Arcane Linguist

Chapter 265 The great and merciful Dialos is very happy
Donglina Mage Tower, in Huangliang Yimeng Laboratory.

The mysterious light as cold as water circulates, and the high-magic plasma condensed by the resonance of Mana is like a fairy jumping joyfully in the air, dreamy and ethereal.

All around, dynamic Siris runes shimmered, as if they were telling ancient stories that no one knew existed.

These runes are condensed from the magic pool connected to the mage tower. They are like liquid water floating in the air, showing mirages and mirages of dreams and bubbles from time to time.

"Don't be nervous. It may hurt a little at first, but after a while you get used to it and it will be very comfortable."

Roland sat in front of the fixed bed where the subject was placed, gently squeezed Princess Rosa's hand and comforted her gently.

The people around him didn't look sideways, each busy with their own things.

They were so busy that even if Roland said some earthy love words about "missing you at night", they didn't have time to pay attention.

Until everything was ready, someone came to report to Roland: "Your Excellency Roland, it's time to start."

Roland then stood up, nodded, and watched as the placement bed slowly entered the large magic instrument.

Nowadays, this kind of magic is not well-known, and the rich people from other worlds have not traveled far and wide to introduce it. For the time being, the great nobles of Lena's world are the first to get it.

Princess Rosa immediately applied to participate, striving to enjoy the convenience brought by this arcane breakthrough as soon as possible.

Roland considered that he still needed to use her in many places, so he used his privileges to make arrangements, and even took care of them himself to prevent accidents.

After more than 30 minutes.

The sound of the magic instrument's operation stopped. In the isolation area created by the magic circle, the magic power fluctuations slowly disappeared, and the sense of mana resonance caused by the dream also receded.

Princess Rosa walked out with a look of sadness on her face.

"How do you feel?" Roland stepped forward and asked.

"Sure enough, it's amazing. I now have a lot more knowledge related to the Seris language in my mind, and I have begun to understand it and master it proficiently."

“Right now, this technology is constantly iterating, and everyone at this tower is working together to optimize and improve it, and it seems to be quite effective.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that you already have Siris Level [-] or above. "

After a conversation, Roland asked Princess Rosa to go out to rest first, while he led the academy troops to continue research and analysis.

Every time you cast a spell like this, it’s an opportunity to continue iterating and optimizing.

So much money has been spent, but it cannot be wasted.

"Speaking of which, integrating production and marketing and promoting learning through production can be regarded as entering a positive cycle. If it is run well, it is entirely possible to achieve a state of being responsible for its own profits and losses!"

At present, conducting such experiments in the tower requires subsidies from the Arcane Committee, but the next goal Roland plans to achieve is to be able to pay for itself.

This can also become the unique spell-casting service of this tower and generate some income.

……

On the experimental table in the center, there are some strange-looking instruments, which are arcane research equipment of the magic school brought by the wizards in the tower from Atrein. They are unheard of and unseen in Reiner's world.

The light pipes connecting these instruments are criss-crossed, like the silk threads of the spider goddess priest's nest, spreading to the deepest part of the laboratory.

Gallo sat there, with a huge magic crystal ball floating quietly above his head in a half-empty and half-real form, with many runes flashing inside.

That is an important tool used by mages to observe and record, the "Arcane Brain" (similar to a computer terminal?).

The results of many previous arcane experiments have been transformed into knowledge that can be identified by rational analysis.

Piero watched all this silently. Although he had already understood this fact, it was not until this moment that he used the real knowledge he could understand to personally measure the gap between his country and his suzerain country.

While feeling silently, Piero discovered that his teacher seemed a little dissatisfied.

After a long time, he spoke with a gloomy expression and gave an order.

"Starting tomorrow, the slave souls will be extracted and used for injection experiments!"

Piero was shocked.

"Teacher, are you going to follow the ancient path?"

Gallo said solemnly: "First use this method to get a batch of finished products."

Although there was no arcane magic in ancient times, magic was also very developed. From the Age of Witchcraft to the Age of Magic to the present, a variety of spells that utilize the spirit and soul are available, playing a decisive role in their respective fields.

One of its uses is the so-called "soulless" printing press.

As early as the era of wizards, it has been discovered that the souls of some creatures can be used to replace the meaning of magic.

Scrolls and other objects made by extracting souls as materials can meet the needs of use to a certain extent.

What?You say that printed matter produced by industrial means has no soul, and that it requires great alchemist work to give it magical meaning?
Open your eyes and take a closer look. Is there a soul in this?

Such spells were once widely used, and even artificial life, one of the ultimate mysteries of alchemy, could be completed with it.

But after the empire established by the wizards collapsed, many key technologies were lost, and many slave races and colonial countries that had been used as materials also resisted one after another. The wizards suffered cruel retaliation.

The Magic Empire learned its lesson and completely cut off the large-scale use of these spells.

In a sense, the path of arcana that Atrein is currently taking, the path of pursuing the true knowledge of objective laws, elements, and matter, is the completely opposite path of witchcraft that originated from the Gnosis School.

If we regard the arcana of the universe as science, then this kind of thing contains more or less elements of ignorance and backwardness.

As a high-level arcanist, Gallo certainly knows this.

But now he is facing multiple pressures from the arcana, the school, and the financial backers behind the scenes, and he has to seek this method.

“No matter what, let’s get the finished product done first.

The yield rate of the previous batch of test results was really unsatisfactory. "

That being said, Gallo has seen and heard many of the consequences of arcane misconduct, and he is not stupid enough to falsify data or use other fraudulent means.

He said to Piero: "This is just an attempt to explore the combination of witchcraft and arcana.

Wait until these results come out, and then change other routes for comparison. "

He didn't think that the people on the Arcane Committee couldn't see his little thoughts, but they used a reason that could be put on the table.

As for arcane exploration, of course you should try various routes.

As expected, everything went well.

When the time came a few months later, when winter began to enter Lena's world again, the results of the scroll transformation of Silena's mage tower were already impressive.Thanks to the unswerving support of the funders behind the scenes, although his project failed to apply for enough funds from the Arcane Committee, it still had sufficient funds and sufficient materials.

Coupled with the fact that the school and himself had a solid background, he was able to successfully produce some results related to soul witchcraft.

The most important of them is a terrible witchcraft called "soul-stealing".

According to rumors, dark wizards have spells that can capture the souls and memories of their opponents, which can be used as a means to strengthen themselves.

That kind of magic is "soul-stealing".

When Gallo pieced together such a result from multiple experiments, he was quite surprised.

Because this kind of magic was completely lost thousands of years ago, and no one can really master it anymore.

This is not only caused by the powerful attack of the Magic Empire, but also by the passage of time, and many ancient technologies have been eliminated.

Modern mages have long been able to create artificial life and artificial intelligence, and they can also transform themselves into immortal monsters through some techniques that favor mechanical wizards.

It is true that some things have been lost, but at the same time it can also be said to have been eliminated by the times.

But he still recreated this spell.

Gallo squinted his eyes and looked at the results of his deduction calculations. He was not sure for a moment whether this was a genuine "soul-stealing technique".

"But regardless of whether it is a genuine "soul-stealing technique" or not, my result is definitely better than the ancient version! "

Gallo pondered secretly and judged with the confidence of a high-level arcanist.

Magic is developing and times are progressing. He does not overestimate this knowledge.

But he was temporarily troubled as to what to do with this unexpected result.

"Report it truthfully and submit it to the Arcane Committee. There seems to be no results to comment on.

If you don't report it, it won't be of any practical use. "

That's right, for a high-level arcanist like Gallo, this kind of spell can be called very useless.

Although in theory, it can capture the soul and consciousness of living creatures and absorb the wisdom of others for its own use.

At first glance, it looks like it can become very powerful.

But in fact, it can be used at the stage of medium and low magic.

Because there are limits to the soul and consciousness of life, without the source of magic in a high-magic environment, many operations on the soul and consciousness will become a loss.

This will bring many negative effects.

And if you target mages of the same level for plunder, it will be accompanied by great risks.

It's like some adventurers doing quests, making little profit from trivial things, and wasting more time and energy.

And if you rush to slay a dragon or conquer a powerful monster, you will definitely end up with a narrow escape, which is extremely dangerous.

The confrontation between soul and consciousness is very sensitive, and he does not think it is a wise choice for a high-level mage to use such a thing.

Fortunately, in addition to high-level mages, there are also a lot of apprentices in the mage tower.

He simply recruited Piero and others to pass on this magic.

Because it was an ancient forbidden technique, Gallo hid the origin of this thing. He only said that it was private knowledge that he had rewarded them with, and did not report it to Atrein.

Although this kind of private giving and receiving is sometimes clearly illegal, in the world of high-level mages, it is actually very common.

Because high-level mages are the ones who make the rules, they will not be easily bound by the rules.

But what Gallo didn't expect was that after Piero obtained this spell, he turned around and took advantage of his vacation to temporarily leave the mage tower and come to a residence in the lower city outside the city.

He comes from a humble background, and his desire for knowledge and power is far greater than that of his classmates in the tower. In fact, he had already come into contact with some powers outside of Atrein as early as last year.

In the dark secret room, the lamps and candles of the underground altar were lit one by one by his own hands. Along with the smell of moldy dust brought by the lack of ventilation for a long time, a simple altar built of ancient stone slabs appeared.

This altar is engraved with words from purgatory. Among the strange symbols that look like sheep's hooves or fangs and horns, a light as dark as blood emanates, with a faint smell of fire and sulfur.

When Piero touched his palm, there was even a dark red flame that burst into flames, and then quickly subsided.

This phenomenon, which is like an electric surge, indicates that the source of magic here is extremely active, and it is a special connection between the plane channels.

Only those places that receive the attention of high-level devils, or have very strategic geographical locations, and are carefully contacted and maintained by people, can accumulate such strong hell power.

Piero expressionlessly took out various sacrifices from the dimensional bag, including sulfur, bone meal, human brain marrow, and a large handful of dark red crystals that were suspected of being blood crystals.

Then, in front of a strange flame that floated like a skeleton, he recited the summoning spell with a low voice and a strange rhythm: "Ομεγλορχοντατηκλαση, οβασίλίτωνδαίμνων, οκυβερντητητυραννακαίτηκαταστροφ, Δεπαρακ "

Amidst the inexplicable changes in light and shadow, a low voice with a hint of cunning came from the flaming skull.

"Mortal, what's the matter with you?"

"I have found a new trade item, and I want an equal exchange!"

"Oh? What is it this time, the lifespan of your classmate, the soul of your friend, or something else?
The great and kind Dialos is not an old man who collects rags. He just collected things out of boredom before, and he will not collect them a second time..."

The voice said slowly with a hint of teasing.

"What I want to trade is knowledge, the real high-level knowledge from Atrein!"

"Little mage, you have such a big voice...huh?"

The voice was a bit careless at first, but as Piero stretched his hand through the ring of fire and placed a parchment recording arcane knowledge in the void, and the strange shadow of a scale appeared, he gradually stopped talking. .

After a long time, the tone on the other side became pleasant.

"Very well, the great and merciful Dialos is very happy and has decided to grant you the true status of emissary...

And, my strength and wisdom! "

The flaming skull laughed strangely, suddenly grew in size, and rushed towards Piero.

"what!"

Piero let out a scream and subconsciously took a few steps back, but found that the flame not only did not cause harm to him, but also attached to his body in a strange way, and soon turned into a mark and fell silent.
