Chapter 1317: Saria's "Shadow Technique"
"Both plans are good, and the technical cooperation between Beacon Hill and the Kolas government will also follow this model in the future, as for myself, ......" Andre laughed, "I won't bargain with you this time, it's rare for you to visit Nikita, I will authorize you to use this spell for free, it can be regarded as a meeting gift for your daughter, and you will have to contribute to tomorrow's advanced trial, but you have to work hard!" ”
"How embarrassing is this......" Roland also tried to fake politeness, but Nikita interjected and almost him off!
"Help me pass the trial tomorrow to have a free license, and if the trial fails, there will be no such good thing!"
Roland glared back at her, his eyes full of resentment: "Stinky girl, are you helping me or harming me?!" ”
"Don't listen to that girl, he doesn't count this matter." The father-in-law was bright enough, patted Roland on the shoulder, and gave him a reassuring pill, "The advanced trial will take seven days, and I can use this time to perfect the kind of spell you need again, so that you are satisfied." ”
After winning the first battle, Roland had a bottom in his heart, and then shifted the target to his mother-in-law.
"Aunt Anna, do you remember? When I was in the Astral Plane, you used the magic guide you invented to help me make copies of my notes. ”
"Of course I remember, it's a magic copier, the structure is very simple, but a relatively special spell is constant." Mrs. Anna replied.
"I think it was your invention of the 1-ring Changeling Arcane, which seems to be called 'Anna Photocopying'?" Roland asked as he recalled.
"It's 'rapid transcription,' but it's more appropriate to call it 'photocopying,' and you can quickly make a copy of a large book as thick as a dictionary once you cast a spell." Lady Anna's smile was tinged with pride.
"This spell you invented can quickly copy text and drawings, which is of great value to the press and publishing industry, and journalism is the focus of my next step, and it would be great if you could license this spell to me." Roland looked at his mother-in-law expectantly.
Mrs. Anna smiled lightly and reproached him with a little disgust: "I promised you something in the Star Boundary, and you still need to be polite to Auntie?" I'll take the time to teach Nikita 'Photocopying', it's easier for you to ask her for help, and I'll also give you a copy of the design drawings and enchantment materials for the magic copier, which costs about 200 gold duga, and if you can manage to achieve mass production in the factory, the cost can be lower. ”
Seeing that Roland wanted to talk about money, Mrs. Anna waved her hand, "Don't talk to me about money, I'll leave these things to Nikita, how to cooperate with you to discuss with her." ”
Roland immediately turned his head to look at Miss Mage, and his pitiful appearance did not win the sympathy of the other party.
"I'm trying to get some extra pocket money, you can do it!" The corners of Miss Mage's lips were raised, revealing a little devilish smile.
He said it fiercely, but in fact, Nikita was still very considerate, and took the initiative to help him hunt, targeting Ms. Saliya of the Illusion School.
This illusion master is a delicate young woman with a gentle temperament, wearing a long blue dress, with a slender and white neck and a moonstone necklace that complements each other, and it is impossible to see the momentum that a quasi-legendary archmage should have, and this approachable temperament is actually the embodiment of illusion cultivation to an extremely high level, making it impossible for people to guess their true strength from their appearance.
"Master Saria, I remember you once invented a 2-ring illusion that can transfer real people or scenes on paper to look very realistic?"
Lady Saizeri smiled and nodded, "There is indeed such a spell, I call it' The reason for the creation of this spell is that I like to play in the mountains and rivers, and I want to record it when I see the beautiful scenery, but unfortunately my painting is very poor, and I can't draw the essence of the beautiful scenery, so I figured out such a small spell, which can easily save the beautiful scenery on paper, and it looks like a lifelike color sketch, and it will never fade, Nikita, if you like, I can teach you this spell, but how can this little trick help His Royal Highness Roland's career? ”
"Of course it helps, and it's a huge help!"
Roland couldn't help but get excited when he heard Master Saliya describe the role of "Photography", with this "Imaging Technique", will the camera be far away?! The more I think about it, the more I feel that this spell is a rowing boat!
"Is that really that exaggerated?" The "little tricks" used for her own entertainment were so valued that Ms. Saliya was in a good mood and asked Roland with great interest, "Can you tell me how you plan to use the 'Photography Technique'?" ”
The word "camera" almost came out of his mouth, but Roland put up with it in time. In an era when portraiture is all the rage and painters are respected, it seems too early to talk about the commercial future of the "camera". In the case of Ms. Saliya, it was also because she could not use a paintbrush to depict the beauty in her eyes that she had to retreat to the second best thing and invented the "photographic technique" that could photograph the scene, which shows that in her mind, the artistic status of painting is higher than that of photography, or to put it more bluntly, she has not yet formed the concept of "photographic art", but only regards "photographic art" as a method of replacing sketching.
Roland pondered for a few seconds, deciding to explain the commercial prospects of "photography" in a way that was more acceptable to Ms. Saliya.
"Master Saria, do you read the newspaper?"
"Occasionally." The Master of Illusion nodded with a smile.
"So do you know how newspapers are printed?" Roland asks questions step by step.
"At a glance, it's like formatting the articles submitted by reporters and columnists, and then printing them one after the other according to the format." Ms. Saizeriya replied slowly, pondering Roland's intention in bringing the topic to the newspaper.
"As you said, typesetting and printing are two important links in the distribution of newspapers and books, and the current common use of 'movable type typography and printing' in the countries of Vares, simply put, is to engrave thirty letters on the word mold, and then arrange and combine them into corresponding words according to the content of the article, in addition to carving some punctuation letters, and then brush the ink on the first page, print a newspaper, and so on, and so ......on."
Listening to Roland's introduction to the current typesetting and printing methods, Ms. Saliya said with deep feelings: "It turns out that printing a newspaper is so troublesome. ”
"In fact, it is quite simple to print text-only content, but it is even more troublesome to have illustrations in newspapers and books." Roland sighed, "I know a young painter named Vladimir, his main job is to illustrate the newspaper, I learned from him some details of the illustration typesetting, for example, one day His Majesty the King attended the military parade, and when the news was published on the front page, it was customary to match an illustration of the King's military parade, in order to get this illustration, the painter had to go to the parade site to draw a sketch, and then engrave the engraving based on the sketch, and the newspaper company could get the engraving provided by the painter before it could be inked and printed, The whole process is very cumbersome. ”
