Chapter 1: This Is Not Scientific, Nor Magical!

Kingdom of Persia, Canglang Province, Morning Star City, Lord’s Manor.

In the garden, a big person and a small person were admiring the flowers.

"Karoso, our smartest prince died in the dungeon yesterday."

The man on the left was strong-looking, with gray hair, and gave off a commanding presence despite his age.

The only downside was his left arm, which was a shiny black mechanical arm.

This man was called Osiris Colloa, the duke of the kingdom, head of the Colloa family, Karoso’s father, and the father of Canglang Province.

"Got it."

The young boy on the right looked about thirteen or fourteen, with a cold expression as if he were an emotionless machine.

This was Osiris’ youngest and most talented son: Karoso Colloa.

"Do you know why he died?" Osiris’ large hand rested on his son’s head.

"Because he is not strong enough."

"It’s not that simple." Osiris looked at the bright flowers. "If you want to pick a flower, which one would you pick?"

"The ugliest one."

Karoso took a few steps forward and picked a slightly withered small white flower.

"Don’t you want to pick a prettier one? Your brothers would choose beautiful ones and give them to noble ladies they like. Don’t you have someone you want to give flowers to?"

"In my garden, there is no place for waste." Karoso casually threw the flower on the ground. "If there is not even an ugly flower in my garden, those noble ladies would come to my garden by themselves, without me needing to look for them."

Osiris looked at him approvingly. "Who taught you that?"

"My father, you said your team does not keep idle people."

"Yes, that’s correct." Osiris nodded. "Go pack your things, you are going to Marl Magic Academy in the royal capital. Before you leave, remember to make another card. If you do well, your living expenses in the capital will double, if you don’t do well… you know what will happen."

"Yes, Father."

……

After returning to the room, Karoso sat in front of his own work desk.

Before leaving, make another card… This is Father’s test for me.

There are two hours and thirty-two minutes left before catching the airship. During this time, I need to eat and pack my belongings.

No matter how busy, I must eat.

So… let’s begin.

Clang, clang, clang…

"Who?" Karoso asked without turning his head.

"Brother, big brother, it’s me, Neymar…"

A timid girl stood hesitantly at the doorway, holding a plate with cheese, tomatoes, vegetables, ham, and milk, all in two portions.

She had long golden hair, golden eyes, wore a white wool sweater, a black sleeveless jacket, and beige cropped pants.

Neymar looked to be about the same age as Karoso, actually they were only half a year apart.

Judging by her appearance, she seemed very afraid of Karoso.

Although her surname was Augustus, she was actually a foster daughter of the Augustus family and had been with Karoso since she was young.

In this social system, the treatment of foster daughters might not be much better than that of servants, they could be considered as slightly higher-ranking servants.

"Come in, help me pack my luggage." Karoso picked up a paintbrush and gave orders to the girl behind him.

"But, big brother, I need to complete a full meditation before I leave…"

"Your matters are not important," Karoso seemed very cold-hearted.

"My father will punish me if I don’t complete it, my allowance…"

Neymar squeezed the plate with his fingers, his fingers were turning pale.

Her voice was full of pleading, hoping that Karoso would have a change of heart.

"I said, it’s not important, follow my orders."

Karoso thought to himself, his father’s assessment was quite challenging.

He asked both of us to make cards at this time, besides requiring speed from me, he also wanted to test Neymar’s obedience to me.

It’s impossible for both of us to complete making two cards together. Knowing that if he fails, his allowance will be halved, will Neymar obey me, that is a point of this assessment.

My allowance is five hundred Magic Crystal Coins, while Neymar’s allowance is only one hundred Magic Crystal Coins.

If my Magic Crystal Coin could double, I could easily give her two hundred Magic Crystal Coins, making her feel like she got the right reward for completing the task, and I would also gain three hundred extra Magic Crystal Coins, which is a good deal.

"Yes, older brother…" Neymar bit his lip, wanting to argue back but was too scared to do so.

She had no choice but to walk up to Karoso and set down the plate.

"Do you need me to tell you what to do?" Karoso asked Neymar while drawing the card he was planning to make.

"I understand…"

Neymar picked up the knife and fork, carefully cutting the ham into pieces that Karoso liked, even taking a moment to blow on the milk to cool it down a bit so Karoso wouldn’t burn himself while drinking.

[Phew, it’s finally starting.]

[Leave a comment, loyal to the great God of Wisdom!]

[Oh no, this video game is turning into an animated series! Wait, why is Neymar so small?]

[Is a small dot not good?]

[No, this is different from what is public.]

[Wait, this seems a bit different from normal, can others not see the version we see?]

[Wow, is this a noble VIP treatment?]

[I’m not a VIP, I can also watch.]

[Did I say anything as a freeloader?]

[Who’s a freeloader? Everyone is a shareholder, speak more firmly.]

[Who is this handsome guy?]

[I looked it up, isn’t this Karoso?]

[Um… Could it be the Master Karoso I understand?]

[That’s right! It’s him! Just that his hair is different, he doesn’t look as fierce.]

[Wow, the cute Karoso, I like him!]

[Auntie please control yourself.]

[Is this the past storyline? The past of the God of Wisdom has always been a mystery, how did Neymar end up with Karoso?]

[Don’t you guys pay attention to the storyline when playing games? Neymar is actually Karoso’s sister.]

[This must be the storyline of the latest event.]

[You guys have all completed the new event? Am I the only one left behind?]

[I haven’t completed it either, waiting to copy the answers.]

[+1]

[I have released the latest strategy. By using existing materials and special materials from the event, you can create a Legendary level 7 card. You can watch my new video.]

[Bow to the expert!]

[Bow to the expert plus one!]

[Is Karoso making cards? Is he a Card Maker? Based on the CG, he seems to be a warrior.]

[So far, the storyline Master Karoso has only made a move once. It’s unclear what he will do next.]

[What a shame, in the next chapter, Master Karoso is going to die.]

[Oh… when we have to defeat Master Karoso.]

Karoso couldn’t help but stop writing, looking puzzled at the bunch of floating words in front of him.

These colorful words float from right to left, and they will disappear after a while. Some words stay fixed in the center before disappearing later.

"Neymar, go pack your bags first. Do not come back without my command." Karoso instinctively moved his body, watching the bullet comments in front of him vigilantly, and carefully blocked Neymar.

"Yes, elder brother."

Neymar decisively put down what he was holding and left Karoso’s room.

Karoso checked the magic circle in his room. Everything seems fine. This eighth-order magic circle is operating normally, and external magic cannot affect the room.

No matter where he went, these strange words followed him like a shadow.

It does seem like only magic could do this.

"Strange…" Karoso’s hand reached towards the bullet comments.

Who is speaking with words? It seems like the tone is not just one person.

Even if the eighth-ordered magical circle couldn’t block this strange thing into my room, it won’t come in without making any noise, right?

This is not magic at all!
