Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1726 Poker Time
"This is a close-up magic." Charlie's eyes flashed with surprise. Close-up magic is not so easy to perform, because it is too close to the audience, and it is very likely to be exposed.Therefore, a magician is required to have a very superb technique and a subtle grasp of details.

Xia Li actually likes close-up magic the most, because it is a type of magic that is highly interactive with the audience, and she enjoys the pleasure of deceiving sentient beings at close range.

Therefore, Xia Li looked more carefully.

The magician was still calm, and said to the most luxurious person present: "Next, please draw a card, you don't need to tell me what it is. After you read it, you can insert it into the deck in front of you at will."

The man did as the magician ordered. With everyone watching, it was difficult for the magician to cheat, and he just took the cards in his hand and began to shuffle them.

Not long after, the magician took out a card: "Did you just draw this card?"

The audience roared with laughter: "No."

The magician looked disappointed, shuffled the cards again, and took out another one: "Is it this card?"

"No." Everyone began to laugh, and the magician's face seemed to be scorched.

Although everyone was laughing, in Xia Li's view, the magician looked anxious, but there was a kind of indifference in his eyes.

The third card, the magician still did not draw, but no one laughed at the magician at this time, because the magician drew an 8 of spades this time.

The magician drew twice before, the first time was an 8 of hearts, and the second time was an 8 of diamonds. They didn't pay attention to it before and just thought it was a coincidence.But the third time, the 8 of spades was drawn, and something was obviously wrong.

"Since, these three are not." The magician looked at the three 8s in disappointment, finally sighed, and drew the last card from the deck casually: "Then it must be this card?"

——Plum Blossom 8.

When the person who drew the card before saw this 8 of clubs, his eyes flashed with surprise, because he had drawn the 8 of clubs before!

The magician performed a little trick, showed off a skill, and played tricks on the crowd, and finally ended with a climax of drumbeats, which was so ups and downs that the crowd couldn't help applauding.

When Xia Li saw this scene, at first she wondered if the pattern on the back of the card was causing the trouble, such as the magician marking the trace number, but she looked carefully, but couldn't find any clues.

What exactly is going on?How can a magician do it without using supernatural power?
As a magician herself, Xia Li can vaguely guess that it may involve the change of suit points, the subtlety of technique, the mystery of position, the ability to observe words and colors, and the most important psychological hints.

But how did the magician find out, Xia Li has not yet understood.However, she did not intend to ask Angel. She is a magician who respects her profession. She naturally understands how rogue deciphering magic is. Instead of asking and getting a general answer of "so it is", it is better to think about it slowly. study.

The illusion did not stop, and the magician went to several tables, performing magic tricks at each table.

Including card reading, card divination, and card disappearing technique... etc. A series of magical skills that seem incredible, but in fact there is no magic power involved.

The more Charlie watched, the more excited she became, and the more she watched, the more fascinated she became.In fact, she herself had discovered some tricks of card magic. That kind of simple but very dazzling technique made Xia Li very amazed.

She also thought before, why would playing cards become the standard equipment for magicians?Now she fully understands that although the magician in the illusion only performed a few card tricks, behind the development of these tricks, one can see the ingenious card art, and the profoundness of knowing the whole leopard at a glance.

Just looking at this illusion, Xia Li couldn't wait to do card magic by herself.She doesn't need others to teach her how to do card tricks. With her intelligence, she can develop new tricks by herself.

When the illusion ended, Xia Li was still immersed in the world of card magic, and it took a long while before she came back to her senses.

Xia Li looked at Angel, her eyes sparkled: "Although I haven't understood the mystery of card magic, I now know why there is card magic. It is indeed amazing!"

Angel smiled: "Card magic is amazing, but it's just a trick of mortals. The deck of playing cards I refined doesn't exist just for card magic."

Looking at the poker cards still floating around her, Xia Li naturally understood this.It was impossible for Angel to just give her a deck of ordinary playing cards, and it seemed to have a deeper effect.

Angel: "This iron box and the playing cards are a whole. When you open the iron box, you will enter a special illusion."

"Illusion?" Xia Li looked around suspiciously, but she didn't feel the existence of illusion at all.Even Greya raised her eyebrows. Although she could feel the subtle fluctuations around her, she didn't find any illusionary nodes.

"This is a special kind of illusion, and I named it—poker time." Angle paused: "You can understand it as a stage carrying the illusion of playing cards."

"When you open this iron box, you automatically enter the poker time. After entering the poker time, every poker card in the box will become a phantom cornerstone."

While talking, Angel casually took two cards from around Xia Li.

One is a black and white clown card, and the other is a club guard card.Following Angel's actions, two cards burst out at the same time, the black and white clown jumped out of the cards, and the plum blossom guard also jumped out of the cards with a long sword.

The darkness struck again, and before Xia Li regained consciousness, she felt the light of a knife appear in front of her.

Xia Li dodged subconsciously, but a gust of icy wind brushed her cheek.

In the shudder, the light returned again.The guard and the clown returned to the card, and everything seemed to be at peace, but the knife cut on Xia Li's cheek and the oozing blood showed that things were not that simple.

Angel put the two cards back into the deck in front of Xia Li, and said softly: "During the poker time, if you randomly draw cards and combine them, the combinations will have different effects depending on the illusion."

"Heal, defend, attack, confuse, trap, summon...or simply create an illusion stage, you can do whatever you want."

"The deck just now is a round of "Night Attack" composed of two cards. "

After Angel briefly explained the effect, Xia Li was already stunned.This sounds very complicated, but it's inexplicable... with emotion!
Even though Xia Li behaved very well in front of Greya and Angel, it was only because of the difference in strength and status that she didn't dare to make mistakes.Everyone knows that the real Xia Li is actually a very naughty witch.

This kind of poker time full of unknown challenges made Xia Li's repressed stubbornness start to burn.

Moreover, these card combinations can not only be used for offense and defense, but different illusion combinations are also very useful for her magic performance.

Charlie had already figured out how to use poker time to juggle... the audience.She even thought of a name, so she called it—Poker Killer!

Angel just briefly introduced the functions of poker, then stopped, and didn't go into details.Many things are better left to Xia Li to study by herself.Moreover, the gameplay developed by Angel does not necessarily apply to Xia Li.

Angel didn't say any more, and Xia Li didn't ask any more, because she was already immersed in the research.

Seeing Xia Li's dignified appearance, Angel knew it without asking, and Xia Li was very satisfied with this deck of playing cards.

When Xia Li was researching, Greya also praised: "This playing card is probably the most interesting alchemy work I have seen in these years. Once it is announced, it will probably attract a lot of attention. Maybe there are many alchemists." Warlocks will emulate it."

Angel was noncommittal. Oftentimes, alchemy works are also selective. Poker cards are very suitable for Xia Li, but not necessarily suitable for other people.

"However, what interests me the most is the story behind the playing cards. After all, the matter of the city that never sleeps is still an unresolved problem." Greya looked at Angel curiously, trying to ask for an answer.

However, Angel didn't say anything.It's not that he didn't say it, but that he didn't know either.

Who knows where the playing cards in Nightmare Realm come from.Just like the people in Pat Manor, Angel doesn't know why they can find the corresponding names in Nightmare Realm.

Perhaps, when Jon was brought into this world by the Eye of Extraterrestrials, something had already begun to change.
