Chapter 114.Chapter 114 – Ranch’s Ordinary Seal System Deck
Chapter 114 – Ranchi’s Normal Sealing System Deck
The talks area on the third floor of the Ichorite Card Maker Association.
Even indoors, the lilting bells of the Twelve Strikes Clock Tower could be heard ringing from the Houghton Pedestrian Plaza.
The dark brown wooden floor was flooded with the harsh midday sunlight, and the towering dome with its log beam structure revealed the natural and primitive feeling unique to the Houghton Kingdom.
On the far side of the leather sofa and coffee table on the carpet, the circular wall separating the meeting area was projecting the image of the Certified Card Maker Examination.
It was now two and a half hours after the start of the exam.
Some candidates have already used up their five chances and are sorry to leave the room.
There were also candidates who had already completed two to three finished products and were even continuing to try to produce higher quality magic cards to improve their scores.
Beside the coffee table, Sophia, the Count’s daughter, was still sitting beside Prince Aenor, and the two of them were still the same as always, but the distance seemed to be slightly closer.
Huberian, on the other hand, was sitting on the single sofa on the other side, looking relieved and cozy.
The three of them had been here watching the Certified Card Maker Exam.
Since it was a rotating broadcast, it was only occasionally that they could see Ranchi’s screen.
The backstage staff of the Card Maker Association would give cutaways of the footage at critical moments such as when a candidate was about to finish making a card.
After all, the most exciting thing was nothing more than the moment when the card was made or the card blew up.
“If you’re pursuing a success rate, you want to make three out of five chances, just go for the white normal level for all of them.”
Sophia couldn’t help but shake her head as she looked at a card that had just blown up on the screen.
“Yeah, even though it’ll end up being set at the starting Iron level, it’ll at least pass the exam.”
Huberian also sighed.
Soon, the screen shifted, and the guide cut to a Holy Teaching and Research Society candidate who was about to encapsulate and finalize his magic deck.
He was in the process of creating a composite type magic deck with a mixture of light and holy attributes, and was currently about to complete the penultimate step.
In people’s line of sight, the young card maker, dressed as a trainee cleric, had already carefully inscribed the magic power carrier on the smooth card base, stamping the glowstone powder that activated the light attribute magic, forming a frame like a shackle to firmly fix the magic power in the magic deck.
Then, he began to proceed to the last and most important step, that is, the final debugging process.
His eyes were focused, and the strokes of his hand were unceasing, skillfully interconnecting several magical engravings, forming a complete circle of magical energy, which would allow the magical deck to recharge after the magic power was depleted, and thus be used again.
During this process, he needed to both ensure that each magical structure functioned correctly when activated, and avoid conflict with other structures. In the event of a mistake, the deck would simply collapse, and even under certain irregularities, it could lead to a violent explosion.
His brows were locked and he was fully focused.
Finally, in this pressure-filled moment, a magic deck managed to stabilize under the light, and one could clearly see the azure blue halo flowing endlessly on the deck.
There was a burst of compliments from the floor that had already been bustling with activity.
The blue-quality halo emanating from the card proved that he was very skilled.
Because making cards on the spot in the exam was not the same as making cards in normal times.
In the usual card making, there was plenty of time for material selection and preparation, and there was no need to consider the success rate so much.
Being willing to give up aiming for the safest white normal quality and pursuing a higher quality finished card is in itself a great confidence in one’s own skills.
“This guy’s level is fine, if he made three blue precious, or that combination of one purple, one blue and one white or something like that, it would all be set to bronze level.”
Aenor commented.
Although his direction of study at the Academy of Magical Engineering was not card making, he, who often came to the Card Maker Association to watch, almost knew what kind of magical decks he made would be set to which level.
The better the quality of all the finished cards made in the exam, the higher the surplus promotion points would be even if they were graded to the same level.
At the same time, the display of the finished card from earlier appeared on the screen:
[Holy Light Sanction]
[Category: Spell Card
[Grade: Blue Precious]
[Class: 3
[Effect: Inflicts light-attribute group damage, attacks beings in the camp of the Evil Gods, inflicts an additional 100% Holy Spirit Judgment damage, cooldown time 30 seconds].
[Remarks: Holy Light will purify your mind!
Sometimes through this kind of display, candidates were able to quickly sell cards made and not used by themselves right after the exam, and there were also candidates who performed well who received orders and commissions on the spot.
“If you carry this kind of magic card deck all over your body, it will be very useful to go and target the extermination of evil spirits, so you can hit the reanimated believers who have fallen deep enough, and even more so to hit the vast majority of Demons and Bloods with direct effect.”
“It’s effective against Demons, but it’s hard enough to fight Bloods because they can’t be beaten at all, but we won’t be able to meet them.”
Even while sitting in the meeting area, one could hear the conversations of the pedestrians passing by on the aisle.
There were very few Demons in the Southern Continent, the Demon Kingdom was originally in the Northern Continent before its demise, and the Blood Clan were all mysterious and hidden individuals.
Against the Blood Race, it was almost only possible to seal them without being able to kill them.
Their only weakness was also that they would be weakened during the day.
At night, they are the masters of all and unrivaled.
That’s why Huberian understood why the opening words of the Purgatory Cloister Academy at that time mentioned the background of the times, which was that at night humans were all slaves of the Bloods, because even the Demon Race didn’t dare to fight hard against the Bloods at night.
In their heyday, no race could do anything about the Bloods.
“Ugh, it’s not bad, but unfortunately it’s just not very useful for people like us who live in Houghton’s royal capital all year round.”
Aenor sometimes bought some cards, but wasn’t really interested in this one.
He could neither see the Bloods, nor would he fight the Demons, and as for the Cultists, they were not yet afraid to come to the royal capital, where High Magister Loren was present, to cause trouble.
“Then you don’t even need to look at this guy’s card, the [Holy Light Warhammer] and [Holy Light Apostle] from the same series both have similar effects.”
Sofia had already seen this candidate’s purpose of card making, he must be preparing to make three of the same series, to be able to best keep his hand and stability while playing what he was good at to the limit, and steadily jumping straight to Bronze level.
“I actually like the Ranch-made decks ……”
Aenor said, and couldn’t help but express his appreciation for Ranch again.
Before the words ended, the screen just happened to cut back to Ranchi, who the three of them were focusing on today. It seemed that due to the guide’s judgment of prioritizing the quality of the cards, the main picture just now was given to the candidate who had completed the blue-quality magic deck, and by the time it switched to Ranchi’s side, he had already made the magic deck.
Displayed on the screen was the result of its appraisal-
[Cartoon Mask]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Grade: White Common]
[Class: 3]
[Effect: Equip the summoned object to harmonize the vicious image and make it cute] [Effect: Equip the summoned object to harmonize the vicious image and make it cute]]
[Remarks: The stand-up drawings have been adjusted for you.]]
“What kind of strange card is this?”
“Never seen it before, I guess it will be recorded as a patent for him by the Association.”
Often, there were also candidates who made new-style magic cards that hadn’t been recorded by the Association at the registration exam.
Ranchi’s card was of low grade, but it had a strange effect that sparked some minor debate every time.
“What a mind-blowing card!”
Prince Aenor couldn’t help but exclaim, seemingly eager to buy it and try it out on his own summons and those of his friends.
It caused both Sophia and Huberian to look at each other with expressions of bemusement.
What did it mean that others made blue precious to hide their decadence, while Ranch made white ordinary to show off his mastery.
This prince is too biased, if he becomes the king in the future, I’m afraid it won’t be the Iron Blood Paulan faction.
However, this card made by Ranqi does have a little meaning.
It might be used more as a life magic or entertainment magic card deck.
Of course, sometimes it might be kinda messing with your mind if you force your enemy’s particularly fierce and handsome dragon into a cute style baby dragon is all.
So far.
Ranch had made three systems and thirty percent.
Although he had made all white normal and mediocre sealing system magic decks, there was also a certain amount of luck involved.
But it could be seen that this guy’s level of adaptation to sealing magic was already high to a terrifying degree.
Of the two cards made earlier, there was also one that Aenor wanted very much.
[Little Love Doll]
[Category: Summoning Card]
[Grade: White Common]
[Class: 3
【Effects: Seals and weakens the target’s emotions by singing weakly, stabilizing its mind]]
【Remarks: Ai will heal you】【Remarks: Ai will heal you】【Remarks.
A cute version of the Big Love Poet’s doll.
All in all, it’s just cute and makes you want to buy one to keep at home and listen to her sing.
Even Hubert Leanne was wondering what to ask for, and approached Ranch to get one, and she wanted it too.
Instead, Ranch’s best spell card was done rather casually, as if he just wanted to mix up a passable guarantee first.
[Praying?
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: White Common]
[Class: 3]
[Effect: Seal the target’s eyeballs for 1 second, cooldown time: 30 seconds]]
[Remarks: Darling, guess who I am.]]
Aside from the strange name and remarks, it belongs to the common sealing magic on the market.
However, it seems to be a bit different from “Seal vision for 1 second”, as it seems to be able to seal other people’s pupils as well.
Many of the candidates would simply end the exam after three successful attempts.
It’s better to make cards on the spot in an exam environment than to find a moment when you’re ready and make a magic deck.
However, looking at the flash of images, Ranch had no intention of quitting.
Ranch was going to continue making cards.
“Is he planning to make three white normal bowls from the start before trying to make high quality to pull up the rating?”
Sofia asked suspiciously.
This kind of strategy was usually rarely used.
This was because card makers with a success rate of 40% in five systems, or 50% in five systems, simply didn’t need three white ordinary guarantees.
By virtue of their skill in card making naturally, they could also make even better magic decks.
“I don’t know.”
Huberian shook her head.
Ranch had told her in the original chat that the card-making idea was that it would be a stabilizing effort to do white quality on equipment, with higher-quality attempts at summoning and spell cards.
But Ranchi had actually changed his card-making strategy temporarily, and Huberian didn’t know why he had a new idea.
