Chapter 674 (2/2)
Therefore, after a certain period of precipitation, no one began to worry about these changes. The flower goblins did not worry, the townspeople did not worry, and Viscount Ruichi only worried about the members of the association who still didn't come. It can even be said that the only worry is the Lord who is far away in xiehu City, but he is also worried that the flowers and plants in the mountains are not growing fast enough and that he may miss a better opportunity to make money.
After dinner, when the guild members returned to their rooms to rest one by one, ello still sat behind the counter in the empty guild hall and looked at the book in his hand with the light ball steadily shining on his head.
On the exquisitely decorated cover, it is impressively written -- ”rough theory on the study of ancient gods”
Behind the hardcover book is the author: Andersen dream seeker.
Published in November 102.
When I opened the cover, the ancient words appeared in front of arrow as if they had passed through thousands of years.
Since bringing those materials back from Swan Castle, ello has read all the books roughly. Among them, the notes in this book are obviously the most, and it is even more complicated.
At present, the ancient book of more than 1000 years ago is placed on ello's left hand, and a stack of Capone's manuscripts are placed on his right hand. The words on the ancient books belong to a kind of words he is not very familiar with, but fortunately, there are the notes left by MAS Capone on the edge of the book and those manuscripts, which enables ello to translate carefully, While trying to interpret it.
He reads very carefully.
It can even be said that some are too careful.
I'm afraid that I may translate a meaning in this ancient book wrong, resulting in a completely different answer.
He constantly translates, the reader, trying to understand the words and stories depicted in it
With his reading, his understanding, his step-by-step exploration of this ancient story
In the increasingly dark night, Napa hung behind his head and stared at him.
”Woo...”
Suddenly, ELO could not help shaking. He couldn't help shaking his shoulder, looked up and looked out of the window.
The dark Pelican town already didn't know the time. He looked at his pocket watch... Well, it was two o'clock in the morning.
”You should rest.”
Slowly, Napa floated to arrow's side, lay on his head, looked at the pile of manuscripts on the table and said——
”You've been studying these things every day for more than a month. Are they interesting? What did you interpret? ”
Ello rubbed his shoulder, slightly adjusted the position of Napa on his head to prevent it from being too heavy and pressing his head. He smiled and said: ”there are really few things that can be interpreted... I mainly want to know what Capone did and what was the thing that bewitched him? I'm always a little uneasy when I don't know these things. ”
Napa yawned and put on a boring expression again. Its tail swayed forward slightly. It didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. It gently brushed arrow's eyes and blocked his sight: ”why do you know so much? I remember you said before that making money is the most important thing in your life, or the most important thing in the past three years? Have you made enough money? I study these things every day. You don't feel tired. ”
”Napa, have you been fat lately? It feels so heavy. ”
”Where?! You're fat! I've been worried about this and that recently. How can I get heavier? Hum! ”
Arrow smiled bitterly and continued to look at the manuscripts in his hand.
Looking at it, he said, ”in fact, I'm afraid Mr. MAS Capone doesn't know the content of this document very well. In some places, I even think he is even guessing, and even forcibly interpreting the written materials more than 1000 years ago with modern knowledge. Therefore, I really can't guarantee the correctness of his manuscripts. ”
Hearing this, Napa seemed to be interested. His tail swayed, his neck stretched out and said, ”Oh? How are you sure? ”
Arrow smiled, took a manuscript with a magic circle nearby and said, ”look at this. Mr. Capone commented that this is a magic circle of flame magic, right?”
Napa glanced and nodded: ”yes, although the painting is not very standard, several key elements are right. People with flame element affinity can indeed summon the pillar of fire through this magic array. ”
Arrow nodded, then opened the ancient book, found another magic array on one page, smiled and said, ”look at this magic array, it also looks like fire magic array, right? Both the composition and several key elements are very similar. ”
After glancing, Napa was also curious: ”indeed, it's really similar. So, this is also a flame magic array? ”
Arrow shook his head and said with a smile, ”unfortunately, it may not be. Although the composition of the two magic arrays is very similar, and there seem to be many similar symbols in them, this is just an illusion brought to us by our eyes. ”
Arrow took out a hand-painted drawing from the materials stacked next to him, pointed to the two magic arrays that had been gradually separated on the drawing, and said, ”I have separated all kinds of graphics and words in these two magic arrays and painted them here. It can be seen that although at first glance, there are many similarities between the two pictures, when I really investigate the specific graphics and text, I find that there are almost only 30-40% of the text graphics, and there is a great similarity between the two. And the rest of the content is much more different than similar. ”
”It is because there are many similarities in general that we think the two magic arrays are similar, but in fact, they are not the same thing at all. However, Mr. Capone understands the two magic circles as the same thing, so the answer may be completely different. ”
Looking at the manuscript paper that ello deconstructed next to, Napa also seemed a little interested and said, ”how can you confirm that it's really different? What if the magic array in the book is really an ancient pillar of fire magic? ”
Arrow smiled, shook his head gently and said, ”no, because the words before and after the magic array describe an agricultural planting. No matter how good at Association, it is impossible to suddenly jump out of a pillar of fire magic when sowing? ”
Napa now felt interesting. He came down from Arrow's head, looked at the ancient book and the manuscript next to it, and said, ”how do you know that this is describing an agricultural planting activity? Do you understand? ”
Arrow smiled and said, ”I can't understand it, but after some simple text decoding, I can understand it a little.”
Facing Napa's skeptical eyes, arrow sighed and could only continue——
”In fact, the work of cracking ancient documents is not so magical. It is mainly a matter of workload. First of all, since I have confirmed that we humans write this book, we humans have some similar language habits no matter how the times change. First, there are various subjects, such as' you ',' I ',' he ', and then there is the indicative language of' this', 'that' referring to the object. Then, there is a fixed keyword used to connect two different phrases. For example, 'yes'. This kind of grammar can be said to be the most frequently used type in our daily life. ”
”In this way, I only need to find out the most frequently appeared words in this ancient book, then reverse the words it may refer to according to the usage of sentence patterns, and then substitute them into other contexts step by step for calculation, at least I can calculate the meaning of some names and conjunctions.”
Listening to the introduction of arrow, Napa looked at this guy as if she had seen the new world. Its precious blue eyes seemed to contain too much surprise and worship. After a while, he slowly said, ”you guy... You know so much!”
Arrow shook his head gently and said with a smile, ”it's not that I know more, it's because my teacher knows more. It was he who suggested that I learn more languages of other races. He also translated many books and works. This way to crack other languages was taught to me by the teacher. ”
Napa floated from Arrow's head and gently landed on the ancient book. After reading the words recorded above, the cat raised his head again, looked at arrow with some wonderful eyes, and said slowly, ”so, do you know what's written on it?”
This problem made ello a little embarrassed. He frowned, sighed helplessly, picked up all kinds of manuscripts written by himself next to him, and slowly said, ”the decoding work is more difficult than I thought... After all, I only have an ancient book in my hand, which might be simpler if I could compare other books of the same age... Anyway, Who took the title of this book? The first two pages of this book are almost all about agricultural life, which has a wool relationship with ancient gods? ”
Hearing this, Napa looked bored again, yawned and flew slowly. After circling around the now sad arrow, the cat said in a casual tone, ”you can too. Anyway, you don't understand these contents now. Is it necessary to study them so late? Go to bed early. I can't bear it anymore... I'll go to bed first. ”
Seeing that ello was still very confused here, Napa finally gave up the idea of continuing to accompany her, shook her head and flew back to her cat house. After a while, a little snoring came from inside.
Then
