Arcane Linguist

Chapter 228 The Holy Light and the Uninvited Guest

"Stand by..."

Roland looked at the gray-haired old man with great interest.

"Your Excellency, you mean to use the "Seres Conferring God Art" to lay the foundation for you as a reincarnated petitioner? "

Petitioners are devout souls of believers in this magical universe.

Believers who are justified by faith can really enter the Kingdom of God after death and be reborn again.

Because the gods are real!

Among the outer planes, there are planes such as Heaven Mountain, Abyss, and Hell. The creatures on the material plane will be reincarnated into other planes according to their own nature and power of belief, and obtain spiritual longevity.

"As far as I know, a petitioner is a special kind of spiritual body, which is closely related to the previous life, but different from the previous one.

Could it be that Your Excellency the Archbishop wants to accumulate some background and have his own foundation in the Kingdom of God in the future? "

"No, I just want to ensure that I can become a petitioner and be with God." Archbishop Pana categorically denied his selfishness and chose a high-sounding reason.

"To be honest, I have a premonition that my life is like a candle in the wind, and I may be called by the Lord to go to heaven at any time.

But to become a petitioner, in addition to a firm belief, you also need a blazing heart and surging passion.

Not everyone can do this.

As an archbishop, I should set an example to ensure success. This is just to be able to draw closer to the Lord and be with God! "

"Okay, I understand." Roland half understood.

"Please don't worry about the cost of retouching, it will definitely satisfy you."

Archbishop Pana did not directly say what he could give Roland, but made a guarantee.

From the looks of it, it was planned to determine the reward based on the effect of the entrustment.

Writing biographies can be regarded as the traditional art of traditional literati.

Many writers and historians will write biographies for celebrities, ancestors, friends, etc., so as to describe and evaluate a person's life, deeds, thoughts, and personality.

In addition to its literary value, writing biographies also has historical and cultural value.

Through biographies, future generations can understand the social background, cultural features and historical events of a certain era.

It also has certain significance for historical research and cultural inheritance.

Roland brought it to this world through "The Romance of Seris", which is essentially derived from the writing method of "Historical Records".

The Archbishop of Pana is absolutely astute. He was keenly aware of the value of this kind of liberal arts magic, so he took the initiative to come to the door and seek to write a biography. This is to discover Roland's value as a writer.

Inspiration is something that doesn't mean that something exists.

Writing a biography is not like modeling in digital technology. There is a clear, tangible object that can be used as a reference.

Roland was not even familiar with the Archbishop of Pana, so he could only learn about it based on some diary information and public information he provided.

But when Roland wrote the biography of the Talmud and Ji'an, he wrote it casually with a swipe of a pen.

This is because he has mastered a knack for liberal arts magic: fictionality!
I don't want you to feel, I want me to feel.

Spiritual shaping depends on "I".

To be precise, it is "observer".

It just so happened that Roland had done some research in this area, and after a few brushstrokes, he produced a biography of more than 100 words for Archbishop Pana on the spot.

The old bishop saw a smile blooming on his face like a dead tree.

"You really deserve to be His Excellency Roland, what a wonderful pen!"

"I'm overwhelmed. I'm not satisfied with such a work. Let me make a sample first, and let me continue to improve."

"No, no, it's already very good, the literary talent is brilliant, and it's extraordinary!"

"really?"

"Of course it is!"

Archbishop Pana appreciated it unexpectedly. After all, literature is something that needs to be compared.

Art Rhine and Rainer world culture is not prosperous, even the literacy rate is not high.

The elite class is obsessed with magic, and their cultural literacy is only at the level of "Ah, praise you, God of Light".

Many people say that modern "literature is dead" because the function of carrying information has changed.

Modern articles are more inclined to carry information, entertainment and other functions. Occasionally there are excellent works, but they are also submerged in the vast ocean of information.

The literary standards of the Atrine and Rainer worlds are closer to the modern background.

In comparison, Roland is the kind of doctoral student in the Chinese Department with a certain literary talent. With a little escort, the skills of parallel prose seem to be reduced in dimensionality.

Not long after, Archbishop Pana took his leave.

Roland personally sent him out of the gate of the manor, then came back, and stayed in the office thinking.

"Mr. Roland, what is this?"

Princess Rosa's curious voice sounded beside her.

Roland was alarmed and came back to his senses: "Did you say this? The holy emblem of the God of Light."

"Holy emblem?" Princess Rosa stared wide-eyed, looking at the object in Roland's hands.

It was a finely carved badge with a gold casing, reflecting a faint golden glow under the magic lights in the office.

The center of the badge is engraved with an abstract sun pattern, and the tiny silk threads are intertwined, like rays of light, giving people a warm and mysterious feeling.

Roland handed it to Princess Rosa casually.

"If you are interested, I will give it to you."

"Huh?" Rosa took it in a hurry.

"This Holy Emblem is a gift from Archbishop Pana to me, and it is a magical prop for non-religionists.

It has four magical effects of "healing minor injuries", "holy light", "sanctuary", and "protection from evil".

You can take it as a talisman, and if you really encounter any evil creatures or devils, it will have a certain protective effect. "

"This, how embarrassing it is..." Rosa said, but she still felt flattered and surprised, "Don't you use it yourself?"

"I'm a high-level Arcanist, so I don't need such gadgets." Roland said with a smile, "What's more, I have already obtained something more valuable."

"Huh?" Princess Rosa was a little puzzled.

She was busy serving tea and water before, and didn't notice that Archbishop Pana avoided her and the priests who came and gave Roland a generous gift.

That is information about holy emblems and divine inscriptions.

That is the real "retouching fee".

This holy emblem is just a souvenir given by the church to "activists who donate money", "friends outside the church" and "pioneers who punish evil and promote good". .

For the mages of Alteraine, the holy emblem and the information of the divine language are not secrets.

After all, among the spells mastered by mages, such as "Burst Rune", "Serpentine Seal", "Seal Emblem", etc., are all arcane achievements related to philology.

Their functions are also similar. They all use a special method to create a readable text version of the rune, so that it can produce effects such as "causing damage when being read", "immobilizing the reader" and so on.

Words in the magical world are magical.

However, compared to the version mastered by mages, what Archbishop Pana provided was more spiritual resonance, and it was easier to create effects like "deterring evil", "expelling the undead", "shocking the soul" and so on.

In particular, the magical effect that is biased towards spiritual resonance is a necessary measure to establish a spiritual link and increase the appeal of the article.

"I finally understand why the literary talents of this world are not thriving."

Roland chuckled secretly and shook his head helplessly.

"We already have these things, what literary talent do we need?

Praise the Lord and it's over! "

You have literary talent, I have magic.

In this aspect, Blue Star in the previous life cannot be compared with this world.

But having said that, if the basis of ordinary text can also produce touching effects, write touching chapters such as "Chen Qing Biao" and "Teacher's Biao", and give birth to "Lanting Collection Preface", "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" and so on The ancient strange writings, combined with the magical power that this world already has, will only become stronger!
Roland seemed to have seen the scene where poetry became a town and talent soared to the sky.

Gan!
Why is it becoming more and more like Confucianism and Taoism?

I am a linguist, what literature do I study?
No, no, stop now.

Do not do business properly!

Roland quickly pulled his thoughts back, and decided to learn from the information provided by Archbishop Pana.

……

On April 4, Nevis City, inside the headquarters of the editorial department of "Magic".

On the ceiling, the exquisite magic chandelier emits a faint white glow, like sunlight, evenly falling in the spacious and bright conference hall.

The high-ranking mages attending the meeting were sitting at the long table. Some mages were seriously flipping through the documents, some were discussing something, and some were sitting there alone, thinking or writing with their heads down, looking solemn and busy.

Just then, a mage wearing a gorgeous robe walked in.

He is the immediate boss of everyone, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Magic".

The editor-in-chief put down the teacup in his hand, coughed dryly, and said, "Now, let's start the hearing of the final trial."

Swain and the others stopped what they were doing, sat upright solemnly, and listened to the announcement of the list of articles entering the final review stage.

As expected, Roland's "A New Type of Practical Spell: Celestial Apotheosis" was impressively listed.

"I personally have no objection to this article, but if I publish it, I may have to consider the reaction from the Church of the Seven Gods."

"It's a joke, when we, Master Arterine, published arcane results, when should we consider the reaction of those churches? Could it be possible to publish something that is not conducive to the creation of the gods or the governance of the Holy See, and it is impossible to tie the mage to a pillar and burn him to death?" ?”

"That's really not to mention, in some ignorant and backward low-magic civilizations, there is no shortage of such things..."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

The editor-in-chief shook his head: "Okay, everyone votes."

It turned out that, while some expressed slight concern, there was support nonetheless.

In the end it was a unanimous vote.

They can fully foresee that the publication of such arcane results may bring some controversy and influence.

This actually had to be Roland's own fault.

When he moved the article, he didn't fully consider the difference between the two universes. He only thought that the novel of gods and demons was acknowledging the existence of gods.

But at least on the surface, Roland chose Nomos, the fallen god of law, and he was a pan-believer.

Some of the ideological stamps and value orientations he showed are more like neutrals.

Not even considered an atheist.

Therefore, I still chose to support the publication.

……

Sure enough, as expected by everyone in the editorial department, when the final results of the new issue were released, the magic net became even more lively.

The previous "Fengshen Yanyi", no matter what, was just a novel.

Even in an extremely conservative religious country, writing a novel is likely to be burned at the stake. The words of the novelist can also be described by the ignorance and arrogance of ordinary people.

But as soon as the "Seres Conferring God Art" appeared, everyone didn't know what to say.

When did the status of the gods have to be canonized by the secular government?

incomprehensible notion...

Is this Siris school so brave?

Isn't he afraid that the gods will send down decrees, and even turn into saints through the gods to make trouble for him?

Gods can "go down to earth" and have human incarnations!
Relatives and friends expressed concern about this.

Fortunately, this is Arterine, not any other place.

Moreover, the "Seris Conferment of Gods" was published after Roland was promoted to a high-ranking arcanist and alternate member, not a period of minor roles.

Such a result has received widespread positive reviews.

However, Mehad and the others became even more unavoidable hostile.

The previous "Houyi Shooting the Sun" and "The Romance of the Gods" were just words on paper, without any real consequences.

It's over for a verbal fight.

But he didn't expect that there was such a layer as "Seris Conferring God Art".

He is coming for real!
Bishop Mehad had nothing to do with Roland for the time being, so he could not help but write tens of thousands of words in an eloquent manner again, severely condemning him.

"This kind of research that uses arcane arts to infringe on the field of divine arts is extremely rebellious and disrespectful!
Just as arcane research needs to abide by the world's laws, ethics and other norms, the field of divine arts should also be a prohibited category.

Mr. Roland is indeed talented, but at this moment, he is on the verge of an extremely dangerous situation.

He is trying to go beyond the boundaries of knowledge, involving a field that should not be interfered by humans, which is blasphemy!

In addition, this kind of research may also lack arcane basis and proof, so it may be a kind of meaningless research..."

"Gallo, look quickly, the bishop of the Church of the God of Light is criticizing Roland!"

In the city of Dogula, Oxea was pleasantly surprised.

Because the diocese that Mahad is in charge of happens to be Sirena where they are located!
"Perhaps, we should pay a visit to this bishop?" Oxea suggested to Gallo.

Gallo was speechless for a while: "Go by yourself, I've been busy recently."

What no one knew was that, at the time when public opinion was raging, a ray of holy light descended from the sky above Xishan Manor.

An uninvited guest descended on the manor quietly.
