Arcane Linguist

Chapter 3 The Archmage's Favor
Nevis, the city of the sky, the Council of Mage, and the Council of Arcane Arts.

Against a dark background like a vast void, billions of brilliance are like stars, and in the dark, countless formulas, cipher texts, and spells float up like white words, turning into huge lights and shadows that spread into the dark deep space.

Arcane treatises in the form of manuscripts one after another are thrown like meteors deep into the center, a certain huge ball of light that is as large as a star.

It is as majestic and magnificent as a god, but the lines projected by the light spots seem to be as wide as a million light-years, and it seems to fill the sky, filled with infinite good fortune between the heaven and the earth.

But just after the arcane treatise written by Roland was put into it, the huge light ball, as magnificent as a god, suddenly froze for no reason.

In an instant, the time of heaven and earth seems to have gone through thousands of years.

In the vast void, a melodious sound resounded among the billions of stars.

"what happened?"

Suddenly a giant hand was thrown, covering the sky and the sun, as if blocking the entire universe.

This "universe" turned out to be just a spherical thing the size of a human head, and the ball of light floating in the void and chaos was nothing but a fist-sized tower spirit.

"Your Excellency Orvisto, here is a new arcane treatise."

The little Taling had read that article thousands of times in an instant, uttering his suggestions in an emotionless mechanical voice.

"You might be interested."

"Oh?"

The owner of the voice snapped his fingers with some interest.

In an instant, a light curtain like a screen appeared in front of him, followed by thousands of words pouring down like a waterfall.

"A new type of writing system? It's a bit interesting. All the rune apprentices these days like to create their own languages ​​and characters.

It is still a rare analytical language, really unconventional..."

The relaxed voice gradually stopped, and it seemed that things were not simple.

Because of the need to resonate with magical power, the language and characters of Atrein are naturally suitable for the expression on the phonetic.

A complex magic element often only needs to add affixes, various prepositions, postpositions, attributives, adverbials, and clauses in front of it to express more meanings. plural, feminine and masculine, continuous, perfect, future tense...

Speaking of high EQ, this language system is "rigorous" and "standardized", which is naturally as neat as "knotting notes".

But this magical language is not perfect, at least after the development of arcane arts, people have realized its various inconveniences in expressing meaning and writing records.

It's... completely unsuitable for writing and recording!

Although bards often praised the language of Alterain as "sounding like poetry", it was only good.

Even the most old-fashioned and proud of the Atlantean people have to be troubled by its complex and changeable tenses and long and complicated word combinations, not to mention the grammatical system that is as messy as shit!

So far, the Alter Rhine script has developed to a dead end, which has also led to many senior mages and high-achieving students of the Arcane Academy often directly discarding it ruthlessly, and using the elven script as a substitute for writing.

Even at this moment, the arcane treatises written by Roland are all written in elven script.

This is not only allowed in the Arcane Empire, but even encouraged, it can be said to be a fashion popular in the upper class.

You can't speak Elven language, and you can't write Elvish characters. You are ashamed to say that you are a master mage, a high-ranking person...

But the language and characters of the elves are not the product of human civilization itself, and it is impossible for the mage master to always use these to teach his descendants and develop his arcane arts.

Because of this, the upper echelon of the Arcane Empire is also eager to try to create some efficient and convenient new magic words.

This kind of text must be able to carry increasingly complicated magical knowledge and arcane principles, and become a good carrier.

Orvisto read it carefully with some interest.

"Mr. Orvisto, you have a new meeting invitation..."

A man in his thirties, wearing a gorgeous mage robe, walked in.

"Swain, you came just in time, read this article quickly!"

"What kind of article is it? The performance of the teacher really surprised me, but I am just a small review assistant now. Is it really appropriate to just read the apprentice's graduation thesis like this?"

"Of course it is appropriate, because I have already decided to admit him to my mage tower, and there is no trouble of leaking secrets or illegal operations."

"what?"

Swain was shocked.

What he said before was surprised, with a slight sense of ridicule, and he didn't take it seriously.

But now, he really started to be curious.

"What kind of thesis is able to gain the insight of His Excellency Orvisto, the archmage who has always been known for his strictness?"

The high-ranking mage who was the review assistant smiled, sat down at the Sequoia table opposite, and adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Oracle bone script... Huh?"

Seeing Swain's expression of shock at first, and then gradually showing shock, Orvisto couldn't help laughing.

"How about it?"

"My teacher, are you sure this is an article written by an apprentice?"

Swain raised his head and did not answer his question directly, but he had already expressed his feelings.

After taking a few deep breaths, Swain couldn't help but said: "I think the level reflected in this article is enough to be called a man of talent anyway. The teacher's decision to admit him is wise. wise.

It's just that, if we want to ensure that we are recruited into the mage tower, I'm afraid it will take some effort. "

"How to say?"

"As an archmage who is very likely to advance to the rank of legend, it is inevitable that his every move attracts attention, and even the people he cares about are popular.

I think back then, I was also very tempted and almost abducted to other places. "

Looking at his favorite student, Orvisto suddenly realized that this was really the case.

Although he has absolute confidence in his mage tower, he can't help that student who is limited by experience and knowledge, doesn't understand the gold content of Orvisto mage tower in the arcane world, and is easily fooled by others with the ranking of the old era. Petty abducted!
Swain took the initiative to break the siege and said: "The teacher's heart is arcane, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to such shady tricks, so let me, a student, do it for me and go to Flandre in person.

By the way, do you still have the qualifications to grant additional spells?Try granting him a level 1 spell..."
