Arcane Linguist

Chapter 332 The Palace of Pearls and Shells
“Recently, we learned the shocking news that Ms. Rosa from Reiner World is pregnant!

Ms. Rosa is not only the queen of East Lena, she has also held an important position in Seris College in the Mage Tower for a long time. Her physical condition will directly affect the administrative efficiency of the college office..."

"Some insiders who do not want to be named broke the news that Ms. Rosa, who is known as 'Lena's most beautiful woman in the world', is pregnant, but she is still unmarried, so the identity of the child's father is a mystery.

This is bound to have a profound impact on Reiner's political situation..."

"Lenna is a world that advocates tradition and praises loyalty. This modern lifestyle is too advanced for them.

The author believes that this may cause a series of issues such as traditional customs, religious beliefs, domestic politics, etc..."

“This newspaper interviewed many aristocratic scholars and legal experts from Savarin to Terre on this matter, and they claimed that there was a precedent for Reiner to succeed to the throne by giving birth to a son out of illegitimacy!
If Ms. Rosa does not explain the origin of the child, it may cause a lot of trouble. "

"Sources say that the Lena nobles are very dissatisfied with this. Some people are calling for a thorough investigation of the truth and an explanation to the domestic lords."

……

Shocked, ridiculed, watching the show, making insinuations.

Various reports and discussions followed.

What is intriguing is that everyone actually knows the answer to a certain question, but they avoid it intentionally or unintentionally.

Some people are too taboo to mention by name.

Some people deliberately ignored it, dispelled the identity of the heir, and tried to fish in troubled waters.

Some people pretend to be confused, pretending to be ignorant, and make insinuations in a weird way.

In this case, public opinion is rampant.

However, the response of Atline's top management to this matter was slow.

seem……

Don't really care?

A former colony, even if it has publicly announced the return of sovereignty, actually still has a huge influence on socio-economic and political levels.

It is impossible to be insensitive to the fact that the Queen is pregnant.

As for Reiner World, the media world is indeed in a carnival, with various hot topics constantly hyping up.

But if you take a closer look, you'll see something inexplicable.

"There is a large-scale warcraft agitation in the Northren Territory, and the monster siege crisis is about to begin!"

"The results of the new round of office officer recruitment examinations have been announced."

"Pollina Company's all-star tour is launched, shining with stars, accompanying you all the way..."

"The release of the new Chinese costume 'Neon Shang Yu Yi', leading the new fashion of Terry..."

"After two years, the new Phantom Magic Card Grand Prix Open is held again. Experts from all over the world meet to fight against Dogura!"

"A little tip for life, chewing dried tofu and peanuts tastes like ham..."

"Don't throw away leftover orange peels. Dr. Jatos teaches you that by handling them this way, you can turn waste into treasure..."

If some of the previous reports had some news value, the following ones started to be inexplicable.

Those so-called social hot spots and all kinds of strange topics that occupy our attention are simply eye-catching.

At Lain, Chapter of the Scroll Society.

When Rawls saw the recent intelligence gathered together, he almost thought that his subordinates were using the funds to eat, drink, and gamble.

"Why are there all these messy things!

You guys, don't you think there's nothing you can do about it at all? When the trouble comes, you just find an apprentice to make up random things, right? "

The subordinate said aggrievedly: "Your Excellency, Lena World currently only has a few newspapers such as "Savalan Daily", "Teri Daily", "Dogula Daily", etc. These excerpted news are really the most popular headlines in recent times. .”

Rawls was in disbelief: "The media in Reiner World are reporting on this all day long?"

Sometimes he really feels that there is no news to write a weather forecast for.

“Our intelligence officers personally went into the streets and alleys to visit people’s reactions and collected feedback.

From a statistical perspective, this information should be objective and true. "

The person responsible for this matter is called Qu Dao.

"Those people are too...

No, this is someone controlling and guiding public opinion! "

Rawls couldn't help sighing, but soon his expression became serious.

He realized that there was definitely something wrong here.

"It seems that there are experts in the Seris School, but I don't know if it was Roland himself who gave the instructions."

"What should we do next? Continue to mobilize public opinion?"

A close confidant next to him said.

“Public opinion is always superficial, but it can indeed affect something, so don’t stop.

Next, I will try to find some people who care more about this matter. "

Rawls thought for a moment and said to his confidant.

With the deliberate promotion of the Scroll Association, the newspapers and media in Atrein, and discussions on the Magic Network, the trend gradually changed.

……

"Blood and tearful accusation, a certain arcanist issued an article criticizing the instructor for embezzling funds and raising succubi..."

"Shocked, the genius mage actually spent all the national funds on drawing cards and playing cards!"

"Unfortunately, the important Celanir force field generator has been shut down due to funding issues. In sharp contrast, a belt costs 8000 gold coins!"

"The administrators of the Mage Tower were attacked. The criminal mage was once a genius. What pushed him to this point?"

In the mage tower, in the academy office.

The fox-eared lady thought about it, and her voice gradually became quieter.

She raised her eyes to look at Roland, who was sitting behind the big table, and continued after seeing that he didn't show any sign.

"Stop first."

Rosa couldn't help it anymore, and she said to Roland with some worry: "Those people are too insidious. They keep talking about irrelevant topics, but in fact they are insinuating us intentionally or unintentionally.

In Siris's words, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong! "

"Rosa, please be patient." With a faint smile on his face, Roland calmed her down and explained patiently, "These are just common tactics in the war of public opinion.

However, if you expect that such incitement and instigation can hurt us, you would be looking down on me, Roland, and the Seris School. "

He knew that someone was doing this deliberately, trying to incite the members of the sect.

However, the Seris School has a great future, and in the process of development, many problems of funding and results can be solved.

At the same time, cooperation with other schools of thought has also resulted in topics related to the mining industry in Rune City, Iser's Dreams, fictionalist novels, and Homir's Dream of Yellow Beams.

There are also various upstream and downstream industry developments such as spell scrolls, teaching and training, magic cards, papermaking, printing, and even bards.

Roland is not fighting alone.

Not only are you loyal to him, but you must at least be loyal to the school, your own achievements and interests, right?
If you do it to yourself, you will ruin everyone's pot. You must first ask whether the staff in everyone's hands agrees!

When Rosa heard this, she stroked her bulging belly, feeling a little sad.

Roland also knew that for a school leader like himself, a few romantic affairs only added a bit of humanity to a legendary life.

But it was indeed a huge pressure on Rosa and the children.

I should give her and the child an explanation.

Roland thought for a moment, took out a piece of high-level magic equipment, gently placed it in her palm, and held it tightly.

Astonishingly, it was the valuable gift given by the Magic School, the priceless "Tecno 999 Handmade Pocket Watch".

The classic and luxurious treasure exudes the radiance of magic, and the beautiful elven text is engraved with a line of secret spells like proverbs.

"~~~~."

(Time will not fail you)
He solemnly promised: "Just like the incantation engraved on it, I will not be blamed."

"Oh, sir... dear..."

Rosa's eyes were blurry and she responded with a soft moan.

The fox-eared lady smiled sweetly, quietly exited the room, and closed the door.

……

After getting a high-end equipment as a gift for her unborn child, Rosa soon learned another good news.

The Corens family, the eldest grandson of Archmage Bolas (the eldest son of the late Mr. Leon), a direct descendant in their 20s, has just added a pair of twins.

That means that the child in his belly has a future life partner.At a young age...

No, it’s so gratifying to have such a luxurious configuration even before I was born.

Roland learned about this from Bolas. He was so happy that he also summoned Lei, Blaise, Mobron, Jonis and other close people, and announced: "I am going to do something big."

Everyone is excited. Are they preparing to fight back against the Scroll Association's public opinion offensive and trade war?

As a result, Roland's next words left them baffled.

“I plan to start building a palace for my future daughter-in-law!
Its name is 'Terra Delshe', which means 'palace of pearls and shells' in the Lena language. "

It will be a landmark building at the Lena World Wonder level, with a budget of more than 100 million gold coins for the basic construction part alone.

The purpose of calling everyone here this time is to prepare to raise funds from everyone in the name of the school.

Among them, the Seris Language Research Association will sponsor about 35%, and the rest will be raised from various comprador companies, social classes, and noble lords. If it is not enough, I will make up for it out of my own pocket. "

Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Roland explained.

"Of course this is not idleness, nor is it luxury enjoyment. Spending so much money just to buy a big house for my future son and daughter-in-law to live in.

My real purpose is to add impetus to the development of Lennar World through work-for-relief, work-for-service and other methods, complete reforms in many fields such as society, economy, people's livelihood, etc., and truly become rich!
At the same time, the various materials and technologies needed to build the palace will continue to flow to Reiner as the arcana spreads, effectively building the base of this school of thought. "

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

Roland is well aware of the backwardness and poverty of Reiner's world, and is determined to change it. This is also complementary to Atrein's general policy of supporting him to become a demon, and is in line with the trend.

But he couldn't achieve this goal by directly throwing money away, or by losing money to Atrein.

To put it bluntly, Reiner World should serve the school, not the other way around.

Then, it might be a good choice to start a big project and apply it effectively in various arcane fields, which can increase wages and improve benefits for all walks of life.

Moblan was the first to express his admiration: "This is a great thing that achieves multiple things with one stone!"

"It is indeed a big project to spend millions of gold coins in investment."

"Although the previous Mage Tower was larger in scale, it was paid for from the kingdom's treasury, and all the benefits were taken by Atline..."

They all expressed their opinions and pledged part of the money.

When explaining this matter to the members of the school, Roland still had some small thoughts that he did not explain, which was to use this method to shape the bond between the people of Reiner and his own bloodline heirs.

Psychologically speaking, people will pay special attention to things that they have invested their efforts and wealth in. All the hardships and gains they encounter will be turned into emotional investments and poured into a specific object.

This is what celebrities, idols, politicians... and even gods have in common.

Taken to the extreme, it is faith shaped by collective psychology.

As for paying...

It is both a compliance test and an investment convention.

The essence of money is social resources and various human and material resources.

With his current status, he is no longer short of money.

As long as resources can be mobilized, the accounts can be slowly settled through development.

But it is still necessary to respect the economic laws of payment terms and the conclusion of relationships.

Not surprisingly, after he spread the news, the Scroll Association thought it had an opportunity, and various criticisms followed.

Extravagance and waste, wasting money and people...

but……

At Lain's famous architect, Mr. Vinaid, a sixth-level arcanist, immediately issued a message to defend: "Consumption is not a waste. How can it be said that architectural art is a waste!"

Material merchants, antique dealers, craft experts, architects, alchemists, etc. scattered in various industries and fields also came forward to echo.

Such a luxurious palace has been built, but it still needs a garden and various decorations. The direct investment in each phase of the project is as high as millions of gold coins, and it is possible to mobilize more indirect wealth.

This money is equivalent to buying them off.

Immediately afterwards, many coolies, laborers, and refugees in Reiner World also received notices to participate in the construction.

All workers who were trapped in poverty, who might not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, but who still had hands and feet and could work, were mobilized.

Especially in the Northent area, those people who had experienced war and turmoil quickly found new jobs.

Roland was prepared to pay a salary based on one-third of Atrein's labor standards. After including all levels of salary and deductions, at least one-quarter or one-fifth would be left.

It’s not bad in Reiner World.

As a result, the lower levels were also bribed.

Then, in the past few months, public opinions from all sides came and went. Experts and scholars fully demonstrated that everyone's senses were numb and they began to lose interest in this topic. Rawls felt that something was wrong.

Why does it seem that there are more and more people supporting Queen Rosa and fewer and fewer people criticizing and satirizing her?
And those neutral people are no longer interested in this matter, and have no intention of watching the show?

"Come on, who has such a serious illness, has nothing to do after eating all day, and pays attention to others every day!"

"If you have this leisure time, you might as well take a few more credits."

Amid such ennui, a new piece of gossip began to circulate.

"Inside information, absolutely explosive! The identity of the child's father has been exposed. He is Mr. Roland, the leader of the Seris School!"

Go ahead, you can’t keep up with the heat even if you eat shit!

When everyone saw such news, their first reaction was to wave their hands repeatedly, with a hint of disdain in their indifference.

What few people notice is that this is truly a blast.

Because it is the first news to name someone and reveal their identity.

Although the previous public opinions were fierce, no one has ever really done this.

"We made it!"

In the mage tower, in the academy office.

Rosa couldn't help but say in surprise when she saw that Roland's personal instructions and the news that had been quietly published in major media had almost no ripples and no response.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Some big news ceases to be news after everyone becomes accustomed to it.

Since then, the attention and discussion this incident has caused have been completely resolved.

She couldn't help but look at Roland again with great admiration and admiration.

This dear great man has personally demonstrated the skillful manipulation of controlling public opinion.

Roland waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

After all, the information exchange in Blue Star in the previous life was more developed than here.

Including the Atrein Magic Network, it is a development model with millions of mages and hundreds of millions of livestock. The number of netizens and the influence of public opinion are far less than those of the Internet with billions of people.

Communication between the various planes is not easy, and there are barriers equivalent to the Age of Discovery.

It's easy to divide and conquer, easy to settle.

He reminded: "This matter is not really over yet. After all, you will give birth then. After the child is born, many conflicts will really come to the fore.

It can even be said that the dust will not truly settle until he successfully ascends the throne in the future! "

"Otherwise, it would be good to use the default method..."

Rosa was a little confused.

"No, if the name is not correct, then the words will not be correct. This is very disadvantageous.

Moreover, this will also be an important battle that truly establishes the prominent position of the Seris School.

Because I will complete the "Serys Rune Compilation" in these few months and compete for the Arcane Star Award!
By then, everything will be perfectly resolved. "

Roland said confidently, stroking her hair.

……

"Everyone, the funds from the alien plane have arrived, and support from all aspects has been put in place. We are just waiting for everyone to join forces and work together!
We can't just watch the royal family's foundation fall into the hands of outsiders. Let's all take a stand! "

At this time, in a secret country manor, several nobles of the kingdom gathered and were plotting.

The participants looked uncertain as they thought about the possible consequences.

But in the end, they still gritted their teeth and signed bloody covenants one after another.

In the middle of the seat, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Ferret and Arkham XIV stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to everyone, you have made a wise choice!

I, Alodi Rocky Rulanir, will lead you to create a future that belongs to us Lena people! "
