Whispering Poems

Chapter 1561
Just now Xia De proposed to bet on special cards, and this proposal was naturally agreed by the two brothers.What Shade took out was [Circus Tragedy·Headless Clown] won from a circus magician in the country tavern in Randall Valley. : Activate the effect after the game is over, remove this card, add 3 to the total points of the player, this effect must be activated.

Mr. Eric Furren, who wears a monocle in his right eye, and Mr. Charles Furren, who wears a monocle in his left eye, took out [Shakadi Story·Love of Wine] and [Xia Kedi's Story·Love of Wine] and [Xia Kedi Story]. Cardi's Story: Mrs. Misty].

[Shakadi Story·Wine Love], flower 4, if the number of cards with the same number in the hands of all players is zero at the end of the game, you can adjust the card points between 4 and 5.

[Shakadi's Story·Misty Lady], flower 3, if the sum of all players' hand numbers is less than or equal to (number of players) x 17 at the end of the game, you can add 1 to your total points.

"Shakadi Tales" is an ancient collection of stories formed in the early Sixth Era in the southern region of Carson Rik.It contains a variety of themes such as fairy tales and fables. It is a very old storybook.Shade once saw Star 1's [Shakadi Story Collection: Frozen Love] (Chapter 1236) in the hands of Stone Oxenfurt. related to the hand condition.

After defeating Stone Oxenfurt, Shad also wanted to find his Rhodes card deck. After all, only Shad knew that there was a star 1 in his deck. Episode: Frozen Love] and Flower 5's [Carson Rick Horror Stories: Undead Maria].But unfortunately, the deck of cards was not on Oxenfurt at the time, and after the Battle of Randall Valley, Oxenfurt Manor was seized by the Church, so Shad failed to get the spoils.

But thinking about it now, "Frozen Love" and "Undead Maria" seem to be hinting at the end of Shad, Oxenfurt's story from the very beginning.

"How about we go with the most basic multiplayer rules?"

Mr. Eric Fullan suggested while shuffling the cards:
"There are 3 rounds in total, 2 points for the winner of each round, 1 point for the loser but no card explosion, 0 points for the bust card, and a tie is considered the winner. After three rounds, the total score will be calculated. If the score is the same, there will be an extra match. wheel."

Xia De smiled and nodded:

"Of course no problem. I haven't played a multiplayer game for a long time. Then the person with the highest total score will take away the special card of the last person in the total score. The person with the second total score does not have to pay his own special card. Going to check out after the game."

He added, and of course the Furren brothers nodded in agreement.

After each of the three shuffled the cards, they exchanged and checked the decks.The one who got the Shade deck was his younger brother Charles Furlan, who wore a monocle in his left eye.He looked at the special cards in Shade's deck in surprise:
"My God, half of this is a special card, right?"

Since he was playing as Shad Hamilton, Shad had all the special cards in his deck.He shook his head and said quite modestly:
"Not half, only 26 special cards so far."

"There are 54 cards in the whole deck. In other words, if you win against us, then your special cards will be exactly half."

Mr. Eric Furren said, and then saw his younger brother showing an even more surprised expression:
"Oh, this card is."

He saw the [Genesis·Earth] card, because the Prophet Association had just completed the identification of this card, and the news had not yet spread, so only a few people knew that another founding card fell into Shad's hands.

"Yes, it has been identified and is genuine."

Xia De said again with a natural expression, so Mr. Charles Furren showed an expression of awe.

"What do you see?"

Mr. Eric Furren asked curiously, but his younger brother did not answer:
"If you are lucky, my brother, you will see it in a while. I hope you will not be too surprised. Mr. Hamilton, your deck is fine. This is really an eye-opener for me. I think there must be many people Even if it costs money, I want to see your deck, let alone touch it with my own hands."

He returned Shad's deck to him.

The three gentlemen each took a sip of their own drinks. The sunshine in the suburbs was very strong at noon in early spring. They didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or the upcoming card game. They all felt a little hot in their backs.

At this moment, another police force passed the market path outside the Terrace Tavern, and at the same time, well-informed people were spreading gossip in the market about the "Assassination of the Earl" that had just happened, but it had nothing to do with the gentlemen playing cards .

In the decks of the two Mr. Furrens, there are three special cards.After the inspection, the three decks were placed on the table together, and then everyone drew out the first card, covering it on the table, and then reached out to take out the second card, and only then checked the points of the cards.

"speak up"

Xia De lifted the second card and saw that it was Moon 9, then inserted this Moon 9 into the gap between the first hidden card and the table, and picked up the first card and put it in front of his eyes.Carefully move the moon 9 until the flower 9 is revealed.

Flower 9, [Legend of the Brave · Bard Fletcher], when this card is drawn, if this card is the first card, it has no effect.Therefore, Shade's two cards had 18 points. He knocked on the table to signal that he should stop the cards, but he didn't reveal his hidden cards either:
"Mr. Furren, what do you think of that Earl Lewis? I heard that his reputation is not very good, and there seemed to be some people talking about him just now. Oh, this is not to let you speak ill of him behind his back, but to him Curious. The last time we met at the opera, did he think something of me? I held out my hand and he didn't even shake it."

Mr. Eric Furren and his younger brother drew the third card together, and said very cautiously:
"Some of the rumors are still true. Well, most of them are true. I don't like to speak ill of people behind their backs, but Earl Lewis... in terms of the relationship between men and women, there are indeed big problems. We must all admit that , He does have a set of political skills, and he is quite loyal to Carson Rik, so this time he led the team to visit the Pearl of the North Kingdom. No one is perfect, but the Earl has some big shortcomings."

He chose to stand on the third card, while Mr. Charles Foran looked at his hand and was still hesitating:
"My brother is right, and there is another point. Earl Lewis is very arrogant. He has a natural prejudice against the northerners. Please allow me to apologize to you on his behalf, Mr. Hamilton. He didn't mean to target you, but he just said I'm really sorry, but for all Delarion people."

夏德笑了一下，然后查尔斯·福伦先生也宣布停牌。三人一起掀开各自的底牌，夏德是9+9=18点，埃里克福伦先生是8+5+5也是18点。而刚才犹豫着的查尔斯·福伦先生，则是10+1+6=17点。

"Sure enough, I should take the risk and try again."

The gentleman with the monocle over his left eye sighed, then threw the three cards in his hand aside, and the three of them started the second round together.

"After the Tobesk incident is over, are you going to return to Willendale? The spring here is very beautiful. If you have time, it is definitely not a waste of time to stay and take a look."

Although the outsider has never seen Tobesk's spring, he still suggested this.

Mr. Charles Furren nodded, and looked at the scenery of the market while taking the cards. The scenery outside the early spring city is really beautiful:
"We have also heard of the spring scenery of the Pearl of the North. It is said that the city is full of fog, but the sky outside the city is more charming than the blue paint mixed by the best painters. Look, the sky is this color now. But unfortunately, we still have a mission. I think you also know that the negotiations in the Pantanal region are about to start, and after leaving Tobesk, we will go directly to the border."

Now that the venue of the talks between the two countries has been announced, it is not a hidden topic.

"That's a pity."

Xia De looked at the two cards in his hand, and then drew a third card:
"I haven't been to Green Lake City and Mikaela Blast Furnace City yet. I heard that the scenery there is also very good. I saw the photo of the legendary glass blast furnace in the book, which is really spectacular."

"Glass blast furnace" is not a blast furnace made of glass, but a blast furnace made of glass. "Michela Blast Furnace City" itself is famous for making glass products, and the ancient blast furnace located in the city center is the symbol of that city.

"You must go and see it when you have time. You can't tell anything just by looking at the photos."

Mr. Eric Furren nodded and said, Mr. Charles Furren did not draw the third card:
"Compared to Mikaela Blast Furnace City, Green Lake City in De La Rion is older, but its development status is worse. The two cities are so close to each other, but the situation is almost completely different. I really want to investigate Let’s take a look at the relationship between the cities on both sides and the relationship between economics and trade.”

The three of them stopped drawing cards, and Xia De showed his cards with a smile:
"It seems that I got lucky this time. My third card is this. Sun 10, [Original Steam Engine Mark Nine], when you draw this card, if you already have at least two cards in your hand, And if all the cards are of sun suit, the number of this card can be adjusted within 9 or 10."

And Shade's first two cards are Sun 5 and Sun 7's [Southern City Randall Valley].The special rule of the latter requires that there is still a card with a point of 7 in the hand, so the activation condition is not met:
“将太阳10调整为太阳9，这样一来，我的点数就是9+5+7=21点。”
