Arcane Linguist

Chapter 118 Advice from the down-and-out old man Orvisto, who has a debt of up to 1000 billion copper dollars

Orvisto Mage Tower, in residence.

The succubus partner, Al, has completed the important matters that Roland asked.

She came to Roland's room, stood upright, and reported: "Master, this is the list of the first batch of official members of the Joint Research Association. There are 60 people in total. Please have a look!"

Roland took the newly released summary list from her and checked it.

"There are more people actively signing up than expected."

Even with the customary limit of "having relevant results", the number of people who obtain full membership is as many as half a hundred.

More than half of them are people from the Orvisto Mage Tower, including people from the 8003 laboratory, senior sister Froya, Skold, Yiwen, and other tower people who have successfully obtained results.

On the outside, headed by Lunifuss, Pano, Buno, Pimiller and other powerful members.

Recently, due to the prospect of "Jin Wen Bian", a new batch of scrolls and spell casters have been successfully optimized and improved.

Responders are gathering!

Al reminded: "There are still more than 100 people who have signed up, but those who have not met the requirements for the time being have been included in the list of apprentices according to the usual practice. I plan to call them junior members, and full members are senior members."

Roland said: "It doesn't matter what these names are, anyway, the essence is the same.

By the way, Al, find some part-time accountants and clerks, regularly deal with accounts and backlog mail, and leave the less important things to them.

Your position has been promoted to a housekeeper, responsible for coordinating and assigning various tasks, and at the same time taking care of the seminar side, I will find someone to take over the work there later. "

The Symposium is essentially the entity of the Selis School and needs to be taken care of.

Lunifus also contributed a lot in this matter, she has a lot of professionals under her command, who can support the administrative management.

Al was promoted and said happily, "Yes, Master!"

Roland looked at the list for a while, and suddenly remembered: "Master Watson...do you want to send an invitation letter to Master Watson?"

Al was taken aback: "But he seems to be one of the leaders of the Autodox school!"

Roland said: "Nice told me that he was the one who reviewed my manuscript and raised objections!
But he is also the owner of the "Prayer" oracle bone culture...

Speaking of which, the person who didn't deal with us this time, the high-ranking mage named Jia Luo, was still his student..."

Roland talked and thought for a long time, but he didn't understand what was going on here.

Could it be that the people in the chaotic camp are playing so extravagantly?

"Forget it, let's send an invitation.

In the Hakka dialect, it means "Ha (hǎ) Shiyi", and he was not expected to join. "

Soon after, in the private laboratory of Master Watson.

A little old man with a rumpled bird's nest of hair on his head was scratching his head desperately.

"What is this?"

Recently, he was studying the "Prayer Technique" in retreat again, and he had no idea what was going on outside.

……

In name, the Joint Research Association is a purely arcane research-oriented society with the purpose of learning and growing together. The organizational structure is very simple and loose.

Like other similar organizations, it consists of councils, chapters, and research groups from top to bottom, and some consultants are set up outside of it.

And then... it's gone.

The council is responsible for the daily operation and major decision-making of the entire joint research institute, and is also the initiator of many discussion topics, projects, and topics. It is composed of the president and several directors (sub-presidents).

The branch is a small council that is managed according to the arcane field or geographical classification, copying the structure of the superior.

Under the branch, there are research groups divided according to topics and projects.

According to the charter of the joint research association, they are not appointed by the council or branch, but formed by each member.

Outside of these three levels of institutions is the Advisory Board.

These people may not have much to do with the arcane achievements in Cyris, but they are a source of many contributions, and donations can be added.

Advisors do not set levels, the same is true for high-ranking mages, and the same is true for low-level mages. They are talking about the equality of all beings.

Generally speaking, such an organizational force is very loose and free. At present, only Roland is the president, Lunifuss is the director of the council and the president of the Siris Spell Branch, and Orvisto is a consultant. Personnel are temporarily idle.

Roland gave these materials to Orvisto for review, and Orvisto briefly looked at them, and pointed out with a smile: "Do you have such a doubt, what is the use of such a loose organization?"

Roland said: "I'm really a little confused, but I think that most arcanists believe in chaotic neutrality or absolute neutrality. It is not so easy to gather them and form a tight organization."

Orvisto said: "It's true that Arcanists are not ordinary people. They are loose in form, but the consistency of interests and beliefs is enough to achieve the purpose of using power in one place."

"The so-called dragons without a leader, the world is prosperous, probably so." Roland expressed his understanding.

"If a group of giant dragons don't have a leader, the world will be peaceful?" Orvisto nodded approvingly, "It's a good way to say, although you are young, you can be regarded as born knowing it, and many of them need to grow up to a certain age. Everything that can be understood and comprehended at this stage can be understood at one point.”

But immediately, Orvisto said: "But there is another key point that you didn't expect, the establishment of such an organization will have a skin that can accept donations and handle a lot of public business.

This is similar to the reason you set up a charity organization in order to avoid the trouble of the green dragon a few days ago! "

"what!"

"After the application is approved, set up the finance as soon as possible, and properly manage the operation of the funds."

Orvisto pointed.

"I plan to donate 10 gold coins to it, and you can find someone to receive it."

"This, thank you teacher very much!"

Roland said happily.

"By the way, what about the charity?" Orvisto asked.

Roland lifted his spirits and said, "I am planning to establish three foundation-like institutions.

The first one is called 'Seres Relief Society', which specializes in helping those in need, helping and subsidizing potential arcanists within the school, and helping them get through the difficult time when they are short of money;

The second one is called 'Seres Angel Investment Assistance Association', which operates special funds for arcane experiments, and prevents potential arcanists from various schools of runes from being forced to give up topics and projects due to lack of funds;

The third is called 'Seres Educational Foundation', which mainly helps popularize education, provides lunch supplies and tuition fees for needy students, and guarantees the supply of basic learning tools such as various quills, magic paper, and light crystals..."

Orvisto smirked.

Is Roland himself considered a potential new star within the school?

Of course.

So when you are short of cash, you should eat the relief of this foundation.

If his project lacks funding, does he need funding?
Of course it is also necessary.

As for the education foundation, it seems that they really want to do something practical.

It is very meaningful to help needy schoolchildren. Although Arterine has realized the compulsory education at the apprenticeship stage, many learning tools are in limited supply. Without sufficient material guarantee, it is inconvenient to work hard.

It’s just that Orvisto still doesn’t know one thing: “Why is the second company called angel investment? Do you believe in the gods of Paradise Mountain?”

"Ah, I just think that the image of an angel of a good god is good, so I just borrowed my name."

Roland smiled awkwardly. He didn't think about it that much. He was just familiar with the term angel investment.

"It doesn't matter. Helping others and giving alms are good deeds, and believers in altruism will feel good about it."

Orvis made some calculations and pointed out: "It is necessary to ensure that more than 5% of the funds are spent on charitable projects every year, and it needs to be audited by the relevant departments of Art Rhine.

It's a pity that the salary of the succubus companion and the magic spar you may use in daily life are considered extravagant expenses, so it's not easy to put them in their name.

But it doesn't matter, you can donate to the Church of the Queen of Silvermoon.

Lawful succubi are all loyal followers of the Silver Moon Queen, and they are willing to provide services to Lord Good Fortune for free, and even continue to provide relief and support after you unfortunately go bankrupt.

Under the Queen's commandment, the feedback of offerings out of grace and gratitude is very famous. "

He was smiling but not smiling, showing an unscrupulous expression.

"As expected of you, teacher!"

Roland couldn't help complaining, this set of game rules for high-net-worth individuals, his old man really knows it.

Then Orvisto told Roland that the donation to the Church of the Queen of the Silver Moon may be twice as expensive as the normal form of employment, but the advantage is that being able to become a high-level church member has a lot of benefits.

You can donate this amount if you feel in the mood, and the accumulated amount can be passed on to future generations even if you can’t use it yourself.

It is simply doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, benefiting future generations!
But at this moment, Roland suddenly thought of a problem.

"Teacher, if you do this, the faction tends to slide towards evil, right?"

There are factions in this world that are opposed to each other. In the future, if a messenger of justice such as a paladin detects something is wrong, a "detection of evil" will shine on it, and it will light up like a light bulb. How embarrassing?
It is not so easy to become an evil person, unable to even enter the gate of the Good God Church, and may be shouted and killed at any time.

Orvisto said calmly: "Don't you know that there is such a spell as "Atonement", which can reverse the alignment shift caused by evil deeds.

In most cases, a confession fund is paid to the church in the form of a donation, and if you sincerely repent, you can invite the priest to cast a spell. This thing is much better than the 'indulgence coupon' that fools the common people.

Didn't you just get a windfall from the green dragon? Take out part of it, befriend the Silver Moon Queen, and find a few more backers to balance it out.

The Church of the Seven Gods was established as the orthodox belief in Arterine, which respectively believed in the God of Light, the Mother Earth, the God of War, the Goddess of Wealth, the God of Wisdom, the God of the Sea, and the Goddess of Luck.

Among them, lawful goodness has only the God of Light, but it is a god with more believers and a wider influence.

You mentioned angel investment just now, and I thought of His apostles. You can chat with people in the church, and maybe you can ask for donations from them.

Anyway, you donate to them for performance, and they donate to you as alms, one yard for one yard. "

When Roland heard this, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Is that okay?

Burning incense and worshiping gods everywhere, he has no psychological burden.

Anyway, he is a pan-believer, whoever aura believes in.

But after playing like this, I am afraid that I will be struck to death by the lightning from the heavens together with the church personnel involved in the operation!
Ovisto looked at Roland's expression, guessed his concerns, and smiled faintly.

"Actually, there is another way of operating your property."

"Anything else?" Roland's brain was buzzing.

Teacher, why do you old sows wear bras, one set?

"Do you know that I am a branch of the royal family of the Sals Kingdom?

After I made my fortune, I donated all my properties to the royal family I was born into. However, I owed a huge debt of up to 1 million gold coins to many nobles and Hilt Company due to the construction of the Mage Tower, and the interest alone was not paid off.

The proceeds from the spell scroll that I shared with you some time ago were all used to repay the debt, and half a gold coin was not left behind. "

Roland really doubted that you owed so much, why are you still drinking and drinking all day long, and still have money to donate to your foundation?
"They pity me as a lonely old man with no money or property under his name. They are afraid that I will suddenly starve to death. Not only will they not press for debts, but they will also send a group of people to take care of them and serve them. They will provide them with good wine and food every day, can't they?

Besides, the current king of the Sals Kingdom is my cousin, and they are willing to support me, a member of the royal family who has made outstanding contributions to the kingdom, for a long time, so as not to lose the dignity of the royal family.

The collection of books and the wasted wine you read before are all the property of the royal family. They are just stored in this mage tower and I am in charge of taking care of them. "

Roland was dumbfounded, and made a fuss for a long time. This is the concierge, Mr. Sals!

Almost all his income has to be given priority to those big creditors, and he has to pay huge interest.

Theoretically speaking, Art Rhine has to provide him with minimum living guarantee and free housing!
If he is willing to put down this old face to apply.

"It's a pity that you don't have the qualifications to do this yet, at least wait until your mage level and arcanist level are above high level."

The down-and-out old man Orvisto, who was in debt as high as 1 million gold coins (1000 billion copper dollars), taught the young Roland this way, he was afraid that Roland was eager for quick success, and if he was not strong enough, he would play this trick and be killed by others.

This is not just the operation of creditor's rights, but also a series of interest channels, and even the construction of the network.

Roland: "..."

Sorry, student, I am so young and ignorant.

But he also understands that the things inside are very complicated, and it's not where he should spend his energy now.

You just need to get a rough idea and know how to develop in the future.

……

On November 11, the materials for the establishment of the Siris Co-research Association were successfully submitted, and the application for establishment was officially issued through Mowang.

After learning about it, Lunifuss offered to donate 30 gold coins on the spot.

Rick and the Mages Guild of Loon City raised 15 gold coins.

Other individuals and institutions also contributed generously, raising tens of thousands.

In just a few days, it is hard to say whether the manpower has gathered, but at least the power of money has gathered, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 60 gold coins (6 million copper dollars).

Soldiers and horses go ahead without food and fodder, which will be the capital of developing the Siris school and preparing for the arcane competition!
