Arcane Lord

Chapter 174 To recover the capital or to lose the money

Soon, the second production began, and Shado did not deliberately make the parchment graphics inaccurate, but chose to improve the accuracy of his personal spellcasting.

Spell-casting skills and proficiency are Sha Duo's shortcomings. After all, he became a mage in too short a time, but his spell-casting accuracy cannot be relaxed.

To describe it in game terms, accurate spell casting means that the gap between the upper and lower limits of the spell becomes smaller, which means that the effect of the spell is always in your hands.

It would be too dangerous if a mage couldn't even control the effects of his spells.

Think about it, a teleportation spell that was accurately calculated was transmitted to the cracks in the stone due to casting errors. Wouldn't it be very unfair?

After paying great attention to the accuracy of casting, Xia Duo's first casting did not make much error, but it still failed in the end.

The reason is that there are too many steps in the process of connecting the magic web to the scroll. The more steps there are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and if you make a mistake, you have to start over again.

After several times, Xia Duo had used up the red graphite water that was given as a gift when he purchased the scroll. Fortunately, he purchased "gray-white ink" similar to the red graphite water at the material application office of the Mage Tower in advance.

Enough for him to squander.

This kind of ink is not suitable for ordinary writing, because it is really off-white, and the price of 20 gold coins a bottle is a bit unsightly.

There are many inks suitable for 1-level magic scrolls, the prices are roughly the same, and the effects are no different. Xia Duo, who changed the ink, only tried a few times before he succeeded.

A faint light flashed, and the parchment finally took on a fascinating magical aura. Above the unfolded parchment, the three-dimensional spell structure woven by the magic web hung down and connected with the magic graphics on the parchment. linked together.

Sha Duo quickly rolled up the parchment. As the parchment deformed to a certain extent, the spell structure gradually shrank to the surface of the parchment, and finally turned into a radial magic network structure gathered around the scroll.

After a while, these radial magic network structures gradually converged, and after reaching a certain level, they existed stably.

A [Steam Ray] learning scroll is made!

Once there was a successful experience, it was repeated again and again.

In the end, Xia Duo made 2 learning scrolls and 3 ordinary scrolls that were encrypted and could be sold.

It’s not that there are no materials and it can’t be done, but that the mage’s spell-casting opportunities have been used up. The only thing left is blood spells, and he hasn’t started the transformation of blood spells yet!

After calculation, his success rate in making the scroll today was only about 30%. Considering only the cost of materials, he could barely make up his money.

But considering this is the first production, it should be profitable in the future.

But for low-level scrolls, don’t think about getting rich overnight. The number of productions per day is extremely limited, and you can only rely on time to accumulate them.

Or make more advanced or more widely used scrolls.

Otherwise, even a 9-ring magic scroll [that changes the colors of the stars in the sky] probably won't fetch much.

For individuals, magic is technology, and technology pays attention to practicality.

From the current point of view, [Steam Ray] is quite practical, but it is not practical to the extent that it is indispensable. There is probably little hope of using it to increase the price.

"Oh - why is it so difficult to make money!" Xia Duo couldn't help but complain to the five finished scrolls, but then, his stomach also complained to him -

Gu Gu Gu——

"Tower spirit, command: current time." Sha Duo immediately greeted the tower spirit.

"Level 2 authority, Mage Xia Duo, current time: 9 am."

"..."

Xia Duo didn't immediately lament that he stayed up all night, but regretted that he wasted a rest period of casting opportunities.

Thinking of this, I was already a little depressed because the price of the scroll could not be increased, and I became even more depressed.

Fortunately, the [Steam Scroll] has been produced. Xia Duo's mood at the moment is still above average, and apart from being hungry, he doesn't feel too tired.

Maybe it’s because my body is stronger and I’m more resistant to fatigue.

Sha Duo tidied up the workbench in the mage's laboratory, put the remaining materials back into the storage room, and left with five finished scrolls.

The cost of one night also needs to include the cost of using the spell laboratory! This calculation may result in some losses.

Opening the door, there is a lunch box placed against the wall outside. It should have been placed here by the apprentice who delivered the meal in the morning. You cannot hear the "doorbell" in the magic laboratory unless it is arranged by Sha Duo himself.

Xia Duo thought about the scene where the apprentice was struggling to wait or leave, so he went back with the lunch box and started eating directly.

While eating, he took out the book "Dathriel's Ultimate Protection" and flipped through it. Shado had already read about half of this book.

It was a bit difficult for him to adapt at first, but after reading more than half of it, he felt more and more relaxed. [Mage Armor] is not a high-threshold spell, but a quite popular spell.

This is almost the only spell that low-level mages can master to resist physical attacks. It's definitely not possible if you don't pay attention!

In this way, when lunch was delivered and the "doorbell" rang, Chateau had already finished reading the book and was speculating and completing the elements that were not recorded in the book.

After taking the lunch and returning to the inner room, Xia Duo suddenly felt that this kind of food delivery service was too inhumane. On-time delivery was not bad for people with normal schedules.

Xia Duo's work and rest had always been normal before, but as a mage, there would be times when his work and rest were disordered, just like Xia Duo's today. Could it be that other mages would endure it all their lives?

Or are there any other special services?

Xia Duo doesn't want to have a personal butler or a private chef for the time being, but such a simple request as "there's always something to eat when you're hungry" must be met.

With this in mind, Shado immediately contacted Ganal. As two apprentices under the same mentor, he and Ganal had already exchanged secret marks.

The connection at this time was not unexpected, but when he heard that Xia Duo had sent him a special message just to ask how to eat, Ganal couldn't help being surprised.

"Xia Duo, I think you should communicate with people more and stop asking common sense questions all the time."

"Am I not communicating with you now?" Sha Duo said with a smile. It's not that he doesn't communicate with others, it's just that he spends the time when others are chatting and drinking tea studying magic and practicing spells.

Coming from an era of entertainment, Xia Duo found the so-called entertainment and social activities in the Mage Tower boring. On the contrary, magical things like magic fascinated him even more.

Of course, it's not that Xia Duo doesn't communicate with others at all. It's just a matter of contacting Ganal now. He just acts more purposefully.

"Ganal, are you preparing for the Arcane Games?"

"I still don't know the specific rules and how to prepare. I just looked for some information in the library. Forget it, don't talk about these. Just ask the tower spirit to ask your questions. The tower spirit can provide instant food, or find an apprentice to specialize in Bringing you food, that’s it.”

After saying that, he broke off contact.

"Haha." After hearing the end, Xia Duo showed a satisfied smile. It seemed unreasonable to ask Ganal, but it was actually very reasonable. The young man would inevitably feel proud when he was asked by someone who surpassed him.

If it doesn't involve any secrets, I'm happy to show off.

Xia Duo suddenly remembered an interesting incident in high school. At that time, his grades were pretty good, but there was a classmate in the class who liked to bully students who had better grades than him.

Xia Duo was also bullied, but once, he asked that classmate a very childish question, and something interesting happened——

Instead of laughing at Xia Duo, the classmate gradually became friends with Xia Duo.

From today's perspective, perfection creates distance and imperfection erases distance, but in essence, the gap between two people and in society's eyes has not been erased.

Therefore, although the classmate eventually became friends with Xia Duo, his opinions were often dominated by Xia Duo.

Today's Ganal may be able to become such a friend.
