Chapter 1373 The clue on the top of the mountain

Mr. Erfurt said very seriously, and Shade drew out the [Great City Player, 12 Tobesk Champion] with a suit of 1853 stars, and showed it to him on the snow:
"I was the big city player champion last year, and I have a lot of special cards in my deck."

Mr. Erfurt clapped his hands in surprise and laughed:
"The champion of 1853, yes, 1853 is the year of the big city players. I actually forgot that I had no possibility to play cards with the big city player champion. I didn't expect such an opportunity after death. It doesn't matter. Please use all your special cards, this is the only way to respect the Rhodes cards and the dignity of the players. Life is truly amazing, it is such a wonderful encounter to die here."

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 it on the snow, and stopped Little Mia who wanted to catch the dice:

"What rules to use?"

"It's simpler, the first to win twice wins."

Mr. Erfurt suggested that this is the simplest rule and represents the purest Rhodes card.

"no problem."

There is no referee in this card game, and naturally there is no need to check each other's decks.The two people sitting opposite each other in the snow put their respective cards on the right hand side, and then drew out the first hidden card together.

"Speaking of which, I'm curious. It's so far away from the city. Mr. Erfurt, did you come all the way because there is anything worth noting nearby?"

asked Shad, and then drew a second card with Herr Erfurt.Shade's second card is the newly acquired Moon 12 [Phantom Opera House Silent Audience].When this card was also of the moon suit, the opponent could be forced to stop the card, but it was a pity that Shade took a look at his hole card, and the hole card was the sun 4, which also had no effect. Festival】.

The Moon Dance Festival requires that when this card is drawn, there is a card of the moon suit in the hand to play the effect, so it has no effect as the first card.

"Look, you actually drew a special card in one go."

The soul said in amazement, staring at the moon 12 and reading the rules with great interest.After hearing that this is a new themed deck issued in 1854, I became even more interested:

"My special card was also drawn from the Prophet Association on the first day the card was released."

"It's four o'clock."

Xia De was thinking in his heart, indicating that he would draw a third card, and Mr. Erfurt would continue to draw cards:
"Yes, I came here to investigate, because there are places worth noting here. I heard from people in the town that there is a very ancient temple ruins nearby, on a certain mountain."

The two drew out the third card together, Xia De frowned slightly, Star 4, although it has a special pattern, it is not a special rule card:

"I stand, Mr. Erfurt, I'm at 20."

He reveals his three cards:

"You are right. There is indeed an ancient temple nearby, on the mountain over there. But it is not a sacrifice to the earth, but a sacrifice to the night."

"Is that so? It seems that there is something wrong with the news I got."

Soul said with some annoyance, and stretched out his hand to draw his fourth card:

"Let me see my luck. Busted."

星辰5、星辰12、太阳2以及月亮7。前三张牌是19点，可惜最后的运气不够好。

The four cards drawn by Mr. Erfurt were dropped on the tiger, and Shad's three cards were placed on Mia.

The soul continued:

"However, temples dedicated to the night are really rare. Usually, the night is worshiped together with the moon. I heard that there is a protected relic of worshiping the moon on the outskirts of the city. Unfortunately, I have no chance to see it."

Xia De felt more and more sorry for him:
"So did you find anything interesting nearby before your accident?"

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

"Yes, in order to find the ruins of the temple that the townspeople said, I climbed the mountain over there."

Mr. Erfurt stretched out his finger and looked at the direction, which happened to be the direction of the Temple of the Dark Night:

"I confirmed that I was looking for the right place. As the townspeople said, there is indeed a cave at the bottom of the mountain. But I climbed to the top of the mountain, but I couldn't see the ruins of the temple and the arch."

The two drew their second card together, Xia De looked at the card and laughed:

"[Great City Player 1853 Tobesk Champion], Suit: Star 12. When you draw this card, you have the right to view a hidden card that your opponent has not revealed."

"I didn't expect to meet it."

Mr. Erfurt said excitedly, temporarily put aside the second card he drew, "Flower 1", and then showed his hole card:

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

On the face of the card, there is a beautiful girl with a broom, an apron and a headscarf, dancing solo in front of the fireplace.Although the card surface is black and white, the exquisite pattern is still surprising.

"The Prophet Association is already planning to launch colored cards, and I am looking forward to seeing the colored cards."

Shade said.

[Ancient Fairy Tale·Cinderella], Color: Moon 3.If this card is the first hole card, if the final point is equal to 19 points, it will be adjusted to 20 points.If this card is the last card, if the final point is equal to 18 points, it will be adjusted to 19 points.

"Ancient Fairy Tales Series."

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly:
"I also have two cards from the Ancient Fairy Tale series."

[Ancient Fairy Tales: Match Girl] originally belonged to Shad's friend, Baron Lavender, who was won by Shad from the Baron Rwanda at the Lake View Manor, and temporarily placed in Shad's hands.But then Baron Lavender promised Shad that if Shad won the Big City Players Championship, that card would belong to Shad. The Baron apparently also bet a lot in the fall;
As for [Ancient Fairy Tales: Sleeping Princess], it was won by Earl Dallak of Canberra, the "third nail" that Shad drove into the real world from the narrow gap when he was in Castle Midhill. Later, he appeared again to help him on the night of the Battle of Sika Mountain, and Shad still remembered the earl's sword skills.

"But Cinderella means."

Shad hesitated for a moment, and Mr. Erfurt explained:

"This is another name for an ancient fairy tale. You must have heard of the popular name of this fairy tale today, "Grey's Crystal Slipper" or "The Princess on the Pumpkin Carriage."

Xia De smiled:
"I've heard, I've heard that it's really this."

He also showed his first hidden card, even though he could have done otherwise:

"Then I flipped the cards too, and here it is."

[Founding·Silver Moon] Design and color: Sun 3.With this tile, numbers can be adjusted from 1 to 5.

Shade currently has a total of 15 points, and he does not use the rules for adjusting the number of cards in his hand for the time being.And Mr. Erfurt is at 4 o'clock, which is far from the end.

The chat is over for the time being, and both of them are very concerned about the next card draw.

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

"Surprisingly, Star 2. I suspended the card and adjusted Sun 3's [Founding Silver Moon] to Sun 5, 5+12+2, and my total points are 19 points."

"It's really a good choice."

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

"The flower is 13, and I am 17."

Xia De nodded:
"If you draw 2 points next, adjust 19 to 20, you win. If you draw 3 or 4, both of which are bigger than me, you can also win."

Soul looked at the pile of cards in his hand, and took out the next card:

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

He smiled and shook his head, not caring at all:
"It's already very satisfying. It's already very satisfying to be able to have a wonderful match with the champion of the big city player, and even to see the founding series."

He gathered his cards and handed them to Shad:
"They belong to you."

"Thank you."

Xia De took the cards and stood up with the soul, and the tiger also stood up.It presumably realized what was going to happen, wandering around on either side of the soul.

Mr. Erfurt stroked the tiger's fur, and then said to Shad:
"This time, please don't kill it."

"Ok."

Xia De nodded, then rummaged in his pocket, found a piece of raw meat toy, restored it and threw it on the ground.Among the toys he carries, food is the most.

Herr Erfurt then said to the tiger standing on the snow:

"I let you go this time, but if you hurt someone because of it, it's my fault. For the sake of the two years we've lived together, go to the mountains and forests. I hope you haven't forgotten your hunting instinct."

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

Mr. Erfurt sighed, his body gradually became transparent.Xia De stretched out his hand to draw a black crack, so that he could leave as soon as possible:
"Actually, you did not find the wrong place, but what you are looking for is not the top of the mountain, but after entering the cave, climb from the inside of the cave to the top. Fortunately, you did not enter the cave, it is very dangerous there."

Soul shook his head slightly:

"It's not important anymore. It was something that happened when I was alive. I found some interesting traces on the top of that mountain. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

He bowed slightly to Xia De, and then the spirit body disintegrated into light spots and flew towards the crack.Shade watched Mr. Erfurt's soul appear on the calm and dark water in the distance, and walked towards the dark moon together with thousands of souls.

The cracks closed, and Xia De picked out the [Ancient Fairy Tale Cinderella] from Moon 3 and added it to his deck. Then he held Miya with one hand and looked at the mountains in the distance:
"Is that the top of that mountain?"
