Chapter 90: The Magic Scroll
More than a month later, and it seems that it is approaching November 19.
This day is a festival of celebration for the Hadma Empire.
The festival of celebration is the most important festival of the Hadma Empire, and on this day tens of thousands of years ago, Bruno slew the dragon and proposed to the legendary ranger Molda with the dragon's head.
Molda made three demands to Bruno, and Bruno succeeded in fulfilling them one by one. On this day, Bruno and Molda were united and became lifelong companions.
In this way, Bruno, who was still a gold-level ranger at the time, married back the legendary magician Molda. In the years that followed, Bruno founded the Hadema Empire, ignited the divine fire, and became the powerful god of fairness and justice in the plane.
This day is the most important day in the lives of Bruno and Molda, so after Bruno and Molda became gods one after another, under the oracle of Molda, this day is not only a day of celebration for the Ice and Snow Church, but also the most important national holiday of the Hadma Empire.
On this day, not only will the town hall set off fireworks and distribute large pieces of barbecue meat to each freeman, but even in each ice temple, the priests will use magic for free to heal the wounds of each freedman and use it to please the goddess of ice.
When the day of celebration arrived, Donn got up early in the morning, instructed Bruce to take someone to the Emerald City to buy holiday goods, and then went straight to Marianda's cave.
In the past month or so, although Tang En has insisted on meditating every day, it is obviously still a while before opening up the spiritual power space.
This has led to the fact that although his level has been improved, his strength has not improved much.
Since that day, Donne and Marianda have shown their hearts.
Although Marianda used magic, she forgot all the memories of that day.
But as if they had a heart, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up and they have become a couple in love.
Don lifted the thick felt and saw Marianda sitting on the magic test bench carefully writing and calculating.
Don took a closer look, and it turned out that Marianda was transcribing the magic scroll.
Transcribing a magic scroll is a difficult task, first you need to make magic paper, then you have to mix enchantment potions, and finally choose a magic pen.
It would cost twenty or thirty gold coins just to purchase this set of magic equipment.
Then there is also a silver-level mage who has learned the skill of transcribing scrolls.
Only when a professional advances to the silver level can they learn three class skills. And only by learning the magic skill of copying scrolls can you copy all kinds of magic scrolls.
For example, Marianda, who is already a silver-level mage herself, has also learned the professional skill to transcribe scrolls. And the skill of concocting magic potions exceeds 11 points, can prepare different magic potions, and also needs to be able to make magic paper, and there is also a magic prop magic pen in your hand, only if you meet all the above conditions, you can copy the magic scroll alone.
If you are in a place like the royal capital of the Hadma Empire or the Floating City, because there are many magicians, there will be a special social division of labor among the mages. Some mages are good at concocting magic potions, and some mages are good at making magic paper, so that the success rate of silver-level mages in copying scrolls will be higher.
However, in the northern Xinjiang region, plus all the priests, there are not more than 100 legal professionals, and it is impossible to form a complete magical civilization, so it will become more difficult to transcribe magic scrolls.
Tang En and the others hunted some magical beasts, and the fur of magical beasts is natural magic paper, which can be made into magic paper as long as it is processed through a simple process.
Magic ink is also relatively easy to make, using fresh monster blood, plus some special ingredients, Marianda can make different kinds of magic ink.
As a silver mage who has been promoted for more than ten years, Marianda's success rate in transcribing magic scrolls is already quite good.
Without delaying her meditation, she could transcribe an average of nine magic scrolls a month for a total of nine magic scrolls, including one third-level magic, three second-level magic, and five third-level magic.
If all of them were copied for Level 3 magic, Marianda could transcribe five Level 3 scrolls in two months. Five third-level scrolls are enough for Don to use for a while.
Mages fight against each other, rarely using scrolls to cast spells.
Except for some magicians from big noble families, there is no shortage of gold coins, so they occasionally use magic scrolls.
The price of a zero-level magic scroll is about one silver coin, which is equivalent to an ordinary person's work for a week.
A first-level magic scroll that has almost multiplied its price tenfold. An ordinary family can't accumulate less than ten silver coins in a year, and it can be said that releasing a first-level magic scroll is equivalent to playing out an ordinary family's savings for a year.
The price of the second-level magic scroll is around thirty silver coins, and by the time it comes to the third-level scroll, the price has been calculated in gold coins.
A Level 3 magic scroll costs around one to three gold coins depending on how powerful it is. The price of a fourth-level scroll will even exceed ten gold coins, which is equivalent to a weaker baron's income for a year.
Even a silver mage like Marianda, who is not short of money, cannot afford to use expensive magic scrolls when fighting.
The most important role of the magic scroll is not to fight, but to preserve the magic for a long time, making it easier for the mage to learn this spell.
Tang En took a few steps forward, gently hugged her slender waist and said, "It's dawn, why don't you rest." ”
Because she can't see the sun, Marianda's living habits have been different from normal people for more than ten years, she is basically nocturnal and sleeps during the day.
"Let go of your hand, I'm transcribing a magic scroll. Marianda moved her arm and gently pushed Donn away.
"How's the success rate this time?" Don asked, still reluctant to let go of Marianda, and pressed his finger against her cheek.
"It's still the same, the success rate is just over the passing line, and there is no loss. Marianda said with a tired shake.
Because the price of the materials used to transcribe the scroll is high, if the success rate is not high, the magician may even lose money.
Like Marianda, transcribing a first-level scroll has the highest success rate, and it can even bring her a lot of profits. Transcribe the secondary scrolls, and the success rate is also good.
However, transcribing the third-level magic scroll will not only consume a lot of time, but also have a relatively poor success rate, so you can only do it without losing money, and there is basically no profit.
"Well, here you go!
Recently, I have successfully copied three third-level magic scrolls, one fireball technique, one strong acid breath, and one petrification ray. Marianda stretched out her little white hand and took out three pale blue scrolls with magical aura from the test bench and said.
"Thank you, Marianda. Don looked at the tired Marianda and said with emotion.
"What kind words do you have to say about our relationship. These are not given to you for free, and to pay the annuity today, you need to pay the principal of five gold coins.
As a qualified magician, the most important thing is to exchange for equal value, and everything must rely on yourself, otherwise it will be difficult to go further.
I've been studying magic in Floating City for more than ten years, and that's the most important thing I've learned. Marianda said with a smile.
