Arcane Linguist

Chapter 43 Spellcasting License Exam
Another morning, Roland woke up to the music and found that it was raining outside.

Looking out through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the distant mountains are shrouded in hazy water mist, and the world is vast.

The magic lampstand automatically turned on, and the whole room was lit up with a hazy brilliance, like the white belly of an oriental fish.

He rubbed his eyes, sat up as usual, and leaned on the pillow to summon the projection screen.

The familiar female mage with the whip appeared and continued yesterday's ancient elf language lesson.

Languages ​​are divided into language families, language families, language branches, and language types according to their similarities. For example, the Orvisto runes, Iser runes, and Autodox runes all belong to the elven language family, but they come from different ethnic groups and dynasties. Over time, they have gradually evolved their own characteristics.

The ancient Elvish language is the root of the magical power of the Rune school, mastering it, the modern Elvish language, Atlant language and various runes associated with it can be mastered very quickly.

Roland attaches great importance to self-improvement. Over the past few days, he has not dared to forget this foundation after many actions.

But this time, he didn't even need to use "Language Proficiency", because there wasn't much gain left.

At least, this is the case when learning a language that has gradually been mastered, such as "Old Elvish".

"Scholar's Enthusiasm" is as useful as ever.

After feeling the buff, Roland contacted Ta Ling with his mind and accelerated the playback speed of the course video.

This is something that requires a certain foundation of knowledge, plus the improvement of concentration, memory, comprehension, etc., and at 3 times the speed, the learning efficiency is greatly improved.

I heard that under the blessing of buffs, some academic masters can scan courses on three or four screens at the same time, each at three times the speed, and still maintain effective learning.

Roland felt that it was exaggerated. Anyway, he couldn't do it. After studying for a while, he could only turn on other course videos to alternate.

These days, he has already self-taught "Advanced Spell Structure" and "Advanced Principles of Spellcasting" (introductory-level knowledge taught during the academy), and he has learned 1-3 level spells.

Before I knew it, an hour passed.

Roland exited the enthusiasm state, turned off the screen projection, and went to have breakfast.

Not long after, he left the house and came to the teleportation circle below the mage tower to join the others.

Scudder and Yiwen were waiting, and soon after, Froya also arrived.

She looked at the three of them and said, "Are you all ready? We'll set off when we're ready."

After that, they stepped into the teleportation array together, and the figure disappeared.

Leaving the Mage Tower this time was to go to the distant city of Rune to take the spellcasting license exam organized by the Rune School.

In the middle of each quarter, that is, in February, May, August, and November, the Rune School will organize this kind of examination to test whether a mage has mastered a certain spell, and then decide whether to grant the corresponding spell quota.

The spellcasting of Alteraine is divided into mana casting, magic net casting, and item casting according to the dependent medium.

The so-called mana casting, also known as "offline casting", is the process in which a mage uses his own spirit to mobilize mana and transform magic elements (magic power) to cast spells in a natural state.

This is also a primitive ability that magical creatures (or blue-striped mages) naturally have.

The magic net casting is naturally carried out through the medium of the magic net, which belongs to "online casting".

This involves the transformation of mana and magic elements, as well as the cost of protecting spellcasters, etc. The spell quota of the magic net is relatively precious, and the issuance of spellcasting licenses is also relatively strict.

"It's really funny to say it, you two experts who receive special allowances from the Arcane Council, don't you still have to obediently take the exam with me, a scumbag.

I don't know why, but when I think about it, I feel more balanced. "

When he left the teleportation array and headed to the examination venue, Scudder couldn't help but squint and smile.

"The name of an expert does not represent the ability to cast spells. When it comes to casting spells in actual combat, we are only weak chickens at the Great Perfection." Roland said helplessly.

"This is to ensure that we have indeed mastered the spell, so the quota is distributed." Yiwen said weakly.

"Ygwen is right. The biggest significance of this test is to ensure that you have truly mastered the ability to cast certain spells. Even if you are thrown outside the service area of ​​the magic net, you can still cast mana spells with your own strength. .

Now many people think that mana casting is slow and cumbersome, and it may cause magical backlash, so it is difficult to use it in place in an actual combat environment.

But don't forget, this is the root of everything. Those magical creatures also rely on their own mana to cast spells. Those who aspire to become high-level arcanists should take this test seriously. "

Froya took the opportunity to educate the three of them.

"Don't worry, senior sister, we understand."

The three nodded quickly.

While talking, several people came to the center of the city and saw magic runes floating like a huge stadium with a dome full of stars.

The rainbow lights formed by the magic power complement each other, constructing various projection screens, and looking closely, many of them are commercial advertisements.

This Rune City can be regarded as the cultural center of the Rune School, and many things related to their field can be handled here. The other place is the center of all schools, the city of Nevis in the sky.

Just considering the small things like low-level spells and the gap in transmission costs, there is no need to look far away.

After some formalities, they were taken to the classroom for a written test.

Roland felt that there should be no problem with the two subjects of "Language Proficiency" and "Enthusiasm for Scholars". This time, they were also the ones who took the test.

After finishing the written test, it was already noon, and he was taking Yi Wen, who had also applied for "Proficiency in Language", to the restaurant to meet up. Suddenly, he saw a crowd of people in front of him, and many trainee mages and social candidates blocked the entrance.

"What happened?"

Roland was a little surprised, and asked the mage who passed by.

"You don't know? The big star Paulina (Полина) is coming here today for research, everyone is curious!"

The Floating Void City of Alteraine has gone to the sky, so there are naturally many entertainment stars who advocate famous actors and actresses.

It's just that the status of the pure entertainment industry is extremely low, and if you want to move people's hearts, especially to attract mages who control social resources, you must be proficient in spells of the enchantment system.

Stars and the like, in fact, have to be mages to be eligible to be mages. The more powerful mages are, the easier it is to succeed in all walks of life.

"Shall we go and have a look?" Roland suggested, "But there are too many people over there, so just take a look from a distance."

"Yeah." Yiwen was as timid as ever, but she couldn't help being curious, wanting to know what the big stars in other people's mouths looked like.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, Roland and Yiwen saw that a person in front of him was pushed and fell to the ground screaming.

That unlucky guy is exactly Skold!
