Arcane Linguist

Chapter 376: Roland knows people and is good at assigning tasks

"How could this happen? All our holidays are cancelled..."

“All the special allowances originally agreed upon are gone!”

"You can even reduce the travel quota for the teleportation circle?"

"This must have offended someone, right? Mr. Penis...do you really want to go against Mr. Roland?"

In the mage tower, there is a forbidden spell management office.

Those department personnel who were hit by Roland's precise attack discussed privately, and they all felt the atmosphere of fierce confrontation between wind and frost.

The mages who can become political officers in Atrein may have the scholarly spirit of coming out of the ivory tower, or they may be introverted, taciturn, and have no interest in politics, and just want to immerse themselves in experiments.

But there are absolutely no fools.

They all saw that the school war had begun.

In the management office, a middle-aged man in his 50s frowned and looked helpless.

This middle-aged man is Penis, a member of the school who was supported by the School of Elements and took this position.

"Why would I get into such trouble?"

For Pernice, who is in his 50s, the recent series of changes have been a nightmare.

Why are you humming a song and eating hot pot, and suddenly ask someone to climb on top of you and overturn the table?

Roland has a great reputation and is very powerful, so anyone would be frightened when he sees him.

Moreover, as a great mage and leader with real power, he may not necessarily have the ability to accomplish things, but he can definitely accomplish bad things easily.

What's even worse is that Roland seems to be aware of this.

The first fire was specifically aimed at causing destruction.

Just as he was lamenting his dire future, his secretary suddenly walked in.

"Your Excellency, His Excellency Opani from Elamon City is here."

"What?" Penis stood up and said quickly, "Please come quickly."

A moment later, the old dean Opani appeared in Penis' office on crutches.

He was dressed in casual clothes and looked like an ordinary old gentleman, but his face was calm and he had the domineering aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Even though Penis had graduated from the mage tower for a long time, he still felt a bit of awe as before.

"Master Dean, why did you come here in person?"

Penis personally poured a cup of black tea to the old dean, and then sat down beside him to show his respect.

"I know you have been in trouble recently, so I came here to take a look." Opani said.

"It is true that we have encountered some troubles. I don't care about it myself, but I am worried that the young people below will not be able to hold on."

Pernice hesitated briefly and expressed his true feelings.

He is already over 50 years old and has little potential left to tap in the arcane world.

Therefore, do not expect to obtain more arcane achievements and climb to higher positions.

But it is difficult for those "young people" in their thirties and forties to withstand the turmoil of the school war.

Given their situation, it is very easy to get lost in such waves and waste their lives in vain.

He was really worried about the future of those people.

Opani said: "Roland is indeed a difficult opponent, but as I said before, I don't expect you to be able to suppress him forever, you just need to delay him for a few years.

In other places outside of your forbidden spell management office, there are fellow disciples who are also working hard to climb up.

I won't be able to see the day when they become archmage, but you can still see it, and your disciples can also see it. "

Penis's heart suddenly lurched.

The old dean's answer seemed not to mention the concerns he mentioned, but in fact, it was consistent with every sentence.

What he meant was that by sacrificing some people's arcane futures as consumables that hindered the growth of the Seris School.

He never thought that he could accomplish this without any loss, but as long as the victims were not Penis and others, Penis would have the courage and motivation to do it.

"Roland has a saying that goes, 'Kindness does not control soldiers.'

This is the case for everyone who achieves great things, so don’t worry about it any more. "

Opani said calmly.

Penis' expression gradually calmed down.

"You're right."

……

"Sir Roland, this is the review report submitted by Mr. Canpast of the Forbidden Spells Management Office. They have recently approved three more experimental projects that may involve forbidden spells. The detailed information is in it."

In the office, Roland's affairs officers sent in several reports.

"I know, you go back and tell him, just say that I have seen it."

Roland flipped through it briefly and agreed casually.

This is someone who has turned to him and wants to express his loyalty in this way.

But I am not familiar with the department's business, and it is not easy to directly bypass their person in charge.

Therefore, we can only wait and see.

For the sake of safety, his signatures were all "Please follow the procedures", "Process according to the regulations", or even just a vague "read" to avoid being cheated accidentally.

"In the final analysis, there is still a lack of true confidants."

He is very aware of the reasons for this situation and is also considering how to break through.

Core members such as Pano and Pimmel who joined the school in the early days must be promoted.

My seniors, including Swain, Froya, Scord, Ewen, Priya...

Even Pendus, Oxea and others who originally belonged to the Eutodocus school came into his sight.

Of course, there are also the few low-level mages such as Qorg and Dirente who have served in their own departments.

“This is not about nepotism, but because there are currently no other candidates available, and only by supporting these pro-alliance people can we develop our own power.

To put it bluntly, if something goes wrong in the business, someone has to take the blame, instead of myself, the leader of the school, rolling up my sleeves and taking responsibility personally. "

The competition between schools is a bit like two armies confronting each other. The coach cannot take advantage of the situation and charge into the battle.

Roland understood that only by firmly holding power could he promote more members of the school, and even those who took the blame would have a chance to be re-employed.

He had been a human being twice in his previous life. Although it was the first time he sat in such a position, he already knew many of the unspoken rules as if he had no teacher.

……

"This is indeed the case. Your current status is the leader of the school, and you should focus on discovering and appointing talents.

If there are those departments that can be used by you, it is the last word to conquer them as soon as possible. "

He communicated privately with his teacher Ovisto, who also expressed his appreciation.

"Someone always said something to me in the past. A wise man is born with knowledge, and I deeply believe it. Seeing you like this now further proves the correctness of this sentence.

But don't be careless, because the human heart is the hardest to control.

Pay more attention to the direction of your own school and use the interests of the school to unite talents is the right way..."

At this time, Ovisto once again showed his role as a teacher and did not hesitate to teach.

"I know that the economic base determines the superstructure."

Roland chuckled.

In his previous life, he learned the art of slaying dragons and was trained as a member of the country's ruling class.

It’s just a lack of practice opportunities. But once you get the chance, you can put it to use immediately.

Not a single year of nine years of compulsory education is in vain.

"By the way, teacher, I plan to establish a brand new department under my command, use the Great Movement to evacuate the entire development department, and try to truly control the real power in my own hands.

Please help me check whether these people are worth reusing. "

Roland briefly talked about his idea.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, fishing is a great test of patience and luck.

But if you rent a water pump and drain the entire fish pond, you can choose the fish inside.

He is now in great power. He has real real power in terms of personnel and finance, which is equivalent to owning this big pump that drains the fish pond.

The fish in the pond are actually completely unable to compete with themselves.

"I plan to use the name of the Seris School to set up special working groups for each management office to deal with the relevant business of the corresponding school.

The Seris School is a new school, and I am familiar with the related arcane achievements and specific businesses, so I can achieve complete independent control.

At the same time, we can also rely on the development of the school to gradually sideline other departments..."

When the teacher who was far away in Master Ovisto's tower heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then he showed a heartfelt smile.

"This is a brilliant move!"

In fact, it is not necessarily very clever, it is nothing more than imitating the wisdom of the ancients.

There are many such examples in the history of Siris.

Seeing that his idea was approved by the teacher, Roland said silently in his heart.

The struggle between imperial power and prime ministerial power, the motives for cultivating eunuchs and imperial guards, various excuses for making accusations, and methods of punishing people...

There are sets of theories, which are much richer than those of the so-called strong men in the supernatural world who only know how to fight and kill.

……

"Have you heard? The Development Department is setting up a new department to be responsible for business related to the Seris School!"

"Canpaste, Dominia, Finella and others have all been promoted to deputy directors!"

"What, how could they do it so quickly..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, those people are coming out of Mr. Roland's office!"

Another day, in the office area where the Arcane Development Department is located in the Atrein Mage Tower, gossip spread quickly.

Roland started to light the second fire.

He wants to promote and reuse people who have passed the obedience test before!

Everyone expressed their contempt for those people.

As a result, when Canpast and others came back, proudly announced the results and confirmed the gossip, everyone's expressions changed rapidly.

I started to feel envious again.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me..."

"Your Excellency Roland decided to set up several special working groups in the Development Department, specifically responsible for content related to the Seris School...

As the deputy director, I now serve as the team leader for the approval of forbidden spells, and I am directly responsible to Mr. Roland.

From now on, all forbidden spell business related to Reiner's world and the Siris School can be directly handled by me..."

"I am responsible for the approval of arcane achievements and network access permission related matters, which can also be handled directly by me..."

After the several mages who had just finished taking sides made their announcements, the news soon reached the hands of the original powerful figures such as Penis.

In this moment, they also experienced the fear of being dominated by the pump.

How come in the blink of an eye, a large piece of it was cut out of the department?

……

"Old Dean, it's bad, Roland doesn't care about martial ethics at all!"

Pernice's scalp was numb, and as a last resort, he hurriedly asked for help.

The old dean of Opani was also shocked when he heard this.

Is there any other way?

The old dean and others have never lacked wisdom, but if they are not accustomed to power, they will have shortcomings.

Atrein is a civilization that prefers arcane magic, and its battles also tend to follow arcane rules. It may not necessarily be more experienced than Roland in this regard.

"I'll try to refute his application before the committee.

Such a method is simply nonsense! "

Opani tried to calm down and tried to take the high-level route.

But whether to act recklessly or not is not his decision.

Since the Arcane Committee has passed the resolution that Roland has real power, it is acknowledgment that he has the qualifications to carry out various reform attempts and control his subordinates.

Moreover, Roland himself is the leader and authoritative figure of the Seris School. If he had to refute him on this resolution, many businesses would also be unable to be carried out.

For example, whether a spell improved by the arcane achievements of the Seris School is considered forbidden magic, should exports be restricted and funds should be allocated...

After all, we still have to consider the influence of the Seris School.

Therefore, Opani and others only struggled a few times symbolically, and could only watch helplessly as Roland pulled all the neutrals over.

Immediately after, Roland started to light the third fire.

He fulfilled his promise, secured Buono's senior position, and then pulled him into the Development Department to become his deputy.

Buono, who had suddenly risen to the top, was far inferior to Penis and others in terms of arcane reputation, real power, and connections.

In terms of business, I am a complete novice.

But that doesn't matter.

Roland had no hope of accomplishing anything productive by relying on him. He had other tasks.

"You just keep an eye on Penis and the others, and criticize them as hard as you can, making all kinds of mistakes!

I'm here to support you, so don't be afraid, just do it boldly and confidently.

What's more, working conscientiously and rigorously is not a bad thing after all. "

Roland gives face-to-face instructions.

Buono was depressed: "Why do I feel like I have become a villain?"

In fact, he is not just a villain, he is also the kind of brainless villain in a regular plot who is looking for trouble.

but……

The beauty of application lies in being single-minded.

This kind of person who specializes in creating trouble for political opponents, consuming the opponent's precious time and energy, and slowing down efficiency is also very useful.

There is no garbage, only misplaced treasures.

Roland laughed loudly: "If you really can't bring yourself to do such an immoral thing, you can find someone to help you.

Well, I will find a good helper for you, and you will be responsible for watching over him and letting him go and do it. "

Roland not only said this, but also did it.

In a blink of an eye, Oksiah and several of his accomplices were transferred back from Reiner World and served as Buono's deputy.

Oxea was gearing up and excited: "Is it my turn to appear?"

He is familiar with finding trouble!
