Chapter 22: The Vanishing Spell Book
Hearing that there was no need to copy the spell book anymore, Zhao Xu's mind had already begun to calculate.
Mages copy spells, the first difficulty is whether they can find a spell to copy, and the second is to pay the cost of copying loss.
But he leaned back against Antinoya and borrowed cheekily, even if the other party received money, he should give him a discount, so his main difficulty was the loss of copying spells.
Now that this specialty has been saved for him, he has no worries at all.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Mentor, I choose this specialty." ”
Antinoa was a little stunned when she heard him say this, she thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm going to-"
"Huh? Mentor? Zhao Xu was particularly surprised when he saw the other party suddenly stop.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I just retrieved my memory. After discovering that after the Cataclysm, the Wisdom Spellcaster went from a specialty to a class trait. Obviously, I was still a specialty when I was in school. ”
Zhao Xu's eyebrows moved slightly, and the characteristics of his profession are all possessed by people in this profession.
But there are also some class traits that can be picked and chosen.
The way to choose these class traits is to give up some of the original class traits at the expense.
At this time, Antinoya had already explained to him: "According to the new requirements, the price of the class trait 'Wisdom Spellcaster' is to give up the two class traits of copying scrolls and summoning magic pets. ”
"Mentor, are these two class traits important?"
Zhao Xu didn't know much about the inside story of these mages, but it didn't prevent him from asking for advice.
"Summoning the Demon Pet, if you don't go through the Demon Pet Stream, it won't be a big problem to give up. And we were originally going to give you another specialty, so it's not a shame to give it up. ”
"As for the class trait of transcribing scrolls, it's still quite important for mages. The scroll can replace the mage's spell slot, so that the mage can not be released temporarily because the mage has mastered the spell, but because the corresponding spell is not prepared. ”
"Therefore, in the face of some uncommon special situations, it is not realistic for mages to prepare spells every day to deal with them, so they all prepare scrolls."
Hearing Antinoya's explanation, Zhao Xu lowered his head and calculated, if he gave up, it would mean that he would have to buy scrolls in the future, and he would not be able to produce some of them.
"Of course, if you are willing to spend a specialty, you can also use the way of expertise learning to master the ability of 'transcribing scrolls'."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu's thoughts slowly circled back.
It is not surprising to him that the professional ability of transcribing scrolls is also a specialty that can be learned, otherwise the priest does not have this professional ability, where would the magic scrolls on the market come from.
It wasn't made by a priest who had spent a specialty in learning to transcribe scrolls.
Or to put it another way, a Level 1 mage gives away the "Transcription Scroll" specialty for free.
It's just that in this case, the cost of the Wisdom Spellcaster is clear.
The price of a specialty and the ability to summon a magic pet too.
Summoning magic pets, a unique ability for mages and warlocks, is also a valuable specialty.
What's going on with this catastrophe has actually led to an increase in the price of capacity.
In the past, the price of one specialty now has to pay for two specialties.
"Also, after choosing the Wisdom Spellcaster ability, although you don't have to consume materials to copy, you still have to pay about the same price to stimulate your spirit."
Zhao Xu's face turned bitter on the spot.
Dragged it until the last moment and said, isn't this teasing him?
"Mentor, who else is going to awaken this ability like this." Zhao Xu said word by word.
There is no need for him to elaborate, it is all obvious.
He transcribed the spell into his memory.
Naturally, he couldn't provide spell books for others to copy, and he couldn't collect the money for borrowing fees.
That's it, the problem is that Antinoa just told him the "Blessing Book", something that a mage dreams of.
Wouldn't he be able to enjoy the 12.5GP per page fee if he casts spells with his Wisdom? Instead, it became the original 50GP per page price for copying other people's spell books.
The price has risen fourfold out of thin air.
If the Wisdom Spellcaster is all 12.5GP per page, then he will admit it.
"Don't you think it's cool not to have a spell book with you?" Antinoya said, her tone full of the taste of a full man who doesn't know how hungry he is.
"Every day when I prepare spells, I have to take out a spell book and flip through it, it's very tiring. Not to mention that this thing still has a load, even if you carry a dimensional bag, it will be very annoying. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xu's mood finally stabilized.
A mage needs a spell book to prepare a spell, and indeed the spell book becomes the key point for the mage.
was raided in the middle of the night, and he had to hurry up and run away with the spell book.
Before they get the cheapest 2500GP Dimension Bag, the player will have to carry the books on their backs.
It's just a dimensional bag, and the cheapest one can also be two hundred catties of things, and a two- or three-pound ordinary spell book is more than enough to hold dozens of copies.
"Mentor, why don't you forget it?" Zhao Xu said after deliberation.
If you are tired, you will be tired, and money is still important.
"Yes, anyway, this ability can only be selected when you are level 1, so you can change it before you complete the training."
Hearing Antinoya's words, Zhao Xu's heart was a little confused again.
Sometimes, there is no choice, but you can go straight all the way.
After having some choices like him that other players don't have to pick and choose, he will struggle a lot.
It's just that Zhao Xu suddenly thought that Antinoya said that when she learned, the "Wisdom Spellcaster" was a specialty, so it was just a price that Zhao Xu could summon a demon pet at a lower price.
That is, Antinoya is the same as paying 50GP per page to record spells.
Everyone chooses legendary mages like this, so they won't be randomly chosen, right?
"Mentor, is there any other reason why you chose this in the first place?" Zhao Xu continued to ask for advice.
However, Antinoya was still happy to explain Zhao Xu's doubts, "Well, the route I took at that time was to fight, and I definitely didn't want to leave a weakness like a spell book." ”
"Moreover, you actually have an advantage, if you go to the second level to work as a 'dossier scholar', transcribing scrolls is also one of the professional characteristics of dossier scholars."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu almost slapped his thigh.
No matter how you listen to it, it feels like Antinoa is deliberately teasing him and not speaking out first.
A specialty is expensive.
He chose the human race, and only then did he give him a bonus specialty.
Zhao Xu could only grit his teeth and said, "Mentor, then I'll choose this replacement ability." ”
Using the ability to summon a demon pet in exchange for an ability that would cost more money but not use a spell book, Zhao Xu made this deal.
"That's okay, someone will bring the awakening method of this ability later."
Zhao Xu glanced around the room, except for the incense in the corner slowly rising, there was nothing unusual about those medieval-style furniture.
Antinoa had put on an alarm spell that he knew, but there was no one to listen to it.
"What do you think, I instantly cast a spell of psychic communication, and with your current spell recognition ability, you can see that I cast a spell?"
Antinoa chuckled.
Zhao Xu could only smile awkwardly, but in his heart he began to think about the future.
After learning this ability, he will at least have no weaknesses in the spell book, and he will not be blind when the spell book is stolen or destroyed like other mage players.
At least for the hour when he prepared the spell, he didn't have to be so afraid of a surprise attack.
