Lu Weixier, a reporter for the Hutton Times and secretary of the Student Union, sat in the front row and couldn't wait to interview Lanqi and Karen.
Although Lanqi didn't know her, after all, they had never met in the student union room, but she had already known Lanqi and Hyperion, the two new student union members.
In this short waiting moment.
Dean Loren's previous instructions actually aroused some interest in Karen.
She looked up at Lanqi beside her.
"Is it so that Mr. Lanqi is good at making cards?"
Kallen asked in a low voice, curious.
There are many kinds of magic craftsmen. Among those who are good at magic engineering in the Sage Academy, there are more scroll masters and appraisers.
Most professional magic craftsmen would go to the Magic Academy instead of choosing to attend the Sage Academy which mainly trains combat professionals.
Loren let Lanqi observe the original stone slab. This must be because Lanqi has a talent for magical engineering and possesses some kind of magical craftsman function.
I didn’t expect that Lanqi’s specialty is card making.
"Understood."
Lanci replied.
He could tell that Dean Loren's words just now meant that he should be humble, so he would naturally be more steady than usual.
"Dean Loren said that you are good at making cards. Do you know how valuable this compliment is?"
Kallen smiled slyly, Lanqi and the others had been with Loren for a long time and often did not realize how important Loren was in the eyes of other kingdoms.
"Dean Loren has never seen me blow up a card."
Lanci sighed.
For example, Tata just says that he is a rubbish card bomber all day long.
While they were chatting quietly, after all the routine procedures were in place, Loren walked back to the vicinity of Lan Qi and Karen again.
The two also stopped chatting.
"Get ready to start."
As Loren spoke, he summoned up an ancient stone floating board without pause. The thin, small and warm texture had become deep and rich in color due to the baptism of time. The faint magic lines were sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and the blue-gray waves swayed in the wind, as if telling a story that had been deposited for tens of millions of years.
The moment this stone slab appeared, the entire ancient library seemed to be filled with a breeze. Every slight airflow would cause a few pages of books to turn, dancing in the sunlight, like the elves of the hall, light and agile.
Feeling the emergence of this terrifying magical power, many students on the upper floors were attracted and gathered on the terrace to watch the fun, looking at Dean Loren in the center of the square on the base floor of the Ancient Tower Library.
As Loren injected magic power into this uniquely shaped epic magic card, more and more cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the stone sculpture.
Until the entire stone slab cracked, revealing its original true appearance.
It is a magic card that is as transparent as crystal and looming.
But what really attracts people's attention is——
It was the strange light that flashed, not pure orange, but mixed with a hint of scarlet!
The next second, the card suspended in the air devoured a certain amount of Loren's magic power and instantly began to fission, forming a small void door that appeared in the center of the ancient tower library.
"It's time to start."
Maintaining the original stone slab in its unfolded state requires consuming Loren's magic power.
But he believed that even without him saying much, Lanqi and Kallen knew what to do next, because the process was similar to entering the shadow world.
The two men greeted Loren and passed through the void door one after another.
Unlike the real shadow world, this slate realm is more like an artificial shadow world, without the need for a matching process and waiting time.
In the disordered darkness, in just a few seconds, the whole world lit up again.
Chapter 216 Lanqi can't forget his career ambition
When the surrounding scenery became bright again, I saw a green mountain range stretching to the horizon, with lush green meadows connecting to winding streams.
The stream is crystal clear and flows continuously. The rippling green waves reflect the swaying figures of the trees. From a distance, it looks like a pure sky, bringing a dreamlike and psychedelic color to the scenery.
Lanqi was standing on a high ground at this time. White stone walls were irregularly arranged in layers and connected in a line, eventually forming a solemn temple. Lush vines were entwined around the towering stone pillars, and they were dotted with flowers, which trembled gently in the breeze.
Tall, flawless stone pillars firmly support the exquisitely carved pure white ceiling, and the reliefs carved on it exude a strangely sacred and solemn charm.
The mirror-like floor reflects the sunlight coming through the high-hanging chandeliers, and in the center of the temple, looking out, you can take in the refreshing green scenery outside.
“I didn’t expect there is such a beautiful place like a fairyland.”
Lanqi murmured as he looked at this primitive and mysterious area.
"..."
Kallen glanced at him speechlessly.
He is indeed an outsider who can only see the surface.
This area seems to be an extremely vast space, but in fact it is a projection produced by the supreme barrier technique, and its principle is somewhat similar to that of an artificial projection world.
But this space is also different from the real shadow world. It is very different from the real shadow world.
It can be said to be a kind of existence between the artificial shadow world and the real shadow world.
However, due to its defects, it is impossible to go too far. The farthest it can go is a certain distance away from the temple, and it will feel difficult to move forward.
Supporting the entire area is a huge mural in the center of the temple.
The mural does not look complete, and it is easy to tell that it is the prototype of the [Original Slate - Wind] stone carving float. There are obvious traces of modification by magic craftsmen on it, and it is engraved with complex barrier spells, but the material itself is not a product that can be created by human magic technology.
"Mr. Lanqi, you didn't come here to see the scenery. If you want to gain insights, you should pay more attention to the murals."
Kallen reminded.
She couldn't tell what level Lanqi was at for the time being, but she was always a little concerned about what Loren said about Lanqi's card-making skills.
After a brief exchange, it is easy to judge.
Lanci turned his attention to the murals and became fascinated.
Until a moment later.
"It is said that the murals on these thirty-two original stone slabs, when put together completely, depict a magnificent war in the Age of Gods. It was not until the gods died that the later generations, each of which belonged to many living beings, came into being. It is truly shocking to see it with one's own eyes."
Lan Qi finally spoke.
"Do you really not care about the magic spells on the murals at all?"
Karen was very disappointed. She didn't know how Lanci could seriously lament something that was written in textbooks.
“I think the mural itself is more interesting.”
Lanqi smiled and said.
"You can find that kind of stuff in the society's books."
Especially the [Original Slate-Wind] and other slates that have been thoroughly studied by major academic societies in recent years.
“It’s different to see it in person and see the image.”
The two walked and talked as they wandered around the temple.
In this space, one can feel increasing mental pressure. No matter what realm one is in, one will be almost excluded after two hours, and will never be able to enter this area again. In this respect, it is more similar to the real movie world and has unique challenges.
It doesn’t take too long to understand how much of the barrier spells on the murals are worth understanding.
Sometimes, when you have seen enough and don't want to be under any more mental pressure, you can just leave directly, so there are also cases where the magic craftsman's observation time is very short.
Generally, only card makers have longer observation time. Since this area has a structure similar to that of the Shadow World, card makers can bring in portable card-making tool sets in the form of magic cards, use the unique materials in the original slate area to make magic cards, and take them out with soul-bound.
This is also the principle by which battlefield card makers can increase their gains in the Shadow World. When entering and exiting the Shadow World, only magic cards bound to the soul can be brought in and out. Therefore, only by creating magic cards in the Shadow World can there be a small chance of taking out the precious materials obtained in the process of conquering the Shadow World in another form.
In less than half an hour, they had already seen almost everything.
"Lanqi, how do you feel?"
Kallen asked with interest.
The only thing she was curious about now was what level of card maker Lanqi was as Loren was optimistic about.
"I don't really understand spells related to wind magic, so I can only learn more this time."
Lanqi told the truth.
After he finished looking at the murals, he really only felt that the scenery was beautiful and the murals were nice-looking. It was a style that even he, as the main artist, had never seen before.
But when it comes to the wind magic rituals mentioned above, he feels like he has no idea what's going on - only that six of his seven magic rituals are working.
Just like most people couldn't understand sealing magic, he couldn't understand wind magic either.
Unless he were asked to appreciate the murals themselves, he could offer a lot of insights.
"You're so cute, Ranki-san."
Kallen tilted her head and said to Lanqi with a smile,
"So are you still planning to make cards later?"
The materials in the temple are actually not that high-end, just some scraps of the original stone slabs.
If you don't understand the barrier spell of the original slate itself, then you won't be able to make any valuable magic cards even if you use materials that are somewhat similar to it.
"You can do it or not. I want to see the mural again."
Lanqi answered in a very Buddhist way.
"Then I won't wait for you. I will make the card here next. You can watch from the side. As for how much you can understand, it depends on your understanding."
Kallen spoke to Ranchi like a kind senior.
On the surface, her attitude was very friendly, but in fact, she still held a grudge against Lanqi and was eager to find an opportunity to humiliate him severely.
The most intuitive way to see how much observation results a card maker has achieved is to look at what cards he has made.
There are scholars and reporters waiting outside now, and the stake has been set up for Lanqi.
Moreover, considering Lanqi’s illiterate level of magic in the conversation just now, how can Loren have the nerve to say that he is very powerful?
