Barton entered the royal capital with his carefully crafted deck and headed to the Imperial Athletic Games, where the bright sun had dyed the world golden, and more than a thousand tents had been quietly erected outside the city walls and on the banks of the river, and tens of thousands of civilians from all over the country were flocking to watch the games.

Barton was breathless by the spectacle of the athletic meeting: bright weapons, tall armoured horses, shouts of the crowd, bright banners fluttering in the wind...... And those monsters, especially those monsters.

In Kasan City, Barton had seen a lot of monsters from the Blackwing Clan, but today, these monsters all restrained their usual fierce appearances, and looked for a place in the square with a small bench with a simple face, and the noble dragonborn slashed overhead, and the claws sprinkled with small pieces of ceremonial flowers.

In addition, there were many Gentiles whom Barton did not know, sea people from the Narrow Bay and the Western Sea, dwarves from the Zedi Kingdom, cunning traders from trading city-states, and noble-born southern poets.

In the eyes of tourists and merchants from foreign countries, the scene in front of them is so illusory that it is incredible, and countless imaginary scenes of humans and monsters living in harmony in the story are vividly displayed in front of them, waiting for the opening of the contest in the square.

Patton wore a gray-blue linen coat without any sashes or ornaments, and a thin gray cloak on his shoulders that resembled a dirty rag, but today he was one of the protagonists here, and the coat of arms on his chest proved that he was a contestant.

"Have faith, Barton, you're the one in Kasan who knows the most about elegiac cards. Your friends, relatives, the top of the Empire, and even His Majesty the Emperor will see you perform on stage, and there are not many opportunities like this. ”

Before leaving, the Lord of Kashan gave him a lot of encouragement, but despite this, the ordinary craftsmen from Kashan City were a little timid.

At this time, the time was close to noon, and the tall figure of the Black Dragon Emperor slowly appeared at the top of the sea of flowers, attracting a burst of cheers like a mountain and a tsunami.

Behind the central stage of the Royal Garden, an illusory image is suddenly projected on the black curtain used to decorate the background of the stage opera.

Against the backdrop of pitch black, a line of pale golden dragon texts with a heavy aura is presented in front of intelligent beings from all over the world - "Elegy." ”

While people were still pondering what the dragon language meant, and how such a scene could appear on the black curtain, an enthusiastic voice echoed throughout the royal court.

"Welcome to the Elegy Tavern!"

As soon as the sound is finished, the huge font disappears, and the back of each expansion pack of the elegy card replaces it and is displayed in front of everyone through a projection.

Barton embed the cards he had spent countless hours building into the black box given to him by the staff, took a deep breath, and began to step forward onto the stage.

Unlike the noisy chaos of auditions, where the finals were slow and detailed, with only one pair of players playing at a time, Barton drew a one, meaning he would be the first contestant to appear.

His mental qualities made him afraid to look at the crowds below, so he could only sit down in his position without squinting, and the final stage was unexpectedly large, and his opponent was far enough away from him that Barton couldn't even see the specific face of the opponent.

How can this be compared?

Barton was a little confused, but still followed the instructions of the staff, put the black box on the oddly shaped competition table in front of him, and after waiting for a while, the enthusiastic voice sounded again.

"Anduin, against Gianna!"

"The Light will grant me victory!"

"You brought it on yourself!"

The emblems representing the priesthood and the mage were displayed on the screen, followed by portraits of heroes representing the profession on both sides, and the heroes said their own opening lines, and the first battle officially began under the gaze of everyone in the royal court.

A wilderness landscape that no one has ever seen before appears on the backdrop, and when Barton plays his first entourage, "The Priest of North County", the mutation happens.

A female pastor in a white robe was really projected on the final stage, and even her solemn expression was vividly displayed!

Such a scene immediately caused an uproar, and the exclamation was all over the face, which also made Barton's hand tremble slightly, although he didn't understand how such a scene appeared, but he also knew that it was something that Wang Ting spent a lot of money to make.

At this moment, for some reason, tears overflowed his eyes.

In the eyes of many people, the elegiac card is just a fancy and useless thing, a new form of entertainment. Yes, they are true and irrefutable, but Barton himself has deeper expectations for the elegy.

Barton was hooked on the game with clear objectives, clear rules, and randomness, and a very low threshold and high ceiling, and he spent countless days and nights studying the strength, combinations, and restraint of each card, and wasted countless efforts to become the best player in the entire empire.

Countless times, his family and friends have said to him, "Don't do this, Barton, it's just a game, put it down." "But it was nothing short of a miracle for him to sit here today and see so many people and aliens from all over the empire gathered, even His Majesty the Emperor himself to be present and share this moment together.

The athletic tournament organized by the royal court and officially supported by the royal court made Barton feel that everything he had paid for was worth it, and he was willing to work tirelessly for such an opportunity, even if he was a good-for-nothing mortal, he could have the highlight moment of his life and stand on the stage to accept the opportunity of all people.

- My turn, gacha!

Mind stealing!

……

Caesar looked at the surging crowd below, his eyes were full of satisfaction, the value of the elegy card is not only now, but also in the future, it is slowly becoming a new industrial activity.

With the development of time, the elegy card gradually became popular with a wider range of people, and the sale of cards brought a good income to the royal court, but for the still growing market, this income has more room for imagination in the future.

When a large number of people indulged in elegy cards, after gathering enough supporters, the elegy cards gradually had the ability to support a professional system, and the competitive competition system behind it came into being.

This is a situation that will inevitably occur after things have developed to a certain extent, some time ago, there were many gambling duels between the people of the empire and the elegy cards in private, but this thing was resolutely forbidden by the royal court, because there was no tax.

After thinking about it for a while, Caesar simply put an end to the holding of such non-governmental events, and banned them and left them to the officials themselves, which was also the direct reason for the holding of this competitive competition.

Promoting the competitive industry is a good thing, Caesar noticed the prospect of the Elegy card derivative system, not only the Black Wing Empire, but also the value that can be obtained after exporting to the outside world, and everything now is actually preparing for the promotion of the Elegy card to Eladia.
