Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1725 Playing Cards

In front of Xia Li was a thick stack of cards.

The cards in the tin box were arranged delicately, with one stack at each of the four corners and two cards stacked in the middle.Because the backs were all facing Xia Li, I couldn't see the contents clearly at the moment, I could only see that the backs of the cards were exactly the same, full of geometric figures and various line patterns, a bit like a scene in a kaleidoscope.

"What is this?" Xia Li looked at Angel suspiciously. Is this something for magicians?How could she not know at all?
Angel didn't explain, but motioned Xia Li to take it out for herself.

Xia Li hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to touch one of the cards. The moment she touched it, the cards inside seemed to be activated, and all of them flew out of the iron box, arranged one by one regularly, Rotating around Xia Li's body.

Until then, Xia Li finally saw the contents of the card.

Four different patterns are hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs. There are thirteen cards for each pattern, and each card is marked with a common number and pattern. At this time, these cards circle around Xia Li at a uniform speed. rotate.

The only exception was that there were two cards in the box that did not move, and were quietly placed in the middle of the box. Even though the pattern on the back was the same as the other cards, Xia Li somehow felt that one card was different from the other four cards. The solemnity of color cards.

Xia Li still doesn't know what these cards are, but these cards give her a vague sense of intimacy, and she always feels that they match her very well.

On the other side, Greya looked at these cards, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

She always felt that she seemed to have seen these cards somewhere.

At this time, Xia Li didn't see any clues in the 52 known cards, so she set her target on the last two cards in the box.

An eerie laugh broke out as Charlie's fingers picked up one of the cards.

With a flick of Xia Li's fingertips, the card suddenly slid out, and then a burst of white mist exploded in the center of the card. A black and white clown, wearing a funny costume embroidered with four patterns, appeared in a strange posture. in front of her.

The moment the clown appeared, everything around him became dark, as if he had come to a dark night without a light source.

I couldn't see anything, I could only hear the clown's weird and sharp laughter.

Before Xia Li knew what happened, a hand suddenly reached out and took out the card suspended in front of Xia Li.

When the hand touched the card, the clown who had jumped out of the card before returned to the card, and the surrounding night also disappeared instantly, returning to the bright world again.

After recovering from her trance, Xia Li realized that the person holding the card was Greya who had been on the sidelines all along.

At this time, Greya was holding the card that jumped out of the black and white clown before, frowning and studying it.

"This card seems to have appeared in... the city that never sleeps?" Greya whispered softly, with a rare solemnity in her words.

The city that never sleeps?Xia Li hasn't realized yet, is it referring to the Sleepless City that has fallen in the Eternal Night Kingdom, or the Sleepless City that was forced to leave the Eternal Night Kingdom and build a new city?
Xia Li didn't understand what she meant, but Angel knew what Greya was talking about.

A monster from the Nightmare Realm—the Joker Card, or the Joker Card.

"Have you seen this card?" Angor asked curiously. The Joker card was first accidentally released by him in the Night Demon City of the Dark Demon Kingdom. Later, it is said that he went to Eternal Night with the Fox Harper and the Frog Singer. Kingdom, but Angel had never seen it in the city that never sleeps.

Greya shook her head: "I haven't seen it, but Candy House also has its own internal information channel. I know that there have been similar cards in Sleepless City... cards, but they seem to be much bigger than yours."

Greya took a closer look at the clown card, and handed the card back to Xia Li without seeing too many clues.Xia Li was still a little at a loss holding the card, and looked at Angel suspiciously, hoping to get an answer from him.

Since Angel had refined the deck, there was no reason to keep it secret, so he said directly, "This is a deck of cards."

What are playing cards?This was the first time Charlie had heard of such a weird name.Although she had a vague sense of closeness, would a magician really need such a prop?Also, what is the purpose of this deck of cards?
Although Xia Li didn't ask these questions, her eyes said everything.

Angel thought for a while: "In a very distant place, although it is far away from the wizarding world, the profession of magicians has also developed there. And playing cards are a kind of cards played by magicians. Or tool cards."

"Magicians use playing cards to develop a series of magic tricks, which are collectively called card magic."

Although Xia Li heard of card magic for the first time, as a dedicated magician, looking at the playing cards around her, these cards are full of numbers, patterns and patterns, and have faint logical connections inside. From her point of view, maybe she can really develop a series of wonderful magic tricks.

Angel: "I can simply show you, card magic."

That being said, Angel didn't intend to fight in person, but tapped his knuckles on the table, and a phantom appeared around them——

This is a large theater full of high-class atmosphere. On the stage stands a tall and straight man wearing a magician's costume, and under the stage are a group of nobles dressed as gentlemen. The air is full of red wine and extravagance.

A beam of bright light hit the magician gentleman, attracting the attention of everyone present.I saw him talking about a nasty joke that the common people didn’t understand, but the nobles tacitly understood it to warm up the scene. When the atmosphere was almost up, he took out a deck of playing cards, continued to speak jargon, and shuffled the cards with cut cards.

A layman looked confused, but Xia Li's eyes became brighter the more she looked at it, especially the magician's graceful shuffling movements, which were obviously full of flamboyance, and Xia Li couldn't help imitating them empty-handed.

Although this magician's conversation, temperament, and behavior are not the same magician as Xia Li, they have their own inner elegance.Especially the induction of movements, confusion of words, and various hints made Xia Li understand that if this person is a real person, he is definitely a very well-known magic master.

The magician finished shuffling the cards and walked off the stage.

The lights above the head have been following the magician, making everyone's eyes move accordingly.

The magician came to one of the tables under the stage. This table was the best viewing position, and the people on the seats were also dressed most luxuriously. Presumably, they were the most honorable people in the whole theater.

The magician stopped in front of the people at the table, said a few words in a very humorous manner, and then got into the main topic - performing magic tricks.
