Greetings, Mister Principal: Swarming in
On the first day of the Moon of Fire (April), Warren's Pharmacy Store has not yet opened, but a large number of customers have already gathered at the door.
These guests range from ordinary workers who take time out from their busy schedules to aristocrats enjoying life with nothing to do, ladies in long skirts and waving fans, and naughty children who have not yet entered school.
They come from all corners of Prest and come together for the same goal.
That's buying the latest batch of Coke.
The propaganda of "Daily Prest" is quite effective in this city. For three consecutive days, different forms of reports made the news that Coke will release a new card known to every household. Although some people sneered at this kind of thing, most people Most people are still willing to join in the fun.
"What are these cards for?"
A teenager asked. His father was a businessman who liked to collect various cups. He himself had no worries about food and clothing. Coke, a trendy drink, captured his heart. When he heard that Crescent Coke was going to launch a large-scale product, After receiving the cards from the mages, he came over with curiosity, but he didn't expect that there would be such a long queue.
"I don't know, but I heard that someone came here early this morning, worried that the Coke would be sold out."
A woman next to him said, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at the boy, thinking that this young man looked just right to her liking.
"According to the information released in the newspaper, this kind of card has various legendary mages on it. After collecting them all, you can exchange for mysterious cards. Most people may not be able to see it. Hey, as a collector, I know that this kind of thing will definitely Become high-value collectibles, just like those antiques and famous paintings."
A man with a big belly adjusted his glasses and said coldly, making the woman and the boy look over.
"Collectibles, that's impossible. After all, they are just cards. What collection value can they have?"
While they were arguing, the door of the store was opened, and Warren walked out with two clerks. Looking at the countless customers who were looking forward to it, he smiled slightly, and then spoke.
"Everyone, I understand your feelings, but in order to ensure that everyone can enjoy Coke, our store's rule is that each person can buy up to three bottles of Coke and similar drinks. Please understand."
Warren has prepared enough goods this time, but for better publicity and for the hunger marketing plan that Reiner mentioned before, Warren made such a restriction.
The crowd didn't protest. In fact, many people didn't know much about cards and were just following the trend.
The queue moved forward slowly, and the person at the front quickly bought a Coke and exchanged it for three cards through the tag.
Moriah is one of them. Ever since he came into contact with Coke, he has been addicted to this exciting new drink. He drinks at least three bottles a day. He also likes Crescent Coke's new product very much. Say, he is the most ardent fan.
After reading about these cards that appeared with Coca-Cola in the newspaper, he was very excited. He went to the Warren Pharmacy Store early this morning to wait, but he did not expect that someone had already boarded the card first.
Of course, as one of the first people to arrive, Moriah got what he wanted and bought three bottles of Coke. He eagerly tore open the labels to reveal the hidden numbers, and then got three bottles of Coca-Cola from the clerk responsible for issuing cards. Black bag containing cards.
He opened it immediately without thinking. Fortunately, these three cards were not repeated.
Moriah gently stroked the three cards in his hand. The hard paper used in these cards felt like ancient books. On the back was a magic circle to prevent counterfeiting. Moriah did not know magic, but He saw a mage apprentice pouring some magic power into it, and the magic circle emerged into the air and started spinning. Even though it was a simple magic to verify signatures, it still made Moria feel envious.
Flipping the card over, Moriah looked at the contents of the card he had received.
A man stood on the cliff, looking into the distance, surrounded by four animals: brown bear, eagle, lynx, and dragon eagle. The name of the mage was written in gold font below the card: Fandral Aman, the God of Nature. host.
"Fandral Aman became famous in the year 353 of the Blue Moon Calendar. He is a master of the transformation system and can transform into four kinds of beasts. At the same time, he is also a pioneer in bloodline research. Throughout his life, he has devoted himself to transforming magical creatures into The bloodline was perfectly integrated into the mage's body, and its inheritance was later carried forward by the bloodline mages and became the source of the beast mages."
Below this text describing the mage's life, there is a line of small yellow characters.
"Only when you transform into a beast can you appreciate human wisdom - Fandral Aman."
In addition, in the upper right corner of the card, there is a serial number 23 in cursive fonts. Obviously, this is the twenty-third card.
Moriah looked at the mage on the card again. He had never seen this way of painting a character before. Although it was obviously exaggerated and omitted, it showed all the characteristics of the mage, which was impressive. profound.
He didn't know whether the real Fandral Aman looked like this in history, but Moria believed that if he had the chance to see the other person's portrait, he would definitely recognize it based on the impression of this card.
"This is simply a work of art."
Moriah admired and quickly looked at the other two cards.
An old man in gray robe is drawn on a card~IndoMTL.com~ He is holding a pure white staff. The top of the staff is a bright crystal. The old man is on a high tower. He seemed to be meditating on something. Around him, countless lights gathered and turned into a rainbow of seven colors.
This is Lincoln Woolthorpe, the Light Chaser. Even Moria, who does not know magic, knows that this mage first discovered that sunlight is actually a mixture of multiple colors, and uses special With the help of the instrument, it can be divided into seven colors, which are the colors of the rainbow.
The introduction also stated that Lincoln Woolthorpe was a master of illusion. Seventy-two of the commonly used illusion spells are named after him.
The other card shows a young man with a handsome face. He is wearing a loose robe and is sitting at the table writing. Beside him, countless triangles, circles, and rectangles are intertwined, and formulas are looming. .
This mage Moria didn’t know him, but through the introduction in the text, he knew that this was Thales Anaxie, a mage who was active 1,800 years ago. He was the first to discover that on the plane Above, the sum of the squares of the two right-angled sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. This conclusion was later called Anakshi's theorem, and became one of the earliest mathematical theorems proposed in the history of magic.
His name is also quite famous: Theorem Arbitrator.
Just when Moriah was immersed in the stories of these mages and felt an inexplicable surge of heart, a girl next to him suddenly screamed.
"Ah, this card is actually shining!"
Moriah followed the sound and saw that although the card in the girl's hand was also a mage, the whole card was glowing and looked more advanced.
"Oh, look at this lucky lady."
Warren said with a smile when he saw this.
"She got a rare foil card."
