The Truth of Magic

Chapter 125 Records (24)

Antinoya put down the "automatic shorthand quill", briefly explained how to use it with him, and left directly.

Zhao Xu picked up the magic quill. It looked similar to an ordinary quill, but it was worth 1750 gold coins.

According to Antinoya, as long as he awakened the special ability of "transcribing scrolls", he could activate the quill pen and start writing according to his wishes in dragon language.

Although it can only be started once a day, it is strong in that it can be unattended.

As long as Zhao Xu activates it before falling asleep, it can work until the entire spell is copied.

However, there was another prerequisite for it to become Zhao Xu's.

It was Zhao Xu who was able to activate this "automatic shorthand quill" before the illusion projection ended.

The premise of activation is naturally that he has mastered the specialty of "transcribing scrolls".

The post that everyone in the forum was struggling to copy the scroll with a quill pen has become a daily update post.

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, focused on the illusion projection, and began to think about the mystery of copying the scroll.

Since he awakened as a wise spellcaster, copying spells into his mind is as easy as eating for him.

Those spell models are like stone tablets in deep mountains and old forests. Others have to climb up with great difficulty, take a look at them, and then go down the mountain to honestly copy what they see on the stone tablets.

If I don't go back and forth a few times, I can't guarantee whether what I understand is correct or not.

This is also the reason why ordinary mages spend a day studying and transcribing spells into spell books to understand, but it takes only a few minutes to transcribe after comprehension.

Consuming spells and copying them into scrolls is because it belongs to the manufacturing process, which starts from half an hour at level zero to three days for level nine spells.

From the start of the game to the present, most mages basically spend their time understanding and transcribing spells. They can't fight monsters and just act as porters of spells and incantations.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the mage to delete the account.

At the beginning, Zhao Xu relied on his ability as a "wisdom spellcaster". He copied spells into his heart, which was equivalent to taking a cable car up the mountain with a camera and shooting them back. Naturally, he couldn't appreciate the hard work of ordinary mage players.

Residents of Arthur have to spend several years or even ten years to complete mage training, which has never been an empty talk.

Slowly, Zhao Xu took his pen, dipped it in special ink, and began to write on the flattened leather paper according to the spell model in his heart.

The object Zhao Xu chose to transcribe was the "reading magic" that was playing the main points of transcribing on the illusion projection.

This spell is the simplest and the most familiar to the majority of mages.

And when the pen in Zhao Xu's hand began to draw the outline, his heart slowly calmed down.

In the square, many mage apprentices were scratching their heads.

It is easy to follow the gourd, but it is not so easy to make the transcribed scroll magical.

After the spell transcription is completed, the entire spell-casting process, including the consumption of various spell materials and experience, has been integrated into that scroll.

This is why ordinary people have never learned spells, and as long as they have received the ability training of "using magic devices", they can use scrolls to cast spells.

The mage apprentices present did not obtain spell slots, so they learned the ability to copy scrolls, and they first used it to copy spells into the spell book.

Each of them has mastered the "reading magic" spell, and this spell is also the only spell that can be memorized by itself without copying it in the spell book.

For the mage apprentices in the field, this is not just a training for copying scrolls, but also a competition.

Most of the people selected by Floating Void City to participate in the training of transcribing scrolls are mage apprentices who have not yet started this course, so it is convenient for comparison.

And in order to motivate these apprentices, Floating Void City also promised that the course time is three hours, and before the end of the course time, the first one who successfully awakens the ability to transcribe the scroll can get an "automatic shorthand quill".

The specific method is to be able to copy the "reading magic" that they have memorized in their hearts into their respective spell books.

Because you no longer need to spend half a day learning and understanding spells, as long as you acquire this ability, it will be a matter of transcribing it all at once.

The temptation of nearly 2000 GP made these apprentices a sensation on the spot.

Many novice mages with ordinary backgrounds have made up their minds to take this quill as a prize to bribe their instructors so that they can stay in school with the qualification of assistants.

Novice mages from mage families know that as long as they can successfully win the championship, then they will have the opportunity to enter the family's key training sequence.

As for the player group, most of them want to cash this feather pen into gold coins in exchange for more practical materials.

Simply taking the prize is just to save the time of copying? They players are not so lazy.

Luna, a female mage player, held the quill in her hand, trembling all the time, and felt a little hard to breathe as she watched the illusion projection continue to explain the model.

She wasn't originally on the selection list this time, but was arranged for her by a warm player girl "Eswig" she knew in Floating Void City.

Luna is a studio pro who plays games to make money.

The studio where she works often appears in various popular online games. It starts with the initial layout and snowballs, from making money for sale to taking off with the boss, and so on.

This time, the boss of the studio thought that the game "Arthur" would definitely become popular, so he discounted the accounts of other popular online games, and devoted all his energy to Arthur.

It's just that as of today, none of the caster professions that their studio focuses on has graduated.

But everyone was helpless. Within a month of opening the server, Arthur had ruined the jobs of countless studios. As high-level players, those professional players couldn't understand why they were as difficult as ordinary players.

As a last resort, the boss of the studio asked Luna to delete her ranger account and play mage instead.

Who knew that Luna was lucky, or that she fit the mage's route, and her birth point was directly the magical floating city.

It's just that after she entered the Floating Void City, all she received were blows.

Those game NPCs are more arrogant than the instructors of other town mage colleges, and they also ignore their players.

As for the player group, apart from those few with outstanding talents, many others are competing with each other.

It wasn't until Luna met Eswig that her heart became warmer.

It's just that the other party didn't know how to get her the opportunity, so she might have to waste it.

At this time, Luna turned her head and looked around the entire square. Many people were like her, a little dazed.

Among the player groups, the fastest to master the ability to transcribe scrolls took half a day.

Three hours, maybe it 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 surrounded by walls, this square is like a city tower, with rows of rooms behind the second and third floors, but it is too dark to see through.

Even Luna suspected that those high-level NPCs in Floating Void City were watching them there.

"I can't take it anymore, three hours, how can I finish it. If I hang on like this, I don't have to graduate today." A male player who managed to sneak in couldn't stand it on the spot, and he threw his pen and raised his head. and go.

Instead of just studying by themselves after listening to the class, in this plaza where countless eyes are staring, everyone is competing with each other, and some people have even raised their pens and started to try their hands.

These numerous gaps directly crushed the human mind.

Even the male player didn't understand why it was just a broken game, why he was able to break his mind to the point of collapse.

As for Arthur's native mages sitting on the other side, after several years or even more than ten years of training, they were engrossed in the "reading magic" spell that they had memorized by heart.

They have also been under tremendous pressure, knowing that this is not just an "automatic shorthand quill pen", but also an opportunity to jump into the dragon's gate.

Arthur has evolved over thousands of years.

The existence of the gods made the whole of Arthur not too turbulent without external interference.

But this is also the beginning of class solidification.

Everyone knows that mages are powerful, which also makes it more difficult to become a mage.

These native mages don't have the unique conditions of those earth adventurers, who came to the floating city without any tests.

There are even many mage families who have defeated their brothers and sisters before they can enter the floating city to study.

Other family brothers and sisters can only find the association mage academy in the nearest town.

No matter how great the pressure is, they dare not vent it on this occasion.

Seeing someone collapse, Luna knew she shouldn't gloat, but she still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In many cases, you don't need to surpass others, as long as you know that others are as bad as you, it is easy to find comfort.

Seeing that the male player couldn't take it anymore and left, Luna was about to pack her things and leave. She had already made up her mind to tell the boss that she really couldn't play Mage.

Suddenly, the lights of the entire square came on.

Everyone was startled 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 ahead, a sentence directly appeared:

[Adventurers on Earth have successfully awakened the "Copy Scroll" feat, and successfully transcribed the "Reading Magic" scroll, which took 22 minutes. At the end of the competition, the earth adventurer will get an "automatic shorthand quill". 】

"Look, behind!" Some apprentices exclaimed.

Everyone turned around and looked at the originally dark and invisible second floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows of a room had become transparent, and a man in a robe could be faintly seen pushing the door and leaving.

"How can it be?"

This is already the question in the bottom of everyone's heart.

Apprentices who know the strict rules of the Floating Void City know that the person who can appear on the second floor must also be someone who has never learned about copying scrolls, otherwise they would not compete with them.

However, what is the record of the fastest awakening "transcription scroll" in Floating Void City?

"But how can it be so fast to copy a zero-level spell?" A faint voice sounded.

At this time, the sorcerer and apprentices present couldn't help breathing in. What the other party copied was a scroll that took half an hour!

Not their spell books that only take a few minutes.

"If you deduct the ten minutes of the explanation at the beginning, wouldn't it be that the other party only spent six minutes?"

At this time, the group of mage apprentices who knew the inside story was already speechless.

how can that be possible?

"Before the cataclysm, the rules of the magic net had not been changed at that time. It was indeed six minutes to copy the zero-level spell scroll."

A pale mage apprentice said.
