Chapter 180: The Game

In order to explain to the Miss Overseer why Nolan's spellcasters and Holy Cult were willing to come to this tavern, and sit there for a whole day, it is likely to be a secret for the whole day.

Qiao Xiu had two Hearthstone duels with her directly in his study.

"The Holy Legion came to this tavern for... Play this card game? ”

Pace's fingertips ran over her hand, her deck was provided by Josiu, and due to her similar class and temperament, Pace chose Valera the Stalker as the deck she was fighting against.

"That's right."

With a wave of Qiao Xiu's hand, a mage's professional card fireball technique appeared in Qiao Xiu's hand.

For nearly two months, Qiao Xiu made some small changes to Hearthstone's arcade machine, that is, to directly hold the illusion composed of cards in his hand.

When it was time to use that card, just click on it, Qiao Xiu touched the card of 'Fireball Technique', and the card turned into a fragment composed of inscriptions, and a target designation logo appeared on the table below.

Josiu's choice was Valeera, a stalker with only six points of blood left.

The fireball spell was directly released by Gianna, the hero mage controlled by Qiao Xiu, and the stalker Valeera was directly split and exploded into pieces after being hit by the fireball spell.

"The executioners of the church would be so keen to play this kind of game."

It may be that two consecutive defeats made Pace a little discouraged, or the kind of defeat that was abused by Joe, which made her game experience very poor.

She had never been exposed to 'video games' before, and she had no concept of it.

For her, her only entertainment was with her esteemed Highness Cersili, or chasing down desperate prey and watching them sink into despair.

"Do you want another round?"

Qiao Xiu didn't answer the watchman's question, but just clicked the button to continue the battle, quietly waiting for the watcher's lady to agree.

She also seems to be the type to be competitive and unwilling to give in, and in Pace's opinion, her previous two defeats were due to her unfamiliarity with the game.

But after accumulating experience in two games, she basically understood the rules of this game that couldn't be simpler.

"Again."

Although Pace said that 'there is no way to understand the fun of this kind of game', she is not willing to lose to Qiao Xiu so badly, at least there is a game to clear the shame of being 'ravaged' by Qiao Xiu's mage before!

"Please."

In this way, Joshew and Pace started the third game, and this Miss Watcher was quite talented in the game.

Even with a little resistance, she was just a beginner.

Worst...

In the tenth round, Joshua drew his card again and successfully drew a Flame Burst that dealt ten damage, while Valeera, the Stalker controlled by Pester, had just ten health left.

In this game, Qiao Xiu originally planned to let Pester win a game, so that the game experience of Miss Watcher would be slightly better, so that she would not be abused to the point of losing confidence.

But Qiao Xiu still underestimated her luck today, three consecutive games were not smooth at all, if Qiao Xiu hadn't released the water in this game, she would have died in the fifth round.

"Your Highness Qiao Xiu, anyone's mercy is a humiliation to me."

The 'Stalker Valeera' controlled by Pester gradually decreased in blood and was on the verge of death, making her feel a rare sense of nervousness.

She hadn't felt this way in a long time, and since the last round, she had been engrossed in staring at each of Joshua's draws.

With Valeera's current weak HP, as long as Joshua draws a card that can deal damage, she will be declared defeated in this round.

And in the tenth round of gacha, when her gaze hidden behind the mask looked at Qiao Xiu, Pace caught a trace of hesitation in Qiao Xiu's eyes.

It was clear that Qiao Xiu had drawn that card that could cause fatal damage, but Qiao Xiu didn't seem to plan to use it, just to let her win the game.

But Pester never wanted to accept a victory from someone else's handout.

"Really? Then sorry. ”

Her thoughts were seen through by the Watcher Lady, and Qiao Xiu stopped releasing the water any longer, and threw a fire explosion technique that could deal ten points of damage directly into the face of the hero controlled by Peste.

When Pace ushered in her third defeat, Qiao Xiu saw her shoulders trembling slightly, probably due to her unwillingness after the loss.

"Please... One more round. ”

Pace's voice sounded calm, and she hid her inner thoughts well.

"Unfortunately, I don't have time to delay any longer, Miss Monitor."

Qiao Xiu pointed to the magic guide clock hanging on the wall behind him.

Pace, who had lived in the human world for a while, certainly understood human time.

During the Hearthstone duel with Josiu, Pace always thought that only ten minutes had passed, but the clock hanging on the wall told Pace that a full hour had passed.

"I can see what makes this tavern so appealing."

Pester didn't think the Hearthstone game was any fun, but the sense of accomplishment that comes from beating someone with the game was something she wanted more.

It's like what she enjoys when she hunts is not to kill the prey, but to enjoy something else, such as the scream of the prey.

"But that doesn't justify the Church's acceptance of us, His Highness Jossiu... You are still in danger. ”

"I know, but I don't plan to go back anytime soon, and I have no intention of giving up this tavern."

Josiu handed a letter that had just been written to Pace.

"Give this letter to my sister, but I want you to stay in the tavern for a while before leaving, and I have two more things that I would like you to bring back to my sister, so that she has a better chance of convincing."

“……”

Pace accepted the letter from Qiao Xiu, and if she brought it back, it would be tantamount to declaring her mission a failure.

But the undead wandering throughout the study made Pace dare not easily use coercive means to bring the demon prince back to the demon world.

And Qiao Xiu's letter is equivalent to an eviction order, usually Qiao Xiu doesn't mind spending time on Hearthstone, but Pruk has been waiting for too long.

"Yes."

Peste put the letter away and walked to the door of the study.

"Aren't you going to take your deck with you? Some of the cards are not readily available. "The deck that Joshua gave Pester to try out wasn't a beginner card box, but it had several legendary cards in it.

Under Qiao Xiu's reminder, Pace returned from the door, picked up the pure black original crystal, and left Qiao Xiu's study without saying a word.
