Chapter 217: Lanqi plays an optimistic
In the temple under the sun's corona, the warm air is filled with the fragrance of plants and trees around the temple.
Lanqi sat on the stone steps, feeling the breeze above the green fields on the cliff, enjoying this dreamlike leisure, looking relaxed and contented.
Although the principal rarely supervises the exams himself, if he does, he must ensure that the candidates do not feel pressured.
He watched Kallen making the card from a distance.
The soft light illuminated the workbench like a sacred altar. Kallen was like a saint guarding the temple, her movements were clean, neat and quiet.
When making cards in the shadow world, the main materials often come from first decomposing the magic cards brought in, and then processing and remaking them.
This is also the reason why many useless purple rare magic cards called "embryos" can still be sold at a certain price.
Of course, in this temple, strange plants and waste stone slabs can also become good materials, as long as you can understand their uses and blend them into the right proportions.
The tool box on Karen's desk was filled with several natural green plants and petals.
She placed the box on her workbench, gently touching each plant as if communicating with them through magic, and took a feather-shaped green plant from the box and placed it in a special grinder, grinding it gently with the jade handle.
As the grinding process progressed, green powder floated out of the grinder, and each grain carried a unique magical aura. Then, Kallen picked up a small bottle of specially made transparent magic ink, mixed it with the green powder, and added a little lime. During the mixing process, the fluctuations of magic power were like a whirlwind, accompanying the green powder dancing in the ink.
After completing this step, Kallen blew gently, smoothed the workbench, waited for the ink and green powder to blend more perfectly, stared at the workbench again, and placed a high-quality white card obtained by decomposition in the center.
Then, she dipped an exquisite portable feather pen into the ink she had just prepared. The moment the tip of the pen touched the card surface, the magic structure began to take shape rapidly under her extremely delicate brushstrokes. Every line and every rune was inextricably linked to the wind.
The card-making process is very long and requires great patience and concentration. Kallen's eyes are as sharp as a hawk, and the tip of the pen moves along with her wrist, gently but extremely confidently outlining the magic structure.
Time seemed to pass quickly and slowly. Only Kallen and her magic cards were left in front of the stone slab of the temple. The cards she drew exuded a soft magical halo, just like the morning light shining on the green grassland.
“That’s amazing.”
Lanqi rarely watched others make cards.
Now, witnessing the whole process of Karin, a genuine gold-level card maker, making magic cards, I couldn't help but sigh.
She must have a very high level of understanding of the [Original Slate - Wind] to be so determined in every step.
As for Ranchi, although he also brought in some rare purple magic cards with wind attribute that could be decomposed, he still hadn't figured out what to do with the wind attribute magic cards based on the part of [Original Slate-Wind] that he had just understood.
This comparison made Lanqi even more convinced that if it wasn't [Original Slate - Seal], [Original Slate - Healing], [Original Slate - Spirit] or [Original Slate - Light] which had a reasonable compatibility, it would be of little use for him to look at it.
Even if he could really gain insights into wind-attribute magic engineering, he would not have much chance to make wind-attribute magic cards in the future.
However, the mural itself was so beautiful that Lanqi couldn't help but admire it for a while. He had completely lost interest in the barrier technique on it.
"Lanqi, lend me an eye."
A clear voice came from Lanqi's heart.
It was the poet of great love who took the initiative to talk to him.
When Lanqi lifted the summoning restrictions on her, she could come out on her own and also sense what was happening near Lanqi.
"Okay, don't worry."
Lanqi felt the restlessness of the "Poet of Great Love" in the soul space, so he followed her magic power mobilization needs and allowed her to use her own magic power. Gradually, Lanqi's emerald green left eye was covered by a touch of blue light.
Although he did not gain much insight from the original stone tablet, the poet of great love might be able to understand much more than him.
A long time passed like this.
Lanqi sat on the stone steps, watching Kallen making cards, while he picked up a piece of good stone raw material and polished it with the chisel and brush in the portable card-making tool.
"Lanqi, let me make the card later, you help me."
The great poet of love finally sent his thoughts again, ordering Lanqi around arrogantly.
"Then I'll leave it to you this time."
Lanqi didn't mind. He was naturally very happy that the great poet was willing to help him.
He stood up from the stone steps, rolled up the cuffs on his wrists, and prepared to go to a farther place where even if he summoned the Great Love Poet it would not affect Kallen.
This concludes the invigilation work.
…
The ancient pagoda library of Sagein Temple.
More than an hour had passed since Kallen and Lanci entered the realm of the Original Slate, and countless students had been coming and going on the upper floors of the library.
Apart from a few interested students who would take a look at the foundation level center at the fence upstairs, the only people waiting were scholars who came routinely to record.
There are two armchairs next to a small round table on the sixth floor, next to the stone railing, where students can read leisurely. Hyperion and Sophia sit here and sip their afternoon tea.
"If you observe the slate and perform well, you can make magic cards. However, time is limited after all. If you fail a few times, you will not have enough materials, and you will not have enough time to continue making cards."
Sophia and Hyperion chatted about what might happen when their magic craftsmen observed the stone tablet.
After she finished speaking, she looked at the big clock in the library. If everything went well, it shouldn't take long for the slate observation to be over.
"It's okay. Lanqi has an optimistic attitude. He doesn't care whether the card can be made or not."
Hyperion sipped her tea and smiled.
She listened to Tata telling her at night that when Lanqi made cards, nine out of ten times he would fail. Others would feel ashamed, disappointed and annoyed when their cards failed, but Lanqi would even laugh after failing.
"I wish I had the same mentality as Principal Lan."
Sophia stroked her cheek and sighed.
Maybe she just needs to be more calm in order to control her Enol.
"...Sophia, promise me that you won't learn from him."
Upon hearing this, Hyperion immediately put down her teacup and looked at Sophia's advice seriously.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She felt that Sophia seemed to have some early symptoms.
While the two were chatting, there was some noise coming from the base layer, which made them stand up from their chairs again and lean over the stone railing to look down.
I saw that Kallen had returned to the ancient tower library from the original stone slab area.
In the hall of the basic level, many scholars left their seats and asked Kallen questions about the stone tablet they were observing.
At this moment, she felt like the moon surrounded by stars, with a comfortable smile on her face.
On the terrace of a high floor, many students were looking down curiously, and gradually some students began to make sounds of surprise.
At this moment, Karin was holding a translucent card with pink mist in her hand.
She did not hide it, but directly revealed the magical properties of the card to facilitate scholars' identification.
[Phantom of the Wind]
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Level: 4]
[Passive effect: If dodge is possible, you will get a chance to dodge once every 20 seconds. Mana will be consumed when dodge is triggered.]
[Note: Don’t bully me, a weak, pitiful and helpless person. ]
Since magic cards are made in the Slate Field by decomposing them and then remaking them using a portable card-making tool set, they are much more difficult to make than normal cards in the world, and the materials are often only purple rare grade. Kallen was able to make a pink sacred card in one go, on the one hand because she performed extremely well, and on the other hand because her skills were very strong, and she did gain a lot of insights in the Slate Field.
"Damn it, I made her a pink sacred one."
Sophia pounded the stone railing unwillingly.
Even standing on the sixth floor, she could hear students praising Karen from downstairs and in the distance.
According to Sophia's understanding, Karin had never made two pink sacred cards before. Apparently, she gained a lot from this observation. Moreover, this kind of life-saving magic card is perfect for battlefield card makers who are struggling with rank amplification in the shadow world.
"Unless Lanqi makes an epic card, or a stronger sacred card, he can defeat her."
Sophia looked at Hyperion with a slightly anxious expression and said.
She knew that Lanqi’s card making required a high upper limit and a low lower limit, which was why Lanqi was able to reach the platinum level.
"It's unlikely. Lanqi's wind attribute is not compatible. If he can make a magic card, everything will be fine."
Hyperion shook her head.
"Wouldn't that mean she would have to pretend it?"
Sophia saw that Hyperion was not anxious at all, and she felt that she was more anxious than she was.
"Lanqi probably wouldn't care too much. He doesn't have much of a competitive spirit anyway."
Hyperion spread her hands helplessly. She had never seen Lanqi seriously compete with others.
She guessed that Lanqi just made the card at random this time.
As they were chatting, they finally saw Lanqi's figure teleporting in front of the Void Gate downstairs. The Void Gate transformed by the [Original Slate-Wind] also twisted and rotated at this moment until it disappeared in an instant and turned back into the magic card in Dean Loren's hand.
