Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 27 Magic Scroll
The hazy night shrouded a noisy village. In a low house in the deepest part of the small village, a faint light was shining through the wooden windows.

In this dimly lit house, the only source of light was a burning oil lamp on the table. The flame emitted a faint wisp of smoke, which rose and then slowly disappeared into the air.

Brian sat on a chair beside the table, writing mysterious magic runes on a sheepskin scroll with a concentrated expression, with delicate and skillful techniques.

The house is surprisingly quiet, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside the village, only the soft sound of the metal pen tip scratching the sheepskin scroll can be heard.

In a short time, the sheepskin scroll written with mysterious runes by Brian suddenly flashed with subtle magical light, as if the stars were connected into a whole.

Until all the light on the scroll faded away, Brian carefully put down the pen in his hand, gently rolled up the palm-sized sheepskin scroll, and took out a black string to tie it into a snap-to-open activity. Button it and tuck it contentedly into the coat's easily accessible inner pocket.

After making a copy of the "Secondary Flame Ball" magic scroll, Brian reached out and rubbed his slightly sore neck, then stood up from the chair and relaxed for a while.

He stared at the window, looking up at the dark sky through the dense cobwebs.

No matter in his previous life or in this life, he likes to look up at the vast starry sky alone very much.

Especially when he really traveled to this real magical world, this hobby became particularly prominent.

Because Brian knew very well that from the moment he decided to embark on the path of a wizard, it meant that his future would be spent in countless days and nights of boring spell research, meditating hard in the tower, and spending time in the middle of the night. Looking up at the stars will become his norm.

The only purpose is to pursue the most essential power of law in this world and become a true immortal.

Looking up, the stars twinkle like ideals, and he can always easily find the star that belongs to him.

When he bows his head, he will understand another truth: the long road is long and full of difficulties, and everything needs to be down-to-earth.

For Brian, everything starts from looking up at the stars, and finally realizes it down to earth.

This is like the arcane empire in ancient times. From the moment the floating city was launched, the distance between the arcanists and the multiverse began to shorten.

From the moment the first great arcanist discovered a certain small plane in the multiverse, it also meant ushering in the era of the rule of the Arcane Empire colonizing the planes in the multiverse.

It all starts with looking up at the stars.

However, without the research and exploration of generations of arcanists day after day, year after year, without the accumulation of fine data, they can only look up after all.

Brian withdrew his gaze, returned to the chair, and then took out a blank sheepskin scroll, and continued to copy spells.

As a wizard, the specialty of copying scrolls is naturally a basic skill that Brian must master.

After all, if he only relies on arcane fire to cast spells, the number of spells he can release every day is really limited.

Therefore, this shortcoming can only be made up for by this kind of magic scroll that can deal with many emergencies.

Why is it said that a well-prepared wizard can be almost invincible in battle? The powerful spells they master are just one of them.

In fact, what is more important is the endless layers of magic scrolls, wands and rings that record spells, and even various powerful magic items that wizards hide in the dark pockets inside the robes.

Of course, since Brian only has the ability to cast one-level spells now, he still dare not say that he can really be invincible in this world.

However, if he is allowed to use the wealth he has accumulated now to make as many magic scrolls as possible to protect himself, there is still no problem.

The magic scroll is a kind of magic item that is relatively easy to get started, has a wide range of applications, and is not expensive. For Brian now, it is naturally perfect.

However, the only drawback of this kind of scroll is that it is a one-time consumable. Using the scroll to attack the enemy is more like throwing money like crazy.

For example, the finished sheepskin scroll made by Brian himself. This kind of scroll that can absorb magic power is made by soaking the blood of magical creatures and some potions made by plants that contain magic power.

The ink used in the transcription scrolls is made from powder ground from low-grade gemstones.

Because the magic scroll itself is a magic item, its production materials must have a strong affinity with magic.

According to the cost of production materials calculated by Brian, the cost price of each scroll that transcribes a ring of spells is at least 25 gold coins.

25 gold coins may not be much to Brian, and sometimes it is not even enough for a luxurious dinner, but just throwing it out casually will still hurt him.

Not long ago, he spent a lot of effort hunting down a jackal, and only got 100 gold coins. It is rare for him to blackmail Artes for 3000 gold coins.

This has not counted the 5 points of magic energy consumed by his arcane fire, and his own 20 points of experience.

In the main material world where the magic net is open, the principle for wizards to make magic scrolls is very simple.

The general process is to form a three-dimensional spell structure with the spells you need, copy it on the scroll, and then transform the spell structure woven by the magic net into a flat structure and overlap it with the spell structure on the sheepskin scroll.

After the production is successful, when using it, you only need to activate it, and the scroll will establish a connection with the magic net through the spell structure, condense the magic energy in the air, and successfully cast the spell.

However, in the Asno world blocked by the magic network, naturally the same method cannot be used.

When Brian makes a spell scroll, the first step is to copy the spell structure onto the scroll. When the entire spell is copied, arcane fire must be used to transmit magical energy to the scroll and be stored in the scroll.

When he needs to use this scroll, he only needs to activate it, and he can cast the spell in it instantly.

These two methods can be said to have advantages and disadvantages, but Brian thinks that his production method will be more practical than magic scrolls relying on magic nets without the consumption of magic energy.

Because when the magic scroll in the main material world is activated, there is a short process of connecting to the magic network. Although this time does not have much impact on low-level spells, in the battle against time, no one can guarantee that it will be certain. Will not roll over.

In his gaming career in his previous life, he had seen too many scenes where wizards were killed as soon as they activated the life-saving scroll.

The scroll made by Brian is different, because he has injected magical energy into it in advance during the production process.

This also means that when activating the scroll, he directly saves the process of connecting to the magic network, and can even cast it instantly.

Although the consumption of magic energy and experience points made him very painful, being able to own a magic scroll in this world was his unique innate advantage.

After all, in this world where the magic net is banned, the warlocks here simply do not have the ability to make magic scrolls and magic items.
