Chapter 3454 Obscure
The main reason why there is this feeling that "the words are growing out of the paper" is that... Angel did not close the Eye of Narda.
The Eye of Narda can observe information about materials.
For known material information, the displayed content will be relatively detailed; while for unknown material information, it is divided into "relatively unknown" and "absolutely unknown".
"Relatively unknown" material information will not be marked with the name of the material, but will only show a part of the introduction related to the material's properties, and through calculations by the "server", its origin and properties will be speculated.
"Absolutely unknown" material information will directly display "???".
Through the observation of Narda's Eye, the material information floating on the leather paper is all "???", and they are all related to the leather paper, and none of them are related to the "ink seal" material.
It's as if the ink seal doesn't exist.
This made Angel very surprised.
However, Angel also understood that no matter how surprised he was, there was no way to get the answer at this time, so he could only suppress his doubts for the time being.
Putting aside his doubts about the material, Angel looked at the specific content of the "Prologue".
The prologue does not contain much content, only four sentences.
But every sentence seems to be encrypted. Angel can understand every word above, but he doesn't know what it means -
After Angel finished reading, he was still confused.
After a while, he came back to his senses and tried to understand these four sentences with his own thinking.
The first sentence seems to be introducing yourself? After all, the author of "Book of Stars" is known as the Son of the Stars.
However, why do we say that the "Son of the Stars" is not a person, but the messenger of the stars?
Is this a general term? Or is it similar to a religious fanatic who has reached the extreme level of belief and has abandoned his own personality?
The second sentence seems to hint at the identity of the reader, but what is the "power of the stars"? Is it similar to the power of astrology?
The third sentence...
"I hope I can find my own star spirit." Angel muttered in a low voice. Hmm, I didn't understand.
Star spirit is a pronoun? Or is it some kind of spirit?
The last sentence, the fourth sentence, is, "The stars will always watch you." Angel could understand the literal meaning of this sentence, but he always felt that it had a deeper meaning.
Because generally speaking, it is "people" who look at the "starry sky"; but here the "starry sky" is personified, and the "starry sky" looks at "people".
This is obviously an allusion.
However, just like the other three sentences, Angel had no idea what he meant.
"Is this really an encrypted document, specifically for astrologers to read?" Angel silently complained in his heart while flipping through the pages.
I would like to see if there is any relevant introduction in the following article.
The next page immediately following the prologue goes directly to the main text without even a table of contents.
The content of the text is also very concise, with pictures and words on every page.
The accompanying pictures are basically "starry sky pictures", similar to the "constellation pictures" Angel saw on the holographic tablet. On the dark background board, several strangely arranged stars light up, and these stars are connected into a line. , forming a wonderful pattern.
As for the picture on the first page, several stars are connected together like an "undulating curve".
Below the pattern is - matching words.
Angel briefly read the captions on the first page and wrote in, followed by a number "3489". It seems to refer to the 3489th rain astrology?
The following explains in detail what this astrology means from various angles.
For example, from a prayer perspective, rain astrology 3489 represents tepid abundance. ―From Angel’s understanding, there is no good thing and no bad thing?
For another example, from an astrological point of view, the rain horoscope 3489 represents the chanting of stars and spirits, which brings misfortune and mourning, as well as joy and gain. ――With Angel’s understanding, he just...can’t understand it.
And from the perspective of the protoss, rain astrology 3489 represents 1/3 excess, 7 times overload, and timing 339 seconds...
In addition to prayer, astrology, and the perspective of stars and spirits, there are also torture perspectives, battle perspectives, life star perspectives, and the perspective of all things... one astrology is explained for more than ten pages, and each page is densely written and covered from different angles. Different answers.
But these answers are all vague.
In short, Angel knew most of the words, but not every word could be interpreted by Angel.
Angel looked through the following text again, and found that it was basically the same. The front was a diagram of the stars, and the back was an explanation of the relevant angles.
Various formulas and coincidences, various calculations, various ambiguous answers.
Of course, there are some differences, including hundreds of pages of encrypted text written with strange "star" symbols. Angel could not decipher these symbols even if he used "language analysis". They are probably from the owner of the power of the stars. Unique password.
Angel looked dizzy.
Finally, Angel closed "The Starry Sky Book" before his eyes were occupied by a large number of numbers. He couldn't understand it. He really couldn't understand it. He couldn't even judge the value of "Book of Starry Sky".
Angel has heard a saying, "Books also pick people." There is a high probability that this book is not picking on you.
One hand rubbed his swollen temples, and the other hand held the large "Book of Starry Sky" in the palm of his hand and handed it to Laplace next to him.
"You should keep this book and give it to Gleipnir later."
"I... just feel anxious when reading this book."
As a researcher and a scholar, I feel inexplicably anxious because I can't understand the book.
Laplace had noticed the bitterness on Angel's expression, chuckled, and took the "Starry Sky Book": "This book is a heavenly book for those who don't understand it."
"Even for me, it's hard to understand this book."
Laplace's words made Angel exclaim "Huh", turned his head and looked over: "You can't understand it either?"
Laplace nodded: "Even though Gleipnir and I share memories, you have to know that memory does not represent ability."
Memory does not represent ability... Angel's eyes were dazed for a moment, and suddenly thought of the previous experience of breaking through the Sunshine Circus.
"It's similar to Luigi getting full marks in the Sunshine Circus, and you only got 13 points."
Laplace: "..." The memory that had been deliberately forgotten was brought up again, and Laplace felt as if he shouldn't have answered the question just now.
Although the dead memory attacked him again, Laplace still suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and said calmly: "You can say that."
Luigi has unparalleled performance talent. Laplace can share all of Luigi's memories and understand Luigi's performance skills, but she can never reach Luigi's level of performance.
This is the so-called "memory does not represent ability".
Similarly, Laplace has all of Gleipnir's memories and understands her operations when doing astrology, but asking her to do astrology...there is no way.
Because, there are memories, knowledge, but no talent.
And if you want to read the "Star Book", only those with talent can read it. Laplace is not a gifted person. If she reads the "Star Book" by force, her situation is actually not much different from Angel's...
Maybe it's better than Angel. After all, Laplace also knows a lot of astrological knowledge, but she does not have the power of the stars, so she can understand at most 50% of the "Star Book".
On the other hand, with Laplace's "consolation", Angel's panic finally calmed down a little.
After all, even Laplace couldn't understand it, so it was normal for him not to understand it.
After a period of inner indulgence, Angel restrained himself a little and talked about the main topic: "What kind of book is "Star Book"?"
Laplace: "What do you want to know?"
Angel knew that it would be difficult to get an answer by asking about the main text. Reading the main text requires talent, especially when there are cipher texts in it.
So, Angel reached out and turned the "Star Book" to the "Prologue".
"Just explain these few sentences." Angel: "The rest... I don't need it."
Laplace looked at the four sentences in the prologue. As someone who has Gleipnir's memory, she can probably understand what it means.
But this also involves some "star-only" theories, such as the last two sentences, which she can explain but not necessarily clearly.
So, she thought for a while and said, "If you have anything to say, just ask directly in the mind band. I will help you convey it to Gleipnir and let her answer you."
"It just so happens that she is fine..."
Angel nodded. He probably knew the situation at the Cloud Cave venue... because he could sense from time to time that strangers were logging into the Dream Crystal Plain.
These newcomers, without a doubt, should be the guests attending the Cloud Cave venue.
The guests at the venue were trying to "open their eyes" in the Dream Crystal Plain, and Gleipnir was not online. It is estimated that he did not want to go online to lead the newcomers.
Since she was not online, she must be free.
Angel asked in the mind band: "The first sentence of the prologue says that the Son of the Stars is not a person, but a messenger of the Star Spirit. What does this mean?"
After a while, Gleipnir's voice came from the mind band. - Of course, this was simulated by Laplace.
Gleipnir: "Before answering your question, I want to know, do you know anything about 'Star Spirits'?"
Angel shook his head directly: "Not really, is it some kind of spirit?"
Gleipnir chuckled and said: "Spirit? There are indeed such spirits as Star Spirits, but the 'Star Spirits' mentioned in the preface of the Book of Stars are not spirits."
"But... the Star Spirit Realm."
Angel's eyes widened, and his mind was full of: "???"
Star Spirit Realm, does it mean the world?
"It seems that your knowledge of the starry sky is very poor." Gleipnir did not explain what the Star Spirit Realm was, but changed the subject and asked: "What do you think the starry sky is like?"
Angel: "I don't understand what you mean."
Gleipnir: "When night falls, the thin clouds disperse. If you look up at this time, you should be able to see endless stars. In your opinion, what do these stars mean?"
Angel did not answer immediately, but fell into a period of contemplation.
Because of Gleipnir's words, he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu and remembered some things from a long time ago.
When he was very young, so young that his knowledge of the world was only a small piece of land in Gru Town, Jon, as an enlightenment teacher, used various methods to let Angel know the world.
Angel was also very happy with Jon's teachings.
At that time, Angel was full of curiosity about the world and felt that Jon knew everything. He knows why flowers are fragrant, why dandelions are blown by the wind, why the stones in each section of the river have different shapes, and why waterfalls are formed...
When he asked his father, Pat, about these questions, Pat didn't know anything about them.
Therefore, Angel admired Jon at that time.
If he had any questions, he would ask Jon.
One night, he leaned on the railing of the stilted building, looked up at the night sky, looked at the stars all over the sky, and asked curiously: "Why are there so many stars in the sky?"
He thought Jon would give him a scientific answer, as he always did.
But Jon was silent at this time, and after a long time he said: "If it were in my universe, I would tell you that most of the stars in the sky are stars. The flickering light spots in the sky are probably infinitely far away Place, a spark that burned countless years ago.”
"But in this world, I don't know how to answer you."
Angel didn't understand what Jon meant at that time, and he didn't know what Jon meant until he grew up.
The universe where the earth is located and the universe where the wizarding world is located have different basic laws. It is difficult to tell whether the stars in the sky are distant stars.
That's why Angel had such a strong sense of déjà vu when Gleipnir asked this question.
This moment feels like that time.
Angel pondered for a long time before speaking: "I once heard someone mention that the stars in the sky are the projection of the world."
Yes, the stars that the wizarding world considers are not stars, but a projection of a world, or a plane. They hang high in the night, telling all living beings in their own way: This universe is very big, and there is more than one civilization like you humans.
Hearing Angel's answer, there was a low laugh from the other end of the psychic belt. After a while, Gleipnir said: "Sure enough, your answer has basically nothing to do with the knowledge of the wizarding world in the Southern Territory. difference."
Angel heard the subtle expression in Gleipnir's tone.
He thought for a moment and asked, "So, is this perception wrong?"
Graipnir said calmly: "It's not wrong, but it's not right either."
"The stars you see are indeed some kind of projection. Some of them may be the projection of the existing world, but the larger part is the shadow of billions of silent planets."
