Chapter 278: Mastering the Languages of Ten Thousand Races!

The shell slowly opened, immediately revealing a seven-colored light to the eyes.

"What fruit is this?"

Even though Gervas had seen much, he could not help but widen his eyes.

Although he was not clear on the true variety of this fruit.

But in this world, the more light, the more precious it is.

The previous Life Fruit was like this, and the Holy Light Fruit was like this too.

Thus, this fruit that Waga gave to you himself obviously would not be simple.

"It is... it is a fruit that enables communication; I was able to communicate with other races only after eating it!"

"A fruit that enables communication?! Waga, are you really giving it to me?"

Gervas was stunned; although he had prepared himself mentally, he did not expect it to be such a precious fruit.

Even in his previous life, the importance of language far exceeded any technology.

Not to speak of communicating with animals; even if you could master all human languages, that would make you an outstanding talent.

Therefore, in a world with thousands of races, the importance of this fruit rises straight up.

"Gervas, you are a good person; this fruit is the most... most suitable gift for you!"

Gervas confirmed once more and no longer acted pretentious.

Because for this ability, he was truly very envious.

Moreover, this was the first time in two lives that he felt so willingly accepting a "good person" card.

"Waga! Then I will not be polite!"

Gervas picked up the seven-colored fruit and swallowed it directly into his belly.

A warm current quickly appeared, then shot straight to the crown of his head.

This feeling was just like when he ate the Wisdom Fruit back then.

However, this time the effect was not merely on the spiritual sea of the mind, but on the entire brain.

Instantly, Gervas felt his head swell terribly.

If not for his powerful willpower suppressing it, he would probably have rolled on the ground twice.

Fortunately, this uncomfortable feeling came quickly and went quickly.

In just over thirty seconds, everything returned to normal.

"Elder Gervas, are you alright?"

"I... I am alright!" Gervas shook his head.

Upon hearing Gervas's reply, Waga immediately widened his eyes.

Because Gervas had actually answered using their merfolk language.

"Uh..." Gervas also paused for a moment.

Although before he had jokingly spoken some simple merfolk words with Waga and the others.

Such as hello, goodbye, thank you, and so on.

But that was merely imitation, and because the pronunciation was different, speaking it was very awkward, feeling as if his tongue were twisted together.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to subconsciously use the merfolk language.

But after eating this fruit, he subconsciously felt that using this language to communicate with Waga was more appropriate.

Although there was still some slight stuttering, he no longer felt his tongue twisting.

"Excellent! Elder Gervas, you succeeded! You can also communicate with other merfolk!"

Waga beamed with joy.

Gervas also showed a happy smile. "Waga! Thank you for your gift! By the way... I also have a gift... for you!"

Afterwards, Gervas took out a monocular telescope.

After learning that Waga had a gift to give him, he had actually prepared a return gift long ago.

"So beautiful! Gervas, what is it?"

"It... it is called a monocular telescope!"

Afterwards, Gervas taught Waga how to use the monocular telescope!

And for this beautiful and miraculous telescope, Waga was naturally overjoyed.

Although it could not be used underwater, they merfolk often went ashore, so it still had some use.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Gervas asked Waga to keep secret the fact that he could now communicate with all races.

Although these subordinates of his certainly would not harm him.

But with many mouths, if it spread outside, it would inevitably invite trouble.

Moreover, shouting "wu-wa wu-wa" in front of his subordinates was too shameful.

Therefore, only in places without humans would Gervas use the merfolk language to communicate directly with them in the future.

Waga did not understand, but he still listened very closely to Gervas's words and immediately solemnly agreed.

After the two continued chatting for a while, the trade at the seaside was completed.

The total trade amount reached two or three hundred gold coins.

Of course, this was the value of the merfolk's goods.

And the value of the goods Gervas gave them was naturally much higher.

But even so, the merfolk were delighted.

Especially those new races that joined besides the Buwa Clan.

After following the Buwa Clan to trade, they obtained iron tools that were extremely rare in the past.

Not only was daily life more convenient, but hunting efficiency had also increased greatly.

This also meant that their lives were constantly improving.

"Elder Gervas!"

Waga's father walked over at this moment.

Just now, he had led the tribe members in counting the goods together.

It was not a lack of trust in Storm Territory, but rather Gervas had requested it himself.

Even brothers settle accounts clearly; he did not want to ruin the relationship between both sides over small matters.

After all, he, Gervas, would certainly not sacrifice the big for the small.

But he could not guarantee that every subordinate possessed such high awareness.

"Tribal Chief Torka! Is... is the transaction complete?"

"It is complete, Elder Gervas. Thanks to you, we can return fully loaded... uh, Elder Gervas, what did you just say?" Torka stopped halfway, suddenly widening his eyes.

"I said, is your transaction complete?" Gervas, his smile unchanging, repeated it again in Fishman language.

"This... this... Elder Gervas, you can actually speak Fishman language? By the Sea God, how is this possible? It is truly miraculous and wonderful!" Torka rushed forward excitedly, dancing with joy; his fish eyes were already big, but now widened even further, truly like bronze bells.

"Tribal Chief Torka, I must thank Waga; he gave me the fruit that allows communication with Fishmen!"

"Waga? You brat, you didn't even tell me!" Torka looked at Waga with a pout.

Waga lowered his head, "I... I was afraid Father would refuse!"

"You... you brat, is Father such a stingy person? Father would be overjoyed to communicate better with Elder Gervas!"

"The fact that our Buwa Tribe is in its current state is all thanks to Elder Gervas!"

"Otherwise, our entire tribe would already be destroyed!"

"Moreover, I hope the Buwa Tribe will continue to improve in the future, so do you think I want Elder Gervas to be able to communicate with us Fishmen at any time, or do I need you to translate every single time?" Torka was furious.

"I'm sorry, Father!" Waga lowered his head even further!

"You should apologize; regarding this matter, you concealed the truth from your father!"

"However, fortunately, the result is very good!"

Torka looked at Gervas again, "Elder Gervas, would you like to go to the seabed with us to tell this good news to all tribe members? I believe they will be very happy!"

"Moreover, I think this is a cause for celebration; it must be celebrated in the tribe, and even other tribes should know about it!"

"Let's skip it this time! I have important matters to attend to when I go out to sea later; when I have free time in the future, I will definitely return to the tribe!" Gervas politely declined.

"Go out to sea? Important matters? Could it be to fight?"

Torka naturally saw the three hundred-plus elite soldiers waiting in the distance.

Furthermore, he noticed that Gervas's three sea ships were all docked at the pier.

Normally, these sea ships were almost always sailing.

"That's right; today a group of pirates will appear along the Storm Territory coastline; I must go and eliminate them!"

"Pirates? You mean the bandits of your Human Race? Elder Gervas, then let our Fishman warriors go with you!" Upon hearing this, Torka volunteered.
