Modern Girl·Florist Girl, Flower Moon 7. When this card is drawn, if the total number of cards in your hand is two or less, if your opponent holds a kingdom or queen this round, the king and queen will be invalid and regarded as 0 points.
This card is a special card in the new deck launched last year. Shade had only heard Baron Lavender talk about it, but he never expected to see it himself. Because of the development of the printing industry driven by the steam industry in recent years, the cards of Rhodes cards have become more and more exquisite and beautiful. On the card of Modern Girl, the girl in the flower shop holding a watering can and wearing an apron watering the plants in the pots in the flower shop is very consistent with Shade's aesthetics:
"But the luck of this card is based on the luck of the opponent. Unfortunately, I am not that lucky."
Xia De said modestly, and then asked doubtfully:
"Since this card has no effect for the time being, you don't have to turn over the cards. Now, I know your hidden card."
"What's the difference between drawing a special card and not revealing it and not drawing it?"
The middle-aged man asked with his neck tilted back. Shad was stunned for a moment and did not respond. He drew the second card with Mr. Walker.
Mr. Walker has Sun 9, and his hand has 16 points. And Shad still has Flower, 2 points, and his hand has 15 points.
"I'll continue."
"I'll continue, too."
Mr. Walker was Sun 4, totaling 20 points, which made him smile. Shad was Moon 5, also totaling 20 points, and he narrowed his eyes.
"Well, Mr. Hamilton, do you want to continue?"
Mr. Walker asked. He didn't know Shad's cards, so he didn't know the current situation. But no matter what Shad chose, Mr. Harry Walker would probably not continue to draw. In other words, unless Shad went crazy and continued to draw cards, this round would probably be a draw.
Xia De thought for a moment, glanced at Miss Louisa, and then said softly:
"Want to try your luck with me? A draw would be too boring."
He also turned over his bottom card, revealing 20 points, and looked at Mr. Walker:
"We all have 20 points, so I don't think any of us will choose to continue drawing cards. So why not try our luck and draw another card? Although there's a high probability that we'll all get a bust, maybe someone will be lucky enough to draw 1 point."
Mr. Walker thought about it and felt that this was fair:
"Of course, I won't miss this kind of exciting gambling game. Then let's make a deal. We will all draw cards in the next round."
He reached out and flipped over his fourth card, the suit of Star 3, which was undoubtedly a bust:
"Oh, that's what I meant."
His tone was quite regretful, and it seemed that he was also hoping to be blessed by the god of luck.
Shade also reached out to draw a card, but instead of picking it up from the top of the deck, he pressed it on top of the deck and flipped a corner. His plan was to take a look, then sigh, press the card down, and then draw Carsenrick Southern Folklore Moon Dance Festival.
Moon Dance is blessed by two ghosts. When the card is in the deck, you can draw it as long as you want, even if you have already seen the card. In contrast, although the effect of Genesis: Balance is similar, it does not even need to be in the deck. Shade can draw it whenever he wants.
When you draw the Southern Folklore of Carsonrick, Moon Dance Festival, if you have a card of the Moon suit in your hand, and the sum of the points does not exceed 7, then if you explode this round, the total points will be adjusted to 1. Now Shade only has one Moon 5, which just meets the requirements.
Although this is considered cheating, there is no money involved this time, so even if Mr. Walker loses, he won't suffer a big loss. So Shade opened a corner as planned, and sighed immediately after seeing the suit and number.
The plan failed and he couldn't push the card down.
Xia De looked up at the middle-aged man who was playing cards with him, frowned, squinted his eyes, turned over the fourth card, and used magic to control it to float in the air to show it to the other party. It was Suit Moon 1, and Xia De had 21 points.
"Is there such a thing?"
The middle-aged man was very puzzled and looked at the cards for a long time.
As for Shade, he finally knew what kind of luck holding two founding series cards could bring to the game.
Mr. Walker was willing to accept the loss, of course, because the stakes were not big. He accepted Miss Louisa's 13 pounds and handed over the rolled parchment.
When the information about the out-of-control angel-level relic was mentioned, although he seemed reluctant, he still told the news:
"This time, the angel-level relic is not an object. This time, the relic is a kind of... event. Do you understand?"
A relic is not necessarily an actual object, but may be a piece of information, an event, or even something that is more difficult to describe in human language. Shade heard about this when he met Dr. Schneider for the second time, but it was only now that he heard about a relic that was not an object.
"Incident? What exactly is it?"
Miss Louisa asked, while Shade stood aside, looking at the corridor behind them to prevent anyone from suddenly appearing.
"My news may not be correct, just treat it as something new."
Mr. Walker counted the money as he spoke:
"It's in a small town southeast of Tobesk City, but I can't tell you the exact location. It manifests itself in darkness, a darkness that covers the entire area. Outside that dark area, in the normal world, any information about the area covered by darkness will disappear. At the same time, indescribable creatures will continue to appear within the dark area, and those creatures will gradually migrate out of the dark area, bringing the darkness to even farther places."
Mr. Walker shrugged and stuffed the counted coins into his pocket:
"If left alone, sooner or later, the darkness brought by those monsters will engulf the entire world. Fortunately, the Orthodox Church's routine patrol team discovered something wrong in time. To be precise, there was an inexplicable plain on the map of Tobysk City, but the church's geographers believe that there can be no plains in the southeast of Tobysk. Although even the ring sorcerers cannot observe the darkness, as long as they know the approximate range, the church can still find clues by using means. I don't know the specific name of the relic, nor do I know more detailed information about it, but at least the darkness has been controlled."
"Are you sure you have it under control? From your description, if this thing gets out of control, we should think about applying to the academy to leave this area."
Miss Louisa said.
"From what I heard, it's under control. Louisa, you're also a native of Tobesk, so you should know how powerful Mr. 'Iron Right Hand' is. Although the evil god incident a few days ago showed that the Orthodox Church is not omnipotent, that was an evil god after all, and it's different from this incident."
The middle-aged man waved to the two of them and was about to leave:
"Even if the sky of the material world collapses, there are still the Orthodox Church and the Academy to support us. Even if they can't hold on, there are still the rumored 'God Caller' or similar high-level sorcerers. Correspondence sorcerers like us should still think carefully about our studies. Although the exam week is over, there are only five months left until the winter year-end exams."
He walked past Shade and left. Judging from his complaints, the exam weeks of the three major thaumaturgy academies should be at the same time, and this gentleman's results were obviously not ideal.
"Shad, what do you think?"
Miss Louisa ignored Mr. Walker who was leaving and asked Xia De instead.
"If the sky collapses, I won't be able to hold on."
He said with a smile, and then spoke seriously:
"Although the church failed to stop the God Summoning Ceremony, if it is just an angel-level relic, I think it should be fine. A few days ago, I was at the Prophet Association and met the association's president, Mr. Stan. He was recruited by the Orthodox Church some time ago to help deal with the out-of-control relic. Now that he is back, the matter should be resolved soon."
"I don't think the church can't control the relic from getting out of control, but I feel that so many things have happened in the Tobysk region in just one month. I grew up in this city and never felt that this city was so dangerous."
The blonde exclaimed.
The outsider didn't think that all these were caused by his arrival. After all, he hadn't arrived here when the darkness appeared.
It was calm tonight, just as Father Augustus said, it was not easy for a ring wizard to encounter an out-of-control relic, and the God's Descent incident frightened the ring wizards of the entire city, so no strange people were encountered that night.
He had spent a week at home without any problems, and if he had an accident right after leaving the house, Shade would really have to check if there was something wrong with him.
Shad sat next to Miss Louisa, chatting with the voice in his heart about the story and singing of the opera performance, and whispering with the blonde girl about the situation of other correspondence ring sorcerers in the city.
The opera ended at 9:30 p.m., and tonight's "class" ended here. Shad took Miss Louisa back to Quill Street in the university district where she lived in a carriage.
Miss Louisa hoped that Shad would not forget that the real purpose of going out tonight was to study "Kiss of the Tree", so she talked to him on the way about the influence of the "enlightenment" element on the mind and spirit of the ring warlock.
Later they talked about Shade's puzzle lock. Everyone was very tired tonight, so she didn't have the opportunity to touch the puzzle lock again to gain enlightenment, but the writer thought of another thing:
"Shad, since you got the puzzle lock because you left traces in the past, have you opened the second time key? Was there any special experience this time? Or was it the same as an ordinary investigator this time?"
She finally asked this question. Xia De glanced at the night view of the city outside the window. Today was the first day of the curfew. There were a lot of people going out to drink, and there were also a lot of people leaning against the wall to vomit:
"It's unlocked. It's the key to the year 3002 of the Fifth Epoch."
Shade said, wondering what a cat alone at home might be doing:
"I met Miss Mana Filianna in the past."
"Who? Huh? Oh! I see."
The blonde girl sitting opposite Shade whispered, covering her mouth. The sigh just now was a bit too loud:
"Miss Feliana... Shade, don't talk to me about your past experiences. The mystery of time is too profound for me. I don't have the power of time. Listening to your experiences too much may cause problems for me."
In a world where mysticism exists, Shad's unusual time travel experience itself is already considered a part of abnormal knowledge. Because of Shad's fragility as a mortal, the innocent creator of the Old Gods could not reveal more secrets of the epochs and gods to him. And now, Shad had better not tell others too much about his time travel experience, which is also due to the fragility of mortals.
"However, if you also want to influence the future from the past this time so that you can have another Enlightenment Rune, you can tell me what you did afterwards."
Miss Louisa said.
"No, I probably won't be able to get enlightenment this time. But if things go well, I might get an extra Miracle Spirit Rune. Oh, and the Eternal Youth Leaf, I'll have to trouble you to keep one for me."
There are no spirit runes among the rewards of the ancient gods, but once the summoning ceremony is successful, he may gain power by touching the door of the old gods' transformation.
The blonde smiled gently:
"That's really good. Miracles come from the past, and enlightenment comes from our courses... Are you ready to advance from the second ring to the third ring in one month as well?"
Shade shook his head:
"I don't have any reason to gain strength as quickly as possible. Rather than being promoted quickly, I want to have a more solid foundation."
"You're right. We still have a long way to go, so we don't have to move so fast."
Xia De always felt that there was something strange about this sentence.
