Arcane Linguist

Chapter 250 The significance of the breakthrough in Power Word Technique

At the end of October, the second monthly exam came.

As the course gradually deepened, Roland appropriately adjusted the difficulty of the exam, and the types of questions that truly selected elites were explored.

He casually gave these apprentices from Reiner's World a difficult task.

"How could this happen? I...I lost the election!"

Bona's hands were trembling as he held the newly issued test paper in disbelief, his face full of doubts about life.

“Before, it was all multiple-choice questions that were fill-in-the-blank questions, but now the proportion of reading comprehension and article appreciation has increased a lot!
These are just the basics of Chinese language classes. When it comes to the field of magical runes and spells, it is even more difficult..."

"How on earth did those perverts pass the exam?"

Several other former elite apprentices also felt deep despair, and had great doubts deep in their hearts.

It was only then that many people suddenly discovered the differences between people...

Probably bigger than humans and dogs!

"I think it's okay. Apprentices these days are proficient in eighteen languages ​​when they graduate. Isn't that a basic requirement?"

If someone doesn't open the pot, pick up the pot.

"Shut up and get out!"

Everyone was annoyed.

I've only been in school for two months and I can't keep up. How will I spend the next few years?
Bona held his head in pain.

He seemed to have seen his gloomy life.

"No, it seems that we need to invest more, and we are considering using some alchemy potions and the like to assist.

"Scholar's Zeal", "Wisdom Potion", "Sleepless Man's Blessing", "Concentration Potion"...

Various common or uncommon, formal or irregular potions, scrolls, spells...

There is always something that works! "

"By the way, you can also hire a mage to cast "Saerysian" and "Spoken Words" on yourself! "

"If these methods are used to study, they are not considered cheating, right?"

These things are quite valuable to Reiner's world.

But as the upper echelons of this world, they still have the opportunity to contact them.

It's just that the money and price spent may be several times higher than that of Master Atline.

On the other side, Diego and the others, who have always worked hard and are talented, are pleased to see another improvement in their Chinese language scores.

Their Siris language proficiency had reached a certain level, and they quickly got on the right track and adapted to the difficult rhythm brought by Roland.

As for the magic part, as the top talents of a country's elite gathering, the performance of these people did not disappoint Roland.

Taken together, the results are excellent.

Roland began to teach them poetry and prose, so as to cultivate their grammar, semantics and ability to choose words and sentences.

The foundation they had learned in the past once again worked satisfactorily, making their learning progress rapid.

This is basically the level of mastery of Seris language above Level [-].

As a non-native speaker of an alien magic apprentice, it is very worthy of boasting to be able to reach this point so quickly. After all, in the previous life of Blue Star, the vast majority of non-Chinese major college students were at this level.

In fact, with Roland's careful teaching and the high intelligence bonus of extraordinary power, he will soon reach the level of the professional department.

Even Roland was amazed by this.

"I thought that Mr. Zhao Yuanren in his previous life was a top-notch language genius that was rare to see in a hundred years. But now it seems that although he is still a rare existence, he is not so unique..."

Zhao Yuanren was a famous linguist, musician and philosopher in the 20th century. He had a linguistic genius and was proficient in multiple languages ​​and dialects.

According to data, Mr. Zhao Yuanren is considered to be one of the important pioneers of modern Chinese linguistics. He has mastered multiple languages ​​and dialects, including 33 Chinese dialects, and is proficient in English, German, French, Japanese, Russian, Greek, Latin, etc. Many foreign languages, but a well-deserved language genius.

It is worth mentioning that this man wrote the famous strange article "Shi's History of Eating Lions" later on the Internet.

In the early 20th century, Chinese civilization encountered changes unprecedented in thousands of years. As the West opened the country with its powerful ships and artillery, Western culture was also introduced in a forceful and civilized manner. Some people advocated total Westernization and the abolition of Chinese characters.

This claim believed that Chinese characters were the root cause of China's backwardness, which caused considerable controversy and discussion at the time.

Against this background, Mr. Zhao Yuanren wrote an article entitled "History of Shishi's Lion Eating", aiming to oppose the idea of ​​abolishing Chinese characters.

"History of Shi's Lion-Eating" is a homonymous article. Only the sound "shi" is used in the whole text, but it contains dozens of different Chinese characters. Through rearrangement and arrangement, a complete article is formed.

This article cleverly uses the sounds and meanings of Chinese characters to describe the story of a man named Shi trying to eat a lion.

A similar text with homophones is "Ji Ji Fighting the Chicken", which was also written by this gentleman.

The original intention of Mr. Zhao Yuanren in writing this article has different reasons in the eyes of different people. Some say it is to prove the absurdity brought about by the phoneticization of Chinese characters, while others say it is a supporter of the phoneticization of Chinese characters and proves the possibility of the phoneticization of Chinese characters.

However, Roland believes that this article demonstrates Mr. Zhao Yuanren’s linguistic wisdom and literary talent. Through a unique language game, it challenges the use and cognitive boundaries of Chinese characters. At the same time, it also triggers people’s thinking and reflection on Chinese character culture, and He made an important contribution to promoting the birth of modern Chinese Pinyin.

It is not easy to achieve such an achievement without being a genius and well-read.

Sometimes I have to admit that the wise man knows this sentence from birth, and it is correct.

What made Roland feel gratified and satisfied was that at least seven or eight geniuses of this level were born among his students.

This is by no means an accident, but a manifestation of the law of large numbers.

……

While Roland was feeling emotional, the apprentices were also deeply shocked.

Linguistics should focus on grammar, semantics, phonetics, intonation, sound changes, etc.

But regarding the part about the language itself, they can see the bottom of it, while the part about Chinese culture and historical and cultural heritage is becoming more and more unfathomable.

Mr. Roland, how terrifying!
Especially after comparing with other mentors who are also high-level mages, this feeling is even more obvious.

This earned Roland their sincere admiration and respect.

It has nothing to do with wealth, identity, status, and all other things that come from outside the body.

Completely, rely on knowledge and culture.

They are both lucky and unfortunate to have such teachers, because they immediately understand that they will never be able to match them throughout their lives.

In order to learn more knowledge, they had to seek some additional auxiliary means, such as the "Scholar's Enthusiasm" spell that Orvisto recommended Roland to use to refresh their minds and increase their efficiency.

At the same time, some learning experiences from Roland's previous life also came in handy.

Under Roland's recommendation, they adopted some structural architecture that can decouple knowledge and show logical relationships, so as to better break down the research project into specific knowledge points one after another and conquer them.

In this way, a few more months passed, and before I knew it, it was the end of the year.

Prince Silaire, whom Roland had been following, finally passed the monthly exam in December and met the criteria to become an elite apprentice.

Due to the rules set by himself, he has never admitted him as an exception, but he has opened a small stove in private and has extra care.This time he finally crossed the line, and he found an opportunity, so he justifiably accepted him as his disciple.

What surprised Roland was that Bona, who had been stained before, actually crossed the line.

He used a magic potion called "The Blessing of the Sleepless One" and combined it with the "Focus Potion" to study continuously 24 hours a day and catch up in just one month.

Haoxuansuan has successfully reached a truly elite level.

"The magical world is full of wonders."

At first Roland thought that he had researched some new way of cheating, so he sent someone to investigate secretly, but after learning the truth, he couldn't help but remain silent.

Good job is rewarded!

The result was finally admitted.

Using these methods is different from cheating on exams, because they can really increase knowledge and gain promotion, while the latter is a deceptive fraud.

In the arcane realm, food is the original sin.

That's it.

However, he understood that these potions might have a certain backlash on the user's spirit and intelligence, so he gave a serious warning not to use them too much.

Ordinary people regard it as a temporary assault and a way to stay up late to assist research.

Bona has been using it for more than a month, and he can be considered a ruthless person.

……

Atlétic calendar, January 10028.

Previously, the "Research on the Magicalization of Siris Pinyin" co-signed by Roland and Runifusi has been edited several times and has been turned into a formal arcane result.

And now, with the arrival of the New Year, it has once again become a new hot topic in the editorial department of "Magic".

This is because the spells involved in this paper have gradually spread among many mages, and have long been demonstrated and recognized, and have become new spells.

Everyone discussed the technical details without reservation, and even explored other mantras based on it, and came up with some results one after another.

But in comparison, the more important news is that the deduction of Level 4 Power Words was a great success.

"This is not just the success of one or two power words, but the success of the entire series of Siris power words!

I have found a mode of chanting that matches the lyrics of Siris' poetry, giving them a whole new 'meaning'.

To put it bluntly, it is a new type of metamagic technique that can automatically deduce more advanced Siris Power Words as one's own magic power increases.

And, it works across the entire range! "

Runives expressed her excitement to Roland in the email.

"I plan to continue working on the 7th level Power Word model.

However, spells of this level can already affect the surrounding world and change the environment to a certain extent, which requires mobilizing more power of nature.

Ordinary mantras can no longer be improved.

I hope to see if some words that naturally have higher-level meanings, such as "death", "pain", and "destruction", can produce relevant results. "

"I also agree with your idea. People will naturally attach strong emotions to these words and place more rich meanings on them.

It is natural to create high-level power words based on this topic. "

Roland encouraged him, and then he tried it with great interest, and it really suited his Siris spell.

This feeling is like converting the accent of some foreigners into the standard Chinese TV broadcast accent.

It’s so cool to eat iced watermelon on the dog days of summer!

It was as if he had opened up the Ren and Du channels. After just a few days of understanding, he had mastered all the Siris Mantra techniques that he had not broken through before to the level 4 stage. Even levels 5 and 6 began to have some impact. .

Indeed, as Runifusi said, as long as the magic power is in place and some adaptation of skills, it can be used smoothly!
The outside world is also very excited about this and speaks highly of it.

"Ms. Runifusi's invention is equivalent to finding the 'spell solution' to Siris's power of power... At least level 0~6 is no longer an obstacle!"

"Learn once and benefit for life. It is simply a top-notch achievement that comes at no cost!"

"I strongly recommend that everyone master the power of Siris's Power Word. This thing is really useful!"

These praises are not flattering because Runeves is an archmage and Roland is a rising arcane star.

For those arrogant Alterian mages, only really useful arcane achievements are worthy of their treatment.

What is somewhat unexpected is that the person who benefits the most from this result is not Atrein itself.

There is no other reason. Atlain possesses too many arcane achievements.

Every mage who graduates will face thousands of choices.

Whether you explore it in terms of language, school of thought, or various research directions and fields, the substitutability is extremely high.

It’s good that Siris’s power of power has achieved a key breakthrough. It’s easy to learn without any effort, and it’s quite meaningful…

But it's like the original millionaire getting an unexpected windfall.

Although it's nice to be happy about, it only helps so much.

On the contrary, Reiner World seemed to open the door to a new world at once, which was of great benefit.

"Serys Power Word actually has such benefits?"

"Benefit without any expense, skillfully cast magical techniques...the efficiency of mastering these spells has been greatly improved!"

"Serys's power word now has the results of level 0~3 spells such as "concentration", "shock", "retreat", "blind", "sleep", "slow", "bind", "trap", etc., along with As the tide rises, all boats will be lifted, and it is possible to naturally reach level 6. And with the research and development of other school members, more new results will be released, and the entire system will be improved at once..."

how to say...

After attending a junior college, I was promoted to undergraduate degree without realizing it, and it even became a priority?
Although my academic qualifications are still the same and will not be improved, the teaching staff, financial support, external reputation, etc. are completely different.

It’s almost like I woke up laughing from my dream!
What surprised Diego, Bona and other apprentices even more was that such spell-casting skills could be used on another spell invented by Roland, "The Secret Blessing of Six Armors"!
This is a gain spell that can improve attributes.

Initially, at level 0, there was only a +1 improvement in physical, agility and strength. Then, when it was deduced to level 1, intelligence, charm, and perception were also improved, with all attributes +1.

Now, it seems possible to improve it even further.

For example, all attributes +2, or intelligence +3, or even +4!
Similar spells can add 4 special attributes, which is a level only available for level 2 spells.

Since the single attribute of intelligence can be like this, strength or agility are naturally not a problem either.

It’s only a matter of time before research comes out.

More importantly, this series of spells are currently not on the export restriction list, and there are no restrictions on making spell scrolls, providing spell casting services, etc.

If done properly, a large number of them could be introduced on the pretext of replacing Art Lain for magic experiments, and they could even get a certain degree of policy support.

This is the logic of industrial transfer!
