[Gem Knight Quartz (4 Star) Land]

[Pedigree: Rock]

【Level: 20】

【Talent: Fierce】

【Defense Strength: 1500 (1500)】

[Angel Clan, Effect: N/A]

As a rock-type Pokémon, Quartz's skin color blends in with the surrounding environment, and it seems to have used some kind of camouflage technique. As a result, even with the external plug-in's warning, Youzhi still had to observe for a long time before he could distinguish the other party from the environment.

"What a brilliant disguise! If I didn't have a cheat, I would have been fooled and thought she wasn't here. Judging from the direction she's facing, she must have been attracted here by the Heavenly Rank Golden Knight."

You Zhi immediately summoned the Magic Valkyrie and walked towards the opponent's position.

The Gem Knight Quartz did not move. She was very confident in her disguise and did not think that a mere human could see through her. She just thought it was a coincidence. If she moved, it would be tantamount to exposing herself.

However, when the Magic Valkyrie approached within ten meters, she could no longer deceive herself and had to admit that she had been discovered by the human. She immediately summoned a pile of falling rocks to smash at the Magic Valkyrie, then turned around and ran away.

But the Gem Knight Quartz stopped after running a few steps because the Silent Magician used instant teleportation to block her retreat in advance, and she couldn't help but panic.

"Boom... boom!"

The Magic Valkyrie dodged the falling rocks and turned to You Zhi, saying, "She said that if you don't stop, she'll blow herself up right there and then, and you won't get anything."

"Then ask her for me, what does it take for her to be willing to be conquered by me?"

In fact, there was no need for the Magic Valkyrie to relay the words. Quartz could understand human language and responded proactively: "Boom..."

After hearing Quartz's words, the Magic Valkyrie had a strange look on her face, but she still translated, "She said she doesn't want to be conquered by weaklings who only rely on elves. Only the brave who can defeat her with their own strength are worthy of her loyalty."

Chapter 85: Knight's Letter

After listening to the translation of the Magic Valkyrie, Youzhi hesitated.

I just broke through the fourth level of the strong and weak imitation state last night. What if I fail to control the strength well and hit too hard, leaving a psychological shadow on the opponent?

Some people may say that you didn’t show any mercy when you dealt with the neon stone spirit, so how come you suddenly become so compassionate to women?

Let's be honest, should those who surrender voluntarily and those who are forced to be captured be treated the same?

We have to be fair when doing things for others.

No matter what, since the other party came to him on his own initiative, You Zhi had no reason to refuse. He immediately took back the Pokémon Cards of the Magic Valkyrie and the Silent Magician, and then made a gesture to the other party asking for advice.

Quartz was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect the other party to accept her proposal so readily. She thought to herself that as a trainer who could win the favor of that adult, he really had the spirit of chivalry.

Just for this magnanimity, I must save some strength so that he won't lose so badly.

When he thought of this, Quartz first spoke a word of warning, and then attacked with his bare hands. The force was three points weaker than usual, and he did not hit the vital points, leaving room for dodging.

According to her idea, they would first fight for two or three moves with equal strength, and then she would "luckily" win. In this way, she would save face for the other party and continue to remain free.

I am so thoughtful!

Before the thought of self-conceit disappeared, a hand suddenly appeared in Quartz's field of vision and quickly enlarged, instantly blocking all vision, like a stone mask pressing on her face.

The next moment, the world turned upside down and consciousness was interrupted.

After an unknown amount of time, Quartz slowly woke up from his coma.

"what happened……"

She was about to recall her memories before she fell into a coma when she heard a fierce fight. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large blue-skinned lizard covered in steel armor and a girl holding a magic wand attacking their trainer together.

The steel-armored lizard is as powerful and heavy as a chariot. The rocks it touches will fly away like dandelion seeds. A sweep of its tail can leave a clear and rough crack on the hard rock wall.

The girl from the magician clan clearly had a staff, but she hung it behind her back and did not use it. She fought with only her fists, which sometimes burned with flames, sometimes flashed with lightning, and sometimes emitted cold air. She was agile and advanced and retreated in an orderly manner.

Quartz subconsciously compared and felt that it would be difficult to win against any one of them, let alone after the two elves joined forces, their combined strength and agility would far exceed the sum of their powers.

But even such an outstanding combination can only be trained by humans who are trainers.

"Strength is a good thing, but you can't rely solely on it. Especially when facing an opponent who is stronger than you, the best approach is not to throw every punch with all your strength. On the contrary, reserving a little strength for a rebound can actually make a greater difference."

"It's fine to prefer close combat, but don't squander your talents. No one says supernatural moves can only be used from a distance. And when learning moves, don't just focus on damaging ones. Non-lethal skills like 'Flash' can also be extremely effective if used properly."

You Zhi easily took the attacks of the two elves while pointing out their weaknesses.

He didn't know how other trainers developed relationships with Pokémon, but he had always used this method to communicate with Pokémon and provide them with targeted training at the same time, which was a win-win situation.

After a while of such a heart-to-heart talk, You Zhi spotted a flaw, knocked down the Magic Valkyrie with one palm, and kicked Qi Xi Yi Hao more than ten meters away and crashed into the mountain wall. It was finally over.

He turned around and saw Quartz in a daze. He was not surprised and said casually, "You're awake."

Quartz nodded blankly.

"My reaction is a bit slow. I wonder if I have some internal brain damage. But I clearly have some strength left..."

You Zhi didn't think much of it. After all, the elves' bodies were made of spiritual energy, so at most they could undergo a spiritual reconstruction, and even the most serious injuries could be healed. He took out a elf card and handed it to the other party, saying sincerely, "It ended too quickly before. If you're not convinced, we can fight again."

Quartz stared at the Elf Card in a daze for a moment, then sighed noticeably and said, "Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

The Magic Valkyrie translated, "She said that as a knight, she must keep her word, but she also has a group of subordinates. If she suddenly disappeared, it would definitely cause chaos. So she hopes the master can let her go for a while and return to serve the master after she finishes her personal business."

You Zhi asked doubtfully, "Can't we leave after leaving the mark?"

"Rumble..."

"She said her subordinates are a bunch of idiots. If she becomes a trainer's Pokémon and returns, none of them will obey her orders."

After relaying the story, the Magic Valkyrie added, "That's true. Pokémon can tell if one has been captured by a Pokémon Card. Once captured, they are no longer considered one of the same kind. Even if they were once the leader, they lose the right to issue orders."

You Zhi nodded and said readily, "Okay, then go ahead. I'll wait for you here for six hours."

"rumble."

Quartz turned and left.

"She said thank you... Is the master really going to let her go? She might just be looking for an excuse to leave and won't come back." The Magic Valkyrie reminded.

"If she doesn't want to come back, then don't come back. A treacherous elf, no matter how talented she is, is useless. On the contrary, it proves that she is trustworthy. Using such a simple method to reveal a character attribute that even cheats can't identify is really a good deal."

The Magic Valkyrie seemed to understand, but said nothing.

Four hours later, just when Youzhi was thinking about whether to hunt some wild game to fill his stomach, the Gem Knight Quartz came back with injuries on his body, as if he had been in a fight.

Quartz walked straight up to Youzhi, then knelt on one knee, swearing allegiance like a knight.

It's a pity that You Zhi doesn't understand the Western system of awarding honors, otherwise he could cooperate a little to create a good atmosphere. Now he can only take out the elf card and put it in front of the other party.

Quartz didn't mind spoiling the fun, he reached out and pressed on the Elf Card, leaving a mark on his own initiative. With a flash of light, he was absorbed into the card.

In this way, Youzhi can finally use the Pokémon Encyclopedia to confirm the opponent's true characteristics.

Gem Knight Quartz has two characteristics. The first is similar to Neon Elemental, which can automatically summon an instant spell card, but the card name must contain "fusion" and have a continuous effect.

The second trait is that when she evolves into her melted form, she gains the power bonus she had as a "Gem Knight" before evolving.

"So, the 'Fusion' spell card really does exist in this world, but what's its use? Elves can fuse and evolve on their own, without the need for spell cards."

You Zhi was puzzled and after thinking for a while, he decided to summon a fusion spell card to test the effect himself.

(The host: I don’t have any manuscripts saved)

Chapter 86: The meaningless card pile

"The principles of all things in heaven and earth, the causes of existence and destruction, the rewards and punishments for good and evil, the stories of magical ghosts and monsters, the laws governing spirits, all respond to my call!"

In the hotel room, Youzhi set up the ritual and began to summon the spell cards.

However, he did not use the newly captured Gem Knight Quartz as a medium to try to summon related cards. Instead, he placed an E-level summoning stone, because only by stockpiling a large number of E-level spell cards can the Silent Magician's attack-increasing characteristics be better utilized.

The summoning success rate of E-level spell cards is very high, even for novices it is 80%, and mature trainers basically will not fail. Youzhi has always had good luck since he traveled through time, and this time is no exception.

As the hexagram summoning array shone, a spell card slowly took shape in the center of the array. However, when You Zhi took out the elf encyclopedia to identify the effect, he couldn't help but look embarrassed. He finally understood why people called E-level spell cards cards of unknown meaning.

[Instant Spell: Pot of Humility]

[Effect: Return the two spell cards in your hand to the spirit world]

The card effect of this spell card is to return two cards from the hand to the deck. The so-called one card loss is three cards, which in reality means that the spell card returns to the elf world.

If the effect of the Pot of Modesty is to return two spell cards in the opponent's hand, they will definitely be A-level cards, but it can return one's own spell card... The trainer can completely let the spell card disintegrate by itself by not outputting spiritual power, and there is no need to refine an extra spell card.

You Zhi thought about it and thought that this card could only be effective in one situation, that is, the trainer had refined two spell cards but missed the opportunity to activate them, and holding them in hand would only waste spiritual energy.

If a spell card is disintegrated, it is equivalent to being used invalidly. Spell cards have a cooldown period, so if you encounter a situation where you need to use it again, there will be no card available. Therefore, using the Pot of Humility to return the spell card will retain room for re-refining.

“You may not even need it in this lifetime.”

Since he was just using it to increase his inventory anyway, You Zhi didn't bother to think about its specific use, so he replaced it with a new summoning stone and continued the ritual.

[Soul Storage Spell: Goblin's Perfunctory Response]

[Effect: Sacrifice a portion of the spirit's vitality to invalidate the opponent's instant spell card and return it to your hand.]

The effect of the second spell card is just like its name, full of perfunctory flavor.

If it can invalidate and destroy instant spell cards, it is indeed useful, but if it just returns them to the opponent, won't the opponent use it again?

If the target is a spirit-storing spell card, at least you can buy time or waste the opponent's spirit power. However, instant spell cards can be activated at any time and do not require additional spirit power consumption. So what is the point of disturbing the opponent's activation?

"It's not completely useless. If there's a Pokémon whose characteristic is that its attack power increases as its health decreases, it can be used with this card to automatically reduce its health."

You Zhi said something that he himself felt was unreliable, accepted the "Goblin's Perfunctory Response", and continued to summon the third E-level spell card.

[Spirit Storage Spell: White Hole]

[Effect: When the opponent activates the spell card "Black Hole", protect your own elves from being destroyed]

What can I say about this spell card? Using an E-level spell card to offset the opponent's B-level spell card is naturally a good deal, but the key is, how do you know that the opponent is going to launch a "black hole"?

Even if you gather intelligence in advance and know that your opponent has the "Black Hole" spell card, there's no guarantee that they'll use it in battle. You can't just refine it into a "White Hole" and keep it in your hand, right?

"This card must be used with the ability to predict the future to be most effective."

The effects of the three consecutive cards were very subtle, and Youzhi completely gave up exploring the practical value of E-level cards, especially without the cooperation of the Silent Magician.

All I can say is that Volkswagen's use of the word "unclear" to describe the E-Class card is indeed appropriate and is based on experience.

In the subsequent summons, spell cards such as "Inspection", "Humble Foreign Soldier", "Dice Impact", "Pinch Attack", and "Double Trap" appeared. Among them, the ones with some practical value were "Demon's Curry" and "Mars".

The card effect of the former is to restore the player's health by 200, and the latter is to reduce the player's health by 200. After being replaced with a spell card, the effect is "restore/damage the elf's vitality by one point."

Although the amount of recovery/damage is very small, it is only an E-level card. The spiritual power consumed in refining is negligible. From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, it is barely qualified. The key lies in its versatility and can be used in basically any situation.

A total of ten E-rank cards were summoned, and none of them failed, which was enough to increase the Silent Magician's attack power.

You Zhi felt the remaining spiritual power in his body. The amount consumed was very small and would not affect the next summoning. He immediately placed the Gem Knight Quartz's elf card as a medium and chanted the summoning words again.

After a while, a shining C-level spell card slowly took shape, and there was a broken gem on the card image.

[Spirit Spell: Bright Flame]

[Effect: ① When a "Gem Knight" Elf on your field is destroyed by your opponent, your opponent will take damage equal to the original attack value of this "Gem Knight" Elf; ② When this card is on cooldown, consume 1 "Gem Knight" card and this card will be refined again.]

Consuming a card, in card duel terms, means sending it to the graveyard.

"The second effect is useless to me, and the first effect is equivalent to a near-death counterattack."

This spell can only be used in conjunction with the Gem Knight, and its effect can only be said to be so-so. You Zhi did not pay much attention to it and immediately performed a second C-level summon. Unfortunately, it failed and the spell card automatically shattered halfway through its condensation.

After a slight adjustment, he performed a third C-level summoning. This time, not only was it successful, but the summoned spell card also had the word "fusion" in its name.

[Instant Spell: Dispersion Fusion]

[Effect: Fusion-evolve a non-Rock-type Gem Knight Pokémon. When this card is destroyed, the Pokémon exits the Fusion Evolution state. While this card is on the field, you cannot Fusion-evolve your other Pokémon.]

After Youzhi saw the effect description of the spell card in the elf encyclopedia, he immediately understood the significance of the "fusion" spell card.

The evolution of elves is permanent, and "fusion" spell cards can give elves the ability to evolve temporarily.
