Arcane Lord

If one scroll earns 10 gold coins (material cost only), theoretically he can make 20 scrolls a day and earn around 200 gold coins at most.

This seems good, but the problem is that it takes almost half an hour to make a magic scroll. If you are skilled, it may be faster.

But even so, it was impossible for Xia Duo to spend so much time on making scrolls.

There must be trade-offs here, and we can also find ways to make technological breakthroughs.

At present, all Xia Duo can think of is to use a seal-like method to draw the flat graphics on the scroll. However, this thing involves a lot of interests, and he does not dare to find someone to do it easily.

There was nothing wrong with the printing scroll itself, but he had never heard of printing or anything like that until now. Whether it was because the technology was not up to par or someone was deliberately keeping it secret, Xia Duo had no way of knowing.

But it’s still right to be cautious.

And even if there is a printed scroll, it is not a finished magic scroll yet. It still needs a spellcaster to connect it to the magic network. At this time, Xia Duo has no clue for the time being.

Thinking about it this way, in fact, printing scrolls does not bring much improvement to the mage. At most, it only saves a little time.

A mage usually has to practice spellcasting and experiment with spells. There are not many spells available for making scrolls. Drawing graphics by yourself is just a good way to relax.

If printing scrolls can directly produce finished products, then this technology can be regarded as epoch-making. By then, things such as "magic machine guns" may be available.

Xia Duo doesn't need to think that far yet. The arrangement he has made for himself is to make scrolls after dinner, and he can do as much as he can before going to bed.

Just like saving money, saving scrolls also takes time. Even if there is a way to get rich overnight, he is not prepared to use it. When he has no strength, he still has to keep a low profile.

…

The next day, Xia Duo woke up from his deep sleep and came to the study. The first thing he saw was the two magic scrolls spread out on the desk, and he immediately felt a sense of satisfaction in stocking up on food for the winter.

But when he saw a few gray paper balls in the corner, his satisfaction was suddenly compromised. They were the products he failed to make yesterday.

The parchment has been completely penetrated by the gray ink and is in a mess. If it were in the past, these "waste papers" would still have some use value. After all, the gray ink is really gray and can still be written normally.

But now Xia Duo is not someone who has to be careful about buying a few pieces of parchment paper. Instead of using these "waste papers" to affect your mood, it is better to use a better mood to earn more money to buy new paper!

Today's task was to copy "Morrowind Poems" and preview "Intermediate Arcane Geometry". However, as soon as he sat down at the desk, before he could finish copying a line, the magic alarm went off!

Now the magic alarm on Xia Duo's door has been replaced by one he personally placed. Whenever he leaves or sleeps, he will place a [magic alarm] on the door.

One application can last for about 10 hours, which is enough for him to leave to do errands or go to bed. It happens to be early in the morning, and he doesn't know who is disturbing him!

With some dissatisfaction, Xia Duo opened the door for the visitor. When he saw Kaili outside the door, Xia Duo couldn't help but frown, and his tone was a little impatient:

"It's you! What do you want from me?"

He and Kaili had never been on good terms. On the way back to the Mage Tower from the celebration the day before yesterday, Kaili kept nagging him. It was strange that he looked so good.

"Xia Duo, I have business with you." Kaili glanced inside, but Xia Duo just blocked the door and had no intention of letting him in.

Seeing this situation, Kaili also felt a little embarrassed. Now almost everyone in the Mage Tower knew that Niya was the daughter of the lord, the future owner of the territory, and the owner of the Mage Tower.

And Xia Duo and Ganal were the only two students of Niya. Kaili had some thoughts. Of course, he did have business. Seeing that Xia Duo was already a little impatient, he directly stated the reason for his visit. :

"Mrs. Patty invites you to her villa."

As he spoke, Kaili showed an ambiguous smile. Mrs. Patty was young, beautiful, and widowed at home, but she invited Sha Duo alone. He felt that the two must have hooked up.

"Mrs. Patty? Invite me?" Sha Duo was a little confused, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter. Kaili probably didn't have the guts to tease him.

Is there something important? Or do you want to pay him this month’s salary?

Shado is now Mrs. Patty's personal mage consultant, with a monthly salary of 200 gold coins. Of course, this is similar to sponsorship. He does not actually perform any consultant duties, but only names himself.

"Did she say something?" Sha Duo asked.

"I don't know. I just received a designated task from the task management office to invite you specifically."

"Assigned mission?"

"right!"

Perhaps because he felt that Sha Duo didn't believe it, Kaili hurriedly explained, "That's it - I am now Mrs. Patty's personal mage consultant, and we have agreed to practice in this way."

Sha Duo was a little confused. It should have been the last mission to investigate the cause of death. Kaili also went there. Later, for some reason, Mrs. Patty became a mage consultant.

But Mrs. Patty has not agreed with Sha Duo on any designated task, and she doesn't know what's going on this time, but it's always okay to take people's money, not to mention helping others to eliminate disasters, and just meet up with her.

"I know, I'll go see her."

"Then Xia Duo——"

Before Kaili finished speaking, Xia Duo had already closed the door. Kaili's face changed several times, and finally he just sighed and left.

…

After returning to the house, Xia Duo continued his copying work and did not go to see Mrs. Patty immediately. He was now the student of the future lord and a quasi-level 3 wizard, so he should be a little reserved.

However, Xia Duo still slightly accelerated the copying speed. In addition, he had copied nearly half of the content yesterday, and he was also somewhat proficient in the elven language.

There was no light limit in the formal wizard's residence. As long as the wizard did not control it himself, it would always be bright, so the passage of time became silent.

When Xia Duo finished copying and asked the tower spirit, he realized that it was already evening.

Xia Duo hurriedly packed up his things and went to the library to return the book first, and then left the wizard tower and went to the villa area.

…

Once again in the villa area, Xia Duo was not just admiring, but had some intention of studying. His territory was also by the Wolfburg River.

He also planned to build a riverside villa under the Mage Tower. As long as the Mage Tower was built, he could collect money without doing anything. He would have to pay management fees, cleaning fees, and annual fees.

The villa area in Savile County was indeed very good, but most of them were imitations, and only ten of them could be considered fine products.

As long as Shado built an Earth-style villa, it would attract a group of people just for the sake of curiosity. However, if he wanted to build a villa, he couldn't just rely on his imagination. He also needed craftsmen.

He could turn his imagination into reality.

Thinking of this, Shado felt that it was right to come to Mrs. Patty's house. Maybe he could ask her where she found the construction craftsmen.

"Lord Shado, Lord Shado!"

From a distance, a man who looked like a butler came to greet him. It hadn't been long since Shado came here last time, so he still had some impression of this person. He was the butler of Mrs. Patty's house.

Xia Duo nodded calmly, and walked without stopping. When he reached the gate of the manor, two guards bowed their heads quickly. Xia Duo ignored the two guards and walked straight into the villa.

Mrs. Patty was standing at the gate waiting for him.
