Arcane Linguist

Chapter 105 A noble businessman with a keen sense of smell

September 9, the day after Roland issued his statement.

The Kingdom of Iser, the upper city of the capital.

In a small manor full of bourgeois atmosphere.

All kinds of magical flowers bloom against the seasons, attracting butterflies to fly.

Kevin Katona had no intention of admiring the beauty of the gardens that these ancestors spent a lot of money to build, and passed by in a hurry.

His leather shoes trampled on the masonry pavement, and after a while, he crossed the west corridor and walked into the front courtyard.

In the main building of the manor, in the lobby, several decent employees in formal attire were waiting.

This is the department head of the company under the name of the Katona family, as well as the heads of finance and marketing.

After the Katona family consortium responded to the call of the Arcane Council in the Kingdom and carried out arcane reforms, it no longer focused on the agricultural production of the feudal lords as in the past, and the members of the direct line even moved out of their own territories.

The Katona Education Company managed by Kevin operates teaching aids in Wangdu, and provides services such as course production, sales and skill training.

Everyone looked at Kevin with a little surprise, only to see that the big boss who usually prides himself on being dignified, stable and serious was full of excitement, and the joy between his brows was about to overflow.

"I have something important to announce."

Everyone hurriedly sat in a circle, ready to listen to the teachings of the big boss.

Kevin cut to the chase and said, "From now on, our company will develop Oracle and Seres language teaching business!"

"Oracle bones..."

"Seresian!"

Everyone was even more surprised.

Kevin said: "The family board of directors, I have won support, my father agreed to allocate a sum of money for us to try, but I plan to further increase investment, and even put the original Autodox rune business Cut it in half, and transfer relevant personnel and market resources to the past..."

The person in charge of the company's finance department was shocked when he heard it: "My lord, is this too risky?"

"That's right, we also know the oracle bone inscriptions and Siris language, and they seem to be related to Her Royal Highness, but they are new languages ​​after all, and the industry is still immature..."

"Whether it's hiring lecturers or doing other business, it costs money."

"Didn't we all focus on expertise and vocational skills training before? Why did we suddenly have such a large span?"

Kevin didn't worry about it, and explained with a smile on his face: "How much money can the vocational training outside the Mage Tower make?
Those reckless old fritters want to go whoring for nothing all day long. As long as the textbooks and courses we have worked so hard fall into their hands, pirated copies will spread all over the sky within a few days.

Moreover, adventurers and mercenaries pay more attention to actual combat skills. How can there be so many principles and technical things to learn?
In this area of ​​business, apart from skills training, you can also do something. Others often lose money. It's not clear to you. "

"In addition to this, there is another rather important reason..."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, deliberately drawing everyone's curious eyes, and then continued.

"It may be unbelievable to say it, but the inventor of the oracle bone inscription, Mr. Roland, the winner of the Morning Star Award, has made a public statement that he will not get involved in the teaching of magic in related fields.

You should all know what this means. "

Of course everyone understands what this means.

This is a huge market without an owner, and all the heroes are rising together!

However, after really hearing such a sentence, almost everyone couldn't help showing expressions of disbelief.

"Why would Mr. Roland say that?"

"real or fake?"

"My lord, don't get me wrong, we don't doubt what you said, but... this is really incredible!"

Kevin looked at them with a smile, showing no sign of anger.

"Surprised, in fact, when I just heard the news from the magic net, I was even more surprised than you guys, and I couldn't believe it!

Oracle and Celes are potential magic languages ​​that are good enough to win the Morning Star Award. Mr. Roland himself did this one himself, and he can make many companies make a lot of money just by relying on agency rights.

In the end, he even voluntarily withdrew to benefit the people!

What a public heart, what a great sentiment! "

"That's right, the apostle sent by the Goddess of Wealth is probably no more than this."

"The relevant royalty ratio is still very low, I would like to call it Luo Sheng!"

Everyone couldn't help but praise.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say good things.

If Kua Kua could lower the percentage of royalties, they would rather praise them all day long.

"In short, we must be one step ahead of others, produce teaching materials in related fields with high quality and quantity, and vigorously promote them.

If you don't enter this field as soon as possible to make a name, or even establish a leading position, a large number of competitors will soon appear, and by then it will be too late! "

At this point, the major adjustment of the company's business is a foregone conclusion.

Everyone couldn't help discussing together with a bit of excitement, formulating a strategy to compete for the market, and quickly executing it.

Kevin's family has a close relationship with Iser's Mage Tower, and there have been several experts and professors in his ancestors, and their portraits are still displayed in the Hall of Fame in that Mage Tower.

And Kevin's brother-in-law is also a lecturer in the Mage Tower.

Although these relationships in the arcane world are not as strong as before, they are enough to accomplish what Kevin wants to do.

In a very short period of time, two brand-new series of courses have been added to Katona's high-quality course series - "Katona Wisdom House" brand, and they have been marketed rapidly.

……

At this time, the 8th floor of the Mage Tower, the experimental area.

In the spell training room.

"·!"

Accompanied by the chanting of Siris' incantation, invisible waves shook the mana between the sky and the earth, and the power of the spell hit the target like a violent wave.

Suddenly, the target trembled violently.

Level 2 spell, "Serith Power Word - Shock"!
Successfully mastered!
Roland clenched his fists with a look of surprise on his face.

On the other hand, Skold and Yiwen, who were watching and studying, were full of disbelief.

"You, you, you... You are not even a level 1 mage, so you learned level 2 spells first?"

Scudder almost stuttered in shock, pointed at Roland, and said in shock.

The levels of mages are forcibly divided according to human standards. There is no such thing as a level of mages in nature, and there is no saying that apprentice mages cannot learn high-level spells.

But generally speaking, human beings also recognize these objective existences through observation and practice, so as to formulate standards for division.

This kind of thing still has an arcane basis.

"The Siris spell is really that easy to use?

It doesn't make sense, it's not arcane at all! "

The native Skold said that his common sense had been greatly impacted.

"Maybe it's because my soul was made for it."

Roland gave an arcane explanation.

"This kind of fit gives me extra blessings in related fields, and learning is naturally more effective!
If there is a power word of Siris at level 3, I can also learn it very quickly!

However, the arcane level has not reached a certain level, and it is difficult to continue learning spells above level 4, because it involves the limit of the magic power that one can mobilize. "

For spells above level 4, the power is even higher, and it is already in the category of intermediate level.

There is one stage between levels 1 and 3, and another stage between levels 4 and 6.

This is also the watershed between low-level mages and middle-level mages.

Hearing what Roland said, Scudder finally accepted it.

Afterwards, Roland retrieved some spellcasting records and asked Taling to assist him in extracting them all.

Seeing Roland looking up relevant materials there, Skold reacted and asked, "Are you going to use these materials..."

"I plan to submit an application to the Magic Net Management Office, and obtain the permission to cast this spell without a test!

There are also the mantras of determination and retreat in the future, which are also exempted. "

"That's right, you are the relevant inventor, and you have also participated in the cooperation of the thesis of Grand Master Lunephth!"

Scout suddenly realized.

Under special circumstances, it is indeed possible for a mage to obtain a spellcasting license without a test.

But this is closely related to arcane achievements, and essentially belongs to the category of special rewards for arcane achievements.

If Power Word wasn't an entire "series", if Roland hadn't won other awards, if he didn't have enough spell quota...

If these conditions are lacking, there is a high probability that the application will be rejected.

But now that Roland meets these conditions, there is no need to go through that cutscene.

In the same way, as the true inventor of the "Serith Power Word" and the first author of the paper, Lunefice was also granted permission to cast this spell without a test.

She doesn't need to take any certificates, the thesis is the certificate!

"If you have results, you must be tough!"

Scudder admired it enviously, and said with a bit of longing.

"In the future, I will also use the Siris spell to cast spells!"

Hearing this, Roland couldn't help but glance back at him.

This kid, apart from "Fuck" and "Gan Li Niang" and so on, he can pronounce few pinyin correctly.

Typical "crazy countryman"!
Of course, this is also to blame for Oracle, which itself does not have any corresponding daily spoken language.

It is worth mentioning that this kid is probably a genius of "dumb Seres".

In stark contrast to his messy spoken language, he is quite talented in the written field.

I have privately taught him calligraphy and strokes, and spell scrolls in the field of cultural achievements, and I am getting more and more experienced.

After leaving the spell-casting training room, Roland sent his information to Al through the internal network, asking her to write the application on his behalf, and then talked with Yi Wen about the progress of divination and prophecy magic.

To Roland's surprise, she seemed to be enlightened recently and made some progress.

"Oracle bone inscriptions for divination seem to focus on 'blame' (the original meaning is disaster, and it is extended to fault).

I'm planning to extract functional modules according to the spell structure of "Prophecy", positioning it in divination and asking about good and bad luck, rather than specific matters and action suggestions..."

When it comes to what she is researching, Yi Wen, a social terrorist, doesn't even hesitate, her eyes are full of brilliance.

"Prophecy..."

Roland pondered.

This kind of thing was considered to be the least arcane in the past era, but after the arcane reform, the superstition was broken, and the basis of arcane was indeed found.

Its essence is still the resonance of mana.

Because all things have mana, they all have spirituality. Invisibly, like electromagnetic induction, everything is recorded.

There are many things recorded, coupled with the spirituality of mana itself, it can often be deduced like artificial intelligence.

In the past ignorance era, the frequency of the spiritual power of some special people was naturally close to the mana of these recording layers, and it was easy to resonate, and they were often able to know the past and the future, or gain insight into the truth of many things.

However, the negative effects at this level are quite severe, and may cause some serious backlash.

"Be careful when you do magic experiments."

Roland specifically exhorted.

"Relax...don't worry, I know!"

Egwene said quickly.

Afterwards, Roland had a detailed discussion with her, and learned that Yiwen avoided such backlash by avoiding too specific investigations.

She also does not need to resonate deeply and perceive concretely.

You only need to roughly sense a bad luck and make a judgment.

In the words of some mages, I have already predicted the disaster, why should I go out?
Evasion is shameful, but useful.

Spend one spell quota to prepare this kind of magic. If you predict that it will not go well today, you will cancel the trip and not take risks.

This strategy can avoid many troubles at low cost.

And if it is unavoidable, it is a matter of other magic, and one cannot expect a simple divination to solve all problems.

So even this kind of spell with limited functions is of great practical value.

At present, the premise is not to be like Wu Ding, who clearly found out "there is a ghost" in divination, and then went out to chase him.

That would really turn over.

……

On September 9, the level 10 "Seres Power Word: Shock" entered the network.

Lunephth personally announced the good news to Roland, and a new member was added to the family of Siris magic.

At this time, Roland's special application had been approved, and he was immediately granted permission to cast spells from the magic net.

On September 9, the fifth paper "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Narrative Style and Semantic Analysis" was officially published.

This matter did not cause much reaction, after all, some time ago, many people had already seen it first.

And in the past few days, along with Kevin's showy operation, many advertising and marketing have also been mixed into the magic net.

"Oracle bone inscription is the most influential new type of practical magic script in recent years. Once it came out, it won many awards in the arcane world. Its inventor, Mr. Roland, was nominated for the Morning Star Award and won the award that year, setting the record for the most Young laureate records..."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has repeatedly praised the excellence of this kind of writing in public, and worked together with Mr. Roland to create the pronunciation standard of Siris Pinyin and Oracle. Our courses mainly collect audio from Mr. Roland and Her Royal Highness. The standard pronunciation norms approved by the technical committee..."

"The Siris spell, it's okay to use it..."

"Katona Wisdom House will help you become an Oracle/Seres language expert in three months..."

"Don't let your children become illiterate who don't understand Oracle..."
