Arcane Linguist

Chapter 160 Pano's Encounter

Orvisto Mage Tower, spellcasting training room.

Roland held a low-level staff temporarily provided by the training ground in his hand. Using the staff as a pen and magic power as ink, he began to write out of thin air.

Accompanied by the trajectories of fluorescent strokes passing by, lines similar to natural characters flowed in the air, forming corresponding runes.

They are the dynamically changing handwriting of Siris runes, like magic circles, communicating magic power.

Suddenly, Mana resonated.

The buff effect of "Likjia Secret Blessing" is blessed on the body.

"Success!"

In order to practice his newly discovered spellcasting skills, Roland took a vacation and explored here.

The result satisfied him and he quickly mastered it.

"At first, I didn't expect calligraphy to produce benefits, but it was to lay the foundation for the subsequent development of traditional Chinese.

But I didn't expect it to be rewarded.

Sure enough, in this world, knowledge is power. "

Roland came to the court and told the fox-eared lady who followed her and served beside her: "Remember it for me. This spell-casting technique can be improved as follows."

"Okay, master, tell me."

The fox-eared lady took out a small book from her pocket.

Roland said: "First, hide the trajectory of the magic power flow, making it more secretive and sudden.

[-]. Combining mantras and postures and doing them asynchronously.

[-]. More and faster guide methods, no longer limited to the style of the rune itself. "

Among them, Roland especially values ​​the second point.

To put it simply, the execution of mantras and calligraphy will no longer have a sequential relationship with the original sequence.

They can be considered as two parallel tasks without blocking the thread.

Calligraphy casting... To be precise, the wild grass casting method can be used as a guiding method for spellcasting in a specific environment.

But it doesn't help much with normal spellcasting.

Because voice input is easier and simpler than typing on the keyboard by hand, mages will of course choose to chant spells with their mouths if they have the conditions.

But the two are not mutually exclusive in nature, fully combined and carried out together...

Assume that a certain spell originally takes 1 second to complete the spell guidance, and calligraphy casting takes about 1 to 2 seconds. Combining the two, it will be 0.5 to 0.67 seconds!
This can be regarded as a super magic technique that increases the casting speed by 33%~50%!
But this is not a simple problem of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Multithreading is a very complicated system problem, involving a series of optimization processes.

After returning from the spell-casting training room, Roland sent an email to Lei to inform him of his thoughts.

The editor of the rune editorial department is a senior mage at the associate professor level. He has joined the joint research meeting recently and officially became a member of the school.

Roland was happy to see more and more talents joining his school and becoming a part of the organization.

As for Lei, who has been studying the calligraphy of Sailis recently, he feels more and more that the knowledge in it is profound and profound, and he is also keen to join this relationship.

When he saw Roland's email, he happily replied, "To tell you the truth, I have similar thoughts."

"Then this is really a hero who sees the same thing! How to achieve this efficiency improvement?"

"I think that you can try from the following points..."

The two discussed the main points and difficulties, and they felt like they had met each other for a long time.

……

As news of Roland's published article spread, more and more people knew about calligraphy and magic.

Many people who were originally interested in Siris magic cast their eyes on it.

"Facing the stele, make a brush... wild grass?"

"In addition to spells, using gestures to guide spellcasting is nothing new, but it doesn't seem to be very practical all the time?"

"However, the recognition rate of Sailis calligraphy seems to be surprisingly high, and it has its own unique 'meaning'!"

Everyone was surprised to find that the special structure unique to the Seris script determines that it can develop an art form such as "calligraphy".

The fruitful fruits it has borne in this respect are enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with sounds and meanings!
This is the victory of the word "shape"!

And in the Orvisto Mage Tower, the enthusiasm for calligraphy is even higher.

Several people, including Skoder, also applied for a spare room for this purpose, as a calligraphy practice room.

"Roland, this is the brush we made according to your description. Do you think this brush is suitable?"

Scudder took out a writing brush he made himself as if offering a treasure, and compared it with Roland's previous self-made writing brush, it was still decent.

"It's not bad, this craftsmanship is really a skillful craftsman."

Roland praised sincerely.

"That's not right, I spent several gold coins to ask a craftsman to do it."

Skold exposed the truth in one sentence.

"This kind of pen is soft, and it's too difficult to control. Can't you use a hard pen?"

Senior sister Froya asked.

"Hard pen calligraphy, that's another matter."

Roland briefly explained.

Judging the quality of a calligraphy work mainly depends on the lines, fluency, and integrity of the font. In a narrow sense, calligraphy refers to the method and law of writing Chinese characters with a brush, including brush handling, brush movement, stippling, structure, layout (distribution, line). times, rules) and so on.

Modern hard pen calligraphy is actually difficult to reflect the charm of calligraphy.

Everyone starts with writing, and practice how to control this tool that is not used much.

At this time, Roland himself practiced.

In his previous life, he was not a great calligrapher, but just a beginner in calligraphy.

In modern society, the soil for the development of calligraphy art is getting scarcer, and it can no longer show vigorous vitality like the Wei, Jin and Tang dynasties.

But at this time, the unique advantages of the magic world are reflected.

Roland wore the "Gorgeous Mana Crystal Necklace" on his body, and his perception was super high, and he could clearly feel the subtle changes of luck at the tip of the pen.

This super high perception and observation ability, as well as the gifted sense of space, have great blessings on the structure and composition of calligraphy fonts.

The only thing that still feels inconvenient is probably the control of the fingers.

However, Roland groaned for a while, chanted the spell, and blessed himself with "The Elegance of a Cat".

Agility +4!

It was resolved immediately.

"Is that okay?"

The other seniors and sisters saw it and followed suit.

The trainee mages and first-order mages were dumbfounded.

This level 2 spell...

They won't!

Scudder was also dumbfounded: "You guys are too cheating."

Roland was confident: "All the powerful people in the sky are open, if there are useful magic methods, why not use them?"

While speaking, he recited the mantra again: "Scholars are enthusiastic!"

This is stacking buffs.

"Know so many spells, but you can really do whatever you want!
Fortunately, I also learned the "Liujia Secret Blessing" invented by you.

Although it is just a simple +1 effect, it can also improve some dexterity and observation skills. "

Scout shook his head helplessly.

He can only be convinced by this kind of coercion.

……

An hour later, the effects of buff spells such as "Cat's Grace" and "Scholar's Enthusiasm" ended, and everyone went back to study or work.

Roland stayed and asked about the research progress of Skold and others.

"Hey, don't mention it, the printing of spell scrolls is much more difficult than expected. This kind of thing has been solved in theory, but in the actual production process, there will always be various problems. .”

Scudder said with some distress.

"That really needs to be continued. The ideal environment in the laboratory is still different from the actual production."

Roland heard it, but didn't say much.

This kind of thing can only be solved by themselves.

Froya also stayed: "Roland, didn't you say before that the joint research association needs some officers? I want to try it."

"Senior sister, it takes a lot of time and effort to take up those positions." Scudder said in surprise.

"Do you think it doesn't take time and energy to be a teaching assistant?" Froya couldn't help but give him a blank look, but then she said helplessly, "I also want to be an arcanist, and I want to study more advanced arcane arts. But who told me that my talent and knowledge are just like that, and there is no way to go further.

I've already figured it out, instead of counting on myself to achieve something in the field of arcane arts, it's better to grow up with Roland and the Joint Research Association.

Recently, all kinds of people and things in the school have become more and more complicated. It is definitely not enough to rely on everyone's enthusiastic part-time jobs to deal with them. I want to resign from my position in this mage tower and transfer to the joint research meeting. "

"Senior sister, you are willing to help me. That's great. I'll tell the teacher about it."

Roland readily agreed.

The Orvisto school is a small school, and with the relationship between Orvisto and Roland, this kind of job-hopping is also very simple, just say it.

Even after resigning from her position, Froya can still stay in the mage tower.

Because her status as a mage stationed in the tower is separate from the job she holds, as long as the organization is kept.

Of course, it will definitely be inconvenient to do this for a long time. When the superiors are reviewing, they will have doubts about the staffing and various benefits issued. It is best for Roland to have his own mage tower or research institution, and transfer her to past.

But this kind of thing is not urgent, as Roland grows up, it will definitely be resolved naturally.

After returning, Roland specifically told Al about this matter, and asked her to hand over some things.

So far, Al is still taking care of most of the things in the joint research meeting.

However, her identity is an alien creature, and she belongs to Roland's personal family, which is still inconvenient after all.

It is inevitable that these official duties will be gradually handed over to specialized personnel in the joint research association.

Al heard it and reminded Roland: "In this case, the establishment of a general meeting in Nevis City should also be put on the agenda.

The staff of the joint research association are scattered all over the place, and it is inconvenient for them to come and go.

Usually relying on magic network communication can solve many problems, but there must always be some places to meet offline or hold meetings. "

"That's right, there weren't so many manpower and money to handle this matter before, but now that I think about it, I should be able to solve it."

"By the way, master, there is one more thing that I wanted to tell you just now."

"what's up?"

"It's about Mr. Pano, the improver of "Mage Armor" and "Mount Art". He has encountered difficulties recently and wants to seek your help. "

"Pano?"

Roland was very impressed with this person, because he was the first person who noticed the trend and improved the level 1 spell "Mage Armor" at the beginning of the development of Siris magic.

It was also his group of people who set off the trend of Siris magic.

Now, Roland has won the Morning Star Award, and the magic of Siris has also developed more and more prosperously. More low-level spells have been successfully "translated" and used the results of Jiajinzhuan.

Especially after the seal characters came out, the achievements of those talisman cultures have great blessings for the application of magic.

There are more and more people studying Siris magic, and the results are emerging one after another, but Roland can't remember so many people.

After being reminded by Al, Roland performed the "Screen Projection Technique", opened his mailbox to check, and found Pano's letter.

"Mr. Roland, I'm very sorry to send you such a letter, but recently, I have had disputes with my research institute over the rights and interests of "Mage Armor" and "Mount Art".

My boss Loweide believes that the relevant rights and interests of these two improved spells should belong to the team, as a collective achievement, and even dissatisfied with me leading the follow-up research.

Recently, I advocated further improvement of the "mounting technique", but Lovelde bullied me in terms of funds and team voice. So far, I can't bear it anymore, and I specifically request you to provide me with magic net communication as a relevant witness Auxiliary evidence of correspondence records..."

Al explained: "I have read this letter and found that Mr. Pano is arbitrating the rights and interests of arcane achievements with the research institute he works for, and wants to compete for the rights and interests of "Mage Armor" and "Mount Art" .

Mr. Pano is an expert in conjuration under the name of the Mage Legion, and is employed by the research institute. The reason why such disputes arise is entirely because the magic of Siris is not included in the research plan. He has come into contact with it because of his own interests. And understand, and get inspiration by chance, to successfully improve these spells.

Mr. Pano has devoted a certain amount of time, energy, and wisdom to this work, but it is inevitable that some public resources will be used in the process. "

"I also know a little about this matter, but hasn't it been well distributed before, why are there still disputes?"

Roland frowned, this kind of dispute reminded him of what happened to some senior brothers of Blue Star in his previous life.

"Before, because the prospect of the improvement results was unclear, the research institute allocated half of the equity to him according to the usual practice, but as the related benefits increased, the superiors were dissatisfied.

Loved, the boss he said, advocated the revocation of this right.  …

But more importantly, it is to have complete control over the follow-up research and development project "Maxima".

To be precise, it was because they had taken a fancy to the prospect of Siris Magic and wanted to make more in-depth improvements without Pano. "

"I see."

Roland knew that in the eyes of some superiors, the results are what fell from the sky, and the so-called talents are also made by the platform.

Especially in the age when the arcane has developed to the point where the division of labor and cooperation is extremely deep, and any important invention is inseparable from the collective, this objective fact has greatly magnified some people's superstition about collective power, thinking that there are so many R&D talents , leaving anyone can still do.

Pano, a lucky guy who has made these achievements with collective resources, wants to take this opportunity to rise to the top, it is wishful thinking.

Researching Siris magic was definitely not planned, because it didn't exist at that time.

It is also impossible for the higher-level department of the research institute to approve any funds specifically for this research project.

Pano's use of this to achieve results is also something unplanned.

That being the case, where did the time and energy and experimental resources consumed in this process come from?

Do you think it's worthwhile to come up with additional results?

To punish you, the lightest thing is to catch fish during working hours!
Only when the funds are approved step by step and the project is established, will they be promoted for the sake of credit or hard work.

If even unplanned results are rewarded, and everyone is staring at their own personal promotions, blindly harming the public and private interests, then what's the point?

What's more deadly is that after the Siris magic gradually rises, the higher authorities will also pay attention.

Then new projects will more or less involve this field.

Is it to let the person designated by the superior take the lead, or to make Pano take the lead?

This is a more critical question!
……

At this moment, in the legion research institute somewhere in the Dolan Kingdom, far away in the Alter Rhine, Pano was a little restless, checking his mailbox.

Ding!Roland sent you a new email!

Pano shuddered, opened it quickly, and looked at it.

"Mr. Palo, the discussion records related to "Mage Armor" and "Mount Art" are provided as follows, and I have submitted my personal authorization to the magic net. I hereby certify..."

He had just beamed with joy, and suddenly discovered that Roland had sent a second email.

"Mr. Pano, I have already learned about your situation, and I personally express my sympathy and understanding for your experience, but there is an old saying that is called a blessing in disguise.

You have a keen arcane intuition and a superb compatibility with Siris magic, maybe you can take this opportunity to leave the research institute and achieve your own career..."

Pano was surprised because this was a digging letter.

Roland was going to encourage him to change jobs and come to Loon City to establish a laboratory under his own name.

Roland even promised to set up a research institute for him and provide him with the opportunity to stay in the tower if conditions permit in the future.

This is essentially from a school member to actually becoming his follower.

Now that Roland has said such a thing, he can be considered to be straight and confident.

He had just received a batch of special support funds from the Arcane Committee, so he could start by entrusting characters such as "horse" to him for research.

In addition, with his help, you can also apply for additional funds to really set up a door.

Regardless of whether it is the official Atlantis or the private consortium capital, they will be happy to help Roland, a potential star, for his sake.

Therefore, the future he promised is real and effective.

"Jumping?"

Pano hesitated.

People have inertia. After working in this research institute for so long, how could they just leave?

He still has his own family and life, and all kinds of relationships have been fixed, which is his weakness.

However, after thinking about it, even the immediate boss is making things difficult for him, and he doesn't like him, so what's the point of staying in this research institute?
It's better to find another job.

At this critical moment, it depends entirely on Roland's personal charm.

He believes that Roland can give him a better future and is worth relying on.

……

"Sir, here is today's agenda, as well as the laboratory's weekly work report."

In another office, the potbellied Lovelde sat on his chair, watched his private secretary sort out the items in a pile of documents, sorted them, and nodded.

However, what he is most concerned about at the moment is obviously not these daily trivial matters, and he asked, "How is Pano going?"

"Pano?" The secretary paused, with a slight smile on his face, "That guy is still stubborn, refusing to write those reports."

"It is indeed humiliating for an expert like him to explain clearly whether the research process has misappropriated the resources of the institute, but this is only an internal review, which is a normal work requirement. If he does not comply, it is a disobedience." command!
Moreover, all colleagues and friends related to him will also be implicated.

Who knows whether their daily work has provided him with convenience, and how much of it involves public property and experimental resources?
He has to write these inspections, and he has to write them if he doesn't write them. It's useless to insist on them! "

The secretary flattered: "Mr. is wise."

"It's about the same as the beating, so it's time to recognize the reality and work obediently.

Working hard is what a boy from a commoner like him should do. Many young masters and ladies are watching the research and development of the new project "Maximum". As for the promotion, if he succeeds, he can also share some credit.

The results within this plan should be the rewards he deserves. "

Lovell sighed.

"It's a pity, that guy has been working in the institute for more than ten years, and he still has edges and corners!"

"Maybe it's because of luck. I think it's my own credit for making some achievements, and I don't understand the world at all."

The secretary nodded.

"If I say he can, he can, and if I say he can't, he can't.

This truth, he will understand sooner or later.

I really don't understand that a lifetime is the life of a researcher. "

Loved commented unceremoniously.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Lovell said, "Come in."

The door was opened, and the person who appeared surprised Loved, it was Pano just mentioned.

Holding a piece of paper in his hand, he came to Lovelde.

"Have you finally figured it out? This is your inspection report?" Lovell thought that Pano had succumbed, and said with a smile on his face.

"No, this is my resignation letter." Pano said calmly.

"How dare you?" Loweide's face flushed, but immediately he showed a bit of anger, stood up, pointed at Pano and said angrily.

"Just resigned after being so wronged. Do you still have a collective and a team in your eyes? Do you really think that you can't play without leaving the office, and the world revolves around you?"

"I give up the related rights and interests of "Mage Armor" and "Mount Art", just want to leave. "

Pano said calmly.

Loweide misfired, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
