Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 363 Important Formula

"Your luck is actually pretty good, right?"

"I feel the same way. What I'm thinking is, if we were unlucky, we might have ended several times earlier. But did you have any preparations for that scene?"

"I want to ask, what happens if you are not prepared?"

"Then it might... how to put it?" She pondered for a moment, "It might 'become a spirit'. I read that's what it says in "Liao Zhai". The most reasonable fairies under natural conditions may appear there."

"Huh?" Shangluo touched his head - he thought for a long time and still couldn't figure out what kind of goblin could escape from the teapot.

"Anyway, it's really useful, so I'll accept it."

"Then wrap it up for you when you leave. Then the most important thing is that you need to use black stones to build a continuous big dream. Are you ready? If you are, we will go to the conference room next door to sign."

Ordinary room, ordinary table, ordinary scenery outside.But Shangluo knows that everything in this ordinary setting is just the default setting, and he can switch to any place if necessary.

Victoria came up with the agreement she had prepared long ago.

"This is a confidentiality agreement." Victoria explained, "I have to ask you to sign this - because the method of constructing the Great Dream is too simple, so that it will make people have unreasonable thoughts about the remaining black stones."

"Too simple?"

"Yes. It's so simple that anyone can brew their own dream just by snatching away the black stone. When you sign, I'll tell you and you'll know."

"Okay." Shangluo looked at the confidentiality agreement first.The confidentiality agreement is in duplicate in Latin and Chinese.But this.
"Are you sure this is Latin? It wasn't translated for me?"

This was Shangluo's first time reading large sections of professional Latin literature on his own.But this seems to be different from the Latin in my "impression".

Indeed, Phaethon said before that the Romans used a large number of Chinese characters to write proper nouns in various disciplines. Victoria just mentioned that there is a word like "Emperor" that is completely Chinese from writing to pronunciation.

But he didn't expect that there were so many - a whole page was almost entirely filled with Chinese characters. Except for prepositions, conjunctions and the like, nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and the backbone of all sentences were all written in Chinese characters, even the labels. Not marked.

Except for nouns, verbs and the like are not entirely written in Chinese characters.Just add the affix of Latin letters after the stem written in Chinese characters to express information such as perfect tense and progressive tense.These Latin texts are written in capital Latin letters and Chinese characters side by side.

And although there are many Chinese characters, this seems a bit cumbersome.Because the common word order in Latin is subject-object-predicate, with the subject and object first and the verb at the back, the reading order is different from that in Chinese.In addition, even if Latin words are scrambled, they can still express their meaning to a certain extent, because the relationship between the components of the sentence has been clearly expressed through "declension".

"How about it, can you read it?" Victoria asked.

"Well, I can guess based on the words. But I don't know how you change the declension of these words, so some key information will be lost. Generally speaking, I can only understand what topics are expressed in each of these sentences. , when it comes to the direction of verbs and the attribution of nouns, I can’t understand it at all.”

"That's true. After all, we only used Chinese characters to express it and did not change the structure of Latin itself, so it is still quite difficult for you to read it."

"By the way, why is this? I remember Phaethon mentioned before that it was because of the 'Language of Eden' or something like that. What is that?"

"Yeah" Victoria nodded, "This is actually very close to the recipe for brewing a big dream. Do you want to know?"

"Tell me about it?" "In other words, it is Clavis Sinica. We use it because the Romans clearly understood that we are a secondary civilization. In fact, it is not just the Latin Romans, we The Greeks also knew that there was the Mycenaean civilization before us, and that there were civilizations far older than us. Our writing has lost the most basic understanding of things. For example."

She thought for a while: "Directly: hen, chick, and rooster are three unrelated words in Latin. But if we use Chinese characters to represent them, we know that they are all 'chickens'. These 'ey' words "Cognition of Eden", as a secondary civilization, we have lost it, but yours is still there. In Chinese characters, Eden information such as ideograms, meanings, definitions, abstract concepts, etc. are still retained. This is very important - and actually , we have even changed the colloquial word for chicken, so that it corresponds to the two words hen and chicken respectively, as well as chicken and rooster. This is only reasonable."

"Then why don't you use Egyptian writing?"

"Because the Egyptians are too lazy! There are too many phonetic components in Egyptian writing, and the ideographic components are ridiculously small, and all of them are masters of children's simple drawings. It is useless to learn it. It is better to learn Sinian characters to fill in the gaps between Egypt and Egypt. It is convenient to communicate with Cathay people while collecting information. Hmm."

She looked at the agreement in front of her: "But after learning this, you are considered a master. It is estimated that in a while, we will be able to completely use the Sinian script as a written language like the Koreans. By then, most of you will be able to understand it directly. "

"Then you will be the ones who can't understand it, right? There is a complete disconnect between written and spoken Korean."

"It doesn't matter, these are necessary sacrifices. Have you decided? Once you decide, you can sign."

"no problem."

As usual, this oath was sworn to the River Styx.This oath can even bind Helios himself, which is quite powerful.

He took out his seal, stamped it, and signed his signature.

"Okay, I'll tell you the recipe now."

Victoria breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you remember what I said before? I said this is very similar to the Eden script. So where is the record of the Eden script in Cathay?"

"Are you an oracle bone inscription? The earliest system of writing currently is oracle bone inscriptions."

"The oracle bones have been buried in the ground for a long time, and some have weathered - what are those that record more and more information, record everything about all life on earth from ancient times to the present, and melt their biggest dreams? Let me remind you. , it is buried deep in the ground, carrying the deep dreams of all things that have passed.”

"oil?"

"Yes. So just take a jar of tar, grind up the black stone and throw it in. The black stone will melt when it encounters the tar, and then it can be used."

"Huh? That's it?"

"Yes, that's it. That's why I said it must be kept secret - this thing is similar to the recipe for alchemy. If you don't keep it secret, anyone who sees the recipe can steal the black stone and go home to brew the Great Dream. ”

"Good guy! Grinding up the black stone and throwing it in is really similar to grinding up the oracle bone and using it as medicine."

"Right, that's why I said it's very similar, very similar."

"But we later discovered that oracle bone inscriptions can be deciphered. Then you"

"There is nothing you can do about it, just grind it up first and use it. After throwing it into the tar, the big dream will be brewed, and the human dream will melt in the bigger dream. As for how to interpret it in the future, that is a matter later. In short Let’s use it first and then talk about it. Remember to add a little tar in it from time to time, and refill it frequently.”
