Arcane Linguist

Chapter 17 See if I don't find out your tell!

The clerks present were listening, each thoughtful.

The dispute between the two archmages did not involve personal grievances, but it did involve a recently emerging arcane genre, fictional languages ​​(Fictional Languages).

This is the category of overhead doctrine. In short, it is to jump out of reality and deduce the historical and cultural development process with the fictional and imaginative abilities that human beings are good at. In this way, many researches in the field of humanities are carried out, which of course also includes linguistics. .

The relatively low-end methods include imagination and deduction, while the high-end methods use dreams, virtual reality technology, and large-scale social experiments such as ideal heaven to assist.

Among them, a new type of profession was even born, called overhead scientist.

They are good at creating various fictional works, interpreting the overhead world, and absorbing the wisdom of civilization from it.

Archmage Watson belongs to the conservative faction and follows reality and tradition, so he naturally despises such a faction.

Conservatives emphasize that all languages ​​and characters are developed from real history, and the part that can communicate with and accept the hypotheticalists is just a social experiment such as an ideal heaven.

Most of the fictional scientists are attributed to novel authors and the like, and are not qualified to be on the table of arcane research, and arcane research should not be carried out in places such as virtual reality games or fictional works, the data obtained in that way will be Seriously distorted and lost the guiding significance of reality.

Ultra-conservatives are against even analog computing.

They have no way to deny the role of mathematics, so they find fault with the modeling process and data collection, and criticize the mistakes made by human operation.

As for the fatal flaw pointed out by Master Watson that the oracle bone inscriptions failed to be magical, Lunifus could not refute at all.

After thinking for a while, he said helplessly: "The birth of many magical languages ​​also started from the ordinary way. After all, we humans are not natural magical races like elves or giant dragons...

And I think that this oracle bone inscription is somewhat similar to the stone inscription discovered by archaeologist Uris on Catria Island more than 1000 years ago, but it has richer connotations.

Stone inscriptions have the power to arouse magical resonance, and this kind of oracle bone inscriptions should and can be done. "

In short, the future looks promising.

Master Watson sneered, and said with disdain: "Master Lunifuss, this kind of vague judgment should not appear on this occasion. If I say 'should', then I can also assert that it 'should' do the same." not?"

He didn't believe in any future.

"Master Orvisto, don't you want to express your opinion?"

During the debate, Lunifus suddenly looked at Orvisto and raised her own doubts.

She couldn't argue with Archmage Watson, hoping to get help from Orvisto.

Orvisto evaded, "To tell you the truth, I recognize the author of this article."

"Oh? Is it someone from your mage tower?"

"Good, so I decided not to comment."

He said this not only to avoid suspicion, but also considering that Roland is only a trainee mage now, and his reputation and reputation in the arcane world are not enough to bear the pressure brought by various controversies.

He was still hesitating whether to support Roland's thesis.

Master Watson dissatisfied: "We understand your concerns, but there is no need to be silent because of this."

Lunifuss also said: "Yes, Your Excellency Orvisto, just talk about it."

Ovisto couldn't resist, but gradually made up his mind: "In this case, I agree that it will pass the review and enter the final review process."

"What's the reason?"

Archmage Watson was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. He didn't expect Orvisto to recommend this article even though he was suspected of being partisan.

Orvisto said: "The rules of oracle bone inscriptions are perfect, the system is mature, and the dictionary is detailed, all of which are rare in the arcane world since modern times.

I suggest that Mr. Watson can take a closer look at its advantages, and don't deny it so arbitrarily.

Also, the matter of magic can be done slowly, and it will not affect this publication. "

When Archmage Watson heard the words, he immediately felt that he had been tricked by Orvisto.

His face turned red all of a sudden, he waved his hands like claws, and said angrily: "Then let's pass, but when it comes to the final review process, I still object.

With me here, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of paper to be published publicly! "

Orvisto smiled bitterly, he knew it would be like this.

……

In the next few days, the waiters working in the Arcane Committee discovered a slightly strange thing, that is, Archmage Watson locked himself in the room and did not go out for several days and nights.

In the office, the irritable little old man stared wide-eyed, hummed, and almost stuck his entire face on the printed paper.

That is trying to find its loopholes, so as to severely refute the supporting opinions, and win a big victory in the hearing stage of the final trial!
In fact, he didn't care about Lunephth's objection at all. For such an outdated archmage, being completely suppressed in the debate was nothing to worry about.

Orvisto, who put himself together, is the real rival.

In the end, this seriousness did not matter, but I suddenly realized that I might be too arbitrary and misjudged the value of this paper!

This discovery made Master Watson break out in a cold sweat.

After being dazed for a while, he suddenly came to his senses, jumping up and scratching his hair frantically.

"Damn it! How could this happen?"

The waiter outside the door took a look, then quickly retracted, not daring to answer.

"Huhuhu..."

The irritable little old man was panting, and it took him a long time to finally calm down, but he suddenly jumped up, took out the magnifying glass he carried with him from his pocket, and lay down on the article to carefully study every word.

"It is absolutely impossible to be as good as he said, there must be mistakes, there must be!

Little brat, watch if I don't find out your lies! "

Archmage Watson's level of arcane art is unquestionable. The reason why he didn't like oracle bone inscriptions before, apart from his own conservative position, has already been explained in the review stage.

Historical laws, arcane schools, development trends, magical significance...

There are so many reasons that even Archmage Luneves can't resist.

But this time, there was no argument, no rebuttal.

Just getting serious made myself shaken.

The reason is that the thesis given by Roland is a very mature and systematic research result. In the previous life, Blue Star had spent a lot of hard work of masters.

He could neither deny Roland's own level, nor the masters behind him, nor the Chinese civilization represented by the oracle bone inscriptions.

In short, the three of us are really strong!
Doubts born of prejudice and arbitrariness will only lead to bloodshed in front of these three iron walls.
