Halma, South District, Rice College.

In the drawing room on the sixth floor of the teaching building of the drawing department, Andu was waving the magic pen in his hand quickly, and the drawing of the card had been going on for more than ten minutes at this time.

The sweat on Andu's forehead slid silently, dripping on the black shabby cotton jacket on his body, there was not the slightest expression on his face, but if you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were full of persistence and determination.

Andu didn't have the energy to pay attention to the time, but his long experience kept reminding him that this card had been drawn beyond the normal drawing time of a card.

On the drawing table, in addition to the drawing compass that Andu had been using, there were five empty glass bottles, and there was no trace of painting paint left in the bottles.

Andu stared closely at the card in front of him, even the steady hands that had been exercising for four years began to show signs of intermittent tremors at this moment because of the long-term high-intensity drawing.

In Akmund, a normal card drawing usually takes five to seven minutes to finish, and the same is true of Andu's previous card drawing experience, which doesn't take more than ten minutes at most.

Andu had long thought that something might happen, but there was still a miscalculation, and he pursued perfection excessively, and finally used the drawing technique that he was best at.

Before Andu started drawing, that is, when he was waiting for the blood mutation of the Deep Cold Slime, he did not consider the use of three-dimensional drawing techniques, which may have some effects, including the load on the body, and the lack of spiritual spirit due to the lack of spirit that has not yet been bound to the card ring.

However, after making a choice, Andu still chose three-dimensional painting, after all, let him abandon his familiar techniques and use those basic drawing methods instead, this method Andu is unwilling, even if he may take some risks, Andu believes that he can solve it.

It's as awkward as Andulum can use multivariate equations to solve a simple problem, but is forced to use a one-dimensional equation to solve it.

However, the difficult practical requirements of the three-dimensional painting adopted by Andu, as well as the timely control of spirituality, caused him to have a delay in painting, which should have been completed in six minutes, and has not been completed until now, which cannot be made up by simply relying on technical awareness, and the omission of spiritual control, as well as the inability to immediately keep up with the thinking body, has caused a huge change in painting.

"After all, I'm in Akmund now, not the same person I used to be..."

Andu sighed silently in his heart, the technique he was once best at became the biggest drag at this time, and Andu once again realized how weak he was now.

As early as five minutes into the drawing, Andu had already discovered the problem, but at that time, the drawing had reached a critical juncture, and for a professional card painter, there was no reason to stop, and Andu decisively chose to continue.

With the continuation of three-dimensional painting, the requirements for physical strength and spiritual control began to increase geometrically, which made Andu's pressure more and more intense, and the speed of drawing became slower and slower.

Andu didn't have the energy to think about other things at this time, and at this time he was completely engaged in the drawing of the card in front of him.

"Faster, faster!!"

Andu roared silently in his heart, because he habitually used the three-dimensional drawing method, Andu's spirit was exhausted, and the huge pressure on his body made Andu keep switching the magic pen in his hand back and forth between his two hands.

But even this can't completely solve the pressure on both hands, although Andu has the same confidence in his left hand as his right hand, but in the four years of training subjects of "himself", he did not train his left hand.

While Andu gritted his teeth and draw, the time slowly came to twelve minutes, which was also the longest time Andu had ever drawn!

The drawing of the cards is nearing the end, the original blank card, painted with runes of different colors, seemingly unrelated, but complementing each other, obviously different colors of runes, but always in the most critical place to connect perfectly, some of the places that seem comical at the beginning of the drawing, but in the end they serve as the most important turning point, the whole picture seems to be unrelated at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that it is actually the same.

And all the runes and pictures on the card are limited to the frame that Andu first draws, as if giving the card a boundary, and at the same time, like the surrounding patterns, the rigorous and aesthetic framework has become an embellishment specially applied for the appreciation of the card, which invisibly raises the beauty of the entire card to a higher level.

Andu didn't have time to appreciate this beautiful card drawn by himself, all his eyes were focused on the center of the card, and his right hand holding the magic pen finally had a little leisure at this moment.

Andu gently put down the magic pen in his hand, and as this action was done, his right hand immediately trembled slightly, and beads of sweat the size of rice grains dripped from his calm face one after another like rain with broken threads, but his gaze did not move from beginning to end.

As Ando looked at it, it was the card that was almost finished.

As if in response to Andu's gaze, an object that seemed to be a creature in the center of the picture suddenly emitted a little blue light, and the picture that should have been dead and silent seemed to be given life, sending out bursts of rhythmic rhythms.

Andu didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, straightened his body, raised his head slightly, and looked solemnly at the card in front of him without any external force, and did not rise until it floated to the height of his eyes.

"In the name of Holbach Andu, I give you a new life!"

"Ice Elf!"

Andu's solemn voice echoed in the not-so-empty classroom, and the newly born card called the Ice Elf did not immediately return to peace.

For Andu, the process of drawing cards this time is completely different from the previous drawing cards, in the past, he only needed to click on the magic power to complete the drawing after completing the drawing, but now he must transfer his spirit to the card and give it a new life.

This is why the previous "self" has never succeeded, because he who can't pass the test of the ring stone will never be able to complete this last step, even if he can get all the right ones by relying on his own erudition and meticulousness, but when it comes to this last step, it is impossible to succeed in any way.

Andu's expression became more and more serious, controlling his sleepy brain, forcibly concentrating the last of his spirit, and transferring the last trace of spirituality that he could feel, the only one that he could control, into the card.

Without waiting for the card to react, Andu, who was spiritually exhausted, only felt that his eyes were dark, and then his body seemed to be hollowed out, and he fell to the ground first, and the collision between his body and the ground made a dull sound.

Andu struggled, but he didn't dare to fall asleep like this, the cold ground transmitted the temperature of the winter day to him through his hands, reminding him of the terrible consequences of falling asleep when even his underwear was soaked.

Andu and Sleepiness had a fierce battle, and the ice and snow elves on the other side who were given their names by Andu were also unwilling to do so, but the complete drawing and border, coupled with Andu's last spiritual indoctrination, made it have no chance to escape, and after just a few tens of seconds, it stopped its senseless resistance and returned to the center of the drawing compass, where it was originally located, and the picture on the card was finally frozen with this calm.

Andu lay on the ground for less than two minutes, and the cold to the bone completely stimulated his will to survive, and the cold underwear that had long been soaked with sweat firmly clung to his naked body in his padded jacket, this cold that hit the soul made Andu feel as if he had seen death waving at him.

He struggled to raise his left hand, which still had some strength, and pounded his legs hard, until there was a burst of pain in his legs, and Andu stopped self-harming and grinned, revealing an ugly smile.

While feeling the awakening of all the senses in his body and the invasion of cold, the smile on the corner of his mouth also turned into convulsions, and after a high-intensity operation on his right hand, complications finally appeared.

His right hand cramped.

Andu gasped as he sat up with his left hand, his ass twisting to the drawing table, and then leaning back against the drawing table, he began to rub his right hand incessantly to relieve the pain.

After rubbing for nearly two minutes, the condition of his right hand finally improved, but he chose to stand up with his left hand on the drawing table for the sake of safety.

After a few minutes of "rest", Andu finally had time to appreciate the card in the compass drawn in front of him, which had exhausted his painstaking efforts.

"I hope it's not too bad. ”

Andu prayed silently in his heart.

At this time, Andu was not in a hurry, first took two big breaths of fresh air, and then waved his right hand twice, making sure that there was no major problem, and then set his eyes on the card he named Ice Elf.

On the card, a transparent blue figure that appears to be a female character leaps onto it, floating in the endless frost, surrounded by countless towering mountains of ice and snow.

Her forehead was slightly condensed, her pupilless eyes were staring closely ahead, her long blue hair was scattered behind her ears by the cold wind, her delicate facial features were reflected by the white points of light floating around her body, revealing a paleness that was not human, her body was almost transparent, and she could even see the endless snow-capped mountains behind her under the illumination of the points of light.

"It's not good, it's not too bad. ”

Andu looked at the card that had taken a lot of effort to draw, and was slightly disappointed, but then there was a hint of joy.

The disappointment is that in the initial distraction, the card boundaries were drawn in advance, and the advantage of this drawing method is that it can greatly stabilize the drawing of the card and reduce the difficulty of drawing, but it is also destined that the quality of the card will not be too high.

Thanks to his mistake, he lowered the difficulty of the card's drawing by more than one level in advance, which allowed him to complete the subsequent drawing of the card, otherwise he would have to give up this option in the end.

With a smile on his face, and at the same time a hint of satisfaction, he silently picked up the ice and snow elf and stroked it gently, as if reminiscing about his past self.

"Your dream, I helped you make it happen. ”

Andu muttered softly.
