Arcane Linguist

Chapter 98: Narrative Style of Oracle Bone Inscriptions

"Uh!"

Roland hiccupped, shut up just right, laughed, and changed the subject: "That's about it, so I'm going to create (carry) inscriptions in the future, and I plan to use this method to record the year and events, and I may mix it with Don't be surprised if there are some weird things mixed in."

"Genius things are hard to understand."

Everyone was unaware.

In the corner, only Yi Wen was in a daze.

"Come on, come on, keep drinking, fill up!"

That night, Roland went back and wrote hundreds of inscriptions on the pretext, intending to organize them into a document and submit it to "Words".

He had read "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Collection" in his previous life. This material contains 80 pieces of rubbings, photos and facsimiles of oracle bone rubbings from the Yin Ruins over the past 41956 years. The materials are still very rich.

Just such a thing, made from scratch and figured out, is enough for a person to study for a lifetime and soak in it for decades.

For Roland, the inscriptions themselves are secondary, mainly the way of creating (carrying) these inscriptions.

Now there are two roads before him, one is to take the route of fictional languages ​​(Fictional Languages), the most prominent is a willful, unconstrained style;

This route is represented by the Iser School, and the Hallmyer School recreated its glory.

The other is the archaeological route of the Catria School.

This school originated from the discovery of the archaeologist Uris. A certain place called Catria Island once gave birth to a primitive magic civilization. It was once possible to develop into a glorious country like the Art Rhine. die young.

Catria Island is also known as the birthplace of modern rune literature. Since the arcane reform, many things of the rune school have come from there.

It is worth mentioning that before Roland and others talked about "the feast is over", they did not include this school of thought.

Relying on archaeology, this school can still produce results from time to time, and the leftovers have supported countless experts and professors.

The highlight of this route is word digging, and many academic achievements are dug out of the ground.

Roland felt that he and these three schools would intersect sooner or later, because the dream spells and overhead studies of the Yisel Mage Tower, the metaverse spells and void system of the Hommier Mage Tower, the archeology and exegesis of Catria Island, History, historical linguistics, historical comparative linguistics and other disciplines are very developed.

If I want to solve many technical problems in the process of "handling", I must learn from others' strengths and learn from them.

But now, it's better not to think so long-term, and stay here for a few years.

The Orvisto runes are rooted in Elvish and ancient Elvish, and in the roots of Atrein, Elvish is almost equivalent to magic itself, here he can lay a solid foundation.

While thinking about it, Roland first wrote out the 10405th article on the front of the No. 4, "Car Accident Remarks" in the name of citation.

Then, No. 6051, "Arrest Resignation"...

No. 3018, "Yong Ziyang Ci"...

At the beginning, Roland also "cited" some historical stories and folklore that already existed in Arterine to take root and take advantage of the situation.

After writing more than 80 articles, I suddenly became unrestrained, and all kinds of Wuding, businessmen, Qiang people and so on appeared.

And this, in fact, was also his temptation.

An elaborate design, an elaborate trial to set the ratio of "localization" and "copying" at a certain ratio.

More than 120 entries stopped abruptly.

Test the water first.

The next day, March 7.

Roland checked what he had written several times before submitting it officially.

If the precious information engraved deep in the soul is regarded as a gold mine, the previous oracle bone inscription system is equivalent to the first pot of gold dug.

With it, I have gained a foothold in this strange world.

Everyone together symbolized the culture, spelled it, and carried out magic reforms, that is, recruiting workers and distributing mining picks.

And now, it's time for the mechanics.

This will be a big leap forward!

……

City of the Sky, Nieves, the headquarters of the "Word" journal.

In the editorial department.

As soon as Boisetus returned to his office, he saw the light cluster manifested by Taling ripple like water waves, and a mechanical synthetic reminder sounded.

"Mr. Boisetus, you have a new manuscript pending.

School of Runes, Field of Linguistics, Branches of Semantics...

Please complete the preliminary review within 24 hours and submit the preliminary review opinion. "

"Huh? "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Narrative Style and Semantic Analysis"?"

With some inexplicable thoughts, Boisetus quickly remembered that this should be contributed by Roland from the Orvisto Mage Tower.

"Heh, have you started exploring narrative and grammatical semantics?"

Roland and the others had a banquet before and talked about the "feast over" of the Rune School.

This has caused the rune school to decline, resulting in a more serious problem of inbreeding in small circles.

However, for the members of the Orvisto Mage Tower, this is not all bad.

Because in journals in related fields, there are often some familiar seniors or relatives and friends who are on rotation.

For the relatively demanding "Arcane", it is already considered a luxurious lineup to be able to select three arcane committee members (archmages) from the Rune school to review manuscripts. This is why Orvisto did not avoid suspicion at the beginning. The reason for reviewing Roland.

Swain, whom Roland knew, was actually on duty at "Rune", but he didn't meet him in the last submission.

And this Boisetus was the one who once fought a literary war with Oxea in the newspaper and spoke for Roland!

He was also a student of Orvisto, but he didn't choose to stay in the tower after graduation.

"This elementary school boy is really amazing!"

Boisetus almost immediately concluded that this was Roland's contribution.

With a bit of curiosity and admiration, he opened the paper and read it, but his expression gradually became strange.

"What is this, why does it feel jerky and difficult to understand?"

Not only square characters, but other alphabetic characters also have various jerky and difficult to understand phenomena in the early stages of development.

There is a reason for the distance of thousands of years. During the evolution of words, the form and meaning have undergone very significant changes. In addition, the differences in culture and daily life have created a difference in the spiritual core, which is more likely to cause differences in understanding. difficulty.

However, although he didn't quite understand it, he knew it instinctively. He bit the bullet and read, interpreted and deduced the information given by Roland, unconsciously forgetting the passage of time.

Suddenly, Boisetus woke up with a shock on his face.

"He really succeeded in constructing a whole set of narrative style and grammatical semantic system different from alphabetic characters!
This paper is not trying to discuss with us, but to shape it completely!

This elementary school boy is really scary! "(This child is so terrifying)
