Arcane Linguist

Chapter 191 Preparations before school starts, court ball

"You guys are willing to raise funds?" Gallo couldn't help but be astonished.

But Bolas didn't continue to explain to him, just smiled and walked to the other people at the next table.

Gallo and Oxea glanced at each other, and immediately realized that the Cowrens family had already bet on Roland, and as long as his proposition was not obviously wrong, they would support it.

This is definitely not a good thing for the Autodox school.

But they couldn't stop it, and they couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Just wait and see, this kind of thing is easy to say, but in practice, just talking and bucking each other is enough for them!"

Oxea quietly comforts Gallo in private.

"Who doesn't know how to speak beautiful words?
Being able to do it is a skill! "

Gallo nodded. Although his suggestion was a bit smaller in scope, it won't be difficult to implement!
Reflecting Roland, the plan is so grand, so ambitious.

Feasibility is much worse.

After the banquet, the ordinary mages went to rest, but Roland and the others failed to go back immediately, but were arranged to hold a meeting in a nearby building.

"Now I read the official appointment of the Arcane Council.

Master Watson is the Master Tata of East Lainer, and Master Holmes is the Master Tata of Master West Lainer.

His Excellency Bolas continues to serve as chief of the garrison.

The above three persons, serving as the chairman of the Supreme Council of the Reiner Mage Corps, exercise supervisory functions and have a veto power of one vote.

Formal members of the council: Mr. Leon is the ambassador to the Reiner World Embassy, ​​and Mr. Roland is the dean of the Seris Academy..."

This is a common way of republic in mage-system countries, and even the arcane committee has a similar structure with minor differences.

In such a system, the top mages usually have some special powers.

In the homeland of Arterine, the top is the legendary mage, who has a veto power.

In the world of Reiner, three archmages play the roles of legendary mages.

Naturally, high-ranking mages, as well as special appointments like Roland, who are more personal than high-ranking mages, play the role of archmages.

It can be said that it is a replica of the Arcane Committee.

This is also for mages to have the opportunity to practice and know how to use the authority in their hands.

Everyone present couldn't help but feel a little excited, not only because they are newcomers, but also because of the powers they have been given.

For them, being able to perform their duties step by step here is enough to gild their resumes, and if they can make some achievements, it is even more worthy of special mention.

Roland was also in high spirits, planning many things for the development of the school.

……

In the early morning of the next day, everyone set off from the manor and rushed to the Master Tower of Dongleiner.

It was more than 100 kilometers away from the royal capital. A tall white building stood in the original forest, carved like ivory, shining brightly in the sun.

This is one of the two mage towers built by the Leiner Kingdom at a huge cost, the East Leiner Mage Tower.

Its existence has completely surpassed the level of magic that Reiner World possesses. Many materials and manpower are paid for by Reiner World, but they are shipped from the Atreinland and other colonial worlds, and the configuration is not inferior at all. Locally, it even goes too far due to sufficient funds.

It is a 21-storey building with teleportation array, adventurer's hall, commercial street, mage apartment, teaching area, experiment area, training area, snow storage area, library and other facilities, equipped with powerful protection Law circle and security system.

"Especially worth mentioning is the source of magic power!"

When Leon introduced the mage tower to everyone who came to visit, he mentioned this with great pride.

"This is a key node of our magic net system. In the past, it was deployed on battleships, or on the side of the Governor's Palace, to supply the needs of mages who are fighting in other worlds.

But this time, because of the establishment of the Mage Tower, it has been possible to absorb the earth's veins and maintain their operation.

Therefore, the spell quota and spell-casting authority remain the same, and strive to provide everyone with the same service as in China...

You must know that in the past, our mages were inconvenient to cast spells here. They either directly trained themselves in the form of mana casting spells, or widely used alchemy props and magic tools.

Now it can finally be regarded as completely in line with domestic standards, and it has become convenient. "

Roland's heart moved slightly.

The source of magic power, this can be regarded as something similar to divine fire or divinity.

In the spellcasting system of Alteraine, it is very basic and very important.

However, it is also very mysterious.

It is said that the reason why legendary mages are able to cross the star sea and conquer different worlds without being restricted by the magic net is because they control the source of magic power.

The Mage Tower was actually created in imitation of the magical source of the legendary mages.

It has a long-distance communication feature that transcends time and space, and many sources of magic power are connected together, which is the so-called magic net.

The specific method of manufacturing and using it is still an absolute secret. Even the archmages only know a little about it, and Roland has never even heard it mentioned.

Now everyone has no intention of exploring these things. They only know that it really deserves to be a well-developed colonial world.

Many things have been transformed into the shape of Art Rhine.

The next step is to allocate the mage's apartment, office and other places.

Roland was promoted to Master Dean and has his own private residence on the 16th floor of the Mage Tower, and an independent office on the 20th floor.

However, the mage tower has just been completed, and the enrollment and teaching plans have not started so quickly, and it is expected to be next summer at the earliest.

Everyone just visited in advance, and the inside was empty, like a rough house.

At this time, everyone noticed that a small town had also been developed in the forest around the mage tower.

It is reserved for apprentices, handymen, and servants, and it is also convenient for the mages stationed in the tower to take vacations and enjoy the services provided by the local natives.

"We will relocate a large number of people, and strive to transform it into a prosperous city no less than the capital of Reina!"

Leon proudly announced his future plans, regardless of the impact on the series caused by it.

Anyway, it is mainly for the convenience of the mages stationed in the tower.

In the future, even Wangcheng, which is more than a hundred kilometers away, will have to move here!

The nobles of the Kingdom of Lena have realized this a long time ago, and have already begun to build palaces and villas nearby. All of them are construction sites within a radius of more than ten kilometers, and there are bustling construction scenes everywhere.

After the visit, everyone went back, and it was almost evening.

Roland was just about to read some books, but saw Leon coming over and quietly told him a piece of good news.

"Mr. Roland, here are some cheap Leiner mines and noble titles for sale, do you want a fief or not?

By the way, in the fief, there are many vassals and servants, and they can also be packaged and attributed to you..."

Roland was shocked: "Can these things be sold?"

Leon took it for granted: "The world of Leiner has been in chaos for so long, and some nobles were unable to preserve their property, and went into exile or died in battle.

Is it any wonder that their property and fiefs fell into our hands as spoils of war?

You can rest assured that everything that can be integrated and sold to you has been handled by a dedicated person. "Leon said with a smile, "This can be regarded as a small favor of our Coulence family. "

What the hell!

Sure enough, a man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass.

In this way, in a blink of an eye, Roland has an extra high-quality territory called "Blue Agate Port", which cost more than [-] gold coins, which is equivalent to more than two billion Lair.

Originally, the Cowrens family could give away these benefits for free, but they carried out the transaction in a serious manner. Even the Kingdom of Lena specially issued a legally binding canonization document for this purpose, and gave Roland a "Earl of Blue Agate" title of nobility.

One set, the process is completely impeccable.

This made Roland more and more fully aware of what is meant by law is the ruling tool of the ruling class.

If it were the god of law, he would not dare to say that these things are illegal!

In addition to Blue Agate Port, several nearby iron mines, tin mines, copper mines and other mines, as well as several large woodlands were also included in Roland's name.

This was not vacated by the nobles in exile, but the nearby nobles learned of it and volunteered to offer it.

God assured, at least for this moment, they were voluntary.

The well-informed Lena nobles have already grasped the basic information of Roland and others, and know that those people are worthy of refuge and befriending.

For the promotion of the world, for the success of the children, and for the greater interests in the future...

Even things like land have been spared.

This expanded the territory of "Blue Agate Port" a lot, and it was almost as large as a county.

Leon also acted as a broker and recommended a manor near the Mage Tower, which was a resort under the name of the senior Mage Legion stationed here.

The high-level mage had already returned to China, and the property rights left in Leiner World were no longer needed, so he simply entrusted Leon to handle it.

As a result, Roland spent a full [-] gold coins in order to buy this villa with an excellent location.

This mysterious price seems very unreasonable, but it seems...

And very reasonable?

Of course, even the money to buy these things was not paid out of hand.

The people of Atlantis opened a branch of the United Bank here, which can provide high-amount low-interest loans to members of the mage group.

All Roland needs to do is to sign a loan agreement and enjoy the development bonus.

……

"You bought me a house, a holiday estate in the nearby Mount Tyrrell?"

"That's right, that place is more than 30 kilometers west of the Wizard's Tower, and there are also vast forests and river valleys nearby, as well as a large unowned Warcraft territory.

You can usually live there, and when you are on duty, it is very convenient to fly to and from. "

Since the Mage Tower has not been completely renovated, Roland and the others did not move in immediately, but temporarily returned to the Governor's Mansion on the outskirts of the capital to settle down.

Roland took the map and told Trina the good news.

"When we are free on weekdays, we can also go over there for picnics, hunting, fishing, and have fun with you.

The house comes with some servants who have signed a death contract, and there are some villagers nearby who can accept employment. It is said that it is a house, but it is actually a township-level mountain territory. It is only because of the endless war that Dongleiner is unable to take back the governance power That's all.

It used to be managed under the name of the previous house owner, and the acceptance of the local people is not low. "

"That's really... you have a heart."

Trina didn't care much at first, but after listening to Roland's description, her words softened.

Succubus Al was listening, but secretly smiled.

Stupid green dragon, the property certificate and legal documents are all in the hands of the owner, you big lizard is just a temporary resident!

Look what moved you!

But she didn't know that Roland actually didn't care about these external things at all.

Because he has become richer and richer recently, he doesn't care about spending a little money to improve Trina's favorability.

This Reiner world is not a peaceful place, no matter whether I am at home, going on vacation or traveling, I have to have strong enough bodyguards to protect me so that I can feel at ease.

As for the certificates and documents, it is a joke in front of the dragon.

……

In the following period of time, everyone in the mage group was busy with their own affairs and gradually settled down.

The mage tower has just been built and has not yet been officially put into use. This period of time is just for them to adapt to the new working and living environment.

A few days ago, Archmage Holmes took away about half of the mages and went to the mage tower of Sirena.

They will perform the same tasks there and will also need to acclimate in advance.

To Roland's surprise, Gallo followed Holmes there.

Roland was a little surprised when school member Lei told him the news.

"Isn't he a student of Archmage Watson? Did he agree to serve as the dean of Autodox Academy in the East Lena Mage Tower?"

"What else can I do, be stubborn, go over there and prepare to start anew.

I heard that Archmage Holmes promised him a lot of benefits in order to win him over, and he also has some connections with the Kingdom of Silena, so he doesn't need to be influenced by the Collens family..."

Lei told him this with a smile.

"That's really..."

Roland couldn't help shaking his head and sighed with a smile.

"This kind of thing is considered a normal temporary transfer. You are a student of Your Excellency Orvisto, so you also came here to follow Master Watson. The reason is the same.

However, Najialuo seems to be interested in fighting with us, and he has submitted a proposal to establish a 'black ship system' and 'apprentice competition', planning to implement a cruel Gu-like system in the Mage Tower in Xilana!
Considering that the area over there already had such a tradition, the three archmages agreed! "

Lei told Roland another news.

Roland was slightly taken aback when he heard this: "That's right, the Black Dragon Dynasty, the drow elves, the Red Sand Legion...all of them are places where the law of the jungle follows a set of cruel social rules. The customs are different!"

He vaguely understood the other party's plan.

"Forget it, no matter so much, we just take care of ourselves."

When Lei heard this, he showed a slight smile: "Yeah, we just need to take care of ourselves.

Recently, many nobles in the Kingdom of Lena are very interested in the school, and they are also inquiring about the 'Seresism' intentionally or unintentionally. This is due to the past management of the Collens family here...

I also just found out that the experimental education of Seres has been implemented here, and it has achieved considerable success.

No wonder you said at the beginning that we will have some unexpected help here, but now it seems that we really came to the right place! "

At this moment, Al suddenly came in and said to Roland who was chatting with Lei: "Master, King Arkham XIV of Leiner sent an invitation letter. There will be a court ball in the evening. Please come with Lei Mister to attend."

"Oh?" Roland looked at the exquisite invitation letter and smiled helplessly.

"This is really... the country is broken, and the singing and dancing are still dancing."

Although Roland didn't think highly of the king of the colony, since he was kindly invited, it was not too good not to go.

Because there is no other business to be busy recently, this period of time is used for rest and making connections.

Socializing and entertaining is also a business.

So he asked Al to reply to the messenger, saying that he would attend on time at night.

Then came the preparations for the meeting.

Decent clothes are naturally indispensable.

Before he came here, he specially ordered a set of gorgeous robes in Nevis City. It was an enchanted piece of equipment, and it came with Feather Fall and Cleansing.

In addition, it is the female companion and bodyguard that is brought along on the trip.

Roland didn't want to casually go to the territory of the Reiner natives, but encountered various assassinations and fell into danger.

Although it is expected that Reiner's world has already been conquered, they don't have the courage to do so, but who can guarantee that there will be no Tinyara elements, or foreign devils, enemy assassins and the like in the ball?

For this kind of thing, Sister Cuihua comes in handy.

She is a green dragon in her own body, but she is a tall female elf in human form. She needs to be strong and decent.

Sister Cuihua, who just got a house, was short of staff, so she readily agreed to it, which was not in vain for Roland's painstaking efforts.

In addition, it is to report to the mage group.

In this foreign land, the members follow the command in all actions, and these things must be reported.

Mr. Leon was in charge of managing this matter. After learning about it, he smiled and said to Roland: "I just wanted to tell you that this time Arkham XIV not only invited you, but also invited all the people who stayed in East Lena. Member of the mages.

After all, for him, none of us can afford to offend. "

Roland asked: "What will this dance be like?"

Leon smiled meaningfully, and said: "Don't worry too much, it's just some necessary communication and entertainment.

After all, to the people of the Reiner Kingdom, you are still strangers and honored guests. "

……

As night falls, the king's capital is located in the magnificent palace.

The well-dressed nobles of Reiner and the mages of Arterine entered the ball, chatting and socializing among the melodious music.

From time to time, men and women are invited to dance together, enjoying themselves.

Roland came here with Leon, although during this time he has already started to arrange some servants for himself, as well as handymen to enrich the villas and villas.

The various vehicles needed for travel are naturally not a problem.

But Leon graciously invited him, and he got into the carriage of the Cowrens family.

This also has the meaning of taking advantage of the situation.

Sure enough, when everyone saw him appearing with Leon, they immediately understood that this was a heavyweight VIP whom the Coulens family valued, and they gathered around to salute.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you solemnly. The one who appears before you is the most outstanding young man among the young generation of Arterine, the winner of the Morning Star Award, the nominee of the Arcane Star, and the founder of the Siris School, Mr. Roland, the inventor of the Siris Rune and a senior lecturer!
You may have heard of the Seris School and Serisism, and also learned some related texts, all of which were brought to us by Mr. Roland..."

Before Leon finished speaking, there was already warm applause from around.

Arkham XIV stepped forward and said, "We have known you for a long time."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, but it's just a small name, not worth mentioning." Roland said.

"Mr. Roland is really too humble. You may not know it. As early as one or two years ago, your name was already widely known because of the education of Siris. Your book "The Romance of Siris" and the derived Sirisism It swept the Kingdom of Lena and brought many new fashions to our country.

I have already heard that you are a leader among the younger generation of Arterine, and seeing you now, you are indeed very charming and extraordinary! "

Arkham XIV said with emotion.

I'd be proud of you boasting like that.

Roland gave him a deep look.

In private, he knows it well.

The king and some of the great nobles of the Leiner Kingdom knew that they had thrown out the theory of the tribute system and kingship, thinking that they were moderates who sympathized with the Leiner Kingdom.

And a few days ago, when I first came here, I made some remarks about civilian education and world promotion, which further confirmed this point.

Compared with those hawks who shout and kill all day long, they certainly like little white doves like themselves more.

Sure enough, after Arkham XIV praised him, he intentionally or unintentionally talked about some topics of admiration for Arteline and willingness to submit to the king.

After rambling on, he gave up the opportunity to other nobles.

Compared with Arkham XIV's overtures, those domestic aristocrats were undoubtedly more direct. They just chatted a few words before giving up the home court to their daughters or wives.

Those beautiful aristocratic women were very enthusiastic about the Shangbang mages, they were a little more reserved, and they gave a glance, and the bold and unrestrained ones almost threw themselves into their arms on the spot.

Both Roland and Lei were invited to dance a few dances. They were not very good at ballroom dancing, but they were taught how to grasp the rhythm and how to walk around.

Correspondingly, he has received many invitations from the Duke's daughter, the Marquise, and the like.

They are all very happy to invite these master mages from Arterine to have an in-depth exchange on a more private occasion.

Fortunately, Roland has also been trained by the succubus partner, otherwise, he would really be overwhelmed.

However, Roland was more interested in those bold or subtle overtures, but the fact that the nobles of the Reiner Kingdom were almost all fluent in Atlantis.

Atlantis has been under colonial rule for many years here, and Atlant language, as the most commonly used internal communication language of the mage legion, has long been known to the nobles.

Now the great aristocrats regard it as a high-end and high-end language. Although the original mother tongue, Lena, has not completely died out, it has completely fallen into decline.

They have become the language of commoners and even slaves, the vernacular spoken by backward, ignorant people.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

At this moment, the excited voice of the master of ceremonies spread throughout the audience. At the dance scene, almost everyone's attention was attracted by this voice.

Soon, all eyes were on Princess Rosa who was dressed up on stage.

Today's Princess Rosa put on a special dress for the ball, under the background of the white gauze dotted with precious stones, shining like a beautiful goddess.

In all fairness, most of the Reiners have dark skin, while the Atrines are mostly white.

The difference in skin color, as well as the difference in aesthetics, caused the vast majority of Atlantis to think that the kingdom lacked handsome men and beautiful women, so they were not very willing to raise slaves here.

But there are exceptions to everything. Even in countries with different skin colors, there are some common aesthetics that transcend ethnicity, skin color and language.

This Princess Rosa, known as the Rose of Reiner, is the best example.

Even in a country like Arterine where blonde hair and white skin are considered beautiful, she can be called a stunning girl.

Roland had danced several times with several so-called duchesses and marquis daughters before, and found that although these aristocratic women were equally beautiful, they could only be regarded as ordinary characters, far from being astonishing.

On the contrary, Princess Rosa under this splendid dress, wearing a pure white evening gown like a sacred wedding dress, coupled with an exotic style with silver hair and wheat skin, really brought some shocks to him.

With a bit of appreciation, he looked up and down the other party, spontaneously amazed.

He had already met the other party before, and he always felt that the so-called number one beauty in the Reiner Kingdom was a bit exaggerated.

But now it seems that even a real beauty needs to dress up and dress up to complement her.

Now he finally began to believe in the title of the number one beauty in the Reiner Kingdom.

While everyone was watching, Princess Rosa came over and extended an invitation to Roland.

"Mr. Roland, would you like to dance with me?"

Many people showed envious expressions.

But most of them are calm and take it for granted.

Because in general perception, Roland is the most outstanding member of the young mages from Shangbang.

The aristocracy of the Reiner Kingdom wanted to curry favor, so of course they had to choose such a target.

In the elegant music, Roland danced with Princess Rosa with some appreciation, but unexpectedly found that the other party's body was a little tense, and it seemed that she was not very relaxed.

Gradually, I finally opened my mouth and started to inquire: "Mr. Roland, I would like to ask you, how do you plan to train students when you set up a college in the Kingdom of Leiner and offer courses, and what conditions are needed to enter the school you set up for further study?" Advanced study?"

Roland couldn't help being a little surprised: "His Royal Highness actually cares about such an issue?"

"This matter is related to the future of the Reiner Kingdom, shouldn't I care about it?" Rosa said.

"That's not what I meant." Roland smiled faintly.

In fact, he was just surprised that the daughters of other dukes, marquises and the like only cared about socializing and entertaining, talking about romance, music and art.

National events and the future of the nation?

It's like no one ever asked.

Of course, this Princess Rosa's question may be a well-designed topic to arouse her interest.

But Roland just wanted to reveal something about this to the people of the Leiner Kingdom, and after a moment of pondering, he said: "My philosophy can be summed up in one word, education for all, lifelong education!
Education in the usual sense is a full-time general education that takes place at the stage of children and adolescents, learning languages, and accumulating arcane cultural knowledge. If it is divided according to academic qualifications, it is three levels of primary education, secondary education, and higher education. .

However, the significance of education is definitely not limited to obtaining these academic certificates and learning a little outdated book knowledge that will always lag behind the development of arcane arts, but to teach and cultivate talents.

Therefore, comprehensive education such as vocational skills training in a broad sense and self-learning and growth are needed to supplement it, even including the education of parents and relatives for infants and young children, setting an example and so on. "

"So much? But judging from the situation in the Reiner Kingdom, most people's lives are already hard enough, and let alone the issue of education expenses, do they still have so much time and energy to support their studies?" Princess Rosa said a little Surprised, but also slightly worried.

She has every reason to be worried, because in terms of the relationship between Art Rhine and the Kingdom of Leiner, development and education, which should be a good thing, may also become a means of exploitation!
"Learning this kind of thing has always happened to short-lived species, but most of the time, many people don't have such awareness, and even mistakenly think that education and learning are just knowledge indoctrination that goes against nature. It is a painful grinding process.

But in fact, we humans have never had the ability to inherit knowledge from dragon eggs like giant dragons. Many things are mastered through continuous exploration and learning.

This is an objective need that must be met, so how can it be painful, or have no time and energy? "

Roland expressed an almost counter-intuitive point of view.

"Most of the time, it's just that the educational receptors are wrong, and the timing and method are wrong, which makes the learning that should be easy and happy become painful, and because there is no timely feedback of results, this leads to the failure of education.

Of course, subject to some objective conditions, we have no way to recruit all the people for full-time education, so the teaching mode of the Mage Tower still tends to traditionally recruit students from colleges uniformly and pass exams. form to proceed. "

Hearing this, Princess Rosa finally breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably: "I thought there would be a big change."

Roland said: "The Kingdom of Leiner can't stand too much trouble, and I don't want good things to turn into bad things, so the realization of my ideals must be implemented step by step, step by step.

Unless it is really necessary to turn it upside down, and it is necessary to decisively eradicate bad habits and make a complete change, otherwise, it is better to take it slow.

Tossing back and forth is a waste of people's energy. "

Princess Rosa stared at this man blankly.

Some words need to be listened in reverse, she suddenly realized keenly, why does this hide a meaning of "either don't do it or do it absolutely"?
