The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

He walked directly to Dekan and asked:

"Sir, are you looking to purchase Captain Derkan?"

Dekan turned his head to look at the thin, middle-aged man with a puzzled expression.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded:

"Yes, that's right."

"I happen to have Captain Derkan here. I urgently need money, so I only need 1200 coins (1 gold coin = 1000 coins). Would you like that?"

"let me see."

Since most of the central and southern kingdoms use the common currency issued by the Kingdom Federation, Dekan can easily use the currency earned in the Kingdom of Norton directly in the Kingdom of Landil, even without exchanging currency.

The thin, middle-aged man looked around, licked his lips, and then took out a card from his pocket and showed it to Dekan.

Dekan looked at the card and managed to suppress his expression.

This bootleg version of Captain Derkan's mouth is even more crooked!

It seems that after a short period of practice, the skills of this bastard counterfeit card maker have become even wilder!

"Can you make it a little cheaper?"

Dekan is ready to put on another act.

He wasn't sure if the guy in front of him was the counterfeit card maker himself, or just someone helping to sell stolen goods.

It's not a good place to start.

"The minimum price is 1100 coins. I can't go any lower than that. If I didn't need the money urgently, I really wouldn't have sold it so cheaply."

The thin, middle-aged man replied with a bitter expression.

Dekan looked at him like this and a cold smile began to appear on his face.

The genuine card only costs 1 gold coin!

Keep acting, you son of a bitch.

The acting is just like they're selling genuine game cartridges!

"Hmm, do you have any more [Captain Derkan] cards? If I buy a few more, can you give me a discount?"

Dekan asked, somewhat conflicted.

The thin, middle-aged man probably wouldn't carry all the cards, which are so valuable to him, with him. If he had more stock, perhaps he could accompany the thin, middle-aged man to the storage or even production site of these pirated cards.

"Yes, if you buy five at once, I'll sell them to you for 5 gold coins!"

The thin, middle-aged man was still pretending to be in urgent need of money.

"Then I'll take them all!"

Dekan gritted his teeth, took out five gold coins, and handed them to the thin, middle-aged man.

He thought to himself that it was exactly as he had expected.

“I didn’t bring everything with me, please come with me.”

After accepting the gold coins, the thin, middle-aged man quickly led Dekan and the others to a dilapidated little shop.

Apart from a small counter, there was hardly any room for customers to stand, and behind the counter was a door that seemed to be a small warehouse for storing goods.

Just as the thin, middle-aged man was about to unlock the box under the counter to retrieve his goods, Chloeux cast a light spell, "Binding Aura," which bound the man like tape.

"What are you doing?"

The thin, middle-aged man's expression instantly turned terrified.

The instant Chloix made her move just now revealed a magical power intensity that sent shivers down the spine of the thin, middle-aged man.

A high-level mage like that wouldn't come to a shabby little shop like his!

Even if they were robbing someone, they wouldn't have gone this far!

Did you make this card?

Dekan took out that crooked mouth and asked, "Captain Dekan."

"No, it wasn't me."

Who did that?

“It was made by Mr. Dekan! I bought it from legitimate channels in Tristine City!”

Hearing the thin, middle-aged man's words, Dekan was so angry he almost laughed.

When did he ever make such a grotesque card?!

"Heh, you think we're easy to fool just because we look kind?"

Dekan sneered, twisted his neck, closed the shop door, locked it from the inside, and then his expression turned gloomy.

"King K, increase his strength."

No sooner had Dekan finished speaking than Chloix unleashed a wind blade that struck the thin, middle-aged man in the chest.

The sudden, tearing sensation in his chest made the thin, middle-aged man want to scream in agony, but he found that he couldn't make a sound, or even call for help.

He has been banned from speaking.

What's even more terrifying is that he originally thought he would die under the wind blades, but in fact he was completely unharmed.

It seems that no matter how many wind blades he endures, he will not die.

What follows will likely be an experience worse than death for him.

"I'll give you one more chance. Tell the truth. If you tell even one lie, we'll torture you for ten minutes before we come back to question you. Understand?"

Dekan nudged the thin, middle-aged man's shoulder and looked at him coldly.

The thin, middle-aged man nodded vigorously.

After Chloex removed the [Silence] status from him, the thin, middle-aged man immediately looked towards the room behind the counter and shouted:

"I didn't make this card! The card maker is in that room!"

"Hehe, whether you tell me or not, I'll take a look at what's in this little room."

Dekan probably guessed it too.

If there is a counterfeit card maker, then it is very likely that they are secretly making cards in a small room behind the counter.

Because Dekan sensed fear.

There seems to be a guy in the small room.

After realizing what had happened at the shop, he held his breath.

That was his favorite kind of breathing sound, one that couldn't be hidden, and that carried fear.

Back in the [Wilderness Snowstorm Shadow], Dekan also listened to the breathing of the two sisters from the Church of Resurrection as the older sister struggled desperately behind the door.

"If you dare to plagiarize my intellectual property, are you prepared to pay the price?"

Dekan approached the small room step by step like a demon.

Just as Dekan was about to open the door with a mocking expression, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a small figure, completely covered by a hood and cloak, rushed out. She immediately threw out a crooked mouth: "Captain Dekan."

Just like before at the city gate, Dekan was once again mocked by the crooked-mouthed Captain Dekan.

Dekan hadn't expected that this counterfeit card maker would have the audacity to take the initiative.

However, Dekan was prepared this time and immediately used [Blood Purification] to remove the taunt status.

Just as Dekan was about to use the hypnotic gas to subdue her.

Immediately, Dekan felt a splitting headache.

Fortunately, the intensity of the pain was not excessive and not enough to make Dekan faint.

"What the hell?!"

As Dekan covered his forehead, the agile little guy seized the opportunity to bypass Dekan and ran towards the door.

In the instant he came to his senses, Dekan figured out what had just happened!

The little guy's toy hanging from his waist is an equipment card similar to the Dekan [Cursed Doll].

【Cursed Doll】

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 1]

[Effect: Returns 0.1% of the damage received to the opponent, and transmits 100% of the pain sensation to the opponent.]

[Note: Tata's masterpiece]

And this little guy just now also used a mental spell similar to Dekan's [Mental Collision] (the two sides' minds collide, and the loser is stunned and suffers great pain).

[Mental shock]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 1]

[Effect: This effect is only effective when the distance between the two parties is less than 1 meter. The closer the distance, the stronger the effect, triggering a clash of their mental energies.]

[Note: Another masterpiece by Tata]

This little guy also has a very strong will; he was able to withstand the pain caused by the card when he was consciously prepared.

Without a doubt, Dekan was certain that this guy was just like him!

She can not only counterfeit her own cards, but she can even make similar ones of cards that Dekan has never sold!

This guy is undoubtedly a genius who can independently create rare purple cards!

Unfortunately, he still looks a bit green.

For example, this [Mental Shock] seems to eliminate the negative effect of "stunning the loser" compared to Dekan's [Mental Collision], but it lacks the consideration of preventing [Spell Counter].
