The Prophet Association will issue no more than three sets of special series of cards each year, and the number of each set is variable, but there will only be a maximum of 54 special rule cards mixed in it, that is, a maximum of one card of each card suit and number. It is even possible that there are only two special cards in a whole set of cards, and they will be given directly to people who have a special relationship with the association without going through the market.
Therefore, it is difficult to get a card of a special series. If that card has special usage rules, you must have money to get it without luck.
Although Baron Lavender and Baron Rwanda are richer than Shad, they still don't have that much money to buy the precious Rhodes card. But they were all Rhodes masters, relying on poker skills to win cards from friends and out-of-town Rhodes fans. This is not the first time this has happened today.
The game is played in a best-of-three game, and the Baron Lavender and the Baron Rwanda must end the game at least once, and the rest of the games can be completed by their friends instead.
Because only two people participated, each side used a deck of cards to compete. Mr. Candela, a friend of Baron Lavender, who worked in the Tobesk City Prophet Association, was in charge of shuffling and dealing the cards.
Two cards are dealt for the first time, and both parties decide whether to stop or continue. In each round, one side wins five times. At the end of the round, one point is counted. The side that gets two points first wins and gets the opponent's bet.
The bet can be involved in the card group, so after both parties issue a Rhodes card authentication certificate to prove the authenticity of the card, the game officially begins.
"I've been using this deck for 5 years and won over 100 games for me!"
Baron Lavender, who was waiting for the shuffling process, leaned sideways on the stone table and said.
"This deck of cards of mine once went to the battlefield with me. Although there is no trace of it now, it has infected my blood."
The Baron of Rwanda clenched his fists and counterattacked unceremoniously.
Xia De activated the ring of life in his soul, used the spell [Echo of Blood], glanced at the Baron of Rwanda's deck, and then sullenly did not show any expression.
The atmosphere under the grape trellis reached its peak at the moment when the two sides "talked hard". Baron Lavender and Baron Rwanda both chose to play in the first game. The warm atmosphere also attracted the banquet participants near the grape arbor in the garden, but after finding out that it was the Rhodes Athletic, only a few gentlemen chose to watch here.
Shad was forced to stand at the stone table, but in fact he had no interest in this fancy gamble. After he wrote down the rules, he paid attention to the distribution of bloodstains on the Baron of Rwanda cards, and then he did not continue to watch the game. Even though everyone around him was nervous and smiling, he was not infected by the atmosphere.
"What's so fun about playing cards?"
Xia De doesn't quite understand the thinking of people in this world, and thinks that it is the difference in thinking caused by cultural differences.
Therefore, I just paid attention to the progress of the game, and my main mind was still looking around, wanting to know what the big event that the woman in my mind mentioned was about to happen.
In the middle of the first game, when Baron Lavender was holding the cards and began to sweat, Xia De saw another team from the Orthodox Church on the side path that was not illuminated by the elegant garden gas lamps and candles. The ring warlock team appeared. They came from the direction of Schluchsee, and they must have been by the lake a long time ago, but Shad didn't notice it.
One was unusually strong, the other had the aura of a scholar, and the other, on the afternoon when Xia De first came to this world, handed him a church flyer that could receive relief food.
"This is the ring warlock of the [Church of War and Peace] of the righteous **** [Father of Peace]."
Shad turned his eyes away from the group of people to prevent them from discovering. Although the ring warlocks also noticed that there were people gathered under the grape arbor, they did not go this way, but walked around to the courtyard in front of the manor through the inconspicuous garden path.
"Now there are two ring warlock squads appearing, probably from different churches... What will happen?"
He thought to himself, and was startled by the exclamation of the men around him. It turned out that the Baron Rwanda had drawn the special card of [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl].
Of course, both parties who came to the Rhodes competition brought dice. Although the Baron of Rwanda rolled 13 for the first time, which meant that he could not use special rules, this still made the onlookers extremely excited. The baron himself was quite proud of himself.
This is something Xia De couldn't understand, after all, he didn't trigger the rules at all.
The Baron of Rwanda continued this "good luck" and won the first five wins in the first game, defeating Baron Lavender. The latter pursed his lips and looked in a bad mood, but when he got up, he squeezed out a fake smile and praised the opponent's good card skills. That funny expression made the joyful atmosphere under the grape arbor even more intense.
Although the Baron of Rwanda won, he did not choose to continue the game by himself, but asked his friend Mr. Sikh, a factory owner who runs a flour factory in the local area, to participate~www.mtlnovel.com~The same, La Baron Wende also invited his friend, Sir Solar, a garden artist who had managed gardens at Cold Spring Palace.
These two are their real friends, and they have appeared many times in the past, not hired friends like Shade.
The game started again, and Baron Lavender was extremely nervous because he had already lost a game. But the garden horticultural artist was laid back, even holding a toothpick in his mouth, **** his moustache while explaining that he was quitting smoking.
At this time, the night has completely fallen, and the three moons hang high above the night sky. The light under the grape arbor is mainly provided by the elegant gas lamps in the garden and the candlesticks fixed on the table by everyone.
Under the warm yellow light, the Rhodes players squinted at their cards, and the men onlookers were also looking forward to every card draw.
Only the bored Xia De was not attracted by this game of cards. He looked at the purple-red grapes hanging from the grape rack, thinking in his heart, wondering if the owner of the Lake View Manor would mind if the guests would take away some of these plump fruits without permission.
"Speaking of which, can cats eat grapes?"
Xia De's thoughts diverged quickly, but his main attention was still on observing if there was anything unusual nearby.
When I looked around, I saw two middle-aged gentlemen in black formal suits, holding wine glasses, passing by the garden path beside the grape arbor. They talked about the topic of psychiatry, roughly hitting the back of the head with holy silver, and whether it could treat more serious mental illnesses.
Xia De saw Dr. Schneider, the same Dr. Schneider holding a wine glass. While chatting with friends, he accidentally glanced down at the grape arbor, and saw the youngest detective among the group.
