Chapter 6 Ten-Year-Old Card Maker
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the simple house, and Grandpa Lin Luo lay on the larger bed, snoring like thunder, sleepy, and from time to time a transparent snot bubble exploded.
On the other small single bed, Lin Dou's little face had a completely numb look, and his attention was focused on his hands.
The flat square table was full of bottles and cans, Lin Dou held a white and traceless card with one hand, and held a carving knife about fifteen or sixteen centimeters long with the other.
The blade gently glides across the card, the force is consistent, and the beautiful lines are displayed one by one, like a dragon extending. And Lin Dou's body was like iron casting, and he didn't move a single bit from beginning to end, only his right wrist was spinning like a spirit snake.
Even if it is extremely complicated, the small maneuvers are easily outlined under his blade, and they are extremely flexible, and if anyone else sees this scene, they don't know how much of a wave it will make.
Because Lin Dou turned out to be in.... Craft Cards!
If there's one class on the continent of Kalas that can still be above the card master, it's undoubtedly ..... Card maker.
Someone once made a statistic that about one card maker will be born in three ordinary people, and the chance of a card maker being born in a card master is one in ten thousand!
The lines on the snow-white card gradually become clearer, with the blade pointing downwards, just as the lines have reached the edge of the card. Lin Dou didn't let go, the tip of the knife slammed, and suddenly changed the snake-like portrayal, but suddenly lifted up, controlling the blade to draw a fierce arc.
However, in the end, the blade landed exactly where it landed, coinciding with the starting pattern, so that the entire card was completely connected.
From beginning to end, Lin Dou's carving knife never left the card, which means that he turned out to be .... A lump sum card!
Gently exhaled, Lin Dou's back was wet with sweat, and with a flick of his fingers, a needle-sized dipping pen fell into his hand.
The snow-white card is the standard base card of the life card, each card has its own special texture, and after the engraving, use a dipping pen to drip different card materials into the texture. Not a single drop can be mistaken, and many beginners in card making often struggle here.
However, for Lin Dou, dripping raw materials is the easiest step, and the real difficulty is to portray the lines.
Because the way he depicts the lines is not the exquisite "three knife streams" and "multiple strokes" that the card makers in Beicheng rumored to be.
It's a very simple and crude one-sum card, and there will never be a second one.
According to Lin Dou's simple understanding, the card makers in Beicheng and even in the Principality of Tianfu seem to use a lot of brushes to depict the lines. Many masters' theories are all focused on how to work on the combination of card materials, and no one will be like him, and most of the energy spent on card making needs to be spent on depicting lines.
The tiny dipping pen seemed to come alive in Lin Dou's hands, and the raw materials were dripping in the lines, without a trace of overflow.
After a few breaths, the card in Lin Dou's hand suddenly burst out of a soft white, which meant that a gravity card was born.
At the age of ten, you can make a card, even if it is just a life card, the news is enough to cause a sensation in Beicheng, but there is no excitement on Lin Dou's little face, on the contrary, there is a look of reluctance, muttering, "Make evil, make it difficult for yourself to make a card yourself, so cheap in Beicheng, no.... The Principality of Tianfu is also the only one of the Scorpion Baba, right?"
The voice was full of grievances.
In fact, two years ago, Lin Dou was already able to make life cards independently, and there were many styles.
This is also the biggest secret of him and Grandpa Lin Luo, and even Cui Fatzi, who is closest to Lin Dou, doesn't know it. However, Grandpa Lin Luo, the creator of all this, set a dead rule on the first day he taught him how to make cards, but all the cards made should not be displayed or sold.
It means that the cards made by Lin Dou can only be used for his own training, and with Lin Dou's card-making ability gradually improving.
The more powerful the cards he makes, the more sin he suffers. I often get beaten by the cards I made, and my nose and face are swollen, not to mention, but I can't sell it For Lin Dou, who loves money like his life, he wants his own life!
Even if he can only sell life cards, it will turn Lin Dou's current life upside down, as for the poor Baba to deceive the three melons and two dates in the pocket of the little friend of the Yan Department.
A young genius card maker, and the other is a turtle gambler. Lin Dou felt that his younger brother could figure out the difference, but once Lin Dou proposed to sell it, it would definitely attract the wrath of Grandpa Lin Luo.
It seems that Grandpa Lin Luo never wanted to make Lin Dou famous and rich.
"The last one, hey, it's really hard. ”
Sighing and putting away a few gravity cards, Lin Dou pouted and blew a handful of hair on the top of his head. The difficulty of tomorrow's training has increased again, and it has become 600 catties.
Why don't you have hair, it's all.... Sad!
From childhood to adulthood, with the methods taught to him by Grandpa Lin Luo, Lin Dou was far from ordinary people, but Grandpa Lin Luo had no intention of looking forward to Sun Jackie Chan at all, and his place of residence changed three or four, as if he was running away from something. Even Lin Dou, who had countless ghost eyes, couldn't see anything, and he didn't have a clue at all.
Hiss.
Suddenly, Lin Dou gritted his teeth, frowned, rolled up the sleeves of his arm, and a very deep scar appeared on his white and strong wrist, which had gradually changed color, like a hot fire.
Crimson as blood, shocking.
If you look closely, you will find that the scar is boxy, the size of a palm.... Cards?
This scar Lin Dou has had since he was a child, and every time he uses too much crystal power, it will change color and cause severe pain.
He skillfully took out a towel from his backpack and wet it and applied it to the scar, but the unstoppable pain still made Lin Dou grin.
He had asked Grandpa Lin Luo more than once about this scar, but the answers he got were all vague, what was too much to drink and burned, he actually picked it up.... However, the eccentric Lin Dou sensitively found that whenever he mentioned it, Grandpa Lin Luo's face would be a little unnatural, and the depths of his evasive eyes seemed to contain endless flames.
"That's right!"
Just as Lin Dou was sorting out his backpack, his palm suddenly touched something.
Lin Dou was stunned for a moment and took it out, wasn't it the small glowing card he picked up when he and Xu Qiangrose were in the water before.
Dangling it carefully, the crystal power was integrated, and Lin Dou exhausted many methods. Unfortunately, the little card didn't react at all, and even the light that flickered from time to time underwater disappeared. He didn't give up and bit hard with his teeth, but his teeth were about to burst Lin Doufang stopped and cried with a sad face.
"If you don't pick it up when you go out, it's equal to throwing it away, and if you don't pick it up, it's waste. ”
Forget it, it's pretty good.
Lin Dou weighed it and made a small suffix on the back of the small metal card and hung it on his earlobe.
This is his consistent principle, and he must make the best use of things when they have them. After tossing for a long time, Lin Dou finally fell asleep, and lay on the bed and fell asleep soundly.
The moonlight shone on his delicate, cute little face, and after a while.... A snot bubble exploded.
..............
Early the next morning.
Lin Dou opened his eyes early, and slipped out of the house while Grandpa Lin Luo was still awake and his face was not washed.
The west entrance of the village in Yanbu was particularly lively, and under a big tree that was almost five people hugging each other, a group of children about the same age as Lin Dou gathered, and the noise was boiling.
For Yanbu, who basically has no entertainment, this group of idle little guys began to gather in the early morning to discuss how to pass the time and where to go to the scourge. His pocket was full of crystal coins, how could Lin Dou let go of such a good time, every day was like clocking in at work, more active than anyone else.
"Come on, come on, the dealer is here, the contemptible Lin Dou, the nickname is a monopoly on all kinds of dissatisfaction!"
In front of a card table under the tree, Lin Dou's saliva was flying, and he squinted his eyes at the many boys of the Yan Department who hated him so much that they gritted their teeth.
Card fighting is rife in the Kalas continent, and if you say this in front of a group of bloody boys, it is estimated that you will be surrounded by gambling immediately.
It's just that in the face of Lin Dou, who has never been defeated and is like a devil, many Yanbu boys stood around angrily, their eyes were like frogs, but there were very few who dared to sit in front of Lin Dou.
No, you can't do it.
Every kid in the field had a time when he didn't coax, and as a result... It all turned into a sad story, and it was told for years.
"Don't be discouraged, I believe in you, you will definitely do it next time. ”
Supporting another pale boy who stood up tremblingly from the card table, Lin Dou hurriedly comforted.
Hey, they're all customers, and it's not easy to make some money these days.
Just as Lin Dou sent one away, and was about to provoke the next Yanbu boy to get off the field, suddenly a slap from behind him fell on his shoulder,
"Lin Dou, long time no see!"
The tone was cold, and as soon as Lin Dou turned around, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Good guy, a fat man who is bigger than Cui Fat blocked the whole sun.
Eleven or twelve-year-old, a pair of cross-eyed eyes stared at Lin Dou, his big face instantly turned red, and he looked like he went out and bumped into his father's enemy. On the contrary, Lin Dou's happy snot bubbles bubbled out, as cordial as seeing a long-lost relative,
"It's you, Liu Dongdong, I'm really.... I miss you so much. ”
This fat man Liu Dongdong is the grandson of the Minister of Yan, and he is definitely a local tyrant in this area.
In recent years, Lin Dou's small treasury has been able to be pitted by Lin Luo's grandfather from time to time, and he has insisted on steady growth, I have to say that Liu Dongdong can be called "meritorious"!
There were seven or eight teenagers behind Liu Dongdong, all of whom looked at Lin Dou with fire-breathing eyes, all of them had lost completely under Lin Dou without exception, and they were all difficult brothers and sisters of Liu Dongdong's standard.
Quack!
Liu Dongdong almost didn't crush his teeth, his fists clenched, and the idea of completely smashing this hateful little face with one punch couldn't help but surge up. It's just that noticing the calmness and cunning in Lin Dou's eyes suddenly made him a little sober, and countless pictures in the past have testified.
As long as he punches over, Lin Dou will be able to dodge and then fall to the ground in an exaggerated manner, and become a poor boy who was bullied by the minister's grandson with an amazing acting skill, so as to pay him sky-high compensation, these lessons are all painful tears.
Holding his hand tightly and loosening, Liu Dongdong held back his anger, turned around and pointed behind him and said proudly, "I'm going to introduce you to someone, this is my eldest brother, a student of Qingyue Kafu.... Chen Yuhao!"
Blue Moon Card Mansion!
In an instant, Lin Dou's expression changed, and the afterglow swept over, and he had been patronizing gambling money before, and suddenly found that there were many more faces in the field, and several fifteen or sixteen boys had surrounded Lin Dou.
At a moment, a young man dressed in a denim suit who looked a head taller than Lin Dou walked over, looked at Lin Dou playfully, and sneered.
"Is it that you won Liu Dongdong's crystal coin before?"
