Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 1510: Chapter 462: Are You, a Scholar, So Brave?_3 Chapter 1510: Chapter 462: Are You, a Scholar, So Brave?_3 The others, although intensely curious at heart, felt it would be inappropriate to ask.

Young Master Sack, however, asked directly, “You mean… how to use it?”

Leonard Churchill didn’t beat around the bush and opened the classic book, pointing at the content with patterns on it, “When I was chatting with that NPC, she told me about some contents of the classic books… Like this, this is a magic rune. Similar to a curse, it’s a form of magic that utilizes elements…”

“Although magic and spells differ in their apparent forms, they target the same elements. If I’m not wrong, this magic pattern is targeting the ‘Light Elements.’ From the pattern, it appears to be a kind of auxiliary magic…”

“And this is magic. This is derivative of ancient curses in their origin. Fortunately, I’ve also seen it in some ancient texts. If I’m not mistaken, this is a ‘Dispel Magic.’ The Church of Light once dispatched witch doctors to villages to dispel the dark powers of the Abyssal Rift. So, I guess this is meant to dispel the night mists… We don’t actually have to understand how this magic works; we just need to engrave it onto cards following this pattern… Judging from the magic pattern, this is First-Order Light Magic, and should not be difficult…”

“This is an enchantment formula, and should be directly engraved…”

“Also, this is a potion formula. I can’t read what’s written, but from the pattern, it seems to be a sort of ‘Holy Water,’ an exorcism item similar to…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill pointed at the classic books and spoke eloquently.

He claimed to have received the information from an NPC.

In reality, most of it was his own knowledge.

In the past, in order to obtain these key plot props, he posed as a deacon of the Sect of Light; he couldn’t tell an NPC he couldn’t understand the handbook of a basic priest from the Holy See, could he?

He genuinely didn’t recognize the ancient Altranc script.

But with so much accumulated knowledge, and his currently superb cognitive abilities, he had guessed a great deal by both conjecture and inference.

…

Leonard Churchill tried not to stand out too much.

He explained some of the critical content currently usable from the books in simple language everyone could understand.

However, to the others, even his seemingly straightforward thoughts were met with expressions of “don’t understand, but extremely shocked.”

At that moment, his teammates gained a deeper understanding of the [Scholar].

For the first time, “Allen,” the Scholar, with his knowledge, stunned everyone, including Young Master Sack.

Except for Serli, who was also a scholar and kept nodding along,
the rest were in a state of utter confusion.

In the Academy, they had learned more about practical combat skills.

All the people in the two teams were elites.

They each were experts in many spells of their respective sequences.

But if you asked them what a spell’s magic pattern indicated, few could provide an answer.

The teammates listened to Leonard Churchill’s entire explanation.

They knew their ears had heard a lot of important knowledge.

Yet, their brains had retained nothing.

The others still had expressions as if they were straining to understand what Leonard Churchill was trying to convey.

Whereas Garfield of the Dwarf Race didn’t bother hiding his confusion; his bearded face was plastered with “Who am I,” “Where am I,” and “What did I just hear?”

At that point, Leonard Churchill dropped his final line: “The rest… I haven’t figured out yet. And we won’t in the short term.”

All in the room felt relieved, as if awakening suddenly from sleepwalking.

Unknowingly impressed.

Although they didn’t understand the complexities of where the magic patterns pointed, everyone understood one thing: these artifacts were important!

Young Master Sack, unsure how to express his understanding, glanced at Serli and asked him, “Serli, what do you think?”

After all, Leonard Churchill’s earlier explanation was filled with many uncertain terms like “I guess,” “I speculate,” and “probably.”

Sack also wanted to confirm if this information was as important as he believed.

Serli, full of admiration, didn’t hide his sentiments and said, “Yes, I think Allen’s right! These are very important items!”

Only those who truly understood what Leonard Churchill had just said could appreciate the sheer impressiveness of such reasoning.

Saying this, he also shared his thoughts, “The formulas, enchantments, and dispel magic above are all very useful, especially in this Trial Space. It provides us security to travel through the forest at night and is certainly key to completing subsequent hidden plot lines!”

“Really?”

At this, Sack’s expression brightened.

Both knights in the team who followed the path of wisdom had agreed on the same interpretation, making the hidden mission seem hopeful.

Serli, following Leonard Churchill’s train of thought, added, “Yes! To see if it really works, I think we should try engraving a few Curse Cards…”

Upon hearing this, everyone became eager to try it out.

It was like an exam; understanding the questions didn’t guarantee success, but everyone knew how to copy.

Engraving Curse Cards was a fundamental mandatory course at the Royal Academy!

…

The Spell Card System actually derives much from the ancient magic systems.

Just that in the age of magic, such container-based magic was called “magic scrolls.”

The Card System refined many complex processes, abandoning the magic patterns that required appealing to gods to channel Transcendent Power, and produced an independent and great system of Curse Cards.

Simply copying the engraving exactly as it was wouldn’t work.

This wasn’t an ordinary “Holy Light Dispel,” it should be called “Light Dispel.”

The magic rune contained a pattern pointing to the deity of Light.
