Arcane Linguist

Chapter 301 Rosa: I will be crowned and become Reiner’s supreme queen.

"Sir Roland, we have confirmed that the target is in this manor."

"Okay, without further ado, let's do it."

Conil City, western suburbs, in front of an antique garden villa.

After Ringer and others briefly explained the current situation, Roland immediately gave the order.

The battle mages and their retinues in the garrison set off from the wilderness more than ten miles away and rushed over using the "mounting technique".

Everyone waited patiently for them to get into position, and after confirming each other's positions through communication techniques, they began to cast spells.

Boom!

A fireball the size of a millstone smashed through the window with an extremely precise path, awakening the villa that was still sleeping.

The magic alarm screamed, and there was chaos inside.

Artemia was already alert when the fireball approached, and decisively stepped out of the exit on the other side.

Di Leisi rushed over from the other side and said hurriedly: "This place has been discovered, let the natives go up to it, we retreat quickly!"

The elves of the Automedia Empire had already realized this and quietly gathered together, preparing to sneak away from behind.

A dark shadow fell from the sky.

The huge green dragon leaned over and breathed out, and the green poisonous mist enveloped the followers.

On the spot, several subordinates grabbed their throats and fell down.

"It's the green dragon!"

Diris and Artemia were shocked and angry when they saw that their retreat was blocked.

Before they could think of a countermeasure, a red light lit up in the distance and shone above their heads.

The two elves saw huge beast claw marks appearing on each other's heads.

That is the "Hunting Mark", an effective method that can lock on enemy targets and continuously track them.

Artemia said: "Go back first and use the villa to hold on!"

Di Leisi said: "No, it is not a magic fortification, it has no magic resistance."

She pulled Artemia to the woods behind, stretched out her hand, and the vines intertwined, and a simple fortification shaped like a bird's nest was quickly built.

"Huh? Is it the Tower of Thorns?" Linge used his "Peeping Magic Eye" equipped by the frontline warriors to see this scene and frowned.

Roland also remembered the information he had studied before.

The elves of Automedia possess a magical specialty from the land of elves that can quickly transform between seed form and plant form.

That magical specialty is the famous World Tree seed.

In Chinese mythology, there are legends about nine different sons born from dragons, and not all descendants of the World Tree have the opportunity to grow into towering trees.

The vast majority have deteriorated into mediocre tree species.

But this mediocrity is only relative. They are still magical plants and have various magical properties.

Thorn Tower is one of them. It has a certain resistance to spell attacks and can be used as a defensive fortification.

But Ringer and others have their own ways to deal with it.

"Death Cloud Technique"!
As the new instructions were issued, the battle mages jointly cast spells, and large-scale destructive spells enveloped the entire battlefield.

In the dense poisonous smoke, one after another showed pain on their faces, suffocated and fell down. Soon, only two high-level elf mages and their personal guards were left.

This terrible poisonous smoke cannot be resisted by closed breathing, because if it touches the skin, it can also penetrate into the capillaries and cause terrible damage.

The elves of Automedia live in offshore territories dominated by archipelago terrain. In order to adapt to such an environment, their ancestors carried out magical transformations for themselves, thus possessing the talent of "breathing underwater".

However, this endowment comes at the cost of the alienation of the skin. Even the skin has been transformed into a respiratory organ, and the resistance to attacks such as poisonous gas is extremely poor.

This is where the elves of Automidia hate filth, hate smells, and have skin as white as snow.

Ringer and Naldo seized on this, forcing the remaining enemies to use the "protective gas" that filters the air.

Wrapped in an eggshell-shaped magic shield, they protected themselves before dying of poisoning, but they still choked and felt uncomfortable.

Linge and Naldo sneered when they saw this, and ordered the frontline mage to cast a spell from a distance.

"Large rigid shield"!
A huge spherical shield enveloped the entire Thorn Tower.

The mages quickly retreated and then threw a "Lightning Chain" over.

Boom!

A huge fireball like a methane explosion rose into the sky, mushroom-shaped clouds rose, and the entire Conil City felt the vibration.

The tower was blown up together with the rigid shield. The two elves were also thrown away by the high-pressure explosion and fell heavily to the open space dozens of meters away.

These battle mages injected a large amount of flammable gas into the Death Cloud Technique and used the explosion to cause terrible damage, while also eliminating most of the toxicity of the Death Cloud Technique.

The attack did not stop because of this, but became more violent and overwhelming. It did not stop until there was a report from the front and the enemy's life response disappeared.

Ringer and Naldo came out, approaching carefully with the effects of various protective spells on their bodies for confirmation.

Among the high-level mages, there are many clever ones, and most of them have various kinds of fake death to escape and Li Daitao's life-saving spells.

Some will curse their enemies even after death, and if they approach the corpse rashly, they will learn a painful lesson.

Naturally, they will not be careless.

"Well, it seems that they are not real elf mages, but more like druid casters, without those unpredictable methods.

But this is correct. Elf mages are all precious. Even if they need to be trained, they cannot be sent to such a secret front. "

After a while, the alarm was lifted, and the fighting team put the opponent's bodies together to deal with the aftermath.

Roland saw here the methods used by Atrein's mages to deal with their enemies.

I saw Linge and Naldo taking out the soul-sealing treasure bottle from their dimensional bags. This kind of precious treasure is about the size of a fist and like a glass. It can be used with the level 9 spell "Soul Binding" to restrain the soul and seal the spirituality. Effect.

Since the opportunity to use this spell is precious, ordinary enemies are not yet eligible to use it, so it is only used against Artemia and Diris, who are the leaders.

As the magic network permissions they applied for were issued, a magical aura like a spotlight shrouded the bodies of the two elves.

After a moment, a faint figure emerged from Artemia's body and fell into the bottle.

But Di Leisi didn't react at all.

"Is this a failure, or is her soul escaping and using some special means?"

Ringer and Naldo frowned and looked at each other, looking a little surprised.

"Forget it, don't worry about it for now, this kind of spell is not 100% successful anyway."

"And even if you really escape, it's not that easy to be resurrected."

Although there is a miraculous method called "resurrection" in the magical world, the price is too high and cannot be easily afforded by mortals.

Even ninth-level archmages and important figures like the Empire's Arcane Committee often die as soon as they die.

What everyone pursues is to sleep peacefully after death without being disturbed or even tortured.

Of course, except for those who are particularly obsessed.

Some people will even use some evil means to practice necromancy magic during their lifetime and transform themselves into lichs.

Roland, Ringo, and Naldo discussed it and decided to keep Artemia's soul first. If there were no special instructions from Arteline, they would dispose of it after the interrogation.

The souls of high-level spellcasters like this may retain some special knowledge or other values.

After handling this matter, everyone began to search for the loot.

Although they are not noble elf mages, their status is obviously not low. They carry well-known treasures such as "Hidden Orbs", "Seeds of the World Tree", "Moon Well Water", and some suspected herbs and poisons. Various bottles and jars.

Roland had little interest in these things. As long as they were available on the market and could be bought with money, he left them to his subordinates for disposal.

Instead, some letters and other items attracted his attention.

After careful inspection to confirm that there was no poison or curse, Roland spread them out and looked at them.

"These two female elves are actually still a couple!"

Fine, that's politically correct.

However, Automedia is a matriarchal society dominated by female elves, so it is normal for this kind of thing to happen.

Roland didn't pay too much attention to it, but focused on other letters.

That was the mission record written by Di Leisi herself.

"As expected, these elves are tasked with disrupting Reiner's world to make things easier for him."

Dillese did not mention the really confidential parts here, just some trivial daily affairs and accounts of transactions with local noble lords.

From this mission record, Roland saw that they had peeked at him from a distance.

"Roland, high-ranking mage of Atrein, alternate member of the Arcane Committee, founder of the Seris School, dean of the academy..."

A long list of identities, titles, and information that has been publicly displayed in the past is clearly recorded.

In addition, there is Di Leisi's evaluation: "Pure-bred human, handsome, tasteless, breeding index three stars, difficulty seven stars... It is recommended to give up."

Roland was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what the female elf was writing, he couldn't help but feel the veins popping up on his forehead.

I#_-!

The sea elves are a matriarchal society and have the custom of borrowing seeds.

Far away from the Elf Royal Court, they have already begun to become barbarians. Although they have not degenerated into a lustful race known throughout the universe like the Dark Elves, they are interested in well-known strong men from various races, or beings with special bloodlines.

While Dilisi was hiding in a dark corner to carry out assassinations, she did not forget to collect this information so that the local noble mages could carry out targeted hunting.The world of Lena is a world where the Tinyala tribe once lived, and there are many bloodlines flowing down.

Although the blood has become very thin after many generations of mixing, the sea elves are still very interested in it.

This is actually one of the reasons why they pay attention to this world.

As expected, Roland saw records of them asking for cute boys from their collaborators.

"This information may be used against them."

Roland thought for a moment, then took out these pages of records and handed them to Ringer.

As for the part related to himself, of course it was destroyed on the spot.

This move attracted the attention of Green Dragon Trina.

She had just bargained with Lin Ge and others, and selected a few more jewels from the loot as extra reward. When she saw Roland secretly trying to destroy something, she snatched it away to check it out while he was not prepared.

As a result, I almost burst out laughing: "What a mess."

Roland snatched it back with a gloomy look.

I am a dignified high-ranking mage and alternate committee member, don’t you want to lose face?
Trina patted Roland on the shoulder in an old-fashioned way: "Brother, you should be lucky that this record of Di Leisi has been sent back to the mainland, which can save you a lot of trouble."

She looked around and whispered: "Don't forget, you already have a trace of divinity and are no longer a pure human being."

Roland was slightly startled, then suddenly startled.

Indeed, the bloodline of the magical world can no longer be viewed in the old light.

Divine radiation can really change genes.

Especially since this divinity comes from the fragments of Tinyara's godhead, those sea elves will definitely be very interested!
He secretly guarded against those sea elves, but for a moment he didn't notice that Trina pressed his shoulder and glanced at the "Dragon Transformation Ring" on his finger. What was revealed inside was no longer what he longed for. Not greedy, but a somewhat intriguing interest.

"Sir Roland, we found this, it may be useful to you!"

After a while, Lin Ge, who had finished counting the trophies, came over and presented a share of the trophies.

Roland has publicly stated that he will not participate in the profit sharing of the spoils, but as subordinates, Ringer and Naldo cannot take it seriously.

They knew that Roland looked down on ordinary objects, so they simply took out some of the most peculiar treasures among the found treasures.

It was a wide, long leaf that was dried, flattened, and made into a wide shaft for the roll.

"This is... a Valonado leaf!"

Roland had recently studied the information on sea elves and recognized them immediately.

"Yes, this is a kind of palm leaf. The main branch is extremely wide. After drying, it can be used as a carrier for writing. The one containing the blood of the World Tree is called a Brahminana leaf, which means 'script'. It can be used as a magic scroll material that carries high-level spells!”

There are three copies here in total, all of which are full slices of fine material.

The main duties of the Rune School include making spell scrolls and giving them to Roland, which is quite appropriate.

As expected, Roland became somewhat interested in this, but not in these three complete "Scroll" leaves, but in pointing at the other large pieces and asking.

"what is that?"

"These are also 'Vanaduo leaves', but because they are not grown from the main branches, the length and width are much smaller."

"Bring it to me and see."

Ringer and Naldo were a little confused by Roland's move of buying a casket for a pearl, but they still followed it.

Roland stretched out his hand to compare, and found that the leaves were 6 to 8 centimeters wide and about 100 centimeters long. Excluding the narrowed parts at the head and tail, it was enough to cut out 10 cards!
Its toughness and ability to carry magical power have been tested for a long time. However, there was no magic card printing technology in the past, and few people used it as a material for card making. Instead, it is a close relative of it. In addition, Some rigid cards made from wood chips have been circulated.

However, it has not been widely promoted.

"This kind of leaf seems to be a material for making cards!

In this way, Siris Magic Cards will have high-quality and low-priced promotion conditions! "

Roland made an estimate and exclaimed.

"Huh? It seems to be true!"

"The main bottleneck of the current Siris magic cards is that ordinary paper and ink are not enough to carry enough magic power to present the magical meaning of the super magic words...

If high-level magic wood or magic crystal cards are used as the base material, they can only be used on high-level spell cards, which is far from enough to supply a large number of low-level spells.

In this way, spell cards of levels 0~1 can be solved, but levels 2~5 are the most difficult! "

As battle mages, Linge and Naldo naturally have some understanding of the recently emerged spell-casting props such as Siris Magic Cards.

Because it is light, easy to carry and use, it is expected to be used as a regular consumable item.

But as the two said, without finding the appropriate carrying material, this magic card is not enough to exert its excellent properties.

You can't use expensive magic crystal slices to make cards for level 2 to 3 spells, right?
The cost of mithril and the like has dropped significantly, but it is still expensive compared to this kind of leaves.

"Appropriate runes always need to be matched with suitable paper. In the past, ancient people used to carve words on wooden boards, and also used bamboo slips and clay tablets. Different writing tools and carriers also contain magical meanings!"

Roland remembered the Bayeux Sutra of Blue Star in his previous life.

The Bayu Sutra is a Buddhist scripture and ancient Indian Sanskrit document engraved using the leaves of the Bayeux. It is said to have a history of more than 2500 years.

This kind of document is written in two languages, one is "Zhaiza" and the other is "Wadu". The production process includes collecting Bedoro leaves, cutting, steaming or retting to dry, and pressing.

Usually, after writing with a knife (or acupuncture), apply dry toner, rub oil, and wipe the pages clean. Once the writing is clear, it is bound into a book, and the edges of the book are decorated with gold powder for decoration.

This kind of thing has extremely high cultural relic value and is an important original material for the study of culture, language, Buddhism, religious art, etc. It carries extremely rich historical and cultural heritage. To understand it using some concepts in the arcane world, it is a natural possession. It has rich magical meanings and naturally possesses the spiritual power to resonate with mana.

Roland ordered people to collect all the Valonado leaves carried by these elves and prepare to take them back to Scood and Thibo for study.

He didn't want the main branches and leaves that could carry high-level spells. Instead, he became very interested in the small leaves that were about the size of a palm and about one meter long.

Even some miscellaneous branches and dead branches that have been torn and broken due to improper preservation are of interest.

Because they may be suitable for grinding and pulping, making paper, and becoming a new material for level 0~1 magic cards!
The cost of Siris magic cards is still high. The ink with magical power is one aspect, and the magic paper is another aspect.

Papermaking has always been an important technology inherited by civilization.

Magical civilization is the same.

"Hey, what's the use of these junk things?"

Trina didn't like this kind of thing at all, and couldn't figure out why Roland wanted these "junk things" instead of those gold and silver jewelry, so she couldn't help but say.

"You don't understand, these are the real treasures!"

Roland's eyes shone when he thought of the papermaking technology that his ancestors were proud of, feeling that this trip was worthwhile.

At noon that day, Roland handed over the aftermath to Ringer and the local lords, and returned to Savalan with Naldo.

Through some secret channels, news of an abnormal explosion in Connier City spread quickly.

Garland happened to have failed to contact the two elves, so he thought about it and was shocked.

"They must have been killed!"

"Lord Garland? What should we do?" a close relative asked.

"Whether they were betrayed by local indigenous people or their whereabouts were leaked elsewhere, it is a warning to us.

Evacuate, retreat, evacuate this world quickly before the Atrein people are aware of our existence.

It would be bad if those elves had any clues to contact us. "

Garland didn't know it yet, but Roland already had his name.

But being on a special front, the necessary vigilance still made him realize that something was very wrong.

Fortunately, the task of disrupting Reiner's world has been basically completed, and there is no need to take such a big risk again.

Dong Lena, who had lost his king and heir one after another, was already on fire like a firewood pile, and there was no need to fan the flames.

So he quickly ordered his subordinates and the many informants who had finally developed to enter a state of silence.

He secretly searched for a door to another world through which he could exit, and left here wholeheartedly.

After Roland returned to Savalan, the first thing he did was go to the garrison camp on the outskirts to tell Rosa the good news of revenge.

Rosa came over with the support of Atali. When she heard about this, her eyes were filled with brilliance, and she was indeed in high spirits.

But soon, there was another burst of sadness.

"Now that the kingdom is in turmoil, just my own personal grudges can't be solved.

However, sir, you have done enough for me. The problems of the Lena people should be shouldered by me..."

Roland asked: "What are you going to do next?"

Rosa pondered for a moment. Although she was sick and haggard and pitiful, there seemed to be a soul-stirring awareness in her eyes.

At this moment, her spiritual will seemed to be sublimated.

"I will be crowned Queen of East Lena."

"Do you want to be the queen?" Roland nodded. "That's no problem. I'm happy to support you. Atline should also be able to pass this resolution."

A country cannot live without a king for a day. If Donglena wants to achieve control, it is inevitable to support a new king.

If Atrein doesn't choose Rosa, it will be difficult to have a legitimate heir. Ubol, Guidoon's group of elites, Mobrun, and even other ministers, even if the common people dare not say it openly No matter what, you will be very dissatisfied.

Choosing Felie was tantamount to admitting defeat, which would be a major blow to the empire's prestige, and might even attract other warlords and power leaders to follow suit.

Unexpectedly, Rosa took a deep breath, but she mustered up the courage to express her feelings to Roland: "Sir, what I want to be is not just the queen of East Lena.

I also want to unify Reiner, conquer the northern barbarians, the Red Sand Legion, the Black Dragon Dynasty, the dark elves... and unify the entire Reiner, all territories and races.

I want to become the supreme queen of the Reiner people! "
