The Whispering Verses Chapter 2581: Teacher’s praise and dedicated poker players
Chapter 2580 The teacher’s praise and the all-out poker player
Even the loyal witch apprentice couldn't help but look at his teacher when faced with this temptation.
Miss Winslet has been paying attention to the conversation between the two. Although she does not play cards very much, she also knows the name of the "Foundation Series" and she is very considerate of her apprentice:
"Charlotte, then you will play a game with Shade. If you win, you will temporarily help him keep this card. If you lose, I will give the 'Legendary Player' some other prizes. Originally promised You can add one more oil painting to him."
"No, miss, how can I ask you to help me bet? Please let me use my special cards to bet!"
Miss Bell said immediately, her tone of voice was full of anger, and there was no gentleness at all.
Miss Winslet pretended to be angry:
"Is my oil painting not as valuable as your playing cards? Charlotte, I make the decision here, not your cards."
Then she looked at Miss Danister:
"Just think of it as tonight's entertainment. Do you want to guess who can win?"
The red-haired girl smiled and shook her head, because there was no need to guess.
The card game was played here on the sofa. Shade and Miss Bell sat on the short sofas at both ends of the coffee table, and the other two ladies sat on the long sofa to act as referees.
The game adopts the most classic points system, with a total of three rounds. The winning score is 1 point, the loss is 0 points, and the busted card is -1 point. This requires that the cards should not be blown as much as possible during the game.
When the two of them were exchanging decks and shuffling them, Shade also declared in advance:
"I currently have 38 special rule cards in my deck. If you think this is unfair, I can take out some of the special cards and just keep the founding series."
Since there were more than thirty special rule cards in the deck, Shade had never used a "full" deck to play cards with others, even in Tobesk's spare time.
Miss Bell looked down at Shade's deck of cards in her hand and was startled for a moment, then quickly shook her head and "snatched" the deck from Shade's hand:
"Keep all the special cards. I want to try it out. There are a total of six special cards in my deck, including [Racial Legend・Elf]."
After both parties shuffled the cards, the game officially began. Both of their decks were spread out in a fan shape on the coffee table, and then they each took out their first two cards.
"Speaking of which, what does Carina think of you playing cards?"
The witch on the side asked Shade curiously.
"I don't smoke or drink, and my usual hobbies are just raising cats and playing cards occasionally, and she doesn't mind. Carina often says that my life is too monotonous, but I really don't like other things."
Xia De looked at the bright card in his hand——
[Phantom Opera House·Silent Audience], color: Moon 12. If when this card is drawn, the previous card is also the moon suit, all players except yourself are forced to stop playing in this round.
He showed the card to the girl across the table, and then inserted the card into the gap between the first hidden card and the top of the coffee table.
"Don't you also like operas and concerts? Or horse racing, salons, and banquets? Look at your face and perfect figure. Even if the noble girls in Tobesk knew that you were Carina's lover, they would definitely I slipped you a note. Oh, you received a handkerchief or underwear at the party."
The witch teased, then was patted by the red-haired girl.
"Compared to having a party, I prefer reading at home in the evening."
As he spoke, Shade opened his first hidden card and showed the card with the man in black facing the bubbles in the boundless sea of stars:
"Sorry, [Creation·Space], color: Moon 10.
After drawing this card and before the suspension phase, you can choose whether to activate the effect only once: throw a coin, if it is heads, the opponent will discard the first card and the last card at this time, and draw a new card; if If it is tails, exchange your first card with any non-moon suit card shown by your opponent. ”
Miss Bell covered her mouth. The black-haired girl looked at the card with her eyes wide open, with an inexplicable flush on her face:
"This is true"
"Xia De, 12+10=22, you busted."
The red-haired girl reminded, Shade smiled and nodded:
"But aren't there still rules that can be activated? I choose to activate the effect of [Origin Space]."
He looked at the cards in Miss Charlotte Bell's hand opposite him. The hidden card had not yet been revealed, and the open card was the common card Sun 9.
So he dug out a coin from his pocket, threw it casually, caught it, and then showed the result that the coin turned up on its back.
"Exchange my first card with Miss Bell's 9 of the Sun."
He handed over the playing cards, and the girl, whose right hand was trembling a little, took the [Origin Space] and handed over her 9 of the Sun.
"My current point is 9+12=21, suspension. Miss Bell, according to the rules of [Phantom Opera House Silent Audience], you must also suspend your trading now. What is your point?"
"I lost."
She showed the hidden card with the suit "Star 7", her eyes still staring at the [Origin Space] that Shade exchanged for her.
Miss Winslet on the side shook her head, as if regretting that the first round ended so quickly:
"Xia De, you said you only like to read at night? Is this because your teacher is present, so you want to express yourself?"
"Xia De is indeed very diligent."
The red-haired girl sitting next to her helped Shade defend herself:
"Shadek is an outstanding student of the college. He also won the college's 'Feliana Medal' at the end of last year. He is not only talented but also very hardworking. I know this better than anyone else."
Miss Winslet held the teacup and turned slightly to look at her:
"So you conclude that your students are ascetic figures?"
Originally Miss Danister wanted to nod, but thinking about Shade’s complicated love life, she had to admit:
"The only difference between him and the ascetic is that he has almost no resistance to beautiful girls."
Miss Winslet thought she was talking about Cavendish, but actually she was talking about Cavendishes.
At the beginning of the second round, Shade and Miss Bell drew cards again. Of course, [Origin Space] is still in Miss Bell's hands at this time, and she wants to wait until the game is over before returning it to Shade.
Xia De's up card is the ordinary card "Star 2", and he glanced at the hidden card and it is also the suit of stars:
[Ayoto 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.
Shad thought for a while and then showed this card:
"I am now at 12+2=14 points."
Miss Bell looked at the "championship card" with wide eyes again, and then also showed the two cards in her hand:
"Sun 13 and flower 6, 19 o'clock, I stop trading."
"Then do you want to continue drawing cards?"
The witch holding the teacup asked Shade, who of course nodded:
"Continue to draw cards, I am still very adventurous [Creation·Knowledge], suit: Flower 1."
He showed his third card, which has extremely complicated rules:
"The effect is activated according to the number of cards in the hand when this card was drawn. This is the third card, so effect 3 is activated: You can choose whether to force the opponent's total points to be reduced by 3, I choose yes. My total points are now It’s 12+2+1=15 points.”
Miss Bell looked at the card, took it into her hand and watched it carefully for a moment after getting permission:
"I am now 19-3=16 points."
"You are still in the suspension stage, I choose to continue drawing cards."
As he said that, he went to get the next card, opened it and laughed:
"[Life Ceremony・Wedding], suit color: flower 5. Throw two 20-sided dice. If the difference between the numbers is less than or equal to 2, the card points can be adjusted between 4 and 5.
I don’t have to throw the dice. After all, no matter what result I throw, I win. It’s just the difference between 19 points and 20 points. ”
Miss Bell pursed her lips and nodded, then looked at the two "Foundation Series" in her hand:
"In this way, your points have reached two points. In the next game, unless you burst the card at the beginning - 1 point, and I did not burst the card at the beginning, it will count 1 point, otherwise I will lose anyway."
"So there are too many special cards in the deck. Even if the special rules of most cards are triggered strictly, it will still make the game very boring."
Xia De said and went to touch the cards again, but unexpectedly the witch apprentice looked at him seriously and shook her head:
"It's not boring at all, Mr. Hamilton, it's the most interesting card game I've ever had.
For ordinary players like us, it is a dream to be able to play even one card from the Founding Series with you, let alone play against your Heyday deck.
It's boring for you, but for me, it's as exciting as every sparring session with the lady - I'm really sorry that I couldn't let you use your full strength. ”
Shad believed that his expression must be strange at this moment, because Miss Winslet and Miss Danist both covered their mouths and chuckled.
"This apology is unnecessary."
As he said this, the third round officially began. When he saw the bright card in his hand [Founder, Silver Moon] and the lady sitting on a high stool holding up the moon, he couldn't help but smile. For a moment, then he shook his head nostalgically:
"Look at this, this is the first special rule card I got. It's simple and practical, and you can adjust the number within the range of 1 to 5."
Then he was about to reveal his secret card, but was stopped by the girl opposite:
"Sorry, please look at this!"
She smiled reservedly and showed her hand to Shade. On the card was a looming figure under the clock tower in the thick fog:
"[Urban Legend·Murder in the Mist], suit: Moon 11. When this card is drawn, if this card is the second card and all players have not checked the first dark card, all players You cannot view your first hidden card before declaring your side's suspension, and all players must draw the third card. ”
"I have a Moon 4 [Urban Legend·Non-Existent Street]. Is your card a luck card?"
Xia De understood:
"This card itself has 11 points. Without knowing the first card, the possibility of drawing the third card to blow it up is not small."
