It was extremely quiet in the living room.
Xu Sili patiently waited as he stared at the girl card on the table.
He didn't know what choice this girl named Lilith would make, but if she really refused to show her ability, then he would probably have no choice but to seal her in the card box and continue to wait for her fated person.
After all, it was better to be cautious in the face of the unknown.
He had a big family now, so everything he did had to consider Roland first.
In the end, under his gaze, Lilith closed her eyes again.
She refused? Looks like I won't be able to understand the story behind this card … Xu Sili was a little disappointed.
He was about to put the card away, but at this time, he saw an icon slowly appear below the card.
This icon was also blue, similar to the girl's blue hair and blue eyes. Xu Sili looked carefully and found that the icon looked like a book.
Could this be one of Lilith's abilities?
Xu Sili curiously activated [Insight] and found that the card's information had changed.
[Card (Lilith · Carter)]
Level: 4 Stars
Description: A mysterious girl who was forcibly turned into a card, showing one of her abilities to the world.
Card Skills:
Imparting: Support skills, can release cards to learn. Currently open knowledge: Card Master beginner skills.
Xu Sili read the card's information and was stunned when he saw the girl's new ability.
Card Master beginner skills?
Damn!
This Lilith is a card master teacher?
He stared at the card for a long time, then suddenly thought of something and quickly opened the future forum.
If this girl card was really a card master teacher, there should be related posts in the future forum. From these posts, he would know whether this Lilith could be trusted or not.
Unfortunately, although the future forum did have information about card masters, Xu Sili didn't see what he needed.
Because all he found were posts asking for help.
A player received a card master class change mission. This mission was very difficult. From the time the post was posted, this player spent more than a year and still couldn't find where the card master teacher was.
He asked for help on the forum and obtained some clues. Unfortunately, according to the feedback, these clues were not very useful.
Xu Sili flipped to the last post.
The post was filled with complaints about the difficulty of the quest by the player who triggered it. It was not very popular and only had a dozen or so replies. As for whether or not the player completed the class change, there was no feedback in the post.
Looks like the difficulty level of a card master's job transition isn't just high …
Of course, if this mysterious girl named Lilith was really a card master mentor, it would make sense that the players couldn't find her.
After all, who would have thought that a mentor NPC would be in a card? How imaginative did this player have to be to think of this and be lucky enough to find her?
While he was deep in thought, the girl in the card opened her eyes again. She looked at Xu Sili with a look of expectation.
This time, Xu Sili understood the girl's intention.
He looked at the card and thought for a while. He frowned and said, "I'm not a card master. I can't use card skills."
Introductory skills should be for beginners, but beginners can't use cards. Isn't this useless?
However, the girl in the card gently shook her head.
Xu Sili paused and thought for a while. "You mean … this skill can be used by non-card masters?"
Lilith nodded and gave him an affirmative answer.
To think that a non-card user could actually use cards …
Looks like his previous guess is correct? Xu Sili couldn't help but think. If a normal person can use cards, the power that can be unleashed will be terrifying.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Lilith's card in front of him. He couldn't help but want to try it.
"Brother Sheng, I want to try this card."
Xu Sili didn't act rashly. Instead, he discussed with Si Sheng. "Do you think it's dangerous?"
If it was dangerous, he wouldn't try it.
Si Sheng glanced at him and then looked at the card. He reached out and picked up the card. A light flashed in his eyes as if he was carefully feeling something.
The girl in the card looked at him with a trace of uneasiness. She didn't dare to look at him directly. She seemed to be quite afraid of Si Sheng.
Obviously, even though she was sealed in the card, she could feel Si Sheng's power.
Si Sheng looked at it for a while and then returned the card to Xu Sili. Seeing his nervous expression, he couldn't help but smile and comfort him. "Give it a try."
Xu Sili was delighted. "Okay!"
Then, he held the card and thought about how to use it. Suddenly, he felt a sense of enlightenment, as if there was some kind of power guiding him.
He released his mental power and tried to extend it towards the card, wrapping it up tightly.
Just as his light purple mental strength completely enveloped the card, the girl in the card suddenly moved. She raised the hand on her lower abdomen and made a mysterious gesture.
At the same time, Xu Sili sensed that the card released a dazzling blue light that almost drowned him.
Xu Sili subconsciously closed his eyes.
However, this blue light directly affected his mental world. Even if he closed his eyes, he still couldn't block the blue light.
Thinking about Si Sheng's words, Xu Sili didn't panic. He waited calmly until the blue light faded. Then, he opened his eyes.
Then, he found that he was no longer in the spaceship's cabin. Instead, he was in a room that looked like a study.
The room was decorated in a classical style with a bit of artistic atmosphere. There were two huge bookshelves on both sides of the room. Next to the bookshelves was a set of table and chairs. On the table was a deck of cards and some things that looked like tools.
Xu Sili glanced around. He couldn't help but be a little cautious when he was suddenly in a foreign territory.
However, at this moment, a blue light lit up in the middle of the room. A girl's slender figure slowly appeared in the light.
Xu Sili was slightly stunned.
Is this Lilith Carter?
After the light dissipated, the girl's figure was completely revealed. Her back was facing him, but her wavy blue hair and vintage dress made her identity clear.
Xu Sili stood in the same place and looked at her without making a sound.
She probably didn't expect him to be so quiet and didn't ask who she was. In the end, the girl slowly turned around.
She still had a faint smile on her face, but when she looked up and saw the scene in front of her, she suddenly froze.
"You … you guys …"
She widened her eyes and looked at Si Sheng, who was beside Xu Sili, with some surprise.
Xu Sili curved his lips. His hand was interlocked with Si Sheng's, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
"Are you Lilith Carter?"
He looked at the girl and asked.
Lilith recovered from her daze, then lifted her skirt and bowed to them. "Hello, I am Lilith Carter, from the card civilization, Saint Kano."
"You can call me Lilith."
When she mentioned her background, Xu Sili could clearly feel the girl's pride. Just like an Elementalist, she should be proud of being a card user.
He didn't expect that this "imparted" card skill would allow him to directly communicate with a card character, which was surprising.
Card civilization? Saint Kano?
Xu Sili remembered this name, and Lilith straightened up after bowing.
She looked at Xu Sili, then looked at Si Sheng, who shouldn't appear together with him, and asked softly, "Then, how should I address you?"
Xu Sili said, "Xu, you can call me that."
Lilith looked at him and knew that this was probably an alias, but she didn't care.
She nodded and said, "Then, Mr. Xu, please allow me to teach you the basic skills of a card user."
Xu Sili looked at her in surprise.
She brought him to this space, was it really just to teach him the card user inheritance? This NPC teacher was quite dutiful.
"Miss Lilith, before that, I still have a few questions to ask you."
Lilith looked at him and nodded, "Ask away."
"Where is this?" Xu Sili asked.
"This is a space created by card illusions. You can learn how to draw cards here, and I will guide you into the world of card users."
Lilith explained seriously. Then, she looked at Si Sheng and said, "I don't know how your companion came here together, but if he wants to learn together, it's fine."
This girl is really a good teacher, she only wants to impart knowledge to others.
Xu Sili sighed in his heart and asked, "When I asked you if you wanted to come out of the card, you nodded and then shook your head. Why is that?"
Lilith looked at the two strange people in front of her. In the past, people who came in would quickly immerse themselves in learning after she explained where this place was, and would never ask questions like this.
She was not used to it.
But, how did they know that she could come out of the card? And they even knew her name?
Lilith realized this in hindsight. Her mind, which had become rigid and sluggish because of her long slumber, started to work faster than usual.
"How do you know my name?"
She looked at Xu Sili and asked directly.
Xu Sili paused and smiled, "That's not important."
He couldn't say that he saw it with his observation skill, right?
Lilith looked at him suspiciously and then showed an understanding expression, "Did Cook tell you?"
Who is Cook?
Xu Sili was startled by her question and then reacted. Is she talking about Kuris?
In the end, Lilith continued, "But I don't know if his name is Cook. I guess he used a fake name like you."
Being directly exposed, Xu Sili was not embarrassed and said, "If the Cook you're talking about is the previous owner of the card, then it is indeed him."
"He was the one who gave me your card."
Lilith showed an "I knew it" expression and then said with some disappointment, "It seems that he also failed."
"What do you mean?" Xu Sili frowned.
Lilith looked at him with a trace of disappointment on her beautiful face, "That's why I nodded and then shook my head."
"I really want to go out of the card and have a look, but the premise is that I have to cultivate a card master and let this master release me."
"Before that, I have to stay here and can't leave."
When she said this, her expression was calm and there was no trace of resentment, only numbness.
Xu Sili looked at her. He didn't expect that there would be such a restriction on her. In a sense, this was also a curse.
"In the past, I have met many people who claimed that they could save me, but they all failed."
Lilith lowered her eyelashes slightly.
They also took advantage of her eagerness to do a lot of bad things. Later, she changed hands several times and met some good people and some bad people, but she never mentioned this again.
Anyway, the end result was the same.
She didn't think that the two people in front of her could grow into card masters. After all, many things had changed with the passage of time.
The only thing she could do was to continue the fire of the card civilization and guide everyone who was lucky enough to talk to her to learn how to be a card master.
Seeing Lilith's gloomy expression, Xu Sili thought about it and asked, "Do you have to be a card master to save you?"
Lilith nodded.
She had met many people and tried many methods, but none of them failed, even if she mastered the card skills.
This was a test for her, and also her mission.
Looking at Lilith's somewhat childish face, Xu Sili couldn't help but curse the shitty producers in his heart. This mentor setting was too terrible.
The key was that the clues were hidden so well that no player in the next ten years succeeded in changing their profession.
In the timeline of the future forum, this unlucky girl didn't even know when she would see the light of day again.
"Then, can we start learning?" At this time, Lilith calmed down and looked up at Xu Sili and asked.
Xu Sili was not in a hurry.
Anyway, the card was in his hands and he wouldn't lose it in a short time. Card masters could learn it at any time.
"I want to hear your story."
He was really curious about what kind of person Lilith was before she was sealed away, and …
"You just mentioned San Kano, that's your hometown, right? I don't think I've heard of it before. "
There were more than two hundred countries in the galaxy, of course he couldn't remember all of them, but since the players in the future forum couldn't find any relevant clues, it was very likely that this was an ancient country that no longer existed.
Lilith's numb expression showed a hint of sadness. "San Kano was destroyed in the disaster, and I'm probably the only card master who survived."
"Those things exist in the distant past, and they're already blurred in my mind. I'm afraid I can't tell you."
"That's a pity."
Xu Sili sighed and nodded. He didn't like to expose people's scars, so after confirming his guess, he said, "Then let's start learning?"
"Okay."
At the mention of learning, Lilith pulled herself together. She waved her hand, and a book on the bookshelf flew in front of her, floating and automatically flipping to the first page.
"Please sit in front of the desk. Today, I'll explain the basic knowledge of cards to you. After you understand this general knowledge, you'll be able to get started faster."
Xu Sili sat down on the chair, and Si Sheng came to stand beside him. Under Lilith's confused gaze, another set of tables and chairs appeared.
Then, he sat side by side with Xu Sili. Looking at his upright sitting posture, he looked exactly like a good student.
Lilith looked at him, frowned, and asked directly, "How did you do that?"
"This is just an illusion," Si Sheng said.
Lilith's frown deepened. That was true, but as the owner of this place, she couldn't add things as he pleased.
If it was possible, she would have refurbished this old antique room a long time ago.
"You're very good," she said.
Si Sheng nodded and didn't bother with her anymore.
Lilith retracted her attention, opened the first page of the introductory book, cleared her throat, and prepared to start the class.
But she had just made an opening statement, and before she could continue, she was stuck again.
She stared at Si Sheng.
To be precise, she stared at the thing that appeared in his hand.
She saw that in Si Sheng's hand, there was a tray with a pot of coffee, a cup, and two small plates with exquisite snacks.
As if he felt that it wasn't enough, he gently wiped his hand, and a small plate of sugar cubes appeared on the tray.
He nodded with satisfaction, put the tray on the table, poured the coffee, added sugar, and mixed it to Xu Sili's favorite flavor.
Xu Sili was listening attentively when the teacher suddenly stopped. He turned his head and saw that Si Sheng had placed a cup of coffee in front of him. In addition to the coffee, there were also snacks.
"… …"
Was it really okay to do this in class? The little teacher's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
Xu Sili looked at Lilith and smiled embarrassedly. Just as he was about to ask Si Sheng to put it away, he saw the girl suddenly pout, and her blue eyes started to water up.
Damn, she made the little teacher so angry that she cried …
Xu Sili was thinking of ways to salvage the situation, but the blue-haired girl pouted and said tearfully, "Lilith wants to drink too … Lilith hasn't eaten in years …"
Xu Sili, "… …?"
Seeing the tears in the girl's eyes, Xu Sili hurriedly moved the tray in front of her.
"You can drink it, and you can eat the snacks too."
Lilith sniffled, looked at him pitifully, and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, yes, eat it."
Xu Sili smiled stiffly and pushed the tray in front of her again.
Lilith picked up the coffee and took a small sip. The bittersweet taste made the numbness in her eyes fade a little, and her expression finally came back to life.
