"I don't know whether my luck tonight is good or bad. I never thought that one day I would drain the deck because of [Origin Time], but I never thought that even if I drained the deck, I would actually get 21 at once.
There was no collision at all, and even the king and queen actually sank to the bottom."
The masked man said this, looking at Shade's hand under the dim light of the kerosene lamp:
"you"
"You have to think carefully. If I am at 21 points now, then you can win unless the first two cards are king and queen. Otherwise, the single king and queen are less than 21 points."
Shade said this. The masked man thought about it and finally shook his head:
"No, this time I'm the only one who draws the cards again."
The masked man then lowered his head and looked at his deck:
"Shuffle the cards."
When there were only three cards left, he could definitely see the position of each card as long as he watched Shade shuffle the cards, so he turned around and asked Shade to shuffle the cards. After Shade announced that the cards were shuffled, he
Then he saw three non-overlapping playing cards placed in parallel on the table in front of him.
According to the rules of Rhodes, the first card is a hidden card and does not need to be shown to the opponent, so when the cards are drawn or dealt by the referee, two cards are drawn at once for the first time.
Under the current situation, the masked man must win if the first two cards are "King" and "Queen". Once [Origin·Time] exists, the game is over.
"If this card game can be announced, it will definitely be more eye-catching than the championship card game of the big city players. It is even possible that someone will still talk about this card game a hundred years later."
Faced with the card mask man's delay in taking action, Xia De also smiled and said:
"If this card game is announced, everyone will definitely think that you are cheating. [Origin Time] actually got it every time. Do you know how small the probability is?"
"People may also think you are cheating. When I drained the deck, [King] and [Queen] were actually the last two cards left."
As the masked man spoke, he selected two of the three. Shade reminded:
"Just now you always drew [Origin Time] in the first two cards, which gave you a lot of initiative. But if [Origin Time] is still among the first two cards this time, then it originally seemed
The time that helped you actually led to your ultimate failure."
"What you said is very similar to the predictions made by soothsayers."
He first turned over the card on his left. When the complicated card appeared, Shade knew it was the king.
[Fool's Story·Apostle of Time], King of Suits. In the center of the card is a huge tilted dial, and a man whose face cannot be seen clearly is running on the same tilted path in front of the dial.
[When you draw this card, you can choose to discard this card and draw it again.]
"Now that the king has been drawn, who would fold?"
Shade asked in confusion, but he also has a special card from the "Fool's Story" series, which is [Fool's Story·Thunder Strike Madman] from Flower 4.
"So this is the 'Fool's Story'. It is probably to match the effects of some special cards, which can turn the king into a king + queen or 21 points. I heard that in a set of special cards of the same series, many rules are complementary to each other.
."
The masked man said that he still had the possibility of winning, as long as the second card was. He turned over the card on the right, and the [Origin Time] that both of them were very familiar with appeared again in the dim kerosene.
In the light of the lights.
The masked man let out a long sigh. Even if he couldn't see his face, Shade could guess his expression at this time.
Both of them were silent for a while. The hundreds of cards scattered on the table, the two metal dice with the number 20 facing up, and the slightly swaying fire made the atmosphere at this time very subtle. Although Shade still remembered coming here.
What do you do, but you also admit that this card game is the most interesting thing tonight.
If possible, he actually wouldn't mind playing another round with the other party, but it would definitely not be today:
"I won."
Shade said:
"Actually, when you asked me to draw cards again in the middle of this round, I stopped playing under 19 several times. If you stopped the time loop during this period, it was actually possible to win several times. I
I understand that you want to activate the effect of the special card, but you are too obsessed with the power of time. You have the initiative in the time cycle, but you fail to understand that if the cycle continues, it will eventually end."
"Now I really suspect that you are a fortune teller. Are you sure when you will come to the time transfer station again?"
The masked man asked, and Shade nodded:
"Make sure, it's still the same as I said before, Tuesday night."
Shade said as he sorted out his deck of cards on the table and prepared to say goodbye. Although the card game was very good, he did not forget the banquet on the ship. He wanted to share the experience of this card game with Miss Bell. That girl
If you have the same interests as him, you will definitely understand the excitement of this card game.
"etc."
When Shade stood up, the masked man across the table who had been looking at the messy tabletop as if in a daze suddenly said, and pointed at the tabletop:
"Choose one."
"What?"
"In addition to [Origin·Time], choose a special card in my deck as a souvenir of this card game. Although the bet agreed in advance does not include my special card, this card game will be played
At this point, you deserve a special card."
Since he said this, Xia De would certainly not be polite.
In addition to choosing special cards that conform to his aesthetics, the most important thing is of course that they must not duplicate the suit points of his existing special rules cards.
Of course, the King's suit [Fool's Story·Apostle of Time] does not overlap with Shade's deck. After all, Shade's only queen is a special card [History of the New World·Pioneering Wind].
However, he didn't like the card [Fool's Story·Time Apostle]. He didn't like it in every aspect, not to mention that the masked man just lost when he held this card. Shade thought this was a hint.
So he picked and picked, and finally chose the [Firearm: Merkle Double-barreled Shotgun] from the 2nd suit of stars.
The masked man had no objection to this, so Shade finished picking out the cards and left.
Facing the silver-white city under the moonlit night, Xia De let out a sigh of relief after leaving the gate of the Time Transfer Station and returning to the alley. He was actually in a good mood after playing such an exciting card game for a long time. He just looked down.
Xiang held the card in his hand, and he had some suspicion that the other party wanted to use it to track his identity.
However, after he left the place, he checked many times but found no clues. Finally, he wrote his name on the card, then turned into a cat and ran out of the city on the snow on the roofs of the city.
When Shade returned to the Radiant Messenger, the welcome banquet was already over, but Luvia and Flora did leave him a sweet dessert, which was guarded by the loyal cat at this time.
Little Mia circled left and right around the small piece of cake decorated with strawberries on the banquet hall table, swaying her tail back and forth, seemingly not letting anyone get close to her.
And when it saw Shade coming, it immediately meowed. This made Shade feel that it was not guarding the cake, but was simply waiting for Shade to come back and feed it.
It was getting late, so Shade didn't really bother Miss Bell. As for Miss Olanode, who had just arrived here, the maids had already prepared a room for the ancient witch in the Accordion Hotel. Shade originally wanted to
Talk to her again and ask her if she needs anything else. But when she knocks on the door and goes in, she finds that Miss Denister is also here.
The red-haired girl seemed to have been here for a while. The two of them should have been talking before Shade came in, but they both kept their mouths shut after Shade came in.
"Shade, what's the matter?"
Because it was time to take a break, Miss Olanold had taken off her silver hair accessories, and her yellow hair was spread behind her, making her look even more charming.
"Do you need anything else here? If your accommodation is uncomfortable or if you are missing something, I can arrange it. The living environment here may not be as good as that of the Radiant Messenger, but because this generation of Witch Council Speaker is coming, we all need it.
Avoid it.”
He stood at the door and was too embarrassed to go in, so the Moon Witch smiled and shook her head:
"It's very nice here. I also stayed on the Radiant Messenger back then, and I'm not very curious about it. And don't you also live in this hotel?"
So Miss Elisa's experience in the fifth era is really curious.
"Xia De, we are discussing some academic issues. If nothing happens, you can go and have a rest."
The red-haired girl said again at this time, and Shade nodded:
"I'll go talk to Emilia again, and I won't be here for a while. Good night, ladies."
"Good night, Shade."×2
Although Emilia came back in the evening, Shade never found a chance to talk to her alone. It was already dark now, and Shade didn't want to catch the elf and ask her about her experience in the fifth era until later.
It's midnight, so I went to see Emilia now just to say hello to her, and I'll ask other questions tomorrow.
After all, he also felt that he had neglected Emilia.
Luvia actually planned to find out what Emilia had learned from the past tonight, but after being persuaded by Shade, she agreed to let the elf rest first.
When Shade entered Emilia's room, he found that Agelina was also here. The two were chattering and holding a robe in front of the floor-length mirror. After seeing Shade, they immediately hid the robe.
Got up.
However, the open suitcase on the ground has not yet been closed, and there are many clothes that Emilia brought back from the Fifth Era. The fashion of that era was obviously very different from today.
