The results of the Egger Clan's research were displayed in front of Hadu, who could only freeze in place, but his eyes bloomed with extreme excitement. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 From the results of the study, Hadu not only saw the predatory methods that he had never tried, nor did he try to test the boundaries of his abilities in the consciousness space, and certainly could not have tried dreaming in the consciousness space.

If we don't discuss the research results themselves, let's talk about some of the "advanced" nature of the research results, which surprised Hadu very much.

The first is the "choice of words". In the results of the study, words such as "reference", "tranquility", and "meditation" appeared, which had not yet appeared in the original system of symbols, but this time they appeared in the form of symbols, and as before, he immediately understood their meaning as soon as he saw these new symbols. These new runes extend and expand the scope of application of the original runes, and it is not an exaggeration to use "rejuvenation". Not only that, but there has always been a lack of vocabulary to describe the topological concept of things in the glyph system, which also appeared in the research results, and the results of the study brought a new concept to Hado: dimensions, especially the description of space and time, fascinated Hado.

Then there is the "logic of presentation". In the original glyph system, you can see very frequently such as "Puj'jo-Me_Su" (listen from... "Ku'ul-Zo_Lin" (to... Most of the time, you have to read the whole sentence to determine the meaning of each part of the sentence, which makes it more difficult to write the meaning of the symbols - first sort out the meaning of the sentence, write the main stem of the sentence on the draft, then think of the connecting words and their inverted forms, then write the two together, and finally sort out the inverted order in the sentence.Su_Nah A problem that often arises is the reversal of the master-slave relationship of the inverted sentence form: if you want to quote a certain sentence of a person, the inverted sentence is used in this sentence, and "Ho_Im'me" (quoted from) is an inverted sentence, so you need to "invert it again" in the quoted sentence. As for why there is such a sentence structure, the main reason is that people at that time basically did not use complex sentences, and almost all scenes used simple sentences as the main force of communication. It's just that in various ritual activities, the ritual personnel need to "act on behalf of" the "gods" to speak, and at this time, they must use inverted sentences to distinguish them from ordinary expressions.

For example, before the unification of the steppe, the high priest of "Mo-Ruq-Fa" often had the following passage when he worshipped the heavens: Ya_Ku'ul-Zo_Ki-Sjuo'ol_Luj'jl_Fon'ne_Guyo_Fon''ni_Jhi-Fo'ol_Yo_Ye_Fan_Qum'me_Gon_Jo_Bu_Loi_Loq'qa_Fon_Sar'ro_Lin_Lin'nua_Zen'ni'

(In the name of the god of war, may the people of my own race be blessed by the heavens, and the body and skin of the strong soldiers, so that they will be the first to kill the enemy in the forward war, because they will be protected by the gods.) ）

The four inverted phrases Ku'ul-Zo_Lin, Guyo_Luj'jl, Jhi-Yo, Jo-Fan, and Ya-Zen'ni are used in this passage, and there should have been a "Jin-la" in "Bu_Loi_Loq'qa_Fon_Sar'ro" (in...). Previously), i.e. "Loq'qa_Fon_Sar'ro_Jin-Bu_Loi_La", but the inversion has already appeared three times in the whole sentence, the inversion phrase can be ignored in the fourth inversion. At the end of the sentence, also use "Lin'nua" (A-Lin'nua, the general term for the gods) and the inverted "Ya-Zen'ni" (subject to... of the Holy Guard) to decorate the sublime nature of the god of war.

It can be seen that there are multiple inversions in such a passage, which is also a common passive voice in ritual language, mainly used to highlight that the abilities and skills of the clansmen, warriors, riders, etc., are "from" the gods. Of course, this troublesome use of symbols has always bothered the Hado and the people, but it has to be said that this is both a customary usage and a more efficient way of recording in antiquity, but the closer you get to the Middle Ages, the less efficient this method becomes.

On the contrary, the results of the Egger clan used a method that was quite different from the current glyph system: they directly replaced all passive voices with active voices, and did not lose logic, only transposing the inverted components of the sentence without affecting the original meaning of the sentence; of course, since tribes like "Shin'ne-Nu" did not have primitive beliefs, the various words related to "gods" did not need to appear anymore, and thus simplified the use of a large part of the word "gods".

As the above passage can be expressed in the new system:

Ki-Sjuo'ol_Lin_Fon'ne_Guyo_Fon'ni_Luj'jl_Qum'me_Ye_Fan_Jhi-Fo'ol_Yo_Gon_Jo_Bu_Loi_Loq'qa_Fon_Sar'ro_Ya_Lin'nua_Zen'ni_Ku'ul-Zo

Then simplify the necessary divine note words, and you get:

Ki-Sjuol_Lin_Fone_Guyo_Foni_Lujl_Qume_Ye_Fan_Jhi-Fol_Yo_Gon_Jo_Bu_Loi_Loqa_Fon_Sar'ro_Ya_Lin'nua_Zeni_Kul-Zo

Among them, Sar'ro is a two-tone onomatopoeia that cannot be simplified, and Lin'nua, as a legendary term representing the unification of the steppe, cannot be simplified.

In this way, the rune system has been close to the modern language, although there are still more monophonic words, but it can be seen that the use efficiency of this new simplified rune system is extremely high: the difficult to pronounce the Shenyin runes has been greatly reduced, and the word order logic has been readjusted, so that the sentence can be broken when communicating, and there is no need to have a headache because of the cumbersome inverted sentence structure and master-slave relationship.

In addition to "diction" and "logic of expression", there is another originality of the research results that Hadu admires the most: punctuation. For a long time, one of the major drawbacks of using symbols to communicate is that it is very troublesome to break sentences between simple sentences - colloquial language is fine, as long as the tone is stressed at the end, but the tone is not marked when writing (especially since the tone mark has not yet been invented), so the effect of sentence breaking can only be achieved by line breaks when writing down. If engraving is used, if the characters are dense when engraving, it is often impossible to see the exact position of the sentence break - this is still a problem that will occur after Hadu has determined the typesetting standard of engraving.

The Egger clan determined to include a full stop". ", ellipsis "... ", question mark". ?", exclamation mark". !", separator".|" , Continuation State Symbol". ~", and also standardizes the use of compound symbols (e.g., ". . . ！？”）。 These symbols enhance the clarity of sentence meaning and lay the foundation for the application of sentence breaks in compound sentences.

What follows is Hado's understanding of what the first Codex was studying.

After the first review of the content of the study, Hadu watched it many times and then came to a conclusion: the results of this study suggested that on the basis of understanding the essence and boundaries of his abilities, he should not be too stingy with the use of abilities, but should use them boldly and frequently - the results of the study emphasized that the ability of "wealth plundering" is not easy to come by, and does not increase the probability of the appearance of abilities in a human settlement, and the relevant abilities will definitely be obtained.

For Hado, the results of the study gave him more of a sense of foresight, after all, he lived in an environment that was either relatively isolated for a long time (staying in a cave), or encountered a more primitive civilization (Native Americans), or simply deserted (the Apennines), he had not encountered so many people or tribes with predatory abilities, and he did not have enough research materials to start a special study of predatory abilities. Take the Iger clan's classification of predatory abilities, such as abstract and temporal predatory abilities, Hadu has never seen before, and it can even be said that he did not have the concept of "abstract" at all before watching the results of this study. If you haven't encountered it, it doesn't mean that it won't appear, so you can simulate other predators you may encounter in advance to be able to react quickly after actually encountering them.

For a long time, Hadu has also suffered many losses from the Egger Clan: whether it is Sidimud's "forbidden" Hadu to plunder the Egger Clan, or Ovokukod when he is old and weak, or the current black-robed wizard's "guidance" and "control" of him. This kind of thing happens, mainly because Hadu has a lack of understanding of the ability to predate, and he does not have any defenses and scruples about other people with the ability to pred, of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is too simple and suffers.

However, it seems that the Egg clan is courting Hado and compensating for the difficulties he has experienced in the past through these research codexes, but it also shows that the other party has made great and in-depth research on the ability to plunder, and has the ability to counter Hado. Not only that, but after Hadu watched and studied the relevant content recorded in the Codex, for a long time Hadu would be captured by the description in the research results, and what he saw and heard would be analyzed with reference to the research results, so Hadu's understanding of predatory ability would inevitably be limited by the research results.

This is really the wisdom that only a clan that has been trained for so long can have, and even Hadu can't refuse this kind of conspiracy - the benefits outweigh the disadvantages too much, even if he knows that there is a trap set by the Egger clan, Hadu can only jump into it according to the other party's thoughts.

However, it must be said that Hado is still very grateful for the contents of this codex: after all, the function of the space of consciousness can also be explored slowly, and without the results of this research, then when Hado explores it in the future, he may be as addicted to dreams and fantasies as it says. In the final analysis, Hadu is still the same teenager psychology as he was back then, even though his age continues to grow from young to old, and from old to young, his actual psychological age has not increased much. It had to do with the way he received adult education in the first place - he had no formal and complete adult education at all. At a very young age, he had to take on all the responsibilities of the entire Unified Tribe, which did give him a mental speed that allowed him to gain experiences and experiences that were impossible for children of his age, but the lack of knowledge of the adult world also needs to be noted. The results of the study give Hado a striking reminder in this regard, telling him that "lost predators are quite terrifying", both as a warning that he must not lose himself and as a warning to beware of such abilities.

Now Hadu is a lot more relaxed: he no longer has to feel confused and confused about the future of predatory ability, and the meaning of the existence of predatory ability is no longer ambiguous. It was as if he saw his own path forward - what a shining light, what a brilliant one. Yes.. ！

Just like the runic system that Hadu brought to the steppe tribe in the first place, this time it will bring another leap to the tribe. The tribe is now in the throes of a period of reluctance, which is both a critical period for abandoning the old system and the best time for the implementation of a new language symbol system. Over the years, the original system of symbols and pronunciations has long been unable to keep up with the needs of the times, and it has also limited the development of many things in the tribe - because the expressions of thousands of years ago are still used, after the expansion of the territory, many new things encountered by the tribe cannot be named, even if some of them can be named similar to the old things, then the remaining new things are completely unnameable. This was noticed during Hado's expedition to gather information about the tribe: after landing in the Americas, the tribe encountered the tall giant tree redwood, which only grows in the cold high-latitude mountains, and is never seen in the grasslands. There were many names that were thought of, such as "Sar-Ho_Me" (spear tree, which grows at the junction of steppe and desert), "Fo-Ku_Mu" (iron tree, mainly used to build camp walls), and "Rin-Yo_Mo" (sword thorn, which is common in ravines, wide and tall), but these names have been used for other plants, and as a result, the people who settled next to the giant redwoods have to call this plant "Fo-Fo_Mo" (a tree that grows towards the sky). And this ridiculous way of naming was something that Hadu couldn't deal with when he arrived at the settlement.

Looking forward to the improvement of the tribe in his heart, Hadu withdrew from the space of consciousness. The black-robed wizard in front of him was still at the moment when he finished explaining about the Codex, but at this time, Hadu's expression was different from Fang Cai, and the other party immediately distinguished.

"Your Excellency," he said, "uh. . . That one.. I saw the black-robed wizard rubbing his hands, looking embarrassed, "Indeed, you chose to help the clan branch in the direction of the blue sea, but this Mari City is also one of the important strongholds of our clan. Although we have fewer people here. Or quite little, we live mainly with the Sumerians. But this is a piece of land of the clan after all. Well, can you help us 'deal with' the pesky Akkadians outside the city? ？”

Hadu looked at the black-robed wizard who pretended to be shy with a smile, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: he thought that the people of the Egg clan were as wise and noble as Sidimud or Prissefud, and it seemed that there were still philistine clansmen. This made Hadu breathe a sigh of relief: if everyone in the Egg clan is extraordinarily intelligent, then to rescue the other party, it is definitely pressure, not motivation, to bring Hadu.

Hadu was a little puzzled by the black-robed wizard's request: with the black-robed wizard's abilities, it might be troublesome to deal with the attacking Akkadians, but it shouldn't be a problem to move them elsewhere. The hesitation on Hado's face also made the black-robed wizard look at it, he sighed and explained: "Although it is said that the Akkadians are led by their king to attack the various city-states, the Akkadians are not completely unified within themselves, they are actually composed of nomadic horse teams, and there may be multiple clans in a horse team, so the composition of the Akkadian army is very complicated. And as you can see, the Akkadian ranks are mixed with some former Sumerians, which makes it even more difficult to control this team. The black-robed wizard smiled bitterly, "My ability is to be able to guide them remotely after actually meeting them - when I was young, I had the privilege of going to the Valley of the Kings and meeting the young priest group there, which is why I was able to influence the high priest. ”

The black-robed wizard was clear: he had never seen King Akkad himself, so it was impossible to turn the siege party around. At most, he could only influence the leader of the Akkadians, the squad that had come out to meet Hado.

For Hado, it wasn't easy to break up the Akkadian offensive - but it wasn't really easy. As for Hado, he didn't want to stay in this ruin for a long time, and it wasn't much use to just repel or crush the Akkadian team, and they would come back to attack after a while. It was necessary to deal with these teams that were constantly storming the city at once, so Hadu thought of the relevant theories about definition described in the research results, and combined with the "reverse plunder" he had previously researched, he had a good idea in mind.

Without further ado, Hadu walked straight out of the temple, jumped up to the top of the city with a single leap, and then jumped into the ranks of the Akkadians, who had gathered together to slay the undead army.

Definition: "The members of the Akkadian raiders attacking the city of Mari 'do not recognize the fact that the city is under the control of King Akkad'".

Hadu unleashed the plunder, and quickly ran around the city: keeping the Akkadians within 10 paces of him. He unleashed his ability to plunder non-stop, and these people who were already attacking were stunned as soon as they were plundered. In order to prevent problems, the black-robed wizard had withdrawn his control of the bones, and Hadu, who had circumnavigated the city, had easily complied with his request - the Akkadians had made Mari's "real" their own domain, and would report the matter to King Akkadian in the future. At that time, it only needs to accept the governor sent by the Akkadians, and the destruction of the Iger clan here will be avoided.

After replenishing fresh water and dry food from the black-robed wizard, with the black-robed wizard's thousand thanks, he said goodbye and began to set off towards the other side of the blue sea in the direction pointed by the other party. During this time, he encountered the Akkadians who attacked the city of Mari several times, and he repeated his old tricks. He now needed to head due west, taking a route he hadn't taken in years, and the mountain terrain he hated the most.

In order to avoid the rocky mountain roads, Hado still chose to go along the seaside.
