Chapter 2970 Time Apostle
"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 wouldn't hit 21 points at all. Even the king and queen sank to the bottom."
The masked man said this, looking at the cards in Shade's hand under the dim light of the kerosene lamp:
"you"
"You have to think carefully. If I have 21 points now, then you can only win if the first two cards are a king or a queen. Otherwise, a single king or queen is less than 21 points."
After Shade said this, the masked man thought about it for a moment, but finally shook his head:
"No, I'm the only one who's going to redraw the cards this time."
So Xia De directly revealed his trump card:
"Stars 11, Moon 7, Flowers 3, Sorry, I really am 21."
The masked man then looked down at his deck:
"Shuffle the cards."
With only three cards left, he could tell the position of each card by just watching Shade shuffle the cards, so he turned around and asked Shade to shuffle the cards. When Shade announced that the shuffle was done, he saw three cards placed in parallel on the table in front of him, without overlapping.
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 time you draw two cards.
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 poker game could be made public, it would definitely attract more attention than the championship game of the players in the big city. It is even possible that people will still be talking about this poker game a hundred years later."
Seeing that the card masked man was still hesitant to take action, Xia De also smiled and said:
"If this game is made public, everyone will think you are cheating. You have won every time. Do you know how small the probability is?"
"People might also think you're cheating, because I drained the deck and the King and Queen were the last two cards left."
The masked man said as he selected two of 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 have helped you will lead to your ultimate failure."
"What you said sounds very much like the predictions made by fortune-tellers."
He first turned over the card on his left hand, and when the complex card surface appeared, Shad knew it was the king.
[Fool's Tale: Apostle of Time], King of Colors. In the center of the card is a huge tilted dial, and a man with an unclear face is running on a similarly tilted path in front of the dial.
[When you draw this card, you can choose to discard it and draw again. ]
"Now that the Chinese King has been drawn, who would discard the cards?"
Shade asked in confusion, but he also had a special card from the "Fool's Tale" series, which was Flower 4's [Fool's Tale·Thunderstruck Madman].
"So this is the 'Fool's Tale'. It's probably to cooperate with the effects of some special cards, so that the king can become the king + queen or blackjack. I heard that in a set of special cards of the same series, many rules are complementary to each other."
The masked man said that he still had a chance of winning, as long as the second card was... He turned over the card on his right hand, and the [Genesis Time] that both of them were very familiar with appeared again in the dim light of the kerosene lamp.
The masked man let out a long sigh. Even though he couldn't see his face, Shade could guess his expression at that moment.
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 swaying firelight made the atmosphere very subtle. Although Xia De still remembered why he came here, he also admitted that this card game was the most interesting thing tonight.
If possible, he wouldn't mind playing another round with the other party, but that would definitely not be today:
"I won."
Shade said:
"In fact, during this round of poker, when you asked me to redraw cards, I stopped playing several times when the points were below 19. If you had stopped the cycle of time during this period, you could have won several times. I understand that you want to activate the effects of special cards, but you are too obsessed with the power of time. You have the initiative of the time cycle, but you fail to understand that if the cycle continues, it will eventually end."
"I really suspect you are a fortune teller now. Are you sure when to come to the time transfer station again?"
The masked man asked, and Shade nodded:
"OK, it's still the same as before, Tuesday night."
As Shad said this, he arranged his deck of cards on the table and prepared to leave. Although the card game was very good, he did not forget the banquet on the ship. He wanted to share his experience of the card game with Miss Bell. The girl had the same interests as him and would definitely understand the excitement of this card game.
"and many more."
When Xia De stood up, the masked man who had been staring at the messy table in a daze suddenly said, pointing to the table:
"Choose one."
"what?"
"In addition to [Genesis·Time], choose a special card from my deck as a commemoration of this game. Although we agreed in advance that my special card would not be included in the bet, this game has reached such a level that you deserve to take a special card."
Since he said so, Xia De certainly wouldn't be polite.
In addition to choosing special cards that suit his aesthetic taste, the most important thing is of course that they cannot be the same suit or points as the special rule cards he already has.
The King's suit [Fool's Tale·Apostle of Time] is of course not the same as Shad's deck. After all, Shad's only Queen card is the special card [History of the Development of the New World·Wind of Development].
However, he did not like the card [Fool's Tale: Apostle of Time] in every aspect, not to mention that the masked man had this card just now and still lost. Shade thought this was a hint.
So he picked and chose, and finally chose the [Gun·Meckel Double-barreled Shotgun] from Suit Star 2.
The masked man had no objection, so after Shad finished selecting the cards, he said goodbye and left.
Facing the silvery white city under the moonlight, Xia De left the gate of the time transfer station and returned to the alley and breathed a sigh of relief. He was in a good mood after playing such an exciting card game for the first time in a long time. However, he looked down at the cards in his hand and suspected that the other party wanted to use them to track his identity.
However, after he left the place, he checked many times but found no clues. Finally, he wrote his name on a card, then turned into a cat and ran out of the city on the snow on the roofs of the city.
When Shad returned to the Radiant Emissary, the welcome party was over, but Luvia and Flora did leave him a dessert, which was now guarded by a loyal cat.
Mia was circling left and right on the dining table in the banquet hall, around the small strawberry cake, wagging her tail, and it looked like she wouldn't let anyone get close to her.
When it saw Shade coming, it immediately meowed, which made Shade feel that it was not guarding the cake, but was just waiting for Shade to come back and feed it.
It was already late, so Shade didn't really bother Miss Bell. As for Miss Orlanod, who had just arrived here, the maids had already prepared a room for this ancient witch in the Accordion Inn. Shade wanted to talk to her again and ask if she needed anything else. But after knocking on the door and entering, he found Miss Danister was also here.
The red-haired girl seemed to have been here for a while. The two seemed to be talking before Shad came in, but they both kept their mouths shut after Shad came in.
"Shad, what's going on?"
Because it was almost time for rest, Miss Orlanode had taken off her silver hair accessories, and her yellow hair fell behind her, which made her look even more charming.
"Do you need anything else here? If you are not comfortable or you are missing something, I can arrange it. The living environment here may not be as good as the Shining Emissary, but since the Speaker of the Witch Council of this generation is coming, we have to avoid it."
He stood at the door and didn't feel like going in, so the Moon Witch smiled and shook her head:
"This place is nice. I also stayed on the Shining Emissary, but I wasn't very curious about it. And aren't you also staying in this hotel?"
So Miss Elither's experience in the Fifth Age is really curious.
"Xia De, we are discussing some academic issues. If you have nothing else to do, you should go and have a rest."
The red-haired girl said again, and Xia De nodded:
"I'm going to talk to Amelia again. I won't be here for a while. Good night, ladies."
"Good night, Shade." ×2
Although Emilia came back in the evening, Shade had never had a chance to talk to her alone. Now that it was late at night, Shade didn't want to hold the elf and ask her about her experience in the Fifth Age until late at night, so he went to find Emilia just to say hello to her and ask other questions tomorrow.
After all, he felt that he had neglected Emilia a little.
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 Ajelina there too. The two chattered and gestured in front of the floor-length mirror with a robe in hand, and immediately hid the robe when they saw Shade.
However, the open suitcase on the ground was not closed yet. Inside it were many clothes that Emilia brought back from the Fifth Age. The fashion trends of that era were obviously very different from those of today.
