In the evening, a man was walking on the West End Avenue of Moldavia. He was wearing a large black trench coat and a jazz hat. Under the shadow of the hat brim, the strong lines of his face could be vaguely seen.
Since the West District underwent a large-scale expansion in 833, it has become an officially planned high-end business district. Here, there are the most sophisticated magic workshops, the most gorgeous gemstones and jewelry, and the most advanced magic energy. Arms, countless adventurers and factories supply blood to these bustling streets. As long as you have gold coins, you can buy almost everything here.
The man was very familiar with the West District. He walked slowly along the wide streets. He was very different from the hurried pedestrians. He looked very conspicuous, but the ordinary people and professionals passing by around him invariably ignored him. Even the guards patrolling the streets seemed to be unable to see this unusually tall gentleman. This man was somewhat accustomed to this, but stopped from time to time to examine the business conditions of the surrounding shops.
"It's pretty hot."
He stood in front of an alchemy shop that mainly engaged in enchanting services and sold alchemy jewelry. He watched the team line up nearly a hundred meters along the street with the help of the clerk. The man straightened his hat and said with emotion: "The enchanted jewelry is all here." With so many people buying it, it seems that people are indeed rich."
It can be seen that there are many people in the team who look like they are just ordinary civilians. Some of them are bringing children, and some seem to be men and women walking together. The men's hearing can cover the entire city, so they can naturally hear some of the things coming from them. Whisper.
"Dad, I want to buy that red gem pendant!"
"Red? Two hundred and seventy-five gold coins... Okay, today is your birthday, but you can only choose one."
"Dear, I didn't expect there would be so many people today. Thank you for waiting with me. If I had known, I would have come and queued up myself..."
"Hmph, it's good to know that you actually asked me to stand around with you, a fool, for half an hour while you clean up this weekend!"
"But wasn't I always the one cleaning?"
"Long-winded!"
The man nodded slightly. Ordinary residents of Moldavia could buy nearly three hundred gold coins of jewelry without any hesitation. This level of spending power is almost the same as that of the Central District of Redwood City, or the Three Mountains Imperial Capital. It’s easy to see the subtleties, but just From this point of view, we can know that the development of the territory is very good.
He left here and continued walking along the avenue.
On both sides of the avenue, there are brand-new pyroxene lamps, emitting bright light, and not far away, a light prism tower about twelve stories high is rotating the grid-like energy storage structure on its top. Remotely power all surrounding magic machines. Of course, this service is not free. The light prism tower will collect the energy data it transmits, and then send a 'magic fee' bill to every household that has turned on the magic machine every month. Residents who do not pay will be billed in a The magic supply was deactivated after a month.
The man was naturally Joshua. He passed by shops, including pet shops that bought and sold Warcraft eggs, security companies that hired security personnel, raw material shops that purchased and sold magic plants and Warcraft materials, and even an auction house. - Next door is a pawn shop and the official bank of Moldavia, which can be said to be a one-stop shop for loans, pawns and auctions.
However, the most popular one is the original herbal medicine shop with obvious elf druid style. The reason is very simple. Its products include energy potions that can treat hair loss, aphrodisiac, and are said to have no side effects. Many middle-aged people can be seen here. People went in and out of it anxiously.
Even though it has begun to fall at night, the number of people on the streets in the West District has not decreased, and is even increasing. At the corners of the streets, several stores that were originally closed are also lit up with magic signs, which are specially opened at night. shop.
Joshua is naturally pleased to see his territory develop to this point. Although he has never managed any specific matters, everyone must admit that 70% of Moldavia's prosperity is based on his In terms of strength, if it weren't for a legendary powerhouse, this small city in the North would never have been able to develop to this point in just a few years.
However, what worries Joshua more than the prosperous business is the information terminals on the streets that almost everyone has.
"Hello? I'm on Yinghuo Avenue in the West District. Oh, I'll be there in a minute."
"I'm telling you, the potion is really effective. I'll bring you a copy this time, brother. Don't say I'm not mean enough."
"Hey, if I didn't have money, I wouldn't want to pawn this family sword..."
A series of mental ripples spread in mid-air. They were the aftermath of the mental terminal transmitting information into the magic network server. Joshua did not intend to eavesdrop on other people's privacy, but with his strength, ordinary people could only Empty, the mental fluctuations caused by thinking alone are enough to make him listen to everything.
Although the information terminal, as a magic tool jointly developed by legends such as Joshua and Barnier, was indeed the first to be popularized in Moldavia, due to its high price, the warrior did not think that there would be many people at first. But judging from the pedestrians on West District Avenue now, most of them have information terminals.
But this is normal - Joshua suddenly remembered the group of people who bought jewelry before. The purchasing power of civilians was already so high. If he still thought at the same level as before, he would naturally make mistakes. What's more, regardless of the function, just looking at the appearance, the information terminal is also a beautiful gem, and the color can be chosen at will. In a sense, it may not be an epoch-making magical creation in the eyes of ordinary people, but It is a special kind of luxury.
"Perhaps we should talk to Israel and the others."
He made a profit by buying it, and even if he couldn't use it, he was guaranteed not to lose money. Good things like information terminals might be easier to popularize than he thought.
However, when Joshua came here today, he did not come here to observe the Moldavia people's nightlife because he was bored and went privately. In fact, he came to the West End for a very ordinary, but also very helpless purpose.
That is to find someone.
"That's almost it."
Standing in front of a bar with low-key decoration at the corner of the street, Joshua looked up at the name of the bar, "The Furnace and Fire". He felt it a little and confirmed that his target was indeed inside, and then stepped in. in.
The bar is bustling inside because it is located at the corner of the border between the West End and the East End. Many people want to take a break after work, adventure missions or long shopping, and the Melting Pot Tavern can provide them with this service. I saw that in addition to the groups of adventurers chatting and laughing loudly in the hall, the cubicles were also full of laughter. Of course, there were also guys who were drinking because of certain things. From time to time, service staff rushed over. , took out some guys who were drunk and yelling at the sky and cursed nonsense from the cubicle, and put them into the rest area behind the tavern.
But Joshua didn't care about such trivial matters. He focused on the bustling area at the edge of the tavern, where there were rows of fairy card tables. Many people were drinking and chatting with each other. The friends had a card duel, and in addition to humans, there were also dwarves and elves. Joshua even saw an elf lady who was obviously a ranger dueling with a certain dwarf craftsman. The two looked relaxed and exchanged a few words from time to time. It seemed that they felt It's a good pastime.
But the dwarves and elves are not a special scenery for Mycroft Continent. After all, the three races have been living together for thousands of years. The elven core cities next to the Eternal Lake have a 21% human settlement rate, and there are also 21% human settlements in large human cities. There will never be no dwarf elves living there, so the most eye-catching thing is not the pointed ears and beard, but a pair of straight, sharp dragon horns, and in the center of the two dragon horns, a ball of light that is jingling happily.
The black dragon girl was holding the ball of light. Such a strange sight did not attract many people to watch. It seemed that she should be a familiar face here... Thinking of this, Joshua slowly approached, intending to see what Hei was doing.
What else can you do? Of course it’s playing cards!
"This round, I discard a card and activate the 'White Dragon Knight' special effect, causing 3 points of damage to your 'Big Winged Demon'."
You can hear the calm voice of the black dragon girl. At this time, Hei has completely invested in the fairy card game, and her opponent, a... Huh
Joshua blinked. He had been paying attention to Hei just now and didn't pay attention to the opponent opposite him. But with this dragon horn and the tail wagging slightly behind him, although his temperament seemed different from before... But this was not Li Sha? She actually comes to the bar to play fairy cards? No, she is underage, how can she enter the bar
But Joshua also knows that this is a world of magic and alien races after all. No matter how good the bartender is, it is impossible to guess the age of two girls with dragon horns and obvious dragon blood. This is different from distinguishing elves and dwarves by their appearance. Just as unreliable.
A duel between two dragon girls? That's a bit interesting. Thinking of this, Joshua gave up the idea of going directly to take Hei away. Instead, he stood quietly behind the black dragon girl to see how the other party played.
"Dingling...Dingling?!"
But at this moment, Xiaoguang discovered Joshua's arrival - after all, the light ball did not turn around, it was a 360-degree perspective, and it ignored Joshua's technique of reducing his own presence, but Xiaoguang did He saw Joshua raising his finger to make a silent gesture, so he immediately stopped speaking, and then shrank slightly.
Of course, neither Hei nor Lisa noticed Joshua's arrival. The duel between the two sides was so intense that it was difficult to be distracted.
What Hei used was a dragon warrior deck that focused on discarding cards and eliminating the field. Various creatures had special effects achieved by discarding cards. Lisa used a mid-term Demon Mage deck that dominated the board. The deck can quickly expand the field advantage through the chain summoning of demon spells, and then crush the opponent in one wave.
The two sides met their opponents in chess, and they encountered good talents, and the fight was hot or not. Whenever Lisa was about to organize a big wave to press in, Black could always clear the field through various group spell attacks that ignored the enemy and ourselves but were super-model, but The problem lies in this. Black's deck seems to only have solutions, but no means of counterattack and victory.
Because both summoning and removal are basically very fast, the Fairy Card Table showed off its sophisticated magic projection function in each special effect, and the cost of both parties quickly reached ten. At this time, with Lisa's sneer , she played the core finishing method of her demon deck, 'Ultimate Sacrifice'.
[Ultimate Sacrifice, 10 fees, Mage White Crystal Epic)]
[Destroy all your summoned creatures, lose 8 health points, summon a demon with 8 health and 8 attacks, randomly resurrect two demons from your graveyard, randomly summon two demons from your hand, and randomly summon two demons from your hand. Randomly recruit two demons from the group]
[—The price this time is my soul.]
As Lisa's hero's health increased by 30, a red minus 8 special effect appeared, and a magic circle that looked like blood mixed with lava appeared on her half. Amidst the shrill wails, Lisa All the creatures with residual health that had been attacked on the field were destroyed, the magic circle rotated, and the blazing wind suddenly rose. Two cards in Lisa's hand, graveyard, and deck lit up at the same time. Then, the seven-headed demon summoned creatures. Just like that, he appeared on the field in the hot wind of hell!
The scene is instantly covered. Although the cost is high, it can be fully compensated by the special effects of the summoned demons. The demons on Lisa's field have taunts, charges, and recovery. Although some of them are trash, they are harmless.
Bang! As the 'Scorched Hell Fire Demon' with the charge ability made a direct attack on Hei, and Lisa's hero himself attacked with a weapon, causing a total of 9 points of damage, Hei's health was only 12 points, and The total attack power of Lisa's summoned creatures exceeds 30 points. Even if Black's life is full, if he cannot clear the field, he will definitely lose the next round.
"Hmph!"
This should have been an extremely desperate scene, but Hei had no intention of admitting defeat. She hummed and smiled, showing a mysterious expression: "This ultimate sacrifice of yours comes from the new version that includes 'The Void of All Realms'" Right? We just launched a new card pack yesterday, and now we’re building a new deck. Tell me, how much did you spend?”
"I want you to take care of it, I can afford it!"
At this time, Lisa said rather rudely: "You will lose the next round, what are you talking about!"
This is different from Lisa, who is usually approachable and gentle in dealing with others. Joshua once again had a strange feeling in his heart, but he was too lazy to care about such a trivial matter. The warrior looked at Hei curiously, wanting to know how the other party was going to eliminate Lisa's summoned creatures.
"Hey, I also bought a new card pack... and I drew the card I wanted most."
And just when Lisa was sure to end the round, the black dragon girl raised her mouth, with a proud smile on her pretty face: "The most important thing is that this card is specially designed to target monsters like you!"
"Feel sorry!"
Clicking the 'Sorry' voice button, Hei randomly drew a card, then selected a card in his hand and played it without hesitation: "This time, I win!"
boom! As the low magic vibration sounded, after Hei played this card, the half of the field that belonged to her instantly turned into raging and burning ruins and scorched earth. The red flame ignited the earth, just like igniting a piece of parchment, causing all things to be destroyed. They all became scorched black, and then turned into ashes, and right in the center of the flames, the shadow of a black-haired warrior appeared on the field!
Buzz, a low buzz shook the whole place. Suddenly, whether it was Lisa or Hei, all the summoned creatures on both sides instantly lost all affixes and all special effects, and the weapons of both sides were also burning in flames. It turned into nothing, gloomy dark clouds shrouded the heads of the summoned creatures in the audience, and a big minus 8 word appeared! As for Lisa's own health, a steel shield appeared with a big number 8 on it.
[Hessian Exterminator Radcliffe (Warrior Legend)]
[10 fees, 8 attacks, 10 lives]
[Advent: Silence all units on both sides, destroy all weapons on both sides, the attack of summoned creatures on both sides decreases by 8, and you gain 8 points of armor]
[Chain: If both sides have summoned creatures on the field, both parties will not be able to summon creatures]
[Curtain call: Place two pieces of 'Heaven's Wasteland' into the hands of both heroes]
[This card cannot directly attack the opponent's hero. Whenever an enemy creature is destroyed by the card's attack, it will cause damage equal to the card's attack power minus the enemy creature's attack power]
[—The forest is wailing, the monsters are wailing, despair, because the silent destroyer is approaching.]
The black-haired warrior stood in mid-air, gray clouds gathered in the sky, the black forest and the earth floated into the air and burned, with countless monsters looking in fear.
[Heaven pours into wasteland, legendary curse, cannot be played]
[At the end of each round, 3 points of life are lost]
[—This is the empty and scorched earth after destruction.]
In the burning wasteland, Lisa was stunned—none of the creatures she summoned had an attack power exceeding 8. After being reduced by the Hessian Exterminator, all of them suddenly returned to zero! Moreover, all creatures have lost their special effects, which means that neither taunts nor replies have any effect. These are all blank slates!
"End the round." Hei looked at his opponent's expression and ended his round with a smile. Although the Hessian Exterminator has powerful special effects, it will be a matter of the next round to launch an attack.
If this continues, all he has to do is wait for the Black Forest Exterminators to attack him and then be executed by Ling Chi! Although she thought so, Lisa was not helpless. She gritted her teeth and threw out a card with trembling hands: "I activate the Void Vortex!"
[Void Vortex, neutral spell, 10 fees, destroys all creatures, talismans, and weapons]
[—The graveyard of the world is the whirlpool of nothingness]
Suddenly, a huge whirlpool special effect like the Milky Way swept across the entire field. Suddenly, all the demons on the field, whether it was Lisa, the exterminator of Hessian, disappeared, and four cards were also exterminated with Hessian. The player is destroyed and enters the hands of both parties.
"Woo! End this round."
Immediately, the two effects of "Heaven's Wasteland" were activated, and Lisa's health was greatly reduced by 6. She glanced at the curse card in her hand, and then looked at the effect even if the Hessian Exterminator was destroyed. His face was darkened indifferently. He suddenly thought of something, and then his expression suddenly changed.
"Hehe, that's right!"
When it was her turn, the black dragon girl showed an intriguing smile. She threw out a card: "I summon the 'Awakening Black Dragon' to end this round!"
[Awakening Black Dragon (Warrior Gold Rare)]
[6 charges, 4 attacks, 4 lives, taunt]
[Discard all your cards, each card +1+1]
[—The sleeping dragon will finally open its eyes]
There are not many cards in Black's hand, including Tianqing Wasteland and only 5 cards drawn this round, but even so, the Awakening Black Dragon has been piled up to the point of 9 lives and 9 attacks, but even so, it is scary enough. —Lisa, who originally had few cards in her hand, thought about it for a moment, then clicked to surrender.
"I'll admit it this time, I lost." The dragon girl curled her lips and said somewhat sourly: "I didn't draw the legendary card."
"Haha, I won!"
After winning a game, the black dragon girl suddenly laughed arrogantly, and just when she was about to continue talking, a hand gently pressed on her shoulder, and patted her with a familiar force, which suddenly caused the black face to change. .
"It was a lot of fun."
This hand slid down and hugged the slender waist of the black dragon girl. Joshua bent down, put his head over Hei's shoulder, and whispered in the other person's ear: "She didn't go home for dinner at night. No. 3 said she was very angry. "
"This... Master, listen to my explanation!"
Although she was treated so intimately by Joshua, the black dragon girl was shocked. Not only did she not have any thoughts, her body even trembled with her voice: "Well, everything is for a reason! Yes, a friend invitation I’ll have an offline party duel or something…”
After saying that, the black dragon girl immediately raised her hand, pointed to the opposite side, and said righteously: "Yes, she is the one who asked me to play cards! I actually really want to exercise, but in order not to lose the face of the Lord's Mansion, so... Eh?"
Hei looked at the empty seats and was suddenly stunned.
Just when Joshua appeared, Lisa, who was originally opposite the black dragon girl, quietly disappeared, as if she melted into the air. But the next moment, 'Lisa' had already run out of the tavern and was breathing a sigh of relief. In front of him, a tall figure immediately appeared.
"Why run?"
That was Joshua with Hei under his arm. The warrior looked at his students and said curiously: "It's not that I won't let you play games, it's just that Hei, this guy, skipped class and didn't go home for dinner - Although you are all underage, you are already grown children with self-control after all. As long as you don’t drink, it’s no big deal to go to the bar. After all, I am an enlightened guardian... Lisa? "
After Joshua appeared, Lisa, who knew there was no hope of escape, kept her head down and didn't speak. This immediately aroused Joshua's suspicion - you know, Lisa's behavior was very strange from the beginning. , she is nothing like the one she usually goes to... And if what Hei said is true, then the person who took the initiative to ask Hei out this time was actually a dragon girl who didn't use information terminals very much
This is a bit strange.
With this thought in mind, Joshua took a step forward, wanting to see the opponent's situation up close. But just when the warrior's heart was filled with a 'serious' emotion, the steel vision that could see through everything naturally Everything is subject to its own observation.
Therefore, Joshua opened his eyes wide and said incredulously: "Wait?"
"syndicate?"
Don't say that the title is confusing. The little fairy doesn't know the powerful title. Anyway, a new version will be released in the future. Look at the Bahamut of Shadow Poem, don't you just withdraw from the environment and reappear again - and it's convenient to have five words. I know the word count.
