“…… You'll make the most perfect magic card in the world in theory. ”

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

These two words exploded and rolled in Merlin's mind like thunder, and he stared at Teacher Ed's determined and fanatical dark green eyes in amazement, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

What is ...... called? I can make the most perfect magic cards in the world...... I'm going to be the greatest card maker in the world...... The boy muttered.

"A little bit of luck, it takes a little bit of luck to be the greatest card maker in the world. Ed said.

But just because I can't use magic cards, I can't touch the sea of magic...... The boy suddenly felt a little ridiculous, for many years, he had always felt that not being able to use magic cards was a curse, even after coming to the school to know the profession of [Fateful Mage] and the [Maureen Callander's Little Puddle of Magic] where he was, he never felt that this profession would bring him any help.

Except for the magic that can be stored in a small puddle.

But now, Mr. Ed told himself that he could make the most perfect magic card in theory, and even become the greatest card maker in the world, because he couldn't touch the sea of magic, because he couldn't use magic cards, and he could perfectly avoid the "backsurge damage" that occurred in the final stage of card making.

Can a guy who can't use magic cards become the world's greatest card maker......

It was too far away and too unreal, and Merlin's eyes finally began to focus, and he muttered a rather realistic question: "So...... Can I make money by making cards...... Can you earn 3,000 gold coins in three months......"

Ed Warrend raised half of his eyebrows: "Three thousand gold coins for three months...... That's still a bit difficult. ”

"After all, I can't pause in the middle of making high-level magic cards and leave the final structure to you, and I don't have any intention of making magic cards right now...... If you're on your own, you might be able to start crafting a Zero Ring magic card in a month with a little more effort. ”

Ed subconsciously folded his fingers and calculated: "Even if you can make cards that meet the requirements without being completely proficient because you avoid backsurge damage, but a zero-level card is worth a few gold coins after all, and the materials and cost of each card are removed, plus the scrap rate ......"

"Boy, you need to hurry. ”

"—what a chance?!" said Morin, in surprise.

"Hmm...... If you were as smart as I was, and more diligent than I was, and didn't spend most of your time bathing on the shores of the lake...... There should be a chance. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's start now!" said the young man excitedly, the card master or something is too far away, or the current professional tax of more than 3,000 can stimulate the young man's motivation.

"What to start?" it was Ed's turn to be stunned.

"Let's start class!" Morin listened with a pricked ear: "I'm ready, didn't I have to come to class in the evening, now that I have to hurry up, I won't eat dinner, let's start now!"

Ed squinted his eyes and glanced at the young man, and when he saw his serious appearance, he couldn't help but think of the time he wasted by playing pranks on the shore of the bathing lake, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "You have a big head hammer at first! Why don't you hit the tree! If you don't eat, don't I eat either!

"I don't know any etiquette! I have to tell Andre the next time I see him!" he said with a slap in his hand, which swept the boy by the head and feet and left the room.

"I was wrong, Mr. Ed! Don't complain to my grandfather! Otherwise, I'll go to the shopping street and buy a meal to bring to you in the evening, and I promise it will be hot when I bring it! And you haven't returned the card I made up! That's my first one—" Merlin's screams disappeared behind the door.

There was silence in the room.

"Isn't it just a card, and you didn't make it all yourself......" Ed muttered.

Having said that, he still kept looking at the gray-white flash card in his hand, his eyes were full of admiration, as if he was looking at some peerless treasure, and for a while, he sighed in an extremely narcissistic way: "It's still my vision is good, there is no backfill damage, how can the other old guys think of this layer, even if little Morin stands in front of them, they won't have a chance to see it." ”

But suddenly, his face turned pale and he coughed heavily.

"Whew......" Ed put down the card in his hand, closed his eyes and gasped for a moment, and finally his breathing was smooth again.

He looked down at the fingers of his right hand trembling slightly, a wry smile on his face, and let out a sigh of relief.

The card making room was empty, except for the lighting crystals, only the magic channels on some magic machines flickered with a dim light, Ed looked at the empty card making room pitifully and said, "Since you haven't gone to the Holy King's Capital yet, come out and help me......"

There were no changes in the room.

Ed had to lengthen his tone: "-Ann-Na?"

"Teacher Anna——? Professor Anna——? dear Ann——? little Nana—"

Anna Koo finally appeared in front of Ed, wearing a dark green wide-brimmed hat and a cloak over her robe, dressed as she was about to go out.

"How...... You want to use such a shoddy method to deceive me into sympathy?" Anna Gu dusted off her cloak, and her face flushed with a rare flush: "Or are you ready to sincerely apologize and admit your mistake to me." ”

Ed smiled bitterly: "It's not to lie to you sympathy...... It's really time to change. ”

"What?" Anna Gu looked up at Ed's outstretched fingertips, and her voice tightened, "Why is it so fast?!Didn't you say that you won't have to replace it until next month?"

There was a hint of panic in her voice.

"How can it be so accurate," Ed smiled, "after all, no one has experience in this field." ”

"Let's help me change it first, it will be a bit of a problem if I don't have the help of the magic tower alone. He said.

Anna Goo pursed her lips and nodded.

Ed smiled again, his left hand stroking his angular face, the pale skin peeled away like paper, from the jaw over the bridge of his straight nose to the dark green right eye, revealing the metal mesh frames beneath the skin, pale air masses tumbling and wriggling in the dark golden grid, as if alive struggling to rush out.

And there were three obvious damages on the metal grid, and the metal frame seemed to have been corroded by something, and half became very thin, leaving a huge mesh, in which the pale air flow gathered into a large tumbling conflict, which looked very hideous.

Anna Goo's neck trembled, and she lowered her head and buried her eyes under the brim of her hat.

"If you do that every time, I won't ask you for help anymore. Ed's netted face moved, and his voice seemed relaxed, and there might be a smile on the corner of his mouth judging by the pull of the grid.

"My little Nana doesn't always shed tears in front of me. ”

Anna Gu took a deep breath, raised her head high and sniffed, and exhaled that breath with a slight tremble, her face flushed, and finally she bit out a sentence from between her teeth: "The first gift your little Nana received was fake. ”

"Hey......" Ed sneered, but his cheeks looked a little weird, and only a little sparkling cunning and embarrassment could be seen in his dark green right eye.

"Hey, hey, if you want to change it, change it quickly, I'm going to the Holy King's Capital in the evening to attend a scholar's conference on the magic tide. Anna Goo said angrily, taking off her broad hat and moving her shoulders to mana to tie her hair together.

Ed's left hand lit up with a light green light, and lightly touched the face of his metal grid, and the wriggling and tumbling air masses in the grid suddenly became violent, like a swarm of sharks smelling blood began to violently pound the metal frame.

A flash of pain flashed in his eyes, and his left hand somehow snapped, a thin slit between the metal mesh and the little skin that was left of him part, and some dark red blood stained the edges of the grid.

In an instant, the boiling pale air mass seemed to break through the restraints and scatter out.

Anna Goo's body suddenly fluctuated with magical power.

She spread her arms, and a solemn and vast aura poured in from all directions, as if the history of the four eras of Todel had been condensed in this card room, from the ancient scholar mage of Ission holding up the first blazing fire on the ice field to Princess Electephya lighting the beacon of Antar in the vast sea in the afterglow of the Griffon Empire, from the light moonlight on the Firmament Peak to the graceful flute sound in the forest of Mees, from the eternal cold wind of the eternal winter ice field to the eternal scorching fire of the western sand sea.

Everything that is witnessed, everything that is handed down, everything that is traceable.

History, years, mountains and mountains, descended in this magic tower, condensed around the bodies of the two.

Under the setting sun, the magic tower on the snowy peak trembled slightly, and the silver tree ornament surrounding the tower began to light up from the roots, and the dazzling silver rays rose along the roots, illuminating every elegant branch and every light leaf. At the top of the tower, the magic vortex in the center of the four spires that pointed to the sky turned faster and faster, and the small light became brighter and brighter, like a sky full of stars gathering in one side.

In the card room, the boiling pale air mass on Ed's face gradually subsided, returning to its original state and squirming.

With a light green light on his hand, he slowly removed the corroded metal grid frame, and slowly took out a dark gold intact frame, his movements were as slow as an old man in his last years, and he looked very struggling, and the huge aura of the magic tower not only oppressed the pale air mass in the torn wound, but also pressed his already broken body.

Anna Goo's gaze showed a hint of unbearability.

But she didn't let go of her outstretched arms, and the stronger and stronger magic fluctuations began to clash around her, and a magical enchantment lit up under her feet, and the diffuse magic flowed through the brown magic enchantment between her body and the magic tower, as if she were one with the entire magic tower.

It seemed like an entire epoch had passed, and Ed had finally squeezed the new metal mesh into his wound, a pale air mass, a pale green glow flickering, and there was no longer a single crack in the edge of the metal and flesh connection.

The majestic aura of the magic tower dissipated, and the pale air mass tumbled again, tearing at the dark gold metal frame.

Ed stroked his face with his left hand, and a layer of skin completely covered the metal mesh and pale air mass, and no longer the slightest breath escaped, once again turning into an extremely handsome face.

He smiled perfectly.

Anna Gu stared at the recovered face in front of her, but couldn't help but sigh.

The huge aura dissipated, her figure looked a little thin, she took a step closer, gently pressed her forehead against Ed's chest, and murmured a little weakly: "Now that even Poklaya's life alloy can't support it for two months, what should I do next......

Ed untied her bun and smiled: "It's just a life alloy, where is this, there are more better materials, I went to the Thousand Mountains Dragon Cliff for a while, I haven't been to 'visit' for more than thirty years, I think those old dragons should have gotten a lot of good things." ”

"Don't worry, for Alice's sake, how can I hold on for a few more years. ”

"Besides, I finally accepted such a talented student, and he is still the son of Little Pike, why should I teach him for a few more years, otherwise if he is bullied in the future, won't it make me very faceless......"

……

……

The days passed unhurriedly, but for Maureen they seemed extraordinarily tight.

In order to earn the professional tax of 3,400 gold coins, he really practiced magic card making desperately, although Master Ed is not very reliable in other aspects, but after all, he is a well-known master in the field of card making, since he said that he can accumulate enough gold coins by making magic cards in three months, it must be a great hope.

He may not be as smart as Mr. Ed, but he can at least be diligent and not bad.

In addition to attending classes every day, he spent almost all of his time learning card-making related content, pondering how to use a melting knife to cut meat when eating, and how to melt and carve a cut of the same shape as the road when he walked.

Of course, sweat pays off.

The boy quickly mastered several basic methods of condensing the Melting Knife, as well as the structural model of each component of the zero-tier magic card, and his unique memory ability still brought great help in this regard.

For zero-tier cards, the structure of the essential auxiliary parts is not at all simpler than the spell model of the main magic, and even the overall structure of individual parts such as the magic activation part is much more complex than the normal zero-ring magic.

Dealing with this dizzyingly complex model structure is always solved by books: first go to the library to find a magic book with a complete and detailed explanation, then sleep in it, and then spend some time understanding the model structure imprinted in their minds (others seem to be in a daze).

It's just that the mental power is not strong enough now, and he still has to sleep a lot to read this kind of magic book, the boy thought with some discontentment, and it took more than half a month of sleep time in total to finally figure out the auxiliary part of the zero-level card.

Teacher Ed gave a so-so assessment of this as usual, and agreed to let the boy start the fusion carving practice.

There's one more thing to do before you can start crafting magic cards—choosing what magic cards you want to make. Although the flash technique is the most practical one for the teenager, the practicality is not in the consideration at this time, and the gold coin is the most important thing at the moment - no matter how practical the card is, it will not sell at a good price or the profit is not high, and it will be in vain.

Tax-weighed Morin has become like a money-obsessed little vampire, and the only thing he wants to see when he opens his eyes is shiny gold coins.

What kind of magic should you choose as your first magic card? Illumination for lighting, resistance to dust and rain and snow, scale magic that can make a standard sound, and illusions or something......

After thinking about it, the boy realized that his biggest advantage now was not that he could avoid backsurge damage compared to other Tier 0 card makers—even without backsurge damage, the cards he had just started making would not be better than those skilled card makers.

His greatest strength is his ability to memorize "stay overnight".

This meant that he could make some lesser-known magic cards that other card makers didn't want to take the time to learn.

These magic cards tend to be in low demand, and while they're a little more expensive than usual, few card makers want to make them because they don't have a lot to buy and can't trade for long. For low-level card makers, learning a spell model of Zero Ring Magic can be quite strenuous, in short, the time cost is too high to be cost-effective.

But I don't have such a high time cost, and in the words of Aeno, I can expand a lot of profit margins.

Let's start with the lesser-known magic cards!

After choosing the direction and flipping through the list of magic cards in the shops on the shopping street for a long time, Merlin's eyes lit up and he finally found a suitable target - Zero Ring Magic [Food Purification]. 10
