The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

"Good afternoon, Professor Noel." Doctor Chester seemed to be in a high mood, perhaps because after so many years, he finally made up his mind to face his long-standing nightmare.

Beside him, the young man looked at Siles and Qindo curiously.

Chester introduced each other to them.The man's name was Alva Gillinny, a traveling companion Chester met on the train.They chatted almost all the way and got to know each other a little bit.

And, Chester also said: "Alva doesn't know much about the Land of No Embers, so he plans to follow us and go to Hales House."

Siles learned of this by accident, he nodded politely towards Alva, and introduced Qindo to him and Chester.Alva seemed completely unaware of Qindo's reputation, but Chester looked at Qindo with a little doubt, as if thinking of something.

Siles turned to say: "Cindo also intends to go to Hales House, the four of us can go together. By the way, we have to buy another ticket. If we are lucky, the four of us can be in the same box."

After 10 minutes, they were really lucky to buy the last ticket belonging to the No. 901 box on the "First Snow Light" train.

Alva Gillini looked to be in his early twenties, still a student, very young, with the energy and restlessness of youth.

According to his self-introduction, he is currently studying in an academy in the city of Ramifa.However, he did not directly say what his major is.This is not important now.

Alva fiddled with the ticket in his hand curiously, and said, "It's really interesting. I never thought that one day I would be able to go to the Land of Eternity."

Siles looked at him curiously, but didn't intend to ask at this time.

Promptly, perhaps impatiently, Ginto said, "We can go to dinner."

They returned to the Levi Hotel.There are some meals here, of course, the prices are a bit high.However, none of them paid particular attention to this.

After drinking and eating, they sat at the table and chatted.Both Chester and Alva are great talkers.

Therefore, although Siles and Cendo remained silent all the time——Cendo was completely silent, too lazy to speak; and Siles would occasionally participate in a sentence or two—the atmosphere of their conversation was still very lively.

From their conversation, Siles learned that Alva's family runs a printing factory, which is considered a very wealthy family.I don't know if it is because of this reason that his family has always been reluctant to let him go to the Land of Eternal Embers.

Alva was somewhat vague about this.But Siles could understand that, after all, most of the residents of Lamifa City believed that the Land of Embers was a dangerous and chaotic place.

However, Alva himself seems to be a young man with a very adventurous spirit.Therefore, as an adult, he worked hard to encourage his parents to allow him to venture into the Land of Never Embers.

Not long ago, Alva's parents finally let go.

After the Grayson Foods thing, his parents had planned to regret it.But Alva bought the train tickets first, and said goodbye to them on time when the time came, without giving them any chance to dissuade them.

That's why they could meet Alva here.

Alva knew little about the Everlands.Rather, in the past 20 years of his life, it seemed like he didn't know a single bit of information about Never Embers.

Everything I know is based on some information I searched temporarily after I decided on this journey.

He didn't even know much about the three regions of Galsworth, Gladstone, and Gainsted. He only knew that he could take a train from the border city of the Principality of Const to the Blighted Wasteland.

Dr. Chester had already heard Alva mention this point when he was on the train, but now when they talked about it, Dr. Chester was still a little incredulous.

Alva looked a little frustrated: "Because my parents and other elders are not happy for me to get in touch with information about the Everland. They said..." He paused here, and then said, "They think That place is too dangerous."

Sirius looked up at him.He felt a slight sense of disobedience.

Judging from Alva's lively and outgoing personality, his family should not be so restrictive and restrict him, otherwise Alva would not have grown into what he is now.

However, they just used "dangerous" as an excuse to prevent Alva from learning about the Everlands... This is a bit strange.After all, people in Fischer's world all knew about the existence of the Neverland, and they could often learn some news from the newspapers.

Why are you so unwilling to let the juniors get in touch with the Land of Eternity?Galsworth was a perfectly normal and safe trading city, even though Gladstone and Gainested were indeed dangerous.

The doubts in Siles' mind disappeared in a flash, but he didn't need to be so inquisitive about a stranger he met for the first time.Perhaps Alva is hiding some unspeakable secret.

Chester Fitzroy seemed to think so too. He comforted Alva and said, "Now, you can follow us to explore the secrets of the Land of Eternity."

Alva became excited almost instantly, and he said excitedly: "I am very grateful! I have longed for the Land of Embers for a long time, maybe I can also become a powerful and mysterious explorer!"

They chatted in the dining room until seven or eight o'clock, and then went upstairs to return to their rooms.At this time, a problem arose: Originally, Siles planned to live in a room with Chester, and Qin Duo alone.

But now Alva shows up.You can't let Alva and Qin live in one more room, can you?They are totally strangers.

Therefore, Chester gently put forward a compromise suggestion: "Why don't I live in a room with Alva, Professor, you and Mr. Praia?"

Siles looked sideways at Qindo.

Qin Duo nodded indifferently, and didn't seem to care much.

Siles also agreed to such a distribution arrangement. He bid farewell to Chester and returned to their rooms.

When he walked into the room on the left, Siles vaguely had a question in his mind: Qin Duo seemed to have brought his luggage into this room in the afternoon?

He had no time to think about it, because Qin Duo had already looked over and said, "You forgot, there is a trade fair tonight. Do you need to call them?"

Siles froze for a moment before remembering this.He said, "I'll ask."

So he knocked on the opposite door again.Dr. Chester heard what Siles said, thought for a moment, and finally yawned wearily: "Forget it, professor. I didn't sleep well on the train last night, and I plan to go to bed earlier.

"Just go. Maybe you can share with me what you saw at the trade fair tomorrow."

He turned around and asked Alva, and Alva gave the same reply—maybe, if Doctor Chester didn't go, Alva wouldn't dare to act with Siles and Qindo?

Siles nodded and let them have a good rest, then turned around and went downstairs with Qindo.

Cindo said, "The trade fair is located in the basement, and you have to enter through the small door on the side."

Siles said in a low voice: "I once participated in an underground trade fair in Ramifa City, which was also located underground."

Qin Duo laughed and said: "This group of people always feel that the underground makes them feel safer. However, if someone really comes to search, they will not be able to get out if they are blocked underground. They will catch a turtle in a urn."

Siles could not help but smile.

He felt that although Qin Duo was used to ridicule, if the target of the ridicule was not himself, then Siles could also smile with a relaxed attitude.

The young lady behind the counter on the first floor is still watching them with a sweet smile.

Siles followed Qindo into a wooden door on the side of the hotel, and then went down the steps.In the slightly dark underground, Siles could smell the smell of mud and dust, and heard louder and louder noises.

After a few seconds, his eyes suddenly brightened.This is a very wide and tall underground space.Different people set up stalls a little haphazardly and hawked.

Siles sees some ancient objects of unknown provenance.Most of the stall owners are mysterious and wear hoods, silently waiting for the arrival of customers.

"You can wander here as you please. There is a stable order here, and you don't have to worry about someone stealing your belongings," Cindo said.

Siles was taken aback, then whispered, "Thank you."

Qin Duo also seemed to have something he wanted to find, so he went to choose and buy it by himself.Siles walked along the aisle with great interest, admiring the items on the stalls.

There are many things that opened the eyes of Sirius, even feathers can be sold...even, very hot.

The stall owner noticed Siles' gaze and said, "Are you interested? This is the time track where you can use the ritual [Lightness of Body], and it really comes from the feathers of those birdmen!"

Birdman?Siles was surprised to hear this statement.

He shook his head cautiously and said nothing.

The stall owner sighed in frustration, and said sadly to himself: "These days, birdman's feathers are hard to sell! That damn withered wasteland development plan..."

Siles listened silently, and walked away quietly before drawing the stall owner's attention.

He thought to himself, sure enough, after Grand Duke Const announced the development plan of the withered wasteland, these small vendors were greatly affected.

Items that can be resold in the past have now become items on the official commodity list of the Principality, and may become a time track for the initiation ceremony of the New Revelator of the Historical Society in the future.

However, this is not what Siles really cares about.He had long guessed the impact on the market, merchants, explorers, etc. after the Blight Wasteland development plan was announced.

What really surprised him was the term "birdman".

Obviously, this is not an official title, but a colloquial term with a bit of contempt.

Bird people... people with feathers?The feathers also came from them...

Thinking of this, Siles suddenly thought of what was mentioned in Friedman's travel notes, where he met a person with feathers at a certain station.And that is the body mutation produced after being polluted.

Mutations.Siles thought.He had already encountered this kind of thing, and also witnessed someone's mutation.

In the manor of the Marquis of Austin, he witnessed the scene where the Marquis of Austin swelled into a mass of flesh under extreme madness, and was finally swallowed by a strange portrait.That was the irrevocable, crazy, twisted ending.

But in the Land of No Embers, such mutations seem to be more commonplace, and more...slight and harmless?

Does that seem to be a genetic trait?Confined to certain people, certain families, certain ethnic groups.

But it does have a strange power to it, like... some fixed timeline?As the stall owner said, the feathers of the "birdman" can become a time track for the ritual [lightness of the body].

While Siles was thinking, he continued to wander around the stalls.Some of the stall owners would enthusiastically solicit business, while others just stared at Siles silently and coldly.

Under those gazes, Sires felt a certain feeling of being spied on, as if these people were examining Sires' strength and identity, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Siles maintained a cold expression. Although he felt a little surprised by Maltz's atmosphere in his heart, he didn't intend to express this emotion.

Under his cold, deep gaze, many people also slowly abstained from their prying eyes.

Siles finally stopped at a booth, and what caught his eye was an old pocket watch.

Old things like this pocket watch are common in this underground fair.Siles saw some antique quills, oil paintings, ancient coins, teacups, toys, etc., but the pocket watch still attracted Siles at first sight.

Because on the cover of the pocket watch, a beautiful eight-petal rose pattern is drawn.

Siles moved in his heart, thinking of the eight-petal rose paper that Benton had given him, he couldn't help but stop, feeling a little coincidental.

In the field of occultism, the eight-petal rose has symbolic information such as rebirth and renewal.That happened to fit very well with some of Sirius' omens.This unseen conceptual fit made Sirius couldn't help asking the price of the pocket watch.

One minute later, Siles successfully bought the pocket watch by spending 1 duke coins.

According to the stall owner, this pocket watch also comes with a very rare ritual called [Time Correction].

When he first heard the name of this ritual, Siles thought it was a powerful ritual that could reverse time.But following the stall owner's explanation, he immediately realized that he was thinking too much.

In fact, the applicable occasions for this ritual are very rare.

In a dark environment or in other confined spaces, people cannot accurately feel the passage of time without knowing the specific time, so they cannot measure how much time has passed.

For example, it is difficult for people to count the seconds exactly, there will always be errors of one kind or another.

But under the effect of the constant ritual [time correction] carried by this ancient pocket watch, as long as you touch the pocket watch lightly, and then when you touch it next time, you can accurately perceive that since the last time you touched the pocket watch, How long has this time passed.

...This is not a tasteless ritual, but if you insist on it, it seems that you can't think of any application scenarios.

As a novelist, Siles could think of several interesting applications, such as a person hiding in a tomb... But in the final analysis, reality is not fiction.

But Siles happily paid for his own interests and preferences.

He held the pocket watch in his hand.The slightly icy hard metal surface aroused a chill in Siles' palm.He lifted the watch cover with his fingertips and watched the hands move under the yellowed glass.

There is a crack in the glass, which seems to indicate the exciting experience of the pocket watch following the adventures and explorations of the former owner.

Siles rubbed the crack with his fingertips to confirm that it would not affect daily use, then closed the watch cover and put it in his pocket.He is not in the ritual time now, so he cannot experience the magical function of [Time Correction].

He continues to wander around the fair and runs into Gindo.

Qin Duo stood in front of a certain booth, frowning and thinking.The stall owner looked at him tremblingly, as if he knew Qin Duo's reputation, so he acted as if he had been robbed at the moment.

Siles walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Duo came back to his senses, and said casually: "I'm thinking about whether to buy this thing." He casually pointed to an item on the booth.Siles looked over.

None of them noticed, and the stall owner inadvertently breathed a sigh of relief.

What Gindo was referring to was a fragment of what appeared to be some kind of pottery object, still covered in dirt, and the whole was shaped like a cylinder.Because it was just a fragment, it was placed in a very marginal position, not very conspicuous.

Siles wondered, slightly confused, why Cendo would want to buy this thing.

Then he was startled suddenly, subconsciously said: "The statue..."

"Yes. I doubt it," Cindo said curtly, and he turned to the stall owner, "Where did you get this?"

The stall owner was a man dressed as an explorer. He took a deep breath and seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he looked at Celes, then at Cindo, and finally said dejectedly: "That archaeological site in the northeast, Do you know?"

"The one near Kansas?"

"Yes." The stall owner nodded, "I got this thing from an explorer, but it doesn't seem to be useful, so I put it here and tried to sell it."

So Qindo and Siles looked at each other, and finally bought it decisively.Not expensive, he only spent 5 marquis coins.

Qin Duo seemed to dislike the item, so he took out a pair of black leather gloves from his pocket, put it on, and then picked up the thing that looked like a pottery item.

They walked to a certain corner of the fair.The human voice gradually became quieter.

Qin Duo fiddled with that thing, after a while, said: "This is like a knuckle."

Siles inevitably frowned, staring at the small, dusty thing.After a moment, he nodded in agreement.

"In Dewar's diary, he did mention many statues." Cindo said thoughtfully, "But those statues..."

"Is it human?" Siles continued his words, "However, what can prove this?"

Qin Duo thought for a moment, and said, "Things that see through the reality? If the statue is just an appearance, not the essence..."

Siles was slightly startled, and then said: "I have a ritual here." He paused, "I don't guarantee its effect, but at least you can try it."

Qin Duo glanced at him unexpectedly, as if he didn't expect that he could give a possible answer.So he handed the thing to Siles and said, "Then try it."

Siles looked down at the knuckles of someone who might have died hundreds of years ago, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Qindo, can I borrow your gloves?"

Qin Duo glanced at him with a half-smile.

Siles decided that, at least at this moment, for the sake of Qindo's past goodwill, no matter what Qindo said, he would remain calm.

But Qin Duo didn't say anything.He just handed over his left hand and said, "Take it off." His right hand held that strange statue fragment, so he couldn't take off the glove himself.

Siles lowered his eyes, took off the black leather glove, and put it on his left hand.He could feel the temperature left by Qindo inside the glove.This made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

…To be in contact with the knuckles of a certain corpse, or with the body temperature of Qin Duo, this seems to be an answer that does not need to be chosen.

But Siles still felt as if he had crossed a line.Maybe, he thought, let Gyndo hold it—but the guy just handed it to him, so Sirius didn't even have time to say no.

There is no need to hesitate or regret now.Siles quickly put aside these unnecessary emotions, took out a bottle of potion from his pocket with one hand, and took a sip.

Qin Duo said with a playful smile: "Do I need to turn my back?"

"No need." Siles can still give this basic trust.He answered Qindo briefly, then put on the spectacle frame that was always hanging on his chest, and then looked at the suspected pottery object.

Three seconds later, his left hand trembled slightly.

"It seems that the result is already very obvious," Qindo said.

Siles took a deep breath and whispered, "Indeed."

It was a shriveled human knuckle that had turned gray-black.It was probably the bone in the middle of the index finger, and the bone was covered with a thin layer of flesh.Sleeping in the collapsed temple for more than a hundred years, it has finally reappeared in the sky.

No one knows what happened to the owner of this knuckle.

Siles closed his eyes, then took off his glasses."This thing ... maybe we can find a place to bury it," he said.

Qin Duo's gaze carried a strange meaning.He said, "It's very kind of you, Professor Noel—you're still a professor?"

"Yes." Siles replied simply, "at Ramifa University."

Qin Duo nodded and said frankly: "I don't know much about Lamifa City, so I don't know the reputation of that university. But it seems that you are really a cultural person."

While chatting, they left the fair.

Siles asked: "You say I am a cultural person, but I feel that you should also have a good education?"

Judging from Qin Duo's conversation and his standard Const language, Qin Duo obviously already has outstanding knowledge in this era.But he always called Siles a "cultural man" in a joking tone.

"Well..." Qin Duo seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally, he said, "I received a relatively closed private education. It is different from the school you imagined."

"family Education?"

"Almost." Qin Duo said vaguely, "As for you, I'm afraid you are a scholar from an academy?"

Siles was not surprised that Cendo quickly shifted the blame from himself to Siles.Qin Duo seems to be used to keeping his past secret, and always asks the other party's situation in a slightly more aggressive manner.

Siles said: "It is true. I was born in a small village. I have been studying and going to school at the insistence of my mother. Then I was admitted to La Mifa University and became a research scholar. Finally, I successfully stayed in school... It was a very ordinary experience."

Of course, he ignored Professor Kabell's erratic past.

Qin Duo seemed to respond without asking any more questions.Siles didn't say much.They went outside the hotel, and under the cover of night, they buried the finger bone under a certain big tree.

Siles stood there quietly for a while, feeling a slight sigh in his heart.

Compared with the temple, the gods, and the power, those tiny finger bones are very inconspicuous.In fact, that is indeed only something that can be purchased with 5 marquis coins.

Human life is disguised as something else, and then it is logically put on the scale and becomes one end of the transaction.Behind this mysterious power, there are enough cruel reality and cold rules hidden.

They stood for a while.Although Cindo didn't seem to care about Sirius' actions, he stood there unexpectedly, and didn't show any impatient comments, but occasionally still looked at Sirius with that thoughtful look. Les.

After a while, they returned to their room on the third floor of the Levi Hotel.Under Qin Duo's disdainful gaze, the pair of black gloves was directly thrown into the trash can on the street.They each washed up quickly and went to bed and fell asleep.

Siles said goodnight politely.They hadn't said good night to each other on the train last night, but today, Siles thought he deserved to say good night to Cinder.

The lights are out.In the darkness, Qin Duo was silent for a long time, and finally came a soft "good night".At this time, Sires had already fallen into a peaceful sleep under the influence of Akamala's power.

After a long time, there was another chuckle in the quiet room.Those emerald green eyes looked at the night outside the window almost silently, and finally closed after a while, and slowly fell asleep.

At eleven o'clock the next day, after having brunch, the four of them arrived at Maltz's gray and dilapidated train station on time, waiting for the train to start.

Before departure, Alva, a young man, suddenly said that the next three days and two nights on the train would be very difficult.He proposed to take some fun things with him on the train.

Both Siles and Qindo have nothing to do with it. Dr. Chester is now in a very active state, as if he has returned to the high-spirited and happy mood of his youth, so he immediately nodded in agreement. .

Alva immediately took out a deck of cards from his bag, as if he had prepared it long ago.He said it was a form of entertainment that had just become popular nowadays.

No one else has heard of it, probably because it is more popular among younger groups.

After the "Light of the First Snow" entered the station and they entered box 901, while waiting for the train to start, Alva slowly introduced the gameplay of this entertainment method to them.

Box 901 means the first box in car 9.There are about ten boxes in a car, and each car has its own bathroom.

Their box is located at the front end of this car, a bit far from the washroom at the end of the car, but the air quality is relatively better.

When I entered, all four beds were unfolded.They assigned their beds, and in the end Siles and Cinder chose the upper two beds, while Alva and Chester took the lower one.

They folded the upper bunks and put the luggage under the bunks.Then they sat down around the small table.

Qin Duo naturally sat next to Siles, and Chester and Alva seemed to have no objection, and sat down on their own.Siles looked sideways at Qindo, and got an inexplicable look... So Siles had no objection.

Alva has already happily explained the gameplay.

During his explanation, Siles gradually understood.

The gameplay of this game is a bit similar to some card games on Earth, but the cards are not poker cards, but the main cards of the thirteen old gods from the past, and each old god card has three attached believer cards.

Believer cards aren't all that different.Each of the Old Gods cards has a generic "Pious Believers" card, and two unique, special Believers cards that belong to a particular Old God.

There are also two function cards, one is a universal card and the other is a blank card.

Therefore, this game called "Fate Cards" has a total of 54 cards.

What a coincidence.Siles thought absently.If it wasn't because he knew that this world was different from the earth, then he would have thought that such a card game was passed down from the earth.

After all, a poker deck has 54 cards.

Destiny Poker requires a minimum of four people to participate, three players and a dealer.Players need to draw an old god card at the beginning of the game.The old god cards cannot be illuminated.

The winner of this game is that, without exposing their old god cards, players need to gather all the old god cards plus the three attached believer cards to form a deck.

Once the old god card is exposed or pointed out, the player is out of the game.

After drawing the old god cards, the dealer will shuffle the cards.Undrawn old god cards will also be put back into the deck for shuffling.The dealer will draw three community cards after shuffling, and at the beginning of each player's turn, make up the community cards, and at the same time distribute a hand card to the player.

Among the public cards, except for the old god card which will be a hidden card and will not reveal the face of the card, the other cards will be open cards.This means that when the dealer makes up the community cards, he will see the face of the cards earlier than the players, because he needs to ensure that the old god cards remain in the dark state.

In each round, the player can choose to return a hand card to the croupier (the dark card and enter the waste pile), but cannot ask for replacement; he can also choose to replace a hand card with a public card, but in this way You must put your own hand cards into the public cards.

Players can hold up to five cards in hand, and need to hold at least two cards in hand.

Because in the process of returning and replacing the cards in the hand, it is very likely to expose the content of the old god card camp and the existing believer cards, so the player must carefully consider how to reorganize the card group.

In addition, since players can hold up to five cards in hand, the extra card outside the faction is also worth considering and thinking about.

There is only one case for the change of the old god card, that is, to exchange with the old god card in the public card, and after the exchange, the original old god card needs to be revealed, and it will be discarded and kept by the croupier.

Of course, if the player is issued a second old god card, he can also choose not to exchange it and keep it in his hand temporarily. (There are exceptions, though, Alva adds at this point.)

If the three public cards are all old god cards, the croupier will confirm whether the player wants to exchange; if there is no player to exchange, then all three old god cards will be revealed, and then discarded, and the dealer will make up the public cards again.

Discarded old god cards will not be shuffled again.Therefore, as the game progresses, there are fewer and fewer old god cards remaining, and the player's old god camp will become more and more clear and clear.In the end, time will also become a reminder.

Since there are only thirteen old god cards in total, the configuration of three players plus a dealer is the most common.

Each round of the game is played in the clockwise or counterclockwise order of the players. Only when it is the player's turn, the dealer will deal the cards to him, and the player can return the hand cards or exchange the public cards.

The effects of the two utility cards are:

The wild card can only take effect when the croupier distributes the hand cards. If it is put into the public card, the croupier will take it away and put it into the waste pile, waiting for the next shuffle.

The universal card can replace any believer card, but cannot replace the old god card.

Blank cards are only valid when dealt to the community by the dealer, and it is up to the player of the turn to decide what the card will be.Players of that turn may choose to exchange this card, or not.

Likewise, a blank card can replace any believer card, but not an old god card.

Having said that, Alva took a deep breath, looking as if his mouth was parched.

Dr. Chester said gently, "Perhaps we can play with it?"

Alva nodded, and then added with extra seriousness: "However, you have to know. There are some special rules here. After all, what I just said can't be called a 'fate card'."

Siles asked with great interest: "What is the rule?"

"Well... For example, some old god cards cannot be converted into another old god card." Alva said, "because the two camps are diametrically opposed, such as life and death.

"As for some old god cards, if you get them and the old god cards in your hand match, then you have to convert them."

"Need to convert?"

"Yes. For example, the old God card in the hand is 'Happy Drunkard'. If the croupier then issues 'Chef of the Dinner Party', then the Drunkard card must be converted into a Chef card. Of course, the It doesn't matter if you get the chef card."

Qin Duo let out an inexplicable laugh at this moment.

Siles was slightly startled, feeling a sudden chill at this moment.

Drunkards and... chefs?

Chester said with a sense of exclamation: "It's really interesting! It really has a sense of fate—according to this, the dealer is the one who decides the fate of the players. This is the first time I've heard of this game."

Alva scratched his hair a little embarrassedly.He said: "This is a playing card made by my printing factory. More than 1000 sets have been printed. It was just released some time ago. It has gradually become popular among some young people."

Siles was a little curious about the inventor of this card game, and he asked about the details, but Alva shook his head, regretting that he didn't know who actually placed the order.

After signing the order agreement, the guest disappeared without a trace, leaving the printing house to decide what happened to the cards.Even though the money had been paid, it still baffled Alva's parents.

In the end, this card and the rules of the game were casually promoted to Alva and his former middle school classmates, and gradually gained some popularity.

Chester couldn't wait to say: "Okay! Let's play a game!"

Siles was elected as the dealer for the first game.Perhaps it was because of his cold and calm face that people couldn't imagine how he would devote himself to such a fun game.

Alva picked out thirteen Old God cards from the cards, shuffled them on the table, and stacked them again. He randomly drew one of them, and Qin Duo and Chester also drew one each.

Afterwards, Alva handed the cards to Siles.

Siles took the card which was similar to a poker card.The size and feel are very similar.He couldn't help pulling out one of them—it was Lycardia, the god of leaving home and traveling.

Siles was slightly taken aback by the result of the draw.

After a while, he came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and without thinking, used the skillful card shuffling technique he got from the earth, shocking all three present.

Qin Duo straightened up subconsciously, looking at
