Arcane Linguist

Chapter 175 The Relationship Between Language and Belief, Spreading Language Is Spreading Faith!

"Teacher, I think you should probably read these articles."

After recovering, several students of the Catria School said to Archmage Marcin.

Archmage Marcin was a little strange, but he still took the newspaper prepared by his students and read it.

After a while, he raised his head and asked with some doubts, "It's already been discussed outside?"

"It should be someone who took advantage of your remarks and pointed the finger at Mr. Roland."

Archmage Marcin immediately realized what had happened, and immediately showed embarrassment.

"Blame me, I was so excited that I didn't close my mouth."

As an archmage, every word and deed may affect many people.

This has been learned deeply.

Archmage Marcin did not expect that he was just expressing his joy and excitement at seeing the way ahead, but was actually taken advantage of by someone with a heart.

"Otherwise, I'll clarify in the newspaper?
It's not very good either. I haven't figured out this matter in the first place. If I say it doesn't have divine aura, but then it has it again, wouldn't it take a lot of trouble?
Please help me to invite Roland and his teacher, His Excellency Orvisto, to have a face-to-face communication. "

Archmage Marcin thought for a while and made a decision.

……

Roland soon learned of the invitation of Archmage Marcin, and he happily went to the appointment.

At the end of the month, when the public opinion on the magic net was raging and discussing the true level of the Siris rune, Roland had already come to the east side of the city with his teacher, and met with Archmage Marcin in a private villa inside.

This is a Rune School senior who is nearly seventy years old and a few years older than Orvisto.

But like Orvisto, he is also physically strong and energetic, and still looks energetic.

"Your Excellency Marcin, I have long admired your name."

Roland bowed humbly to the senior of the rune school, paying high respects.

"Roland, I have also admired your name for a long time. Now that I see you, you really are young and promising."

Archmage Marcin laughed, turned his head enviously, and said to Orvisto on the side: "Your Excellency Orvisto, sometimes I am really jealous of your luck. Roland, there is a lot of room for your school to maintain or develop, and it will be considered a worry-free future."

Orvisto smiled: "Guita is the real one full of talents, and the fortune is also good."

"I will accept the previous reputation, but what about the word luck?" Marcin asked.

Orvisto said: "The archaeological direction of the Rune School has been silent for a long time, but in recent years, with the changes in the current situation of the various worlds, many relics have appeared, coupled with a series of cultures guided by policy changes. The project is about to start, and new development opportunities will inevitably be ushered in.”

What he said was a change similar to that of the Reiner Kingdom.

Not only the Kingdom of Leiner, but all aspects and worlds are undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Maybe one day, a certain different world will be fully opened, and the ruins of the lost civilization will appear, which will be a gluttonous feast.

The academic feature of the Catria School is archaeology, which can draw a lot of rich information from historical sources.

This is one of the few schools that can eat and drink enough to survive in the era of "the feast is over", and does not need Roland to produce food.

Another reason is that Alteraine is preparing to dismantle the Kingdom of Leiner. Such a plan requires some experts who are good at historical linguistics to promote it.

This is the power possessed by the liberal arts. If you learn politics, economy, history, philosophy, etc., you will have the power to prosper or disintegrate a country.

Orvisto's words faintly revealed some future directions, and Roland listened to it, and his heart moved slightly.

"Hahahaha, I'm already old, and you, Orvisto, are also old, so what does this have to do with us?"

Archmage Marcin laughed meaningfully.

……

The two sides chatted happily in the villa, during which Marcin expressed apologies to Roland.

As an archmage, he should indeed be cautious in his words and deeds so as not to cause such trouble.

Roland quickly said: "It's also my fault for not being rigorous, and posting all my personal photos."

After hearing this, Orvisto covered his forehead beside him.

Several elites of the Catria School who followed Archmage Marcin could not help but smile bitterly to themselves.

In this matter, one or two people really cannot be blamed.

It has to be an unintentional cooperation, and it will happen when they collide.

Only Archmage Marcin expressed his appreciation: "It's not your fault. If I had written such a good article, I would have to show off."

Well, it's also an Art Rhine conspicuous bag.

After explaining the misunderstanding, Marcin asked Roland: "What are you going to do now, do you need me to clarify?"

Roland thought for a while, and said, "In fact, in the past few days, I have been thinking about the divine aura that your Excellency mentioned..."

Marcin said: "I'm not mistaken, when you created those runes, you indeed aroused the vision between heaven and earth.

However, it is also possible that it is only a vision that appears at the time of birth, and it is a special resonance frequency.

I haven't found a suitable resonance point so far, so there is no way to reproduce it. "

Roland mentioned the allusion of Cangjie's creation of characters in "The Romance of Seris".

Many mages in this world think that it is a phenomenon of mana resonance.

The magic rune itself contains the power of this resonance.

But it is not easy to reach the level of Cangjie, one must truly understand and absorb the meaning of Sailis language itself.

Roland agreed: "I also feel the same, but compared to the resonance of the rune itself, I am more inclined to resonate with this power myself."

"Oh? You mean, the resonance you can arouse, I can't, because I haven't really understood and accepted the mystery of the Siris rune?"

"Yes, there may be the inspiration of the legendary destiny in it. The Siris school in this world was born because of me, so the road to godhood must also be opened by me!
Rather than saying that I created these runes, it is better to say that with my efforts, this world, and even the universe on this side, recognized this rune!

To describe it in the way of our Siris school... the article is born naturally, and it is a skill that comes by chance! "

Roland vaguely pointed out the nature of his invention of the Siris rune.

"Articles are made naturally, can you get them by chance?"

Orvisto and Marcin were lost in thought at the same time.

Several school members who followed were even more shocked.

Immediately, they all praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"As for the existence of divine light."

Roland said lightly.

"I will prove it to everyone!"

……

Before parting, Orvisto said: "Actually, it is not necessary to prove the existence of these things."

Roland said: "I know that the system of Arterine determines that arcane papers have their own review process, even if some public opinion is caused by the mistakes of the archmage, it will not affect its publication and achievement.

However, the value of this paper is not only my personal achievement, but also the foundation of the whole school.

What I have to do is to tell the story of Siris well and win people's trust.

As a result, every prospect and prospect it has will be a huge benefit.

Besides, I was very curious myself, trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

It may really be the key to opening the road to godhood. "

He had discussed with Orvisto before that the members of the Seris School were essentially spiritual Serisians.

The essence of Seresism is a kind of spirit, a kind of civilization.

The essence of human civilization and social power is based on the imaginary spiritual community.

Why do you trust yourself and support yourself?Why did I write "The Romance of Siris" again?
Isn't it because he has created a spiritual community?
It is very necessary to sort out the relationship between the Siris rune and this spiritual community.

After returning, Roland began to summarize the clues he had explored from several aspects. Combined with the reminder of Archmage Marcin, he did find that these runes contained some special power.

There are two possible sources of this power.

The first possibility is naturally derived from Tinyara.

This great being who has become a world tree has the power to create a dream world, which is similar to the spiritual community Roland wants to create.

The second possibility is that his spiritual power resonates with the mana of this universe.

This also means that it belongs to one's own divine power.

But he is just a mortal thing, and it is impossible to inspire divine light for no reason.

It comes from only one place, and that is the faith of believers.

Many existences that have become gods rely on the beliefs of hundreds of millions of sentient beings to build their own kingdoms of God.

This is also a spiritual community based on imagination.

Because of faith, he became a god.

"If it's really the second type, that's terrible.

It means that I, who invented this rune, already possessed divinity in a certain sense.

The power of those Siris runes actually comes from the beliefs of the members of the school!

This is easy to understand in linguistics. The vitality of language is largely reflected in the number of users and the knowledge and information it carries.

In a sense, language is belief, and spreading language is spreading belief!

Their patterns of influence are the same. "

Roland is not ignorant of such things as divine power and divinity.

He even possessed the Godhead Fragment from Tinyara in his hand, and he had also experienced the special power of "Ceres Power Word - Fa".

Therefore, he began to design experiments, trying to combine the Siris rune with the divine power, to find the divinity contained in it.

In that way, the relationship between belief and writing can be verified, and the existence of "language belief" can be fully demonstrated.

……

In April, Roland once again accumulated the divine power in the fragments of the godhead, and then conducted several sets of controlled experiments step by step.

Progress is not ideal.

Because the level of power involved was too high, he couldn't perfectly discern the nuances within a short period of time.

"I need more high-end taboo knowledge..."

In many worlds, the mighty power of the gods is already the ultimate taboo knowledge.

They are difficult to obtain.

Roland had to be thankful that he traveled to a good place.

Alteraine is a high-magic civilization. Apart from the popularity of magic, high-magic civilization has another important feature, that is, the upper limit is very high.

There must be legendary mages, and there are more than one.

There must be some research on becoming a god, and even defeated the gods and confiscated the kingdom of God.

This is unimaginable for the low magic world and the middle magic world.

Therefore, it is sad for a genius to be born in such a world. He will most likely be limited by himself and stop at a low or middle level.

What Roland had to do was to go to the administrative center of the Art Rhine Mage Tower and apply for a library card of the highest level library in the country.

……

Soon after, Roland strolled in the clean and bright space, as if traveling through a tunnel of time and space.

What appeared above his head was a huge dome like the deep space of the universe, filled with abundant mana, and magic runes floating in it with free aura, revolving like billions of stars.

This is the place where all kinds of legends, gods and other related materials are most complete in the territory of Alter Rhine, the large library "Palace of Wisdom".

Roland has not been here in the days since he came to Nieves City, because he has already accumulated the basic knowledge he needs, and he does not need the taboo or rare special knowledge for the time being.

The private collection owned by the teacher is enough for him to study for a lifetime.

He himself is ordering various books from the bookstore here.

The freedom of wealth and the abundance of living space gave him enough material conditions to build his own private reading room.

But what he wants to check now cannot be bought in ordinary bookstores.

The high-magic civilization is not yet arrogant enough to spread this kind of knowledge to the point where it can be circulated casually.

"Shu Ling, search for these for me..."

In the VIP reading room on one side of the hall, Roland entered the carefully organized reminder words into the magic net, and instantly passed them to the book spirit in charge of the "Palace of Wisdom".

Many stars are shining brightly in the sky, and all the search results that meet the criteria are arranged according to their relevance.

Roland put his mental power into another star, which contained a brilliance like an electronic cloud.

"Bei Yewen...not..."

"Beast...not..."

"Dragon Claw...not..."

"Carapace inscriptions...the carrier of inscriptions is somewhat similar to oracle bone inscriptions, but the specific content is still far behind!"

All kinds of texts and divinity-related cases, experimental records, and legends are presented.

Suddenly, a record caught his attention.

"Divine Emblem..."

Gods have god names, and also have their own incarnations and emblems.

Only in this way can it be known by the world, thus anchoring spiritual beliefs.

To a large extent, the stories of the gods need to be recorded in words.

Those that stop at word of mouth or certain rituals are primitive religions.

The power of communication is far less than that of things with written records.

In order to facilitate identification, gods often choose a special emblem as their own symbol, such as thorns, scythe, cross, sun, lightning, iron felt and hammer...

Roland quickly found the corresponding book, and while copying the relevant knowledge points from it, he began to think.

This is a typical item that can stimulate the aura of divinity. People believe that it can entrust the power of the gods and attract the eyes of the gods.

In a sense, it is a "kettle".

Believers usually wear or engrave the emblems of the gods they believe in as a bridge of communication.

They believe that these patterns or symbols with a specific format have a strong pointing effect.

"Isn't it a coincidence that this divine emblem is exactly the same as the 'symbol-coding' system in linguistics!"

After all, it involves things such as human thinking and consciousness, and the underlying operating principles are exactly the same.

It once again verified Roland's previous guess that the relationship between language and belief is indeed the case.

"Now that I think about it, tattoos and totems are also based on this principle.

In the previous life of Blue Star, there were also some foreigners who didn't know it, and regarded Chinese as a word with mysterious power, and even engraved it on their bodies as tattoos.

But it is not known whether such words can display the divine radiance. "

……

While Roland was busy with this matter, the public opinion outside continued to ferment.

Different from the past, now Roland has accumulated a group of solid supporters, and there are also prestigious high-level mages in the school.

It was inconvenient for Orvisto and Lunifus to come forward, but Marcin, who was the person involved, unceremoniously criticized the sunspots in the "Arcane Review", accusing them of causing trouble for nothing.

Fellow student Swain, calligraphy lover Lei, and high-ranking mages under the name of Archmage Marcin also quoted scriptures to maintain the name of Seres.

These are their spontaneous help without even needing to organize debates and fight back.

After all, for the Autododox School, making trouble on such matters is nothing more than a means of harassment.

On April 4th, in the editorial department of "Arcane", the hearing for the final review stage was held.

In a glorious hall full of complicated magic runes, like a hall of gods, many high-ranking mages filed in and sat down in the auditorium, preparing to witness the final trial.

Swain, Leu and others are among them.

Still the Grand Arcanist, His Excellency Antonia, the legendary mage, chaired the meeting.

This gray-haired, thick-bearded old man is the representative of the Legendary Council of Mage left in the world, and is also the current chairman of the Council of Archmage.

Most of the achievements related to "Arcane" and the affairs involving high-level mages will be handled by him.

Although he is a highly respected old man in the world, among the legendary mages, he is just a newcomer.

The seniors traveled in the star sea and explored the various planes, while Xiaomeng, the old and new, stayed to guard the house and do chores. This is the practice of Arterine.

"Everyone, let's review this paper, "Construction of the Siris Rune System"...

Everyone should have understood the relevant content and the editorial department's initial review and review opinions, and the current status is unanimously approved.

If you have objections, please state them. "

Marcin, Pandara, Holmes and the others all remained silent, and the jury also had no opinion.

"It seems that there are no objections. Well, let's start voting."

Antonia announced immediately.

In the eyes of everyone, the members of the committee and the jury of the adjudication court voted on this.

As one after another of the secret imprints rose up into the night sky like stars, and the bright imprints like enlightened stars exuded a faint light, the unique logo of the "Arcane" periodical appeared.

That is the pattern of crossed staffs on the blue book, which symbolizes the power of knowledge.

"This court announces that publication is permitted!"

Antonia struck the gavel.

Soon, the news spread to all parties.

The high-ranking mages who had been waiting for a long time, and the non-rotating mages who had not been able to read the text of the thesis before, showed their skills and got the unpublished thesis.

At this time, Roland's "Construction of the Seris Rune System" has been legally allowed to be published, but it has not yet been delivered for printing.

All kinds of biography and discussions are no longer subject to the scope of inside sources.

Therefore, discussions everywhere immediately increased tenfold.

Many people couldn't wait to use it to verify it, trying to construct a rune model with magic and introduce it into various spell structures.

The result is natural, without divine aura.

But at this moment, Roland, who was doing the experiment, seemed to sense something, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up.

"finally, I understand!"

In his induction, there seemed to be an infinite murmuring sound coming from the void.

One after another, mysterious powers poured in like believers praying, and gradually condensed into the runes around him.

He is now using his magic power to condense the "Heaven", "Earth", "Xuan", "Yellow", "Yu", "Zhou", "Hong", "Desolation" and "Falling" and "Zhou" in the laboratory. Light" ten runes.

They are like goblins, one after another circling around their body, inexplicably a faint golden glow emerges.

Although it was only for a moment, like an electric current rushing through an incandescent lamp with a burnt out starter, and soon fell silent, he still felt the strange glow that lit up in the dark night.

It dawned on him immediately.

That is insufficient power of faith, not enough to manifest miracles!
"There is no problem with the deduction of the theory, everything is just that the thesis has not yet been published, and there is still a lack of quantitative accumulation!

The divine aura of the Siris rune does exist, and it will be revealed on the 5th of the next month. "

Roland announced this prophetic conclusion to the public.

"The 5th of next month, isn't that the release date of "Arcane"?"

"I see, what he means is that it will be more widely known on that day!"

"Current attention and discussions are only concentrated on Nieves's side. Well-informed people can easily grasp first-hand materials and copy them, but the dissemination is still not as strong as the official publication of journals."

"Is this a trait similar to gods and believers? Are the Celeste runes really god-level characters?"

"This is not arcane at all! Elven characters and dragon characters are also super-magic characters, and their performance in their respective domains is not inferior to that of Siris runes, but they do not have this characteristic of resonating with the power of faith... "

"Why?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

　The previous chapter was blocked, and the application for lifting the ban was rejected. Everyone will read the new chapter first, and then go back and read it after it is lifted.Brain pain...
