Arcane Linguist

Chapter 23 Talking and Giving

"It used to be more lively and extravagant here, because I was born rich, and I like to be flashy, and the world calls me knowledgeable and talented. Unexpectedly, to a large extent, inventions and creations are brought about for convenience and enjoyment."

After laughing, Orvisto spoke in fluent Elven language with nostalgia for his youth in his eyes.

"Our old friends who are about the same age like to meet often after they become successful and famous. As the old saying goes, they respond to each other and seek each other with the same spirit. But somehow, when we get together, we complain about everyone, and think of all kinds of eating, drinking and having fun when we were young. Like losing a treasure, I always feel that the life in the past was good enough, but the life now is not worth mentioning.

Some people complain that because they are getting old, they are even saddened by being ridiculed by their relatives and friends, so they regard old age as a source of pain.

But in my opinion, the problem does not lie in age. "

"That's true." Roland agreed with his mouth, but secretly complained in his heart, you guys are in pain, it's only in pain if you don't have money.

Orvisto took a sip of the magic wine, smiled and said: "I have raised all kinds of beauties from more than a hundred races, and I have lived as absurdly as a secular emperor, but if you ask, how is it about falling in love now? , Do you still like scepters, harems and jewelry at such an age? All I can say is, don’t mention it! Wash your hands and quit!
Thank goodness, it's like I've been freed from a crazy and ruthless slave master.

Getting old really makes people calm and quiet, and this state is really like getting rid of a group of vicious slave owners. "

really?I do not believe.

Roland thought to himself.

"Roland, the many pains mentioned above, including the intertwining of love and desire, disputes between emotions and legal principles, and various dissatisfaction with relatives and friends, are not caused by a person's age, but by a person's character.

If you are a generous and calm person, aging is not too much pain for you, otherwise, you will still have troubles at a young age. "

(Note: About 380 words above are quoted from "Utopia", written by Plato (Ancient Greece), translated by Guo Bin and Zhang Zhuming. It is assumed that the time and space are disordered, and Blue Star does not have these works.)
Roland nodded again and again: "What Your Excellency the Archmage said is absolutely true."

Tucao belongs to Tucao, but he also understands that some wisdom is born, while others need to rely on time to precipitate.

The words of the great master can be regarded as life insights, which may also be due to the disappearance of many desires and the ability to focus on the spirituality in the depths of the soul.

"I'm curious. When you came up just now, when you saw them, did you ever have any thoughts of beauty, or even fantasize about them?"

Ovisto smiled, and suddenly pointed to the succubus sisters who were standing by with a smile on standby, and asked a sharp question.

The succubus sisters looked at Roland with a smile, as if curious about his answer.

Roland said honestly: "It's a little bit."

That's a naked butt succubus!
Who tm can stand it?
"Hehehehe..."

Orvisto laughed.

"You are very honest."

Roland had no choice but to cover up his embarrassment by tasting wine.

"Actually, some mages in the tower I summoned for the first time will also experience such a scene."

"Then, what was their reaction?" Roland put down his glass and asked curiously.

"What else can I do? Naturally, some people are shy and twitchy, some are flirtatious, some are restless, and some speak out loudly against their will.

There are even people who feel that they have been greatly insulted, but are forced to endure it due to my power.

These kinds of things are all human.

But I think that only a gentleman who is truly dignified and upright can face it calmly. I am very satisfied with your performance. "

Roland was a little embarrassed by what he said, but also a little helpless.

This is really...

What an indescribable taste!
Ovisto said: "Don't think I'm teasing you. I'm not that boring. It's just that I've heard too much about geniuses falling into mediocrity and falling into mediocrity. I just want to see how your heart is."

He looked at Roland solemnly, and his voice became serious.

"On the long road to the Hall of Wisdom, we not only have to face many difficulties, but also resist countless temptations. Most of those who think that they can relax after entering the Mage Tower will gradually sink.

Alteraine magic is developed, there are no worries inside and outside, and the wind of extravagance is growing. Many young mages are indulging in sensuality and pleasure. "

Roland hurriedly said: "What Your Excellency the Archmage said is very true, I will remember it."

Archmage Orvisto changed the topic, but laughed again: "Don't think that I am preaching, but I am actually having fun, as if people are doing the same thing and others are doing the same thing. Today I want to take this opportunity to , to teach a young man like you a little trick."

Roland blushed, feeling guilty that his petty thoughts had been seen through.

He was secretly complaining in his heart just now, and suggested that you should not suggest it.

How can I play like crazy all the way when I was young, and I don’t know if I have started to restrain myself when I am over half a century old, but I teach the younger generation like a sage?
Never thought, there is such a sentence waiting.

"My lord, what is the trick?"

He hurriedly asked, with the sincerity of asking for advice.

Orvisto smiled slightly: "It's very simple, turn desire into motivation."

"Appreciate further details."

"Transform everything that may indulge in pleasure, or make yourself slack and weak, and become a driving force for progress."

Roland was slightly startled, thoughtful.

Indeed, wanting various resources can be transformed into a motivation to learn reptiles.

Indulging in bad habits can be transformed into a motivation for researching AI and self-reliance.

Draw card krypton gold, which can be transformed into a motivation to work hard to earn money and save money...

People pursue happiness, not those things that bring happiness.

When you can get greater happiness from other things, the little things you indulged in before are no longer worthy of nostalgia.

In the same way, some dangerous things that can destroy this brain reward and punishment mechanism must be absolutely prohibited, and stay away in time!
"Actually, many fellow mages are researching similar methods. For example, the potion produced by alchemy can convert dopamine into endorphins. For example, the directional prayer technique of magic can maintain learning and avoid mental burnout. , Another example is a special contract partner, or academic peers supervise each other, and some people even carry out some transformations on their bodies to become a special physique that is easy to obtain happiness from learning..."

As the archmage of the arcane world, Orvisto didn't preach to Roland air-to-air, he really came up with a specific plan.

"It's just that there are some possible risks in these methods, such as the negative effects of spells and the failure of transformation...

The law of Arterine stipulates that these are not allowed to be touched and used during the apprenticeship stage, just because you are afraid that your three views have not yet matured and will be led astray.

I also feel that some things go too far, so I used a magic control spell with relatively low negative impact, called "Scholar's Enthusiasm".

Its function is to make you temporarily lose interest in other aspects, and focus on arcane research. Although it is only level 1 in the evaluation system of the magic net, it will undoubtedly play a huge role in the entire arcane career and life path. It is recommended that you study and master it as soon as possible, and when you feel that you will not be able to hold on, give yourself a shot. "

Orvisto didn't give lip service and point the young man with empty teeth, but ordered the succubus sisters to take out a magic wand from the cabinet next to him on the spot.

It is exquisite in appearance and high in texture. It is made of dark cherry wood, about 45 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter. The surface is smooth and shiny. There is a pink crystal carved into the shape of a praying maiden on the top of the staff.

"This is a wand of Scholar's Enthusiasm that stores 50 rounds of energy. It can cast the level 2 spell "Scholar's Enthusiasm" with the consumption of 1 rounds each time. After the consumption is over, you can go to the magic equipment shop in the tower to buy magic spar to recharge it. I will give it to you as a meeting gift. "
