Putting on his coat, Ranch picked up the codex he had borrowed from the Frontier Library on his desk and walked out of the room.

As the morning light gradually brightens, you can see the outside world more clearly.

After breakfast, as usual, a few words of greeting Hans the butler, and saying goodbye to the maid Francin, Ranch walked straight out of the mansion and headed for the corner of the street in his memory.

Soon, he saw Talia standing by the wall.

"Good morning, Tata."

Ranch greets Taria, who had been waiting for her morning.

Previously, when Ranch asked for Taria's name, Talia didn't tell him her real name.

Instead, he said that his name was "Tata".

Even though Ranch knew her real name for a long time, he had to pretend not to.

Otherwise, accidentally shouting the title "Talia" will definitely cause big problems.

As an ordinary person, there is no reason to know the true identity of this demon princess.

So Ranchi naturally called her by the pseudonym "Tata".

"Hmm."

Talia just nodded, ignoring Ranchi.

When Ranchi began his journey for the day, she followed him from a short distance.

……

About half an hour later, Ranchi and Talia arrived at the Card Makers Guild, the branch of the South Vantina Frontier Territory in the Kingdom of Hutton.

Before Ranch could touch the heavy door, a mysterious energy began to permeate the door of the Card Makers Guild.

In front of him, driven by this force, the ancient coat of arms on the black iron-like metal door gradually shimmered with a faint blue light, as if it had life, pulsating with magical energy.

With a slight vibration, the crack in the door of the Card Makers Association gradually changed from narrow to wide.

What catches your eye is a completely different scene from the outside world -

The interior space of the association is simple and elegant, except for the orderly division of the counter area, there is not too much cumbersome decoration, and the whole layout gives a sense of order.

Even though it's only morning, the association is already full of busy staff. Many visitors were waiting at the counter, discussing the topic of magic cards and the shadow world.

Ranch had just stepped into this majestic, imposing building when he suddenly stopped again.

"Tata, I'm not sure when it's going to end today, why don't you go in with me?"

He asked, looking back at Taria.

Ever since he made a deal with Talia, he has been telling Talia in advance about his itinerary these days, including what time he leaves in the morning and what time he returns in the evening.

And Talia is also very dedicated as a bodyguard.

Previously, whether Ranch was going to the Border Library or the Card Makers Guild, Talia would wait outside the door until he came out.

The guards of such important places are not weak, and Ranch explains to her that there are some places where she does not need to be accompanied.

For example, Lanchi's family, as long as Lanchi is sent back to the mansion, she no longer has to protect Lanchi.

In addition, Ranchi herself is well aware that Talia does not have an identity that allows her to enter these places.

Now she is just an unidentified stowaway in the Hutton Kingdom.

If you are investigated for breaking into the branches of these large associations, it can cause quite a lot of trouble.

"Nope."

There was no emotion in Taria's tone.

Still, her voice was as detached as ever.

Lanch sighed and looked at her cross-legged:

"I'm probably going to be here for a long time every day, if you stay outside and wait for me every day...... This feeling of squatting might be more conspicuous, right? ”

“……”

His words silenced Talia, as if she was considering.

"Don't you think it would be much easier for you to work if you were also free to enter and leave the Card Makers Association?"

Ranch asked again,

"That's right, I'm going to rent the card making workshop in the association next, there is no one else in the card making room except me, you can stay in the card making room to pass the time. If anyone in the association asks, I'll just say you're my bodyguard. ”

Lanchi said as he pulled out his savings crystal card.

Obviously, the kind at the highest level.

The Card Makers Guild of the Border City-States would not offend a guest like him.

"Okay."

Talia hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly, and followed.

Instead of waiting, she actually wanted to go into the human card maker association to have a look.

It's a pity that I have suffered from no legal status for many years.

This human ...... will always hit the right one to make her satisfied.

……

Not long after Ranchi walked into the guild with Taria, a deacon came up to Ranchi to receive him.

Although he was not a registered card maker with the association, the association's staff knew that Ranch had come as a "businessman".

After all, the Lanch family is the famous Wilford Chamber of Commerce in this southern Vantina border territory.

"I want to rent a high-end one-room card making workshop, and I need some materials."

Ranch succinctly expressed his intentions to the deacon and handed him a list.

Then the deacon nodded respectfully and extended his hand to invite them to come with him.

Led by the deacon, they walked around half of the interior area of the first floor of the association, and reached the third floor of the association by a suspended staircase.

The corridors on this floor may seem to be decades old, but they have not been over-renovated in order to retain some of the artistic touch.

At the end of the hallway, a room with a purple sign in the doorway catches Lanchi and Talya.

The deacon opened the door for them, then moved out of the way and motioned for the two of them to enter.

"Mr. Ranch Wilford, the cost of the rental is £1 per hour, you can settle the rental bill when you leave, and I'll send the materials shortly."

The deacon worked on the small magic device in his hand for a while, and handed him back the crystal card engraved with Ranky's identity.

"Okay, thanks."

Ranch was chatting with the deacon at the door.

Talia stood silently near Lanchi, surveying her surroundings.

She knew at a glance that this spacious card making workshop had a complete set of card making facilities, and all of them were relatively high-end equipment.

It's nice to have these things in a border city-state.

Talia couldn't remember how long it had been since she had last touched these familiar tools.

But she didn't want to touch them at all now.

The magic cards she made, burned by Demon Script, cannot be traded in the human realm at will.

If you leave your feet behind and be tracked down by the Council of the Human Kingdom League, it will only cause you serious trouble......

……

It didn't take long for the staff to prepare and deliver the materials on the Ranchi list.

In addition to the regular materials such as whiteboard cards, energy crystals, rubbing magic stones, and magic core liquid, there are also a bunch of scrolls.

The main materials required to craft the three types of magic cards are different.

The equipment card must have equipment prototypes and enchantments, encapsulations, and other items.

Summoning cards require materials such as monster crystal nuclei or soul crystals.

Crafting spell cards, on the other hand, requires magic scrolls as materials, which can be processed and rewritten.

As a practice, spell cards are undoubtedly the best choice.

Because a large part of the materials and processes required for spell cards have been integrated with magic scrolls.

Crafting spell cards is closer to a "rework" than creating them from scratch!

"You can stay here or leave at any time, as long as you find the deacon just now, he will bring you in."

Ranch picked up a chair and placed it not too far from the workbench, signaling that it was for Talia.

Talia bowed.

She also doesn't like to stand and wait for a day.

So Talia walked over to the chair and sat down gently, her back straight, her hands folded lightly on her knees, like a noble empress.

She stared indifferently ahead, not seeming to take her surroundings into her attention.

But when she sat down, she realized.

It seems that the next thing is to pass the time by watching this kid make cards in front of him.
