The main reason why there is this feeling that "the words are growing out of the paper" is that... Angel did not close the Eye of Narda.
The Eye of Narda can observe information about materials.
For known material information, the displayed content will be relatively detailed; while for unknown material information, it is divided into "relatively unknown" and "absolutely unknown".
"Relatively unknown" material information will not be marked with the name of the material, but will only show a part of the introduction related to the material's properties, and, through the calculations of the "server", its source and properties will be speculated.
"Absolutely unknown" material information will directly display "???".
Through the observation of Narda's Eye, the material information floating on the leather paper is all "???", and they are all related to the leather paper, and none of them are related to the "ink seal" material.
It's as if the ink seal doesn't exist.
This made Angel feel very surprised.
However, Angel also understood that no matter how surprised he was, there was no way to get the answer at this time, so he could only suppress his doubts for the time being.
Putting aside his doubts about the material, Angel looked at the specific content of the "Prologue".
The content of the prologue is not much, only four sentences.
But every sentence seems to be encrypted. Angel can understand every word above, but he doesn’t know what it wants to express——
"The Son of the Stars is not a person, but the messenger of the star spirits. I bring billions of star spirits with me to provide continuous help to those who use the power of the stars."
"Reader, I guess you are also the owner of the power of the stars."
"I hope you can find your own star spirit."
"The stars will always be watching you."
Angel was still confused after reading it.
After a while, he came back to his senses and tried to use his own thinking to understand these four sentences.
The first sentence seems to be introducing himself? After all, the author of "The Book of Starry Sky" is called the Son of the Stars.
However, why do we say that the "Son of the Stars" is not a person, but a messenger of the stars?
Is this a general term? Or is it similar to a religious fanatic who has reached the extreme level of belief and has abandoned his own personality?
The second sentence seems to hint at the identity of the reader, but what is the "power of the stars"? Is it similar to the power of astrology?
The third sentence...
"I hope I can find my own star spirit." Angel muttered in a low voice, hmm, I don't understand.
Is star spirit a pronoun? Or is it some kind of spirit?
The last sentence, which is the fourth sentence, is, "The stars will always watch you." Angel can understand the literal meaning of this sentence, but he always feels that it has a deeper meaning.
Because generally speaking, it is "people" who look at the "starry sky"; but here the "starry sky" is personified, and the "starry sky" looks at "people".
This is obviously an allusion.
However, just like the other three sentences, Angel has no idea what it actually refers to.
"This is indeed an encrypted document, specifically for astrologers to read, right?" Angel complained silently in his mind while flipping through the pages.
I would like to see if there is any relevant introduction in the following article.
The next page immediately following the prologue goes directly to the main text without even a table of contents.
The content of the text is also very concise, with pictures and captions on every page.
The accompanying pictures are basically "starry sky pictures", similar to the "constellation pictures" Angel saw on the holographic tablet. On the dark background board, several strangely arranged stars light up, and these stars are connected into a line.
, forming a wonderful pattern.
As for the picture on the first page, several stars are connected together like an "undulating curve".
Below the pattern is - matching words.
Angel briefly read the caption on the first page, which read "Rain Astrology", followed by a number "3489". It seemed to refer to the 3489th type of rain astrology?
The following explains in detail what this astrology means from various angles.
For example, from the perspective of prayer, rain astrology 3489 represents tepid abundance. In Angel's understanding, there is nothing good and nothing bad?
For another example, from an astrological point of view, the rain horoscope 3489 represents the chanting of the stars and spirits, which brings misfortune and sorrow, joy and gain. - According to Angel's understanding, it just...can't be understood.
And from the perspective of the protoss, rain astrology 3489 represents excess 1/3, 1.7 times overload, timing 7.339 seconds...
In addition to prayer, astrology, and the perspective of star spirits, there are also torture perspectives, battle perspectives, life star perspectives, and the perspective of all things... An astrology is explained in more than ten pages, and each page is densely written and covered from different angles.
Different answers.
But these answers are all vague.
In short, Angel knew most of the words, but not every word could be interpreted by Angel.
Angel looked through the following text again, and found that it was basically the same. The front was a star-matching diagram, and the back was an explanation of the relevant angles.
Various formulas and coincidences, various calculations, various ambiguous answers.
Of course, there are some differences, including hundreds of pages of encrypted text written with strange "star" symbols. Angel could not decipher these symbols even if he used "language analysis". It is estimated that they belong to the owner of the power of the starry sky.
Unique password.
It made Angel dizzy.
Finally, before his eyes were occupied by a large number of numbers, Angel closed the "Starry Sky Book". He couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand it, and he couldn't even judge the value of the "Starry Sky Book".
Angel has heard a saying, "Books also pick people." There is a high probability that this book is not picking on you.
One hand rubbed his swollen temples, and the other hand held the large "Book of Starry Sky" in the palm of his hand and handed it to Laplace next to him.
"You should keep this book and give it to Gleipnir later."
"I... just feel panicked when I read this book."
As a researcher and a scholar, I felt inexplicably panicked because I couldn't read the book.
Laplace had long noticed the bitterness in Angel's expression, chuckled, and took the "Book of Starry Sky": "This book, for those who don't understand, is a heavenly book."
"Even I have a hard time understanding this book."
Laplace's words made Angel say "Huh" and turned his head to look over: "You don't understand either?"
Laplace nodded: "Even though Graipnir and I share memories, you have to know that memory does not represent ability."
Memory does not mean ability... Angel's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he suddenly thought of his previous experience in Circus Sunshine.
"It's like, Luigi got full points in Cirque du Soleil, but you only got 13 points."
Laplace: "..." The memory that had been deliberately forgotten was brought up again, and Laplace felt that he should not have answered the conversation just now.
Although the dead memory attacked him again, Laplace still held back the ups and downs in his heart and said calmly: "You can say that."
Luigi has unparalleled acting talent. And Lapras can share all of Luigi's memories and understand Luigi's playing skills, but her performance will never reach Luigi's height.
This is the so-called "memory does not represent ability".
In the same way, Laplace possesses all of Gleipnir's memories and understands her operations in astrology, but he can ask her to do astrology...but there is nothing he can do.
Because, there is memory and knowledge, but no talent.
And if you want to read "Book of Starry Sky", only those with talent can read it. Laplace is not a gifted person. If she insists on reading "Book of Starry Sky", her situation is actually not much different from Angel...
She might be better than Angel. After all, Laplace also knows a lot about astrology, but she doesn't have the power of the starry sky, so she can understand at most 0.50% of the "Starry Sky Book".
On the other side, with Laplace's "comfort", Angel's originally panicked heart finally calmed down a bit.
After all, even Laplace can't understand it, so it's normal that he can't understand it himself.
After a period of inner indulgence, Angel restrained himself a little and talked about the topic: "What kind of book is "The Starry Sky Book"?"
Laplace: "What do you want to know?"
Angel knew that it would be difficult to get an answer when asking about the text. Reading the text required talent, especially since there was a cipher text in it.
Therefore, Angel reached out and turned the "Starry Sky Book" to the "Prologue".
"Just explain these few sentences." Angel: "The rest...are unnecessary."
Laplace read the four sentences in the prologue. As someone with the memory of Gleipnir, she could probably understand what they meant.
But it also involves some "star-only" theories, such as the last two sentences. She can explain them but not necessarily clearly.
Therefore, she thought for a while and said: "If you have anything to say, just ask it directly in the psychic belt. I will help you convey it to Gleipnir and let her answer you."
"It just so happens that she's fine over there..."
Angel nodded. He probably knew the situation at the Cloud Cave venue... because from time to time, he could sense that strangers were logging into the Crystal Plain of Dreams.
These newcomers should undoubtedly be the guests at the Yundong venue.
The guests at the venue were trying to go to the Dream Crystal Plains to "open their eyes", but Gleipnir was not online, and he probably didn't want to go online to bring in new people.
Since she's not online, I guess she's free there.
Angel asked in the psychic belt: "The first sentence of the prologue says that the Son of the Star is not a person, but the messenger of the star spirit. What does this mean?"
After a while, Gleipnir's voice came from the psychic belt. Of course, this was simulated by Laplace.
Gleipnir: "Before answering your question, I would like to know, do you know anything about the 'Star Spirit'?"
Angel shook his head directly: "I don't know much about it. Is it some kind of spirit?"
Gleipnir chuckled and said: "Spirituals? There are indeed such spirits as star spirits, but the 'star spirits' mentioned in the prologue of "Starry Sky Book" are not spiritual beings."
"But...the star spirit world."
Angel stared, all he thought in his mind was: "???"
Star spirit world, what does the world mean?
"It seems that your understanding of the starry sky is very poor." Greipnir did not explain what the star spirit world is, but changed his voice and asked: "What do you think the starry sky is like?"
Angel: "I don't understand what you mean."
Gleipnir: "Whenever night falls and the thin clouds disperse, if you look up at this time, you should be able to see the boundless stars. In your opinion, what do these stars mean?"
Angel did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought for a while.
Because of Gleipnir's words, he felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu and remembered something from a long time ago.
When he was very young, when his understanding of the world was only a third of an acre in Gru Town, Jon, as an enlightenment teacher, used various methods to help Angel understand the world.
Angel was also very happy with Jon's teaching.
At that time, Angel was full of curiosity about the world and felt that Jon knew everything. He knew why flowers were fragrant, why dandelions were blown by the wind, and why the stones in each section of the river had different shapes. He also knew
Why do waterfalls form...
When he asked his father, Pat Sr., about these questions, Pat Sr. didn't know anything about them.
Therefore, Angel admired Jon very much at that time.
If he had any questions, he would ask Jon.
One night, he leaned on the railing of the stilted building, looked up at the night sky, looked at the stars in the sky, and curiously asked: "Why are there so many stars in the sky?"
He thought Jon would give him a scientific answer as usual.
But Jon was silent at this time, and after a long time he said: "If it were in my universe, I would tell you that most of the stars in the sky are stars. The flickering light spots in the sky are probably infinitely far away
A spark of fire that burned countless years ago came from this place."
"But in this world, I don't know how to answer you."
Angel didn't understand what Jon meant at that time, and he didn't know what Jon meant until he grew up.
The universe where the earth is located and the universe where the wizarding world is located have different basic laws. It is difficult to judge whether the stars in the sky are distant stars.
That's why Angel had such a strong sense of déjà vu when Greipnir asked this question.
This moment is like that time.
Angel pondered for a long time before speaking: "I once heard someone mention that the stars in the sky are the projection of the world."
Yes, the stars that the wizarding world considers are not stars, but a world, or a projection of a plane. They hang high in the night, telling all living beings in their own way: This universe is very big, and you are not the only civilization.
.
Hearing Angel's answer, there was a low laugh from the other end of the psychic belt. After a while, Gleipnir said: "Sure enough, your answer has basically nothing to do with the knowledge of the wizarding world in the Southern Territory.
difference."
Angel heard the subtle expression in Gleipnir's tone.
He thought for a while and asked: "So, is this perception wrong?"
Graipnir said calmly: "It's not wrong, but it's not right either."
"The stars you see are indeed some kind of projection. Some of them may be the projection of the existing world, but the larger part is the shadow of billions of silent planets."
