Lord of Arcane

Chapter 610 [Printing] Sif Silver Leaf
The largest and most stable output of ordinary mages in Netheril is the magic scroll. Linking the magic net to the scroll is equivalent to casting the spell again. Of course, there are still some differences in practice.

In addition, drawing the arcane geometry graphics on the scroll also takes a lot of time.

Therefore, no matter which mage it is, it is basically impossible to convert all idle spellcasting abilities into magic scrolls for storage.

If you have a printing press, you only need to use your idle spellcasting ability to link the magic net to the pre-prepared quasi-magic scroll before going to bed.

The level of convenience is comparable to the level 5 spell [Create Arcane Crystal], which greatly improves the mage's utilization rate of his own spellcasting ability.

……

The arcane geometry graphics on the magic scrolls require finer and more uniform. If you want to print quasi-magic scrolls, ordinary woodblock printing is not a good choice.

There is nothing wrong with the engraving itself, no matter how fine it is, it can be made through the alchemy circle, but Xia Duo doesn't know much about modern printing on the earth. He has tried several printing methods himself, and the quasi-magic scrolls he produced have various various problems.

Either the ink is uneven, or there is excess ink, and the yield rate is not high.

It doesn't matter if it's a low-level scroll, the ink is cheap anyway, but if it's a mid-level or high-level scroll, it's hard to accept. If you add the failure rate when linking to the magic net, there is a high probability of losing money.

Maybe someone in Netheril can improve the process of ordinary woodblock printing so that it can print qualified quasi-magic scrolls in batches, but Xia Duo alone can't think of a way in a short time.

And in front of him, there is a better way, which makes him even less motivated to improve the craft.

[Transcription] This level 1 spell brought back from [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] is almost born for printing, and it also has a specific evolution direction. It is directly called [Print in the Arcane Empire] surgery].

Ordinary ink traces, or magic traces can be printed in batches.

The Arcane Empire does have a printing press. Although Xia Duo has never seen the real thing, he has read books related to printing and knows something about printing presses.

Unlike mechanical creations that achieve specific functions through complex structures, magic items and spells are the core. As long as you know the specific spells, you can easily design corresponding magic items.

Perhaps the printing press designed by Xia Duo is different from the original version of the Arcane Empire, but the core functions are the same, and they all ensure the stable operation of the core spell [Printing].

After returning from the projection plane of the Arcane Empire, Xia Duo has been busy advancing. After watching the Arcane Competition, he was busy studying spell books. Although the printing press was on his list of plans, it was at the bottom of the list. .

If he had known that he might face the drow invasion and the unknown crisis brought by the scarlet flashing star, he would have already produced the printing press, and he would desperately hoard magic scrolls.

Thinking about it now, I really regret it, but it's not too late, after all, Zall hasn't really come to kill him, and he is actually making a routine preparation.

……

While Xia Duo was busy designing the printing press, far east of Conifera City, in a small town on the northwest border of Comanso, the Silver Leaf family was busy packing up their belongings and preparing to flee.

An atmosphere of panic pervaded the entire family settlement, but at this critical juncture, the family elder O'Brien blocked the patriarch Orepus' room.

Seeing his son's calm expression, O'Brien's anger grew even worse. If he wasn't worried about being discovered by other tribesmen, he would almost roar out, "Going to the human territory is such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with me in advance? ?!"

"Father, I have already discussed this matter with my two uncles."

"Have we discussed it?!" O'Brien's eyes widened, and his long ears trembled in extreme anger, and his anger even made the magic net around him slightly change.

The patriarch Orepus finally couldn't help frowning, and his tone became a little more serious, "Father, do you want to fight with me? In front of the juniors of other families? You are so old, can you be more mature?" !"

"I'm immature?" O'Brien was most annoyed by his son saying this, so he even forgot the original purpose of coming to find his son, and just stared at this point, wanting Orepus to explain clearly.

Orepus took a deep breath, trying to maintain his mentality from collapsing, he pulled O'Brien into the room, closed the door, and his tone softened a little, "Father, I didn't tell you in advance because I was worried about having one more insider , just one more risk of leakage, do you understand me when I say this?"

Hearing his son's serious explanation, O'Brien was not so angry anymore, so he said, "I'm not a talkative elf! You tell me in advance, I'm sure I can keep the secret."

"Yes, I know you will definitely keep the secret." Orepus' tone was already very weak. In private, he didn't need to maintain the majesty of the patriarch. He had already coaxed his father almost like a child.

"Then why go to Savile?" O'Brien asked again.

That's the key!
Orepus knew that his father didn't really care whether he received the notice in advance. After so many years, he should have gotten used to it by now, but there was one thing, Savile Land was indeed a place where his father was more sensitive.

But right now, only Savile Land is the most suitable place to take refuge. Oripus couldn't bear to deceive his father, so he said:

"I got accurate news that the drow has broken through the defense line and appeared on the surface, and it is not far from the north bank of the Tessa River, very close to us, and maybe it will hit Sif City tomorrow, and Sif City has no mysteries , It is impossible to block the pace of Zall's attack, we must leave as soon as possible."

"Really?!" O'Brien was shocked. He only knew that the family was going to live in the human territory temporarily, but he didn't expect that the threat of drow was imminent.

"It's true, apart from us in Sif City, only the Yuehen family knows about this situation, and I also learned about it from them."

Hearing the name of the "Moonscar Family", O'Brien showed a dazed expression. Among the elves, those family names with the imprint of "Sun, Moon and Star" belonged to the "Upper Family", or branches of the Upper Family, at least they used to be.

It is indeed possible for the Yuehen family to know such information.

But even knowing that Drow might be about to attack Sif City, O'Brien still had some reluctance to go to Savile Land. He looked at his son a little flatteringly, "Then why don't we go to other big cities? Big cities have mystic locks." , can definitely stop Drow!"

"Big cities do have mystics, but big cities also have local forces in big cities. How can a small family like ours who fled the past be allowed to enter it without being raided? Even if it goes in, the drow war is in progress. Who knows if we will be forced to join the war! It’s better for the humans, as long as Comanzo is still there, they dare not do anything to us.”

Orepus said quietly.

At this time, he was very envious of the Yuehen family. With the care of the master family, he could hide in a big city with a mystical lock for a small price, but compared to other elves in Sif City who didn't know In other words, the Yinye family has been lucky again.

O'Brien fell into deep thought at Orepus' words. At this time, he already knew why the family had gone to Savile to collect it, and at the same time, he finally felt the difficulty of his son maintaining the family.

O'Brien has finally let go of the fact that his son gathered his two younger brothers to oust him from the position of patriarch 90 years ago. His son is indeed better than him, at least in terms of family management.

"I'm going to see if the clansman needs help."

After speaking, O'Brien quickly left his son's room.

In the room, Orepus showed a wry smile, "Father, I hope you can maintain this state forever!"
