Arcane Linguist

Chapter 356: The other’s stones in translation studies

"It's strange, why is it so difficult to calculate?"

In the Champs Villa No. 10, Roland made several plans but couldn't get it right.

This made him doubt his own skills.

But when I thought about it again, I realized it again.

"The other party is an astrologer who practices astrology. This school focuses on astrology and fortune telling. Even if you don't deliberately take precautions, there will be some mysterious factors in your body.

These are all difficult unknowns in the art. "

After all, "Operations" is just a low-level spell. It relies largely on analysis of materials and the benefits of new techniques that others are unprepared to take advantage of.

Having been successful many times before, I had overestimated it.

The truth is, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

At the same time, in the Cleyans Mansion.

Anna Corliss also frowned.

"How is it possible? I have contacted this Roland many times and I still can't find his destiny star!

In addition, there is another force interfering. "

She moves the astrolabe, and the stars move like stars.

But these stars turned around again and again, but still found nothing.

"Huh? The resistance seems to have increased!"

Suddenly, Anna looked shocked.

"As a genius astrologer, I don't lose easily!"

Immediately, he also increased the intensity of his spell casting.

"Heh, it's a bit challenging..."

At the same time, Roland changed the technique, and the Seris runes condensed with magic power flickered between his fingers, forming a more profound and complex structure.

If the equation cannot be solved, I can still solve it with brute force!

This direction is wrong, you can try it in other directions!

It's nothing more than a waste of time and energy.

Of course, if the protection level is a few levels higher, the cost of this kind of time and energy will increase explosively, and it will soon become an astronomical figure, which is basically equivalent to no solution.

But how do you know if you haven’t tried it?

Anna immediately noticed the obvious reaction.

"It's quite powerful. He is obviously not a diviner from the Gnosis School. Could it be that he is from the Priest School and is destined to be protected by the gods?"

Genius astrologers never believe in evil, push push push push!

Roland frowned and did the math!

Anna pushed again, and the astrolabe moved like clockwork.

Roland calculated again, his fingers moving like seals.

Both of them almost gritted their teeth and activated all their magic power.

Ana frowned slightly and sharply increased her strength.

Suddenly, the runes in Roland's palm shattered.

In Anna's room, the astrolabe projected by the magic circle was also disrupted by a mysterious force.

"No, shouldn't it alarm him/her?"

Both of them were surprised when they woke up from the struggle of refusing to admit defeat.

He immediately realized that if he didn't take any measures, it would be a bit embarrassing for the other party to trace back and confirm that he was doing the calculation.

Because this kind of thing is like spying on others.

The two of them coincidentally hurriedly covered up the magic that had been mixed in before.

The weather is so beautiful today!

……

"Ah...hehe, Mr. Roland, good morning."

"Ms. Anna, morning."

We met again at Clayon's Mansion.

As an old school, a branch of the Gnosis School, Clayonce City has established its own school stronghold here. The huge mansion has an area that is more than ten times that of the Seris language seminar, and can provide multiple mage towers and The presence of multiple forces.

As a genius within the faction and a leader of the younger generation, Anna has her own exclusive residence here.

This time, she invited Roland as a guest.

Accompanying them were Atali, Froya and others.

Pano, Buono, and Pimmel followed.

This meeting will be held in the form of an arcane salon. Not only Anna and Roland, but also many mages from the sect, as well as people with rich knowledge and reputation in the industry will also come together.

"Your Excellency Roland, I have admired you for a long time."

Outside the elegant reception room, the astrologers were already waiting at the door and jointly welcomed the arrival of Roland and others.

Roland smiled and greeted them, getting to know them one by one.

The Gnosis School has branch schools such as stargazing, dream sensing, psychology, witch doctor, etc. Among them, divination is the core position similar to Chinese language to the Rune School.

Anna Corliss and others have studied this, and the people they work for are all stargazers.

They will discuss with Roland and others the general terminology translation framework, as well as the translation projects of many works and academic materials.

Anna, as the introducer, took the initiative to introduce both parties.

But basically, everyone from the Gnosis School was introduced to Roland.

After all, everyone knows that Roland has won the Arcane Star Award and is in the spotlight.

Among these people there are even astronomers from many vassal countries and colonies such as Tronia, Kepera, Hummel, Arsi, Golia and other alien planes.

They were all under the rule of Atrein, but their time was much longer than that of Reiner's world, and their influence was deeper.

In order to better draw the star map of the entire universe, astrologers in the Gnostic School have set up star observatories in many suitable locations.

If this cooperation goes well, maybe Reiner World will also build one.

As for the previous attempts to peek into each other's secrets, of course they were buried deep in their hearts and covered up.

Not to mention in this public place, even in private communication, it's hard to say anything.

To avoid being noticed.

……

"Everyone, welcome to this arcane salon. We will have an informal discussion here. The theme is Seris language and astrology, and the translation projects of the two schools...

I would like to invite the famous arcanist, alternate member, and high-level mage Mr. Roland..."

"Translation project? I know a little bit about this, and it has been verified in Reiner World!"

Roland suddenly became interested and sat on the sofa in the reception room to talk.

Compared to this world, Blue Star in its previous life, which lacked magic and other effective tools, was actually more professional and in-depth.

Because magic is so convenient, there is a lack of corresponding research.

He had already noticed it when he was in Reiner's world.

“Everyone, I suggest that this translation project relies on the wisdom of the collective rather than the words of one person and one family.

Because only in this way can we establish a new concept that is truly accurate, popular, and easily accepted by the public. Depending on the division of labor of each person, there can be positions such as translator, Zhengyi, Zhengwen, calligraphy, writing, editing, translation, publication and correction, etc., who are responsible for different tasks.

Among them, the translator is the main translator. He must be proficient in arcana and have all the eight virtues. He is responsible for formulating the framework, answering questions, and preaching the meaning of the scriptures.

Zhengyi is the translator's assistant..."

This is actually the regulation of the Translation Academy of the Tang Dynasty, which originated from the positions of translator, translator, duyu, Zhengfan, moisturizer, Zhengyi, collated, and guardian.

Roland did not copy the specific results, but copied this system, as well as the translation project experience of leading a team to work together, and translated the relevant arcane results and specific technologies as Buddhist scriptures.

The core of the translator, the main writer, the spokesperson, and the polisher were all brought in by him.

It can also be regarded as a further refinement and promotion of the experience of compiling the "Leiner Canon" in Reiner World.

Friends who often work on projects know that a ship cannot survive without a coxswain.

It is important to contribute, but without this kind of directional guidance and route control, facing the vast sea, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

The magical world is awesome. Powerful mages rely on spells such as "Language Comprehension" and the two mainstream languages ​​​​of Dragon Language and Elvish Language as routes. It is not uncommon for the body to cross.

But hard work and slowness are inevitable. Sometimes, landing on the other side is thousands of miles away.

Roland's proposal was like buying a big ship, recruiting sailors, and preparing enough food, water and various daily necessities before setting off.

Moreover, this ship can also accommodate high-level mages and masters, which is compatible with the past habit of relying on strong men.

"It does make sense, this is better."

"You can apply for more national funds."

Everyone accepted it very well and agreed with it, but their understanding was obviously biased.

No, who are you?

Roland could clearly see everyone's expressions and instantly understood their true thoughts.

But the magical world emphasizes that magical powers belong to oneself, placing more trust in high-level wizards and master translators, and not so much in the power of groups.

This method of organizing manpower, mobilizing power, and project engineering experience has a relatively low status.

Forget it, just do what you like.

Anyway, if they see the benefits, someone will follow up.

There are many smart people among the mages. What they have to do is to use the stones from other mountains to maximize the effectiveness of those magical magics.

During the break, Anna said to Roland privately with some admiration and admiration: "I heard that you have cooperated with the indigenous people of Lena World to compile the "Leiner Canon", and so far there is a good finished product.

If there are no accidents, it will become an important basis for future generations to study Reiner's world.

I think the experience of division of labor and cooperation in these translation positions is also the experience accumulated there.

But over the years, countless high-level mages have accomplished similar feats, and few are as pioneering as you.

This is really extraordinary wisdom. "

"It's the wisdom of my predecessors that I use. I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."

Roland said a famous saying.

"Standing on the shoulders of giants..."

Anna was surprised, and immediately praised her: "What a humble and beautiful character!"

Several colleagues from the astrology school nearby heard this and affirmed: "You are so humble!"

……

After several exchanges, Roland left a deep impression on the mages of the Gnosis School, and some even publicly praised him in the media and praised him greatly.

The reputation of "Roland standing on the shoulders of giants" also spread like wildfire.

"I have never seen such an outstanding person who can still remain humble. Mr. Roland can truly be regarded as a role model for our generation."

"The great master's knowledge and the young apprentice's humility are such an unimaginable contrast."

"I have never been so confident in the prospects of a translation project, because we will be led by an excellent helmsman."

"There is a saying in the Seris language called 'Be as open-minded as a valley'. I think if you don't have this level of noble cultivation, it would be difficult to create such a top figure who will not be born for a thousand years!"

"This sentence should be written into the textbooks of general colleges so that children can learn it well."

Okay, it’s become a famous saying!

Roland was helpless when he saw it.

He just said it so casually, who knew those people would care so much?

But no matter what, the general direction has been set.

The ones who actually carry out the specific tasks are Froya and others under his command.

She led several capable officers from the joint research association headquarters and began to recruit talents and recruit people.

Roland and Anna, on the other hand, reported to the committee and applied for funds.

The money for “buying a boat” (establishing a translation center) is not theirs.

This is a huge amount of expenditure, and it takes a long time to go through. It requires support from the national level of Atrein.

To this end, "Looking to the Stars" published interviews related to the salon, making the translation field regulatory framework advocated by Roland public.

This is a "public announcement" in a sense.

Although Atrein's arcane research does not have a corresponding system, publicity and increased visibility are still beneficial to the progress of the project.

"Looking at the Starry Sky" is a first-line mainstream journal as famous as "Rune", "Elements", "Alchemy Monthly", "The Age of Magic" and other publications.

Basically, it is the exclusive domain of the Gnostic School.

Strictly speaking, the content of this salon is a discussion in the field of translation studies, but because it is related to astrology, it is still published here.

At the same time, the official website of the Seris Language Research Association also reported this incident, which attracted a lot of enthusiastic responses.

Roland himself actually attaches great importance to this matter, because this is the key to the introduction of Seris language.

He had collaborated with various factions in the past, but he basically actively sought to borrow models of other people's terminology, without in-depth research into the gist of the classics.

In other words, floating on the surface.

What is learned in this way are only some common and widely circulated techniques, and it is impossible to involve any true secrets.

For this reason, Roland incidentally put forward the principles of "eight preparations" and "five non-translations", as well as requirements such as "honesty and elegance".

This is a unified standard and has been collected and published by astrologers.

Many arcane countries in later generations unanimously recognized Roland as the ancestor of translators in the magical world because he picked this arcane fruit and shared it with the general public.

From now on, translation is no longer the exclusive preserve of high-level mages and immortals.

Linguistics schools such as bloodline linguistics and "Classification (Translation) Studies" that flourished in this way became prominent schools, drawing lessons from the Seris School and accumulating rich cultural assets.

However, in contemporary times, not everyone supports the construction of this kind of translation field.

Even after "Looking at the Stars" published a salon interview, it was opposed by some mages of the Gnosis School.

Piedos Master Tower (Tower News): "Bible translation has always relied on masters, and only one translator can do it, so why waste so much effort!"

On the Magic Web, some people also raised questions: "We recognize the excellence of Mr. Roland, but he does not understand the arcana of the Gnosis School. How can he lead this job?"

This vaguely pointed the finger at this cooperation.

Roland looked at it and shook his head.

Don't you just want to compete for funds for your own projects?

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you talking about?
