Arcane Linguist

Chapter 113 Tortoise Shell Divination, a Great Omen!
"I found out that there is an extremist force called 'Tinyara Restoration Army' inside the Kingdom of Lena. They hate colonization, appeasement, and the royal family that is now in charge of the Kingdom of Lena.

The current royal family is actually a puppet regime supported by the Cowrens family for colonial rule. It belongs to the distant relatives of the previous dynasty...

Originally, with the magic level of the Reiner Kingdom itself, it is impossible to pose a threat to us, but those people don't know where they colluded with the power of the evil dragon..."

In the Reiner Kingdom Guild Hall, Skold posted inquiries in several communities he frequented, and checked a lot of public information.

Roland was also watching, and finally figured out who the possible opponent was.

It seemed so complicated, but after confirming that I was involved by accident, I finally felt relieved.

"Having said that, Roland, you performed well today, very brave."

After understanding the situation, Scudder also turned around and praised sincerely.

"Casting spells in combat is not a simple matter. Many spells that can be used proficiently in the actual combat environment may not be used due to nervousness, or the caster completely loses calm and rationality, and throws spells everywhere.

This kind of thing has never been taught in the academy, and it is not easy to teach. It can only be understood by everyone. "

"It's nothing, just relying on a large quota of spells and good equipment to crush the opponent."

Roland is very self-aware.

"However, we arcanists don't have the time and energy to hone our combat skills, so that's really all we can do."

"Speaking of which, how did you use that wishing technique at that time? Listening to you chanting the spell, it seems to be very short, and the wish you said at the last moment is only a few syllables."

"This is..."

Roland himself was a little startled when he recalled the situation at that time.

"It seems to be the case. I spoke the Seris language out of desperation. According to my own understanding, it pointed to the desire to kill the enemy...

Unexpectedly, Mana understood this sentence and even responded to my satisfaction!
Doesn't this mean that, in the field of wishing, Celesian has a unique utility that other languages ​​don't have?

For example, what is the convenience of speaking the law according to the class and directly communicating the rules? "

This point is difficult to prove.

Even Roland felt that if he wanted to replay the situation at that time, he had to add his own mentality, tone, and thoughts at the time of the decision.

Every time the "Limited Wishing Technique" is cast, resources equivalent to about 2000 gold coins will be consumed as sacrifices.

Such a large amount of expenses is not so easy to be willing to spend.

"It's better to ask Archmage Watson."

Scudder thought for a while and made a suggestion.

"Isn't that Archmage the one who optimizes and improves the "Prayer Art"? His understanding of this spell is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Even Teacher Orvisto may not be as good as him in this regard." . "

"Skold, you are such a witty little witty ghost!
I need your help, like a crouching dragon! "

Roland agreed.

So he cheekily wrote a letter to Archmage Watson, informing him of the phenomenon he had discovered.

There is no data, no analysis, and no related spellcasting reports and battle cases.

Roland didn't understand these rules too well, so he just talked about it air-to-air.

Anyway, Archmage, if you are interested, go and have a look, if you are not interested, forget it.

Not long after, in Master Watson's private laboratory, a little old man with messy hair like a bird's nest scratched his head desperately.

"What is this?"

……

After Roland confirmed that the email was sent, he ignored it and continued to talk to Egwene about the improvement of prophecy magic.

"Did you go out today..." Roland almost bald, and said "go out to see the almanac", thought for a while, and changed it to say, "It's really unlucky not to have a fortune-telling. If I had known that I would be assassinated, I would have It's better not to go.

Although Mr. Leon helped me reimburse the expenses of using the wish technique, but in truth, I also used the charge of the staff and my own quota.

If you didn't get rid of that opponent at the last minute, you might have to use some scrolls for self-defense and life-saving.

No wonder it is said that spells burn money. In addition to doing magic experiments, fighting with people is also a small spell with tens or hundreds of gold coins at every turn. When encountering a higher level, it is really gold and silver. "

"That's true." Scudder strongly agreed.

Roland said: "It would be great if Yiwen's research can be a big success earlier. I can predict it before going out. I don't even need to predict it so clearly. I just know the good or bad."

"I... I will try my best!"

Yiwen blushed and said with a little shame.

"Haha, don't have such an expression, we're just talking casually, and it's not your fault."

Roland comforted.

"That's right, do you think Mr. Leon's family attaches great importance to the heirs of the Reiner Kingdom, would they not seek someone who can use prophecy to make predictions every day? But even that kind of professional, it is impossible to do it Foolproof.

Forecasting the future, it is possible to be countered, and it is possible to include factors including us. In the end, it is considered auspicious if there is no danger.

The guards and ordinary followers who are not covered by the prophecy will be in bad luck. "

Scott also said.

"Actually, the research on inscriptions has made some progress recently. I thought it would take a while to tell you, and I didn't use it much. I didn't expect this to happen."

Yiwen said with a bit of self-blame.

"As for the accuracy and practicality of divination, I think it should be higher than ordinary divination."

"really?"

Roland and Scudder looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.

After a while, they watched Yiwen demonstrate on the spot.

Yi Wen took out a small bag of magic materials from her pocket, and after opening it, the two discovered that it was a light gray powder.

She concentrated her magic power on her fingertips, sketched a simple triangular pattern on the table, then poured the powder into the center of the equilateral triangle, and began to chant.

"~~~?~~~~?~~~~~~?"

Her voice was clear and sweet, but her tone seemed to become low and ancient as the ancient words were recited.

The modern spelling of Siris cannot spell the pronunciation of oracle bone inscriptions. It is difficult to verify the ancient pronunciation in modern times. We can only deduce the ancient pronunciation from the medieval "Qie Yun" phonetic system. However, due to the arbitrary principle of language, Roland forced these The chain of signifiers was reconnected, and got the resonance of this world and mana.

Because of this, Yiwen's spells also brought about certain rules in the dark, and they were full of strange rhythms accompanied by the immersion of spiritual thoughts.

Roland was also a little surprised.

The method of tortoise divination has long been lost. I did not expect that it was restored by Yiwen, and it still looks decent.

Does this... really work?

When he was absent-minded, he seemed to see an ancient chaste man divining for the king of Shang.

The ancient voice sang: "Xun's blame? Ten's blame? Is it okay to blame?"

In the void in front of the three of them, a strange pattern made of magic power appeared, like the phantom of a tortoise shell, with steep cracks blooming, showing complex lines.

Yiwen's eyes widened suddenly: "There is trouble!"

"What's wrong? What do you mean?"

"It means that there are ghosts and gods, and disasters are about to come! The result of divination is a bad omen!"

Roland often discussed this matter with Yi Wen, so after seeing the cracks on the phantom of the tortoise shell, he also judged it.

"It is true that there is a bad omen, but this kind of magic has no way to make further judgments. We should not go out during this time."

After Yiwen finished the ceremony, she said to the two with a bit of anxiety.

"It is necessary, it is better to believe that there is something than nothing."

All three of them knew the lesson of "Turn over the car" and nodded repeatedly.

……

Since it was getting late, the three of them separated after divination and returned to the place where they lived.

Roland made a brief summary of what happened today, mainly because of his response to the battle.

An arcanist like myself is destined to be a krypton gold player. He usually makes more preparations, or simply hires people as personal guards. It is not very realistic to temper combat experience.

All kinds of spell scrolls, magic equipment, alchemy potions, and even artifacts, all kinds of things that ordinary adventurers can't even imagine are armed to the teeth, and the strength will naturally be there.

This is like a tiger in the forest. It doesn't need to exercise deliberately at all. It is at the top of the food chain just by its physical quality.

"Are there any guardian succubi among the succubus companions?"

Roland thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be there.

I saw a few of them at the time, and the temperament was high and cold, sassy and strong.

Looks pretty good.

Queen Silver Moon understands people's hearts, and she can provide all kinds of succubus companions.

It's a pity that it's not convenient to set up an altar here and summon it again.

Had to go back and make plans later.

Roland felt that he needed some guards, assistants and secretaries. He used to be an unknown person, and he would not offend anyone. Now he is working with the Shilt Company and the Karens family to deploy in the Kingdom of Leiner, and it is possible to follow him. All kinds of people come and go, and they will be in trouble inadvertently.

A situation like today's is simply unavoidable.

After some more mail processing and some arcane communication, Roland turned off the light and lay down, slowly falling asleep.

……

"Roland! Roland!"

In a daze, Roland seemed to hear a hazy voice.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and woke up.

"Well... my body...

You obviously haven't exercised much, why do you feel a little sore? "

Feeling a bit puzzled, he rubbed his shoulders, sighed helplessly, and got out of bed to wash up.

As a result, he turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"This... what the hell is going on here?"

This place is no longer the previous guild hall and villa. The original brick-and-stone human building has become a green house full of strange and dreamy styles.

The bed is no longer what it used to be, but a bed of broad leaves.

Roland ran out of the door with some suspicion, but even the door was covered by two leaves. Sensing the approach of people, he slowly moved away.

Probe to look out, the look of surprise on the face became more and more serious.

I saw a towering old tree outside, and the hut I was in was located at the end of a branch, like the upside-down leaves of a pitcher plant forming a thick wall.

This hut hangs upside down in the sky like a cloud, and there are many similar huts around, as if fruitful.

Roland pinched his arm, but he could feel the pain.

But at this time, he has realized that there is no simple way to judge whether he is under the influence of some kind of dream spell.

Because being able to break through the defense of Nieves City and bring himself into such a place in the private manor of the Collens family must not be something light.

"Legendary creatures, incarnations of gods, artifacts, or something else?"

He thought to himself, guessing that this kind of thing is probably only possible for legendary existences above the tenth level (level 20) or artifacts of the corresponding level.

Although it is not a time of war, and the defense circle of Sky City will not be fully activated, even the lowest-power daily protection is not something that can be rampant at an ordinary level.

"I haven't felt any threat yet..."

Just when Roland was thinking this way, suddenly, there was a whistling wind in the sky.

A giant dragon with emerald green body and blade-like scales all over its body spread its wings and came by the wind.

Roland visually estimated that the dragon's wingspan was about 15 meters, and it belonged to an adult dragon that had just reached the adult standard.

According to the information taught by the academy, this is a giant that weighs tens of thousands of pounds, which is four to five times the weight of the young golden dragon when he transformed into a dragon.

And watching the other party flying towards here with a human body, getting closer and closer, I sincerely felt an inexplicable oppression like a giant phobia.

Among the adventurers, there are legends that are not strictly academic, that is, the five-color giant dragon and the metal dragon, the real dragons, have a special power originating from the dragon god.

That is the real upper species, and the blood and spirit naturally oppress the lower species.

That is the so-called "Longwei".

The mages tried to explain this phenomenon, and indeed they were able to find a reasonable answer from physiology and psychology.

"Longwei" is indeed an objective existence.

Not only giant dragons, but almost all powerful and fierce creatures will form a great deterrent to weak existences.

Roland couldn't control his adrenaline secretion, his body tensed involuntarily, and his pupils constricted.

Not long after, a huge green dragon flew over and emerged in the air, transforming into a female elf wearing a leather jacket and a gray-black cloak.

She has a tall figure, a strong outfit, and is extremely hot.

The towering peaks and glamorous face, set off by the waist-length emerald green hair, gave off a rustic and strong aura spontaneously.

Weak, pitiful and helpless, Roland, who was shivering like a quail, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and muttered to himself, "It really is a bad omen!"
