Arcane Linguist

Chapter 161 The school must have its own foundation

"You're not kidding?"

Loweide finally came back to his senses and couldn't help asking.

"Sir, would you joke about such a thing?"

Pano asked back.

Lowe had nothing to say, so he could only ask the secretary to take a resignation document and sign it, and said to Pano, "Okay, you can go through the formalities."

"Thank you, goodbye."

Pano took the file, said a word, and wanted to leave.

"and many more!"

Lovell called him back.

Pano turned around and asked, "What else do you need?"

Loweide hesitated: "No...nothing..."

Pano didn't ask any further questions, and quickly left the office.

"This is not right. Didn't he still fight for this and that with the office before?" The secretary looked at Lowe and reminded, intentionally or unintentionally, "There must be something weird in it!"

"What else can be weird, it's nothing more than finding a next home and wanting to take the "Maxima" project away!But since he gave up "Mage Armor" and "Mount Art", even if I don't agree, the higher-ups will agree.

It's a pity that the project has not been settled, so we can only organize another manpower and start from scratch. "

Lowewede weighed the pros and cons, feeling extremely sober.

The secretary was a little worried: "In case it doesn't work out..."

Lovelde sneered and said, "Could it be that the institute can't do anything without him, Pano?

In my opinion, even if Pano finds a new home, it is really difficult to find sufficient funds and manpower to work together on the research and development of "Maxima".

Even if it happened by chance, it was lucky to produce results again because of the use of the resources taken away from the institute. "

The secretary thought about it and decided to shut up and say nothing more.

……

"Pano, why did you leave?"

"There's no need to make trouble like this..."

"You are too impulsive!"

Pano still has some friends in the institute. Hearing about this incident, he couldn't help asking questions.

There were also people who shared the same hatred and said angrily: "According to me, as for that pig boss, who makes things difficult for others all day long, I have long since disliked him and thought about leaving!
But what I don't understand is, Pano, why did you give up the rights of "Mage Armor" and "Mount Art" so easily?Is this too soft? "

Upon hearing this, Pano said, "I have made arrangements for this matter."

In fact, it was not his own arrangement, but Roland's own arrangement.

Pano simply said goodbye to everyone, and after agreeing to have dinner in the evening, he began to prepare for the handover, and planned to resolve this matter within a week.

Then, communicate with Roland to report the progress.

"Leave from there now. After you leave, I will fight for the rights of "Mage Armor" and "Mount Art" for you! "

"This...isn't that good?"

Pano was a little uneasy.

"Mr. Pano, you are being bullied because you are too honest.

The morality and kindness of this world are used for people who also have morality and kindness. For those who lack these, they should never be used, otherwise they are doing evil!

There is an idiom in our Siris, which is called assisting the evil, understand! "

This Pano really understands, King Zhou, Di Xin, the last emperor of the Yin and Shang Dynasties mentioned in "The Romance of Siris".

"I asked you to do that just to obtain complete procedures so that I could ask someone to transfer you to the Mage Guild in Loon City.

What if they don't let people go and forcefully leave, becoming a wild mage?Or, are you going to argue with them for a year or so before being assigned to some border town? "

Roland replied.

""Mage Armor" was completed by yourself, and I only constitute a reference relationship, but during the research and development process of "Mount Art", you have consulted me a lot, please discuss with me, I am the founder of the Seris School It's not too much to take part of the credit, right?

Not to mention who the committee's arbitral tribunal will favor, they can't stand just refusing to renew the authorization agreement! "

"Mage Armor" and "Mount" are not special original spells, and the original Elvish version can also be used.

Once Roland refuses to renew the authorization, the cost of the patent fee for this achievement will be as high as 30%, and they will bear it.

"According to my inference, the final result will be that they will get the invention patent of "Mage Armor", but 30% of the royalties will belong to me, and "Mounting Technique" will be 35% for them and 65% for me...

In addition, you can also initiate a lawsuit to fight for the rights and interests in this.

As long as I can get back half of it, it is already a victory. At that time, I will give you back 45% of what you deserve, and I will only keep a total of 20% of the royalties..."

Such things as royalties are the foundation of the Atlantis system.

It doesn't mean that you can take it away if you want to.

Otherwise, what would the arbitral tribunal do?
Some powerful people are used to using various methods to oppress goodness, but in fact, it is really uncertain who will win and who will win by resorting to the law.

Hearing this, Pano was helpless, but he felt a little bit of pleasure in his heart.

He himself is not good at dealing with the original work unit, but Roland...

There is really no need to be polite to them!
This exchange can be said to be heart-to-heart.

However, the higher-ups of the research institute were not vegetarians either. Before Pano left, he was required to sign an agreement to renounce it in black and white.

Regardless of whether this unequal contract will be recognized by the arbitration tribunal, at least, it will go further and accept Pano on a moral level.

Those who are a little weaker will fall into a passive situation where both morality and law lose.

"If you don't sign it, even if you kill it, you can come directly to Loon City. They are afraid that you will go back on your word, and you will be weak instead, and they will take chances."

The copyright of Atrein is directly bound to the person. This kind of nonsense agreement has no effect at all.

This is essentially a time-consuming and energy-consuming method that deals with people, not legal provisions.

However, the specific terms here may also involve patent transactions or other replacements, and a small part has legal effect.

A bad man is like a spring, if you are weak he will be strong.

For a while, Roland had no way to confirm what agreement the other party wanted to sign with him, so he could only rely on Pano himself to force it.

Fortunately, Pano listened to Roland's words, and on the grounds that there was no need to sign extra things for normal resignation, he quickly completed the formalities and moved his family to Loon City.

Seeing this, the research institute had no choice but to give up angrily.

At this time, it was already the end of September.

There were some surprises when Roland applied for new projects and funding for him.

"Financial difficulties, can only give 1 gold coins?"

It's not that the research institute is making troubles, but that the people of the Autodox school are sanctioning the new school.

As Gallo and the others said, they can't cover the sky above Roland's head, but it is still possible to restrict other people of the Seris School.

Moreover, those who hold key authority will not be so stupid as to not approve at all, it is nothing more than going a few more times, adding more deductions, and making things difficult.

Jumping back and forth on the verge of violating regulations and breaking the law, you make a fuss, and he also says you are making trouble for no reason.

Roland has nothing to do with this kind of thing, and it's not impossible to argue with every reason, but the cost is too high.

He couldn't be as helpful to everyone as Pano was.

But fortunately, the previous special funds were used to maintain blood transfusions in such a big environment, and the top management had already expected it.

He transferred 3 gold coins from his own name. By the way, he used the friendship he had formed through his previous promise to revitalize the industry. He made some connections with the local guild in Loon City, and managed to get 5 gold coins. At least it was a success. Establish a project and arrange for Pano.

……

"How about the Maxima project? "

A few days later, at the Legion Research Institute, Pano's original boss, Lovelde, asked the secretary.

Now Pano, whom he disliked, is gone, but the project has to go on.

Counting the days, it's time to get the funds down and start the official launch.

As a result, the secretary's answer took him by surprise: "The ministry won't approve it!"

"What, what do you mean by not granting approval?" Loweide asked in surprise.

"I heard a gossip, and I don't know if it's true..." The secretary said cautiously, "People from the Autodox School are targeting the Seles School, and all projects involving related fields will receive funds." very tight.

And on the side of Loon City, Roland personally asked for a sum of money for Pano to start the project, and our side was brushed off. "

Lovell froze.

He has learned the idiom "no calamity without reason" without a teacher.

"damn it!"

Lovelde couldn't help yelling.

"Are the people of Autodox bad? When did I provoke them?"

He also learned the quintessence of Chinese culture.

……

"It's strange. The number of members of the school has increased dramatically, and applications from all over the world have recently increased significantly. What's going on?"

Just as Lovelde was yelling, Froya, who had just taken over the affairs of the joint seminar in Orvisto's mage tower, also discovered a strange phenomenon.

At first, she thought that Roland's "dream technique" became popular, which caused a large number of people to pay attention to the school.

"It shouldn't be a problem with the "dream spell". This spell has too many restrictions and does not meet the conditions for great popularity. "

Another part-time school member said.

"Wait, I seem to understand a little bit. It's because the calligraphy is known recently, and people outside the school have started to learn the calligraphy of Siris."

Froya flipped through the information, and saw that the interest column on many application forms was filled with Siris calligraphy, and suddenly realized.

This thing has nothing to do with arcane research, it can be used as a hobby to cultivate one's temperament.

At the same time, it also has the effect of improving actual combat capabilities.

I heard that even the mage legion has begun to notice it, and plans to learn it as a combat skill!
……

On the other side, Roland was also listening to Al's report.

"Master, the committee sent a letter of inquiry requesting the compilation of a general teaching material for calligraphy so that it can be promoted in the Mage Legion."

For things that improve the combat effectiveness, the higher-ups of Atlantis will pay attention to them.

"As an expert receiving special allowances, I have an obligation to respond, and I recently slightly offended a research institute under the name of the military, maybe there will be lawsuits in the future.

This matter will be done first. "

Roland said calmly.

Although this incident cannot be said to have been expected, if it is beneficial, it must be known and used by others.

This is an unassailable truth.

He practiced this way, and he was not afraid of Loved and others at all.

"Besides, there are more people asking for financial support from you."

Al said one more thing.

"Oh?"

It was only then that Roland realized that those who joined recently had other reasons besides being interested in calligraphy.

"This is being targeted by the Autodox School, here comes the group for warmth!"

However, this is not necessarily all bad.

Those sufferings that cannot defeat people can only become tempering after all.

I can use this power in turn to enhance the cohesion of the school.

As the saying goes, share the same hatred.

Having common goals and enemies is more conducive to the growth of the organization.

Of course, the issue of funding is also critical.

If this problem is not resolved for a long time, the vitality of the whole school will gradually dry up.

Not long after, Roland sent a message and invited Senior Froya over.

"Senior sister, I don't think it's an option to continue like this. If our school wants to rise, we still need to have our own foundation, such as sources of funds, or people who hold authority in key positions!"

"That's true, it's easy to handle things on your own." Froya deeply agreed.

"The circle of the Rune School is too small. Excluding the various elementary schools, the members of the official Autodox School account for half of the country.

It is impossible for all members of this school to be hostile to us, but there are some people who dominate key positions, and we can control our lifeline in various funding, evaluation, and awards.

For the time being, Alteraine still has the law, they neither dare nor have the right to go too far.

However, legal harm within the purview still exists.

I would like to ask you to go to Nieves City to inspect the site selection and construction of the guild hall...

I have already contacted Mr. Leon of the Coulence family and decided to accept their donation to build a school venue near the Reiner Kingdom Hall! "

"Finally...are you going to Nieves to develop?"

When Froya heard this, she immediately understood.

"That's right, Nieves is the arcane center of Arterine, the political center, the cultural center, most of the power departments and arcane journals are set up there, no matter what, they want to gain a firm foothold there!
Moreover, Atrein's practice is to be an official if you are good at learning. If I am promoted to a higher level in the future, I will definitely be transferred to take charge of a certain journal, or become the editor of "Arcane". At that time, I will have some foundation. "

"You have won the Morning Star Award, and there will be such a day."

Froya felt sincerely.

According to Arterine's practice, relying entirely on qualifications, there is a chance for promotion after more than 10 years, and more than 3 years in terms of post contribution and arcane achievements, and the Morning Star Award or other important achievement awards are special cases among special cases.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to be promoted from middle-level mages to high-level wizards, which is a ladder of hard work for a lifetime.

But Roland will be promoted soon.

Promotion bottleneck?Totally non-existent.

"Theoretically speaking, senior lecturers are already qualified to serve as editors of some first- and second-tier journals, and they have the crucial power to review manuscripts in the Magic Empire!
Although ordinary editors are not qualified to cross research fields and disciplines, and the range of papers they can review is very small, it is still necessary to squeeze out some people from the Autodox school and master autonomy.

I'm planning to apply for a promotion recently, first as a senior lecturer, and then as an editor of "Runes".

In the future, at least it will be easier for my own people to pass the manuscript, and if there are results, it will be logical to get more funding. "

In fact, this is also similar to the academic arena of Blue Star in the previous life. The tutors all like their disciples to teach in universities and stay to serve.

……

On June 10, in residence.

Roland came back from the rotating library, and just stepped into the gate, he saw Al leading the fox-eared girl, the dog-eared girl, the rabbit-eared girl, the cat-eared girl and a group of servants waiting there, saluting with a sense of ceremony: "Congratulations, master!"

"What happened?"

Roland was a little puzzled.

"Your papers on "Xingtian War Intent" and "Seres Power Word - Cutting" have been officially published. "

Al said.

"Damn, why did I think it was, isn't it just a small piece of "Magic", and it's not the top issue."

Roland waved his hand.

"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Having said that, with a smile on his face, he took the envelope that Ayer kept specially and opened it himself, and took out the sample issue, the acceptance certificate and the accompanying manuscript remuneration to have a look.

"Put it away, it's still worth collecting."

After dealing with this matter, Roland went upstairs, but as soon as he entered the study, he heard Taling's reminder sound.

It's the teacher's reply.

"Roland, I have already heard about your application for promotion to a senior lecturer..."

A few days ago, after Roland and Senior Sister Froya had finished talking about this matter, they reported it to the teacher.

As a result, the teacher was busy with Nieves, and he didn't reply until now.

But Roland looked down, but frowned again.

"The committee agrees to advance selection in principle, but the editorial board of "Rune" is related to the foundation of the discipline. It is one of the seven journals among the first-class journals, and it must be recommended by a sufficient number of archmages.

Moreover, it must be a working first-line archmage..."

The Rune School is a school that emerged in the Humanistic Era. It has long since lost its glory in the past, but because it is the foundation of magic, there are still many factions and mountains.

This has led, in part, to the concentration of talent at the High Mage and Archmage levels in the School of Autodox.

Roland counted and calculated, and the only recommendations he could guarantee were Orvisto and Lunifuss.

There is still one or two important archmages missing!

"Then what should we do?"

Roland was in trouble.

Orvisto said: "The Archmage of the Catria School, the Archmage Marcin and I have some friendship, and they are essentially an alliance against the Autodox School. I should agree, and I will try to fight for you. one time."

Roland said: "Then there will be Teacher Lao."

He really didn't have any friendship in this regard, so it's not good to say this rashly.

After finishing the communication, Roland read the book for a while, and continued to delve into new things.

Thanks to the "dream technique" and divine power, after raising his magic power level, he continued to use this spell to try to improve his learning efficiency, and now he is pondering the usage of a Siris idiom with magical meaning - "remembering with a photographic memory"!
By making a wish: "I hope, my photographic memory will never forget!"

Achieve the buffs of "fast reading" and "strong memory".

This is essentially inspired by the 0-level spell "Read Magic" and the "Read Law" that obtains divine protection.

In addition, the promotion effect of "Dream Art" has been confirmed.

Naturally, Roland also thought of using it to do more things.

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not cut wood by mistake. If such a buff spell is developed, even if the wish is distorted and only has a temporary effect, it can help him quickly learn more 0-3 level spells.

He now has a fourth-level magic power level, and learning 0-3 level spells later will be a piece of cake.

……

Time passed quickly and another period of time passed, and before I knew it, it was November.

On the 5th, Roland took the time to go to the city of Loon to obtain the certificates of Level 2 "Transfiguration", "Invisibility" and Level 3 "Blink".

The first few are his achievements in the past few months. As expected, it seems to be a matter of course. It is only a matter of time before he masters more level 3 spells.

As for meeting Pano, it has been planned for a long time, but it has never been put into action.

It wasn't until today that I finally found time.

Pano is a typical middle-aged arcane researcher, with a big, bald Mediterranean head and unkempt appearance.

He met Roland in the laboratory where he was staying. As soon as he met, he tightly held the hands of the young arcanist, feeling a little overwhelmed with excitement.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

After quite a while, Pano finally came to his senses and said to Roland sincerely.

"Mr. Pano is serious. At that time, when you encountered such a thing, whoever it was would be willing to help." Roland said with a smile, "How is it, have you gotten used to it recently?"

"Except for the lack of adaptation to the climate, the other environments are better." Pano said, "To be honest, in the past at the Legion Research Institute, everything was obeying the arrangement, accepting tasks and acting, which took up too much time and energy. There are many, and there is also a lack of motivation for independent research and continuous learning.

When I get here, I have time to read, rest, and spend time with my family.

This seems a little lazy, but it can inspire me more inspiration! "

"People can't work 24 hours a day, so 8 hours a day is enough."

Roland looked at the other party's iconic big bald head, and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Having said that, can level 9 "wish" solve the problem of baldness among arcanists?
This is a subject worth studying.

Next, Roland visited Pano's laboratory and learned about the project of the new spell "Maxima".

This is a derivative technology derived from the first-level conjuration spell "Mount Art". It is essentially a magical horse, summoning the soul of the mount from a different plane to drive it away.

This famous spell once became the decisive force in many classic battles in a certain era of the magic empire, and it was a very powerful supplement to the regular legion.

Its advanced spell is the 3rd level "Phantom Horse", which is a true magical creature form.

However, between the level 1 "Mount Art" and the level 3 "Phantom Horse", there is still a lack of an easy-to-use level 2 spell. Pano and others imagined to use this demand as a starting point to invent and create practical spells.
