Chapter 57: The Role of the Crystal Card

"Second question, do you know these two things?" said Ping'an, raising his arms and opening his palms, and in his hands were a silver card engraved with a crystal pattern, and a black round badge engraved with a large bird pattern. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's not... Where did you find it?" Joanna's gaze was drawn to the badge, a little surprised.

"Where else can it be!, of course, I found it on the man in black, and it seems that I know which forces want to capture you!" He had heard Maester Kane say that the Kanter family had long been one of the most powerful families in the Aerys Empire. In the history of the Kanter family, there have been five law gods and seven dragon knights who are strong at the strength level, but even the strong people who have reached this strength still can't withstand the wear and tear of the years, and they have gradually fallen in the long years. At the height of the Kanter family, there were two gods and three dragon knights, which was enough for them to compete for the dominance of the Aerys Empire. They were the actual rulers of the Aerys Empire hundreds of years ago, but at that time, the Kanter family was much weaker than they were at their peak, and the strongest members of the family fell one by one, until in the end, only one of the top powerhouses of dragon knight strength remained. Such strength was no longer enough to suppress the ambitions of other powerful family forces within the empire, and it was during that period that the equally powerful Andrew family took the lead in overthrowing the rule of the Kanter family, and the Kanter family had to give up the throne in order to preserve their strength because there was only one top powerhouse left in the clan. Until more than 300 years ago, the last top powerhouse in the Kanter family could not withstand the wear and tear of time and fell into the ravages of time, and none of the powerhouses of the new generation could break through to the dragon knight or the strength of the magic god. Without the pressure of a strong person of this level, the Kante family was completely reduced to a second-rate family, and began to hibernate from then on. However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even so, the Kanter family is not something that other families can bully casually. The Kanter family also has a kind of exotic bird in captivity, called Peng Bird, which can travel thousands of miles a day and is extremely rare. The adult Peng bird has a winged spread of more than ten zhang, the whole body is gray and white, the feathers are as hard as stone, and it is said that he also has a unique talent for using a wide range of wind magic, and his strength is not much weaker than that of a griffin. I knew all of the above, but it was the first time I saw the big bird pattern engraved on the badge, but I didn't expect it to be their family logo.

"It turned out that the Kanter family wanted to murder me, their family has not given birth to a new top powerhouse since the fall of the last dragon knight more than three hundred years ago, how can they have such guts!" Joanna had also speculated before that this matter would be planned by other family forces, but now that she saw the logo of the Kanter family, she was still a little incredulous.

"I can't say for sure, maybe there really is, but you don't know!" This kind of routine has seen a lot in Ping'an's previous life, and he didn't make a fuss and said his judgment. At the same time, I also understand that there may be a deep conspiracy hidden behind this matter, and now I am also involved, so it's good not to let those forces planning the conspiracy know, if I know, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble with myself.

"I've got to go back and tell my father!" Joanna said eagerly, realizing that something might be more serious.

"Don't worry, help me see what the other one is. Ping An said as he held the palm of the silver card in front of Joanna.

"Don't you know?" Joanna was not surprised when she saw the card, but asked for peace.

"How do I know? I just don't know why you ask!"

"Are you really from the royal family of the Aplon Empire? How can you not even know this!

"Soil?" Ping'an was also thundered by this description.

"Yes, you don't even know the crystal card of the Crystal Palace, and you are not dirty!" Joanna looked at Ping'an's confused look and couldn't help complaining.

"I don't know if it's not normal, why is it dirty, really!" Ping An expressed disbelief. The Crystal Palace, of course, knows that it is like a high-end club on Earth in the previous life, providing all kinds of services for the pleasure of the elite, and all towns will have its branches, and it is said that the main store of the Crystal Palace is in the Holy Land of Medias, which is extremely luxurious. These are just a few of the descriptions of Crystal Palace that Ping An has learned from Master Kane.

"Who of you nobles wouldn't go to the Crystal Palace to have fun, you don't know?" Joanna said with a playful expression.

"I really haven't been, I don't lie to you!"

"Really?" Joanna was still a little unconvinced.

"I swear!"

“... Okay, believe you, I didn't expect you to have the hobbies that those stinky men have!"

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me what this card is for?"

"Generally, only people with a certain status and strength can apply for a crystal card in the Crystal Palace, and there are four colors of crystal cards, namely black, gold, silver and copper. Black cards cannot be applied, only the most powerful people or the king of a country or the big people in the Holy See, if such conditions are met, the Crystal Palace will take the initiative to issue black cards to them. The requirements for applying for a gold card will not be so difficult, but at least a mage with the strength of a Holy Magus or a strong person with the strength of a paladin, or the leader of a more powerful force can also apply. Like me, because I am the princess of the Irys Empire, I also have a gold card. It's easier to apply for a Silver Card, but you need to be at least the strength of an Archmage or Sky Knight. The requirements for applying for a bronze card are even lower, and you only need to reach the strength of a mage or earth knight to apply. The biggest advantage of this crystal card is that the Crystal Palace will provide free item storage services for the strong people who get these cards in his main store, and no matter how valuable things are stored, they will not be lost there, as long as you can get them at the Crystal Palace main store with the card. Depending on the color of the card, the storage space provided by Crystal Palace will be different, with the black card being the largest and the copper card being the smallest. At the same time, all crystal cards can also store Pope Coins in the Crystal Palace branches and its main store above the county level, and the Pope Coins deposited will be recorded by the Crystal Palace, and these Pope Coins can be directly deducted from the card at any cost in the Crystal Palace, or exchanged for withdrawal. This greatly facilitated the powerful of all parties and was widely popular among the elite class. Joanna had no choice but to popularize this common sense with Ping An that anyone who is a nobleman should know.
