readx; The 43rd Tarot Card (Part I)

It was originally a thunderstorm in midsummer, but it became a cold rain in early autumn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBetween the mountains, it was already a little cold, but after this rain, the weather became even colder.

The bonfire at the entrance of the cave was constantly swaying with the wind, flickering and dimming. The world outside the cave was dark and colorless, and I didn't know if it was dusk or early morning.

The group had been trapped in the cave for a day and night. The last time I was trapped in a cave, there was a river outside the cave, and there were giant crocodiles in the river. This time, it was just wind and rain blocking the road, and people's mood was naturally much better. And the people in the cave at the moment are much more harmonious with each other than last time.

The fat man Martin was very idle, so he asked Lao Ji about some of his past ranger experiences. Lao Ji is a little older, and he does have some life experience, so he talked nonsense. Lao Ji said most of the wild history and miscellaneous stories on the mainland, and also had some of his own personal experience. Some of them were also listened to by Cui Xue with great interest, but there were many contents that contradicted what Lu Qi and Yao Shuo knew.

Yao Shuo was curled up in a corner of the cave alone, not talking much, maybe he also knew that there was something inappropriate with Cui Xue and his party, at least it was embarrassing. But I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, he always feels that the place he wants to go is very similar to the place Cui Xue and they are going, so he walked around and walked to one place. Yaoshuo's entourage did not attract the welcome of the rangers, or even the welcome of Xiaogu, but it definitely ushered in the welcome of several female knights of Lilian.

Shine in the firelight was even more handsome, in stark contrast to the fat man Martin with an oily face on the other side of the fire. The fat man looked at Yaoshuo from time to time, but in Yaoshuo's own eyes, it was more like 'eyebrow flirtation', which is why he would stay away from Demarin.

Cui Xue is still relatively kind, and after the game he brought is roasted, he naturally gives Yao Shuo a portion. Yao Shuo didn't say anything, and naturally took the food handed to him by Cui Xue, and after eating, his handsome face couldn't help but show a look of praise. Perhaps, he was thinking that Cui Xue, this kid, is extremely qualified to be an imperial chef.

Papa~ The firewood constantly makes the sound of being roasted, adding a bit of life to the cave.

"How big is the dragon? The dragon is 100 meters long...... The Dragon's Tooth...... At least there is such a big ......" Lao Ji Mei said with a fluttering eyebrow, how he had seen the ancient dragon teeth turned to stone in the far west near the wilderness, and how people competed for treasures in the desert.

Cui Xue listened with a grin, and the princess naturally tilted her head, comfortably rested her head on Cui Xue's shoulder, and listened with a smile. I don't know when it started, and the two of them kept this posture.

......

"It's a pity~ People are always short-sighted, it would be nice if they could see the future!" Lao Ji took a sip of water and couldn't help but sigh after telling the story he had heard about the horror island. In some of his stories, the theme is always that people are often killed because of their greed and short-sightedness, and the root cause is that they can't see the future.

"Spy into the future, what kind of magical power is this? How can ordinary people do it?" Buddha He, who hadn't spoken for a long time, couldn't help but interject, which showed that he had been listening to Lao Ji's story.

"Ah~ I have tarot cards in my bag, maybe I can do the math?" the lively Lilian suddenly proposed. Naturally, she didn't really believe that tarot cards could calculate the future, but it just happened that the topic was here, and she happened to have a deck of tarot cards, so she thought of using tarot cards to continue to pass the time.

"Don't be ashamed!" Lu Qijiao sighed, she had never believed in these things, and she didn't want Lilian to lose face here.

Lillian stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and didn't dare to say anything more. She also knew that the princess didn't believe in the astrology and divination techniques 'invented' by these Western magicians, but she didn't think of it on a whim.

How do you know that this is a point that Cui Xue is interested in. Cui Xue came from other worlds where science was prosperous, and he was most interested in legendary magic (flying swords, cultivation and the like were naturally also interested), so he smiled: "Don't be so fierce, she also proposed something as a pastime." Anyway, it's playing, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, everyone has fun. It's weird in the hole, too. ”

Lilian couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Cui Xue speaking for herself, and squinted at the princess to see what she meant. Not only her, but Kelly and Amanda were also interested in tarot cards, and they all looked at the princess.

Lu Qi pouted and smiled: "Since you are interested, then do I dare to stop them?" The tone of his voice seemed as if Cui Xue was a princess.

Cui Xue said happily when he heard this: "Then play?"

The princess smiled and nodded, and Lillian said 'oh yes' and turned to take the cards.

The people from Linzi in the cave looked at the princess and Cui Xue in disbelief, but when they saw the princess resting comfortably on Cui Xue's motionless and subtle expressions on her face, they understood seven or eight more points in their hearts.

Tarot cards are quite popular in Cui Xue's world, but they are mostly gadgets, and there are not many people who really do it. Although the tarot cards in this world have the same name, they are completely different in concept. Originally, tarot cards were strictly limited to the use of magicians and were not accessible to ordinary people. It is only in the last two hundred years that it has gradually passed from the hands of magicians to the hands of ordinary people, and after several changes and adjustments, this tarot card has gradually taken on the nature of entertainment, not just a serious divination tool.

Magicians are roughly divided into four major factions according to the habits and techniques used in magic:

The first type, the Western magician, is good at using props, mainly in the application of spells, and likes to specialize in how to spy on the future and fate, the most famous is the invention and use of tarot cards, often wearing gray short robes, walking between human towns.

The second type is known as naturalist mages, these magicians usually use spells and hedrons to assist in casting spells, and are good at natural spells such as water, fire, ice, and earth.

The third type is called traditional magicians, these magicians are mysterious, like to drive animals, good at casting curses, and will use the bodies of various animals or treasures from ancient times when casting spells, often have great strength, but the image is terrifying, and they are famous for their magic that is good at attacking people's hearts.

The fourth type of magicians is called dark magicians, they walk in the dark, in the company of legendary demons, using flesh and soul as objects and tools for casting spells, which is despised by ordinary people, and is also the most mysterious type of magician.

Of course, magicians are passed down by word of mouth, and the skills they learn are closely related to their inheritance and their own creation, and each specific magician has his own unique style, and may not strictly belong to a certain category, so it is likely to be somewhere in between. After all, the division of the mage's faction is only very rough and informal. Magicians on the continent are usually hostile to each other, and there is no unified organization of magicians, so there is no sect or school in the strict sense.

Lillian took out the tarot cards, first briefly introduced the difference between the four factions of magicians that people on the mainland usually understand, and then began to divide the stack of tarot cards into two parts, ready to shuffle the cards.
