Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Hearing "Hermit" Audris's explanation, the other members once again realized that "Hermit's" research was their knowledge blind spot.

For them, they had all heard of Giant language and Dragon language, and even learned or knew a little.

But they had never thought about how these languages were produced? And what is the difference between them and human languages?

So as they listened, everyone gradually became engaged, as if they had returned to school, back to their student days, listening to the teacher talk about some knowledge that was very unfamiliar to them.

Audris continued: "Later, Mr. Hermes invented Ancient Hermes language with reference to Giant language and Dragon language, and humans had their own language to communicate with nature.

"The birth of mystical symbols should be similar to this process. In the beginning, the ancient sages of mankind should have also improved upon the characters of dragons and other races to create common symbols that humans could use to communicate with nature.

"As far as I know, giants and dragons and other races all have their own exclusive mystical symbols.

"Those symbols were probably used in conjunction with the syllables that could mobilize spirituality and natural power. For example, the combination of Giant language and the mystical symbols used by giants can exert great power.

"So these symbols themselves have almost the same effect as Giant language and Dragon language.

"Unfortunately, they have basically been lost, because these mystical symbols are very difficult for humans to learn and use.

"And human mystical symbols did not continue to evolve and develop in the Second Epoch. By the Third Epoch, no one understood their inner meaning.

"So Ancient Hermes language is still unique to humans, and it can be used to complete sacrifices and rituals, and to mobilize spirituality and natural power.

"But we have not developed corresponding mystical symbols."

Speaking of this, Audris paused slightly, and "Justice" Audrey quickly asked: "Why did the development of mystical symbols stagnate?"

"There are probably two reasons." Audris continued: "The first reason is that in the Third Epoch, potion formulas gradually became popular, and humans could advance relatively safely according to the formulas and obtain more powerful extraordinary power.

"So it is enough to have a language that can complete prayers or sacrifices. There is no need to study mystical symbols that are relatively less powerful than extraordinary abilities and more complicated.

"The second reason is that in the Second Epoch, the various tribes that had little contact with each other before seemed to have a period of great integration.

"At this time, the alphabet system appeared and quickly replaced the characters used by the various human tribes before. A unified writing system composed of letters appeared, which is equivalent to completely losing the way for mystical symbols to develop."

The other members were a little confused and didn't quite understand what "Hermit" meant, but Klein behind the gray fog seemed to understand, after all, he knew the concept of hieroglyphs.

Audris knew that everyone didn't understand, so he further explained: "Everyone can imagine, in an era without writing, do you want to use a symbol to record the concept of 'wheat', is it to roughly draw the shape of wheat with lines? Or first invent a complex alphabet system, and then use words composed of letters to express the meaning of wheat?"

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they understood what "Hermit" meant!

The first to understand was Klein: Why didn't I think of these problems before? Human civilization must have used hieroglyphs at the beginning! Only after different civilizations begin to communicate and merge will phonetic writing gradually form.

This time, "Hanged Man" Alger was completely convinced: This research is indeed very in-depth and amazing.

"Magician" Fors was thinking: "Hermit's" assumption is very reasonable, but why haven't all the scholars before this put forward similar assumptions?

Then she thought: It's hard to imagine that ancient humans used a completely different writing system than modern times for a period of time! Are the languages they used also different from modern times?

Audrey directly exclaimed: "I didn't expect that our human writing has undergone a huge change!"

Then she asked: "That is to say, mystical symbols are actually a kind of symbols that humans intuitively express everything in the world?"

Audris smiled and said: "It can be understood that way."

At this time, "Sun" Derrick, who had been meditating just now, suddenly said: "Mr. Hermit, our Silver City is still using Giant language and the characters of the Giant race, but we have not felt that we can mobilize the power of nature in our daily communication and use of characters."

"This is what I'm going to say next," Audris said: "First of all, giants also have Giant language for daily communication. These languages have been simplified and will not drive the power of nature all the time.

"Another key concept is that the Giant language spoken by humans is different from the Giant language spoken by giants!"

Derrick was slightly stunned: "D... different?"

The other members also didn't understand, why is it different?

Audris thought for a while before saying: "It is not very obvious to use Giant language as an example. Dragon language should be used as an example. Now Dragon language has almost been lost, because many syllables cannot be pronounced by ordinary people!"

Klein was the first to understand again. He manipulated "World" and said: "The organs of pronunciation are different, so the syllables emitted are also different."

The other members were a little dazed. Yes, how can a human's vocal cords be the same as a dragon's vocal cords?

"That's right, the vocal cords are different." Audris smiled and said: "In addition, it is also because of the difference in the brain structure between us and dragons, so the internal logic of the language is different.

"But Dragon language has still been passed down, because potions will transform the bodies of extraordinary people, allowing extraordinary people to pronounce some syllables that only dragons can pronounce.

"This is also why Dragon language is not a very common mystical language. The reason why Giant language is more common is because the difference between the vocal cords of giants and humans is small, so some mystical enthusiasts can learn Giant language by themselves."

Audrey nodded slowly: Why have I never thought of these knowledge before, but after hearing Mr. Hermit say this, it makes people feel so logical?

Fors sighed in her heart: Mr. Hermit's logical ability is very strong! This reminds me of those knowledgeable professors I met during my university days.

Audris continued: "But the structure of giants and humans is still somewhat different. Although we can pronounce the sounds, we cannot achieve the effect of giants speaking Giant language.

"This is also why Mr. Hermes created Ancient Hermes language, because the Giant language we are using is itself a simplified and weakened version of Giant language.

"The same is true for Dragon language. It is difficult for humans to stimulate all the power and protection mechanisms contained in these languages, so when humans use Giant language and Dragon language, we will lack the necessary protection.

"Ancient Hermes language also has such drawbacks, but the modified Hermes language can provide sufficient protection for human spellcasters.

"The inherent reason is that Ancient Hermes language largely borrowed the expression methods of Giant language and Dragon language, while the modified Hermes language is completely based on human expression methods, so it is safe for humans."

The hall fell silent again, and everyone was digesting the information described by "Hermit".

After a long while, Alger said: "What about Elvish? It seems that Elvish is used even less than Dragon language now, right?"

Audris said: "According to my research, there are two language families in the existing ancient languages.

"Elvish is not in the same language family as Giant language and Dragon language, and everyone should also know that the languages commonly used in various countries in the Northern Continent now come from Ancient Feysac language, and Ancient Feysac language was originally a branch of Giant language.

"The language currently used in Silver City is similar to Ancient Feysac language. Although it is still called Giant language, it is also a branch, and it may even be the same branch as the source of Ancient Feysac language.

There is nothing wrong with the first release!

"But Elvish is another ancient language family. According to my research and observation, the Highland language in the Southern Continent now partially borrows the pronunciation of Elvish, and it is likely to be a branch of Elvish."

Alger nodded slowly: "The pronunciation of Highland language is indeed a bit unique."

Audrey asked again: "Mr. Hermit, where does the common language of the Southern Continent, Dutan language, come from?"

Audris smiled and said: "After answering your question, our transaction can only end here."

Although his above answer has not completely answered Audrey's initial question, it has far exceeded the value of 260 pounds, so the transaction can only end here.

Audrey immediately said: "I can pay you gold pounds, please continue to answer my questions."

Audris shook his head: "I don't lack gold pounds for the time being. If I have other needs, I will announce them, and then we will continue to discuss this issue."

Audrey was a little disappointed: "Okay then."

She didn't even think about exchanging the answer for mystical knowledge such as "acting method". Although these are some secret mystical knowledge, she estimated that "Hermit" must know it.

Audris began to answer Audrey's question just now: "Dutan language is not a language of the same origin as Ancient Feysac language, but from the root, it belongs to the language family of Giant language and Dragon language.

"Combining the beliefs of the Southern Continent, I guess Dutan language may come from the language of the Undying Bird race.

"It's just that some people speculate that the source of the Undying Bird race is in the 'Land of the Gods', so in the North and South Continents, Undying Bird language has been lost."

"Undying Bird." Audrey repeated the word, and she was indeed a little unfamiliar with this extraordinary creature.

She looked at "Sun" and asked: "Mr. Sun, have you heard of the Undying Bird race?"

Derrick replied, "Our geography lessons have related descriptions. It is said that the origin of the Undying Bird clan is in our north."

Audrey nodded, which made sense.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you for your answers. I've gained a lot."

This round of trading ended, and then "The World" said to "The Hermit," "Two weeks ago, I mentioned that I wanted to buy a 'Flame Arrow' from you."

Thank you all for your monthly tickets, here’s an extra chapter to show my appreciation ╰(￣▽￣)╭

I originally wanted to end this Tarot Gathering in this chapter, but I didn't expect so many things to happen this week, and it's not over yet.

The next chapter will discuss the Kapin case, and then this Tarot Gathering will be over.
