Chapter 83 Inscription? Hades magic!
The two of them continued to browse on the second floor of the maze for a while. It was not until Huwan's brother's experience points were full that they found a corner of the maze that was not easily discovered and lay down to log off.
Most monsters are not interested in fanged skeletons, which is also one of the advantages of skeleton soldiers and undead rats.
Unlike zombie units, although they are also undead creatures, there is still a risk of being eaten by scavengers when offline in the wild.
As for the skeleton soldiers, it is enough to be careful of slimes and some plant monsters that can digest bones.
The next online time is agreed upon in one hour.
One of the cool things about this game is that after wearing VR glasses, the body is basically in a deep sleep state, just like a vegetative state, and does not accumulate fatigue.
It's a pity that his body is too weak in reality. Not only does he need to eat, drink, poop and bathe, but he also has to get up and move occasionally. Otherwise, he would really be able to stay online for 24 hours a day.
Taking off the VR glasses and throwing them on the computer table, Ye Zhiqiu got up and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of wontons.
Autumn has entered in the game, and it is the same in reality. The north wind blows outside the window, and just looking at it makes one's bones chill.
It is the most comfortable to eat something hot at this time.
Looking at the flames burning on the stove and the bubbles coming out of the pot, he couldn't help but recall what the Demon King said before.
"...Magic originates from the imagination of objective things."
"The so-called magic is a technology that embodies the human spirit."
Looking at his right hand, he unconsciously began to imagine the shape of flames in his mind... just like in a maze.
"Fireball Technique..."
Although he knew it was stupid to read it, he couldn't help but whisper it. After all, there was no one else around.
The final result was as he expected. Nothing happened in reality, but his spirit was slightly exhausted for a while.
Of course.
Maybe even fatigue is an illusion.
Just as he was carefully recalling the feeling of being in the maze, the piercing siren suddenly woke him up from his trance.
「Woo——!」
That is obviously not the sound effect of the fireball——
Rather, the foam rolling out of the pot extinguished the fire on the stove, and the white smoke rising into the sky triggered the kitchen smoke alarm!
Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly turned off the gas, and then opened the window for ventilation. It was not until the piercing alarm bell stopped that he calmed down his racing heart.
Looking at the wontons that had been cooked into batter, he couldn't help but smile wryly, scratch the back of his head, and muttered to himself.
"I must be crazy."
He actually wants to use magic in reality...
He laughed to himself just thinking about it.
Don't say that the operating system and the underlying code are not the same, the most basic "ABCD" are not the same thing, right?
…
"Lord Demon King! Ork, Ork has made a major discovery!"
In the necropolis, Ork's magic workshop, Ork stood under the wooden sign at the entrance of the cave and was shouting excitedly.
Perhaps he had eaten too much, but he was particularly energetic. After dinner, he actually started working in the laboratory again, and he could stay up longer than his boss.
Luo Yan was already sitting on the bed meditating, but when he heard that this guy kept chanting his name, he was afraid that he had urgent news to report, so he put on his clothes and hurried over.
"What major discovery?"
"Those fragments are indeed the mechanical spells of the God of Machinery - Ouch!"
Before Ork could finish his words, a magic wand hit his forehead. He covered his bare head with his thin hands and looked at the Demon King with tears in his eyes.
Sure enough.
Humans are animals that look at faces.
Feeling the hardness in his heart, Luo Yan was even more convinced of this. If it were a succubus, maybe his hardness would be somewhere else.
"Oak, is this what you call urgent news?"
"No - of course it's more than just these!"
Looking at the evil-looking Demon King, Ork was trembling with fear and said quickly.
"Ok copied the inscriptions on the wreckage and compared them with the inscriptions that Ork had studied in the school before. He found that many of them are the same! I remember the complete runes and can translate them into the common language!"
The so-called lingua franca is Ottoman.
At least in the territory of humans on the surface.
Luo Yan had an expression of interest on his face and put away his wand.
"Oh? You mean, you have completed the runes on the fragments?"
"That's right!" Oke nodded his head tremblingly and stepped aside, "Dear Demon King, please follow me!"
Luo Yan was naturally not polite, and followed Oke directly to the latter's magic workshop.
The large and small parts and fragments were spread out on the ground by Ock, and the so-called inscriptions were copied and completed by him on the papyrus paper beside them.
Seeing the crooked symbol, Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and an inexplicable familiar feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
Although he didn't recognize most of them, a few words looked particularly familiar...
At the same time, Oak hurriedly picked up the papyrus on the ground, piled it into a pile and handed it to the Lord Demon King with both hands, and explained diligently.
"The runes on this page are applied to the joint parts of the golem! They represent rotation, orientation and calibration respectively... Mainly related to movement!"
"Then there is this page, which is mainly written on the inside of the golem's breastplate! It mainly means enhanced defense, and——"
Luo Yan: "And make the armor lighter?"
"That's right...huh?!" Oak's face showed a shocked expression, and he looked at the Demon King in shock, "Sir, sir, have you learned rune magic?"
Luo Yan shook his head with a subtle expression.
"No, but I know this word."
As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger and pointed on the papyrus, pointing to the crooked word "light" at the end of a line of inscriptions.
"This means "qing"?"
Ok was shocked and said in surprise.
"Incredible! You can actually read it!"
Luo Yan smiled and moved his index finger downward again, pointing to the word "Explosion" at the end of the next line.
"This is "bao"?"
"Jian, that's so right! You are a genius!!!"
Oke clenched his fists in excitement, and his expression of admiration made it hard to tell whether it was flattery or genuine.
But to the goblins, there is no difference at all.
"Okay, you know that's not what I want to hear," put away the smile on his face, Luo Yan looked at Oke and continued, "So do you have anything else to report to me?"
Oke nodded excitedly and fearfully, and continued tremblingly.
"Of course, my lord... If it's just such a small matter, Ork would naturally not dare to disturb your rest, but, but that's not the only thing that's amazing!"
As he spoke, he quickly turned the papyrus in Luo Yan's hand to the next page, and saw lines of inscriptions listed in categories, with the same words written at the end of each sentence.
There are 10 permutations and combinations containing "moving", 7 permutations and combinations containing "light", and 5 kinds of "explosion"...
This is of course not all.
However, even these existing inscriptions are enough to explain a lot.
Luo Yan's face showed interest.
To use a vivid but inappropriate metaphor, this feels like an "instruction set" in a programming language?
He turned over the papyrus in his hand, and as expected, on the next few pages he saw the word "judgment" that seemed to be a judgmental statement, and the word "Xun" that seemed to be a circular statement!
Oke had a drunken expression on his face and said as if he was dreaming.
"Have you... noticed? These chaotic inscriptions actually have patterns! This is simply incredible!"
This is indeed incredible.
There are no rules to follow in inscription magic. It can be said that it is the direct reason why the entire inscription magic cannot form a system and even the decline of ancient languages.
Luo Yan remembered that he had learned it in the History of Magic class before. It was said that in the barbaric period before the First Era, there were two main types of extraordinary powers active on this land.
One of them is elemental magic, which originated from the nature worship of primitive tribes.
The other one is inscription magic. The root of the belief comes from the hieroglyphics of the "most ancient civilization" - the "ancient language" composed of a total of 172 hieroglyphic characters.
Today's complex and diverse extraordinary power systems with numerous factions ultimately evolved from these two systems.
For example, dragon language magic is the most typical example.
In dragon language magic, we can see the shadow of early elemental magic, and we can also see the inheritance derived from inscription magic -
That is, the power of rules contained in language!
However, the ancient language linked to inscription magic is obviously more violent than dragon language.
It is said that in the distant primitive tribal period, the most ancient civilizations active on this land could not lie.
Because as long as it is spoken in ancient language, it has the meaning of the contract given by extraordinary power. Anyone who violates the contract will be punished by extraordinary power... For example, if a person who swears by lightning breaks his oath, he may be struck to death by lightning.
In order to avoid being struck to death by lightning, and to avoid being exploited by others for their unintentional remarks, more and more creatures are beginning to use homophones, and only use the correct pronunciation when necessary.
After all, whether or not one has violated an oath is highly subjective.
The smart chiefs and priests took advantage of people's conservatism and fear of the unknown to quickly take this power as their own, actively completing the concentration of extraordinary power, and thus became the earliest privileged class, leading their tribesmen to start annexing other primitive tribes.
For a long period of time, inscription magic had an overwhelming advantage over elemental magic, and could even be said to dominate the direction of the battlefield.
After all, the early tribesmen had not yet mastered the method of condensing their faith in a true sense. Their numerous calls could not bring them a downpour, but at most they could bring them a few raindrops.
However, as time passed and the evolution of civilization continued, the situation quickly changed.
One of the most important inventions in the history of civilization - the concept of religion was born.
I don’t know which day started, the worship of nature by humans, elves, dwarves, orcs and other creatures gradually turned into the worship of gods, and in the process gradually condensed into the godhead, evolved into a clear line of gods, and created the era of mythology!
Comparing to the increasingly conservative and even lame ancient language, this huge force not only transcends the barriers of species, but also transcends tribes and even the concept of nation that was born later.
Just like a tank that appeared in the primitive era, it swept across the entire land with a devastating force, condensing thousands of raindrops into a downpour!
On the other hand, although inscription magic was very popular in the tribal era, it was only in the hands of a few people from beginning to end. No matter how much extraordinary power was gathered, it could not change the status quo that it was becoming a minority. Therefore, it eventually lost to the era itself and was submerged in the dust of history.
What is regrettable is that although inscription magic is essentially the power of rules, until its heyday, it did not evolve the power to restrain itself like elemental magic. It eventually became the largest mountain of shit in the underlying code of the world.
To this day, only the elves and dwarves still chatter about the origins of ancient languages and inscription magic.
No matter whether they are elves or dwarves who are obsessed with the past, the knowledge they have about inscription magic is only the tip of the iceberg of its glorious period, and only a few words in the dictionary library.
Whether it is elves or dwarves, even if their knowledge base is combined, they cannot come up with a complete 172 ancient language hieroglyphs.
Not to mention the phrases composed of these hieroglyphics, as well as the grammar that connects the phrases. Even the dwarves who are best at inscription craftsmanship have never built a golem that is completely driven by inscriptions. At most, they only add some entries strengthened by inscriptions to equipment or elemental golems, and drive the entries to work when "spiritual power" is poured into them.
Looking at the entries listed on the scratch paper by Okro, Luo Yan immediately understood the work done by Lint Isaac in the field of inscription magic.
This guy actually used the programming thinking on earth to re-edit some of the existing inscriptions!
To be more specific, it is to select the usable terms from the mountain of code, classify them into categories, and annotate them with their "original" hieroglyphics (Chinese)!
This is like borrowing words from foreign cultures, combining them with original phrases, and using new "grammar" to form new sentence patterns!
This so-called grammar is actually the "programming language" redefined by the God of Machinery, Lint Isaac.
He gave the mountain of old code a new lease of life while retaining the original code to the greatest extent possible!
Compared to reinventing a language with extraordinary power to create a new extraordinary system, improving the original extraordinary system can undoubtedly save a lot of costs!
Whether it is the cost of time or the cost of faith!
This is probably the real reason why that guy was able to form a mudslide in a short period of time and almost sweep the entire world.
If that guy succeeds, the Adeptus Mechanicus will be the new Saint Sith, the new master who rules the empire and even the entire planet!
It's a pity that this guy didn't catch up with the good times and couldn't live on. Not long after he started his business, he was crippled by the empire which was at its "historical peak".
"This guy is awesome... Did he graduate from Lan X?"
Luo Yan initially thought that this guy just created an abstract version of the Industrial Revolution, but he didn't expect that this guy actually did much more work than he imagined?
Looking at the papyrus in his hand, Luo Yan became more and more excited, and even the little sleepiness that had accumulated in his heart disappeared.
What should I call this thing?
Inscription of Isaac?
Lin's inscription?
How about just calling it "Ming Wen"!
In any case, the Isaac cultists who make such a bunch of crappy self-destruction robots themselves probably don’t understand this “Lin language” and can only copy the work from scratch, just like the new era chiefs who abandoned the ancient language in ancient times... Otherwise, they can obviously use these inscriptions to make more flexible and versatile robots!
Luo Yan has reason to believe that Lint Isaac had given up on this bunch of trash long ago, otherwise this natural disaster system would not have fallen into his hands.
Humistically speaking, the legitimacy of the God of Machinery clearly lies with me!
There is nothing wrong with calling it "Ming Wen"!
The worst thing I can do is steal some more from the Demon God in the future and inject something new into it!
Although these languages are difficult for people from other worlds with poor logical thinking to understand, it is not difficult for Luo Yan.
There is no need to learn programming.
Anyone who has modified the game save can figure it out!
Luo Yan believes that there are a lot of "experts" among his players, not to mention himself!
"My former master spent a lot of time trying to understand the mysteries of mechanical spells, but unfortunately all he found were incomplete fragments! Now this monument is in front of Ork... Holy! Bah! Demon God! I didn't expect this treasure to be hidden in the labyrinth!"
Ok had an expression of obsession on his face, and he was obviously still immersed in this great archaeological discovery.
Luo Yan chuckled and said softly.
"There are no such things in the maze. There is no doubt that it was caused by the pagans who sneaked into the maze. The lack of order allowed them to see opportunities... But these guys obviously didn't realize that there are people here who really know how to do it. Their self-defeating efforts actually helped us."
As he spoke, he picked up a metal plate from the parts.
That is the head assembly of the "robot".
In order to match the characteristics of "Hyphen", this component obviously uses different materials... and the material seems to be one of the factors that allows "Hyphen" to exert its greatest effect.
Comparing the entries summarized by Oak, he quickly restored the content written on the metal plate.
Although he could not read the entire Hades text, he still knew the words "heat" and "judgment".
As for the word "move" written on the leg joint components, it is not difficult... Simply put, "conditional judgment movement instruction set"?
"The heat value is determined, right? The action component is activated when the distance is between 100 and 5 parameters. The explosion component is triggered when the distance is less than the parameter 5. At the same time, all the magic power of the energy module is injected and the explosion command set is activated... So it turns out that it took a long time to do it" "Heat Source Search"! No wonder Dust Shadow and Blinding are useless against them, these little robots don't have eyes at all!"
There are so many ways to lower the body temperature to the ambient temperature. He can think of at least three spells and even more magic props.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile.
I didn’t expect that the third floor of the maze would be taken down by me just like that!
Not only that -
He also opened up a new growth path for his little players, as well as a gameplay full of necropolis characteristics!
They must be very happy to be coders in a magical world!
