Hunting High School

"You learn the magic text, you must first understand what the magic text is."

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

"In the previous few lessons, you have a brief understanding of the origin, development and current situation of the runes; you know how to use the runes under what circumstances; you saw me and a devil Elder communicate through astronomy and finally reach an agreement."

Hearing this, Zheng Qing tried hard to resist the urge to roll her eyes.

Agree?

As soon as the big devil opened the magic door and poked its head out, it was beheaded by Professor Emma's spell and blocked the door again.

Then that poor head was bombarded with a mess of spells, from the neck to the tips of the hair, from the eyelids to the nose hairs, they were all sealed with colorful spells.

It wasn't until this time that the professor began to talk about astronomy to the strange visitor with a pleasant face.

The big devil who may be in The Underworld faces this terrible old witch, fully showing the young wizards in the classroom what it means to be complacent, resilient, enduring humiliation, and unyielding.

Zheng Qing is very skeptical about Professor Emma's answering and responding to every request. If it wasn't for the fact that its tail was locked at the other end of the magic circle, it would definitely be able to demonstrate to every student how Habagui is made. .

"In this lesson, we return to the source and start from the foundation of the birth of the rune."

Perhaps the atmosphere in the classroom was a bit weird, Professor Emma emphasized her tone and asked everyone a question:

"Who can tell me what is text?"

Zheng Qing sat up, frowning and thinking.

This is a very big subject.

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

Xin Fatty's chubby elbows defied all the others and took the most prominent place.

The professor applauded this positive attitude, nodded, and signaled Xin Fatty to answer this question.

"Writing is a symbol system used to record language, and it is a product of the development of human civilization to a certain extent." Xin Fatty's attitude is serious, and he does not have the usual hippie smiley expression at all, which looks quite serious: "It can be understood that in a convention system Next, symbols with agreed forms and meanings. Modern analysis believes that the main development direction of characters is phonetic and ideographic."

"Ordinary writing is probably like this." Ms. Emma supported the huge black frame on her face, nodded, and did not express any surprises: "However, for runic text, writing is everything! It is magic. The foundation of inheritance! Runes not only include fixed shapes, fixed expressions, and fixed combinations, but also other characteristics... We will gradually come into contact with them in later courses. Except for one point, runes have only one direction of development."

"Second question, what words do mortals use?"

Zheng Qing felt that he had to regain his position in the heart of this loving boss, so he quickly raised his hand honestly, and Ms. Emma looked through the roster and nodded.

"It should be the two major categories of pinyin and pictographs." Sensing 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:

"One kind of character is directly related to the meaning, and stipulates the meaning represented by the character. When there is a new meaning to be expressed, a new character is created through the name; the other is gradually developed through the connection between the meaning and the symbol... It should be like It’s the same as the two directions that student Xin mentioned just now.”

"The expression is cumbersome...but the general meaning is understandable." Ms. Emma frowned, clapped the thick handouts in her hand, and concluded, "It's just like what the two students above said."

"Human pronunciation is limited, and dozens of phonemes can be summed up. Each phoneme is represented by a symbol, and then the meaning is expressed through phoneme combinations. This is the simplest language system, just like the vulgar Latin, because it is simple. , so it is the choice of many secondary civilizations.”

"Or by constructing symbols, each scene has a symbolic representation, endowing this symbolic phoneme combination, and then expressing meaning, which is relatively complicated. Only the initial civilization can develop this kind of language. Now in the Baiding world, only China still has it. Relevant heritage."

"But the above mentioned are all mortal languages ​​and writing systems. For wizards, these concepts are only of certain reference significance."

"Mowen, the text that communicates the source of magic power, is another name for the high-level lingua franca of the universe. It is commonly known as 'tianwen' in the modern wizarding world, which means the text of the sky."

"Compared with ordinary text, magic text has two characteristics."

"First, symbols. There are only 365 rune symbols, each of which is unique. It is an integrated union with complex lines and three-dimensional structures. In other words, you are not capable enough to condense the rune!"

"Second, communication. The pronunciation of every rune must be expressed by combining the vibration of the soundtrack, the vibration of the spirit, and the image projected by the sight. If you don't have a wizard's talent, you will naturally be insulated from this kind of advanced language. "

"Many students will say in their studies that we can communicate with other beings in a very simple way through 'heart language' or 'ideas', etc. Why do we need to learn this cumbersome, complicated, and even seemingly outdated language? ?”

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.

This is also his very curious doubt.

For wizards, the powerful Mental Energy guarantees their ability to communicate with each other just by thinking. This simple method can be used even when communicating with strange races.

There is absolutely no need to make a fuss and learn this complicated and awkward rune.

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

"Mind communication is the simplest thing for many people."

"You only need a very simple spell foundation, and you can explore the secrets of other people's hearts through the ideas linked by others. But on the contrary, even if you have a very powerful ability, it is difficult to prevent others from prying into your spirit. So, go out To communicate, you must learn to protect your own thinking anytime, anywhere!"

"Wizards can have no hands, no eyes, no ears."

"But wizards can't be without brains."

"Our minds are our most precious possession...it is our only proof of independence from the world."

"Any attempt to influence your thinking can be seen as an act of 'blatant intrusion'."

"So no matter what happens, it's not an exaggeration for our minds."

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

"Compared with the dimension of time and space, this dimension is more secretive...but has a closer relationship with us."

"Since the rise of the Dimensional School, any category related to dimensions has been re-interpreted by wizards... According to the theory of this school, the interference of thinking on other dimensions is the fundamental source of wizard power. This emphasizes our importance to' Thinking 'safety concerns."

"Finally, the runes can communicate with the mysterious energy existing in the universe through multiple vibrations. Compared with the original lengthy spells, you only need one simple, or even half, or one-third of runes characters to complete the recitation .In a lot of times, that's a very clear advantage."

"In short, no matter whether you protect yourself or others, runes are very effective means."

"I hope!" Professor Emma paused heavily on the heavy handout, and everyone in the classroom cheered up.

"After one school year's study, each student can master 20 magic words, a fraction of 365 standard characters! Do you have confidence!"

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