The Amber Sword

Chapter 289: The King of the Underground (eighteen)

The faint green text projected on the retina was collected.

Brando immediately saw a floating light screen appeared in front of his eyes. To be precise, it should be a roulette wheel. Each engraving on the roulette wheel corresponds to the color drawing of a card. He understood this thing with a slight start. mean.

The outer circle of the roulette wheel has one hundred and seventy grids, and the cards are all ordinary cards with the rare grade of bronze corresponding to the element colors. The inner layer of forty squares, with a layer of silver glow on the surface of the card, is a rare silver card. However, the inner layer is now gray, and it is obviously not up to the unlocking conditions for some reason.

Brando's gaze returned to the outer layer, and he looked at the past one by one to find the one he thought was the best, the earth element card "Bleeding Altar" facing up in the north.

Bleeding altar

(Wolf Den III)

25 lands, 200 mana

[Enchantment-Lair]

You can sacrifice five gray creatures and summon the earth dragon Voltais into the battlefield (creature-dragon/subdragon species, level 50 boss).

This card will enter the cemetery regardless of the death of Votes or the destruction of the enchantment.

When Votes is on the field, he must sacrifice a gray creature every day to maintain it.

'Not far away, a deep roar came from the cave—'

Another card also caught his attention:

Gem plain

(Wanjing Wonders VI)

【Special Land—Plain】

Tap it to produce 2 lights into your elemental pool.

Tap, pay 2 lights, and gain 20 wealth.

'No one knows what kind of natural gifts are left under the grass'

This card is even more attractive to Brando than the first one, because both the light element and wealth are the resources he urgently needs. Especially the former, he has no way to supplement, on the contrary, he has a large number of cards that need to be invested in the light element.

For example, Jinhui Battle Banner (5 lights), White Sun Blade (5 lights), Holy Archangel (5 lights), and even the Archangel will have to pay an additional maintenance cost for each day on the field.

Brando has been working as a part-time elemental envoy and acquiring the light elemental pool from the night of the Battle of Fir City. Although he has been using his few resources sparingly and sparingly, now only six or seven are left. .

If he gets this card, then the current situation of embarrassment will be completely changed. I believe anyone can understand the gap between one-time consumption and sustainable use.

Needless to say, the role of wealth is so important that it does not need to be repeated again.

But in fact, Brando will find that he is more than just a lack of wealth and light. If he carefully examines all the resources he possesses as a traveling mage, he will realize that he is actually a misnomer.

A total of 19 cards in his own or owned hand, which also includes the used event card-Wolf Den.

Among them are 4 treasure cards, holy sword, golden battle flag, silver pony, and eternal set ball.

5 creature cards, Highland Retinue, Wind Spirit Spider, Mercenary of Rubis, Unicorn Knight, Holy Archangel.

1 resource card, a rich gold mine.

3 spell cards, energy drain, blade of white sun, sprint side by side.

5 land cards, Holy Tree Secret Land, Rogan Marsh, Rochelle’s Bazaar, Storm’s Nest, Ember Volcano.

1 event card, Wolf Den.

19 cards, not even one-half of the deck. According to Tumen, a set of cards must have at least more than forty cards to be called a deck, and only in this way can the set be freely switched in actual combat.

In other words, if this is not Brando's first set of cards, he has not even reached the basic qualifications of forty cards. In other words, it's like an apprentice to a wizard—something like him is at best an informal apprentice to a wizard.

In theory, his 5 land cards can provide him with 2 nature, 1 water, 1 darkness, 1 land, 2 wind and 1 fire every day, and there are additional 1 water, 1 darkness, and 1 wind every week. Pay with 1 fire.

But in fact, because the rich gold mine is attached to the sacred tree secret land, in order to ensure the normal operation of the gold mine and maintain the acquisition of more important "wealth" resources-so in fact, the sacred tree secret land is a card It doesn't work most of the time, only 1 point of water a week is better than nothing.

Fortunately, the water element card in his hand is only Shire, and there is no green card, so at least he will not feel very embarrassed for a while. But according to Tumen, natural cards have the highest quality summoning creatures among all cards, and Brando understands that he will face this problem sooner or later.

From the perspective of financial income, the Rochelle’s bazaar and wealthy gold mine he owns have 8 fortunes and 4 fortunes, a total of 12 fortunes/day.

But what he has to pay is:

Unicorn Knight card maintenance cost, 6 wealth, dark 1/day.

Lucas' mercenary, 2 wealth/day.

High ground obedience, ground 1/day.

Holy archangel, light 1/day.

This shows that under normal circumstances, Brando’s dark elements and earth elements are actually equivalent to having no income every day. The dark element is okay, because it is generally difficult for Metis to enter the cemetery. But the earth element is the necessary cost of Brando's other powerful card combination "Wind Spirit Spider-Holy Sword Art", and this cost is not a bit of a bit, and it is often enough for one battle if it is stored for half a month.

In order to save the earth element, Brando prefers to shuffle the Shire back into his library and re-summon it every day, because it takes only 1 water to summon the Highland Retainer, and 1 land to maintain the Highland Retainer presence.

But this is not without drawbacks. First of all, Highland Guard can't get 1 reputation from the daily. Secondly, Brando's stock of water elements is also declining, and his original behavior of eating his own money will soon face the crisis of elemental pools.

In Brando's view, the current situation of demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall is not a qualified traveling mage in any way. Before that, he had never regarded this profession as his biggest support, of course, it was more than enough as an extra boost.

However, Brando could faintly feel the potential power of the profession of Travelling Mage. He thought that perhaps this profession might bring him a huge surprise in the future, and even become a life-saving capital. But he also understands that it needs a larger deck to support it.

This process is very long, but the prospects revealed are exciting. So when Brando saw the roulette, he couldn't help saying: "It's interesting—"

He immediately put his finger on the light screen with some expectation, hoping to get the card he wanted, the roulette immediately turned, Brando's eyes were nervous and motionless. But after about a few seconds, the pointer slowed down. It first swiped across the gem plain. This made Brando's heart tighten and a little lost, but he immediately saw that the pointer was approaching from the other side. True north.

At this moment, there was no sound in the arena, and everyone saw Brando standing there motionless, frowning and focusing his eyes on the infinite distance ahead.

"Lord Lord?" Medissa turned her head and asked in a low voice.

But Brando turned a deaf ear. Seeing the pointer a little bit past the'bleeding altar', he couldn't help shouting in his heart: "Stop! Stop!"

But the disobedient pointer slid out a little at the end, only a little, but the face of the card changed:

Fireclaw Spearman

(The Tribe of Flame II)

15 fire

[Creature—Fireclaw Lizard/Warrior, Level 27 Creature]

warlike.

Place a squadron's Fireclaw Spearman into the arena.

When Fireclaw Spearman is on the field, pay 5 fortunes per day.

'The smell of enemies in the flames—'

"Master Martha, don't do this!" Brando yelled in frustration, but he didn't express this frustration. Instead, he watched the roulette disappear in an instant, and then a fiery red card fell from the air to his hand.

Brando looked at the card. The painting on the card was a portrait of a lizardman warrior—but unlike Voend’s lizardmen, these crimson-scaled lizardmen were significantly stronger, and they wore simple metal armor. , With two-armed war spears hanging from his back and waist.

But what caught Brando's attention was the golden prismatic pupils of these lizardmen. Among Vaughan's crawling creatures, those with golden pupils inevitably symbolized the blood of dragons, and they were also closely related subdragon species.

It seems that these so-called fireclaw lizardmen are only at the peak of Black Iron, but their origins are not simple. In other words, their ancestors used to be wide.

In this way, the “belligerent” characteristic on the card is easy to understand. The dragons are famous for being belligerent—but Brando doesn’t know the others, only has some understanding of this characteristic; he knows that there are some in the Amber Sword. Monsters have a'belligerent' attribute, which means that once such creatures take the initiative to attack, or get injured, they will get a morale bonus.

The conversion of this kind of bonus into data is not easy to understand, but every 1 point of morale increase is roughly equivalent to a 10% increase in overall combat effectiveness according to Brando's rough estimate.

Overall, this BUFF is quite unattainable.

But this card made Brando a little uncomfortable. He felt that what he needed was a resource card, not a creature card. Not to mention that the summon cost of Fireclaw Spearman is as high as 15 fire, and the maintenance cost is close to that of Unicorn Knight, but this card is not as good as the latter in terms of aspects.

He held the card over and over and looked at it, and finally saw the phrase “put a squadron’s fireclaw spearman into the arena” and only felt a little more at ease; according to Madara’s algorithm, a squadron is thirty people, and Eruin is a hundred people, and I don't know how these salamanders are organized, but Brando always feels that it should not be too cheating.

The card was not unblocked when it arrived in his hand, and the young man made a slight move to make it disappear from his hand and enter his library. This scene naturally fell in the eyes of Medissa and the teenagers on the other side, but Kuran, who was facing his back, did not see this subtle movement.

"Lord Lord?" Medissa herself was a summoning creature, but she didn't understand why Brando would get a card out of thin air.

Brando came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "It's rewarding, let's continue to challenge."

"Continue to challenge?" The silver elf princess was taken aback.

Brando looked at the sword in the middle of the arena and nodded. Since losing the thorn of azure light, he has not wanted to find a good weapon all the time, and he did not want to give up this opportunity anyway.

What's more, the sword of the earth is indeed enough to make people's hearts excited.

Therefore, when the huge voice sounded over the arena for the third time-"Mortal, do you want to continue your challenge?" Brando nodded without hesitation.

"I want to take an advanced challenge." The young man looked at the sword of the earth on the stone tablet and replied.

The arena is quiet.

Then in everyone's surprised eyes, a huge cage slowly rose up on the other side of the sand. A huge monster in the cage made everyone shut their mouths in time—

That is the dragon.
