"The only thing that is not in doubt now is that it is illegally manipulating the game."
Miss Syluff tried to reorganize her thoughts:
"We can't report it, but if he doesn't get punished immediately for rigging, then can we."
Jenkins was surprised by this line of thinking, but it actually makes sense to think about it carefully:
"We don't know the way it manipulates the game, and the only way we can influence the game now is to give 'you' a dream from me. In fact, dreaming can give you a lot of knowledge, but I'm not sure every time the knowledge is It can form cards. And if this kind of dreaming is carried out too much, I think the other party will definitely give you negative effects such as [spiritual damage]."
Under the premise that the decisive card cannot be obtained through the dream, Jenkins is actually not inclined to dream again.
"In fact, there is another way of thinking. When we forged the sword just now, didn't we also interfere in the game through ourselves? It's just that we didn't realize the value of doing so at the time."
Jenkins caught fleeting inspiration:
"If I knew the value of doing this at the time, I should have painted that sword with my blood first. We can't affect the card, we can't change the card, so, can we make the card? Yes, I have an idea , manufacturing is not necessarily creation, it can also be a substitution... "
"manufacture?"
Miss Elf didn't understand, but Jenkins shook his head:
"It's just a good idea, but I think we've won the game. Now we only need to consider the issue of human pus. Miss Syluff, your idea is very good."
"What do I think?"
The elf obviously didn't understand Jenkins' train of thought, but this did not prevent her good mood from reappearing:
"Since you have confidence, that's good. If we only need to deal with human pus, then we still have to find a way to gather three symbols. I think people outside will be our helpers."
She trusts Jenkins very much. Since Jenkins thinks that the game is not troublesome, she doesn't worry about the game at all.
The game continues, and the ninth year begins. The four events of this year are [Severe Illness], [Resurrection of the Undead], [Laughing Crow] and [Great Earthquake].
[Disease] refers to the sudden serious illness of the two kings, [Undead Resurrection] and [Laughing Crow] are undead events and alien events respectively, and [Great Earthquake] is a large-scale natural disaster.
With joint efforts, the four incidents were resolved perfectly. Although there was no gain, at least it did not make the situation worse.
As for the red accident this year, there were two [Steam] and one [Tree of Madness]. The latter refers to the reappearance of mutated plants in the country. Unlike the weirdness of [Flower of Evil], [Tree of Madness] directly attacks any creature it can touch.
This is a huge creature. Although there is only one plant, it can influence the entire kingdom with its well-developed root system.
Jenkins did not act unexpectedly this time, and the two resolved with the few remaining cards in the deck. And the platinum influence [Noble Royal Family] appeared again. After using a small amount of [Personal Force] and the magic sword, the incident was resolved, allowing the two to get a brand new item [Heart of the Crazy Tree].
And because of the influence of the thinking just now, before the card was formed, Jenkins repeatedly emphasized that his blood dripped on the tree during the fight. This is really useful, so the name of the formed card has changed [Heart of the Mad Elf Tree].
In addition, [Noble Royal Family] also played a role, and let Miss Elf hear the "revelation" for the third time. This time, the woman's voice explained the purpose of the symbol. After getting all three cards, they must be used in the game according to the rules of this strange land. The method of use is to announce the sacrifice card after playing. .
The symbol is not a thing, but a card, which is actually in line with the content of this paradox, and it is done according to the rules of the paradox, so there is no need for rituals, and the game will be handled automatically. This shows that those who want to help Jenkins know the content of this strange situation, which is quite amazing.
"This is the second symbol."
A little tired, Jenkins put the tree and wind cards together, and then looked at the sword with three uses left:
"Unfortunately, this sword doesn't work, we need another one."
"If this doesn't work, maybe we can use that."
The elf pointed to the floating platinum influence, a card representing her identity as a pure-blood elf, and Jenkins shook his head immediately:
"This is not acceptable. The three symbols are obviously used for sacrifice summoning. If you sacrifice that card, there is a high probability that it will directly affect you."
"But if the time comes to do this, I'm more than willing to sacrifice myself."
The elf with pointed ears looked at Jenkins seriously:
"Fate favors me very much. I have clearly reached the end of my life in the treacherous place, but I was still saved by you. Maybe, I didn't die immediately in that shadow castle because I still need to use my life to help you."
"I've never had to depend on other people's lives to find my way forward."
But Miss Elf's eyes didn't look like she was joking at all:
"You must know the mission you are taking on now. I actually don't care whether human civilization can continue at all, but I must ensure that the World Tree is safe and sound."
In the dozens of hours I have known her, she has shown the toughest attitude:
"You don't think that I'm the kind of female elf who needs to be attached to a man to survive? I have my own ideas and ways of doing it. So, in the next ten years, if we fail to find the third symbol, then please don’t hesitate to use the bloodline as a symbol in the last round.”
“Actually, we don’t necessarily need outside help.”
"World Tree, this is my own decision, so you have no right to interfere."
She made up her mind not to give Jenkins a chance to object, and the tenth year officially began.
Due to the previous accidents, in the tenth year, Miss Elf hardly had any cards in her hands, and Jenkins still had a large stack of cards, but most of them were cards related to [Steam] that she was unwilling to use , and the [Maintain Stability] that I learned from Her Royal Highness has little effect.
In addition, there are not many cards in his hand that can really work. The key still depends on what kind of events will be encountered next. He has a way to win in his mind, but he must persist until the last round to be useful.
... In the thirty-seventh round, the event [Frantic Red Moon] was resolved by one piece of [Maintain Stability], one piece of [Astrology], one piece of [Basic Mystery Knowledge] and one piece of [Personal Force]. An unexpected event [Steam] occurred after the round.
... In the thirty-eighth round, the event [Southern Kingdom Invasion], the magic sword was used twice, and at the same time [Steam Kingdom] took effect spontaneously, ending the event and greatly reducing the probability of such events happening again in the future. After the round, an unexpected event [Unexpected Inspiration] happened, which was directly absorbed by [Steam Kingdom].
… In the thirty-ninth round, the event [Spice of Despair], a mysterious businessman came to the kingdom to sell a potion that could fill the desperate people with joy. If the incident is not resolved, the hidden danger [Human Pus - Early Outbreak] disappears, and there will be two black event cards in the next round, and the second event must be [Human Pus Outbreak]. After the round, no accidents occurred.
Before the start of the forty rounds, Jenkins reached out and grabbed Miss Elf's hand, feeling that the opponent's hand was already cold from tension. He grabbed the elf's hand not to play hooligans inappropriately, but to use his own spirit to sneak into the opponent's body, so that the elf was completely controlled.
The suppression of the high-level elf blood and the identity of the World Tree seedling directly made Miss Syluff unable to move.
"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important, but you don't need to sacrifice yet."
He let go of his hand and watched the elf freeze there. The opponent's spirit is imprisoned by him. This is a very simple use of the spirit, but Jenkins rarely does this because he usually kills the enemy directly.
"So, please read mine next. If there are no accidents, we will be able to go to the next delusion in a few minutes."
He looked at his deck, and then clamped his deck with his two hands, pressing the first card under his hand.
"No matter what happens in the fortieth round, I will use this one in my hand."
He looked at the living statue, who was the host of the paradox. Generally speaking, it's best not to look directly at this kind of thing in the treacherous environment, but by now, Jenkins has figured out what he needs to do:
"Then let's start the last round."
The living statue nodded, threw the drawn event card directly into the center of the table without looking at it, and announced:
"[End of Era]."
Afterwards, the influence [Steam Kingdom] suspended on the table automatically absorbed this card, and the living statue continued to announce:
"After absorbing enough power and thus coming to the brink of transformation, a great event [the end of the era] came. This round, under the spiral fate, creations that should not have existed will be born. Two kings, you At the final confluence, created the miracle creation—"
All the cards related to [Steam] in Jenkins' card pile flew out automatically and merged with [Steam Kingdom] without his own control, but he just watched this scene and did not stop the cards from flying.
"Miracle creation [great wisdom]."
The influence card shone with an inexplicable colorful light, and in the strange and dazzling light, the power of machinery and steam was appearing. This is not the power coming from the strange world, but the power hidden in the body of the living statue by the difference machine. Once that power takes shape, it means the kingdom is destroyed, and Jenkins' side is directly out.
In other words, the Living Statue is going to be printed as the host of the paradox.
Seeing this, Jenkins let out a long sigh, and let go of the key card.
Since the opponent wants to print a card, he can do the same. It's too low-level to read and write, he doesn't bother to do so, what he has to do is to play ready-made cards.
The cards exposed under the hand are slightly smaller than the cards in the tricky world, and the style is different.
Jenkins read out the name of the card:
"Everything is impermanent—the world."
