Chapter 3: Card Making! Dagon!
"Didn't you say that all the cards in your hand were taken away?"
Li Ming's eyes were a little more puzzled when he looked at the old man, and he condemned a wave of such rotten behavior in his heart.
Hearing this, the old man turned his head: "This is a material card I found in the corner before, and it is estimated that the predecessors managed to hide it." β
"I was thinking about whether I could make a makeshift card to escape, but I didn't come up with a story for a week."
"I've already given up on the plan to go over, so it's better to leave these material cards here, maybe I can help those who come after."
With that, he lifted the brick and spread out a small package hidden inside.
Li Ming looked for his eyes, and there were twenty or thirty cards neatly placed in the small package, and there were all kinds of material cards of various categories.
Good guy, I didn't expect there to be a hole in this water prison!
Hidden inside the package are a number of material cards, which are of very low grade, ranging from broken to blue quality.
And next to those material cards, there are many suicide notes written in cloth and blood, which are full of regrets in their lives.
It's a pity that there is no way in and out of this water prison, and there is no possibility of escaping after coming in, and these suicide notes are likely to be buried here forever.
Seeing that Li Ming fell into deep thought, the old man on the side slowly spoke: "There is no light in this water prison, and there are few people who are not crazy after coming in, and it is even more fantastic to make up a story that can hide from the card examiner." β
Hearing this, Li Ming suddenly raised his head: "In that case, can you give me those material cards to try?" β
Li Ming's sudden question made the old man subconsciously sit up straight.
"You thought of the story?"
"I'm from Xingzhu No. 1 Middle School's card maker class, and I'm probably half a card maker? Why don't you let me try? Li Ming nodded lightly.
Half a card maker?
Doesn't that mean a card hasn't been done yet?
There are countless people in this world who want to become a card maker, but how many can actually become a card maker?
Not only is the number of material cards in the package limited, but the variety is very varied and the grade is low.
Even if you are an old fritter, you can't make up any useful stories, what can a mere "half card maker" do?
However, looking at Li Ming's firm eyes, he still handed the package hidden under the bricks to Li Ming.
Anyway, there is no hope, it doesn't matter who you give it, maybe you can break this young man's thoughts and let him cherish the last time.
"Thank you."
Li Ming took the package, spread out the cards in the palm of his hand, and pushed the material cards from his left hand to his right hand one by one, and looked at each one very carefully.
"Abyssal Diving Fishbone, Blue ......"
"Dragon's scale and fishtail, green ......"
"Wilderness Sea Serpent's Fang, Green ......"
"Dream Crocodile, Green ......"
"[Spirit Jellyfish], White ......"
Judging from the degree of damage to these material cards, it should not be just a certain person's material card, it is estimated that many "sacrifices" who were imprisoned in the water prison found this small package, and then put the material card on their own body in it.
There are even a few drops of dried blood on some of the material cards, and it is estimated that many people hate them here.
There are fish tails, fish bones, snake teeth, and even creatures in these material cards, which seem to be very complicated, but Li Ming still found a commonality.
They're basically aquatic material cards.
"Well, aquaponics...... Marine life ......"
In the Cthulhu Mythos, it's not uncommon for races to be associated with sea creatures.
However, ordinary families like Deep Divers, who are only slightly stronger than humans, are certainly not suitable, and they can overturn even a human, let alone those fish monsters outside.
Maybe those cultists still have a system of summoning cards in their hands, at least the combat effectiveness can't be too weak.
But with his current spiritual power, a race that is too strong will definitely not work.
In this world, there is also a certain price to make cards, not that you just throw a bunch of material cards and think about it.
Whether it's drawing or writing a story, each card production requires a certain amount of mental energy.
If the limit is exceeded, the card maker will pass out immediately due to mental exhaustion.
Therefore, you must be cautious about making cards for the first time, neither too weak, nor too strong, like Mr. Ke, a superior old ruler must not be able to do it, and the material card is not enough......
Li Ming stared at the material card in his hand and quickly went through all the gram creatures in his mind.
"No, no, this won't work......"
At this time, Li Ming was like a mental disorder, and the old man on the side didn't pay too much attention to it.
It's normal to have a nervous breakdown in such a desperate water prison.
But only half a minute later, Li Ming suddenly raised his head, and a figure that met all the conditions appeared in his mind. ββ
Dagon!!
Sea creatures, complete materials, and combat effectiveness is not weak!!
That's it!!
Although the material card in Li Ming's hand is not of high grade, it is better to have enough money, which is the confidence that Baijiafan brings him.
So, Li Ming closed his eyes lightly and began to invoke the spiritual power in his spiritual sea.
The surrounding scene suddenly became hazy and blurry, as if shrouded in a layer of fog, and at this time, Li Ming's body and mind were wandering in a mysterious ocean, and the boundless sea of consciousness in his field of vision was composed of consciousness.
He was in the very center of the spiritual sea, but he did not sink to the bottom of the sea, as if he were floating above the surface of the sea.
Li Ming tapped in the air, and a fluorescent white card floated in front of him.
Then, Li Ming raised his hand and filled in his name on the blank card-
γDagonγ!
As soon as the word fell,
The sixteen material cards selected by Li Ming around them slowly floated up as if they had come to life, hanging in the air.
And the sea of spirit under Li Ming's feet instantly burst into a stormy wave, frantically rushing to the blank card named "Dagon".
When the waves subsided, the sea level dropped by more than half!
After half of his mental power was extracted, Li Ming's intuitive feeling was that he became a little sleepy, and even his stomach began to growl.
At this time, the old man beside Li Ming in the real world not only witnessed the sixteen material cards floating in the air on the ground, but even felt a huge spiritual force rushing towards him.
"it??"
"You...... Are you really going to make a card?! β
In his voice, he was half surprised and half surprised.
But Li Ming didn't reply at this time, because now he is in the second step of card making.
Draw the card face!!
In fact, this step is also one of the important reasons why many people are blocked from the threshold of card makers.
Even though many people have different brains and imaginations, they can only sigh because of their lack of talent for painting.
After all, a person's spiritual sea has a limited capacity, so every time you draw a card face, you basically need to sketch.
And this is not a matter at all for Li Ming.
Because he had a hobby in his previous life, which was to draw some books.
There's no way, who made him a literary fighting boy, when arguing with the keyboard man, he likes to go through other people's circle of friends, come to a wave of speed drawing books, and completely crush the other party's self-esteem.
Wouldn't the identity of a myth researcher come in handy at this time?
Like something indescribable's tentacle PLAY, he has drawn it I don't know how many times, and it can be drawn in half an hour.
If the other party is a couple, they will even customize the NTR theme for each other.
Although Li Mingzhi is not a painter, he has already reached the peak in sketching.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and if you stay in the sea of spirits for one more second, your mental power will be depleted by a fraction.
After quickly establishing the appearance of Dagon's image in his mind, Li Ming, who was standing in the middle of the sea of spirits, stretched out his hand to volley a little, and a drawing card pen appeared between his fingers.
Subsequently, every time Li Ming put down his pen, the sea of spirit under his feet dropped a few millimeters.
And the paint on the tip of the pen also moves with Li Ming's mind, which can be regarded as saving the step of dipping ink in painting.
Relying on Li Ming's sketching experience accumulated when he was on the line with people in the past, it didn't take long for a treacherous and terrifying portrait of a fishman to appear on the blank card.
The overall tone is dark, mainly dark blue and dark green.
In the picture, a boulder stands in the middle of it, and a fish-man covered in scales and tentacles, with a high ridge with fins on his back, and vague features of a humanoid figure is presented.
Its huge tail on the lower half of its body was wrapped around the boulder, and its wide mouth was covered with fangs, like an indescribable and terrifying scene.
Whether this is the true appearance of Dagon, Li Ming does not know, after all, most of the gods in the Cthulhu Mythos strictly do not know their specific appearance, and only have a conceptual image.
However, this has no effect, as long as the next setting link can be rounded, the auditor will basically give it.
"It's me, it's so good."
"Then comes the most important step......
"Fill in the story."
