Arcane Linguist

Chapter 26 Transcription Scroll Improvement
"Yiwen, what's the matter with your title of expert, you even receive special allowance!"

"Yes...it was recommended by the academy."

"Don't exaggerate too much, this thing is not so easy to get even among high-level mages."

Froya covered her forehead, looking a bit unacceptable.

These new students are monsters.

"My classmates are geniuses."

Roland sighed.

Not only Yi Wen, who received a special allowance, but even Skold, who seemed to have a small amount of funds, should not be underestimated.

After all, the amount of funding is just a reference, and the days to come are still long.

After applying for funding, the matter of opening a topic is considered to be successfully completed.

Because the special funds were approved quickly, they simply discussed on the spot and drew up a list of needed materials.

Among them, more than a dozen spell scrolls, some special paper needed to make spell scrolls, magic ink and other things can be obtained inside the mage tower.

"This is very convenient. If it were replaced by the dark dynasty where wizards ruled, we might have to go out to do missions, and it would take ten and a half months to start the experiment."

Scudet couldn't help sighing.

"At that time, not only other towers will come to grab resources, but the seniors in this tower will also have to intrigue and kill each other."

"I'll stick around to protect you." Roland squinted and smiled.

"Come on, you will be the most dangerous guy at that time!" Froya complained.

Magic experiments cost money, and the cost is not low.

Like the low-level spell scrolls they applied for, the value ranges from 10 gold coins to 150 gold coins. The experiment process may involve the alteration of some elements, and it will be invalid when it is used up.

各种附带「抄写术」的一次性羽毛笔，1银币3支（价值3.5铜币/35铜元），只能运作10至15分钟。

Special ink and paper cost 1 to 10 gold coins, and you can choose according to the actual situation.

It is normal to spend dozens of gold coins on such essential consumables in a day, which is worth the monthly expenses of low-level adventurers (including supplies, equipment maintenance, eating meat and drinking, entertainment, etc.) etc.).

No wonder it is said that the profession of a mage costs money,

After a while, the three bid farewell to Froya and came to another place, which was the application laboratory.

Because of the approval, this small magic laboratory located in 8008 is temporarily at their disposal.

It has an area of ​​about 100 square meters, and the interior decoration has become an antique light-colored wood grain tone, filled with a fresh aroma similar to a mixture of lavender and mint, which is relaxing.

In the center of the laboratory is a huge stone table, with a row of tables and chairs on each side, and various materials and utensils are piled up.

Most of these are prepared for copying scrolls or depicting magic runes. The innermost wall facing the gate is a row of large bookcases, which contain some reference books in related fields, including various magic runes. Text memos, dictionaries, and dictionary-like tools.

The three put the things they had applied for on the big table in the middle, moved a few chairs over, and held a brief meeting here.

"You all know the reason for this group experiment, but I'd like to talk about it here to sort out my thoughts."

In order to facilitate subsequent inspections, Scudder also specially performed a transcription technique to record what Roland said.

"As we all know, language and magic are highly related, and some special words are magical when written on paper. This is called magic resonance in the field of arcane research.

If this resonance effect can be utilized through special materials and specific writing methods, it will be able to store the power of magic and realize scroll casting.

Conversely, it can also be considered that if a certain language and writing can achieve this level, it has the potential to be magical, and thus gradually accepted by magical civilization.

What lies ahead of us is an unknown road ahead, of course we can’t explore it all at once, but according to basic linguistic principles, language symbols are arbitrary, and the magic runes written on spell scrolls should be replaceable and replaceable .

All we have to do is to find these runes that can be replaced, and try to use Oracle as much as possible.

This, is to explore the magical 'meaning' it points to. "

"Then what should we do specifically? According to what we discussed before, should we start with specific rune units such as numerals and nouns?"

"That's right. Take the 0-level spell Light as an example. Both the spell and the rune contain the word 'light'. By comparing the operation of different runes, we can roughly deduce the resonance rate of the corresponding word in the oracle bone inscription.

We don't have expensive instruments like high-level mages, or have any secret techniques to assist research, and even have limited funds, so we can only delineate such a narrow scope for research.

In terms of specific division of labor, I will personally select suitable words and convert them into runes. Yiwen can try to help me translate the magic words on various scrolls, as well as conduct tests and statistics after casting spells.Skold, you will be responsible for transcribing the scrolls and conducting spellcasting experiments.

Above, there is no problem. "

"no problem."

"Well, I now announce that the research on the magicization of oracle bone inscriptions and the improvement of transcription scrolls has officially begun!"

At this time, Roland remembered the magic wand worth at least 1000 gold coins presented to him by the Archmage Orvisto, and took it out of the pocket at his waist.

In the culture of Arterine, Staff and Wands are actually two different things, with different types and grades, but for the sake of convenience, the arcane world simply confuses them.

Linguistically, this kind of mixed use is similar to language, characters, Chinese, Chinese characters, Chinese, etc. The public does not have the patience to understand the differences between them, and the meanings are entangled, so that they gradually become false, corrupted, or In some contexts it is equated by convention.

As for Roland's understanding, this thing probably belongs to guns and guns, and the magic power is bullets.

"Hey, Roland, this wand is not bad!" Scudder knew the goods, and couldn't help admiring.

"Hey." Roland didn't say much, just shaking.

I am full of Rhinemord, happy every day.

Wand of Scholar's Zeal...

No, happy scholar, knock!

In an instant, a wonderful feeling flooded my whole body.

Roland felt a faint spiritual light enveloped him, similar to excitement, full of hunger and thirst.

This is a bit like the immersion state of "flow". Not only the learning motivation and concentration have been greatly improved, but also the memory and comprehension have also increased...

"I love learning! I love research!"

"No one can stop me from pursuing the true meaning of arcane arts!"
