The Truth of Magic Chapter 123: Transcript scroll (one/four)
After the forum was over, Zhao Xu hurried back to the dormitory to find the "Monster Illustrated Book".
The outer layer of this heavy monster illustration book is inlaid with iron sheets, and in the middle is a huge opened blood-red monster eye. At the turning point of the composition, seven or eight bright red raised beads are also inlaid.
Who can think of this thing, it is actually the legendary high-level artifact "Monster Illustrated Book".
After Zhao Xu went through the 100-question book of Transformation at the meeting, it was probably clear that if a common mage wanted to transform into a corresponding creature, he had to do complicated work in the early stage, from understanding the various characteristics of the creature to getting along for a long time.
Only when you are familiar can you understand and deform.
This is the pain in the heart of every wizard who tries to study transformation spells, but finally returns with helplessness.
So in Transformation 100 Questions, those 17 special cases have been studied by countless wizards, but each one is almost impossible to realize.
When Zhao Xu put the "Monster Illustrated Book" back in his backpack and took it to Antinoya's office, that section of the road can be said to be the most cautious path he has walked in his life.
Zhao Xu's name has long been inscribed in the core of the obelisk, and he didn't stop him until he went upstairs.
And when Antinoya saw Zhao Xu respectfully handing over the "Monster Illustrated Book", she just smiled slightly, "Did someone tell you?"
Zhao Xu nodded but said in his mouth, "Can't I find it?"
"Then I ask you, have you retrieved this book with your knowledge and skills?"
Zhao Xu nodded.
"Have you seen a detailed description of the artifact in any classics?"
Zhao Xu shook his head.
"That's not it. Sacred artifacts have powerful characteristics. Apart from being undetectable, they cannot be described in knowledge. So their function can only be passed on by word of mouth, and books are at best describing names."
At this time, Antinoya squeezed the magical "Monster Illustrated Book" back into the bookcase forcibly, making Zhao Xu feel a little distressed, and a magical tool was actually subjected to such harsh treatment.
But think about another piece of sub-artifact armor, which is greeted by the door. This "Monster Illustrated Book" can lie quietly on the bookcase, which is already a good treatment.
"If you are free now, let's go. It's just that the afternoon's "Transcription Scroll" will start." After that, Antinoya directly pulled Zhao Xu and began to transmit.
Zhao Xu has always set by default to pass Antinoya's teleportation technique, so when he recovered, the two had already appeared in a mysterious room.
On the most central desk, there are stacks of blank leather papers, specially tailored to transcribe magic scrolls.
A variety of quill pens are also placed in front of the desk, most of which are quill pens, six or seven bottles of specially made copying ink from dark black to blue, and the corners of the room are also lit with incense, but the smell It doesn't have the pleasant fragrance of Antinoya's office.
Zhao Xu has understood that this is a special room for copying scrolls.
Compared with memorizing spells or learning spells, copying scrolls needs to be performed in a more severe environment.
Like he used to go on an adventure in the carriage before, the memory spell is still barely, and the transcription of the scroll is just a joke.
"As a divine spellcaster profession, the dossier scholar’s promotion criteria are actually similar to those of the mage, that is, you can successfully transcribe zero-level divine magic, first-level divine magic, and master both the “dark knowledge” and the “transcription scroll”. Ability is enough."
As soon as Zhao Xu heard it, he was actually no different from a mage. He just replaced the mage's familiar ability with the ability of dark learning.
"Don't look at me, you can listen first."
"Listen?" Zhao Xu surprised?
"Sit down, idiot." Antinoya whispered.
Zhao Xu didn't think too much, he pulled the stool away and sat down.
Suddenly noticed that in front of him, two dark red curtains were slowly opened, revealing a huge transparent glass screen, and under the front of the screen was a huge square, and the square was piled up neatly. The layout of a paper table is similar to that in his room.
It's like moving desks to the playground for exams on the earth in order to prevent cheating.
At the very front of the square, there is a large illusion projection. On the projection, there is an hourglass, and there is not much sand left on it.
Zhao Xu was stunned. He didn't expect to start a digital teaching in Arthur.
And Zhao Xu discovered that after he was sitting in this position, the transparent glass screen in front of him was hooked to his pupils.
By controlling his eyeballs at will, he can manipulate the glass screen to display a picture-in-picture with enlarged details of the front picture.
It's like a huge VR screen.
The apprentices of the mage sitting below don't have this treatment. They are all in the square on the first floor, watching the illusion projection at the front show the content.
"The course of copying scrolls, which all masters must learn, has no technical content. Therefore, the association has set up a square that constantly broadcasts teaching content to provide everyone with this expertise. This second floor is the first floor. Small closed rooms."
"It is not only for advanced mages, but also for testing this new type of alchemy teaching product."
"If the effect is good, it may be promoted to other specialties in the future."
Zhao Xu knew at this time that he was now in the VIP box.
At this moment, the hourglass just finished leaking, and the phantom projection also began to play the teaching content, and the sound was directly transmitted into this box.
Zhao Xu hurriedly manipulated his eyeballs to project the content of the illusion projection onto the glass screen of his room, which suddenly took up nearly one-third of the space.
Learning expertise needs to consume everyone's spirituality, and spirituality can only be made up for by upgrading.
When Zhao Xu was a 1st-level mage, he bought the ability of "wisdom spellcaster" at the price of copying scrolls and summoning familiars.
Although he doesn't have to memorize spell books from now on, he can't be like those novice wizards. In his spare time, he can use the unused spell slots to copy spells.
If the spell slot of the day is a fresh fish, then transcribing it into a scroll is equivalent to drying the fish for storage and next consumption.
"Teacher, if I have mastered the Transcript Scrolls before, this promotion to the Scroll Scholars, isn't it equivalent to only mastering the ability of a ‘dark learning’?"
Antinoya was standing next to Zhao Xu at this time. It was the first time she had come into contact with this set of alchemy equipment, and she was also thinking about its principles.
After hearing Zhao Xu’s question, she replied: "Yes."
"Isn't that a waste of expertise?"
At this time, Zhao Xu was already listening to the content of the illusion teaching projection, but at the beginning, it was all background descriptions of clear soup and water, and he could still distinguish between his mind and Antinoya's corner.
"Theoretically, the first level ability of the dossier is to ‘transcribe scrolls’ rather than gaining extra expertise."
"It seems that I still made a profit."
Zhao Xu said, thinking to himself that his ‘wisdom spellcaster’ ability is not lost at all.
"I can't say earning it." At this time, Antinoya was already close to the screen, observing the lines on it, "Among the advanced mages, a few people actually mastered the method of replacing their expertise."
"How to say?"
"For example, change your transcription scroll to'Chaos Specialty', and then change the'Chaos Specialty' to the specialty you want. In this way, the spirituality of your two transcription scroll specialties will not be wasted." Noya explained.
"And this can be done through the eight-level spells "Abandon Chaos" and "Convert to Chaos". This is the legendary shuffle card."
Zhao Xu, who has determined to study hard, has a much better mentality when he hears this idea.
Mages are able to play so many tricks that warriors like Zhao Xu envy.
This is also the reason why he wants to defect to the mage camp, not only joins if he can't fight.
The main reason is that if the warrior wants to be able to fight the spellcaster, he must also be equipped with various magic items created by the spellcaster.
"The wise spellcaster who teaches me is actually the price of two specialties, right?" Zhao Xu also nodded at this time.
"For the residents of Arthur, the cost may be a bit high, but for you, without a wise spellcaster, you can't be able to upgrade in a short time within a year. After all, you are not really that smart."
Antinoya attacked mercilessly.
"Teacher, one year, is there anything special?" At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn't hold back, and asked.
"This involves a prediction, you just need to upgrade as much as possible now."
Antinoya didn't explain too much.
At this time, Illusory Projection has begun to talk about the key to the transcription scroll, and Zhao Xu's whole body and mind has also been drawn over.
In the square, several player mage apprentices are holding pens and writing straightforwardly, recording the key points of this explanation. For them, it is not so easy for them to miss this time and want to queue up again.
Only in this class can these materials be used for free.
This also makes them listen to the class, and are more serious than when they were in school on the earth.
"Transcript Scroll", like the specialties of "Potion Making" and "Making Wands", is a sub-series of the specialties of making items.
After the successful transcription of the scroll, the price is the number of spells multiplied by the caster level, and then multiplied by the base number of 25 gold coins.
So the estimated price of the first-level magic scroll is 1*1*25=25 gold coins, and the zero-level scroll only sells for 7.5 gold coins at half.
The manufacturing process will probably cost half of the price.
So Zhao Xu successfully copied a first-level scroll, in addition to consuming his own corresponding spell slot, he also had to spend 12.5 gold coins in material costs.
More importantly, it will consume his experience points and slow down his upgrade speed.
Thinking that ten crossbow arrows are only 1 gold coin, a first-level scroll costs 12.5 gold coins, and it is expensive to use the scroll to release a magic missile to hit people.
So wizards generally only copy or buy scrolls of spells that are not usually prepared.
Such as the "detect secret door" spell used by Zhao Xu during his adventures in the dungeon. If he is not ready to go to the dungeon, no one would have burned his mind to prepare this spell.
But the world is unpredictable~IndoMTL.com~Who knows what will happen suddenly, so scrolls have always been an important tool for wizards.
This time after Zhao Xu learned the ability to "transcribe scrolls", he finally made up for the lack of his lame leg.
According to the big data statistics of the mages, the copying time of a scroll worth 1000GP is about 1 day, like the legendary ninth-level scroll with 3000GP, then it will take three days to copy.
For those with less than 1000GP, the simplest first-level reel and zero-level reel are guaranteed for one hour.
So Zhao Xu may have to light a candle in the evening and stay up late to copy these spell scrolls.
This is also the fate of the Masters of Arthur.
It's just that Zhao Xu looked at it quite delicately, but sighed deeply with the quill pen he was not used to.
The quill pen has been complained countless times on forums. Most players are accustomed to using gel pens. Pencils and ballpoint pens are used less.
In order to copy the scrolls, I had to use this designated quill pen, which made every player helpless.
It's just that they tried to use their own charcoal pens, even if they were stained with ink, the copied scrolls didn't have the slightest power.
Because the goose feathers used to transcribe the scrolls are exclusively produced by the kind of goose specially bred, the transcript ink has also become the stable formula of today after thousands of years of experimentation, as the exclusive monopoly product of the Mage Association.
Where is it so easy to reproduce the same effect.
So even if the quill is uncomfortable to use, Zhao Xu can only overcome it by himself.
It's just that when Zhao Xu just picked up the quill, Antinoya said, "Play a little game."
After a quill traversed the arc, it landed on Zhao Xu's table, but stood up out of thin air.
"This is an automatic shorthand quill pen."
