Celia divided the draft into three parts. "This scroll has three parts. Three of you will be responsible for drawing one part. After the first part is finished, hand it over to the people in the second part, and then to the people in the third part..."
There are 10 people here. After distributing the items, Celia looked at the eldest sorcerer, the one who stood up, and said, "There is one last part, which is to connect the three parts of the scroll. It is very important because this scroll is a fusion of three spells. So, can you do it? If you can, please do it for me. If not, I will do it by myself."
The other party snorted: "Of course you can, but Miss Celia, I advise you to speak properly and not be so arrogant, otherwise..."
"If you can do it well, do whatever you want. You'd better go and complain to Melina about me." Celia didn't care at all.
This attitude directly displeased all the sorcerers.
What are you pretending for?
Are you the only one here who can make scrolls?!
After receiving the draft and the finished and semi-finished products given by Celia, the many sorcerers immediately calmed down.
Including that older sorcerer.
After thinking for a moment, Celia finally remembered the other person's name.
Boyleid, a fourth-tier sorcerer, is one of the renowned sorcerers of the Holy Court.
The Holy Court takes the deep-sea conquest strategy very seriously.
"A renowned sorcerer should be able to handle it," Celia thought.
These were indeed former genius sorcerers, but after watching for a moment, someone immediately picked up a blank scroll and began to try to replicate it.
Before long, the light of failure appeared frequently, which made Celia unable to bear it any longer.
"No, with such a low success rate, you can't make a scroll."
She went over to take a look and said somewhat angrily, "Didn't I say there would be three groups, each responsible for one part? What are you trying to do by drawing the whole map? Are you crazy?"
The sorcerer, who had been scolded, immediately became displeased. "How can we understand the principles of the scroll and how can we draw the scroll without drawing the whole picture?"
“There’s absolutely no need for that,” Celia said irritably. “Let me tell you, even non-genius Benovia and Phil have a higher success rate than you. If you insist on trying to understand the entire scroll instead of doing your own work, then I’ll kick you out before you kick me out!”
The other party retorted, "Impossible! How could you possibly draw one if you don't understand the principles of scrolls?"
"We're not asking you to draw the whole thing, just a part. If you can't do it, please leave."
Celia looked at everyone.
No one moved.
Everyone's eyes were strange.
"Fine, if you won't leave, I will!"
With that, Celia turned around and ran away decisively.
As I left the house, I finally couldn't suppress the corners of my mouth, and they curled up sharply.
Run quickly, or they'll change their minds!
Chapter 436 Seriously? You guys can't even compare to a few little girls?
Inside the scroll-making workshop, many sorcerers looked at Boyleid, who was at the head of the group.
A sorcerer complained, "This year's Holy Maiden has such a terrible attitude. How can she be a Holy Maiden?"
Others echoed:
"Yes, the previous Holy Maiden was very powerful, but she was always very polite to us."
"Those who are arrogant because they have some talent are doomed to perish if they become saintesses."
"Your Excellency Boyle, tell me, what should we do?"
Boyle pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Miss Celia's attitude is indeed a problem. Perhaps she is arrogant, but after all, it was her research that you cannot deny."
Everyone nodded.
Using scrolls to draw spell combos is a brilliant idea, but in reality, many high-level scrolls can also be said to be modified and fused together from many low-level spells.
Most spells work this way, and scrolls are no exception: combining three into one creates a mid-level spell, and combining three again creates a high-level spell...
As scrolls become increasingly complex, they become more difficult to draw than magic circles.
The magic circle just needs to be big, big, big, the bigger the better.
"However, this is only a third-tier scroll, at most a fourth-tier scroll. Everyone here has a high success rate in drawing fourth-tier scrolls. She really shouldn't be so arrogant."
Boyle paused, then continued, "She ran, but we can't run. Now that we have all the information in the scroll, let's draw it out and show Bishop Melina what kind of person she's chosen."
"Yes!"
"She's willful, but we can't be as willful as her."
"Make one first, then go and tell Bishop Melina about the situation."
"Then let's begin!"
"..."
Two days later.
On behalf of the entire team of sorcerers, Boyle handed Melina the first scroll they had drawn.
The hardest part is getting to the bottom of scroll making; after that, it gets easier.
Now that they've succeeded, the next step is to improve their success rate.
Boyle was confident he could increase the success rate to over 20%, a confidence typical of a high-level sorcerer.
Melina received Boyleid's scroll, paused for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why is there only one?"
Boyle said, "Miss Celia was unwilling to work with us and left after handing us the scroll information. This is the first scroll we have successfully drawn. Once the first one is completed, we have been producing them steadily since then."
Melina nodded. "Alright, it's a bit slow, but if Celia doesn't want to, that's fine. I'll go try it out later... By the way, what's the cost of failure?"
Boyle said, "We're calculating it now. The estimated cost of materials and blank scrolls consumed over the next two days is around 500 gold coins."
“The cost of 500 gold coins is enough for Celia to make 500 scrolls… Well, it’s still progress. I’ll go test the scrolls first. You can make a cost estimate and efficiency report for me. Also, there are only about ten days left before the final offensive. You guys need to hurry. We need at least 2000 scrolls.”
"2000 sheets? Why so many?" Boyle asked in surprise.
"Not many, Celia could make them all by herself."
"impossible!"
Melina thought for a moment and said, "I'm not right. With Benovia and the others helping her, it should count as five people. There are ten of you. I'm not asking for much. The workload of five people can be completed by ten of you."
"Five people, I see. No wonder. Alright, don't worry, Bishop Melina, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"
It will take about ten days, requiring around 200 sheets per day. If the failure rate is taken into account, the daily output will definitely be much higher than that.
Boyle frowned.
"Is there something Celia hasn't told us?"
He returned to the scroll-making shop and told Melina about her request, which immediately sparked a heated discussion.
"Too much!"
"It's impossible to do no matter how you look at it."
"I can calculate the failures of scrolls tenfold, but..."
Boyle reached out and pressed down:
"Two thousand in twelve days. Two days will allow us to increase our success rate. For the remaining ten days, we need two hundred per day, or twenty per person. With this number, we still have a chance."
Seeing that the others seemed about to say something, Boyle said, "Bishop Melina said that Celia only needs four assistants to easily produce the output. You can't be outdone by five people, can you?"
"How is that possible?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Is it really not that Bishop Melina deliberately tricked us?"
"possible."
Boyle said, "Anyway, let's give it a try."
Everyone began to work on the scroll painting.
If Celia came, she would definitely shake her head.
Because they didn't listen to her at all. Instead of three people drawing a portion, each person drew a scroll. They didn't form an 'assembly line' and remained a small individual workshop.
Then, two days later...
Boyle found Melina and protested vehemently.
“Bishop Melina, you are making things difficult for us. It’s impossible to produce 200 scrolls a day. Each scroll takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Even working 10 hours a day, we can only produce 60-100 scrolls. The success rate needs to be at least 20% to make it possible for a single person to complete 20 scrolls. However, apart from me, no one else can achieve a stable 20% success rate.”
Melina exclaimed in surprise, "What? Only a 20% success rate?"
Boyle frowned: "What do you mean?"
“Celia said her success rate is over 50%, and if she draws it alone, her success rate can reach 90%.”
"Absolutely impossible. Only a magical machine could achieve a 90% success rate, but a magical machine cannot draw scrolls."
Melina rubbed her forehead. "You guys don't seem to like Celia. That shouldn't be the case. Celia is so lovable."
Boyle said, "We would all like Miss Celia if she were more approachable, but she's too haughty."
"What? Arrogant?"
Melina looked completely bewildered. "Are you talking about Celia?"
Boyle was also stunned: "Who else could it be but her?"
"I'll have her come and ask about the situation. By the way, the quality of the scrolls you've drawn is inconsistent. Some scrolls only have half the effect, which won't do. Celia's scrolls are guaranteed to have 100% effect."
Melina quickly called Celia over.
"Is there something you need, Bishop Melina?" Celia asked, yawning as she approached.
She noticed Boyle beside her, paused, and asked in surprise, "Is there a problem with the scroll's production?"
Boyle said coldly, "No problem, it's just that Bishop Melina's demands are unreasonable, and I'm protesting to her."
"Unreasonable demands?" Celia's drowsiness vanished instantly, replaced by alertness: "Does Bishop Melina expect you to create 4000 scrolls in ten days? That's inhuman! I protest to the Holy Lord!"
Boyle: "Uh, not that many, 2000 in ten days."
"What? Only 2000? Aren't there 10 of you? You're protesting over 2,000? That's incredibly useless."
"???"
Chapter 437 Holy crap, are you guys printers?
Melina was trying not to laugh.
Boyle's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
His expression darkened: "Miss Celia, what are you saying? Two thousand scrolls in ten days? Is that something a human could do?"
"Only two hundred per person? That's easy, isn't it? If I were still here, I could have you make at least three thousand."
Boyle: "..."
Melina laughed and said, "See? You might not believe it, but Celia can really do that."
Boyle didn't believe it: "Talk is cheap. Who knows if you're bragging? If it were me, I could say I draw 10,000 a day."
Just as Celia was about to say "believe it or not," Melina seized the opportunity to say, "How about this, let Celia and her team compete with you in a contest of production speed. There are ten of you and five of Celia's team. If you can catch up with their speed, you win, and I will appropriately lower the production requirements."
Celia refused: "No, I'm still working on my puppet, I don't have time."
Melina said, "It won't take long, just a few hours."
Celia still refused: "My team is short-staffed, and Phil has run into some problems and can't participate."
Melina said, "The materials used in the competition will be provided free of charge, and the finished product is yours to sell to me."
"make a deal."
Celia immediately agreed.
Previously, when drawing scrolls for the Knights of the Law, the Knights of the Law provided the materials, and they only needed to pay for the labor. Of course, the finished product belonged to the Knights of the Law, not to them. The labor costs also had to be shared with other people. In the end, the income from a single scroll was not much. It was only by making a lot that they could save up more than two thousand gold coins.
