"Your Highness Hegel." Lich King had learned the name of the Dark Elemental King from the contract. He spread out his hand, "You choose first. The first game is a race to win? Spectacular war? Death game? By the way, Prinz, introduce the rules to the nearby guests later, especially the 'Aguile'. Anyway, after the game starts, both sides on this table can't hear the sound outside the game. "
"Yes, Your Majesty the Supreme Lich King." Prinz bowed deeply, then he floated in front of Chen Rui and others, and he returned to his arrogant posture.
"Hmph!" Hegel glanced at Chen Rui, "The first game will start from the simplest race to win. 3 games to decide the winner."
"Okay, let's start."
As soon as he spoke, the light of the entire card table flashed. The Death Scythe waved, and the cards flew up and turned over on the table. Chen Rui saw clearly that these cards were painted with various patterns. There were humans and demon men and women wearing crowns, generals wearing armor, sun, moon, scepter, etc. There were dozens of cards in total.
At the side, Prince began to explain. In the Victory Race, there were a total of 64 cards, divided into main cards and secondary cards. The main cards were Order and Chaos. The Order main cards were Golden Emperor, White Queen, Radiant Knight Captain, Champion Swordsman, and Farmer. The Chaos main cards were King of Darkness, Phantom Concubine, Demon Mage, Demon Warrior, and Demon Slave.
The secondary cards had the sun, scepter, cross sword, etc., corresponding to Order, as well as the moon, poison dagger, cloak, etc., corresponding to Chaos. There were also neutral stars, gems, wood, ores, crystal lamps, 1 of each.
The rule of the race to win was to draw 5 main cards and 1 secondary card within 10 seconds. The one with the largest card type would win.
The 5 full sets of Order or Chaos cards were the largest, such as King, Queen, Knight, Swordsman and Farmer;
The 4 identical cards in the same camp were the second, such as 4 King and 1 Farmer or 4 Farmer and 1 King. There was no difference in size;
The third was 3 plus 2 identical cards in the same camp, such as 3 Knight and 2 Swordsman;
Then it was 2 pairs of identical cards or 3 identical cards in the same camp …
The lowest was the Mixed Faction, with no pairs or straight.
From what Chen Rui heard, it was similar to Texas Hold 'em on Earth. For example, a straight flush, a four, a flush, a straight, and so on, but the rules were slightly different. However, the secondary card rules that Prince explained were very novel. In a race to win, the role of the secondary card was crucial. The Main Card type had to correspond to the Secondary Card of the corresponding Faction in order to be established. Otherwise, it would be nullified and the Main Card would be lost.
For example, Chen Rui had drawn the highest "Royal Flush" main card, which was a set of King, Queen, Knight, Swordsman, and Farmer. At this time, the secondary cards had to be the Sun, Scepter, and Cross Sword in order for the Royal Flush to be effective. If the secondary cards were the Moon or Poison Dagger, then the Royal Flush would be useless. Even if the opponent had drawn the smallest cards, they would still win.
At this time, if the secondary card that Chen Rui had drawn was neutral, then he would still win. However, something even more unpredictable would happen. That was, he would have to draw one of the opponent's cards to determine the final size. The "Royal Flush" just now might become the smallest card.
The Mixed Faction card type did not have this restriction, but it was also the smallest card type.
After checking the cards, the game began. The 62 cards were flipped back and began to automatically shuffle at a super high speed. Even Chen Rui's eyes could not keep up with that speed.
What Prince said was right. This Magic Card game was not simple. In addition to skills, it also required a strong mental strength as a backing. Just the shuffling stage alone required a considerable amount of mental strength to judge. The more accurate the judgment, the smaller the error, and the higher the winning rate. In addition to the fact that both sides had chosen the same card, then in this fleeting time, they would also use their mental strength to start a high-speed and intense battle.
Of course, the luck factor was equally important.
The 62 cards were spread out again. The patterns on the back of some of the cards began to have an extra star. It was impossible to notice it without looking carefully. The cards with stars represented the secondary cards, and the rest were the main cards. This kind of "prompt" did not appear before the shuffling.
Soon, several cards began to move quickly and appeared in front of the table of the 2. After a few blinks of an eye, the remaining cards in the center of the table burned and disappeared, leaving only the 6 cards chosen by both sides.
Glorios' voice sounded, "Your Highness Hegel, you are the guest. You open the card first."
According to the rules, both sides had to open the main card first, then the secondary card last. Hegel's mind moved, and the 5 cards had been flipped over. 3 King of Darkness, 1 Phantom Concubine, 1 Evil Demon Sorcerer, and 1 Demon Slave. 3 pairs of the same card.
"Sigh, it seems that my luck is a little worse than Your Highness." Glorios flipped over his cards. They were also in the Chaos camp. There were 2 "Demon Fighter", 2 "Demon Slave", and 1 "King of Darkness". 2 pairs of the same card. They were just one level smaller than Hegel's.
Next, he flipped over the secondary card. 1 was "Moon", and the other was "Cloak". Both card types were valid. Hegel won the first round. The table began to glow with golden light, and the cards of both sides disappeared. A new deck of cards appeared in the center of the Grim Reaper again.
"Your Highness Hegel's strength is really extraordinary. Your Highness took the lead in this King of Darkness just now, otherwise it is likely to be a draw. But … in this way, the game will become more and more interesting. Let's start the second round. "Glorios grinned. The skeleton's smiling face gave people goosebumps.
In the second round, Glorios's cards were 2 King, 1 Queen, 1 Knight, and 1 Farmer. A pair of the same card. Hegel's cards were 2 Demon Concubines, 1 Magician, 2 Demon Slaves, and 2 pairs of the same card. His cards were bigger than Glorios'. However, when he opened the secondary card, the red light in Hegel's eyes suddenly flashed. It turned out that his secondary card was actually an Order's "Sun", which was equivalent to being scrapped. Glorios's secondary card was Order's Scepter, and the card type was valid.
"Hmph!" Hegel snorted coldly. When he was judging just now, he was strongly disturbed by Glorios' spirit power. As a result, he made a mistake and drew a fatal secondary card.
Lich King let out a weird laugh, "At present, it is 1 win and 1 loss. It is just a draw. The next round is the most exciting decisive game."
The third round began. After shuffling, many cards on the table actually became blurred. In Chen Rui's focused eyes, this blurred feeling was actually caused by the high-speed competition between the 2 sides. 10 seconds passed quickly, and the excess cards were automatically burned. Everyone's attention fell on the 12 cards of Hegel and Glorios.
"Please open the cards first, Your Highness Hegel."
The 5 main cards in front of Hegel were flipped over. They were king, queen, knight, swordsman, and farmer. The Order camp's set of cards was also the biggest straight flush. As long as the secondary card was also the Order card, then unless Lich King's final valid card was also a straight flush, he would definitely win this round. At least, he was already invincible.
Glorios seemed to be pondering. If that skeleton face had skin and flesh, he must have frowned tightly. Then Lich King opened his cards.
1 King of Darkness, 2 Magician, 2 Demon Slaves, 2 pairs of the same card. It was not a small card, but it was overshadowed by the "straight flush".
Next was the most critical secondary card. Hegel smiled proudly. In everyone's almost suffocating breath, the secondary card was slowly turned over. A "cross sword"!
The dark elementals all cheered. The card type is valid! The king won!
"As the Dark Elemental King, you actually chose the Order deck. It's an ironic victory." Lich King's creepy laughter was revealed, "However, whether it is a real victory or not, we still have to wait for the final trump card to be revealed."
Chen Rui had a bad feeling. I have watched too many King of Gamblers movies. In the final decisive battle, it seems that the first to reveal the card is basically the loser …
Hegel suddenly thought of something. The red light in his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw Lich King's secondary card was flipped open — "Star".
Neutral secondary card!
Then, both sides would draw each other's cards at the same time. Based on the current cards, Lich King was the Chaos card while Dark Elemental King was the Order card. Once they drew, no matter what they drew, both sides would become the smallest mixed card type. Lich King also had at least 1 pair of cards. In other words, Hegel lost!
The cheers around stopped abruptly, and Lich King's sinister laughter sounded, "Your Highness did not make the same mistake as the last time. You repelled my [Spirit Interference]. Not only did you grab the largest card type, but you also accurately got the corresponding secondary card. Unfortunately, the affairs of the world are hard to predict. I have won this race. "
The red light in Hegel's eyes flourished, and he gradually stabilized, "Good trick, but the one who laughs at the end is the real winner. Let's start the second game immediately, Spectacle War."
Spectacle War was another way of playing magic cards. Each side had a 50-story spectacle building to be built. They could build their own building or demolish the opponent's building by playing cards. The spectacle had a total of 100 floors.
The criterion to determine the winner was which side's spectacle was built or destroyed first. If there was no winner within half an hour, the side with the highest floors of the spectacle would be the winner.
The number of cards was not limited to 62. After a set of cards was drawn, the cards would be recalculated until the end.
In this way of playing, each person would draw 5 cards at a time. Both sides would draw again after a round. No matter whether they played cards or not, they would always keep 5 cards in their hands. The functions of the main card and the secondary card had changed. The main function of the main card was to kill the opponent. A single king was the most powerful, then there were pairs and triplets. The more cards, the greater the damage. The most special were the triplets which could become an overwhelming "bomb". However, this "bomb" was a bit special. Not only would it blow up the opponent's 4-story building, but it would also destroy their own 2-story building, so it had to be used with caution.
The role of the secondary card was to build. The secondary card of the same camp could add 2 floors to their own building, 1 floor to different camps, 1 floor to both sides of the neutral camp. The effect of the 3 cards of the sun, moon, and stars would be doubled.
This game was directly decided in 1 game. Since Hegel had already lost a game before, if he lost this game again, he would be completely defeated, so the Dark Elemental King was on high alert.
Hegel chose [Chaos Spectacle]. When he used the card of his own camp to attack and win, there would be double damage. The Dark Elemental King chose [Order Spectacle]. 2 3D buildings suddenly appeared on the card table, facing each other from a distance. One emitted a faint black mist, and the other shone with golden spots of brilliance. There were workers building below with the number "50" next to it. It looked very vivid.
The stacked cards began to be automatically distributed to Hegel and Glorios, and they stopped after grabbing 5 cards. Glorios threw out a pair of "Demon Gladiators". The central card table flashed, and 2 huge Demon Gladiators suddenly appeared. They waved their flails and roared as they approached Hegel's spectacle step by step.
Hegel threw out the cards in his hand, and 2 Glorious Knight Captains wearing full-body armor and holding knight spears appeared on the "battlefield". They urged the silver armored horses under them and rushed toward the Demon Fighters.
Under the powerful charge of the Knight Captains, the Demon Fighters were shattered. The charging phantasm hit near Glorios' spectacle. The spectacle trembled for a while. Under the effect of a pair of cards and a different camp, it was reduced by 4 levels and became "46".
Next, Hegel played a card. A golden scepter inlaid with a ruby stood on the wonders of his side, emitting a strong white light. Suddenly, the construction speed increased, and a layer was added. Then, the scepter disappeared. Since the "scepter" was the [Order] secondary card, the [Chaos Spectacle] on his side could only add 1 level. After Hegel played the largest single card, "Demon King", Glorios chose to give up, and the spectacle became 51 to 45.
There was only 1 card left in Hegel's hand. If he was restrained by the opponent, then his spectacle would be reduced, so the Dark Elemental King did not play any more cards. When both sides gave up, they began to draw cards again. Hegel drew 4 cards, Glorios drew 2 cards, and both sides still had 5 cards in their hands. A new round of competition began.
The sacred and majestic Golden Emperor, the violent and brave Dark King, the dignified and beautiful Silver Queen, the charming and moving Phantom Concubine, the fair and strict Glorious Knight Captains, the strange and changeable evil sorcerer … The pictures on these cards were displayed in front of everyone in a gorgeous and vivid manner. They began to fight. Whether it was the image or the combat effect, it was amazing. However, behind this dazzling scene was a cruel life and death gamble.
Under the fierce attack and defense, the spectacle buildings of both sides were constantly changing. The attacks on both sides were very sharp. Sometimes it seemed that the spectacle of the opponent was about to be crushed, but it was added by several consecutive secondary cards. Their own spectacle also began to be in danger.
In the back-and-forth, the battle situation entered the most exciting stage. Hegel's spectacle had only the last 3 levels left, while Glorios still had 5 levels. Both sides had 3 cards in their hands. Glorios played a pair of "Evil Sorcerer". Hegel couldn't deal with it, so he chose to skip it. There was only the last level left for the spectacle.
Glorios played the only single card, "Glorious Knight Captains", trying to give Hegel a fatal blow. At the critical moment, Hegel played a King of Darkness, which reduced Glorios' spectacle to 4 levels. He also gained an important lead in the next round.
In the next round of card drawing, Hegel played the 3 "Phantom Concubine" that decided the outcome. 3 times of cards plus double of camp was equivalent to 6 levels of damage. Finally, he destroyed Glorios' 4 levels of miracle in one fell swoop at the critical moment and won a decisive victory.
The first "Victory Race" Glorios won, and the second "Spectacle War" Hegel won, which meant that both sides had returned to the same starting line. It all depended on the most critical third game, the Death Game.
