Arcane Linguist

Chapter 273 The three-year period is approaching
Before I knew it, more than a month passed.

Terry City spent the first month of the New Year in a state of turmoil.

In the mage tower, in the department office.

"Roland, this kind of rune is really worth studying...

Just by writing words, you can create corresponding dreams. This is an advanced application of meaning!

I would like to call this great magical object the 'dream rune'. Of course, it borrows from your "dream spell" and uses this spell as the basis. It can be regarded as a dream wish spell...

As for the specific use, well, I don’t know yet, but it should be a good thing to be able to directionally specify dreams and allow ordinary people to achieve clearer lucid dreams. "

Well, just don't create a "Death Note".

Roland listened calmly to Dirente's explanation, which was full of excitement and spitting.

This person recently had an idea that he thought was great, and he is trying to combine the dream power of Siris Rune, the dream deduction method of Master Yisel, and the "real dream" power of the Hormir School to create a newer and stronger one. magic runes.

But arcane research requires funding and all kinds of support.

Whether the school can invest some resources here depends on Roland.

“The national funds I hold are awarded by the Arcane Committee and are specifically used for the development of Seris runes.

Although your application can have some influence, it is in another form. "

After Roland patiently listened to the other party's explanation, he thought for a while.

"Let's do this. I'll write you a letter of recommendation, and you can discuss it with Mr. Mobron from Capel Company.

Once you have achieved some success, you can apply for funding from the Arcane Committee through formal channels and gain both fame and fortune.

It's much easier to do things this way. "

"Huh? That's fine."

Although it was not funded by the state, it could be considered as getting the results I wanted.

Dillent left satisfied.

A few minutes later, Princess Rosa opened the door and reported: "Mr. Roland, Ms. Fornia, who just arrived from Atrein, wants to see you."

This is a mid-level mage who came to apply for a job as a lecturer at Seris Academy, with a fourth-level rank.

Although something happened here, the itinerary was decided several months or even more than a year ago, but the other party still rushed over.

It was impossible for Roland to disappear.

So he nodded and put on a decent expression.

"welcome."

Funding applications, research projects, arcane discussions, job applications...

It was already noon when all kinds of things were dealt with.

Roland did not feel tired, but was in good spirits, because just now, it was obvious that the Seris School had become stronger.

The legendary destiny in the dark gave him positive feedback.

At this moment, Lei and Blaise came.

"Roland, we want to discuss with you the academy competition in a few months."

"College competition?"

"Yes, two and a half years ago, the Mage Tower was newly built, and everyone agreed at the meeting to gather all the first batch of apprentices and put them together to compete.

This is the traditional way to check the quality of teaching, and it is also the basis for allocating the surplus of up to 800 million gold coins.

The above meaning is to simply give it to one of the parties as a reward. "

"These things are called education funds, but in fact, they are related to the welfare of many people. Even if they only take part of it and share it, everyone will be very happy, so the whole college has already worked hard to win it. .

Within this tower, among the major colleges, our Siris College is the fastest rising and the most outstanding. We have the right and the obligation to win such a competition on behalf of everyone, so we want to discuss it with you in advance. "

Roland looked solemn when he heard what the two said.

indeed.

This kind of competition is not only related to the allocation of 800 million funds, but also involves many other things.

He also wanted to win and completely establish a victory in the competition with the Autodocus School here.

……

While Roland, Lei and others were discussing, suddenly, a piece of news came.

"An assassination incident targeting Atrein citizens occurred in the downtown area of ​​Terry City, and an adventurer was injured..."

"What, are those people still struggling? Are the Dagur brothers so brave?"

Roland was a little surprised when he heard the news.

"Maybe it was to attract attention and involve our energy, but it did make the situation tense again."

Lei said helplessly.

Sure enough, a meeting was quickly held in the Master's Tower to reiterate everyone's travel and safety issues.

Roland took the opportunity to raise it at the meeting and asked Archmage Watson if he would continue to hold the previously agreed competition.

"In my opinion, it's better to just cancel the competition and divide the funds equally."

A mid-level mage who had little confidence in this tower suggested.

This view is truly supported by some people.

Anyway, 400 million gold coins is a lot, so it’s good to get it safely.

Someone else said: "That's what we say here, but others may not necessarily agree. Moreover, this funding is an incidental reward. The greater significance is to prove the quality of teaching and get more funding and project support..."

This is someone who is ambitious about their arcane career and wants to develop further.

If there are no topics and projects, it will take 10 years to get promoted to one level. There are some rigid requirements for promotion to intermediate and high-level. The professional title and salary after retirement are far different.

"I also think it's better to hold it as usual."

"Atline must also support holding it as usual, otherwise, people would think we are cowardly!"

"How can the majestic Master Atrein shrink in front of those rats hiding in the gutter?"

The Atrein people are proud, and when someone raises it to the level of national character and courage, the proposal to support holding the event as usual prevails.

Master Watson pondered, also weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

“The Dagur Brotherhood has been active recently, and there are many secret forces hiding in the dark that seem to have united.

Our Atrein activities here add a bit of danger.

But this may not be an opportunity to gather those forces together and catch them all in one fell swoop.

If done properly, the problem here can be completely solved. "

Roland was slightly surprised when he heard this.But when he heard this, he immediately understood that the higher-ups were quite afraid of Agates.

This is a top master who has successfully assassinated high-level mages many times. He is even a certain threat to the archmage.

In order to eliminate this threat, ordinary mages were used as bait.

What's more, are they just some graduated mages from Reiner's world?

……

After the meeting, Archmage Watson summoned Roland, Lei and other high-level mages to stay and have a small meeting, and indeed he vaguely mentioned some related issues.

After this, major media and newspapers in Reiner World, and even Atrein Mainland, suddenly reported the relevant matters in a high-profile manner, and even large forces such as the United Light Church, the High Goblin Airship Society, and the White Oak Consortium widely publicized it.

Various investment sponsorships came one after another.

This directly resulted in the original reward of 800 million becoming a thing of the past and rising to more than 1000 million and 2000 million.

Finally, it was suspended after a full amount of 2500 million.

In this way, the evenly distributed sound of Heguang Tongchen completely disappeared inside the two mage towers.

2500 million!
A full 2500!

If distributed equally, 1250 million would easily be lost.

How willing?

Maybe some people with a peaceful nature will think that it is not bad to increase the share from more than 400 million to more than 1000 million, but most human nature is still greedy.

Especially when both sides feel that they have a guaranteed victory and there is no need to compromise.

Even if you are willing to share it equally, others may not necessarily agree.

In this way, preparations in various aspects will be different.

And investing a lot of money, manpower and material resources to sharpen guns before battle, the expenses are as high as tens or millions. How can it be done without making money back?

This leads to the fact that we can only work hard and strive for victory!

At this time, there is only one last question left.

How to determine the specific competition situation?

The academy competition is a tradition in the wizarding world, a classic and old event.

From the Warcraft forest to the wild desert, from the gladiatorial competition to the tower climbing challenge, from descending into the abyss to climbing the holy mountain.

Spell combat, maze exploration, dungeon treasure hunting...

A one-on-one frontal arena, a large-scale showdown at the legion level...

Various venues and forms are played out.

There was even a ball game played in the air with wizards riding broomsticks!

As long as it can reflect the style of the magic school, demonstrate magic knowledge and mastery, and have a certain degree of competitiveness, it will be fine.

But the problem is, there are too many choices.

Arcane projects are all-encompassing and are far from the narrow thinking defined by actual combat capabilities in the Middle Ages.

If you focus exclusively on certain elements, the significance of testing will be lost.

Since the arcane reform, Atrein has paid great attention to this consideration.

At this time, the background and lobbying capabilities of both parties are revealed.

The mages from the two magistrate towers in East and West Lena each published articles on media platforms and talked about related matters.

Whether it is a long speech quoting scriptures or a perceptual statement without any structure, they are all manifestations of their respective influence.

Both the Serris School and Roland have changed from what they were in the past. Now Roland is no longer the unknown person who first published a paper on knowledge and was criticized by others.

He is now an alternate member of the Arcane Council, a high-ranking mage of Atrein, a winner of the Morning Star Award, a nominee for the Arcane Star, the leader of the Seris School, and a senior member of the Council of the East Lena Mage Tower. He is in charge of many Academy leaders in national projects and large grants…

There is no need for him to come forward at all, there are countless new arcane stars, famous masters, and even high-level mages who speak for him.

Archmage Orvisto: "I propose to use phantom magic cards as an academy competition and develop it into a popular magic competition..."

Runifusi: "The Siris School is a potential force that has emerged in recent years and deserves more support..."

Swain: "In recent years, the editorial department of "Magic" has received a large number of articles related to the Seris School, and this school has actually become a new trend.

Although it was founded by my junior student Roland, I still have to praise it...

Of course, please don’t think that you can take advantage of this. The review mechanism of this editorial department is very strict, and it is not possible to just follow the trend and get the manuscript approved.

We will take issues related to national funding and project support seriously..."

Scord and Thibaud: "Automated printing technology needs your support. Magic cards mean a new outlet for spell-casting props in the future. Invest time and energy in research in advance to grasp the future in advance!"

Pano: "I recently planned to combine the famous horse 'Red Rabbit Horse' that appeared in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with the traditional "mounting skill". It has always been difficult to combine, but the improvement of traditional cards by the Siris School has given me New inspiration.

Perhaps it can be made into a mount card and become a new and practical summoning technique. I suggest that everyone learn more about the Siris School, learn more about the Siris Runes and the corresponding phantom magic cards..."

Buno: "Are you still studying traditional arcana these days? You are falling behind. Please learn about the Seris runes and magic cards at the forefront of arcana..."

Capel Company: "Our company has obtained the operating rights of Seris Magic Card in Reiner World, and is a pioneer in the field of R&D and production of this magic prop. We welcome investment and inspection..."

If we say, these people and institutions involved are adding weight to the Phantom Magic Card project in all aspects.

Then the next fate of the Church of Light will be a heavy blow on the scale weighed by high-level officials.

Archbishop Pana: "My Lord once sent an oracle, 'The phantom magic card is very good.' This church firmly supports this as a new competition event in the magic world!
If Atrein makes a decision, I, the Church of Light, will send clergy to participate and provide all-round support including venues, personnel, and funds..."

After that, the card associations with relevant interests followed up closely: "We will also provide all the support we can!"

……

"What do you think of this matter?"

At the Arteline Mage Tower, Antonia convened several committee members on duty to discuss.

They have also paid attention to the recent discussions and feel that preparations for the competition will take some time and they cannot make a hasty decision just before the deadline.

It's time to make a choice.

"Isn't this obvious? The discussion before the game is actually a kind of 'competition'!"

Archmage Arkadi said with a smile.

Archmage Tempelis also agreed: "It is indeed true. Although it may be unfair to the Autodocus School, Eutodox was established earlier and has more talents and resources. Isn't this true? Another kind of unfairness?”

The old mage once voted in favor of Roland's nomination for the Morning Star Award and the promotion of trial teaching in Seris language in the Reiner Kingdom, and now he has also chosen to support it.

Antonia then asked several committee members, and everyone tended to have the same opinion, and they all agreed with this trend.

So, Antonia made a decision: "Then let's take the Phantom Magic Card as a competition event and try to implement it. If the effect is good, it can even be popularized in Atrein!"

　It’s almost the end of the month, please pay attention to the upcoming National Day activities, it’s an old tradition.
