Chapter 68 Making a Spell Scroll

Chapter 68 Making a Spell Scroll

Originally, Roning wanted to calculate the remuneration himself, but after listening to the reports from Wilson, Chahar and others, he changed his mind and left it to Chahar.

This male servant who had followed from Wushan Fort knew the most about everyone's situation, so he was the perfect person to be in charge of this matter.

For him, all he has to do tomorrow is take the money and distribute it.

But when thinking about tomorrow, Roning still felt a little overwhelmed - there were too many things to do.

Pay wages, meet with the village chief and team leader, inspect the construction of squat toilets, verify the effectiveness of the curved plough, and then go to William the carpenter to see the progress of the production of iron and wood shields.

Thinking about the promotion of ridge tillage and fertilizer production, Luo Ning wanted to fall asleep so that he could forget all these worries.

But he couldn't do it. The Wind Blade spell scroll hadn't been drawn yet. How could he sleep? How could he sleep?

So, after sending Wilson and Chahar away, Roning asked Bella to pour him a cup of tea. After calming down, he took out the Warcraft leather and spell ink.

Cut the Warcraft leather into five pieces, take out one of them, lay it flat on the table, and press the four corners.

Ronin took out the quill he got from Pedro.

This feather pen is the same as the one given by Hook, made from feathers of the Warcraft swallow bird, and is very suitable for making spell scrolls.

He first carefully absorbed all of the magic ink in a bottle into the pen tube of the feather pen, then concentrated his mind, slowly adjusted his breathing, and prepared to put pen to paper.

Regarding how to make spell scrolls, Roning has learned a lot from the book "Spell Scroll Making from Beginner to Expertise" given by Hook.

"First, we need to plan the distribution area of ​​the spell pattern on the Warcraft leather. If it is too large, the Warcraft leather will not be able to accommodate it. If it is too small, it will not meet the requirements of a scroll."

The Warcraft leather was cut into five pieces, which were suitable for drawing the second-level scroll, so Ronin didn't need to worry.

What he had to do now was to estimate the location of each spell node of the Wind Blade spell pattern on the leather and then draw it out with a feather pen.

Inhaling and exhaling slowly, Roning raised his hand, and the feather pen began to leave marks on the leather.

At this moment, Ronin's mental power, magic power, and the magic ink at the tip of the feather pen worked together to emit a faint halo that was magical.

"The spell patterns of Wind Blade Technique are all composed of horizontal and vertical folds, with eight spell nodes."

Roning recalled the spell patterns of the Wind Blade Technique in his mind, and at the same time, he began to paint on the leather with his pen as if inspired by God.

This was his first time making a spell scroll, and it felt a little magical.

"The consumption of mental energy and mana is much greater than simply casting Wind Blade magic."

"Also, when drawing, the interaction between the feather pen, spell ink, mana, and mental strength will make the magician feel different from when simply casting a spell, and it is easy to produce some ripples."

"And the precise depiction of the spell patterns..."

To put it simply, this is like a beginner imitating the original work of Wang Xizhi. Although there are only a few strokes, such as horizontal, vertical, left, right, and right strokes, he can still copy them, but the actual effect of the writing depends on his personal level.

During his return journey, in addition to studying the book, Luo Ning also practised controlling his pen strokes, striving to make the strokes horizontal and vertical.

But practising is one thing, and doing it is another.

Especially due to the new touch brought by the combined effect of multiple magical media, the tip of his pen would feel frustrated if he was not careful.

With just such a small negligence, the magic ink at the tip of the pen corroded the leather-like an ignited flame, leaving and spreading a black spot the size of a thumbnail.

It's useless.

"No wonder Pedro said that making spell scrolls requires a very high level of output stability from the magician. This time, I personally tested it, and it turned out to be true."

A little distraction and mistake can lead to the failure of a production.

Although he didn't want to waste the leather, Roning had no other choice. The damaged leather could not be used to make spell scrolls. He could only take out a new piece of leather and continue his second practice.

This time, Roning was more cautious, concentrating all his attention from one node of the spell pattern to the next node and then to the next node.

Even breathing, even writing speed, even output of mental power and mana, even lines...

Finally, three minutes later, as the last node of the Wind Blade Technique was completed, Roning quickly raised his pen.

He successfully completed the creation of his first spell scroll and could finally breathe loudly!

At the same time, the magic patterns on the leather in front of him also changed.

The originally dark red magic ink now emitted a magical blue light. The flow of air in the air above the magic lines suddenly changed. Along with the sound of whistling wind, the wind elements between heaven and earth were absorbed by the magic lines on the leather. These lines on the leather stretched out thin branches in all directions like old tree roots that had sprouted.

In the blink of an eye, where is the spell pattern of the Wind Blade Technique?

Roning looked at the scroll in front of him with doubt and amazement. If the spell patterns he had drawn were of a slim girl, then the patterns on the spell scroll in front of him were like a fat woman who had gained a hundred pounds and was baring her fangs and claws.

"This is the change caused by absorbing the wind element."

Roning also noticed that the moment the drawing was completed, his mental strength and magic power poured into the magic patterns on the leather like a flood.

In other words, when the spell scroll is made, it will not only absorb the magical elements between heaven and earth but also absorb a part of the magician's mental power and magic power, which is more than twice the consumption of normal spell casting.

But no matter what, Roning succeeded in making the spell scroll for the second time, which is something to be celebrated.

He rolled up the leather in front of him and tied it with a thin linen rope.

Although it looks simple and not as beautifully packaged as those sold outside, this is a genuine Wind Blade spell scroll with the same effect.

The packaging matter will be handed over to the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce.

Roning sensed the state of his own mental and magical powers. Although they could still support him in making the second spell scroll, considering that he needed to reserve some energy to learn the fireball spell, Roning put away his quill.

During this period, he focused his main energy on practising the Wind Blade Technique. Although he had mastered the Fireball Technique and could release it two out of three times, he still lacked many skills to achieve 100% success.

He came to the window and began to learn the fireball technique facing the night sky outside.

Soon, the servants in the castle saw an interesting phenomenon—a ball of fire would occasionally burst out from the window of the lord's room.

If the lord's figure could not be vaguely seen behind the flames, the guards standing on guard on the tower would definitely think that the lord was in danger and would definitely send out a signal for support.

Ronin was quite at ease, but there was no sound from Elrond's side.

The usually energetic light magician now seemed to be hollowed out. He dragged his exhausted body slowly to the bed and lay down.

Just now, he tried twice to make a spell scroll for healing, but unexpectedly, both attempts failed.

Not only that, the two failures left him with no more mana to make a third one.

Elrond rubbed his brow and sighed, "I wasted eighteen gold coins in one go, and not even one spell scroll was successfully made. How am I going to explain this to the adults tomorrow?"

The second time, he was about to succeed, but unexpectedly, his wrist stiffened at the final node of the spell, causing him to fail. It was really difficult for him.

"No, I can't sleep now. I have to meditate and refine my magic power. I'll get up early tomorrow and try again!"
