Chapter 10

What Warran told me on the porch was not entirely true. Yes, I had to make about three thousand attempts to get the first rank of the inscription alone. And that number was multiplied by the rule of thumb - "it takes ten times as long to pump in the Peace Zone. But why to sit in a "peaceful zone"? There was such a thing as a boost. Boosting, i.e. "pushing", was considered the development of one character at the expense of others.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:07

+-+-The boost party would come to the area with strong and dangerous mobs, and then the "pushed" would lay out a camping workbench or anvil (carpenters made them and made good money on it) and start sharpening, planning, or doing something else. Monsters, disturbed by the noise of the work, went with claims to the "hooligan", right into the hands of the boost party, which caught them on the approach. As a result, everyone stayed in profit - the experience ran to the adventurers relentlessly, just take it. The craftsman's profession pumped up ten times faster than in the city. An unspoken rule was to divide the loot only between the fighting players, and it was considered good manners to give at least half of the crafted to the defenders. I was going to do some serious boosting. And not as a craftsman at all.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:13

But that's afterward, so for now it's time to get to the second part of my plan.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:14

It's time to get into the drawing business!

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:14

I turn off the helmet, combat modules, and microphone and take the tablet.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:17

"Comp, the output of the game on the wall screen."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:17

It took me a minute to understand the unfamiliar PC interface, but I was able to find the crafts tab.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:18

This is it, the drawing. Check the "use tablet" box in the settings.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:18

Select a spell from the list - Blessing of Amala Rank 2.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:19

Start?

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:19

Yes?

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:20

Copy the following figure into your tablet. You are left with 59, 58, 57, 56...

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:21

Drawing with a manipulator's finger allows me to avoid the accusation of cheating.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:29

You have created the scroll "Blessing of Amala - 4th rank

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:29

Uh... that's it? The timer froze at "46," so I made the scroll in fourteen seconds. Less than that, I didn't start right away.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:30

Comp, search. The words "creators of destiny", "video guide on drawing", and "tablet". The third clip is to run on the main panel.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:31

The black-haired guy turned to the camera and, judging by the strange combinations of sounds, spoke in Czech. The automatic YouTube translation turned on.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:32

"...and this guide will help you use it correctly..."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:32

"Skip forward."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:34

"...It's also a good idea to use a manipulator rather than a pen, which will allow..."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:34

"Skip forward."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:34

"...copy the pattern that appears on the screen. It will depend on the difficulty of the spell being created, taking into account both the rank of the spell itself and the rank of the drawing and the higher the intended result, the more complex the pattern. The chance of creation depends on how accurately you replicate it on your tablet. You were able to copy more than eighty percent in a minute - you created a scroll. Couldn't? Then drawing with a tablet is not for you, use game tools, where a third of success is guaranteed. I will now demonstrate how you can create a level five spell scroll! Watch the hands."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:36

I watched in growing bewilderment as the guy, with a concentrated face, drew a simple pattern on the tablet that had appeared. A circle with a hexagon inscribed in it, pierced by two open corners, plus four five-pointed twist lines and seven small spirals with two turns at each corner and in the center of the hexagon. It's simple, isn't it?

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:37

The guy made it two seconds before the countdown ended and turned triumphantly to the camera:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:37

"I created a scroll with an Ice Arrow spell of rank five. As you can see, it's already complicated. Using a tablet makes sense when casting scrolls up to rank three, at most rank four. It's not worth trying to get to the fourth rank and above without special training, because the patterns are always different and the requirements for accuracy are very high. Therefore, all guild drawers use only in-game means of drawing, where there is not much trouble, except for obtaining the necessary materials. I will now demonstrate another scroll - of rank four."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:39

"Comp, pause."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:39

I picked up my tablet and got ready.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:39

"...so, rank four. Watch closely!" Of course, teacher, I'm all ears.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:40

I drew a beveled five-beam star crossed by three diverging lines and two blots on each side in eleven seconds, and then watched my "colleague" diligently move the pointer across the screen for forty more seconds. After pausing, I compared his and my drawings. Mine was more accurate.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:41

"Comp, close the video."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:41

I'm a goddamn genius!

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:41

Either he is an armless loser. Or the drawers of the world conspired not to reveal the secrets of the craft to newcomers. Or... who cares? Can I draw a scroll five times faster? Good. So I'll spend half an hour instead of an hour a day. Let's get to work.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 14:43

I needed twenty scrolls of Phantom Companion, thirty of Blood Shield, and ten of Amala's Blessings. After I spent all my ingredients, I stocked my entire inventory with level four scrolls. Plus two sixth-level scrolls. I didn't make it in half an hour.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:00

Suddenly the chance to create a "masterpiece" worked. Probably somehow the speed at which I gave out the scrolls had an effect, and two scrolls, "Companion" and "Blessing", were given an additional rank when they were drawn.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:01

It's nice, I love freebies. Who doesn't?

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:01

I put on my ammunition and looked around the room. Spartan living for the temple officers, without the bad but pleasant frills. A bunk, covered with a simple blanket and a skinny pillow, a storage closet, a gun rack where my sword now stood, and a table. There was no chair.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:03

Makes sense. A paladin should be busy with business, and the room is just for sleeping and folding things. But it reminds me of my apartment! It lacks a wall panel, but it looks like my bedroom, except that it is a little bigger, and instead of a camp bed with a wool blanket a good orthopedic mattress with... a wool blanket. Well, I'm used to it since childhood!

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:04

Smirking at the unexpected coincidence, I opened the door, took my sword from the counter, and went out.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:04

The deadline to pay for your room is 58 days. Remember that only in your room are you guaranteed safety... as much as is possible in the world of creation of destiny.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:05

The jokers, though.

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:05

In the courtyard, I bowed politely to the priest I knew, and the latter, without reminding laid the blessing of the temple upon me. After a salute, I made my way to the castellan:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:28

"Father Castellan?"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:28

He took his eyes off the papers and looked at me:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:29

"Yes? Do you have some questions?"

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:29

"I am new in town and would like to ask where it is wise to keep my money. I'm going on a campaign soon, and the gold will only be an unnecessary burden. Better to give it to trustworthy people... but who in town is trustworthy enough? That money is all I have, and I wouldn't want to lose it to someone else's greed."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:30

The castellan cleared his throat and suggested:

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:31

"You do not yet have the proper rank in the guard to take advantage, as all your comrades do, of the Temple's treasury. But at a venerable Khramm, you will find good terms if you show him my letter of recommendation."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:32

"Thank you, Father Castellan. I will take your advice."

Camrad_RIP 28.08.22 в 17:32

I expected to be told to leave everything with the Castellan but ,apparently the level is too low. So, to Khramm.
