After a while, the head maid took Roland to the bedroom on the fourth floor of Alfred Manor.

When Roland came up the stairs, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

As the chief maid lit the oil lamp on the wall, the fire lit up all around.

With a snort, the dazzling light of the fire immediately lit up from the oil lamp on the wall, slowly dispelling the darkness that enveloped the surroundings.

When I looked closely, I saw a spacious hall with shelves filled with objects and books of all kinds, which seemed to be from the Marquis de Alfred's collection.

It seems that the Marquis of Alfred has a wide range of hobbies.

"At that end, Mr. Baron...... It's your bedroom. ”

The maid took two steps forward, pointed to the only door at the end of the passage, and said.

For some reason, when she spoke, the head maid's face looked a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you...... But is there only one room here? ”

Roland asked suspiciously, looking around.

Because after some observation, there was only one door in the entire fourth floor, and the hall where they were standing, which must have seemed too strange.

"Yes, this is the floor that Marquis Alfred specially built, and when he was alive, he usually wouldn't let anyone enter here."

"Hmm...... I see. ”

Hearing the maid's explanation, Roland seemed to have something in his mind.

Usually people don't let people enter the fourth floor, so it means that there must be some secret hidden here.

It's just that his memory of this place is very vague, and he can't think of any relevant clues at all. The only thing I could think of was the distorted realm.

But that distorted realm, that's the second floor below.

What is hidden here?

"If you need anything, Mr. Baron, you can command me again, good night! …… By the way, Mr. Baron, if you can, I would like to ask you to keep what is here. ”

Just as Roland was thinking, the head maid beside him bowed slightly, then turned and walked down the stairs.

But before she could take two steps, she seemed hesitant to whisper a strange word.

"Absolutely...... Good night. ”

For the head maid's request, Roland immediately agreed.

After all, these collectibles and other things are not in the way here, and maybe there are some secrets hidden in them.

However, the head maid got Roland's promise and disappeared into the stairwell.

With the head maid leaving, Roland was left alone in the four-story hall, falling into a deathly silence.

The flickering lights add a touch of weirdness to the hall, like a scene from a horror movie, and people can't help but feel hairy.

"Don't worry about that for now...... Let's refine the cards first. ”

Roland glanced at the furnishings around him, whispered a whisper, and walked straight to the door at the end of the hall.

While there may be some secrets hidden here, it's never too late to keep them for later. After all, the most important thing now is to complete the casting of blank cards and the upgrading of cards.

He came to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed it gently, and with a squeak, the hidden door was pushed open.

The first thing that catches your eye is a room with a simple atmosphere, with no superfluous furnishings, just a bed, a bookshelf and desk, and a few paintings hanging on the wall.

However, in the empty area, there were some sealed boxes.

If there was no miscalculation, those things should be the sunflower and magic hedron that Roland needed.

"Come on, come on, start refining...... I hope the success rate will be higher. ”

Suddenly, Roland hurriedly closed the door behind him, and depicted the refining magic array of blank cards on the ground.

This time, he bought a full 5,000 Sunflowers from the Sun Chamber of Commerce, and if nothing happens, he will receive at least 4,000 card advancement points.

Of course......

This is based on the premise that the success rate of refining blank cards is not low.

"Whew, start casting blank cards."

Suddenly, Roland took a deep breath and put materials such as the Flower of the Sun and the Five Magic Crystals into the magic array, and then cut his fingers and dripped blood into it.

Ticking, blood slowly dripping onto the floor depicting the magic circle.

In an instant, with a buzzing sound, a ball of blood-colored light suddenly emerged, emitting bursts of strange light.

With the appearance of this blood ray, the Sun Flower and the Five Magic Crystals were immediately wrapped in it, forming a round blood-colored spherical object, slowly floating in the air.

“……………”

Roland silently watched the scene in front of him, his heart full of nervousness.

Because of the success rate of the previous minting blank card, he is very nervous now.

You know, the first time you minted a blank card, you had five chances, and in the end, you only succeeded once, and the result can only be described as terrible.

Time passed gradually, and after about five minutes, the blood-colored spherical object finally underwent some changes.

I saw that the blood-colored ball of light began to change color, from a bewitching blood-red color to a holy pale gold.

But the anomaly doesn't end there......

When the entire ball of light was pale gold, it began to crumble, revealing a blank card with a golden pattern inside.

[Ding, "Beautiful Blank Card" was successfully minted and 10 advanced points were obtained. 】

[Beautiful blank card: Effect, with this card, you will have a 70% chance to cast a lifeform or object into a card.]

Note: When you seal something as a card, that card gets a certain ability boost. 】

[Ding, your casting experience has been greatly improved, and you have obtained the achievement "Skilled Foundry". 】

"It's ...... "Beautiful Blank Cards" with a 70% success rate, and this skilled caster, what are they? ”

Roland looked at the three pieces of information that popped up in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

First of all, a skilled forger should have successfully crafted the achievement that comes with this special blank card.

As for the "Beautiful Blank Card", it was the white card with the highest success rate he had ever seen, except for the white card given by the mission.

I believe that as long as the luck is not too bad, the probability of success in 70 can almost be said to be very stable.

But what surprised him the most was not the white card, but the fact that he had earned 10 Advance Points.

If you follow the usual minting process, this is the amount that you need to mint 10 white cards to obtain.

Whether it was his achievements or the 10 Advancement Points he earned in an instant, he was very surprised by these two things.

"Very good, that's a very good sign, come back ............."

Roland suppressed the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly put the blank card with the golden pattern into the card slot, and began the second round of blank card minting.

I saw him take a handful of materials and throw them all into the magic array.

As the blood dripped onto the material, there was a buzz, and a blood cell resurfaced in the room.

As time passed, after a while, the blood cell began to dissipate, revealing a blank card.

[Ding, "Good Blank Card" is successfully minted and 1 advanced point is obtained. 】

It's not like the pale gold pattern of the previous white card, but at least it doesn't fail.

You must know that such two consecutive casting successes, put in the previous casting, it is simply unimaginable.

"Whew, that's good......... The second casting was successful. ”

Looking at the white card floating in the air, Roland's nervous heart immediately relaxed.

According to this momentum, the final casting result should be able to get a good harvest.

At this moment, a strange black shadow appeared in the inconspicuous corner of the bedroom.

Its figure was very hazy, and it couldn't see its appearance clearly, as if it was an illusory shadow.

Suddenly, as if curious about what Roland was doing, it slowly crouched on the ground, staring intently at the casting process.

And with Roland's white card being successfully minted, the black shadow would still depict something on the ground from time to time.

But...... Roland, who was constantly forging cards, didn't notice this anomaly.

Because now he is completely immersed in endless excitement, and he has no time to pay attention to other things.

In the next ten or so castings, none of them failed, and the success rate directly reached 100.

"it...... Succeeded again! ”

"Oh my God! It's just unbelievable. ”

"This ...... Lose your marbles! ”

At this time, when Roland saw that the success rate was so high, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

So he didn't hesitate to draw four refining magic arrays on the ground again, intending to cast five white cards at the same time, which would greatly improve efficiency.

"The Light is with me! Crazy ............"

When the magic array was drawn, Roland immediately put five materials and his own blood into it at the same time, and quickly began casting.

If Pastor Catherine had seen this, they would have stopped him.

Now Roland looked like a madman, constantly slicing his palm with a blade, and then dripping blood to the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a skill called the Healing Hand.

I am afraid that he has now lost too much blood, which has led to a coma, and may even fall into death as a result.

However, the price is worth it.

Because perhaps it was the favor of Lady Luck, Roland's luck was very good during this time period.

Minting five white cards at the same time will give him the biggest increase in earnings.

However, after that lucky time, the minting of cards began to start to fail.

For example, out of 10 white cards minted, three or four will collapse.
