Chapter 2580 Teacher's praise and full-strength card player

Even the loyal witch apprentice couldn't help looking at her teacher when faced with such temptation.

Miss Winslet has been paying attention to the conversation between the two. Although she doesn't play cards much, she also knows the great reputation of the "Founding Series". She is very considerate of her apprentice:

"Charlotte, then you play a game with Shade. If you win, you can temporarily keep this card for him. If you lose, I will give the "Legendary Player" some other prizes. I can add one more oil painting that I promised to paint for him."

"No, Miss, how can I let you help me bet? Please let me bet with my special cards!"

Miss Bell said immediately, and her tone was full of energy at this time, without any gentleness that she had always had.

Miss Winslet pretended to be angry:

"Is my painting less valuable than your playing cards? Charlotte, I'm the boss here, and I don't need your cards."

Then she looked at Miss Danister:

"Just treat it as an entertainment tonight, do you want to guess who will win?"

The red-haired girl smiled and shook her head, because there was no need to guess.

The card game was played on the sofa, with Shade and Miss Bell sitting on the short sofas at both ends of the coffee table, and the other two ladies sitting on the long sofa as referees.

The card game adopted the most classic point system, with a total of three rounds, scoring according to 1 point for winning, 0 points for losing, and -1 point for busting. This requires that you try not to bust during the game.

When the two exchanged decks and shuffled them, Shade also stated in advance:

"I have 38 special rule cards in my current deck. If you think this is unfair, I can take out some of the special cards and keep only the founding series."

Since the number of special rule cards in the deck exceeded 30, Shade has never used a "full" deck to play cards with others, even in Tobesk's spare time.

Miss Bell looked down at Shade's deck in her hand and was stunned for a moment, then shook her head quickly and "grabbed" the deck from Shade:

"Keep all the special cards. I want to try my deck, which has a total of six special cards including [Legend of Race·Elf]."

After both parties shuffled the cards, the game officially began. The decks of the two were fanned out on the coffee table, and then they each took out their first two cards.

"By the way, what does Carina think of your playing cards?"

The witch on the side asked Shade curiously.

"I don't smoke or drink. My hobbies are just raising cats and playing cards occasionally. She doesn't have any opinions. Carina often says that my life is too monotonous, but I really don't like other things."

Shad looked at the open card in his hand-

[Phantom Opera House·Silent Audience], suit: Moon 12. If the previous card is also the Moon suit when this card is drawn, all players except himself are forced to stop playing in this round.

He showed the card to the girl across the table, and then inserted the card into the gap between the first hidden card and the coffee table.

"Don't you like opera and concerts? Or horse racing, salons, banquets? Look at your face and perfect figure. Even if the noble girls of Tobesk know that you are Carina's lover, they must have slipped you notes. Oh, you received a handkerchief or underwear at the banquet."

The witch teased, and was patted by the red-haired girl.

"I prefer reading at home at night to banquets."

Shad said as he picked up his first hidden card and showed the card with the black-robed man facing the bubble in the boundless sea of ​​stars:

"Sorry, [Origin·Space], suit: Moon 10.

After drawing this card until the suspension phase, you can choose whether to activate the effect only once: toss a coin, if it is heads, let the opponent discard the first card and the last card at this time, and draw a new card; if it is tails, exchange your first card with any non-moon suit card shown by the opponent."

Miss Bell covered her mouth, and the black-haired girl looked at the card with wide eyes, with an inexplicable blush on her face:

"This is really"

"Shad, 12+10=22, you burst the card."

The red-haired girl reminded, and Shad nodded with a smile:

"But isn't there a rule to activate? I choose to activate the effect of [Origin·Space]."

He looked at the hand of Miss Charlotte Bell opposite, the hidden card had not been shown yet, and the open card was the ordinary card Sun 9.

So he took out a coin from his pocket, threw it casually, caught it, and then showed the result of the coin facing up.

"Exchange my first card with Miss Bell's Sun 9."

He handed over the cards, and the girl with a trembling right hand took the [Genesis·Space] and handed over her own Sun 9.

"I am now 9+12=21 points, stand. Miss Bell, according to the rules of [Phantom Opera·Silent Audience], you must also stand now. What are your points?"

"I lost."

She showed the hidden card with the suit of "Star 7", and her eyes were still fixed on the [Genesis·Space] that Shade exchanged to her.

Miss Winslet on the side shook her head, as if she regretted that the first round ended so quickly:

"Shade, you said you only like to read books at night? Is this because your teacher is here, so you want to show yourself?"

"Shade is indeed very hardworking."

The red-haired girl sitting next to her helped Shade to defend:

"Shad is an outstanding student of the college. He won the college's 'Feliana Medal' at the end of last year. He is not only talented but also very hardworking. I know this better than anyone else."

Miss Winslet turned her head slightly while holding the teacup and looked at her:

"So your conclusion is that your student is a kind of ascetic character?"

Miss Danister wanted to nod, but thinking of Shad's complicated emotional life, she had to admit:

"The only difference between him and an ascetic is that he has almost no resistance to beautiful girls."

Miss Winslet thought she was talking about Cavendish, but in fact she was talking about Cavendishes.

At the beginning of the second round, Shad and Miss Bell drew cards again. Of course, [Genesis·Space] was still in Miss Bell's hand at this time. She wanted to wait until the game was over before returning it to Shad.

Shad's open card was a common card "Star 2". He took a look at the hidden card and it was also a star suit:

[Big City Player·1853 Tobesk Champion], suit: Star 12. When you draw this card, you have the right to view the opponent's hidden card that has not been turned over.

After thinking for a while, Shade showed this card:

"I have 12+2=14 points now."

Miss Bell stared at the "Champion Card" again, and then showed her two cards:

"Sun 13 and Flower 6, 19 points, I'm on hold."

"Then do you want to continue drawing cards?"

The witch holding the teacup asked Shade, and Shade nodded:

"Continue drawing cards, I'm still adventurous [Origin·Knowledge], Suit: Flower 1."

He showed his third card, the rules of this card are extremely complicated:

"According to the number of cards in your hand when this card is drawn, the effect will be activated, This is the third card, so I activate effect 3: You can choose whether to force the opponent's total points to be reduced by 3. I choose yes. My total points are now 12+2+1=15 points. "

Miss Bell looked at the card, and after getting permission, she took it in her hand and carefully observed it for a moment:

"I am now 19-3=16 points."

"You are still in the stop phase, I choose to continue drawing cards."

As she said that, she took the next card, and after opening it, she laughed:

"[Life Ceremony·Wedding], Suit: Flower 5. Throw two 20-sided dice. If the difference in numbers is less than or equal to 2, you can change the card points between Adjust between 4 and 5.

I don't need to roll the dice, after all, I win no matter what the result is, it's just the difference between 19 and 20 points. ”

Miss Bell pursed her lips and nodded, then looked at the two "Founding Series" cards in her hand:

"In this way, your points have reached two points. In the next round, unless you burst the card at the beginning -1 point, I will lose anyway unless I don't burst the card at the beginning. ”

"So there are too many special cards in the deck, even if most of the special rules of the cards are strictly triggered, it will still make the game very boring. ”

Shad said and went to touch the cards again, but he didn't expect that the The witch apprentice looked at him seriously and shook her head:

"It's not boring at all, Mr. Hamilton. This is the most interesting card game I have ever experienced.

For ordinary players like us, it is a dream to play a card game with you even with only one card from the founding series, not to mention playing against your full deck.

It's boring for you, but for me, it's as exciting as every time I practice with the lady - I'm sorry that I can't let you use your full strength."

Shad believed that his expression at the moment must be very strange, because Miss Winslet and Miss Danister both covered their mouths and laughed softly.

"There's no need for this kind of apology."

The third round officially began. Seeing the open card in his hand [Founding·Silver Moon], and the lady sitting on a high stool holding up the moon on the card, he couldn't help but smile, and then shook his head with some nostalgia:

"Look at this, this is the first special rule card I got. Simple and practical, you can adjust the number within the range of 1 to 5."

Then he was about to reveal his hidden card, but was stopped by the girl opposite:

"Sorry, please look at this!"

She smiled reservedly and showed her hand to Xia De. On the card was a looming figure under a clock tower in the thick fog:

"【Urban Legend·Murderer in the Fog】, Suit: Moon 11. When this card is drawn, if this card is the second card and all players have not checked the first hidden card, all players cannot check their first hidden card before announcing their own suspension, and all players must draw a third card."

"I have a Moon 4 【Urban Legend·Non-Existent Street】, is this card a card for gambling?"

Shad understood:

"This card itself has 11 points. If you don't know the first card, the possibility of drawing the third card and exploding is not small."
