Chapter 199: Symbolism
Arka looked puzzled and frowned and came to Xia Daiti's side.
Looking at the two on Xia Daiti's shoulder.
At this time, Er was holding Xia Daiti's hair, looking at Arka next to her, she turned her head to stare at him.
He tilted his head and smiled, not in the same way that Jason looked backward and disgusted as he did when he approached.
"Why don't you dislike Alka?" Jason couldn't help but ask.
Julia next to him looked at him and said, "Maybe Arka is her creator." ”
She didn't actually want to talk about this reason, after all, if the puppet was similar to Xia Daiti, it was something else.
Arka reached over, and Er seemed to understand what he meant, and jumped directly into his hand.
She was very cooperative, and at the same time, she completely showed her more spiritual behavior.
"Don't use magic, just stand relaxed and let me check." Arka said to the two in his hand.
Two nodded: "Okay." ”
A precision hand appeared on Alka's right hand, followed by a pair of glasses, and an additional lens in front of the lens in his right eye, which seemed to be able to magnify.
Wear the glasses over your eyes and overlap all the extra lenses in front of the right spectacle lens.
With a precise hand, she began to control it finely, examining her hair, and the magic light curtain kept scanning back and forth with Er's hair like a scan.
He wanted to see if there was really hair in it, and he wanted to see if it had any strange effect.
After more than 20 minutes, Arka was sweating all over his head before he lifted his glasses.
Exhaled.
Lowered the two on the deck.
"How? Check it out? Xia Daiti asked curiously beside him.
Arka's eyes were full of confusion at this time.
"Why? It's really hair-induced changes, but why? That's just hair, that's just a few hairs, not even a material? ”
Repeating, Arka sat down on the edge of the garden, holding her head in confusion.
"It's not scientific at all, it's not logical at all."
Listening to Arka's strange words, Lucilia sat down beside her and replied, "You can't say that, haven't you said it in many stories and records?" Pluck the enemy's hair and curse it, and maybe the hair has a strange symbol, and even connects the soul of the person. ”
Hearing Lucilia's words, Arka turned his head to look at her, and in this way, it seemed that there was such a possibility.
It's not scientific, but it's magical, it's very occult.
After all, in the magical occult, hair generally has a peculiar role, with peculiar references and intentions.
It is also true that as Lucilia said, some curses can be activated with hair, and most of these curses have something to do with the soul.
Otherwise, it's hard to explain why just a few hairs have made Er have changed so much, and it's clearly biased towards Xia Daiti's transformation.
"Anyway, that's a good thing, isn't it." Xia Daiti looked at Er, who was sitting on his lap, and said with a smile.
Arka nodded, this is indeed an unexpected discovery, as for whether it is a good thing...... There are no guarantees yet.
"Then why don't you make one with my hair?"
Jason asked expectantly.
Before Arka could refuse, Lucilia stood up with her waist crossed and said, "No, my doll army must be all women, and it must be doll girls, so that they are handsome, not men." ”
After all, this is a puppet army that Lucilia has promoted with treasures, and the puppets are not divided into men and women, and there is no difference in strength.
The all-female puppet knights do look a little more interesting.
Arka shrugged at Jason when he heard this, saying that it wasn't up to him.
After all, he's just a basic maker.
When Arka made the dolls, he didn't deliberately favor them with male or female appearances.
Whether or not the appearance is biased towards women depends more on other factors, including the material, including Lucilia's inspiration.
and Lucilia's thoughts.
After all, normal dolls are more inclined to Lucilia in appearance, not to mention gender, they must be female.
"Okay." Jason said with a shrug.
He didn't have to, he just suggested it, and he thought it was interesting.
"What about making one out of my hair?" Julia said with a smile.
Lucilia nodded, "No problem. ”
However, Arka said, "Don't worry, the materials are consumed faster than I thought, and the next puppet may have to wait until it reaches the Infinite Sea." ”
"And I'm not sure it's really a good thing, I'll have to look at it before I can draw conclusions."
Although the changes in the second are really very gratifying, whether they bring benefits or disadvantages can only wait for the verification of time and more detailed observation.
After all, Arka knows very little about this, and he doesn't know anything about whether such a symbol is a good thing or a bad thing.
Think about it, Arka turned his head to look at Lucilia and said, "During this time, let's let Er follow Xia Daiti first, and see what kind of effect it will have, how about it?" ”
Lucilia didn't have any opinion on this, and nodded: "No problem." ”
Arka then looked at Shadetti, waiting for her answer.
Xia Daiti turned her head to look at Er, who had jumped on her shoulder again, and nodded with a smile, of course she was very happy.
"Okay, then it's decided"
In this way, Er's fate is temporarily handed over to Xia Daiti to take care of, and Xia Daiti will also observe and record Er's at any time.
Alka also observes and records her daily life, and studies her from time to time.
……
It was another night, and since Arka wasn't on duty, he went to bed early.
After sinking into a dream.
Looking at the transparent spar floating in the middle of the entire dream world.
At this time, inside the spar, you can see a little starlight like fireflies flying around inside.
Each starlight is a little bit of dream energy, which comes from Alka's months in the outside world, in this dream hunt.
In addition to these dream energies, there are also some practical loot left around, which have not been consumed by Arka and turned into energy.
Due to the desolate dream environment here and the scarcity of monsters, most of the loot is some interesting material.
These materials are somewhere between the virtual and the real, and this property can make strange equipment in reality.
But apart from these materials, nothing else can be brought into reality unless a lot of dream energy is expended.
If you want to have enough dream energy, you have to accumulate it over time.
It is not yet possible to splurge at will and avoid waste.
But Arka sank into a dream tonight, and he had something to do.
The first is a routine observation.
A large mirror appeared in front of him, and the image in the mirror was the observant dream of death.
Every time Arka comes in, he takes a look at what the Dream Grim Reaper is up to and goes on a voyeuristic activity.
If he is sleeping, then he will ignore it, and if he is acting, then he will have to observe carefully, and he will have to think about recording when observing.
In order to let Lucilia after him organize it into a book and write it in the illustrated book.
This observation will continue until the dream Grim Reaper discovers that the mirror fragment is attached to his body, or that the mirror fragment on his body has fallen off due to some situation.
At this time, the dream Grim Reaper was resting in the shape of a ball, and after looking at it twice, Arka shrunk the mirror so that it floated beside him.
As soon as there is movement, the mirror reminds itself.
Then he floated out of his dream bubble and fell downwards into Lucilia's dream.
Reach out and touch Lucilia to wake up.
As a result of getting used to it, Lucilia will no longer have intermittent confusion, but will be directly clear.
Seeing that Lucilia waved her hand and was about to change her dream, Arka immediately said: "Don't be in a hurry to change it yet, draw me a small territory in your dream, and put the books you have read into it." ”
"Reading a book? Do you want to check any information? ”
Lucilia looked at Arka and asked suspiciously, if there is anything she doesn't understand or needs to be inquired about, just ask her directly.
If she had seen it, she would have been able to recall it.
Arka shook his head: "I don't know what I need to see, but today's change in the second let me know that the materials of the spell and the knowledge of the occult and magic are not enough. ”
But the problem is that most of the relevant books are not deep enough in the homeland, and most of the slightly advanced knowledge comes from the packaging information obtained from the wise men before.
Naturally, the books they had obtained from the Homeland Sea were not of much benefit, so they could only think about whether they could find more useful books in Lucilia's place.
But if you want to say what kind of book knowledge it is, he will definitely not be able to say.
After all, he's just trying to learn in this direction.
Lucilia nodded, knowing what Arka was thinking.
With a wave of his hand, a huge library appeared in mid-air.
The library took up 1/5 of the entire dream sky, floating in the center, causing them to be shrouded in one of the largest shadows.
"Is it such a big library?" Arka looked at the huge library above his head, and everyone was shocked.
How many books do you have to have in such a large library?
"How many books have you read?" He couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Alka's words, Lucia smiled disdainfully.
"These are just books related to what you just said, and I haven't picked up any more books."
?
Arka looked down at Lucilia.
"So how old were you when you were alive? How long did you live? ”
Hearing this, Lucilia clenched her fist and slammed it on Arka's body, gently smacking it several times.
"No asking, no asking, go read your book."
After saying that, he directly teleported Alka into the library.
Seeing that the scene around her changed, Arka shrugged her shoulders and didn't care. Instead, he focused his attention on the scene inside the library.
The entire library is in a circular shape, with round wooden tables in the center. The wooden tables looked like they were tied to the entire library, like branches growing out of the ground and growing into tables and chairs.
The bookshelves are in a circular shape, with neat stacks arranged in a total of 6 rows, and there are also moving slides that act like ladders for picking up books.
This is much better than Arka imagined, with bookcases and shelves crammed together.
But this amount is also staggering enough.
"Tortoise, are they all these?"
If you have all of these, how long will you have to watch them?
Arka walked over and looked closely.
Then I saw that these books were all categorized and classified.
It can be roughly divided into ancient epics and myths, various historical miscellaneous, historiography, magic and mystery, spells and treasures, and geological environment and materials.
These are all books related to the transcendent world, and do not contain a larger category, and do not contain transcendent universal books.
The latter three categories are the focus of Arka's research.
Arriving at the area where these three types are stored, Arka noticed that many of the books above them were glowing with a faint golden light.
It was like reminding him that these books should be a priority.
It should be Lucilia's special annotation, after all, Lucilia has also done research with Arka, and she probably knows what kind of knowledge Arka needs.
First, Arka took a few research books related to mystery and magic, took them to the table and chair next to them, and began to look.
The three books were actually written in three different languages.
I'm convinced.
Fortunately, in the past few years that Arka has entered the transcendent world, he has not been idle.
The boredom of the sea caused Arka to study various languages and scripts with Lucilia from time to time.
After all, if you really want to work in this industry, you have to have a lot of language and writing, and they will deal with these things from time to time.
Otherwise, when looking for treasures, you may not even be able to see the information, so what is the treasure hunt?
Maybe the information of the treasure is hidden in those information, and your own people don't know it, it would be too embarrassing.
In addition to herself, Xia Daiti also had to study from time to time, in Lucilia's small class.
If you had this kind of learning energy in your previous life...... Forget it, don't think about that.
Calming down, Arka began to read quietly.
It seems that in order to facilitate Alka's reading, Lucilia made the entire dream world very quiet, the open-air library, the outside is the starry sky, but the inside of the library is unusually bright.
The first book Alka read was the symbolism used in ancient rituals and the construction of mantras from materials.
Especially in the worship of gods, symbolism is the most widely used.
Strange materials contain deeper symbols, corresponding to some phenomenal elements of nature, as well as natural laws, and even rules controlled by the gods.
It must have been superstition in the past, and even the previous Arka didn't care much about it.
He was more concerned with the magical flow of materials, and how to refine materials to carve spells to achieve the desired effect.
The symbolism of materials has never been thought of, and each piece of Arka used as a material for refining and depicting has an essential meaning.
There is never something useless, but symbolic.
For example, on the brightest night of the moon in summer, the first blue flower is picked in the garden where the moon shines directly.
It symbolizes the bright moon and consummation.
What the hell does it mean?
Seeing this, Arka is still confused, too abstract.
But after all, it is with the mentality of learning, and I will continue to read steadily.
Here's a more logical explanation.
This kind of flower is not limited to a certain type of flower, but as long as the flower meets the conditions, it can be called full moon blue light.
The practical role represented by its symbolism is related to the attributes of the moon's night.
Adding this material to any moon-related ritual can greatly increase success and effectiveness.
Add to other crafting materials or spell depictions, and you may be able to get the night boost or the moonlight boost.
Of course, there are some rituals.
After a cursory look at the book, Arka has a general understanding.
Symbolic objects and materials are difficult to obtain and need to be collected.
And the effect achieved is also very vague, if you want to achieve the effect you want, you have to have enough experience.
This is akin to an empirical course.
But it's really interesting, Arka sees several symbolic images related to hair in it.
Being plucked in different situations, being stimulated and used in different situations all symbolize different imagery.
Gradually, I became obsessed with learning.
……
Almost every night since then, Arka has been immersed in Lucilia's dream bubble in his dreams, studying in the library.
During the day, he shifts his focus to other places, such as more detailed observation and research of Er.
Alka has made an even more interesting discovery.
The reason why II is different from other doll girls is that there are other reasons besides the symbolism of hair.
The hair is actually part of the flesh, which is counted as the flesh material of the puppet, and is activated when the Crimson Banner is activated for enlightenment.
Coupled with a large amount of magic infusion, it lifted its strength into the second helix, which also further activated the hair.
Under the intersection of various reasons, this kind of effect is produced.
Such an effect is not irreproducible, it is an act that can be absolutely replicated.
And it doesn't necessarily need to be a hair strand, maybe a piece of blood and flesh can be used.
Alka's joy lies in the fact that he has figured out why this is the case, which has given him more experience and ideas for the rest of his production.
And the observation of the second also made Arka more and more happy.
Because of Er's emotions and the stimulation of her soul, she is more inclined to people in her usual actions and communications, rather than rigid dolls.
The main change comes from the fact that because of her appearance, Zero and One has also appeared obviously smooth and agile under her leadership.
It's not as stiff as it used to be.
She's bringing the good side of herself to other puppet girls, because of the conductivity of the treasure between them, this change is very fast, almost visible to the naked eye.
The specific reasons are strongly related to the treasure, but for more detailed reasons, Arka has not been fully studied.
Although these puppet girls were born from his hands, Arka knows less and less about them.
Instead, they have to rely on the study of their own creations to acquire more interesting techniques and knowledge.
