Arcane Linguist

Chapter 156 What happened to our arcane world? (seeking a monthly ticket)

Inside the Mage Tower, in a clean and bright classroom.

A white awn appeared in the palm of Roland, and the light talisman condensed with magic power condensed into the shape of the word "cutting" in the oracle bone inscription.

While demonstrating on the podium, he talked eloquently and explained.

"Students, watch out, I'm about to start transforming..."

With the operation of the magic power, the shape of the characters changed, turned into bronze script, and then into seal script.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, great seal scripts have been developed, which are known as Zhuan Wen, Zhuan Zhuan, Zhuan Shu, and Shishu. After the Qin Dynasty, the survivors of the sixth generation ruled the world, and formulated Xiaozhuan on this basis.

On the whole, it is standardizing, regardless of the glyph structure, or the thickness and length of the lines on the font, they are all becoming uniform.

Roland explained these as "design ideas" based on the information he had sorted out, and then said: "I just showed the structure and line changes of the Seris characters.

Among them, the magic power is involved in the operation and the complete symbolization process, which is the hub between the magic power and linguistics, and the coding system constructed by the 'image-symbol'.

From a linguistic point of view, sound and meaning are arbitrary, and in fact symbols and meanings are also arbitrary. Even in a mature and stable language, different words often have meaning changes due to conventions.

For example, princesses, gentlemen, cavalry...

When we cast spells, we should pay attention to its original meaning and evolutionary development route, so how can we reflect the completeness of this information?
In my opinion, it should be to add a measure of time to analyze every word...

This is the basic form of the Seris rune.

The key to the development of Seris lies in history, which is an evolution on a time scale. When learning, you need to pay attention to the time scale on the two-dimensional plane.

Therefore, the Siris rune should be a dynamic character. "

Not long after, Roland stopped after recording the new lesson, and finished class on time without missing a second.

In the classroom, there were dozens of people sitting there, all of them were members of the Siris Joint Research Association.

They stood up and applauded him.

"It's very good. We have already understood the connection and development process of the Jiajin seal. This process of change and development has become the foundation of the Siris rune, and it is indeed appropriate."

Some people even said with sincere emotion: "It seems that this is the unified standard of our school!"

These are all subsets of Chinese, and their respective development and usage of runes have deep fields.

However, in terms of development potential and the richness of the background, it is still not as good as the entire Siris rune system.

As the founder of the Siris School, Roland's ability to achieve this step was not beyond everyone's expectations, but what really surprised them was that it was so fast and smooth.

It seems that I have to learn again in the future!
……

"I've read your latest paper, and it's really good.

This is not just a new power word, but also includes the entire Siris rune system...

You know, this is something that even many archmages, including your teacher, Your Excellency Orvisto, haven't done. "

After returning, Roland found that Master Watson had sent him an email.

"Things that even the teacher didn't complete?"

Roland was slightly taken aback.

"Your Excellency Orvisto presided over the compilation of ancient magic runes, and wanted to unify the compilation of magic runes from multiple historical periods that have been popular in Atrein.

Although this project allowed him to be selected as an archmage, and he even won the Arcane Star Medal because of it, which was a great honor, but to be honest, it was still anticlimactic and messy in the end. "

Master Watson's words were sharp and unceremonious as always.

"We can't blame him for this. If we want to blame it, we have to blame the broken inheritance of multiple historical periods, the continuous destruction and rebirth of civilization, and the changes and changes of various languages ​​and characters..."

Roland defended his teacher.

In fact, many things in the Seris culture have also been annihilated and missing.

But different from this fantasy universe, the history and culture of Seris are passed on to the general public, there is no longevity, no gods and demons, and even the elite nobles are defeated.

All you can rely on are words and antiques!
On the contrary, the importance of the Siris characters has been raised to an unprecedented level!

Imagine that the aristocratic family still exists, and only the top-rank nobles are qualified to read and write Siris...

Even more extreme, only "kings" and "priests" can control the tribe of writing.

How many talented scholars and beauties can there be with this kind of literacy, and what kind of civilization can be born?
The poor family's reading and the imperial examination system are great innovations, leading the world for thousands of years! (Although there are also historical limitations)
In addition, there is also the credit for the unification of Qin and the formulation of Xiaozhuan.

This is a high degree of purification, interfering with the process of natural evolution with the power of the system, which is an unprecedented miracle in the entire history of mankind.

When Roland came to this world, he thought that this world has a history of tens of thousands of years, and the alien plane may have tens of millions of years. There are gods and demons, and there are legends. longer time.

It stands to reason that the historical and cultural heritage should be richer, and the language and writing should be more developed.

But in fact……

Develop a fart!
I am a giant dragon/Legendary Faye, and the history of my life is the history of the development of the entire civilization.

I am the country, I am civilization!
The rise and fall, success or failure of a country, the rise and fall of a civilization are just froth in the course of a long life, what value is there?

Destruction is the calculation of destruction. After I die, what cares about the flood?
There used to be some time dragons who loved history and civilization, legendary mages and the like who claimed to be historical recorders, but they just recorded a lot of materials in their minds, or moved some relics back to their private libraries. Seal it up and put it on the shelf.

Their tentacles are limited, and it is difficult to relate to the whole picture of history, and it is even more impossible to create and maintain history.

Furthermore, there are exchanges and melees between various planes and worlds, such as the Kingdom of Lena, once invaded by alien races, it is like a civilization where the Indians are destroyed and a fart is left behind!
Because the gap in individual strength is too large, and the crushing between world levels is also common, the historical inheritance of this universe has embarked on a completely different path from the history of Siris.

Roland dare not say that this path is useless, after all, the gods and demons are real gods and demons, and legendary mages also possess unimaginable power.

But the things handed down by relying on these great powers are more like castles in the air, and most of them can only be passed down in the form of relics and secret books.

Therefore, it is not easy for linguists and historians in this world.

In the absence of various historical materials and relics, use magic to realize the dating project, carry out archaeological excavation (the archaeology here may still be a military force, and have to fight various dangerous monsters), historical data research, and face all kinds of problems. The interference of foreign cultures and extraordinary forces is really not an easy task.

After the discussion was over, Roland sent an email to Luneforth as usual to greet her.

Then there are relatives and friends in the native world, members of the school.

At this moment, he was attracted by a piece of news.

"Our newspaper reports that the Kingdom of Leiner suffered a major defeat. Namor, a town with a population of more than 8, was massacred, and [-] members of the foreign legion were killed!"

There was a lot of scolding below.

"It's too barbaric!"

"The Tinyana Restoration Army is indeed a helpless idiot. With such a large population, they are all high-quality colonial targets, and they just slaughtered them like this!"

"Where did the Cowrens family go, just let them do whatever they want?"

"Didn't you see the report that even the mage squad stationed there was killed, several of them died at once!"

"Oh, God of Luck, why don't you take care of those poor fellows!"

Some people also found the details worthy of attention.

"Why were all those people beheaded? Is it some kind of sacrificial ceremony?"

"It's obvious that those barbarians started a bloody massacre in order to sacrifice innocent people!"

"They seem to have gained extraordinary power from primitive religion!"

……

"Something's wrong. The Cowrens family can't be so incompetent. Let's sit and watch Serrad rise?"

Roland suddenly became suspicious.

However, Bolas was in the king's capital, and it was really impossible for Bolas to go to the front line so far to deal with them in person if he wanted to prevent villains hiding in dark corners from summoning evil gods or other messy alien powerhouses.

It's no surprise that loopholes are being looked for.

He heard people say that the mage legion stationed in the Kingdom of Zalena has long been overwhelmed.

The situation over there is too chaotic, there are attacks every day, and enemies are everywhere!
It's hard to say what happened in the distant colonies, and it was like looking at flowers through fog for a while.

……

At this moment, in the guild hall of the Autodox School in Nieves City.

Gallo listened to a member of the school report the newly discovered news to him, with a serious expression on his face.

"This is the prototype of the Siris rune, and it has already been studied to this point.

Jiajin Zhuan, even Jiajin Zhuan Li Caokaixingjian... This is the systematic framework he proposed! "

"Gallo, is this achievement remarkable?"

"It's more than remarkable, it's simply the creation of a sect and leading the times!"

Even though he used to disdain "apprentice mages", Gallo had to admit that in just a year or two, Roland had grown to the point where he could look straight up, or even look up.

"If I'm not mistaken, the next paper he will write is the establishment of the Siris rune system. This is his arcane achievement and the foundation for the future archmage!"

"It's actually... so powerful!"

Members of the School of Autodox were shocked.

"It's far more than that. If it's just his own achievement, this paper will stop at the level of the archmage, but in fact, it has created a new system. In the future, members of other schools can read this article, Find similar research methods, and then make the corresponding runes step by step...

Just imagine, there are tens of thousands of characters in Seris. If each character can be analyzed like the word 'cutting' to analyze the law of mantra, it means that papers like "The Word of Seris - Cutting" are still possible. There are thousands of articles!
What kind of influence is this? "

This is already the point where "the patriarch enjoys the meal".

Roland is the patriarch who pioneered this field. I don't know how many heavyweight papers are waiting for everyone to explore.

Gallo explained.

Taking an important paper on mantra spells of level 0-3 for each rune, and being able to submit to the level of the secondary journal "Magic" as an example, tens of thousands of articles can be written.

And around these tens of thousands of "Magic"-level papers, various optimizations, improvements, discussions, and expositions of ten or a hundred times more can be born. This is another second-rate journal paper.

In addition to this, there are tens of thousands of hydrographs written by apprentice mages below the third rate.

This is just the part of the evolution from "Seres characters" to "Seres runes".

Combining words with words, combining more magical principles and predecessors' arcane achievements, evolved "Oracle Bone Divination", "Liujia Secret Blessing", "Xingtian War Intent" and other spells of the Siris school, which are enough for each article. Published in first- and second-tier journals, supporting the achievements of middle and low-level arcanists throughout their careers in arcane arts!

To be precise, there are three main fields that the Seris School is currently cultivating.

One is the school of runes, theories in the field of linguistics, including new characters, pinyin schemes, etc., which focus on basic research in the academic field. A typical example is "Study on Oracle Bone Inscriptions".

The second is the school of magic. The application level of runes and spells is basically to "translate" the existing magic into Celesian. A typical example is the oracle bone rune culture of "Light Art".

The third is the results of productization, such as the use of spell scrolls, alchemy products, and so on.

Originally, Roland himself focused on the first point, while other school members focused on the second and third points.

Everyone got their own place, thinking that this is the so-called blue ocean.

As a result, the "Seres Rune System" took shape, and the previous blue ocean was just a lake.

Unifying the "Jia Jin Zhuan Li Cao Kai Xing Jian" is the real blue ocean!

After listening to the members of the Autodox school, they were completely numb.

This……

What a competition!

Is it still too late to join the Siris School?

Where to register, who is the contact person, how much is the membership fee, and what are the requirements?
But when everyone was thinking this way, they suddenly realized that things were not that simple.

Arcane art has no boundaries, but arcanists have boundaries.

In particular, the Autodochs school still holds a large number of official schools with political and economic rights and interests. It is still possible for individuals to change jobs in the past. The rights and status controlled by those schools cannot be taken away at all.

As those with vested interests, they actually have no other choice. Even if they are the ones who hinder the development of arcane arts, they must first ensure that their power and status will not be lost.

Everything else is fake!

"Since his rise is unstoppable, what should be done to deal with it?"

"This Seris School is too popular, you have to suppress it!"

"Not to mention anything else, recently there have been a lot of funding applications from the Arcane Committee for the Celestial Language Research Association, and there are dozens of hundreds of low-level spells... If they are approved, there will not be many rune schools. ah!"

"Although there is no necessary connection, for a period of time, the funding is always limited, and if it is given to them, it cannot be given to us."

"Those capitals are chasing new arcane arts... Recently, those spell scrolls and silver scale armor have been sold to another world, which will greatly affect our original interests!"

Everyone couldn't tell if they were jealous or not, they always felt offended.

Seeing that kid gain both fame and fortune, it is even more uncomfortable than being down and out!

"I thought about this problem before and launched the phonetic alphabet of the Oss alphabet, but now it seems that it is difficult to suppress the opponent just by fighting head-on on the field. Maybe I have to take some off-the-chart tactics."

Gallo looked solemn and said to everyone.

"The development of arcane arts, in addition to arcane arts itself, also has political, economic, cultural and other influences. The members of our school are spread all over the Arterine and control all walks of life. It is entirely possible to work together to resist it.

The committee can also decide to reject some funding applications. Except for well-known arcanists like Roland himself, other unknown ones have good reasons to suppress them. In the future, if you see those from the Joint Research Association, just reject them. . "

"It sounds good, but it just doesn't feel safe without a good reason."

Everyone thought about it and said.

"Yes, boycotts always need a reason."

"If you reject the funding application, it shouldn't appear too deliberate."

Gallo said: "You can give some benefits to other people and schools first, and spend public funds in addition to wooing them. This will have a good reason."

"Yes, anyway, those items are dispensable, there is a lot of room for manipulation."

This kind of behavior is essentially hindering the development of arcane arts.

The allocation of resources will not reach the hands of those who need it most, and will be completely controlled by those with vested interests, which will cause many problems.

But it is necessary to maintain power and status.

Even if they know it is not good to do so, many people will still do it, and even become more determined because they realize this.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Having said that, everyone knows that they still need an opportunity.

An opportunity to deal with the Siris School in an open and aboveboard manner.

After plotting for a while, the meeting was dismissed, and Oxea returned to her small room, ready to process the manuscript at hand.

As a result, a piece of news caught his attention in the newspaper that had just been delivered.

Oxea looked at it, almost jumped up excitedly, quickly took the newspaper, and looked for Gallo's room.

"Gallo, I found it, I found the opportunity!
Just look at this news, here is a reporter exploring the secrets, claiming that the totem technique used by Serrad and the others is exactly the same as the legend of Xingtianwu's relatives in "The Romance of Siris".

At least he was inspired by this story to do so! "

Jia Luo was slightly startled when he heard the words, took the newspaper handed over by Oxea and read it.

……

The next morning, a group of mages from Arterine had just woken up and read the morning papers, when they suddenly discovered that "Arcane Review", "Nevis Daily", "Arterinian News", "Plane News" etc. Newspapers and Monet Media jointly published a number of commentators' articles condemning the massacre committed by Serrad in Namor.

To be honest, people in Altera are not really interested in matters of the alien plane.

Unless, there are magic crystal mines or various magic materials, or those relics that contain high magic knowledge and the mighty power of gods, and even various opportunities to prolong life, live forever, and even become gods.

For this kind of denunciation, many people just laughed it off and didn't care much.

But at this moment, a commentator's article written by Okesia attracted everyone's attention.

"It is reported that a few days ago, Mr. Roland discussed with many people the new practical spell "Xingtian War Intent" and the supporting combat technique "Seres Power Word Slash". .

With Mr. Roland's arcane reputation and magic level, I believe this thesis will be approved soon and be officially published. This should have been good news to increase my background in Arterine, but after I understand the ins and outs of the matter, I can't help but There is deep concern about the current morality of the arcane community and the management of forbidden knowledge.

Take the massacre that happened in Namorcheng, Kingdom of Lena a few days ago as an example...

...Seres School is promoting this kind of crime. The "Xingtian Totem" used by Serrad is closely related to the invention of the famous arcanist and the winner of the Morning Star Award, Mr. Roland...

What happened to our arcane world?I fell into deep thought.

It must be a systemic problem...

I hereby strongly appeal to strengthen local arcane ethics. Arcanists should also spontaneously resist this kind of taboo knowledge involving the sacrifice of evil gods, and carefully approve all kinds of dangerous projects that may be related to it.

In addition, it is necessary for the committee to pay more attention to the phenomenon of technology outflow, and re-strengthen the management of the export of arcane and magic items..."

The article itself is a bit long, with tens of thousands of words in it, but it is nothing more than a few meanings.

[-]. The Seris school is very dangerous and evil, and it needs to be suppressed. The specific measures are to strengthen management and reduce funds;

[-]. The water of taboo knowledge is too deep, Roland, you can't grasp it, let us from the old school come;

[-]. Strengthen the export management of technology and various products, limit commercial profits, and even impose large fines;

As soon as this article came out, everyone was in an uproar.

In Alteraine, arcanists do not have too many limitations in researching all kinds of knowledge.

Although occasionally some extreme druids and rangers call for environmental protection, or when it comes to taboo knowledge such as necromancers and evil gods, and magic of mass destruction, there are occasional politically correct debates.

But generally speaking, they are all in a lawful and neutral position, objective, rational and calm.

Arcanists can kill and dissect all kinds of creatures mercilessly for the advancement of arcane arts, or cast curses in certain non-regulated areas to observe the impact of various magical powers on the target.

As for environmental pollution, the study of corpses and even souls, the old school has done everything.

Few people would deliberately target a rising star and a school that is about to rise.

Anyone with a discerning eye immediately realized that this was the old school's suppression of the new school.

They are beginning to seize the moral high ground, laying down fortresses here, preparing sticks and javelins.

Maybe, the high-level members of the committee will make some efforts, and there will be substantive sanctions coming soon!
