Just now, Shade proposed that they want to bet on special cards, and this proposal was naturally agreed to by the two brothers. What Shade took out was the one he won from the circus magician in the country tavern in Randall Valley [Circus Tragedy]
Eucalyptus·Headless Clown], this is a card with the suit color of Star 3. The special effect is: activate the effect after the game is over, remove this card, and add 5 to your total points. This effect must be activated.
Mr. Eric Foran, who wears a monocle in his right eye, and Mr. Charles Foran, who wears a monocle in his left eye, took out "Shacardi Story: Love of Wine" and "Shacadi Story" respectively.
Cady Story·Misty Lady].
[Shakadi Story·Wine Love], flower 4, if at the end of the game, all players have zero cards with the same number in their hands, the card points can be adjusted between 4 and 5.
[Shacadie's Story·Misty Lady], flower 3, if at the end of the game, the sum of the cards in all players' hands is less than or equal to (number of players) × 17, you can add 1 to your total points.
"The Story Collection of Shakadi" is an ancient collection of stories formed in the southern region of Kasenlik in the early sixth era. It contains fairy tales, fables and other themes, and is a quite ancient storybook. Shad once wrote in the history of
Dong Oxenfurt has seen Star 1’s [Shacadie’s Stories: Frozen Love] (Chapter 1236) in his hand. The activation conditions for that card are also related to the hand conditions of all players after the game.
.
After defeating Stone Oxenfurt, Shade also thought about looking for his Rhodes deck. After all, only Shade knew that his deck contained the Star 1 [Shakardi Story]
Collection·Frozen Love】and Flower 5's【Carson Rick Horror Story·Undead Maria】. But unfortunately, the deck of cards was not on Oxenfurt at that time, and he would wait until Randall Valley
After the war, Oxenfurt Manor was seized by the church, so Shade was unable to obtain the spoils of war.
But now that I think about it, "Frozen Love" and "Immortal Maria" seem to have hinted at the ending of Shade and Oxenfurt's story from the very beginning.
"How about we use the most basic multiplayer game rules?"
Mr. Eric Foran suggested while shuffling the cards:
"There are a total of 3 rounds. The winner of each round is worth 2 points, the loser without busting a card is worth 1 point, and a busted card is worth 0 points. A draw will be considered the winner. After three rounds, the total points will be calculated. If the scores are the same, an additional game will be played.
wheel."
Shade smiled and nodded:
"Of course, no problem. I haven't played a multi-player card game for a long time. Then the person with the highest total score in the end will take the special card of the last person with the total score. The person with the second total score does not have to pay their own special card, but in
I have to check out after the card game."
He added, and of course the Fulen brothers nodded in agreement.
After the three of them shuffled the cards, they exchanged and checked the decks. The person who got the Shad deck was his younger brother Charles Fullan, who wore a monocle in his left eye. He looked at the special cards in the Shad deck in surprise:
"My God, at least half of these are special cards, right?"
Because he was playing cards as Shad Hamilton, Shad added all the special cards to his deck. He shook his head and said quite modestly:
"No half, there are only 26 special cards so far."
"The total deck is 54. In other words, if you beat us, you will have exactly half of your special cards."
Mr. Eric Foran said, and then saw his brother showing an even more surprised look:
"Oh, this card is..."
He saw the [Original Earth] card. Because the Prophet Association had just completed the appraisal of this card and the news had not spread yet, only a few people knew that another founding card had fallen into Shade's hands.
"Yes, it has been authenticated and it is genuine."
Shade said again with a natural expression, and Mr. Charles Fullan showed an expression of awe.
"What do you see?"
Mr. Eric Foran asked curiously, but his brother did not answer:
"If you're lucky, my brother, you'll be able to see it soon. I hope you won't be too surprised then. Mr. Hamilton, your deck is fine. This really opened my eyes. I think there must be many people."
Even if I spend money, I still want to see your deck, let alone touch it with my own hands."
He returned Shade's deck of cards to him.
The three gentlemen each took a sip of their own drinks. The sunshine in the suburbs at noon in early spring was very strong. I don't know whether it was because of the drinks or the upcoming card game. They all felt a little warm on their backs.
At this time, another group of police passed by the market path outside the Terrace Tavern. At the same time, well-informed people were spreading gossip in the market about the "assassination of the count" that had just occurred, but this had nothing to do with the gentlemen playing cards.
.
Both Mr. Fulan's decks had three special cards. After checking, the three decks were put on the table together. Then everyone pulled out the first card, covered it on the table, and then reached out and took out the second card.
cards, and then each checks the card's points.
"Speaking of..."
Shade lifted up the second card and saw that it was the Moon 9. Then he inserted the Moon 9 into the gap between the first dark card and the table. He picked up the first card and put it in front of his eyes. Move the moon carefully.
9, until the flower color is revealed. 9.
Flower 9, [Legend of the Brave·Bard Fletcher], when this card is drawn, if this card is the first card, it will have no effect. Therefore, the points of Shade's two cards are 18 points, and he knocked
He looked at the table to signal that he would stop trading, but he did not reveal his hidden cards:
"Mr. Fulan, what do you think of the Earl of Lewis? I heard that his reputation is not very good. There seemed to be people talking about him just now. Oh, I don't want you to say bad things about him behind his back. I just want to say something bad about him.
I'm curious. Did he have any opinion on me when we last met at the opera house? He didn't even shake my hand when I extended it."
Mr. Eric Foran and his brother drew the third card together, and said very cautiously:
"Some of the rumors are true. Well, most of them are true. I never like to speak ill of people behind their backs, but Earl Lewis... does have a big problem in the relationship between men and women.
. We all have to admit that he does have a good deal of political skills and is quite loyal to Kasenrik, so this time he led the team to visit the Pearl of the North. No one is perfect, it’s just that the earl has some serious shortcomings."
He chose to stop on the third card, while Mr. Charles Foran looked at his hand and still hesitated:
"My brother is right, and there is another point. Earl Lewis is very arrogant and has a natural prejudice against northerners. Please allow me to apologize to you on his behalf, Mr. Hamilton. He did not mean to target you, but...
.... I'm sorry to say it, but it's directed at all Delarians."
Shade smiled, and then Mr. Charles Foran also announced the suspension. The three of them revealed their trump cards together. Shade's was 9+9=18 points, and Mr. Eric Foran's was 8+5+5 which was also 18 points.
.And Mr. Charles Fullan, who was hesitating just now, is 10+1+6=17 points.
"Sure enough, I should take the risk and try again."
The gentleman wearing a monocle in his left eye sighed, then threw the three cards in his hand aside, and the three of them started the second round together.
"After the incident in Tobesk is over, are you going to return to Willendale City? The spring here is very beautiful. If you have time, it is definitely not a waste of time to stay and take a look."
Although the outsider has never seen the spring in Tobesk, he still suggested this.
Mr. Charles Fullan nodded and looked at the scenery of the market while taking the cards. The scenery outside the city in early spring is really beautiful:
"We have also heard about the spring scenery of the Pearl of the North. It is said that the city is filled with fog, but the sky outside the city is more charming than the blue paint mixed by the best painter. Look, the sky is this color now.
But it is a pity that we still have a mission. I think you also know that the negotiations in the Pantanal region are about to begin. After leaving Tobesk City, we will go directly to the border."
Now that the location of the negotiations between the two countries has been announced, this is not a secret topic.
"That's really a pity."
Shade looked at the two cards in his hand and drew a third card:
"I haven't been to Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City yet. It is said that the scenery there is also very good. I have seen photos of the legendary glass blast furnace in books. It is really spectacular."
"Glass blast furnace" is not a blast furnace made of glass, but a blast furnace that makes glass. "Michela Blast Furnace City" itself is world-famous for making glass products. The ancient blast furnace located in the city center is the symbol of that city.
"You must go and take a look when you have time. You can't tell much just by looking at the photos."
Mr. Eric Foran nodded and said, while Mr. Charles Foran did not draw the third card:
"Compared to Michaela Blast Furnace City, Green Lake City in Delarian is older, but its development status is worse. The two cities are so close to each other, but the situations are almost completely different. I really want to investigate
Let’s take a look at the kinship and economic and trade connections between the cities on both sides.”
The three of them stopped drawing cards, and Shade showed his hand with a smile:
"It seems that I got lucky this time. My third card is this. Sun 10, [Original Steam Engine Mark 9]. When you draw this card, if you already have at least two cards in your hand,
And if all the cards held are of the sun suit, the number of this card can be adjusted between 9 and 10."
The first two cards of Shade are Sun 5 and Sun 7 [Southern City Randall Valley]. The special rules of the latter require that there are cards with a score of 7 in the hand, so the activation conditions are not met:
"Adjust Sun 10 to Sun 9. In this way, my points are 9+5+7=21 points."
