Arcane Linguist

Chapter 106 The Sudden Rise of Siris
"Mom, I failed the exam..."

In the picture, the child looks depressed and tells his mother the sad news.

Mother's temples are gray and her hands are like bark, carrying the vicissitudes of life after years of baptism.

She was taken aback for a moment, and then with a bit of sadness and loss that could not be concealed, she forced a smile and said: "It's okay, child, keep working hard!"

The screen flashes, a few months later.

"I'm sorry, although I passed the pass, it's still far from enough to go to school..."

With tears in his eyes, the child cried to his mother.

"Why are you so unrepentant!"

The mother scolded, she was really disappointed in the child.

Behind the window, the brothers and sisters leaned on the window sill to watch, worrying or sympathizing or complaining.

This is a true portrayal of many families in Arterine.

Although the Arcane Empire has done its best to promote universal education, the miscellaneous expenses other than tuition fees and the living expenses required for full-time study are still the burden of many families.

Even Roland couldn't help the memory attack after watching it, remembering the situation of his previous family.

The screen flashed again and again.

The child works hard and burns the lamp to read at night.

The family's only possessions were provided in magic lamps, paper, quill pens and other utensils. Even the invention of the alchemy school, the phonograph, which was originally only affordable for the middle class, was determined to buy.

As a result, a few months later, there is still no hope of upgrading.

The mother looked helpless, and she was so desperate that she didn't even have the energy to get angry.

Father was also downcast as he scrubbed his hands blackened by coal in the tub.

"Don't read any more, go to the mine with me tomorrow..."

He made a difficult decision.

"Absolutely not!"

At this time, a crisp voice-over appeared.

The palm-sized, naive goblin came out of nowhere.

She has a cute face like a girl's, with two pairs of thin fairy wings growing on her back, and a soft magical aura radiates from her body, floating out of thin air.

That is the mascot of the Katona Wisdom House, the Katona Wisdom Faerie.

"What should I do if I don't study well, the Wisdom Fairy will help you!"

The child's parents were overjoyed: "Wisdom Fairy, what can you do?"

"Children's poor grades are not because they are clumsy or not working hard enough, but because they lack the guidance of famous teachers and good course materials.

According to relevant investigations and studies, the potential of the human brain is only developed at 10%, and the archmage and arcanist are only at the level of 17% to 20%. We need arcane education methods, blah blah blah..."

"What arcane education method?"

The child's father was a little anxious, and the mother also hurriedly asked.

"Quickly contact Katona Company to purchase the smart house series of high-quality courses. Katona Company is a company established in..."

After an introduction, the Wisdom Fairy gave the answer to the problem.

Parents and children were overjoyed: "So, where can I buy it?"

The wise fairy never tires of trouble: "Shangcheng District, Royal Capital, No. 16 Tulip Avenue..."

Screen transition, a few months later.

The child was wearing a mage's robe and a mage's hat, holding a magic wand aloft, and shouted excitedly.

"I passed the exam!"

Behind is the whole family cheering.

……

After watching the advertisement, Roland's eyes almost went dark.

Mommy's!

Selling anxiety, huh?

But what Roland didn't know at this time was that Kevin Katona not only sold anxiety, he also created anxiety.

Kingdom of Iser, Royal Assets Administration.

In the exquisite whitewashed building, the clerks are busy, working hard on various reports and materials.

Kevin traveled in the family's carriage, and after arriving here, he was able to enter as a son of a nobleman.

After a while, he was arranged to be personally interviewed by the head of the place, the director of the Asset Management Bureau, Jeffrey Iser.

"Uncle Jeffrey, hello, I'm here again..."

With a bright smile on Kevin's face, he strode forward and shook hands with the other party.

"Kevin, what a rare visitor. I haven't seen me here a few times throughout the year."

Jeffrey took out a cigar from the desk drawer and threw one to Kevin. Then the two went to the small sofa next to them, cut the ignition, and chatted while puffing.

After rambling about some past events, Kevin asked kindly, "Does Uncle Jeffrey know about the new Morning Star Award winner of the Rune School, Mr. Roland?"

Jeffrey laughed loudly and said, "We are responsible for the related rights and interests of "Seres Power Word", do you think I know him? "

"It would be great if Uncle Jeffrey knew, I have a wonderful business here, please take a look at this business plan..."

Kevin quickly spread out the proposals he had driven out in the recent period in front of the other party.

With a little surprise, Jeffrey took it over and looked at it, only to find that this is not a business plan. It is clearly intended to use official administrative power to promote the reform proposal of Seres language teaching among officials at all levels.

The Kingdom of Iser implemented a modern bureaucratic system that was born after the arcane reforms. The kingdom's affairs officers were distinguished from political officials, and no longer participated in any political party activities, nor had the right to vote or be elected.

But corresponding to it is a stable and decent job, which has created a large number of well-off citizens.

The education received by this class determines that they have a certain learning ability, and they can be the primary group for the promotion and development of Oracle and Siris.

"Uncle Geoffrey, isn't the Prime Minister having a headache recently because of the overstaffed personnel in various departments and the large number of officials.

Anyway, in the end, you have to pass the exam to be selected, why not add this subject, combining keeping up with the trend of the empire and chasing the frontier of arcane arts..."

Jeffrey sighed with a smile: "You are such a witty little guy, wait a minute."

Immediately, a "communication technique" was cast on the spot, and with the flash of magic aura, it connected to the prime minister's office.

"My lord, I have a suggestion here...

That's right, that's it.

Yes, yes, good.

Yes, Mr Prime Minister! "

……

Soon, in the Shangcheng District of the capital, various departments received a new notice.

"What, you plan to use oracle bone inscriptions and Seres as new assessment subjects, and conduct multiple rounds of tests at the end of the year and in each quarter of next year?"

As soon as this notice came out, all the affairs officers were in an uproar.

"How could it be so sudden?"

"I don't even have time to learn this..."

"No, does this have anything to do with our work?"

Bewildered, confused, uneasy...

All kinds of emotions spread.

After just a few days, some beautifully printed advertisements were distributed to various departments.

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

"Don't let yourself/children lose at the starting line..."

"Oracle Bone Inscriptions/Seres, the pioneer of the era, the frontier of arcane..."

"You don't know Oracle/Seres yet? You're already behind..."

"Not knowing Oracle/Seres equals illiteracy!"

……

Mud horse!

It turned out to be you!
The affairs officers, who were still worried at first, came to their senses and scolded the Katona Company who was involved in the matter in their hearts.

How could they not understand at this time, this is someone with great powers casting spells?
This oracle bone inscription/Seres language is not a traditional dialect of Iser, and it is not an official language recognized by Atrine.

Even if the Yisel Mage Tower has started to conduct experimental teaching, it is only the research of the frontier of arcane.

It is reasonable for arcanists to actively study and explore in order to maintain their sensitivity to magic and their mastery of power.

But... what does it matter to us?

However, complaints are complaints. Thinking of the consequences of failing the exam, being demoted and reduced salary, or even being transferred to the cold government, everyone obediently chose to sign up for various training courses, buy teaching materials, hire private teachers, and hurry up to learn.

Although the clerk is an iron rice bowl, he will not be dismissed easily.

However, there are also huge gaps in rank, salary, and specific responsible work.

If you want to live a nourishing life and maintain a decent life, you still cannot do without hard work.

For a moment, King Iser was up and down, and the voices of Siris were everywhere.

From time to time, some people can also be seen holding books and chewing on oracle bone inscriptions.

They need to study in the shortest possible time to lay the foundation of the language.

……

"Congratulations, Pano, this time the improvement of the "mounting technique" has been completed, you should be the first to contribute, and you must have gained both fame and fortune in the laboratory. "

At the end of September, Roland received the good news that Pano's "mounting technique" had been optimized and improved successfully.

This is a project that has been discussed several months ago. After this period of hard work, it has finally reached the stage of harvest.

However, to Roland's surprise, when he asked Palo about his plans for the future, the other party replied: "I want to take a good rest first, and I haven't figured out any new projects to do yet. "

Roland faintly felt something was wrong.

How can you rest at your age?
He asked politely, and Pano replied, "I've been really busy these days..."

"That's true. If you're tired, you should take a good rest."

Roland was confused for a moment, but he still replied following his words.

After finishing the communication with Pano, Roland browsed the news on the magic net again, and suddenly found that someone was discussing an unexpected news.

"The Kingdom of Iser is planning to implement a new round of examinations for affairs officers.

New subjects, Oracle and Seres..."

Good guy!
After understanding the ins and outs, Roland was secretly shocked.

Then Kevin is really a fucking talent, dare to think and do it.

He even put his mind on the selection of the affairs officer of the Kingdom of Iser.

It has to be admitted that this trick is extremely effective.

If it can be implemented, or even become a regular practice, then he will be able to create a brand new market in the Iser region.

Because in addition to the officers who have already landed to participate in the selection examination, they survived this round of streamlining, and there are also a large number of apprentices who failed to pass the entrance examination to the Mage Tower, waiting to be admitted as officers.

This is not just a round of exams, there will be new apprentices and new applicants every year.

That will be a huge market worth hundreds of thousands!

To be honest, Roland didn't think that the current Oracle and Celesian could support such a market.

But people create demand when there is no demand, and cultivate the market if there is no market.

As long as there is someone, the market can be conjured out of thin air!

Very well, merchant, you managed to get my attention...

"Nice, do you know about this?"

Roland didn't go to Kevin directly, but first asked Lunifus to talk about it.

Lunifers found his email after a while, and replied: "I don't know about it, but the kingdom is indeed planning to streamline its organization recently and transfer some affairs officers.

Although Kevin was a bit of a nonsense, but it was a crooked shot, helping us to promote Oracle and Siris.

In my opinion, let's wait and see what happens, and see how far he can make things.

If this matter is successful, there must be a lot of benefits from the royalties and arcane arts. If it fails, some lessons can be learned. "

"Is that so?"

Roland thought about it, and decided to follow the good advice.

After all, Lunephth is the eldest princess of Iser, and she has a better understanding of the situation there.

……

At the same time that Roland found out about this, some people on the magic net also noticed it and discussed it vaguely.

It is impossible for a magic language to become popular without a certain number of people to learn and master it.

At present, the official languages ​​promoted by Alter Rhine are Ater Rhine and Elvish.

The former, in particular, has been taught since the College of General Studies, and is the first native language of the people of Atlantis.

Natural language corresponds to a variety of magical structures, and naturally, it also has a variety of transformation plans.

The rune culture plan of the Autodox school is the current official school.

There is no such thing as oracle bone inscriptions and Seris, because learning Atlas, Elvish, and Autodox runes is the most profitable thing.

Kevin's approach was to grab a piece of this big cake abruptly and eat it.

But this time, even Oxea didn't say much when he saw it.

Because it vaguely involves the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Iser, as well as the identity of the Archmage Lunifers.

As for other irrelevant people, how can they care about such distant things?
After all, this sudden Seris language craze began to spread rapidly in an inexplicable way.

The direct benefit of this is that some middle-class families in the Iser region and families with senior mage apprentices have begun to notice the direction of the wind.

New exam hotspot?

Very good, as long as you don't die, roll to death!
Studying and taking exams is really a lucrative activity for Arterine, who advocates knowledge.

Admitted to the Mage Tower, you can become a mage, and even conduct arcane research.

With one or two more results, you can eat for a lifetime.

A large family can rely on it to live comfortably, and even completely change the social class.

The next best thing is to join the ranks and apply for a job.

Maybe other companies and groups will follow closely in the future, and they will be tested after following suit.

I'm sorry, child, you have worked so hard, a happy family...

Hurry up and learn this oracle bone inscription and Siris language!
