Arcane Linguist

Chapter 146 The Extension of the Dream Technique
Orvisto Mage Tower, inside the residence.

The projection screen in front of Roland showed a letter from the north.

"I really didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would become a big shot who could be invited by a school...

At that time, I was training in the northern ice field, and I couldn't cheer for you, I hope you won't be offended...

By the way, I am now a real knight. I have also killed the ice wolf and was awarded the Black Iron Medal. After a while, I will accept more advanced potion allergy tests and combat missions.

If all goes well, by the end of this year, maybe he will be a second-tier or even third-tier knight. "

This is an email from Atali, whom I haven't contacted for a long time.

The overall strength of the knight profession is far inferior to that of a mage, and there is an upper limit for people, and many of them will stop at the third level.

It is difficult to obtain additional resources without special contributions.

The meaning of the high magic world does not mean that everyone is a great mage or a great knight.

It's as if there are poor people in developed countries, the low class and even ordinary people will always be the majority.

Roland sighed secretly, and understood that a situation like Atali's had basically been finalized.

After becoming an official knight, drink potions to cultivate to the second to third level.

It is already many times stronger than the low-magic world.

Ordinary knights in the low-magic world are only at the apprentice level according to the standards of Atrein.

"The advancement of the knight profession relies more on objective and material resources such as potions, which is easy to say and difficult to say.

If you don't mind, fulfill your service obligations and stay in the Knights.

I may be promoted to a higher level in the future, and I may even be awarded the title of the Arcane Council, and I am qualified to use mage guards..."

After thinking twice, Roland sent a formal invitation to Atali.

For a person like him who has made great arcane achievements, he has high hopes of being promoted to a higher level.

Once the rank of an Arcanist reaches an associate professor or above, he may be recruited to take up a position in the sky city of Neves.

In the future, it is also possible to become an arcane committee member and wield real authority.

That may involve imperial secrets and needs to be equipped with guards.

At that time, you can use the resources of the empire to cultivate great knights who are loyal to you.

The premise is that Atali has remained in the Knights to keep a complete resume.

This kind of guard will not be recruited from the society, so adventurers or alien powerhouse Trina and the like are not eligible at all, and it is impossible for the Arcane Committee to approve it.

It would take some days to wait for a reply, and Roland then turned his attention back to the study of "Dream Art".

Normally, creating a new spell is difficult.

In the previous life, Blue Star had a popular science story, that is, when Edison invented the light bulb, he tried no less than a thousand kinds of filament materials.

Eventually, it was found that tungsten wire was suitable.

Let's not go into the truth of this little story, but it proves that there are indeed constant attempts in arcane research.

If there is not a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out exploration at the same time, I don't know that it will take years of monkeys to hit the big luck and get the desired results.

However, Roland used his divine power to mobilize enormous resources and efforts to speed up this process, which can be called quick and easy.

When the staged results came out, even mages from other schools participated in the discussion.

"Use the wish technique to increase your rank, so as to drive the level of the mage?"

"That's a good idea, if it's really manageable..."

"I suddenly remembered the promotion ceremony during the ancient magic empire, the kind of ceremony that guides mana to transform magic power and use it to infuse oneself, which is similar to this kind of spell."

"Speaking of which, with the development of arcane arts now, it is much more convenient to use wishing to simulate those complicated rituals."

"It's a pity that this kind of spell uses the power of dreams, so it's not so easy to master."

……

While the outside world was talking about it, Roland thought of another topic.

Go directly to the legend!

"In the era of the magic empire, someone once wanted to become a god and created the "God Ascension Art"...

My inspiration actually comes from this. "

Master Watson communicated with Roland via email.

"You's "Dream Art" is slightly improved, extending the spell structure quoted in "Wish Art", and this function can also be given.

But no, before there is enough accumulation, forced promotion will create some unpredictable effects. "

"In your opinion, what will be the result of forcibly promoting to a legend regardless of everything?" Roland couldn't help asking as he remembered something.

"Of course it's a long dream, nothing but joy.

This is already considered a very lucky safety result, and it is also possible that the success can last for a few seconds, and then quickly collapse..."

"Do you also think it possible to succeed?"

"Say something stupid, is this also called success?"

"Sometimes, failure is not for nothing.

If it can be maintained for a longer period of time, or if the backlash is weakened, so that it will not collapse, wouldn't it be an explosive means to temporarily increase strength? "

"This……"

Master Watson was speechless for a moment.

Roland thought of a famous drug from Blue Star in his previous life, which was originally intended to treat heart disease...

But he didn't expect that the side effects it had would be overwhelming.

It is of course not realistic to ascend to the realm of legend in one breath.

But if it is really possible to temporarily become a legend for a few seconds, and then fall down, it also has its uses.

"My goal is always the real promotion, so I don't get involved in this kind of research.

These materials are the results of my research..."

Master Watson was silent for a while, so he could only reply like this.

"This little old man has a cold face and a warm heart."

Roland sighed, unaware of the other party's extremely bad reputation in front of students and subordinates.

……

"I hope, on par with the gods!"

"I hope to be invincible in the world!"

"I hope to have the strength of a legendary powerhouse!"

"No, no, these desires are too big, and the direction is too broad. Even if you use the magical results of seal characters, it is difficult to reflect the 'meaning' it should be..."

At the beginning of April, Roland added the research branch of "Dream Art".

In fact, this has been biased towards the research field of Master Watson, but after the two discussed privately, they subdivided the field again.

Archmage Watson still focused on the main branch of promotion, while Roland opened his mind and focused on other areas that extended out.

After this, it deflected slightly again.

"I hope there will be no harm!"

"I hope, immortal!"

"I hope to isolate myself from being attacked!"

"I hope, immune to magic attacks!"

……

It doesn't seem to make much sense either.

In the magic system of Arterine, spells that are immune to various damages are not uncommon.

From "Arrow Protection" to "Spell Deflection", from "Mage Armor" to "Energy Immunity", from "Steel Guardian" to "Soul Barrier"...

For all kinds of attack methods, there are already corresponding means.

One of the basic principles of "Prayer Art" is to simulate various spells.

This is tantamount to combining multiple spell effects and condensing them into one.

But the attack methods that the enemy can adopt are limited, and it is the kingly way to see the tricks and dismantle them.

It is not impossible to be directly immune to all attacks, but it is too extravagant and wasteful.

……

He tried step by step in the dream, looking for the "tungsten wire".

This is an Edison behavior.

In late April, Roland suddenly discovered that even if he found a suitable spell (tungsten filament) from a linguistic point of view, it was still too difficult to realize it.

Also take Edison’s experience as an example. Long before Edison, a scientist named Depuyal knew that the melting point of tungsten reached 3410°C. Combined with physical and chemical properties, it is enough to predict that it is suitable for use as a filament.

However, the processing technology at that time was not mature enough to realize it.

Edison did not "discover tungsten wire" until someone else developed a new process for drawing tungsten wire.

The research progress of the "Seres Wishing Technique" by Master Watson is equivalent to the process of drawing "tungsten wire".

"In fields other than Siris magic, I'm only a low-level arcanist!"

Roland once again recognized his current true level.

Outside of Siris's magic, all the halos and cheating methods he possessed will fade away and return to the true level he currently possesses.

Although Roland has tried his best to study and improve himself, but the progress is still slow.

Fortunately, this is also considered normal.

Roland only cared about mourning himself, but what he couldn't think of for a while was that this was far beyond the usual arcanists.

It was he who used the standards of a high-level arcanist and even an archmage to strictly demand himself, which led to depression.

At the beginning of May, Roland once again charged up his divine power and used the "dream technique" to advance to the third level.

This time, there was obviously a sense of obstacle.

But to his surprise, the wish was still successfully fulfilled.

This makes learning 2nd level spells a lot smoother.

Natural languages ​​are different, and the underlying logic and the historical and cultural background involved are quite different.

Only similar language families or language families can use this method to quickly master.

This is why many foreigners find Chinese difficult to learn.

But there is nothing magical about the fact that some Europeans can quickly master the languages ​​of many countries.

Think about dialects such as Sichuan dialect, Hunan dialect, Cantonese, Hakka, etc., and you will understand.

Roland's mother tongue in his previous life was Hakka, so he could understand Cantonese without much effort.
People who use Mandarin can also understand the outline of many dialects.

Only when you encounter something like Wenzhou dialect will you fall into confusion.

In this way, after his magic level reached the standard, he devoted himself to studying the second-level spell "The Elegance of a Cat", and then borrowed "The Power of a Cow" and other spells of the same level with similar principles.

Including "Serith Power Word", "Wind News", and "Protective Arrow", there are a total of 9 types...

These are the textual research cheats handed down by the predecessors, and it really has immediate results.

"Theoretically, I can still learn another level 2 spell, but the part of "Dream Art·Advanced" that eliminates the effect of divine power has basically been completed, and I just wrote it as a thesis and submitted it to "Magic", and I applied for exemption by the way.

I can go to research and become a real second-order mage! "

In the mage tower, in the residence, Roland was satisfied with planning his next plan.

Now, on May 5th, go to Rune City to conduct spell research.

In fact, he had already been there once in March and passed the "Elegance of Cats" exam. Now he has passed seven more exams, plus the "Power Word of Siris" and "Dream Art" that are expected to be exempted from the exam, it is considered complete.

After the exam, Rick who heard the news took him to his manor and greeted him warmly.

Roland then discussed with him the issue of continuing to act as an agent for bronze inscriptions and seal script calligraphy, and got some benefits by the way.

Rick promised that he would sponsor him a "signature fee", which would be credited in batches to support Trina.

Sister Cuihua can eat too much, so if he doesn't spend some money outside, he will be stretched before the June dividend payment period comes.

"By the way, in addition to "Dream Art Advancement", I also plan to invent two first-level spells "Dream Art Bread" and "Dream Art Water"!
Their essence is not void creation, nor is it the transformation of carbon dioxide or hydrogen and oxygen.

What I want to do is to cooperate with the magic net and the void power of the etheric plane, establish a logistics system at the etheric level, and supply basic general supplies to mages in need..."

Because of the lesson of "tortoise shells are needed for oracle bone divination" last time, Roland decided to follow the good advice, and disclosed the news to Rick in advance, asking for his opinion.

Rick was very excited after hearing this: "Provide bread and water? To be honest, there is no business opportunity at all. Even if it is just in case, mages will not be willing to spend too much for this level of convenience.

But if you think about it by extension, if you can go further and provide more services, it is still expected to continue with the business model of 'pay-per-view'.

It is conservatively estimated that there is an annual market of more than 1000 million gold coins in this country, and the future is also limitless when it is promoted to another world! "

A common business sense of Arterine is that the "pay-per-view" model is mature and feasible.

Another common sense of magic is that some spells require materials to be cast, and it is common to sacrifice gold coins and gems as the cost of casting spells.

The object of the latter's sacrifice may be a mysterious existence in the void, or it may be a god.

As a high-magic civilization, Alteraine has mastered this technology, and it is included in the category of "casting cost" or "ritual magic".

According to this, it can completely replace the logistics, fast food and other industries in the magic-free world, and realize magical express delivery services.

It is self-evident how many business opportunities there are.

Roland was almost taken aback by him. He was just starting out, but the other party had such far-reaching thoughts, and wanted to promote the service to another world.

You really are a businessman!

"I suggest not to limit your attention to bread and water, but to change to a famous name, such as "God-given".

Worshipers of the gods would be more than happy to enjoy such a thing.

We can cooperate with the Church of the Gods to promote it on a larger scale according to the sharing model.

In this way, we earn money and are happy; the gods and the church have an additional means to show miracles, happy; believers also gain inner fulfillment, happy...

This is a triple win! "

Roland raised his thumb and gave a heartfelt thumbs up.

"Okay, I entrust this matter to you! I will invent this spell as soon as possible."
