Chapter 1137 (2/2)
The contradiction lies in whether the shield of defense or the sword of oath, these oath knights who gain strength from the oath of the old Sutra, they have to recite the Scriptures every time they use their strength... At least, they have to recite it silently in the bottom of their heart.
The dark haired wizard frowned.
No, it's not contradictory at all, because
”The old Sutra is the record of the Holy Cross and the way of communication with the Holy Cross.”
In the face of Loren's answer, Isaac and Weber looked at each other with different expressions; From their empty reaction, Loren could clearly detect the little priest's amazement and Isaac's surprise.
”Uh... I was wrong?”
”No, not wrong, but... Too fast, a little faster than I thought.” Isaac shrugged. ”And I said that all answers are based on the understanding of the information I get, so... There is no standard answer in the strict sense.”
”And I must ask you to say the reason for your understanding is that the course can only be carried out based on your understanding, otherwise you will never be able to master the letters and spelling principles of the old Sutra in your life, and our course will go on forever!”
”Yes, not to mention Loren, you are not a servant of the Holy Cross. There is no need to really master it according to the norms of the Church... On the contrary, it may restrict your thinking.”
The little priest nodded approvingly: ”based on your own understanding, finally master the method of using it - just like whether it's walking, riding or riding, the way is different, but the end point is the same, and the key is which is more appropriate.”
”Therefore... We will follow the theory that the old Scripture is the record of the Holy Cross and the way of communication with the Holy Cross to understand its letters and spelling.”
Isaac's tone became much happier again: ”tell me, how much impression do you have of mentor Dalton's course on Ancient Runes?”
”Well... Basically a word.”
”Very good, worthy of being my younger brother!” Isaac smiled very ”treacherously”:
”Now, my good student, please immediately forget all your knowledge about Ancient Runes!”
Huh?!
”Yes, the first step in mastering the text of the old Sutra is to forget the annoying ancient rune.”
Looking at the black haired wizard's stunned look, Isaac's smiling expression was more happy: ”that thing has no auxiliary or reference value, but can only interfere with your understanding of new knowledge - these are two things that look very similar but are completely different.”
”Er... How can you understand it as soon as possible? Let's say, Ancient Runes are like our oral slang. You don't have to worry about pronunciation and methods. Sometimes it doesn't matter if the word order is reversed, or if the pronunciation is wrong... Anyway, as long as you can understand and I can understand, there will be no problem!”
”But the old Sutra It has a very complete, rigorous and standardized use system. It is clear that there are standards for how to say every sentence, because if you delete any symbol or letter, it is possible to turn one sentence into another. The slightest difference is a world of difference; and you can understand the meaning of each sentence only when you read the last letter What! ”
”The difference is so great that it is almost equivalent to the difference between the imperial people and the Azores. It has reached the level of changing.”
”Therefore... We must bid farewell to rural slang, master the official standard spoken language and correct writing norms, wash all the lead, and become a qualified city man from today!”
”...” Loren Turin.
At the same time, the little priest Weber silently took a roll of parchment and his water pipe pen and copied the letters used in the old Sutra.
A total of 76 letters were arranged by the little priest according to the standard of 15 lines, and then the first letter was listed at the beginning of the full text.
”The words used in the old Sutra... Are different from any we use, but as Isaac said, it has a great similarity with Ancient Runes, that is, each letter can express one to five or six meanings, and will change due to the context.”
”I don't understand the logic of the use of Ancient Runes, but the use of letters in the old Sutra is clearly standardized. It is strict to every word structure, and there are very strict standards for the change of context... It's not strange that even archbishops of all dynasties have written wrong characters and sick sentences.”
Hearing this, Isaac nodded again and again, a look of deep understanding.
”Loren, remember what you just said about what the old Sutra is?”
”Of course, it's the record of the Holy Cross and the way of communication with the Holy Cross.”
”Good, so you can understand why this thing is so complicated.” Isaac began to speed up: ”because it... Is specially used to record and communicate with the Holy Cross.”
”Its preciseness is because there can be no error in the content of the Holy Cross, let alone any misunderstanding among readers;”
”Its standard is to let us' believers' have a set of norms for normal communication with the Holy Cross, so as to prevent the Holy Cross from communicating with us.”
”Its complexity stems from the communication and communication between two levels or even two concepts of existence - I don't know how evil gods understand and communicate with human beings, but the Holy Cross must be much higher than them.”
When Isaac said this, the little priest beside him couldn't help frowning slightly.
”This thing is like 'regulating written language' and 'official documents' - it is a pile of tools used to explain meaning and avoid any confusion. The only value is to enable the Holy Cross to establish normal contact with you.”
”The general understanding is that you write a letter with 'official document', convey the content completely and correctly to the holy cross through prayer or any way, and the Holy Cross will decide whether to allow the execution according to its judgment... Well, it's almost the function of official document.”
”Of course, it's conceivable that 99% of the 'official documents' can't get any response; I guess the Holy Cross should have a special mechanism to distinguish which should be responded and which don't need to look at at at all.”
”Really, does that sound worldly?”
”Of course not, I said it was just my guess, but...” Isaac leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table and hid his eyes under his raised hands:
”Seriously think about it, Loren, for a farmer who lives in a field and never leaves his village; kneeling in the Holy Cross Church to pray to God, and kneeling in front of the Lord's horse to beg... What is the difference between the two?”
”The noble who wantonly exploited these poor people, and the Holy Cross who blessed him with increased land income, improved disease and the well-being of his family... What is the difference between the change and influence of the two on his destiny...?”
”Isn't it all that he can't change and can only bear silently?”
”Is there really a difference between the Lord and God for him?”
