Arcane Linguist

Chapter 76 The Art of Communication
"In most of the contexts of Seris, borrowing means relying on, using, and lending. The simplest literal understanding is to provide one's property to others for temporary use, and return it when the time comes...

Perhaps based on this, they can demand a forced termination of the contract on the grounds of a major misunderstanding! "

"We also know the meaning of the borrowed word, but what does it have to do with a major misunderstanding?" Froya asked doubtfully.

"Uh...the grammar of Seris is very flexible!

For example, the two of us have a spell duel...

Roland defeated Scudder, and Roland won.

Roland beat Scudder, or Roland won.

The same is true for 'borrowing', a single word 'borrowing' is actually not rigorous.

Because of Skold's irregular use of words, there are ambiguities in the text of this contract. "

Although everyone present did not major in linguistics like Roland did, they also needed to take this subject as a basis, and they immediately understood that it was a matter of word order and guest of honor.

The grammatical habits of Seres and Atlantic are quite different. In Atlantic, only cases have nominative case, genitive case, dative case, accusative case, acquitic case, instrumental case, personal case, and vocative case. .

But the truth is the same.

Sometimes, words cannot accurately express the meaning, and it needs to be judged according to the context.

"You mean, it's not that I borrowed gold coins from that Leeds Demon, but that I lent gold coins to that Leeds Demon?"

When Scudder heard that, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Is this all right?" Froya was dumbfounded, "But is it really useful to play this kind of word games?"

"It doesn't matter, what is needed now is the excuse.

Don't underestimate words, language and words are the real magic in this world, which can mobilize the power of spirit.

Because it is related to 'cognition'!
Only through 'cognition' can we link and point to the inherent 'meaning' of this world!
In the field of magic contracts, it is the external manifestation of spiritual power and soul. "

While talking and laughing, Roland contacted Orvisto on the spot and summoned the screen with the screen projection technique.

"Roland, what do you want?" Orvisto's figure emerged.

"Teacher, it's like this..."

Roland immediately explained the ins and outs of the matter to him.

When Orvisto heard this, he really agreed.

"It is indeed feasible in theory, and it is also very operable in practice."

"Really?" The one who was most excited was Scudder.

Roland said: "It's not advisable to be a sheep and let it be slaughtered. No matter how miserable you are, the devil will not sympathize with you, and there is no such thing as accepting it as soon as it is good.

Therefore, it is necessary to figure out the strengths of both sides and each other's weaknesses, and fight with a fighting mentality. "

Orvisto praised: "Roland makes sense, but you must know that even if the devil who signed the contract is summoned and killed, it will not help.

It's better to have a good communication with the other party first, so that he is willing to cancel the terms. "

Roland said: "Skold, you hold the contract with him in your hand, summon the devil to come out and have a talk."

Scudder nodded, and led everyone to the room where the devil had been summoned in his house, and summoned again.

He had just used this magic circle for summoning low-level devils a few hours ago, and all the materials, sacrifices and rituals were also complete.

After Roland secretly hid the light curtain of the screen projection technique, the light in the entire room dimmed, as if a ghostly figure appeared in the center of the magic circle.

A slightly exaggerated middle-aged man's voice sounded.

"My dear client, Mr. Scudder, at your summons, Excel North is here to see... eh? Who are these?"

Liz Demon Exip's appearance is not disgusting, on the contrary, he looks like a very civilized gentleman, wearing a well-tailored tuxedo, wearing crocodile leather shoes, leaning on a civilized stick, and wearing a tall hat on his head. brim hat.

He froze in the air as he took off his hat to pay tribute, and looked at Roland and the others with a little doubt and vigilance.

"Exip, right? Everyone is busy, let's get straight to the point. Let's ask Skold to return the principal to you. How about canceling the contract?"

Roland stood up and said to him.

"Huh?" Exip was stunned for a moment, and then laughed as if hearing something funny, "This gentleman can really make jokes, do you think it's possible?"

"Then I'll give you 10 gold coins as compensation for these hours of wasted work."

"Are you sending beggars away?"

Like the mist of raging fire, it appeared out of thin air, surging and rising and falling.

There seems to be a smell of sulfur in the air.

Aixip's expression suddenly became ferocious.

On the high forehead, the devil's horns emerged.

"Scaring Mages? You're pretty fat!"

Roland sneered, and released the screen projection light curtain hidden behind him.

In the picture, Orvisto looked at each other faintly.

next moment.

Compulsory call!

Casting spells in the tower is like an archmage coming in person.

A vortex of space involved Exipus, the source of the projection.

The other party hadn't realized what was going on, so he really landed in the mage's tower with a bit of bewilderment.

"Hey? Hey!"

Aixip was sweating profusely, retreated a few steps involuntarily, and stuttered.

"Yes, I have something to say...

Civilized society, reject violence!
I request renegotiation! "

"Mage, I don't want to do this!"

Roland kicked it up!
Exip was kicked almost to the ground.

But because of his frail body, Roland almost sprained his foot.

"You still dare to fight back?"

Roland was furious, and while Axipu was stunned, he activated the level 5 spell attached to the "Dragon Transformation Ring".

"Dragon Transfiguration"!
While the golden light was blooming, a ferocious beast with a body length of more than 3 meters and a little over 2 meters in length appeared in the living room.

This is Roland's dragon form. Under the effect of the transformation spell, he has become a young golden dragon with a body covered in fine scales and weighing more than 1 ton.

With the power of the Yousheng troll, he output several tons of palm force, knocking down Axipu and falling out.

Roland jumped forward and rode on Exipus, grabbed the opponent's horn with his left hand, and slapped him again with his right hand.

Exipp had never seen such a battle before, and his mouth and nose were bleeding after a while, and he screamed again and again.

In a panic, he quickly activated the spell: "Δικαστριοεπιπδων!"

Roland jumped away vigilantly, crouched on the ground, and was on guard.

But above Axiip's head, a crack in the void opened, shining like a beam of light on a stage.

"Half plane?"

Sensing the power of the void, Roland hesitated.

"It's the plane court... Di Castiglio Epipedon (Δικαστριοεπιπδων)!"

Orvisto's voice explained just in time.

"Interesting, it seems that this devil's background is not ordinary."
