Chapter 439 - 437: Hello, Mentor Hilia~
scrolls?
How is that possible?
Including Boyleid, everyone was in disbelief.
Looking at the stack of scrolls twice their number, everyone was shocked, utterly confused.
Is it real? A veteran Curse Master, with a few "apprentices," has outdone ten veteran Curse Masters?
If this leaks out, no one would believe it; they’d be laughed at.
Melina laughed, "See? That’s Hilia’s speed."
Everyone lowered their heads.
But suddenly someone said, "Wait, quantity isn’t everything, quality matters too."
Melina chuckled, "I’m not trying to discourage you, but your quality is inconsistent; none of you are as stable as Hilia. Apart from Boyleid’s scrolls being able to match Hilia’s quality, the rest are far behind."
As she spoke, she picked up a few scrolls and casually threw them onto each person’s table.
They picked up the scrolls to inspect.
A moment later, they gasped.
"Such high quality, better than mine."
"The fusion is too well done."
"Although the drawing techniques of the three parts are slightly inferior, especially the third part, the overall quality is higher after fusion."
"Impressive, I admit defeat."
Doris stared at the Curse Master criticizing her drawings, noting him down in her little notebook.
Melina also sighed, "60 scrolls in 2 hours, twice as many as Boyleid and the others, amazing."
Hilia waved her hand, "That’s equivalent to 30 scrolls per hour, not bad. If I need to mix Scroll Ink, I could only make about 20 to 25, efficiency would decrease."
Everyone: "..."
Are you guys printers?!
Boyleid walked over to carefully examine Hilia’s scrolls.
A moment later, he took a deep breath and sincerely asked, "Miss Hilia... no, Mentor Hilia, please tell us, how did you do it?"
Hilia quietly distanced herself, "Didn’t I already tell you? All the secrets are in the drafts I gave you; I want to ask you why you are so slow."
The Curse Masters behind were displeased but, thinking of Hilia’s speed, their dissatisfaction turned into a willingness to learn.
Boyleid was the same, adopting a ’you’re-right’ expression.
He said, "Everyone’s drawing speed varies, and so does the success rate. To ensure success, speed can’t be that fast; if it’s too fast, the success rate drops."
"It’s not about speed." Hilia shook her head, "It’s your drawing method that’s problematic."
"Method?" Boyleid was stunned.
All the Curse Masters perked up their ears, listening intently.
Hilia sighed and said, "When I first arrived, I already told you to split into three groups, each responsible for a part, and finally have the experienced Mr. Boyleid do the fusion."
Boyleid and the numerous Curse Masters looked at each other.
Melina chuckled, "It’s perfect; I’ve used the Yesterday Reappearance Skill to record the entire process of your competition, you can watch how Hilia and the others did it."
Boyleid’s eyes lit up, "Please, Ms. Meilina, play the recording."
Melina nodded and played the recording.
All the Curse Masters watched carefully.
Quickly, they noticed that besides Hilia, the other three focused only on drawing one part, and once finished, handed it over for others to draw the next part.
The final fusion was personally handled by Hilia.
They were all veteran Curse Masters and quickly grasped the concept.
"So this is it, if you only focus on one part, you don’t need to consider as much, and you don’t need to draw some fusion nodes while drawing a part to save time."
"If I only draw one part, my success rate is at least 90%."
"Miss Hilia’s scroll drawing speed is truly astonishing; even when drawing alone, her speed and success rate are unmatched."
This scroll drawing method was something they had never tried.
At last, they understood why Hilia split the scroll into three parts for them to understand.
It was to let them form groups, collaborate, not only speeding up drawing but also increasing success rate.
Even if the final fusion part had only a 20% success rate, efficiency could boost by at least 50%!
Mind you, they had ten people, while Hilia had only four.
All the Curse Masters fell into deep thought.
Until Melina’s voice came, "So, do you admit defeat?"
Boyleid nodded solemnly, "Heartfelt submission, from today, Hilia is my mentor."
The others echoed:
"Also my mentor."
"Me too."
"Mentor Hilia, sorry, my eyes were poor."
"Please forgive our mistakes, Mentor Hilia."
"..."
Seeing the Curse Masters calling her mentor one after another, thinking of their age being old enough to be her uncle, Hilia felt her scalp tingle.
She packed up the 60 scrolls, "Melina, Ms. Meilina, the matter is resolved, we’re leaving; we won’t delay Mr. Boyleid’s work anymore."
Boyleid hurriedly said, "Mentor Hilia, don’t go yet, we... why run so fast?"
Once he spoke, Hilia immediately cast Light Body Technique and Swift Movement Skill, disappearing in a flash.
Benovia and the other three quickly left too, lest they get entangled by these Curse Masters.
Melina left behind the Magic Guide Device with the recording, smiling, "You can study it yourselves; now you can reach a ten-day output of 2000, right?"
Boyleid nodded, "Ten days 2000, if not met, I’ll retire immediately."
Melina laughed, "Retire? Dream on."
...
"Made off with 60 scrolls effortlessly, feels good."
Hilia awaited Benovia and the three’s arrival, giving each of them 15 scrolls.
"We earned these through hard work, here, selling them to the Holy Court will earn us over a hundred Gold Coins."
Encore accepted the scrolls, saying, "Gold Coins are a trivial matter; I’m more concerned about whether they’ll bother us later."
Hilia said, "They probably won’t; these Curse Masters are quite proud, and the method isn’t hard to understand. They’ve made a breakthrough, can adeptly draw scrolls; dividing and collaborating will be faster than us, no need to pester us."
"That’s good." Encore let out a sigh of relief.
They chatted idly while heading back to their room.
Hilia looked at the scattered Magic Puppet parts, rubbed her neck, and stretched, her delicate curves faintly visible.
"Well then, let’s continue assembling my Magic Puppet!"
The custom Magic Puppet materials had long been delivered; Hilia had them engrave runes on the parts, enchant them, and send them separately for her to assemble.
Only by assembling herself could she achieve the satisfactory form.
Beside her, fragments of the Divine Format of the God of Life emitted a faint glow.
