Arcane Linguist

Chapter 20
In the library of Orvisto's Mage Tower, Roland walked beside the mountains and sea of ​​bookshelves, as if he had stepped into the sacred hall of wisdom.

A ball shone slightly, like a fairy book spirit in the forest leading him, leading him to the place he wanted.

Although Alteraine has entered the era of the magic net, many habits of the classical period are still preserved. This kind of paper book also contains magical mysteries similar to spell scrolls.

Information that is purely informational can also be viewed through the magic net terminal, but physical books are more suitable for carrying magic.

Therefore, the collection of the library often determines the background of a mage tower.

"Research on the Two-Layer Character of Symbols", "Translocation of Language", "Arbitrariness of Language", "Signifier Chain Model and Context Backtracking Algorithm", "An Artificial Intelligence Dialogue Model Based on Recurrent Neural Networks"...

Looking at the titles of these familiar books translated in his mind, Roland couldn't help feeling a little familiar.

In the arcane field of Alteraine, interdisciplinary research is ubiquitous, and because arcane is the first magical power, subjects such as artificial intelligence that should be classified as computer technology are also strongly related to language and writing.

This is a difference in the results of the division, but the interdisciplinary thinking is consistent.

But before Roland reached into the bookshelf, Taling cast a light screen, and Senior Froya's head appeared on it.

"Roland, we have contacted you, we are here to find you!"

Roland was a little puzzled, but when he walked out of the library gate, he saw fellow students Skold, Yiwen, and several other seniors who didn't know each other waiting at the door led by Froya, with excited expressions on their faces. looking at myself.

Roland said in surprise: "Everyone, what happened?"

Froya waved the newspaper in her hand and said, "Roland, the oracle bone inscription research you submitted has been included in "Arcane", and the scheduling priority is very high, it will be published in October!

By the way, this is the newspaper that was just delivered, you can read the comments of these reviewers..."

Roland took the newspaper from Froya's hand.

This is the arcane newsletter of Nevis, the city of the sky. It belongs to the journal "Arcane". It specializes in publishing some news about the arcane world. The price is quite expensive.

Corresponding to this is the media account on the magic net, which will post some news every day to remind the mages of all parties to grasp the relevant information of the arcane world in time, even the mages living in different planes will vote for it. Pay close attention.

Of course, this kind of state-level authoritative media does not publish any news casually.

Only top-level journals like "Arcane", as well as first-line mainstream journals such as "Runes", "Elements", "Monthly Alchemy", "Age of Magic", "Looking at the Starry Sky" are eligible to publish news on them frequently. If it is changed to below the first line, the opportunities are few and far between.

"This work creates a brand-new writing system with a rare ideographic mode, with exquisite design, rigorous structure, perfect rules, mature system, and detailed dictionary, all of which are rare in the arcane world since modern times..."

"Unconstrained imagination, the pride of overhead scientists! This article uses a two-dimensional image abstraction and simplification method to imitate the ancient ancestors to create characters, and solve the problem of meaning that has been troubled by the arcane community for many years.

Its word and sentence rules, tense, and part-of-speech changes are all very different from the various languages ​​we are familiar with, which greatly enriches the rule construction of philology..."

"Leaving aside the magic, only in terms of linguistics itself, it is indeed impeccable in all aspects...

But I still want to remind you that only magic is the right way of linguistics. If you want to enter the level of practical application, the author must make persistent efforts to break through this level as soon as possible..."

The newspaper published the comments written by the three archmages Orvisto, Lunifuss, and Watson, but they were not signed according to the regulations.

Roland didn't know that it was these comments that caused an uproar in the city of Nieves in the sky.

Many students under the name of Grand Master Watson know how stubborn their teacher is. If they objected at the beginning, there is almost nothing that can make him change his mind.

But this time, it was just a sour reminder.

Did you take the wrong medicine?

As for the people in the tower, they didn't care that much for the time being.

They only knew that it was amazing for trainee mages to be able to publish their own articles in top journals like "Arcane".

"Roland, you are really amazing!"

"As expected of an excellent student specially recruited by Your Excellency the Archmage..."

Roland was ashamed, and said modestly: "Seniors and sisters, I am serious."

"No, no, no, it's not serious at all. You must know that many fellow mages have never published their arcane treatises in "Arcane" in their entire lives."

These seniors and sisters were full of emotion.

This time, Roland's starting point can be said to be the end point of others.

……

With the preheating and announcement of the Arcane Newsletter, its influence continues to grow.

From the night when he learned the news, Roland dug out the official notification letter sent by the "Arcane" journal from his Monet mailbox, and he continued to receive news from various parties. Many people he knew or didn't know sent letters to block the mailbox.

Fortunately, Tower Ling belongs to spiritual intelligence. Although the processing speed is not as good as that of electronic computers, and tasks often need to be queued, the advantages of low energy consumption and high intelligence are undoubted. With the magic circle with certain computing power, it can filter out a lot of boring disturbed.

"Mr. Roland, you have an email from Iser's Mage Tower."

A few days later, Roland just woke up and was reminded again.

"Iser's Mage Tower, that seems to be a comprehensive Mage Tower in the public domain."

With such thoughts in mind, he accepted the screen projection technique, and immediately saw an email displayed on the light curtain in front of him, full of smooth floral elf text on the screen.

"Dear Mr. Roland, hello!
It is a great honor to read your review of oracle bone inscriptions and two papers on oracle bone inscriptions research.

As Arcanists of the Iser Rune School, we have also done research in the fields of language, writing and magic runes, and we deeply feel that your theoretical attainments in the field of ideograms are admirable.Your paper "A New Type of Practical Writing—Study on Oracle Bone Inscriptions" has aroused widespread attention and discussion in this month's Arcane Newsletter, and it has guided a new direction for the creation of new types of magical writing. Put forward some related questions, and Wanwang will take the time to answer them in his busy schedule, and look forward to in-depth exchanges with you...

Regards, Lunefrus. "
