Chapter 572 Interpreting Language
The crimson moonlight penetrates the not too thick curtains and shines on the desk that has been illuminated by the yellowish light of the gas wall, highlighting its presence that cannot be ignored.
Lumian looked through the newly purchased highland language textbooks, waited for more than half an hour, and finally saw a reply from the "Doll" messenger from the "Magician" lady.
The letter is not long, only two pages:
"Let's start with the simple part.
"Combined with the pattern, symbol, and structure of the ring, I still can't accurately interpret the meaning of that passage, but I can already determine its composition and the actual function of the different phrases.
"It is divided into three parts:
"The first part should be used to accurately point to the ring, positioning it for the subsequent stimulation of the singularity and the infuse of the energy contained in the language;
"The second part is to inject the energy carried by the word into the ring in the form of resonance, etc., and stimulate the 'magic circle' composed of patterns and symbols, you can use the sacrificial ring as a charm, and the second word is equivalent to its designated special opening spell, which does not need to leverage supernatural powers, and it contains its own unique energy to achieve the goal, but it needs to be guided in advance;
"The third part I suspect is a ciphertext, attached to the ring's ciphertext, that is, when the sacrificial ring has passed through the words of the first two parts, and the overall singularity has been fully stimulated, it will record and carry the last ciphertext into the sea and pass it on to something.
"Do you understand? The sacrificial ring is slightly equivalent to a special key, which needs to be stimulated to be used, and it must also have a corresponding password to cooperate with this key to open the target "door".
"Hehe, the actual meaning of the sentence 'O sea, I will marry you as a symbol of conquering you' is probably the same as 'so-and-so key, unlock and open the channel, the password is xxxxxxxxx', of course, if you really want to translate it, it must be very different from this, but the essence should be like this."
Seeing this, Lumian couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
When the successive "governors of the sea" read such a passage with the mentality of marrying the sea, if someone who knew the corresponding language heard it next to him, he would probably laugh until his stomach hurt.
What the sea, what marriage, what conquest, it turned out to be unlocking, opening the channel, and entering the password for a long time!
If you tell Juan this interpretation. Oro and Lato. Giaro and the others, I don't know what kind of expression they will have.
No, they will definitely not believe it, they have been wrong for a thousand or two thousand years, and what is wrong has become belief, persistence, and inheritance, and no one will want to admit that it is wrong.
Anyway, you can achieve the same effect, you don't care how I understand and translate!
Lumian calmed down his amusement, turned to the second page of the letter, and continued to read the following content:
"Next comes the more complex part:
"The two patterns you see in the basement of the 'Governor of the Sea' mansion have a long history, even dating back to the early Quaternary.
"They are both occult symbols and coats of arms of ancient nobles, one of which originates from your acquaintance, no, the familiar angel, Amon!
"The pattern that resembles a clock symbolizes the 'bug of time' and is the coat of arms of the Amon family."
"Worm of Time"? The coat of arms of the Amuns? Why is it Him again! Lumian's eyes froze, and he felt like he was still in the Amondue for some reason.
What does the ancestor of Milo Village, the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Harbor, and the specialness of that sea area have to do with the Ammons?
On the surface, there is no connection!
Lumian's thoughts were flashing, and he suddenly felt that there was a certain connection between the sea prayer ritual and the former angel king of the "thief" path, and there was also a trace to follow:
Among the core members of "April Fool's Day" who participated in the prank of the sea prayer ceremony, the "Bard" is an extraordinary person of the "thief" path, and the "madwoman" belongs to the adjacent "apprentice" path, and they also prayed for help from the existence of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", who can profoundly affect the "thief" path.
Although this cannot be directly pointed to the Ammons, since so many "thieves" related to the "thieves" have gathered here, it is completely understandable that the sea prayer ceremony itself also involves the "thief" path.
Lumian exhaled, lowered his head, and planned to see what the "magician" lady said:
"The cascading doors come from the Abraham family, yes, the Abraham family, one of the five nobles of the Tudor Empire, I once told you that in the Tudor Empire, only five families received hereditary duke titles, namely Abraham, Amun, Antigonus, Jacob and Tamara, of which the Abrahams controlled the 'apprentice' path, remember, many times, 'apprentice' can represent sealing.
"Therefore, there is reason to believe that the sea prayer ceremony is older than previously expected, dating back to before the fall of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Age, and it is normal and reasonable for you to encounter things related to the Tudor Empire, isn't it?
"Now do you understand the essence of the sea prayer ceremony, you don't need me to explain it anymore, right?
"I began to suspect that the ancestors of Milo had initially misunderstood the meaning of that passage, so they expanded the sea sacrifice and vigil from the revelation to have an extremely absurd sea marriage ceremony that lasted for one or two thousand years, and this was probably a manifestation of that bad character, who liked to play a joke on everyone without affecting the specific outcome.
"Look, look, this is a prank, the 'April Fool's Day' guys really should study hard.
"If you don't understand the corresponding question, you can write to me again.
"By the way, 'Lies' now has a temporary ability that can only last for half a month, stealing a certain amount of power from the target, but this power cannot last too long, for ordinary people, it may be half a year, a year, for you, because it conflicts with your own power, no more than a week."
Lumian withdrew his gaze from the letterhead, and his mind was in a mess:
"What does Ms. 'Magician' mean that the special origin of that sea is from the ancestors of the Abrahamic family and a certain Amun? The core part of the sea prayer ceremony was designed by these two angelic giants themselves, who guided the ancestors of the village of Milo in Puerto Santa and left a revelation for them to perform that ritual year after year?
"Due to Amon's bad character, the ancestors of Milo Village misunderstood the true meaning of that passage and thought they were going to marry the sea, so the core part of the sea prayer ceremony became more and more complicated, and more and more links were expanded, becoming a large-scale prank that lasted for thousands of years?"
After roughly clarifying the speculation of the "magician", Lumian re-examined the essence of the sea prayer ceremony:
"Appease the special hidden at the bottom of that sea, that is, the 'palace'?
"'Apprentice' means seal...... 'thief' is stealing......
"Stealing ......"
Lumian suddenly lowered his head and looked at his left chest.
He understood the essence of the sea prayer ceremony!
What to find a husband for the sea, appease its fury, sincerely please it, and obtain corresponding gifts, this is completely the absurd reason that the ancestors of Milo Village found after being misled!
The essence of the sea prayer ritual is to steal gifts!
The "palace" at the bottom of the sea was sealed by the "apprentice" path, but the ancestors of the Abrahamic family were worried that as time passed, the power of the seal would weaken, and the "palace" would gradually recover and strengthen, so they asked Amon to design a ritual to regularly extract the power of the "palace" every year, so that it could not truly break through the seal.
Therefore, after each sea prayer ceremony, the sea area will become quiet, and there will be no more winds and waves, and the failure of last year's ceremony has allowed the "palace" to gather a certain amount of strength, so the "sea" has changed, the number of sea disasters has increased, and the "death navigators" have left that special sea area more frequently.
What must be done when the stars are in a special position to enter that sea area, and what must follow a specific route to reach the destination, is because only at that time, a tortuous and complex passage will appear in the outer seal!
Lumian stood up and paced a few steps forward.
After figuring out the essence of the sea prayer ceremony, he also understood the repeated attitude of the "Earth Mother Goddess" church:
At first, the clergy of the "Earth Mother" Church who had not investigated destroyed Milo Village and ended the sea prayer ceremony, but at the bottom of the building they saw the coat of arms representing the great nobles of the Tudor Empire in the two-point array, and stopped the last step in time.
Anyway, for them, the sea prayer ceremony most of the time does not affect the innocent and disrupts the local order - each "Governor of the Sea" must have a certain sea blood, and although the "Handmaids of the Sea" will endure the end of becoming a humanoid lizard in old age, they can at least change the fate of themselves and their families, and enjoy power and wealth for thirty or forty years or even longer.
As for those "maids of the sea" who want to chase love, the "Earth Mother Goddess" church will probably acquiesce or even help them escape, otherwise, the probability of success is very low.
"So, why did the Abundance Order encourage me to investigate the sea prayer ceremony, and why did Noalia give some information and hide key information?" As soon as Lumian had such doubts, he thought of the answer.
It is not the Fisheries Guild that is really fishing, but the "Earth Mother Goddess" Church!
The failure of last year's sea prayer ceremony made the "Earth Mother" church worry that similar problems would occur this year, see Louis. After Berry posed to investigate the sea prayer ceremony, he simply encouraged him to do it, so that the potential saboteurs hiding in the dark would contact him, surface, and then wipe it all out!
Phew, Lumian exhaled and shifted his focus back to the purpose of "April Fool's Day".
Now, he was sure that "April Fool's Day" was to open the seal of that special sea area.
Last year was the first step to lift the seal, but it was far from the point where the "palace" under the sea could break through the seal, and this year they would inevitably create something similar again, otherwise when the sea prayer ceremony was successful, then their pranks last year would be in vain!
The question now is, what will the core members of "April Fool's Day" do, and how will they seize the benefits represented by that "palace" and avoid the corresponding dangers? Lumian looked at the gas wall lamp emitting yellowish light and fell into deep thought.
…………
More than a week passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the sea prayer ceremony was held.
Lumian had just finished breakfast when he heard the sound of various musical instruments coming from the street outside.
He smiled, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, got up and walked to the window where the bright sunlight shone in.
