"It is indeed a closed loop, including my previous experiences..."
Xia De nodded and looked at the silent black-robed **** across the table:
"Before you declare the game officially over, may I ask some questions."
He tried to make his attitude more respectful, but the **** still didn't speak, so Xia De could only try to ask directly:
"About the impermanence of everything..."
"They come from the very beginning, the very beginning, the origin of everything, and they will also go to the key point of everything."
The black-robed **** at the table seemed to only say "yes", and this passage was uttered by corpses of varying degrees of decay by the wall.
"initial?"
Shad looked at the corpses on the wall in turn, while Mr. Riddle asked curiously:
"What first?"
"Can't you hear? Oh, well then."
Since the gods didn't want Mr. Riddle to hear it, he didn't explain it.
"Future man, have you ever thought about it?"
The skull skeleton asked a question. There was a rusted one-handed sword beside him, and he didn't know how many years it had been lying here.
"Why, the rules of the [Vientiane Impermanence Card] you saw are the rules of point competition?"
This is the highly corrupted female corpse asking the question. All the jewelry on her body has been rotten, except for the gemstone brooch in front of the heart that seems to be fused with flesh and blood.
"Why?"
"The events of the Sixth Epoch haven't happened yet, so I don't know."
Said the male corpse wearing a yellow soft hat who seemed to have just died.
Xia De looked at its tightly closed eyes again. He was sure that the gods must know the reason. The [Innocent Creator] also said that he did not know the future, but in fact, until he left for a long time, everything was still there. Everything is going on under His arrangement.
"Could it be that...the rules of the Vientiane Impermanence card are points competitions, which only happened in the sixth era? In the older years, the rules on the Vientiane Impermanence card were not Rhodes card rules at all? Rules like [the venue turns into night when you enter]?"
He got no answer, but that silence was an attitude in itself.
"But why? What is the purpose of these cards, these games?"
He wondered, but still couldn't get an answer.
Twenty minutes was about to come to an end. Seeing that the **** was unwilling to give more hints, Xia De could only give up asking. The friendliness of [Creator of Innocence] comes from Xia De's help and his identity as a "child", and the friendliness of [Blazing Gate] comes from Xia De's relationship with [Father of the Infinite Tree].
Not all gods are willing to help, as Shad had learned long ago. The only pity is that he actually thought that if he had enough time, he could gamble the Rhodes card with God, it must be very interesting, but the time is not enough.
Just as the idea of "gambling the Lords card with God" came to mind, the black robe opposite Mr. Riddle suddenly moved. The hand in the sleeve seemed to shake, and the only card on the table that was not broken [Future Man] flew in front of God.
Afterwards, some shards of light floated out from the other sixteen cards, forming two new cards together, one with a witch on it, and one with a full-body portrait of Mr. Riddle. Three cards are arranged side by side, back side up. The sleeve of the black card was swept away, and the blank back of the card became the holy emblem of the God of Gambling.
They changed positions rapidly at a speed that could not be discerned by the naked eye, and then stopped suddenly. Now, even Mr. Riddle knew that the gods asked Xia De to guess which card the [Man of the Future] was.
"Try it quickly."
Knowing that he could go home already, Mr. Riddle, who had no burden, urged him expectantly.
"Which one is it?"
Xia De asked in his heart.
[I don’t know, that’s not an ordinary exchange of positions. All you can rely on is your luck. 】
After hesitating for a moment, his eyes lingered on the three cards:
"First from the right."
Pointing to the right, and almost simultaneously with Mr. Riddle, he leaned over to look. The first card on the right is turned over, it is the card [Future Man].
"It seems that your luck is really good."
Mr. Riddle praised with a smile.
The two cards that were not selected turned into light and flew towards Xia De, but Xia De did not stop them, allowing them to enter his body from his forehead.
The first is the one with "Witch" on the card face:
[Outlander, you feel a "miracle". 】
[You have been blessed. 】
【Lucky once, the next time you engage in gambling-related activities, you will definitely get the highest luck. 】
Those witches who appeared in the "Gamble of Life" should all believe in this god, and this blessing represents a help that God gave to Xia De.
Then came the one with "Mr. Riddle" on it:
[Outlander, you feel a "miracle". 】
[Mortal luck, from now on, in any gambling game, you can show unusual luck. 】
Mr. Riddle can indeed be said to be the luckiest mortal Shade has ever known, and this trait probably makes the very unlucky Dr. Schneider very envious.
"But does 'this moment' mean now?"
Shad pointed to himself.
"Still now?"
Shad pointed to the ground again.
"This is a reward for your courage."
The voice came from across the table, and Xia De raised his head in disbelief. This time it was He who spoke, and it was the Common Tongue of Delarion of the Sixth Epoch.
To be honest, Xia De suspected that what he played [Life Game] with the two was actually just a robe, but this sentence undoubtedly showed that "He" was really there all the time. The power when the sound appears, space and time seem to be condensed at this moment.
God has always been on the other side of the table, and He really has a hand in the game.
"If you are in the same era as me, I am willing to let you be my divinely favored one."
He said softly, as if stating a fact. Mr. Riddle still couldn't hear this passage, so it was very strange that Xia De's face changed several times in just half a minute.
"So everything is impermanent..."
"This is the deepest secret of the ancient gods. It is even more important than the world itself. It concerns everything. Go and collect them, unexpected people. When you get all thirteen Impermanence cards, even when the final In the end, when you face the most terrible end, at least give you the last consolation."
"but......"
"The game of life is over!"
The corpses by the wall announced loudly together in an opera-like tone:
"Sledge Riddle wins!"
The 16 broken cards on the gaming table turned into dots of light and penetrated into Mr. Riddle's body. He doesn't seem to be able to see these lights, but Xia De can feel that this is the purest spirit.
If you are a witch or a ring warlock, you can use these powers to increase the upper limit of your own spirit and elements without obtaining the spirit rune. Ordinary people can also rely on this purest power to purify the body at the moment the spirit enters the body, prolong life, expel curses, and sober the soul.
This is a reward for beating the gods in the game of gambling. The influence of everything here on Mr. Riddle will surely go away.
As for the only card that was not broken, the [Man from the Future], which represented the encounter between Shad and Mr. Riddle, flew to Shad from before the gods.
Xia De stretched out his hand to pinch it, and found that although this card was the same size as the Rhodes card, it was made of a very light strange metal material. Feel carefully, the metal card does not have any extraordinary power, although it is exquisite, it is just an ordinary item.
"Souvenir, you played pretty well."
The **** under the black robe said, Xia De smiled, and stuffed the metal card into his pocket. Although this souvenir is not as useful as Miss Fei Lianna's notes, it is still a gift from the gods anyway.
At the same time, an unexplained light replaced the oil lamp and candlestick on the table, completely illuminating the room, and the depressing atmosphere disappeared, representing the complete end of the game.
In the dark corner behind the god, opposite to the door Shad entered, another door appeared. This door should be the passage for Mr. Riddle to leave the Dreadfort.
And the official end of the game means that Xia De will bid farewell to this era forever. He felt the pull behind him, and the white mist was seeping out from behind him.
"Mr. Riddle, may [Mr. Huan] and [Father of the Infinite Tree] bless you and me."
Xia De once again grabbed the hand of the ancient prophet and shook it lightly. The latter asked in surprise:
"what are you up to?"
He saw that Shad seemed to be saying goodbye:
"Are you leaving too?"
"I'm going to face my fear."
Xia De looked at the door he came from ~www.mtlnovel.com~ with a smile on his face:
"I have one more thing to settle, Mr. Riddle, please get out of here. I'm not sure what's behind the door will affect you when I open it."
Although [Box of Darkness] is not in his hand, Xia De still wants to try to face the extreme fear, maybe it will be useful.
"Well, I am really glad to have met you, sir. I wish you all the best in your time, and may God bless us."
He gave Shad a hug, and the two nodded at last, and Mr. Riddle hurried around the stone table to the other side of the room.
Xia De also turned around and ran towards the door, because the pulling feeling of the white mist behind him was getting stronger and stronger.
The light in the room gradually weakened around the quaint stone table with twenty grooves. The candles and oil lamps were extinguished at the same time, and the **** disappeared silently into the darkness. As the darkness spreads from the center of the room to the surroundings, the position near the wall is the brightest.
Mr. Shad and Mr. Riddle approached the doors on both sides of the room respectively, and turned their heads at the last moment to look at their friends who had been together for an hour:
"Farewell, Mr. Riddle."
"I wish you luck in your life."
They said their final farewells before darkness engulfed the edges of the room, and each broke open the door in front of them. There was a white light behind Mr. Riddle's door, and he rushed in without hesitation. Shade vaguely heard the wind blowing through the treetops, the water hitting the rocks, and the birds chirping softly.
This gentleman finally ended another important adventure in his life, and he will experience more stories in the next twenty years.
In front of Xia De, who rushed out of another door, was the old corridor flickering with candlelight. At the last moment before the white mist behind him engulfed him, he finally saw what was lingering in the corridors, guarding the Dreadfort.
