Arcane Linguist

Chapter 322 Unintentional reward, opportunity for victory appears
"Sir Roland, Captain Jonis is back!"

At noon, the Ferret army temporarily saw no hope of breaking through the front and retreated on its own.

Jonis and others who were fighting at the front finally returned.

But the fighting still didn't stop, it was just an intermission for everyone to clean up.

Near Blackstone Castle, a motley army of refugees and slaves are still being driven in, preparing for the next battle.

The Ferret Army showed a no-nonsense attitude.

"If this continues, even spring plowing will be delayed."

Roland sighed and said to everyone.

War in the Cold Weapon Age was to avoid busy farming. It was only after spring plowing and autumn harvest that it was convenient to fight.

Although Reiner World has received magical technical assistance from Atrein, it is still quite weak in the field of people's livelihood.

It is only in these years that it has gradually developed.

But when it just sprouted, it encountered a war, and no one could do anything about it.

Unless there is a divine manifestation and a miracle such as fertility and blessing.

Jonis understood Roland's subtext, which meant that if the spring plowing was delayed, there would be no harvest in the autumn.

In that case, even if the Northen Territory is captured, bandits will be everywhere and the people will be in dire straits.

And throwing this blame to Ferrer may allow him to organize more desperadoes and attack the Savaran area at all costs.

By that time, even the once prosperous and peaceful Savalan region will be dragged down, and the entire country will fall into famine and plague.

"Forget it, forget about that for now." Roland changed the topic back to the current situation, "Tell me, what about those purple-skinned orcs?"

Jonis said: "They are indeed worthy of the name of a fighting nation and can be called perfect soldiers."

"Really? Our Seris Demon Warriors are not as good as them?"

"It's really not comparable. After all, even the Blood Eagle Warriors have only been trained to the second level. That's just the strength accumulated through the accumulation of weapons, equipment and various magic props.

If you ignore those external objects, the overall quality may not even reach the second level. "

Roland said: "Sure enough, the development has just started, but it still doesn't work."

Jonis said: "In addition, the weapons, equipment, various combat expertise, and skills are also inferior."

Lin Ge responded: “Things like rank are just a foundation.

Having an empty rank but no corresponding equipment or skills means that the strength is indeed worlds apart. "

Roland pondered for a while and then asked again: "What about Quannistin's personal guards?"

“Well, I haven’t fought against them yet.

However, I have already paid attention to this and sent several waves of scouts to conduct reconnaissance. "

Having said this, Jonis asked his people to see if anyone had successfully detected any useful information.

Someone happened to know about this and reported back: "A small team came back this morning, but they were fighting at the time and didn't have time to report."

Jonis glanced at Roland: "How about calling them in and asking?"

Roland said: "Okay."

Soon after, the scout captain came in.

"Tell me what you saw."

Jonis said to the scout captain.

The scout captain replied: "Those orcs generally have a strong fighting spirit, and they can also attach themselves to their fists, feet or weapons to perform enchanted attacks."

This is a method similar to combat skills. Low-level warriors need to use skills in a short burst to achieve such an effect.

This is like a [-]-meter sprint. If someone can do this in long-distance running, it would be quite terrifying.

It is completely beyond the existence of a large level.

"This is a sign of a mid-level or above level. From this point of view, even if it is not the fourth level, it is not much different. It is completely possible to reach the fourth level of combat power by relying on weapons and equipment or various means."

While Roland was deep in thought, Jonis asked again about the number of those people and other information. He roughly judged that the total number of these guards was more than three 3-person gangs, and they generally had levels of three to four (levels 10 to 5). , the boss is at level five.

Comparing it with the information provided by Trina, we can see that there are four orcs inside. They should be personal guards who have been promoted to the sixth level by magic potions or various special methods, and their true confidants.

What's even more astonishing is that the orcs actually fully equipped themselves with magic equipment.

The vast majority of adventurers save money from doing missions here and there, and spend a lot of money on various consumables. In the end, the weapons and equipment they use are low-end goods worth about one or two hundred gold coins.

This is why the silver scale armor forged by the rune fusion alchemy of the Seris School is so popular.

Because it is of high quality and low price, it only costs single-digit gold coins, which is equivalent to the original enchanted armor worth dozens or even hundreds of gold coins.

But Kunistin could not treat his own bodyguards badly, and what they wore must be worth at least hundreds or even thousands of gold coins.

It comes with a lot of magic effects, and maybe even set features.

Especially those bosses or personal guards may be equipped with a full set of advanced equipment.

It is a creation that can only be mass-produced by a high-demon civilization. Usually, one worth more than [-] gold can be passed off as an artifact in a low-demon world.

Jonis was promoted by Roland and began to prosper.

However, we have made a lot of various magic props and military supplies, but we have not yet been able to get such a set.

After all, these things not only cost money, but also require time and effort. They need to be entrusted to various relationships to customize them. They are not so easy to buy.

“To be fair to the enemy, let’s assume that they have a complete set of equipment such as helmets, armors, greaves, shoes, belts, accessories, weapons, and shields.

Also counting the various spell scrolls that the Scroll Association is definitely not short of, I just don’t know the level of training in prop casting..."

After the scout captain retired, Roland wrote again and added the new "factors" to the calculation.

This time, he did not use the method of shaking the lottery tube, but purely used magic power to condense the words.

As runes flew between his palms, he pinched his fingers to calculate.

"Hmm...why do you feel like your winning rate is lower?
But this also shows that my "operations research" is becoming more accurate, which is a more credible result than before. "

Roland got bad news and good news at the same time.

……

"Phew, it's finally done."

"In such a big camp, there aren't even a few doctors to help?"

After the battle, both sides retreated, causing many casualties.

Wei An and Pamir, two apprentices from medical clinics, were recruited as temporary doctors.

As a result, looking at the camp full of wounded soldiers and patients, I couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

I have never seen this scene before.

But now that things have come to this, we can only bite the bullet and get busy.

Using the knowledge they heard and learned from Jatos, they first treated the wounds of the injured.

Fortunately, there is such a thing as healing magic in this world.

All they need to do are some apprentice-level operations, such as debridement and suturing.

Without anesthesia, they relied on big sticks to knock people unconscious.

The arrow has a barb, so use a dagger to cut the flesh.

Fractures and fractures are fixed with splints.

After some barbaric medieval operations, he finally managed to pass the test.

During this period, the most useful thing is to use knowledge to cast spells with props.

Since most of the supplies here are Siris magic cards, their level [-] language proficiency in Siris language is once again useful.

The next day, the Ferret army provoked again, and Trina was entrusted by Roland to fight, responsible for resisting the attack of Kunistin.

This time, the orc became even more manic and actually appeared in person and came to the front of the formation.

"I have figured out the strength of that green dragon. She has just grown up and is no match for me!
Just like yesterday, I will hold her back while you look for opportunities to break through the opposite camp and then annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

We must kill those mercenaries from Atrein so that they will not dare to interfere in the situation here again! "

The generals under Ferrer could not refuse and had no choice but to nod in agreement.

What Quinistine didn't know was that Roland was watching him from the opposite camp.

Through the "Peeping Demonic Eye" attached to the frontline soldiers, he observed this high-level opponent from another world, as well as the difficult enemies that followed him closely.

"Personal guard...what does this keyword mean?" Roland murmured to himself.

"Your Excellency, why do you care so much about this matter?
This is how prophecy originally works.

If it is the key to our victory, it is not necessarily the only key. "

Linge advised.

Roland glanced at him, shook his head slightly and said, "You don't know something.

The spell I created is not only related to prophecy, but also involves dream deduction and wisdom index. These spell components are also an important result of my magical transformation of the Siris runes.

Its essence is to use linguistic principles rather than divine power to make predictions. "

Lin Ge was slightly startled when he heard this.

The principle of "prophecy" is indeed closely related to the power of the gods.

Traditionally, it is believed that the so-called prophecy is to use the power of gods to communicate with all things in the world and obtain enlightenment.

Regardless of country, nation, or development process...

Almost all intelligent species have worshiped and relied on "prophecy".

Even today, when the development of arcana is very advanced, many advanced civilizations still retain superstition on this matter.

After a series of reforms in the arcane world, Atline's "Prophecy" is both a level 1 entry-level arcana and the ultimate legendary magic.

This is modified from the level 4 divine spell of the same name. Different mages or schools have completely different understandings of it, and have also tried to deconstruct it based on their own principles.

For the Rune School, which focuses on language and writing, prophecy contains the magic component of "speech", so naturally it is also an important research object.

As far as he knew, this kind of magic had always been known for being chaotic and extremely unreliable.

Only those great astrologers or wizards can study it carefully based on the principles of horoscopes or spiritual magic to arrive at relatively accurate answers.

But even so, the vagueness and vagueness are still the fatal flaws of this type of spell.

Smart people are completely accustomed to that kind of nagging expression, learn to extract the useful elements from it, and then ignore the useless things.

In Ringer's view, Roland's previous prediction was a typical failure case.

It is too vague to be of reference value.

Although there is also a saying among battle mages that "prophecy," "transformation," and "teleportation" are three axes, you need to have rich experience to make good use of the spells.

Its greatest value is to provide suggestions on action strategies.

Specific implementation still has to rely on improvisation.

After understanding Ringer's thoughts, Roland patiently explained: "Of course I understand what you said, but my "prophecy" is different from those "prophecy" developed from divine magic, astrology, and speech spirits.

Its essence is a large model, a neural network formed based on semantic analysis and magical meaning.

The reason why I named it "Operations Research" instead of using the name "Prophecy" is to indicate its essence, which should belong to the line of deductive analysis.

It is a process of statistics and analysis, and it relies on semantic connections to find connections between everything, thereby opening up ideas and replacing ways of thinking! "

"Replace thinking..." Linge felt as if he heard something extraordinary.

"Yes, its essence is an intelligent interpretation...

If you reach the extreme, you will be able to possess wisdom similar to that of a god in a mortal body.

In short, everything is under control! "

This involves the principle of "Laplace's Demon".

Roland's current research on this magic is still in its infancy. In fact, it has not gotten rid of the roots of "divine magic and prophecy" and "arcane magic and prophecy", and it is not yet a rune spell in the true sense.

It is precisely because of this that it is easy for people to misunderstand and attribute it to a vague statement like a magic stick.

But in fact, Roland believed that the characteristics of this spell were very precise, objective and rational. It would be fine if other handwritings were unclear. Those that could be clearly identified must have a very high reference value.

Because language is not only a medium of communication, but also a tool for thinking.

This kind of magic replaces the functions of "communicating mana" and "thinking about it", and is the embodiment of one's own spirituality and wisdom.

It can be equated to trusting yourself, trusting this spell!

But after thinking about it, it was getting dark, and both sides were asking for money to withdraw their troops, but to no avail, and Roland really had no choice.

Just walk around the camp and relax first.

As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw two boys, Wei An and Pamir, passing by with miserable expressions on their faces and smelling bad.

"What are you two doing?" Rabiot, who was accompanying him, was not angry when he saw them. In fact, he was worried that they would collide with the nobles and cause trouble.

Roland smiled, waved his hand, and asked kindly: "How did you two get yourselves into such a mess?"

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency... the patient has diarrhea..."

Pamir wanted to cry but had no tears.

If he had known that the new recruits could not go into battle and had to do so many chores, he would not have come.

Wei An was much more mature and steady than him, and explained to Roland: "That guy actually ate the crotons we brought!"

"croton?"

The vocabulary has a sense of the times, with the feeling of a martial arts novel.

Roland couldn't help but think of the stories he had read before. Many of the despicable methods included sweat medicine and croton.

Well, of course, there's the lime that's been carried forward.

Even the Martial Saint said it was easy to use.

Just when Roland touched these three key words, something suddenly seemed to be triggered in his mind, and a flash of light flashed across his mind.

"Croton? How can there be Croton in this world?"

Rabiot was also surprised: "Yes, isn't that something Mr. Roland made up?"

"Oh, the old druid tasted hundreds of herbs, and Mr. Gatos wrote the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and jointly discovered a highly irritating laxative. Seeing that Mr. Roland mentioned this word in an essay, he simply Named after it.

I only discovered it after I came to Lena. It is said that it can be used to treat cold and stagnant food.

There are also a lot of symptoms including edema, abdominal distension, phlegm and fluid retention, wheezing, sore throat and sore throat... there are a lot of symptoms. "

Wei An explained the cause and effect.

"That guy was so desperate that he stole a lot!

Fortunately, he was dragged to duty before he had eaten a few mouthfuls. Otherwise, he might have been dragged to death directly! "

Pamir was indignant and at the same time fearful of almost causing a catastrophe.

"Is that thing so powerful?" Roland asked quickly, "How many did you bring? Also, does it have any effect on foreign races? Can it be detected by magic such as "Detect Poison"? "

Rabiot was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "Your Excellency, what you mean is..."

Roland said solemnly: "I have a hunch that this thing may be of great use."

He signaled with his eyes that he could calmly drive away the nearby soldiers, then called Wei An and Pamir to the side and continued questioning.

Wei An told the news: "We brought a lot of croton, several big bags of it. We originally planned to store it as regular medicine."

Then the knowledgeable Ringer informed: "Purple-skinned orcs seem to be omnivorous and also like soy products. Logically speaking, it may be effective on them."

Roland asked Rabiot: "Have you ever captured the prisoners of the purple-skinned orcs?"

Rabiot slapped his head: "What a coincidence. We caught two of them during the first fight. I thought they were dead at the time, but I didn't expect that they could be saved..."

Roland ordered: "Well, bring them out immediately and arrange experiments with Croton.

I wanted to see if this thing could weaken them, and if so, how long it would take for it to take effect. "

More than an hour later, the good news came: "Sir Roland, we mixed croton with soybeans and cooked it for the two guys. They ate it with gusto and seemed to like it. However, they started to have diarrhea after more than an hour. It was a nightmare. …”

Roland laughed loudly: "Sure enough, even a good man can't stand up to San Pao Xi!"

More and more “win causes” are gathering.

Roland condensed these factors into runes in his own way and calculated again with his fingers.

He became more and more convinced that these crotons were the key to victory.

Some things that I unintentionally brought to the world in the past have made a perfect return at this time and become a help to solve my own problems!

Luo Lanfu's soul, even his legendary destiny, shone brightly at this moment, becoming increasingly clear and transparent.

After the calculation, he smiled and said to Rabiot, Ringer, Naldo and others: "I know what should be done. You all come here and listen to my arrangements..."
