ell, now she seems to be getting more and more casual about herself.Sometimes I don't feel like she's a girl at all. In fact, her actions and demeanor are very masculine."Go on, Ranchi, show the peopl...Chapter 216: Ranch Can't Forget His Ambition

When the surroundings brightened again, a verdant mountain range stretched to the horizon, where lush grasslands met winding streams like ribbons. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the website directly through your browser to view the fastest chapter updates.)

The stream is crystal clear and flows incessantly. Its emerald waves ripple, reflecting the graceful swaying of the trees. Looking from afar, it resembles a pure sky, adding a dreamlike and enchanting touch to this picturesque scene.

Lan Qi stood at this moment upon a high place, surrounded by irregular layers of white stone walls that stretched into the distance, forming a majestic temple. Towering pillars entwined with lush vines adorned with blossoms swayed gently in the breeze.

Pillar after pillar, tall and flawless, stood firmly supporting the exquisitely carved pure white ceiling. The carvings upon it radiated an unearthly, sacred and solemn air.

The polished floor reflected the sunlight filtering through the ornate hanging lamps, and from the center of the temple, one could gaze out upon the breathtaking expanse of green.

"I can't believe there's such a fairyland-like beautiful place."

Lance gazed at this primeval and mysterious domain, murmuring to himself.

"……"

Karen shot him a speechless glance.

He's clearly an outsider, only able to see the surface.

This area appears to be an extraordinarily vast expanse, but in reality, it is a projection generated by a powerful barrier magic array. Its principle is somewhat similar to that of an artificial world of illusions.

But this space is also different from the real shadow world, it's far too inferior compared to the true shadow world.

It can be said to be a kind of existence that lies between the artificial world of film and the real world of filmmaking.

But due to its flaws, it was incapable of traveling very far. At a certain distance from the temple, one would feel as though every step was an immense struggle.

Supporting the entire domain was a massive mural at the center of the temple.

The mural does not appear complete, and it is easy to see that it is a prototype of the original slate - wind stone carving panel. It bears clear signs of alteration by a magical craftsman, etched with complex barrier runes. However, the material itself was not created using human magic technology.

"Ranchi, you're not here just to admire the scenery. If you want to gain insight, pay more attention to the murals."

Karen reminded.

She couldn't quite gauge Rance's level for the time being, but Lorraine's words about his amazing card-making skills kept lingering in her mind.

A brief exchange will make it easy to judge.

Lancy's gaze fell upon the murals, becoming gradually entranced.

Until after a while.

It is said that when these thirty-two original stone slabs are pieced together, they depict a magnificent battle of the gods that lasted until their demise. Only then did an era belonging to various creatures come into being. Seeing it with my own eyes was truly awe-inspiring.

Finally, Lanchi spoke.

"Aren't you at all curious about the magical runes on the mural"

Karen was deeply disappointed. She couldn't understand how Lance could be so serious about something that was plainly stated in textbooks.

I think the mural itself is more interesting.

Ranch smiled and said.

That kind of thing can be seen in the books on how to learn.

Especially the [Ancient Slate - Wind] which these years have been thoroughly researched by various universities.

Seeing with your own eyes is different from looking at an image.

The two of them chatted as they walked, wandering around the temple.

In this space, one can feel increasingly mounting mental pressure. Regardless of one's level, after about two hours, you will be gradually excluded and thereafter unable to enter this realm again. In this regard, it is more similar to the true Shadow Realm, possessing a unique and unrepeatable challenge.

The barrier sigil on the wall painting, how much can you actually understand It's not something that will be useful for long.

Sometimes, when you feel overwhelmed and don't want to endure the mental pressure any longer, you can simply leave. That's why there are cases where master craftsmen have very short observation times.

Generally, only card makers spend a longer time observing because this field has a structure similar to the shadow world. Card makers can bring in portable card-making tool kits in the form of magic cards, use unique materials from the primordial slate realm to create magic cards, and bind their souls to them before taking them out.

This is also the principle by which battlefield card crafters can increase their Shadow World harvest. When entering and leaving the Shadow World, only magic cards bound to souls can be brought in and out. Therefore, only by crafting magic cards within the Shadow World is there a small chance of taking valuable materials obtained during the Shadow World strategy process out in another form.

In about half an hour, the two of them had pretty much finished observing.

"Ranchi classmate, how are you feeling"

Karen asked with interest.

Now she was only curious about what level Lancy, the cardmaker favored by Lauren, really had.

"I don't quite understand wind attribute magic spells. This time, I can only broaden my horizons."

Ranch speaks the truth.

After he finished watching, he really only felt that the scenery was beautiful and the murals were pretty. It was a style he had never seen before, even as the art director.

But when it came to the wind magic spells mentioned above, he felt like he had six of his seven orifices blocked — completely clueless about the seventh.

Just like ordinary people can't understand sealing magic, he couldn't understand wind magic either.

Unless he wanted to appreciate the murals themselves, he could offer quite a few insights.

"What a cute one, Ranchi-kun."

Ka Lian tilted her head and smiled at Lance,

Then are you still going to make a card later

The materials in the temple weren't actually very high-grade, just some scraps of leftover stone from the initial construction.

If you can't understand the barrier glyphs on the original stone tablet, then even using materials with a certain degree of origin in common with it won't allow you to create any valuable magic cards.

"I can do it, or I don't have to. I want to look at the murals again."

Lanci replied very calmly.

"Then I won't wait for you. I'll be making cards here next. You can watch beside me, and how much you understand will depend on your comprehension."

Karen spoke to Lance like a kind, friendly older sister.

On the surface, her attitude was very friendly. In reality, she still held a grudge against Lance and wished to find an opportunity to shame him thoroughly.

The most direct way to see a card maker's achievements is to look at the cards they have made.

Now there are scholars and reporters outside waiting, and the pyre has been set up for Lynch.

And to think, Lance's magical proficiency was about as skilled as a blacksmith who couldn't read! Loren had the audacity to call him talented

Karen could only feel amusement.

Then she'll make a good card, and when she sees what Lance made, she can give him a hard time.

"Hmm."

Lancelot embraced his hands and sat on the stone steps that piled up like boxes not far away, watching Karen.

He wasn't in a hurry to make the card because he genuinely didn't understand the principles of the magical engineering glyphs on the original slate.

He hasn't even cast wind-attribute magic cards before, and his compatibility with them is terrible. It's a miracle that the cards don't explode using these slate materials!

But now watching the card Lian make cards is meaningful.

In the southeastern region of South America, there are only so many master card makers at the platinum level.

While the Platinum-level card maker exam often requires three Platinum-level or higher card makers to serve as examiners.

The Kingdom of Aloran and the Kingdom of Henton belong to the same examination district. When the South Continental Card Masters Association assigns examiners for the Platinum-level card master exam, according to the principle of proximity, Lance is very likely to fill in the vacancy left by Duke Mygaya and participate in the examination.

Karen will definitely take the Platinum-Level Card Maker exam in the future, she is a very suitable candidate.

Lanche is now practicing being an exam invigilator in advance.
