Arcane Linguist

Chapter 24 Arcane Arts and Sophistication

"Your generosity flows like a river, and your wisdom shines like the sun."

Roland said sincerely.

When he took the wand, he found that its surface showed natural wood grain, and it exuded a faint cherry aroma under the magic light in the room, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

The whole wand has been carefully polished to make the surface smooth but not slippery, and every detail reflects the craftsmen's pursuit of perfection.

He reckoned that the practical function alone would be worth at least 1000 gold coins. Considering the appearance and quality, it would require a skilled craftsman to make a special order, which would come with a high extra value.

Afterwards, Orvisto chatted with Roland about some trivial matters, including living conditions, parents and family members, friendships, and gradually shifted the topic to the progress of arcane arts.

Knowing that Roland was learning ancient elf language recently, he also casually recited a small poem from the period of the third dynasty in ancient elf language to test Roland.

Roland did not relax during this time, and passed the school examination smoothly.

Eventually, naturally, it turned to the topic of contributing to Arcane.

"I've read your thesis, it's a genius idea!

Although I am very worried that excessive praise will make young people lose themselves, but I don't think you are that kind of person. I hope you can continue to work hard and continue to improve this arcane research. "

"Thank you for your praise. I will continue to lay a solid foundation in the past few months and strive to improve the oracle bone script. The next step is to try to transfer it to the application level of magic."

"Very good, fame and fortune should not be the highest pursuit of life, but at the same time, it is indispensable, and the application of magic is obviously a good way to gain both fame and fortune."

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Roland asked quickly.

"I haven't studied your oracle bone inscriptions in depth, but after a brief look, I think it may be useful in common fields such as spell scrolls and alchemy. Maybe you can try it."

"Thank you for your advice."

In fact, Roland also vaguely found some directions, but he was not too sure. Orvisto's simple sentence was undoubtedly like a guiding light!
Orvisto added: "In the field of arcane arts, the knower is not omniscient, and the capable is omnipotent. Many things require in-depth cultivation to be specialized.

The kind of all-rounders and generalists in the enlightenment period have to be interlaced like mountains in the contemporary era of knowledge explosion.

Although they are very capable of learning, their time and energy are still limited after all.

If you research across multiple fields by yourself, you may not be able to make something famous. If you communicate and cooperate with your classmates and friends, you may gain something. "

Hearing that there is a priority in teaching, and there is a reason to specialize in art, Roland naturally understands.

He expressed his thanks again.

Before ending the conversation, Orvisto told Roland that there are some precious books that are not available downstairs, and if you want to read them in the future, you can come up and read them.

In addition, the bottle of wine that was opened before can also be taken home to drink slowly.

"That's right." Orvisto said again, "In the future, you don't need to call me unfamiliar like the Archmage, you can just call me teacher."

Roland was slightly stunned, and when he came to his senses, he said happily, "Yes, teacher!"

Theoretically speaking, everyone admitted to this mage tower is a student of Orvisto, and they can all call him a teacher.

However, the establishment of this kind of intimate relationship between teachers and students cannot be maintained solely by the law of Arterine, and it depends on the parties involved.

You have to be recognized by him to be eligible.

……

"Roland, someone saw you go to the 9th floor, Lord Orvisto summoned you?"

Roland left the 9th floor and returned to his residence with a bit of emotion.

The hourglass-shaped magic circle that sensed the approach of the mage had just been activated, and a screen-casting light curtain appeared in the sky. It was Skodder leaving a message to himself through the network in the tower.

"Just a quick question about what's going on."

Roland responded in a low-key manner.

"Roland, what does the ninth floor look like?"

Yiwen also turned into a curious baby and sent a message.

"It's hard to describe in a few words, but it's definitely a great place."

The group they were in was the circle of friends with Froya as the core, and the conversation between the few people quickly aroused the interest of the seniors, who interrupted and asked questions.

Roland thought of something, so he set up a group privately, and pulled in two students of the same grade, Skold and Yi Wen.

"Hey, what's the matter, do you have anything to say in private?"

Scudder is not really stupid, although he often has clear-eyed stupidity.

"There is indeed something. I don't know how much you know about Oracle."

"During this period of time, I read your graduation thesis and the manuscript of the second one, so I have a little understanding."

"Then, what do you think of its magical prospects?"

"The magic of language and text includes the exploration of runes, abstract concepts, and resonance rates. In short, it is to cast spells by exploring the signifiers between symbols and meanings. This topic is still a bit broad. Yes, I don't know which aspect you are referring to?"

"Oracle bone inscriptions are characters. Of course, we start with rune culture. Is there a possibility to apply it to spell scrolls?"

"Looks like it should work...

However, if you really want to do that, there is no need to use it completely in a hurry. First, find the numerals and nouns that are available in all kinds of characters and substitute them, which should simplify the transcription process. "

What Skold is referring to is like saying one, two, three in Chinese, one, two, three in English, and 123 in Arabic numerals, all of which can be equated in the "meaning" level of arcane arts.

The transcription of the spell scroll used these mysteries to a certain extent.

However, although the principle is simple, when it comes to practical applications, it is necessary to consider the tense, part of speech, singular and plural, writing format, magic method, etc. of different languages ​​and characters.

Roughly equivalent to the difference between boiling water and generating electricity from a nuclear power plant.

Of course, it is not so easy for the two of them to come up with some tricks, but they have gradually understood some principles of hydropower and thermal power.

Satisfied with Scudder's answer, Roland threw out a long-prepared proposal: "Let's cooperate. You provide the application technology of the scroll, and I provide related support from Oracle."

"Hey? That's really great! To tell you the truth, I have already considered this matter, but I don't have a subject for the time being, so I don't know how to speak."

Roland said again: "Yi Wen also join in, you are a genius in translation, you can help us."

Yiwen asked in surprise, "I'm joining too?"

Roland said: "Of course."

It stands to reason that this time there is actually not much use for translation.

But there are only three of them in this year's freshmen, so they can't leave her alone, can they?
Sophistication of the world is also a part of arcane art.
