Chapter 795 - Preparations

’Pap!’

In a flash, Landon was back in his office again.

It was currently 5 P.M, so there was much he could do for today.

That said, he organized his thoughts and dedicated the next 2 and a half days to prepare for his guests.

The night passed in a blink of an eye.

And before Landon knew it, it was another day.

Great!

He could begin preparations.

.

The first thing he did was gather the most efficient speakers of the Roma language.

Lone should know that ever since it had been added into the school curriculum, everyone had to learn it.

Even the academies, be it Culinary, Law, theatre, and Engineering, had to take these language courses in their respective academies and institutions.

Of course, it was mandatory for the Baymardians.

But anyone else chose whether they wanted to take the courses or not.

Only the Baymardians had to.

Even the military, police academy and various forces were required to it, alongside English.

That’s right!

For 3 whole years now, all secret messages and high-ranking orders were done in English... Except when they were working together with the Caronian soldiers.

English was the military dialect.

Likewise, Chinese was currently used as a native dialect too.

It was very similar to the Pyron language, so it didn’t take any effort for them to learn.

One could hear people speaking Chinese in the stores, or when they wanted to gossip about something.

Because even though it was similar, some sentences meant different things.

.

For the matter of Languages, Landon wanted his people to be very intellectual.

Back on earth, just looking at the Asian community, over 80% could boast of being bilingual.

They knew Japanese, Mandarin, other Asian languages, plus English and sometimes French.

Likewise, even in many African communities, over 95% of people knew several languages too.

From their native tongues to English, French and so on.

One could argue that it was generally those from the first nation countries that knew just a single language.

This typically was because their environments didn’t make them feel the need to learn more languages right from when they were young.

Many became lazy to learn until they later realized the importance of these languages.

But in the majority of regions across the earth, everyone knew at least 2 languages.

Even the Arabs learnt English and French because their homes were the travel destinations to many.

That said, Landon wanted his people to know more and survive no matter where they were.

That’s why he wanted them to be at least bilingual.

And just to make sure that they practiced and spoke these languages, some stores only attended to Customers in Roma or English.

Of course, they also spoke in Pyron if the customer didn’t know both Languages.

But, those who did took this as an opportunity to practice.

.

Again, all merchandise had instructions written in Pyron, English and Roma.

So even if you buy a T.V, the manual will have the instructions in Roma as well.

And, all movies had translations in Roma or English text written below them.

On the cassette cases, the subtitle language is written there.

So people could choose to buy a movie with Roma subtitles, English subtitles, or a movie without any subtitles.

This in a way was a learning opportunity for them.

Even protein bars had various texts in Roma on them.

Landon had been incorporating everything for the future.

That said, even though people who spoke Pyron could speak and communicate with those from the continents of Veinitta and Morgany... In future, the languages Veinit and Morg will still be taught in Baymard.

Yes!

Those languages were 70~90% similar.

But they had slight differences with their past tenses and other grammatical concepts.

It was like comparing the Shakespearean language to the new English.

One could understand it, but one couldn’t deny that they were indeed different.

Landon hoped that with time, he would be able to offer courses in schools that taught all languages in this world.

.

Coming back to the matter at hand, Landon selected several translators for their stay here... Just in case.

One should know that even though these languages had been incorporated into Baymard, everyone’s learning pace was different.

Some were at a beginner’s level, while others were in the advanced stage.

But almost everyone could make conversation in these languages, even though there are grammatical errors in their speech every now and then.

Many jobs for Baymardians, especially those in the lower region, favoured those who were bilingual.

So they had no choice but to buckle up and learn.

That said, Lucia and her people shouldn’t have too many problems moving around or touring the place.

Because all establishments, be it the Coastal port or bank, had people who spoke advanced Roma.

But just in case, Landon still felt it necessary to appoint a translator for them.

After all, what if they got lost while touring and all the people they met were at a beginner’s level?

They might face some difficulties here and there, that’s why he insisted on them having full-time translators by their sides.

.

"Your majesty, you mean we will actually see people from another continent?

What empire do they come from?"

"Your majesty, we will be honoured to serve them!"

"You’re saying that they are dark in complexion just like those toys?

How amazing!

Now I really want to see them."

All 3 translators happily expressed their opinions about these visitors.

His majesty said that apart from them, he didn’t plan to tell anyone else about their skin complexion.

He only told them so that they wouldn’t be too shocked or excited when they meet them days from now.

Landon chuckled at their overly animated behaviour.

Over the years, many have loved the black Barbie who had long gorgeous white hair just like Lucia.

Black barbie even had fans, alright?

Right from the start, Landon had been planning strategically because he didn’t want anyone to look at Lucia and her people in disdain or disgust.

Their black skin should be celebrated.

And so should the avatar-like blue skins of those for the continent of Zohl.

In future, he would bring the entire world together.

As for now, he had to focus on these Zalipnias (People from the empire of Zalipnia in the container of Romain).

.

All 3 translators nodded their heads in agreement.

"Your majesty, how can classes be more important than this?

Your majesty, say no more.

We’ll do it"

"Yeah, your majesty.

In fact, we’ll do it for free.

How can we turn down such a rare opportunity?"

Landon glanced at them and nodded: "Alright. Once you’ve agreed, then it’s settled. 3 of you will be their official translators. 2 of you will translate for their crew meters, while the other will translate for the royals. You guys can discuss who will do what and inform me of your decision by the end of the day."

"Not a problem your majesty."

"Good!"

With that, Landon moved to the next thing on his agenda.

Everything needed to be perfect.
