CH.165 Reporting to the Earl about the Curing
“Welco back, Mr. Brian.” One of the maids welcod when I got back to the Sawyer estate.
“I’m back. Could you tell Alice I’ve returned.” I requested of the maid. I think Alice would like to know that I’m back.
“I apologize, but Miss Alice is away with Miss Paulina.” The maid said, bowing a bit.
“Oh, you don’t need to apologize for that.” I said. “It’s not like you control where they go or anything. Anyway. Is it possible for to speak with either Angelina or the Earl?”
“I believe they are busy until lunch, but you could speak to them at the lunch table.” The maid said. “Unless this is sothing beyond a lunch conversation.”
“Well, it might be, but I guess I can ask when we eat.” I said. “I’d like to go take a bath before lunch. May I use the sa room as I did last ti?”
“Yes. It has been prepared for you. Do you require soone to fill up your bathtub?”
“No. I got it covered.” I answered.
“I see. Please, follow .” She said before leading back to my room.
After my bath, I was relaxing a bit. And that ant I had ti for so packs of my own. Just because I feel like it. I guess I could also practice telekinesis, but I can do that when Alice and Paulina co back.
And I also want to open up so before Laura fully clears it in the night, as this is the first ti I’ve ever opened any of it in Pack Opener. I did buy a booster box of it back, well, before I was transported here. It wasn’t a first edition box or anything, and I didn’t even get a Lava Golem, but that is the collector’s life. I did get Book of Life at that ti, so perhaps I can get one now.
And if I can’t, I should at least get a few copies of Different Dinsion Capsule and that can help get what I want.
Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Pharaonic Guardian’
[Yes] [No]
Yes. First pack of Pharaonic Guardian, let’s go!
Spoiler
PGD 1
Gravekeeper's Spy, Dark Coffin, A Cat of Ill On, Terraforming, Master Kyonshee, Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier, Trap Dustshoot, Nightmare Horse, Winged Sage Falcos
[collapse]
Oh. So nice stuff. No, not the Winged Sage Falcos. Sure it is okay, but nothing amazing.
Where it is at is A Cat of Ill On and Terraforming. A Cat of Ill On should be able to make trap cards, probably. And Terraforming can get field spells, so I can play more factory building simulator with rare field spells.
Gravekeeper's Spy could also be useful for either spy things, or teaching so spy techniques. I guess I could use a ninja for it as well, but both is good.
Next pack.
Spoiler
PGD 3
Needle Wall, Birdface, Buster Rancher, Gravekeeper's Guard, Royal Tribute, tamorphosis, Reasoning, Dark Dust Spirit, Jowls of Dark Demise
[collapse]
Hey look, it is the giant space-cannon, that was translated as Rancher. Goddammit Konami (of Arica), can’t you do anything correctly?
I did also get tamorphosis and Reasoning. I have no clue how either of them work. No, that sounds wrong. I know how they work in Yugioh, but how do they work in real life?
Like, if I use tamorphosis on soone, what would it do? Would it do anything? Would it do sothing like what happened to Jenna when I fused her with Fire Sorcerer? Would it just turn them into a disfigured ss? I have no idea and that card might not be safe. So at least we need to try it in the Factory first. It could be used to “cheat” out fusion monsters, but as it doesn’t count as a fusion summon, there is no way it would count for the summoning challenge.
Reasoning is kind of the sa as tamorphosis. What does it do? Does it do anything? I don’t really even have a deck. I an, I could build myself a deck, but my skill has no concept of a deck. It is a collector’s skill, not a player's skill.
Anyway, next pack.
Spoiler
PGD 5
Gravekeeper's Curse, Card Shuffle, Gravekeeper's Vassal, Secret Pass to the Treasures, Tiater, Royal Keeper, Pyro Clock of Destiny, Des Lacooda, Spirit Reaper
[collapse]
Pyro Clock of Destiny. That should age sothing? I think. Like I plant a seed and water it, use Pyro Clock of Destiny and it ages a little. Then water it again, and use a second Pyro Clock of Destiny. And the seed will quickly grow. That’s what I think it should do.
Next pack.
Spoiler
PGD 7
An Owl of Luck, Cobraman Sakuzy, Gravekeeper's Cannonholder, Nightmare Horse, D. Tribe, Royal Tribute, Giant Axe Mummy, Dark Designator, Lava Golem
[collapse]
I got the Lava Golem! Yeah, I know I already have one, but this is a Secret Rare Lava Golem.
Also, I have no idea how Dark Designator would work. Perhaps if I use it on soone like Tye and call out the na of his tiger, he is forced to summon it? Maybe. Probably not.
I can just not use it.
Next pack. Still haven’t gotten a Different Dinsion Capsule.
Spoiler
PGD 8
Reversal Quiz, Curse of Aging, Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier, Gravekeeper's Spy, Ordeal of a Traveler, Maiden of the Aqua, Non Aggression Area, Different Dinsion Capsule, Dark Jeroid
[collapse]
Well, at least I got one Capsule. That’s good. I don’t think I’ll use it now though. Let’s just leave it for Laura. She’ll use it well.
Also Reversal Quiz. What a terrible card. Send all cards in your hand and on your side of the field to the GY and even after that, you still have to call your top card correctly. Not a good card.
But let’s do two more packs, for a total of ten.
Spoiler
PGD 9
Rite of Spirit, Hieroglyph Lithograph, Molten Behemoth, Giant Axe Mummy, Trap Dustshoot, Gravekeeper's Guard, Gravekeeper's Spy, Charm of Shabti, Newdoria
PGD 10
Card Shuffle, Curse of Aging, An Owl of Luck, Arsenal Bug, Reversal Quiz, Yomi Ship, Banner of Courage, Jowls of Dark Demise, Barrel Behind the Door
[collapse]
A super rare as well. Nice. Barrel Behind the Door is … interesting. It probably would reverse any non-direct attack back to whoever tried to use it. Like, if soone tries to curse , Barrel Behind the Door should be able to reverse that curse back to them.
Again, add it to the list of things to test out in the factory.
Overall, I got good stuff. Too bad I only got one Different Dinsion Capsule, but Laura will get more tonight.
After opening the packs, I spent a bit of ti practicing Mana Control and telekinesis. And I quickly realized that I had made a small mistake. It is nothing Laura can’t fix, but for anyone without System Support, it could be a problem.
I had ‘lost’ control of my skill. Well, I guess the better way of saying it is that my real skill level doesn’t match up with my status skill level.
Essentially, my mana was moving too fast. It was like taking an amatur rider and putting them into a supercar. If I didn’t do everything perfectly, I would lose control and my mana would desperse everywhere. Not that it is different from what I previously did, but back then I had the problem of my mana moving too slow. So I guess the more accurate comparison would be taking soone that has only driven cars with a max speed of 50km/h and putting them in a card that can easily go 200 km/h. It just invites danger and mistakes.
Of course, Laura is my little cheat code, so I could rely on her to do my mana control, but I had just gotten used to it to the point where I could do things like the contactless loop on my own, going back to having to rely on her felt a bit bad.
I really need to keep up with my skill levels, if I keep using Level Up! on my skills. Perhaps do sothing like dedicate an hour each day to figure out how much my skill grew when I used Level Up in the evening. That way I should be able to keep better track of how my skills grow and I won’t have this disconnected feeling between my skill level and actual skill.
“I heard there is sothing you wanted to talk about.” Angelina said as we were eating lunch.
Present were Thomas, Ellanora, Angelina (obviously) and her son Jonathan. No sign of Paulina or Alice.
“Yes. There is sothing I wish to report, but it isn’t exactly sothing that should be discussed while eating food.” I said, taking a quick but noticeable glance at Jonathan. Honestly, there is no problem with it, but I’d rather not have Jonathan hear about it. He doesn’t know about the System Support and he really doesn’t need to. I don’t know how kids, especially noble kids are in this world, but telling a kid that you are basically a superhero is a sure way of getting the news to spread. At least eventually. For a bit they might actually keep their mouth shut, but at so point they will want to show off.
“I understand.” Angelina said, noticing what I ant. “I’ll make ti for you in the afternoon.”
“So, is this better?” She asked. We had escaped to her study, but we did get one extra. Ellanora, her mother, had co as well.
“Yeah, this is fine. This is sothing you’ll have to tell Thomas about anyway.”
“Is it sothing bad? Has sothing happened to the dhampir village?” Angelina asked.
“Yes, sothing has happened. No, it isn’t bad.” I began. “To make the long story short, I summoned a vampire and had him cure the blood curse from every dhampir in the village.”
…
…
My shortened story was t with silence.
“Excuse , but let confirm. You summoned a vampire?” Ellanora was the first to gather herself.
“Yes, I did. And I had him cure the blood curse of every dhampir there.”
“You can summon vampires?” Angelina wondered.
“Yes. I can summon… well, a lot of different things. Heroes, sages, angels, vampires. Also more monstrous summons like beasts and dragons. And machines like the chanical carriage that I ride around.” I listed off few of the things I commonly use. I actually don’t really use any angels, but St. Joan is basically an angel with her light wings. And Guardian Angel John is an angel. I just have to get one, but Invasion of Chaos isn’t usually that nice to .

“Did you say you can summon heroes?” Ellanora asked.
“Yeah. Not heroes of legends that you know, but calling them heroes is the easiest way of classifying them.” The hero I’m referring to is of course Black Luster Soldier. I guess Buster Blader could be a hero as well, but he is more of a dragon executioner.
“Could you summon one? Right here and now?” Ellanora asked.
“I can, if that is fine with you Angelina.” I just wanted to confirm this. This is Angelina’s office, well study, afterall.
“It won’t cause a ss or anything, will it?” Angelina asked.
“Most likely not, but I cannot 100% guarantee that it won’t.”
“Fine. Just keep this hero in check. I have important docunts in this room.”
Well, she gave permission, so we are fine. I dug the card out of the collection and summoned him.
“Black Luster Soldier.”
Like always, a card appeared on the ground and my summon rose from it. Of course, the card was blue, as I was summoning a ritual monster.

Angelina and Ellanora ended up asking a bunch of questions from BLS, mainly about his heroic tales. I have to say, I really enjoyed hearing him speak about his fights against the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. I didn’t even know he did that, but apparently he did.
Spoiler
Now obviously, in terms of Yugioh lore, this isn’t the sa Blue-Eyes that Priest Seto commanded, but one of the other three. Yes, there were a total of 4 different Blue-Eyes White Dragons, most likely, as there were four Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards. So BLS would be one of the beings that survived fighting a Blue-Eyes and possibly the one that began the legend of the White Dragon.

“So, what I actually wanted to ask is this. I promised to take a dhampir as a slave and help her get deed stable. I need to know, can I bring her here or should I look into getting a house for us?” I asked. “I also need to get in contact with a slave trader, if that is alright.”
“Hmm. I don’t think I can answer that at this mont. In the end, my father is the one in charge so we have to ask him. I can help you get in contact with a slave trader though.” Angelina answered. “How quickly were you planning on taking this dhampir in?”
“Day after tomorrow.”
“... well, you work fast. I’ll ask my father about it and I’ll get an answer for you by dinner ti. And I’ll get you in contact with a slave trader tomorrow, if that is fine.”
“Works for .”
“As long as you can keep this dhampir in check, I see no problem in bringing her here.” I got the earl’s permission.
“Thank you.” I said as I lowered my head.
It wasn’t actually dinner ti yet, and he had asked to his study to give the news.
After hearing the good news, I returned to my room until a maid ca to inform that Alice and Paulina had returned.
I walked with her towards the parlor room near the entrance of the mansion.
