Arcane Linguist

Chapter 176 All eyes are on, light up the divine aura!
"Sir, that's what the newspaper said today.

That's exactly what Roland said, and we have specifically verified it. "

In the mansion of the Catria School, the private villa where the Archmage Marcin resides, several members of the school gathered to exchange news about the arcane world that has been paying attention to recently.

It was already the second day at this time, and Roland's prophetic announcement, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, triggered a wider discussion.

"What he was referring to should be that the Siris rune has the ability to absorb faith, and it can respond to the resonance of many people who use it like a god."

The hale and hearty Marcin put down the newspaper in his hand, laughed a few times, and revealed the key point.

"In your mind, what is God?"

The mages have done research on such issues for a long time, and several students said without hesitation: "In the narrow sense, a god refers to a certain kind of powerful creature that can directly manipulate the authority of laws and change reality.

In a broad sense, God refers to the nature of the world, the law itself.

The true God is inconceivable and inconceivable, and is only known to people in the incarnation of the sage. "

Master Marcin said: "This is the difference between religious gods and philosophical gods.

From a religious point of view, gods can be divided into natural gods and personal gods.

From the heaven, earth, sun, moon, wind, fire, thunder and lightning worshiped by primitive people, to the various mysteries of the human body, to the various spiritual symbols of personification after the humanistic era, they are all concepts that we are familiar with.

But don't forget that in this world, besides the priests of the major gods, there are druids and rangers who can use divine arts.

They may not necessarily need to pray to the gods, but they can obtain divine magic, which is the natural power of heaven and earth. "

Several students nodded secretly. From their understanding, it was indeed the case.

"In addition to druids, rangers, and paladins... paladins may not necessarily need to believe in specific gods.

The priest's spellcasting ability is given by the gods, the druid and ranger's spellcasting ability is from the sacred power of nature, and the paladin's spell is from the holy power of goodness and order. (Note: This setting is from the dnd3R version rulebook)
I feel that what Roland meant is that the Siris rune is similar to the nature that druids believe in or the courage and faith that paladins believe in.

This is the spirit of Seres, the doctrine of Seres, and it is the modern doctrine of justification by faith. "

The knowledgeable Archmage Marcin made it clear.

……

There are not a few people who feel the same way as Archmage Marcin, and the mages of Alteraine scrambled to discuss, all pointing their finger at the divine characteristics shown by the Siris rune.

Some people began to accept the prophecy made by Roland, and they were all looking forward to the repercussions caused by the public release of this rune on the 5th of next month.

At that time, the potential displayed by the Siris School will reach an unprecedented height.

However, not everyone is optimistic and looking forward to it.

The people headed by the Autodochs school are firm: "Strongly oppose this unnecessary advocacy!"

"It's nothing more than creating a magic rune. Such an achievement is not uncommon in the Rune School. How can it be preached around before it comes out, and I'm not afraid that it will end when the time comes!"

"There is no complete set of runes in this world. Even if the characters of dragon and elves show super-magic characteristics as a whole, they can't do this at all. How can the runes of Seris do it?"

They were the ones who were advocating before, and they are the ones who are suppressing now.

The main thing is a Siris inconclusive.

This is actually because Oxea and the others panicked, fearing that their previous actions would be self-defeating, and instead become the driving force for the growth of Roland and the Siris School.

No. 10 Xiangsheer, in the residence, Roland was dressed in casual clothes, lying idly on the beanbag sofa, the girl with rabbit ears on the left, and the girl with dog ears on the right, each knelt on the ground and rubbed him.

As for Fox Erniang, she read the newspaper for him as always, focusing on mentioning a few related comments.

In response, Roland just smiled lightly.

He came from the information age, what scene has he not seen?
Sometimes crashing, sometimes threatening, see a lot.

Roland had expected this for a long time, and had also analyzed why the Siris language can have super-magic resonance efficiency, and how it can in turn surpass the dragon and elf languages ​​that this world itself has.

The answer lies in civilization itself.

"The degree of civilization does not depend on the mighty power of an extraordinary individual, it must be evaluated across the long river of history and extended to the past and future.

The giant dragon in the wizarding world is supreme. From time to time, it will rule some weak creatures as its own vassals, but most of the time it hides in its lair and sleeps, its habits are similar to those of wild beasts that have not yet escaped ignorance.

The elves admire nature and often live in mountains and forests. Although they have unearthed high magic technologies such as moon wells and sun wells, they are still constrained by the settlement form of villages and have been living a pastoral life in a small country with few people.

There is a high probability that these two races will not give birth to a hundred schools of thought, as well as characters like Qin Shihuang.

And Seris is essentially a civilization disguised as a country, and its development is the development of civilization.

This itself is a form that tends to gather the power of the crowd and resonate.

Therefore, writing and language, which are symbols of civilization, also exhibit the same characteristics. "

What this logic reflects is the characteristic of civilization itself.

But these differences, he is not easy to explain to everyone.

It can only wait for a while, ready to let the Siris rune verify it by itself.

……

Time passes day by day.

Due to the turmoil of public opinion and more discussions, more and more mages began to come into contact with and understand this rune.

Not only the mages of the rune school, but also the witchcraft school, the gnosis school, the magic school, etc., are trying to master it.

In the world of magic, runes are an unnatural language with magical constructs.

It is more like a man-made spell model, but it is not a formed spell, but the elements that make up a spell.

It is roughly equivalent to the keywords in programming technology, function...

These things are combined to form a program with complete functions, and that is a spell.

Different languages ​​can mobilize different resources, which is reflected in the richness of magical structures.

Mages often choose a language that is mature and has a good community atmosphere as a major language, which is conducive to learning and growth.

From this point of view, the Siris rune has gradually matured, meeting the conditions for people outside the rune school to understand and learn.

After all, the ancient characters of the oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, and seal characters, as well as the various magical techniques and applications derived from them, have gradually begun to enrich.

Leaving aside the distant ones, the Power Word of Siris alone, as well as the scroll printing technique optimized and improved by Skold, Tebow and others recently, as well as Buno's new-type arcane imprint, are already enough to support a system.

Even if it's just to learn one or two categories, without considering others, it's worth the time and effort of middle and low-level mages.

As for high-level mages, and even archmages, what they value is the upper limit shown by the Siris rune.

They are more concerned about the rumors that have been circulated before.

As a high-magic language, whether Siris can support a complete magic system, and whether the highest level of this system can reach the realm of legend, and even make people embark on the road to godhood.

This is also the reason why the Archmage Marcin mentioned the appearance of divine aura before, which immediately caused a sensation.

In the Arcane Committee, too many people are staring at these new inventions and achievements.

Those who have reached the age of five or sixty, and their mage level and reputation status have reached their personal peak, apart from going further, they really don't have much other pursuits.

At this time, Roland himself couldn't care so much.

He let the outside world continue to hustle and bustle, everyone praises and criticizes, everything is like a breeze blowing on his face.

What he did during this month was to further deepen his understanding of things such as divine power and divinity, and then continue to wait for the accumulation of Tinyala's godhead fragments in his hand.

Before the arrival of May, I saved another sum.

In the dream world, a huge tree with a height of several hundred meters supports the small world. Inside, there are mountains, rocks, vegetation and fairies playing in the forest. It has completely regarded it as a home.

Roland was just under the big tree, sitting down like a Buddha enlightened.

He stretched out his hand, a game that has 15 types of oracle bone characters, 22 types of gold characters, 1 seal character from "Shu Wen Jie Zi", and 28 types of other characters from "Liu Shu Tong". The word "Light" in the Reese rune appeared.

It just quietly floated a few inches above Roland's palm, and the lines formed by the condensed magic power were graceful and smooth, outlining the words like a masterpiece of calligraphy.

Different from ordinary text, it changes quietly there, presenting a dynamic effect of self-evolving.

After being mixed with magic power, it can even resonate with mana, faintly exuding the aura of magic.

Roland took a closer look at the power contained in it, and suddenly, he caught it with his palm.

The power that made up this rune was instantly annihilated.

But at the same time, a few wisps of awns faintly appeared in the void, showing a golden color.

It was a spot of light smaller than a pearl of rice, like a broken sesame residue.

When Roland spread his palms again, what appeared was no longer the magical power transformed from the spirit of ordinary mortals, but the radiance extracted from the divinity.

Roland is like a miner panning for gold, collecting the divine aura extracted from it.

To be precise, this can't be called a divine aura in the true sense, at best it's just a spiritual product with a hint of divinity.

This difference is like gold dust and pure gold.

However, Roland still carefully preserved this power.

Because he already had a hunch that this kind of thing would be of great use.

"After I have been promoted to the fourth level of magic power, it is impossible to use the "dream technique" to continue to improve.

Because Tinyara's godhead fragments are there, the upper limit of divine power that can be accumulated is countless.

And my own spirit and magical power are not enough to meet the requirements of the fourth-order peak, enough to seek a breakthrough.

It is inevitable to seek the help of some special medicines or materials.

Well now, the Siris rune also shows a hint of divinity. It seems that it is possible to collect the power of faith and refine divine power.

Perhaps by virtue of the resonance of the first successful response, this bottleneck can be broken through in one fell swoop. "

That's right, he was preparing for the ceremony of promotion to the fifth rank.

To be more precise, this ritual related to the "Dream Art" has been verified to be effective before.

What is lacking now is nothing more than the divine power needed to promote this ritual.

In the realm of the gods, the power generated by the accumulated spiritual resonance of the divine light can ignite the divine fire and transform the divine power.

At the highest stage, it can even solidify into a godhead.

That requires believers with sufficient quantity and quality to provide energy.

The characteristics shown by the Cyris runes are basically shallow believers, and the spiritual beliefs that can be provided are extremely limited.

However, as an important thing of civilization, the biggest feature of writing is that it is widely spread and used in many occasions.

In a country, even if the literacy rate is only 10%, the accumulated use of words is not small, completely surpassing religious activities.

Different kinds of scripts and dialects correspond to different sects.

There may be some accumulation of faith resonance here.

But on the whole, it is very easy to meet the conditions required for promotion.

Qin Shihuang unified the world and abolished the writing of the six countries, which has achieved integration in the field of writing.

……

The continuous collection and research made Roland's reserves more and more abundant, and his understanding of this power and his plan became more and more profound.

He made a few deduction, and he felt that it was huge.

During this period, he did not completely conceal his intentions, but discussed with his teacher and Archmage Marcin who had just recently "did not know each other".

These two are experienced seniors, and they greatly appreciated Roland's pioneering work.

They are naturally interested in this kind of subject, and they are willing to give Roland a lot of help with their own materials and experience.

"If this method is really feasible, we all have to study the "Dream Art" and the Siris rune..."

"Divine power can change reality and create miracles, so it is very useful.

Maybe it can really be used to become a legend when combined with the level 9 "Wishing Technique"! "

The two said to Roland.

Master Watson also expressed that the heroes see the same thing.

He had done some research on the 9th level "Prayer" and discussed the issue of "Dream" with Roland.

This kind of spell was originally simplified from the "wish spell", which strengthened the direction of promotion.

If you can put more effort into the use of divine power, it is also possible to be promoted to legend.

However, there are many incompatible parts between the arcane system and the divine system. How to make full use of this kind of thing is still a very new topic.

In this regard, even they have to rely on Roland.

After all, Roland is the founder of the Seris School, and his spirit is connected to the core of Serisism.

Before I knew it, the time came to May.

"Construction of the Rune System of Siris" was successfully published as scheduled.

With the help of Okesia and others, the number of people who knew about this incident increased invisibly.

It would undoubtedly be disappointing if the Cyris rune didn't have that divine radiance, that impressive potential.

But in turn, it is a help.

Make it more widely known and spread more quickly.

Although judging from the final result, Seres can still achieve due results by virtue of its own superiority, but this kind of public opinion attention and promotion in a short period of time is also very valuable.

Oxea faintly felt a bit of regret, why did he always feel that this time he was self-defeating?
"It's out, it's out! The "Arcane" periodical has started to be distributed, and I have already picked up the ones that have arrived here!"

Soon, in the reading room of the guild hall, acquainted members of the school brought in what they were waiting for.

Oxea couldn't wait to open it for a look, but immediately thought of something, and put it down like an electric shock.

"We pay so much attention to it, it can be regarded as a spiritual belief!"

The expression on his face was tangled, full of unspeakable regret.

It is said that gathering sand forms a tower and converging into a river.

Why did I bother myself?
……

On the other side, like in a witch castle wearing a hat, a girl with maroon skin and red-hot hair, full of exotic style, leaned on a chair, her feet dangling, and looked at the latest "Arcane" periodicals.

This girl is Xinia, and there is a lot of public opinion outside, even a trainee mage of her level has heard of it.

"Why does this guy feel more and more powerful?"

Cynthia muttered, bit the bullet and looked carefully, trying to understand the mysteries in a book of difficulty and obscurity.

After all, it is an old classmate's arcane achievement, so it's not good if you don't understand it at all.

As a result, all kinds of runes and secret techniques made her forehead bulge and her complexion darken.

"This is simply outrageous. I'm already in my junior year, and I can't understand it?"

I and Roland used to be apprentices who came out of Flandre Academy together!

Fortunately, not all the runes are awkward and difficult to understand. Cynya threw away the journal she just got, and turned to "casting the screen" to check the mail.

There was a small stove that Roland had discussed with her in private.

There is a Siris rune that is being researched and created. She likes it very much, and she also faintly feels that it fits her spiritual beliefs and temperament preferences.

That Siris rune is the word "fire" that has not yet been published!

As a foreigner, when I first see the words of Siris, which one I like and which one I hate, this kind of thing depends on fate.

In the previous life of Blue Star, there was a mysterious legend that the favorite Chinese character of white people in the West was the word "juice".

Because it looks like a glowing cross.

Cynthia likes the word "fire" because it looks very enthusiastic and has a beating vitality.

……

At the same time, another desolate place filled with snowflakes and frozen soil was howling with cold wind. Atalie was just resting and communicating with Roland in the camp where he was stationed.

She hadn't known the situation in the arcane world for a long time, and she didn't know what happened before, but she quickly learned about it under Roland's initiative.

"You didn't receive the papers so quickly over there, even if there were, it was the army mages and legion executives who paid attention to it, and ordinary knights would not understand it.

I have some information here, if you are interested, you can take a look. "

Roland wrote the essence of the word "cutting" in the letter, sent it to her, and introduced the system of the Seris rune.

When Roland created the "dream technique" last year, Atari had already been promoted to an official knight.

At that time, she was about to accept more advanced potion allergy tests and combat missions, seeking new breakthroughs.

This process went smoothly, she broke through her own limit in one leap, and possessed the potential to advance to the fourth level.

However, compared to mages, the power of knights is more focused on the improvement of flesh and blood, and the spiritual energy is pitifully small.

And human beings are a short-lived species whose innate endowment is far inferior to other magical creatures. If you don't work hard on spiritual energy, it is impossible to break through the limit of the species.

This only means that she has reached her limit after just a few years of training and transformation with potions, and she will never make further progress in her life.

This is a profession with limited potential. If you want to go further, you must rely on the power of magic to become a magic knight.

Paladin is a good choice, provided that you find your own faith.

However, Atari's attention did not stop at the word "cutting" recommended by Roland. This kind of warfare and killing is not the way of chivalry she is looking for.

She turned her attention to the word "light" with a thoughtful expression.

……

Orvisto Mage Tower, Yisel Mage Tower, "Rune" editorial department, etc. everywhere.

More and more people have also seen the newly published papers and learned about the first batch of newly created Siris runes such as "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang".

"It turns out that the Siris rune looks like this. What it is good at is the power of mantras and prayers. If you master it to the extreme, you can say what you say?"

Roland has always been committed to telling the story of Siris, and this Siris rune is also one of the stories of Siris.

It empowers the mages of this world with the power of magical mantras.

The previous runes such as "fix", "shock", and "retire" have already proved this point.

But that kind of thing is achieved by the power of mantra after all, and more emphasis is placed on the power of rhyme and syllables.

From the point of view of the spell composition of magic, it is not yet complete.

But it's good now, finally there is a way to complete it from the level of runes.

"Roland has announced on the school's official website that the second batch of transformations will be these characters that already have magical results.

Including the runes used in spells such as the "Light Art" of the oracle bone culture..."

This is not an announcement that exceeds expectations, and everyone is full of confidence and longing for it.

……

In the dark, thousands of visions floated up like fluorescent lights in the darkness, shuttled through the sea of ​​void, and gathered in Roland's spiritual world in an instant.

In the dream, under the huge world tree, he stretched out his hand and watched the runes of Siris rising from his side, like stars flying backwards, holding the throne high, and rising into the sky.

One after another pale golden brilliance flowed, shining with a dazzling aura.

That's... divine radiance!
