"Are you really sure?"

"Sure!" Angus said categorically, "the man who said this to me is Baker, from the Demon Axe family in Winterdragon City, and a few years ago he was a leader of Swords and Roses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This man has a very tight tone, so when I heard him say this, I secretly remembered it in my heart. I didn't remember it before, but I was reminded by the people here, so I remembered it all. ”

"Why would he reveal these things to you when he's tight-lipped?"

He looked at Angus's now ordinary face, and suddenly remembered that this confidant was originally a handsome guy, and his eyes became ambiguous.

It's been a while since I've been messing around with Levi, and Angus can't understand what kind of tricks he has.

"Don't be fooled. Although Baker is tight-mouthed, he has a problem, that is, he gets drunk when he drinks, and when he is drunk, he makes a mistake. In addition to being drunk, he also likes to talk to others. What I said above is what he said when he was drunk. More than half a year ago, when I went to Limestone Town with you, I heard that he was unlucky because of this. The disguised knight had a black line on his face, "It's not as dirty as you think." ”

After Levi was bored, he didn't say much, but thought about it intently. His face changed for a while, and he suddenly sighed.

"What do you think, Lord Archon?" Angus asked, looking at him like this, with some curiosity.

Levi looked up and half-jokingly said to him, "Would you believe it if I told you that I not only solved the secret on those metal sheets, but also seemed to solve the one you said as well?"

When he spoke, he was a little weak because the shock in his heart was too great.

However, to Levi's surprise, Angus blurted out, "Believe, why don't you believe it!"

The answer was so categorical, without a hint of hesitation.

Just when Levi thought that there was something wrong with his ears, Angus patted him on the shoulder with a look of appreciation, "Lord Commander, your joking skills have been on the rise recently." Then he turned around and walked to the front, "Hurry up, the people of Rogue are still waiting for us." ”

Looking at the back of his head, there was a faint sadness on Levi's face.

"It's a pity, it's true, I really know it all......"

This sentence, he still didn't open his mouth in the end.

Inside the sailboat.

Levi's cabin.

“...... Are you sure they really say that?" Levi looked at Bob, who was as small as a baby in front of him, with a very solemn look on his face, "The priests in your village really call us humans scholars?"

The fist he placed on the cherry wood square table in front of him was clenched tightly at this time.

Opposite Levi, Bob, the ugly birdman at the other end of the table, trembled with fright, like a raven's head feathers had steepened.

"No—that's right, Commander-Commander, that's exactly what they shouted. Every time we go out to plunder, when we plunder, when they make sacrifices, when we pray to Phoenix, the great god of firebirds, we say -- those words, what 'may your wrath be tilted toward those who bear the scriptures,' -- these nonsense. Bob stammered in an explanation, then waved his hand again and again, and began to ramble in a serious way, "But I didn't mess around with them. Believe me, I am a peace-loving birdman. All the things I did before were forced to do ......"

However, no matter what it says, it is useless at this point.

It's not because Levi saw through its disguise, but because this one simply ignored its words and immersed himself in his own world.

That's right!

There's really nothing wrong with that!

Levi is now sure that he has touched the truth!

In other words, in addition to discovering the secret of those metal fragments, he also figured out the question of "why humans are kings" in this magical world.

In fact, when he heard Angus talk about it before, Levi already vaguely knew the answer. It's just that at that moment, he can't be sure yet. But now that he had asked so many "people", he knew that the guess was true.

In this magical world called Roland, humans were able to stand out and become the strongest race under the stars, because they were the first intelligent race under the stars to master words.

The word "scripture bearer" is a common term for human beings by other races a long time ago.

Although it is so long ago that it has even been forgotten by humans themselves. But there are still many aliens who have preserved this message from ancient times, and will still show it on some occasions.

Even they themselves don't quite know what these three words mean.

And what does it mean to be a scripture bearer?

Why is it another name for humanity?

Because once upon a time, humans were the only race that made books. They used scriptures made of bark, clay tablets, and cloth to guide their words and deeds.

This distinguishes all other races.

It is precisely this striking feature that the word "scripture bearer" has become synonymous with human beings.

These things are actually the knowledge in the idle books that Young Master Li Wei read. Because they appear so often, as soon as they are remembered, Levi discovers their mysteries.

Following the previous path of "ethnic culture", he understood it in one breath.

Originally, when Levi thought about the question of "why people are human" through those metal pieces. After getting the answer, I was depressed for a while.

He found that the idea of "ethnic culture" seemed to work only for humans on Earth. But when it comes to this world, there are obviously some problems.

What is the problem?

That is this magical world called Roland, and there is not only an intelligent race of human beings at all.

The humanoid intelligence race he knew alone would be such a large area.

What elves, dwarves, giants, jackals, ratmen, lizardmen, centaurs, half-sheepmen, wild demons......

Then the question arises.

If ethnic culture is the ultimate answer to this question, what is the explanation for these equally intelligent creatures?

Then the question from Angus's mouth reached his ears.

Leviden understood the true meaning of the metal pieces.

In some contexts, "the reason why people are human" can mean something else.

Its original meaning is likely to be this kind of sentence - "The reason why I, Levi, am Levi, is because I Levi is great enough." ”

From this point of view, the content of the metal sheet can be understood as "the reason why people are human is because they have the strongest learning ability." ”

In this way, another problem can be solved as well.

"How were wizards born?"

- "Created in the way of learning all things!"

And after understanding the written word, Levi understood why humans have the strongest learning ability, and why only humans developed spell magic, so that wizards were born?

This is only because with the addition of words, the cultural inheritance of human races is no longer the same as that of other races.

The progress of text over language is that its ability to carry information has been greatly improved, and the error rate has been greatly reduced.

In the case of only words, the only way to pass information between each other is to pass on information by word of mouth. However, the practice of "you pass on me, I pass on him" may cause the phenomenon of "distortion" if more than a dozen people are transmitted. After all, everyone will edit the information without paying attention to it in the process of passing it on. How can you guarantee that your hands and feet will not change if you are passive more than a dozen times?

Another point is that in the absence of words, information is basically stored in the brain. But the problem is that memory is not very reliable in the first place.

That's why words have such a big advantage.

It can be said that if the emergence of language is equivalent to the evolution of Australopithecus into Homo erectus, then writing is equivalent to the emergence of modern Homo sapiens.

It is also conceivable that the improvement of ethnic culture can be imagined.

As another heritage in addition to the genetic bloodline, if the ethnic culture is greatly improved, it is also conceivable that the corresponding ethnic group will be improved.

At least, in this magical world where there are a lot of superior races, this is the only explanation that makes sense for humans with zero natural magical talent to defeat other races.

From this point of view, the reason why human beings in this world are the strongest is entirely because they have the most excellent cultural genes.
