But when Zhao Xu actually started to learn that knowledge, he found that he still thought a little simpler.
There are so many mage players in the entire game, and it’s not without reason that the record for the fastest server launch is to graduate within seven days.
It's like asking a junior high school student to directly study advanced mathematics by himself. It's not impossible, but it will be difficult.
The content that high school students learn is not much compared to that in college, but they still study it repeatedly for three years so that they can respond intuitively to questions in various forms during the college entrance examination.
The time for the college entrance examination is not enough for people to think well, so everyone advocates the question-based tactic, exchanging experience for compression of thinking time.
The same goes for magic.
Those models and various spell poses need to be integrated into his instincts.
Zhao Xu already knew about spell casting through these few days of study. In fact, most of the work was completed in the hour of determining the daily spell.
Really casting a spell is equivalent to the process of driving a car. The spell itself, that is, the vehicle has already been built and put there.
But for this process, everyone still needs to work hard.
A mage can't turn to a book to see how to recite that spell when the time comes. This will only make his opponent laugh out loud.
But Zhao Xu also had a headache just looking at the spells with various syllables.
However, Zhao Xu's progress has not completely slowed down. According to Antinoya's progress, this kind of thing will have to be consolidated for several rounds.
So he had roughly finished reading the two volumes of models and spells on the fifth day, and then he started to get into contact with zero-level spells.
"Our mage's spell books all use arcane text. They are a set of commonalities, but each mage needs to process it himself. Therefore, if you are given a spell book directly, you must perform 'spell identification' After passing the test, it can change into its true appearance for reading."
Antinoya's words mean that all spell books are encrypted, and you must have the key to translate the plain text.
Spell recognition is one of Arthur's character skills, and like reconnaissance and observation, it requires points and training.
Zhao Xu hasn't taken the later spell identification course yet, so it doesn't matter.
"You can read these spells now because this set of "Zero Level Magic Book" is specially set up. In other words, when the owner of the spell book allows you to read it, you don't need to perform 'spell identification'."
"And through the zero-level spell of 'Reading Magic', we mages can also read spell books that others have not deliberately set a trap for without any hindrance."
Zhao Xu nodded as he listened. In short, the spell "reading magic" is a universal key.
From this point of view, the arcane text is not specially encrypted by mages, but is encrypted to outsiders because of its own complexity, so mages specially developed a cracking spell.
That is to say, guard against outsiders but not against mages.
"But you have to remember that the spell book is the foundation of every mage. Except for the spell 'Reading Magic', which can be prepared without a spell book, for any other spell, the mage must have a spell book with the spell copied before he can prepare the spell. , thereby casting the spell."
Antinoya said this slowly and solemnly.
Zhao Xu had heard in his previous life that mages often copied spells and went bankrupt. He couldn't help but asked out of curiosity, "Teacher, is there any cost for copying spells?"
Antinoya handed a book to Zhao Xu.
After Zhao Xu received it, he opened it and took a look. Although they were all thick and heavy-covered, the inside of the book was completely blank. He estimated that there were about a hundred pages, because they were all parchment. , so it still looks quite thick.
He looked at Antinoya in confusion, not knowing what this meant.
"After you spend a whole day studying the spells, you can copy the spells into your own spell book. You need to copy several pages for each level of spells, and one page for zero-level spells."
Zhao Xu frowned when he heard this. It only took a day to study each spell. The problem is that only 11 ninth-level spells can be copied in 100 pages. It seems that these spell books are really impatient to copy, so that's not it. I really brought a lot of spell books with me.
"Moreover, the cost of copying each page is 100 GP. However, you new mage will take care of it. The cost of copying all your zero-level spells and three first-level spells will be paid by the association for you. You don't have to worry about this."
Zhao Xu had heard of this expensive price, but he didn't expect it to be so ridiculously expensive.
"Teacher, who is this money going to?"
"No, no one will charge this money. It's just a material loss fee. The spell book used for copying, the special quill pen, the ink with special losses, and the incense used to create the environment. On average, it will fill a 100-page book. The spell book costs about 10,000 GP, so we generally accept 100 GP per page."
"Without spending these, how can you make the spells you copy spiritual and available for casting?"
When Zhao Xu heard this sentence, he could only sigh that the mage was poor and the mage was miserable.
Special requirements No wonder no one in the previous life thought of printing spell books.
How can people with insufficient financial resources afford to spend so much money
"This is how you memorize spells or copy them from scrolls. If you directly copy someone else's spell book, because you can learn from it, the time and copying cost will be halved. It only costs 50 GP/page. This is also calculated. result."
When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately became energetic.
But he didn't need to guess, he could feel that there must be a smiling expression under Antinoya's cloak, waiting to see his joke.
To watch a web series by yourself, you have to sign up for a membership and pay.
This guy who is eating, if someone lends you a book, even if the time is cut in half, it also means that he will not be able to prepare the spells in the book during that time.
Copying your own spell book costs 50 GP per page. No one would be so bored unless they had to.
Antinoya didn't delay for too long and explained to him directly: "The current spell book borrowing fee is based on 50 GP per level. Some rare spells require extra money or even are not passed on to others."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded. The borrowing fee was exactly the same as the cost saved by copying the spell book.
In other words, a person relies on borrowing spell books to copy spells, and the cost is 100 GP for each level of spell.
"So now you have to decide your two paths."
"The first way is the book in my hand." As he said that, Antinoya took it out from nowhere. It was an iron-covered book with a silver edge and a lock. It was about 30CM*15CM in length and width and thickness. A 15cm book flew into his hand.
"This is the goddess's blessing book, a strange object. When it was made, it was spiritual, so you don't have to pay for the copying materials. It has 1,000 pages and costs 12,500 GP, but it is difficult to buy because the mage We all want it.”
Looking at the unremarkable cover of this book, Zhao Xu didn't expect that there was such a magical thing that could reduce the price of copying to nearly one-tenth.
As long as there is such a rare item, the average cost of copying materials per page can be reduced to 12.5 GP, which is very advantageous compared to the original 100 GP or the 50 GP for copying the spell book.
As for being difficult to buy, that is because he is an outsider. He has managed to get close to such a large organization, so he naturally has internal purchasing channels.
This is probably what everyone calls the privilege.
However, Zhao Xu was not too excited at this time because he noticed that Antinoya mentioned two roads.
"The other way is for you to activate the 'Wise Mind Spellcaster' specialty."
"From now on, all your spells are copied into your own heart, and you no longer need a spell book."
Zhao Xu's heart couldn't help but beat at this moment. He had begun his journey as a mage. The powerful expertise of this organization finally beckoned to him.
