At the end of the month, in a small conference room at the Arcane Committee headquarters.

The three archmages, Orvistor, Runeves, and Watson, sat in front of the small round table that was regarded as the "Arcane Judgment Seat" by countless arcanists, and began to conduct review reviews.

Reviewing arcane papers is essentially a screening of knowledge, which is one of the highest powers within the empire.

This power has been divided into the hands of the Arcane Committee, in the hands of the archmage on duty and the tower spirit (artificial intelligence) linked to the magic network. The three archmages now exercise the power of life and death on behalf of the part of the population that is the archmage on duty.

.

They have the qualifications to make a final selection of papers for publication, which is also an important basis for arcanists to evaluate their results.

This scene looks like a courtroom, but in fact it's not much different.

While waiting for the start, the three archmages were sorting out the documents in their hands, checking whether they were complete. Several quills were floating in the air, writing something on the record scroll. Several rows of high-level mages acting as scribes were in the hearing room at the back.

Sitting on top, these are the authorities and elites of magical civilization.

They waited quietly for the review review to begin, occasionally communicating their opinions with eyes or gestures. The whole scene seemed solemn and solemn, with only the sound of rustling paper and quills.

Finally, the host's speech broke the silence.

“The re-examination is now starting. A total of 123 submissions were received in this round. Twelve manuscripts passed the preliminary review with one vote, four manuscripts passed the preliminary review with a second vote, and one manuscript passed the preliminary review with three votes.

According to the process, three of the ten manuscripts in total will be selected from the five with the highest scores and the five with the highest author achievement index as the new round of candidate manuscripts, and will enter the final review process together with the first two rounds of manuscripts..."

During the host's narration, standard light screens of screen projection appeared in front of the three archmages.

A table listing the titles of numerous manuscripts appears on it.

"Understanding and Application of Magic Based on Elemental Properties"

"Practical Applications of Gravity Magic"

"Research on the Application of "Anaya Illusion Technique" in Combat"

"The Limits of Healing Magic and Its Implications for Biology"

"Time Magic and the Relativity of Space and Time"

"Potential Threats and Defense Strategies of "Fros Teleportation""

"The Fusion of Arcane and Engineering - From Mechanical Magic to Intelligent Golems"

"Research on the auxiliary value of the prophecy magic "Eye of Wealth" in investment decision-making"

"An in-depth study of the emotional manipulation of succubus using "Oath from Another World"

Roland's new paper is also among them.

"A New Type of Practical Writing - Research on Oracle Bone Writing"

"I recommend this paper on arcana and engineering. The intelligent puppet technology mentioned in it may trigger a new round of changes in the alchemy industry. Now the empire is conquering the outer lands and is in urgent need of more people who can quickly invest in the battlefield.

Combat power used in actual combat..."

Archmage Ovisto spoke first, leading to the ensuing discussion.

The scribes each used copying skills to record quickly, and at the same time they were observing and learning.

After some deliberation.

Runives said: "I recommend this paper on the study of oracle bone writing. It can be said to be a rare masterpiece of linguistics in recent times. It has revealed to us the possibility of a new type of ideographic writing to a great extent. At Lain has always been

We pay attention to the transformation project of language and characters, but phonetic pronunciation has always been the mainstream..."

The alternate committee members and high-level mages who were observing nodded secretly.

During this time, they also read the abstract of the paper and got a general idea.

It is indeed a relatively rare mature ideogram.

Master Watson suddenly spoke: "I object!"

The host signaled: "Please state your reasons."

"I think this paper is not creative enough and rates it as low quality!"

Master Watson slapped the table and said.

"As we all know, the Rune School has entered a dead end in theoretical research. While many people are struggling to find a way out, there are also a small group of guys who are full and have nothing to do, and they are studying some imaginary language of esotericism all day long! "

Runives frowned slightly: "Sir Watson, please pay attention to your behavior and words."

Master Watson turned a deaf ear, danced around, and spattered saliva, and continued: "They think that a language system imagined out of thin air can be compared to the efforts of the predecessors of the Rune School for thousands of years, and wantonly created all kinds of irregularities. Language and writing confuse people.

What’s more, when you say, ‘It’s already like this anyway’... Listen, is that still human talk?

It is undeniable that language and writing are created by people. When necessary, they must be updated and replaced to maintain vitality.

Moreover, Atrein's writing system has indeed reached the point where it cannot be broken or established.

But adaptation is not nonsense, and innovation is by no means a blind pursuit of novelty!

Resolutely oppose being unconventional! Resolutely oppose sensationalism!

The language and characters you created have become the official standard, and the temptation to leave your name in history is too great. What will be the result?

The result is to raise a large group of uneducated and unskilled people who use their shallow background and do opportunistic things in the name of academics.

This is something we must strictly put an end to!”

Runifusi said displeasedly: "Master Watson, I very much agree with what you said, but what does this have to do with the paper we are discussing now?"

"Of course it does matter. Can't you see that this paper is just fabrication?"

The grumpy little old man blew his beard and stared, shaking the information in his hand.

"Look at the character creation method it provides, the Japanese character is a circle with a dot in the middle, which represents the luminous properties.

The shape of fire is close to the mountain, with many hot flames...

What kind of bullshit is this?

And if you look at the words like shit, urine, etc. in this oracle bone inscription...it's just a child's graffiti, it's so vulgar!"

Runives was unconvinced and said: "The ancient ancestors used their own observation and imagination to create words, thereby gaining the power to express their emotions. It originally developed from this kind of simple drawing.

Moreover, the word-making methods mentioned in it include pictograms, meanings, meanings, and onomatopoeia, which are all very consistent with linguistic logic and are not as simple as the graffiti you mentioned."

"Lunivers, don't forget that language and writing need to be related to magic. Just relying on these alone won't work!"

Master Watson banged the table and said loudly.

"Nowadays, there is a concept in the academic circles that the Rune School should have a purely theoretical system that can separate language and magic and conduct separate research.

Some people even go back to ancient times, when humans had no language and writing created before they had the ability to master magic, and there was no need to consider magic factors.

But this is not the ancient times, but the era covered by the magic network!

A language and text will be meaningless if it does not have the power to evoke magical resonance!"
