"When you study the Magic Script, you must first understand what the Magic Script is. ”

Standing on the podium, Professor Emma first set the tone of the lesson:

"In the previous lessons, you have learned briefly about the origin, development, and current status of the Demon Script, know how the Demon Script can be used under what circumstances, and finally reach an agreement between me and a Devil Elder through astronomical exchanges. ”

When Zheng Qing heard this, he tried to resist the urge to roll his eyes.

Agreed?

The big devil had just poked his head out of the magic door when Professor Emma's spell cut off his head and blocked the door again.

Then the poor head was subjected to a barrage of incantations, from the neck to the ends of the hair, from the eyelids to the nose hair, sealed in a colorful incantation.

It was only then that the professor began to talk about astronomy to the strange visitor with a pleasant face.

The great devil, who may have been turning the clouds in hell, confronted this terrible old witch and fully demonstrated to the young wizards in the classroom what it means to be compromised, to be able to bend and stretch, to endure humiliation, and to be tenacious.

For Professor Emma's questions and requests, that appearance made Zheng Qing very suspicious, if it weren't for the tail being locked to the other end of the magic array, it would definitely be able to demonstrate to each student how to make a haba ghost.

"In this lesson, let's go back to the source and start with the basics of the birth of the Demon Script. ”

Perhaps there was something eerie about the atmosphere in the classroom, but Professor Emma accentuated her tone and posed a question to everyone:

"Can anyone tell me, what is a word?"

Zheng Qingduan sat up, frowning and thinking.

It's a very big topic.

Slowly, people in the classroom began to raise their hands.

The fat man's chubby elbow force overrode the public opinion and occupied the most conspicuous place.

The professor was unusually appreciative of this positive attitude, nodded, and motioned for Fat Xin to answer the question.

"Writing is a system of symbols used to record language, which is a product of the development of human civilization to a certain extent. Xin Fatzi had a serious attitude, and he didn't have the usual hippie smiling expression at all, and it looked quite like the same thing: "It can be understood that under a contract system, there are symbols in the form of an agreement that contain the meaning of the agreement." Modern analysis believes that the main development direction of writing is phonetic and ideographic. ”

"Ordinary words, that's probably it. Lady Emma lifted the huge black frame on her face and nodded, not showing any surprise: "However, for the magic script, words are everything! It is the foundation of the magic inheritance! The magic script not only contains a fixed form, a fixed ideology, a fixed combination, but also other characteristics...... We'll get to that in the next lessons. Except for one point, there is only one direction for the development of the Magic Text. ”

"The second question, what kind of writing do mortals use?"

Zheng Qing felt that he needed to save his position in the eyes of this loving boss, so he hurriedly raised his hand honestly, and Ms. Emma flipped through the roster and nodded.

"It should be two categories: pinyin and hieroglyphs. Feeling the stern gaze on the podium, Zheng Qing was a little nervous, and tried his best to search for the scattered knowledge in his mind:

"A word is directly related to meaning, and the meaning represented by the word is stipulated, and when there is a new meaning that needs to be expressed, a new word is created by means of a salutation, and the other is gradually developed through the connection between meaning and symbols...... It should be like the two directions mentioned by Xin just now. ”

"It's cumbersome to express...... But the general meaning is understandable. Ms. Emma frowned, patted the thick handout in her hand, and concluded, "Just like the two classmates said above." ”

"Human pronunciation is limited, about dozens of phonemes can be summarized, each phoneme is represented by a symbol, and then through the combination of phonemes, the meaning is expressed, this is the simplest language system, just like the secular Latin family, because it is simple, so it is the choice of many secondary civilizations. ”

Or by constructing a symbol, each scene has a symbolic representation, giving this symbol phonemic combination, and then expressing the meaning, which is much more complicated. Only the initial civilization could develop this language, and now in the Baiding world, only Huaxia still has relevant inheritance. ”

But all of the above are mortal languages, writing systems. For wizards, these concepts have only a certain reference meaning. ”

"The magic script, the text that communicates the source of magic, is another name for the high-level lingua franca of the universe, and is commonly known in the modern wizarding world as 'astronomy', which means the text of the sky. ”

"Compared to mortal scripts, demonic scripts have two characteristics. ”

"First, symbols. There are only 365 symbols in the Script, each of which is unique, with a combination of complex patterns and three-dimensional structures. In other words, you are not capable enough, and you can't even condense the magic text!"

"Second, communication. The pronunciation of each magic text must be expressed by combining the vibration of the sound tape, the vibration of the spirit, and the reflection projected by the vision. If you don't have the talent of a wizard, you will naturally be insulated from this profound language. ”

"Many students will say in their studies that we can easily communicate with other lives through the form of 'heart language' or 'thoughts' and so on, why should we learn such a cumbersome, complicated, and even outdated language?"

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.

This is also a question that he is very curious about.

For wizards, strong psychic power guarantees their ability to communicate with each other using their minds alone. Even if you are communicating with a strange race, you can use this simple way.

There's no need to do anything else to learn this kind of complicated and awkward script.

"In short, it's about protecting ourselves. ”

"Mind communication couldn't be easier for a lot of people. ”

"You only need a very simple foundation of spells, and you can explore the secrets of other people's hearts through the ideas they have linked. But on the contrary, even if you have great abilities, it is difficult to prevent others from prying eyes on your spirit. So, when you go out to communicate, you must learn to protect your mind anytime and anywhere!"

"A wizard can have no hands or feet, no eyes, no ears. ”

"But a wizard can't live without a brain. ”

"Our thinking is our most valuable asset...... This is our only proof of independence from this world. ”

"Any attempt to influence your thinking can be seen as a 'blatant invasion'. ”

"So no matter how much we prevent it, it's not too much for our minds. ”

"Thinking, thinking, the dimension of thinking, the dimension of consciousness. ”

"Compared to the dimension of time and space, this dimension is more secretive...... But it's even closer to us. ”

"Since the rise of the Dimensionals, any dimensionality has been reinterpreted by wizards...... According to the theory of this faction, the interference of the mind in other dimensions is the fundamental source of wizarding power. This reinforces our focus on the safety of the mind. ”

"Finally, through a variety of vibrations, the magic text can communicate with the mysterious energy that exists in the universe. Compared to the original lengthy spells, you only need one, or even half or one-third of the magic characters, to chant them. In many cases, this is a very clear advantage. ”

"In short, whether it is to protect oneself or others, the magic text is a very effective means. ”

"I hope!" Professor Emma paused heavily on the heavy handout in her hand, and everyone in the room was cheered.

"Through one academic year's study, each student can master twenty magic scripts, a fraction of 365 standard characters!

"Yes!" the young wizards were full of momentum and confidence.
