Chapter 186: The Original Codex, the Fragmentary Codex, and Gryaznoha
- Do you want to create a pseudo-canon that belongs only to you?
Annan was indeed moved.
For so long after coming to this world, it has always been Annan who went to find books written by others to read. He did gain a lot of occult knowledge from it...... I have been inspired by this, and I have been deceived because of it.
Annan will not mention the purpose of the week.
Even the knowledge that Annan has regained at present already has a considerable degree of "weight". There are also some of them that can be fully understood by Annan and can be written down.
Of course, there are still more one-sided knowledge that disappears after only one use, and is used to make "shortcuts". This kind of one-sided knowledge can only be forcibly entered into books and turned into a canon if Annan has the soul of dyeing.
Both the original and the remnants are books with special powers. In the process of reading both the original and the remnants, there is a special impact...... It can even endanger the health of the reader. And if you read and understand it correctly, you can get the knowledge that "if you use it once, you will be ruined".
As if only the "shortcuts" were downloaded, the ontology of the mystical knowledge is still stored in the book.
This is also the principle of the spell [Page Lock].
The way to distinguish between the remnants and the original texts is mainly to look at the title of the book.
For example, "The Birth and First Circulation of Silver Coins" is the original text. And "On the Mystery of Fate and Half of the Dice" and "On the Eighth Dawn of the Sun" are remnants. Generally speaking, unless it is a person with a lack of virtue whose surname is Rindong, everyone will not give the title of the book too "complete" when writing the canon, so as not to mislead people.
It's usually a discussion of a detail, or a "I don't know a lot about it".
Whoever can make the original canon will not make the remnants.
It is usually the ritual master who fails to copy the original text that will force him to make a copy of the canon himself, just to provide himself with a "data backup". It's full of code words that only you can understand...... It's like a prescription doctor's class notes.
The difference between the original canon and the canon is that the knowledge gained from the canon is more wasted in trying to complete the knowledge.
After all, when the accounts of the two books conflict, one can only seek a deeper account to judge who is right.
The learning process of the ritual master is to read all kinds of books, summon all kinds of ancient beings through rituals, exchange some sacrifices, and ask some secrets. In this way, the imperfect, one-sided, extreme, and false knowledge is gradually made up.
When a piece of knowledge is completely completed, it means that a "text" of this mysterious knowledge can be made.
The remnants are the kind of strategy books that "obviously the creator himself doesn't know much, but he still writes it out".
There are naturally many problems and omissions...... If you really don't have a strategy, it's better to just look at it than not to look at it. But if you really want to master this knowledge, the knowledge gained from the canon is rubbish.
Because I don't know what's wrong and what's right. It's more of a waste of time than not knowing it all.
In order to make a fragment, a transcendent person with a dyed soul must use his soul to directly "imprint" knowledge on the book. Although it can only be created at the golden level, it is much cheaper than the original text, because you don't need a golden level to copy the book, and you don't need to get real knowledge.
As long as you read it once, you can copy the book against it.
If you want to copy the original text, you must ensure that you understand the content of the original text 100%. Thought and author reach the same level.
Otherwise, the mind will be hurt by the power of knowledge.
Becoming extremely tired or having a nervous breakdown is still the lightest, and if you continue to try to copy the original text, you will even go completely insane - and what you copy after going crazy is naturally the wrong thing.
At first, neither Annan nor the players were very comfortable with this strange logic - why can't knowledge be copied?
Later, Annan gradually understood.
Because in this world, the "secret" itself is protected. There's no need to go through any intellectual property lawsuits, and there's no need to worry about others misappropriating your technology – as long as its creator thinks it should be kept a secret, then it's protected by the mysterious lady and can't be copied at will.
So the Soul Reavers can see the memories in other people's minds, but they can't "show" them to others. Nor can they prove what they saw.
Because the verdict of this secret is the "real secret".
It was the sum of what he saw and heard.
And what is narrated in his language is no longer a secret. Because the ability of language to describe and summarize is imperfect - this is the common sense of the ceremonial master.
So when they use different types of rituals, different types of mystical knowledge, they use different languages.
For example, when telling the secrets of elves, it must be in elven language - otherwise many things will not be translated at all. Whether it is transliteration or paraphrasing, there will be misunderstandings.
Just as when a poem is translated across languages and cultures, it loses its rhythm; When translating, the memes that the translator does not understand will naturally not be translated in a standard way, but only the superficial meaning - for example, this is also the case with idioms and colloquialisms.
So there will also be some "personal understanding" of the canon. Just like the telecommunication game will completely change to another meaning at the end...... "Remnants of the Remnant of the Classics" can indeed exist, but the accuracy rate is low.
In this world, occult knowledge is judged with great precision.
If the information in the translation is too badly missing, then it will be completely powerless. This is also the core theory of creation of many apocryphal canons.
…… Although Annan actually doesn't quite understand why someone would make a false codex.
But Annan thought about it again...... Even if it is gossip between people, it will be passed around. And the secrets of gods or ancient kings are also mysterious knowledge above the "star gossip level", and it seems that there is nothing strange about telling them as stories......
Of course, celebrities who have been written gossip will not come to hammer people, but gods who have been written wrong knowledge will really come to hammer people......
The two brothers in the underground world were probably hammered to death because of this.
"Then I should be able to make at least one copy of the original ......"
Annan muttered.
As for the secret of the "cup", Annan has completely mastered it. However, in order to make it an original canon, it is necessary to use the "dead word". That is, a language that no one uses anymore.
This required Annan to perform a ritual with the mysterious lady and learn a dead language. Then you can record the secret about the cup.
The rest of the ...... Because Annan does not yet have a golden level, the remnants cannot be made for the time being. It can only be made into a pseudo-canon.
There are generally three types of apocryphal codex. Either the mystical knowledge is hidden in fables, fairy tales, scripts, etc.; Either hide it in the know-how; Either that's complete.
In "Red Roses and White Roses", it is recorded that the rotten man poisoned the queen mother and seized power for the king. It's just that it doesn't mention the rotper's real name, but uses another word to refer to him.
In the aesthetic book "The Beauty of Condensation" in sculpture, he uses the method of judging many god statues to secretly stuff a few sentences of evaluation and secrets about the gods themselves - it seems to be talking about statues, but in fact it is talking about gods.
The third classic example is Gryaznuha Rindon's "magnum opus", "Belief in These Gods is Dangerous".
Speaking of which.
It's been so long since Annan returned to the dead winter that he hasn't asked this person like Ivan.
It stands to reason that he can be deprived of his name and expelled by the Winter family...... What level of sinner does that have to be?
…… Thinking of this, Annan suddenly remembered something.
"Winter Bloodline......
He muttered.
If anything, Gryanznuha Rindon did not die alone.
- and gave birth to a child with the curse of "Heart of Winter"?
Does that mean......
The Northland Alliance assassinated Annan not so that Dmitry would inherit the throne as Grand Duke. Rather, let this unknown guy with the weak claim of the Duchy of Winter inherit it?
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yes.
It's not out of the question.
But anyway...... After Annan had written the apocryphal codex, he had to go to the north.
Before that, let's send Lin Yiyi and them a main quest to find transaction records...... Anyway, the Bloody Hand brothers also burped. They certainly won't destroy all the evidence before they go out, and they might be able to find the complete transaction records with the Northland Alliance.
