Chapter 113: Ranchi's Common Sealing Card
val church..."At this midnight hour, even across the screen, the air at Gerald Square seems to carry a chill autumn wind that sends shivers down your spine."Don't talk nonsense!"However, some people's...Chapter 114: Ranchi's Ordinary Seal Card
The Ikrithe Craftsman Association's Third Floor Meeting Area. {No errors in the chapters, read on google search.}
Even indoors, one can hear the melodious chimes of the clock tower ringing twelve times on Hatton Garden.
The deep brown wooden floor gleamed in the harsh midday sun. The soaring vault, framed by rough-hewn beams, revealed the distinctive natural and primitive feel of the Herton Kingdom.
In the distance, a leather sofa and coffee table sit on the rug. A circular wall projects an image of a registration card maker exam, separating the conversation area.
It has been two and a half hours since the exam started.
Some examinees have used up their five chances and regrettably left the exam.
Some candidates have already completed two to three finished products, and are even continuing to try and create higher quality magic cards to improve their scores.
Beside the coffee table, the Earl's daughter Sophia was still sitting beside Prince Aenor. The two were still as they always were, but the distance seemed to have shortened a little.
While Huberly sat on the other side of the single sofa, looking relaxed and at ease.
Three people have been watching the registration card making exam.
Because it's a slideshow, you only get to see Ranch's artwork occasionally.
The Association of Card Makers' staff will provide a live feed screen at key moments when the examinee is about to finish card making.
After all, the most exciting part is nothing more than the moment when a card is successfully crafted or destroyed.
If you're aiming for a high success rate, try going for three out of five chances. For that, just do white normal-level attempts.
Sophia looked at the card that had just exploded on the canvas, and couldn't help but shake her head.
"Yes, although it will eventually be fixed to the starting Iron level, at least you can pass the exam."
Hughberlian also exclaimed.
Soon, the scene shifted, and the director cut to a Sacred Teachings Research Institute examinee about to finalize the packaging of a magic card.
He is making a composite type magic card that blends light and holy attributes, and it's almost finished with the second to last step.
In the eyes of onlookers, this young card artisan dressed as an apprentice divine caster had already meticulously engraved a mana conduit on the smooth card base. Embossed with glimmering dust of activation light attribute magic, the framework formed was like shackles, firmly securing mana within the magic card.
Then, he began the final and most crucial step: final adjustments and processing.
His gaze was focused, his pen strokes ceaselessly carving arcane glyphs together with deft precision. He wove them into a complete magical energy circuit, capable of recharging depleted mana cards, allowing them to be used once more.
During this process, he needs to ensure that each magical structure operates correctly when activated and avoid conflicts with other structures. Once an error occurs, the card will collapse directly, and in some irregular operations, it may even cause the card to explode violently.
His brows were furrowed, his whole attention focused.
Finally, in this moment of intense pressure, a magic card stabilized under the light, and people could clearly see the azure glow flowing incessantly on the card.
A burst of praise erupted among the already excited occupants on that floor.
The azure aura emanating from the card testifies to his exceptional skill.
Because making cards under exam conditions is different from making them during normal practice.
Making cards on a regular day allows for ample time in material selection and preparation, and the emphasis on success rate is not as crucial.
Being willing to forgo the safest white standard quality and instead pursue a higher level of card completion is a testament to one's own technical skill.
This guy's level is decent. If he made three Blue Rare cards, or a combination like one Purple, one Blue, and one White, they would all sell for bronze tier.
Aenor commented.
Although his studies at the Artificer's Academy weren't focused on card making, he frequented the Card Maker's Association and knew almost instinctively what level a magical card would be assigned to.
The better the quality of all completed cards in an exam, even if they are graded at the same level, the higher the surplus promotion points will be.
At the same time, the finished card from before was also displayed on the screen:
Holy Light's Judgment
Category: Spell Card
Grade: Blue Precious
[Class: 3]
Effect: Deals holy damage to a group of targets, attacks creatures from the evil deity camp, and inflicts an additional 100% Holy Judgment damage. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.
Note: Holy light will purify your soul!
Sometimes, through this kind of exhibition, candidates can quickly sell the cards they have made and do not need after the exam. Some high-performing candidates even receive orders and commissions on the spot.
"If everyone carried these magic cards and targetedly eliminated evil spirits, it would be incredibly useful. They could combat fallen disciples who had descended deeply into depravity, and against most demons and blood races, they would be directly effective."
"Fighting against the Demon Race is effective, but fighting against the Blood Race is really tough because they're practically unkillable. Though, we wouldn't encounter them anyway."
Even just sitting in the conference area, you could hear conversations of passersby in the hallway.
Demons are rare in the Southern Continent. The demon kingdoms were originally located in the Northern Continent before they perished, and vampires are mysterious and reclusive individuals.
Dealing with vampires, one can hardly kill them, sealing them is almost the only option.
Their only weakness is that they are weakened during the day.
At night, they reigned supreme, invincible.
So, Huberli understands why the opening speech of Purgatory Corridor Academy mentioned the background of the era, that at night humans were all slaves to vampires, because even demons dared not confront vampires head-on at night.
In their prime, the blood race were unconquerable by any other species.
"Well, it's not bad. It's just that it's not very useful for us who live in the Heston royal city all year round."
Einor sometimes buys cards, but she is not very interested in them.
He neither sees the blood clan nor fights against the demon clan. As for cultists, they dare not cause trouble in the capital where the great paladin Lauren resides.
"You don't even need to look at this guy's card. The same series, [Holy Light Warhammer] and [Holy Light Apostle], have similar effects."
Sophia had seen through this student's card-making purpose. He must be preparing to make three of the same series, aiming to maintain the best feel and stability while showcasing his strengths to the fullest, steadily and directly jumping to the bronze level.
"Actually, I still prefer the cards made by Lanchi..."
And as he spoke, Eleanor couldn't help but express her admiration for Lance.
Before the voice could finish, the screen just cut back to the three of them and their focus for today: the ranch.
It seems that due to the director's judgment of card quality priority, most of the screen time was given to the examinee who completed the blue quality magic cards. By the time it switched to Lance's side, he had already made his magic cards.
The screen displays its appraisal result —
【Cartoon Masks】
Category: Equipment Card
Grade: White Standard
[Class: 3]
Effect: Equipping familiars with this will soften their menacing appearance, making them appear cute.
Note: The illustration has been adjusted for you.
"What a strange card this is"
"Never seen this before, I guess the association would record it as a patent for him."
Often, there are also examinees who create new types of magical card cards in the registration examination that have not been recorded by the association.
Lanche's cards might be low in rank, but their effects are strange. They always cause a little bit of discussion each time.
"What a touching card!"
Prince Aenor couldn't help but marvel, it seemed he wanted to buy one for his summoned creatures and his friends' summoned creatures to try.
Sophia and Huberlian exchanged speechless glances at each other.
What does it mean that others have produced a blue precious and unmistakable decadent trend, while Lanche has produced a white ordinary and obvious masterly style
This prince is too biased. If he becomes king in the future, it's probably going to be a hardline protector of Lan faction.
However, the card that Ranch made does seem a little pointless.
> may be used more as cards for life magic or entertainment magic.
Of course, sometimes if you forcibly turn a fierce and cool dragon into an adorable baby dragon, it might also be quite mind-blowing.
That's it.
Lanchi has already made three out of three.
Although he created nothing but ordinary, plain white sealing magic cards, there was also an element of luck involved.
But it can be seen that this guy's adaptation to the sealing art has reached a terrifyingly high level.
Two cards that were made before also had one that Einor really wanted.
【Little Lover Doll】
Category: Summon Card
Grade: White Standard
[Class: 3]
Effect: Through subtle vocal seals, the target's emotions are weakened and calmed.
Note: Xiao Ai will heal you.
The lovable plush doll version of the great poet.
All in all, it's very cute and makes you want to buy one to keep at home and listen to her sing.
Lian Xiulian was also thinking about how to open her mouth, and buy one from Lan Qi. She wanted one too.
On the contrary, Lance's most proficient spell cards were casual and seemed merely intended to achieve a passing grade.
Praying
Category: Spell Card
Grade: White Common
[Class: 3]
Effect: Seals target's eye for 1 second, cooldown time 30 seconds.
Note: Darling, guess who it is.
Besides the name and note being odd, it belongs to common seal magic found on the market.
But it seems to be different from "Seal Vision for 1 Second". He seems to be able to directly seal other people's ocular techniques as well.
After passing three papers, many candidates will directly end the exam.
Creating cards in a test environment can be stressful. It's better to find a time when you're well-prepared and can focus on creating magical cards.
However, a fleeting glimpse showed that Lance had no intention of retreating.
Lanche still plans to continue making cars.
"Was he planning to start with three white common base cards first, and then try to make high-quality ones to raise his score"
Sophia asked in confusion.
This strategy is rarely used.
Because there are card masters with a success rate of 50% or even 60%, they don't actually need three white common guaranteed pulls.
With skill, you can naturally craft cards and make even more excellent magical cards.
I don't know.
Huperlyan shook her head.
Lanche had originally told her that the card-making idea was to strive for white quality on equipment, and to try higher qualities on summon cards and spell cards.
Kalanj actually changed the cardmaking strategy on a whim, and Huberlyan has no idea why he came up with the new idea.
(The End)
[ ]lore Nan Wantina. Also, there's something I'm curious about…"Speaking of speaking.Tallia seemed to be lost in thought."What"Hubley inquired curiously."Didn't you say that Lance is good at painting"Tal...
