Arcane Linguist

Chapter 34
Sure enough, Oxea and a group of mages from the Autodox rune school intensified their efforts, opening various vests to start a debate with Boisetus' extremely supporters, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

If Oxea's commentary article is considered meaningful, these followers simply put aside the thesis and only emphasized the author's identity as a trainee mage.

It's not that they are brainless, but that this matter is not just related to arcane arts.

Its essence is cultural engineering, the right to speak, and leadership!
The water has a tendency to gradually become muddy.

"Oracle bone script, is this sensationalism, or the real thing?"

For a while, other people who stayed out of the matter began to be confused.

Roland watched all this with cold eyes, but he was very clear in his heart.

Language and writing are not static, and its cultural memes are constantly affected by external factors, and are also closely related to the fate of civilization.

In the previous life of Blue Star, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the motherland lagged behind the world, and when the computer age came, Fangzizi faced the test of life and death several times, such as different scripts in various countries, advocating Latinization, and being unable to input computers. It was also questioned by many cultural celebrities. Even deny it.

Solutions can also be found in history.

Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Vernacular, Hanyu Pinyin, Wubi Input Method, Pinyin Input Method!

However, whether it will be unacceptable after copying it is still open to question.

Take GB2312, GBK, UTF-8 and other standards for text informatization as examples, all of which are applied to computer systems rather than magic nets.

Still the same sentence, you have to improve your arcane level and have real skills.

……

Almost a month passed quickly, and Roland received the good news that his third paper was directly accepted, and it was scheduled to be published on the 10th of next month, that is, December 12th.

Not only that, Yiwen's runes and lexical analysis were also drafted and published at the same time.

Only Skold's Scribe revamp required major revisions.

"I'm so miserable!"

Scudder couldn't help but feel a little depressed, deeply doubting life.

"Don't give up the treatment, seriously revise it, the rich content should still pass."

"Yeah, Scudder, we'll help you."

Roland and Egwene had to take a moment to comfort him.

It is impossible to directly help write this kind of thing, but you can still help in other ways within your ability.

For example, beat him up, or allocate all the funds and materials left over from last time to him for use.

As for Roland himself, while receiving congratulations from all parties, he was also comforted by others.

"Don't pay too much attention to what those guys said, it will naturally stop after a while."

Luneforth said in an email.

"Don't worry, I know..."

After silently typing for a while, Roland thought about it and deleted it again.

"I'm so sad, heartbroken, can Nisi give me a warm hug..."

During this period of time, the debate in the newspapers not only did not subside, but intensified.

Because of the slow processing of Tower Ling and the need for a one-time update at midnight, the debate among the people is like a newspaper debate before the rise of the Internet, which can be very long-lasting.

The mages have a high status and freedom of speech, and many of them have developed a flamboyant personality long ago.

All kinds of verbal attacks, yin and yang weirdness, this is not bad, some directly attack personally.

For a moment, Li Jufu and Gan Liniang danced wildly, elegance and vulgarity flew together.

"It turns out that Faye's quality is so poor."

Roland has seen the grand event in the arcane world, the magic net debate, and he is glad that he didn't get caught in it rashly.

Ding!Wealthy and Generous has a new email for you...

"If you want to see beautiful photos of my sister, just say so, don't beat around the bush!"

"Want to see it!"

Roland instantly forgot about the debate.

……

On December 12, the third paper "Improvement of the "Light Art" Spell Scroll Based on the Research on the Magicization of Oracle Bone Inscriptions" was published as scheduled.

This time, the reactions of the seniors and sisters were finally much calmer.

After all, this "rune" is a platform they can reach.

Skold, who failed to submit the manuscript, was hurt by the scene and became depressed again, exuding the breath of salted fish all over his body.

As a result, the next day, he didn't know what news he got from the magic net, and hurriedly reminded Roland to pay attention to the newspaper.

"Roland, quickly read the "Arcane Review"!
Someone posted an article related to your thesis there, good guy, at least it took thousands of gold coins to do experiments to write it so efficiently, it is really rich! "

The "Arcane Review" is also a newspaper belonging to the "Arcane" periodical. The difference from the "Arcane Newsletter" is that it does not have specially invited commentators, and it is open to all mages to collect manuscripts. It is a popular platform.

This has always been the home field of "Gan Li Niang", and it can completely compete with the "Arcane Bulletin", which represents "justification service".

When Roland heard that it turned out to be a professional article written by spending a lot of gold coins, he was deeply incredulous: "If you invest such a large amount of money, you must get something, and the result is wasted in this kind of scolding media." ?”

"Uh, it's not a waste, at least it can be scolded." Skold replied.

"Gan!"

Roland quickly found the newspaper to check.

"I saw the latest issue of "Runes" and found the article "Improvement of "Light Art" spell scroll based on the magic research of oracle bone inscriptions". I reproduced the experimental part and came to a conclusion.

The structure of this improved scroll spell is unstable and has fatal flaws!
I have no way of knowing whether the author deliberately concealed it or was careless, but in any case, this involves the core issue of the magic of oracle bone inscriptions. We believe that it is not suitable for use as a kind of magic text! "

"Good guy, it's only been a day since I published it publicly, and you gave me a fatal flaw?"

Roland thumped in his heart, and hurriedly continued to read.

Sure enough, the article mentioned three major drawbacks.

First, the calligraphic structure has remnants of images, and the words are often incomprehensible and difficult to understand.

Second, the grammar is confusing and the expression is arbitrary.

Because ancient Chinese pinyin has not yet appeared, the ancients often used straight pronunciation or fanqie method to help the phonetic notation of uncommon Chinese characters, but the oracle bone inscriptions introduced by Roland here simply have no pronunciation, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Third, there is still a problem with the magical structure. Many magical terms are difficult to translate, and it is difficult to connect with the magic net, as if they are completely incompatible with this world.

In the previous life of Blue Star, a certain Nobel laureate mentioned these issues, and Oxea had already commented on them sharply, but now they are really ignored by the mages here, and even reached a new height.

They didn't hesitate to spend money to verify it, and gave it a real hammer!
　Another chapter is added, ask for votes and rewards!
