If one scroll earns 10 gold coins (material cost only), theoretically, for every 20 scrolls he makes, he can earn up to about 200 gold coins.
This seems good, but the problem is that it takes almost half an hour to make a magic scroll. If you are skilled, it may be faster.
But even so, it was impossible for Xia Duo to spend so much time on scroll making. There must be trade-offs here, and we can also find ways to make technological breakthroughs.
At present, all Xia Duo can think of is to use a seal-like method to draw the flat graphics on the scroll. However, this does not involve personal interests, and he does not dare to easily find someone to do it.
There was nothing wrong with the printing scroll itself, but he had never heard of printing or anything like that until now. Whether it was because the technology was not up to par or someone was deliberately keeping it secret, Xia Duo had no way of knowing.
But it’s still right to be cautious. And even if there is a printed scroll, it is not a finished magic scroll yet. It still needs a spellcaster to connect it to the magic network. At this time, Shaduo has no clue for the time being.
Thinking about it this way, in fact, printing scrolls does not bring much improvement to the mage. At most, it saves a little time.
A mage usually has to practice spellcasting and experiment with spells. There are not many spells available for making scrolls. Drawing graphics by yourself is just a good way to relax.
If the printed scroll can directly obtain the finished product, then this technology can be called epoch-making. By then, if
"Spell machine guns" and the like can probably be produced. Xia Duo doesn't need to think that far yet. The arrangement he has made for himself is to make scrolls after dinner, and he can do as much as he can before going to bed.
Just like saving money, saving scrolls also takes time. Even if there is a way to get rich overnight, he is not prepared to use it. When he has no strength, he still has to keep a low profile.
...Second, Xia Duo woke up from his deep sleep and came to the study. The first thing he saw was the two magic scrolls spread out on the desk. He immediately felt the satisfaction of stocking up on food for the winter. But when he saw When he saw a few gray paper balls in the corner, his inner satisfaction was immediately compromised. They were the products he failed to make yesterday.
The parchment has been completely penetrated by gray ink and is in a mess. If it were before, these
"Waste paper" still has some use value. After all, the off-white ink is really off-white and can still be written normally.
But now Xia Duo is not a person who has to be careful about buying a few pieces of parchment. Instead of using these
"Waste paper" affects your mood, why not use a better mood to earn more money to buy new paper! Today's task is still to copy "Morrowind Poems" and preview "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", but as soon as he sat at the desk, before he could copy a full line of words, the magic alarm went off!
Now the magic alarm on Xia Duo's door has been replaced by one he personally placed. Whenever he leaves or sleeps, he will place a [magic alarm] on the door.
Applying it once can last about 10 hours, which is enough for him to leave to do errands or go to sleep. It happens to be early in the morning, and I don't know who is disturbing him!
With some dissatisfaction, Xia Duo opened the door for the visitor. When he saw Kaili outside the door, Xia Duo couldn't help but frown, and his tone was a little impatient: "It's you! Find me. What's the matter?" He and Kaili had never been on good terms. On the way back to the Mage Tower before the celebration, Kaili kept nagging him. It's strange that he looked good.
"Xia Duo, I have business with you." Kaili glanced inside, but Xia Duo just blocked the door and had no intention of letting him in.
Seeing this situation, Kaili also felt a little embarrassed. Now almost everyone in the Mage Tower knew that Niya was the daughter of the lord, the future owner of the territory, and the owner of the Mage Tower.
And Xia Duo and Ganal were the only two students of Niya. Kaili had some thoughts. Of course, he did have something serious to do. Seeing that Xia Duo was already a little impatient, he directly expressed his intention: " Mrs. Patty invites you to her villa." As he spoke, Kaili showed an ambiguous smile. Mrs. Patty was young, beautiful, and widowed at home, but she invited Sha Duo alone. He felt that the two must have hooked up.
"Mrs. Patty? Invite me?" Sha Duo was a little confused, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter. Kaili probably didn't have the guts to tease him.
Is there something important? Or do you want to pay him this month’s salary? Xia Duo is now Parthiv Rao's personal mage consultant, with a monthly salary of 200 gold coins. Of course, this is similar to sponsorship. He does not actually perform any consultant duties, but only names himself.
"Is there anything wrong with her?" Sha Duo asked.
"I don't know. I just received a designated task from the task management office to invite you specifically."
"Specified mission?"
"Yes!" Perhaps thinking that Xia Duo didn't believe it, Kaili quickly explained,
"It's like this - I am now Parthivrao's personal mage consultant, and we have agreed to practice in this way." Sha Duo was a little confused. It should be the last mission to investigate the cause of death. Kaili also went there, and for some reason he didn't know what happened next. Turned into a mage advisor by Mrs. Patty.
But Mrs. Patty did not agree with Sha Duo on any designated task. She didn’t know what was going on this time, but it was just a matter of taking people’s money and not helping others to eliminate disasters. It was always okay to meet once.
"I know, I'll go see her."
"Then Xia Duo -" Before Kaili could finish his words, Xia Duo had already closed the door. Kaili's expression changed several times, and finally he just sighed and left.
... After returning to the house, Xia Duo continued his work of copying books and did not go to see Mrs. Patty immediately. He is now a student of the future lord and a quasi-level 3 mage, so he should be somewhat reserved.
But having said that, Xia Duo still speeded up his copying speed slightly, and with the fact that he had copied nearly half of the content yesterday, he was somewhat proficient in elven writing.
There are no light restrictions in the official mage's residence. As long as the mage himself does not control it, it will always be on, so the passage of time becomes silent.
When Sha Duo finished transcribing and asked Ta Ling, he realized that it was already evening. Xia Duo hurriedly packed up his things and went to the library to return books before leaving the mage tower and heading to the villa area.
... Once again when he came to the villa area, Xia Duo did not just admire it, but also had a somewhat sophisticated intention. His territory was also by the Wolfburg River.
And he is also planning to build a villa along the river under the mage tower. As long as the mage tower is built, he can collect money on his own, including management fees, cleaning fees, and annual fees.
The villa area in Savileland is indeed very good, but most of them are imitations, and only ten of them can be considered high-quality.
As long as Xia Duo builds an earth-style villa, he may attract a group of people just for the sake of curiosity. However, if he wants to build a villa, he can't just rely on his imagination. He also needs craftsmen.
Can turn his imagination into reality. Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt that it was really the right time to come to Mrs. Patty's house. Maybe he could ask her where she found the construction craftsmen.
"Master Xia Duo, Master Xia Duo!" From a distance, a man who looked like a housekeeper came up to him. It hadn't been long since the last time Xia Duo came here, so he still had some impression of this person. He was from Mrs. Patty's family. housekeeper.
Xia Duo nodded lightly and kept walking. When he arrived at the gate of the manor, two guards quickly bowed their heads and saluted. Xia Duo ignored the two guards and walked straight towards the villa inside.
Mrs. Patty was waiting for him at the door.
