Arcane Linguist

Chapter 359: The opponent is a dead bone in the grave, a dog that keeps the house

With Roland's current relationship, he quickly found out the whole story.

Sure enough, it was the Pidos Wizard Tower that was causing trouble.

The other side put forward opinions and wanted to compete for support funds for the occult major, which conflicted with the project proposed by Anna.

"Pidos Wizard Tower."

In the living room, Roland gave Anna a meaningful look.

In fact, as a mature arcanist, there are some things that you don’t need to explain too clearly, as you already know them in your heart.

The reason why Anna came to seek cooperation so urgently was because she wanted to use her own resources.

She must produce results that are enough to subvert tradition and break through herself again in order to quickly obtain the Arcane Star Award and become an Archmage.

Otherwise, you have to wait for qualifications and get it in your fifties or sixties.

This is the achievement of most mages, but it basically declares that it is limited to this era and cannot go further.

It may take a hundred years of development for the "formatist zodiac sign" to gradually replace the old theory of the past and gradually become the mainstream with the efforts of several generations.

For most arcanists, this is an unimaginably high achievement.

But for those who are interested in leaving a name in history and transcending the times, it is too mediocre.

Geniuses are often arrogant, and they focus on those whose names have been left in history. They do not pay attention to the names of mere arcane committee members and archmage.

As a talented astrologer, Anna certainly has no shortage of money from various rights and labor results in her personal life, but the magic experiments and the research funds of the people under her are really embarrassing.

Build professional disciplines, even departments, mage towers...

Even more empty-handed.

I can only give myself some time to raise some funds.

Setting up professional courses and establishing disciplines in East Lena is actually a method of borrowing a chicken to lay an egg.

It just so happened that Roland also wanted to use a chicken to lay eggs and add another child to Siris's magical family...

This complementarity of resources is the fundamental reason why their friendship has been rapidly warming up recently.

It can be said that both parties have a tacit understanding and hit it off immediately.

Roland thought for a while and took the initiative to say to Anna: "If he wants to fight, we will fight.

This time is not only the foundation of your sect, but also an opportunity for me, Siris, to establish a major in mysticism.

We should join forces to win it. "

"Huh?" Anna was a little surprised when she heard this.

"I originally planned to persuade you."

"Persuading me what?"

"I urge you to strengthen your determination and support me."

Roland smiled.

Between smart people, nothing more needs to be said.

……

"Teacher, the news in the news media has been released. Do we really want to do this?"

Just when Roland recognized the reality and made up his mind.

On the other side, the Alsi world, Pidos Master Tower.

Omifor was a little confused and asked a gray-haired old man for advice.

He is about thirty years old, not yet forty. Among many successful arcanists, he can also be called a young scholar, young and promising.

He has the fair face of a typical aristocratic scholar, wears thick black-rimmed glasses, and looks a bit old-fashioned.

This is the direct descendant of the line of astrologers in the Gnosis School, and the unofficial leader of the new generation of the Piedos School.

His status is similar to that of Gallo in the Euthodox school.

And this gray-haired old man is his teacher, the current head of the Piedos School, Archmage Omicdit.

As a retired old committee member, Omega Dieter rarely performed his voting duties on the committee, but this time, he came back for the first time and personally led the verbal and written attack on Anna, vowing to destroy Siris' occult major. Stir yellow.

This style is completely different from Gallo’s teacher, Master Watson.

Omicdit glanced at him and said calmly: "At this point, you still can't understand? What Anna wants is to break away from us and start her own business.

Now that her wings are hardened, she can fly whenever she wants, without taking us into consideration at all.

If this project is not stopped, the momentum of the entire Piedos will be greatly affected in the next hundred years.

Moreover, haven’t you always liked Anna and wanted to pursue her?

If she establishes the foundation of her own school in East Lena Mage Tower, she is destined to never be acquired by you again.

Are you just willing to watch him have sex with someone else? "

When Omifor heard this, his expression froze.

There was still some hesitation at first, not wanting to give up the dignity of a gentleman, and the entanglement of wanting to save face or suffer the consequences immediately disappeared.

"Teacher, you are right.

The top priority is indeed to stop them. "

He adjusted his glasses, a gloomy look flashing in his eyes.

"Then Roland doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into Anna. I won't just watch schoolmate Anna fall into the hands of that kind of person."

If the competition was just about arcane arts, he might still be out of touch with Roland, and there would be no competition.

But when it comes to Anna, it's a combination of public and private hatred.

Even the entire Seris school became disgusting.

"There are many of my old friends on the committee. Although the favor has faded over the years, there will be no problem with this kind of casual help.

The key is to prepare the case for deprecating the plan at the hearing and convince the rotating commissioners to reject their application. "

This kind of matter can be decided by the rotating committee members. There is no need to hold a meeting of all committee members like the selection of the Arcane Star Award.

And this time the timing of the attack was just right.

Omichidit believes that his side will definitely win.

……

The public opinion storm has intensified, with the finger pointing at the entire country's spending.

During this period, Roland learned about the situation and frowned.

"Professional construction has always been the top priority for the development of new mage towers and schools. If it gets stuck here, it will be really difficult.

You can’t say it’s self-funded, right? "

Because businessmen value profits, in order to seek commercial returns, they may conduct some medical, biochemical or immortality experiments regardless of ethics and laws.

And these experiments often involve a lot of human trafficking and collusion with the taboos of hell devils.

Since more than 800 years ago, the arcane world has basically eliminated this kind of funding source that does not distinguish between public and private.

Faculties and majors that have not been approved by the Arcane Committee and are not funded by the state do not have a "birth qualification certificate."

The major mage towers also severely crack down on private learning and do not recognize the achievements of wild mages.

Therefore, Roland is Dr. Gatos's benefactor and is gradually incorporating his medicine into the system.

"That's true. Ordinary experimental funds may still be able to seek commercial sponsorship, but the construction of the mage tower and disciplines is absolutely impossible."

Anna also felt embarrassed.

"Otherwise, just don't apply for any major, but apply for a department, directly affiliated with the Mage Tower!"

Roland thought for a while and said.

"Huh? This is okay?"

Anna was a little surprised.

"As the saying goes, he who seeks it will get it. If you want to open a window, it is better to propose demolishing the entire wall...or even the entire house."

Roland understands Zhou Shuren.

"If I weren't afraid of being chased and quarreled by the old men on the committee, I would have just suggested building a new mage tower."

"That's my ultimate goal in this life." Anna chuckled, but she didn't really have any extravagant hopes. Such good things often come about by chance.

For example, if you occupy a new colony, you need to add a wizard tower to rule it.

Or, just like Roland, he came out of nowhere and opened up a blue ocean.

It also has to happen that the country has money and ample funding.

……

As expected, Roland's application was ruthlessly rejected, and no internal review was even conducted.

The current situation can be summed up in two words: no money.

The wave of anti-colonialism is setting off across multiple planes and worlds, and it is unlikely that too much money will be spent on Reiner World and additional investment will continue.

Unless the economic situation in Reiner World improves, consider the merits of the Seris School and withhold some taxes from them.

But without decades of recuperation, it is basically impossible to do it.

Because before, Atrein had scratched Reiner so hard that even two mage towers had been nurtured out of him.

Low-level mage can't understand the logic here, and may think that the committee members are moody, but in fact, there is a logic to the exercise of decision-making power.

Even Roland's supporters are not very good at making efforts on this matter.

However, with the push of Pidos Mage Tower and Roland's active challenge, the date of the hearing was quickly determined.

It was established on September 9th.

It is reported that many experts and scholars from the Piedos Master Tower, the Gnosis School, and the occult branch will attend the hearing as spectators.

The legendary mage Antonia serves as the supreme arbiter as usual, and Omichidit and other archmages serve as jury members.

The questioner in the hearing debate session was Omifor.

After learning these names, Anna couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face.

"It turned out to be them!"

"who?"

“It’s my old dean when I was studying in Piedos, and Omifor, my senior who is a few years older.

Because they are both Morning Star Award winners, we still keep in touch, but we never expected that they would stand up and object.

I originally thought it was some other annoying old men in the tower. "

When Anna mentioned the Pidos Mage Tower, a trace of nostalgia flashed across her face.

But when it comes to those people inside the tower, it quickly becomes gloomy and visible to the naked eye.

Roland didn't know much about this, but he inquired about it privately and learned that she was a member of the new generation in the mage tower who was known for being deviant and arrogant.

During my studies, I often used it as a negative teaching material.

If he wasn't talented enough, he might be expelled.

Perhaps it was also because of these reasons that she had always been unsuccessful.

But gold will always shine. Anna left the Mage Tower and traveled around to study. While staying in the tower, she created her own theory and made many important prophecies.

Then there is the much-loved return home and a slap in the face.

This did not disappoint professionals at the time, and it may also involve some grudges between mentors and seniors, as well as the ownership of projects and funds.

"That group of people made trouble for me when I was going through hard times. When I won the Morning Star Award, they turned around and talked about the school with a sullen face. Little did they know that I had already severed all ties with them. It was really disgusting to see."

Anna commented harshly on the two of them.

"In your words, the dead bones in the grave and the dog guarding the house are really not worth mentioning!"

The withered bones in the grave, the housekeeping dog...

Roland himself was stunned for a while before he reacted.

This is borrowed from myself... ah no, it is the saying in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by the great master Luo Guanzhong, where Cao Cao cooks wine and discusses heroes.

But don't say it.

He figured it out immediately.

The Dry Skeleton Omichidit in the Tomb...

Housekeeper dog Omifor...

"As for the heroes in the world, only Roland and Anna'er are the heroes."

Unprepared, Anna blew Roland a little.

Roland was absolutely defeated.

Does this work too?

Roland looked at Anna with a complicated expression, and couldn't help complaining: "Don't always make surprise attacks like this, I'm not used to it.

My feet are almost digging out of the three bedrooms and one living room. "

In my heart: "More, more!"

……

"During the hearing, they will definitely raise many questions about the merger of the Seris School and traditional mysticism. In addition to winning through the normal defense procedures, it is best to use means such as major prophecies to directly make a final decision.

The people on the committee are all stubborn, and they won't be able to turn around easily if they are not given some hard work. "

While Roland was in a complicated mood, Anna concluded.

Roland was slightly startled: "Are those people stubborn? Why don't I think so?"

Anna complained: "Of course you don't think so."

Ok.

Roland did not care about this subjective feeling with her, but just discussed it.

As a result, Anna mysteriously informed: "It just so happened that I recently predicted a major event related to the national destiny of Atrein, which cannot be detected using ordinary prophecy techniques.

There is a bit of Serisian elements mixed into this...

But it was enough to convince them.

You can rest assured that everything is under control. "

Seeing Anna acting like her sister is leading you to win, Roland was really doubtful.

But for the time being, we can only believe it tentatively.

Therefore, in the next period of time, he continued to study astrology and a series of divination knowledge.

He even tried to improve his "operations".

Now he is gradually getting an idea and wants to upgrade the basic level 2 "Operations" to level 3.

As for the new name after the improvement...

It’s called “decision making.”

In the presence of many unknown factors, some decision-making options can be forcibly provided, and prediction calculations can be performed in a manner similar to "turning the answer question into a multiple-choice question".

Anna praised this very much and praised Roland again.

Then he also participated in it enthusiastically, shouting that he wanted those old men to learn from it.

Soon, it was the end of the month.

The scheduled date for the hearing arrives.

Roland and Anna went to the Arteline Mage Tower together. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a gloomy and serious man waiting there.

"Omifor? Pfft... I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back."

Roland remembered Anna's evaluation of him, and suddenly understood the origin of that nickname.

Not to mention, this person's expression and temperament...

It does look a bit like a dog.

Still a serious one!
