Chapter 68 Lord's Card and the Doctor
The Prophet Association will issue no more than three sets of special series cards each year, and the number of each set will vary, but there will only be a maximum of 54 special rules cards mixed in them, that is, at most one for each card suit number.It is even possible that there are only two special cards in a set of cards, and they are given directly to people who have a special relationship with the association without going through the market.

Therefore, it is difficult to get a card of a special series. If that card has special rules of use, it must have money to get it without luck.

Although Baron Lavender and Baron Rwanda are richer than Shard, they still don't have the money to buy the precious Rhodes.But they are all Rhodes masters, relying on poker skills to win from friends and Rhodes fans out of town, and this is not the first time this has happened.

The bet is played on a best-of-three basis, and Baron Lavender and Baron Rwanda must each end at least once, and the rest of the games can be completed by their friends instead.

Since there were only two people involved, each team played with a deck of cards. Baron Lavender's friend, Mr. Candela, who worked for the Tobesque City Prophet's Association, was in charge of shuffling and dealing the cards.

Two cards are dealt for the first time, and both sides decide whether to suspend or continue.In each round, one side wins five times. At the end of the round, one point is counted. The first side to get two points wins and gets the other side's bet.

The bet can participate in the deck, so after both parties issue the Rhodes card identification certificate to prove the authenticity of the card, the game officially begins.

"My deck has been in use for 5 years and has won me over 100 games!"

Baron Lavender, who was waiting for the shuffling process, leaned sideways on the stone table and said.

"This deck of cards of mine once went to the battlefield with me. Although there is no trace of it now, it has infected my blood."

The Rwandan baron clenched his fists and responded unceremoniously.

Shade activated the ring of life in his soul, used the spell [Echo of Blood] to glance at the Rwandan Baron's deck, and then sullenly showed no expression.

The atmosphere under the grape trellis reached its peak at the moment when the two sides were "speaking harshly". Baron Lavender and Baron Rwanda both chose to play in the first game.The warm atmosphere also attracted banquet participants near the garden vines, but only a few gentlemen chose to watch it after discovering that it was a Lord's game.

Shade was forced to stand at the stone table, but he had no interest in this fancy gamble.After he wrote down the rules, he paid attention to the distribution of bloodstains on the Rwandan Baron playing card, and then did not continue to watch the game. Even though everyone around was nervous and smiling, he was not affected by this atmosphere.

"What's so fun about playing cards?"

Shade doesn't quite understand the thinking of people in this world, thinking that this is because of cultural differences.

So, just distracted to pay attention to the progress of the game, the main mind is still looking around, wanting to know what the woman in my mind mentioned about the big event that will happen.

In the middle of the first game, when Baron Lavender was holding the cards and began to sweat, Shard saw that there was another team of Orthodox Church on the side path that was not illuminated by the elegant garden gas lamps and candles. The ring warlock team appeared. They came from the direction of Schluch Lake. They were probably by the lake a long time ago, but Shade did not notice.

The team consisted of only six people, but Shade knew three of them, and the two of them met at the door of the explosive silverware store very close to the Silver Parrot Milk Delivery Company.

One was exceptionally strong, the other had a scholar-like temperament, and the other handed him a church leaflet where he could receive relief food on the afternoon that Xia De first came to this world.

"This is the ring warlock of the [War and Peace Church] of the righteous God [Peace and Loving Father]."

Shade looked away from the group to prevent them from finding out.Although the ring warlocks also noticed that there were people gathered under the grape trellis, they did not go this way, but went around the courtyard in front of the manor through the inconspicuous garden path.

"There are two teams of ring warlocks, probably from different churches. What will happen?"

He thought to himself, and was startled by the exclamations of the men around him. It turned out that the Rwandan Baron had drawn the special card of [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl].

Of course, both sides who came to the Rhodes card game brought dice. Although the Rwandan Baron rolled 13 for the first time, it meant that he could not use the special rules, but this still made the onlookers extremely excited, and he was not tall. The baron himself was quite proud.

This is also incomprehensible to Xia De, after all, he did not trigger the rules at all.

The Rwandan Baron continued this "good luck", winning the first five times in the first game, beating Baron Lavender.The latter pursed his lips and seemed to be in a very bad mood, but when he got up, he squeezed a smirk to praise the opponent's good card skills. That funny expression made the atmosphere of joy under the grape arbor even more intense.

Although the Rwandan Baron won, he did not choose to continue the game by himself, but let his friend Mr. Sikh, a factory owner who runs a local flour factory, compete.Similarly, Baron Lavender also invited his friend Sir Solar, a horticultural artist who worked as a garden manager at Cold Spring Palace.

These two are their true friends, and they have appeared many times in the past, not hired friends like Shade.

The game started again, and Baron Lavender was extremely nervous because he had already lost a game.But the horticultural artist was more laid-back, even holding a toothpick in his mouth, fingering his moustache as he explained that he was quitting smoking.

At this time, the night has completely fallen, and the three moons hang high above the night sky.The lighting under the grape trellis is mainly provided by the elegant gas lamps in the garden and the candlesticks fixed on the table by everyone.

Under the warm yellow light, the Rhodes players squinted at their cards, and the men onlookers were also looking forward to every opening.

Only the boring Xia De was not attracted by this game. He looked at the purple grapes hanging down on the grape trellis, thinking in his heart, whether the owner of Lake View Manor would mind if the guests took some of these plump fruits privately.

"Speaking of which, can cats eat grapes?"

Shade's thoughts diverged very quickly, but his main focus was to observe whether there was anything unusual nearby.

When he looked around, he saw two middle-aged gentlemen in black formal suits passing by the garden path beside the grape trellis with wine glasses.They talked about the topic of psychiatry, roughly using holy silverware to hit the back of a person's head to see if it could cure more serious mental illnesses.

Shard saw Dr. Schneider, the same Dr. Schneider with a wine glass.During a chat with friends, he accidentally glanced down the grape trellis and caught sight of the youngest detective in the group.

　PS: Of course, it is impossible for the protagonist to sell [Founding Silver Moon] in the end. Why are so many asked in front (covering his face)? Does this still need an explanation? It is absolutely impossible to sell such an important plot prop with so much pen and ink. dropped.
