Chapter 2923: Apostle of Time

"I don't know if my luck tonight is good or bad. I never thought that one day I would draw the deck dry because of 【Genesis: Time】, but I also didn't expect that even if the deck was drawn dry, I wouldn't hit 21 points once, and even the King and Wang Hou would all sink to the bottom."

The masked person said this, looking at Xia De's hand cards under the dim light of the kerosene lamp:

"You..."

"You have to think carefully. If I am 21 points now, then you can only win if the first two cards are King and Wang Hou. Otherwise, a single King or Wang Hou is also less than 21 points."

Xia De said this. The masked person considered it for a while, but finally shook his head:

"No, this time only I redraw."

So Xia De directly lifted his bottom card:

"Star 11, Moon 7, Flower 3, sorry, I am really 21 points."

The masked person lowered his head and looked at his deck:

"Shuffle."

In the case of only three cards left, he only needed to watch Xia De shuffle to see the position of each card, so he turned around and let Xia De shuffle. After Xia De announced that he had shuffled, he saw three paper cards placed in parallel on the table in front of him that did not overlap.

According to the rules of Rod Cards, the first card is a dark card and does not need to be shown to the opponent, so when drawing cards or being dealt by the referee, the first time is always drawing two cards at once.

In the current situation, the masked person must have the first two cards as "King" and "Wang Hou" to win. Once 【Genesis: Time】 exists, the game is over.

"If this card game could be made public, it would definitely be more eye-catching than the champion card game of the big city players, and it might even be talked about a hundred years later."

Facing the paper cards, the masked person did not move for a long time. Xia De also laughed:

"If this card game were made public, everyone would definitely think you were cheating. 【Genesis: Time】 actually came up every time. Do you know how small this probability is?"

"People might also think you were cheating. In the case that I drew the deck dry, 【King】 and 【Wang Hou】 were actually the last two cards left."

The masked person said and chose two cards from the three. Xia De reminded:

"Just now you always drew 【Genesis: Time】 in the first two cards, which gave you a great initiative. But if 【Genesis: Time】 is still in the first two cards this time, then it is the time that originally seemed to help you that led to your final failure."

"The sentence you said is very much like a prophecy made by fortune-tellers."

He first flipped over the card on his left hand. When the complex card face appeared, Xia De knew it was that King card.

【Fool's Story: Apostle of Time】, suit King. In the center of the card face was a huge tilted clock dial, and a man whose face could not be seen clearly was running on a small road tilted in front of the dial.

【When drawing this card, you can choose to discard this card and redraw.】

"Since you drew the King, who would discard it?"

Xia De asked in confusion, but he also had a special card of the "Fool's Story" series, which was the Flower 4 【Fool's Story: Lightning Madman】.

"So this is 'Fool's Story'... It's probably to match the effects of some special cards, which can make the King become King+Wang Hou or 21 points. I heard that in a set of special cards of the same series, many rules are mutually auxiliary."

The masked person said. He still had a possibility of winning, as long as the second card was... He flipped over the card on his right hand, so 【Genesis: Time】, which was very familiar to both of them, appeared again in the dim kerosene lamp fire.

The masked person let out a long sigh. Even if he couldn't see his face, Xia De could guess his expression at this time.

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 at this time very subtle. Although Xia De still remembered what he came here for, he also admitted that this card game was the most interesting thing tonight.

If possible, he actually didn't mind playing another game with the other party, but that was definitely not today:

"I won."

Xia De said:

"Actually, when you let me redraw cards in the middle of this round, I stopped drawing cards below 19 points several times. If you stopped the cycle of time during this period, you actually had a possibility of winning several times. I understand that you want to activate the effect of the special card, but you are too obsessed with the power of time. You have mastered the initiative of the time cycle, but you didn't understand that after cycling for so long, it will eventually end."

"I really suspect you are a fortune-teller now... Are you sure when you will come to the Time Transit Station next time?"

The masked person asked, Xia De nodded:

"Sure, it's the same as just said, Tuesday night."

Xia De said and tidied up his deck on the table, preparing to say goodbye. Although the card game was very good, he didn't forget the banquet on the ship. He really wanted to share the experience of this card game with Miss Bell. That girl had the same interests as him and would definitely be able to understand the brilliance of this card game.

"Wait."

Just as Xia De stood up, the masked person Bennett, who had been looking at the messy desktop as if in a daze, suddenly said, and pointed to the desktop:

"Pick one."

"What?"

"Except for 【Genesis: Time】, pick a special card from my deck as a souvenir of this card game. Although the bet agreed upon in advance does not include my special cards, this card game has been played to this extent, and you deserve to take a special card away."

Since he said so, Xia De would certainly not be polite.

And choosing a special card, besides conforming to his aesthetics, the key was naturally not to repeat the suit and points of his existing special rule cards.

The King suit 【Fool's Story: Apostle of Time】 certainly did not repeat with Xia De's deck. After all, Xia De only had the Wang Hou as a special card 【History of New World Development: Wind of Development】.

However, he didn't like this card 【Fool's Story: Apostle of Time】. He didn't like it in any aspect, not to mention that the masked person held this card just now but still lost. Xia De thought this was a hint.

So he picked and picked, and finally chose that Star 2 suit 【Firearm: Merkel Double-Barreled Shotgun】.

The masked person had no opinion on this, so Xia De left after picking the paper card.

Facing the silver-white city under the moonlight, Xia De, who left the gate of the Time Transit Station and returned to the alley, let out a long breath. He was actually in a very good mood for having such a wonderful and exciting card game after a long time. It was just that looking down at the paper card in his hand, he was a little suspicious that the other party wanted to track his identity through this.

However, he checked many times after leaving the original place and found no clues. Finally, he wrote his name on the paper card, and then turned into a cat, stepping on the snow on the roofs of the city and running toward the outside of the city.

When Xia De returned to the Radiant Messenger, the welcome banquet had already ended. However, Luvia and Flora really left him a piece of dessert, which was now being guarded by the loyal cat.

Little Mia circled around the small cake decorated with strawberries on the dining table in the banquet hall, left and right, swinging its tail, looking like it wouldn't let anyone get close.

And when it saw Xia De coming, it immediately meowed. This made Xia De feel that it was not guarding this cake, but purely waiting for Xia De to feed it.

It was getting late, so Xia De didn't really go to disturb Miss Bell. As for Miss O'Lannod who had just arrived here, the maids had already prepared a room for this ancient Great Witch in the Accordion Hotel. Xia De originally wanted to talk to her again and ask if she needed anything else. But after knocking on the door and entering, he found that Miss Danister was also here.

The red-haired girl seemed to have been here for a long time. The two should have been talking before Xia De entered the room, but they both closed their mouths after Xia De came in.

"Xia De, is there anything?"

Because it was close to rest, Miss O'Lannod had already taken off her silver hair accessories, and her yellow hair was draped behind her, which made her look even more charming.

"Do you need anything else here? If you are not comfortable living here or lack anything, I can arrange it. The living environment here might not be as good as the Radiant Messenger, but because the speaker of the Witch Council of this generation is coming, we all have to avoid it."

He stood at the door and was embarrassed to enter, so the Moon Witch smiled and shook her head:

"It's very good here. I also lived on the Radiant Messenger back then, and I'm not very curious about that place. And aren't you also living in this hotel?"

So Miss Ilayse's experience in the Fifth Era was really curious.

"Xia De, we are discussing some academic issues. If there is nothing else, you should also go to rest."

The red-haired girl said again at this time, so Xia De nodded:

"I'll go talk to Amelia again, and I won't come over in a while. Good night, two ladies."

"Good night, Xia De." ×2

Although Amelia came back in the evening, Xia De actually hadn't found a chance to talk to her alone. Now that the night was deep, Xia De didn't want to hold the little elf and ask about her experiences in the Fifth Era until the second half of the night, so he just wanted to say hello to Amelia now and ask other questions tomorrow.

After all, he also felt that he had neglected Amelia.

Luvia actually intended to figure out what Amelia had learned from the past tonight, but was persuaded by Xia De and agreed to let the elf rest first.

And when Xia De entered Amelia's room, he found that Ajelina was also here. The two were chattering and comparing a robe in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror. After seeing Xia De, they immediately hid the robe.

However, the opened suitcase on the ground had not been closed yet, and it contained many clothes that Amelia brought back from the Fifth Era. The fashion style of that era was obviously very different from today. ===== CHAPTER 2924 =====
