Don't Confiscate My Citizenship Chapter 11

 Chapter 11 Lan Qi's New Abacus

Thalia looked away from the card with purple light, a trace of helplessness in her eyes, and she sighed vaguely.

　　Having not made another card for a long time, she had almost forgotten the light that accompanies the flow of magic power on the card.

 Especially when made and activated, the color will be extremely bright.

This grade largely reflects the strength, value and rarity of the card.

 The lowest [White Normal] can be found everywhere, and it is also the most circulated magic card on the market.

Most of them are life spells, with few additional effect equipment and summons.

The magic cards of [Blue Precious] will have complete and practical effects. They are exquisite and flawless works that require stable and superb skills to produce.

  If a new card maker can make magic cards of this quality, they often have extraordinary talent.

  The more advanced [Purple Rare] magic cards have begun to undergo qualitative changes in both value and strength, and ordinary people simply cannot afford their prices.

 For wealthy nobles and most powerful men, purple-level magic cards are often also key cards that match combat professions and form their own system.

If a magic card of this level has some practical additional effects, even if the value is low, it may have some unexpected effects.

 The higher levels, most people don't even know much about them.

  After all, [Pink Holy] level magic cards are, to most humans, more like symbols and symbols that are far away.

In a city like this on the border of the kingdom, it is probably difficult to see the owner of the sacred card all year round.

The reason why it is rare is not only its rarity, but also the fact that you need to think carefully before binding its soul.

 Under normal circumstances, magic cards are not tied to oneself after being used.

 It's just that the higher the level, the greater the cost of unbinding the soul.

However, once it is a [Pink Holy] level magic card, it cannot be unbound and re-bound at will like the first three cards. It requires cumbersome re-encapsulation steps and will cause long-term consequences to the binder. The damage of time.

As for [Orange Epic], it is the highest level magic card that exists in the world and can be seen by living beings.

Each epic card is unique and will anchor the world and run through history.

 Once it is bound to your soul, it is difficult to unbind it even if you pay the price.

 Forced cancellation will cause both the user and the card to suffer irreversible damage and damage.

Therefore, white, blue and purple have high mobility and can change their combinations at any time according to tactics. Although pink and orange have more powerful power, in the long run, even if they have the opportunity to bind, they must think clearly whether it fits with their own system.

 In the ancient legends of the devil world, there is a level above the epic, but it has not appeared for thousands of years. With the demise of the demon clan, clues about this card have become increasingly difficult to find...

To the well-informed Thalia, the rare quality of noble purple is nothing.

  She has done countless things herself.

 But compared to the quality of the cards produced by Lanci, Thalia was more surprised by the strange effects of the cards.

 Generally speaking.

 The early works of card makers can all reflect the card making style of their career.

Natalia, it's hard to guess that this guy will do something more extreme in the future.

Talia was lost in her thoughts for a moment, causing the card-making workshop to fall into silence again.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lan Qi stopped disturbing her.

The tranquil afternoon sun quietly penetrated through the clouds, and the silhouette of the window lattice was reflected on the brown floor, flickering brightly and dimly.

The two weeks of sleepless work finally came to fruition. Lan Qi gradually relaxed and leaned back on his chair, feeling rarely sleepy during this nap time.

Time in the card-making workshop seemed to have frozen for a short time, and a strange tranquility filled the air. The engraving pens, alchemy pots, ink bottles and other props on the workbench also seem to be endowed with souls, whispering sleep psalms in this fantasy country. However, at the moment when Lan Qi was about to fall into a dream, like the strings in the wind, Thalia's question awakened his mind again.

"How old are you."

Her voice was as cold as ever, without any emotion.

 “It will be my 17th birthday next year.”

Lanchi raised his head and stared at Thalia.

 He answered in a more rigorous way.

  After all, he didn't know if Talia would judge him as a lie if he directly said he was 16 years old.

The age of my body must be 16 years old, and the age of my soul should probably be calculated based on the age before I traveled through time.

“Then it's not too late for you to learn how to make cards.”

Thalia took another look at the boy in front of her.

Over the past few days, she has watched with her own eyes as Lan Qi went from being completely unfamiliar with practice to gradually becoming somewhat proficient, so she was very sure that Lan Qi did not have much experience in card making before.

According to her experience of wandering from the northernmost tip of the continent to the south and passing through many human countries over the years, this young man named Lan Qi, in addition to starting late in learning among human card makers, has a low rank and can already be called A born magic craftsman.

“Tata, do you think the magic cards I made are pretty good?”

 Lan Qi still had a natural smile on his face.

His words did not mean to show off, but he seemed to be very convinced that Thalia had extraordinary knowledge, so he sincerely asked for advice.

“…if it can be produced, once it enters the market, it may become a new universal card.”

 After a brief silence, Thalia replied.

 The reason why this card is widely used is very simple.

 Because everyone will want to buy it.

 By the time this card is circulated, the nature of the battle may have changed.

 Making the enemy kneel may be more important than winning or losing.

And, in a fair competition, this is also a kind of deterrence - "If you dare to make me kneel down, I will make you kneel down in return." It can be used without it, but it cannot be left out.

Although Thalia thought that Lan Qi really deserved to die when she thought about having to be prepared for the enemy to use this sword tomb spell anytime in the future.

However, in the long run, if the fighting spirit of mankind is turned into a mess, it will also be a good thing for her restoration cause.

So she will not take the initiative to stop Lanqi from abusing this card to pollute the human magic card system and environment.

 “That's it.”

 Lanci picked up the card [Basic Etiquette] in his hand and looked at it. A rather friendly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he turned to look at Thalia.

"I can't give you this one, but I am willing to sell you the next one. According to the success rate, it will probably take several days. I am busy preparing for the exam recently, so I can only help you make it after the exam is over. "

"How much."

Thalia was slightly surprised, but she asked without hesitation. There was no questioning tone in her words, or the questions coming out of her mouth would become declarative sentences.

She knew that before this kind of general-purpose card was officially circulated, it was still in a state of scarcity and undoubtedly had the highest value.

 Even, as a first edition, it contains the value called “recipe”.

 Since Lan Qi is willing to give her the second deal, the price will definitely not be small.
