After entering the distant ocean, the world becomes quiet.
During daily sailing, there is no other sound except the monotonous echo of the sails and propellers.
Elves are different from humans in that they tend to be quieter in character. It is rare to encounter people who shout and talk loudly on the airship. They only occasionally chat in the hall or play music to pass the time.
In the corner of the hall, a square table is surrounded by many elves. In order to pass the time, a card battle game is currently being played on the table.
"I summoned the 'Forest Guards' 6/4, and based on the special effects of the appearance, I summoned two more 'Forest Guards' 6/4, and then used the magic circle card 'The Forbidden Forest that no one can penetrate' to let everyone on the field
The minion gains the ability to be immune to spell damage and cannot be targeted by spells or special effects, and also gains +1/+1."
On one side of the card table, Princess Etesi confidently pulled out the cards and placed them on the table.
The golden frame is painted with entangled green vines. In the foggy jungle, elite elves holding thin swords and short bows are flying. There are dark green paintings on their cheeks, making them look ghostly and eerie.
fear.
This card is based on the elite troops who guarded the World Tree in the First Era. They appeared in the jungle and attacked many foreign enemies who dared to spy on the World Tree.
"That's amazing, Her Royal Highness Princess Etesi." The elves watching from the side whispered when they saw the "big scene" on the table.
"It's probably going to be difficult for the opponent to clear out the situation now, and the situation will snowball." Another elf analyzed.
But at this moment, the ice-blue haired elf sitting opposite Etesi didn't panic.
Erin looked at the cards in her hand, pondered for a while, and finally played one of them.
"Use the spell card 'Call of the Ice' to summon two 3/2 'Direwolves', and then play the 1/3 'Excellent Ice Wither' to turn a follower on the field into a 2/4'
Transparent water-colored ice withered'." Then she placed a card on the table again.
"Finally, use the spell card, 'Happy Luminous Festival'. When there are three ice and snow followers on the field with different life attacks and different names, the ice and snow followers on the field will gain +4/+3.
, you can attack directly in the current round, and then at the end of the next round, all the ice and snow attributes followers on the field will disappear."
After she finished speaking, she put down a card. In the ice blue frame, there was a dark sky and sea. Countless colored light spots floated from the sea surface and floated into the air. Below, there were many ice elves and monsters cheering and looking into the distance.
This beautiful night view.
Then Irene commanded three followers to attack the three 'Forest Guards' on the scene of Atesi. After exchanging damage, both sides had no followers on the field.
"Humph, it's just that, it's up to me." Etesi was not surprised by this. Irene had accumulated 8 cards in her hand before, so she must have a way to deal with it, but what's next.
"I play 1/1 'Sleeping Wind Fairy Sylph', and then use the trial to advance!" As she said this, she took out the extra deck prepared aside.
“Let’s advance ‘Sleeping Wind Fairy Sylph’ to 2/2 ‘Playing Wind Fairy Sylph’, but it’s not over yet, Sylph will continue to advance.”
As she said this, she took out in turn the 'Wind Fairy Sylph who plays the flute', 'The Horn of Guidance Sylph', 'The Great Fairy Sylph in the Paradise', 'The Chanting Dream Fairy Sylph' and 'The Wind-Holding Sylph'.
Fairy Queen Sylph'The Eternal Figure in Myth Sylph'
Finally, an extremely bright card was unfolded on the table. The white border was wrapped with gold and green flowers and leaves. In it was a golden land of blooming flowers. The back of a fairy stood among it. She raised one hand lightly,
Countless golden petals are scattered around the world.
"Seeing this card, I think you also know what happens next. Yes, it is a special effect that can only be activated by mythical fairies. Choose one of the seven movements to use. This effect can only be used in each battle.
Once, it cannot be copied and reproduced."
"As Sylph, you can choose either 'The Fourth Movement: The Brilliant Golden Heroes' or the 'Fifth Movement: The Nostalgic Midsummer Fragrance'."
"Then my choice is 'Fourth Movement: Brilliant Golden Heroes'!"
"When this card is activated, the cost of all cards in the deck and hand will be reduced by 4, and all follower cards will gain +4/+4, and the spell card will gain the effect of 'restoring 4 points of life to the main combatant'."
"After subtracting the cost, I summoned the three followers of 'Elven Dancer in Costume', 'Silver Elf Lancer' and 'Girl Controlling the Holy Beast' without any consumption, and then used the spell card 'Nectar of the World Tree' without any consumption to restore
3 points of life, draw 3 cards."
A card with a golden border was played. There were branches with bright green leaves and gold leaves. A drop of water slipped from the tip of the leaf and was caught by a hand below.
"Because of the gorgeous golden heroes effect, 4 more points of life will be restored when the spell card is used."
After drawing three cards, the smile on Atesi's face became even wider.
"I originally wanted to wait for another round, but it seems I don't have to wait anymore."
"Use the spell card 'Poetry of Leaves·Chapter 2 Galloping Wind' to allow the followers on the field to gain 'Ride', that is, they can attack the main battler during the turn they appear."
So the referee at the table drew a horizontal line on Irene's count card, and finally returned it to zero, which represented Etesi's victory.
"Huh, it's not easy. I finally defeated Irene this time, hehe." After the victory, Etesi stretched out and stood up happily.
In the past few days, since she learned this card game, she has been playing against Irene, but she always loses. Only this time she won.
"The new mechanism of the trial is really interesting." The elves on the side sighed after the battle.
The card game that Erin and Atesi played just now was an advanced version of the game that Lorraine Hill played with her friends at Fengano's house a few years ago. Now it has been expanded with many new cards, not only powerful witch cards, but also
There are also some powerful characters from past history, such as the mythical fairies of the First Era, various giants from the Court of Giants, and even some powerful dragons in legends.
The joint system has also added some new mechanisms, such as 'trial', that is, each follower on the field can gain trial points for the opponent after three situations: 'end of round', 'attack once' and 'resist once'.
The accumulation of trial points can allow the followers to advance, become more powerful, and have some new effects and abilities. (The points required for each level of advancement are different, and some followers have more advanced branches)
The advantage of this is to balance some self-limited decks, which use spell cards to delay time and cause a poor experience, and to pay more attention to the battle and exchange on the scene, making the game more rich and interesting.
After the game was over, Erin gave up her seat and looked around, "Does anyone want to continue playing?"
At present, many people in the Elf Envoy have played this type of card game, and the level is actually not much different, but some people are special, such as Irene, who is particularly good at using ice and snow system decks.
The handyness mentioned here does not mean how superb your skills are, but it means that you can often get the key cards you want at the right time without getting stuck.
As a result, it often happens that the deck is obviously the same, but some people are more powerful. Maybe this is the so-called compatibility.
Etesi is particularly comfortable and smooth when using the system related to the World Tree, but if she switches to the system related to the Dragon Sequence, her card luck is very poor, and she always gets stuck and self-destructs.
"I feel like I can't beat Her Highness Etesi."
"Indeed, every time Princess Atesi uses the World Tree deck, it will be particularly strong. Except for Irene, basically no one can beat it."
"Last time, I used the Burning System of the Giant King's Court deck to burn His Highness's key circle card twice, but in the end I still let her draw the last key card and turn defeat into victory."
Some elves were talking about the results of the recent battle, and Artisi was a little disappointed when no one showed up. It seemed like there was nothing to play for today.
But when a girl holding a book walked by, the elf princess's eyes lit up.
"Luna, do you want to come over and play a card game?"
After finishing speaking, the girl in purple and white dress stopped and shook her head slightly.
"I also want to ask Sister Jialan for tutoring, but I'm afraid I don't have time."
"That's it." Etesi lay down slightly disappointed.
Luna is a human and does not live as long as an elf, so she naturally has to seize the time to improve many things.
"Wait." Suddenly, she remembered something.
"What knowledge are you looking for to learn from Jia Lan?"
"It's about advancement. I have to make relevant preparations recently." Luna explained quietly.
"Luna is the Undead Sequence 7, right?"
"Yes." After saying that, some elves in the field were surprised by the talent of this human girl. You must know that even among forest elves, those with Sequence 7 and above are very rare nowadays.
"It's very fast. The progress has caught up with mine." Now Aitexi is also in a perfect state of Sequence 7.
"But I can tell you some secret techniques passed down only by forest elves, which can be used even in the undead sequence." Etesi said and winked.
"As long as you can beat me in the game."
"Alas...this..." After hearing this, Luna hesitated. In any case, as an elf princess, Etesi's knowledge and secret skills must be rare in the outside world, and she missed this opportunity...
"Then promise her to give it a try." At this time, another girl with light green hair came from the corner of the hall.
Lorraine Hill came to Luna's side and gently pressed her shoulder to stop her from worrying.
"Sister Etesi does know a lot of things. You will get tired easily if you study every day. Please relax today."
"Sister Jialan said so..." Luna murmured and hesitated for a few seconds, then sat down amid everyone's encouragement and smiles, picked up the cards on the table, selected and looked at them.
In fact, Luna had been exposed to and played this card game when she was in school. After all, this card game first became popular in Emenas.
It’s just that I haven’t played it for a while, so I need to learn about some new cards and mechanisms.
A few minutes later, Luna assembled her deck, and then the intense battle began.
Luna uses a Necromancer sequence deck. She is good at using ghosts. Many followers are also related to ghosts. They can attack when they enter the field and can penetrate followers with guardian effects. However, their weakness is low blood volume and two turns at the same time.
then disappear automatically.
Although Artisi's mythical elf deck is powerful in the later stage, it is not very strong in the early stage. Under Luna's fierce attack to steal blood in the early stage, it soon became dangerous.
"I summon the 5/4 'Ghost Knight of the Castle', and then use the trial points to advance."
On the side of the card table, Luna took out a card with a purple border. On the card was a lonely and dark castle. A knight in black armor and a black horse was walking slowly on the mountain road under the moonlight. He was holding a lance.
And a shield with withered silver roses on it, and the cloak behind it is also in tatters.
"This follower is upgraded to 7/5 'Headless Horseman of City Gate Bridge', which comes with four special effects: death, gallop, penetration, and blood-sucking."
After finishing speaking, a brand new card replaced the previous ghost knight. On the card, there was a knight holding a halberd. He stood in front of the bridge on a tall skeletal horse. Behind him was a deep mountain road leading to
The mansion in the castle was dimly lit with orange lights, and a few crows flew out of the mansion.
"The Headless Horseman ignores the 'Jungle Guards' with protective effects and directly attacks the main combatant. At the same time, he sucks blood when attacking to restore life."
"Now just with the minions on the field, Artisi will not be able to kill Luna in the next round, and Artisi only has 3 points of health left. If Luna uses any attack method next round, she will
Lost." Several spectators described the scene.
"This is very disadvantageous. Even if Artisi uses Sylph, she currently cannot advance to the mythical fairy stage. If she wastes trial points, she will have no chance next time."
"Let's see how she decides, whether to survive this round or take a risk."
Etesi pondered in the crowd's words. She was actually hesitating, but after a few seconds of decision-making, she decided to use the trump card.
"Summon the 'Sleeping Wind Fairy Sylph' and use the trial points to advance!"
Then, this initially weak follower began to change step by step, and finally settled in the stage of 'Fairy Queen Sylph holding the wind', one step away from the mythical fairy.
Under the tall World Tree, all kinds of fairies and elves gathered together, and in the center where they were singing and dancing together, a fairy wearing a gold silk crown and a long dress of green leaves and gold flowers sat on a branch.
, she closed her eyes slightly, raised her arms slightly, and the light-colored air flow flew around her side, carrying leaves and petals to the distant sky.
“When ‘Wind-wielding Fairy Queen Sylph’ enters the field, the main combatant gains the permanent effect of ‘recovering three points of life every round’, and at the same time, one point of cost is restored when using Fairy series cards.”
"Then I will use three more cards, 'Spring Breeze Fairy', 'Fire Fairy' and 'Qingquan Fairy'. Because of Sylph's effect, each card will recover a little cost when used. Then I will use 'Fairy's Cantata'. All fairies in the series
The follower gets +1/+1, and draws as many cards as the fairies on the field."
It depends on this time, if you can draw a card with galloping effect, Etesi thought silently in her heart.
Finally, an excited smile appeared on her face.
"Summon 3/2 'Elves Wielding Blood Blades'. When there are more than five elf followers in the graveyard, a special effect will be activated, giving the followers gallop and +1/+0."
"Then, let the 'Jungle Guards' and 'Elf Wielding Blood Blades' attack, and then Luna's life will return to zero."
Therefore, our Elf Princess won this duel.
"I'm sorry, Sister Jialan, I didn't win." After losing the game, Luna looked at Lorraine Hill beside her with a slightly apologetic look, feeling that she had not seized the opportunity.
"It's nothing, Your Highness Artisi is indeed very powerful." Lorraine Hill shook his head and said that he didn't need to worry about it.
At this time, Etesi took advantage of the excitement of winning and finally invited Lorraine Hill.
"Then Jia Lan, why don't you come and play a game? What I said before is true. If you win, I can also teach Luna."
"That's it." Lorraine Hill thought thoughtfully.
"Then can I use an angel sequence deck?"
"Hey, are there any restrictions on this? Of course it's okay." Etesi asked puzzledly.
"Well, it's nothing." After saying this, Lorraine Hill and Luna exchanged unknowns and sat at the table.
In fact, when she was in Hopeland, she later played with several other people, and they didn't let Lorraine Hill use the Angel sequence deck.
"You're so naughty, Sister Lorraine, we can't defeat her at all." Ye Ling hugged Lorraine Hill and complained like a coquettish girl.
Not only that time, but even when they were reunited in the East, Bu Mansha started to ask her to ban the Angel sequence deck after playing with her several times.
"Loraan needs to consider our feelings. It's not good to cheat like this." The neighbor sister made a rare protest, and then the two sides made another bet on who would cook dinner tonight.
After both parties sat down, Xia Li, as the referee, announced that the game had begun.
"Then, in the first round, I put down the 'Angel's Prayer' array card, and after two turns, I drew an 'Angel's Advent Ceremony' from the deck into my hand." Lorraine Hill put down his first card.
In a stone church in the countryside, a nun closed her eyes and prayed, while the sunlight slanted quietly on her hair, and the metal double-winged badge in front of her body glowed faintly.
