Chapter 124



124 Chapter 123-copy scroll

after the lecture ended, zhao xu quickly went back to his dorm room to look for the monster guide.

this thick monster guide was inlaid with iron on the outer layer, and in the middle was a huge open blood-red monster’s eye. at the turning point of the composition, there were seven or eight red protruding beads.

Who would have thought that this thing was actually the legendary high-level divine artifact, “monster guide “?

after zhao xu flipped through the 100 questions on transfiguration, he already had a rough idea of what was going on. if a normal wizard wanted to transform into a corresponding creature, they would have to go through a lot of complicated work in the early stages, from understanding the various characteristics of the creature to spending time with it.

only by being familiar with it could one understand it and transform.

This was the pain in the heart of every mage who tried to study shapeshifting spells but ended up returning in failure.

that was why out of the 100 questions of transformation, the 17 special cases had been studied by countless mages, but none of them were possible.

When Zhao Xu put the monster guide back into his bag and went to Antonya’s office, that was the most careful path he had ever taken in his life.

Zhao Xu’s name had been carved into the core of the obelisk for a long time, and they didn’t stop him from going up the stairs.

and when antonya saw zhao xu respectfully hand her the monster guide, she just smiled and said, ” did someone tell you? ”

Zhao Xu nodded, but he said, ” can’t I be the one who found out? ”

then let me ask you, have you used your knowledge skill to search for this book? ”

zhao xu nodded.

“Have you ever read a detailed description of a divine artifact in any ancient books?”

zhao xu shook his head.

“That’s it. Divine artifacts have powerful characteristics. Other than being undetectable, they can’t be described in knowledge. that’s why their uses can only be passed down by word of mouth. books can only describe their names at best.”

antonya forcefully pushed the godly item, monster guide, back into the bookcase. zhao xu felt a little sorry for her when he saw this. a godly item had to go through such harsh treatment.

However, when he thought about how the other sub-God armor was being sent to the door, it was already a good treatment for this ” monster guide ” to be able to lie quietly on the bookcase.

” if you’re free now, let’s go. the ‘copy scroll’ class starts in the afternoon. ” after she said this, antonya immediately pulled zhao xu along and started teleporting.

zhao xu had set it so that antonya would be able to teleport him through by default, so by the time he came back to his senses, the two of them had already appeared in a mysterious room.

on the desk in the center, there were stacks of blank leather paper, which were custom-made for copying magic scrolls.

There were all kinds of quills placed in front of the desk, most of which were goose Pikes. There were also six or seven bottles of black to blue ink that were specially made for copying. Incense was also lit in the corner of the room, but it didn’t smell as pleasant as Antonya’s office.

zhao xu now understood that this was a room specially made for copying scrolls.

compared to memorizing or learning spells, copying scrolls required more rigorous environments.

For example, when he was adventuring in the carriage, he could barely memorize spells, but copying scrolls was a joke.

as a divine spell caster, the standard of advancement for an archivist is actually similar to that of a mage. You just need to be able to successfully copy level 0 and Level 1 divine spells, as well as master the two abilities of ‘dark knowledge’ and ‘Scribe Scroll’.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he realized that it was actually no different from a wizard. The only difference was that a wizard’s companion ability would be replaced by dark knowledge.

“don’t look at me, listen to me first.”

“Listen to a lecture?” Zhao Xu was surprised.

“sit down, you fool.” Antonya scoffed.

zhao xu didn’t think too much about it and just pulled out a chair and sat down.

Suddenly, he noticed that in front of him, two dark red curtains were slowly pulled open, revealing a huge transparent glass screen. In front of the screen was a huge square, and on the square, there were neatly arranged paper tables. The layout was similar to that of his room.

It was as if a desk was moved to a field to prevent cheating on earth.

at the front of the square, there was a large illusionary projection. on the projection, there was a hourglass, and there was not much sand left.

Zhao Xu was stunned as he watched this. He didn’t think that he would be given a digital lesson in Arthur.

zhao xu then realized that after he sat down in this position, the transparent glass screen in front of him was directly showing his pupils.

He could control his eyes at will and control the glass screen to display a picture-in-a picture of the scene in front of him.

It was like a huge VR screen.

the apprentices sitting below didn’t have such treatment. they were all on the square on the first floor, watching the contents of the illusion projection at the front.

“copying scrolls is a course that all mages have to learn. there’s no technical content at all, so the association made a square where the teaching content is played at a fixed time for everyone to learn this specialty. the second floor is filled with closed small rooms.”

” it’s for the advanced mages to use, and it’s also to test this new alchemy teaching product. ”

if the effect is good, it might be promoted to other specialties.

Zhao Xu finally understood that he was basically in a vip room right now.

At this moment, the hourglass had just finished leaking, and the illusionary projection began to play the teaching content. The sound was directly transmitted into the private room.

Zhao Xu quickly manipulated his eyes so that the contents of the illusion projection would be projected onto the glass screen in his room. In an instant, it took up nearly one-third of the space.

learning a specialty consumed everyone’s spirituality, and spirituality could only be compensated by leveling up.

When Zhao Xu was still a level 1 wizard, he had used a Scribe Scroll and the ability to summon his companions in exchange for the enlightened spellcaster ability.

Although he didn’t need to carry a spellbook from now on, he couldn’t use his unused spell slots to copy spells like those new Wizards.

if the spell slot for that day was a fresh fish, then copying it into a scroll was equivalent to drying the fish, which was easy to store and eat next time.

“Mentor, if I had already mastered the scribe Scroll, wouldn’t I have only needed to master the ‘dark knowledge’ ability to advance to a scroll scholar?”

Antonya was standing next to Zhao Xu at this moment. This was the first time she had come into contact with this alchemy equipment, and she was also thinking about the principles behind it.

After hearing Zhao Xu’s question, she replied, ” “That’s right.”

“Isn’t that the same as wasting an specialization?”

Zhao Xu was already listening to the contents of the illusionary teaching projection, but it was just a simple description of the background at the beginning. He could still tell what Antonya was thinking and communicate with her.

in theory, yes. The level 1 ability of the scroll is ‘copy scroll’, not an additional ability.

“It seems like I’ve earned a lot.”

As Zhao Xu said this, he thought to himself that his enlightened spellcaster ability wasn’t bad at all.

“i can’t say it’s a profit.” At this moment, Antonya was already close to the screen and was observing the lines on it. among high-level Wizards, there are actually a few who have mastered the method to exchange talents.

“what do you mean?”

“for example, change your copy scroll to a ‘chaos specialty’, and then change the’ chaos specialty ‘to the specialty you want. This way, the spirituality of your two Scribe Scroll specialties won’t go to waste.” Antonya explained.

and this can be done through the level eight spell ‘cast away from chaos’ and ‘convert to chaos’. This is the legendary card washing.

zhao xu, who had already decided to study hard, felt a lot better when he heard this idea.

The mages were able to do so many things that made Zhao Xu and the other Warriors envious.

this was also the reason why he wanted to defect to the mage camp, not just to join if he couldn’t win.

The main thing was that if a warrior wanted to fight against a spellcaster, he would have to be equipped with all kinds of magical items created by the spellcaster.

then, teacher, my enlightened spellcaster is actually still the price of two specialties, right? ” Zhao Xu also nodded.

“for the residents of arthur, the price might be a little high, but for you, without enlightened spell caster, you can’t possibly level up so quickly in a year. after all, you’re not that smart.”

antonya attacked him mercilessly.

“teacher, what have you discussed in the past year?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask.

this involves a prophecy. You just have to try your best to level up now.

Antonya didn’t explain much.

at this moment, the illusory projection had already started explaining the key to the copying of the scroll, and zhao xu’s entire mind and body were drawn over to it.

In the square, several apprentice mage players were holding pens and writing down the key points of the lecture. To them, if they missed this lecture, it would not be so easy to get another one.

He could only use these materials for free in this class.

this also made them listen to the class more seriously than when they were in school on earth.

[ Scribe Scroll ], [ concoct potions ], [ create wands ], and other specialties were all part of the same series of specialties.

the price of a successful copy scroll was the number of spell circles multiplied by the spellcaster’s level, and then multiplied by the base price of 25 gold coins.

Therefore, the estimated selling price of a level 1 spell scroll was 1 * 1 * 25 = 25 gold coins, and a level 0 scroll would only be sold for 12.5 gold coins if the price was halved.

the manufacturing process would cost about half of the selling price.

so, when zhao xu successfully copied a level 1 scroll, not only did it cost him the same spell slot that he had, but he also had to spend 12.5 gold coins on materials.

more importantly, it would consume his experience points and slow down his leveling speed.

thinking about it, 10 arrows would only cost 1 gold coin, and a level-1 scroll would cost 12.5 gold coins. after conversion, using the scroll to release a magic missile would also cost a lot.

that was why mages usually only copied or bought scrolls for spells that they didn’t usually prepare.

for example, zhao xu had used the spell ” detect hidden door ” when he was adventuring in the dungeons. if one wasn’t planning on going to the dungeons, no one would be stupid enough to use this spell.

However, the world was unpredictable, and who knew what would happen all of a sudden? that was why scrolls had always been an important tool for mages.

this time, after zhao xu learned the power of the scribe scroll, he was finally able to make up for the lack of a crippled leg.

according to the mages ‘statistics, a scroll worth 1000 gold pieces would take about one day to copy. a legendary level-9 scroll would cost 3000 gold pieces, so it would take three days to copy.

as for those that cost less than 1000 gold pieces, the lowest level 1 scroll would take one hour, while level 0 scrolls would take half an hour.

so zhao xu might have to light up his candle at night and stay up all night to copy these spell scrolls.

This was the fate of the mages in Arthur.

but zhao xu looked at the exquisite quill pen that he wasn’t used to and sighed deeply.

the quill pen had been criticized countless times on the forum, and most players were used to using neutral pens, and they rarely used pencils and ballpoint pens.

in order to copy the scroll, they had to use this specific quill pen, which made every player feel helpless.

however, when they tried to use their own charcoal pens, even if they were dipped in ink, the scrolls they copied were not powerful at all.

this was because the goose feathers used to copy the scroll were produced from specially bred geese. the ink used to copy the scroll was also tested for thousands of years before it became a stable formula today. it was an exclusive product of the wizard association.

how could it be so easy to replicate the same effect?

so even though using a quill was uncomfortable and inconvenient, zhao xu had to overcome it himself.

but just as zhao xu picked up his quill, antonya said, ” “let’s play a little game.”

after he finished speaking, he drew an arc in the air with a quill and it landed in front of zhao xu’s table. however, it stood up in the air.

“this is an automatic quill pen.”
