Arcane Linguist

Chapter 379 Everything in the world is defeated by time

This is Roland's cheap nephew, "Little John" who has been sponsoring him since he first developed. He has graduated from Vendis Mage Tower and has been working for several years.

Although the opponent's qualifications are ordinary, he is just a low-level arcanist.

But in the end, because of his good uncle, he got a lot of undeserved resources and reached the level of an intermediate assistant (second-level arcanist).

The caster level is already at level three.

"Little John, I really didn't expect that you would be so old in a blink of an eye.

Where do you work now? What do you do? "

Roland showed his uncle's concern just right.

As "my uncle Jules", he has always lived in the legends of his hometown people.

Occasionally need to be grounded.

"Uncle, I am currently serving as a senior teacher at St. Lysim College in Rune City. I am in charge of the seventh-grade mage apprentice class. I am also a teacher of the Seris language professional class."

"Oh? He's actually a teacher of Seris language?"

"My current level of Seris language is level six."

Little John said with a bit of pride on his face.

But what outsiders don't know is that it was a bit difficult for him to obtain the sixth level.

Because Roland was still young when he became famous, people around him always whispered in his ears that "you must learn Seris language well" and "How can Roland's nephew not learn Seris language?".

As I grew up, my situation became more outrageous instead of relaxing.

"Isn't it outrageous that you took the Level 4 exam after graduating from Mage Tower?" "John, come and help me translate this document..."

Ordinary trainee mages may also be lazy and get away with it, or just deal with it casually.

But as Roland's nephew, he received special care from many lecturers and even professors, and he did not dare to relax for even a moment.

Every time you take professional courses in Seris, you will definitely be called upon.

At the beginning, he wanted to deal with it badly, but he was forced to have no choice but to work hard and try his best to live as everyone expected.

This almost exhausted his youth and hard work, causing him to study hard for several years and become a nerd in the eyes of others.

Love, travel, entertainment, etc. are naturally insulated from them.

Fortunately, hard work will eventually pay off, and finally, with great difficulty, he looks a little bit like "Roland's nephew".

“Level 6 is quite good, and you can be called an expert if you reach level 7 or 8.

Even if you work as a teacher in an ordinary college, you can still enjoy the special allowance from the Arcane Committee.

At that time, the Seris Language Research Institute will recruit you as a formal member and you will receive more benefits. "

"Specialized...expert level..."

John's expression froze and he waved his hands quickly.

“Uncle, I just don’t want to stay in Rune City anymore, I just want to enter the Mage Tower.

Can you...can you help arrange it? "

"Oh?"

Roland couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"It is true that you can enter the Mage Tower at level six, but you are only an intermediate teaching assistant and do not even have the title of lecturer. If you go there, the treatment may not be better than in the academy."

John was annoyed and didn't say anything.

But the reason why he spoke to Roland was because he wanted to obtain these benefits that were difficult to obtain through normal procedures.

If you already have the title of lecturer, what else do you want from Roland?

You can apply for a job at the Mage Tower based on your ability.

Of course Roland also understood this truth, but he just pretended to be stupid and made it clear that he was unwilling to show favoritism in this kind of matter.

"I really can't interfere in the matter of entering the Mage Tower, but if you are willing, find a job with the Church of Light.

I know that they are recently compiling a collection of ancient poetry, which can be re-created using the format of the Book of Songs and Chu Ci.

If you have real talent and learning, it is not a problem to get a good salary. "

"Really? Thank you so much."

John beamed.

Although he didn't get the results he wanted, if he could participate in the project Roland mentioned, he could indeed gain both fame and fortune.

"If that's the case, it's a publicity, isn't it?"

Roland said with a smile.

After leaving the Larus Territory, Roland went to the Orvisto Mage Tower to participate in the celebration of his alma mater.

Needless to say, the arrival of important people was of course greeted with cheers and towers as always.

Froya, Swain, Skold, Ewen and others are all back.

Senior Priya and others, all of whom had achieved great success, also returned.

There are also many representatives from other forces.

Including Anna, Professor Kingsley, Professor Xia Gensi and others.

But Roland's attention was not on them, but on his teacher Ovisto.

At this moment, Ovisto has transformed from a vigorous and energetic half-old man into a gray-haired old man.

A mage who has not stepped into the legendary realm, Shouyuan's life is not necessarily better than that of ordinary people, so even if he pays attention to maintenance, this old man who has passed the age of seventy will inevitably age.

This is already considered a good way to maintain health. Normally, the infusion of magic power will cause a great loss to the mage's flesh and blood, and even lead to such a paradox.

The higher the realm, the longer the lifespan, and the stronger the magic power/fighting spirit.

The stronger the magic power/fighting spirit, the shorter the life span.

So higher equals shorter.

Cultivation in the magical world does not pay attention to health preservation, which is equivalent to chronic suicide. This worn-out power can even overwhelm the extraordinary growth when you are promoted to a high level. Only when you are promoted to a legend, your life has completely transformed, and you can get rid of the limitations of the mortal body.

This is why some high-level mages will follow the path of lich.

Although you have to reincarnate as an undead creature, being able to live forever in disguise to some extent is still very attractive.

"Teacher, you have lost weight."

Roland was filled with emotions for a moment.

"Have I lost weight? Probably not, right? I'm just a little older than before.

There is no need to show such an expression. It is a natural law to grow old slowly. Even those immortal species that live several times or dozens of times longer than us are still inevitable from birth, old age, illness and death.

Even those gods who claim to be immortal will be worn out after a long time. "

Ovisto was open-minded and laughed.

"You are right, but I, the Seris School, are currently studying Wuqinxi and health-preserving skills, trying to transform the magic power that consumes flesh and blood and lifespan into health-preserving energy.

No matter how bad it is, it should be able to slow down the rate of wear and tear..."

Roland suggested.

"This may have some effect on mages and warriors of the first to ninth levels."

“Forget it, by the time these technologies mature, I will have already died of old age.

What's more, I have been practicing these chronic health-preserving things for several years, and I don't have that much perseverance to persist. "

Ovisto obviously understood this and said to Roland with a smile.

"By the way, in addition to holding the celebration of the Mage Tower, there are also some things to do when I recruit you back this time." "Teacher, please tell me."

"You should have heard that in recent years, there have been several young and promising juniors in the tower.

As a famous alumnus and a legendary senior, you have to support them well. "

"Oh? Are they the juniors I heard about before? They must be well supported."

Roland agreed without hesitation.

Even Ovisto asked for support by name, and he must not be a mediocre person.

Roland was very generous here.

Ovisto called people in and asked several shy and green young mages to greet him.

At this moment, Archmage Roland is already the leader of a school, and he is certainly qualified to protect and support these young people with potential.

Although they are not geniuses of their own school, they can still be regarded as direct descendants due to their origins in the Ovisto Mage Tower.

"In addition, I also want to officially retire after the celebration and no longer serve as the tower owner of this mage tower.

The successor I selected is Swain. He has been promoted to the eighth level over the years. It is time for him to advance to the ninth level and become the Archmage. "

"No problem, I fully support your decision, and the Arcane Committee will also help."

There was nothing to say about this, and Roland immediately agreed again.

He and Swain were both descendants of Orvisto, but Roland had already gone his own way and had his own power, so it was unlikely that he would inherit his teacher's mantle.

Then the candidate to inherit the mantle is destined to be Swain.

Roland also hoped to have allies who were also archmages outside the school, and immediately raised his hands to express his approval.

"My own vote, as well as the vote of your teacher, Archmage Runyves, Archmage Anna, Archmage Kingsley, Archmage Shaggons...

That's more than enough to initiate a nomination process.

Most neutrals should choose to support it. As long as the reasons for opposing it are not so strong, it is enough to win. "

Roland counted the allies and forces that he could mobilize now, and found that they were really powerful.

After all, other people grow too.

"I also think Swain has a good chance of entering the committee. It's a pity that he didn't get in through winning the Arcane Star Award. After all, he's not that tough."

Orvisto felt a little sorry.

But after looking at Roland, I felt satisfied again.

How can it be so cheap that every one of his disciples is as good as Roland?

……

After the celebration, Roland went non-stop and visited the Kingdom of Yser again.

But this time, under the guise of a school exchange, the person he really wanted to see was Runifu Si.

"I asked the envoy to attend the celebration on my behalf just to avoid meeting each other. Why did he come here anyway?"

Lunifusi privately sent a message to Roland with some complaints.

"My dear, are you tired of me already?"

"No...I'm just, just afraid of seeing you like you are now."

Runifusi seemed to be struggling for a long time, but finally came out after calling for a long time and met Roland.

At this moment, nearly twenty years have passed since the two first met.

Runifu Si has changed from a very charming mature princess to an old woman who still retains her charm.

Although she used various precious medicinal materials and treasures for maintenance, she still inevitably developed some wrinkles and began to really show her age.

Her figure is no longer perfect and her skin is no longer delicate.

Even the mysterious "wishing technique" could not completely retain her youth.

"I originally thought about not seeing you again and keeping the impressions of my best moments in your mind. I thought about it to some extent, but I never thought that you had to come here..."

Runifu Si complained on the surface, but actually she was a bit happy and excited.

She still wanted to see Roland again.

“Nothing in the world can defeat time, and facing aging is also a kind of courage.

And as it happens, I, Roland, have never lacked such courage. "

Roland sighed and comforted Runifusi.

"In my mind, you will always be the same as when we first met."

"I don't believe it...unless you compose a poem for me."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Roland smiled slightly and opened his mouth.

"If life is just like the first time we met, why is the autumn wind sad and painted on the fan?

It is easy to change people's hearts, but they say that people's hearts are easy to change. "

"Bowl……"

Runives murmured infatuatedly.

"How I wish I could stay in the time more than ten years ago forever!"

But it is impossible to stay permanently more than ten years ago. Even if the "Prayer" is taken a step further and promoted to the legendary level of legendary spells, it is impossible to achieve it.

After the two talked for a long time, Runifusi gave Roland a picture album as a souvenir.

Roland opened the album and found that it was full of portraits of Runifu Si from the past.

From childhood to adulthood, from childhood to adulthood, it’s like yesterday reappearing.

“Young age is easy to grow old, life is like a dream...

I have also pursued eternal and extraordinary opportunities, seeking to rise to legend.

But unfortunately, nothing was gained.

Even though His Excellency Antonia, who has been promoted to a legend, did not hesitate to impart his experience, he only left a few words...

In Siris’s words, it’s as mysterious as it is mysterious!

That does not seem to be a state that can be achieved by human power, but the moment you fulfill your legendary destiny, everything in the world will respond and give you a reward.

In other words, it transcends time and space, reversing the causes and consequences...

From beginning to end, a wonderful transformation without beginning or end!

This state is like a game of scratching paper to win prizes. You need to scratch it with your own hands to know the result. However, this result was actually destined from the beginning, but it was not known at the time.

The vast majority of high-level beings in this world only receive a thank you for their patronage...

No matter how talented or extraordinary you are, this is the case.

But I think that if everything is done to the extreme, it is possible to break common sense.

Transcendents like you are originally loved by heaven, earth, and the times. Perhaps your innate legendary destiny will awaken more and gain greater rewards than us.

You have achieved the ultimate in everything in this world. It is time to pursue legends and immortal achievements that transcend the times.

Don't wait until you are old and have regrets in the future. "

Before parting, Runifusi held Roland's face and encouraged him emotionally.

She saw the difficulties and obstacles Roland was facing now, and she also saw the path he really wanted to pursue deep in his heart.
