Chapter 106: Five Cards

Stronghold Stars' Fortress Card, the most popular product in the multiverse in recent times, is recognized as a great invention that "can change the future of the multiverse", creating the largest shortage in history. If you open the White Flag grocery store's order system – which can now only purchase products from the UNI Alliance headquarters – and look up the Fortress Card, you'll only see "Out of Stock" and countless high-hanging purchase orders. The price of each Fortress Card is around 100 Destiny Coins, and the blank Seal Fortress Card is 50% more expensive.

Now, there are five fortress cards in Qian Jing's hand, "It's all money!" Qian Jing snickered and slipped back to the dormitory of the grocery store. By closing the door, he could check the five cards without being disturbed, while keeping them secret.

The first one is the "Character Card: Wizard Apprentice", which seals the mental state of an excellent Magician Apprentice. Grand Magician Sami El made a character card in public at the Core Ring Conference, and he sealed his status, and that card was "Magic Type - Character (Character) - Legend - Archmage Sami El", which is of course far more powerful than this magic apprentice.

"Magician's apprentice" is also a type of magic, that is, it requires elemental energy to drive, and of course blue crystals are no problem. For Qian Jing, since he is also a magician, he can use his water elemental sensing ability to activate it, but it is slightly less efficient - but more economical. In addition to the type of magic, there are four major categories: mechanical, electronic, life, and anomalous.

To be more precise, this card would be called Elemental-Magic. Qi, Water, Fire, and Earth is an elemental classification method, which is commonly used in magic, and Jinmu, Water, Fire, and Earth is also an elemental classification method, and the Five Elements Dao Technique is commonly used. There are also all kinds of strange classification methods such as light, darkness, thunder, sound, etc., even "holy light!", "chakra!", "bursting shirt? (mistaken)" are all in the elemental classification.

Character cards are used on stronghold card users, and each intelligent creature can only use one at a time, perhaps two for a two-headed ogre like Huga. The "Magician Apprentice" card reads: Balanced elemental sensing, higher learning efficiency.

"Need to occupy the combat power of the Fifty Army?Oh, the survivability of the Fifty Bacteria, isn't this the weights and measures system of the Ring Alliance?" All he had to do was concentrate and keep injecting water into it to activate the card. In the top right of the front of the card, there is a "magic crystal" pattern that represents the effect of the Fifty Fungus Charge, which needs to be lit up and kept in place for this card to work.

Qian Jing's ability to control the water element is quite good, and he activates the card in a few moments, effortlessly. Character cards need to maintain a steady supply of elemental energy, and they need to be in direct contact with the user, and the best way to do this is to tie them to the body with a rubber band or the like. Qian Jing temporarily pinched the card in his hand, and then the detailed purpose of the card appeared in his mind.

On the one hand, the balanced magic element sensing can help Qian Jing solve the trouble caused by only the affinity of the water element when learning spells. The magic learning materials of the fortress star are all based on the earth element, supplemented by fire and air, and the water element is at most a few sentences, and even the identity of "extracurricular reading" is not mixed. Therefore, Qian Jing did not have a magic learning method with the water element as the core at hand.

Grand Magician Samiel was well aware of this situation, so he made an appointment to let the magician Yuna come to Earth. Of course, Yuna can't stay on Earth all the time, and Qian Jing also needs to teach herself. Therefore, he designed this magic apprentice card to allow Qian Jing to temporarily have the ability to control the other three elements. In this way, he can follow the path of the earth elemental spell, from low level to high level, complete the entire learning process, master the skills, methods, and establish the elemental control system, and can also become an excellent magician when applying what he has learned to the water element.

In addition, the Magic Apprentice card can balance the water elemental ability of the Money Mirror and provide it to other Stronghold cards. This ability to "balance" is essentially to consume water elemental power and then displace other elements from the surrounding environment. This process is very expensive and not very efficient, and can only solve the problem of "whether there is a balanced output", so it is called "apprentice". Qian Jing pondered, this function should be used in conjunction with other fortress cards.

The second card is called the "Apprentice Bench", and this one is not a character card, but an environmental enchantment from the Elemental Magic series. "The maintenance cost of the power of a thousand jun?" Qian Jing's eyes widened. He tried, but he couldn't provide the power of a thousand bacteria at all, and he couldn't activate the card at all, let alone maintain it.

However, as long as the corresponding energy is input into it, you can still know the function of the "apprentice test bed". The apprentice bench is a circular platform with a radius of up to 150 meters, which can be reduced to a minimum of 10 meters square. In this space, any spell that hits the ground after being launched from the inside, or flies to the edge, or rises to a "radius" height, is broken down into elemental energy and sent back to the magic apprentice. In other words, it's a place to practice mantras, which has the effect of reducing fatigue, increasing the number of exercises, and improving endurance in disguise.

The strength of the spells that the "Apprentice Bench" can withstand is at the level of the "Apprentice", and there must be a higher level of the Bench, but the consumption required is definitely higher. Stronghold's magic towers generally use similar techniques, and can even absorb the power of the storm outside to reinforce themselves. It's a good card, but it's definitely going to need to be supported by other methods.

The third chapter card is called "Magic Apprentice Robes", and like the "Magic Apprentice Character Card", it requires the elemental power of fifty bacteria to maintain. The elemental energy of the Fifty Bacteria is not too difficult for Qian Jing, but it is no longer as careless as using the Magic Apprentice character card alone. He activates the card and gets a "Thoughtful Magic Apprentice Robes".

Qian Jing was very strange, if he gave himself an apprentice's robe, why didn't he send it directly to it, but use this method? First of all, as long as the cards are not broken, you can get the effect of the robe by paying the fee, so you don't have to worry about damage to the clothes. The garment he wore was only a magical effect, so it could be offered in several different styles at the same time - real clothes didn't have the benefit. The smallest can be a vest, the largest can be a robe that drags to the floor, and provides a hood large enough to cover most of the face.

"Earthy yellow mage robe...... Qian Jing sighed: "How much do the Fortress Star people like this color? Can't you see enough of the desert all day? Oh, maybe this is camouflage for them? This is also possible." ”

Qian Jing wanted to try the feeling of the apprentice's robe, and just raised it, but the card in his hand fell. Without a constant supply of elemental energy, the robe vanished instantly. Well, that's pretty troublesome. So Qian Jing bit the card, maintained the elemental energy, and then put the apprentice robe on his body.

Although it is summoned by magic, it is not without texture. The clothes of the fortress star are much rougher than those on earth on average, anyway, the fortress stars have scales, and the sandstorm does not hurt on the body, so they don't care about the clothing. Qian Jing's piece has obviously been optimized, almost at the level of denim, and it can be seen that the Grand Magician Sami El pays great attention to details. Qian Jing held the fortress card in his mouth, checked the details of the robe, and found that in the wide sleeves, there were two pockets connected to magic runes on the left and right, which were just the right size to place the fortress card.

He understood, and it turned out that this was what "thoughtfulness" meant. Magic runes in the pocket connect the card to the user, and when placed in the pocket, it is attached to the body. Compared with the energy loss of this place, the convenience of improvement is more important. Qian Jing took the card from his mouth and stuffed it into the pocket inside the cuff. Sure enough, the clothes on my body did not disappear!

"Compress!" After Qian Jing gave the order, the robe continued to shrink, turning into a coat, a gown, and finally a vest. The pockets in the left and right sleeves are also constantly changing positions, eventually moving to the left and right chests and attaching to them. "Great, it's so convenient!"

Qian Jing was overjoyed, so he put the "Magic Apprentice" card in his pocket. "This clothes are easy to use and wash-free! And the ability to protect! Well, I don't say how strong the protection is, but it's only at the level of apprenticeship and 50 bacterial strength...... Definitely can't stop the bullets, absolutely!"

The fourth stronghold card is called the "Arcane Eye Orb", which is a type of golem. The Follow-Up Eye Golem used in the Ultimate Magic Contest is more advanced (and expensive) than the "Mystic Eye Golb", but the focus is different after all. Qian Jing does not need the ability of the eye golem to take selfies, follow photos and transfer images, these functions are more convenient with a mobile phone with an Internet connection. The first few things are all learned for auxiliary magic, and the same is true for the Mystic Eye Orb.

This card is not a summoning card, but a memory card, which means that if the arcane eye orb is damaged, it is really damaged. The card itself is only used to store the Mystic Eye Orb, and the activation cost is a one-time event, which can be put away after releasing the Eye Orb. The arcane orb is activated by its own energy, and then treats the person holding the card as its owner and serves it.

A fist-sized arcane eye orb can fly. When there is air, it uses two wings as thin as cicada's wings, and when it doesn't have air, it uses elemental abilities. Flying with Elemental Abilities is silent, but consumes four times as much. It can detect and transmit sounds, images and even scents to the card's holder, and has the ability to telepathize and communicate on behalf of the owner.

Qian Jing was stunned for two seconds, and then jumped up. He hurriedly drew a stickman, and then released the arcane eye orb. The arcane eye orb started very slowly, and it took a full two minutes to complete the startup, flapping its wings and floating into the air. Its spherical body has large eyes on the front and back, which can provide two visions, and the money mirror can see these two images by focusing his mind on the eye magic ball card.

"I'm dizzy...... I'm starting to sympathize with Hu Ga, who used to live like this every day...... "Qian Jing shook his body, knowing that he needed a while to get used to itβ€”but that's not the point." He gave the stickman the order to "look at this room and tell me who the smartest person here is", and then concentrated on "listening" for the message from the Eye Orb.

"The smartest person is the master Qian Jing!" The stickman's psychic communication was transmitted back through the arcane eye orb. Qian Jing clenched his fists: This is a historic call! From now on, he can say goodbye to the era when he can only give orders alone!

"But it's a pity that the smartest is not the master. ”

Qian Jing's joy came to an abrupt end, and he stared at the stickman with wide eyes. The black stickman stood motionless, without facial features and expression, and would not stare back.

"Who's the smartest in this room?"

The stickman raised his hand, pointing to the money mirror with one hand and his head with the other. This answer is not wrong, the stickman uses the ability of the money mirror, in terms of physical strength and mental power, so there is no difference. Well, Qian Jing received this answer, but he still didn't understand why the stickman complained before.

"Because the owner will complain silently......"

Qian Jing directly made this stickman dissipate. In the final analysis, the stickman still uses Qian Jing's brain power, including his language ability, and can even use Qian Jing's thinking methods. Therefore, stickmen should be careful when using stickstickmen in the future, and they must be consistent with the goal of complaining to the outside world, and they must not fight in the nest!

Being able to telepathize is a convenient feature, but this is not Sami El's original intention of giving the Arcane Eye Orb to Qian Jing. This orb can focus the gaze, observe very subtle things, and can see the trajectory of the magical element, which is known as "arcane vision". With this ability, you can easily check for errors and omissions in magic runes and magic circles, and can also assist in the creation of magic items, such as delicate golem parts.

"This one is still a teaching aid, let's look at the last one. ”

The last one is a "Seal-Item Storage Card" with a small box inside. This is a reusable access card, similar to a space bag, which pays energy to release the contents and the card becomes blank again.

A leather scroll was tied to the box, and inside was a message from the Grand Magician Sami El. "Inside the box is a bio-based spell casting material based on Legion Bread, and according to the method in the scroll, when you have enough magic manipulation ability, you can create your own magic pet. My advice is that instead of simple critters, you should choose a pet that balances the magic of the water elemental into other elements, which is the Balancer type pet. In my experience, the Weighing Pet is difficult to make, but it will help you a lot in the future, and it will definitely be worth it. Another: This blank card that you can take to seal other things, including creatures. ”

Originally, the name of the card was "Seal-Item Storage", but after the contents were taken out, the name was actually changed to "Universal-Legend-Seal Base Card". The Seal Base Card is the most primitive card, and it is the most valuable Stronghold card category at the moment.

In the entire Ring Alliance's ordering system, there are only ordinary seal base cards, and there are no "legendary" level seal base cards. Qian Jing suspected that Fortress Star hadn't started selling this kind of card at all. According to the instructions, for a sufficient amount of energy, it can seal a state, including a mob or item, or it can be used as an item storage card again. In general, the energy provided by the seal must be at least equal to the energy level of the sealed target at the time.

"It's just, what can I seal with my current ability? Can I try the seal myself? This can be the same...... "Without a stickman, Qian Jing will still complain about himself, so it will be difficult for the stickman to change in the future."
