The mahogany dining table is draped with a white tablecloth and in the center is a lit silver candlestick.

The light of the candelabra blends with the crystal chandelier on the roof, adding a dreamlike atmosphere to the somewhat dimly lit environment.

The cooks and maids are constantly serving sumptuous dishes, and the aroma of swallowing is overflowing.

"Come, for the sake of friendship!"

On the throne, Billy looked at Sulu at the other end of the table and raised his glass.

"For friendship!"

Sulu did not apologize at all for slaughtering the black-hearted tyrant, and drank all the high-end white wine in the cup.

While Sulu was cutting a grilled steak, a well-dressed secretary-like figure walked into the living room.

"Young Master."

He looked at Billy and bowed slightly, as if it was just for the sake of etiquette, and there was a faint arrogance in him.

"Ron, this is my secretary - Ian! You can tell him anything, Ian is very capable! ”

Billy laughed.

That's it...... A Transcendent bodyguard sent by the Billy family? ’

Sulu glanced at it, "It's actually [Apprentice], it's really good. ’

The caster profession is originally a little rarer than the physical side, and the Doreif family can send an [apprentice] to protect Billy, which is already a very high standard.

After all, Billy is not the core of the family, and the city of Nia has become very 'clean' after the disaster of some time ago!

Neither cultists nor demon worshippers can continue to stay here.

If it is only to deal with ordinary dangers, a first-order [apprentice] is sufficient.

"Mr. Ian, I'm going to trouble you in the future!"

Sulu raised his glass in greeting, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Nothing! It is my pleasure to serve both of you! ”

Ian was a little puzzled, feeling that there didn't seem to be this person among Billy's fox friends.

But he didn't say much, just prepared to investigate it later.

He is not Su Lu, and without the means of detection in the spiritual realm, he naturally can't find out that Su Lu is special.

……

Time into the night.

One of the most luxurious rooms in the estate.

After taking a comfortable shower, Sulu, who had washed away all the fatigue of his long-term travel, came to the desk in a loose robe.

He opened the suitcase, took out the pieces of extraordinary materials inside, and placed them on the table.

"There is simply no suitable environment on the train to complete my occult practice...... Now, it's finally time to get started! ”

Sulu first took out a bundle of dried wormwood, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

The true combat power of [thaumaturgist] still lies in the 'thaumaturgical card'!

As for the seal card, that is where his confidence lies, and it cannot be used in regular battles, not to mention, at this time, that image is already wanted.

"Thaumaturgical Solitaire...... The main material is absinthe, and the auxiliary materials are marjoram branches, thyme, rose essential oil......"

Recalling the production process, Sulu took out all the extraordinary materials and equipment.

These are all his gains in Charles's black market.

To be honest, it's really a bit reluctant to leave such a large transcendent trading market.

Instead, here, I don't know how long it will take to gather all the materials for making cards.

"Let's get started, first of all...... Spiritual fire! ”

When everything was ready, Sulu took a deep breath, lit a spiritual fire, and began to process the materials.

Ten minutes later......

Holding a 'funnel' in his hand, he carefully poured the yellow pulp inside into a mold that had already been made.

Zizi!

The next moment, as pulp was injected into the mold, a large amount of white smoke emerged.

In the mold, a yellowish card appears.

It was about the size of a playing card, with a blank front and a swirl on the back.

This is Sulu's pre-engraved seal circle of thaumaturgists.

"It's done!"

He wiped his sweat and picked up the cards with some delight, slightly injecting inspiration.

Click! …… Click!

The next moment, the lines on the cards lit up and broke one after another, like a broken electrical appliance, flashing a string of sparks.

Raging!

Then it burns up on its own and turns to ashes.

"Failed ......"

Su Lu sighed: "Although the process is generally correct, in the subtle manipulation, there is still a mistake!" ”

Next, he experimented several times, and the results were not very satisfactory.

The difficulty of thaumaturgical card making was somewhat beyond his imagination.

"And the paper cards are like this, and the difficulty of the silver metal cards can be imagined......"

Sulu smiled bitterly and suddenly understood that any transcendent profession is not easy.

If you want to gain strong combat power and win glory, you must silently pay hard work and hard work, and bear the bitter fruits of failure!

"With my current crafting ability, the success rate of cards is only about 1 in 5, which is too low! Since it's a matter of technique, then ......"

Sulu took a deep breath: "Improve your magical item crafting!" ”

[Consumes 150 XP...... Magical item crafting level increased to LV2! 】

In the moment after the skill improved, Sulu covered his forehead, recalling the actions he had just made when making cards, and found a few small mistakes.

If he does it again, he is sure to increase the success rate by one to two percent!

"That's it, it's not enough!"

After thinking about it, he continued to level up his skills:

[Consumes 300 XP points...... Magical item crafting level increased to LV3! 】

After fusing the strange knowledge, Sulu felt that his hands became extremely flexible, and the movements when making magical props actually had a sense of art that was extremely familiar and flowing.

"The current success rate should be 50%! Sure enough, the more you go to the back, the more difficult it is to improve! ”

"However, you can bet on the qualitative change when skill LV4 happens!"

Sulu gritted his teeth: "Keep improving!" ”

[Consumes 600 XP points...... Magical item crafting level increased to LV4! 】

[The crafting level of magical items has been upgraded to LV4 and you will get an exclusive bonus - ingenuity!] 】

[Ingenuity - You are already an excellent craftsman for magical items, and when you make low-level transcendent items, the success rate will increase by an additional 10%!] 】

"Hmm...... This seems like a good bonus, but it's a pity that it's too much experience cost......"

Sulu took a deep breath to calm down all the discomforts in his body.

This is a normal phenomenon that comes with skill upgrading.

The next moment, he picked up the magic material again.

At this moment, he seemed to have become the master of this area, and the processing of various materials was exactly the same, and even the speed was much faster.

When he woke up from this wonderful state, he was shocked to find that all the wormwood had been disposed of, and in his hand, there was a stack of pale yellow thaumaturgical cards.

"Success rate...... Is it about eighty percent? ”

Sulu thought about it and felt that this was already the limit for a while.

After all, the production of thaumaturgical cards was different from his previous times, and most of the previous refining tools used the specificity of the materials themselves, and the actual operation requirements were not high.

The production of cards involves the precipitation and transformation of various mysterious powers, and the difficulty skyrockets.
