Old-time musicians

After asking Sheeran this question, Fan Ning talked about some general information he knew:

"I only know from popular popular history books that the early part of the Third History belongs to the short-lived Noahic dynasty, and then the Tulungalia period that lasted for more than 1,400 years. This was a feudal dynasty that was at its peak. At that time, it once ruled almost all the territories in the world except the Southern Continent. It was later overthrown by its subsidiary country in the Northern Continent, the Hoffmann Empire. The third history also ended with its end. Google Search Read.

Sheeran held her small fist and put it against her chin to look at Fan Ning for a while, her eyes seemed to be filled with doubts: "Aren't I talking to you about the lack of adjectives and the beauty brought by metaphors?"

But she still said: "Actually, you have already covered the basic information. A more professional history book only has more information on the politics, economy, humanities of the Tulungalia dynasty, as well as some clearly recorded historical events. It’s just a detailed and more rigorous research…”

"I guess what you care about may be something biased towards secret history?"

"Of course." Fan Ning nodded, "Now we need to find the instigator behind the death of Teacher Anton. We need to decipher the document related to the 'Illusion Man Secret Technique' as soon as possible. Naturally, we need to focus on the more mysterious things. ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't paid attention to this before." Sheeran pursed her lips and thought, "But Joan did exchange a lot of information fragments with me about the secret history of the Tulungalia Dynasty. Later, my father and I were researching In ancient languages, many unusual things have been discovered based on this.”

Fan Ning's eyes lit up: "Tell me about it?"

"First of all, the name Tulungaria. Its pronunciation can be traced back to its origin. In fact, it is very similar to the pronunciation of an advanced vocabulary in the Noa language..."

"Um?"

This is normal. Tulungarian and Old Hofmann are originally two branches of the Noa language. The former more completely retains the inflection of the Noa language, while the latter is gradually subject to polymodal synthesis. influence of language.

"The word means: love."

"Love?" This statement made Fan Ning feel confused for a moment.

Maybe this can still be called the "Land of Love" or the "Dynasty of Love"? Isn’t this style of painting too inconsistent?

"By the way, why do you say it is an advanced vocabulary in Noah's language?" Fan Ning grabbed another question detail, "The word love should be the simplest and most basic in all languages. It is the most important word for young children to learn the language. One of the first batch of words to master..."

He thought for a while and then added: "Well, also, the pronunciation of 'love' is usually simple, but the pronunciation of the word 'Tulungalia' is relatively long and complicated. Is it possible that the pronunciation of the two is similar?" Just a coincidence?"

"The question you have is the same as the question we had at that time."

Sheeran explained: "However, we did a trial study"

"We tried our best to sort out all the words in Noah's language that have similar meanings to 'love' to the best of our ability, and later found more than seventy words! I even suspected that in fact, the word 'love' in Noah's language was The number of words has exceeded 100.”

"Their subdivisions focus on meanings including like, good impression, fascination, admiration, reverence, belief, attachment, nostalgia, belonging, and longing. Many complex inflection words are expressions of a certain type of context, such as great artistic personalities. Admiration for the opposite sex, long-term affection for the opposite sex, love for nature, attachment that has not been seen for many years, strong erotic attraction, a sense of belonging to the living world, longing for what is behind the hazy veil, and a deep sense of transcending life and death. faith, etc.”

"And the word 'Tulungaria' is the most serious, the most transcendent, the highest level, and cannot be abused among all the words for 'love' in the Noahic language. What it describes is divine love. , ecstatic love, supreme love, revealed love, angelic love, it is forbidden to be used as a verb in the sentence 'I love you'."

When Sheeran said this, his expression was a little strange: "If it is explained in this way, it is easy to understand that the Tulungalia Dynasty was named like this."

Fan Ning also nodded when he heard this.

It is equivalent to the named people claiming to be the "Holy Dynasty", and then their language becomes the "Holy Language".

"However, when we did more in-depth research later, it was a bit confusing..." Sheeran changed the topic at this time, "The word Tulungaria has multiple meanings in the Noahic language. In addition to 'love', It also has two other meanings.”

"Oh? What else do you mean?"

Fan Ning was not surprised by this. In this kind of language that uses words as units, the phenomenon of polysemy is too common. He was just a little curious.

"Terror." "And giants," Sheeran said.

Fan Ning frowned deeply: "To be honest, I was discussing rhetoric and 'love' all the way, and when you mentioned these two words to me, I suddenly felt a little scared."

"Same feeling." The little girl nodded with great approval, "However, the latter two semantics are extremely rare, and they rarely appear in the documents of Noah's period."

"I can roughly understand 'horror'." Fan Ning said, "If it is an emotion that reflects a transcendent category, the difference between 'love' and 'horror' is not so clear-cut. Similar words can often be seen in the lyrics of many church music. Parallel usage."

The same is true of the hidden knowledge he received when he was promoted: "... He separated your name from His servants, and the spirit that chants one of you is a burning candle... They are all terrible, loved, favored, contemplative, chosen by the Supreme, and those who receive secret transmissions..."

"But the other one..." Fanning's eyes flashed, "Giant Giant, this seems to be an ancient creature that exists in legends, yes, I thought of it-"

"The last symphony of the teacher (father)!" He and Sheeran suddenly said in unison.

The work that Teacher Anton conceived as his next symphony at the time actually only had one movement basically completed before his death, and according to the plan, it was planned to be placed in the position of the last movement.

As for the previous movement, it was only at the stage of discussing the music ideas with Fanning and Sheeran.

Sheeran opened the drawer, took out Professor Anton's notebook before his death, stood up, and came to the sofa to sit side by side with Fanning.

After Fanning took it, he turned to the manuscript score and spoke as if recalling or explaining: "In the only completed final movement, Teacher Anton conceived three main musical motives-"

"Human motive, F minor, the first half of the melody is a horn-like third + fifth interval, and the second half detours and jumps to the high octave, showing a confrontational effect, symbolizing heroism or humanity."

"Devil motive, fuzzy tonality, weird chromatic fragments, appearing in a triplet rhythm pattern, descending three times in a row, symbolizing fate or evil thoughts."

"Chant motive, D major, with the fourth interval as the core, continuous descending modulation, square rhythm, brilliant colors, symbolizing purification or divinity."

After Fanning explained the three musical images constructed by Teacher Anton in turn, he slowly said: "The first 'human motive' here, according to the teacher's idea at the time, is a metaphor for the ancient creatures in the legend: giants!"
