Arcane Linguist

Chapter 110 Respective Precious Gifts

That night, in the backyard of the guild hall, in the place where I stayed.

Leon, as the owner of this room, invited everyone to have a meal and came back.

After bidding farewell to the other guests and leaving Roland alone, he waved with a smile on his face, and ordered his confidants who had always followed him to take something and hand it to him personally.

"This is a meeting gift I would like to present to Your Excellency Roland on behalf of the Collens family. Please accept it."

This is a magic wand in the style of a civilized stick. It is about 90 cm long and has a handle with a diameter of about 2.5 cm.

It seems to be made of special oak, and it feels warm to the touch, like topaz. Holding it in the hand, it seems that you can feel the vitality of life contained in it, and it is definitely not an ordinary thing.

Roland's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed with a little admiration: "What a staff, this is..."

莱昂自豪解释道：“这是储存75发能量的‘命令法杖’，能够施展1级法术「一级怪物召唤术」（1发/次），2级法术「二级怪物召唤术」（2发/次），3级法术「三级怪物召唤术」（3发/次），以及每天1次自充能的4级法术「魅惑怪物」。”

For a society with a high magic civilization, it is not uncommon for middle and low-level spells to be popularized. This artifact, which was made into a civilized stick system and named "command staff", should have been regarded as common equipment.

But even so, the staff, as the main weapon in the magic equipment, is worth more than [-] gold coins at least.

Coupled with level 2 and level 3 spells, it would have a value of 2 to 3.

Compared with the Wand of Scholar's Enthusiasm that the teacher gave me before, it has a higher upper limit of energy storage and lower cost of casting spells.

What's even more rare is that it even has a level 4 spell "Charm Monster" energy storage that self-charges every day.

This alone directly increased its value by more than ten times, reaching nearly 20 gold coins!

This is not only because of the high value of 4th-level spells, but also because the gems that make staffs are expensive.

Self-charging magic gems, especially special gems that can support the use of spells above level 4, are the best minerals in the magic crystal mine. If you don’t open a mine at home, you don’t dare to think about it. .

"It's so precious."

Roland thought for a while, feeling a little bit reluctant, but wanted to refuse.

"You don't get paid for nothing."

Leon said: "Mr. Roland doesn't have to refuse.

Leaving aside anything else, just the piece of advice you gave us is already worth such a gift. "

"I can't do it... I'm ashamed to accept it!"

Roland had no choice but to be polite while accepting the gift with a smile.

……

The next morning, Roland woke up to the melodious ringing of the bell. After studying for a while, the door was suddenly knocked.

He couldn't help covering his forehead, and when he heard the voice, he knew it wasn't the maid of the place where he was staying.

"Scott, what are you doing?"

"Roland, come and see, I'm on the headlines!"

After hearing Roland's voice, Scudder opened the door and rushed in, holding a newspaper in his hand, laughing excitedly.

Roland had no choice but to get up and get out of bed, took the newspaper and read it.

Sure enough, yesterday's Arcane Salon was published on it.

only……

"Is this the headline you mentioned?"

He pointed to a corner of the photo, and Scudder, who was standing there giggling and applauding, had question marks all over his face.

The headline clearly read Mr. Leon's warm welcome to Mr. Rowland, the winner of the Morning Star Award.

"Didn't you see that this is me? It doesn't make sense, this photo is easy to distinguish."

Scudder came over and double-checked.

That's right, such a handsome little fat man is him!
Roland covered his face.

This person's understanding of Toutiao may be different from normal people.

He put down the newspaper, cast the "screen casting technique", and read everyone's comments from the magic net.

Sure enough, everyone responded enthusiastically to his speech yesterday.

"Indeed, sometimes the magic spell is mispronounced, and it doesn't affect the casting."

"Battle songs and the like are more often mispronounced or out of tune. Many soldiers are even illiterate and don't understand the meaning, but when everyone is united and sincere, the magical resonance is more powerful than standard spellcasting."

"The development of mantras often jumps repeatedly between 'long', 'short', 'simple', and 'complex'."

"Looking at the historical period, there is often a tendency to read longer or shorter, round after round of magic reforms, in essence, work against the increase in entropy. These are the 'future trends' that Mr. Roland talked about. 'Unanimously...'"

"It seems that Mr. Roland has really grasped the development of magic, and he explained it clearly!"

"I can't bear it anymore, I want to see the result of the arcane art immediately."

"Will its appearance change the narrative style of oracle bone inscriptions and develop a new style?"

"According to this, the appearance of the bronze inscription must be a link between the past and the future, and has important significance."

Roland couldn't help smiling slightly when he saw this.

Its significance indeed lies in connecting the past and the future.

However, it is probably different from what these people think. The purpose of carrying out the bronze inscriptions by myself is to build a bridge for the evolution of Chinese characters and lay the foundation for the appearance of seal script, official script, regular script and other familiar things in later generations.

At this time, another post suddenly caught everyone's attention.

Someone talked about "my friend Poytes" that Roland used to talk about.

"Mr. Roland's friend, the well-known bard Mr. Poytes, hasn't he published his war song "No Clothes", don't just see the results of his incantation, carefully savor the narrative it constructs Grammar!"

Unexpectedly, someone has noticed the fubixing technique presented in the poems.

This is the rhetorical technique of later literature.

Both ancient and modern, classical Chinese or vernacular, are widely used.

In the eyes of the modern people of the later generations of Blue Star, these things may be commonplace, because they are encountered every day, and they are nothing more than simple examples.

But for those who have never been exposed to this, and who have not organized them systematically, the degree of shock is tantamount to another innovation.

Mr. Roland is really too strong!
Everyone regarded it as something that might appear in the bronze inscriptions, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.

Roland calculated it, and felt that it was almost time to deduce (transport) it to the Zhou Dynasty.

Many things can be put (copied) out.

Not long after, Roland went out and had breakfast with Scudder and Egwene.

They were discussing where to go later, when they suddenly saw Prince Silaire and Princess Rosa walking over from yesterday.

"Mr. Roland, excuse me, are you free?"

Silaire asked with a bit of restraint, a little embarrassed.

On the contrary, Princess Rosa was generous: "We have some questions to ask you."

"Oh, what's the problem?"

"I'm very sorry. We overheard the conversation between you and Mr. Leon yesterday. After thinking about it for a long time, we still don't understand the tribute trade system you mentioned..."

Rosa expressed her doubts.

Silaire nodded beside her.

"I see."

Roland smiled lightly, but he didn't think it was necessary to hide this matter from them, so he picked up some superficial information he knew.

Although it is superficial, in fact, because of the huge difference in the information they have, just a few things mentioned casually are enough to shock these two people from the colony of another world.

The eyes of the two were filled with splendor.

Scudder, Egwene was also very surprised.

They were all a little surprised. They didn't expect that Roland would have such an understanding of national affairs in another world.

"Thank you very much for your answer, this is our little thought."

After asking the question, Princess Rosa took out a small box from her pocket, opened it on the spot, and displayed the contents inside.

"This is……"

The eyes of the three of Roland were slightly different, and they couldn't help showing a look of surprise on their faces.

It turned out to be a leaf.

It resembles a ginkgo leaf, with a brownish-yellow surface, but it contains a magic spirit that can be felt half a meter away, and it seems that there is a strong vitality surging inside.

Yiwen has always been a high-achieving student, and she quickly recognized it when she saw it: "This is the leaf of the world tree!"

Princess Rosa said proudly: "That's right, this is the leaf of the World Tree that comes from the elves' hometown of our Kingdom of Lena.

Although the real pure-blooded elves have already moved away after thousands of years, there is still a branch and leaf of the ancient tree 'Tinyara' that has become our sacred tree.

Although... Although it has been devastated by war, some leaves that gather the essence of heaven and earth still have healing effects.

In case someone is seriously injured and dying, chew the leaves and feed the juice, which can be compared to the 7th-level magic spell "Regeneration". At the same time, it also has the effect of detoxification and clearing most of the negative effects. "

"Very precious gift, you are so kind."

For a moment, Roland wondered whether he should accept it or not.

As a result, Scudder helped to cover the box without saying a word, and stuffed it into his hand.

"Then why don't you thank them soon?"

Thank you so much!

Roland glanced at him.

But after thinking about it, it's still good.

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

The oracle bone inscription and Seris language are still being implemented on the territory of the Kingdom of Lena.

He had a premonition that he would have more contact with the siblings in the future.

Seeing Roland accepting the gift, Silaire and Rosa smiled and took the opportunity to ask for his contact information.

There is a saying that treats people softly, so you have to give it up.

……

After the Rosa siblings left, the three of Roland made an appointment to stroll around the city, taking this opportunity to buy some magic items.

At this time, Roland realized that he was actually quite rich.

After receiving the first dividend of 1575 gold coins from Hilt Company last time, I spent hundreds of them in one go, and I didn't spend much more.

This money is enough to pay Al's salary, and he lives in the mage's tower, and there are corresponding standard meals for eating and drinking.

I usually go to the teacher's place to buy good wine when I have nothing to do, and I don't need to pay extra for hosting parties to entertain the seniors.

Anyway, they make the wine by themselves, and they make peanuts and biscuits together.

From time to time, there are also benefits from Lunifuss. At most, I have tried to get two or three hundred gold coins from her a day.

Of course, coming and not going to be indecent is also, after a long time, it will be repeated slowly.

As you become famous and you have to keep in touch with a large number of people, the cost of letters is even greater.

Counting and counting, everyone sent letters to each other, and the money was earned by Mowang.

But a few months ago, there was a big income, which was 15000 gold coins from the Morning Star Award.

He has hardly moved this money since he got it, because apart from the rest of the previous dividends, and the lecturer's salary that he started to receive last month, his money has begun to grow beyond his ability to spend.

Feeling the great pressure, Roland decided to hurry up and spend it, and it's over!
The first thing he came to was the market that sold magic equipment. He picked the largest dimensional bag store here and walked in directly.

The waitresses here are young, pretty, and friendly.

Because this kind of high-end consumer goods store has not been visited by people for days, even the manager has heard the news and served in person.

"Three, the dimensional bags we sell here are fashionable in style, well-made, and absolutely reliable in performance."

Dimensional bag is a magical item that looks similar to ordinary pockets. After several eras of development, it has gradually improved from the size of sacks to waist bags, pockets and even small pockets. The overall shape is becoming more and more refined.

This is essentially a space prop that connects different dimensions, so it can hold items that are much larger than it looks from the outside.

The price of the lowest-level dimensional bag is more than 2000 gold coins, and there are different price differences depending on the style, workmanship and after-sales service.

Roland directly asked about the most expensive four-star dimensional bag in the store.

It looks like a small leather bag commonly used by adventurers. It adopts a flip-top design. The opening can be pulled far larger than it looks, which is very convenient for loading and unloading. It can also be wrapped around the waist as a small waist bag. Small pockets on the side for small everyday items.

"Sir, you really have taste. The weight limit of this kind of dimensional bag is 1500 pounds, the volume limit is 255 cubic feet, and the price is only 10500 gold coins...

(Imperial units are generally understood as 1 catty, 1 foot is fine, they are almost the same anyway.)
The weight of the modern dimension bag itself is very low, only about one pound, you can carry it as a waist bag. "

"Okay, just give me this!"

Although it hurts to spend more than 1 gold coins in one go, Roland knows that this kind of thing will come in handy sooner or later.

Skold and Yi Wen have good backgrounds, and they have already owned a one-star dimensional bag worth more than 2000 gold coins.

Because if you want to enjoy the convenience of a similar portable space, you need to master magic such as the 7th-level spell "Mage's Mansion", so that you can store it conveniently with the help of the Dimensional Gate in a disguised form.

But even then, there are limits to daily use and access.

It's impossible to suddenly want to eat an apple, and use a level 7 spell to open the door to get such a luxury, right?

Not long after, the three of Roland left after being warmly greeted by the shopkeeper, and bought a batch of pens and paper, ink, idle books and other miscellaneous items according to their respective needs. .

Roland is going to be here, in response to the previous announcement in the salon, to sort out the "Jin Wenbian" and submit it!
