Inside the residence in the Orvisto Wizard Tower.
Roland was exchanging mail with Bruno, a member of his school.
"Mr. Roland, the Seris Secret Seal Art I told you about has finally seen a breakthrough!
"It was all thanks to your work on Seal Script. I've finished magically adapting the parts related to the Arcane Mark..."
Bruno was one of the two talented Arcanists Roland had met while cultivating ties with the Corlens Family. He had previously tried adapting Oracle-Bone Magicalization using the Level 0 spell Arcane Mark as his foundation.
Now, it had actually developed into the Seris Secret Seal Art.
This breakthrough had come after the introduction of Seal Script.
After reading the message, Roland fell into thought.
The Arcane Mark is a special spell that leaves a personal mark on an object. It contains magical and mental energy and can be used for identification, labeling, and so on.
Societies with high magic civilizations usually use it as a personal signature or seal. Sometimes, it can also serve for tracking and authentication.
It might not be much use in combat, but it's vitally important to the operation of an entire civilization.
Bruno had already developed the Seris Secret Seal Art using Oracle, then continued advancing it as Bronze Script was published and magically adapted.
I never expected the final breakthrough to come only after Seal Script appeared!
This might have had something to do with the "meaning" inherent in Seal Script itself.
The study of seals originated in epigraphy, which examined ancient bronze vessels and stone inscriptions. In the Chinese civilization of Blue Star in his previous life, ancient seals had mostly used Seal Script and were produced by casting or engraving.
This unseen connection had endowed it with ample "meaning."
He could hardly explain such matters, so
