Chapter 330: Death Comes to Those Who Compete
When Karoso and the others arrived, the people there were still using their followers to dig for Seastone.
"I said, young master… huff huff…" Kirmin was a bit out of breath, "Why don’t we go in a straight line or take the official roads?"
"I have a little trouble finding my way." Karoso gave a silly reason.
No matter if others believe it or not, Kirmin did.
She plopped down on the ground, too tired to help Karoso with the machine.
Seeing Kirmin being so helpless, Karoso shook his head in frustration, wishing he had just carried her over.
But if I had carried her over, with her personality, she definitely would have overthought it.
"Karoso, you came back…" Aileen almost let it slip.
Aileen had a chat with Saaya and found that he was actually quite nice, very knowledgeable, not just another useless noble, and he had his own unique insights about fighting.
Saaya saw Karoso return in new clothes, bringing two eighth-tiers with him, and felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
You should know, Saaya had never even had a seventh-tier guard, while Karoso could summon two eighth-tiers in no time.
Speaking of which, before showing its value, Karoso did not have any seventh-tier guards.
"Hmm." Karoso nodded and said, "We caught up."
On the way, Karoso had already told a few people about the situation, and they did not give themselves away.
"Master 『』, Master Alita, what brings you here?" Peter was surprised to see two Eight-tier Card Makers had arrived.
This is something the church needs to investigate; it’s not good to disturb such important figures, is it?
It’s important to know that even though both are eighth-tier, the combat power of Card Makers is the lowest, but their status is the highest.
An Eight-tier Card Maker, while not as high in status as a cardinal, is equivalent to a bishop of a province, which puts them about a rank higher than Peter and Sherry.
Alita glanced at Karoso, as if to say: Look, I am respected wherever I go. Aren’t you ashamed?
"They are here to help," Karoso said. "This thick Seastone cannot be broken by normal means; we need at least eight-star followers to handle it."
"Hmm…" Peter nodded seriously.
Right now, the broken Seastone work is very difficult, and the followers are created using magic; an eight-star follower may not be better than a chainsaw in front of the Seastone.
Unfortunately, this is the Pande Empire; if we could use firearms, the Seastone would be as soft as tofu.
"No time to waste." 『』 said, "Let’s get started right now."
Saying this, 『』 threw out a card.
[Name: Master Blacksmith Bark]
[Type: Follower]
[Race: Dwarf]
[Star Level: 8]
[Rank: Golden Legend]
[Occupational Restriction: None]
[Introduction: This is an amazing blacksmith, one of the best forgers among the dwarves. Unfortunately, the dwarf race has faded from history…]
"Oh!"
A bright voice rang out, and a tall figure of a dwarf appeared behind 『』. He spun a hammer in his hand, with a furnace behind him and a forging tool in front.
"Let’s see what we will forge today!" Blacksmith Master Bark said excitedly.
He swung the hammer, and the mighty trees around were cut by an invisible force, turning into wooden strips that were tossed into the furnace, making the flames grow stronger.
Buzz!
At that moment, the ground began to shake, and particles of iron sand floated up from the ground, flying towards the furnace.
A big fire started in the furnace, and molten iron flowed out, pouring into the molds.
The complicated forging process became very simple in his hands.
Soon, one by one, the hoes took shape.
"Everyone, use this," 『』 pointed to the hoe, "At least it’s iron from the real world, not made from magic. It works wonders for digging this Seastone."
"Thank you!" Peter’s eyes lit up.
What everyone needed now were normal tools; they had become too dependent on cards.
He lifted the hoe and jumped straight into the deep pit.
Standing on the Seastone, he felt his magical power was very sluggish, and it was very hard to use.
Luckily, he was an eighth-tier, so his basic strength was still there.
Tap, tap, tap…
Peter worked hard with some humanoid followers to start mining.
It was clear that those humanoid followers moved very slowly, finding it quite difficult to dig, even not as good as first-tier Professionals, only a bit better than regular people.
They could move on Seastone, so it was clear that these followers were at least seven-star level.
"What a great find!" Kirmin’s eyes lit up. "Can he help me make tools and parts?"
"Yes, an eight-star follower, especially a humanoid one, is made with a high-level soul, and their behavior is very similar to normal people," said 『』. "When I made this card, I added some history, giving it the ability of a legendary master. It can make any parts you want with perfect precision. Originally, this card was going to be sold to the Craftsmen’s Association and has not been shown yet."
Compared to the Professional Association, the Craftsmen’s Association has a much smaller role. They cannot bargain or organize strikes like capitalist guilds; their existence is to provide better services for the nobles.
Karoso looked amazed; it was the first time he heard of someone adding the concept of history into card-making.
If he wanted to create a humanoid Legend Card of this level, he would need special materials or something related to that person.
To put it in words everyone can understand, we need to use relics to make cards.
The world of Card Maker is truly vast and deep.
"I want these," Kirmin showed a few blueprints.
"Oh, lovely little girl, the parts you want require high precision, but this is no problem for the great Bark!" Bark smiled widely and began making parts for Kirmin.
"I mean, with all this excitement above, are you just going to watch?" Alita looked up at the sky.
Her face turned a bit red.
She broke through to the eighth tier not long ago, and she did it while on the road, without going to the Card Maker Association for certification or having school resources.
You could say she only has three eight-star cards, which she made after arriving in Laria, all of them Blue Rare.
Compared to 『』 pulling out a Golden Legend card, it felt a bit daunting, and she didn’t want to embarrass herself.
So, she could only change the subject…
"I can’t join in…" Sherry said with a worried look, "I thought I could help the bishop, but… just watching here, I didn’t even get a chance to catch a glimpse of her or help her."
"I can’t even catch a shadow…" Alita looked at the two people fighting above and felt dizzy.
Eighth-tier, and I didn’t even have a chance to help; it shows how strong those two are.
It didn’t take long before Kirmin shouted, "It’s all set up!"
