Black Dragon Code

Barton entered the royal capital with his carefully crafted deck of cards, and headed for the empire's competitive meeting. The bright sunshine dyed the world golden. Outside the city walls and along the river bank, more than a thousand tents had been quietly set up. Tens of thousands of tents from all over the world Civilians are flocking to watch the game.

The spectacular scene of the tournament made Barton breathless: the shining weapons, the tall horses in armor, the shouts of the crowd, the bright flags fluttering in the wind... and those monsters, especially those monsters.

In Kashan City, Barton has seen many monsters from the Black Wing clan, but today, these monsters have all restrained their usual fierce looks, and moved a small bench with a simple face to find a place to sit in the square. The noble Dragonborn Flicking across the sky above the head, the cracks in the claws sprinkled fine fireworks.

In addition, there are many foreigners that Barton does not know, including sea people from the narrow bay and the West Sea, and dwarves from the Kingdom of the Marsh, as well as cunning merchants in the trading city-states, and noble southern poets.

In the eyes of tourists and businessmen from foreign countries, the scene in front of them is so illusory that it is unbelievable. In the story, countless times the picture of humans and monsters living in harmony is vividly displayed in front of them, waiting together in the square The contest opens.

Barton wore a gray-blue linen jacket without any ribbons or decorations, and the thin gray cloak on his shoulders looked like a dirty rag, but today he is one of the protagonists here, and the coat of arms on his chest proves that he is Participants in this conference.

"Be confident, Barton, you are the person who knows the elegy card best in Kashan City. Your friends, relatives, high-ranking officials of the empire and even His Majesty the Emperor will all see your performance on the stage. There are not many opportunities like this."

Before leaving, the Lord of Kashan City gave him a lot of encouragement, but even so, the ordinary craftsmen from Kashan City were still a little timid.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the mountain-like figure of the Black Dragon Emperor slowly appeared at the top of the sea of ​​flowers, attracting a wave of cheers like a tsunami. At this point, the competition finally announced the official start.

Behind the central stage of Wangting Square, on the black curtain used to decorate the background of stage operas, illusory images are suddenly projected.

Against the pitch-black background, a line of pale golden dragon texts with a heavy atmosphere appeared in front of intelligent creatures from all over the world, "Elegy."

While people were still thinking about what the dragon language meant, and how such a scene appeared on the black curtain, an enthusiastic voice echoed over the entire Wangting Square.

"Welcome to the Dirge Tavern!"

After the sound, the huge font disappeared immediately, and the back patterns of the expansion packs of the Elegy card replaced it,

Show it in front of everyone through projection.

With certainty in his heart, Barton embedded the card he had spent countless hours building into the black box given to him by the staff, took a deep breath, and began to step forward and board the competition stage.

Different from the noisy and chaotic auditions, the progress of the finals was slow and meticulous. At the same time, only one pair of players played against each other, and the serial number Barton drew was one, which meant that he would be the first player to appear on the stage. contestant.

His psychological quality made him not dare to look at the crowded auditorium below, so he could only sit down on his seat without looking sideways. The final stage was beyond imagination, and his opponent was far enough away from him that Barton couldn't even look at it. Know the specific appearance of the other party.

How does this compare?

Button was a little puzzled, but still followed the instructions of the staff, and put the black box on the strangely shaped competition table in front of him. After waiting for a while, the enthusiastic voice sounded again.

"Anduin, against Jaina!"

"The Holy Light will grant me victory!"

"You asked for this!"

The emblems representing the priesthood and the mage appeared on the big screen, followed by portraits of heroes representing the professions on both sides. The heroes spoke their own opening lines. The first battle was at Under the watchful eyes of everyone in Wangting Square, it officially started.

The wilderness scenery that people have never seen before appeared on the background board, and when Barton played his first follower "North County Priest", the mutation happened.

A female pastor in a white robe was actually projected on the final stage, even showing a dignified expression vividly!

Such a scene immediately caused an uproar, and Barton's hands trembled slightly with exclamation. Although he didn't understand how such a scene appeared, he also knew that it was something that Wang Ting spent a lot of money on.

At this moment, for some reason, tears welled up in his eyes.

In the eyes of many people, elegy cards are just fancy and useless gadgets, a new way of entertainment. Yes, their claims are correct and there is no way to refute them, but Barton himself has deeper expectations for the elegy.

This so-called game has clear goals, clear rules, and a certain degree of randomness. The extremely low threshold and extremely high upper limit made Barton deeply fascinated by this game. He spent countless days and nights studying every card. In order to become the best poker player in the entire empire, countless efforts were wasted.

Countless times, his relatives and friends have said to him: "Don't do this, Patton, this is just a game, let it go." But sitting here today, seeing so many people from all over the empire gathered together with aliens, It was nothing short of a miracle to him that even His Majesty the Emperor was there in person to share the moment.

The competition organized by the royal court and officially supported made Barton feel that everything he had paid was worthwhile. He was willing to make unremitting efforts for such an opportunity. Even a worthless mortal can have the highlight moment in his life and stand on the stage Take on the much-anticipated opportunity.

It's my turn, draw a card!

Mind Stealing!

...

Caesar looked at the turbulent crowd below, his eyes were full of satisfaction, the value of the elegy card is not only in the present, but also in the future, it is slowly becoming a new industrial activity.

With the development of time, elegy cards have gradually spread to a wider range of people, and the sale of cards has brought Wang Ting a good income, but for the market that is still growing, this income has even greater imagination in the future space.

When a large number of people are addicted to the elegy card, after enough supporters are gathered, the elegy card gradually has the ability to support the professional system, and the competitive event system behind it will emerge as the times require.

This is an inevitable situation after things have developed to a certain extent. Some time ago, there were many gambling duels between the people of the empire over the elegy card, but this game was firmly prohibited by the royal court, because there was no tax.

After thinking about it for a period of time, Caesar simply put an end to the holding of this kind of non-governmental events, and banned them by the official itself, which is also the direct reason for the holding of this competitive competition.

Promoting the competitive industry is a good thing. Caesar noticed the prospect of the elegy card derivative system, not only the Black Wing Empire, but also the value that can be obtained after exporting. Everything now is actually for the elegy card Push to Elradia to prepare.
