Chapter 352: Tricks
On the other hand, Carl did make a breakthrough because of Tina's appearance, but the forces in the main plane were miserable.
More than a month after Carl and others disappeared and Lonely Mountain returned to peace, the major forces set their sights on the vast and boundless Air Element Plane.
Then, somehow, the news about the "Giant King's Treasure" spread like wildfire.
In just one week, the entire Khorvaire, including Xen'drik and even the continent of Sauron, knew that the Giant King's final treasure was hidden in the Air Element Plane.
For a time, all adventurers who were a little confident in their own strength began to prepare plans to go to the Air Element Plane.
The Age of Exploration belonging to the Air Element Plane has arrived!
…
Time goes back to the present when Carl has found a way to leave the invisible force field, but does not know how to take people away for the time being.
Many adventurers have suddenly appeared on a large floating island that is unknown how far away from them.
Unlike the scattered adventurers who occasionally came here before, these "newcomers" seemed to have no idea of the rules of the Air Elemental Plane.
Not only could they not control their own gravity cognition, some of them even asked about the surrounding climate conditions.
In the Air Elemental Plane, although the sky is vast, it does not mean it is safe.
In fact, some skies here often have thunderstorms or ice storms that cannot be crossed, and large elemental life and various monsters also have their own territories. If you rashly enter them, you will most likely be hunted down by the other party, just like Tina who was hunted down by the griffin.
Because of this, a stable and hidden waterway has become the source of wealth in the Air Elemental Plane.
For the locals who occupy part of the waterway, rashly asking for such news is no less than highway robbery.
Stealing people's jobs will cause disputes in any world.
"Bang!"
At 2 pm in the main plane, in a tavern on a large floating island, when people in the tavern were drinking beer and singing, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Everyone in the tavern aimed their eyes at the door with a bad look on their faces. Then, a middle-aged man wearing an old jacket, a cowboy hat, and one arm with a faint metallic luster walked in.
Behind him was a bearded dwarf with muscles but only about 1.3 meters tall, and two other humans with no special features.
As soon as he entered the tavern, he scanned everyone in the tavern with his sharp eyes that were seriously disconnected from his appearance.
Some bad-tempered adventurers had already put their hands on the side of their weapons. The owner of the tavern took down a heavy crossbow hanging on the wall to guard against the brawl that might come at any time.
At this time, the middle-aged man at the door spoke.
"I want to challenge the strongest spirit card player here!"
As he said this, the whole tavern fell into a strange silence.
Seeing that no one answered, Udyr repeated what he had just said.
No one in the tavern still answered, but the expressions they looked at Udyr were no longer as hostile as at the beginning, but with an exploratory look.
They had heard about the Spirit Card from the first group of adventurers who arrived here a while ago, but those people didn't explain what it was in detail and left in a hurry.
Udyr was the first person to come to such a place and kick this place.
"No one here knows how to play Spirit Cards!"
After a while, the owner of the tavern didn't seem to want to continue the topic, so he spoke in his hoarse voice.
He was about to add "Get out if you don't want to drink and eat", but Udyr looked at him with his eyes wide open as if he had heard some unbelievable news.
If he was the only one like this, it would be fine, but the dwarf behind him and the other two companions also looked at him like this.
This gave the owner of the tavern an illusion that "Is it illegal for me to not have a Spirit Card here?"
"Well, oh~, Storm Bay is still better. There are endless card players there, and there are always countless tricks waiting for people to challenge. If the Dragonmark Family hadn't offered a price that was hard to refuse, I really didn't want to go to such a place."
Muttering in a low voice, Udyr, the trainer of the winter wolf dragon, walked into the tavern.
But his voice was very clear in this environment where a pin drop could be heard, and every guest in the tavern heard what he said.
This time, not only the tavern owner, but even the local adventurers were a little unhappy.
And at this moment, Udyr ordered a meal from the tavern owner.
"Boss, four pints of beer. Oh, are there any snacks here? Like fried chicken or...what? Nothing? Do you people from the Air Elemental Plane drink like this?
Okay, some barbecue...what? Nothing? Only grilled steaks? Okay, four."
Turning and leaving the front desk, Udyr sat down on the table in the corner, and then carefully took out a beautiful small box from his chest pocket.
His dwarf companion immediately took out a chessboard-like thing from his dimensional bag.
As this thing was placed on the table, the mechanism was activated, and four battle fields appeared on the four edges of the chessboard.
This is a portable card table recently launched by the Dragon Pattern Family, which allows up to four people to fight at the same time.
This kind of melee-like game comes from some of the information left by Carl. Joanna wanted to name it Three Kingdoms Killing according to Carl's written name at first, but later because the name was unclear, it was rejected by the Dragon Pattern Family who was responsible for promotion.
Four cups of beer were served, and Udyr and the other four started playing as if no one was around.
Each of them pressed on the field on their side, and an identity card popped up from the field and then covered it again.
Udyr was a traitor this time, the dwarf was the lord, and the remaining two were loyal ministers and rebels respectively.
Before the steak came up, the four started the game.
Watching the excitement is the nature of intelligent life. As several people used the spirit card to summon the spirit and started fighting, some local adventurers unconsciously focused their attention on the card table, and some familiar people simply took their things and sat next to Udyr and the others to watch the game.
For these locals who can only guess the size by shaking the dice for fun, the game of spirit card is not only novel, but also has the fun of cultivation.
Before the first round of cards played by Udyr and his team was over, two circles of people had already gathered around them.
They were somewhat self-aware and did not rashly interfere with the game.
But games always make people feel like "I can do it, too."
So when the dwarf, who was the lord and had the first attack, was killed, someone immediately wanted to join.
But the problem was... he didn't have a spirit card.
"Oh! It's okay! Since you want to play, I definitely can't let you down. Let's do this. We still have a few spare decks and instructions for playing. There is also a portable card table here. You guys can play first!"
As the atmosphere became increasingly heated, Udyr and his team gradually revealed their intentions.
After throwing out several decks and card tables almost for free, the people in the tavern immediately split into two groups.
And it seemed that because the card game was interesting, many adventurers did not leave after eating and drinking, but continued to watch.
But how boring would it be to just watch?
So the waiter of the tavern filled the wine again and again, and the tavern owner's face, which was originally stinky, showed a rare smile.
It was not until the time to sleep on the floating island that some people could not stand it anymore and returned to their respective homes.
Udyr and others were about to leave, but were stopped by the tavern owner.
"Friend, let's talk straight to the point. How much are you willing to sell this thing for?"
With a somewhat stiff smile, the tavern owner took the initiative to ask.
Several of his shop assistants blocked the door faintly, as if they were going to use force if soft tactics didn't work.
"Ah? Which one are you talking about? This card is not worth much, 10 copper coins per pack, but the source of goods... If you want to play, you must be honest. Wait for me to contact the Dragon Pattern Family to see if they want to build a factory here?"
Hearing that the cost price of this thing was so cheap, the shop assistants blocking the door were also stunned.
This spirit card seemed quite magical to them. They originally thought that it was at least a magical item of extraordinary level.
"So cheap?"
Looking at Udyr suspiciously, the tavern owner almost wrote "I don't believe it" on his face.
Seeing him like this, Udyr had to take out a few card packs from his dimension bag.
"Here, look, this is a blank card, the official price is this much, but if you want a pre-printed one, the price will be different, but this thing is still interesting to use monster materials and magic equipment to print it yourself. This is the printing method, you can see it for yourself, it's written on the card pack."
Took the thing and took a look, sure enough, whether it was the price or the method of printing the card, the card pack was clearly written.
Except for the production method of the white card, the other information was almost written on it by the manufacturer.
'Why is there still business like this? '
With such a complaint in his heart, the tavern owner hurriedly asked Udyr about entertaining the Dragon Mark Family.
The planes outside the main plane don't know much about the Dragon Mark Family. Some dangerous planes don't even have any information exchanges with the main plane. The four elemental planes are already rare to be well-informed.
"Hey, since you are so interested, would you like to go with us on the boat? One of our companions knows more about this, and we just like to play spirit cards."
After a few words, the tavern owner was taken back to the boat by Udyr and others.
This boat was made by the Linland family in a month, and it was transformed from the ships that Carl defeated on the east coast of Xen'drik.
Because of the special nature of the air elemental plane, vehicles such as ships only need to simply solidify a few auxiliary magic circles, plus a pair of mimic wings that can assist the ship to move forward when there is no wind, so that it can travel on the air elemental plane.
Here, you can even use sails to speed up the ship's sailing speed.
