Chapter 124: Record (2/4)
Antinoa put down the "automatic shorthand quill pen", briefly explained how to use it, and left.
Zhao Xu picked up this magic quill pen, it looked similar to an ordinary quill pen, but it was worth 1,750 gold coins.
According to Antinoya, as long as he awakens the specialty of "transcribing scrolls" and then uses dragon language, he will be able to activate the quill and start writing according to his will.
Although it can only be started once a day, it is strong in that it can be unhosted.
As long as Zhao Xu activated it before falling asleep, it would be able to work until it copied the entire spell.
However, there is another premise for it to become something for Zhao Xu.
It was Zhao Xude who was able to activate this "automatic shorthand quill pen" before the end of the illusion projection.
The premise of activation is naturally that he has mastered the specialty of "copying scrolls".
The posts that everyone on the forum pressed to transcribe the scrolls with a quill pen have become more and more fast.
Zhao Xu took a deep breath, focused his attention on the illusionary projection, and began to think about the mystery of copying the scroll.
Ever since he had awakened the Wisdom Spellcaster, transcribing spells into his mind had been as simple as eating.
Those spell models are like stone tablets in the deep mountains and old forests, others are not easy to climb up, take a look, and then go down the mountain to honestly copy the content on the stone tablets they see.
I don't go back and forth a few times, and I can't guarantee that what I understand is correct or not.
This is also the reason why it takes a day for ordinary mages to study and transcribe spells into spell books, and it takes no more than a few minutes to transcribe them after understanding.
As for consuming spells, transcribing them into scrolls, it is because it belongs to the manufacturing process, which will start from half an hour at level zero to three days at level nine spells.
From the start of the game to the present, most mages have basically spent their time understanding the matter of transcribing spells, and they can't fight monsters, and they blindly act as porters of spell spells.
Otherwise, the mage deletion incident would not have been brewed so easily.
At the beginning, Zhao Xu relied on the ability of "Wisdom Caster of Wisdom", and he copied spells into his heart, which was equivalent to taking a cable car with a camera up the mountain and coming back after shooting, so he naturally couldn't understand the hard work of ordinary mage players.
It took years or even a decade for the inhabitants of Arthur to complete their mage training, and it was never an empty phrase.
Slowly, Zhao Xu held his pen, dipped it in special ink, and began to write on the flattened vellum according to the spell model in his heart.
The object that Zhao Xu chose to transcribe was the "reading magic" that was playing the key points of transcription on the illusion projection.
This spell is the simplest and most familiar to the majority of the mage community.
And when the pen in Zhao Xu's hand began to sketch and wander, his heart slowly calmed down.
In the square, many mage apprentices were scratching their heads.
It's easy to draw a scoop with a gourd, but it's not so easy to make a copied scroll magical.
When the spell transcription is completed, the entire spell casting process, including the various spell materials and experience consumption, has been integrated into the scroll.
This is also the reason why ordinary people who have never learned spells, as long as they have been trained in the ability to "use magic devices", they can cast spells with scrolls.
The mage apprentices present did not obtain spell slots, so they learned to transcribe scroll abilities, which were first used to transcribe spells to spell books.
Each of them had mastered the spell "Reading Magic", which was the only spell that could be memorized on its own without having to copy it in a spell book.
For the mage apprentices in the field, this is not only a training to copy scrolls, but also a competition.
Most of the people selected by Floating City to participate in the training of copying scrolls this time are mage apprentices who have not yet started this course, so it is convenient for comparison.
And in order to motivate these apprentices, Floating City also promised that the duration of the course would be three hours, and before the end of the course, the first person to successfully awaken the ability to copy scrolls could receive an "automatic shorthand quill pen".
The way to do this is to be able to transcribe the "reading magic" they have memorized in their hearts to their spell books.
Because you don't need to spend half a day learning to understand spells, as long as you get this ability, it will be a matter of copying it all at once.
This temptation of almost 2000GP caused a sensation on the spot for these apprentices.
Many novice mageists from ordinary backgrounds have made up their minds to bribe their instructors with this quill as a prize to get them to stay in school as assistants.
The new mage masters, who were born in the mage family, knew that as long as they could succeed in winning the championship, then they would have the opportunity to enter the family's key cultivation sequence.
The player group is more likely to cash out this quill into gold coins in exchange for more practical materials.
Just taking a prize just to save the time of transcribing? They players aren't so lazy.
Luna, a female mage player, held the quill in her hand, trembling all the time, looking at the illusion projection and constantly explaining the model, feeling a little difficult to breathe.
She wasn't originally on the selection list this time, but it was arranged for her by a warm player lady she knew in Floating City, "Eswig".
Luna is a professional gamer in the studio and plays games to earn money.
Her studio often haunts major popular online games, starting with the initial layout and snowballing, from gold sales to taking off with the boss.
This time, the boss of the studio thought that the game "Arthur" would definitely be a hit, so he discounted the accounts of other popular online games and devoted himself to Arthur.
It's just that to this day, none of the caster professions that their studio focuses on have graduated.
But everyone is helpless, Arthur has been on the server for a month, and he has lost countless studios' jobs, and those professional players, as high players, can't understand why they are as difficult as ordinary players.
As a last resort, the studio boss asks Luna to delete her Ranger account and change to a mage.
Who knew that Luna was lucky, or that it was a good fit for the mage's route, and the spawn point was directly the magical Floating City.
It's just that after she entered the Floating City, she was hit hard.
Those game NPCs are more arrogant than the instructors of other town mage colleges, and they also love to ignore their players.
And in the player group, except for those who are extremely talented and surpass others, many others are competing with each other.
It wasn't until Luna met Eswig that she warmed her heart.
It's just that this opportunity that the other party doesn't know through what channel to fight for her, she may have to waste it.
At this point, Luna turned her head and looked around the square, and many of them were just as dazed as she was.
In the player group, the fastest time to master the ability to copy scrolls is half a day.
Three hours, perhaps, was a joke from the beginning.
It's just that the floating city is hanging their bait.
Thinking of this, Luna sighed even more.
Compared with other squares, which are surrounded by walls, this square is like a city tower, with rows of rooms behind the second and third floors, but it is pitch black and cannot be seen.
Even Luna suspects that the high-level NPCs in Floating City are watching them there.
"I can't stand it, three hours, how can it be done. If I had hung like this, I wouldn't have graduated today. A male player who finally got in couldn't stand it on the spot, and just threw the pen away.
In this square, where I don't know how many eyes are staring at, everyone is competing with each other, and some people have even raised their pens and started to try their hands.
These gaps have directly crushed people's hearts.
Even the male player didn't understand why he was able to break down psychologically just by breaking the game.
On the other side, Arthur's original mage, who had been trained for years or even a decade, was preoccupied with the "reading magic" spell that they had memorized perfectly.
They are also under tremendous pressure, knowing that this is not just an "automatic shorthand quill", but also an opportunity to leap into the dragon's door.
Arthur developed over thousands of years.
The existence of the gods made the entire Arthur not have much turmoil without the interference of external forces.
But it was also the beginning of the slow solidification of class.
Everyone knows that mages are powerful, which makes it more difficult to become a mage.
These primitive mages don't have the unique conditions of those earth adventurers, and they come to the Floating City without any tests.
Even many mage families were born in defeats of their brothers and sisters around them before they were able to enter the Floating City to study.
The rest of the family brothers and sisters can only find the Association Mage Academy in the nearest town.
No matter how much pressure they have, they don't dare to vent it in this place.
Seeing someone break down, Luna knew she shouldn't gloat, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Many times, you don't have to surpass others, as long as you know that others are as bad as you, it's easy to find solace.
Seeing that the male player couldn't stand it anymore and Luna was about to pack up and leave, she had already made up her mind and went back to tell the boss that she really couldn't play Mage.
Suddenly, the lights of the entire square came on.
Everyone was disturbed by this scene and couldn't help but look around.
Then, everyone's eyes were locked, as if they had become dull.
On the illusion projection in front of him, a sentence directly appeared:
There have been Earth adventurers who have successfully awakened the "Transcription Scroll" specialty, and the successful transcription of the "Reading Magic" scroll takes 22 minutes. At the end of the contest, the adventurer of that earth will receive an "automatic shorthand quill".
"Look, back!" Some apprentices exclaimed.
Everyone turned around and looked at the second floor, which was originally dark and invisible, and the floor-to-ceiling windows of one room had become transparent, and a man in a robe could be faintly seen, pushing the door and leaving.
"How is that possible?"
This is already a question in everyone's heart.
The apprentices who knew the strict rules of the Floating City, and knew that the person who could appear on the second floor must also be someone who had not understood the copying scroll, otherwise they would not have competed with them.
It's just that what is the record of the fastest awakening "Transcription Scroll" in Floating City?
"But how can you copy a zero-level spell so quickly?" A faint voice rang out.
At this time, the mage apprentices present couldn't help but inhale, and the other party copied a scroll that took half an hour!
Not their spell books that only take a few minutes.
"If you deduct the ten minutes of explanation at the beginning, wouldn't it take the other party only six minutes?"
At this time, this group of mage apprentices who knew the inside story were speechless.
How is that possible?
"Before the cataclysm, the rules of the magic net had not been changed at that time, and it was indeed six minutes to transcribe the zero-level spell scroll."
A pale mage apprentice said.
