Chapter 169: Treasure and Fanaticism

Did it work...... Maureen's eyes were still closed.

Judging by Clio's screams, it must have been a success......, right? It turns out that I can really make magic cards...... But why didn't the spell model cast the light when the fusion was completed, and because I couldn't use magic cards......

He slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look behind him, and was very happy to see Cleo's red eyes.

Look at Emino again, the little vampire is making a triumphant gesture to himself.

"Whew-" The boy breathed a sigh of relief, and finally the magic puddle showed mercy to his subordinates, and did not continue to pit me in the field of card making, thank you so much, thank you for the blessing of the old man of the moon god, and thank you for the ancestors of the Karland family......

Because he was not very familiar with the [Flash Technique], the magic power cast by Aeno was not great, and Clio himself was already a second-order professional, but it didn't take long to recover from the Flash Technique, but the red eyes and tears on his face couldn't hide it.

After all, there is still some price to be paid for staring at a flash technique with wide eyes.

Knowing that he had made a joke, Clio didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he casually pulled his belongings and put them in his bag and left the classroom, glaring at Merlin a few times unwillingly before leaving, but his red and swollen eyes really didn't feel threatening.

Maureen felt that he should not meet him again in this class.

"Okay, class!" Ed felt that the time was almost up, and announced, "All the students who have succeeded in the carving can bring back the magic card as a memento, and all the students who have failed can also bring back the waste card as a testimony of your failure...... Seniors should not be proud, and junior students should not be discouraged......"

Both Merlin and Marcus succeeded in completing magic cards, while Aeno failed once, having a void card and a successful card. The three of them sorted out their things and prepared to return to the dormitory with their "loot".

"Maureen will go back with me. Ed said.

The boy paused, and before he could answer, the next moment he found himself standing at the door of Anna Goo's magic tower, shivering with the cold wind blowing above the snowy peak.

"It's not okay to be so weak and weak. Ed said with a sigh.

Even if Barron doesn't give you a shiver to get it from the warm lakeside to the snowy peak, Morin sneered.

"Oh?!Don't believe it, your Kadir friend from the Eternal Winter Ice Plain wouldn't have been shivering by the wind if I had suddenly come up from the bottom of the mountain, but he was a Kadir and his body was much better than yours. Ed said suddenly.

"Ah——?h......h Teacher, you just used mind magic?!"

"You just used mind magic! Don't make a fuss, you want others to see how much shame I face!" Ed said dissatisfied: "You are just like your father, and your face is less than fifty percent of your father's, why don't you have all the thoughts written on your face and still use mind magic?"

"Little Pike suspected that I had used my psychic magic and spent a lot of energy finding a demon repellent to wear on my body, but it turned out ...... hum," Ed smirked twice, not knowing what had happened.

"Teacher, why did you just bring me here, didn't you say that I would come back to you in the evening to make up for the lesson?" Morin decisively digressed the subject, preventing Ed from embarrassing things in the next thirty mils, such as how Ed liked to bring up how he punched Baron Pike's ass in the first place and made him cry.

"Isn't that exciting!, where can I wait for the evening?" replied Ed, pulling Merlin and walking towards the magic tower.

"Hey, I said why are you always excited, let's explain it first, otherwise my heart as a junior will be empty. ”

"Come in with me and you'll understand!"

In Professor Anna's Magic Tower, Master Ed couldn't "teleport" like he did just now, so he dragged Merlin all the way to the fifth floor of the Magic Tower, walked through the long passage behind the metal door, and the two fell to Ed's residence.

This is the room where Morin first met Master Ed, and it is also the room where Ed was in the class last year, this is a fairly professional magic card making room, several large workbenches are placed with different styles of machinery and tools, and the cabinets around the room are full of blank crystal cards and magic materials.

When he came here, Ed let go of the boy, and he walked quickly to one of the black iron ** machines placed on the ground.

"Magic cards. Ed waved at Morin's body.

Merlin only felt a wave of magic fluctuating in his pockets, trousers, pockets, and even the inside.

"Hey, where did you put the cards in the kid? Could it be that they were put in the rune title page so quickly? Ed didn't find the target, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Isn't it just a zero ring magic, look at your expensive ones and put them on the rune title page, if you can make high-level cards in the future, see where you put them." ”

"Isn't this the first magic card I've ever completed, but of course it's going to be a keepsake......," Merlin muttered, summoning the gray [Flash] he had just completed in class from the title page of the rune and handed it to Ed.

"I said, Mr. Ed, do you remember the first card you made, didn't you keep it safe?"

The young man asked casually, but he didn't expect Ed to slow down when he heard this question, and then touched his chin and fell into memory: "Hmm...... It was a pretty useful card, and of course I wanted to keep it safe, but it didn't ...... Ahem, ahem. ”

Maureen noticed that Ed's clean cheeks suddenly flushed with a hint of redness.

This aroused the young man's curiosity, and he kept asking, "The first card you made at that time must have been Zero Ring Magic, right? What kind of cards can be quite useful in Zero Ring Magic? Could it be Flash Magic? But what happened later?"

In his cognition, the best magic of the zero ring should be the flash technique, and if the magic used to run away is not practical at a critical time, what magic is practical?

"Heh, I know how to run away with little Pike," Ed said disdainfully, and then a look of sublime appeared on his face, and he puffed out his chest, "Let me tell you, the card I made at the time was an illusion card that simulates the scene of a large meadow......"

"What's the use of simulating a meadow......

"At that time, the water supply system in the academy was broken, and the bathroom couldn't be used or anything, and the girls who didn't like to use the cleaning enchantment would run to the small lake in the forest to bathe and swim, and there was a large meadow by that small lake, and my illusion was to simulate the scene of that meadow......"

"Uh......" The boy's face darkened, but he still asked curiously, "Where did that card go after that......"

"I don't blame Raymond's stupid bear for being so big! One time when we were using it, we accidentally saw through it by some of the older girls, and they beat us up and forced me to hand over the card and destroy it. Ed's face was full of grief and mourning: "That was the first magic card made by Master Ed in his life, how collectible and valuable, it was ruined by those unreasonable, violent, and bad girls." ”

"Ahem, Mr. Ed......" Morin whispered.

"Don't interrupt me, let me mourn for a while, don't you say I forgot my baby card......"

"Ahh

“…… I haven't figured out that stupid bear for so many years, and you said that if that card was still there at the time, it would sell for a few digits if it was auctioned? Maybe it could be compared to the famous works of other card makers, but it was a pig's head......

"Professor......" Morin's voice was already crying.

"What's wrong with you? Are you moved by my extraordinary talent and noble pursuit? That illusion magic is really complicated, but I chose it as my first magic card from the beginning, and I don't know how many times I failed before I succeeded! Ed said leisurely.

He glanced at Morin and said unhappily: "Where do you look, even if you are moved by my talent and cry, you have to look at me, do you understand the most basic etiquette, why look behind me-oh-oh-woo-"

After a series of strange sounds and finally turning to crying like Morin, Ed's body seemed to be petrified, and it took a lot of effort to slowly turn his head.

"Ann, Anna!" Ed's voice was worse than crying.

"You, didn't you go to the Divine King's Capital, what, how could you be in the magic tower......"

"Hello Professor Anna!" said Merlin, bowing his head and trembling, not daring to look into Anna Gou's eyes.

At this time, the boy only felt that the card making room was full of danger and murderous intent, and desperately recalled in his mind the escape skills that Baron Pike had taught him, but no matter how he searched his mind, he couldn't find a way to escape from the magic tower of a great magician who was about to go berserk.

"So......" said Anna Goo, in a cold voice,

"The magic card that blocked the door of my dorm room on my fifteenth birthday and forced it into me, the one you called 'the first magic card Ed Warlund ever made', the [Flash Card] that you called 'the most useful magic card' and 'the magic card that you could use to run away at a critical moment......"

“…… Is it fake?"

Morin was happy in his heart, and he dared to say to Anna that the flash technique was the most practical zero-level magic card, and the reason was the same, and it could be used to run away at a critical time.

Maybe my dad learned it from Mr. Ed, but my grandfather and his old man said they never used this kind of "technique".

In his heart, the young man suddenly felt a wave of killing intent from Ed pass in front of him, and quickly tightened his face to prevent the smile from being revealed, although Ed was his teacher, but at a critical time, he had to draw a line with him so as not to be innocent by Professor Anna.

"Where!" Ed said tremblingly, "How can that joke be the first card I made, and that [Flash Card] is......!

"So ......," ignoring Ed's words, Anna Goo continued to ask in a cold voice:

"When I was in second grade...... You and that stupid bear are the culprits behind the bathing lake prank that is making a lot of noise in the academy?"

"No, never!" Ed began to sniffle, "That must have been done by someone from the Troublemakers Alliance!"

"Heh, heh, hehe......" Anna Gu sneered.

"Ha, ha, ha......" Ed laughed dryly.

"If only it had been thirty years ago......" Anna sneered.

"I'll immediately turn into a pink Leather Pig and go to the forest to kneel on the magic washboard and confess to the moon god!" said Ed without hesitation.

"Hmph......" Anna Gu stared at Ed with a murderous gaze, and finally snorted coldly before disappearing.

Call...... Ed wiped the beads of sweat from his head and glanced at Maureen meaningfully.

The young man's heart froze, and he hurriedly raised his hand and swore that "I didn't hear anything just now, I didn't remember anything, and I won't say anything in the future, I don't know what the strange words of the magic washboard and this means......"

Regarded as picking up a small life, Morin admired his wit in his heart.

"As the old saying goes, idle talk misleads oneself and misleads the country, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me. Ed sighed with palpitations: "Come on, come on, it's safer to do the right thing!"

With his backhand, he slipped the gray and white card that Merlin had carved into the metal machinery beside him.

"Morin, you know there's a word in the card making world called [Mana Conversion], right?" Ed asked.

The boy nodded: "I've seen it in the book, but I don't understand it very well." ”

"The so-called mana conversion rate is how much of the mana we expend when we use magic cards is actually used to cast magic, and how much is consumed by other meaningless structures or impurities. For example, when high-level magic cards are used, because they need to be infused with too much mana, they can't be fully used to compose magic, and the remaining part of the magic often causes the cards to become very hot. Ed patted the metal machinery beside him.

"This magic machine is used to measure the magic conversion rate of magic cards. ”

"Measure the magic conversion rate of foil cards...... Does this make any sense......" Maureen was a little confused.

"Don't worry, don't worry, if I'm not mistaken...... There should be a surprise......" Ed finally showed a little patience at this time, which belonged to the two hundred years old: "Didn't I tell you earlier that you can't use magic cards, maybe it's a gift, especially in magic card making. ”

Morin pursed his lips noncommittally, there were too many things that Teacher Ed had said, and most of the others were not very reliable.

"You'll find out later," Ed said he didn't bother with the boy.

He took out another gray-white magic card, which was also a zero-tier flash card.

"This is a magic card I made myself, all the parts of it are completed by my own hands, it can be said that the card you finished with the one you finished is only the last [Ring Basic Resonance] is slightly different, I think the ring structure I melt is a little smoother and more stable than yours. ”

Morin nodded in agreement: "So ......?"

"The mana conversion rate of a normal zero-tier magic card is about 80 percent, which means that if you import a hundred fars (mana units) of mana, then there are actually only about eighty fars of mana used to cast magic, and a full twenty fars of mana will be wasted. ”

"And the conversion rate of this batch of Zero Ring magic cards I made myself is about ninety, you don't know much about it now, but it's already an extremely high number," Ed said with some pride, "If you import a hundred Fars of mana, you will have ninety Fars of magic to cast spells, in other words, if you also need eighty Fars of magic to activate, you now only need less than eighty-nine of Fars of magic to unleash." ”

"Isn't that equivalent to an increase of about ten percent in one's magic capacity?" Morin suddenly understood: "It can even be said that the power of magic has increased by a whole percent!"

In the field of magic analysis, the improvement of basic magic is often measured in the unit of one thousandth or even one ten-thousandth of the power, and how valuable it should be to enhance one percent for today's magic, no wonder the status of the card master is so respected, there is no need to compare high-level cards to open such a big gap in low-level cards.

Ed nodded.

"But," he said, turning his head to look at the glowing magic machine, his eyes full of surprise, "the magic conversion rate of this card you made up is ......"

"Ninety-five percent. ”

"Why are the cards I made up so high?!" Morin was startled.

"Do you remember Wang Deer's explanation that you can't use magic cards and basic wands?"

"Remember, Professor Wang Del said that because I can't connect to the Sea of Mana, I can't make the magic cards and basic wands resonate with the Sea of Mana, so I can't use magic cards. Maureen replied.

"And do you know why the cards I made with my own hands only had a 90 conversion rate?"

Maureen shook his head.

"Aside from some structural imperfections, the most important reason is that the moment they are completed, the magic card resonates with the sea of magic and pours into the magic power, which, if left unchecked, tends to trigger the spell model in the card, but even if it is controlled," said Ed:

"These mana and resonance will still damage the structure of the magic card, because the magic card is in the most vulnerable state at the moment of completion, and the damage caused by the resonance and backsurge magic of the sea of magic will cause flaws in the structure, reducing the mana conversion rate, which is the biggest problem faced by high-level card makers, called backsurge damage. ”

"Inevitable backsurge damage. ”

"And you," I saw Ed's dark green eyes flashing with satisfaction and pride, and there was a faint hint of fanaticism: "Because you can't touch the sea of magic, the card you made up in the class just now didn't resonate with the sea of magic at that moment, and if there was no magic backsurge, it didn't release light, and there was no backrush damage." ”

"The magic cards you made didn't have backsurge damage. ”

He stared at Maureen and said word by word:

"This means that if you keep going, you'll make the best magic card in the world in theory, with a little bit of luck......"

“…… You'll be the world's greatest card maker. ”
