Chapter 290 Playing Cards Is Still Important!

"Ah! Tum, you bastard!"

With a wail, Kaisa grabbed her hair and said GG.

In fact, Kaisa's operation ideas and luck were pretty good, but her opponent was a more outrageous guy, so she could only fail in the end.

Putting away the spirit card, the elf, who was already hundreds of years old, still muttered unwillingly:

"If my luck was better..."

Seeing that Kaisa seemed a little unconvinced, Tum on the opposite side shuffled the cards and said, "How about another game?"

He was not satisfied yet, but Kaisa's battle ideas had been figured out by him. Even if shuffling the cards would cause variables in the game, the final outcome would not be much different.

For Tum, Kaisa was now like a BOSS that he had cleared countless times. It might be a little difficult to beat her with his eyes closed, but it was easy to beat her with his eyes open.

As for the battle invitation of his companions, Kaisa, who had been tortured for a long time, clearly refused.

"No! I want to go out hunting! I feel I can definitely condense a stronger spirit!"

Hearing this, Tum's expression changed slightly.

"But the food we have saved is enough to last until next year. Going to hunt wild animals again will have a bad impact on the ecology!"

Because the environment in the area where Verena is located is a bit similar to Egypt, and the country is surrounded by deserts, the elves of Verena also adhere to a more environmentally friendly concept.

Excessive hunting is prohibited.

"Tsk! Of course I will go a little further! Do you think I am one of those greedy adventurers? Xen'drik is so big, as long as you walk more, it's okay to hunt ten times more monsters.

By the way, I remember those adventurers said that Storm Bay will hold a Spirit King Card Competition recently. Should we go and join in the fun?"

With the special monitoring spell of the Verena regiment, even if she stays at home, Kassa can detect the movements in a certain area around this forest.

And the topics discussed by those adventurers who came to hunt were naturally heard by her.

"Competition... But the mission to find the Rose Cult..."

Although Tum was very excited, the mission assigned to them by the Supreme King had not made any progress yet, which made Tum dare not indulge himself too much.

"Oh! I have wanted to say it for a long time. Those people from the Rose Cult will definitely go to Storm Bay to find men. The probability of us running into them here is too small!

If we become the champion of the Spirit King Competition, maybe we can find out their whereabouts through the adventurers!"

With a strong tone of bewitching, Kassa whispered to her companions like a devil.

How could Tum, who was only more than 200 years old, bear this?

He wanted to see the card players in Storm Bay, but he was immediately led astray by Kassa.

Tum gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, nodded, put away the deck and walked towards the base.

"Hey! Where are you going!"

Seeing him like this, Kassa hurriedly caught up with him.

"Pack up your things, let's go to Storm Bay and buy a house to live in. You are right. With the Rose Cult's style of doing things, the probability of us encountering them in the wilderness is too low."

As if to convince himself, Tum repeated Kasa's suggestion just now.

Hearing this, Kasa's eyebrows gradually curved, and the whole person exuded a "scrappy" temperament that would lead a good student astray.

...

North of Storm Bay, Thunder Sea.

After a day and a night of sailing, the steamer has sailed out of the area where pirates are often active and began to move towards the sea area with more dangerous climate.

General ships will become more vigilant after arriving here, because compared with pirates who can communicate, natural disasters that cannot communicate are more dangerous.

But for the captain with the Storm Dragon Mark, this is considered to be a comfort zone.

Although the Storm Dragon Mark cannot make the weather clear, they can sense the storm in advance. Skilled sailors can even use the power of storms and dragon-marked magic tools to allow the ship to reach the destination faster.

The captain of this steamship was far from reaching this level, but he could indeed predict the storm in advance and even avoid it to a certain extent.

So when they got here, both the sailors and the captain, who was the holder of the Storm Dragon Mark, relaxed their vigilance a little and began to enjoy the slightly boring sailing trip.

Because for them, as long as there were no pirates to harass them, this voyage was basically halfway done.

"Woo~, I didn't realize that you are good at playing cards!"

In the cockpit at the rear of the ship, the captain of the Linland family was playing spirit cards with the boatswain and the first mate.

He was also a loyal player of this card game, but his card skills were not very good. Even the boatswain, who was considered to have poor card skills by the sailors, could beat him.

"Hehehe, Captain, those people you play with are too arrogant. You should go to the Next Life Bar. The players there are really good. They have begun to summarize tactics and develop styles.

My style is called the flash attack style. I only play in the early stage. If I can't take you away in the early stage, you can kill me when you recover. Your personality is quite suitable for playing in the late stage."

After all, he is his superior, and the boatswain can't mock him in front of his face. He was secretly happy and began to tell the captain about his various experiences in the Next Life Bar.

In the absence of outsiders, the captain is not arrogant.

This is mainly due to the changes in family style brought about by the Linland family's repeated marriages with pirate kings.

Compared to other dragon families, their style of doing things is more like the style of the mafia families in the whitewashing stage, with loyalty, status and rules.

This also led to the fact that although the general sailors were a little afraid of the captain, they still recognized him very much.

"Well~, late school? Okay, I'll study it, you guys play first, I'll go downstairs to check it out."

The first mate and the boatswain nodded, so they changed their opponents and continued to play cards.

None of them followed the captain, just like a young man who was addicted to playing cards.

But in fact, the captain's words just now were actually reminding them not to follow.

This is an unspoken rule on this ship.

Of course, the captain does not need to come in person to inspect the ship, so saying so is just an excuse.

And his so-called inspection alone is actually for smuggling.

The tariffs in Sarn Port are really too high.

And the shipping between Khorvaire and Xen'drik is really a profitable industry.

In order to make their own coffers more abundant, most captains will set up a "secret warehouse" on the ship that is not easy to be checked.

It stores goods with relatively high profits but high tariffs, which can be regarded as a little theft by the captain under the protection of the name of the Dragon Pattern Family.

Every time a transaction is successful, the captain will take out a part of the profit and share it with the crew, so everyone is tacitly aware of this and no one will expose it.

But for safety reasons, the captain does not allow anyone other than himself to know where this secret warehouse is.
