Arcane Linguist

Chapter 224 The magic of words, the art of conferring the gods of Siris
"I do not understand……

It's hard to trust you..."

Serrad struggled for a while, and had to admit that his own IQ was not enough in front of this group of mages.

But he has one advantage, that is, he is unwavering in his foolishness.

He didn't care about so many reasons, he just read that card.

"Why don't you hand over the Xingtian card to me first, and everything else is easy to talk about."

"No, it's easy for you to say, but it's not easy for us!"

Roland and Blaise looked at each other, feeling quite helpless towards such a stubborn person.

Some people have little knowledge and culture, but they are not stupid.

Roland had no choice but to say: "I have already embarked on the road of a card maker, and I can use magic words as cards to write their own stories and write their essence.

To put it simply, not only Xing Tian... but also the two warriors who were killed because of our battle before, I have a way to make cards to make them become heroic spirits!

I want to do an experiment about leaving a name in history and keeping the spirit forever.

If you want to be remembered thousands of years after your death, maybe you can try to integrate into my 'story' and find a 'role' that suits you.

For example, becoming a general under the command of the Great God Xingtian, the king who inherits the will of God.

And the warriors under your command can also become tribal warriors accompanying Xingtian in battle..."

Leave your name in history, and your spirit will last forever!
This literati often regards it as an ideal to pursue, and through this packaging, it has become understandable to Serrard.

He couldn't believe it: "Can you even do this kind of thing?"

Roland said: "I created the Xingtian card with my own hands, what do you think?"

"You make the Talmud and Ji'an into heroic spirits first.

If you can do it, I believe in you. "

Serrad came back to his senses and said immediately.

The Talmud and Jian in his mouth were the two who died in the previous incident.

……

"This guy, don't be fooled!
Forget it, anyway, we were supposed to proceed step by step and gain his trust slowly.

Some things still require his cooperation, so bear with it for now. "

After Serrad left, Blaise couldn't help complaining in private.

Roland nodded: "This interview is not completely fruitless, after all, Serrad revealed some secrets related to his tribe, and agreed to cooperate as necessary.

It's not bad to maintain this relationship first. "

Blaise couldn't help but praised Roland: "Your on-the-spot reaction was quick, and you actually combined the principle of leaving a name in history with this card.

Speaking of it, the role of simplified Chinese and vernacular is to communicate the spiritual power of the public, enabling them to 'understand' and 'communicate', thus establishing a channel for the transmission of beliefs and resonating with mana.

However, that Saillard probably didn't understand these things. "

Unexpectedly, Roland said: "I didn't fool him, but I was serious."

"What?" Blaise was stunned.

Roland said: "In my opinion, there is actually an inexplicable connection between the two."

"What...how do you say this?"

Roland explained: "The reason why Siris can be used in the field of card making is because it has a magical 'meaning'.

Just as oracle bone inscriptions can be used on spell scrolls, this kind of biography-like style has reached a certain critical point in terms of information volume and transmission efficiency, so it can use words to create a complete image within a limited space.

In this way, the users of the card can be guided to understand and accept their own imagination.

Just imagine, each short story stipulates a length of [-] or [-] words, and you are asked to write the magnificent life of a certain historical figure. You must grasp the most brilliant or important nodes in his life to write.

For example, in "The Romance of Siris", the Yellow Emperor fights Yandi, Chiyou, and conquers the ministers...

Another example is that Xing Tian competed with the emperor and was beheaded...

The format formed by these fixed routines is the literary genre. "

Blaise stood there in a daze for a long time before he said, "So that's what happened?

But... Logically speaking, other languages ​​should be able to do it too. "

Seres makes sense, and so do other languages.

Seres can write books and tell stories.

Other languages ​​can also write books and tell stories.

This still doesn't make sense!

That is of course because of the resonance across time and space...

Roland thought silently in his heart.

Now he has actually gradually figured out what happened.

From a linguistic point of view, the unique advantages of Seres itself are not enough to maintain this uniqueness.

But beyond linguistics and into the level of historical and cultural heritage, it is completely different.

In the previous life of Blue Star, Siris, a civilization that pretended to be a country, had a historian system, which had accumulated a rich foundation for it.

Huanghuang Tianchao, the source of belief formed by the spiritual thoughts of more than one billion people, is also an incomparably huge wealth.

The imperial courts of the past dynasties have even established a formal system of enshrining gods for this purpose.

It can manage the flow of immortals.

Even if a trace is left out, it is enough to outline Xing Tian's image and condense a virtual image that can be manifested in this magical universe.

This is the truth about the birth of Xing Tian's spirit!
The official historian system, folklore, the imperial court enshrines the gods...

These few are indispensable.

Although other magical languages ​​have their own characteristics, but they do not have such cultural genes and historical phenomena, how can they construct meaning and reach resonance?

For now, however, these are just speculations.

Moreover, when it comes to some things related to the history and culture of Siris, Roland is not very easy to explain for the time being, so he can only vaguely say to Blaize: "This may involve some magical things.

Divine arts, unlike arcane arts, can be explained clearly and plainly...

This is normal. "

"That's true." Blaise had to agree.

After returning, Roland immediately tried it.

He decided to try to make a new card with "biographical" as a character story.

According to Baike, biographical style is a form of Asian history books, a genre that reflects historical events through narrating the activities of characters.

It narrates historical facts in the form of biographies of characters. The emperor’s biographies are called "Ji", ordinary people are called "Biography", people with special circumstances are called "Zai Ji", and records of systems, customs, economy, etc. are called "Zhi", arranged in tables Historical events are called "tables".

What Roland focuses on here is only the "biography", which is written in combination with the life of the characters.

"Talmudic people, people from the Mata tribe, are few but alert, and are known for their courage..."

Roland gave full play to the traditional artistic skills of traditional literati and wrote a short biography of about [-] characters, praising the dead warriors named by Serrad.

Literature and linguistics are not in the same system, but literature can be regarded as the object of linguistics research, so as a linguist, Roland is also able to write various practical essays at his fingertips.

He used concise writing to summarize the life of the Mata tribe warrior "Talmud" who died young, and concealed that he followed the leader to block the road and robbed him, but was knocked into the air by himself, and then fainted with a hardcover book. In the end, the legendary card Xing Tian sucked up his life and soul, changed his life into a heroic fight, and died of exhaustion.

"I've lost all my money by flattering people like this without charging a premium.

But let’s not say it, he was originally an insignificant and unknown person, but I wrote it like this, as if he was a legendary hero.

His whole life was worth it. "

After one operation, Roland secretly sighed.

Blaise, who was watching the whole process, was completely dumbfounded.

Because at the moment Roland closed his pen, the magic crystal card emitted a shining brilliance.

A lifelike image of a Mata warrior leaps onto the paper, as if exuding the breath of life.

This is the person who died.

The article written by Roland actually constituted a long spell with magical power, awakening his heroic spirit in an unimaginable way.

He hurriedly looked at the board.

"Character cards, Talmud, zero stars..."

"Appearance effect: When there is a character card Xing Tian on the field, star rating +1..."

"Talent: "Xingtian Totem", the secret method of the Mata tribe, using this technique, star +1..."

"How could it be zero stars? Is this a success or a failure?"

Blaise was inevitably a little confused.

"It may be because it was once sacrificed, and Xing Tian devoured its life and soul.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the card is established, use various methods to accumulate it! "

Destroying mountains and destroying temples is completely different from the prosperity of incense.

Roland understood this state in seconds.

Arcane things also need energy conservation.

If the success of such a card was just accidental, then Roland did the same and created a biography for another warrior named Ji'an, and he also succeeded, which proved that he had indeed mastered mature technology.

"It's incredible, it's incredible!
The former Zhurong, Gonggong, and Mingming are all white cards, and they need to be cultivated for a long time! "

Seeing the two new cards appear, Blaise was amazed again and again.

Next, Roland delved deeper into the mysteries, trying to discover what really worked.

In the end, after some investigation and comparison, he decided that it was more related to the Mata tribe.

In fact, what Sellard and others provide now, such as the number of believers and the quality of belief, is far from enough to support the high-level combat power of Xingtian Spirit.

It is achieved by resonance across the universe.

In fact, there are some specious things in this world. For example, some high-level mages or high-level monsters, or those creatures that accidentally obtained divinity, will try to collect beliefs and embark on the road to godhood.

This gave him a lot of inspiration.

At the moment, he didn't care about calculating Serrad's affairs, so he quickly optimized and improved the operation itself.

He is no longer the arcane newcomer of the past, and many resources and secret methods in his hand can be used.

And what he is trying now is to create a free-level spell called "Seres Conferring the Gods", and make use of the resonance that spans the universe!
……

A few days later, Roland further clarified his thoughts.

Since ancient times, there has been a special cultural phenomenon in Seris, which is to deify and worship a person who is revered or believed by the people as a god.

In order to praise a certain spirit that is beneficial to the rule, or to combat adultery, the rulers of the dynasty often adopt official procedures to confer gods and regulate various beliefs.

In the eyes of other countries or civilizations, this is unbelievable, because the gods are a high existence, and they are inaccessible to mortals. However, the people of Seres can consecrate the gods, which proves that the power of the world is stronger, and the imperial court holds power. Everything in it is regulated from the source of belief.

So, from Fan Li, Guan Yu, Zhao Gongming, to Confucius, Laozi, Huang Chuping, Han Qinhu, Li Jing, Qin Shubao, Yu Chigong, Lin Moniang... have become gods one after another.

Roland drew the inspiration to extract and sense spiritual power from it, and transformed it through the "dream technique", which successfully resonated.

Then, a brand new spell model was constructed through this resonance.

This "Seres Conferring God Art" was born.

Blaise is also a witness.

He didn't know the cultural connotation in it, but he was astonished and admired Roland's "wonderful idea".

"This is in an arcane country like Arterine. If it were replaced by a religious country, just your research direction would be blasphemy.

No way, just grab him and burn him at the stake! "

But the emotion is emotion, he still can't put it down for this achievement.

Because this means that he may also have mastered it.

As a result, after some attempts, I found that it was far more difficult than expected.

"What's going on here, I've obviously built a spell model based on your arcane results, why didn't it work?
This kind of spell doesn't look too complicated. As a high-level mage, there is no reason why I can't learn it! "

"Maybe the spiritual resonance is not enough, I didn't find the right channel!"

Roland guessed.

"Although this is called arcane magic, in fact, it is an applied spell that is biased towards the field of divine magic.

It is impossible to learn without a deep understanding of the cultural connotation of "Fengshen". "

"Is that so?" Blaize felt that he had returned to his apprenticeship, scratching his head.

"Anyway, submit this manuscript to the journal "Magic" and see if anyone else can reproduce it. If someone successfully reproduces it, it will prove that it is established.

If it can't be reproduced, it's a good theory. "

Roland said, and told Rosa to tidy it up.

Rosa responded, and got busy conscientiously.

Although she couldn't understand Roland's thesis or their research, thanks to her proficiency in Seres, she could still do it by helping to proofread and sort it out.

Thus, a biography, fame, canonization, such a system of conferring gods was established.

It wasn't until this step that Roland gradually changed from knowing what it was to knowing why it was, and completely mastered the relevant power.

The next step is to get the secret in Serrad's hands.

It is currently the most successful resonance, and it is also the basis for Xing Tian's birth.

The "Seris Conferring God Art" is only a prototype so far, and it has to be filled and perfected by it.
