Transcendent Dawn

The mahogany dining table is covered with a white tablecloth, and in the middle is a lit silver candlestick.

The light from the candlesticks merges with the crystal chandelier on the roof, adding a dreamlike atmosphere to the somewhat dim environment.

The chefs and maids kept bringing sumptuous dishes to the table, and the mouth-watering aroma filled the air.

"Come, for friendship!"

On the main seat, Billy looked at Sulu at the other end of the table and toasted.

"For friendship!"

Sulu didn't feel apologetic about slaughtering black-hearted local tyrants, and drank the high-end white wine in his glass.

While Sulu was cutting a grilled steak, a well-dressed man who looked like a secretary walked into the living room.

"Master."

He looked at Billy and bowed slightly, as if it was just for etiquette, with a faint arrogance on his body.

"Ron, this is my secretary - Ian! You can tell him anything, Ian is very capable!"

Billy laughed.

'Is this... the extraordinary bodyguard sent by Billy's family? '

Sulu glanced at it: 'It turned out to be [Apprentice], that's really good. '

The profession of spellcasting is a little rarer than that of the physical side. It is considered a very high standard for the Dourif family to send an [apprentice] to protect Billy.

After all, Billy is not the core of the family, and the city of Niah has become very 'clean' after the disaster some time ago!

No matter whether it is a cultist or a devil worshiper, it is impossible to stay here.

If you just deal with general dangers, the first-level [apprentice] is enough.

"Mr. Ian, I will trouble you in the future!"

Sulu raised his wine glass in greeting, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Nothing! It is my honor to serve you two!"

Ian was a little puzzled, thinking that among Billy's cronies, there seemed to be no such person.

But he didn't say much, he just wanted to investigate after he was ready to go down.

He is not Sulu, without the means of investigation in the spiritual world, naturally he cannot discover Sulu's specialness.

...

It was night.

In the most luxurious room in the manor.

After taking a comfortable bath, Sulu, who had washed away his exhaustion from the long-term travel, came to the desk in a loose robe.

He opened the suitcase, took out the supernatural materials inside, and put them on the table.

"There is no suitable environment on the train to complete my occult practice... Now, I can finally start!"

Su Lu first took out a bundle of dried wormwood, and there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.

[Thaumaturgy]'s true combat power lies in the 'thaumaturgy card'!

As for the sealing card, it was his confidence and could not be used in regular battles. What's more, at this time, that image was probably wanted.

"Thaumaturgy playing cards... the main material is wormwood, and the auxiliary materials are marjoram branches, thyme, rose essential oil..."

Recalling the production process, Sulu took out all extraordinary materials and equipment.

These are all his gains in Charles' black market.

To be honest, with such a big superhuman trading market, I really feel a little reluctant to leave it.

If it were here, it would be too late to collect all the materials for making cards.

"Let's get started, the first is... the spirit fire!"

After everything was ready, Sulu took a deep breath, lit a flame full of spirituality, and began to process the materials one by one.

Ten minutes later...

Holding a 'funnel' in his hand, he carefully poured the yellow pulp inside into the mold that had already been made.

Zizi!

The next moment, as the pulp was injected into the mould, a large amount of white smoke rose up.

In the mold, a light yellow card emerged.

It was about the size of a playing card, with a blank front and a swirl on the back.

This was inscribed in advance by Sulu, the [Thaumaturgy]'s sealing circle.

"finished!"

He wiped his sweat,

Some happily picked up the cards, injecting a little inspiration.

Click! ...Crack!

The next moment, the lines on the cards lit up and then interrupted one after another, like a broken electrical appliance, flashing a string of sparks.

raging!

Then, it burned automatically and turned into ashes.

"Failed……"

Sulu sighed: "Although the process is generally correct, there is still a mistake in the subtle operation!"

Next, he experimented several times, but the results he got were not very satisfactory.

The difficulty of making thaumaturgy cards was somewhat beyond his imagination.

"The same is true for paper cards, and the difficulty of silver metal cards can be imagined..."

Sulu smiled wryly, and suddenly understood that any extraordinary profession is not easy.

If you want to gain powerful combat power and win glory, you must silently pay hardships and hard work, and bear the bitter fruit of failure!

"According to my current production ability, the success rate of the cards is only about one-fifth, which is too low! Since it is a matter of technique, then..."

Sulu took a deep breath: "Improve the production of magical items!"

[Consume 150 points of experience... The magical item production level has been raised to LV2! 】

The moment after the skill was improved, Sulu clutched his forehead, recalling the actions when he was making cards just now, and found a few small mistakes.

If he does it again, he is sure to increase the success rate by 10% to 20%!

"It's just that, it's not enough!"

After thinking about it, he continued to upgrade his skill level:

[Consume 300 points of experience... The magical item production level has been raised to LV3! 】

After merging the strange knowledge, Sulu felt that his hands became extremely flexible, and his movements when making magical props actually had a familiar and artistic sense.

"The current success rate should be 50%! Sure enough, the further you go, the harder it is to improve!"

"However, you can bet on the qualitative change of the skill at LV4!"

Sulu gritted his teeth: "Continue to improve!"

[Consume 600 points of experience... The magical item production level has been raised to LV4! 】

[The production level of magical items has been increased to LV4, and exclusive bonuses have been obtained-skillful and ingenious! 】

[Ingenuity - you are already an excellent craftsman of magical items, when making low-level extraordinary items, the success rate will increase by an additional 10%! 】

"Hmm... This bonus seems to be good, but it's a pity that it consumes too much experience..."

Sulu took a deep breath and calmed down all the discomforts in his body.

This is a normal phenomenon brought about by skill improvement.

The next moment, he picked up the magic material again.

At this moment, he seemed to be the master of this area, handling all kinds of materials exactly, even speeding up a lot.

When he woke up from this wonderful state, he was surprised to find that all the wormwood had been dealt with, and in his hand, there was an extra stack of pale yellow thaumaturgy cards.

"The success rate... is it around 80%?"

Sulu thought for a while, and felt that this was already the limit for a while.

After all, the production of thaumaturgy cards is different from his previous few times. In the previous few times, most of the refiners used the peculiarities of the materials themselves, and the actual operation requirements were not high.

The making of cards involves the precipitation and transformation of various mysterious forces, and the difficulty suddenly increases.
