Episode 8: Another guest

Of course, there is no plan to eat Motoi Kosuzu, although her strange words and deeds are suspicious, but they will not make me want to kidnap her, besides, what good can I get from kidnapping her?

I suspect she secretly did some unspeakable thing, maybe it has something to do with the Demon Book?

I don't intend to give an opinion in the absence of evidence, and the daughter of a bookstore should be doing something mysterious, and I don't have the energy to do it all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Ling's eloquent conversation continued in the room, as if she had sworn to make it clear that the words of the book could not be believed were all jokes: "According to my judgment after a hasty browsing, although the descriptions of Chinese medicine and medicine in the Materia Medica account for the majority, but! She slapped the book on the cover, "Medicine is what we should focus on - even if we don't know anything about alchemy." ”

"If you are going to rely on the guidance of this book to start a medicinal herb business, the main customers should be ordinary residents, and the medicine that is more accessible and seems to be more accessible will have commercial value." I put myself in the shoes of a businessman and helped her think about it.

"Miss Alice's business acumen is not bad, and the shrine will definitely become more and more prosperous with your business!"

"It's just a casual remark, I don't have the ability and energy to operate, and don't divert the topic."

Akinmyomaru: "Aren't you the one who diverts the topic......"

"Okay, when it comes to medicine just now, I've only heard about its concept, and what Hug Puzi said is not necessarily very true, and only when the mystery of this book is further solved will there be the possibility of practice."

"I'm just interested in languages I don't know," Patchy said frankly, "If Miss Xiaoling is going to learn alchemy from the medicinal herb books, I can also help you with that." ”

"Ahaha, it's early, since Miss Patchouli has promised me, I'll take the book and make a copy of it first, wait a while."

Picking up the ancient book, she happily ran into the curtain behind the customer reception cabinet.

"Anyway, is that behind them the living bedroom and backyard?" I've been to Suzuna-an a few times, but I've never been there, "Isn't there a whole set of work lines that are required in the publishing industry?" "I imagined a factory full of printing presses and conveyor belts.

"Eh, would Alice want to go inside? It's not good to trespass before getting the owner's permission, right? "Arimakimaru thought I was going to hang out.

"No, how could it be."

I glanced at Patchy out of the corner of my eye, and she looked a little dumbfounded as she held her cup and didn't know what she was thinking.

"These so-called monster texts," I said to her, "don't appear very often at all, not to mention humans, and monsters don't necessarily use monster characters among them, not to mention that monster texts are just a paradigm name, and how many of them are even more difficult to investigate, they are a hundred times worse than Latin deaths, and if the dead words are ranked according to the degree of unpopularity, the monster texts should be ranked in the top ten." It has no historical value and is unlikely to have an impact on your magical research, so why bother to learn about it? ”

"It's hard to say the historical value, but you can't underestimate the impact of words on the study of magic."

"Huh?"

"There is no doubt that every kind of writing is the most direct embodiment of a group's survival experience and wisdom, and knowing what can create the corresponding words."

"That's right."

"The essence of the study of magic is basically the activity of summarizing and creating a particular 'language' that describes what is seen in front of you, and then feeding the language back into the study itself. Therefore, whether it is a small tribe, a large tribe or a general group, or even a few demons or people living in clusters, no matter whether the language they create is concise or complex, beautiful or ugly, clear or vague, at least language is the carrier of a group of people's views on the world, and the formation of words into words is the crystallization of valuable experience, and even if the magician does not agree with the worldview of others, he cannot ignore them at will. ”

One of the compulsory courses of the magician is the many languages in the world, and I don't dismiss what Patsy said, but with her attitude towards remote and small-scale civilizations, if not disdainful, she is not necessarily very enthusiastic, why does she suddenly seem to have a different personality? Could it be that she had already begun to abandon the Seven Dawn magic? Even if I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, I don't think I would be used to giving her an official name other than the Seven Witches, but such a choice is as mysterious to magicians as age is to most women, so I decided not to dwell on it for now.

"Your insight makes a lot of sense." I nodded in agreement.

"Magicians are such a hard job!" Akinmyomaru's understanding after listening to our conversation.

"Hard? For those who are willing, that's fun. ”

"Oh, that makes sense."

When it comes to language learning, the first method that comes to my mind is not to follow others to read word by word endlessly, but to pack a whole set of language directly from the bottom of other people's hearts into my own head like Miss Jue, even if I can't master it immediately, I can slowly reminisce and understand.

There is another learning method with the same efficiency, which is to put it simply, that is, the teacher directly transmits the language he understands thoroughly to the learner's mind through divine thoughts, but there are two necessary prerequisites: first, the teacher must have sufficient cultivation, at least master the method of mind communication, and secondly, the person being taught must not be an ordinary person, otherwise receiving too much information at one time may lead to delirium or even become an idiot.

In general, if you want to improve your learning efficiency, you must step into the path of cultivation, which is very contradictory for ordinary people who are thirsty for knowledge, because it is ten million times more difficult to practice than to learn a language alone.

I don't know anything about Patsy's spiritual accomplishments, she only exhibits the qualities of an orthodox magician, and I guess she hasn't mastered the means of mind communication, because I am the only one who occasionally sends her a few thoughts that I don't bother to explain with my mouth, but I never feel the means of communication outside of her language.

Thinking about it, I passed on a thought to Patsy about the literature related to the technology of hairtail farming, and I deliberately made the paper on which the documents were written also appear in my mind, and Patchy would read them in her mind as if she were looking through a stack of real papers.

Then I was glared at by her slanted eyes.

The inquisitive magician is really lacking in mood, I thought, and then let out the Shanghai that had been held back all morning, and let her play a simple game of clapping with Aina Myomaru, who was elated to see the little puppet.

I was bored watching the communication between the little people, and the bell rang a few times when I entered the door, and a person lifted the curtain and stepped into the store.

The person who came was a slender girl, and she was also a high-ranking nobleman among the people, Miss Aqiu, she had a small white flower pinned to her head, her hair was pink similar to that of Miss Jue, and the red light skirt of the summer dress was tied around the thinner green robe, which looked fresh and pleasant and did not look stuffy.

"Huh? What a rare guest," she greeted us, "Miss Alice, Miss Patchouli, and Akinimaru, are you also here to read at the bookstore?" What about the little bell? ”
