362.Chapter 357 – Ranch Preparation’s Submissiveness

Chapter 357 – Ranchi’s Subdued Preparations

On the second floor of the Chinston City Lord’s mansion, in the classically decorated magic guide workshop, the time-washed brown wood carved out counters of staggered heights, and the junction runes engraved on their surfaces glowed with a breathless light.

Sid was sitting on a cushioned chair in the corner, holding a kitten and watching Ranch making cards with interest.

Although this was the first time she had ever heard of the need for a magician to be watched while making cards, she was happy to help Ranqi if she could, or rather she had planned to see what her own son looked like when he was making cards.

Even today, she still remembers that when she first met Ranch at the Silent Knights of Helm’s Silent Branch test, she had already taken a liking to Ranch’s work, and now whether it’s to watch him carve, paint, or make magical props, she won’t be bored.

The deepest part of the workshop was by the window, the worktable was covered with a heavy silver magic isolating velvet cloth, designed to reduce the interfering effects of the room’s magical amenities on the materials and tools, and under the warm yellow light, Ranch’s shadow was cast all around him, the magical implements ahead reflected in the emerald green pupils of his focused eyes.

Next to Ranchi’s right hand was neatly placed a row of tiny glass bottles marked with scales, each containing a different color and height of liquid, that was the magic core liquid that had been personally refined and measured by him, and he had just put down a bottle of freshly adjusted magic core liquid, he immediately turned to his right hand with a light touch and began to continue to use the set of miniature scales and a set of precise graduated bottles to begin a new mixing and proportioning.

“Why is he using so many ingredients?”

Cid asked in a breathless whisper in the little black cat’s ear as he looked down in puzzlement.

She had seen other card makers make cards, for the time being.

It was unusual for people to prepare a single material to make a magic deck once.

Ranqi, on the other hand, was like a cafeteria chef, preparing materials in portions of ten and twenty before making cards.

“I don t get it Meow, every time this kid makes cards it looks like he has to prepare fifty consecutive draws, but his family seems to be quite rich, enough for him to build ……”

Boss Cat also said quietly to Sid.

Every time it stayed in Ranch’s dormitory to watch Ranch make cards earlier, he had a high probability of succeeding except for making magic decks of the sealing category, and spirit and light and the like were okay, but the success rate of the rest of the categories was basically abysmal.

After thinking about it, Boss Cat still stopped the topic.

Ranqi’s family was no longer rich, but only to the extent of a commoner’s rich merchant, and just from the words it usually heard in the Icryptian Academy, it knew that that Wilford Chamber of Commerce couldn’t withstand too much of a storm, while Sigrid, who was the cardinal of the Church of the Resurrection, was an existence in another world.

In case one day Papa Ranch saw Sigrid, who was suspected to be his daughter-in-law, paying a visit to his home, Boss Cat didn’t dare to think what the picture would be.

“So.”

Cid nodded and looked over at Ranch’s figure again.

Only to see that he was still carefully weighing the magic crystal powder of changing attributes, the magic crystals used were low in rank but extremely pure, Ranchi gently poured in the required amount, obviously even the breeze blowing by could change the reading of the balance, but his movements were exceptionally delicate to ensure that it was not too much, not too little, and in place at once.

“So skillful it hurts.”

Sid commented quietly.

“……”

Boss Cat gave Cid a look and didn’t say anything.

Ranchi slowly dripped the magic core liquid that possessed concentrated magic power into the magic crystal powder, the moment he dripped it in, the powder came into contact with the liquid and reacted slightly, the process of boiling until it subsided was instantly completed and began to emit fluorescence, then he picked up the engraving pen and slowly injected the tuned magic ink into the barrel of the pen until it was about eight minutes full and carefully closed it up.

After completing the process, he took out a delicate translucent blank card, this is the material necessary for making magic decks, the only output from the Shadow World that can carry fixed magic spells and ensure the durability of the deck and the stability of the magic power.

In front of the workbench, Ranch began to open several different commonly used low-ranking magic scrolls of the change system, gently unfolded, the runes and patterns on them in deep blue lines on the light brown moonflower wood paper, he skillfully used a special carving knife and magic to begin to intercept the required parts, the metal made of special alloy can withstand and conduct high strength magic, precisely placed in the card’s intended location, began to reprocess the reset scrolls The usual compilation steps.

The burning of magic circuits requires a very high degree of concentration and skill, but even though Ranchi was obviously doing a job that required a lot of concentration, his breathing and heart rate never adjusted, as if he was just doing his job.

Even laymen like Sigrid and Boss Cat could see the difficulty of the recording, the Roach-like dense demonic language magic words on the card were like ants crawling around, they were unwilling to look at it even if they could see it clearly.

Ranchi burned lightly, looking nothing like he thought he would fail.

It was like a painter painting an old familiar work.

Every brushstroke was swift and sharp, yet delicate.

It made Syd behind him solemnize his attention on Ranch for a few moments.

This aura on Ranchi’s body only made people feel that he was a great artist who had reached the peak, and even looked forward to what kind of card he would produce!

After tens of seconds.

Accompanied by rising flames and a violent tremor.

It blew up.

“What a quick blast.”

Cid sighed as her eyes widened in the dissipating sparks.

Granted, her saintly son seemed a bit of a layabout at the moment, and the operation was a bit confusing.

But that was the case of either an extremely egotistical genius or an overly ambitious fool.

She was sure that her Saint Son must be the former.

“It blew up again ……”

The lightweight boundary in the card-making workshop protected Ranch from harm, and Ranch looked at the blown-up magic card deck in his hand with a bit of a daze, as if it had all come so suddenly that even he hadn’t reacted to it, and

“Scared you, didn’t I.”

He apologized back to Cid, looking a little embarrassed.

“It’s okay, I love watching fireworks.”

Cid said encouragingly to Ranch with a slightly pleased smile in his eyes. Ranch was slightly stunned, like being made whole wouldn’t, or he was getting a very different feedback than usual or expected.

It wasn’t until a few moments later that Ranch finally snapped back to his senses, lowered his eyes, and sighed in relief.

He would never again refer to Cid as an older woman who couldn’t marry; she was indeed too good in her own right.

Cid frowned slightly.

But just pinched the cat boss in his hand a little tighter and didn’t say anything.

With that, Ranch turned back to his card making and Cid continued to watch him with his chin in his hand.

There was no telling how much time passed, as sparks bloomed now and then in the card-making workshop.

Though there were always unexpected noises, the air in the room seemed extraordinarily peaceful between them.

As darkness fell, Ranch still hadn’t been able to make the card he was aiming for.

Cid was all sleepy and fell asleep in his chair with his eyes closed and passed on.

It was like she was dreaming beautifully, sleeping so soundly that she even made a slight snoring sound; the unusual motion of failing to make a card couldn’t wake her up, and with the noise between the tools, it was like being in a thunderstorm for her.

“Meow.”

Boss Cat went to the guest room on the second floor to find a thicker blanket and covered Cid with Nimble Magic.

Then it couldn’t help but look at Ranch worriedly.

It felt as if Ranchi was blowing up cards more rapidly with Cid around.

In the past, when I watched him blow up cards, he was at least able to craft a few more steps before blowing them up, but now he just seemed extra casual, like he was playing in the mud.

Even he wasn’t at all more or less ashamed like an unusual card maker, he only smiled heartily.

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

Boss Cat couldn’t comment on whether the reverse buff that Sid had added to Ranch was good or bad.

It only knew that when Ranqi returned to the southern continent and Tata saw him making cards in this way, his blood pressure would probably explode.

As the last trace of twilight in the sky fled from view, leaving only the stars quietly twinkling on the ink-colored curtains, the world outside the room had sunk into the bottomless night, and the outline of starlight and moonlight was 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 the echo of each tick was extraordinarily clear inside the workshop.

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

“Hmmm ……”

Seemingly sensing the light, Cid also opened his eyes slightly, raising his hand to rub them.

She saw that not far away, the light intensified until it was extinguished, and Ranch was holding a magic card that lingered with a dense purple color in his hand.

Cid quickly came to her senses and shifted her eyes to Ranch.

“Eh, a purple rare magic deck, no wonder the little black cat said you’re quite powerful.”

Cid clapped his hands in admiration with great satisfaction.

It took roughly more than ten hours to make a directed purple rare quality magic card deck, and although it was of the second rank, it was already enough to prove its excellent level.

“Card maker is my old profession.”

Ranqi said, when he returned to the southern continent, most of his time would be taken up by improving his skills in magic engineering again, I’m afraid, it’s still the northern continent that is free, every day is full and happy.

Boss Cat ignored Ranchi’s words and jumped down from the reclining chair, coming closer to look at the card Ranchi had made.

It turned out to be a second-order spell that Ranchi and Talia had long ago researched thoroughly [Change Spell: Human].

But this one was apparently another special version with a directional change in appearance.

“You went through all this effort just to build a new vest?”

Boss Cat asked in surprise.

It did know that Ranch and Cid lacked new disguises, so much so that the last time Ranch had lent the one he used to turn into Rocky McCarthy to Cid.

Ranch smiled without saying anything, and just lightly touched this [Change Art: Human], and then his figure became blurred and twisted, and when it became clear again under the Cat Boss’s astonished gaze, he had already become the appearance of the Silent Saint Son.

“Meow?!”

The Cat Boss was so scared that his fur stood up all over his body, and he screamed and jumped into Cid’s arms.

However, it thought carefully before it suddenly remembered that this was Ranch and poked its head out again to observe.

Not far away, Ranch’s aura was still as unique as ever, and he wasn’t playing the Silent Saint Son seriously.

But judging from the appearance, it could be said that it had become seamless!
“…… You captured someone else, and you can still disguise yourself as someone else to mix back with his companions …… I don’t even know how to describe this kind of evil being.”

Syd basically understood what Ranch was going to do next the moment she saw him turn into the Silent Saint Son, and even she wasn’t good enough to comment on it.

One could only say that he was born to be on the side of the Church of the Resurrection.
