Monster Hunting High School

"When you study magic text, you must first understand what magic text is."

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

"In the previous few lessons, you have briefly understood the origin, development and current situation of magic words; you have known under what circumstances how to use magic words; you have seen me and a demon elder communicate through astronomy and finally reach an agreement."

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

Agree?

The big devil opened the magic door and just stuck his head out, but was cut off by Professor Emma's spell and the door was blocked again.

Then the poor head was bombarded with random spells. From the neck to the ends of the hair, from the eyelids to the nose hairs, they were all sealed with colorful spells.

It was only then that the professor began to talk about astronomy to this strange visitor in a pleasant manner.

The big devil who could turn the hell upside down faced this terrible old witch and fully demonstrated to the young wizards in the classroom what it means to be willing to compromise, to be able to bend and stretch, to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and to be tenacious and unyielding.

Professor Emma always answered questions and responded to every request. Zheng Qing was very suspicious that if it weren'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 to make a Haba ghost. .

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

Perhaps the atmosphere in the classroom was a little strange. Professor Emma increased her tone and asked everyone a question:

"Who can tell me what words are?"

Zheng Qing sat upright, frowning and thinking.

This is a very big topic.

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

Fatty Xin's chubby elbows defied all expectations and occupied the most conspicuous place.

The professor was extremely approving of this positive attitude. He nodded and signaled Fatty Xin to answer the question.

"Writing is a symbol system used to record language. It is a product of human civilization that has developed to a certain extent." Fatty Xin's attitude was serious, without his usual playful smile at all. He looked quite the same: "It can be understood that in an agreed system Below, a symbol with an agreed form and an agreed meaning. Modern analysis believes that the main development direction of writing is phonetic and ideographic. "

"That's about it for mundane words." Ms. Emma adjusted the huge black frame on her face and nodded without showing any surprise: "But, for magic words, words are everything! It's magic. The foundation of inheritance! Magic text not only contains fixed forms, fixed meanings, and fixed combinations, but also includes other characteristics... We will gradually come into contact with it in the following courses. Except for one thing, magic text has only one direction of development. "

"Second question, what words do mortals use?"

Zheng Qing felt that it was necessary to restore his position in the heart of this loving boss, so he quickly raised his hand honestly. Ms. Emma flipped through the roster and nodded.

"It should be the two categories of pinyin characters and hieroglyphics." 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:

"One kind of writing is directly related to the meaning, and stipulates the meaning represented by the writing. When there is a new meaning that needs to be expressed, a new writing is created through the title; the other is gradually developed through the connection between meaning and symbols... It should be like Like the two directions mentioned by classmate Xin just now.”

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

"Human pronunciation is limited. It can be summarized into dozens of phonemes. 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 secular Latin system, because it is simple. , so it is the choice of many secondary civilizations.”

"Or by constructing symbols, each scene has a symbolic representation, giving this symbol a combination of phonemes, and then expressing the meaning. This is relatively complicated. Only the initial civilization can develop this kind of language. Now in Baiding's world, only China still has it Related inheritance.”

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

"Magic writing is the text that communicates the source of magic. It is another name for the high-level universal language of the universe. In the modern wizarding world, it is commonly known as 'Tianwen', which means the writing of the sky."

"Compared with ordinary texts, magic texts have two characteristics."

"First, symbols. There are only 365 symbols in the magic text, and each one is unique. It is a combination of thoughts with complex lines and three-dimensional structure. In other words, you are not strong enough, and you cannot even condense the magic text!"

"Second, communication. The pronunciation of each magic text must be expressed by combining the vibration of the vocal cords, the trembling of the spirit and the image projected by the sight. If you do not have the talent of a wizard, you will naturally be insulated from this profound language. "

"Many students will say during their studies that we can easily communicate with other beings through 'heart language' or 'thoughts', etc. Why do we need to learn such a cumbersome, complicated, and even seemingly outdated language? ?”

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.

This was also a very curious question for him.

For wizards, strong mental power ensures their ability to communicate with each other using only their thoughts. Even when communicating with strange races, you can still use this simple method.

There is absolutely no need to go to the trouble of learning such a complicated and awkward magic text.

"Simply put, it's about protecting ourselves."

"Communication of ideas is a very simple thing for many people."

"You only need a very simple foundation of spells to explore the secrets of other people's hearts through the thoughts linked to them. 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 When communicating, you must learn to protect your thoughts anytime and anywhere!”

"A wizard can have no arms and legs, no eyes, no ears."

"But a wizard can't be without a brain."

"Our thoughts are our most valuable asset... They are our only evidence of independence from the world."

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

"So no matter how hard it is to prevent the slightest change, it is not an exaggeration for our minds."

“Thinking, thinking, dimensions of thinking, dimensions of consciousness.”

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

"Since the rise of the Dimensionists, any category related to dimensions has been reinterpreted by wizards... According to the theory of this sect, the interference of thinking in other dimensions is the fundamental source of wizards' power. This further emphasizes our understanding of ' Thinking about security."

"Finally, the magic text can communicate with the mysterious energy existing in the universe through various vibrations. Compared with the original long spells, you only need a simple one, or even half or one-third of the magic text characters to complete the chant. .  A lot of times, that’s a very clear advantage.”

"In short, whether you are protecting yourself or others, magic writing is a very effective method."

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

"After one school year of study, each student will be able to master twenty magic texts, a fraction of the 365 standard characters! Do you have confidence!"

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