Lord of Arcane

Chapter 207 Collective Wisdom
I don't know how the lord did it, but Xia Duo thought, since the documents have been implemented, can the supplies from the princess also be implemented?

Looking at the scepter again, now this scepter can be called the "Great Xia Scepter", and the scepter has only one function——

Immune to mind spells!

This is the message left by the maker of the scepter. Although Xia Duo didn't know what level of psychic spells he could be immune to, he could feel a kind of heartfelt peace of mind holding this thing.

It's like putting a layer of protective clothing on the soul. If this effect is only worth a few thousand gold coins, Xia Duo would not believe it if he killed him.

Coupled with the very miraculous gold paper document, Xia Duo felt that this pioneering plan was so generous at the beginning, and it was absolutely impossible for there to be only the three of them.

Of course, it is impossible to spread too much, otherwise, wouldn't the gold paper and scepter be too cheap.

……

After confirming that the documents were correct, Xia Duo put away two more things before heading to the library.

Now that the arcane competition is over, and the time for territory development has not yet come, this period can be said to be Xia Duo's most leisurely time.

Of course, even if he is leisurely, it is only a relaxed state of mind, and he will not let go of what he should do.

His main task during this time will be on the study of magic theory, such as the nature of the magic net, plane knowledge, spell principles and so on.

As for the specific spells, Xia Duo is not going to learn too much for the time being. There are two main reasons. One is that if the main theory is learned well, spells will always be researched.

Another reason is also somewhat related to the previous one. He wants to keep the money to open up the territory.

Even if he traded with Lord Epps and replaced it with developing the Green Bead Forest, the development is still inevitable. He doesn't believe that the princess has spent so much effort on some kind of pioneering movement, which will let him stay in the mage tower and enjoy the "exploitation" for nothing. "benefits".

Furthermore, in the long run, a mature territory can also provide him with a steady stream of gold coins, but it will be a little harder in the early stage.

……

When he came to the library, the mage on duty took the initiative to greet Xia Duo. Xia Duo remembered his name, Veblen, a level 4 mage.

But he was almost a round older than Xia Duo. Having seen Xia Duo's performance in the arcane competition, and Xia Duo's mentor suddenly became the lord's daughter, Veblen naturally wanted to make friends.

"Master Veblen, the teacher asked me to borrow some books." Xia Duo was not arrogant, but was as usual.

After chatting with Master Veblen for a few words, when talking about Niya, Xia Duo stopped the topic very rationally, and then came to the middle-level section of the library.

Here, Xia Duo saw many books similar to "The Art of Fireball" and "Several Variations of Fireball". It seems that middle-level mages really like fireball!
Xia Duo skipped the spell books and searched all the way until he finally found the book he wanted to borrow this time in an inconspicuous corner——

"Intermediate Arcane Geometry"!
It's just a pity that this book is not a magic book, but a manuscript that looks like a manuscript, and Xia Duo can't see too many details through the protective barrier.

Because Niya said that she had notified Ta Ling, Xia Duo reached out to take it directly, and the palm penetrated through the barrier without any barrier, as if the barrier was just a layer of air film.

But this is obviously not the case. Xia Duo couldn't enter this middle-level division before, and in the elementary division, there are also many books that have borrowing restrictions. If you don't have permission, you will only be blocked if you reach out.

Xia Duo was of course dissatisfied with only one copy of "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and reached out to the next book "How to Dispel Magic Elegantly".

This book is obviously a book that contains spell details and spellcasting techniques. Most spell books are like this, and this book is more about the spell that Xia Xia has been looking for for a long time for dispelling magic.

"Ok?"

Xia Duo's fingers were blocked by an invisible but tough barrier, and he could feel that as long as he tried harder, he should be able to break through.

It is forbidden to cast spells in the library, and it is impossible for ordinary mages without his great power to break through.

But he still stopped, forcibly is not beautiful after all.

Afterwards, Xia Duo went to the apprentice section again, took a copy of "Morrowind Poems", and then went to Veblen to pay for it. "Intermediate Arcane Geometry" was borrowed by Niya, no money required.

And because "Morrowind Poems" is the best textbook for learning Elven language, even if it is in the apprentice section, it will cost 100 gold coins to borrow for one day.

……

Coming out of the library, Xia Duo sighed once again about the mage's style of begging for money, but when he thought that magic is a seller's market, he could only let out a long sigh.

Xia Duo already has the idea of ​​promoting magic education in his own territory in the future. Only when more people participate in it, can magic develop the fastest.

Like Netheril's current model, relying only on a few geniuses to promote the development of magic is really too backward. If the genius falls, wouldn't it be a great loss of vitality and depression?
What Xia Duo thinks is that as long as they have the appearance of a man, they don't ask them to achieve any magical ultimate goal, as long as they can provide a spark of inspiration for collective wisdom.

No matter how talented people are, they always have a limited side of cognition. Only by learning from others' strengths can they have the broadest path, which is also Xia Duo's path.

……

Back at the residence, the first thing Xia Duo had to do was to copy the book. The book on Arcane Geometry was not in a hurry, and he didn't need to spend money anyway, but the "Morrowind Poems" had to be copied as soon as possible.

Learning Elven language is not a matter of a day or two. It is not uncommon to learn it for a few years. Xia Duo is ready to fight a protracted battle.

The strokes of the elf characters are complicated, but they also have hidden rules and are full of artistic beauty. Xia Duo has come into contact with individual elf characters before, but he has not learned them systematically.

Nowadays, when copying, it is quite difficult.

Sometimes it is just a small bend of the strokes, which may bring a completely different meaning, so when copying, you must be careful and careful.

From morning, noon, and night, Xia Duo didn't even finish copying half of it in almost a day, and after dinner, Xia Duo was preparing to make magic scrolls.

After all, the number of casting spells in each rest period should not be wasted. What Xia Duo needs to do is [Magic Alarm] and [Magic Weapon] scrolls.

These two kinds of scrolls can be sold to the mage tower, not only can he get a sum of gold coins, but also can be exempted from the previous promotion task, and the extra ones can be used when he expands the territory.

Now it depends on how efficient he is. If he can save a lot, he can save a lot of effort when developing. At this time, Xia Duo inexplicably hopes that the elf mage in the Green Pearl Forest can stay for a while.

Making magic scrolls is equivalent to solidifying one's spellcasting ability, and the maximum number of scrolls that can be made in each rest period is the number of spellcastings.

Impossible to overproduce.

Xia Duo’s current spellcasting times are probably more than 20 first-level spells, and the magic net stores spells, that is, the spell slot can store 1 second-level spells.
And because he doesn't know 2nd-level spells yet, Xia Duo has stored 8 1st-level spells. (These do not count bloodline abilities)

The spells stored in the magic net are purely consumables. Even if they are used to make scrolls today, they will still need to be replenished in the future, which is equivalent to reducing the number of daily spell castings.

Therefore, the spell position does not move, and Xia Duo can only make about 20 scrolls per day, which does not include the failure rate and time.
