Round Calendar, the Long-Armed Tribe and the Long-Legged Tribe engaged in their first ancestral war, resulting in a significant loss of lives from both tribes."
"The two races began to hate each other, and the war has not ceased until the time of my recording."
"Roy sat directly in front of the main gate of the Tree of Omniscience, holding the documents that troubled the female scholar, and began reading."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Kuroha quickly waved her hand and took the document in the other person's hand, personally examining it.
"This is a form of writing that disappeared eight hundred years ago. How did you understand it? Could it be... that you two are not just ordinary pirates?" Kuroha looked at the two people with confusion.
He has a great interest in the identities of these two individuals!
Just now, Roy wagered with the female scholar's document as the stakes, betting on whether he could translate the text written on it.
Kuroha also agreed and watched him translate.
Then, Roy translated it for real as the other party listened.
Kuroha looked at the words in the document, and he only recognized a small portion. Roy could only understand seven or eight words when reciting that section...
"Our bet is that if I can translate it, we can go in and have a tour, and also read some literature books."
"If I can't translate it, then we will turn around and leave, right?"
Roy looked at Scholar Kuroha and smiled.
"Uh, y-yeah..." Kuroha nodded, looking puzzled at Roy. "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you earlier..."
"I was impolite, and I apologize sincerely!" Kuroha quickly apologized and paused for a moment. "Nevertheless, since you have such a deep background in history research, why did you become companions of pirates?"
"Historian? These are just words my grandfather taught me. I'm not a historian, I'm just an ordinary person," Roy shook his head.
But to Kuroha's ears, these words were filled with an air of vanity~
The fact is actually similar. Roy is only able to recognize a nearly extinct script because he spent time eight hundred years ago.
What Roy finds most surreal is the language.
He stayed eight hundred years ago and now he is in eight hundred years later, but he found that although the text has changed, the spoken language is still Japanese...
At that time, he was also in this situation, but the other party didn't find it strange at all.
Miracle......
"Oh, then your grandpa must be an extraordinary historian? I wonder where he is now..." Kuroha looked excitedly at Roy, as if she had found an elderly historian and a language genius!
"Grandpa was just an ordinary adventurer, he... is no longer with us," Roy said quietly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked..." Kuroha looked apologetic at Roy. "Oh, by the way, you want to see the documents, right? Sure, please follow me!"
At this moment, Kuroha no longer cared about his identity.
He felt that a child of such a young age, who could learn this kind of obscure and difficult language, must not be a bad child!
Affirmation from historians!
Tian Yue surprisedly followed Roy, glancing at the words on the document just now. She found them somewhat familiar, but only recognized a few characters.
"It seems like... it's a character from a neighboring country?" Tsiying was extremely surprised. Before she crossed over, there was a character in the neighboring country that was remarkably similar to the one Roy was saying aloud.
However, the one she was most familiar with was a different ancient language."
Ai, this pair, everyone remembers an ancient text, if Kuroha were to know, he would definitely go crazy with excitement.
"What's next? Keep reading!" Kuroha handed the book to Roy and turned the page.
Roy muttered a few words intermittently, and then stared at Kuroha.
"What's the matter?" Kuroha asked anxiously, looking at him.
"I don't recognize it anymore. I didn't study hard." Roy pretended to regret, saying that he actually recognized it, but just didn't want to continue reading.
At the age of only 7, knowing a nearly extinct script from 800 years ago, Roy feels... this is too flashy!
If he wins the bet, that's basically it. He's just here to browse, not to be a historian.
Encountering books with such text is merely a coincidence.
"Do you recognize this...?" Kuroha sought help from Tengetsu.
Tengetsu frowned and shook their head.
Kuroha's mood instantly became overwhelmingly bad, like having a great meal and someone suddenly flipping the table.
Pain!
"Sometimes, the study of historical truth, without the power to protect oneself appropriately, only brings 'destruction'," Roy sighed as he looked at the desolate Kuroha.
They are too impatient.
"Are there any more books with this kind of writing? I want to see if there are any that I can understand a little bit," Roy said, and Kuroha instantly raised their head, full of energy!
"Follow me, I know where it is!" Kuroha led the way, with Roy and Tianshui following behind.
Along the way, Kuroha occasionally introduced them to the scholars who studied history within the Tree of Omniscience.
"I have found these few books so far, and there are some more that I need to find..." Kuroha brought over four books and placed them on the table.
In the space within the Tree of Omniscience, which is filled with a vast collection of books, people are individually searching through and studying materials for historical research, comparisons, translations, and other tasks.
Everyone is very quiet, occasionally someone will quietly exchange opinions.
Kuroha sits behind Roy, just watching him flip through books.
"Do we have water?" Roy inquired.
"Are you thirsty? I'll go get some water for you, wait a moment," Kuroha nodded and hurriedly went to fetch water for the little one.
Roi looked at the words above, while Amano Tsukiko glanced at him.
"Roy's grandfather is really an impressive person." Tian Yue exclaimed.
Not long after, Kuroha returned with water, surprised to see Roy writing something in his notebook.
"The water is here, how is it?" he quickly asked.
"It's alright, I translated a few sentences." Roy handed over the notebook and took the water cup.
Kuroha quickly looked at it, surprised repeatedly.
"When are you leaving?" Kurohaha hurriedly asked, suddenly feeling a bit reluctant to let go of this "little pirate."
"We'll leave in a few days. After all, I'm not really into studying history," Roy replied with a smile and shook his head.
His interest in his wives has grown significantly!!!
"What a pity!" Kuroh suddenly felt like he was wasting talent.
Roy politely smiled at him. As a swordsman, he knew some ancient languages. Occasionally, the impact of his fist was even greater than that of a sword, which actually made sense~!
The next day.
When Roy was practicing swordsmanship in the forest early in the morning, Kuroha came running and found him, holding a document in his hand.
"I found another document in that language, we can study...
Ai???
Are you really just a swordsman??"
Kuroha looked at Roy, who was practicing swordsmanship, in shock.
Roy, at this moment, cut down a big tree with one sword and turned back to look: "Yeah."
