Iya Continent: Card God

The fighting and battles continued in the mine, with shouts and the sounds of weapons clashing constantly filling the air.

The underground mine site, formerly destroyed by the explosion, is now quiet and peaceful.

Dorn Maggie's body lay motionless, her throat pierced. Her eyes were filled with resentment and fear; she seemed to have never considered her impending death.

"How are you?" The elven girl asked, her eyes lowered, as she looked at Linta, who was lying motionless on the pile of stones.

Linta looked half-dead, exhausted, and said weakly, "I'm not dead yet..."

Casting the "Shadow" card of Clubs 3 also consumes a significant amount of mental energy.

"What was that just now?" Shia asked curiously.

I really didn't understand the shadow that created opportunities for myself.

The other party can't use magic now, so it shouldn't be magic. Could it be his supernatural power again? I've never seen it before.

“Just a shadow, I… just learned it,” Linta said with a sigh and a laugh.

You just learned that?

Shia was quite suspicious, but too lazy to ask further. This person's strangeness wasn't new.

"Are you all alright?"

At that moment, Jin Gong's worried shouts rang out.

Along with them came many people who came to provide support.

Jingon, Pinecone, Guagua, and Miss Jenny Herland arrived with their family's elite forces. The head of the Lear family remained on the scene to direct the battle.

"You won?" Gingon was slightly surprised to see Dorn lying on the ground.

I heard from the head of the Nale family that the two of them were in danger and wouldn't last much longer. Does "won't last much longer" refer to the enemy?

"Dorn Maggie, really dead?!" Miss Jenny looked at the lifeless body with great surprise.

The two of them couldn't even use magic, yet they managed to kill a mid-level Silver Realm expert. That's unbelievable. While it's true that many Bronze Realm experts kill Silver Realm experts, these are always cases where magic is used.

Linta said wearily, "Take the head out... and the enemy will naturally collapse..."

Miss Jenny reacted quickly, ordering her family to cut off the heads of the Wolf King and Dorn Maggie and take them to the battlefield. Seeing their leaders act this way, the morale of the Maggie family and the Wolf Bandits naturally collapsed.

As expected, the enemies fighting outside lost their will to fight upon seeing the two large heads.

Enraged, the vice-captain of the Wild Wolf Bandits, Fang, charged directly at the Maggie family. However, his men ignored his commands and fled in panic, ultimately leading to Fang's defeat and death. As for young Master Jim Maggie, upon seeing his father's head, he was terrified and bewildered, and was killed by Knight Gob and his men. With this, the Maggie family suffered a complete defeat, and they lost all influence in Shankan City.

a few days later.

Shankan City, the Herlan family mansion.

"Hey!"

Linta twisted his shoulders, shook his body, and finally became agile and free.

"It's done so quickly!"

Linta was somewhat surprised, thinking that he had been injured and would need half a month to recover.

Miss Jenny laughed and said, "After all, it's a 'doctor's' medicine."

The "doctor" mentioned by the other party does not refer to a profession, but to a person. This person, along with the "cook," the "bard," and the "magician," are known as the "Four Masters." They all share a common characteristic: they all lived for a very long time. They have appeared in history books since the first year of the new era.

This "Doctor" is the most respected of the Four Heroes, having saved countless lives throughout history. He even brought an end to the Black Death that ravaged the land. He created numerous medicinal formulas, which spread throughout the entire continent of Iya. The potion that heals Linta's injuries is one of the "Doctor's" finest healing potions.

"How has it been in the city these past few days?" Linta asked curiously.

Miss Jenny chuckled, “The remaining members of the Maggie family fled in terror upon learning of the deaths of the patriarch and the young master. During their escape, they fought amongst themselves for the family fortune, causing considerable casualties. As for their properties in the city, we purchased most of them through the Earl.”

Linta nodded slightly, seemingly understanding.

“Now that things are over, we should go,” Linta replied.

Miss Jenny, slightly moved, said with emotion, "This time, thanks to you all, otherwise..."

"It's all because of Jim Maggie who caused us trouble. We're just back for revenge," Linta said with a laugh.

Jenny hesitated, knowing full well that this was a gesture of goodwill, not revenge.

Linta never expected that this act of kindness would lead her to the card 3 of Clubs.

What was even more unexpected was that the Herlan family, who had helped them this time, would provide them with the very help they needed most in the beginning! In the future, the iron ore vein that the Herlan family had been mining for decades would be transformed into countless weapons and armor!

……

Outside the city, on a country road.

"Patriarch Leer, you're quite generous, haha!" Jingong weighed the silver coins in his money bag, overjoyed.

At this time, Linta, Shia, and the others had already left Shankan City and were on their way to Sandel's main city. They were on their way to remove the magic-suppressing ring.

"Isn't 100 silver coins a lot?" Linta asked with delight and curiosity. He now carried an extra 100 silver coins on top of the previous 22, a weight that brought him immense peace of mind and joy.

1000 copper coins are equivalent to 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins are equivalent to 1 gold coin. On the continent of Eya, countless commoners have never seen a gold coin in their lives.

They helped the Herlan family defeat the Maggie family, saving them from dire straits. As a token of gratitude, the head of the Herlan family, Ler, gave each of Linta, Shia, Pinecone, Jingon, and Gua Gaga 100 silver coins as a reward!

500 silver coins, equivalent to 5 gold coins, was no small sum for a family like the Herlans. After all, the high-quality low-grade magic potions that Dorn Magee purchased had cost several gold coins. However, the head of the Leer family didn't hesitate or frown at all; in fact, he felt he had made a huge profit.

Jingong chuckled and said, "Nonsense, even with my skills, it would take me a long time to earn those 100 silver coins! Now you know how difficult that is, right?"

Linta was still confused. All she knew was that Knight Gob received a monthly salary of 2 silver coins from the Herlan family. It was said that this was an excessively high income among knights of the same rank; even a different family head wouldn't give that much.

"It's always good to have money, but it doesn't matter if you don't," Shia said indifferently.

It seems that money is of little use to her.

Linta didn't understand. Money was useless to Pinecone and Guagua, which he believed in; he couldn't see any desire in either of them. But the elves, it was said, used gold, silver, and copper coins to trade with other races.

Of course, what Linta couldn't understand the most was...

Shia's own existence.

Even without the ability to wield magic, she remains incredibly powerful. She even possesses the skill to kill a Silver-level expert. If her magic-suppressing ring were removed, how formidable would she be? How was someone as powerful as her captured?

Behind her, there seems to be something unfathomable.
