Soft music sounded in the tavern, the aroma of fine wine wafted through the clean and tidy tavern, and the day-like lighting conditions made the people around the table playing Gwent cards without having to look at the small fonts printed on the cards, and many people liked the atmosphere here, without the noisy sounds of those taverns, which made them more engrossed in their decks and the "battle situation" on the table.

"Oh, lost again." A bearded dwarf hugged his head in distress, "A cold beer, thank you!" ”

A service robot flew to the table with a tray, and the bearded dwarf who had just lost a game casually threw a few gold coins on the tray, then grabbed the crystal-like cup, poured half a glass into his mouth, and then wiped the foam stuck to his beard with his sleeve, and put the wine glass with half a glass left to the side, "In the second game, I will definitely win you this time." ”

On the other side of the table was a man who wrapped himself in a black robe, and the staff leaning against the wall indicated that the man was a warlock, and at his feet, an ugly humanoid creature a few sizes older than a baby was chained, and every time the creature made any noise, the warlock would kick twice, and the warlock's eyes lingered on the service robot that had just floated away for a moment, only to notice that the opponent was shouting about the second game, and a hint of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Generally speaking, very few warlocks would participate in this kind of tabletop card game, they would rather spend time on their field of study and more unknown magic, but this one is clearly not.

At first, the bearded dwarf thought that he was underestimating his opponent, and he thought that he would be able to turn the game around in the second game, but soon he realized that he was wrong, his opponent was much better than himself, and he could not win against his opponent with the hands and skills that he could only play with his companions casually.

"You've got thirty seconds to think about it."

The other dwarf, who was acting as a referee on the sidelines, did not take care of his own people, and the rules of the game had to be followed.

Hearing this, a drop of cold sweat was left on the forehead of the bearded dwarf who was holding the cards, he took a deep breath, then wiped his forehead, and finally reluctantly spread the cards in his hand, indicating that he admitted defeat.

"If I lose, do you want to take one of my cards, or settle the bet with gold?" The bearded dwarf picked up the remaining half of the beer and slumped to his stomach, his face flushed with excitement.

The black-robed warlock shook his finger, he wasn't interested in the pile of bad cards in the bearded dwarf's hand, "I heard there's something called a cocktail here......"

"Boss, have a Sprite!" Although there was some pain in the price of the cocktail, the bearded dwarf still squealed very dryly, but the variety he chose was specially selected.

The black-robed warlock frowned slightly as a glass of crystal clear wine was brought to the table, the bubbling transparent liquid didn't make him think it was wine at all, and he almost thought that the other party had gotten a glass of white water to entertain him.

In the eyes of a group of people watching the show, the black-robed warlock picked up the wine glass, took a small sip, and with the first sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, a taste that he had never tasted before surrounded the tip of his tongue, a bit like fruit, and some like some cooling medicine, but his throat was burned by strong alcohol, and the feeling of ice and fire made his whole body tremble, and the next second he gulped down this cocktail called Sprite, but he didn't notice the strange eyes of the people around him.

Soon, a burst of white frost spread around the black-robed warlock's lips, and after a while he rolled in the ice and snow, causing many people to laugh, but this did not last long, the warlock casually applied a spell to his body, and this thin layer of frost disappeared, but a feeling of dizziness in his brain still made him have to sigh that this thing is full of stamina, no wonder he had heard that this wine was said to be poured in a glass, but it also aroused his interest.

"Is anyone else coming?" The black-robed warlock reminisced about how he had just felt, and he decided to take another one after he was confident that he would still have a drink, and just now he glanced at the screen on the wall, which displayed a variety of cocktails.

However, most people were reluctant to come forward to look for abuse after seeing the level of this black-robed warlock, and would rather have a duel with someone of their own level.

At this moment, the dwarf Dzortan in the crowd suddenly shouted to Ciri, who was drinking a drink by the bar, "Hey, Ciri, show him some color, you've learned a lot from Geralt!" ”

Hearing Zoltan's shouting, Ciri couldn't help but pat his head, if you want to say who among the mutual friends of himself and Daddy White Wolf loves the Gwent card the most, it must be Zoldan, but this skill is not good, and he often loses himself into debt.

However, when he thought that he seemed to have cards on him, the corners of Ciri's mouth curled, and he decided to reminisce about the game he hadn't played in a long time.

"It's not scientific!"

The black-robed warlock felt that every step he took was seen through by the girl in front of him, and every action was targeted, this feeling made him very aggrieved, just like two warlocks magic match, every time the other party would accurately use a spell to restrain himself, and the situation of losing no matter how he played made him lose his cool all of a sudden.

Ciri smiled, threw a scorching shot in the opponent's incredulous eyes, and sent the three blue-clothed guards who activated the opponent's melee position to their comrades, laying down an overwhelming advantage, the black-robed mage shook his head helplessly, and admitted defeat cleanly, and the people who bet and won on the side also let out a burst of cheers at the right time.

Zultan leaned over to Ciri and whispered, "Did you take all of Geralt's cards?" I bet the tactic you just used was Geralt's used before. ”

"Of course, I'm not going to collect these cards specifically." Ciri shrugged, "Who made him always delay his business because of playing cards or women." ”

"Ahh

The white-haired man in a tavern in a small village sneezed, rubbed his nose and continued to look at the cards in his hand, "I'm not used to the cards I used to have, I'll set off after winning this game, and I'll go to find ...... Ciri."

Looking back at this side, the black-robed warlock didn't seem to be ready to play another game, and while packing up his deck, he asked Ciri: "Okay, little girl, your skills are really good, so what do you want as the price of my loss, first of all, I don't have much gold on me." ”

I was going to say that I was just having fun, but Ciri quickly noticed the ugly humanoid creature at the black-robed warlock's feet when he stood up.

"Woo~Woo~" The humanoid creature had one big and one small eyes, and some strange red spots on its body, as if it was suffering from a skin disease, and the other party stared at Ciri while screaming.

The black-robed warlock was a little impatient with the little creature screaming at his feet, and kicked it a few more times, but soon he noticed Ciri's gaze, "This little thing is called Uma, and I found it on an island in Skellyger. ”

"Then what do you think of my choice of it?" Ciri always felt as if she could read something in the eyes of the little creature called Uma, and after thinking about it, she made this request.

"Well, it's yours, and this little thing isn't of much use anyway." The black-robed warlock spread his hands and handed the chain to Ciri, and then reminded, "I didn't cast a spell of enslavement on him, so be careful not to run away with it, I'm not responsible for helping you get it back." ”

"Don't bother." Ciri took the chain and prepared to take the little creature upstairs to show Triss, who she had always felt was not a naturally occurring creature, and had not seen it in the Demon Hunter's Manual.
