The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 470 Squeaking Car
They left Green Forest Town, but hadn't gone far; they were still on the nearby official road. The road was fairly wide and in good condition, and it was a straight road. Lilith, half-believing, stepped aside and let Zizi try.

Squeak jumped onto the cushion and plopped down on it.

Then, with practiced ease, he knocked twice on a spot in the carriage.

"Click~"

The tightly sealed wooden plank sprang open, revealing a small observation hole covered by transparent glass.

Its height and size are exactly the same as Squeak's height in its shrunken state.

Seeing this, what else do Lilith and the others not understand?
Moran clearly intended for Zhizhi to drive from the beginning; otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a suitable hidden lookout point.

Moreover, there was no trace of the lookout point from the outside of the carriage, indicating that it had been deliberately concealed.

Moran wasn't as calm as they thought at this moment.

Everything else was in her plan, but Zhizhi's driving skills were not.

No matter how smart it is, it can be clumsy at times.

Although she had repeatedly told Zizi that when driving a carriage, it was better to go slowly than to rush.

But Zizi hadn't practiced beforehand; it had only watched intently as Lilith and the others drove the carriage yesterday.

But none of this can guarantee that Zizi will be able to control the magic carriage smoothly.

Moran was genuinely worried for it.

If that doesn't work, she'll have to be the driver herself.

Anyway, no one else can see it from inside the carriage.

Seeing that Zizi had taken the initiative and hadn't moved the little rocking horse, Moran felt a little relieved.

The little wooden horse is currently at the optimal speed for the carriage.

It's slow enough, and safe enough.

Being able to resist the urge to speed is already half the battle won.

In order to keep the driver's job that she had long coveted, Zhizhi restrained her impetuous and restless nature and did not speed up at will. However, there would be a curve after this straight road.

It requires prior familiarization with the steering operation.

It held the horse's head with utmost care, only slightly turning the horse's head to test its direction.

After making a few slight left and right turns along the straight trade route, the carriage finally got a feel for it.

When the straight section of road ended, it successfully controlled the carriage and made a graceful turn around a bend.

Moran was relieved and proudly told her friends, "How was that? You controlled Squeak pretty well, right?"

Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph: "..."

They really couldn't find a single fault with it.

It seems this scroll has truly been copied.

"The Apprentice's Essential Survival Skills, is it?" The three witches resignedly pulled out their witch's book, found the mage's book they had copied before leaving the wilderness, and began to read it.

Moran was satisfied and took out some alchemical materials to make blank magic scrolls.

She has only just learned how to make blank magic scrolls at the apprentice level; there are still beginner and intermediate levels to come!
After that, she no longer had the method to make it.

However, it's never too late to learn what you already have before searching for more.

In fact, this magic scroll is quite similar to her {magic cards}.

All of them can unleash magic after being used. However, {magic cards} can only be created by her, or rather by the Book of Cards, and the magic involved is only known to her, the owner of the Book of Cards.

However, a blank magic scroll allows any mage to record their own spells.

Moran wanted to thoroughly understand the principles behind this blank magic scroll and create a {blank magic card} that could record any magic.

Not just the magic of mages, but also the magic of witches, angels, and dragons.

Human mages' alchemical magic is indeed unique, but their control over knowledge is also astonishing.

She did manage to learn how to use the blank magic scroll for apprentices.

But he was just copying what he learned from his experience with witch alchemy.

In fact, he didn't even understand the meaning of the alchemical runes.

The book that Della's grandmother sent contained alchemy blueprints for blank magic scrolls at the apprentice, beginner, and intermediate levels, but not a single word about alchemical runes.

Whether it's a mage's alchemy or a witch's alchemical magic, the core and most fundamental element is those special runes that can communicate with magical energy.

How can one fully understand the principles behind these alchemical blueprints if they don't know their meaning?

Just like the alchemy class at the academy, simply copying the steps will only teach you the basics of alchemy, allowing you to make simple alchemical items.

But anything more complex won't work, and there's no room for creation or modification.

The witch academy existed back then because many witches had only average alchemical talent, so this was the only way to help them quickly master the creation of some commonly used magical items.

But the mage's purpose was to seize control of the core alchemical heritage.

Moran had asked Della's grandmother, and she learned that the most orthodox and comprehensive alchemical tradition in the Magic Empire was held in the Alchemy Department of the Imperial Magic Academy; elsewhere, one could only learn the basics.

Many mages can make simple magical items, but only mages who graduated from the Alchemy Department of the Imperial Magic Academy can be called alchemists.

Many mages may have alchemy blueprints in their collections, but only the Alchemy Division of the Imperial Magic Academy possesses the core alchemy rune books.

Moran can only rely on her experience in witch alchemy to study more of the mage's alchemy blueprints and see if she can decipher the runes on the blueprints and understand their meaning and usage.

In short, she has learned all the witch's magic she could, and now the only thing she is still lacking is her magic level.

However, it's not something you can reach the top in an instant; it requires a long period of accumulation and practice.

Now that she's in the carriage, she has plenty of energy to study other things.

It's perfectly normal for a high-level mage to study mage alchemy blueprints.

Moran estimated that many mages without alchemical lineages had the same idea as her.

However, the outcome remains to be seen.

She was so engrossed in the alchemy blueprints that she stopped paying attention to Lilith and the others learning to copy magic scrolls.

However, Lilith and the others don't really need Moran to supervise everything.

When Moran occasionally looked up at them, they were very attentive, which made her even more gratified.

It seems they were just a little hesitant before starting, but once they started, they were determined to do it well.

Actually...

Lilith, Sylph, and Vasita have been dragged into Moran's mess again.

Who was it that said before that witches' alchemical runes were more versatile than mages', but simply underdeveloped?

Now he studies more diligently and faster than anyone else!
They couldn't compete when they were witches, and they still couldn't compete when they were mages!
Surely they can't even finish something as simple as copying a magic scroll?
