Chapter 51 Transcribing

After the old mage left, Shaoke and the female mage entered the place where the magic was stored. After pushing open the door, it was dark inside. Shaoke waited at the door. After his vision adapted to the darkness inside, he found that there was a small iron rack at the door with more than a dozen candles hanging on it. Each of them was lit with flint and then slowly walked inside.

"Why don't there be a window here? Is this a place to place magic knowledge?" The female mage looked at the surrounding situation with the candlelight and asked her companions in confusion.

Shaoko found several wall lamps on the wall, and went over and lit them one by one, then carefully looked at the situation inside the house again and said, "Well! There doesn't matter if there is no window, this is definitely a place for magic. Francis, go there and light the candle on the wall, I'll go here to light it."

With more and more lit candles, the two mages finally lit all the candles in the stone house. Then the female mage breathed a sigh of relief and twisted her neck slightly and said, "It's finally good. It's much brighter. How long hasn't anyone been here? Look, the table is full of dust, um! Why are these boxes containing the copied materials empty?"

Shaoke closed the somewhat worn wooden door, went to the writing table where the female mage was, and looked at it, "Look! There is fine sand in this box! How come it is all empty?" As he said that, he couldn't help laughing.

The female mage glared at Shaoke, carefully opened the drawer, took out a piece of black cotton cloth from it, and carefully wiped the table, because they would copy the spells on it later!

While the female mage was cleaning, Shao Ke held the lampstand and walked around the bookshelf in the house. He found that there were only zero-level spells to third-level spells here. No matter how advanced the spells were, they were gone. I don’t know if they were placed elsewhere or had not been stored here at all. Fortunately, the cleaning array on the bookshelf was always running normally, so they would not wipe the names on the spells one by one.

After Shaoke looked around, he found that the female mage was touching something around the table. Finally, she touched a candlestick on the wall and pulled it out hard. A creaking sound suddenly came from the room. Shaoke only felt that the stuffy air just now flowed.

After doing all this, the female mage turned her head and smiled at Shaoke who was staring at her and said, "What? You don't know that there are air circulation channels in places like this without windows? Haha! Usually this channel is closed, and the open mechanism is around the writing table. If you look carefully, it is still easy to find, but we need to close it again when we leave."

Shaoko shook his head and said, "Okay, Francis, let's find a spell to copy! It's almost black now. If the coachman waited for us outside for too long, we would probably have to pay him another silver coin."

The female mage put her hand on a bookshelf next to her, let the cleaning spell drive away the dust from her hands, and looked at it with satisfaction, "Don't worry! When did we feel cold here? That means it's already dark, well...! Snow Night Mage, are you copying the second-level spell?"

While searching for the spells he needed on the bookshelf, Shaoke replied, "Yes, don't you do this?" After that, he held up the lampstand and moved to the other side of the bookshelf.

"No, Master Xueye, I think you may not be able to copy a second-level spell in such a short time. I think you should copy a few first-level spells!" The female mage also held up the lampstand and looked for the spells she wanted.

"Why? Francis." Shaoko said in confusion. This was the scroll of the spell he had found the spell he needed. He carefully took down the sheepskin roll wrapped in black silk and took it to the writing table to prepare for transcription.

"Second-level spells are not as easy to transcribe as first-level spells. Interpreting them requires too much mental power and magic. And when transcribing them, it takes a lot of energy to transcribe!" The female mage also found the spell information she needed, and carried three and four animal skin scrolls in her arms and turned back.

"Are you really planning to copy this? Don't you plan to go back tonight? It will be very cold here. It doesn't matter these papers, but your body will not be able to stand it." The female mage saw that the other party was carrying a scroll about half thicker than her, and immediately knew that the other party was holding a second-level spell.

Shaoke carefully looked at the beautiful female mage who looked strange under the candlelight, "I plan to write it down in ordinary writing after interpreting this spell, and then slowly complete it in formal transcription."

The female mage glanced helplessly and stopped the other party from opening the scroll and said, "Mage Xueye, I think you listen to my explanation first before deciding whether to open the scroll." Seeing Shaoko nodding in agreement, the female mage continued: "There is a big difference between the second-level spells and those first-level spells. When these second-level spells copy their structures, they will add some special magic or mental fluctuations. However, these fluctuations are different from those spell structures that are expressed in lines, and they need to be felt slowly.

, and these fluctuations will only appear for a short time every time you interpret it, and then will never appear again. Are you ready now? If you do not remember that special fluctuation during this interpretation, you still need to interpret the structure again, which will delay a lot of time. Generally, it will take more than ten days to successfully copy a second-level spell." After the female mage finished speaking, she let go of Shaoke's hand, not intending to take any action, but just stared at the other party to see what choice he would have.

Shaoko frowned. He never knew that when transcribing second-order spells, it would be different from the previous method of transcribing. "Francis, I remember that the tutors had never said these things at all, and they had not mentioned them in the information. How did you know?"

After opening a spell scroll she chose, the female mage began to take out the items she needed from her skin and said, "It was told by a disciple of a noble family who went there to practice on the border. He told me that he asked me to pay attention to this problem. No one would tell the newly promoted mages. If you don't know, you will consume more money and time in copying the second-level spells. However, over time, every mage will feel this fluctuation. At this time, they need to pay some price to ask the seniors how to solve this situation."

After hearing the other party's explanation, Shaoke smiled helplessly: "So that's it. You are busy first. I plan to feel this special fluctuation. If it doesn't work, I won't copy it first. When I return to the imperial capital, I will talk."

The female mage nodded, and stopped paying attention to Shaoke. She began to take out her casting record and slowly copy it.

After a little distance from the female mage, Shaoke untied the ribbon on the scroll and slowly spread the scroll on the table. The scroll was very long, about one meter, and the surrounding blank space was inlaid with some special crystalline characters and patterns. It is estimated that it is an auxiliary technique to keep the scroll preserved for a long time. The scroll is written in sequence from top to bottom: the name of the spell, the founder, which language is the most powerful, the meditation method required to release the spell, the handprints required to form, the complete structure of the spell, and the bottom is to write some known spell casting techniques, but Shaoke's spell does not have any special skills now.

After using the technique of interpreting spells, Shaoke began to slowly read the second-level spell "Scare Ray" he chose. This spell is an advanced spell of the first-level spell "Scare Ray". It is one of the few advanced spells. It is still the most penetrating spell attack among the second-level spells, and the range is more than 200 meters. It can penetrate a second-level warrior who condenses the fighting energy of the whole body for protection. This can be said to be one of the powerful spells for the second-level mages to deal with warriors of the same level. However, this spell is the most complex structure and the longest casting time among the second-level spells, so many mages gave up this spell, but Shaoke wanted to try it. After using the "Scare Rays" several times, he felt that the effect was very good when facing the enemy alone, so he was very optimistic about its advanced spells.

Shaoke slowly interpreted it. After interpreting a paragraph, he stopped to copy his casting record. He was not able to interpret it and copy it while interpreting it. Because after first interpreting the second-level spell, Shaoke felt that his mental power and magic began to drop significantly. Every time he read a word, he would consume three times the mental power and magic power of one word of the first-level spell. Especially the magic power, I don’t know that it was written by the mage. The magic power he injected into the text has reached the limit that the entire paper can withstand, but Shaoke’s magic power is the weakest. In order to avoid the lack of magic power for copying after interpretation, it was changed to interpreting one paragraph and copying one paragraph. Fortunately, when he copied it, he injected more mental power into the text, so the magic power was consumed relatively less.

The rustling sound of writing seemed very clear in the room where there were only two people. The mages carefully copied it to avoid staining on the paper and wasting the entire paper.

When Shaoke copied the structure of the spell, he stopped writing and took a break for a while, and then gathered his energy to start the interpretation of the entire spell structure. The complex lines made Shaoke unable to find the starting point for a while, and when he felt that his magic power was about to be consumed, he had to stop and end the transcription.

Seeing this, the female mage smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did it fail?"
