Chapter 156 Ancient Demon Language
The next day.
Mafa, the high priest of the Kerman tribe, announced a major transfer decision.
Led by the two elders, "Insect Master Elder" Yimuyu and "Rain Master Elder" Fufa, seven thousand elite Coleman warriors immediately headed south to carry out a secret mission.
Also traveling with them were Udo, old man Tuster and Carl.
This group of young and strong Coleman warriors didn't know where they were going and thought they were going to fight the "invaders", but a few elders knew that in the "Kalatwa Basin" in the south, a dangerous area full of earth dragons, there was a crashed flying mechanical city. They were going to build a new settlement there for the Coleman people to migrate and live!
But this isn’t the whole truth.
Only four people, the High Priest of Marfa, the two elders and Ryan, knew that the team was not going to open up new land, but was leaving the fire for the Coleman tribe chosen by the High Priest of Marfa.
The rest of the people were ready to fight the "invaders" to the death.
Tribe members, beliefs, ancestral teachings, selection of candidates...
The wise old man took all the sins and responsibilities on himself alone.
…
The weather is nice today.
In the village, thousands of Coleman warriors were ready to go.
The young male and female warriors waved goodbye to their family and friends one by one and mounted their Warcraft mounts.
In the team, there was a long line of domesticated monsters responsible for carrying heavy objects . Their mounts were hung with packages of various sizes, taking away almost all the spoils of war in the tribe, including ironware, artillery, and various Coleman tribe heritage books in storage rings...
Ryan said goodbye to the team in front of the village gate.
As the initiator of the tribal migration plan, he naturally did not go with them.
It would be very embarrassing to leave at this time.
Moreover, according to the current situation, it would take at least two or three months for the large army of the City of Glory to advance into the depths of the jungle. By that time, the basin would have already had a certain foundation, so it would not be too late to leave.
Of course, the most important thing is that the witch priest wanted Ryan to stay, saying that he wanted to ask him for something.
The father and son Tust were protected by Coleman warriors and rode on the Warcraft mounts.
"Brother Ryan, let's go!"
"Well! Be careful, saving your life is the most important thing..."
"I know..."
Little Carl waved goodbye to Ryan who was squatting on the stone.
There was no sadness in the young mechanic's eyes, only impatience.
Ever since the grandfather and grandson heard Ryan talk about the "airship wreckage" last night, the old and young mechanics were so excited that they almost didn't plan to set off overnight.
In the eyes of mechanics, there is nothing more fascinating than technology. Even if they heard that there might be a black dragon that has lived for who knows how many years, it did not hinder their determination to explore.
Now that they can travel immediately, the two mechanics are naturally very excited.
Tust's physical condition is getting better and better. He has as much energy as a young man and can even stay up late to study steam machinery.
The Coleman witch doctor's secret recipe for warming and nourishing is very effective. The old man insists on taking a medicinal bath every day and his body functions have recovered very well.
Now, even without the robotic arm, the old man can walk normally.
…
Two "legendary" elders, plus Grandpa Tust's "Big Muscle Deer God Armor", as well as seven thousand elite Warcraft warriors and the remains of the mechanical city.
It can be said that as long as they do not encounter the black dragon, the strength of this group of people is enough for them to gain a foothold in the dangerous "Kalatwa Basin".
Ryan wasn't too worried.
The long line was reflected in his eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the spark of civilization...
My thoughts drifted away, but I was pulled back by a female voice.
"Doctor Ryan!"
Wu Duo has become very familiar with Ryan during this period. Although she feels that there is something strange about this action, she still chooses to trust the decision of the witch teacher and go with him.
But she felt that without her to take care of Ryan's daily life, this guy who would forget to eat while meditating would definitely go hungry.
Riding on the back of the snow mastiff, the barbarian girl looked at Ryan and reminded him, "Doctor Ryan, I have arranged for the Mara priestess to take care of your daily life in the future. She will prepare food for you on time. Just tell her if you have any needs, and she will help you solve them..."
"Um."
Ryan nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Wu Duo, you should also pay attention to your safety..."
He didn't hear it wrong, nor did he think wrongly.
The name Wuduo means just that literally.
In the Coleman tribe's view, this is not something difficult to talk about.
If there is a need, it must be met. This is what all the men in the tribe do.
He had seen the young priest named Mara. She was pretty and had a pretty face. The key point was that she was of the right age and about the same height as Ryan...
I have to say, this girl Wu Duo is really thoughtful.
…
The team was delayed for several hours.
After Ryan watched the tail of the team disappear into the dense forest, he turned and went to the witch's bamboo building.
Recently, he has been coming to the bamboo house frequently because he has been helping the Coleman tribe record and organize classics.
The several big pythons under the bamboo building all smelled his scent and were very familiar with it. Occasionally, they would stick their big heads out to say hello to Ryan.
"Master Wuji, I am here."
Ryan pushed open the door and walked in as if he knew the way.
Mafa gave special instructions last night, asking him to come see him today.
Ryan didn't waste any time and got straight to the point: "Lord Mafa, is there anything you want me to do?"
The old man standing by the window looked at Ryan and said directly, "You have an extraordinary talent for learning languages, so I plan to teach you 'Ancient Demon Language'."
"???"
Ryan was confused. What was going on? "I heard from Wu Duo that the 'Ancient Demon Language' is something that only the descendants of witch priests can learn. Why are you teaching me?"
Monk's ancient language is a simplified branch of the "Ancient Demonic Language". It is a necessary skill for almost all high priests of the Coleman tribe and above.
But I've never heard of anyone who can speak the "ancient demon language" except Marfa.
Mafa was also very direct. He said, "Originally, this is what the 'Ghost Mushroom Elder' Dale is learning. Originally, he would have succeeded me as the next High Priest in the future. However, as you know, the war is urgent now, and the elders are all on the front line... Moreover, the 'Ancient Demon Language' has a high learning threshold. It is impossible to learn it without amazing talent. Dale's progress is not ideal..."
"oh."
Ryan also understood, and said, "So, you plan to let me help you learn first, and then teach others in case...?"
I thought that the old man probably wanted to be on the safe side.
In case anything happens to Elder Daler, at least there will be someone to inherit the language skills necessary for a great witch priest.
"Yes."
Mafa also said bluntly, "I plan to let you learn it first, and then let Wuduo learn the 'Ancient Demon Language' from you."
"oh."
Ryan also understood that he was a "human USB flash drive" for transmitting data, and asked curiously: "By the way, Master Marfa, what is the use of 'Ancient Demon Language'?"
This continent has existed for countless years, and there are countless different scripts.
Languages that are not circulated are actually not very useful except for the occasional archaeological translation of some incomplete documents.
Marfa: "Communicate with the will of the gods."
Ryan: "What else?"
Marfa: “No more.”
Ryan: "Is there any top-secret book that needs to be translated into Demonic language?"
"No. Even if there is, it has already been translated by our ancestors."
Marfa: "But our Coleman witch priests have passed down a saying. The higher the level of inheritance, the fewer written records there are. No matter what level of transcendence humans are at, the world you think you see is actually only the part you can understand. The lower the level of writing, the more detailed it is, but it also distorts the original meaning. And demon language is the way of communication that can best understand the original intention of the demon god."
“…”
After hearing this, Ryan felt that this "ancient demon language" was useless.
He is not a Coleman priest, nor does he believe in any gods. God's will probably not be communicated to him.
If he wanted to learn a language with his brain, Ryan would definitely shake his head and refuse when he heard this request.
But with his "smart brain", learning languages is not difficult at all, and there is no harm in learning an extra skill.
Without thinking, he said, "Okay, let's learn it."
But this study,
Only then did Ryan realize that this language was not that simple.
…
Legend has it that language and writing were originally abilities passed down to humans by gods.
The original characters were not just pictures that could be seen by the naked eye, but also contained "meaning" and "knowledge". Only the prophets could understand God's will.
Later, in order to enable ordinary people to understand the oracles, the prophets created advanced writing and passed it on to human wise men.
The wise further simplified the words and added explanations, creating the simplest words layer by layer. ( Excerpted from the previous article)
If "Monk's ancient language" can be said to be a high-level language, then "ancient demonic language" is the kind of language used to communicate directly with God.
Why is it difficult to get started?
Because a character not only contains a pattern, but also "meaning" and "knowledge".
The Great Shaman of Mafa does not know many words of the "ancient demon language", probably only about one or two hundred, all of which are simple vocabulary.
But just these one or two hundred words contain huge hidden meanings that require dozens of times more words to explain than lower-level words.
Just like the classical Chinese in Ryan's previous life, it was common for one word to have multiple meanings.
What’s more, the weirdest thing is “pronunciation” and “writing”!
The pronunciation of the demon language does not seem to be suitable for the human vocal tissue, and it is so low that it makes people feel creepy.
If Ryan had not advanced to the second level of transcendence and awakened his super high "auditory perception", his ears would not even be able to capture the low frequency of the sound.
Moreover, the demon language is not a flat font written on paper, but a three-dimensional structure. Adding the concept of "intention", it should be considered a four-dimensional or even higher-dimensional thing.
Mafa used his fingers as pens and light as ink to write strange "symbols" in the void.
As soon as these "symbols" are written, they seem to come alive. If you look closely, you will find that the fonts seem to convey some "meaning" and "knowledge" to you.
That is something beyond cognition...
It’s like two-dimensional creatures can’t understand the concept of time, just like summer insects can’t talk about ice.
Because you don’t have the concept of “intention” in your cognition, you cannot understand it.
This is the language to communicate with the gods!
If it weren't for Mafa's continuous explanation, conveying the meaning of these symbols to Ryan in a way that was almost like "initiation", he would have no idea what he had just seen, or perhaps he would not have been able to see it at all.
It cannot be explained clearly in a few words, it’s just a “meaning”.
If we have to translate the word just now, Ryan himself would say, " It can only be understood but not expressed in words."
At this moment, he finally understood why some mysterious and extraordinary people spoke in a mysterious way and did not explain clearly.
I'm not trying to be profound, but those who understand will understand; if you don't understand, even if I explain it to you, it will be beyond your knowledge and you will not be able to understand it.
…
After learning this, Ryan became obsessed with it and felt extremely overwhelmed.
Even with the help of an intelligent computer, he still found it extremely difficult.
The intelligent brain can remember pronunciation, remember graphics, and remember the meaning of the explanation given by the Great Shaman of Mafa, but Ryan himself must comprehend the "meaning" and "consciousness".
That "meaning" is very mysterious. You may remember it in the last second, but forget the feeling in the next second.
I can’t describe it with words, so I can only feel the exact “meaning” again to remember what the “meaning” I understood before was…
However, this learning progress is countless times higher than that of ordinary people.
