Chapter 299 The Out of Control Darkness

[Modern Girl · Flower Shop Girl], color moon 7.When this card is drawn, if the total number of cards in the hand is not more than two, if the opponent holds a king or queen this round, the king and queen will be invalid, and the points will be regarded as 0.

This card is a special card in the new deck launched last year. Shad only heard Baron Lavender talk about it, but he didn't expect to see it.Because of the development of the printing industry driven by the steam industry in recent years, the cards of Rhodes cards have become more and more refined and beautiful. On the [Modern Girl Flower Shop Girl] card, the girl holding a watering can and wearing an apron is watering the plants in the flower pots in the flower shop, which is very in line with Xia De's aesthetics:

"But the luck of this card is based on the luck of the opponent. Unfortunately, I am not that lucky."

Xia De said very modestly, and then said doubtfully:

"Since this card can't work for the time being, you don't actually need to turn over the card. Now, I know your hole card."

"If you draw a special card and don't reveal it, what's the difference from not drawing it?"

The middle-aged man raised his neck and asked, Xia De froze for a moment and did not answer, and drew a second card with Mr. Walker.

Mr. Walker is Sun 9, with a total of 16 points in his hand.And Xia De is still a flower, with 2 points, and a total of 15 points in his hand.

"I continue."

"I'll continue too."

Mr. Walker is Sun 4, totaling 20 points, which makes him smile.Xia De is Moon 5, also a total of 20 points, he narrowed his eyes.

"Well, Mr. Hamilton, do you want to continue?"

Mr. Walker asked, he didn't know Shade's cards, so he didn't know the current situation.But no matter what Shade chooses, there is a high probability that Mr. Harry Walker will not continue to draw. That is to say, unless Shade loses his mind and continues to draw cards, there is a high probability that this round will be a draw.

Xia De thought for a while, glanced at Miss Louisa, and then said softly:
"Want to bet on luck with me? A draw is too boring."

He also turned over his hole cards, revealing 20 points, and looked at Mr. Walker:

"It's all 20 points. Thinking about it, we won't choose to continue drawing cards. Then we might as well try our luck and draw another card. Although there is a high probability that the cards will be busted, there may be someone who is lucky enough to draw 1 point."

Mr. Walker thought about it and thought it was fair:
"Of course, I won't miss this kind of exciting gambling game, so let's agree that we will draw cards in the next round."

He stretched out his hand to reveal his fourth card, the 3 of the suit star, and it was undoubtedly busted:
"Oh, that's right."

The tone was quite regrettable, and it seemed that he was also looking forward to being favored by the god of luck.

Shad also reached out to draw a card, but instead of picking it up from the top of the deck, he pressed it against the top of the deck and flipped it open.His intention was to take a look, then make a sighing expression, press down the card and then draw out [Carson Rick Southern Folklore·Moon Dance Festival].

The Moon Dance Festival is blessed by two ghosts. When the card is in the deck, as long as you want to draw it, you can draw it even if you have seen the card.In contrast, [Origin·Balance] has a similar effect, but it doesn't even need to be in the deck, Shad can draw it if he wants.

When [Carson Rick Southern Folklore·Moon Dance Festival] is drawn, if you hold a card of the moon suit in your hand, and the sum of points does not exceed 7, if the card explodes this round, the total points will be adjusted to 1.Now Xia De only has one Moon 5, which just meets the requirements.

Although this is considered cheating, but this time there is no gambling, even if Mr. Walker loses, there is not much loss.So Xia De opened a corner according to the plan, and sighed immediately after seeing the suits and numbers.

The plan failed, he couldn't press the cards down.

Xia De looked up at the middle-aged man who was playing cards with him, frowned and squinted his eyes and opened the fourth card, using spells to control the floating in the air and show it to the opponent, suit moon 1, Xia De blackjack.

"There is such a thing?"

The middle-aged man was very puzzled, so he grabbed the cards and looked at them for a long time.

As for Xia De, he can be regarded as knowing what kind of luck in a game of cards can be brought by holding two cards of the founding series.

Mr. Walker is willing to gamble and admit defeat, of course, because the stakes are not big.He accepted Miss Louisa's 13 pounds and handed over the rolled parchment.

When referring to the out-of-control angel-level relic information, although he showed reluctance, he still said the news:

"The angel-level relic this time is not an item, but the relic this time is a certain event, do you understand?"

[Relic] is not necessarily an item that actually exists, it may also be a piece of information, an event, or something that is even more difficult to describe in human language.Xia De heard about it the second time he met Dr. Schneider, but it was the first time he knew about the [relic] that was not an item.

"Event? What exactly is it?"

Miss Louisa asked, while Xia De stood aside, looking at the corridor behind them, in case someone suddenly appeared.

"My news may not be correct, you just listen to it as something new."

Mr. Walker counted the money as he spoke:
"The location is in the southeastern town of Tobesk City, but I can't tell you a more specific location. The form of expression is darkness, a darkness that covers the entire area. Outside the area shrouded in darkness, that is, in the normal world , any information about the area covered by darkness will disappear. At the same time, in the area covered by darkness, indescribable creatures will appear continuously, and those creatures will gradually migrate out of the dark area, bringing the darkness to further places."

Mr. Walker shrugged and stuffed the ordered coins into his pocket:
"If you let it go, sooner or later, the darkness brought by those monsters will swallow the entire world. Fortunately, the regular inspection team of the Orthodox Church discovered something was wrong in time. To be exact, there are many inexplicable things on the map of Tobesk City. However, the geographers of the church believed that there could be no plains in the southeast of Tobesk. Although even ring warlocks could not observe the darkness, as long as they knew the approximate range, the church used means to discover the clues .I don’t know the specific name of the relic, nor do I know more detailed information about it, but at least the darkness has been brought under control.”

"Are you sure it's under control? From your description, once this kind of thing gets out of control, we'd better apply to the academy to leave this area."

Miss Lucy said.

"The news I heard is that it is under control, Louisa, you are also a native of Tobesk, and you should know how powerful Mr. 'Steel Right Hand' is. Although the incident of evil spirits a few days ago showed that the Orthodox Church is not omnipotent, But that’s an evil god after all, and it’s different from this matter.”

The middle-aged man waved at the two of them, and he planned to leave:
"Even if the sky of the material world collapses, there will still be support from the Orthodox Church and the Academy, and even if they can't hold on, there will still be the rumored 'God Caller' or similar high-level magicians. Correspondence magicians like us are still there. You should think about your studies carefully, although the exam week is over, but now there are only five months before the end-of-year exams in winter."

He crossed Xia De and left here. Judging from the content of his complaints, the exam weeks of the three major thaumaturgy academies should be at the same time, and this gentleman's grades are obviously not satisfactory.

"Shad, what do you think?"

Miss Louisa ignored Mr. Walker who was leaving, and asked Shad instead.

"If the sky collapses, I can't stand it."

He said with a smile, and then he spoke seriously:

"Although the church failed to stop the god-calling ceremony, if it is just an angel-level relic, I think it should be fine. A few days ago I was in the Prophet Association, and I met Mr. Stan, the president of the association. The Church of God recruited to help deal with the out-of-control relics. Now that he has returned, the matter should be resolved soon."

"I don't think the church can't control the relics out of control, but I feel that so many things have happened in the Tobesk area in just one month. I grew up in this city, and I have never felt that this city has such Danger."

Goldilocks sighed.

The outsider doesn't think that these are all brought about by his arrival, after all, when the darkness appeared, he hadn't come here yet.

The weather is calm tonight, just like Priest Augustus said, the ring warlocks are not so easy to encounter out-of-control relics, and the magic drop incident frightened the ring warlocks in the whole city, and they didn't encounter any strange things this night. people.

He spent a week at home with nothing to do. If he had an accident just after leaving the house, Xia De really had to check to see if something went wrong with him.

Sitting next to Miss Louisa, Xia De chatted with the voice in his heart about the story of the opera performance and singing, and at the same time whispered to the blonde girl about the situation of other correspondence ring magicians in this city.

The opera ends at 09:30 in the evening, and this is the end of tonight's "course". Shade takes Miss Louisa back to Quill Street in the University District where she lives in a carriage.

Miss Louisa hoped that Xia De would not forget that the real purpose of going out tonight was to learn about "Kiss of the Tree", so she talked with him about the influence of "enlightenment" elements on the mind and spirit of ring warlocks on the way.

Later, we talked about Xia De's mythos. Everyone was very tired tonight, and she had no chance to get enlightened by touching the mythos, but Miss Writer thought of another thing:

"Xia De, since you obtained the mystical lock because you left traces in the past, have you opened the second time key? Is there any special experience this time? Or is this time different from the ordinary time key?" Like investigators?"

She finally asked this question, Xia De glanced at the night view of the city outside the window.Today is the first day when the curfew is lifted. There are a lot of people going out to drink, and there are a lot of people throwing up against the wall:
"It's opened, it's the key to the year 3002 of the Fifth Epoch."

Shad said, wondering what a cat might be doing at home alone:
"I met Miss Myrna Filianna in the past."

"Who? Huh? Oh! I see."

The blond girl sitting opposite Xia De whispered, covering her mouth, the exclamation just now was a bit too loud:
"Miss Feilianna Shade, don't talk to me about what you have experienced in the past. The mystery of time is too profound for me. I don't have the power of time. Listening too much to your experience may cause my own Something went wrong."

In a world where occultism exists, Shade's unusual time travel experience itself is already part of abnormal knowledge.Because of the fragility of the mortal Shade, the old god [Innocent Creator] could not reveal more secrets of the era and gods to him.And now, Xia De had better not tell others too much about his time travel experience, this is also considering the fragility of mortals.

"However, if you also want to influence the future from the past this time, so as to give yourself another [Enlightenment] spirit rune, you can tell me what you did afterwards."

Miss Lucy said.

"No, [Enlightenment] probably won't work this time. But if things go well, I may have an extra [Miracle] spirit rune. Oh, and [Youth Leaf], I still need to trouble you to help keep one."

There are no spiritual runes in the rewards of the ancient gods, but once the god-calling ceremony is successful, he may gain power from contacting the old gods [Glazing Gate].

The blonde girl showed a gentle smile:
"That's really good. [Miracle] comes from the past, and [Enlightenment] comes from our courses. Are you ready to promote from the second ring to the third ring in the same month?"

Shad shook his head:
"I don't have any reason to gain strength as soon as possible. Rather than being promoted quickly, I want to make the foundation more solid."

"That's right, we still have a long way to go, so we don't have to go so fast."

Xia De always felt that this sentence seemed strange.
