Arcane Linguist

Chapter 291 Siris’s characteristic immortal method, the three principles of gentleman

In Roland's view, the "legendary cards" among the phantom magic cards were born from the biographies in the history books.

The magical world is filled with thousands of races and endless disputes. Most countries are vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many opportunities for stable development and history revision. Various myths and legends are mixed with real history, making it even more difficult to sort out.

Many times, historians are often confused with bards, arcanists, scholars and even novel authors, and there is no practice of specializing in history.

This is not because their history is not long enough, but because their civilization has experienced faults, and faults often occur.

Many things have long been lost in the long river of history, and successors have no interest in understanding them.

In such a special environment, the myths, legends, biographies, and folk stories on the Phantom Magic Cards have actually assumed some of the functions of history books.

History allows a certain amount of beautification and spring and autumn style of writing, but it also pays attention to respecting the facts and writing straightly.

Roland is someone who knows something about the history and culture of Seris and has a deep understanding of it.

He wrote a biography for his student Diego, and basically followed this principle. Only by gathering faith and condensing divinity can the channel be correctly established.

After pondering for a moment, Roland used his own magic power to activate the card and summoned Diego in the form of the spirit of contract.

The other party was like a shadow, standing there in high spirits, but it seemed as if he didn't recognize Roland or his existence.

"Has he lost his memory?"

Princess Rosa looked at this figure and asked curiously.

"Three souls and seven souls are broken, and it is already very good to be able to condense such a form. Take your time."

Roland said calmly.

How far he can go next depends on whether the people of Lena miss him.

……

Because major events occurred in the city, many shops were closed, the streets were deserted, and military control was imposed in the core area near the city center. The entire Tyrui City became visibly depressed.

But this did not affect the activities of the mages. A group of people were busy cleaning up the mess and hunting down the remaining party members for more than half a month.

By the beginning of July, the injured were being discharged from hospitals one after another, and collective funerals were held.

Roland and others attended this occasion.

After some ceremonial prayers and a moment of silence, everyone dispersed to remember their relatives and friends.

Roland came to the grave of his disciple Diego and found that the Mobrons and their daughter Lacey were there.

Other elite disciples, Prince Silaire, Duke's son Bona, and others were talking nearby. When they saw Roland coming, they all stepped forward to salute.

"There are three deaths in a person's life..."

Roland nodded slightly, like a preacher, slowly speaking to his elite students a saying he heard in his previous life.

"The first time is death on the life level. Breathing is interrupted, heartbeat stops, and the physical body can no longer maintain its operation in this mortal world.

The second time was after the funeral. He was gradually ignored and forgotten in social relationships, and his contacts and influence were cut off.

The third time is to be forgotten. No one in this world will remember you, know you, or understand you.

Our senior and classmate, Diego Capel, has already experienced his first death and is currently experiencing his second death.

No matter how much we remember him and miss him, in the days to come, his existence will inevitably be downplayed until it is excluded from the network of social relations..."

After hearing Roland's words, Mobrun couldn't help but look sad.

He knew this was an irrefutable fact.

The dead are gone, but the living still exist. All grief and condolences will become thinner with the passage of time.

"But, we are rune mages, linguists, and extraordinary people who can use language and words to influence the world!"

Roland suddenly changed the topic and raised his voice.

"Now, I will teach you how to transcend life and avoid the third death.

In the context of Confucianism, it means that a gentleman has three principles: establishing virtue, meritorious service, and reputation!

As human beings, our lives may not last forever, but our merits, words and deeds, and even the spiritual beliefs contained in them can last forever.

If you miss Diego, you can write a book about him and promote his spirit so that his heroic deeds of greatness in life and glorious death can be passed down.

We can learn from others and imitate them, so that his noble sentiments of dedication and sacrifice can be inherited..."

In Roland's narration, Diego's feats were linked to meritorious service, thereby inspiring and gathering recognition from everyone.

This phrase comes from "Zuo Zhuan", and the original text is: "The supreme leader has to establish virtue, the second is to perform meritorious service, and the third is to establish words. Even if it lasts for a long time, this is called immortality."

The moral character mentioned here means that a gentleman should have noble moral qualities and great sentiments, pay attention to personal cultivation, and uphold core values ​​such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness.

Meritorious service means that a gentleman should have the ability and ability to govern the country and make a positive contribution to the country and society.

Liyan means that a gentleman should have superb literary talent and artistic aesthetics, and be able to put forward incisive insights and clever remarks, which is also cultural literacy and expression ability.

Only in this way can we teach through words and deeds and change the world by influencing and influencing others. (Note: Some of the explanations are taken from classics and the Internet)
Moblan looked grateful and realized that Roland had not forgotten that incident.

After everyone dispersed, Moberon found an opportunity to talk to Roland alone and informed Capel that the company had begun public relations according to his instructions.

Because of the support of both the Atrein and Reiner authorities, this positive publicity spread quickly.

The bards and adventurers among the people are also actively doing things.

Roland pointed out: "In a short period of time, such heroic deeds are easy to spread, but after this period of time, they will inevitably be forgotten by people.

No one will always talk about a hero who has nothing to do with him, even if the hero really protects him. This requires a second step plan, using entertainment products such as phantom magic cards to implant it subtly.

The world of Lena does not have the custom of worshiping land and gods, so the matter of building temples and receiving incense in "The Romance of the Gods" cannot be copied mechanically, and must be adjusted based on the actual situation of this world.

It just so happens that you have the company of Siris Magic Cards in your hand. Register and publish Diego's deck according to the information I provided, with certain discounts and practical functions, and try to make it truly a household name. "

Moblan said: "Sir Roland, I understand what you mean. It's just that Diego's character card doesn't look very good. I'm afraid it will be difficult to promote it."

Roland said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Diego was a low-level mage when he was alive. He can't be touted as a high-level mage or a great mage, right?"

Our purpose is to restore his original appearance, not to create a powerful god who has nothing to do with him.What's more, taking advantage of the Siris craze these years, I can give him the practical ability to use spell cards and temporarily upgrade according to the field. In the future, I will gradually launch some supporting decks, such as more Siris cards and Reiner cards. , creating a series of tactics around him can greatly increase the versatility. "

There are many gods and goddesses in Seris, who can provide children, promotions, fortunes, studies, ward off evil spirits, rainfall, cure diseases, matchmaking and other things. It can be said that they have rich business and respond to all requests.

If you are really lonely, you can also serve as a psychotherapist to provide you with spiritual comfort.

The main focus is a multi-functional route, otherwise it would be impossible to survive at all.

Roland knew this man well and decided to arrange such a development route for Diego.

As long as there are many priests, rich functions, and down-to-earth, it will soon be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Moblan seemed to understand, but seeing Roland looking so experienced and well-informed, he felt relieved.

……

"Why are you so skilled? Is this the so-called capable person who can do anything?"

After the funeral was over and everyone went back together, Blaise found Roland and couldn't help but complain.

If he hadn't known about Roland's resume, he would have thought that Roland had been a god.

This guy has a side job!
"This is the wisdom of Siris." Lei said to Yourong.

Under the influence of Roland, the current Seris School is developing a set of words, deeds, ideas, and even the core of spiritual will.

Everyone calls it Siris wisdom or Siris spirit.

Faintly, there are some shadows of the characteristics of the previous life.

Roland is constantly outputting, influencing and changing this magical universe with his words, deeds and arcane achievements.

When we returned to the mage tower, it was already close to noon, and Archmage Watson recruited a few of them up.

Archmage Bolas and other high-level mages were also present.

That seemed to be the messenger who had just arrived from Atrein.

"Your Excellency Roland, and gentlemen, we are ordered by the military to award you with combat medals in recognition of your bravery against the devil!"

Everyone was surprised and immediately accepted it happily.

Because the battle took place near the mage tower, and there were detailed records, everything was done according to the rules, without any moisture.

Roland was awarded the "Imperial Silver Leaf Medal" for killing a high-level enchanted demon.

As for the achievement of using "Prayer" to end the Dark Game early, apart from the special quota of 9th-level spells specially authorized by Antonia, there seemed to be other arrangements, but no medals were awarded for it.

Seeing Roland and others playing with the medals in their hands, Bolas said: "This is the symbol of our Atrein fighting heroes. Each of them has the effect of storing a portion of spell energy in the form of charging."

Only then did Roland realize that this medal was actually a magical item that could be worn. The Silver Leaf Medal corresponded to a level 6 spell +1, which could be injected with energy.

The medal I got is a level 6 protection spell "Anti-Magic Field" that battle mages often use, which is very practical.

After the introduction, Bolas said to them: "I'm sorry for being so hasty. There should have been a formal occasion to hold a celebration, but now is not the time to relax, so we can only act in a hurry."

Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard this, and then they remembered that this awarding ceremony was indeed a bit crude and casual.

They looked at Bolas' expressions and gradually became serious.

Roland said: "Your Excellency, Archmage, do you have any bad news to tell us?"

"You really guessed it right." Bolas sighed and said helplessly, "In the past few days, I have been busy dealing with the aftermath of the venue, and I also asked His Excellency Archbishop Pana of the Church of Light for evaluation. The demonic pollution brought about by this incident, and the possibility that someone will use the power of the abyss to cause chaos again in the future.

The conclusion drawn is not good. "

Everyone turned pale.

Bolas continued: "As we all know, Reiner's world is close to the outer plane, and the Abyss Demon is a special existence...

Even if they die here, the remaining leakage and magic power may pollute the world and bring about terrible changes.

When this mutation reaches a certain level, it may even be possible to communicate with the abyss again and reopen the door! "

"I see. Is this why Piero insisted on opening the door in public in the city?" Roland asked.

Bolas said: "Yes, if it hadn't been handled in time and the unrest spread to the entire city, Tyrui City would have been completely destroyed.

Now we have completely sealed off the venue and no one is allowed in or out, just like the Governor's Palace in Savalan.

But even so, if some flesh and blood and magic power leak out, it is still possible to serve as a trigger for the summons.

This also means that we need to pay more attention to the trends of all parties in the future, and don’t think that we can sit back and relax now. "

Although Archmage Bolas was cursed with weakness and his condition declined significantly, he still had to work despite his illness and patrol the surrounding areas intensively. It was for this reason.

He took this opportunity to inform everyone of some taboo knowledge related to the demonic pollution properties of the abyss.

Piero's actions this time had a profound impact.

Although he failed to summon the demon army, he still provided the plane coordinates and the anchor point for the summoning.

And those demons who died in the material plane can also become the source of turmoil, spreading the breath of the abyss like a virus.

Although Agates is dead, his remnants, his secretly colluded accomplices, the origin of the high-level devil...many mysteries have yet to be solved.

It’s really not just a matter of paying off your work and enjoying the leisure time of the celebration.

Before everyone could recover from this incident, Archmage Watson continued: "I announce a temporary appointment. Members of the Eastern Lena Council and all high-level mages have entered the battle order and are temporarily under the jurisdiction of Lord Bolas. .

Archmage Watson, that is, myself, temporarily resigned from the position of tower master and accepted the investigation and questioning by the special envoy of the Arcane Committee..."

Everyone was surprised.

But Master Watson was too lazy to explain anything. He just continued to announce in a wan tone: "In addition, the duties of Mr. Roland, the alternate member, will be adjusted."

Amid everyone's surprise, Archmage Watson said: "Because Lord Roland was brave and decisive in this incident and dealt with it in a timely manner, which prevented heavy losses to Lena's world, the Arcane Committee decided to promote him to the position of deputy speaker, and he still serves as deputy speaker. Dean of Seris Academy...

In addition, while I am under investigation, he will serve as the acting tower owner and exercise the veto power of the council! "
