Chapter 238 Lively Party
As soon as Eddie entered the auditorium from the foyer, his attention was immediately attracted by the crowd gathered around the long table. Driven by curiosity, he walked over there to see what everyone was doing there.
“What are you doing here?” Eddie asked the Ravenclaw senior beside him in a low voice.
“Attend the Wizarding Card Club gathering.” The Ravenclaw senior deliberately lowered his voice and said, “I heard that the winner of this year’s first Wizarding Card Competition has ten galleons.”
“Wizard card, what is that?” Eddie had never heard of wizard card, so he stepped on the chair, stretched his neck and looked into the crowd. Unfortunately, there were so many people watching that it was impossible to see what those people inside were doing.
The Wizard Card Club at the end of the month will undoubtedly attract everyone's attention. There's no way it can be helped. No matter who sees a bunch of people gathering together and not knowing what they are doing, their curiosity will always be aroused.
“It’s more lively than the previous two times!” Fred couldn’t help but exclaimed, while George opposite was introducing the new wizard card content to everyone.
As more and more members join the club, more and more people want to have their own cards, and more and more new cards are added.
“Quiet, it’s question time!” Albert raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet, then he randomly picked someone and asked, “What questions do you have?”
“When will the genuine cards be completely updated?” The Ravenclaw girl couldn’t help but ask, “I mean it will look like this.”
The card in her hand is the wizard card she just got. It is quite exquisite. For students who already like this casual game, they hope to have a set of exquisite and complete wizard cards instead of using those rough ones. homemade cards.
"This...I'm afraid we still need to wait for another year or two. After the technology for making wizard cards is completely mature, we can create higher-quality cards." Albert thought for a while and comforted, "Don't worry, everyone, the wizard cards are This card game has just begun, and we are already making improvements. You should be able to feel that the cards we are using now are much better than a few months ago, right?"
“How can we get new cards after the Wizard cards come out?” Someone asked expectantly, “Will they be provided by the club for free?”
"We will sell initial cards and card packs, or give them away through other channels. The situation is similar to chocolate frog cards. You can get them by collecting them." Albert reassured: "I think you don't need to worry now. Because of that situation, it will take at least several years. The current wizard cards still have many areas that need everyone to work together to improve. We will also add more card elements, such as certain magical creatures, magic items, and famous names in the magic world. historical events and various camp-exclusive cards.”
“In the future, the wizard card camp will not be limited to Hogwarts Academy, it will involve the entire British wizarding world. Of course, this is something that will only happen in the future, and it is meaningless to talk about it now.”
“What about the price?” someone asked.
“It won’t be expensive, but we will produce some gold cards with particularly fine workmanship. These precious cards will be limited in quantity, and whether you can get them depends on your luck.”
“You, well, it’s you.” Albert raised his hand to pick the freckled boy who raised his hand.
"I heard that the winner of the Wizarding Card Competition has ten galleons." The boy swallowed, a little afraid of the looks of others around him.
“Ten galleons, just this bottle of potion?” Many people are curious about what the potion in the glass bottle is, and it is actually worth ten galleons.
"This is Baffy's brain-refreshing potion. Some of you may have heard that drinking it can keep people's minds active for several hours." Albert raised the bottle so that everyone could see it more clearly. He continued: "Of course, you can rest assured. I have used it myself, and it is definitely not some messy potion. By the way, the use of Bafe Brain Refresher is prohibited during the exam, otherwise it will be considered cheating."
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can choose ten Galleons." George left a money bag on the table and opened it in public, revealing the Galleons inside. "The choice of the champion is very flexible. Of course, the quota for this time There are only 32, and the entry fee is 2 Sickles. Of course, even if you win the runner-up or third place, there will be consolation prizes, so you will definitely not suffer."
“Are you also participating in the competition?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
"As the organizer of the Wizard Card Club, we will not participate in the competitions we organize, otherwise how can everyone have fun?" Albert shook his head.
“If we want to get a quota for the competition, who should we sign up for? And aren’t 32 quotas too few?” someone asked again.
"The number of applicants now exceeds 32. Our suggestion is that you sign up for the first time and then think carefully. After the Christmas holiday, we will officially determine the number of entries. The wizard card competition will be held on the weekend and a lottery will be used. The opponents will be drawn, and the best-of-three rounds will be eliminated. The cards for the game will also be provided by us. We will give you three wizard cards, and you need to choose one from them. This process will continue until you have completely assembled the cards for your own use. The selected cards cannot be changed and will be used until the end of the entire game, so luck and the ability to form cards are very important." Albert took out three cards, spread them out on the table, and asked the onlookers Everyone can see clearly how to choose the cards at that time.
“Why can’t you use your own deck?” someone couldn’t help but complain.
"Because that's unfair, the game must be fair competition." Before Albert could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.
“What are you doing here?”
Albert raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. It was Professor Smith.
"I'm introducing the new wizard card to everyone." Albert looked at Professor Smith without any intention of hiding it, and handed over the rest of the matter to Lee Jordan.
“What is the wizard card?”
“A game I invented.” Albert handed a card to Professor Smith and explained: At the end of every month, the Wizard Card Club will have a gathering. "
“Party now? It seems that this game is very popular!” Professor Smith turned around and looked around. There were really many students gathered here.
“Everyone really likes this game.” Albert said without hesitation
“But why use real people?” Smith asked doubtfully, “By the way, do you have my cards?”
"Not yet." Albert said directly, "The cards in the wizard card all record real people and real events. It is inspired by the chocolate frog card."
