Arcane Linguist

Chapter 327 Roland’s choice and cooperation with the Magic School

"Excuse me, the list of rewards for those who contributed to the fight against the rebellion has been announced, and Captain Jonis has been promoted to Marquis!"

Another early morning, in the city of Terry.

The newly awakened town has ushered in the peak morning shift. Surrounding towns and villages enter the city to trade, nearby workshops go in and out for work, and the merchants in the city open their doors to welcome customers. Everything starts to get busy.

Energetic newsboys weave among the bustling crowds, selling newspapers one after another.

"Sir, would you like one?"

"Sir, do you want a newspaper?"

……

"Okay, give me one."

A young man stopped, took out a few copper coins and bought a newspaper.

Nowadays, Reiner admires the gentlemanly behavior of reading newspapers, which is exclusive to educated people. Many people are willing to buy one even if they only know a few big characters.

Young Carlo was one of them.

"Carlo, look what's in this."

The workers who were also in the workshop gathered around him enthusiastically, with a burning desire for knowledge.

"Don't worry, wait a minute, I'll take a look first."

Carlo wiped his sweat secretly, spread out the newspaper, and started reading.

What came into view was a large report written side by side in Atrein, Seris, and Lena.

This is not only a political necessity, but also because the news media in this world are not that developed yet. They cannot originally support something like a daily newspaper, so trilingual translations are used to fill the pages so that they do not look empty.

Among the three languages, Atrehine was originally the most popular among the cultural classes. However, after Roland and others came to Lena, newspapers in Seris began to appear, and innovations in simplified Chinese characters and vernacular Chinese were implemented.

Nowadays, Seris language has a tendency to catch up and surpass Atrehine language.

Of course, Roland himself wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and other members of the school imitated various novels.

Carlo didn't know all the words, but by guessing from the context, he actually understood the meaning of these reports.

After a moment, he explained to his companions with excitement: "Oh, this report says that Captain Jonis has made these contributions. In recognition of the contribution of the Foreign Legion, Her Majesty the Queen specially awarded him the title of Marquis, and also Master Rabiot and others..."

"So it is."

"Captain Jonis is famous for card competitions!"

"Be respectful, what guy...that's called Lord Marquis!"

The friends were satisfied and started talking happily.

Seeing this, Carlo raised his head unconsciously.

Although the Marquis Jonis had nothing to do with him, reading this newspaper also gave him a sense of glory in participating in it and witnessing its glory.

What is true and honorable?

……

"Roland, I heard that Capel Company has opened a spell scroll workshop?"

Serris College, in the office.

Lei, the head of the calligraphy department, came to visit and discussed with him enthusiastically.

"It's not that fast. We're just drawing up preliminary plans. We're still looking for a venue and recruiting employees."

"Haha, are you still at this stage? I've been busy with the things you told me recently, and I thought it had already started."

The two talked for a while, and Rosa came in from outside: "Sir, several specialists from the Tecno Magic Equipment Research Institute are here."

"Please." Roland said.

Lei was a little surprised, but fortunately he stayed to witness Roland's meeting with those people.

As soon as the war in the Northren Territory subsided, Roland sent an invitation to visit the mages of the local magic school in Atrein in the name of arcane exchanges.

This was his choice, to take over the conspiracy of the Scroll Association.

But...it is necessary to bring some allies into the game, make many friends, and jointly deal with the enemy.

The famous mage of the magic school, the great inventor Professor Eisen, the gold medal salesman of the Magic Equipment Research Institute, the institute's affiliated company, the Tecno Company's Lehner Commissioner, the head of the Lehner region Bernal and others should come here. .

They are here to discuss cooperation and exchanges. Just like the Alchemy School, the Iser School, and the Homir School in the past, they have all grown together with the Seris School to some extent and will become solid and reliable allies.

"Your Excellency Roland, I have admired you for a long time. This is a magic weapon entrusted by our director to give you. It is a small gift and cannot be considered respectful."

When Eisen came up, he gave Roland a gift first to make the relationship closer.

It was an exquisite pocket watch, with a classic shape and luxurious appearance, showing nobility in its brilliance.

This is a magical equipment that can be worn as a necklace, and its official name is "Tecno 999 Handmade Pocket Watch".

The magic school, which is famous for its industrialization achievements, gave out gifts that were handmade by famous masters.

This is really interesting.

Roland took the object and found that it was engraved with a line of secret mantra like a proverb in beautiful elven writing.

"~~~~."

(Time will not fail you)
This is a rare piece of magic equipment with regular time spells. By activating the switch, you can cast a "delayed burst" of up to 999 tera per day. It can be used to store the 0~9 level spells you cast, and then It is released simultaneously at any time node within the limit time (999/maximum occupied Terra amount).

"Terra" is a unit of measurement in the arcane world that is related to time-energy operations, similar to a charging unit.

Its meaning is roughly equivalent to "the amount of mana that can be erupted per unit time."

For example, if a level 9 spell takes up 333 Terra, then this piece of equipment can store 3 such spells, and then burst them out within a specified time within 3 minutes, attacking the enemy at the same time!

Although there are restrictions such as only taking effect on evocation-type attack spells (similar to projectile evocation spells such as magic missiles, fireballs, etc.), as a time-based ability, it is indeed rare.

In addition, even if the magic effect is excluded, it is also a collection-level jewelry. This piece of equipment also has an attribute blessing effect that increases the charm of the wearer.

It is a high-end magic equipment created by a famous master. It is a rare limited edition that is rare in the world and is not circulated in the market.

Therefore, if an ordinary rich mage wants to buy something in a magic equipment store, there is no need to even think about it.

Nothing to sell at all.

Roland smiled and accepted the item, and tried it on at Eisen's suggestion. Sure enough, combined with the secret spell robe that restored its original appearance, it added a bit of grace and elegance.

After sitting down, Professor Eisen said with some emotion: "It is the standard process of the magic industry to decompose the description of magic words and inject meaning. In this regard, the characteristics of the sound, shape and meaning of the Seris language itself are integrated , and it seems to have great conveniences.”

Nuo Jin echoed: "Yes, the most criticized thing about this method in the past is that after outlining the traces of words, the link that connects the meaning will lose resonance efficiency for no reason.

It is generally believed that the magician himself needs to complete the entire process from beginning to end in order to achieve a relatively complete Mana resonance.

Some people deduced the method of decomposition process based on the Sital runes and Viol runes of the Elvish branch, making it possible for multiple people to cooperate in making spell scrolls, and then the predecessors of the past generations slowly pushed it from low-level spells to Up to high-level spells.Until modern times, there are only a few secret and rule-based spells left, as well as high-level divine spells that cannot handle this.

This laid a solid foundation for the subsequent rise of the magic industry, and was also the origin of this school's development in the field of scrolls.

But we now find that you are ahead of the curve.

Simplification of Seris language and vernacularization...

It’s like it was born to connect to the magic industry! "

Bernal concluded: "The cooperation between us should be very pleasant and perfect."

Roland laughed a few times when he heard this.

Simplified Chinese, vernacular Chinese...

Isn't it just improved to adapt to the development of modernization?
As an ancient language system, of course, Seris language cannot be perfect.

In the past years, there were "four ways of writing fennel beans" and other criticized characteristics.

But Seris language is never a rigid language. On the contrary, it is rich in vitality.

Simplified Chinese characters have existed since ancient times.

That is the collective wisdom and practical result of countless literati and writers throughout the ages.

Everything is for more convenient and simple use.

As a copycat of the magical world, Roland would naturally not forget to carry over such achievements.

Starting from the "First Batch of Simplified Character Lists" and "General List of Simplified Characters" to the "Modern Chinese Common Character List" and "General Standard Chinese Character List"...

For hundreds of years, countless experts, scholars, and cultural figures have discussed together, and more than one billion people have practiced it for decades...

He got it right in one step and completed it five years ago before the East Lena Mage Tower even started its official operation.

This is what it means to truly listen to thunder in silence. One person takes the lead alone and assumes the arcane foundation of the entire school.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to truly convince the knowledgeable Lei, Blaise and others to quickly promote simplified Chinese characters and vernacular Chinese, and today, five years later, he has accumulated a good and practical situation.

Otherwise, this matter itself would be a big project.

Of course, in today's Reiner world, the literacy rate still... "needs to be improved."

That's another story.

……

A few more days passed.

In the west of Terry City, in a factory that produces magic paper.

The young man Carlo came to work.

This is the general agent of Reiner of Siris Magic Cards and the workshop of Capel Company under the name of Mobron.

As a manufacturer and distributor of magic cards, Capel has grown into a large multinational company with the support of many parties.

His subordinates also began to cultivate a number of workshops, workshops or various institutions that produce magic paper, sell magic cards, and even create and adapt literary and artistic works and other related industries.

This magic paper factory is just one of them, specializing in various cheap paper products used to make low-level cards.

But no matter how cheap it is, it is still in the category of magic materials, and it actually has a lot of potential.

"Hey, Carlo, I remember you went to the General College for a few years, and you had Level [-] in Seris, right?"

Before Carlo started working, he suddenly saw the factory manager coming over with a thick roster.

"Yes sir, I passed the Seris Language Level [-] test at the academy!"

Carlo was excited and responded quickly.

The balding middle-aged manager adjusted his glasses, looked at the roster, and then quickly sketched it.

"That's really lucky for you. The company has opened a new spell scroll workshop and is planning to recruit literate apprentices."

The middle-aged steward said.

"what?"

Before Carlo could figure out what was going on, he was waved to the other side by the people next to him.

"Listen up, our Capel Company is preparing to enter the field of spell scrolls. Now the head office will pay for some training for you, mainly on the basic knowledge of rune language, as well as the magic corresponding to various level 0 and level 1 spells. Rune outline!”

On the other side, the person in charge who accepted them announced the purpose of this transfer.

"What, a spell scroll?"

"us?"

The crowd was amazed.

Traditionally, it is believed that any work related to writing is the exclusive domain of intellectuals, and spell scrolls are magical objects that can only be copied and produced by magicians.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with thinking so.

But it’s like there is a special swordsman and penman in the clerical field...

Circuit boards, precision instruments, and various high-tech products are also inseparable from the work of industrial workers.

Magicians make various alchemical products, magic tools, spell scrolls and other things, and they cannot do without the help of their servants.

Otherwise, all the chores would have to be done by yourself, wouldn't it tire the mage to death?

The greatest contribution of the Magical School to the arcane world is the standardization and industrialization of many processes, and a comprehensive innovation in the arcane industry.

Now, Atrein has transferred some basic magic industry technology to Reiner World, and Roland has found a way to obtain some magic scroll-related technologies.

The industrial structure in this area can finally be set up.

Eisen and others came here just for this reason.

So far, Lennar World has not been able to deploy more advanced production lines, but it is possible to open some workshops in the early stages of industrialization and promote assembly lines.

Carlo didn't know the inside story of these times, but he was dragged to class in a daze to learn how to use those magic instruments and alchemy props.

"You idiots, don't worry about the principles and meanings behind those runes, that's not what you should consider!
Just follow my example, outline the shape of the runes, and give magic power and magical meanings. High-level apprentices will naturally handle it!
Now, let me start practicing the runic words corresponding to these words..."

The templates that Carlo was assigned were some Siris characters that he recognized and the corresponding rune language patterns.

"Water...fire...wind...thunder..."

Okay, I recognize every word, but I don’t know what it means when put together.

But since the mage in charge of teaching said so, Carlo could only act in accordance with the instructions honestly.
