Antinoya put down the "automatic shorthand quill", briefly explained how to use it, and left directly.
Zhao Xu picked up this magic quill. It looked similar to an ordinary quill, but it was worth 1,750 gold coins.
According to Antinoya, as long as he awakens the special ability of "copying scrolls", he can use dragon language to activate the quill and start writing text according to his wishes.
Although it can only be started once a day, it is powerful in that it can be unmanaged.
As long as Zhao Xu starts it before falling asleep, it will be able to work until the entire spell is copied.
However, there is a prerequisite for it to become Zhao Xu's.
It was Zhao Xude who was able to activate this "automatic shorthand quill" before the illusion projection ended.
The prerequisite for activation is naturally that he has mastered the "Scroll of Transcription" specialty.
Forum posts about everyone's struggles while using quill pens to copy scrolls have become daily posts.
Zhao Xu took a deep breath, focused on the illusion projection, and began to think about the mystery of the transcribed scroll.
Ever since he awakened as the Wisdom Heart Spellcaster, copying spells into his mind was as simple as eating.
Those spell models are like stone tablets in deep mountains and forests. Others climbed up with great difficulty, took a look, and then went down the mountain to faithfully copy what they saw on the stone tablets.
If you don't go back and forth several times, you won't be able to guarantee whether what you understand is correct or not.
This is why ordinary mages spend a day studying and copying spells into spell books, but it only takes a few minutes to copy them after understanding.
The consumption of spells and transcribing them into scrolls is because it is a manufacturing process, which starts from half an hour at level zero and lasts until three days at level nine.
From the time the game was launched to the present, most mages have basically spent their time on understanding and copying spells. They cannot fight monsters and just act as porters of spells and incantations.
Otherwise, the mage account deletion incident would not have been so easy to brew.
At first, Zhao Xu relied on the ability of "intelligent spell caster" to transcribe spells into his heart, which was equivalent to riding a cable car up the mountain with a camera and shooting back. Naturally, he could not appreciate the hard work of ordinary mage players.
Arthur residents have to spend several years or even ten years to complete the mage training, which is never an empty promise.
Slowly, Zhao Xu took hold of his pen, dipped it in special ink, and began to write on the flat paper according to the spell model in his mind.
The object that Zhao Xu chose to copy was the "reading magic" that played the key points of the transcription on the illusion projection.
This spell is the simplest and most familiar to the majority of mages.
And when the pen in Zhao Xu's hand began to outline, he slowly calmed down.
In the square, many mage apprentices were scratching their heads.
It's easy to copy the gourd and draw the scoop, but it is not so easy to make the copied scrolls magical.
When the spell transcription is completed, the entire spell casting process, including the consumption of various spell materials and experience, has been integrated into the scroll.
This is also the reason why ordinary people who have never learned magic can cast spells with scrolls as long as they have received training in the ability to "use magic devices".
The mage apprentices present had not obtained spell slots, so when they learned the ability to copy scrolls, they first used it to copy spells into spell books.
Each of them has mastered the spell "Reading Magic". This spell is also the only spell that can be memorized without copying it in a spell book.
For the mage apprentices in the field, this is not just a training to copy scrolls, but also a competition.
Most of the people selected by Floating City to participate in the scroll-copying training this time are mage apprentices who have not yet started this course, so that they can be easily compared.
And in order to motivate these apprentices, Floating City also promised that the course time will be three hours. Before the end of the course time, the first person who successfully awakens the ability to copy scrolls will receive an "automatic shorthand quill".
The specific method is to copy the "reading magic" they have memorized in their hearts into their respective spell books.
Because you no longer need to spend half a day learning and understanding spells. As long as you obtain this ability, you can copy it in one fell swoop.
This temptation of nearly 2000 GP caused a sensation among these apprentices on the spot.
Many novice mages from ordinary backgrounds have made up their minds to bribe their tutors with this quill as a prize so that they can stay in school as assistants.
Novice mages who come from a mage family know that as long as they can successfully win the championship, they will have the opportunity to enter the family's key training sequence.
As for the player group, most of them want to cash in this quill pen into gold coins to exchange for more practical materials.
Simply taking the prize to save time on copying? Their players are not so lazy.
Luna, a female mage player, held the quill in her hand and was trembling all the time. She felt a little hard to breathe as she looked at the illusion projection that was constantly explaining the model.
She was not originally on the selection list this time, but a very warm player girl she knew in the floating city, "Eswig", arranged it for her.
Luna is a studio professional player who plays games to make money.
The studio where she works often appears in major popular online games, starting with the initial layout and snowballing, from selling for gold, to taking off with the boss, and so on.
This time, the studio boss believed that the game "Arthur" would definitely become a hit, so he sold all other popular online games at a discount and devoted all his energy to Arthur.
It’s just that as of today, no one has graduated from the spellcaster profession that their studio focuses on.
But everyone was helpless. Within a month of opening the server, Arthur had ruined the jobs of countless studios. Those professional players, as high-level players, could not understand why they were having the same difficulties as ordinary players.
As a last resort, the studio boss asked Luna to delete her ranger account and switch to a mage account.
Who would have known that Luna was lucky, or that she fit the mage's route very well, and her birth point was directly in the magical floating city.
It's just that after entering the floating city, she received all the blows.
Those game NPCs are more arrogant than the instructors of other town mage academies, and they also ignore their players.
As for the player group, except for those few whose talents are outstanding, many others are interested in competing with each other.
It wasn't until Luna met Eswig that her heart felt warmer.
It's just that she might have wasted the opportunity that the other party had obtained for her through unknown channels.
At this time, Luna turned back and looked around the entire square. Many people were as confused as she was.
Among the players, the one who mastered the ability to copy scrolls the fastest was Bantian.
Three hours, maybe it was a joke from the beginning.
It's just that the floating city is hanging their bait.
Thinking of this, Luna sighed even more.
Compared with other squares that are surrounded by walls, this square is like a tower. There are rows of rooms behind the second and third floors, but it is completely dark and cannot be seen through.
Even Luna suspected that the high-level NPCs in the floating city were observing them there.
"I can't stand it anymore. How can I finish it in three hours? If I were so arrogant, I wouldn't have graduated today." A male player who finally got in couldn't stand it on the spot and threw down his pen. And go.
Instead of just studying on their own after listening to the class, in this square where countless eyes are staring, everyone is competing with each other, and some people have even raised their pens and begun to prepare to try their hand.
These huge disparities directly crush people's souls.
Even the male player didn't understand why it was just a broken game that could drive him to the point of psychological collapse.
The Arthur native mages sitting on the other side, who had gone through several or even ten years of training, were focused on the "Reading Magic" spell that they had memorized by heart.
They are also under tremendous pressure, knowing that this is not just an "automatic shorthand quill", but also an opportunity to leap over the dragon's door.
Arthur has developed over thousands of years.
The presence of the gods allowed the entire Arthur to experience little turmoil without external interference.
But this is also the beginning of the gradual solidification of class.
Everyone knows that mages are powerful, which makes it even more difficult to become a mage.
These native mages do not have the unique conditions of those earth adventurers, who came to the floating city without any test.
Even many people from mage families defeated their brothers and sisters around them before they were able to study in the floating city.
The other family brothers and sisters can only make do with the Association Mage Academy in the nearest town.
No matter how much pressure they were under, they would not dare to vent it in this place.
Seeing someone collapse, Luna knew she shouldn't gloat, but she still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Many times, you don't need to be better than others, as long as you know that others are just as bad as you, it is easy to find comfort.
Seeing that the male player couldn't bear to leave, Luna was also preparing to pack her things and leave. She had already made up her mind to tell the boss when she got back that she really couldn't play the mage.
Suddenly, the lights in the entire square lit up.
Everyone was disturbed by this scene and couldn't help but look around.
Then, everyone's eyes were locked, as if they had become dull.
On the illusion projection in front, a sentence appeared directly:
[An adventurer from Earth has successfully awakened the "Scroll of Transcription" feat and successfully copied the "Reading Magic" scroll, which took 22 minutes. At the end of the competition, the Earth adventurer will receive an "automatic shorthand quill."]
"Look at the back!" an apprentice exclaimed.
Everyone turned around and looked at the originally dark and invisible second floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows of one room had become transparent, and a man in a robe could be seen faintly, pushing the door open and leaving.
"How can it be?"
This is already the question in everyone's heart.
The apprentices who are aware of the strict rules of the Floating City know that the person who can appear on the second floor must be someone who has not learned about copying scrolls, otherwise they would not compete with them.
But, what is the record for the fastest awakening of the "Transcription Scroll" in the Floating City
"But how can you copy zero-level spells so quickly?" A faint voice sounded.
At this time, the mage apprentices present couldn't help but gasp. What the other party copied was a scroll that took half an hour!
Not a spell book like theirs that only takes a few minutes.
"If you deduct the ten minutes of explanation at the beginning, wouldn't it mean that the other party only spent six minutes?"
At this time, the group of mage apprentices who knew the inside story were speechless.
how can that be possible
"Before the Cataclysm, when the rules of the Magic Network had not been changed, it did take six minutes to copy the zero-level spell scroll."
A pale mage apprentice said.
