The stack of cards in Woody's hand is naturally not the sub-artifact "The Impermanence Card" that is famous throughout the multiverse in "The Saint", nor is it the boring "Arcane Deck" created by a certain legendary mage.
Rather, it is an illusion card that can be created by using the player template as a level 6 illusionist.
As the name suggests, "Illusion Cards" are cards that can summon illusions when used.
The method of use is also very simple, just throw it on the ground or on a flat surface.
Within ten meters, something or a creature painted on the front of the card will appear. Within the distance, it can move and act like a real creature and obey the command of the card drawer.
From the most ferocious and powerful adult red dragon, to a militiaman who can deal with several kobolds.
From a majestic palace occupying tens of thousands of square meters, to a single bed that can only sleep one person.
Illusions are all-encompassing and all-encompassing.
However, once the illusion is lifted, 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 useless magical item, and it is widely distributed in various planes of "Saint".
.
Many players with a collecting habit will collect this, especially those fantasy cards that love cute females, such as succubus paladins, nymphs, forest elves...
However, the illusion cards are useless, but that does not affect the fact that they can become powerful in the hands of others.
Woody remembered that the School of Illusion was extremely prosperous in a certain plane of "Saint". Coupled with the high magic background, many civilians had access to magic.
Under this background, many magic games were born.
Among them, one of the most popular in each city-state is a game centered on "Illusion Cards".
It's called "Duel Cards."
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 who were promoted to "Duelists" in that world, and what they relied on were "Illusion Cards".
There are many powerful duelists among them. Even after the "duelists" reach the legend, the legendary feat "Phantom Fusion" they obtain can fuse the illusion of the card to form a stronger monster.
If a sufficient price is paid, the duelist can also summon the phantoms of demigods...and evil spirits, or phantoms of ancient evil things.
That is a terrifying existence with a challenge level of over 30+. Even if it is just a shadow, it is much stronger than an ordinary legend.
However, it is also a very expensive profession. The production cost of the most basic legendary-level "Illusion Card" exceeds 30,000 gold coins.
After all, if the illusion is destroyed, the cards will become unusable, which can be said to be a profession that burns money all the time.
The demon hunter's alchemical potions don't even come close to the cost of this class.
After all, you can only drink 2-3 bottles of magic potion at most before your body can't bear it. As for the cards, Woody has seen someone shoot three legendary illusion cards of the Ancient White Dragon at once, as well as four or five magic cards of the same level.
of fantasy cards.
"Well, not bad! There is Zhang Honglong, and this level of completion..."
Woody took this stack of about twenty fantasy cards in his hand and flipped through them skillfully.
When I saw the huge dragon on the third card picture, the red dragon faced the adventurer, and the brutal and angry look on its expression was vividly depicted, as if the artist was painting an angry red dragon with his own eyes.
, I couldn’t help but sigh.
At the same time, it reminded Woody of why the top of the circus was so much higher than other circuses. It turned out to be because of this...
The illusion of this card is very complete, and its market value is estimated to be no less 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 career level of 15+ or above.
It seems that this Brendan Fraser is not the real owner of this card, plus the treasure described in the diary.
Woody judged in his mind and suspected that there should be some connection between this illusion card and this treasure.
However, there was too little information and he could not be 100% sure.
Except for the red dragon, there is nothing surprising about the remaining cards. Mercenaries, beasts, monsters, most of them are biological cards - this is the favorite type of card made by illusionists.
After all, these illusions can help them to a certain extent - when the production costs are equivalent, biological cards are naturally more cost-effective than dead objects.
The others are mainly buildings, with a white wall, a huge iron door, and a flat piece of land... In short, 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 card on the top of the wooden box, Woody was stunned by the pattern on it.
Because the pattern is an illusory map, and he is very 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 of the slum area.
No wonder...
After seeing this map, Woody completely understood why Brendan Fraser chose to dig in Old Street and this place. It turned out to be the guidance given to him by this card.
But what the diary said at the end was what would happen if there was no treasure...
Woody was a little confused, but when he scanned this card and moved it to a specific angle, there would be one more mark of the Arcane Mask on the card than other cards, and he immediately became excited.
He remembered, this is...
——"The Changing Mask"
Reeves Qianhuan.
He had heard of a famous illusionist in player forums and from the natives in the latter part of the Dark Years, and he was also a top spy master.
Just one high-level professional turned the entire Asenland into a mess.
Every country has left its mark.
It is said that the biggest incident was when the king and queen of a kingdom were cheated to obtain the key to the treasure house...
Moreover, starting ten years before the Golden Year, news of his death spread from time to time, and professionals who were said to have inherited his legacy appeared from time to time.
However, Woody knew that even in the later years of the Dark Years, he was still active in Asenland. It was not until he left Asenland that the name became farther and farther away from the players.
Only today, when he saw this secret mask, Woody suddenly recalled this guy he had long forgotten.
In other words, this card is the activation key for the famous serial mission "Reeves' One Hundred Masks"?
In the game, anyone who obtains Reeves' relics will get a riddle card with the location of Reeves' treasures buried in it. The person who solves the secret of the card can get Reeves' gift, which was also quite famous in his previous life.
Because this mission is one of the few channels where players can get low-level access to high-level magic items, or even semi-legendary items.
At that time, many local tycoons purchased such treasure cards at high prices. I heard that if you have too many cards, you can even assemble a set of high-end magic items.
"The Shapeshifter's Elegy."
It not only maintains a high-level transformation spell, but also allows the wearer's magic resistance and physical resistance to reach the highest value of a transformed creature, plus a series of spell-like abilities.
At that time, Arsenant was considered to be the second-highest set that players could obtain.
Does that mean that Reeves’ treasure is hidden under the circus? And it has not been discovered yet?
Woody became a little excited. Others didn't know Reeves' treasure map, but as a cloud player who had watched the decryption mission in his previous life, even though he skipped directly to the end, he still had some idea of where Reeves' treasure was.
clue.
But where it is hidden still requires on-the-spot investigation.
But before that, you have to get rid of all those things that hinder you.
Thinking about it, Woody put the card back in the ring, pulled out his long sword, and walked towards the ruins of the circus not far away, where only the last bully monster was left.
