Chapter 25 "God's Gate"
"This kind of text... Can you understand it even by classmate Mu Xiu? I feel a little dizzy just by looking at it."
The debt steward kept his mood and tried not to let the sadness affect him. He tried hard to squeeze out his smile and expressed his surprise in a calm tone as possible.
He narrowed his eyes carefully and had a little redness. He used the magic to create the light of a ball of light swaying in the air, trying hard to clearly identify the huge patterns on the mural and the strange graphic characters engraved next to it.
Then, I just felt weird and uncomfortable.
——This is the first feeling and all the feelings that Ayazaki got after taking a look at it, and there was nothing else.
The patterns on the murals themselves are very distinct in style and colors, but without relevant experience, he cannot see what these murals want to express. They can only feel a strong ancient charm and a profound historical and mysterious vicissitudes.
As for the text itself, Ayazaki didn't know it for granted.
And not only do you just don’t recognize it, but you will feel uncomfortable from the bottom of your heart when you look at that font. You will feel dizzy and tinnitus, as if the discomfort and nausea emerge directly from the depths of your soul.
He had a vague premonition, even if he had no reason, he did notice the danger.
At this moment—
"That kind of graphics... is the text carrier of "unified speech" that ordinary people cannot understand."
Erzhigong Yicheng raised a sleeve to cover his mouth and whispered behind the debt steward. She was tactfully reminding the other party not to over-exploration of the mysterious essence.
"So please do not continue reading, because the more impressions you leave, the greater the burden on your spirit will be on Xiao Sa, and forced memory may even be erased."
Some things have no tendency in themselves, but they cannot change the heavy fact that humans cannot bear their true nature.
The most intuitive example is pure oxygen. Human living conditions cannot be separated from the supply of oxygen. However, if the atmospheric environment of the planet becomes a component of pure oxygen, it can exterminate humans.
And most importantly, their essence is not "evil" specifically targeting humans.
Even the world that was once still an indispensable element, can only be said to be too much or too little.
“Unified speech?”
However, Ayazaki felt a little puzzled because he had never heard of such a language in history, and it was incompatible with Semitic, Indo-European and other painting styles.
And it sounds very dangerous, but-
"What language is that? I don't seem to have heard of it."
This should not be a language and culture unique to a country or race, right?
"Yes, that is actually a mythology and legend. It is said that in the mythology era, there is only one language in the world. It is not only a common language for mankind, but also a common meaning of all things..."
The kimono girl just nodded slightly at this, and her voice became solemn.
"Is it called a unified language because everything is common? If it is... wow! I, Miss Yi Cheng?!" The debt steward nodded thoughtfully, and then he realized it later and was scared to the point of almost flying out of the sky.
He turned around until he jumped out three or four meters away like a conditioned reflex and opened a certain distance, and only then did he realize that the girl with long black haired kimono appeared behind him.
"Miss Yicheng!! Why are you here?!"
“…”
“…”
The surroundings became silent for a moment, and a delicate atmosphere spread in this sudden silence.
"I don't think this matter is clear at a glance? She probably got lost. Ayanaki, you have to get used to it. You have to know that this kind of reasoning is just a bonus question."
Mu Xiu's expression on one side remained unchanged at all, as if he was used to it. He gave Ayazaki Sa, showed a confident smile, and fully expressed the calmness that the so-called accustomed to him should be.
The debt-debt steward who reacted immediately covered his forehead and showed a laughing and crying expression on his face: "If you give me points, please spare me. How could there be such common sense in this world?"
And at this moment, the Luzhigong Yi Cheng's eyes wandered and a suspicious blush appeared on his face.
In the end, she seemed to have made up her mind. Although she hesitated, she still said hesitantly: "That--what direction is it in which horse training?"
“…”
“…”
She was indeed lost!
Here we want to popularize science. Nymma District is located in the northwest of Tokyo 23, and now it is the underground space of Mykonos Island in Greece.
Although it is not as exaggerated as half of the earth's distance, it is definitely not the two places that ordinary people can directly cross by getting lost.
"To be honest, this is no longer a matter of direction... If Miss Yicheng is not in a hurry to go back, we will set off together in a few days."
Mu Xiu sighed and said so.
Icheng, the Luzhigong, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly, agreeing with the proposal. Then she turned her head and looked around, as if she was looking for a direction to leave: "Then are we going out now, Mr. Mu Xiu?"
"……no."
The boy was silent for a moment, then decisively chose the negative option, and turned his head back to look at the huge painted wall.
Just like the tall walls and columns around, the painted wall is nearly 100 meters wide and is close to twenty floors high. It looks particularly magnificent and magnificent.
"Mr. Mu Xiu, let's go. I think what is written on it... is not a good thing." Lu Zhigong Yicheng showed a troubled expression and lowered his eyes and said faintly.
"Can you understand these words, Miss Yicheng?" Mu Xiu cared about it, but another key point.
"Well, in the era before the confusion of words, the only language carrier in the world... Legend has it that God messed up the language, and before the gods were disrupted, the only language in the world was shared." The kimono girl said softly, and her eyes became solemn as she looked at the mural.
Most people have probably heard of the myths and legends about the Tower of Babel. It is said that humans at that time united to build a tower that hoped to lead to the sky.
In order to prevent humans from planning, God asked humans to speak different languages so that humans could not communicate with each other. The plan failed and humans disperse from then on.
Because as humans think, it is easy for God to come to build a high tower and set up a temple on the top of the tower.
But as God sees it, he only thinks that it is quite arrogant for humans to approach heaven, so he destroys the tower.
"This language is not just about letting humans communicate with each other, but directly talking to the world and everything is common. In fact, I also determined the existence of this language from the spells called "concept sending and receiving" mastered by those visitors from other worlds..."
Isumi's tone was very hesitant, but he still slowly expressed his opinion.
Concept sending and receiving?
Mu Xiu thoughtfully and understood that what she was talking about was the special communication spell mastered by visitors from other worlds such as the brave and the devil, and the spiritual spell that communicates information across planes through direct transmission and reception concepts.
Because the meaning they want to express is directly converted into concepts and sent out, the person receiving it will naturally understand the meaning of the information.
Even if the birth background, belief, principle, and even thoughts of both languages are completely different, it will not hinder the normal progress of communication—
To some extent, is this equivalent to a weakened version of unified speech in another sense?
"Because there is a unified language, should there be a unified text?" The debt steward frowned. "Although I don't know it very well, I also know that it is the myth of the Gate of Gods circulating in Babylonia... But isn't this a ruin of ancient Greece?"
Babylonia belongs to the ancient cultural area of the Euphrates Valley in southwestern Asia. That area was originally divided into two parts, one was Sumer in the southeast and the other was Akkad in the northwest.
Ancient Greece was one of the main sources of Western civilization, not the concept of a country, but the title of a region.
It is located in southeastern Europe, northeast of the Mediterranean Sea, including the Greek Peninsula, the archipelago and islands on the Ionian Sea, along the southwestern coast of Turkey, eastern Italy and eastern Sicily.
These two places are simply inseparable from each other!
"So this proves that in the older ancient past, it is possible that language and words are unified and meanings are shared..." Mu Xiu was silent for a moment and said.
Perhaps the specific records of God who caused the speech to be disturbed are not so credible, but they are basically certain.
The true mythological era is all-round superiority, including language and writing.
In fact, Yi Cheng of the Lu Palace was able to interpret this kind of text because she might have mastered the advanced magic of conceptual transmission and reception, while Mu Xiu mastered the real skills of speaking because of the power of the incarnation of the "young man".
These two skills are more or less related to the only language in the legend that can talk to the world and determine meaning.
Going back to the topic, people's language is messed up by God. God believes that if he cannot communicate, people will not be able to build a building as huge as the Tower of Babylon—
Aside from the specific credibility of this legend, perhaps there was indeed a God who was once called the concept of Almighty, who split the language of the world for some reason?
In connection with the thoughts about fate and cause and effect that he had thought about before, Mu Xiu's expression became a little strange.
Although the debt steward and Isumi-Green Palace are unknown, he can see his expression with the help of a slightly dim and soft light. It is a expression mixed with many emotions, so complex that it is unreadable.
Soon after calming down, Mu Xiu asked indifferently to Yi Cheng, the palace of Heron: "Miss Yi Cheng, what do you mean by interpreting it? What I read is also incomplete, maybe we can confirm it with each other."
“…”
“…”
The kimono girl was a little reluctant. She still felt that the things recorded on the mural were not a good thing. If it was related, it would lead to misfortune. However, after all, Mu Xiu had never rejected her request before.
So for granted, she had no way to refuse the party like this.
"What I can see is... "In the stone pillar forest in Abrasa, holding a sword and proclaiming justice... In this way, the road will open."
"What does it mean? What road will open?" Ayazaki Sa felt that the more she listened, the more confused she became, and she couldn't understand what this meant.
"The grammar behind is a bit strange. In addition to the previous "Gate of God" corresponding to the Tower of Babel myth, there is also "the castle where God lives"..."
Yi Cheng of the Heron Palace slowly lowered his head, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes.
"It is probably said that as long as the road is opened, the door of God can be opened and the will of heaven will be achieved... It is not a symbolic meaning, but that the person who opens the door will truly arrive at the castle in which God lives, standing in the center of the world!"
“…!!”
The debt steward suddenly felt shocked because he had heard this statement a long time ago.
