Arcane Lord

Isn't the independent arcane device the official name?

Xia Duo was stunned at first, but then realized that the official name Iolum mentioned should be a "common name" or "general name" similar to "car" to "gasoline hybrid four-wheel vehicle".

The name "Independent Arcane Fire Device" cannot be said to be bad, but such a complicated naming method is not conducive to communication, and it also risks leaking secrets.

Of course, in Xia Duo's view, none of these reasons are valid. First of all, the device itself will not be widely disseminated. Even if the effect spreads, the public will have a name for it. There is no need for their group of creators to formulate it in advance.

As for the risk of leaking secrets, as long as the device is given out, the risk will inevitably exist, which is much greater than the risk of name leaks.

In fact, as long as the materials are suitable, basically every great arcanist is capable of replicating one. However, there are differences in energy output efficiency and service life.

Compared to the device itself, the Davy String Preparation Spell and even the Davy String Component Automatic Preparation Machine deserve to be kept secret.

In Shado's view, the reason why Iolum wanted to give the independent arcane fire device a so-called official name was probably because he was thinking of that person!

Perhaps Iolum has already thought of a new name, and the current discussion may just be to show respect for other participants.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but glance at Brod. Sure enough, this guy's confused look looked exactly like when he just woke up. It's just that you can pretend to be more like him. This makes me look a little different!

"Formal name? How about it being called [Iolum's Endless Arcana Energy Source]?" Shado asked tentatively.

cough--

Iolum coughed heavily, then stared at Xia Duo strangely for a while, and then said: "I was not the first to create the idea of ​​an independent arcane fire device. I can't bear the name."

"The teacher's idea is-"

"My idea is that this device has extraordinary potential. Such extraordinary creations, which are called artifacts for us arcanists, were born in our hands. Perhaps it was just the goddess who borrowed our hands to bring it to life. How can I covet such a reputation? Why not call it [Goddess’ Gift]?”

The solemn look on Iolum's face almost made Shado think that he had suddenly become a fanatic believer in the goddess of magic, but Shado knew that this was impossible.

Even though Iolum possesses the holy power of the goddess, essentially it is not that Iolum conforms to the teachings and concepts of the goddess of magic, but that the goddess's teachings and concepts happen to have little conflict with Iolum.

As far as Sha Duo is concerned, as long as he is willing, he can sense the holy power of the goddess of magic at any time. After all, the goddess's teachings and concepts are very simple and simple. It can be summed up in one sentence -

Love magic and use magic based on that.

Of course, there are many concepts that extend from this, such as——

Tend to be conservative, "collect and protect the secrets of magic from leaking out", "cast spells carefully and not waste the goddess's gifts";

Trending towards openness, "innovation and openness are the source of the development of magic" and even "actively spreading magic knowledge", etc.

And because "love" is difficult to define, in fact it is also difficult to fathom the goddess's thoughts. It is no exaggeration to say that she is capricious.

The vast majority of Nese mages have a selfish love for magic, which makes it almost impossible for true fanatics to emerge among the mage community.

Basically, most of them came for the benefit. If there were no benefits such as "Holy Power" and "Divine Grace", Shado believed that most of the mysterious temples in Netheril might close down in one day.

This is actually very similar to the so-called legend of scientists on earth believing in gods. Scientists may believe in gods, but the deeper they study, the more they believe in the laws of nature rather than a specific personal god.

The same goes for Mage Nese. It can even be said that Mage Nese is more willing to accept the Lord of Glory than the Goddess of Magic.

It's just that in different locations, the issues that need to be considered are different. Iolum suddenly proposed to name the independent arcane fire device after "Gift of the Goddess". The only reason that Shado can think of is probably only one -

The other party also had the same worries as him, worried that the arcanist was not the biological son of the goddess, but a thief of the goddess's authority.

Even if the Goddess of Magic is not the Magic Web itself, will she really turn a blind eye to potential competitors like the Arcanist?

The birth of an independent arcane fire device, even if it is just a first-generation product, means that the power of arcanists has been greatly enhanced, which will further increase the number of arcanists.

As the number of arcanists increases, the number of potential competitors increases.

This is indeed a factor that must be considered.

At first, Xia Duo thought that Iolum wanted to "act coquettishly" and "flatter" the goddess, but after thinking about it carefully, wasn't this a way to test the goddess?

Find out whether she is the "real mother" or the "ultimate boss"!

…

After a moment of silence and thought, Sha Duo told Iolum what he thought, "The name [Goddess's Gift] is still a bit revealing, why not call it [Goddess's Tears]!"

Iolum's name "Goddess's Gift" was chosen in the Nese language. It is too straightforward and explicit, and it is probably difficult for the public to accept it.

However, Xia Duo's name [Tears of the Goddess] was chosen in the Elvish language. There are many words for "tears" in Elvish language, and Xia Duo happened to choose a word that means "gift" and "maternal love".

Although it is a bit suspected of flattery, it is more or less subtle, and giving an elf name can also confuse and frighten the elf countries, lest the independent arcane fire device be surrounded and suppressed as soon as it appears.

"Mythra?"

Iolum repeated the name that Shado had given to the independent arcane fire device. He didn't realize it at first, but he didn't realize it until he repeated it a second time. He didn't pronounce it correctly. It should be in Elvish language. , and if nothing else, it is a temporary new word in Elvish language.

But he quickly deciphered the specific meaning of the name - Mythril's Gift, or literally translated as "Mythril's Tears".

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​an Elvish name?"

"Well--"

Xia Duo looked back at Brod and the others. Brod still looked confused at this time. Although there were some expressions that were true, Xia Duo looked at him as if he really didn't know anything. .

So he didn't say it to his face, but sent a message instead: "I heard that the goddess encourages innovation. If this device and this name can be approved by the goddess -"

Sha Duo didn't say anything else, but Iolum revealed it immediately, took a deep look at Sha Duo, and then announced: "It's settled, from now on the independent arcane fire device will be [Mythra]!"

Of course, Lowe, Broad and others are in favor of this.
