Volume 1: The Poem of Departure Chapter 45: Players

At this time, Del Cola still has Rich Merchant 1, Rich Merchant 3 and Noble 1, Richard already has Noble 1 Worker 2 and Prime Minister 4.

Richard finally smiled.

He used his prime minister4 to kill a wealthy merchant in Del Kora1. Became Prime Minister 3. Then, Richard attacks with Noble 1, and the Del Cola character has two points left.

Del Kola used Rich Merchant 3 to kill Worker 2, and the number of cards was equal.

Richard used Prime Minister 3 to kill Del Kora's Nobleman 1 and became Prime Minister 2, and then used his own Nobleman 1 to attack Del Kora's character.

There is only 1 point left for the Del Cola character.

Del Cola also has a Rich Merchant1 in his hand.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He has one card left in his hand, and if he uses it, he will receive the last card in Satya's hand anyway. It was a peasant 7, and this card couldn't be used this turn, but it would be an unlimited card the next turn, and it could attack the opposing character at will, and Richard's character had only two points left, and one attack could defeat him.

He had planned well.

But why, why was it that I could have waited for a big name, but now, I am restricted by a small prime minister 2 and noble 1?

Originally, in his plan, as long as Richard's hole card was not a peasant 7, he would consume his hand as soon as possible, and then get the last unlimited card peasant 7, which would be the biggest card on the field, and he would lose two character points for an attack, so that no matter what cards Richard had, there would be no way to turn the tables - but why, why did the battle suddenly turn around when the Prime Minister 4 that he had been despised by him before and wanted Richard to open was the first to start?

The two-player Kara card did not skip the round without attacking the option - Del Cola desperately bumped into the nobleman 1 with his rich merchant 1, lost all the cards in his hand, and then got a peasant 7, the peasant 7 he had been thinking about for a long time, and then looked at the big card, and watched that in the next turn, Richard bumped into it with a small prime minister 2 -

Prime Minister 2 was abandoned. Farmer 7 is restricted, still a big card. But Richard had lost all of his hands - he still had two character points left, and Del Cola only had one left.

Richard smiled.

"It's over, young man. It's over. ”

"Two to one, Richard wins. Satya announced the result of the game, then looked at Del Cola and said helplessly: "You have been waiting for the big cards? a rich merchant 6 and a farmer 7, your eyes are so confused by these two big cards that you don't notice the hole that Mr. Richard dug for you - you have been led by Mr. Richard by the nose since you guessed that there were big cards in the cards." Your idea was completely predicted by Mr. Richard, and to be honest, you didn't lose at all. ”

"......" Delcora took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath.

"I hate gambling. He smiled wryly and shook his head, "Thankfully, there were no bets." Otherwise I'll be distressed. ”

"It's important to have a good mindset. Richard seems to agree with Del Kora, "The ability to face defeat with the right attitude is the biggest difference between a player and a gambler—you'll be a good player." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, but it's time for you to show who you are. Delcora scratched her head, all her frustrated expressions of loss gone. He looked at Richard with a calm expression, crossed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and assumed a very oppressive pose, "Why don't you change your identity - you didn't even disguise your face and name." You don't teach at Randmont, so why do you want to stay in this town and play with a bunch of newbies here, Mr. Richard Bryant?"

"Ah, what, you know. Hearing that Del Cola revealed his identity, Richard was not shocked, but showed a disappointed and uninteresting expression. He pulled out a Kara card from the pile of cards on the table, and with a flick of his finger, the cards flew above his fingertips, "I thought you didn't know me, and you were kind enough to leave you a winning game, and you played the losing game so realistically - hey, little one, did you know that I would release water, so you pretended not to know me?"

"You should understand me, when I brag to others in the future, I can justifiably say, 'Hey, you're not as good as me, I've won a small game of the Abyss card!' Do you know how much honor I have?"

Del Cora said, getting up and saluting Richard.

"Hail to you, Sage, Mr. Richard Bryant, the 'Abyssal Card'. ”

This is a Saint Order, a hero, one of the three hundred and twenty-seven members of the Heroes Council (which will soon become three hundred and twenty-eight), the leader of the continent.

"Why do you kid have no respect for the Holy Order, and the living conditions are really too good?" Richard pouted, "That old fellow Lance made me wait here for two months, and he said you guys would be there soon—is that old guy cheating on me?"

Of course, we don't feel any more about the Holy Order, after all, we just saved one not long ago...... Del Cora thought to herself.

And, sure enough, as the intelligence said, when the abyss card is not playing, the temper is really bad.

Because the Holy See is located in Randmund, and Landmont is a permanently neutral city, there are many Holy Orders who are too lazy to participate in the internal affairs of the race to live in Randmund, and the "Abyss Card" is also one of them. But compared to other holy ranks, the "Abyss Card" undoubtedly has a higher reputation -

Half of the reason is that he is the best poker player on the continent, with an unrivaled level of proficiency in kara and other cards, even if Mr. Lance, who is known as "The All-Knowing," is slightly inferior to him in karao. Every time a game of kara was held between the saints, he appeared as a referee, and no table would welcome him into the game.

The other half of the reason...... It's that this Holy Order's temper is really too bad.

He was a holy magister and a magical genius since he was a child, but he never used his talents for magical training and meditation, and he never had Kara cards in his mind - which disappointed his parents and thought that he had given birth to a gambler, but his magical talent was so dazzling that he entered Reims Academy at the age of fifteen, where he was ranked first in the region, even if he didn't work hard. In Reims, he still only cares about playing cards, he has no good face for anyone, his popularity is very poor, he also likes to take it all when gambling, and does not give any affection to those nobles who want to have a good relationship with him, and soon he became the most hated person in Reims Academy, but the principal Mr. Lance was unexpectedly optimistic about him, and Mr. Lance was recognized as one of the top masters of playing Kara cards in the mainland. Mr. Reims kept him by his side and taught him carefully, and said to Richard, who was still young at the time:

When you become a Holy Order, I allow you to challenge me with Kara cards. ”

Twenty years later, Mr. Lance suffered a crushing defeat with a record of 0-2, and Richard Bryant, who was seven years Chinese New Year's Eve old at the time, joined the Heroes Council Hall and was called the "Abyss Card", becoming one of the youngest Holy Orders in the history of the continent-

"If you don't have the strength, don't play cards with me, otherwise, I will plunge you into the eternal abyss. ”

Even after becoming a Holy Order, Richard still has a bad temper, except for the people who play cards with him, he does not have a good face for all the other Holy Orders, and he does not have much respect for his mentor, Mr. Lance. All the people who have to deal with him don't like him, but he never cares what others think. His world has always been full of Kara cards.

"So why did Mr. Lance send him to me......" Del Cola wept silently. If I let this foul-tempered Holy Order know that it was because of my deliberate delay that he had waited here for more than two months, I don't know how he would clean me up......

And I pretended not to know him before, and won a small game from him—anyway, this gentleman was willing to play a game with his acting skills, and he kept pretending to be on par with me? Will he consider my thoughts? Doesn't it mean that he doesn't care about anything?

"Ahem...... Mr. Richard, there is a reason why we are late," and as Del Cola struggled with doubts, it was Satya who stepped up and explained, "We were passing through the Sunset Mountains and we encountered something ......"

So Satya told the story of lifting Moccarus' seal and saving a saint in a few words, but she deliberately blurred the process of lifting the seal and prolonged the time to lift the seal, giving people the feeling that it took them a long time to complete this difficult task-

But Richard just waved his hand and said impatiently, "Don't lie in front of me, and don't play any word games." I don't care what you did, but you made me wait two months, and I'm not happy......"

He stared at the two of them, his lips squirming a few times, as if he wanted to say something—but in the end, he just sighed.

"If you're lucky, I can't trouble you right now. He pouted, "The old man has a task for you, shouldn't you be three?"

"Assas is at the mayor's house, and he has taken over the mayor's task," Del Cora carefully explained, "and I can tell him." ”

"Whatever you want. I'll just say you about your mission, the Holy See has sent a team to Logstown, it's a group of aristocratic ladies who are about to enter Reims Academy, the Holy See wanted to make them suffer a little, but they have had a little too much comfort along the way - go and give them some hardship, whatever you do, so that they can put away their damn arrogance. They've set up camp next to the creek west of Logs, and they're going to stay in Logs for seven days, and after seven days, I don't want any of them to walk out with their damn heads held high—understand?"

“...... Is this Mr. Reims' instructions, or is it your will?" Del Kora's eyelids jumped.

"Do you have an opinion, old man?" Richard squinted at him.

Mr. Lance would never add so many blocking words to his words...... Del Cora sneered, but still asked one more question: "What is the limit of hands-on?"

"No death, no disability, no permanent psychological trauma, that's all. Richard rolled his eyes, "Don't think too much about it, those damn young ladies are also genius elites, no weaker than the strength you show now." Oh yes, if you don't want to be hostile to a bunch of petty aristocrats at school later on, it's best not to reveal your identity. ”

“...... I know. Delcora nodded with difficulty.

"Don't waste time here. Richard waved impatiently to catch up, and the two ran out in disarray, and when they were about to leave, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Richard in the room, and became a humble and polite gentleman again.

"I think I made a mistake," Delcora murmured, "and when he pretended not to know him, he was quite amiable, and he was willing to play a game with me with his cards down, how did he become so annoying after revealing his identity?"

"Richard is the only Holy Order known for his foul temper," Satya also had a skeptical expression, "Don't talk about ordinary people, he has the same attitude towards other Sages, but this time it has become like this-I think there is something wrong behind this." ”

"What does that have to do with us?" Delkora smiled wryly, "don't talk about him, aren't we going to do sinners now?" a tour of aristocratic geniuses...... It's tricky to think about......"

"Let's talk to Assas first. I'll have to tell him about the Abyss Card being here—a Holy Order, it's impossible for him to be here two months in advance just to wait for us. There's definitely something big going on here. ”

"Oh, I think too. ”
