"The new mechanism of the trial is really interesting." The elves on the side sighed after the battle.
The card game that Irene and Aitesi were playing just now was an advanced version of the game that Loran Hill played with his friends at Fengno's house several years ago. Now it has expanded with many new cards, including not only powerful witch cards, but also some powerful characters from past history, such as the mythical fairies of the First Age, various giants of the Giant King's Court, and even some legendary powerful dragons.
The Linkage system also adds some new mechanics, such as Trials. Each follower that appears on the field will earn Trial Points after the opponent completes a turn, attacks once, or blocks once. Accumulating Trial Points allows the follower to level up, becoming more powerful and possessing new effects and abilities. (The number of points required for each level of advancement varies, and some followers have more advancement options.)
The benefit of doing this is to balance certain autistic decks that blindly use spell cards to delay time and cause a poor experience, and instead focus more on combat and exchange on the scene, making the game richer and more interesting.
After the game ended, Erin made room and looked around. "Does anyone want to continue playing?"
Currently, many people in the Elf Envoys have played this type of card game, and their levels are actually not much different, but some people are special, such as Irene, who is particularly adept at using ice and snow system decks.
The handiness mentioned here does not refer to how superb the skills are, but to being able to often get the key cards you want at the right time without getting stuck.
This often happens: even though it is the same deck, some people are just better. Maybe this is what is called compatibility.
Atesi is particularly smooth and fluent when using the World Tree related system, but when switching to the Dragon Sequence related system, her luck with cards is very bad and she always gets stuck and explodes.
"I feel like I can't defeat Her Highness Atesi."
"Indeed, every time Princess Atesi uses the World Tree deck, she becomes exceptionally powerful. Apart from Irene, almost no one can defeat her."
"That's what I did last time. I used the Giant King's Court deck's Incineration System and burned Her Highness's key magic circle card twice, but in the end she still drew the last key card and turned defeat into victory."
Some elves were talking about the results of recent battles, and Atesi was a little disappointed when she saw that no one showed up. It seemed that there would be no fun today.
However, when a girl holding a book walked by, the elf princess's eyes lit up.
"Luna, do you want to come over and play a card game?"
After she finished speaking, the girl in the purple and white dress stopped and shook her head slightly.
"I still want to ask Sister Jialan for tutoring, but I'm afraid I don't have time."
"Oh, I see." Atesi lay down slightly disappointed.
Luna is a human being and doesn't live as long as an elf, so naturally she has to seize the time to improve many things.
"Wait." Suddenly, she remembered something.
"What knowledge do you want to learn from Jialan?"
"It's about advancement, and I have to make relevant preparations soon." Luna explained quietly.
"Luna is a Sequence 7 Necromancer, right?"
"Yes." After she finished speaking, some elves in the field were surprised by the talent of this human girl. You know, even among the forest elves, sequence 7 and above are very rare nowadays.
"It's very fast and impressive. The progress has caught up with me." Now Aitesi is also in the perfect state of Sequence 7.
"But I can tell you some secret techniques passed down only by the forest elves, which can be used even by the Undead Order." Atesi blinked as she spoke.
"As long as you beat me at the game."
"Ah... this..." After hearing this, Luna hesitated. No matter what, as an elf princess, Etesi's knowledge and secret techniques must be rare in the outside world. Missing this opportunity...
"Then agree to her request and give it a try." At this time, another girl with light blue hair came from the corner of the hall.
Loran Hill came to Luna's side and pressed her shoulder lightly to reassure her that she was not worried.
"Sister Aitesi really knows a lot. Studying every day can be tiring, so you should just relax today."
"Since Sister Jialan said so..." Luna murmured and hesitated for a few seconds. Then she sat down amid everyone's encouragement and smiles, picked up the cards on the table, and started to choose and look at them.
In fact, Luna had come into contact with and played this kind of card game when she was in school. After all, it first became popular in Emenas.
It's just that I haven't played for a while, so I need to get to know some of the new cards and mechanics.
After a few minutes, Luna assembled her deck, and then the tense battle began.
Luna uses a deck from the Necromancer sequence. She excels at using ghosts, and many of her minions are also ghost-related. They can attack as soon as they enter the field and can penetrate minions with guardian effects, but their weakness is low health, and they will automatically disappear after two rounds.
Although Atesi's mythical fairy deck is powerful in the late game, it is not very strong in the early game. Under Luna's fierce attack in the early game, it soon became precarious.
"I summon a 5/4 'Ghost Knight of the Castle' and use Trial Points to advance it."
Beside the card table, Luna took out a card with a purple border. On the card was a picture of a lonely and dark castle. A knight in black armor and riding a black horse was walking slowly on the mountain path under the moonlight. He held a lance and a shield. There was a withered silver-white rose on his shield, and the cloak on his back was also tattered.
This minion is upgraded to a 7/5 'Headless Horseman of City Gate Bridge', with four special effects: Death, Gallop, Pierce, and Lifesteal.
After he finished speaking, a brand new card replaced the previous Ghost Knight. On the card, a knight was holding a halberd and standing on a tall skeletal warhorse in front of a bridge. Behind him was a deep mountain path leading to the mansion in the castle, which was dotted with faint orange lights, and several crows flew out from the mansion.
