Chapter 114: Ranchi's Common Sealed Cards
The third floor meeting area of the Ikerite Card Creators Association.
Even indoors, you can hear the melodious sound of the twelve-stroke bell tower ringing in Hutton Walk Square.
The dark brown wooden floor is shining with the dazzling midday sunlight, and the towering dome with its log beam structure shows the natural and primitive feeling unique to the Kingdom of Hutton.
Beyond the leather sofas and coffee tables on the carpet, the circular wall separating the meeting area was projecting images of the Certified Card Maker Examination.
It is now two and a half hours since the exam started.
Some candidates have used up five chances and left the exam room with regret.
Some candidates have already completed two or three finished products, and are even continuing to try to make higher quality magic cards to improve their scores.
Next to the coffee table, the Earl's daughter Sophia was still sitting next to Prince Enol. The two were still the same as before, but the distance between them seemed to be a little closer.
Hyperion was sitting on the single sofa on the other side, looking relaxed and comfortable.
The three of them have been watching the registered card maker examination here.
Since it is a carousel, you can only see Lanqi's pictures occasionally.
The backstage staff of the Card Makers Association will provide switching screens at key moments such as when the examinee is about to complete card making.
After all, the most exciting thing is the moment when the card is made or exploded.
"If you want to pursue a higher success rate, and you want to get three out of five chances, you can just make all the cards white ordinary level."
Sophia looked at the card that had just exploded on the screen and couldn't help shaking her head.
"Yes, although I will be assigned the starting iron level in the end, at least I can pass the exam."
Hyperion also sighed.
Soon, the scene changed and the director cut to a candidate for the Holy Research Society who was about to finalize the packaging of magic cards.
He is currently making a composite magic card that mixes light and holy attributes, and is about to complete the penultimate step.
In people's sight, this young card maker dressed as an apprentice priest has already carefully engraved the magic carrier on the smooth card base and stamped the glowstone powder that activates light magic. The formed frame is like a shackle that firmly fixes the magic in the magic card.
Then, he began to work on the last and most important step, which was the final debugging and processing.
His eyes were focused, and his hand kept moving, skillfully connecting several magic seals together to form a complete magic energy loop, which could allow the magic cards to be recharged after the magic power was consumed, so that they could be used again.
In this process, he needs to ensure that each magic structure operates correctly when it is activated, and avoid conflicts with other structures. Once an error occurs, the card will collapse directly, and even under certain irregular operations, it may cause the card to explode violently.
His brows were furrowed in concentration.
Finally, at this stressful moment, a magic card successfully stabilized under the light, and people could clearly see the azure halo flowing on the card.
There was a sudden burst of praise from the already bustling floor.
The blue quality halo emanating from the card proved that his skills were very strong.
Because making cards on the spot during the exam is different from making cards at other times.
In daily card making, there is plenty of time for material selection and preparation, and there is no need to consider the success rate.
Being willing to give up the safest white ordinary quality and pursue cards with higher quality completion is a sign of great confidence in one's own skills.
"This guy's skill is pretty good. If he makes three blue precious cards, or a combination of one purple, one blue, and one white, he will be rated as bronze."
Ainol commented.
Although his research direction in the Magic Academy was not card making, he often came to the Card Makers Association to watch, and he almost knew what kind of magic cards would be rated at what level.
The better the quality of all the finished cards made in the exam, the higher the surplus promotion points will be even if they are graded at the same level.
At the same time, the finished card also appeared on the screen:
[Holy Light Sanction]
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: Blue Precious]
[Attribute: Light]
[Tier: 3]
[Effect: Causes light attribute group damage, attacks creatures in the evil god camp, and causes an additional 100% Holy Spirit Judgment damage, with a cooldown of 30 seconds.]
[Note: Holy light will purify your soul! ]
Sometimes, through such demonstrations, candidates can quickly sell the cards they have made and do not need after the exam. Some candidates with outstanding performance also receive orders and commissions on the spot.
"If you carry this kind of magic card all over your body, it will be very useful to eliminate evil spirits in a targeted manner. It can be used to fight against resurrectionists who have fallen deeply enough, and it can be directly effective against most demons and vampires."
"It's effective against demons, but it's hard to fight against vampires because they are impossible to kill. But we don't encounter them either."
Even if you are just sitting in the meeting area, you can hear the conversations of people passing by in the aisle.
There are very few demons in the southern continent. They existed in the northern continent before the demise of the demon kingdom, and the vampires are all mysterious and secretive individuals.
When dealing with vampires, you can only seal them but not kill them.
Their only weakness is that they become weaker during the day.
At night, they are the masters of everything and no one can defeat them.
So Hyperion understood why the background of the times mentioned in the opening remarks of Purgatory Corridor Academy was that humans were slaves of the vampires at night, because even the demons did not dare to confront the vampires at night.
In their heyday, no race could do anything to the vampires.
"Ah, it's not bad, but it's a pity that it's not very useful for people like us who live in the Hedon Capital all year round."
Ainol sometimes buys some cards, but he is not very interested in this card.
He could neither see the vampires nor fight the demons. As for the cultists, they did not dare to cause trouble in the capital where the high priest Loren was.
"Then you don't need to look at this guy's cards. The [Holy Light Hammer] and [Holy Light Apostle] from the same series have similar effects."
Sophia has seen the purpose of this candidate's card making. He must be preparing to make three of the same series, which can best maintain the feel and stability, while at the same time bringing his strengths to the limit and steadily jumping directly to the bronze level.
"Actually, I still like the cards made by Ranchi..."
As Enol spoke, he couldn't help but express his admiration for Lanqi.
Before he finished speaking, the screen switched to Lanqi, the person the three of them were focusing on today.
It seemed that due to the director's judgment of the priority of card quality, the main screen just now was given to the candidate who completed the blue quality magic card. When it came to Lanqi's side, he had already made the magic card.
The screen shows the results of the appraisal.
【Cartoon Mask】
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Grade: White Ordinary]
[Attribute: Seal]
[Tier: 3]
[Effect: Equip the summoned creature to harmonize its ferocious image and make it cute.]
【Note: The illustration has been adjusted for you. 】
"What kind of weird card is this?"
"I've never seen it before. I guess the association will record it as a patent for him."
Often, candidates will create new magic cards in the registration exam that have not been recorded by the association.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although Lanqi's cards are of low quality, their effects are strange and they always cause some small discussions.
“What an exciting card!”
Prince Ainol couldn't help but admire it, and seemed to want to buy some to try out for his own and his friends' summons.
Sophia and Hyperion looked at each other speechlessly.
What is meant by others making blue precious but unable to hide its decline, while Lanqi making white ordinary shows his masterly style.
I am too partial to this prince. If he becomes king in the future, I'm afraid he will be an iron-blooded and loyal king.
However, the card made by Lanqi is indeed a bit meaningless.
It may be used more as life magic or entertainment magic cards.
Of course, sometimes it might be quite frustrating if you forcibly turn an enemy's particularly ferocious and handsome dragon into a cute baby dragon.
So far.
Lanqi has already completed the three-way system.
Although the cards he made were all ordinary white seal magic cards, there was also a certain element of luck involved.
But it can be seen that this guy's adaptation to the sealing technique has reached a terrifying level.
Among the two cards made earlier, there was also one that Enor wanted very much.
【Little Love Doll】
[Category: Summon Card]
[Grade: White Ordinary]
[Attribute: Spirit/Seal]
[Tier: 3]
[Effect: The target's emotions are weakly sealed and weakened through singing, making them calm.]
【Note: Little love will heal you. 】
A cute doll of a poet I love.
In short, it is very cute, and makes people want to buy one and put it at home to listen to her singing.
Even Hyperion was wondering how to ask Lanqi to buy one for her, as she also wanted one.
On the contrary, the spell card that Lanqi is best at was made quite casually, as if he just wanted to get a qualified guarantee first.
Are you praying?
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: White Ordinary]
[Attribute: Seal]
[Tier: 3]
[Effect: Seal the target's eyeball for 1 second, cooling time 30 seconds. ]
【Note: Dear, guess who I am. 】
Except for the strange name and remarks, it is a common sealing magic on the market.
However, it seems a little different from "Seal Vision for 1 Second", he seems to be able to directly seal other people's pupil techniques.
Many candidates will simply end the exam after three successes.
Rather than making cards on the spot in an exam environment, it is better to find a time when you are ready and concentrate on making magic cards.
However, from the fleeting scene, Lanqi had no intention of quitting.
Lanqi also plans to continue making cards.
"Did he plan to make three white common cards as a guarantee from the beginning, and then try to make high-quality ones to raise the score?"
Sophia asked doubtfully.
This strategy is rarely used.
Because a card maker with a success rate of 40% out of 5 or 50% out of 5 doesn't need three white ordinary cards as a backup.
By making cards naturally with your skills, you can also make better magic cards.
"I don't know either."
Hyperion shook her head.
Lanqi had originally told her during the chat that the idea of card making was to play it safe and make white quality equipment, while trying for higher quality on summoning cards and spell cards.
Koranchi actually changed the card-making strategy temporarily, and Hyperion didn't know why he came up with the new idea.
