When strangers meet in the Prophet's Association, the atmosphere of conversation is quite friendly due to the presence of Rhodes cards. Shade slowly introduced himself while shuffling the cards. There is a blue sky above the head, with big white clouds floating above, and the winter heat downstairs behind me.
Busy square. Even if it wasn't for waiting for Luvia, Shade would still be willing to spend time here:
"I just got off the train yesterday and visited an acquaintance. I planned to go to the Valley Wetland outside the territory today to see the scenery, but after all, I still wanted to see what the local Prophet Association looked like. I planned to leave after taking a look, but I didn't I thought of seeing this terrace.
I have to admit that if it is a warm summer afternoon, it would be so pleasant to enjoy afternoon tea under an umbrella while playing cards with friends. "
"Actually, the scenery in winter is not bad either."
The gentleman with a local accent said, obviously resonated with Shade:
"I love playing cards here all year round. Even though the temperature and environment are better indoors, I still love it here."
Shade then took advantage of the situation and asked:
"Well, since you have nothing to do, would you like to play a few games?"
He slapped the deck of cards on the table on the front left side of his body, pulled it to the right, and the deck of cards extended on the table in an arc.
The gentleman opposite Shade smiled and nodded:
"It's so fun to play cards with strangers who unexpectedly come to the local area on such a pleasant morning. I forgot to introduce myself, Donald Antonio. If you are interested, I can introduce you to the local area while playing cards. , your local
The scenery and folklore are well understood. "
"It's wonderful that you are John Watson, a writer who traveled in the old continent, and although a native of Delrayon, has spent more time in Carson Waike in recent years. Mr. Tonio, Could he be a folklorist?"
Nas asked without any worry, and the middle-aged man shook his head slightly:
"Of course, you are also a writer. You are a novelist and a playwright. You write scripts for opera companies, and you also write musicals and poems. Has he heard of the Golden Dawn Opera Company? You He also wrote scripts for us, although he can still
Next show, but not selected yet. "
"This is really amazing."
Nass admired, and that was a sincere admiration. Looking at Mr. Tonio’s appearance, I am one of the few people who can support myself through writing. I am the kind of person who deserves respect no matter in which era.
Mr. Tony Ao shook his head reservedly and paused while shuffling the cards:
"On this lovely afternoon, I met a familiar person I could chat with. It was truly a fateful encounter. Mr. Watson, do you want to bet ordinary cards with you?"
Nass denied that it was a rather unappealing offer, but unfortunately, I was playing in a city where I could show off my deck:
"Sorry, are there any ordinary rules cards in the deck you brought with you today? I originally wanted to take a look there, and then I went directly to the domain to sightsee the scenery."
I said quite politely.
Mr. Tony Ao expressed his understanding:
"It doesn't matter. You can't play cards first. He will definitely lose. When there is no time, he will give you his own cards."
"This is because you took advantage of it. You will definitely lose. You can't bet 5 crowns on it first."
Nas said with a smile. After the two discussed the bet arrangement, they each checked the deck and shuffled it. There are no two ordinary rules cards in playwright Mr. Tony O'O's deck. I didn't mention which card to bet Nas on, which usually means Nas wins.
Previously, the bank chose a card at random.
Since it is just a private card game, we also plan to formulate simple rules. After all, the competition is to kill time, so there are eight wins in seven games. In each game, the first to win two rounds of losses wins the game, and the previous game is played back before reshuffling. So I am very lucky
There are a few draws, and that poker game will probably last a long time.
"Antony Valley City is really a good place. Although it is as prosperous as Willendale, at most you can see blue skies every season."
The two were chatting and drawing cards. Nass looked at his hole card, Star 3, and took the seventh one:
"I heard that the forests, river valleys and mountain scenery outside are very beautiful."
"Yes, the wood produced in the Yinsongyan Forest in the domain is unknown in the entire United Kingdom; the Anthony Valley Wetland and the Eldron Creek are the origins of the domain city; as for the mountains further east , this is a good mining area, especially stone mines, this
The land was also known as Stonemason's Country because of these mining areas. "
Mr. Tony Ao smiled and praised, while Nas compared the locations of those scenes under the map in his mind.
The western part of Song Yanjiang River Valley City is an impact plain, the southern and northern terrains are more rugged, and the eastern part is surrounded by mountains, almost turning the plain into a peninsula. The Antonine Valley refers to the location behind the city, and the Erdron River is the river connecting the city to the mountains.
this area. Surrounding the river valleys and brooks, not the Inshade Forest.
I thought to myself that the winner of the first round of the first game had not yet been decided. Nas stopped at 18 o'clock, while Mr. Song Yanjiang'ao stopped at 17 o'clock.
"Maybe you should have been more adventurous just now."
The playwright said without any annoyance, and then continued to draw cards with Nas:
"Because of the ordinary environment of river valleys, streams, and mountains, there are fewer local legends and stories than in other regions and cities. For example, there are rumors that no elves lived there after a long, long time, and we left very few beautiful things. story, in the forest of Inshade,
Even the ruins and remains of the treehouse we left behind cannot be discovered. "
"Elf? This is really a beautiful story."
Nas glanced at the Flower 13 and Sun 4 in his hand, and knocked on the table firmly, meaning to stop trading.
Mr. Tony Ao continued to draw cards:
"Yes, to this day, no one claims to have seen elves in the depths of the forest. Yes, it is impossible that no one has accidentally eaten poisonous mushrooms outside the forest. Oh!"
I showed my hand to Nas, Sun 7, Flower 9, Moon 8, 24 points bust:
"What a blessing. It seems that taking too many risks is okay."
That way, Nurse won the first game.
"You've eaten poisonous mushrooms before."
The two continued to draw cards, and Mr. Tony Ao said something not shocking:
"Of course, I ate it by mistake. But the feeling at the time was really strange."
"Yu also saw the elf?"
Song Yan asked with a smile, and the playwright shook his head:
"An even more fantastical scene. The ground and sky have turned into strange color blocks. The chaotic colors have dyed everyone in color. The ground is shaking and the sky is rotating. It’s just you who are not rotating. This time you are enough I was in a coma for seven hours, but before I could get rid of you
It created a very boring story. "
Nass laughed dryly and did not comment. Poisonous mushroom poisoning was considered a small news in that era. Mr. Tonio was obviously the lucky one.
In the first round of the seventh game, both players stopped at 18 points, so they continued to draw cards.
"Of course, except for the elves, there are no rumors of forest stone statues in the local area. According to legend, the small land in the Anthony Valley is alive, and the moist soil will merge into human shapes and have the ability to move freely. He must be in the local area. Souvenir shop, see what it looks like
Beautiful clay statue, but it must feel strange. Those are unknown local souvenirs, and Mr. Watson cannot take one or two with him as gifts for his friends when he is about to leave. "
This sounds like the alchemy puppet of the ring magicians.
In the seventh round of the seventh game, Song Yan's Star 7, Flower 12 and Sun 9 busted, but Mr. Tony Ao also busted. The gentleman lamented that his luck seemed to be very good today.
"Aren't there any more boring legends in the local area? When you were chatting with the innkeeper yesterday, you heard me mention some rumors about the key."
Song Yan asked, squinting her eyes and revealing a new round of trump cards, but in fact, I have never heard anyone talk about it.
"You are vague about that, but due to the mining of mines in the eastern mountains of the city, people found that there are not many natural caves on the local ground. Therefore, no one has guessed that there will be no underground people living in your area. On the feet."
"Underworld Kingdom? That's boring. Oh, you stop, 20 points."
"You are at 18, so try your luck again. Well, the flower is 10, you are really lucky."
Mr. Song Yanjiang'ao threw the drawn cards aside and continued the previous round of card drawing in the seventh game:
"There are not very simple beliefs in the local area. The development of the Zhengshen Church there is very wrong. Yes, there are not many interesting festivals in the local area. Those festivals have nothing to do with the folk customs and legends of the old times. Almost every season There are no activities, such as winter, not yet
On the seventh Monday before the Lunar New Year holiday, you will hold a winter ice sculpture activity to celebrate that half of the winter of ice and snow has passed. Unfortunately, it has not started yet. And when the first Song Yanjiang flower blooms and before spring officially ends, the city hall and local nobles,
The Chamber of Commerce will jointly fund and hold a grand city banquet, and it will be very quiet on this day every year. "
Nas nodded and showed his 20 points. That time I drew a total of 4 cards. Mr. Tony Niao'o stopped at 2 points, and I stopped at 19 points.
Nass won the seventh game. Mr. Tony O'ao was not worried, but less excited.
"What about summer and autumn?"
"In summer, before the first light rain before summer every year, there is no summer rowing competition. He also knows that the city is most in need of rowing rivers. From the mountain pass, go up the river and go through the city to the Anthony Valley. of the west end. Is over the last few years, because of competition
When anomalies are affected the cargo ship exits, so the town hall is talking about those happy topics. "
Mr. Tony Ao smiled and shook his head:
"Autumn is the Harvest Festival, and the tradition of that festival is to give food to each other with your neighbors. Last year, you received tea rock cakes from the neighbor's old lady, but you couldn't bite them. So you came to soak in the water and found that you can cook them. It's the wrong soup."
