The Truth of Magic

125 Chapter 124-record

Antonya put down the “quick-writing quill” and left after explaining to him how to use it.

zhao xu picked up the magic quill. it looked like a normal quill, but it was worth 1750 gold coins.

According to Antonya, as long as he awakened the scribe Scroll specialty, he would be able to use the draconic language to activate this Quill and start writing according to His will.

although it could only be activated once a day, it was powerful because it could be taken over by no one.

as long as zhao xu activated it before he fell asleep, it would be able to work until it finished copying the entire spell.

but there was a condition for it to become zhao xu’s.

zhao xu had to be able to activate this “quick-writing quill” before the projection ended.

the prerequisite for activating it was naturally that he had already mastered the ‘scribe scroll’ specialty.

The post on the forum where everyone used a Quill to copy scrolls had become a Daily Post.

zhao xu took a deep breath and focused his attention on the illusionary projection. he started to think about the profoundness of the copy scroll.

Ever since he had awakened as an enlightened spellcaster, copying spells into his mind was as easy as eating for him.

those spell models were like stone monuments in the deep mountains and forests. others had climbed up with great difficulty, glanced at them, and then descended the mountain to copy the contents of the stone monuments they had seen.

without going back and forth a few times, he couldn’t guarantee that his understanding was correct.

This was also the reason why ordinary mages would take a day to understand spells when copying them into spellbooks, and only a few minutes to copy them after understanding them.

as for the spell consumption, copying it into a scroll was part of the manufacturing process, which was why it would start from level 0 for half an hour, and go all the way to level 9 spells for three days.

from the start of the game until now, most mages spent most of their time understanding and copying spells. they couldn’t fight monsters and were just porters of spells.

otherwise, it would not have been so easy for the mages to delete their accounts.

at the start, zhao xu had relied on his enlightened spellcaster ability to copy spells into his mind. it was like taking a cable car up the mountain with a camera and then coming back. naturally, he wouldn’t be able to experience the hardships of normal wizard players.

it was not just empty talk that the residents of arthur needed years or even decades to complete their wizard training.

slowly, zhao xu picked up his pen and dipped it in the special ink. then, he started to write down the spell model in his heart on the leather paper that had already been laid out flat.

Zhao Xu chose to copy it down to read magic, which was playing the key points of copying on the projection.

this spell was the simplest and most familiar to most mages.

And when the pen in Zhao Xu’s hand started to move around, he started to calm down.

in the square, many apprentice mages were scratching their heads.

it was easy to copy, but it wasn’t so easy to make the copied scroll magical.

after the spell was copied, the entire casting process, including the consumption of various spell materials and experience, had been integrated into the scroll.

This was also the reason why ordinary people who had never learned magic could cast spells with scrolls as long as they had received training in the ability to use magic devices.

As for the apprentice Wizards present, they didn’t have any spell slots, so they learned the copy scroll ability by copying spells into their spellbooks first.

Each of them had already mastered the spell ‘read magic’, which was the only spell they could memorize without having to copy it from a spellbook.

To the apprentices below the stage, this was not just a training session to copy scrolls, but also a competition.

most of the apprentices chosen by the floating city to take part in the copying scroll training had not yet started the course, making it easier to compare.

In order to motivate the apprentices, the floating city also promised that the course would last for three hours. Before the end of the course, the first person to successfully awaken the ability of the scribe Scroll would be given an ” automatic memory Quill.

The specific method was to copy the ‘Reading Magic’ that they had already memorized into their respective spellbooks.

This was because everyone no longer needed to spend half a day to learn and understand spells. As long as they obtained this ability, copying it out would be a piece of cake.

The temptation of almost 2000 gold pieces caused a sensation among the apprentices.

Many novice mages with ordinary backgrounds had made up their minds to use this feather pen as a prize to bribe the teachers so that they could obtain the qualifications to stay at the school as assistants.

The novice mages who came from mage families knew that as long as they could win the championship, they would have a chance to enter the family’s priority training sequence.

As for the players, most of them wanted to turn this Quill into gold coins to exchange for more practical resources.

he won the prize just to save some copying time? The players weren’t that lazy.

luna, a female mage player, was holding a quill in her hand. she was trembling as she watched the illusionary projection explain the model, and she felt a little breathless.

she was not originally on the list of players this time. it was a warm player sister she knew in the floating city, ” asvich, ” who had helped her arrange it.

Luna was a professional gamer in the studio, and she played the game to make money.

her studio often appeared in various popular online games. they first carried out the initial layout, snowballed, made money and sold, and then helped the boss take off.

this time, the boss of the studio believed that arthur would definitely be a hit, so he sold all the accounts in other popular online games at a discount and put all his energy into arthur.

it was just that until today, none of the spellcasters that their studio had been focusing on had graduated.

However, there was nothing they could do. Within a month of Arthur’s release, countless gaming studios had lost their jobs. As professional gamers, they couldn’t understand why they were having a hard time like ordinary gamers.

in the end, the boss of the studio had no choice but to have luna delete her ranger account and change to a mage.

To his surprise, Luna was lucky enough to be born in the magical floating city.

however, all she had received after entering the floating city was a blow.

those npcs were more arrogant than the teachers of the mage academies in other towns and cities, and they also ignored the players.

among the players, other than a few who were extremely talented, many of them wanted to compete with each other.

it wasn’t until luna met asvich that she felt a little warmer.

However, she might have to waste this opportunity that the other party had fought for for her through unknown means.

luna turned around and looked around the square. many people were just as confused as her.

among the players, the fastest one to master the ability of a copy scroll was half a day.

Three hours might have been a joke from the start.

The floating city was just a bait for them.

luna sighed even more at this thought.

compared to the other squares that were surrounded by walls, this square was like a city tower. behind the second and third floors were rows of rooms, but it was pitch black and impossible to see through.

luna even suspected that the high-level npcs of the floating city were watching them from there.

“I can’t take it anymore. How can I finish it in three hours? If I was this strong, I wouldn’t have failed to graduate today.” a male player who had managed to sneak in couldn’t stand it anymore, threw his pen on the ground, and left.

Compared to listening to the class and studying by themselves, everyone in the square was competing with each other. Some people had even raised their pens and were ready to try.

these differences directly crushed people’s hearts.

Even the male player didn’t understand how a broken game could make him so depressed.

on the other hand, the native wizards of arthur, who had gone through years or even decades of training, were completely focused on the reading magic incantation that they had memorized.

they were also under great pressure. they knew that this wasn’t as simple as an ‘automatic memory quill’. it was an opportunity for them to make a great leap.

Arthur had been developing for thousands of years.

The existence of the gods allowed the entire Arthur to remain calm without any external interference.

however, this was also the beginning of the social hierarchy slowly solidifying.

Everyone knew that mages were powerful, which made it even more difficult to become a mage.

the native mages did not have the unique conditions of the adventurers on earth, who came to the floating city without any tests.

There were even many people from mage families who had defeated their brothers and sisters around them before they could rise to the floating city to study.

as for the other family members, they could only find the mage academy in the nearest town to settle down.

no matter how much pressure they felt, they didn’t dare to vent it out in this place.

luna knew that she shouldn’t gloat at at their misfortune, but she still couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Most of the time, you don’t need to surpass others. As long as you know that others are as bad as you, it’s easy to find comfort.

Seeing that the male player couldn’t stand it anymore and left, Luna also packed up and prepared to leave. She had already made up her mind to go back and tell her boss that she really couldn’t play as a mage.

suddenly, all the lights in the square lit up.

Everyone was shocked by this scene and couldn’t help but look around.

Then, everyone’s eyes were locked on, as if they had become dull.

A sentence appeared on the illusory projection in front of him.

[ an adventurer from earth has successfully awakened the scribe Scroll specialty. He has successfully copied the read magic scroll and took 22 minutes. [ the competition has ended. the adventurer from earth will receive an ‘automatic memory quill’. ]

“Look, behind you!” an apprentice exclaimed.

everyone turned around and looked at the dark second floor. one of the floor-to-ceiling windows had turned transparent, and they could vaguely see a man in a mage’s robe pushing the door open and leaving.

“How is that possible?”

this was already the question in everyone’s heart.

the apprentices, who were well aware of floating city’s strict rules, knew that the person who was able to appear on the second floor must have had no knowledge of the scribe scroll. otherwise, he would not have competed with them.

however, what was the record for the fastest person in the floating city to awaken a scribe scroll?

but how can you copy level 0 spells so quickly? ” a weak voice was heard.

At this moment, all the apprentice mages present could not help but gasp. The other party was copying a scroll that took half an hour!

Unlike their spellbooks, which only took a few minutes.

” if we deduct the ten minutes or so he spent explaining at the beginning, doesn’t that mean that he only used six minutes? ”

at this time, this group of apprentice mages who knew the inside story was already speechless.

how could that be possible?

“before the great catastrophe, the rules of the weave hadn’t changed yet, so copying rank 0 spell scrolls really did take six minutes.”

a pale-faced apprentice mage said.
