Chapter 178 The nomination of Arcane Star, the youngest nominee in history

In the small room on the top floor of the Art Rhine Mage Tower, Marcin, Orvisto, Watson, Pandara, Holmes and other rune school mages were summoned to consult important matters.

At this time, the role played by the archmages is not only members of the Arcane Committee, but also authoritative experts in their respective fields.

They represent the entire School of Runes at this time.

The legendary mage Antonia presided over this internal meeting as the speaker on duty and asked them a crucial question.

That is, should Roland be given the honor of being nominated as an Arcane Star?

"Arcane star? Speaking of which, Roland is only in his early 20s this year."

"To be exact, 21 soon...but still a little too young."

"Yeah, with his current arcane achievements and school roots, he is completely worthy of such an honor. The only problem is that he is too young!"

Several archmages couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This actually implies something that is inconvenient to explain clearly, that is, as a short-lived species, human beings often gather and live in groups in the form of society, and jointly manage various resources and wealth status.

The selection of Arcane Star involves the status of alternate members and even full members.

Being too young means not having enough qualifications and not having enough time to experience various things to prove himself. How can people believe that he can take up that responsibility?

Antonia said: "With the development potential shown by Roland now, maybe he will be able to successfully obtain the Arcane Star in a few years, and then quickly enter the Arcane Committee and take charge of the national power of Arterine.

At that time, the scepter in his hand may become a sharp weapon to hurt himself or others.

That is not comparable to tossing one or two small schools or managing a fund of [-] billion gold coins. At that time, what he will have to bear will be more and heavier things. "

Orvisto pondered for a while, and said: "Unless he shows the ability to bear the fame, otherwise, he should consider it carefully."

Both Marcin and Archmage Watson nodded slightly.

This kind of thing is only suitable for him to say.

After all, Orvisto is Roland's teacher and the person responsible for teaching and guiding.

"However, social relationships determined by age are often related to production and labor.

As a short-lived species, we human beings have infancy and childhood when we cannot take care of ourselves for many years, and even participate in production and labor.

To a large extent, this untrusted status is determined by the ability to produce labor.

If a child shows the labor ability of an adult and the ability to deal with corresponding social relationships, then he can often be treated as an adult.

What we want to praise now is Roland's arcane achievements. If we force him not to express anything, it will be unreasonable. "

Another archmage Holmes said.

Antonia said: "Then give the nomination first, but let's overwhelm the Arcane Star. You don't have to enter the scheduling process immediately. Let's see the development of the Siris School clearly."

He finally came up with a compromise solution.

……

Soon, this news was brought to Roland by Orvisto, and before the outside world knew about it, he knew it first.

Roland expressed his understanding of this: "A solitary person is either a beast or a god.

I am neither a beast nor a god, and of course I am subject to the committee's decision. "

The essence of a person is largely determined by social relationships, and age is also a very important part of social relationships.

So he is completely acceptable to this result, and even surprised by the enlightenment of the Arcane Council.

In this world, due to the existence of magical power, individual differences are huge, which is already an exception.

"You have always made me feel at ease. To be honest, you are fully worthy of this nomination now, and you are also qualified to compete with other nominees on the same stage, but I don't want you to spend all your time and energy on this right now. , it is better to continue to explore the mysteries of the Siris rune and make this system mature."

After seeing Roland's reaction, Orvisto said with relief.

"I see."

Roland didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, but when Lunifus, who was far away in Iser, heard about it, she sent a special letter of congratulations and praised him well.

"I had a hunch before that you would be nominated as an Arcane Star soon, but I still didn't expect it to be so smooth!

Now it seems that His Excellency Antonia is preparing to allow you to receive the honor you deserve, and it is very likely that you will officially receive this award when you are close to 30 years old! "

"Why?" Roland was a little puzzled when he learned.

"Because so far, the youngest Arcane Star Award winner in history is the legendary mage Aziz who made great contributions in the early days of arcane reform!

He laid the foundation of modern arcane arts, created the Elemental School of the new era, and won almost all the awards that could be set up for him at that time with the achievements of the "Code of Elements".

But even His Excellency Aziz was already 25 or 30 years old when he became famous, and counting the years when the results were spread, it is a matter of course for him to win the award at the age of [-].

Your experience is even more legendary, almost bringing forward the year of the birth of major achievements eligible for awards by ten years, and everyone will agree that you broke this record.

However, you are indeed still too young to be passed, so waiting for a few more years to mature with your achievements is the best time. "

The selection of the Arcane Star Award is not just a matter of the arcane world, it also needs to comprehensively consider the status of the archmages and the influence of their respective achievements.

The Lord Aziz that Lunifus said is a legendary mage who has stepped out of the star sea. The achievements and honors left by him are not something ordinary people are qualified to break.

Now, Roland has touched his record with even more astonishing achievements, allowing him to be nominated at this age is itself a harbinger of a tendency.

……

"Have you heard, this year's Arcane Star nominations seem to be coming out soon, and the Rune School finally has a new nomination!"

"This school has been silent for a long time, and there have been no newcomers for many years. Even if Roland appeared recently, he is still too young."

"I'm talking about Roland, he is very likely to get this nomination!"

"How is this possible? Considering the age, people of the same age are still apprentices in the tower, and are worrying about getting the title of official mage!"

In early June, from the city of Nieves, some gossip spread.

Many people vaguely learned that Roland was about to be nominated as an Arcane Star, and they couldn't help being shocked.

Only at this time did they suddenly realize that the Siris rune was indeed a star-level achievement in arcane arts.

From the perspective of its composition and future development potential, this is a reasonable thing to do.

Compared with the creation of oracle bone inscriptions in the past, as well as the achievements of magic, runes of this level have much richer connotations.

This has a certain continuity with Roland's winning of the Morning Star Award last time.

As Lunephth said, there are many things that can be traced in this kind of thing.

If Roland can be nominated as an Arcane Star at this age, it will be three to five years sooner or seven or eight years later, and he may actually win the award.

Everyone would never think that the Arcane Committee risked controversy to give such an honor to Roland, who was in his early 20s, just to let him run with him.

It almost means that Roland must be trained as a future high-level executive of Alteraine!

……

"If I remember correctly, Roland just won the title of senior lecturer at the beginning of the year, and he will go further soon."

"Yeah, it's too fast!"

In the Autodox mansion, several members of the school talked about this matter, and they were also sincerely moved.

"According to the usual practice, the person who nominates the Arcane Star is at least a high-level mage above the associate professor, and almost all of them are exceptionally recruited as alternate members.

In addition, there is also the practice of entering the "Arcane" expert group for consultation.

This is also to balance the interests of all parties and to give supporting authority and status. Then, after he is nominated, whether the supporting title and authority should be granted is the most fundamental question. "

"That's right. If it's true, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. If it's not true, it will affect the authority of the Arcane Star Award."

"It's probably difficult for the top management to handle!"

"Roland has the title of the chief authoritative expert of Seres long ago, right? Given the development trend of this school, more papers will be submitted to "Arcane" in the future, and it is only natural for him to check it."

"I think that even archmages are starting to learn Seres now, and the results are beginning to emerge...

At this time, if he is not granted the status of a professor, it will embarrass many people. "

"Speaking of which, it was our teacher who opened the prelude first! His improvement of the "Wishing Technique" directly helped Roland win the morning star award vote! "

Speaking of this matter, the few members of the school who were talking could not help feeling sympathetic.

Even the teachers have already set an example, so what else can they hesitate about?

Immediately, he picked up the dictionary in his hand, and it turned out to be "Shuowen Jiezi".

They also began to openly learn.

……

"Gallo, we failed again, and we still couldn't stop him after all!

This matter seems to be impossible for manpower. So far, he has continued to produce results continuously, without stopping at all. "

At the gate of the mansion, Oxea walked in accompanied by Gallo, quite dejectedly.

Gallo didn't say much, but his frown had already betrayed his thoughts.

He has been really worrying about this matter recently.

"~~~~,~~~~..."

(The heaven and the earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric...)
Suddenly, a voice came into my ears, and the ups and downs of reading aloud came over, and was heard by the two people who were talking.

Good guy, you openly learn Celesian in this gymnasium!

Both Gallo and Oxea were speechless.

"What's the matter with these people, they still read it?"

They looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.

It is a legitimate need for mages to learn the language of magic.

Even if it is a dictatorial tyrant, it is impossible to forcibly stipulate that only a certain magical language can be used to construct its own spell model and cast spells.

This largely depends on individual choices.

"Write down the names of these people, and the funding approval will be halved in the future."

Jia Luo curled his lips, and immediately used his power to give these daring guys a punishment of reducing their expenses, which made him feel a little better.

……

At this moment, on the other side of the city.

In a manor with many buildings covering an area of ​​more than 3 square meters, Roland was invited to come inside and uncovered the silk cloth for the huge emblem hanging in the center of the lobby of the main building.

It was a huge Chinese character "Zhong" in Saili script.

"Shuowen Jiezi": Nei Ye.From the mouth丨, up and down.

The middle, China, the mean, the middle way...

This word has existed since ancient times, and it is also regarded as the representative of Chinese civilization.

Roland spent a lot of money on this manor, and a large sum of money was acquired from the Coulence family. Now, it has been successfully transformed into the Siris Mansion, and it is officially open to the members of the Common Research Association.

It is very suitable to use it as the symbol of the General Assembly Mansion.

The moment they saw this word, everyone applauded and congratulated the opening of the General Assembly Mansion in Nevis City.

This day happened to be June 10026, 6 in the Art Rhine calendar, Roland's 6st birthday.

While everyone was applauding, senior sister Froya, who had spent a lot of time and energy on this, was also genuinely excited.

However, listening to Roland explaining "中" to everyone, and even extending the meaning of the country in the middle, and calling Siris China, she still felt a little regretful.

"In my opinion, 'God' is pretty good..."

"Shuowen Jiezi": God is the one who leads all things.From the show, apply.

Words such as spirit, mystery, magic, gods, talismans, and divine power are all associated with it.

The most important thing is that Senior Sister Froya feels that the recent uproar in the public opinion is related to this keyword.

Based on her aesthetics, aspirations, and concepts... she would rather choose this word as the symbol of the school.

As a result, this plan was mercilessly rejected by Roland.

Roland seldom takes care of the affairs here, and basically delegates all powers to the lower levels.

Froya can only show respect when it is rare for her to intervene.

She quickly cleared up her mood, and when Roland finished speaking, she picked it up just right, and said to everyone: "Everyone, please come in with me to visit.

From now on, this will be the activity center of the school members, please treat it as your own home. "

The legal organizations or commercial institutions of Art Rhine can set up bases in various places to provide various services for their members or customers.

This includes but is not limited to accommodation reception, information consultation, internal transactions, internal teaching and so on.

As a new school of thought, the Salisian Language Joint Research Association naturally includes these.

In this small manor, the main building is the focus of activities divided by the subject content of the Seris school, of which the first floor is the reception and consultation hall, the second floor is the library reading room, the third floor is the reception room, and the fourth floor is the spell training ground .

Roland named the main building Guoxue Building, implying the meaning of inheriting the classics of Guoxue and promoting Chinese culture, but it is not limited to ancient Chinese things.

In this world where magic power prevails, after all, it is still necessary to do as the Romans do, focusing on magical research to obtain those practical and effective arcane results.

The small building on the east side of the main building is the Calligraphy Association, and the small building on the west side of the other side is the Association of Poetry, Songs and Fu that has not yet been developed, but has been planned.

In the inner park, there are staff dormitories and guest houses, while at the front end are gardens, squares, etc.

The two archmages Orvisto and Marcin were also invited to come here to support the scene. After watching it, they nodded secretly.

Such a general meeting is enough to take on the function of holding gatherings for the members of the school and communicating with each other. Overall, it is quite good.

It was the first time for Lei, Bruno, Georg, Dilent and others to visit here, and they were equally satisfied.

They are all working in Nieves City. It seems that there will be another good place to go after get off work or during breaks.

With their current enthusiasm for the Seris School, they are still very happy to devote their time and energy to such an organizational life.

Most of the people here are like-minded, and they are obviously helpful to improve the attainments of the Siris School.

"Senior Froya, you have worked hard during this period of time, and the hired staff should also withdraw a sum of money from the public account of the Joint Research Association to distribute bonuses.

From now on, this place will enter formal operation, and you still need to take care of it. "

Roland had a private discussion with senior sister Froya, and thanked her for her contributions over the past few days.

Of course, everything that involves people and things is not so easy and simple.

Roland himself is not a well-rounded person. It is all thanks to Senior Sister Floa's busy communication with various parties that she managed to manage such a large site and run the mansion of the general association.

Froya waved her hand and said with a smile: "What's so hard about it, I have to thank you for it."

"Thank me for what?" Roland asked.

Froya said seriously: "If you hadn't trusted me and entrusted me with this matter, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet so many elite mages and high-level figures.

Although my arcane career has basically stopped here, my career is just about to begin. "

"This is the reward you deserve." Roland said disapprovingly.

"After experiencing such a thing, I can understand Sofia's choice more and more.

Sometimes, people really shouldn't compete with themselves. It takes some trials to know what kind of life they should live.

If I have been relying on traditional magic all the time, and I am still struggling in the mage tower until now, I have no chance to grow at all. "

Senior sister Froya obviously also has a deep understanding, and said sincerely.

"Speaking of which, you mentioned in "The Romance of Seris" that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty killed the White Snake to revolt, such a small county can gather all the generals and generals needed to rule a huge empire.

At first, I thought this setting was quite unreasonable, how could there be such a coincidence.

But after practicing it myself, I feel that many things are really created by leaders and platforms, and I can do it myself.

Maybe when you go further in the future, I can also follow the tide and become a high-end figure in Arterine! "

When she said this, before Roland could react, she put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly.

Roland's heart moved slightly, and he understood the implication.

With the development of the school, the number of members has increased, various personnel and affairs have become complicated, and the thread has become chaotic...

It is indeed necessary to cultivate and promote some close relatives.

Benta's classmates are natural direct descendants.

The second is people and groups who are really committed to the school and have interests involved, such as Lei, Buno, Pimiller and others.

Then there are the Collens family, the Katona family, and the Hilt consortium.

In the end, there are people and organizations outside the school who come here for fame, or join halfway, and extend to the entire Alteraine, and even the kingdoms and regions of other worlds.

This is a self-centered circle, which is also equivalent to a huge empire.

However, Froya-senpai's thinking has a hint of a hero's view of history, and she forcibly gave herself the mission of a leader.

Roland, on the other hand, has a view of the masses on history, and believes that his achievements need to be achieved with the help of everyone.

Forget it, people's concepts are difficult to correct, let's make each other successful.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.

Roland and Froya went out to have a look, and found that it turned out to be the highest level of the empire. The legendary mage headed by Antonia and several arcane committee members on duty came uninvited.

They were at the front desk, admiring the character "中" with a diameter of more than two meters, their faces full of thoughtful expressions.

"Sir Antonia."

Roland stepped forward, bowed and saluted.

"I really didn't expect that you would choose such a word as the symbol of the Siris School."

Antonia turned her head and said with a somewhat inexplicable meaning on her face.

Roland said with a smile: "Does your Excellency know the magic of the word '中'?"

"I am impartial, and the mean is virtue. I also know a little bit." Antonia said, "You wrote "The Romance of Siris" very well, and there are many wise words in it, which makes me feel that you are a born philosopher. Regardless of all the arcane achievements we have now, there will definitely be great achievements in the future."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

I didn't expect His Excellency Antonia to have such a high opinion of Roland.

This is no ordinary speech.

It is really intriguing!

"By the way, I am here this time, in addition to taking a look at the Seris Language Joint Research Conference, I also want to tell you a piece of good news in person.

After joint research and decision by the Arcane Committee, you are nominated to participate in this year's Arcane Star selection. From now on, you can call yourself a candidate for the Arcane Star, the future Archmage! "

The news was revealed some time ago, Roland pretended not to know, and Antonia also pretended not to know.

It was not officially announced until today.

This also means that this matter has passed the formal voting procedure of the committee and has become a foregone conclusion.

Compared to Roland's calmness, the people around were suddenly shocked.

"The rumor is true!"

"Roland is really nominated!"

When rumors become reality, there is no need to guess and verify the truth.

Everyone was a little worried before that this was just a gossip, but they did not expect His Excellency Antonia to confirm it himself.
