my age of magic

Chapter 69
Then again, what factors affect the success rate of making magic scrolls?
The first is the proficiency of drawing the magic circle. The solution to this problem is very simple, which is to practice repeatedly with a magic carving knife. However, magicians who do not have any carving skills want to make a breakthrough in this area and want to draw their own The lines of the magic lines are smoother, and without a year or two of hard training, there is no visible result.Such boring sculpting training and boring meditation training are very conflicting in terms of time. If you don’t have enough time to practice meditation, the magic pool in your body will not grow. The growth of the magic pool is related to the breakthrough of the magician level. It is the foundation of a magician, unless the magician gives up magic training and focuses on inscriptions, in that case!All right!I can only be a low-level inscription master. If the magician level has not been raised, it is impossible to make high-level inscriptions.Therefore, the problem of proficiency in drawing magic circles has always been the first stumbling block in the success rate of making magic scrolls for inscribers. It is easy to solve, that is, to practice the basic skills hard, but this is precisely what many magicians cannot do.

Secondly, there is the problem of manipulating mana. The use and manipulation of mana is also part of the magic practice class. As long as a lot of practice, it can be made up for, just like I condense three magic force balls between my fingers, let them Make fast and trackless movements around the five fingers, and the three magic force balls cannot interfere with each other. This is the most basic training for magic manipulation.As for the magic control power, Qige is very powerful. The magic bullet she cast is strengthened by herself, that is, according to her own magic control power, Qige condenses a layer of magic elements on the surface of the magic bullet, And let this layer of magic element film run at high speed on the surface of the magic bullet, which greatly strengthens the destructive power and penetrating power 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 the magic parchment, which belongs to the category of materials. Only higher-level magic parchment will increase the production success rate, so a senior leather craftsman is very important for the inscription master. The magic parchment produced by the leather makers does not have too many dark wounds and scratches, so this parchment is a qualified magic parchment. Generally, inscribers will not notice this problem, because they feel that as long as they choose There is nothing wrong with buying expensive ones.Although the scratches on the surface can be seen, the hidden wounds inside the leather are not so easy to distinguish. It is difficult to see any dark wounds on the magic parchment that has been polished and polished. Only a magician with strong perception Dip your senses into the leather to confirm.But often some magicians usually ignore the quality of the magic parchment, which is why old Kuru asked me to follow Uncle Fred to learn leatherworking.

Then there is the issue of the stability of the magic energy in the magic ink, which also belongs to the category of magic materials. Whether a bottle of magic ink is good or bad depends entirely on whether the magic energy in the ink has been handled properly during the process of configuring the magic ink. good.Let the magic energy in the ink be like the water in a small pond rippling slightly or let the magic energy in the ink be like the waves in the sea. If the magic elements in the ink are too restless, it will test the magic control ability of the inscriber .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 rigid standard. When a magician has no talent in this area, the strength of magic perception directly depends on the strength of mental power. The higher the mental power The magician, the higher the magic perception.When drawing a magic scroll, the magic ink seeps into the texture of the magic parchment from the tip of the pen. The thickness of the line and the smoothness of the line depend on the magic perception, and even more advanced magic leather is used to draw the magic front or magic pattern. When constructing, the inscriber even needs to infiltrate the magic perception into the leather in advance, and design the first drop point of the magic circle according to the situation inside, and use this as a benchmark to avoid all the magic on the high-grade magic leather. dark wounds.

As long as the above points are effectively controlled, the success rate of making magic scrolls can be improved.Generally speaking, the selling price of a low-level magic scroll is equivalent to five times the material cost of making this magic scroll. This is also after becoming a junior inscription master, making the lowest-level magic scroll will give the inscription master a meager income. At this time, junior inscribers usually have a success rate of 20.00% five, and the price of selling five magic materials for one magic scroll is just enough to make the inscriber break even.

However, the success rate of making magic scrolls mentioned above obviously does not apply to me. Who would be able to use magic without awakening the magic pool and be born with a magic talent like magic perception?I even have a lot of time to practice the ability of manipulating magic. Under the strong sense of magic, the practice of manipulating magic becomes very easy. Then I would like to thank my cold dish master in my previous life. If he didn’t force me all day Carving all the plates for him, my carving skills will not be deeply imprinted in my mind, just like learning to ride a bicycle in my life, once I learn it, I will never forget it.

Now the manufacturing cost of a fire-focusing magic scroll is only about one-fifth of a normal magic scroll, yes!There are only so few, because this is a simplified version of the magic pattern circle. On this magic scroll, the great magician who created it even removed all the complicated structures, and only let this magic scroll have The most basic function is to start a fire.The paper size of ordinary magic scrolls is about one foot square. The magic antelope skin used in this scroll is only the size of a palm, which is one-ninth of ordinary magic scrolls.The ink used is only one tenth of that of ordinary magic scrolls, and the manufacturing cost is zero. It seems that Qige has no plans to pay me any wages.So calculated in this way, the cost of materials is almost one-tenth of that of ordinary magic scrolls, and the success rate of making this extremely simple magic scroll is extremely high.Qige said that the price of primary magic scrolls on the market is about one gold coin, and the materials successfully account for one-fifth of it. The material value of primary magic scrolls is about twenty silver coins.Last night, I asked Qige: How many silver coins does our magic scroll cost?

Qige blinked, and said to me with some embarrassment that when making the moonlight ink, the stabilizer Ningshen flower juice that stabilizes the magic elements in the ink has been used up, so the ink I used to draw the magic circle is Secondary ink without magic stabilizer, cheaper than real moonlight ink.Then Qige swore to me that I thought I needed to practice with ink, but 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 I made ink, next time Sufficient doses of stabilizers must be put in.

I said: Miss, can you tell me the main point, how much does it cost us to make a scroll?

Qige stretched out a finger slowly and said, "A silver coin!"

As for the efficacy of the 'Focus Fire' magic scroll, we can't say enough about it, okay!Let me just say that, apart from being able to light a fire for warmth, this thing doesn't seem to have found any other uses.Ordinary magic scrolls contain a primary magic skill, which has certain offensive or protective abilities, so travelers will carry them on their bodies as a means of saving their lives.This simplified version of Gathering Fire is useless. No one can expect monsters or enemies to jump into the bonfire foolishly, waiting for the flames to burn themselves to death.So later, Qige and I discussed in the morning to sell these fire-focus magic scrolls as outdoor daily necessities. In the wilderness at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau in early spring, although weeds are growing everywhere, hunters who want to hunt the magic antelope It is still very troublesome to collect a large amount of weeds to make a fire at night to keep warm. Sometimes chasing prey into areas where the weeds are thin, and even can only eat some raw and cold dried meat.With these 'Focus Fire' magic scrolls, these troubles will be easily solved.

Before entering the auction house, our group got in touch with the person in charge of the auction house. It was an old orc man in a formal dress. He asked us to call him Ke Luo.When I saw Ke Luo for the first time, I felt so awkward because the old orc was actually wearing a black suit similar to a Chinese tunic suit, with a pair of crystal rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he trimmed his hair and beard What kind of feeling does he give me?Contrary to harmony, this feeling is like a former Qing Dynasty veteran with big braids, a shaved forehead, and a pair of old BJ cloth shoes on his feet, who happens to be wearing a black tuxedo, holding a civilized The stick is indescribably awkward.But he was still able to talk to me in a serious manner, saying that because our goods were delivered a bit late, even if there were these goods, they would not reach the level of auction items, so he could only get them on the table during the free trading time before the informal auction Show them off to see if anyone wants to buy them.

The opinion of Qige and I is naturally as long as it can be sold, it does not matter if it is a free trade or a formal auction!But we really don't want to show up in person, and want the auction house to act as an agent for the auction. At best, we can pay the agency fee.So in terms of specific details, Qige and the old orc communicated again, and finally priced a scroll at twenty silver coins. In my opinion, unless someone lost his mind, who would spend nearly a month's income to buy it? A magic scroll that can only light a fire for warmth?

But it seems that the old orc and Qige are very confident that they will sell the magic scroll of Focus Fire at this price, so I won't say anything more.When we handed over a backpack of magic scrolls, Ke Luo, the orc auctioneer, paused for a moment, then groaned for a while, rolled his eyelids and looked at Qige triumphantly, "I'm not sure I'll sell all of these. Go, after all, there are limited customers in the auction house, not everyone has the idea of ​​buying this scroll!"

Qige waved his hands indifferently, took us to bid farewell to Ke Luo, the orc auctioneer, and walked into the auction house.

"You said our scrolls can really be sold?" I asked Qige suspiciously.

Qige turned to look at me and said with a smile: "We made a total of 23 fire-focusing scrolls. As long as one can be sold, the cost can be recovered. Maybe someone will 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, and I want to hunt a magic antelope in person to see what kind of magical world is there. I firmly believe that we have the ability to protect ourselves. strength.Sister Guoguo saw my insistence, so she could only sigh and shut her mouth, and asked Qige through me with some dissatisfaction: "Are you messing around with these two children?"

Qige smiled and said, "Isn't life the greatest adventure?"

Sister Guoguo was angry with it, but she couldn't refute it. This sentence was said by the sages and sages of magicians who used to be powerful in the Roland Continent. Later, many magicians took it as their life creed.
