Arcane Linguist

Chapter 213 "Chinese Programming" and Siris Magic

After a while, the atmosphere of the New Year gradually dissipated.

Roland restrained himself and continued to worry about the "Leiner Canon".

At this time, Al accidentally mentioned something to him, and the parents and brothers at home sent letters to greet him.

When Roland heard this, he rubbed his forehead and said, "Please send me a letter to say hello, and send them some gold coins by the way.

My nephew, Little John, should be 9 years old, and I asked my brother to hire him a better tutor, so that he can be educated strictly since he was a child.

I will fully support this matter, and you can speak up directly if you have any difficulties. "

Aldao: "Master, there is an extra travel quota for being an alternate member, and you can use the teleportation array for free. Don't you want to go back and have a look?"

Roland said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it later when we have a chance."

He is the traverser Roland, not the native Roland, but he doesn't have that much family affection.

"By the way, speaking of alternate members, I have already decided to choose the level 7 spell "Advanced Teleportation" as a special quota for my promotion.

This kind of spell involves the transformation of time and space under the ancient ether theory. The spell is extremely obscure and complicated. I probably don't have the time and energy to learn it.

But as a high-level arcanist, he should have some spells like teleportation as his trump card, and it is only serious to use the special quota. "

The spells of the "Prayer" series can theoretically realize "any" wish, at the cost of energy and distortion of various law levels.

Spell downgrade is the easiest consequence.

Based on this, someone has researched the use of simulated spells, but at the cost of a lower spell level.

This also means that the 7th-level "Limited Wish" can only simulate the 6th-level spell effect of the mage/warlock profession.

This is still the result of the arcane reform. In an even older era, the barriers between schools would further reduce the level that can be simulated.

As for cross-professional, cross-category (such as simulating priest magic), the downgrade penalty is even more severe.

Therefore, when encountering real high-level spells, you have to learn them honestly before you can master and use them.

It is rare that the magic net authority can give the opportunity to be exempted from studying, which is a very good supplement to one's own ability.

This kind of thing needs to go through a process. Roland provided the supporting documents on the spot and asked Al to handle it on his behalf.

……

A few days later, in Tyrell Manor.

Roland put on the "Robe of Mysterious Curse" presented by the teacher, the "Dragon Transformation Ring" presented by the Hilt Foundation, the "Gorgeous Mana Crystal Necklace" of Luneves, and several other magic items purchased by himself. Equipped with "Antonia's Spellbook" floating beside him, fully armed.

"Master, I have checked everything. These magic equipment, together with the spell scroll and survival materials in the wilderness in the dimensional bag, should be enough to prepare for an emergency when magic goes wrong.

Today is the first time you try the "Advanced Teleportation Technique", in case of an accident and you are teleported to a dangerous place, please be sure to seek emergency help immediately, and don't be brave..."

Al helped check up and down, even more nervous than Roland himself.

This is her big benefactor, a high branch that she climbed with great difficulty, and if something goes wrong, the entire career of the succubus is ruined.

Trina, who was watching, was a little nervous by her actions: "As for?"

But she asked herself, she didn't want anything to happen to Roland either.

The fox-eared girl, the rabbit-eared girl, the dog-eared girl and the two cat-eared girls were even more tearful, looking concerned and worried.

"Okay, what kind of expression do you have, isn't it the "advanced teleportation technique", you can't teleport me to the moon, right? "

"Master, please don't talk about this! Pay attention to the concentration of your mental strength!" Al said hastily.

"The guidance of the source of magic power is based on the subconscious mind. Even if I say it, it may not be...uh..." Roland said here, but it suddenly occurred to him that if he returned to the blue star in his subconscious mind, That would be bad.

This is much more serious than playing a game with shaking hands and clicking the wrong anchor point.

After everything was ready, Al said: "Master, please follow the operation manual and recite the instruction manual of "Advanced Teleportation"..."

It's quite official, it's just a suggestion from the Magic Net Management Office.

But Roland knew that she was doing it for his own good, so he could only say: "According to the 'Spell Encyclopedia', the effect of this spell is similar to Teleport, but there is no distance limit, and there will be no target error.

The caster does not need to see the destination, but in this case, the destination must be accurately described.

If teleported without enough information (or with the wrong information), it will disappear for a moment and then reappear in place.

You cannot use this spell to teleport across planes..."

(Note: This setting is quoted from the DND3R version of "Encyclopedia of Spells")
After getting ready, Roland began to chant the mantra: "~~~~~,~~~,~~~~~~~~,~~~~~~~..."

Along with the changes in the surrounding light and shadow, a ray of light is projected from the lofty sky.

Dotted with stars, the vast sky is presented in front of you like a projection of the universe.

Roland is no stranger to this feeling, and it is the scene where the teleportation array is activated.

However, there is no teleportation array constraint, but the use of spells to travel through the void by itself, making the fluctuation of time and space even greater.

In an instant, there seemed to be an obvious vortex in the void in front of him, sucking his whole body into it.

Roland felt as if he had been tumbling violently in the drum of a washing machine for a few weeks, as if the world was spinning, and he didn't know why.

Fortunately, since the development of magic, I don't know how many magicians have practiced this kind of thing.

Whether it is the model of the spell itself, the principle of casting spells, spells, or the "Instruction Manual", "Operation Manual", and "Precautions", they are all very complete.

Although Roland didn't really master this spell, he also learned about it when he was specially authorized.

Quickly adjust the state and try to lock the spiritual anchor.

After a moment, the rotation stops.

When I came back to my senses, I found that I had arrived in the garden of Xishan Manor.

The Alterian mage and servants who had been notified earlier applauded and cheered, and Leon also greeted him personally and sent his congratulations.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Roland, after the successful operation, it will be more secure when you use it next time."

Roland smiled lightly, thanked everyone, and then went back to the office to rest.

Everyone in Reiner's world has been staying together for a long time, and the conversation is full of envy.

"Advanced spells, comparable to miracles!"

"We have no chance to learn and master these things in our lifetime, right?"

"Thanks to the permission of Shang Bangyat Lain, who gave me the opportunity to promote the civilization of the demon."

"Yes, everyone, don't be discouraged. Our country originally lacked even level 4 spells. Now, even level 5 and level 6 spells are possible to learn!"

"It is said that the level 5 "Teleportation" is also on the list of spells that are allowed to be exported. "

……

Soon after, in the office.

Roland opened the spell book in his hand again and began to study it.

In addition to his daily work, he is also continuing to study, and now he is beginning to think about mastering some 4th-level spells.

It wasn't until this time that he really felt the difficulty of growing up in the magical world.

At best, his fifth-level body and magic level only gave him a talent for casting spells comparable to magic species.

But a mage's spells come from the mastery of knowledge, and these spellcasting talents are useful, but they may not necessarily be the decisive factor.

He didn't have a deep understanding of this in the low-level realm, but it became more obvious from the 4th level.

It's no wonder that the vast majority of Alterian mages stop at the low level.

Even in a high-magic civilization, it is impossible for everyone to master high-level spells.

Because he had just obtained the "advanced teleportation technique", Roland took advantage of the opportunity to take the "any door" of the conjuration system as his research object.

This is the special spell quota granted when he was awarded the honorary title of chief authoritative expert of Oracle and the special allowance from the Arcane Council.

Just like "knowing the language" at the beginning, he is also trying to use it as the knowledge he has mastered, so as to know why.

This can not only speed up the level improvement, but also convert its exclusive quota into free quota.

"Fortunately, I have learned "dimension jumping", and now I have "advanced teleportation". There is a connection between these spell models and the principles of casting spells, coupled with the practice of personal experience, it can effectively reduce the difficulty of mastering. "

After calculating the spell model for a while, Roland tried to meditate and build it in his mind.

There seemed to be many complex functional formulas in his mind, as well as the dynamic effects of these transformations in space.

Unlike ordinary "Any Door", Roland tried to use some Seris runes to replace some of the elf runes in order to achieve the meaning replacement of "Words of Runes".

This is actually the use of the so-called "interlanguage".

Interlanguage, also translated as transitional language or interlanguage, refers to the dynamic language system in which learners gradually transition to the target language as the learning progresses during the second language acquisition process. (Note: Baidu Encyclopedia)

Roland discovered this phenomenon of language blending in Blue Agate Port, the territory transferred to him by the Collens family. In the magic field of the arcane world, in the environment where various runes and spells are used, different creatures and races use One's own spiritual power to communicate with mana and seek resonance must also involve the use of this interlanguage.

In the past, it was generally believed that there was a purely symbolic system similar to computer languages ​​in the magic field, so there was no need to think too much about the existence of "interlanguage".

This statement is like an old Chinese programming topic.

Many programmers believe that Chinese programming is meaningless, and the so-called Chinese programming is just an unrealistic fantasy for laymen.

In fact, "English" in the computer context is indeed not "English" in the field of natural language.

It is more of a purely symbolic mark, similar to the symbology of Arabic numerals.

This is actually a communication error caused by the general public's ignorance.

Both sides have their own reasons, but some concepts are confused, and the views are biased.

Moreover, the early systems even had various errors in Chinese path names, which is extremely unreasonable and must be corrected.

It is not a matter of course for large-scale projects and international team communication to use English as the common language to communicate and reduce costs. This can only be said to be a helpless fait accompli.

The same is true for learning magic. Using the native language that one can understand and master as a medium is much more convenient than directly using Elvish language.

But just like in the past years, due to some problems left over from history, Chinese is a non-ASCll code and cannot be displayed normally in some old systems.

In web projects, it is prone to various problems of inconsistency between the front and back ends.

If the keywords and function names are in different languages, it will be troublesome to switch the input method.

This caused some early programmers to be reluctant to use Chinese variables, and the entire project, including comments, were all in English.

In the field of magic, the position occupied by the elvish language is roughly equivalent to English in the computer field.

Many magic books, ancient contracts, and secret runes are all written in elven language.

This has also led to the phenomenon that anyone who studies magic must learn Elven language, and learn ancient Elven language.

But it should be clear that it has always been like this, and it is not necessarily a matter of course.

Magic doesn't have to be in Elvish by nature.

Other super magic languages, even enchanted languages, ordinary languages, also have magical properties.

Because language is the embodiment of thinking, what really resonates with mana is spiritual power, and the consistency of rune coding and front-end and back-end can be guaranteed.

Similar to the problems encountered in Chinese programming, the cost of overthrowing history and rebuilding the entire magic system is too high, and the cost of communication and learning is placed there. Everyone uses Elvish, which has always been the case, so it is difficult for other forms of magic to appear. symbology.

What Roland is doing now is similar to starting from compatible encoding, Chinese interface, file name, variable name, function name...

Compatibility step by step, looking for a replacement.

Is Chinese programming meaningful?Roland is hard to say.

But he can be sure that Siris magic is of great significance.

This is the key to realizing magic autonomy and a complete system, and it is also the key to the formation of a school.

If things go on like this, the teaching materials of the entire magic academy will be in Chinese, teachers and students will communicate in Chinese, spells will be cast in Chinese, all kinds of magic books and scrolls, and the seal of the secret method will be in Chinese...

is completely achievable.

It's also his business.

While Roland was busy, a figure quietly appeared at the door of his office.

Roland raised his head with some vigilance, only to find that it was Princess Rosa whom he hadn't seen for many days.

She is wearing a Han-made skirt made of precious silk, and she is holding a flying fairy bun with double rings, like a classical lady walking out of a painting, elegant and beautiful.
