My Magic Age

Then what factors affect the success rate of making magic scrolls?

The first is the proficiency of drawing magic patterns. The solution to this problem is very simple, that is, to practice repeatedly with a magic carving knife. However, if a magician who has no carving skills wants to make a breakthrough in this area and wants to make the lines of the magic patterns he draws smoother, he will not see any results without one or two years of hard practice. Such boring carving training and boring meditation training are very conflicting in terms of time. Without enough time to practice meditation, the magic pool in the body will not grow. The growth of the magic pool is related to the breakthrough of the magician's level, so this is the foundation of a magician, unless the magician gives up magic practice and focuses on inscriptions, then! Well! You can only be a low-level inscriptionist. If the magician's level is not improved, you cannot make high-level inscriptions. Therefore, the problem of proficiency in drawing magic arrays has always been the first stumbling block for the success rate of inscriptionists in making magic scrolls. It is easy to solve it, that is, to practice basic skills, but this is exactly what many magicians cannot do.

The second is the control of magic power. The use and control of magic power is also part of the magic practice class. It can be made up with a lot of practice, just like I condensed three magic force balls between my fingers and let them move quickly and without tracks around my five fingers. The three magic force balls cannot interfere with each other. This is the most basic training of magic control. Qi Ge is very good at magic control. The magic bullet she casts is strengthened by herself. That is, according to her own magic control, Qi Ge condensed a layer of magic elements on the surface of the magic bullet, and let this magic element film run at high speed on the surface of the magic bullet, which greatly enhanced the destructive power and penetration of the magic bullet. This is a typical thing that can be achieved by mastering the magic control ability.

The second is the problem of defects on magic parchment, which belongs to the category of materials. Only higher-level magic parchment can increase the success rate of production. Therefore, a senior leather maker is very important for the inscriptionist. Only when the magic parchment made by leather makers does not have too many hidden injuries and scratches, then this parchment will be a qualified magic parchment. Generally, inscriptionists will not pay attention to this problem, because they think that as long as they buy expensive ones, they will not go wrong. Although the scratches on the surface can be seen, the hidden injuries in the leather are not so easy to distinguish. After polishing and grinding, the magic parchment that becomes very smooth is difficult to see any hidden injuries. Only magicians with strong perception can confirm it by probing their perception into the leather. However, some magicians often ignore the quality of magic parchment. This is why Lao Kuru has always insisted that I follow Uncle Fred to learn leather making.

Then there is the stability of the magic energy in the magic ink, which also belongs to the category of magic materials. The quality of a bottle of magic ink depends entirely on whether the magic energy in the ink is handled well during the configuration of the magic ink. Let the magic energy in the ink ripple slightly like the water in a small pond or let the magic energy in the ink surge like the waves in the sea. If the magic elements in the ink are too agitated, it will test the magic control of the inscriptionist. The reason why those students in Qige Magic School questioned her magic potion was that the magic ink she made was too unstable.

The last and most important thing is the problem of magic perception. Magic perception is a hard standard. When the magician himself does not have this talent, the strength of magic perception directly depends on the strength of mental power. The higher the mental power of the magician, the higher the magic perception. When drawing a magic scroll, the magic ink penetrates into the texture of the magic parchment from the tip of the pen. The thickness, depth and smoothness of the lines are all dependent on magic perception. Even when using more advanced magic leather to draw the magic scroll or magic pattern structure, the inscriptionist even needs to penetrate the magic perception into the leather in advance, design the landing point of the first stroke of the magic pattern array according to the situation inside, and use this as the reference point to avoid all the hidden injuries on the advanced magic leather.

As long as the above points are effectively controlled, the success rate of making magic scrolls can be improved. Generally speaking, the price of a low-level magic scroll is equivalent to five times the cost of the materials used to make it. This is also the reason why after becoming a junior inscriptionist, making the lowest-level magic scroll will allow the inscriptionist to have a meager income. At this time, the junior inscriptionist usually has a success rate of 25%. The price of selling a magic scroll for five magic materials is just enough to allow the inscriptionist to break even.

However, the problem of the success rate of making magic scrolls mentioned above is obviously not applicable to me. Who can use magic and be born with such magical talents as magic perception before awakening the magic pool? I even have a lot of time to practice the ability to control magic. With a strong magic perception, the practice of magic control has become very easy. Then I want to thank my cold dish master in my previous life. If he hadn't forced me to carve all the dishes for him all day, my carving skills would not be deeply imprinted in my mind, just like learning to ride a bicycle in my life. Once you learn it, you will never forget it.

Nowadays, the manufacturing cost of a fire-gathering magic scroll is only about one-fifth of that of a normal magic scroll, yes! So little, because this is a completely simplified version of the magic pattern array. On this magic scroll, the great magician who created it even removed all the complicated structures, leaving only this magic scroll with The most basic function is to start a fire. The paper size of an ordinary magic scroll is about one foot square. The magic antelope skin used in this scroll is only about the size of a palm, which is one-ninth of the size of an ordinary magic scroll. The ink used is only one-tenth of that of ordinary magic scrolls, and the manufacturing cost is zero. At present, it seems that Qige has no intention of paying me any wages. So after calculation, the material cost is nearly one-tenth of that of an ordinary magic scroll, and my success rate in making this extremely simple magic scroll is also extremely high. Qi Ge said that the current price of a primary magic scroll on the market is about one gold coin, and the materials successfully account for one-fifth of it. The material value of a primary magic scroll is about twenty silver coins. Last night, I asked Qige: How many silver coins does our magic scroll cost?

Qige blinked her eyes and told me with some embarrassment that when making the moonlight ink, the stabilizer Ningshenhua juice, which plays a role in stabilizing the magic elements in the ink, had been used up, so the ink I used to draw the magic pattern array was Secondary ink without magic stabilizer is cheaper than real moonshine ink. Then Qige told me swornly that I originally thought I needed to practice using ink. I didn’t expect that I would be able to successfully draw the magic scroll on the first night, so I didn’t take it too seriously when making ink. Next time Be sure to put a sufficient amount of stabilizer when doing so.

I said: Miss, can you tell me the key points? How much does it cost to make a scroll?

Qi Ge slowly stretched out a finger and said: "A silver coin!"

We can’t praise the effectiveness of the ‘Fire Gathering’ magic scroll, okay! Let me tell you the truth. Apart from being able to make a fire and keep warm, this thing seems to have no other uses. Ordinary magic scrolls contain a basic magic skill and have certain offensive or protective abilities, so travelers will carry them with them as a means of saving their lives. This simplified version of the fire-gathering technique is useless. No one can expect monsters or enemies to stupidly jump into the bonfire and wait for the flames to burn them to death. So Qige and I discussed in the morning that we would sell these fire-gathering magic scrolls as outdoor daily necessities. In the wilderness at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau in early spring, although there were grasses growing everywhere, hunters who wanted to hunt the magic antelope wanted to It is still very troublesome to collect a large amount of grass to make a fire to keep warm at night. Sometimes when chasing prey into areas with thin grass, you can even only eat some cold dried meat. With these magic scrolls of 'Fire Gathering', these troubles will be solved.

Before entering the auction house, a group of us met the person in charge of the auction house, an old orc wearing a formal dress. He asked us to call him Koro. When I first saw Koro, I felt so awkward. The reason was that the old orc was actually wearing a black suit similar to a Mao suit, with a pair of crystal rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had trimmed his hair and beard. Very neatly, what kind of feeling does it give me? Violation, this feeling is like a former Qing Dynasty old man with big braids, a shaved forehead, and a pair of old BJ shoes on his feet. He happens to be wearing a black tuxedo and holding a civilized stick in his hand. The staff is indescribably awkward. But he was able to talk to me seriously and said that because our products were delivered a little late, these products would not be up to the level of auction items and could only be obtained during the free trading time before the informal auction. Display them and see if anyone wants to buy them.

Qi Ge and I naturally agree that as long as it can be sold, it doesn’t matter whether it is a free transaction or a formal auction! However, we really don’t want to show up in person and want the auction house to auction it on our behalf. At best, we can just pay the agency fee. So in terms of specific details, Qige and the old orc had another round of communication, and finally priced a scroll at twenty silver coins. In my opinion, unless someone is crazy, who would spend nearly a month's income to buy it? A magic scroll that only makes a fire for warmth?

But it seemed that both the old orc and Qige were very confident in selling the magic scroll of fire gathering at this price, so I didn't say anything more. When we handed over a backpack of magic scrolls, the eyes of the orc auctioneer Koro paused for a moment, then he pondered for a moment, rolled his eyelids, looked at the triumphant Qige and said, "I'm not sure I can sell all of this." Go, after all, the number of customers in the auction house is limited, and not everyone has the idea of ​​buying this scroll!"

Qige waved her hand indifferently and led us to bid farewell to the orc auctioneer Koro before walking into the auction house.

"Do you think our scrolls can really be sold?" I asked Qige suspiciously.

Qi Ge turned to look at me and said with a smile: "We have made a total of twenty-three fire-gathering scrolls. As long as we can sell one, we can recover the cost. Maybe someone will actually buy it!"

This is the reason why I insist on entering the wasteland. I want to see the elementary magic herbs growing in the wasteland. I want to hunt a magic antelope myself and see what kind of magical world there is. I firmly believe that we can protect ourselves. strength. Seeing my persistence, Sister Guoguo could only sigh and shut her mouth. She asked Qige through me with some dissatisfaction: "Are you also messing around with these two children?"

Qi Ge said with a smile: "Isn't life the biggest adventure?"

Sister Guoguo was angry, but she couldn't refute it. This sentence was said by a magician who was once a big shot on the Roland Continent. Later, it was regarded as a life creed by many magicians.
