I Rely on Drawing Cards to Set Up a Persona

Chapter 28.2: Tacit Cooperation

Ilir has not been in a calm mood since he learned that they seemed to have a storage tool.

Among all the human empires, only their emperor possessed a magical storage tool.

Ilir was not too clear about how many storage tools there are on the foreign side, but after the great war more than ten years ago, the community that made magic storage tools became extinct, so it should also be extremely rare on the foreign side.

Magic storage tools can be said to be worth a lot of value.

Under such circumstances, would there really be foreign races willing to contribute storage tools to the pawns just to deal with Arilance?

Ilir’s eyes darkened, and now he really hoped that these people with unknown backgrounds were really from a mysterious great country.

Otherwise, the situation would be too unfavorable for Arilance.

The Arthur brothers also looked at each other. They were also aware that those who had storage tools were certainly not ordinary people. After pursing their lips, they walked calmly towards the mountain, following the example of their chief.

Qiao Xingnan did not expect that the “storage tool” would have such a big impact on them. After all, he used the magic scrolls as an excuse and did not find them too surprised. He focused on controlling Zero and followed next to Ruiert.

The further they went in the direction of the top of the mountain, the more the white fog around them gradually dissipated, and their vision became clearer and clearer. There were a few sounds in the distance, from the high-level magical beasts on the top of the mountain.

Soon, they can start sharpening their skills.

Ruiert glanced at Zero with some excitement as he opened the jug and took two sips. In the next second, the sound became even louder for some reason.

Ilir next to him paused and was about to tell everyone to take precautions when a thumping sound came from the distance, followed by the sound of trees being knocked askew.

A three-meter-tall beast rushed over.

Its scale armor was thicker and heavier than other magical beasts, and its sharp beast teeth seemed to be able to bite through the hardest steel in one go.

“Polytooth Rhinoceros!” The Arthur brothers’ eyes widened at the sight of this high-level magical beast and they shouted out in surprise.

Polytooth rhinoceros in this mountain are rare because they are not willing to compete with other magical beasts for territory, so they generally do not have a fixed place, where to go and live. However, don’t just look at them being so free on the issue of territory. Polytooth rhinoceros are still very strong, whether it is the sharp teeth or the hard scaly armor on the body, some high-level magical beasts are no match.

Generally speaking, the rhino has to be killed by at least five people working together.

Even Ilir’s elder brother, Howard, had a hard time trying to kill this rhinoceros alone.

“Finally, a big guy came.”

Ruiert took a sip of wine, then handed the jug to Zero.

“You guys watch from the side, this one is for us to practice.” Ruiert smirked and looked at the three of Ilir.

Ilir was silent for a moment, ” Okay.”

In fact, they do not want to fight with this high-level magical beast with only useful scale armor and teeth. After all, if they want to finish it, they must first stab through its scale armor. If it was his brother, Howard, most of them would take a lot of effort to keep the scales intact.

With calm eyes and suppressed tension, Qiao Xingnan made a slight fist, and the fingertips of his right hand tapped on the table, controlling Zero to take over the jug.

The plan officially began.

On the other side, Ilir only saw the white-robed man somehow take the jug. Then, the figure flashed, and Ruiert also followed with his sword and rushed out.

The rate of Zero’s speed became 150 times, which is almost invisible to the human eye. With his feet lightly tapping on the grass, he ran away while opening the wine jug in his hand. Under the wide hood, his dark, heavy eyes looked straight at the huge beast in front of him.

With sharp teeth wide open and an ear-piercing roar, Zero rushed toward it with an expressionless face, before leaping lightly and placing the jug on its back.

The beast was already grumpy, and when he saw such a person approaching him, of course, it had to move. The jug was subsequently tilted, spilling a few wine beads.

[Ding, the card Drunkard Ruiert’s skill [Wine Grabber Must Die] has been activated, berserking…]

Zero smoothly put away the wine jug and side-stepped away from this fierce beast.

Ilir could not see Zero’s figure clearly, but he could only vaguely perceive that Zero seemed to quickly put an object on top of the Polytooth Rhino. Carefully recalling, it seemed to be the wine jug that Ruiert had just handed him.

What’s the point of putting a wine jug on a magical beast?

Ilir did not understand.

""

The two subordinates around him were weaker than Ruiert and could only see the other’s white figure, which landed on the opposite side in the blink of an eye, and they couldn’t see clearly what Zero had done.

Ilir put the speculation he just had aside, and his eyes focused on the battlefield.

In the center of the battlefield, before the furious rhinoceros turned around to chase Zero, a sharp sword came to meet him, slashing directly at the place where Zero had just put the wine jug.

A sword mark was left on the hard scale armor and blood gushed out. The rhinoceros let out a harsh scream, and the purple eyes slowly lost their brightness.

Ruiert’s dark gray eyes looked coldly at the rhinoceros, and said: “Dare to spill my wine? Go to hell.”

Polytooth Rhino: ……

Didn’t you guys put the wine on my back?!

The Polytooth Rhinoceros that was touched by porcelain died.

The fight was shockingly fast.

Ilir was a little dumbfounded, leading the Arthur brothers to walk over. Then, he saw the white-robed man hand the wine jug to Ruiert and let Ruiert drink freely for a few sips, while he slightly raised his hand to put the high-level magical beast into the storage tool and continued to prepare to walk towards the top of the mountain.

The two people moved skilfully and tacitly. Ilir did not interject for a while. He closed his mouth, ready to find the opportunity to ask again about the matter of the wine jug just now.

With the help of Zero’s eyes, Qiao Xingnan noticed Ilir’s expression, and the corners of his mouth rose, it’s okay to find out.

Ruiert does not take a few steps without picking up the wine and taking a sip. Sometimes he would burp, and he was so delighted that he was almost humming a song.

This made the two Arthur brothers who watched the other side fight the beast very easily have mixed feelings.

Why is this person so strong and at the same time like an alcoholic, without the temperament that a knight should have?

The sound of beasts roaring on the top of the mountain is getting closer and closer. Ruiert’s eyes are cold as he wordlessly clutched his jug. Then, he took a cherished sip of wine and painfully handed the jug to Zero.

When Ilir saw this action of his, there was a flash of light in his eyes.

Immediately afterward, the ground seemed to shake.

A tall black magical beast ran out of the woods, its feet were extraordinarily thick, like four short pillars, and its body was huge.

Why does even a magical beast like Black Crowfoot take the initiative to hunt them?!

Such magical beasts generally rarely appear.

Ilir was puzzled. He looked at Zero and Ruiert next to him, who both seemed eager to fight. Ilir thought about it, waved his hand, and took the Arthur brothers back a few steps, leaving the battlefield to them.

Soon, the two ended very quickly as they did in the last battle.

The difference this time was that Ilir noticed that the white-robed man seemed to place the jug at the beast’s feet, followed by Ruiert cutting off its feet.

Ilir’s mind moved, and his mind vaguely knew what they were doing.

The next battle also confirmed his suspicions.

The white-robed man put the jug anywhere on the beast’s body, and Ruiert would follow the spot and kill it with a single blow.

This is a terrifying control.

Ilir broke out a lot of cold sweat on his back for a while.

He looked at the two people in front of him who were about the same age as himself but a hundred times stronger than himself, and a hint of wariness gradually emerged in his eyes.

Noticing Ilir’s eyes, Qiao Xingnan slowly let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

It was much smoother than what was planned yesterday.

After seeing those scenes, Ilir should have taken what just happened as a “special training” with Zero and Ruiert.

Thinking about it, Qiao Xingnan pursed his lips slightly.

Yesterday, after asking about Ruiert’s skills, Qiao Xingnan planned to use Zero’s speedy movement to let the beast spill the wine jug, directly touching the beast and activating Ruiert’s skills, maximizing the use of his skills.

Of course, Ilir will definitely follow Zero and Ruiert. In order to prevent Ilir from becoming suspicious after seeing Zero’s action of putting the wine jug, Qiao Xingnan also took the opportunity to use “special training” as a cover.

There was no way out of this. Zero’s Marionette skill cooldown was too long, and the only thing they could rely on now was Ruiert’s passive berserking skill.

It seems to be very successful now.

The corners of Qiao Xingnan’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up at the thought.

Time passed, Zero and Ruiert killed a number of magical beasts, and Ilir almost lost track of it.

He didn’t even think that the mountain would actually have so many high-level magical beasts. They were charging toward them one by one as if there was something on their side that was attracting them.

Until the few people left, Ilir still had lingering thoughts about the high-level magical beasts on the mountain.

Asking the other teams’ subordinates, Ilir found that the magical beasts on the other side seemed to be less than before.

Ilir frowned slightly and pushed this doubt to the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Ruiert also had this doubt. He always felt that on this mountain, there seemed to be many things coveting his jug, but no matter how he looked for it, he did not find it.

It’s really abominable.

When they got back to the manor, Ruiert and Zero said goodbye to Ilir and prepared to go back to their rooms.

Ilir nodded politely: “In the future, if you two want to hunt magical beasts, you can continue to look for me.”

Ruiert sipped his wine, his arm resting on Zero’s shoulder, and his voice lazy: “Then, I’ll thank Ilir in advance.”

Ilir shook his head politely. He still needed to report something to his elder brother after that, so he did not stay longer.

Seeing that Ilir left, Zero and Ruiert can also return immediately. Qiao Xingnan was able to put his heart down completely and could go see what activities the system had put together for him.

“035？”

Qiao Xingnan called out softly and heard 035’s very excited voice.

[Here here, host! 035 applied for the card drawing SR guaranteed event for you! Just pay one gold coin and you can sign up for the event task ~]

[Complete the activity task, and the next card draw will definitely be SR!]

This is a guaranteed activity that 035 specially applied for his non-competitive host. Each system can apply for the same type of activity once in three months, and as long as the host completes the task, he will definitely become lucky!

035 feels like a really warm-hearted little chubby ball, so quick to learn from the failure of the last backdoor operation and find a new solution.

Although it cannot operate secretly for the time being, it can still make an effort to guarantee the host’s SR card. It can definitely make up for the host’s loss this time!

035 never signed up for this kind of activity before, but listening to the system in charge of other card pools, most hosts have drawn to go to the Star field card pool to clean up or something, which can be completely seen as other-worldly travel. It’s not only easy but also full of fun.

In short, this event is one of the most popular quarterly events in the Star field card pool.

As long as you don’t draw the devilishly difficult [Cards in a Row] and [Cards 108 Questions] everything is fine! The host of it will definitely be able to make a clean sweep!

A gold coin for an SR guarantee? Qiao Xingnan did not believe that pie would fall from the sky.

However, when Qiao Xingnan saw that Ruiert and Zero had earned themselves a total of 10,000 gold coins today, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sign me up!”

Isn’t it just a gold coin? Cheap!

Hearing this, 035 was so excited that its whole fat ball was trembling, great!!!

[Ding, the deduction of gold coins is successful, thank you for your participation]

Immediately after, a large spinning wheel appeared on the system screen, and began to turn as soon as it appeared, Qiao Xingnan’s eyes were fixed on the spinning wheel, and pressed it when he found the right moment.

The red pointer was getting slower and slower.

At this moment, the most nervous is not Qiao Xingnan, but the system.

System: please, please, please, have pity on my host!

Under the system’s eager anticipation, the red pointer slowly landed on a big question mark.

Immediately after, a row of large characters came out: Card 108 Questions, welcome your answers!

035’s eyes went black, feeling hopeless.

Ahhhhhhhhh, it’s over!

A gold coin has gone with no return!

“Oh?” The blond man’s fingers stroking the golden python paused, “A storage tool?”

Ilir lowered his eyes and bowed his head in response. He told the emperor in front of him the exact story of what he had seen earlier.

This matter was very odd.

In this continent of Uyasor, there are only two existing storage tools.

One is in the hands of Asrit while the other is on the side of the foreign Golden Scales King, who will never hand over the storage tool to others unless he is dead.

Asrit’s fingers are cold, unfortunately, the other party’s life was too tough, and still not dead.

So now the question is, who is this Qiao who has the third storage tool?

A light flashed in Asrit’s eyes, could he really be an emperor from another continent?

It’s getting more and more interesting.

Asrit’s eyes moved to the piece of paper he had placed on the table. His eyes darkened as he muttered, “It’s time to go back to the capital.”
