Whispering Verse

Chapter 2970 Apostle of Time

"I don't know whether my luck tonight is good or bad. I never thought that one day I would drain my deck because of [Genesis·Time], but I didn't expect that even if I drained my deck, I didn't hit 21 points at all, and even the king and queen all 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 21 points now, then you can only win if the first two cards are kings and queens, 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 will draw again."

So Shade directly revealed his bottom card:

"Star 11, Moon 7, Flower 3, Sorry, I really have 21 points."

The masked man then looked down at his deck:

"Shuffle."

With only three cards left, he could definitely see the position of each card by just watching Shade shuffle, so he turned around and let Shade shuffle. After Shade announced that the shuffle was complete, he saw three cards placed in parallel on the table in front of him that did not overlap.

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 drawing cards or when the referee deals cards, the first draw is to get two cards at a time.

In the current situation, the masked man must have the first two cards to be "King" and "Queen" to win. Once [Genesis Time] exists, the game is over.

"If this game can be announced, it will definitely attract more attention than the championship game of the big city players. It is even possible that people will still talk about this game a hundred years later."

Facing the fact that the card masked man was slow to act, Xia De also smiled and said:

"If this game is announced, everyone will definitely think you are cheating. [Genesis·Time] has been in your hand 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 the last two cards left."

The masked man said and selected two cards from the three cards. Xia De reminded him:

"Just now you always drew [Genesis·Time] in the first two cards, which gave you a lot of initiative. But if [Genesis·Time] is still in the first two cards this time, then the time that seemed to help you originally will lead to your final failure."

"What you said is very much like the prophecy made by fortune tellers."

He first turned over the card on his left hand. When the complex card surface appeared, Xia De knew that it was the king.

[Fool's Tale·Time Apostle], King of Suit. In the center of the card is a huge tilted dial, and a man whose face is not clearly visible 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 again. ]

"Since the King has been drawn, who would discard the card?"

Xia De asked puzzledly, but he also has a special card from the "Fool's Tale" series, which is the flower 4 [Fool's Tale·Thunderbolt Madman].

"So this is the 'Fool's Tale'. It is probably to match the effects of some special cards, so that the king can become the king + queen or 21 points. I heard that in a set of special cards in the same series, many rules are mutually complementary."

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 hand side, and the [Genesis·Time] that both of them were very familiar with appeared again in the dim kerosene lamp light.

The masked man sighed deeply, and even if he couldn't see his face, Xia De 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 shaking firelight made the atmosphere very subtle. Although Xia De still remembered what he came here for, he also admitted that this card game was the most interesting thing tonight.

If possible, he actually doesn't mind playing another round with the other party, but that would definitely not be today:

"I won."

Shad said:

"In fact, when you asked me to redraw cards in the middle of this round, I stopped playing below 19 points several times. If you stopped the cycle of time during this period, you might have won several times. I understand that you want to activate the effect of special cards, but you are too obsessed with the power of time. You have mastered the initiative of the time cycle, but you fail to understand that if you keep looping, there will be an end after all."

"I really suspect that you are a fortune teller now. Are you sure when to come to the time transfer station again?"

The masked man asked, and Shad nodded:

"Sure, it's the same as what I said just now, Tuesday night."

Shad said and sorted out his deck on the table and prepared to leave. Although the game was good, he didn't forget the banquet on the ship. He really wanted to share the experience of this game with Miss Bell. The girl had the same interests as him and would definitely understand the excitement of this game.

"Wait."

When Xia De stood up, the masked man who had been staring at the messy table in a daze suddenly said, and pointed to the table:

"Pick 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 that point, you deserve a special card."

Since he said this, of course Shade wouldn't 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.

The King's suit [Fool's Story·Time Apostle] is of course not the same as Shade's deck. After all, Shade's only queen is a special card [History of the New World·Pioneering Wind].

But he didn't like the card [Fool's Story·Time Apostle], not 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: Merkel Double-barreled Shotgun] from Suit Star 2.

The masked man had no problem with 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 and exciting card game for a long time. He just looked down at the cards in his hand, and somewhat suspected that the other party wanted to use this to track his identity.

However, he checked many times after leaving the place and 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 currently being guarded by a loyal cat.

Little Mia circled left and right around the small cake decorated with strawberries on the table in the banquet hall, swaying her tail back and forth, seemingly not letting anyone get close to her.

And when it saw Shade coming, it immediately started meowing. 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 is here for the first time, the maids have already prepared a room for this ancient great witch in the Accordion Hotel. Shade originally wanted to talk to her again and ask her if there was anything else she needed. But after knocking on the door and entering, he found that Miss Denister was 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 Olanode 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 the Speaker of the Witch Council of this generation 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.

"Shade, we are discussing some academic issues. If nothing happens, you can go and rest."

The red-haired girl said again at this time, and Shade nodded:

"I'll go talk to Amelia 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 hold onto the elf and ask her about her experiences in the Fifth Era until late at night, so he went to see Emilia just to say hello to her and 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 chattered while holding a robe and gesturing in front of the floor-length mirror. After seeing Shade, they immediately hid the robe.

However, the open suitcase on the ground has not yet been closed. Inside, there are many clothes that Emilia brought back from the Fifth Era. The fashion of that era was obviously very different from today.
