Chapter 357: Lanqi's Calm Preparation

On the second floor of the Lord's Mansion in Kingston City, in a magic workshop with classical decoration, brown wood washed by time is carved into counters of varying heights, and the barrier talismans engraved on their surfaces emit a faint light like breathing.

Sid sat in the chair in the corner, holding the kitten, and watched Lanqi making cards with interest.

Although it was the first time she heard of the need for a magic weapon master to "have someone watching while making cards", she was still happy to do so if she could help Lanqi, or rather, she had originally planned to see what her own Son of God looked like when he was making cards.

To this day, she still remembers that when she first met Lanch in the Silent Branch Assessment of the Silent Knights of Helrom, she had already taken a liking to Lanch's work. Now, she would never be bored watching him sculpt, paint, or make magic props.

At the deepest part of the workshop, near the window, a thick silver magic-isolating velvet cloth was spread on the work surface, which was intended to reduce the interference of the magic facilities in the room on materials and tools. Under the warm yellow light, Lanci's shadow was projected around him, and his focused emerald green eyes reflected the magic tools in front of him.

To Lanqi's right hand side was a row of small glass bottles marked with scales, each bottle filled with liquid of different colors and heights. Those were the magic core liquids that he had personally refined and measured. As soon as he put down a bottle of freshly mixed magic core liquid, he immediately turned to his right hand side with ease and began to use the set of micro balances and a set of precise scale bottles to start a new mixing ratio.

“Why does he use so much material?”

Sid lowered his head in confusion and asked in a breath-like voice into the little black cat's ear.

She had also seen other card makers making cards.

Generally speaking, everyone prepares one set of materials to make a magic card.

Lanqi is like a canteen chef, preparing materials in batches of ten or twenty before making the cards.

"I don't understand, meow. Every time this guy makes a card, it seems like he's preparing to draw fifty times in a row. But his family seems to be quite rich, enough for him to make..."

Boss Cat also whispered to Sid.

Every time it stayed in Lanqi's dormitory and watched Lanqi make cards, he had a high probability of success in making sealing magic cards, and the spirit and light types were also okay. The success rate of other types of magic cards was basically terrible.

After thinking about it, Boss Cat decided to stop talking about this topic.

No matter how rich the Lanci family is, they are only wealthy civilians. Just from the few words it heard at Ikerit College, it knows that the Wilford Chamber of Commerce cannot withstand too much storm, and Sigrid, the cardinal of the Church of Resurrection, is an existence from another world.

If one day Father Lanqi saw Sigrid, who was suspected to be his daughter-in-law, coming to visit, Boss Cat couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.

“I see.”

Sid nodded and looked at Lanqi's figure again.

I saw that he was still carefully weighing the magic crystal powder with changing properties. Although the magic crystal used was of low rank, it was of extremely high purity. Lanqi gently poured in the required amount. Even a breeze could change the reading on the scale, but his movements were extremely delicate, ensuring that it was neither too much nor too little, and in one go.

"It's so skillful that it makes me feel distressed."

Sid commented quietly.

“…”

Boss Cat glanced at Sid and said nothing.

Lanqi slowly dripped the magic core liquid with concentrated magic power into the magic crystal powder. The moment the drop was added, the powder and liquid came into contact and a slight reaction occurred. The process of boiling and calming down was completed instantly, and it began to emit fluorescence. Then, he picked up the engraving pen and slowly poured the prepared magic ink into the pen tube until it was eight-tenths full, and then carefully sealed it.

After completing the process, he took out an exquisite translucent blank card, which was a necessary material for making magic cards. It could only be produced in the Shadow World, could carry fixed magic formulas, and ensure the durability of the card and the stability of its magic power.

In front of the workbench, Lanqi began to open several different low-level magic scrolls commonly used in the field of transformation and gently unfolded them. The symbols and patterns on them were faintly visible in dark blue lines on the light brown moonflower wood paper. He skillfully used a special carving knife and magic power to cut out the required parts. The metal made of special alloy can withstand and conduct high-intensity magic power. It is placed precisely at the predetermined position of the card, and he began to reprocess and reset the scroll-like compilation steps.

Magic circuit burning requires extremely high concentration and skills, but even though Lanqi was obviously doing a job that required great concentration, his breathing and heart rate never adjusted, as if he was just doing an ordinary job.

Even laymen like Sigrid and Boss Cat could see the difficulty of burning. The densely packed demonic magic words on the cards looked like ants crawling around. Even if they could see them clearly, they were unwilling to take a closer look.

Lanqi recorded the work calmly and didn't look like he thought he would fail at all.

Like a painter painting an old familiar piece.

Every stroke is swift and neat, yet extremely delicate.

This made Sid behind him look at Lanqi more solemnly.

Lanqi's temperament makes people feel that he is a great artist who has reached the pinnacle, and they even look forward to what kind of card he will make!

Dozens of seconds passed.

Accompanied by rising flames and a loud bang.

Exploded.

“It exploded so quickly.”

Sid sighed with her eyes wide open as the sparks dissipated.

Although her Son of God currently seems a bit wasteful and the operation is a bit confusing.

But in this case, the person is either an extremely conceited genius or an unrealistically ambitious fool.

She believed that her Son must be the former.

"It exploded again..."

The light barrier in the card-making workshop protected Lanqi from harm. Lanqi looked at the exploding magic card in his hand in a daze. It seemed that everything happened too suddenly, and even he himself did not react.

"Is that a scare to you?"

He turned back to apologize to Sid, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. I just like watching fireworks."

With a slightly happy smile in his eyes, Sid encouraged Lanqi.

Lanqi was slightly dazed, as if he was at a loss, or he got a completely different feedback from usual or expected.

It was not until a moment later that Lanqi finally came to his senses, lowered his eyes, and sighed with relief.

He never said again that Sid was an older woman who couldn't get married. She really was too well-off.

Sid frowned slightly.

But he just squeezed the cat boss in his hand a little tighter and said nothing.

Just like that, Lanqi turned around and continued making cards, and Sid continued to look at him with his chin in his hand.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but sparks burst out from time to time in the card-making workshop.

Despite the unexpected noises, the air in the room seemed particularly peaceful between them.

By dark, Lanci still hadn't made his target card.

Sid was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the chair with his eyes closed.

She seemed to be having a sweet dream, sleeping soundly and even snoring softly. The ordinary noises of failed card-making could not wake her up. Coupled with the noise between the tools, it was like a thunderstorm to her.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

“Meow.”

Boss Cat went to the guest room on the second floor to find a thicker blanket, and covered Sid with it using telekinesis magic.

Then it couldn't help but look at Lanqi worriedly.

It felt as if with Sid's presence, the Lanqi bombardment was happening even faster.

When I saw him making cards in the past, he would at least take a few more steps before making them. But now he seems particularly casual, as if he is playing with mud.

He wasn't even like the average card maker who would feel a little ashamed. He just smiled knowingly.

It can be seen that after completely letting go of the pressure, he was happy from the bottom of his heart and found the purest joy of card making.

It’s hard for Cat Boss to comment on whether the reverse buff that Sid added to Ranchi is good or bad.

It only knew that when Lanqi returned to the Southern Continent and Tata saw him making cards like this, his blood pressure would probably explode.

As the last ray of twilight on the horizon escaped from sight, only the stars were left quietly twinkling on the inky curtain. The world outside the room had sunk into the bottomless night. The outlines of starlight and moonlight were outlined between the gaps in the curtains of the card-making workshop.

The hands of the floor clock in the corner crossed the threshold of midnight, and every ticking sound was particularly clear in the workshop.

After a surprisingly long period of no sudden sounds in the workshop, a dazzling light finally emerged from the silence on one side of the workbench.

"Um……"

As if sensing the light, Sid opened his eyes slightly and raised his hands to rub his eyes.

She saw that not far away, the light was getting brighter and brighter until it went out, and Lanqi was holding a magic card surrounded by purple mist in his hand.

Sid quickly came to his senses and turned his attention to Lanqi.

"Hey, a rare purple magic card. No wonder the little black cat said you are so powerful."

Sid clapped his hands in admiration with great satisfaction.

It took about ten hours to produce a directional purple rare quality magic card. Although it was only level two, it was enough to prove its excellent level.

"Card maker is my profession."

Lanqi said that when he returned to the Southern Continent, most of his time would probably be occupied by improving his magic engineering skills. The Northern Continent was more free, with every day fulfilling and happy.

Boss Cat ignored Lanqi's words, jumped off the chair, and took a closer look at the card made by Lanqi.

It turned out to be a second-level spell [Transmutation: Human] that Ranci and Talia had already studied thoroughly.

However, this one is obviously a special version with directional changes in appearance.

"You went to all this trouble just to make a new vest?"

Boss Cat asked in surprise.

It did know that Lanci and Sid were short of new disguises, so much so that last time Lanci lent Sid the one he used to transform into Rocky McCarthy.

Lanqi smiled without saying anything, and just lightly touched the [Transformation: Human]. Then his figure became blurred and twisted. In the surprised eyes of the cat boss, when he became clear again, he had become the Son of Nirvana.

"Meow?!"

The cat boss was so scared that his hair stood up and he screamed and jumped into Sid's arms.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly realized that this was Lanqi, so it stuck its head out again to observe.

Lanqi, who was not far away, still had the same unique temperament. He did not take the role of the Son of Nirvana seriously.

But judging from the appearance, it can be said that it has become perfect! "... You captured someone and disguised yourself as someone else to get back with his companions... I don't know how to describe this evil creature."

The moment Sid saw Lanqi transform into the Son of Nirvana, she basically understood what he was going to do next, and she even couldn't comment on it.

All we can say is that he was born to be on the side of the Resurrection Church.

There is one more chapter, I will try to finish it before 12 o'clock 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
