“Brian, if the carriage ride hurts you, please tell me immediately.” Lua said after we got on the move.
“Don’t worry. It’s not that bad.” I responded.
“You shouldn’t argue against her. Ladies always win.” Timothy said.
“Is that based on experience?” I asked. I don’t doubt him, I just want to know if he actually is married or has a signifit other.
“Yes. Both my mother and wife are like that.” Timothy said.
“Well, at least your wife lets you do your job.” I ented.
“Well, she still needs materials for her cookies, so she has to accept my job.” Timothy said.
Cookies? Could that mean?
“Does your wife run the cookie store in town? It was called… (Rudevik’s cookies.) Rudevik’s cookies, I think?” I asked, with a bit of assistance from Laura.
“Yes she does. In fact, didn’t you visit the store?” Timothy asked.
“Yeah, I did. With Alice.” I said.
“She told me how the town’s savior came to enjoy cookies with the Lord’s daughter.” Timothy said.
“Were you two on a date?” Lua asked.
“I guess so.” I admitted.
“ you take me ?” She asked.
“Sure. If you wao.” I said.
“Thank you! And it’s not like I want to go on a date with you. It’s just that … I’ve just never been on a date before.” Lua admitted. “So I want my first date to be with someorust.”
“The’s do it.” I said.
“You must be a natural.” Timothy ented.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“They way you flirt.” He said.
“... yeah. Sure. I’m a natural. Thanks.” I said before thinking of something I could use to ge the subject. “By the way, why is the cookie store called Rudevik’s cookies? Who is this Rudevik?” I asked.
“You don’t know of him?” Lua asked.
“Well, that’s something.” Timothy added.
“Should I? Well, then again, I know basically no one.” I admitted. “So, who is he?”
“Rudevik is an S-rank adventurer, based in the Royal Capital. He is said to be the best adventurer in the try.” Lua said.
“Some would argue the sed best.” Timothy added.
“Well, yes in terms of strength, but no one likes Mr. James.” Lua said.
“And this Mr. James is?” I asked.
“Another S-rank adventurer. He is strong, but tends to destroy things, so most people don’t like him.” Lua said.
“Well, he does tend to pay for things he breaks when he sobers up.” Timothy said.
“Is he ever sober?” Lua asked.
“As far as I know, sometimes.” Timothy said.
So, I’ve just learned about two S-rank adventurers. But if this James is someohat tends to break things, I probably want to stay away from him. Mixih a destructive drunk would lead to mass destru. Or just death. Well, I guess resurre is always an option if one of us dies.
… or, let’s just not fight in the first pce. I don’t have time reversal abilities, so the repair bill is going to be huge.
“One more question. Why would an S-rank adventurer make a cookie store? Which is so popur that it has a franchise store ich?” I asked.
“Well, the reason I know is because he just likes cookies. Some even say that he is called a ‘cookie monster’.” Timothy said. “But my wife says that he has a different reason, which is a secret.”
“Or he just ate all the cookies in the capital and the King banned him from buying more cookies.” Lua said. “So he had no choice but to make his own store.”
“Well, that rumor is false, acc to my wife.” Timothy said.
… Are all S-rank adventurers weirdos? One is a cookie monster and the other is a drunk. Well, there probably are more than two S-rank adventurers in the world.
“Goblins!” I heard a yell from the first carriage. Laura had also just warned both Lua and I, so we knew about 5 seds before they yelled out.
Tye and the shielder of his team were the ones on the lead carriage and they stepped up to receive the goblins.
(You will not take part in this fight.) I heard the voice of Lua’s System Support in my head. Lua probably wao tell it to me herself, but we haven’t trained with the system link thi.
(Well, they are just goblins, so this isn’t much of a fight.) I said back. I don’t know if my message was heard by Lua, but I’ll assume Laura or her System Support transmitted it to her.
I was holy expeg Tye to summon something, I mean he is a summoner, but instead he just pulled out his whip and began attag with it. I guess goblins aren’t worth summoning something.
He used his whip skillfully to attack the goblins heads, and with just two or three hits per goblin, the gobli down. His shield friend also took one down and seeing its friends die, the st goblin attempted to run, but was shot by the archer girl who had run up from the st carriage.
I got some looks from them when I absorbed the goblins with my terminal, but none of them actually asked about it at that point.
“So… how do you absoblins like that?” The archer girl asked during our first break.
“Secret.” I answered.
“What? Really? Don’t you think something like that would be useful to share?” She asked.
“Yes. I absolutely think that I should share, but it won’t ge anything. Even if I tell you, you won’t be able to do it.” I told her.
“Why? Don’t tell me you have a unique skill?” She asked.
Well, I do, but that’s not what this is about.
“No. It’s just ahat you ot acquire easily.” I said, revealing the terminal on my left forearm.
“That? I thought it was some sort of summoning device. Does it use monster corpses as a power source or something?” She asked.
“Yeah. Pretty much.” I answered. A bit of a lie, but better than having them realize that I’m a dungeon founder. I don’t know how they will react if they hear about that. And it does use monsters as fuel. Just not for the summoning part.
“Is that why you are able to summon a heavenly dragon?” Tye, who had overheard us, asked.
“No. It just helps me summon multiple monsters at once.” I answered. Without it, I only summon two. Well, with Infinite Cards I could probably summon as many monsters as I want to. It does remove the hand size limit.
“Oh, I see. How many monsters you summon at the same time, if you don’t mind me asking?” Tye asked.
“Seven, I think. But the most I’ve ever summo once is three.” I answered.
“Then why do you say seven?” He asked.
“Well, I know I summon at least 5, but I think I manage seven.” I said. I mean, I do have five slots on my duel disk.
“Could you show me?” Tye asked.
“I could, but not now. I am kind of on the job.” I said.
“Does that mean ter is good?” He asked.
“Sure. Why not.” I said.
“Then, would you also show your heavenly dragon to me?” He asked.
“Why? You have already seen it.” Lua ented.
“No, I haven’t.” Tye said. “When would I have seen it?”
“Yesterday. That small dragon was a form of Brian’s heavenly dragon. Isn’t that right Brian?” Lua said.
How did she realize? I should just ask. “Well, yeah. But how did you figure that out?”
“It looks simir, just smaller, and the attack order you gave was the same as with the big dragon.” Lua reasoned.
“So… let me get this straight. You summoned a small heavenly dragon for a duel?” The archer girl asked.
“Pretty much.” I said.
“I see… and what about those dogs?” She asked.
“Nah. Don’t worry about that part.” I said.
“Didn’t you say they are tributes or something?” Tye asked.
“Well, kind of.”
“Are you just using some of your summons as tributes for your other summons? Is that how you summon heavenly dragons?” Tye asked.
“Well, yes, but also no. I had to do it with that dragon, because it is special. My other dragons I summon without any tributes.” I answered.
“Ah. I got it. So by tributing the small dogs you were able to shrink down your heavenly dragon. I see.” Try came to his own clusion.
“Yeah. Something like that.” That sounds correct, so I just go with that. And as I didn’t say it, I didn’t have to lie about it. Not that I mind lying, but better avoid it in case I run into a skill that lets people see through lies.
Ba the carriage. Again.
But this time, I’m going to open my daily packs. I did ask Lua if that is fine (with Laura and her System Support transfering the messages), just in case. I don’t want to make her angry.
For the set of the day, I actually have no idea. I wao go with a set that has great cards for installs, but most of the cards I really want are super or ultra rares.
For instance, Labyrinth of Nightmare has United We Stand and Mage Power, as well as Magic der. But the two spells are ultra rares, and der is secret rare.
But the set I’m going to open up with, heh open, is Legacy of Darkness. It has some good rares, like Magic Reflector (yes, I have one already, but more is he A. Forces and Fusion Sword Murasame Bde.
There is also the on Nutrient Z. That would be great as a set card, as that should save me from situations like what I faced yesterday. Having enough copies of it, so that I could set it on myself, Lua, Alid Alex wouldn’t be too bad. Even if I won’t use a toploader on any of them, but mine, as others ’t reset them. I think. Maybe if they level up Card Summohey’ll be able to set and install cards as well. Installs are less useful, but being able to re set a card would be great. Actually, does a card o be re set? Threatening Roar hasn't been activated, so I’m not sure. Perhaps they just go on cooldown a themselves. All Scrap-Iron Scarecrow style.
Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Legacy of Darkness’[Yes] [No]
Yes. Let’s get these packs opened.
SpoilerLOD 1
Winged Minion, Dragon Maniputor, Mysterious Guard, Bubble Crash, Ominous Fortuelling, Stampiru, Robody, vulsion of Nature, After the Struggle
[colpse]
Well, it could be better. At least Robody looks good. And Stampiru isn’t bad. vulsion of Nature is … not something I want to use. After the Struggle is just meh. At least Dragon Maniputor is good in some situations. If I ever have to fight a dragon.
pack.
SpoilerLOD 2
Fushi No Tori, Spiritual Energy Settle Mae, Mysterious Guard, Ominous Fortuelling, Ready for Intercepting, Life Abs Mae, Burst Breath, Yata-Garasu, The Warrior Returning Alive
[colpse]
Well, hello there sed Yata. I know you aren’t that amazing, but I still like you. Sadly, The Warrior Returning Alive isn’t an alternative to Monster Reborn. No resurreg the dead with that. But I cheat on cooldowns ah timers of my cards, so it might see use. Maybe.
Spiritual Energy Settle Mae is … well, if I ever really use spirit monsters it will help.
Anyway, pack.
SpoilerLOD 3
Super Roboyarou, Super Rejuvenation, The Dragon Dwelling in the Cave, Fushi No Tori, Dragon's Rage, Dragon Maniputor, Spiritual Energy Settle Mae, Mysterious Guard, After the Struggle
[colpse]
Super Roboyarou is a fusion, I guess. It’s still weak, but at least it does t for my challenge. I o get back to it at some point. Sure the reward is just ok, not great, but still.
I think I could use Super Rejuvenation for some pack tokens, but at the same time I’d have to e up with some degee bo to really max it out.
And Drage is o use with Blue-Eyes or any of my other dragons.
pack.
SpoilerLOD 4
Dragon's Gunfire, Cave Dragon, Frontier Wiseman, Patri of Darkness, Disappear, Throwstone Unit, Roboyarou, Wolf Axwielder, Fatal Abacus
[colpse]
Roboyarou. Good. Now I have both Lady and Yarou. Dragon’s Gunfire is not bad either. Sadly Disappear is. It sounds good, but does basically nothing.
(It might be useful as an install. If it make dead things disappear, it might grant a skill that mimics your terminal, but without any point geion. Isn’t that what the adventurers wanted?) Laura pointed out.
(Oh. That’s true. I love you!) I said back.
(Oh, thank you Master. I do like receiving your love.) Laura said.
… let’s just open the pack.
SpoilerLOD 5
Wolf Axwielder, Heart of Clear Water, Mysterious Guard, Skull Knight #2, Super Roboyarou, Throwstone Unit, Spiritual Energy Settle Mae, Possessed Dark Soul, Thunder Nyan Nyan
[colpse]
Thunder Nyan Nyan is super cute. If Laura could fully possess my monsters, I’d summoo be a body for Laura. Definitely just because I want a good body for Laura, and not because I want to cuddle up with a cute demon girl in a skimpy outfit.
(I’d do it.) Laura said. (I want to cuddle with Master as well.)
Thanks. But pack.
SpoilerLOD 6
Spring of Rebirth, The Secret of the Bandit, Winged Minion, Lizard Soldier, Gray Wing, Super Robody, Disappear, Burst Breath, Thunder Nyan Nyan
[colpse]
Sed Nyan Nyan and Disappear. And also Super Robody. Spring of Rebirth is fine, but as it activates when I unsummon a monster, it might not be the best choice for healing.
pack.
Spoilerspan>
LOD 7
Burst Breath, Warrior Dai Grepher, Stampiru, Spirit Ryu, Super Robody, Throwstone Unit, vulsion of Nature, Fushi No Tori, Magic Reflector
[colpse]
And there is the Magic Reflector. Now I have two. If it works I hope it does, installing one on both me and Alex will be good. And perhaps even Lua and Alice. But the frontline needs it more.
pack.
SpoilerLOD 8
Gradius' Option, Throwstone Unit, Life Abs Mae, Bark of Dark Ruler, Double Sroon, Inaba White Rabbit, Spirit's Invitation, Array of Revealing Light
[colpse]
Troon is … ok, I guess. Gradius' Option is something I use with Gradius, but it just doesn't seem that useful. And Array of Revealing Light is just useless.
pack.
SpoilerLOD 9
Super Rejuvenation, Gradius' Option, Spirit's Invitation, Great Long win-Headed Wolf, Super Roboyarou, Burst Breath, Spiritual Energy Settle Mae, Susa Soldier
[colpse]
Well, at least Susa Soldier is not a repeat. That’s all I say about it. It’s just not great.
pack.
SpoilerLOD 10
Winged Minion, Stampiru, A Wi of Giant Dragon, Cave Dragon, Soul Demolition, The Dragon Dwelling in the Cave, Bark of Dark Ruler, Roboyarou, The Warrior Returning Alive
[colpse]
I think that is all repeats, so pack.
SpoilerLOD 11
Mysterious Guard, Twin-Headed Wolf, Possessed Dark Soul, Life Abs Mae, Frontier Wiseman, The Secret of the Bandit, Serpentine Princess, Fushi No Tori, Fusion Sword Murasame Bde
[colpse]
I got the Fusion Swood. I don’t really know if I should install it into my own sword or into myself though. Hopefully I get a sed copy so I do both.
pack.
SpoilerLOD 12
Fushi No Tori, Life Abs Mae, Skull Knight #2, Fengsheng Mirror, Spirit Ryu, Wolf Axwielder, Heart of Clear Water, Emergency Provisions, Fusion Sword Murasame Bde
[colpse]
Ask and you shall receive, apparently. Emergency Provisions could also be good. If it makes us some food that will also heal, just fiving up some spell and trap cards, that’s not bad. Turning cards into food is not the worst trade deal I’ve heard of.
pack.
SpoilerLOD 13
Fengsheng Mirror, The Puppet Magic of Dark Ruler, Fushi No Tori, Spirit Ryu, Super Roboyarou, Dragon's Guampiruysterious Guard, The A. Forces
[colpse]
And there is the A. Forces. I think that is all I really wanted. Perhaps I should switch sets and try for the Labyrinth of Nightmare ultra rares. Yata is the only secret rare I’ve gotten today, so I feel like there is a ce for an UR.
Of course I didn’t actually get Nutrient Z, but then again, when do I ever get the ons that I actually want? I just have to e back to Legacy of Darkness at a ter date to get that.
Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Labyrinth of Nightmare’[Yes] [No]
Yes. Please give me an UR.
SpoilerLON 1
Cy Laser, Aqua Spirit, Fairy Box, Bait Doll, Empress Mantis, Fme Dancer, Fusion Gate, Worm Drake, Amphibia
[colpse]
Fusion Gate is nice. I use it to mass summon fusion monsters if I don’t care about the materials. You know, for the challenge. I also like how cute Empress Mantis looks on the card, even though I’m detly sure it’s actual nightmare fuel if I summon it.
pack.
SpoilerLON 2
Earthbound Spirit, Tornado Wall, Headless Knight, Skull Lair, Maryokutai, Fme Dancer, Empress Mantis, Fire Sorcerer, Spirit Message "A"
[I know, the letter in the picture and on the Spirit Message "A" don’t match. It’s because these cards use the OCG artwork. In the OCG, Destiny Board spells out DEATH and iCG its FINAL.]
[colpse]
I mean, … okay, it’s not good. Let’s just go onto the one and hope for somethier.
SpoilerLON 3
Bliru, Aqua Spirit, Scroll of Bewitt, Summoner of Illusions, The Rock Spirit, Mask of Weakness, Spherous Lady, The Earl of Demise, Spirit of the Breeze
[colpse]
Well, Spirit of the Breeze is not bad as it heal, but I already had 5 copies of it from DB1.
pack. Give me the UR please.
SpoilerLON 4
Amazoness Archer, Tornado Wall, The Rock Spirit, Mask of Weakness, Chosehe Emperor's Holiday, Lightning Bde, Darklord Marie, Gemini Elf
[colpse]
I have to say, I was not expeg that. Gemini Elf is niot amazing, but still nice. Lightning Bde is also good. I hope Alex will accept it. Even Darklord Marie isn’t bad. I know I have one already, but it’s tied up in my St. Joan so I ’t use it.
Well, one more ce. Give me an UR. Well, I did get the secret rare, so you don’t have to. But it would be nice.
SpoilerLON 5
Humanoid Worm Drake, Lady Assaint of Fmes, Dragonic Attack, Chosen One, Mask of Weakness, Flying Fish, Swordsman of Landstar, Mage Power, Return of the Doomed
[colpse]
Well, hello there. Did not expect that at all. I was holy thinking I was going to get something like another Spirit Message. Mage Power is super nice. I think that will go on Alice. I think she needs it the most. I really wish I could somehow make more copies of it, as having it for Lua and even myself would be nice. But I guess I always try to pull another one. And holy, United We Stand fits me better.
Now, on to the reprints.
(Master, are you sure you want to use your reprint tokens? As long as we don’t fay more difficulties, we will reach the city today and you will plete the mission. That will open the repri Dark Beginning 2.) Laura said.
(I think I will. Because I want that X-Head on from DR1.) I said. (And DB1 also has a ton of great spells. And I just open DB2 tomorrow.)
(As you wish.) Laura said.
Well then, DR1 let’s get that X-Head on.
Use a ‘Reprint token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Dark Revetion Volume 1’[Yes] [No]
SpoilerDR1 1
Skill Drain, Trap of Board Eraser, Non Aggression Area, Final tdown, Senri Eye, Falling Down, Fear from the Dark, Cat's Ear Tribe, Maju Garzett, People Running About, Royal Magical Library, Darkbishop Archfiend
[colpse]
Skill Drain is not bad, even if it is ara copy. And Cat's Ear Tribe is still cute.
Yeah. Holy not that great.
pack.
SpoilerDR1 2
Rope of Life, Rite of Spirit, Final Attack Orders, Banner of Ce, Senri Eye, Mass Driver, Gravekeeper's Chief, People Running About, Magical Marioe, Blindly Loyal Goblin, Apprentice Magi, Gravekeeper's Assaint
[colpse]
Banner of Ce is actually not that bad. As an install, it could really help. But the real MVP should go to Rope of Life. While it ot ht resurrect a person, it prevent their death. But they have to be holding on to another card for that to happen.
One more pack, Go!
SpoilerBR1 3
Ray of Hope, Arsenal Robber, Altar for Tribute, Shinato's Ark, Wicked-Breaking Fmberge - Baou, Demotion, Amazoness Swords itch-Dark Dragon, Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow, Guardian Kay'est, Guardian Elma, Sed Goblin
[colpse]
Well, it’s not an X-Head on, but Amazoness Swords Woman is nice. I know it’s a sed copy, but with two of them, I keep one and send oo Christina.
Probably should throloader on the one I’ll send to Christina as well. Most of her cards just have sleeves, so having something like Swords Woman with a toploader would help her.
Well, I’ll do it when I get into the city.
The rest of the day eaceful. No motacks or other major problems.
“There. That’s the outer wall of Sawyer city.” Timothy said when we saw the first peak of the city walls.
Wow. It’s quite rge. At least pared to Alewatch.
“We made it.” Lua said.
“And with no major i.” I added.
“... are you kidding?” She asked.
“Yes. But we made it, so does it matter?” I asked.
“You are extremely casual for someone who almost died.” She said.
“But I didn’t. And I have you to thank for that.” I said.
“How many times are you going to thank me?” She asked.
“As many times as I feel like.” I responded.
“And there you go with your natural flirting again.” Timothy ented.
… e on. I was trying to have a moment.
Well, it doesn't matter. We made it and that is all I really care about.
