Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1545 Naming and Exploration

Isn't the independent Austrian fire device the official name?
Xia Duo was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized that the official name Iolum mentioned should be a "common name" or "synonym" like "automobile" and "gasoline-electric hybrid four-wheeler".

The name "Independent Austrian Fire Device" cannot be said badly, but such a complicated naming method is not conducive to dissemination, and there is also a risk of leaking secrets.

Of course, in Xia Duo's view, this kind of reason is not valid. First of all, the device itself will not be widely spread. Even if the effect is spread, the public will name it, and there is no need for them, the creators, to draw up in advance.

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

In fact, as long as the materials are suitable, basically every grand arcanist has the ability to reproduce one, but there are differences in energy output efficiency and service life.

Compared to the device itself, the Davy's string preparation spell and even the Davy's string member automatic preparation machine are more worthy of secrecy.

From Xia Duo's point of view, the reason why Iolum wants to give the independent Olympic fire device a so-called official name is probably because of him!
Perhaps Iolum has even thought of a new name, and the current discussion may be just to show respect for other participants.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but glanced at Brod. Sure enough, this guy's dazed face looked like when he just woke up, but can you pretend to be a little bit, it seems that I am a bit different!
"Official name? Should it be called [Iolum's Endless Source of Arcane Energy]?" Xia Duo asked tentatively.

cough--

Iolum coughed heavily, then stared at Xiaduo strangely for a while, and then said: "The idea of ​​the independent Austrian fire device was not created by me, I can't bear the name."

"The teacher's idea is—"

"My idea is that this device has extraordinary potential. For us arcanists, this extraordinary creation, which is called an artifact, was born in our hands. Maybe it was just the goddess who let it appear in our hands. How can I be greedy for such a reputation? What! How about calling it [Goddess Gift]!"

Iolum's solemn expression almost made Xia Duo think that he suddenly became a fanatic of the goddess of magic, but Xia Duo knew that this was impossible.

Even though Iolum possesses the holy power of a goddess, it is not that Iolum complies with the teachings and ideas of the Goddess of Magic in essence, but that the teachings and ideas of the goddess happen to have little conflict with Iolum.

For Xia Duo, as long as he is willing, he can perceive the holy power of the goddess of magic at any time. After all, the goddess' teaching philosophy is very simple and simple. To sum it up in one sentence——

Love magic, and use magic on top of it.

Of course, there are many ideas that have been extended from this, such as——

Tend to be conservative, "collect and protect the secrets of magic, not to let it leak out", "cast spells carefully, and not waste the gift of the goddess";
"Innovation and openness are the source of magic development" and even "actively disseminate magic knowledge" and so on.

And because "love" is difficult to define, in fact, the goddess' mind is also difficult to guess, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is capricious.

Most Nether mages' love of magic is selfish, making it nearly impossible for true fanatics to emerge among the mage community.

Basically, most of them came for benefits. If there were no benefits such as "sacred power" and "divine grace", Xia Duo believed that most of the mysterious temples in Netheril might close down within a day.

This is actually very similar to the legend of so-called scientists who believe in gods on earth. Scientists may believe in gods, but the deeper they study, the more they believe in the laws of nature, not a specific personified god.

The Nether Mage is also, and it can even be said that the Nether Mage is more willing to accept the Lord of Radiance than the Goddess of Magic.

It's just that in different positions, the issues that need to be considered are different. Iolum suddenly proposed to use "Goddess Bounty" to name the independent Austrian fire device. The only reason that Xia Duo can think of is probably only one——

The other party also had the same worries as him, worrying that the Arcanist was not the goddess' own son, but a stealer of the goddess' authority.

Even if the goddess of magic is not the magic net itself, can she really turn a blind eye to potential competitors like arcanists?

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

And as the number of arcanists increases, the potential competitors will increase again.

This is indeed a factor that has to be considered.

At first, Xia Duo thought that Iolum wanted to "act like a baby" and "flatter" the goddess, but after thinking about it carefully, isn't this trying to test the goddess?
See if it is the "mother" or the "ultimate boss"!
……

After a moment of silence and thought, Xia Duo expressed his thoughts to Iolum, "The name [Goddess Gift] is still a bit revealing, why not call it [Goddess Tears]!"

The name "Gift of the Goddess" chosen by Iolum is in the Netherese language. It is too straightforward and explicit, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the public to accept it.

However, Xia Duo chose the name [Goddess Tears] in the elf language. There are many words for "tears" in the elf language. Xia Duo just chose a word with the meaning of "gift" and "maternal love".

Although it is also suspected of flattery, it is more or less subtle, and taking an elf name can also confuse and frighten the elf kingdoms, lest the independent Austrian fire device be surrounded and blocked as soon as it shows up.

"Mysera?"

Iolum repeated the name Shadow had given to the independent Arcane Fire Device. He didn't realize it at first, but he realized it when he repeated it for the second time. He didn't pronounce it right. It should be the Elven language , and if nothing else, it's a new elf word created on the spur of the moment.

But he quickly deciphered the specific meaning of the name—the gift of Mystril, or literally translated as "Tears of Mystril".

"How did you come up with the Elvish name?"

"Uh--"

Xia Duo looked back at Brod and the others at the side. Brod was still bewildered at this moment, although there were some eyes that were as expected, but Xia Duo looked at him as if he really knew nothing. .

So he didn't say it in person, but instead sent a message to inform: "I heard that the goddess encourages innovation, if this device and this name can be approved by the goddess—"

Xia Duo didn't say the following words, but Iolum understood immediately, took a deep look at Xia Duo, and then announced: "That's it, from now on the independent Austrian fire device will be [Mythra]!"

In this regard, Lowe, Broad and others are of course in favor of it.
