Chapter 979 Familiar Symbols

Yago looked at the symbols on the ground of the square again.

A group of three symbols, including the last three independent, is a total of seven groups.

His gaze froze on several of the symbols.

The first one is located below the symbols.

In the positions corresponding to the 4-7, 7-6, and 7-10 paths, that is, the group of "Wheel of Fortune", "Reaper", and "Moon".

"Watchmen".

Yago saw a symbol clearly.

Two characters similar to "几" are like symbols of the overlapping lines of human silhouettes.

This symbol is the symbol that was revealed on the ground after the statue wearing the gatekeeper's mask was shattered on the ruined temple.

there is

Yago's eyes moved to the symbol corresponding to the location of the "Wheel of Fortune" path.

this symbol

It was a pale pattern with the outline of a bird.

Its lines have obvious segments, and there are closed lines around them, which has a strong sense of picture frame and sculpture.

Seeing this pattern, Yago's first thought was a clock.

A thing that is quite famous among the masses, not only among craftsmen and watch lovers.

Cuckoo Clock.

The pattern looks like a cuckoo coming out of the window on the clock to tell the time.

But to be precise, Yago still feels that the overall structure of these lines is more like "a painting" rather than referring to the content of the painting.

"established".

Perhaps, there are preconceived ideas arising from this word, but Yago is indeed more inclined to this.

Especially the existence of "The Card of the Fate Master".

Does the wheel of fortune correspond to the "Fate Master"?

And the pattern corresponding to the "moon" made Yago a little puzzled.

It is a horizontal line.

No, to be precise, it is a straight line and some shapeless, hazy traces of smears distributed around it.

Nothing can correspond to the characteristics of the moon or celestial bodies.

but the straight line

Perhaps it was because he had preconceived the relationship between the "twilight" path and it. He felt that this horizontal line seemed to refer to the horizon, and those smear-like traces were images of rays of light.

However, speaking of the symbol emblem of the Church of Twilight, it seems to be similar.

The symbolic emblem of the Twilight Church is a semicircular and crescent-shaped emblem representing the moon on the upper left and lower right, respectively, and there is no straight line division.

In this group of symbols, the symbol corresponding to the position of "Reaper" is the symbol of "Gatekeeper". It is the first time Yago has seen the other two.

The symbol that Yago knew, and the upper left corner, a symbol in the group of patterns 1-3, 1-2 and 1-6.

To be precise, it is the pattern of "magician" or "sage" corresponding to "1-3".

Whether it should be called Werther or Thoth Tarot, Yago has no thoughts and no clues to investigate.

He only knew that this symbol was something he had seen before.

It's the "infinity symbol," an Arabic numeral "8" turned sideways.

Magician, does it correspond to the "dream" pathway?

Although he already had a deduction, but at the moment of confirmation, his mood still fluctuated.

However, not because of itself, but

He looked at the other two symbols in the group.

1-2, which is the "fool" pattern, is a spiral pattern.

Moreover, its lines are quite unstable——

skewed like a wavy line, or

flame?

Lines distorted by a heat wave?

This thought immediately reminded him of that lady, "Atile".

When this idea emerged, he looked at the pattern, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like an eye.

In a moment of intense discomfort, his gaze turned to another symbol

1-6, that correspond to the symbols of the path position of the “priestess” in the Kabbalah tree diagram.

It was a figure made up of complex lines entangled and coiled.

The lines themselves vary in thickness, some are thick and some are thin, and they seem to have an inexplicable sense of flesh and blood.

The lines are entangled and coiled, spreading upwards, forming a tree-like outline.

However, when Yago looked at the pattern carefully, he felt that the tree-like pattern was not like a tree, but rather like a flower of some kind of "flower".

And, this feeling of staggering occurred more than once.

Yago also felt that he saw images such as "fruit", "seed" and "seedling" in the pattern composed of complex lines.

It is a species, a tree, a flower, and a fruit.

Yago can be sure that this is not a pattern that can only be seen by his unique sense as a "time life".

Rather, the composition of these lines itself contains multiple compositions, just like the .

Yago suddenly remembered what he had experienced in that color block room before.

Different perspectives can capture different compositions.

Different senses have different feelings.

The moment this idea came up, Yago immediately matched it with a path——

"Rose Way"?

Whether it's the image of the plant or the feeling of "synaesthesia", he pointed his target at the rose pathway.

However, this pattern is the same as the emblem of the Twilight Church, and it is also different from the emblem of the Church of the Rose.

However, these are not the most important.

the most important is

"Silver Blood".

Or rather, Fast.

Or in other words, the star path.

Yago's gaze was fixed on the combination formed by 8-9, 7-9, and 10-9, which corresponded to the symbols of the combination of the sun, stars, and world.

The pattern on the position of the "sun" path is a pitch-black mass.

This is not normal.

As I said before, the subjects related to mythology and folklore are interdisciplinary subjects.

History, economics, politics, society, psychology, etc.

One of the categories of research is "semiotics", which is as intertwined as linguistics.

Yago has no particular views on whether linguistics should be subordinate to semiotics or whether it should stand side by side or be integrated or directly drawn out, and Yago does not intend to participate in it.

Semiotics, or linguistics, is of great importance to mythology and folklore.

Symbol is an abstract concept. Various sounds and visual information can be counted as part of symbols in a broad sense.

The beast claims its territory by urinating, and its "piss", this "mark", is a symbol.

Animals store food and leave some objects or do some damage in the corresponding position. This kind of mark is a symbol.

In humans, especially early humans, the "records" of the outside world or themselves, or the marks of "expression" to other individuals are all symbols.

Including various totems.

Simplified class notation is the most typical one.

The sun is often depicted with a simplified outline like a circle.

People's understanding of the "sun" is more or less reflected in these symbols.

After these symbols have changed over time, they may become commonly used communication symbols - words, and may be replaced by other simpler but indirect symbols and be forgotten.

How are "a dark circle" and "the sun" connected?

"Eclipse"?

Such words popped up in Yago's mind.
