Chapter 93 Magic Books and Magic Scrolls

Chapter 93 Magic Books and Magic Scrolls

The carriage was driving on the mountain road.

In the carriage, looking at Mrs. Maria sitting opposite, Claude felt his head hurt: "Madam, is this appropriate? In your capacity, you should let my father go to visit you, rather than you condescending to

Being a guest in a humble house..."

Mrs. Maria replied with a smile: "It's okay, I don't care about these details. In addition, I also have things to discuss with your father, such as hiring you to guard my forest farm..."

After finally dragging the three wild boars down the hillside, Claude discovered that the coachman Wayne and the rangers Sioli and his wife had nothing to do with the two wild boars that were allocated to them. Well, the coachman Wayne was bleeding.

He doesn't know how to butcher. The forester Sioli is a semi-cripple, with only three fingers on his right hand and unable to hold a butcher's knife. It is said that he was injured in the war when he was young.

The only ones left were the housekeeper Lutheran and the forester Xioli's wife, Aunt Lanxi. Looking at their looks, it was clear that expecting them to break up and slaughter the two wild boars was a hopeless thing.

In the end, Claude took matters into his own hands and asked Butler Lutheran to find a few things for the coachman Wayne and the Sioli couple to do. Without the crowd of irrelevant people watching, Claude once again used his magic hand and precise control.

It only took about half an hour to dismantle the two wild boars, skin them, cut them and remove their internal organs, in an orderly manner, placing all the useful and useless items clearly...

Lady Maria looked on with excitement and did not dislike the smell of blood at all. When Claude finished his work and asked her to borrow a carriage to transport his three-hundred-pound wild boar home, she actually got in too.

After getting out of the carriage, he said that he would take Claude back and pay a visit to Mr. Morsan, the administrative director of White Deer Town...

This is why Claude has a headache.

"Madam, do you really want to hire me to be the guard of your forest farm?" Claude asked.

"Of course, why should I lie to you?" Mrs. Maria said: "You see that Xioli and his wife are old, and Xioli is half disabled. I am worried that the group of wild boars will come to my forest farm to cause trouble. If you ask me,

If you are a guard, you don't have to worry about this. In addition, you can live in the forest farm, and I will give you the key to the pharmacy laboratory, where you can read as much as you like."

Claude smiled bitterly: "Madam, let me remind you that I will graduate from junior high school in two and a half months. Do you think now is the right time to hire me?"

"Well, I don't want to hide it from you since we are so familiar with each other. Actually, I want you to do something for me. You only need to take a week off from school. Maybe not even a week."

"Madam, what do you need me to do for you?"

"Claude, didn't I say that I can only stay here for ten more days before returning to the capital? Actually, I want to use these ten days to dismantle the crocodile specimen and use the membrane inside to make rune paper.

Take it back to the royal capital... You know if I bring this whole crocodile specimen to the royal capital, then I might not be able to keep this crocodile specimen... If you come to help me, I think I

Perhaps the rune paper made of crocodile skin can be directly made into a magic book, so that the magic book can be preserved better..."

After hearing what Mrs. Maria said, Claude also became interested: "Madam, can you tell me the purpose of this magic book? Is it for writing and preserving it for a long time?"

Claude thought that the magic book that Madam Maria said was made from the crocodile specimen of Naneros was like the two diaries and magic notebooks of Master Landes, which could ignore the passage of time and was still preserved nearly six hundred years later.

Like new.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Maria burst into laughter after hearing what Claude said: "Sorry, Claude, I forgot that you are a newbie in magic and don't know this common sense about magic. In fact, there are many kinds of magic books.

The kind of magic book you mentioned is basically made of the lowest grade rune paper. It has no effect except that it can be stored for a long time.

The magic book I want to make using this Niros crocodile specimen is relatively advanced, and is basically used to engrave magic talismans. By the way, Claude, have you heard of the magic quantification theory? That’s right.

Quantify the magic power in the hexagram, and use this quantified magic power to measure the size and difference in magic power consumption between each spell..."

I seem to have seen this in Master Landers' diary. Claude nodded and remembered. Master Landers mentioned this example in his diary when talking about imprinting seven basic spells. If the six-pointed star contains

If the magic power is 100, then the magic power consumed by the main engraved basic spell is between one and three per cast, and the magic power consumed by the next six basic spells per cast will be about three to five.

Although spells that are not engraved in the hexagram can be cast, the magic power consumed in drawing the magic array out of thin air and then releasing the spell is more than ten to twenty. Compared with the seven basic spells engraved in the hexagram,

Not only will it take longer to cast spells, but the magic power consumed is also very huge, so any mage must try his best to choose basic spells that are more suitable for him when he is promoted...

Seeing Claude nodding to indicate that he understood this theory of magic quantification, Mrs. Maria continued to explain: "It is impossible for any magician to only cast their seven basic spells, but magic limits the number of times they can cast other spells, so the two

More than a thousand years ago, magicians invented magic scrolls, which engraved magic runes on runic paper. When casting, you only need to input magic power to release the spell. The advantage of this is that it saves half of the magic power of casting spells out of thin air.

.

But this kind of magic scroll also has disadvantages, that is, the engraved spell cannot be released multiple times. The rune paper used to make the magic scroll cannot withstand the impact of magic released by multiple spells and is easily damaged. Later, some magicians based on this magic scroll

Improve the above and compile it into a book, and draw the recovery rune array on the cover and back cover, so that the rune paper carrying the magic rune structure of the spell can slowly return to its original state after the spell is released.

The better thing about magic books than magic scrolls is that they avoid the singleness of spells. A magic book has 24 pages of rune paper and can be engraved with 24 spells. When using it, the magician can choose various spells.

combination.

This way, unlike a magic scroll where there is only one spell, you have to choose from many magic scrolls to combine spells, which is complicated and a waste of time. At the same time, the recovery rune array of the magic book itself can extend the use times and durability of the rune paper.

Speed, and at the same time can save the consumption of one's own magic power, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, a formal magician has at least one or two magic books as his backup spell selection. The magic scroll was replaced by magic books and then developed other functions by magicians, that is, it became a one-time spell.

It is a carrying item. The current magic scroll is a magic talisman structure with spells engraved on it and then the magic power is sealed. As long as the scroll is torn open, the spell is released, so that even a non-magician can use the spell."

Madam Maria knew that Claude lacked knowledge in magic knowledge, so she explained in great detail: "At the end of the Dark Calendar, that is, when magic civilization declined and magic materials and magic resources became increasingly scarce and depleted, magicians

There are only two categories left: battle mage and rune mage. At that time, few magicians could carry several magic books with spells engraved on them, because the rune paper used to make those advanced magic books came from Warcraft.

At that time, the magical beasts had already become extinct in the continent of Farea.

Do you know why I rushed back from the royal capital as soon as I heard that someone in White Deer Town had hunted a giant Niros crocodile?"

Claude shook his head cooperatively.

Mrs. Maria continued to explain: "Because up to now, the skin of the adult crocodile of Niros is one of the three kinds of beasts in the entire Falea continent that can make the magic book rune paper. The other two are the red eyes of the western plateau of the continent.

The violent ape and the blood-backed gray wolf in the southern peninsula of the mainland are the ones known as the Alps Demonic Wolf in the novel.

Of course, if the rune paper made of Niros crocodile skin is used to make a magic book, it can only carry zero-level and first-level spells at most. If higher-level spells are engraved, it will be like the original magic scroll and cannot withstand the release of spells.

The magical impact at that time eventually caused the entire magic book to be damaged.

This is also the reason why magicians looked down on the Neros crocodile hundreds of years ago. But for us registered magicians, a specimen of the Neros crocodile is enough for us to fight over. After all, we have learned everything

It's a low-level and harmless spell like rubbish. Fortunately, this time I got the news first and rushed here, otherwise in two or three months, when the special department in the royal capital finds out, I won't have any part in it..."

"Now do you understand? Why do I have to stay here for about ten days?" Mrs. Maria looked at Claude and said: "I am going to peel off the skin of the Niros crocodile here in the forest farm and make it into a talisman.

After writing the paper, I will take it back to the capital, so that no one can snatch it from me. If they want it, they can only exchange it with me.

When you were cutting up the two wild boars just now, it suddenly occurred to me that if Claude came to help me, I wouldn't have to peel off the skin membrane from the crocodile specimen by myself. You could just use magic.

I will use my hands to help me achieve my goal. Then I will have time to use this crocodile skin film to make rune paper and then try to make a few magic books. Anyway, I have all the production materials here at the forest farm..."

Claude finally understood why Madam Maria was targeting him. He could only smile bitterly: "Madam, I can teach you the two spells of magic hand and precise control, so that you can use it effortlessly.

A magic book was made from a stuffed crocodile head.”

Madam Maria refused: "That would be a waste of my magic power. You are imprinting these two spells as basic spells, and using these two spells does not require much magic power. I don't have a magic book to carry these two spells now.

I estimate that at least a lot of magic power will be wasted every time I use it, and I can't use it several times a day, so I think it's better to use you..."

Okay, this is being relied upon.

"Claude, don't think that I am ordering you. Think about it for yourself. What I am doing will be of great benefit to you." Mrs. Maria said sternly.

What's the benefit? Claude looked at her puzzled.

Mrs. Maria laughed again. She seemed to like seeing Claude's worried look: "Think about it for yourself, when I used you, did you follow me and learn how to use the Niros Crocodile?"

I believe you have never learned how to make rune leather paper from skin membrane?"

I have learned it, Claude said silently in his heart, that Master Landes recorded in his diary the steps and process of how to use the skin of Niros crocodile to make rune paper. Of course, Master Landes only used this rune.

He used leather paper to make his own diary and magic notes, not a magic book that engraved low-level spells like Madam Maria. Claude had only read it and kept it in mind, he had not practiced it yet.

But at this time he could only nod silently.

"Also, after making the rune leather paper, I may make a few magic books and magic scrolls. You can also learn the whole process next to me. If you don't understand, just ask and I will give you the answer." Mrs. Maria proposed again.

a more attractive condition.

"Really?" Claude was moved. This Landes mage really didn't record it in his diary. If Madam Maria taught him how to make a magic book, then he could go to Kermida Swamp to hunt Niros by himself in the future.

The crocodile came back and peeled off its skin to make a magic book.

"Also, if the magic book this time is well made, I can give you one as your reward." Madam Maria seduced Claude again: "The only condition is that you have to live with me.

Go to the forest farm and listen to my instructions at any time to do things.

I heard Butler Lutheran telling a joke about you climbing on the roof last year and being treated as a thief by the patrol. I think you were practicing meditation at that time. If you live in my forest farm, you don’t have to worry about being discovered.

It's secret.

When I return to the royal capital in ten days, you can be responsible for the forest farm here. Just like the excuse I told your father, I will hire you as the guard of the forest farm. You can continue to live here, read my collection of books, and even...

Use my potion lab."

Claude finally moved: "Okay, madam, as long as you can convince my father, I will always be at your disposal..."
