For the past few days, Holden has been flipping through the book "Semiotics" that Gaston introduced to read, mainly for the weekend's ash divination.

He hopes to start from the basic knowledge, initially understand and construct the general outline of semiotics, and make a rough survey of this discipline.

Hordon is reading the book "Semiotics" for the second time, the first time in a rough reading style, and the second time in a step-by-step precision. Now I haven't been able to finish reading it for the second time, and it's only a third of the way through, and the construction of the entire knowledge architecture is incomplete.

The real difficulty of semiotics lies not in the symbols themselves, but in the reactions that occur after the symbols are spliced together, and then derive new meanings.

But this is obviously not an easy task.

In the contemporary Leia Empire, masters of semiotics and psionic circles emerge in an endless stream, and a rising star can emerge every three or five times, mainly because of the decline of elemental energy, and there are more and more new generations who study symbols and circles, coupled with the rendering of media propaganda, it naturally gives people a feeling of "masters walking all over the place".

In fact, there are fewer and fewer real masters, as Gaston said, today's scholars lack the ability to innovate and think, they are only based on the original law, more and more changes are derived, more and more pursuit of convenience and speed, and continue to delve deeper for convenience, but there is no successor in the field of developing, creating and practicing new laws.

The whole development is going farther and farther, but the road is getting narrower and narrower.

The law, which is the part of seeing the essence through the phenomenon, no matter what the era, this is not an easy task, and the current Norsnes continent is even more difficult. If you can't understand the laws, it's like physics and mathematics, and if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, and you need talent.

This is especially true for pioneering and innovating.

With Holden's current level of knowledge, it can only be regarded as a basic stage, and it is still far from understanding the law. Originally, he also hoped that he could get more information, and then deduce whether there was a connection between the symbol of Viscount Philo's private residence, the symbol of Nightingale's coat of arms, etc., but now it seems that he is still too anxious.

However, Holden was not without his gains.

"How?" Repeters was the most impatient, unable to hold back his eagerness, and waited only a moment before he could ask eagerly.

Hodden didn't answer immediately, but quickly took out a notebook from his carry-on backpack, flipped through the pages, found a pattern of a magic circle, and looked for it seriously, and after a while, he raised his voice and said, "Look at it, are these two parts somewhat similar?"

The three friends gathered one after another, Holden pushed his notebook and Brutus's manual forward, placed them in the center, and then snapped his fingers, and a white halo hung directly above it, lighting up the light, and then snapped his fingers again, using the light element and the water element to simulate a round lens similar to a magnifying glass, aiming at the part he was indicating.

After a series of actions are completed, the details of the circle are completely and clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes.

Even so, the small parts are still dazzling patterns, and the splicing of lines seems to be disorderly connected, and there is no way to judge the original source and the direction of the lines, and finally the eyes are dizzy and blurry.

Brutus couldn't support it first, rubbed his eyes, but still felt dazzled, but the simple action of straightening his waist made his footsteps sway, and he subconsciously held on to the side to avoid falling.

"What should we be looking at? I just saw a lot of lines, and judging by the fullness of the arcs and the splicing of the lines, it was indeed very artistic, but with the goddess Pomafu on top, I felt like I was going to be blind. ”

Brutus kept repeating the action of opening and closing his eyes, because his eyes were too wide, his eyes were slightly red, and then tears began to bubble up.

Robben was still holding on, but he couldn't find a clue, his whole brain was like a ball of yarn played by a cat, and he couldn't recognize it now, but he still couldn't give up.

Although his observation is not as keen as Horden's, he only needs to observe patiently and slowly, and he can still perceive the rules, "The depiction technique and style are indeed different, and it can be seen that this one is more rounded and smoother, and he is obviously more confident when he puts down the pen." ”

Rypeters pointed to the circle where the ashes divination was located, and then continued to the circle symbol in Viscount Philo's private residence.

"As for this, not only is it more jerky and clumsy, but it is also inadequate, many angles and lines are off track, and there are some complex interfering symbols - I'm not sure if they are necessary, but if this one is used as a reference, then it is really redundant. ”

Ray Peters observed very carefully and carefully, did not observe Holden's eyes, and generously expressed his opinions, showing a confidence that is rarely seen in ordinary times-

When it comes to the field of painting, Ray Peters' whole person shines brightly and is impressive.

"However, aside, I think that the two parts are indeed similar, at least 80 percent or more, but we need to look at other symbols to be able to judge the intention. ”

Ray Peters ended his comments and finally agreed with Holden.

Raising his head, Raypeters cast a puzzled look at Holden, "What's the matter, shouldn't this be the same?

"I'm not so sure. Holden spread his hands, "I'm also new to 'semiotics.'" However, my guess, this symbol should be related to time. ”

"Time?" exclaimed Brutus, "Does the Time Circle really exist? Does that mean we can turn back time?"

"Whether the time circle really exists has always been a controversial topic, but at present, the mainstream view of the Sekpeth Academy is to admit the existence of the time circle and the space circle, and there are many scholars who are committed to studying the time circle and the space circle, and time travel is not impossible. ”

Holden's understatement created a turbulent effect, and the three friends next to him all widened their eyes, as if they couldn't believe it-

Because it's so bold and crazy, is time travel real? Is this really possible? Is it psionic or technological?

However, Hodden, who had become the center of attention, was very calm, and firmly believed in his words, because at this moment, the three of them were sitting in front of them with a living example to prove what he had just said.

Who else could be more certain than Hoden?
