How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

Long Dong bought some things, but most of them were food. He couldn't help but wonder: These things seemed too ordinary! Is there nothing else good to buy locally?

Just when Long Dong was worrying about what kind of gift to choose, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the front. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a long line in front of a store, and the line was getting longer and longer.

Long Dong curiously stopped a passerby and asked, "What's going on here? Why are there so many people queuing?"

The passerby glanced at him and said, "I can tell you're from out of town. This is the Yunxian Sect's shop. Young man, have you heard of the Yunxian Sect?"

Long Dong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The passerby scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "You don't know about Yunxian Sect? This sect is very powerful, one of the strongest sects here. Moreover, this sect has only female disciples, no male ones. It is said that the founder of Yunxian Sect is a goddess! Therefore, the things made by the fairies of Yunxian Sect are very popular."

Long Dong looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why don't we just go in and buy it? Why are we all lining up here?"

A passerby smiled and replied, "You don't know. I heard that there is a prayer card made by the Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect for sale in the store. The Holy Maiden makes the prayer card on the spot. More importantly, I heard that it has the magical effect of exorcising demons and evil spirits! That's why everyone is queuing up to wait for the blessing."

Long Dong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said excitedly: "So amazing? Then I want to buy a blessing card and try it out!"

A passerby reminded him: "You better hurry up and line up, or it will be gone if you are late."

Long Dong hurried to the end of the line to line up. A blessing card? He wondered in his heart, what on earth is this? Just then, several fairies walked out of the store, flew lightly to the front of the line, and surrounded the entire line.

As soon as Long Dong took his place, four or five more people followed him. Then, the fairies surrounded the team and stopped the other latecomers from queuing up. It was obvious that there was a limit on the number of people who could pray, and those who came late had already lost the opportunity to pray.

Some people who were unwilling to give up tried to plead with the fairy, hoping to get some leniency, but were ruthlessly rejected by the fairy. Long Dong looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that this blessing is really popular, and I am really lucky to catch up with this wave.

The fairy smiled and said to the people behind her: "I'm sorry, the number of people this year is full. Please come back next year." Hearing this, the people behind her showed disappointment, but they could only watch helplessly as the people in front of them bought the blessing cards. They left silently, with regrets in their hearts.

After waiting for a while, it was finally Long Dong's turn. He came to the counter and saw a beautiful fairy smiling and welcoming him. The fairy first asked Long Dong to choose the cards he liked. There were twelve cards in total, all in bright red, but with different designs, representing the twelve Chinese zodiac animals.

Long Dong looked at the cards carefully and found that they were of very good quality and beautifully made. He thought about it and decided to buy one for each of Zhang Xiaoping, Zhang Xiaomei and Lulu, because he knew that Zhang Xiaoping was born in the year of the tiger like himself, Zhang Xiaomei was born in the year of the rabbit, and Lulu was born in the year of the snake.

So, he picked up three cards without hesitation, which were tiger, rabbit and snake. Then, he gently wiped off the "dust" on the cards, revealing the bright red color. Praying for blessings is usually for oneself, and one person can only take one blessing card.

Passerby A reminded: "Young man, why did you take three? Each person can only take one."

Long Dong didn't know that he could only buy one. Long Dong asked the fairy: "Can I only take one?"

The fairy was somewhat speechless. The moment Long Dong entered the shop, the saint saw him. The saint's face showed a hint of surprise but then regained her composure. She approached the fairy and whispered something. The fairy didn't quite understand what the saint said, but she still did as she was told.

The fairy said firmly, "Yes, each person can only choose one. Please return the rest to us."

Long Dong was faced with a difficult decision. After some thought, he decided to keep the snake card and return the remaining tiger and rabbit cards to the fairy. He thought to himself, "I'd better give the snake card to Lulu first."

Long Dong handed the tiger card and rabbit card in his hand to the fairy without hesitation, and the fairy respectfully took the two cards handed over by Long Dong with both hands.

However, when Long Dong paid the money and was about to take the remaining card to look for the fairy inside to give him a blessing, he was stopped by the fairy. The fairy directly asked Long Dong to pay three times the money.

Long Dong asked in confusion: "Why?"

The fairy pointed at the two prayer cards in her hand and said seriously: "Because these two prayer cards were destroyed by you. You can't pray for blessings on them anymore. So you must pay compensation." Her tone was firm and unquestionable.

Long Dong looked at the intact prayer card in the fairy's hand and became even more confused: "Damaged? Isn't it still good? What's broken?" He looked carefully at the card in the fairy's hand, but did not find any signs of damage.

The fairy thought for a moment and then found an excuse: "Because you have ruined your fortune!"

Long Dong scratched his head and looked at the fairy with a blank face, wondering: "Is the blessing gone? Then I will exchange my good card with yours for a bad one, and give you double the money. I will take the bad one to pray for the saint, okay?" He thought, this should be okay.

The fairy took the snake-shaped card from Long Dong, pretended to look at it carefully, and said firmly: "No, this card has been damaged by you! So you have to pay three times." Hearing this, Long Dong's eyes widened, his face full of shock. This card clearly looks intact! How could it be damaged? He really couldn't figure out the reason.

Long Dong took the snake-shaped card and examined it carefully. The surface of the card was smooth and flat, the pattern was clearly visible, and there was no damage or scratches. He thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't find the problem. Could it be that he overlooked some details? But no matter what, he couldn't see what was wrong with the card.

Long Dong sighed helplessly, thinking that since the fairy said so, she must have her reasons. So he silently handed the three portions of money to the fairy. The fairy took the money and took two cards and asked Long Dong to leave.

Long Dong looked confused: "Don't we still need to pray to the Saint? And I paid for three copies! Besides, shouldn't the two damaged cards belong to me? I paid for them."

As soon as Long Dong finished speaking, the fairy took the last card from him without hesitation. Long Dong was even more confused.

The fairy smiled and explained, "Your three prayer cards have lost their blessings, so they cannot be used for prayers. These prayer cards are disposable items. If your prayer cards have expired, they will become worthless. We cannot give them to you, lest you sell them as finished prayer cards."

Long Dong was even more confused after hearing this. He felt that he had spent a lot of money for no reason but got nothing in return. It was really unfair. Moreover, there were still many problems with what the fairy said. How could the fortune be gone? I paid for it myself, so why couldn't I give it to myself even if the fortune card was damaged?

Long Dong asked anxiously: "What exactly is good fortune? Can you tell me? I don't want to spend money without knowing why. And I didn't feel that I destroyed these good fortune cards. Why did the good fortune disappear just like that?"

However, the fairy seemed unwilling to give any further explanation and just coldly ordered her men to ask Long Dong to leave.

The quarrel between Long Dong and Xian Zi confused the people in the queue behind them. But everyone still lined up obediently and didn't dare to say anything.

Long Dong was a little annoyed, but there were still many people waiting outside anxiously. He could only suppress his anger and leave the store. Long Dong felt very angry: he had suffered a big loss in vain.

In Long Dong's mind, Zheng was also very angry: "This must be a black shop! They just saw that you are an outsider, so they bullied you like this."

Long Dong stood at the door and waited quietly for all the people who came to pray to leave. Long Dong must figure it out today. Otherwise, he would spend so much money in vain but not know what went wrong. How could that work?

Long Dong also observed the blessing cards in the hands of the people who came out later. Long Dong felt that they were no different from the ones he just took!

The fairy had just sent the last person away and was about to close the door when she was stopped by Longdong.

Fairy: "What are you going to do?"

Long Dong: "There were a lot of people here just now, so I didn't say anything. I want to know why the blessing cards I bought are invalid. I want to know what happened! Even those cards were damaged by me. I have already paid for them. Why can't I get those cards? I strongly suspect that you are a black shop. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

Fairy: "Explain?"

A fairy put a complete blessing card together with the one Long Dong had. Long Dong took the "good" blessing card from the fairy and wiped off the "dust".

Long Dong put the two cards together and compared them, but he couldn't tell the difference.

The fairy spread her hands, stared at Long Dong, and said, "Take the money."

Long Dong looked puzzled and asked, "What happened again?"

The fairy raised her lips, revealing a hint of a smile, and replied, "You just destroyed this one too. The blessing on this prayer card is gone."

Long Dong frowned and tried to recall what had just happened, but he couldn't remember what he had done wrong. However, Long Dong soon realized the problem. It seemed that he had only done one thing, which was to wipe off the "dust" on the card.

Long Dong asked tentatively: "Are you talking about the layer of dust on the card just now?"

The fairy immediately widened her eyes and shouted angrily, "Oh, you dare to say that the ancestor's blessing is ash? You are simply courting death. Pay the money quickly. And get out of here!"

Her voice echoed throughout the room, making people feel cold. Long Dong was instantly furious. But he thought that a good man should not fight with a woman, so he endured it.

Long Dong: "You can pay. Just give me these cards. You can't let me pay four times and get nothing."

But the fairy refused decisively. Long Dong was really angry. I have been patient for a long time! What kind of lousy shop is this? What kind of rules are these! Long Dong realized that he was fooled. Long Dong immediately released the pressure of the Venerable Rank.
