500 pages, which can be copied into 500 first-level spells, 250 second-level spells, 166 third-level spells, and 125 fourth-level spells.
Basically, the vast majority of ordinary mages cannot finish copying the 500 pages of "Olin Magic Crystal" with their lifetime efforts.
Not to mention that the "Olin Magic Crystal" in Zhao Xu's hand only weighed less than half a kilogram, about two ordinary apples, and five ordinary 100-page spell books weighed 15 kilograms.
If there is no space item like a dimensional bag, then it would be cumbersome for the average mage to carry it on his back, not to mention actually preparing the spell book, which would have to be flipped through in various ways.
How can it be so convenient to just hold an Olin Magic Crystal!
Moreover, there is a deeper interest relationship involved here!
Copying spells will cause the spell book to lose spells, so you must always pray to the goddess and donate 50 gold coins per page, which is similar to "buying insurance."
Otherwise, the mark on the spell will be polished away, and re-copying it will cost 100 gold coins per page.
This is also the reason that hinders the "flow of spells" in the entire magic system, and even suppresses the advancement of the entire magic civilization.
If borrowing and copying spells does not eliminate the magic traces of the original spell runes, then borrowing spell books is essentially a "costless" thing.
Although ordinary mages may not always lend spell books to others for copying because of the preparation of spells.
However, you can make a backup "spell book". After spending a lot of time, if the borrowing fee is still 50 gold coins per page, you will get your money back after borrowing it twice.
A "spell book" is equivalent to "a street that can be rented" once and for all.
Zhao Xu also saw through everyone's thoughts and said with a smile, "The production cost of the Olin Law Crystal is to advance the transcription fee, so after the 500 pages are copied, if they are erased and become blank due to borrowing, you will still have to pay 100 gold coins per page. The cost of copying is to sprinkle silver powder for engraving. So don’t think about endless arbitrage with an Orin crystal."
Even so, the light in everyone's eyes did not fade away at all.
In any case, the price of an Orin crystal of 6,250 gold coins, compared to the original copying price of 50,000 gold coins, is equivalent to compressing a page of 100 gold coins to 12.5 gold coins per page. The mages can laugh out loud even in their sleep.
The market will automatically smooth out the room for arbitrage, so an Olin crystal that costs 3,125 gold coins and is purchased for 6,250 gold coins by the system in the Mage Association will sell for nearly 50,000 gold coins outside.
"The goddess's blessing book still has 1,000 pages. The system price is 12,500 gold coins per page, so the Olin Magic Crystal is essentially half a blessing book." Zhao Xu explained.
"However, without the blessing of the goddess, the blessing book cannot take effect." The female mage Qingli shook her head and said, "So relying on the expertise of 'making strange objects' and the formula of the 'goddess blessing book', it is also impossible Achieve this.”
"Yes, this is the advantage of the Olin Magic Crystal that does not need to be blessed by the goddess." At this time, Nadiluya smiled bitterly and shook her head, "But now it seems that the attempt is in vain."
After Lone Star on the opposite side pointed this out, all illusions seemed to be shattered.
"I didn't expect it to end like this." Feixu, the female mage, said in disbelief and frustration. "It's really a generous move to use two Orin magic crystals embedded in ordinary skeleton cannon fodder."
"Maybe these skeletons escaped from a certain lich's lair. There's nothing wrong with stepping on them at that time." Zhao Xu joked.
The actual premium of these two "Olin Magic Crystals" is close to 100,000 gold coins. Most people will definitely be ecstatic when they encounter them. They will exclaim that they have received a windfall from heaven and embark on the road to sudden wealth.
But for the team of "Natiluya" who has formed a chamber of commerce, 100,000 gold coins have become their lifeblood. It is naturally not worth it.
"I don't blame you for misunderstanding."
After saying that, Zhao Xu continued to take out a "Dragon Crystal" with a similar appearance from his pocket, with a faint dark red vortex still shining on it.
"This dragon crystal is an ordinary magic crystal. It is the prototype of the Olin magic crystal."
However, compared to the Olin Magic Crystal, this Magic Crystal can only transcribe 20 pages, and it also requires the use of silver powder worth 100 gold coins per page when transcribing.
"No, have we seen this kind of magic crystal in those skeletons?"
Suddenly, Natyluya opened her mouth and said, with an unbelievable look in her eyes.
"What about the quantity?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but asked curiously.
"a lot of."
At this time, Natilya spoke, her eyes also shimmering.
"Fortunately, the first piece we identified was the 'Olin Magic Crystal'. If we hadn't identified the ordinary 'Magic Crystal' first, we would have missed these Olin Magic Crystals."
"Because after identification of these magic magic crystals, they have very ordinary magic book effects and have no use value at all, so we don't pay special attention to them and think that these Orin magic crystals are special products of these magic magic crystals."
In short, mithril is a special refinement found in silver mines.
"Just looking at it this way, is there really a vein of 'magic crystal'? Or are these 'magic crystals' also processed products?"
Zhao Xu lowered his head silently, unable to bear the shock in his heart.
Spell magic crystal is essentially "Arthur Dragon Crystal", which is a hard and translucent stone similar to precious gems.
Arthur has also refined a lot of "dragon crystals" on the surface, but they are generally used as additive materials for magic storage items, usually in the form of "powder".
Therefore, it is understandable that the mage on the opposite side did not recognize the magic crystal. In fact, the component of this thing is a kind of magic material.
But the key to the problem is that most of the "dragon crystals" discovered by Arthur are only at finger level, and their uses are just to be ground into powder, or used as alternative gemstones to be embedded into jewelry.
Legend has it that wearing this kind of jewelry can also bring good luck.
And only a dragon crystal as big as a fist can be used as a "magic crystal" to record spells? But even so, 20 pages are not as good as a blank spell book that costs 3 gold coins but can record 100 pages.
The key to making a Goddess Blessing Book is that it lacks the blessing given by the Goddess.
Zhao Xu couldn't shamelessly do this kind of blessing act that consumed his divine power. He just wanted to guarantee that his blessing book would be successful.
But others cannot reproduce it.
However, magic crystals can be made into "Olin magic crystals" through craft formulas.
That is, as long as he finds this "mine vein", perhaps, the course of Arthur's magic will change.
