Chapter 1328: Clues on the Mountain Top

Mr. Erfurt said quite seriously, while Xia De took out the 【Dacheng Player · 1853 Tobeisk Champion】 with the Star 12 suit and displayed it on the snow for him to see:

"I am last year's Dacheng Player champion. There are many special cards in my deck."

Mr. Erfurt clapped his hands in surprise and laughed:

"1853 champion. That's right, 1853 was the year the Dacheng Player was held again. I actually forgot... I had no possibility of playing cards with the Dacheng Player champion when I was alive. It doesn't matter. Please use all your special cards; that is the respect for Luo De cards and the dignity of a card player. Life is truly wonderful. Dying here, I instead have such a wonderful encounter."

Xia De also showed a smile:

"I also didn't expect to meet an opponent with a special card this afternoon."

He took out the dice and threw them onto the snow, and stopped Little Miya who wanted to grab the dice:

"What rules should we use?"

"Keep it simple, the first to win twice wins."

Mr. Erfurt suggested. This was the simplest rule, representing the purest Luo De cards.

"No problem."

This card game had no referee, and naturally, there was no need to check each other's decks. The two sitting opposite each other in the snow each placed their respective cards on their right side, and then drew their first hidden card together.

"Speaking of which, I'm curious. This place is so far from the city. Mr. Erfurt, you came from afar. Is there anything worth noting nearby?"

Xia De asked, and then drew the second card with Mr. Erfurt. Xia De's second card was the newly acquired Moon 12 【Phantom Opera House · Silent Audience】. This card could require the opponent to force a stop when the previous card was also of the Moon suit, but it was a pity that Xia De glanced at his bottom card, which was the Sun 4 【Carsenrick Southern Folklore · Moon Dance Festival】, which also couldn't exert an effect.

The Moon Dance Festival required having a Moon suit card in hand when drawing this card to exert an effect, so it had no effect as the first card.

"Look, you actually drew a special card right away."

The soul said in surprise, staring at that Moon 12 and reading the rules with great interest. When he heard that this was a new theme deck released in 1854, he became even more interested:

"That special card of mine was also drawn from the Prophet Association on the first day the cards were released."

"16 points."

Xia De was thinking in his heart, indicating that he wanted to draw the third card, and Mr. Erfurt also had to continue drawing cards:

"Yes, I came here for an inspection, indeed because there is something worth noting here. I heard from the people in the town that there is a very ancient temple ruin nearby, on some mountain."

The two drew their third card together. Xia De frowned slightly, Star 4, although it had a special pattern, it wasn't a special rule card:

【The old book friend I've known for ten years recommended a book-chasing app to me. The source switching is really easy to use. Driving and before going to bed all rely on this reading to pass the time. You can download it here:. huanyuanapp】

"I'll stop. Mr. Erfurt, I'm at 20 points."

He displayed his three cards:

"What you said isn't wrong. There is indeed an ancient temple nearby, on that mountain over there. But it's not for worshipping the earth, but for worshipping the night."

"Is that so? It seems the news I got was wrong."

The soul said with annoyance, reaching out to draw his fourth card:

"Let me see my luck... Busted."

Star 5, Star 12, Sun 2, and Moon 7. The first three cards were 19 points, but unfortunately, the luck in the end wasn't good enough.

The four cards drawn by Mr. Erfurt were thrown onto the tiger, and Xia De's three cards were placed on Miya.

The soul continued to say:

"However, a temple worshipping the night is truly rare. Usually, the night is worshipped together with the moon. I heard there is also a protected Moon Worship ruin in the suburbs, but unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to go see it."

Xia De felt even more sorry for him:

"Then, before you encountered the accident, did you find any interesting places nearby?"

The two started the second round of drawing cards. The open space in the cedar forest was illuminated by the evening sun, and Xia De felt warm all over. And the cat he used as a temporary "card rack" was also enjoying the sunshine at this time, lying lazily on Xia De's lap, unwilling to move.

"Yes, in order to find the temple ruin mentioned by the townspeople, I climbed that high mountain."

Mr. Erfurt pointed with his finger. Looking at the direction, it happened to be the direction of the Night Temple:

"I confirmed that I didn't find the wrong place. Just like the townspeople said, there is indeed a cave entrance at the foot of the mountain. But I climbed to the top of the mountain, yet I couldn't see the temple ruin or the arches."

The two drew their second card together. Xia De laughed when he saw the card face:

"【Dacheng Player · 1853 Tobeisk Champion】, suit: Star 12. When drawing this card, you have the right to view one of the opponent's hidden cards."

"I didn't expect to really encounter it."

Mr. Erfurt said excitedly, temporarily placing the "Flower 1" he drew aside, and then displayed his hidden card:

"I originally thought I could give you a surprise."

On the card face, a beautiful girl holding a broom, wearing an apron and a headscarf, seemed to be dancing alone in front of the fireplace. Although it was a black-and-white card face, the exquisite pattern was still very surprising.

"The Prophet Association is already planning to launch color-drawn cards. I'm looking forward to seeing the color card face."

Xia De said.

【Ancient Fairy Tale · Cinderella】, suit: Moon 3. If this card is the first hidden card, then in the case where the final point total equals 19, it is adjusted to 20. If this card is the last card, then in the case where the final point total equals 18, it is adjusted to 19.

"Ancient Fairy Tale series..."

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly:

"I also have two cards from the Ancient Fairy Tale series."

【Ancient Fairy Tale · Match Girl】, originally belonging to Xia De's friend, Baron Lavender, was won by Xia De from Baron Lu Anda at the Lake View Manor and temporarily placed in Xia De's hands. But later, Baron Lavender promised Xia De that if Xia De won the Dacheng Player champion, that card would belong to Xia De... The Baron clearly also bet quite a bit in the autumn;

As for 【Ancient Fairy Tale · Sleeping Princess】, it was won by Xia De in Mid-Hill Fort from Count Dalak of Cambella, the "third nail" that Xia De hit into the reality world from the Narrow Gap. The Count later appeared in the night of the Battle of Mount Sikar to help him, and the Count's rapier skills also left a deep impression on Xia De.

"However, Cinderella refers to..."

Xia De hesitated for a moment, and Mr. Erfurt explained:

"This is another name for the ancient fairy tale. You must have heard the names currently popular for this fairy tale, *Greer's Crystal Shoes* or *The Princess in the Pumpkin Carriage*."

Xia De showed a smile:

"Heard of it, heard of it... So it really is this one."

He also displayed his first hidden card, even though he could choose not to:

"Then I'll flip the card too. Look, it's this one."

【Founding · Silver Moon】 suit: Sun 3. Using this card, you can adjust the number within the range of 1 to 5.

Xia De's current total point is 15. He temporarily didn't use the card's rule of adjusting numbers. And Mr. Erfurt was at 4 points, still far from the end.

The idle talk temporarily ended, and both were quite concerned about the next draw.

Xia De drew the third card, hesitated for a moment, and then laughed:

"Surprising. Star 2. I'll stop and adjust the Sun 3 【Founding · Silver Moon】 to Sun 5. 5+12+2, my total point is 19."

"That is indeed a very good choice."

Mr. Erfurt also said, and then displayed his hand:

"Flower 13, I'm at 17 points."

Xia De nodded:

"If you draw a 2 next, 19 adjusts to 20, and you win. If you draw a 3 or 4, both are larger than mine, and you can also win."

The soul looked at his card pile and took out the next card:

"Let me see... Ha, Flower 7. I'm not surprised at all."

He shook his head with a smile, not caring at all:

"I'm already very satisfied. Being able to have a wonderful game with the Dacheng Player champion, and even being able to see the Founding series, I'm already very satisfied."

He gathered his cards and handed them to Xia De:

"They belong to you."

"Thank you."

Xia De took the cards and stood up with the soul, and the tiger also stood up. It probably already realized what was going to happen, pacing back and forth on both sides of the soul.

Mr. Erfurt stroked the tiger's fur and then said to Xia De:

"This time, please don't kill it."

"Okay."

Xia De nodded, then rummaged through his pocket and found a raw meat toy, restored it, and threw it on the ground. Among the toys he carried, food was the most numerous.

Mr. Erfurt then said to the tiger standing on the snow:

"I'll let you go this time, but if you hurt anyone because of this, that will be my fault. For the sake of the two years we lived together, go into the mountains and forests. I hope you haven't forgotten your hunting instincts."

He patted the tiger's head one last time. The tiger looked up at him, picked up the meat, and then turned and ran toward the depths of the cedar forest. This time, it didn't look back.

Mr. Erfurt sighed, and his body gradually became transparent. Xia De reached out to draw a black crack so he could leave as soon as possible:

"You actually didn't find the wrong place, but what you were looking for wasn't the mountain top, but climbing to the top from inside the cave after entering from the cave... But fortunately, you didn't enter that cave; it's very dangerous."

The soul shook his head slightly:

"It doesn't matter anymore. That was a matter from when I was alive... I also discovered some interesting traces on the top of that mountain. If you are interested, you can go take a look."

He bowed slightly toward Xia De, and then his spirit body disintegrated into light spots and flew toward the crack. Xia De watched Mr. Erfurt's soul appear on the calm and pitch-black water surface in the distance, walking toward the Dark Moon along with thousands of other souls.

The crack closed. Xia De picked out the Moon 3 【Ancient Fairy Tale · Cinderella】 and added it to his deck, then held Little Miya with one hand and looked at the distant high mountain:

"The top of that mountain, is it?" ===== CHAPTER 1329 =====
