Chapter 1589 Master's Requirement Extinct Language

Magic has never been an easy subject to learn, and it has almost strict requirements on people's aptitude.

Astronomy, geography, biology, humanities, these are the areas that mages should dabble in. But if you want to become a qualified mage, you don't know anything about it. It must be refined and drilled deeply. And this in disguise has increased the requirements for the master's education level.

Words are the carrier of culture. To improve the level of culture, the study of languages ​​and characters between different civilizations is a must. Some people may say that with so many simultaneous translations in the world, there is no need for such trouble. But really, it's just an excuse for being lazy. After all, translation is just translation, and it is absolutely impossible to fully interpret the meaning contained in the language and characters of a civilization itself. for example.

Red buildings and brothels, if this is placed in a civilization similar to Europe and the United States, what would it be translated in their language, red buildings and blue buildings? This is obviously a huge gap with the original intention. And if they don't interpret the meaning in the context of their own civilization, who can say with certainty that their translation is wrong?

As the earliest communicators of world civilization, mages realized the limitations of this translation problem very early on. Therefore, the habit they have developed since then is to start learning the spell system of another civilization from the language. Normally, the average mage only needs to be proficient in three to five languages. For example, the mages of medieval European civilization, most of them were proficient in Latin, Arabic and Greek. These are either the root languages ​​of their own civilizations, or the languages ​​of hostile civilizations. Of course, they must be proficient.

And this premise is placed on the Supreme Master and her apprentices, of course it must be raised accordingly.

The Supreme Mage did not rely solely on magic under a civilization system to get to where he is today. She studied under Chisongzi, and she has learned a lot of ancient oriental alchemy. Coupled with her own research on spells under various civilization systems over the years, she can be said to be the master of spells on the entire earth. From this point of view, the requirement of literacy she mentioned before is not a difficulty at all, but it is really just a basic requirement as she said.

Of course, this requirement is not easy to fulfill. If Baron Mordo had a better relationship with Frank, he would have patted him on the shoulder and said this to him with an expression of being overwhelmed.

"At the beginning, I spent ten years in order to complete this requirement. In order to go further, I spent twenty years."

Ten years is enough for you to study the mainstream languages ​​in the world. And twenty years is just enough for you to understand some sufficiently obscure language and characters that have even faded out of history. Such consumption seems unnecessary, but if you want to dig deep into the treasure of the Supreme Mage, then all of these are necessary.

Gu Yi could see Frank's intelligence, but she didn't think he could meet the conditions she proposed. Because this is not something that can be achieved by natural ingenuity alone, it requires accumulation, the accumulation of knowledge. And this accumulation is precisely the most difficult. In terms of capital, you can get it by luck and the help of others, and the same is true for strength. But knowledge has always been a matter of only one person. It is absolutely impossible without painstaking efforts, sweating, and ink.

Now that the idea of ​​wanting to recruit Frank into the family has been moved, it is natural that the conditions that such a disciple should have are indispensable. Although Frank is very talented, he has a talent that he knows from birth. However, from Gu Yi's point of view, he still needs to be refined. Among other things, this kind of arrogance coming out of the bones is absolutely unacceptable.

Although it is said that people cannot have arrogance, they cannot be without arrogance. But if you have a child with no hair, you should be humble and low-key honestly. The world of magic is so vast and profound,

If you want to drill deeply, you still maintain a humble heart to learn.

This is Master Gu Yi's hope for Frank, and it can also be regarded as the sense of responsibility that a teacher should have for his students. It's just that Frank couldn't understand her thoughts, he just rolled his eyes and looked at Gu Yi, and then said to her with a confident look.

"These are the only requirements you mentioned? Then we can start now. There is no language in this world that can be rare for me!"

"What gave you such confidence? Or, did you think the whole world spoke English?"

Gu Yi, who wanted to beat Frank, said such words in Chinese. To this, Frank's reply is.

"The first flying bird, how do you know the ten thousand miles of Pengcheng?"

Standard Heluo accent, authentic Chinese official accent. Even in today's China, not many people can speak this ancient accent. Of course, this surprised Gu Yi, but after the surprise, she immediately changed her language and fought back.

"Isn't it a little too unrealistic for a chick that doesn't even have a neat hair to fly 10,000 miles!"

Old Persian was moved out by Gu Yi, and soon Frank returned it in Hindi.

"A roc is a roc by nature, even if it is nested in a bird's nest, its eyes will be set in the endless sky."

"No matter how miraculous an eagle is, it is easy to die when it is still a chick. So, shouldn't you wait until the wings are full before thinking about the sky?"

"Don't think about it now, think about it later, even if you grow wings, I'm afraid it's a matter of powerlessness."

Tocharian, Ainu language. Conversations between the two men grow rarer and more endangered. It wasn't until the ancient one brought out the Yola language, a dead language that is an extinct language, that the more and more advanced conversation between the two ended.

Although Frank relies on the think tanks of the entire human race, the Internet think tanks were born after the twentieth century. Although in theory, it collects all human knowledge. But in fact, it can't do anything about things that have been completely lost records long before the Internet was born.

As an extinct language of human beings, dead languages ​​are born every day. Although many dead languages ​​have been recorded in the human network, more of them have disappeared in human history. Gu Yi has lived for hundreds of years, and has accumulated knowledge far beyond that of ordinary people. It's not surprising that she can come up with a dead language that makes Frank stare blankly.

And falling into a disadvantage in this kind of competition is something Frank never thought of. Obviously relying on the wealth of knowledge of the entire human race, but lost to a mysterious sect leader. This kind of feeling is like spending a lot of money to buy a hanger, and before he even started eating chicken, he was shot and shot by a fool 800 meters away. His mentality was about to explode.

He really wanted to get back his position, but Gu Yi didn't give him this chance at all. Seeing that she had reached her destination, she said so directly.

"Okay, I can see your level more or less. Although there is still a slight gap between you and me, it shouldn't be a problem to start the most preliminary stage of learning. Let's first put Once the problem in front of you is solved, I will take you to a place. Once you get there, your mage enlightenment course can be started."

Such words made Frank, who had been thinking hard, hit the cotton with a fist, and felt unspeakable unhappiness all over his body. However, Gu Yi didn't care about this feeling in his heart at all, but walked into the apartment in front of him as soon as he pushed the door.

Phelan's death is definitely not a trivial matter for this apartment where the residents are either rich or expensive. Many people moved out of here directly because of fear. Of course, the Stark government has also contributed a little bit here, and they don't want to cause more trouble at this juncture.

It can be said that apart from the property management side, the whole arrangement is enough to satisfy the public. It would be even better if a reasonable explanation could be made for Faerun's death. And this, of course, is Gu Yi's current job.

To be honest, Gu Yi didn't want to do this kind of thing by himself. After all, her goal is too big, and it is easy to attract the attention of some caring people. Compared to putting them in front of the stage and letting those people prepare for themselves in advance, she hopes to be able to hide behind the scenes so that they can be caught off guard at any time.

Therefore, the ideal situation should be that this kind of thing should be done by Baron Mordo. It's just a pity that he got angry for a while and ran away without a trace, so the matter could only fall into her hands.

Even though the old generals can beat both of them, the feeling of using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken still made Gu Yi inevitably feel a little resentful in his heart. But until now, she could only sigh, and raised her hand to cover her hood, blocking her conspicuous bald head. Then he took Frank's hand and got busy.

The Stark government sealed off the site. In order not to damage the environment of the site, they did not even remove the corpse. Instead, a special cooling device was used to preserve the two corpses on the ground. Let them stay in place safely.

This made Gu, who walked in, blindfold Frank's eyes subconsciously, and then told him directly.

"There are some things here that are not suitable for your age, so you need to be mentally prepared."

She is not like ordinary people who can keep children away from these things. After all, for her, Frank is also going to be a mage. As a mage, there is no one who does not touch the corpse. It is enough to vaccinate him in advance and let him be psychologically prepared.

And this, in fact, is exactly what Frank wanted. He didn't want to avoid this opportunity to get in touch with supernatural events first-hand and gain insights.

"I'm already prepared. It's just two corpses, no big deal."
