Arcane Linguist

Chapter 72 The Soil of History and Culture

Oracle is much more than the 1000 words previously posted.

As of October 2014 of Blue Star, about 10 pieces of oracle bones, more than 13 words, and about 4000 recognizable characters have been discovered.

These are created gradually by the ancestors from ancient times to the present in their daily life, labor, divination and sacrifices and other practical activities. The symbols that record civilization are precious wealth.

Roland has been editing the dictionary these days, and plans to contact "Arcane" to publish a supplement, using it as a supplement to the previous "Study on Oracle Bone Inscriptions".

This is also entrusted by the Olympic Committee to discipline and systematize the previous papers.

He has localized the meanings of some words, such as "Ding", which has been replaced with an ancient tripod vessel from another world, which also means a cauldron.

The history of Arterine is divided into several periods, and different schools of thought and magic systems prevailed.

This reflects people's cognition and use of magic.

Similar to the unified dynasties such as the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing in the history of Chinese civilization, Arterine also had the Barbarian Age, the Mystic Age, the Wizard Age, the Magic (Empire) Age, the Alchemy Age, the Magic Age, and the current Arcane Age.

From here, different schools of gnosis, runes, witchcraft, etc. were born, and it was also the source of professions such as wizards, magicians, and alchemists.

However, he recently checked a lot of history books in the library, but he couldn't find a suitable cultural soil for his family.

Therefore, special words such as "Jiuding" and "Zhulu" have not been seen for the time being.

Because forcibly combining the number nine with the noun tripod can only point to the literal understanding of "nine bronze cauldrons".

"Chasing the deer" will also become "chasing the wild deer in the woods".

It doesn't make any sense at all.

"Perhaps, we should think of a way to show the historical heritage of Chinese civilization?" 』

This is a very, very, very important decision. When Roland thought of this, he faintly felt that the sense of mission deep in his heart became clearer and stronger.

"Without the historical and cultural soil of Chinese civilization, Seres is a tree without roots and water without a source. 』

"Sooner or later it withers and dies. 』

But for Arterine, the Chinese civilization exists in a different world, and it is impossible for him to actively reveal the identity of the traverser.

This is like a magician who has traveled to Blue Star, and has to use magic in the name of a magic show...

You have to find a good name to show it.

such as……

Fiction story!

You think I'm writing a novel, telling a story?

In fact, what I write is the real world, recording real history!
……

On June 6, in the mage tower, in Roland's residence.

"Happy birthday!"

A group of people gathered around the large dining table to congratulate Roland who was sitting at the top.

Bang bang bang!
The fireworks bloomed, and the ribbons and light clusters created by "magic tricks" one after another flew away.

Afterwards, everyone presented presents to Roland.

On this day, Roland celebrated his 19th birthday.

Lunifuss, Cynthia, Sophia, Paulina, and even the recent ally Pano all congratulated him in the email.

Froya, Skold, Yiwen and a group of seniors from the tower even came to his residence to celebrate his birthday.

Even Orvisto, who didn't come to join in the fun, specifically asked the logistics support department in the tower to provide a special batch of exquisite ingredients from another world.

The succubus partner Al showed his skills and made a table full of feasts.

The gifts given by everyone were not heavy, but each had their own intentions. Many of them were special products from all over the world, which were quite commemorative.

"Thank you everyone, thank you for celebrating my birthday."

Roland said sincerely.

Only then did he realize that it had been almost a year since he came to this world.

In this nearly a year's time, such a group of people gathered around me unknowingly.

This feeling of attention and support made him clearly feel that he was integrating into this different world.

"Al, you should put away these presents first, and put them all in the warehouse."

After the banquet, the seniors left, but Roland found an excuse to stay with Froya, Skold, and Egwene.

"I have some things about future topics and research directions, and I want to talk to you."

He first asked Al to pack up the presents, and then told him what he had already prepared at the dining table.

His legendary destiny of inheriting civilization and benefiting the world may be in the background of history and culture.

This is the soil in which the language (Seresian/Chinese) grows.

But there are still some basic conditions that have not been met before moving them.

"Inscriptions? Recorded inscriptions? Grammatical system?"

When Yi Wen learned about it, her face showed surprise.

"That's right, I haven't forgotten to continue to improve Oracle during the recent period.

As a kind of writing, it needs to have the function of daily use. It is far from enough to only have some words and phrases, and it must be able to be written.

Now the oracle bone inscriptions are complete in sound, form and meaning, and have successfully realized runes and spells.

Yiwen, you are good at translation, but you are also sensitive to diction and grammar, maybe we can cooperate to explore the magic of inscriptions and inscriptions..."

"What about me? I also learned about oracle bone inscriptions on the improvement of spell scrolls before!"

Before Yiwen could answer, Scudder couldn't wait to speak.

As the younger brother, he is a little envious of Roland's continuous achievements and the succubus companion, and he also wants to see if he can take a new subject and follow it to success.

"You..." Roland glanced at him and said, "Recently, I'm considering a new square font called Jinwen."

"Bronze inscription?" Scudder was slightly startled.

"Yes, this is an inscription with metal as the main carrier."

Roland spoke eloquently, telling what he knew in a way that the two of them could accept and understand.

"It turned out to be an inscription... It seems to be related to alchemy. Forget it, I'll continue to study the spell scroll. Many problems involving level 1 spells have not been solved yet."

Scudder quickly lost interest.

"Then you should study the spell scroll carefully, senior sister Froya, how about you?"

Roland said, looking at Froya.

"I remember that you seem to have practiced alchemy as well."

This auntie loli blushed when she heard it, and waved her hands again and again.

"No, it's just a hobby, just mess with it when you have time."

"Isn't that better? If you are a professional, you may have other subjects in your hands, and it is inconvenient to transfer to this kind of inscription, and it is okay to have amateur hobbies."

"Bronze inscriptions, magical... inscriptions?

Then I'll give it a try, but my level is limited and I don't know how far I can go. "

Froya said hesitantly, she didn't have much confidence yet.

The junior teaching assistant, a decadent loser who spends his life on a dead salary, has never tasted the taste of success and fame.

"You have to believe in yourself, you can do it."

With firm eyes, Roland encouraged him gently.
