Katerina stretched out her finger and made a gesture that might offend a Korean man. Who knows whether what she pinched between her fingertips was less than a millimeter of air or the universe?

"So what do you want to buy?" Fang Qingyun took out his deck of cards from the card box in the crowd, and selected them one by one under Katelin's surprised gaze: "Although I personally suggest that you take some blood-recovering effects, since you are a vampire anyway, there should be a lot of effects related to blood-sucking."

"Fuck, this is on the street." Katerin threw away her usual aristocratic style and uttered a very familiar Chinese curse in a very unladylike manner. This made Fang Qingyun miss it for a moment: "Do you know that you held on to the opponent for about three rounds before the professor evacuated the other students? Who wouldn't be jealous of your cards now? You just showed them off like this?"

"It doesn't matter." Although Fang Qingyun knew that he was wrong, he still habitually said stubbornly: "Anyway, even if they want to snatch it, they can't."

After all, they are all gold-plated cards. They do not require any mana when summoned, and there will be no delay. Once someone accelerates towards Fang Qingyun within fifty meters and prepares to do something, the next second the area within a radius of fifty meters within Fang Qingyun will be filled with a large number of zombie soldiers.

As long as that person made a move, he would bump into the bayonet of the zombie soldiers in just two steps, so Fang Qingyun didn't worry about his own safety at all. Unless the enemy was at the professor's level, Fang Qingyun could knock them down by himself, instead of relying on the soldiers' time to jump into the portal and hide in hell.

"I want to buy one of your hero cards." Catherine spread her hands, revealing her little arrow-shaped tail. The tail was like that of a succubus, which stunned Fang Qingyun for a moment.

"What did you say?" Fang Qingyun, whose attention was attracted by the tail, asked, "By the way, your tail has escaped, why don't you put it back?"

Katerin saw her tail as if she had just woken up from a dream. She ignored the struggle of her tail and forcibly stuffed it into her skirt from her waist. Then, to make sure the tail was stuffed in, she jumped a little, then patted her lower back and said, "Okay, I just want to ask, are you selling your hero card?"

"No need to talk to Viola." Fang Qingyun rejected Katelin's request directly: "Some cards are family members. No matter how much money you have, you can't buy a person's family members."

“Really…” Katerin lowered her head. No one could see her expression at the moment, but she quickly adjusted herself. When she raised her head, she no longer had any expression from when she lowered her head. “Forget it, I don’t need a new hero card anyway, and I may not be able to afford a powerful one.”

"...Oh, right." Fang Qingyun remembered something: "Katelin, are you free now?"

"It's convenient, what's the matter?" Catherine seemed suddenly excited. Fang Qingyun didn't care about Catherine's sudden excitement, but asked a direct question.

"I consulted a friend at the beginning." Although Fang Qingyun was not sure whether the person who took him to the classroom during the first class could be considered a friend, it didn't seem right to call him anything else. "Besides, the teacher also said that God has disappeared, right? And those who don't believe in the God of Cards have become pagans, right? Why did Green take out that card? Is he really not afraid of implicating his family members?"

"Actually... the teacher is right, and your friend is also right." Katerin was a little depressed, but quickly adjusted herself. She raised a finger and talked like a little teacher: "The gods have indeed disappeared, because the remaining gods no longer have enough divine power, and the believers have also disappeared. The so-called chosen gods have only gained a part of the power. As long as they are still believers of the God of Cards, they will not be regarded as pagans."

"After all, what people need is a mascot sitting on the altar, or a truly powerful god. If the God of the Forest really comes down to earth and talks to the elves arm in arm, saying that he is a god and needs their faith, the elves' faith will naturally collapse." Katerin said clearly: "So it is both right and wrong that the gods have disappeared. They do not have the power to move mountains and fill the sea, but they do exist in the world."

Chapter 151: The Key to the Other World is the Opening

"Therefore, there is nothing wrong with being chosen by God. I just didn't expect that you would be so resistant at the beginning. You actually..." Katerin stopped talking here, and took Fang Qingyun to a secluded place before continuing: "You actually exiled Him... I really don't know if you have really thought it through, or if you have been brainwashed by learning. In fact, God is not that unacceptable."

"You mean exile?" Fang Qingyun noticed this detail: "Can gods be reborn?"

"Indeed. And because the gods still have some power left, once they are exiled, they will leave behind a lot of... unique items. The most important ones are treasure cards. The treasure cards left by the gods are extremely powerful. The second are follower cards and spell cards, which can be used in duels. Finally, there are some artifacts that can only produce effects in reality. Although they are powerful, they are of little use to duelists."

"It's a pity that the god you exiled didn't seem to leave anything behind. The vice-president who went to pick up the spoils was really angry." Katerin covered her mouth as she wanted to laugh out loud, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but rise: "Green is just relying on his father being the vice-president to stir up trouble in the academy. Many people hate this guy who has no skills but is first-class at making trouble."

"Isn't your father a duke? He should be considered a high-ranking official, right?" Fang Qingyun was a little puzzled: "Can't a duke suppress this vice president? Could he be a prince?"

"No, it's just that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager." Katerin touched her head with a headache: "No matter how high the official is, he can't extend his hand here. The vice-president does not rely on his title of earl to suppress the duke, but relies on his position as vice-president in the academy. His Majesty strictly forbids nobles to extend their hands to the academy, but the effect is obviously not good."

"Without a regulatory department, corruption will naturally occur." Fang Qingyun used his past life experience to answer Katerin's question that had been interrupted for a long time: "Even if there is a regulatory department, it is inevitable that there will be cases of embezzlement. If the power cannot be divided, then isn't it just dividing up a local tyrant?"

"As for becoming God's chosen one..." Fang Qingyun snorted coldly: "What if something like Green happens to me? God can't make a written agreement himself. Even if he did, there would naturally be ways to find loopholes. Instead of becoming God's chosen one, it's better to hold my fate in my own hands. I don't believe in God or anything like that."

"Why don't you believe in God?" Katerin was a little curious.

"I don't have a good impression of gods. I will only show a certain degree of submission and respect to them because of their power and existence, but this is limited to my respect for them as strong beings." Fang Qingyun expressed his views on gods: "One is one, two is two. I will not look at them differently or treat them with courtesy just because they are powerful. If they do something I cannot tolerate, I will turn hostile to them as well."

"You are really realistic." Katerin laughed dryly. "It's okay for you to say these things to me, but if you tell them to others... you might be regarded as a pagan. Opposing pagans is the political correctness of the entire Principality of Serhi. It's not a big problem if you say it in private, but if you say it at an award ceremony or something like that... it will be a big deal."

The god of this world has indeed fallen to the earth, but there is still the god of cards. Fang Qingyun's words made all normal people and cultists in the world regard him as a pagan.

"So... could you please tell me about the sophomore courses? Senior?" Fang Qingyun deliberately used this title to emphasize the fact that Katerin was already a junior, so that she could give some appropriate suggestions.

"Sophomore year... those courses are too easy for you." Catherine had a headache because Fang Qingyun's attainments in dueling were far superior to those of ordinary people. Therefore, those students in their sophomore year, although they had put together a deck of thirty cards, most of them were still blank cards without any attributes, and they were destined to be crushed by Fang Qingyun.

"If you are worried about failing the course, you might as well go and have a duel with the teacher. As long as you can last ten rounds, you will be given an excellent grade directly." Catherine believed in Fang Qingyun's strength. Although in the duel with the god, Fang Qingyun's deck still showed the disadvantage of insufficient low-cost lubrication cards, but he still had a good winning rate against the teacher.

"Then... is there such a thing as quality for cards?" Fang Qingyun asked another common-sense question. Katelin just thought that he didn't care about anything other than playing cards and didn't pay any attention to it.

"In fact, cards are divided into different qualities, according to the grades of white, green, blue, purple, orange, and red. In addition, cards dropped by gods are not counted in these qualities. They are taken out separately and distinguished as another kind of god cards." Katerin calculated these: "In addition, if the bond with the followers is full, or if the spell cards are used too much, the cards will become golden."

Katerin sighed with a bit of regret: "Besides, the academy's blue crystal table will not show any card quality, nor will it show the special effects after being gold-plated... Alas, the table at my home is better than the one at the academy. I can only say that a lot of funds were taken as kickbacks by the academy itself."

"Who knows?" Fang Qingyun did not comment on this matter. He was still immersed in the news he had just received. The distinction between quality and the Grimoire of Destiny was the same. He was originally worried that he would let something slip because of the different quality distinctions, but now he is not worried anymore. He also knows why no one exclaimed when Viola took a photo of a red quality hero card. Fortunately, the table in the academy does not display quality, otherwise he would not be able to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

Katerin nudged Fang Qingyun with her elbow and said with a gossipy look on her face, "Tell me... what's the quality of your hero card? I think it must be a purple card, right?"

Fang Qingyun didn't say anything, but Katelin seemed to have noticed something, and said with an expression that said, "I know, it's an orange card, right?"

Seeing Fang Qingyun didn't deny it, Katerin didn't guess, but sighed to herself: "The average level of sophomores nowadays is about half white cards and half green cards. Not only do you have an orange-quality hero, you also have a bunch of green-quality followers. You have surpassed the juniors and seniors. You can even participate in the Olympic auditions."

Fang Qingyun still didn't make a statement. He was confident in his acting skills. If he spoke, he would be exposed, so it was better for him to keep quiet.

It will scare you to death to tell you this, but my worst cards are all blue quality, and the hero cards are red quality. As long as I adjust the smooth transition of the cards, increase the survivability in the early stage and the ability to play hand cards in the mid-term, then he can be said to be invincible in the late stage.

After all, Viola can create a high-cost minion card out of thin air with only two mana. Some of the effects accumulate to 1+1>2, with costs accumulated, effects accumulated, affixes accumulated, and even attributes accumulated. This effect is extremely powerful.

For example, there used to be a Fool card in Hearthstone with attributes of 4-7-7, which was a very good card. However, it had an effect that prevented it from attacking. To put it bluntly, it could only be a spectator on the field. If it really wanted to make full use of its effect, it had to be silenced, which was obviously not worth the effort.

But what if we add some effects to it?

For example, a "Goldentown Soldier" has a 1-1-2 effect and a taunt. Because of its low price and poor stats, few people would take the initiative to bring it. But if you use Viola's skills to combine that idiot and this Goldtown Soldier into one follower...

What is born is a 5-8-9 taunt. The low cost of 5 points is exchanged for a wall of 8-9, which is desperately thick. The 9 health points allow it to withstand a considerable number of attacks, and the 8 attack power represents the resistance to kill anyone who hits it. In this case, the side effect of not being able to attack is nothing at all.

I'll just put this big wall here, do you have the guts to come over?

What's more, Viola's skill is to combine two zombies into one card. Fang Qingyun's zombies generally have good effects and good attributes. When they are coordinated together, they are much stronger than this card. After it is played out, the opponent will suffer.

Fang Qingyun felt that he should change his thinking. Viola could bear the effect of replenishing cards, so what Fang Qingyun should do was to increase the ability to release cards in his hand, instead of having a bunch of high-cost cards stuck in his hand like when he was fighting with the God of the Forest.

What's more, you can bring more than one card. Fang Qingyun was disturbed by his previous experience. He used to put one card of each type in because he wanted to build a cosmic deck. The so-called universe means that only one of each card is put in, so as to meet the conditions of certain powerful card special effects.

For example, there is a card in Hearthstone called Jeffries. You can think of him as the genie. His battle cry is very vague, saying "If you don't have an identical card in your deck, then find a perfect card." The so-called perfect card is that the computer will calculate as much as possible to see which three cards best meet your requirements, and then take them out for you to choose.

This effect is exactly the same as making a wish, but it requires that there is no identical card in the deck.

But Fang Qingyun is not building a cosmic deck now, so he can just bring two of the same cards, and then wait for the mid-term wave to clear all the cards in his hand. When the opponent sees that Fang Qingyun only has one card in his hand and thinks he can turn the tables, Fang Qingyun can directly play Viola to replenish his hand with six cards, and then trigger the effects of all the zombie cards that have been played. Isn't that awesome?

The opponent's psychological endurance is a little fragile, so he is bound to be unable to continue fighting. Even if he continues to fight, he will find it difficult to resist Fang Qingyun's ability to create new cards out of nothing every round in terms of resources, let alone suppress him.

It would be great if Evelynn's effect could be further enhanced so that Viola could use the hero skill twice per round. That way, she could achieve infinite combos with a full hand, instead of being passive and having to use one card after another after running out of cards.

"Thank you for your information." Fang Qingyun nodded to Katelin: "I think I need to go back and change my deck. It's not advanced enough now."

Katerin waved her hand: "Then... goodbye?"

Fang Qingyun nodded to her: "See you later"

He is now in a hurry to go back and change his deck. Although some high-cost cards look good, not many of them can be used. Fang Qingyun encountered this embarrassing situation when facing the god. He has a bunch of cards of about five mana in his hand. When he has six, seven, eight or nine mana, he can only play one card in one turn, and the rest of the cost can only be wasted.

Therefore, the deck must be streamlined, or even further streamlined, leaving only a few key cards, and then the speed must be increased, and the upgrades and fees must be increased at a high speed, and then the opponent can be suppressed and the war of attrition can be fought with a full hand.

Just keep a few useless high-cost cards that can reduce costs, and delete the rest. Put in two low-cost cards if you can, and get more cards that can draw cards to increase your speed. When you have enough cards in your hand, you can exchange them with the opponent and you will definitely defeat the opponent.

Chapter 152: The Noble Circle is referred to as the Noble Circle...

Looking at Fang Qingyun's receding back, Katerin felt a little desolate. She laughed at herself, "What... My charm is just this... Oh, that's it."

Then her body turned into a bunch of flying bats. She carefully controlled the bats and flew towards her home with difficulty.

When she arrived at her door, she saw the old butler who was supposed to serve her standing at the door. The dry old butler bowed to her and said, "Miss, the master is waiting for you in the hall."

Katerin didn't even nod. She didn't look kindly at the traitor and walked straight past him. "I understand. I'll be there right away."

"Miss, I am just following orders. Please forgive me." The butler bowed. Catherine did not look back or even stop as she walked up the stairs to the hall.

When Katerina arrived at this brightly lit but empty hall, the atmosphere had changed. The singing of the soprano in the distance and the sound of wind when the huge glazed windows opened immersed and blended into a feeling of oppression in this dull atmosphere, like the sound of someone breathing when they were strangled to death.

"My dear daughter? How is things going?" A man's figure appeared in her seat. The seat was much higher than the ground and was placed against the wall like a throne. Catherine had to look up to see the man's face.

The man had an elegant figure, with that unique feminine beauty. His soft facial features did not give him the aura of a macho man at all, but rather made him look androgynous. Two canine teeth protruded from his upper lip, and he needed to purse his lips to hide them. Anyone who mistook his gender for the first time would be generously forgiven by him, and the final result... was self-evident.

He held a goblet in his hand, with blood sloshing in it, as if endless wronged souls were trying to crawl out of the goblet. After the parts that were crawling on the wall of the goblet lost their stickiness, they uttered low curses and slid back into the blood underneath.

It seems that those who offended him were not honest enough.

"Father, I failed." Catherine said nothing, but bent down, ready to accept the violent scolding from her father.

"What's the reason? My dear daughter? I want to hear your reasons." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the Duke's voice. Catherine, who was familiar with her father, knew that this was a sign that he was about to erupt like a volcano.

Catherine seemed to have this unique perception ability since she was a child. She could easily perceive the other person's inner desire, so she could avoid stepping on landmines through these actions. But now it seems that she has to step on the landmine of the Duke.

"Because of my figure," Catherine said her reason calmly. The goal the Duke gave her was very simple, which was to act coquettishly to attract Fang Qingyun. If she could make him infatuated, it would be best to get the god card from him. If not, marriage would also be fine. There was only one goal, and that was the card Fang Qingyun got after defeating the god.

Although the school said that they had not seen the God Cards, and Fang Qingyun also said that he had not seen them, would this be useful? The nobles were still considering what price to offer to get the "hidden" God Cards, and the Duke's bid was obviously ridiculously high - he put his daughter Catherine on top.

Catherine kept her mouth shut and she didn't tell anyone that Fang Qingyun had defeated the god. But the butler at the beginning was a traitor and the so-called loyalty was only aimed at the Duke, so the Duke knew everything. In order to pursue power, he would do anything to get it, so he naturally made the necessary attempts to get the god card.

But Catherine didn't try to do what the Duke asked. She didn't like betrayal and betraying others made her feel sick.

Therefore, she made two preparations. If Fang Qingyun was interested in her, then it would be beneficial for him to be brought into the Duke's Mansion and become a Duke in the future. If Fang Qingyun had no feelings for her... then she would come back and tell a lie to cover up the matter. In order to increase the credibility of the lie, Catherine did not hesitate to insult her own figure.

"That duelist likes plumper girls more, not my skinny body." When she said the word "skinny," Katerin felt her facial muscles twitching. It was not pleasant for her, a proud person, to insult her own feelings. "So the temptation failed, but fortunately, he didn't realize what I did."

"Is your figure not good?" The Duke put down his wine glass, put his hand on his forehead, and covered his eyes with his palm. He seemed to be thinking, but Catherine soon found that this matter was not as simple as she thought.

After his daughter was insulted like this, the father of the Duke was not angry, but... was trying to hold back his laughter?

A wild laugh broke out from the Duke's mouth. That arrogant voice was totally inconsistent with his original sissy image. Catherine could sense the volcano erupting in the Duke's heart, but who was the target of the eruption... was still a mystery.

"You're not in good shape?" The Duke smiled and shook his head. Soon, when Katerina thought she had dealt with it and could breathe a sigh of relief, the Duke got furious.

"Bitch!" This word stunned Catherine. She was so proud that she didn't realize that this was a word her father used to insult her. As the daughter of a duke, she had never been subjected to any direct attack. This time, the insult from her father made her brain freeze for a moment.

The Duke kept talking: "Do you think you are a noble vampire? No, you are a hybrid of a succubus and a vampire! Which vampire would have a tail like yours?"

The venom from the Duke's mouth sprayed quickly and in large quantities. Such an attack made Catherine's face gloomy. The blood pressure in her chest rose because of the insults, and it rose and fell faster because of her breathing. But she did not lose her ability to think. If she went by the tail... she might really be a hybrid of a succubus and a vampire, as her father said.

"How can a succubus have a bad figure? As long as you really want to seduce that person, you will naturally be obsessed with him and his body will change. You are worse than a dog eating shit on the street. You can't even do such a thing. Your bitch mother is the same. A whore on the street, huh, and you still say you have found true love..."

The Duke's endless humiliation obviously touched Catherine's sore spot. You can insult me ​​as a bastard, but if you insult my mother, this matter is not so simple.

Katerina's body moved on its own. Without thinking, she quickly walked to the armored knight standing beside her and pulled out the long sword from the armored knight's hand. It was more like a ceremonial sword than a battle sword. She turned into a stream of light and flashed in front of the Duke, pointing the ceremonial sword in her hand at his chest: "Please take back what you said to your mother just now."

Katerin spoke word by word. She was not joking. She knew what kind of person her father was. To put it bluntly, he was a scumbag in a high position. Her mother chose to commit suicide in loneliness because of abuse and cold violence. At this time, this scumbag who dominated everything actually dared to speak nonsense to her mother...

This is one of the reasons why Katelin wants to make friends with Fang Qingyun. She wants to leave this sad place, stay far away from this home, and never come back. Fang Qingyun is a very powerful person. After becoming her friend, he can also help her. Whether she will spend the rest of her life in the Lost Dwarf Fortress or live alone in the forest of elves, she is ready as long as she can stay far away from this home, and even give up the convenience brought by the identity of the Duke's daughter.

"Roar? Are you getting too strong?" The Duke was not frightened by this simple action. Instead, his daughter's sudden resistance aroused his sadistic heart: "You dare to attack your father without awakening the magic of either the succubus or the vampire?"

The Duke slapped him in the face. Catherine was just a little girl who drew her sword out of anger. The power in her blood was not released, which made her, a mixed-race, no different in strength from ordinary people. In addition, she had not received enough training, so she could not hold the ceremonial sword under the Duke's huge strength and it slipped out of her hand.

The sword blade, which was clearly a decoration, was nailed three inches into the wall under the huge force. The hilt was still shaking due to the sudden attack.

Catherine held her wrist tightly, trying her best not to let the Duke see her injured hand. She was not worried about being looked down upon because of her injured wrist, but she did not want to show even a little bit of cowardice in the face of someone who insulted her mother.

But it was obvious that this concealing method was useless. Covering his injured wrist in front of the vampire could not prevent the overflow of the bloody smell. The Duke became unusually excited after smelling the blood.

"Ah!" He exclaimed as if singing, with an indescribable taste in his voice that made people shudder: "The scent of a virgin... It seems that you think you are a noble vampire and have suppressed your nature of seeking pleasure? This is a good topic."

Catherine abandoned her original weak appearance and stared at her father, who was once familiar but now revealed a strange side, with the expression of a wounded beast.

"Nice expression." The Duke stood up from his seat. The pressure at that moment made Catherine involuntarily take two steps back, but soon she gritted her teeth and walked back to her original seat.

"It's a pity that the experiment failed. I thought that if I found a succubus, I could give birth to a child with the advantages of both vampires and succubus, but unfortunately, I was wrong." The Duke held the cup and walked in front of Catherine. He pinched Catherine's chin with his free hand and lifted her face. Catherine had no ability to resist and still maintained that angry look.

"I expected you to be a vampire with the superb charm of a succubus, but I never thought that I would train you into such a defective product with no charm at all, and even not much of the vampire's physique..." The Duke slapped Catherine on the face humiliatingly, with such force that fingerprints appeared on Catherine's face.

"Look at how stupid you are now. The wound on your wrist hasn't healed yet. Your physical condition is not even as good as a blood slave." Catherine's wrist was still bleeding. The Duke sneered, turned around and walked towards his throne, leaving his back wide open to Catherine.

Faced with such a rare opportunity, Catherine wanted to do something to resist, so that even if she died, when she was reunited with her mother, she could claim that she died gloriously in battle.

Chapter 153: The duality of some people is improper style = charm

She wanted to take her sword, but her wrist was frozen and would not obey her. She wanted to kick the Duke, even if it was just a light kick, but she found that her limbs were shrinking and weak, like a herbivore facing a carnivore, extremely resisting all her actions. When she gave up that idea, all her strength came back. At this moment, Catherine had to admit that her body was cowardly.

"It really makes me feel disappointed... You can't even inherit the resistance that is rooted in the hearts of the vampires." The Duke sat on his throne and crossed his legs: "As long as you kill me and take out my heart, you can immediately become the youngest duchess. It's a pity that you can't do it... You still have those insignificant family ties in your heart."

Bullshit, Catherine calmed down. Her body instinctively reminded her not to act recklessly because of the Duke's pressure and strength, otherwise she might be consumed as a blood bag. As for the bullshit family affection, it didn't exist between her and the Duke.

Catherine was born in an environment where her family had little affection for her. She had never had a strong sense of presence in the family and was only taken care of by the maids. It seemed that her father and mother were always fighting, or her mother was being abused unilaterally.

Until one day, she saw her father bite her mother's neck, and as her mother struggled violently, he sucked her blood dry. Then, as if he had just finished a big meal, he threw the shriveled mother away as casually as throwing away a roll of crumpled toilet paper.

Her mother's subsequent suicide caused not only an earthquake in the aristocratic circle, but it wasn't even a topic of conversation. From then on, Catherine never had a good face towards the entire aristocratic circle again. Even when she was forced to join in the social interactions among the nobles, she watched everyone's ugly behavior from afar like a flower on the mountain.

Mainly because of the duke title behind her, coupled with her aloof demeanor, she has become a hot commodity in the aristocratic circle. Every day, self-righteous bees gather around her, wanting to get rich overnight.

"Get out, bastard!" The Duke issued an ultimatum: "You have insulted the dignity of the nobility. I will deprive you of all your property rights according to the law, and take back your dormitory and all your property in the school. If you can't bring back the man who killed God, I think..."

The Duke bared his fangs at this point, as if threatening: "I will have to taste the blood of the virgin succubus vampire hybrid."

It is okay for nobles to declare themselves insulted, as it is just a loophole in the law. Nobles can even declare themselves insulted, then bet a large sum of money and deliberately lose the game to achieve the goal of tax evasion. After all, the law will not impose taxes on just duel bets.

After all, these laws are in the hands of the nobles. They have power and connections, and naturally have the power to define the laws.
