Shadow Covenant

Chapter 32 "The Ever-changing Mask"

The stack of cards in Woody's hand is naturally not the sub-artifact "Vientiane Impermanence Card" that is famous throughout the multiverse in "Saint", nor is it the boring "Arcane Card Set" of a certain legendary mage.

It is an illusion card that only needs a player template level 6 illusionist to make.

As the name suggests, "phantom card" is a card that can summon phantoms after use.

The method of use is also very simple, just throw it on the ground, or throw it on a certain plane.

Within ten meters, there will be things or creatures painted on the front of the card. Within the distance, they can move and act like real creatures, and obey the command of the card drawer.

From the most ferocious and powerful adult red dragon, to a militia that can deal with several kobolds.

From magnificent palaces occupying tens of thousands of square meters to single beds that can only sleep one person.

The illusion is all-encompassing and all-encompassing.

However, if the illusion is dispelled, the front of the card will become blank and cannot be used, and the illusion cannot cause damage. It can be regarded as a relatively tasteless magical wonder, and it is widely distributed in all planes of "Saint". .

Many collectible players will collect this, and they especially love the phantom cards of cute females, such as succubus paladins, nymphs, elves...

Although phantom cards are a bit weak at first glance, it does not affect that they can become powerful in the hands of others.

Woody remembered that the Illusion School of a certain plane in "Saint" was extremely prosperous, and coupled with the background of high magic, many civilians could come into contact with magic.

Under such a background, many magic games have been born.

Among them, the most popular one in each city-state is the game with "illusion card" as the core.

It's called "Duel Card."

Although a long time has passed, Woody still remembers that it was a rather novel and interesting card rule.

Moreover, Woody still remembers that there were even illusionists advanced to "Duelist" in that world at that time, and what they relied on was "Illusion Cards".

There are many powerful duelists among them, and even after the "duelists" reach the legend, they get the legendary specialty "Phantom Fusion", which can fuse the phantoms of the cards to form stronger monsters.

If the price is paid enough, duelists can also summon phantoms of ancient evils such as demigods and abominations.

That is a terrifying existence with a challenge level of over 30+. Even if it is just a phantom, it is much stronger than ordinary legends.

However, it was also a very expensive profession. The production cost of the most basic legendary level "Phantom Card" exceeded [-] gold coins.

After all, if the illusion is destroyed, the card will be unusable. It can be said that it is also a profession that burns money all the time.

The witcher's alchemical potions can't even match the speed of consumption of this class.

After all, the potion can only drink 2-3 bottles at most, and the body can't bear it. As for the cards, Woody has seen someone take three cards of the legendary illusion of the ancient white dragon at one time, and four or five cards of the same level of magic. Phantom cards.

"Well, not bad! There is Zhang Honglong, and this degree of completion..."

Woody took the stack of about twenty phantom cards in his hand and skillfully flipped through them.

When I saw the huge dragon on the third card, I could see the cruelty and anger of the red dragon facing the adventurer so vividly, as if the artist was painting an angry red dragon with his own eyes. , can't help sighing.

At the same time, it reminded Woody why the top of the circus was so much higher than other circuses. It turned out that it was because of this...

The illusion of this card is very complete, and the market value is estimated to be no lower than the brass ring he just got. It doesn't look like a deck made by a novice illusionist. It should be at least three Level, made by high-level illusionists or even legendary illusionists with a professional level of 15+.

It seems that this Brandon Fraser is not the real owner of this card, plus the treasure described in the diary.

Woody judged in his heart, and at the same time suspected that there should be some connection between this phantom card and this treasure.

However, there is too little information, and he cannot be 100% sure.

Except for the red dragon, the rest of the cards are not surprising. Mercenaries, beasts, monsters, and most of them are biological cards-this is the type of card that illusionists love to make.

After all, to a certain extent, these illusions can help them——when the production cost is the same, biological cards are naturally more cost-effective than dead objects.

The others are mainly buildings, with a white wall, a huge iron gate, and a flat ground... All in all, they are all illusion cards that are quite practical in magic.

Their degree of completion is also very high.

But when he flipped through the last card, which was also the top card in the wooden box, Woody was stunned by the pattern on it.

Because the pattern is a phantom map, and he is familiar with this map.

is a map of Palermo.

In the southwest corner of the map, there is a sign of a huge treasure chest, which happens to be in the old street in the slums.

No wonder...

Seeing this map, Woody completely understood why Brandon Fraser chose to dig in Old Street, and it was this place that chose to dig. It turned out that this card gave him guidance.

But what the diary said in the end is that there is no treasure, so what's going on...

Woody was a little confused, but when he swiped this card and moved to a certain angle, there would be an imprint of a mysterious mask on the card map more than other cards, and he was immediately shocked.

He remembered, this is...

——"The Ever-changing Mask"

Reeves Thousand Fantasy.

He had heard of a famous illusionist and a top spy master in the player forum, as well as from the mouth of the aborigines in the later period of the dark age.

Just a high-level professional has messed up the entire Ashland.

Every country has left his shadow.

It is said that the most troublesome one was to defraud the key to open the treasure house, greening the king and queen of a kingdom together...

Moreover, from ten years before the golden year, news of his death spread from time to time, and professionals who were said to have inherited his relics popped up from time to time.

However, Woody knew that even in the later period of the Dark Years, he was still active in Asenland, and it was not until he left Asenland that the name became farther and farther away from the players.

To this day, seeing this mysterious mask, Woody suddenly recalled this guy who had long been forgotten by him.

In other words, this card is the activation key of the famous serial mission "Revis's One Hundred Masks"?

In the game, anyone who gets the relics of Reeves will get a riddle card map where the treasures accumulated by Reeves are buried. Whoever solves the secret of the card map can get a gift from Reeves, which is quite famous in the previous life.

Because this quest is one of the few channels through which players can get in touch with high-level magical wonders and even semi-legendary items at a low level.

At that time, many players and aborigines bought this kind of treasure card. It is said that if there are too many cards, they can make up a set of high-level magic and strange objects.

"The Dirge of the Shapeshifters."

Not only does it maintain a high-level polymorph, but it also allows the wearer's magic resistance and physical resistance to reach the highest value of a shape-shifting creature, plus a series of spell-like abilities.

At that time, Assenland was regarded as the sub-top suit that players could obtain.

That is to say, under the circus, there is Reeves' treasure hidden?And it hasn't been discovered yet?
Woody got a little excited. Others don't know about Reeves' treasure map, but as a player who watched the deciphering tasks in his last life, even though he jumped directly to the last cloud player, he still has some clues about Reeves' treasure location. Clueless.

But where it is hidden, it has to be investigated on the spot.

But before that, you have to get rid of all those things that hinder you.

Thinking about it, Woody put the card back into the ring, drew out his long sword, and walked towards the ruins of the circus not far away, where only the last bully was left.

　Ask for a monthly pass and a recommendation ticket~ hehe.
