Green maple.
Hearthfire Tavern.
"Look, look, look! There is a new official announcement on the tavern notice board. Another wave of new cards in the expansion pack will be released in advance preview!"
“After waiting for so long, it’s finally here!”
"Huh? It's strange, why is there only one card this time? That's it? The official is too perfunctory!"
"No, no, it's different. There were so many cards announced last time because they were all blue and white cards. When you get closer, take a closer look at the color of this new card this time."
"The color...fuck! Purple? Is it an epic card?"
Since the last time players collectively complained to the official, a certain bard played cards without martial ethics and secretly used new cards that had not been released yet, leaving them defenseless and seriously damaging the fairness of the game. That's why there was The current scene.
By the way, the official that players are looking for does not refer to the official in the real world. In "Falling God", in order to increase the immersion of players in the game, any complaints from players can be directly directed to the corresponding official NPC in the game. .
For example, the travel card is issued by the Adventurers Association, so the target of complaints for players is naturally the association.
Since then, the association immediately officially introduced the concept of [Expansion Pack] to the majority of Qingfeng players, and added a section similar to "Preview of New Cards".
In order to keep the travel cards fresh and interesting, and also to encourage adventurers to travel more around the world and explore the unknown, the expansion pack was born.
As the name suggests, every once in a while, the association will collect various events that happened on the mainland. After experts within the association and travel card masters invited from various countries, they will jointly study new cards and expand the card pool of travel cards. All new cards released during this period are summed up as "expansion packs".
What the players have translated themselves means that each game version will launch a new expansion pack simultaneously, and all the new cards in the expansion pack are produced based on the various plots in this version.
so.
Among the five countries that players can choose from when the server is launched, Thousand Islands and Yanyu are not to mention, they are both linked. Judging from the scale, they should be the main line of the current version 1.0 game.
The slightly less popular Guili and Winter also have their own local plots of "The Emperor's Departure" and "Escape from the Laboratory" respectively, and there are also scenes of "Northern Cross Fleet" and "Executive Officer" in the main storyline.
However, looking back at the last remaining Qingfeng, it seems that the presence of the five countries in the server is the lowest. Not only does it not participate in the main line of the version, there seems to be no plot worth mentioning in the local area. The situation is calm, as if the entire country They were all taken away by the legendary Fengshen who was very "fishing".
But in fact, just by playing the Travel Card, the Qingfeng players are very likely to have the richest plots among the Five Kingdoms, although their plots are all other people's.
As for the scene at the beginning, it was the result of complaints from players. Originally, the Adventurers Association waited until all the new cards in the expansion pack were confirmed before releasing them together. But now it has become that as long as there is the latest progress, Announcements in the tavern will be used to allow players to preview new cards in advance.
In this way, even if someone else comes up with a new card and beats them, the players will be convinced and won't scold you for "hanging cards on the wall".
Because of this, it is very important for Qingfeng card players to always pay attention to the information of new card previews, especially those with high rarity, because the strength of such cards is often very high, and one card may Cards can have a great impact on the battle situation.
The purple "epic" card that is being released now has naturally aroused the expectations of countless players.
but...
【Fallen Witch】
[Quality: Purple]
[Type: Unit Summoning Card]
[Mana consumption: 3]
[Basic attributes: 5/5]
[Card Effect 1: After playing this card, immediately discard three cards in your hand and randomly destroy three friendly units on the battlefield]
[Card Effect 2: Corrosion]
this...?
The Qingfeng players in the Hearthfire Tavern were confused and looked at each other.
They looked at the card, which seemed to be shrouded in black mist. The clean and neat miko uniform was covered with an ugly gray-brown cloak. The hood of the cloak fell down, covering most of the character's face. , only a pair of soulless eyes that seemed to be frustrated could be seen in the shadows.
"This... you can use three mana points to summon a unit with 5 attack and 5 health. It is indeed a super model, but this card skill... is it serious?"
"Not only do you discard the cards in your hand, but you also kill three random units on your field?"
"Good guy, you're going to sacrifice your teammates when you go out, right?"
"Is this worthy of "epic level" rarity?"
"My evaluation is that it is a pure 0-point garbage card! Whoever leads it is stupid!"
Amidst the scoldings from the players.
Suddenly there was a distinctive voice.
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Doesn't this card have a second card effect?"
Everyone followed the voice and looked over, and what came into view was the familiar dark green cloak.
The bard, who looked harmless, took out a card from his arms after successfully attracting the curiosity and attention of the players.
Many players in the tavern stared wide-eyed, because this card was exactly the epic card [Fallen Witch] just released in the announcement.
"Fuck! Why don't I seem surprised at all?"
"Brother Meng, this guy is definitely an official insider! Otherwise, why can he come up with new cards every time?"
"But he just said that this card is not that simple? What about the second card effect?"
"Indeed, what does this entry [corrosion] mean?"
The players talked a lot, waiting for the bard to give them an answer, but the bard pretended to smile mysteriously, trying to keep it secret.
"Don't worry, don't be anxious. The Journey Card comes from a true story. If you want to unleash the true power of this card, you must first understand the story behind it."
After the bard finished speaking, he took off his hat.
A few seconds later...
Anxious players: "Then you should tell the prototype story behind that card!"
Shake your hat, shake your hat...
Players: "..."
Everyone stepped forward and put the small reward money into the bard's hat. Speaking of which, this hat is also magical, like a bottomless pit. No matter how many silver coins and copper coins the players put in, they can all be collected without seeing anything. It looked like it was full. After waiting for it to be almost full, the bard took out a small harp from nowhere as if by magic. Along with the slow and melodious rhythm, there seemed to be a magic power that attracted the attention of the players involuntarily. Everyone was focused on it, and the next story came from the bard's mouth.
"Legend has it that a long time ago, a group of migrating hungry monsters set their sights on a human village. The only thing the villagers could rely on was the witches from the mountain shrine. When they asked the witches to come down from the mountain, the monsters had already asked The village launched an attack, and when the miko arrived, although the monsters were repelled, the villagers suffered heavy casualties."
"The witch felt guilty, so she decided to stay and help the village restore its original appearance. However, although she was powerful, she could not manage the village at all because she had lived in the mountains for a long time, and the village became increasingly declining."
"So, people finally appeared in the village and wanted to leave. But when they left, they had bad intentions and wanted to steal all the wealth in the village. Fortunately, the witch discovered it in time, but the kind-hearted witch , in the end they just confiscated the stolen things from the other party and drove them out of the village."
"But what the kind-hearted witch didn't expect was that these resentful people, instead of being grateful for the witch's kindness, actually came back quietly at night after being expelled from the village, and this time they were no longer stealing. It was a fire that burned down the village's only granary. After satisfying their desire for revenge in the raging fire, they walked away."
"When the witch and the villagers extinguished the fire, all that was left was the granary reduced to ashes. This caused the negative emotions accumulated by the villagers to finally explode. The villagers began to accuse the witch of why they let those traitors go. He scolded the miko for asking everyone to gather the food together and distribute it evenly, and he hated the miko for not being able to arrive in time when the monsters attacked the village. He directed the most vicious words at the miko to vent his hatred."
"In the end, the villagers drove the witch out of the village. However, the next day, the monsters that had been defeated by the witch appeared again out of nowhere. This time, the villagers who lost the witch could not resist at all. If we can’t get rid of the monster, eventually the whole village will become the monster’s meal.”
"The last villager who fell in a pool of blood seemed to see a female figure wearing a cloak among the monsters with his blurred vision..."
After listening to the bard's story, the players in the tavern finally understood how the effect of this card came about while reminiscing.
The death and injury of villagers corresponds to the elimination of friendly units, and the burning of granaries corresponds to discarding cards in the hand. The witch's tragic experience in the story has also been completely reproduced. People hate her, just like when players see this card, The first reaction was to be extremely disgusted, and no one wanted to take him with him.
Can...
"That's not right! Hey! Singer, the story has been told, but what does it have to do with what you said, this card is not that simple?"
"Yes, there's no sign of corrosion at all, right?"
"Could this guy just make up a story casually to defraud everyone of their money?"
Faced with the doubts and confusions of the players, the bard did not panic at all.
"Everyone, don't worry, there is a second version of my story!"
"The...second version?"
"Yes, it's the same village and witches, as well as the same hungry monsters migrating through. But the difference this time is that when the villagers sent people to the mountains to find the witches, it happened that a mage happened to meet this small village on the way. By the time the witch came down from the mountain and arrived at the village, the passing mage had already taken care of all the monsters."
"After the crisis was resolved, the miko wanted to go back, but the villagers were afraid that the monster would come back, so they asked the miko to stay in the village and trusted the miko to manage the village. However, this time the miko knew that she was not competent. So she thought of another way. Whenever she faced a decision, she would use magic to contact one of her noble friends and ask him to help manage it."
"So, with the help of Miss Miko's noble friends, the village became more and more prosperous, but on the other hand, prosperity inevitably led to evil thoughts in some people's hearts. A group of villagers stole everyone's treasures and escaped from the village. , but before they were discovered by the witch, they met another group of real thieves."
"No one expected that the leader of this group of thieves had been favored by a witch. So after finding out the situation, he killed the thieves and let the carriage carry the stolen treasure back to the village gate. ."
"Later, the monsters did come back, but this time, the witches didn't need to take action. A militia had been formed. The villagers who had money to buy iron armor and swords defeated the monsters with their own hands. Waiting for After the war, when the villagers looked at their growth and wanted to thank the original miko again, the miko lady had quietly left."
When the bard's second version of the story was finished, the players in the tavern seemed to vaguely grasp something. After seeing this, in the spirit of professional ethics, the bard finally took the initiative to reveal the answer to the mystery.
He took out three more ordinary blue and white cards from his arms.
[Vulcan Cult Apprentice], [Arrogant Noble], and [Treasure Thief Trainee Thief]
Under the curious eyes of the players, after he took out these cards respectively, when the bard showed the [Fallen Witch] in his hand to the players...
"Fuck...fuck!!" Many poker players in the tavern exclaimed.
Because not only has the character portrait on the card changed, there is no longer a shabby cloak, no shadows and black mist, even the description of the card effect has changed.
[Card effect 2: Purified, replace effect 1 with, after playing this card, draw three cards and randomly destroy three enemy units]
"Awesome!"
"The design of this card is interesting. It turns out it can be transformed, so the condition is that in the first few rounds, you have to play the mage, noble and rogue types of followers?"
"Although the triggering conditions are a bit harsh, the effect is simply invincible!"
"I say this is the most powerful epic card. Who agrees and who opposes it?"
"Hurry up and open up the collection channels!"
After the excitement of the players in the tavern subsided a little, everyone realized a problem and looked at the bard again.
This guy...
How come you know everything! ?
Can you tell me how to get the card from him? No, this guy already has one, so he must know how to get it.
Currently, Green Maple players can only obtain the basic package by opening card packages, but how to obtain the new cards in the expansion package is still a mystery.
The bard shook his head at this.
Because in fact, he didn't know, or he hadn't thought about it yet. After all, once that decision was made, Qingfeng might really become a country of cards, a country that "swore to the covenant".
but.
The bard thought that he could reveal a little bit about what the next new card will be released, so as to leave some suspense, so that he can... ahem, earn money for the next drink.
If the news brought by Feng'er is correct, then the new card that is likely to appear later will be...
"Legendary" weapon cards...right?
