Lord of the Silver Crow

Yago once again looked at the symbols on the ground of the square.

Three symbols are a group, including the last three that are independent, for a total of seven groups.

His eyes fixed on a few of the symbols.

The first one is located below the symbols.

The positions corresponding to the paths 4-7, 7-6, and 7-10 are the group of "Wheel of Fortune", "Reaper", and "Moon".

"Watchmen".

Yago clearly saw a symbol.

Two characters similar to "ji" are like symbols with overlapping lines of human-shaped silhouettes.

This symbol is the symbol that was revealed on the ground after the statue wearing the gatekeeper's mask was shattered in the ruined temple.

There is...

Yago moved his gaze to the symbol corresponding to the path position of the "Wheel of Fortune".

This symbol.....

It was a pale pattern with the outline of a bird.

The lines have obvious segments, and there are closed lines around them, which have a strong sense of frame and sculpture.

Seeing this pattern, the first thing Yago thought of was a clock.

A thing that is well-known among the general public besides craftsmen and watch lovers.

Cuckoo clock.

The pattern seems to have a cuckoo's sense of telling the time from the window on the clock.

But... to be precise, Yago still feels that the overall structure of these lines is more like a "painting" rather than referring to the contents of the painting.

"established"......

Perhaps, there are preconceived ideas arising from this word, but Yago is indeed inclined to this.

Especially the existence of "the card of the master of play".

Does the wheel of fortune correspond to the "play dictator"?

The pattern corresponding to the "moon" made Yago a little puzzled.

It is a horizontal straight line.

No, to be precise, it is a line and some irregular and hazy smear marks scattered around.

Nothing can correspond to the characteristics of the moon or celestial bodies.

But... a straight line...

Perhaps it was his preconceived relationship between the "dusk" approach and the corresponding relationship. He felt that this horizontal line seemed to refer to the horizon, while the smear-like traces were the imagery of rays of sunlight.

However, speaking of the symbols and emblems of the evening church, it seems that there are similarities.

The symbolic emblem of the church at dusk is the half-circle and crescent-shaped emblems on the upper left and lower right sides of the moon, and there is no straight line division.

In this group of symbols, the symbol corresponding to the position of "Reaper" is the symbol of "gatekeeper", and it was the first time Yago saw the other two.

The symbol that Yago recognizes, there is a symbol in the upper left corner, in the group of patterns 1-3, 1-2, and 1-6.

To be precise, it is the pattern of "magic" or "sage" corresponding to "1-3".

Whether it should be called Waite or Thoth Tarot, Yago had no thoughts or clues to investigate.

He only knows that this symbol is what he has seen.

It is the "infinity symbol", an Arabic numeral "8" turned sideways.

Magician, indeed corresponds to the "dream" approach?

Although the inference had already been made, at the moment of certainty, his emotions still fluctuated a bit.

However, not because of itself, but...

He looked at the other two in the group of symbols.

1-2, the "Fool" pattern, is a spiral pattern.

Moreover, its lines also appear to be quite unstable——

As if a wavy line is generally skewed, or...

flame?

Lines distorted by the heat wave?

This thought reminded him of "Attila", the lady immediately.

When this idea emerged, he looked at the pattern, and the more he looked at it, the more it felt like an eye.

In a strong sense of discomfort, immediately, his gaze turned to another symbol

1-6, that corresponds to the symbol of the path position of the "priestess" in the Kabbalah tree.

It is a pattern made up of complicated lines entangled in the winding of a disk.

These lines themselves vary in thickness, some are thick and some are small, and they seem to have an inexplicable sense of flesh and blood.

The lines are entangled and coiled, spreading upward, forming an approximate tree-like outline.

However, Yago looked at the pattern carefully, but felt that the tree-like pattern did not resemble a tree, but rather a kind of "flower" flower.

Moreover, this feeling of interlacing has been more than once.

Yago also felt that he saw images such as "fruit", "seed" and "seedling" in the pattern of complex lines.

It is a kind, a tree, a flower, and a fruit.

Yago can be sure that this is not a pattern that can only be seen by his unique senses as a "time life".

But the composition of these lines contains multiple compositions, just like...

Yago suddenly remembered what he had experienced in the color block room before.

Different perspectives can capture different compositions.

Different senses will have different feelings.

The moment this idea came up, Yago immediately mapped it to a path——

"Rose Way"?

Whether it was the image of the plant or the similar feeling of "synthesis", he directed his goal towards the Rose Path.

However, this pattern, just like the emblem of the Dusk Church, is also different from the emblem of the Rose Church.

However, these are not the most important.

the most important is.....

"Silver Blood".

Or, Fast.

Or in other words, the Star Way.

Yago's line of sight is fixed on the combination of 8-9, 7-9, and 10-9, corresponding to the respective symbols of the combination of the sun, the stars, and the world.

The pattern on the path of the "sun" is a dark mass.

This is not normal.

As I said before, the disciplines related to mythology and folklore are interdisciplinary.

History, economy, politics, society, psychology, etc...

One of the research categories is "semiotics", which is as intertwined as linguistics.

Whether linguistics should be subordinate to semiotics or juxtaposed with semiotics, or integrated or drawn out directly, Yago has no special views, nor does he intend to participate in it.

Semiotics, or linguistics, is very important to mythology and folklore.

Symbol is an abstract concept. Various sounds and visual information can be regarded as part of the symbol in a broad sense.

The beast claims its territory by peeing, and its "urine", this "mark", is a symbol.

Animals store food to leave some objects or make some destruction in corresponding locations. This kind of mark is a symbol.

In humans, especially early humans, the "records" of the outside world or themselves, or the signs of "expressing" to other individuals, are all signs.

Including various totems.

The simplified class symbol is the most typical one.

The sun is often depicted with the simplified outline of a circle.

People's understanding of the "sun" is more or less reflected in these symbols.

After these symbols have undergone changes in the times, they may form commonly used communication symbols—words, which may be replaced by other simpler but indirect symbols and forgotten.

How do "a dark circle" and "the sun" relate to each other?

"Eclipse"?

Such words came up in Yago's mind.
