Chapter 96 The Mage Kobold - Gou Yan

10 purple cards, 3 resource cards, 2 extraordinary skill cards, 2 equipment cards, 1 summon card, and 1 enhancement card.

[One-Star Supply Card (Purple) - 50 jin of Meat: Edible]

[One-Star Supply Card (Purple) - 100 Jin of Iron: Can be used to forge weapons]

[One-Star Supply Card (Purple) - 12 Black Panther Fur: Can be used to craft leather armor]

The two extraordinary skill cards are naturally [Fireball] and [Fire Shield].

The two equipment cards are a jade pendant and a cloak.

[One-Star Equipment Card (Purple) - Obsidian Jade Pendant: Carved from obsidian spirit jade, with two magic arrays engraved inside, and comes with two effects: Obsidian Protection and Obsidian Counterattack]

Obsidian Guardian: When activated, it can form a shield to resist attacks. The shield lasts for ten seconds and can be used once a day. Obsidian Counterattack: Requires Obsidian Guardian to be activated. Attacks that hit the shield will be redirected to the enemy. Can be used once a day. Note: Can be charged with mana to refresh the cooldown time.

60 mana points can be poured into the Obsidian Jade Pendant at once to refresh the cooldown of Obsidian Guard and Obsidian Counterattack.

[One-Star Equipment Card (Purple) - Panther King Cloak: Made from the fur of the Black Panther King, it comes with two effects: Panther King's Protection and Panther King's Speed.]

Leopard King's Protection: After activation, a phantom image of a leopard king will appear, enveloping the body and resisting attacks for ten seconds. It can be used once a day. Leopard King's Speed: After activation, speed is doubled for thirty seconds. It can be used once a day. Both equipment cards are pretty good. After reading the attributes, Chen Hao thought about it and used them directly.

With two flashes of purple light, a jade pendant made of black jade and a black cloak appeared in his hands.

Then, he hung the jade pendant at his waist and draped the cloak over his back.

"Not bad, he's quite handsome."

In his personal office, there was a half-length mirror. Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he looked at the summoning card.

[One-Star Summoning Card (Purple) - Kobold Mage: Summons a Kobold Mage. Kobold Mages are all fire mages, so the summoned Kobold Mage will randomly master one fire spell and will be 100% loyal.]

"Okay, very good."

Chen Hao was overjoyed.

Without much hesitation, Chen Hao used the purple card directly.

A flash of purple light appeared, and a red-skinned kobold about 1.5 meters tall appeared in front of Chen Hao.

This dog-headed man has a human-like body but a dog-like head, full of fangs, and a ferocious look in his eyes.

But when its eyes fell on Chen Hao, its gaze immediately became gentle and respectful.

"Woof woof woof," it barked a few times, then knelt on the ground, lowered its head to Chen Hao, and showed a submissive appearance.

Clearly, this dog-headed man doesn't speak human language.

But as its owner, Chen Hao could inexplicably understand it.

It says, "This servant greets his master."

Get up.

Chen Hao said.

The kobold could clearly understand Chen Hao's words. Upon hearing this, it quickly got up from the ground, stood there, and waited for Chen Hao's further instructions.

"interesting."

A thoughtful look appeared on Chen Hao's face: "I don't know, can it only understand my words, or can it understand human speech?"

So, Chen Hao conducted an experiment.

He walked out of his personal office and waved to Xu Zhen, who was sitting on the eighteenth floor.

Xu Zhen quickly ran towards Chen Hao.

"Brother Chen, what's the matter?"

"Come in with me."

Xu Zhen then followed Chen Hao into his personal office with a puzzled look on his face.

Upon entering, I saw red-skinned dog-headed men standing inside.

Xu Zhen was startled and quickly raised the long sword in his hand: "What monster?"

"Don't be nervous," Chen Hao quickly reassured Xu Zhen, "This is something I summoned; it won't hurt you."

Reassured by Chen Hao, Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and put down the long knife in his hand.

Then he looked at the kobold with a look of amazement; he had never seen such a creature up close before.

Previously, I had only seen it from a distance through the window, so it wasn't very clear.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Zhen couldn't help but frown: "Really ugly."

Indeed, in human aesthetics, the appearance of a kobold is undoubtedly ugly and disturbing.

For creatures that resemble humans but are not human, humans naturally experience the uncanny valley effect.

"Xu Zhen, I called you in so you can say a few words to it."

"Oh, want to say a few words?"

Xu Zhen didn't understand Chen Hao's intention in doing this.

"I want to see if he can understand human speech."

Chen Hao offered an explanation and then urged Xu Zhen to speak quickly.

Having no other choice, Xu Zhen asked, "What's your name?"

"Where are you from?"

"You're so ugly."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Chen Hao's face darkened slightly.

But he didn't say anything more to Xu Zhen. Instead, he looked at the kobold and asked, "Did you understand what he said?"

"Woof woof woof (Master, the servant cannot understand)."

""

"That's what the kobold replied."

"So, it can only understand what I say!"

Chen Hao nodded knowingly.

"Alright, Xu Zhen, you can go now."

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Xu Zhen left Chen Hao's personal office.

Chen Hao looked at the kobold and then asked him some questions.

"What's your name?"

"Master, this servant has no name."

"Where are you from?"

"This servant does not even know where he comes from."

The fact that neither question had an answer made Chen Hao frown.

If he didn't know that summoned creatures are 100% loyal to their summoners, he would have suspected that the kobold was lying.

"Alright," Chen Hao continued, "What kind of magic do you possess?"

"Master, this servant is proficient in the Fire Rope Technique."

"Fire Rope Spell? What kind of spell is that?"

"Master, the Fire Rope Technique is a rope formed from condensed flames. It can be used to bind enemies and inflict damage on them."

"Show me what you've got."

Chen Hao gave the instructions.

The kobold dared not delay and quickly chanted a spell. About five seconds later, a two-meter-long, thumb-thick rope made of flames appeared.

"That's enough, you can go now."

"Yes, Master."

The kobold quickly dispelled the [Fire Rope] spell, and the fire rope turned into specks of fire and dissipated.

"Besides this Fire Rope spell, do you know any other fire spells?"

"That's all, Master. This servant only knows this one spell."

"So how many spell slots do you have?"

"Three, Master."

"6

"What about the maximum magic power?"

"100 points, Master."

"Do you have any magical talent?"

"Yes, Master."

"What talent?"

Chen Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

"I hope for a better talent," Chen Hao thought to himself.

"Master, it's a lower-level talent: Fire Spell Enhancement (Minor)."

"What effect?"

"It can increase the power of my fire spells by 10%."

It sounded so-so, and Chen Hao was somewhat disappointed.

"Okay, I understand."

Then, Chen Hao began to name the kobolds.

"From now on, your name will be Gou Yan."

Because he was a kobold, he was given the surname Gou, and because he was skilled in fire magic, he was named Yan.

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master. From now on, I shall be called Gou Yan."

Gou Yan was overjoyed to have a name, and a somewhat lewd smile appeared on his dog-like face.

"By the way, you can use all of these cards."

Chen Hao took out six cards, four purple and two blue.

Among them, the two blue cards are both [Enhancement Cards], and they are all the blue [Enhancement Cards] Chen Hao possesses.

The four purple cards include two fire-type spell cards: [Fireball] and [Fire Shield].

The other two are purple [Enhancement Cards].

One was saved by Chen Hao before, and the other was dropped by Chen Hao today.

Then, under Chen Hao's watchful eye, Gou Yan used up all six cards one after another.
