Chapter 104: Gambling Wildly
"Crackling"
The firewood burst in the flames, the battle during the day was fierce, and after the queen died, the whole giant ant colony was in chaos and scattered, many of them came towards the caravan, and everyone could only hold on.
Fortunately, the giant ants had no intention of fighting, and the battle ended with the caravan attrition of 4/5.
The fire was quickly contained, and the damp Black Forest was not yet a threat from this small fire.
Because of the less medicine, many mercenaries who were burned by acid began to rot and suppurate, and they started a high fever full of nonsense, unable to act on their own.
The crowd can only give them a good time, and no one is powerless to save people at this time.
The caravan's cargo was also destroyed by the giant ants, and Edward was a big loss this time.
Fortunately, a cart loaded with supplies was not damaged, and the surviving people at least had tents to live in and hot soup to drink.
Of course, even if it is a crushing victory, there is still loot.
Formic acid and carapace are good commodities, and the most valuable ones are the eggs found in the burrows of the queen ants.
The eggs are pale yellow in color, round and the size of a football.
According to Steward Hood, the giant ant eggs were very popular in Craigie City, where the nobles loved to use them to cook their meals, and the warriors would use their own blood to raise giant ants as pets for about 1 gold coin.
However, because of the scorching flames, only 13 live eggs were left in the hundreds of giant ant eggs, and the rest were either scorched or cooked.
When it's cooked, it spoils quickly, so tonight everyone has a lot of luxury, and they can eat as much as they want.
As a player, Yang Hao got another harvest from the queen ant - the queen's articulation organ.
The queen ant can't speak, and her articulatory organs are specially designed to stimulate that kind of super-vibrating sound waves, which Yang Hao is very interested in.
The attempt was to infuse the magic power but there was no movement, and Yang Hao, who couldn't figure out the method, could only put it away temporarily.
At night, Yang Hao volunteered to keep vigil, but was invited by Edward to his tent.
Steward Hood fainted directly after the battle because of his forcible use of sword moves, and was resting in Edward's tent at this time.
Yang Hao didn't understand what Edward was up to, and decided to wait and see.
"Mr. Geralt, are you a wizard?" Edward lowered his posture and asked cautiously and deferentially.
"Not a wizard yet." Yang Hao told the truth.
Edward thought to himself: Not now, it will be in the future, damn it, I don't have wizarding talent with such noble blood, why! How can a pariah...
MMP in the heart, with a smile on the face, is the basic course of the aristocracy.
Edward's heart was full of emotion, but his face remained respectful.
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Geralt going to Craigie City, of course, if it's inconvenient, don't say it."
"Hehe, there's nothing I can't say, I'm going to be a witcher, there should be a witcher organization in Craigie City."
"Of course, Craigie City is the largest city in the south, and it is known as the city that never sleeps, but the Witcher Organization is not in the city.
These grown-ups prefer quiet, and their home is in the ruined castle of Kyle Mohan in the Blue Mountains north of the city. ”
The Witcher Organization only recruits people with wizarding talents, and it has produced a good official wizard in the past, and it is a first-class organization on the mainland.
Ordinary people can't easily reach wizard apprentices, and witchers often help villages and towns deal with monsters and monsters, and their reputation is very high, so witchers are respected by ordinary people (how can my big witcher be disliked, it doesn't exist).
"Really? Thank you very much, or I'd have wasted another day. ”
Yang Hao is not exaggerating, with the area of Craigie City, if he takes the wrong road, I am afraid that more than one day will be wasted.
Edward put away the jealousy in his heart, the man in front of him is very likely to become a witcher, he is the person the family needs, if he can get the favor of a witcher, it will be good for the development of the family.
As for how to gain favor, the nobles have a strategy, and the witchers like to play a game, and even some witchers are addicted to it and abandon their practice.
"Mr. Geralt, do you want to play a game?" Edward hinted with a wink.
Yang Hao: "..."Nima, dead, it's okay to throw any flattery, no, I'm going to vomit out dinner."
Edward thought that Yang Hao had acquiesced, and brought a small exquisite wooden table from the side and placed it between the two.
"Come on Geralt, I'm the strongest in Craigie City!"
Edward: "Well, the words are perfect, but why do everyone say they are the strongest?
Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, the changes before and after were too great, and he needed to digest it.
After a while, Yang Hao found out that this was not the game board of the Gwent card, this was to play the Gwent card?
But as a newbie, is it really okay to challenge Craigie City to be the strongest?
Forget it, it's just a game, lose if you lose, come and fight!
Yang Hao doesn't have many cards, just 25 cards can barely be played. (Gold cards are extremely rare in this book, and there are not many silver cards)
At the beginning of the game, each person draws 10 cards first, and two more cards are allowed.
Yang Hao's luck was good to buy three Ruidania Elite, and there was no shortage of other matching cards, so he didn't change the cards.
Redania Elite (Bronze)
6 attacks, any position.
Whenever armor drops to 0, gain a 5 buff.
Deploy: Gain 4 armor.
Edward hesitated to replace the two, which made Yang Hao's confidence greatly increased.
At the beginning of the game, Edward took the lead.
He plays a Gray Dwarf Defender (Bronze)
5 attack, melee position.
Tenacity (Stay on the field after the round)
Edward placed the cards on his side in the melee platoon (first row), and 30 centimeters above the table, a vanity of the prairie appeared, and a miniature gray dwarf in thick armor held his shield in high and roared.
Yang Hao: "..."Hey, it's still 3D projection, it's quite good at playing."
Looking at the card that was played again, the gray dwarf pattern that had been active on it disappeared.
Yang Hao didn't think much about putting the Redania Elite in his hand in the melee position.
"Long live the King!"
With a shout from Redania's elite, a golden shield-like light flashed on his body, +4 armor (armor will not count towards combat power, but it has a lot of effects).
Once again, it was Edward's turn to play the cards, and it was still the Gray Dwarf card.
Grey Dwarf Guard (Bronze)
5 attack, melee position.
Deploy: Buff an allied unit by 3. The Gray Dwarf card gains a 5 buff.
Needless to say, its buff targets the Gray Dwarf Defender, increasing its power to 10 at once.
At present, the score on the field is 15-6, and Yang Hao is behind.
According to tactics, Yang Hao can lure the opponent to play more cards, respond negatively to himself, and then take the initiative to give up and gain a hand advantage.
Yang Hao also knew the story of Tian Ji horse racing, so he decided... Gotta win the first game!
Look at my Redania elected knight!
