Poor Xi Xi

Chapter 173 Lan Qi's Epic Loot

Only a few stars dotted the pitch-black boundary space.

The three received their respective rewards.

They looked at the three magic cards and items, however.

The unbound, unowned items were still in a sealed state, making it easy to determine their effects through identification magic.

The orange epic card in Lan Qi's hand, radiating frosty mist and surrounded by a glass-like halo, was clearly extraordinary.

In the very center of the card, a mysterious necklace shimmered faintly. The chain was formed of agile, non-substantial silver light, and the pendant was a teardrop-shaped piece of glass that flashed different colors in the light. A line of tiny ancient characters was engraved on the pendant, and no one could recognize their meaning. All that was known was that the glass teardrop emitted a warm light, like a pearl illuminating the darkness and dispelling death.

[Tears of Immortal Glass]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Tier: 4]

[Effect: When this necklace is worn, the more beneficial and detrimental status effects on the wearer, the higher the damage reduction and all attribute enhancement gained. Immune to fatal damage and restores to full health when fatal damage is received. Cooldown time: 30 days. Cannot be stacked with other damage reduction or fatal damage immunity card effects.]

[Note: On the night of the fifth day, everyone had died, and the Son of the Sun could no longer wait for the next dawn. The Wolf gave him his heart, and the Witch gave him her blood. Looking at the Son of the Sun returning from hell, this time, Count Augustine felt fear.]

"With this equipment, Lan Qi, you'll become a magic tank. Mages of the same tier won't be able to hurt you at all."

Hyperion murmured in surprise.

She couldn't imagine how high the quality of the tank Lan Qi would become if he became a front-liner.

Lan Qi's stability in drawing aggro could always be trusted.

It just so happened that Lan Qi also lacked a magic card that granted immunity to fatal injuries.

Magic cards with immunity to fatal damage effects were very rare, generally at least pink divine grade, and could not be stacked.

Hyperion's own card was a former masterpiece left by her father, Duke Migea.

While she was thinking, she looked at the magic card in her hand.

[The Witch's Warm Company]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Rarity: Pink Divine]

[Tier: 5]

[Effect: After equipping this earring, a one-time magic shield that can resist attacks of the eighth tier can be triggered. Cooldown time: 24 hours.]

[Note: The Witch has disappeared, transformed into an eternally warm companion. The Son of the Sun bears one more epitaph, but he will continue to move forward alone until the day when the human race sees the light again.]

Hyperion held up this magic card and faced the starlight. The shape of the equipment became clearer. Compared to Lan Qi's necklace, hers was a delicate earring, made of starlight-like silver metal. The earring's pendant was also a teardrop-shaped gemstone. The subtle curves and luster gave a feeling of warmth, as if it carried the silent prayers of an ancient witch every day.

In short, it was a good all-around card that anyone could use.

Although it would be difficult to remove after the pink divine grade was bound, it was definitely worth spending a five-cost card slot to obtain such a life-saving equipment.

Unlike Hyperion and Lan Qi, whose rewards were all magic cards, Frey was the only one who received materials.

It was a stone carefully sculpted by time and magic. The surface was covered with a peculiar silver-gray texture, but it was actually a heart. In certain lights, you could even see the light flowing inside, a miraculous magic shimmering.

Just touching it would make you feel a strong vitality beating, containing the arrogance and will of an absolute powerhouse.

[Wolf King's Pride Heart]

[Category: Magic Item]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Tier: 1]

[Effect: The heart of the wolf clan's last prince, it can be used as the highest-level regeneration or sealing material.]

[Note: The werewolves still have a glimmer of hope. The Son of the Sun sealed him and hid him under the cliff. Without his heart, he has almost no wolf power left, but in the light of the moon, perhaps he will wake up again in hundreds of years.]

Frey could only helplessly look at Lan Qi.

Although this material was no worse than any finished epic magic card, it could not be used directly.

A card maker capable of using this material would have to be at least platinum level.

The only card maker he knew and trusted was Lan Qi.

After the Shadow World's information update was completed, the series of Shadow World missions from the end of their last challenge also appeared—

[Series Shadow World—Blood Moon Blighted World, historical coordinates have been anchored, current completion rate 2/4.]

[Before the end of the Series Shadow World, current challengers have a higher probability of entering the third node of "Blood Moon Blighted World."]

[Mission Objective: Clear the final node with an SSS grade rating.]

Although it was unknown what the reward would be if this series of final missions was completed.

But it would definitely not be lower than epic.

"Speaking of which, do the notes on these three rewards tell the story of the original history corresponding to this Shadow World?"

Frey glanced at the magic cards and magic props in the hands of the three of them again. It seemed that the card illustrations and notes together told a story.

"It really is a tragedy."

Hyperion sighed.

If they couldn't catch the traitor on the first day like they did, it would be a rather nightmarish five days and five nights. Given the traitor's strength and vampire authority, the other members of the church had little hope of winning.

Even if they won in the end, it would be an incredibly tragic victory. Perhaps for those who survived, it would be even more painful than for the dead.

While they were chatting, only Lan Qi remained silent.

"..."

Lan Qi stared at the orange epic in his hand and thought.

"Frey, how about I exchange this teardrop necklace for your wolf heart?"

He looked at Frey and asked.

It was difficult to estimate the value of both [Tears of Immortal Glass] and [Wolf King's Pride Heart].

However, one was stable, and the other required gambling on the card maker's performance.

At least in Lan Qi's view, they were equal.

As he acquired more and more orange epics, the number of empty slots he could flexibly equip with other magic cards became less and less.

Even the top eight-tier experts of the current era generally would not bind too many orange epic and pink divine magic cards.

Permanent, non-unbindable epic cards required particularly careful selection.

Lan Qi felt that he was not suitable for using up a permanent four-cost to follow the magic tank route.

When he had to tank damage, the situation must be close to collapse.

On the other hand, this epic could also be used by Frey, and if he obtained Frey's epic material, he might be able to make a sealing magic card that was more suitable for him.

Lan Qi had such a feeling.

During the winter vacation two months later, he would definitely change into a new persona when he went to the Northern Continent.

To ensure that he wouldn't be recognized, he definitely couldn't use the two iconic epic magic cards, [Poet of Great Love] and [Radiant Virtue], that he had used in public so far.

Only [Beautiful Notes], which could summon the Chorus of Hell and was obtained at the Inferno Corridor Academy last time, had never been used in front of anyone. When he went to the Northern Continent, he could use it as his new persona's trump card.

But this one control card was not enough.

He also needed a new core trump card, and even use it to develop his second profession, [Sealer].

"No problem."

Frey naturally understood Lan Qi's meaning. He was willing to spend a four-cost card slot to permanently bind this equipment.

If he obtained [Tears of Immortal Glass], even if he fought the Saintess of Destruction one-on-one in any terrain, Frey was confident that he was stronger.

Then Frey simply handed the [Wolf King's Pride Heart] to Lan Qi, and Lan Qi also gave the [Tears of Immortal Glass] to Frey.

"This heart..."

When Lan Qi touched this heart containing a powerful force, it seemed to resonate with his own heartbeat. Even his soul had an unspeakable attraction to it. The only thing he could be sure of was that he and it had excellent compatibility.

He remembered that when Talia obtained [Compassionate Poem], she had murmured that it was a soul resonance she had never felt before in her life, and she was also sure that she was the only one who could turn this material into a masterpiece.

Lan Qi couldn't understand the feeling Talia had described at the time.

But now he seemed to feel it.

He was even a little eager to start preparing the magic card creation with [Wolf King's Pride Heart] as the core material!

After sending off the academic visiting team from the Kingdom of Yarolan.

He could safely start making cards.

"By the way, when we went back, the team from the Kingdom of Yarolan had already arrived at the school..."

Hyperion looked outside the door of the boundary space, her expression a little worried, obviously very worried about being separated from the two of them.

There was a hidden elite Rebirth Cultist in the Kingdom of Yarolan's visiting team who could kill her when she was alone at any time.

"When the three of us are not in the student council, I will summon the Poet of Great Love and let her live with you in your dormitory. Having her by your side is not much different from being with me."

Lan Qi moved his gaze away from [Wolf King's Pride Heart] and looked at Hyperion.

After being promoted to the fourth tier, Lan Qi's spirit was greatly improved again. His mana limit, mana recovery speed, spell resistance, and other attributes were also significantly improved. Even maintaining the Poet of Great Love's summoning state for a long time was not a big problem.

It was no problem when the three of them were together during the day, but when they separated at night, they had to let the Poet of Great Love accompany Hyperion.

He would also give [Radiant Virtue] and [Beautiful Notes] to the Poet of Great Love.

At that time, if there was a situation, with the Poet of Great Love and Hyperion cooperating, it would be almost equivalent to Lan Qi himself being there.

Generally, it was almost impossible for summoned creatures to use magic cards on behalf of the summoner, but the Poet of Great Love not only had extremely high intelligence but was also good at making and using magic cards. She could also use all the magic cards bound to Lan Qi's soul, but the mana consumption was borne by Lan Qi.

"Then what about you?"

Hyperion asked worriedly.

Lan Qi himself was also very dangerous without the Poet of Great Love, not to mention that if he kept maintaining the Poet of Great Love's summoning, Lan Qi's mana would continue to decrease and be in an insufficient state.

"I'll live with Frey for the next few days."

Lan Qi patted Frey's shoulder and said.

Anyway, Frey also lived on the first floor of the Knight's Academy, and the dormitory was very spacious.

"Then we can play cards all night."

Frey also smiled and said to Lan Qi.

When they were good brothers together, there was no case they couldn't solve.

"In that case... I'll live with Lanfu for a few days."

Hyperion also nodded in peace of mind.

She actually liked getting along with the Poet of Great Love very much. The Poet of Great Love was the first girl who could get along with her without any grudges.

Maybe it was because the Poet of Great Love herself was a demon.

"Take good care of her."

Lan Qi couldn't control the Poet of Great Love like controlling a normal summoned creature. The Poet of Great Love not only had her own ideas, but she also made her own decisions.

After being far away, Lan Qi had no way of knowing what she would do. He could only communicate with her in his mind.

Usually, even when giving instructions, he used requests.

There was no summoned creature like the Poet of Great Love who required the summoner to ask the summoned creature to do things before she would consider whether to do it.

Therefore, after letting the Poet of Great Love leave his sight, someone had to keep an eye on her before Lan Qi could rest assured.

"I will."

Hyperion also nodded.

After thinking about it carefully, she felt quite happy to be able to play with Lanfu every day.

Then the three chatted for a while and walked together towards the void gate returning to the real world.

"Let's meet the academic visiting team from the Kingdom of Yarolan."

"Be sure to get along with international friends in a friendly manner, show the high quality of us Yikerites, and create a civilized city. The responsibility lies with you and me."

"..."

The three chatted and laughed, completely bidding farewell to this unforgettable five-day tour of the cliff castle.

Anyway.

Their beautiful Yikerite campus life was about to begin!
