Because Tiandis's malicious speculation seriously insulted her dignity as an ethical independent game producer, Alice decided to put her at the top of her list of most hated enemies and vowed that she would never have any
Come on, we must knock this guy down until he kneels down!
But if you want to do this, you have to rely on Gloria.
"Hmm..."
Her Highness the Third Princess slowly opened her eyes. Although her expression was still a little confused, it was much better than before: "I roughly understand these rules. Use card duels to win by reducing the opponent's basic points. It's true.
It’s so novel, it’s like magic from another dimension.”
That's what it is.
Everyone except Alice thinks so.
It's not magic!
Alice silently retorted: This is a game, not magic! As for why game consoles and cartridges changed from simple entertainment products to powerful props that can change the rules after they were brought to the other world, how could she know? It must be a game
What the company did!
"However," Gloria raised her hands, looked at the empty palms, and wondered: "Since the outcome is determined by a card duel, what about the cards as key props?"
Hum hum!
Now you've asked the right person. Alice snorted twice and was about to give it a try and let Her Royal Highness the Third Princess guess. When she couldn't guess, she would appear on stage again, answer questions and doubts, and gain a wave of admiration. But
At this time, the duelist on the opposite side suddenly chuckled and said, "Is that so?"
She stretched out her left hand to the side, and the cold wind blowing from nowhere lifted up the hem of her dark skirt, like a solemn and open ink flower under the silver moonlight. She softly uttered an unknown word in her mouth: "Duel"
!”
As the words fell, the full moon hanging high in the night sky began to ripple in circles. The bright moonlight gurgled down like tangible water, converging on the slender but straight arm, gradually outlining a crescent moon.
It looks like, and near the wrist, the moonlight is sunken inward into a square slot. Cards with a dark vortex on the back fly out from the still flowing moonlight vortex and are automatically loaded into this
In the slot, a deck of exactly forty cards was quickly gathered.
Tiandis casually pulled out the top card of the deck, took a look at it, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his lips: "Is it the Alien Philosopher deck? It seems that the theme of the deck is the embodiment of the duelist's inner thoughts.
Modern, to be honest, I quite like this name."
"Ah this!" Seeing Tiandis summoning the duel disk and card deck so easily, Alice couldn't help but be stunned: Are you a time traveler or am I a time traveler? Could it be that you were peeping next to me when I was making the game?
"So that's it."
Gloria nodded thoughtfully. With Tiandis's demonstration, she didn't have to pay attention to someone who was being mysterious. She just followed the example, stretched out her left hand to the side, and said slowly
Said: "Duel."
As soon as the words fell, wisps of gray mist separated from the platform under the girl's feet. Like hazy tentacles, they silently stretched around the girl's ankles, around her waist, and wrapped around her left hand in just a blink of an eye.
In just a few seconds, the appearance of a gorgeous and exquisite new leaf-shaped duel disk was sketched out. However, the mist that formed the duel disk was not fixed and was still squirming and surging, as if it could change its shape at any time.
In the erratic mist, cards flew out one by one like black snowflakes, flying up and down around Gloria, forming a strange scene. But soon these cards were merged into the duel plate one by one.
After all the forty cards are in place in the slot, the deck used by Gloria has taken shape.
The Third Princess followed Tiandis's example and took out the top card and took a look. She saw a familiar image depicted on the card: a detective girl sitting with a backlight, wearing a monocle and a gray deerstalker hat.
With a gray and black plaid cloak and an unlit pipe in her mouth, she looked at the guests in front of her with a smile in a room full of clutter. Her smile looked full of confidence and tinged with emotion.
It has a mysterious meaning that leaves a deep impression on people just by looking at it, and will never be forgotten.
[Detective Gloria and her assistant Peanut/Light/1 star/Effect]
[Attack 0/Defense 1200]
[This card is also regarded as a "Girl's Sovereign" monster according to the rules. The effect of this card name can only be used once per turn. Discard this card from your hand and select a "Girl's Queen" from your deck, graveyard or excluded area.
"Psychic King Gloria" is added to your hand. The turn this effect is activated, you can only Special Summon monsters with level 4 or 8.】
So, there is no doubt that this is -
"Girl's Sovereignty Deck?"
Gloria looked at the detective girl on the card with a thoughtful expression, but she quickly regained her composure, silently put the card back into the deck, and looked up at Tiandi opposite
Si, coincidentally, Tiandis was also looking at her. Maybe she had been waiting for the moment when Gloria was ready, because that meant——
"Duel," the black-haired girl raised the crescent-shaped duel disk in her hand, her long black hair fluttering gracefully in the night wind, and said with a slight smile: "Can we start, Miss Gloria?"
"Although I want to say that I'm not completely ready yet, the stage is ready and the atmosphere is just right. It's a bit unflattering to say that, right?" Gloria also smiled and raised the new leaf in her hand.
Her long gray hair and skirt of the same color were also fluttering in the night wind, but she gave people a feeling of elegance and nobility, worthy of being the third princess of the Kingdom of Great Brita: "So my answer
Yes: I’m here for you at any time, Miss Tiantis.”
"In that case."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tiandis slowly bent his straight arm, and the duel plate was level with his chest. In the deck slot, cards were automatically shuffled and issued one by one.
The sound of swiping suddenly returned to calm, and Gloria also made the same move. The next moment, the two of them uttered the word that symbolized the start of the duel at the same time:
"Duel!"
"Duel!"
…
【Tiandis LP:8000】
【Gloria LP:8000】
"I am barely the master, and it would be rude to argue with the guests, so it is up to you to attack first, Miss Gloria."
After both sides drew the initial five cards from their hands, Tiandis was very polite and gave the initiative to the guests. Although in a sense, Her Royal Highnesses, the three princesses of the Victoria royal family, were the masters in the capital city of Lunweiting, but for some reason
, Gloria did not refute this sentence, silently nodded in recognition, and then pinched a card in her hand with her fingers. When she was about to activate her effect, Alice's voice came in her mind:
"No, no, Gloria, don't take the initiative, return it quickly!"
Her voice sounded anxious, and Gloria couldn't help but stop her fingers. She asked with some confusion: "Why, Miss Alice? According to the rules, shouldn't it be more advantageous for the duelist to attack first?"
"
After all, monsters can be summoned first, and the trap cards set can also be activated during the opponent's turn.
"Oh, it's hard for me to explain to you. Rules are rules, and metaphysics is metaphysics. Do you understand?" Alice was talking nonsense, which made people confused: "You only need to know that in the history of duels, the villain who attacked first rarely faced the protagonist.
As long as we all lose, we are the protagonist now, and the opponent is the villain, so we have to let the opponent attack first, so that our winning rate is guaranteed to be 50%, do you understand?"
Is there any other way to say this?
It doesn't sound very reliable. Is it really worth it to give up the advantage at the beginning of the duel to the opponent for the sake of so-called metaphysics?
Gloria didn't really believe in Alice's metaphysics, but the genius player was very determined and refused to give in on this point. Her Royal Highness the Third Princess thought about it and felt that she was the game producer after all, and her understanding of the game must be
Above herself, since she was so insistent, there must be some reason, so she chose to obey.
She took back the hand holding the card and shook her head regretfully at her opponent: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Tiandis, but I think I'll give you the first attack."
"That's right, that's it!" Alice pointed out the situation in her mind excitedly: "Tell her that I respect your strength and want to fight you fairly, but don't let her know the real reason."
Ringer in my mind & other spirits behind it: "..."
Ai-chan seems to have forgotten that Tiandis can actually hear her voice.
"So there is such a thing?" the leader of the witch association said with great interest: "The curse of losing first if you attack first sounds quite interesting."
Oops!
Ai-chan secretly thought that something was wrong, and her opponent discovered her plan. Now she would definitely not accept the first attack, so what should she do? Do they need to play guessing games to compete for the second attack?
"Although it's interesting, I don't believe this statement." Tiandis changed the subject and said: "Whether it's curses or metaphysics, they are all illusory things. The outcome of the duel may partly depend on luck, but
More depends on your strategy and planning. Only the brave ones who are not afraid of challenges and have the courage to face reality can see the smile of the goddess of victory."
"Let me prove it, Miss Alice."
She smiled softly, then took out a card from her hand, held it with her index and middle fingers, showed it to Gloria, and said loudly: "Then, my first attack is to normally summon the [Alien Philosopher] in my hand.
—Dante in Literary Thoughts].”
She gently pressed the monster card in her hand on the blank area of the duel disk, and then, with a burst of intense white light, the originally calm river suddenly rolled up into a whirlpool on the broad Tewil River in the center of the duel platform, and the whirlpool and white light intertwined.
, a young man wearing a white robe, holding a quill and a white paper, with a gentle and elegant temperament slowly walked out of the light. He had short silver-gray curly hair, his appearance was not outstanding but he had a calm temperament, gray
There is a deep wisdom in his eyes, as if he can see through all the mysteries of the world.
"It's really you, Callus... No, I should call you Dante now." Tiandis stood at the top of the bridge, looking down at his former friends, companions and comrades-in-arms, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
Very pleased: "Although it is just an illusion, I have to say that I am very happy to be able to fight side by side with you again."
The young man standing on the river did not speak, but seemed to have his own consciousness. He turned around and bent slightly, bowed to the leader on the bridge, and expressed in a silent manner: This is also an honor for me.
"Then, Dante, just like before, use your wisdom to help me win." Tiandis raised his hand: "Activate Dante's effect, I will use a [Alien Philosopher - Martin Road of Divine Dawn]
[Each of the 12 effects of this card name can only be used once per turn. 1 When this card is successfully summoned, add an "Alien Philosopher" monster from the deck to your hand. After this effect is activated, it will last until the end of the next turn.
Until now, you can only specialize the "Alien Philosopher" monster.】
The young man named Dante smiled slightly, then opened the white paper in his hand and wrote something quickly on the blank paper with a quill. When the last line of elegant fonts flowed out from the tip of his pen, he reached out and tore off the paper.
She pulled out a piece of paper, gently released her hand, and the paper flew up lightly, fell into Tiandis's hands, and turned into a card, which was the [Alien Philosopher - Martin Luther of Dawn] that she had just retrieved.
After adding the retrieved cards to his hand, Tiantis inserted two more cards into the magic trap area under the duel plate and wrote lightly: "Then, I cover the two cards and the round ends."
Two huge covered cards appeared on the river, flashed for a while and then disappeared.
"Calling a monster, searching for a card, covering two cards, it's a very ordinary expansion." Behind the scenes, Alice commented: "It seems that the opponent is just a third-rate duelist with a fourth-rate deck.
It doesn’t pose much of a threat.”
When she said this, she forgot that the other party could actually hear her words, or maybe she didn't forget, but she said it deliberately with knowledge, in order to undermine her opponent's self-confidence?
"Hahaha." Butantis didn't look shocked at all, and said with a hearty smile: "Don't underestimate Dante, Miss Alice, as my former comrade and companion, the philosopher who once changed the world
One, he has a very powerful effect, if you underestimate him, you may suffer a big loss."
"That's right, Alice, you can't underestimate him!" In Gloria's mind, another spirit behind the scenes, Oveira, also echoed: "That's Dante, one of the four sages of the Renaissance.
Dante, who wrote the "Divine Comedy", is a world-renowned great writer? Gloria, don't listen to Alice, you must pay attention to it!"
Although she now knows that Dante is actually a historical figure from another world, and "The Divine Comedy" is also a literary work from another world, but since the other party can inherit this code name, become the philosopher of the Witch Association, and leave a mark in the history of the Mirror Star World,
The name and records show that he is not an ordinary person, so it is better to be cautious.
"That's also an enemy." Alice was a little dissatisfied when she heard this: "Who are you talking about for, Olvera?"
"Woo!" Princess Beimang was scolded by her and hesitated: "I, I'm just reminding you, Alice, forget it if you don't listen..."
