Lü Zhong had no idea what they were saying.
Seeing the unpleasant look on their faces, he didn't want to miss this chance for contact. He began to speak, "My apologies. I was swept here by a spatial storm and have been traveling alone for nearly a month. This is the first time I've seen another living person, so I don't know your language. Please, forgive me!"
Lü Zhong spoke these words using the Silver Tadpole Script.
Although the Silver Tadpole Script was a magical script, it wasn't impossible to use for conversation. However, people were generally unwilling to do so, as it consumed a great deal of Magical Power and was simply too taxing. Moreover, a single mistake could activate the power within the characters, leading to all sorts of trouble.
The ability to speak using the Silver Tadpole Script, and even to make the words act directly upon the mind so that others could immediately understand his meaning, was a demonstration of power in itself.
