Cards are born to be king

Following the path, Jiang Yong walked all the way back to Carter Town.This is where Fei Lian was born.Carter Town is located on the border of the Heinwalt Empire in the extreme northern ice sheet. Because it is adjacent to the Sunset and Dusk Forest, many adventurers often come and go, so the town can be considered prosperous.

At this moment, there are some cotton-like snowflakes floating in the sky leisurely, and the eyes are pure white.Before entering the town, Jiang Yong carefully checked Fei Lian's memory and network of connections. The town is not big, and almost everyone in it knows each other.If any aspect is exposed, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.

"Beep beep."

A small head popped out of his jacket pocket, looking around vigilantly.But before he could call out twice, Jiang Yong pushed him back.

"Be quiet, don't be foolish."

Jiang Yong has no time to take care of this owl right now, he just wants to sneak into the town safely, and then go to the library to find out how to get back his lost lifespan.The path that they are taking now does not lead to the main entrance of Carter Town, but a secret entrance accidentally discovered by some children from the poorhouse like Fei Lian.

According to his memory, Jiang Yong quickly found the gap in the wooden fence that was bitten by an unknown beast.

"Phew, everything is going well for now."

He muttered, curled up and drilled in.

"Okay, Fei Lian, I knew you were hiding here!"

All goes well with pi.

Damn I'm lucky e!

As soon as he almost got in, Jiang Yong's ears were pinched by someone.The man was merciless and directly twisted his ears almost in a circle.

Jiang Yong was shocked by the unexpected attack and the severe pain, and subconsciously wanted to fight back.However, my current body is really weak.Not to mention fighting back, he was almost picked up by his ears.

"Hey, you brat is getting fatter, don't you want to eat today's dinner?!"

Being carried to the front, Jiang Yong found that standing in front of him with cold eyes was a tall and fat aunt, with brown curly hair and an obvious western face, with a waist as thick as a bucket.This face was very clear in Fei Lian's memory. She was the manager of the poorhouse, and everyone in the town called her Aunt Winnie.

Dissatisfied with Jiang Yong's distraction, the aunt's other big hand patted the back of his head abruptly, making Jiang Yong stagger.Then the auntie dragged him forward in the posture of holding his ears.

"You are still lazy on such an important day today. I think your brains have been taken away by the hawk! I am warning you, your boy will be an adult in two months. Whether it is according to the new law or the old law, I can directly I threw you out. If I see you being so out of tune again, get out and eat yourself!"

"It hurts..."

Auntie's series of words were like fried beans, urgent and fast, Jiang Yong basically didn't hear clearly.He was in a hurry to save his ear from the aunt's hand, although the price was that he was pulled by the collar again.But at least this position is much more comfortable.

As soon as he was mentally prepared, he was dragged out by Yuanshen's acquaintances and dragged directly to the street, Jiang Yong burst into tears.The houses made of snow bricks are lined up on both sides of the street, and there are very few pedestrians on the road.At intervals, Jiang Yong could see blue-skinned guards with a height of more than two meters standing beside the road like iron towers holding long bone spears.

The Heinwalt Empire is a multi-racial country, in which the royal family and nobles are all Bruce, also known as blue-skinned people.But the closer to the border of the country, the greater the number of human races.In a small remote village like Carter Town, the human race accounted for more than 80.00%.If it weren't for today's special day, it would not be easy to see the Bruce family.

The complexion and appearance of most people on the street are quite normal, but all of them have Western faces, the ones on the same channel as the aunt, with yellow hair, red hair, blue eyes and green eyes, Jiang Yong thought he was abroad in a trance .But the conversations among the people around him brought him back to the cruel reality.

"Hey, tell me who is here. Last night we guarded the entrance of the town for most of the night, but we didn't see a single figure. In the end, the holy envoy ran away. It was a waste of suffering."

"Don't think about it, even if there are important people coming, they are just passing by. I guess they have already gone directly to the capital. Speaking of which, why is the card selection ceremony held so early this year? In previous years, it was not necessary to wait for the winter moon to pass. Are those old men coming to our place?"

"Who knows. But I heard that the envoy who came to supervise the ceremony this year is Lord Turan. He has studied in Orana, and now the most popular celebrity in front of His Majesty the King!"

"Ha, His Majesty the King values ​​star disciples? This is the biggest joke I've heard this year!"

"Give it up, let it all go!"

The further you go, the more people there are.Everyone rushed in the same direction.The streets that were not too wide suddenly became congested. Fortunately, the aunt's combat effectiveness was high, like Moses dividing the sea, she pulled Jiang Yong three times and squeezed out a road among the crowd.The people who were squeezed away were not annoyed, but greeted the aunt with a smile.

"Aunt Winnie, I see you are in a hurry today. Is there any young man in your courtyard old enough to participate in the ceremony?"

"No, there are two of them! If no one has potential this year, I will make them spit out the registration fee of [-] red coins! A bunch of money-losing brats, everyone is not worried. Look at this fee Lian, just take the children of the whole courtyard to no business. Hurry up and grow up!"

Aunt Winnie complained, carrying Jiang Yong all the way forward.Thanks to her broad body, Jiang Yong was blocked behind her, but he didn't have to face these passers-by.

Hearing her words, the pedestrians around all laughed.Someone even took the initiative to make way for her, and kindly reminded her.

"Just now the bell rang in the square. Judging by the weather, it seems that the ceremony has already begun. Isn't Sen Nuo from your academy going to choose cards this year? It seems to be his turn."

When the aunt heard it, she said she didn't care, but there was still a little anxiety on her fat face, and there were many more beads of sweat on her forehead.She thanked the man for his reminder in a rough voice, and then dragged Jiang Yong through the crowd like a cannonball, hurrying slowly, and finally came to a small square.

After all the tossing just now, Jiang Yong's heart has long since settled down.He was thinking about what he had just heard.Cards, star apprentices, card selection...does this have anything to do with the purple card I got before?

It wasn't until Aunt Winnie stopped that Jiang Yong came back to his senses and began to look at the surrounding environment.The ground of the central square is blue and solid ice, so smooth that people can be seen.In the center of the square is a statue of a goddess carved from pure white spar. In the right hand of the statue, there is an ice clock half the height of a person.

A platform has been temporarily built with wooden boards under the statue, and a not too long line is lined up under the platform. At a glance, they are all children who look like seven or eight years old.Countless people gathered outside the square at this moment, rubbing shoulders, but it was very quiet, and the tall blue-skinned guards maintained order.

Just when Aunt Winnie squeezed into the square with Jiang Yong, suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and the originally quiet square suddenly boiled with noisy voices!Jiang Yong subconsciously looked over there, but saw the most magnificent picture in his life.
