Chapter 610: [Printing], Silver Leaf

The largest and most stable output of Netheril's ordinary wizards is the magic scroll. Linking the magic net to the scroll is equivalent to casting this spell again, of course, there are some differences in reality.
Coupled with drawing arcane geometric figures on the scroll, it also takes a lot of time.
Therefore, no matter which mage is, it is basically impossible to store all idle spellcasting abilities into magic scrolls.
If you have a printing press, you only need to use your idle spellcasting ability to link the magic net to the pre-prepared quasi magic scroll before going to bed.
The convenience is comparable to the 5-level spell [Making Arcane Crystal], which greatly improves the utilization rate of the wizard's own spell casting ability.
...
The arcane geometry on the magic scroll is required to be fine and uniform. If you want to print the magic scroll, ordinary engraving is not a good choice.
There is no problem with the carved version. No matter how fine it is, it can be made through the alchemy circle, but Chateau has no idea about modern printing on the earth. He has tried several printing methods himself, and he has produced various quasi magic scrolls. All kinds of problems.
Either the ink is uneven, or there is excess ink, and the yield rate is not high.
It doesn't matter if it is a low-end scroll. Anyway, the ink is cheap, but if it is a medium or high-end scroll, it is difficult to accept. If you count the failure rate when linking the magic net, there is a high probability of losing money.
Perhaps someone in Netheril could improve the process of ordinary engraving and print out qualified quasi-magic scrolls in batches, but Xia Duo alone could not think of a way in a short time.
And before him, there is a better way, which makes him less motivated to improve the craft.
[Transcription] This 1-level spell brought back from [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire] is almost born for printing, and it has a specific evolution direction. It is directly called [Printing] in the Arcane Empire. Surgery].
Can print ordinary ink traces or magic traces in batches.
The Arcane Empire did have a printing press. Although Chardonnay hadn't seen the real thing, he had read books about printing and knew something about printing presses.
Unlike mechanical creations that achieve specific functions through complex structures, magic items and spells are the core. As long as you know the specific spells, you can easily design corresponding magic items.
Perhaps the printing machine designed by Xia Duo is different from the original version of Arcane Empire, but the core functions are the same, both to ensure the stable operation of the core spell of [Printing].
Returning from the projection plane of the Arcane Empire, Chateau has been busy advancing, and after watching the arcane competition, he was busy studying the spell book. Although the printing press was on his plan list, it ranked very low. .
Knowing that he might face the drow invasion and the unknown crisis brought about by the scarlet flashing star, he had already gotten out the printing press and had to hoard magic scrolls desperately.
Thinking about it now, I really regret it, but it's not too late. After all, Zall hasn't really come to the door yet, and this is actually a routine preparation.
...
While Chateau was busy designing the printing press, far east of Conifer, a small town on the northwest border of Comanso, the Silver Leaf family was busy packing up their belongings and preparing to flee.
There was a panic in the entire family settlement, but at this critical juncture, the family elder O'Brien blocked the patriarch Orips' room.
Seeing his son's calm face, O'Brien's anger became even greater. If it weren't for fear of being discovered by other people, he would almost roar, "I'm going to the human domain for such a big thing, why don't I discuss it in advance? ?!"
"Father, I have discussed this matter with my two uncles."
"Did you discuss it?!" O'Brien's eyes widened, and his long ears trembled with extreme anger, and his anger even made the surrounding magic net faintly moved.
The patriarch Orips finally couldn't help frowning, and his tone became a little heavier, "Father, do you want to do it with me? In front of other family members? It's all this old, can you be a little mature? !"
"I'm immature?" The most annoying thing about O'Brien was that his son said these words, so he even forgot the original purpose of coming to find his son, so he stared at this point and wanted Orips to explain it clearly.
Orips took a deep breath and barely managed to maintain his mentality. He pulled O'Brien into the room, closed the door, and softened his tone a little. "Father, I didn't tell you in advance. I was worried about one more insider. , Just one more risk of leakage. Can you understand what I said?"
Hearing his son's serious explanation, O'Brien didn't feel so angry, so he said, "I'm not a talkative elf! Tell me in advance, I can definitely keep the secret."
"Yes, I know you will definitely keep the secret." Orips's tone is already very weak. In private, there is no need to maintain the majesty of the patriarch. He has almost coaxed his father like a child.
"Then why go to Savile?" O'Brien asked again.
This is the key!
Orips knew that his father actually didn't care if he received the notice in advance. After so many years, he should have been used to it, but there is one thing that the Savile collar is indeed a sensitive place for his father.
But right now, it is true that only Savile is the most suitable place to stay. Orips couldn't bear to deceive his father, so he said:
"I got accurate news that Zall has broken through the defense line and appeared on the surface, and it is not far from the north bank of the Tessa River, very close to us. Maybe tomorrow he will hit Sif City, and Sif City is not lost. It’s impossible to stop Zall’s attack. We must leave as soon as possible."
"Really?!" O'Brien was shocked. He only knew that the family was going to live in the human domain temporarily, but he did not expect that the threat of Drow was already in sight.
"It's true, apart from us in Sifu City, only the Moonmark Family knows this situation, and I also know it from them."
Hearing the name of "Moonscar Family", O'Brien showed a stunned look~EbookFREE.me~ The family names of the elves with the mark of "Sun Moon Star" belong to the "higher family", or branches of the upper family , At least once.
It is indeed possible for the Moonmark family to know such information.
But even if he knew that Zall might be about to hit Sif City, O'Brien was still a little reluctant to go to Savile. He looked at his son a little flatteringly, "Then why don't we go to other big cities? The big cities are confused. , It will definitely stop Drow!"
"Big cities are indeed locked in, but big cities also have local forces in big cities. How can a small family like ours who fled in the past can be allowed to enter without being raided? Even if we enter, the war of drow is underway. Who knows if we will be forced to join the war! It is better for the humans, as long as Comanso is still there, they dare not do anything to us."
Oripus said quietly.
At this time, he was very envious of the Moonmark family. With the care of the master, he could hide in the big city with a small amount of money, but compared to other elves who didn’t know about it. In other words, the Silver Leaf family has no idea how many times lucky.
Olips' words made O'Brien fall into contemplation. At this time, he already knew why the family had to go to Saville to take it, and at the same time he finally felt the difficulty of his son maintaining the family.
O'Brien finally let go of the incident that his son gathered his two younger brothers and ousted him from the position of patriarch ninety years ago. His son is indeed better than him, at least in terms of family management.
"I'll see if the people need help."
After speaking, O'Brien quickly left his son's room.
In the room, Orips showed a bitter smile, "Father, I hope you can maintain this state forever!"
