My name is Ren

Chapter 268
Desi people, especially those living in the imperial capital, have a saying, if you want others to know your status and identity, then tell them where you live.

This sentence is very straightforward, but it also has another meaning.If the emperor is the core of the entire Orlando Empire, then the imperial palace is the core of the imperial capital and the heart of the entire empire.The closer to the imperial capital, the closer to the imperial palace, the more status and status one would have.See who lives outside the palace?Seven golden noble families occupied the entire street, and further outside were the manors of the grand dukes, dukes, and leaders of the noble groups.Every time one layer goes out, the status and status will drop one layer until it reaches outside the Golden Ring area.

The closer to the core, the more "core".

Among the many departments, the National Army Management Department of the Orlando Empire, also known as the military department, is one of the departments closest to the imperial palace, and the other department is not as imagined by some rural farmers who have never been to the imperial capital. It is the Ministry of Finance. , the Ministry of Education, the Privy Council and other departments, but the Imperial Research Institute.Regardless of whether it is this world or another world, people have discovered early that "technology" is the biggest boost to promote social progress.

Therefore, the Imperial Research Institute has also become one of the two most important departments in the entire Orlando Empire, and has become the closest state institution to the Royal Palace.

At this time, in the Imperial Research Institute, a group of people were having a heated discussion around a "Alchemy Manual".Among these people are historians, ancient ruins researchers, text culture scholars, rulers, decryption experts, titled alchemists, a saint..., and many people from all walks of life.They quarreled with each other about their opinions, and they used almost all the knowledge they could acquire to justify their views.

"Look at this text!" The only sage pointed at a cube of text, "From the change and evolution of text, we know that the first ancient ancestors recorded some simple things through painting. For example, a circle and a few dots represent the sun, a half circle plus a dot represents the moon, and fire like flames and water like waves, all of which reflect specific meanings through painting of."

This holy man has silver hair and white hair. He looks as if he is only seven or eighty years old, but he is actually in his early hundred.A saint is the ultimate goal expected by scholars, bachelors, and university scholars. He is the most authoritative in a certain field. A word from a saint can change the status quo of a field and overthrow certain "truths", because the saint himself is It represents the supreme truth and is called the embodiment of "truth" by people.

At this time, the saliva at the corner of the silver-haired saint's mouth and the slightly embarrassed scholar's robe made him look like a saint. Facing the noisy environment, he slammed the wall and the squares on the wall. body symbol.

"Bastards, you should learn to respect the truth. Even if you don't respect the truth, you should respect my age!" He growled and slapped the wall vigorously, finally causing the noisy people to give up their quarrel temporarily and look at him in unison.The eyes of these people do not have the eyes of those scholars and scholars who almost worship and blindly obey the saint when they face the saint. Their domain is not the same as the domain of this saint, so there is no need to take him seriously.

Perhaps this is the unique "strength" of a literate person?Who knows!In short, what the saint said is not wrong. If you don’t respect his truth, then respect his age.

Realizing that his words had an effect, the saint finally let out a sigh of relief. He poked hard at the square symbol pasted on the wall, and said very seriously: "I have read all the contents of the alchemy notes, shut up, bitch... , I found that all the runes or characters or symbols almost completely abandoned the concept of 'circle', and more of 'angle' and 'line'. I boldly put forward a hypothesis, is there such a possibility, in In this kind of text, the rectangle sometimes represents the 'circle' to some extent."

His words gradually attracted everyone's attention. After all, everyone here is a well-deserved master in various fields. Compared with those young people who are impulsive and lack of concentration, they know how to use the experience and accumulation brought to them by the years. To think deeper.What the saint said is very reasonable. If the square is used as the benchmark, why can't the circle be a rectangle?This is a very interesting research direction. When people became interested, the whole room fell silent.

The saint nodded slightly, very good, these bastards finally understood how to respect truth and knowledge, he asked a question, "If the circle outside this simplest text represents a circle...", he took out a stick The pen full of paint drew a circle next to the square text, "Then I will put this line in the middle..." He drew another short line in the circle, and then looked at everyone, " Look, what does this look like?"

Many people were thoughtful, and the sage laughed. He is a sage in writing and has the supreme status in writing. He smiled and asked, "Does this look like the sun?"

The Dominator was the first to stand up and raised objections, "I think it may be a variant of some kind of rune, of course I am not questioning your judgment, I am very interested in your point of view that 'a square can be a circle' , but I don't think it's the sun. The circle in the rune represents connect, cycle, and move, while the horizontal line represents stop and cut. These two runes are connected, and I think this may be a control loop Rune."

Wearing a dark blue cloak studded with bright silver stars, the Dominator is the mage's end.In ancient times, every ruler had the status and power equal to that of a god, but with some unknown changes, the ruler was finally knocked down.They can't pull the stars, can't destroy the world, but it is undeniable that they still have authority in the knowledge and understanding of mysteries and runes.

There are only two rulers left in the empire, one has already put half of his body in the coffin, and may die at any time, and this one may last for a few more years.

His words were immediately echoed by the alchemists. After all, alchemists are professions separated from magicians, and both have the same foundation.Compared with the interpretation of words, they believed that the cubes in the "Alchemy Manual" were runes rather than words.

The saint immediately retorted: "How do you explain that this text always appears in the header of the last few pages?"

"Please note, this is a rune, not a text!", the ruler emphasized a sentence to confirm his position, "As for your statement, I think it is a manifestation of the control circuit rune, after all, people always like to control The system is placed in the most conspicuous place."

"Are you going to confuse the difference between words and runes with nonsense explanations?!" The saint blushed and growled.

The ruler sneered and said, "I think you are!"

As the two top bigwigs quarreled again, the whole room became lively again, like a bustling market, and you would never understand what the third person was saying.

A small alchemy handbook has attracted the attention of the entire empire. This unprecedented symbol with a certain pattern is full of unknown charm, and everyone is obsessed with it.They want to decipher this symbol, no matter what the purpose is.

In the eyes of many scholars, he is not very outstanding, but Niya, a "young" mystic researcher who joined this research from the beginning, has a different view.

"I seem to have seen these words somewhere." She said softly and a little timidly.After all, most of the people here have higher status and knowledge than her, so she can only be regarded as a student.Now, though, the student is getting her voice heard.

Silence, like ripples, made the whole room quiet again. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Niya, and they still maintained the expressions from the previous moment, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Niya swallowed her saliva. She mustered up her courage and said again in a not-so-loud voice: "I seem to have seen these words..." As she spoke, a surge of courage rose from her body. She was inexplicably courageous. It grew louder, and again with a firm voice, said loudly: "I have seen these words, I swear!"

The saint immediately became agitated. He walked up to Niya and took her hand, spitting stars flying around, "Are you sure, young bachelor, you must be clear that your words may mislead us in a wrong direction, but it may also lead us to the wrong direction." We found the right path."

"I confirm!", Niya nodded firmly, the saint smiled and glanced at the ruler, old thing...

"Okay, kid, tell me, where have you seen these words." The saint's voice was very loud, not at all like an old man of his age. Perhaps this thick voice and lung capacity are the source of a lifetime of debate. The only treasure left to him in his later years, "Don't worry, just recall it carefully."

"I..." Niya put her index fingers on her hairline and her thumbs on her temples, feeling a little anxious and flustered, the pressure was too great.She walked back and forth a few steps, her eyes suddenly lit up, "I remembered, when I was studying God the Father, I referred to some holy objects left over from the ancient times, and there were these words in it."

church?

The saint looked around and asked suspiciously: "Didn't we invite any cardinals? Bishops can too?!" When no one answered him, he suddenly stomped, "Bastard, what are you waiting for, hurry up! Get a cardinal, the kind who can call the shots!"

　Well, you won the horn, because "the iron armor is still there - the horn" is so popular, I owe you 19 chapters smoothly, and I made up 1 chapter by myself yesterday, which is 20 chapters.

　　By the way, do you accept the 2K Klan?
