Chapter 141 A Glimpse

The magic barrier of the card-making workshop could even keep Boss Cat outside.

But now it seemed to enjoy watching Lan Qi make cards, and it squatted outside the workshop, quietly watching.

"Just one look, meow."

Boss Cat felt that listening to Lan Qi's card explosions was quite de-stressing, and it was even more curious about what kind of card he could make if he didn't explode.

It had overheard Tata and Hiberia chatting and realized that it had underestimated this young man!

Unexpectedly, he was a genius with a registered Gold-level Card Maker license from the South Continent Card Maker Association.

It was hard to imagine a Gold-level Card Maker failing to produce a single finished card even after exploding dozens of cards under its watchful eyes. It even made Boss Cat suspect that this kid was deliberately researching how to increase the power of his card explosions.

Lan Qi looked at the small black cat at the door and felt that a cat that occasionally came to his house was perfect for him. He experienced the joy of virtual cat ownership.

Then, Lan Qi stopped paying attention to Boss Cat and focused his attention back on what was in front of him.

All the equipment in the card-making workshop in the dormitory had been replaced with the highest-standard models provided by the Iqlit branch of the South Continent Card Maker Association. This was arranged for him by Vice President Lawrence, who was in charge of the examination at the time, and was delivered along with Lan Qi's temporary Gold-level Card Maker license before he completed the Platinum-level review.

Lan Qi first placed a deep purple rock cube-shaped prop loaded with a recording program on the cabinet on the far side of the workshop.

This prop could record the entire card-making process, which could be used to prove the maker of the magic card. In the Card Maker Association's patent application and promotion conditions, if the card was made in a non-officially witnessed occasion, the record of the process of making high-quality magic cards was quite important.

Vice President Lawrence told Lan Qi that there might be some high-level members of the Card Maker Association headquarters who were hostile to the Kingdom of Hutton or Duke Migea and would find fault with Lan Qi's ability and stability during the subsequent review process. Therefore, to be on the safe side, if Lan Qi had the opportunity to make high-quality magic cards, he must record them and use them as a trump card to gain the right to speak at the final review meeting.

Although the detailed steps of the production process and the attributes of the finished magic card could be hidden in the end, under the record and confirmation of this device, there was no possibility of faking the quality and rank of the final magic card produced.

After clearing a spacious space on the workbench, Lan Qi took out three divided trays from the three-tiered trolley next to him, which were filled with various materials. Lan Qi checked the pre-prepared proportions.

He placed them next to the workbench, and with the cooperation of Great Poet, he devoted the techniques he had honed day and night for more than half a year, and finalized the materials with a calm gaze and skilled techniques.

In order to make this sealing card with [Wolf King's Arrogant Heart] as the core material, Lan Qi had spent almost all of his savings just on purchasing auxiliary materials, including the money he had saved before, the bounty from the Saintess of Destruction, and the share of Professor Polao's compensation.

This was still considering that Vice President Lawrence had done his best to lower the price of the materials for him, and had purchased some high-rarity sealing auxiliary materials from branches in other countries as quickly as possible.

The final processing of the materials before use for Lan Qi and Great Poet alone might make ordinary card makers unable to steady their hands.

However, even Talia had praised Lan Qi for having a naturally good heart, and he would not be nervous at all even when walking on a tightrope.

This was precisely the state that most card makers could not reach even after a lifetime of cultivation.

And Lan Qi was just naturally like this in everything he did.

And so.

The clock in the living room ticked.

Unknowingly, several tens of minutes had passed.

"Great Poet, can we start?"

Lan Qi put down the last processed material that was ready for use and said to Great Poet, who was helping him to mix the magic ink.

In order to use the demon magic script without backlash in a human body, Great Poet as a medium was indispensable. At the same time, having such an assistant and collaborator was also what Lan Qi relied on to make high-quality magic cards now.

Her talent for understanding magical engineering seemed to have inherited from the magical craftsman who left the [Elegy of Compassion] in ancient times, as if she was the incarnation of that magical craftsman.

Moreover, part of the spells left in Great Poet's body by the [Elegy of Compassion] were incomprehensible even to Talia when she used the [Elegy of Compassion] to make cards. It could forcibly lock the target by race, gender, and true name, involving a mixture of curses and seals. With Lan Qi's current mastery of sealing techniques, he could not understand it at all, and could only see the terrifying level of that magical craftsman's magical attainments.

Great Poet's face also turned cold, and there was no emotion in her golden eyes.

"Just start yourself, I will help you."

Great Poet not only looked more serious, but she also completely imitated Talia in order to make Lan Qi feel like there was a strict supervisor beside him, helping him to enter the best immersive state.

"Okay."

The familiar cold gaze instantly put pressure on Lan Qi. He did not hesitate much. After entering the state, he took the magic ink that Great Poet had just prepared by grinding fire-attribute magic crystal powder and a sealing-specialized magic core liquid.

The moment he touched the test tube, the magic power on Lan Qi's body began to resonate and synchronize with the ink. The ink prepared by Great Poet seemed to be actively catering to Lan Qi's magic power.

Even if Lan Qi did not perform inspection and measurement, he was sure that Great Poet had prepared the best proportion for him.

He poured the ink into the magic pen, felt the flow of magic power, and unlocked the seal of [Wolf King's Arrogant Heart]. Along with the cracking and drifting of the solid silver stone layer on it, the cyan and purple interwoven veins gradually became clear, turning into a transparent jewel-like heart.

Then he entered an extremely important step in the entire process of making a summoning card: modifying and enchanting the core material, using it as a cornerstone to give magic spell circuits and structures, and expanding, extending, and connecting.

The entire process required all participating makers to be fully focused and achieve a high degree of synchronization, almost like two bodies with one mind.

As Lan Qi's pen strokes and carving knife trembled accurately, Great Poet also kept engraving the spell runes constructed by their magic power into each pre-calculated magic line. The mixed characters of human and demon magic scripts that were translated and rewritten were as dense as an insect nest and constantly wriggling, intricate and complex.

They both devoted themselves wholeheartedly to engraving, as if no matter how big the commotion outside the world, it had nothing to do with the space of this card-making workshop.

Gradually, the concept of time disappeared.

The minute hand of the clock in the living room had turned round and round again, and Boss Cat left Lan Qi's house at noon to bring him lunch and placed it on the table, but Lan Qi in the card-making workshop showed no sign of stopping work.
