Arcane Linguist

Chapter 271
January 10030, 1 in the Atlétic calendar.

Outside the Master's Pagoda, it is cold in spring, but inside the Master's Pagoda, the warm fragrance is like incense.

Roland slept until he woke up naturally. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a body as soft as a cat pressing against him.

"Ok?"

Roland pulled back the quilt with a hint of confusion, and then realized that the person inside was Atali.

(!!! Some words were deleted. I am frustrated and lacking inspiration. I won’t make up for it. Please use your imagination to make up for it.)
……

Because Atali was shy and refused to come out of the bedroom together, Roland could only enjoy breakfast alone. However, before he could take a few bites, the tower spirit's prompt sounded from above.

"Dear Lord Roland, the Council has informed you that all members will gather on the 8th floor at 00:20 for a meeting. Please be sure to attend on time..."

"Meeting so early?"

Roland put the soft white bread into his mouth with a little doubt.

Although the notification was calm, he still faintly tasted something unusual from it.

Soon after, Roland came to the 20th floor of the Mage Tower and saw some familiar faces.

"Morella, are you here too?"

The arrival of this council member who was assigned to Silena Mage Tower and other high-level mages made a certain premonition in his heart even stronger.

As expected, Gallo and others appeared later, confirming his guess.

The high-level mages from Silena all arrived overnight through the "Group Teleportation Technique".

As other people arrived one after another, the meeting hall gradually became lively.

Everyone was greeting old friends and colleagues who knew each other, but found that some people did not show up.

For example, Blaise.

There are also some people who have served in the battle mage sequence.

"And Lord Bolas!"

"Looking at this situation, Archmage Bolas should have brought some people with combat experience out."

"The situation is urgent, and the situation is not optimistic..."

"Yes, although the mage army has been downsized, there are still enough battle mages. It is definitely unusual to recruit high-level mages from the tower to serve as teachers."

Strictly speaking, this is not a good choice.

Since the arcane reform, Atline has long since separated the research and combat professions, but now it has to pull out some mages from the mage tower.

This means that there are powerful and dangerous enemies that threaten the safety of the Mage Tower.

In order to stabilize the situation here, the arcanist has to take some risks.

Everyone was guessing and saw Master Watson arriving with a few people.

He looked solemn and looked around, and everyone became quiet.

"Last night, a particularly serious attack occurred at the Governor's Mansion on the outskirts of Savalan. 23 Lena students who had returned from Atrein were killed on the spot. More than 100 people were injured. All members of the Battle Mage Squadron of the Mage Regiment were killed. Destroyed, Mr. Leon, the son of Lord Bolas... also died in battle!"

With a buzzing sound, the originally solemn and silent conference hall became noisy.

"how is this possible?"

"How could this be?"

"Where did such an enemy come from in Reiner's world?"

"It's incredible..."

Among this incident, what shocked them the most was undoubtedly the last mention of Leon's death in battle.

To put it bluntly, the death of a hundred ordinary mages was far too late to shock them as much as one high-level mage.

Because things that can threaten ordinary mages are far from threatening them, but things that can threaten other high-level mages can threaten them.

The impact brought by the two is not at the same level at all.

And who is Mr. Leon?

He is currently the Atrein Ambassador to Reiner.

He is the head of the Governor's Palace and Embassy.

Heir to the Cowlans family.

He is the son of Lord Bolas, the "Crown of Thorns" known for his iron-blooded tactics and super strength!
This marshal-level battle order mage retired from the Mage Legion three years ago, and his intimidating power in Reiner's world is unparalleled.

The person who was able to break into the Governor's Mansion and cause this incident would definitely not know anything about Leon's identity.

It was even very possible that he was going specifically for him.

Those Lena elites who studied in Atrein, were sent back after completing their studies, and had close ties with the embassy, ​​most likely suffered the same fate.

Because there is no need to choose to assassinate them. At this time, the defense of the Governor's Mansion and the security force around Leon are far from being comparable to other social and entertainment occasions such as dances.

“This incident is a provocation by lawless elements against our Reiner Mage Group, and also a provocation against the entire Atrein.

Mr. Bolas has already led people there to deal with it. During this period, I ask everyone to stay vigilant, reduce unnecessary outings as much as possible, and do a good job in personal defense and security...

In addition, the two mage towers will provide combat ability training for arcanists. We will invite some battle mages who have retired from the battle order to teach you various practical experience...

All are required to attend and no absences are allowed. "

Well, things seem to be getting serious.

Art Lain has already realized the professional separation of arcane research and combat order. There is no so-called liberal arts division here, but there is a distinction between civil and military affairs.

In comparison, battle mages have a lower status, equivalent to actual soldiers on the battlefield.

Arcanists are scientists who explore the truth.

Although in the world of swords and magic, arcana is often directly equated with combat ability, under the modernized arcane system, it is indeed a bit unbelievable to force them to participate in such professional skills training.

"There must be some inside story that we don't know about. You can try asking Master Watson later. Maybe he knows something."

Lei reminded Roland in a low voice.

As the leader of the school and an alternate member, his weight is different from that of ordinary high-level mage.

Sure enough, after Master Watson announced things that ordinary mages should know, he ordered them to disband, but kept all the people at the alternate committee level.

Only in front of these real senior officials with higher authority did he reveal the inside story.

"The "Abyss Legion" appeared in this attack! "

""Legion of the Abyss"? "

This is a summoning spell of the conjuration system, level 9. In the magic network, it is a forbidden spell that is only allowed to be cast at the level of the Archmage (Arcane Committee).

Because it is a power exclusive to the chaotic evil camp, any neutral camp must be cautious about dealing with it.

But the crux of the problem is not a ninth-level spell or a ninth-level spell.

The level of a spell is sometimes not proportional to the learning difficulty or arcane principles.

Its evaluation criteria must also be linked to a series of other possible social impacts and harmfulness.The biggest key element of this spell is camp!

"People who are recognized in the chaotic evil camp are likely to be able to cast this spell without learning. Even low-level mages may sign a contract with the abyss lords and use their power to cast it.

But those abyss lords did not serve the summoners for no reason, but used them as anchors to locate the material world, launching invasion and destruction.

If there is no matching personality and strength, casting such a spell will simply work in reverse. "

"Indeed, no one in Reiner's world has ever mastered this kind of magic..."

Because before the invasion of Atrein, this world was controlled by the good god Tiniara, and he did not allow the Abyss Legion to make plans here.

Atrein will also not introduce the power of the abyss here.

But now, this power still appears.

The situation suddenly became complicated.

……

"It's true that the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. It has been temporarily peaceful for several years, but it is about to become chaotic again."

Roland had no way of knowing for a while what the truth behind this incident was.

But there is no doubt that this will affect many subsequent plans.

The world of Reiner, which might have been able to develop peacefully in peace and successfully become a demon, will embark on an unknown path.

"Mr. Roland, I heard that something happened in Savalan. I asked my father, but he didn't know much. Do you know any inside information?"

At noon, Princess Rosa received a summons and asked worriedly.

She also knew what was going on in Savalan.

This princess of Reiner's world is quite keen. She has broadened her knowledge by serving Roland for so many years.

She is fully capable of capturing some of the future development trends from these clues.

The conclusion reached is quite unfavorable to Reiner's world.

With a somewhat worried look on her face, she looked at Roland worriedly, hoping to get some inspiration from him.

"Don't worry, it won't affect the Mage Tower for the time being."

Roland knew that she was concerned about Reiner, but he could only comfort him like this.

Princess Rosa was obviously not satisfied with such an answer, but she had no way to say anything more and could only continue to deal with official duties in a depressed manner.

Seeing that this was not going to work, Roland took her to chat.

"Rosa, you must learn to control yourself and be calm during big events..."

Well, in fact, even he may not be able to achieve this kind of mentality.

But I can't stand the fact that Mr. Roland is famous and has status. Whatever he says is right.

“Some things have already happened, and we cannot change the past, so we can only seize the future.

The biggest impact of this incident is on Atrein. If you are really concerned, you should pay more attention to Atrein's reaction, and you should be able to gain something.

By the way, we may be launching combat sequence skills training here. If you are interested, you can come and participate.

Additionally, it’s time to arm yourself.

Try to get a set of all kinds of alchemy props, magic items, and equipment.

If you need anything, just tell me. "

Princess Rosa felt warm in her heart and nodded.

……

"My dear Arcanists, today I will provide you with practical combat experience training as a Battle Mage...

We battle mages may have far less understanding of magic than everyone here, but when it comes to knowledge outside of textbooks and practical experience, we are far richer than you.

Therefore, some of my next words may conflict with the knowledge you have come into contact with.

Don’t worry, I will answer these one by one and analyze them with practical cases. You can feel free to speak freely and put forward your opinions. "

The next day, in the mage tower, Roland and others immediately started emergency training.

So far, it is not their turn to help with the investigation of the attack case, but Atrein predicts that the impact of this incident will not end so easily, so they will focus on this response first.

The person who came to teach them was a mid-level officer in the mage army.

As for Roland, the teacher in this classroom is only fifth level, and his magic power is weaker than Roland's now. (I have already used "Dream Technique" to advance to the sixth level)

But in terms of actual combat experience, it is inferior to Roland and other arcanists.

The fact is as he said, what he described is very different from what he learned in class to a large extent.

But Roland listened with interest.

For example, theories such as "casting spells before the enemy", "strike beyond visual range", "asymmetric combat", etc. also coincide with some things from the previous firearms era.

In addition, there is also a very important point for arcanists like them, which is the so-called "fire suppression".

"You are all high-level mages with extremely strong combat potential. You can use a large amount of resources to configure various spell-casting abilities and complete the fire suppression mentioned earlier through props, magic pets and other means."

"It's true that in the era when magic was scarce, there was nothing that one shot of "Fireball" couldn't solve. If there was, then two shots. "

Roland spoke out the famous "Fireball Cult" declaration of Blue Star in his previous life.

Lei, Blaise and others cast contemptuous glances.

Those are all outdated theories.

"Indeed, "Fireball", "Magic Missile", etc. are all plastic spells, and their value at the tactical level is limited.

But there is a reason why they were so popular in the past.

Through a large number of actual combat case analyses, we have confirmed that these two spells are miraculous in specific situations.

To a certain extent, Mr. Roland’s remarks make sense! "

The battle mage's eyes lit up and he greatly appreciated Roland's words.

In this era where "prophecy," "transformation," and "teleportation" are practiced, it is not so easy to find a high-level mage who agrees with the Fireball Cult.

……

After some training, everyone felt that they had gained a lot.

Due to Atrein's attention, the level of battle mages who can be sent to give lectures is quite high.

They use high-level magic equipment and various resources, and their actual combat capabilities are comparable to high-level mages.

Therefore, these contents are also of great inspiration to them.

After returning to his residence, Roland suddenly received a summons from Princess Rosa.

"Mr. Roland, Mr. Gnobion said he has something to tell you!
He seems to know some inside information about the assassination and has important clues to provide! "
