Chapter 223: New spells and new inventions (Ⅰ)

Edward walked up to Joan, pulled up his wrist, and looked at the bruise on his palm.
"I have a decent start. It's okay to go back and apply a cold compress."
"Sword practice, you should insist on it. After all, we are not full-time swordsmen. It is enough to spend an hour every day practicing sword."
After talking, Edward carried the saber and turned to leave the training ground.
Joan quickly picked up the saber and followed him out of the field.
"Edward, thank you today."
"There is no need to be polite among classmates. Except on weekends, I will come to the swordsmanship every afternoon at this time. If you are free, you are welcome to come and practice with me at any time."
Joan nodded gratefully, and his impression of Edward Gates was much better. He decided to come to the swordsmanship hall to ask him for advice.
In exchange for his clothes, Joan said goodbye to Edward.
After leaving the swordsmanship hall, he first took a shower in the public bath of the academy, washed away all sweat, and felt full of lightness.
Before dinner, he walked into the library and decided to copy some new spells as the focus of the next stage of study.
The library’s arcane scrolls are open to all Austrian majors, but with Joan’s current magi level, they are only authorized to copy 1 ring of spells.
He first checked the list of 1 ring of spell scrolls, there are no less than 100 in total, a small part of which he has learned, and many spells have very narrow uses, which are only effective for a particular species or special environment.
Joan is more willing to prioritize spells with a wider range of applications. After some careful selection, four more cost-effective 1st-spell scrolls were selected, namely "Charming Humans", "Protection Faction", "Easy Conjuration" and "Activating Rope".
After paying four hundred gold Duga for borrowing money to the librarian, Joanne got four scrolls, found the corresponding empty table in the reading hall, sat down, laid out stationery and spell books, and concentrated on copying.
The first spell "Charming Humans" is easy to be misled if you only look at the name.
In fact, this spell can not only confuse humans who are not strong enough in willpower, but also effective for "sub-humans" such as elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, goblins, orcs, and even lizardmen.
All the above-mentioned ethnic groups add up to occupy at least half of the entire population of the Valais world.
From this perspective, "Charming Human" has a wide range of applications.
"Protection camp" is actually a general term for a group of spells, which can be subdivided into "protection against evil", "protection against goodness", "protection against chaos" and "protection against law".
The function of this type of spell is quite complicated.
First, you can increase your defense and resistance against the opposite camp at the same time,
In addition, there is a very important function, which is to resist the evil spells that control human hearts or possess possessions like "Charming Humans".
Finally, "protection camp" spells also prevent the summoning creatures of the opposing camp from approaching the subject.
The third one-ring spell Joon transcribed is the
transformation technique
belonging to the school of illusion.
This spell functions as its name suggests, temporarily changing the appearance of the caster, including appearance, height, fatness, age, clothing, and weapons.
In situations where you do not want to reveal your true identity, "Yi Rong Shu" is the best choice.
Joan's last copy of the spell is a 1st-level spell "Activity Rope" belonging to the Change School.
This spell can temporarily energize a rope, follow the caster's intentions, meander and wriggle in a specified direction, trip or bind a specified target.
Making an inanimate object viable temporarily or forever is an important issue of the Transfiguration School, which has produced many related spells.
For example, Master Rolls' "Activation of Secondary Items" used to create "Activated Scarecrow" is a typical example.
Among all activation spells, "Activity Rope" is the lowest level and the common foundation of all other higher-level activation spells.
If you want to systematically learn a certain kind of spells from a certain university, you must follow the rules of gradual, easy and difficult.
Joan first learned to "activate the rope", when he learns the same high-level spells in the future-such as the 2 ring "secondary item activation" that he has copied in the spell book, it will be much easier, and this is his priority. The main reason for learning this spell.
It took Joan three hours to transcribe four 1-spell scrolls into his spellbook. Afterwards, she checked her manuscripts against the scrolls and confirmed that there were no errors in the graphics, symbols, and grammar. Then she re-rolled the scrolls and returned them. To the librarian.
After the administrator checked the reels, they signed and filed them, and Joan took back the student ID that served as a deposit.
After leaving the library, Joan went directly to the cafeteria and ordered a noodle for dinner.
The noodles served with cheese powder and tomato and basil sauce are mellow and inexpensive, and can fill the stomach. It is a fast food he often orders in the school cafeteria.
Picking up the fork and skillfully rolling up the noodles, dipping the sauce, stuffing it into the mouth, the taste is as endless as ever, but Joan's mood is not as bright as in the morning.
He had agreed with Thomas to exchange spells in order to save the cost of transcription, but he found that the spells Thomas had copied from himself last time had not been fully mastered, and there was no need to go to the library to copy new spells, so he was not convenient to mention to Thomas. And this matter, otherwise, wouldn't it seem that he deliberately took advantage of the other side?
It's better to save money by copying the scrolls yourself.
The four newly transcribed spells made him find the next stage of learning, but he also paid a high price for it.
For him, 400 gold Duga is not a small sum.
Joan couldn't help feeling anxious when thinking about her wallet that had shrunk drastically and the heavy debt she was carrying.
"This month has been too comfortable. It's always like this and it's not enough. It's time to cheer up and think about the ways to make money."
Joan fiddled with the fork and secretly made up his mind.
After a quick meal, he returned to his small attic, sat at his desk, opened the storage bag, took out a book from it, and counted his assets and liabilities.
The two most recent incomes are the 500 gold Duga earned by helping Martha to eliminate the "ground worm" in the garden, and the 300 Dujia contribution fee for providing serial materials to the newspaper.
The income is indeed rich and the expenditure is considerable.
Not counting the daily piecemeal expenses, Joan has recently made two large expenses, including the 400 gold Durga spent on copying the spell scroll just now, and the 1 ounce magic crystal he bought at the Yangbo firm last weekend-Havel Mr. wiped off his odds and ends, and only received 600 Jin Duga.
Income minus expenses, not counting pocket money, Joanne now has only a total of 500 gold Durga deposits, which can be cashed at any time with the checks issued by Yangbo.
For a poor student from the countryside, 500 gold Durga’s deposits are actually not small, but Joan still has two debts.
The student loan plus the loan owed to Yangbo Commercial Bank from the purchase of the
Vital Living Ring
totaled up to 3,500 gold Durga.
The heavy debt was like an invisible mountain, pressed against his back, making him deeply anxious.
