Arcane Linguist

Chapter 214 The Weapon of Popularization, Simplified Chinese
"Your Highness, why did you come here in this suit?

Needless to say, it suits you very well. It looks very good. "

Roland sincerely admired it.

Lena World is a multi-ethnic, multi-species world.

Among them, the Arkham family of the Eastern Lena royal family is a dark-white race similar to Siris, often showing a wheat-colored or yellowish-white complexion, and darker ones are yellow and olive.

The difference is that they are not black-haired and black-eyed, but silver-haired or brown-haired, and their pupils also have different colors.

But because the physique and facial features are similar to those of Blue Star's compatriots, they are still very suitable for these clothes and decorations.

This makes them look like Two-dimensional fans who participated in the game comic exhibition, but they can still see the characteristics of Chinese people.

On the contrary, the modeling of some games, animations, and movies uses foreign engines. Even if they are dressed in classical clothes, with black hair and black eyes, they are actually the faces and bones of Western Caucasians.

Now Princess Rosa feels to Roland like an oriental fantasy girl who came out of fantasy, her whole body seems to be full of strange brilliance.

When she heard Roland's admiration, she looked shy and lowered her head slightly.

But still with a bit of surprise, he pinched the corner of the skirt and said, "Really? I was worried that I would not look good in such clothes, and it would be a waste of your design."

"You can always trust a gentleman's aesthetics." Roland raised his lips slightly, "You should also trust his sincerity.

But as far as I know, Ballina Company has not officially released these Hanfu. How did you buy it? "

Upon hearing this, Princess Rosa twitched in embarrassment: "I saw your drawing and asked the tailor in the palace to make it."

"I see."

It takes a long time for the company to launch new products, but the tailors in the palace specially tailor clothes for her, so it is much faster.

The invasion of the Atlantians opened the gate of the plane to a certain extent, bringing new technologies and trends.

I am afraid that relevant fashion magazines have already been published by now, and those ladies in the royal capital circle have already spread the drawings and ideas.

Princess Rosa was full of emotion: "I never thought that Your Excellency Roland has such attainments in the fields of fashion and art. This is really an amazing design."

Roland smiled slightly when he heard this, but didn't say much.

After admiring it for a while, he changed the subject and asked about his daily study and work.

The new year has passed for a while, and it's time to calm down.

Princess Rosa said: "Recently, I have been sorting out your manuscripts and matters related to the "Reiner Canon". Ubor and Master Ghidorn have been working overtime spontaneously throughout the New Year, and I dare not delay."

Roland said with emotion: "This Reiner, someone is willing to fight for it, instead of just lying down."

Princess Rosa said with deep gratitude, "That's because you gave us hope."

"No, Rosa, you must always remember, don't expect gods and emperors, and there is no savior.

Self-reliance and self-improvement are the foundation of the rise of a country and a nation. "

Princess Rosa blinked her eyes, a little dazed.

But Roland didn't talk deeply about this topic. After he was emotional, he chatted with her about the next arrangement.

At this time, East Lainer has entered a new year. According to the plan of Arte Lainer, the Mage Tower will be put into formal operation from March to May this year.

And at the beginning of the new school year, the mage apprentices in Reiner's world will have a formal promotion channel.

Since the editing work of "Leiner Canon" is on the right track, Roland will devote more time and energy to educational affairs.

"After all, my job is still the dean of the Seris Academy, and the editing of the canon can only be placed in a secondary position.

However, I still hope that you can continue to help me.

I just don't know if you are willing to accept a formal offer to be my assistant in the mage's tower. "

"my pleasure."

Princess Rosa bowed slightly and gave a ladylike salute.

She has begun to get used to such a life now, and feels that she can learn a lot of useful things by following Roland.

Naturally, he was happy to solicit Roland himself.

……

In the days that followed, Roland met with several mages of the Reiner Council one after another, trying to persuade them to adopt Seres as a teaching language.

These people have already mastered a certain amount of Celesian, and they also recognized his achievements in the Rune School, so they agreed to it for the time being.

But for them, whether to join the Siris School is not a clear matter.

At best, it's just a verbal promise first because of Roland's face and financial attractiveness.

Roland also knew this, so he didn't force it for the time being, but focused on more research to prepare for the start of school.

At this time, he already knew that Lehner's productivity level had reached a level close to that of the first industrial revolution.

However, the overall level of development and the popularity of magic are still relatively low.

This division was caused by the colonial war.

In this world, the families of farmers, hunters, and artisans have done the same thing for generations, and they rarely become mages.

On the contrary, some merchants were supported by the influence of the Alter Rhine colonization to promote the circulation of goods and obtain a lot of rights and interests.

They formed the comprador class in Reiner's world and promoted the germination of capitalism. Sophia, Paulina and others came here to start their businesses, which also benefited from this environment.

These people have the opportunity to become the magical upstarts that replace the feudal noble lords.

The more favorable point is that in order to promote the education industry, the Cowrens family compulsorily established many general education colleges.

Therefore, the literacy rate is surprisingly satisfactory.

At least read books and newspapers, publicize policies, and popularize some basic 0-level tricks, the conditions are basically met.

This made Roland very pleased.

This is really to let him engage in education from a poor and blank stage, he is not that capable.

……

"Where do you find high-quality students?
Should we focus on the sons of nobles, sons of merchants, or the heirs of farmers and artisans? "

"Of course it's the former, they were born with better educational conditions, and they were also the main force in learning magic.

If you choose from among them, the overall quality will be relatively high. "

"But these classes lack the motivation to change their class, and from the perspective of probability, they may not necessarily have higher intelligence and magical talents.

If you want to get a real high-quality student source, you still have to find it from all Lehner people.

Regardless of nationality, region, occupation, high or low background...

Only when all the population is utilized can magic take off and the world advances! "

At the end of January, in the meeting room of Xishan Manor.

Roland talked about the popularization of magic with Lei, Blaise and others who came to visit.

Some aristocrats and elite intellectuals in East Leiner, including members of the editorial committee of the "Leiner Encyclopedia", attended the audience.

In the huge conference room, many assistants took notes individually. Princess Rosa also sat in the back seat as Roland's secretary, with piercing eyes. content of the meeting.

When there was an interval between speeches, she stopped, her beautiful eyes resting on Roland's back, her face flushed slightly.

The content of this meeting may determine the future fate of Reiner World.

She feels lucky and proud that she was able to participate deeply in it.

"Continuing the 10-year magic apprenticeship training like Arterine's is too expensive, and it doesn't fit the actual situation here.

I propose to compress the academic qualifications, recruit students directly from the College of General Studies, and focus on the apprenticeship cultivation in the Mage Tower.

Take some worlds, as well as the system implemented in the age of magic and witchcraft in Arterine, as an example. Apprentices are regarded as the property of official mages, and they can be regarded as hired workers, or even servants. They cooperate with some dangerous experiments as a price for Tuition fee reduction.

It is only necessary to stipulate a certain success rate, the number of students who are successfully promoted to the school each year and finally graduated to become official mages, and there is no limit to the process.

They even carried out some experiments on necromancy and dark magic in accordance with the suggestion of Art Rhine to obtain financial support..."

Blaise, as a relatively ancient Atrein mage, put forward his own opinion.

Lei immediately agreed.

This is a relatively old and barbaric practice.

But it can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of mages, and even attract some high-level mages from China to teach.

Local nobles and mages headed by Ubor, Ghidorn and others also deeply agree.

Roland also did not object.

Although he is a modern time traveler and despises such a barbaric and backward system, he knows that sometimes he has to compromise with the environment he is in.

"Then it's settled like this, sacrifice one generation or even several generations in exchange for the original accumulation of magic, and then gradually promote the construction of various colleges..."

At this time, Ubor raised a question: "Your Excellency Roland, we have been studying "Proficient in Seres" recently and found a problem. "

"What's the problem?" Roland gestured.

Wu Boer said: "We have been able to easily recognize the words in Seres, and have also mastered basic listening, speaking, reading and writing.

But this kind of magic cannot endow it with the function of analyzing connotation, and even cut off the connection of the signifier chain because it is too quick.

This kind of connection should have been established during the normal learning process, and it will be a matter of course, but additional learning will take time and effort. "

"This is the inherent defect of "knowing the language", or in other words, it is the price of taking shortcuts. "Roland said helplessly, "I can't solve it either. "

Lei agreed: "This kind of spell has always been like this. It can only be used as a means of assisting learning, and there is no need to treat it as a panacea."

Ubor couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Both Roland and Lei said this, and it seems that this is a common problem faced by the arcane world, not a problem of the Leiner people.

“There are no shortcuts to universal education.

But this method of mastering the language can already be regarded as a very convenient and easy-to-use method for personal learning.

One only needs to have a certain foundation of general studies, and then learn and master this spell, and immediately reach the level of native language.

This efficiency is very high.

Recently, we even tried to disassemble "Knowledge of Seris" from "Knowledge of Languages" and simplify it into a level 0 spell!
This is already a huge improvement.

You don't have to be discouraged. If you continue to move forward along this path, you will always see a bright future. "

Roland encouraged everyone.

After feeding everyone the chicken soup, he even said: "Moreover, "knowledge of language" cannot be improved, but language itself may be improved. "

Lei asked strangely: "What do you mean? Could it be that you want to further improve the Seres language?"

"To be precise, it's simplification."

Roland was confident, and threw out some things that had already been planned.

"Because I found some problems in the Reiner world in the previous research, I am trying to simplify the Seris language recently, and plan to launch simplified characters!"

"Simplified characters?"

Everyone showed surprise on their faces.

I quickly realized that this is to change the Seris language from the language level, and dig out a natural language that can adapt to the "language familiarity" to build a bridge for learning magic!

"I remember that there are indeed some simplified characters in Seris, and if they can be summed up and used, it can indeed reduce the difficulty of writing and learning.

But the problem is, the original text design is extremely delicate, how can it be simplified without losing meaning? "

As a calligraphy lover, Lei has done a lot of research on this point, so he couldn't help but raise his own doubts.

When everyone heard the words, they were thoughtful.

In this magical world, one of the problems faced by implementing these is indeed inevitable.

That is, resonance rate!
What Lei is worried about is that the connection between the Cyris language and the source of magic power constructed by Mana may be weakened by this deduction change.

This is really not unfounded worry, on the contrary, it is very likely to happen.

"Please forgive me, ever since you clarified the evolution route of Jia Jin Zhuan Li Cao Kai Xing Jian, some people in the arcane world have been studying related laws, and found that from oracle bone inscriptions to bronze inscriptions, then to seal characters, and then various With this type of book, the efficiency of magic resonance is constantly declining.

This should be caused by the change of imitation ancient and modern characters.

Generally speaking, we all think that ancient characters are more in line with the natural principles of heaven and earth, which is also the evolution from "text" to "character".

So what is the significance of this simplification and evolution? "

Text text is actually a different concept.

Oracle bone inscriptions are not oracle bone characters... because they are the writings of the Dao, which coincides with the Tao.

From the origin of its creation and evolution history, it is closely related to the avenue of heaven and earth and the power of rules.

The super magic characteristics and the application in the field of wishing that were shown before are also due to this.

Bronze inscriptions, on the other hand, focus on the magical power of inscription culture, and have miraculous effects in the field of alchemy.

Seal characters are secret seals, expressive power, and can also bless power words.

Entering the modern writing stage, these characteristics suddenly drop sharply, tending to mediocrity.

But considering the bonus points for scroll calligraphy and rune language, there are still merits.

So, what is the meaning of the simplified characters, and how to maintain their super-magical characteristics?

This is not Lei's question, but a question that Roland, as an arcane linguist, is naturally obliged to answer.
