Arcane Linguist

Chapter 33 Public Opinion Targeted
"Sister, have you read today's "Arcane Newsletter"?"

Roland thought for a while, connected to Taling, and sent a message to Senior Froya.

"Just happened to see it."

Senior sister Froya was online and replied quickly.

"That kind of person is usually invited by the "Arcane Bulletin" to comment on the current hot spots in the arcane world. Specially invited commentators can be regarded as well-known figures."

"I always feel that that person is annoyed at me, but I have no evidence." Roland thought to himself, that is probably the so-called opinion leader, big V or something.

"Forget it, there are a lot of people who are famous, you haven't met a guy with a really vicious tongue yet."

Froya said old-fashionedly.

"Over the years, there have been many hot topics in the arcane world that have been discussed.

There are praises, and naturally there are also derogatory ones.

As long as it's not too much, even the Arcane Committee won't object. "

Roland thought about it and thought it made sense, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

……

With the publication of the article "Study on Oracle Bone Inscriptions", more and more Alterian mages finally began to understand.

Not everyone has the time and energy to study these papers in depth. The reaction after hearing about them before is at best just feeling that the current trainee mages are amazing, and then what to do.

Therefore, the guidance of public opinion has a lot of influence.

On the ninth floor of the Mage Tower, in the study, Archmage Orvisto put down the newspaper in his hand, but fell into deep thought.

Unlike Roland and Froya, who are newbies in the arcane world, he is well aware of the origins and grievances of each faction, and he is sure that the appearance of that article is not accidental.

This is someone who is testing the direction of the wind and is ready to set off a storm of public opinion at any time.

Sometimes the arcane world is very pure, but sometimes it is also a vanity fair.

Orvisto snapped his fingers, and the quill in front of him floated up, writing quickly on the paper on the big table.

At the same time, he said, "Taling, help me call Nevis City, transfer to the editorial department of "Runes", the editorial department of "Text", the editorial department of "Letter"..."

The day after Oxea published his review article, that is, on October 10, the Arcane Bulletin published another headline, which belonged to another guest commentator.

"Hi everyone, I am the special commentator of the Arcane Newsletter, Boisetus.

Since the publication of the new issue of "Arcane" the day before yesterday, several friends of mine have written to me asking my opinion on this matter. At the same time, I have also learned about some high-level opinions of Oxea mages. Please forgive me. Let me bluntly say, Master Oxea didn't understand Master Roland's oracle bone inscription research paper at all!
As a special form of writing, oracle bone inscriptions undoubtedly have unique artistic value. The beauty of square writing forms a sharp contrast with our common alphabetic writing.

Leaving aside the magic, its strange shape and rough strokes have a unique charm and style.

I learned privately that oracle bone inscriptions have a symmetrical and stable pattern, and have the three elements of calligraphy, namely, the use of brushes, knots, and composition.

Judging from the number and structure of fonts, it has developed into a more rigorous and systematic text, and the principle of the "Six Books" is reflected in it..."

As soon as this article came out, everyone echoed it, leaving comments and likes.

Articles by invited commentators like this are read by many people, and the influence of public opinion is also relatively large.

"This man understands me, confidant."

Roland asked Froya for her email address, and sent a thank you letter.

However, this matter is far from being so easy to calm down, because in the eyes of everyone in the Autodoc school, oracle bone inscriptions are just fallacies of overhead doctrine, and they really can't be put on the table.

Gallo and Oxea focused on guiding public opinion, of course they went all out to find its flaws.

It is impossible for a language and writing to be perfect, as long as it is released, it will definitely be found.

Sure enough, the so-called defects inherent in some Chinese characters, such as some confusion in ideographic and spelling, various strokes, and writing is more difficult than letters, etc., have been gradually excavated. , and was criticized once again.

This attracted everyone to join in.

On Roland's side, well-known figures such as Boisetus helped to parry, but it was obvious that he also seemed a little difficult to parry in front of the huge momentum.

It's not that there are not enough people who help, but even those who help are more or less affected by some public opinion.

They themselves are not so firm, how can they convince others?

Things seem to be starting to go wrong.

Even Lunifers began to be concerned about this matter, and asked and comforted Roland in the email, and helped him analyze the reason.

As a result, the two agreed that this kind of thing had nothing to do with the so-called flaws found in Oracle itself, but was closely related to cultural differences.

Arterine and the surrounding civilizations all use phonetic characters and spelling with borrowed letters.

This kind of phonetic writing was born for trade and communication, while writing was born for recording and inheritance after the society became stable.

A large population, a large amount of food.

All kinds of divination, sacrifice...

Various affairs, files...

Some precocious civilized texts appeared, which are very advanced.

These two different development routes have created the difference between farming civilization and trading civilization.

And the background color of civilization is different, all customs, habits, religions, philosophies...

Naturally there is a difference.

The nature of partying and fighting dissidents exists among human instincts, even the group of mages known for their high intelligence is no exception.

Many people's first impression when they see this kind of square text is strangeness, and what strangeness brings is either curiosity and appreciation, or disgust and rejection.

This kind of public opinion is subtly reducing curiosity and appreciation, and increasing disgust and rejection.

More voices criticizing and opposing Oracle emerged on Monet.

Unconventional, grandstanding, the dream of a trainee mage...

Roland frowned and wanted to say a few words on the magic net.

Lunifuss said: "If you want to refute, I can help you contact the newspaper.

In addition, I have contacted some well-known friends..."

"Forget it, there's no need."

Roland considered for a while, but declined.

"Nice, thank you for your kindness, but those people are actually right.

After all, I am still a trainee sorcerer, and I have to improve myself and produce results before I have the confidence to refute. "

People speak lightly, and what they say is useless.

Pointless quarrels are also a waste of time and energy.

In the current situation, it is better to quickly advance the progress of the experiment and make the "complete oracle bone culture" results of "Light Art", that is the kingly way!
