Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

"I can't let my imagination run wild anymore."

Alice took off her glasses and pinched her eyebrows with her hands.

If you continue to think about random things, you will only enter a dead end of thinking and make yourself more depressed.

It turns out that humans still need to sleep well at night. NetEase Cloud Music is really terrible.

Alice poured out the almost untouched cup of cold coffee on the table and tidied up the messy accounts. Even though she was not sleepy, she still planned to force herself to rest for a while.

Returning to her familiar bedroom, the moment she pushed the door open, the cold wind blowing in her face made Alice more sober.

“When did I open the window?”

With a hint of doubt in her eyes, Alice glanced at the gauze curtain beside the window that was gently blown by the breeze with her emerald green eyes.

In front of the window is a simple small table, which is used to store the sundries in Alice's room.

But at this moment, an object that Alice had never seen before appeared on the table.

The outer circle is wrapped with a golden ring with a bunch of sharp decorations, and the eye in the middle looks particularly scary at night.

Even though the object that suddenly appeared in front of her exuded a weird atmosphere from the inside out, Alice Carlos seemed to be attracted by some special characteristics and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

In fact, it is not attractive.

Perhaps deep down in Alice's heart, she has already determined that no situation can be worse than the current one.

When life has hit rock bottom, any changes should be moving in a good direction.

With this thought in mind, Alice came into contact with the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom for the first time.

"Can you hear me?"

The mature woman's voice echoed in Alice's mind the moment after contact.

"Who?"

"The soul that lives inside the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, you can call me, um... Ai La."

"Ella? Why are you in my room?"

"Because I'm attracted to your despair. You're so beautiful, but even the deepest part of your soul exudes a despair. You're really too good."

"Despair..."

Alice did not try to defend herself, and perhaps her current mood was what is called despair.

Because I have rarely seen hope, even the feeling of despair has become commonplace.

"Let's make a deal. I will grant you the ability to change your current predicament."

"Ability, what ability?"

"I will grant you the ability you want most, the Eyes of the Elf."

"!!"

Alice's emerald green eyes trembled violently out of shock, probably for the first time in her life.

"Give me the eyes of an elf, is it possible to do such a thing?"

"I only recently acquired this ability, but I just happened to have a ready-made one on hand."

It was a deal that seemed like a dream. No, possessing the Eyes of the Elf was something Alice didn't even have the courage to dream of.

Then the next second, the elf's eyes emitting a dim red light appeared in Alice's hands like a magic trick.

"Is this actually true? But..."

However, this elf's eye had an extremely conspicuous huge crack on its surface, making it difficult for Alice to ignore it.

"Don't despise me. I only have this defective piece in my hand. I estimate the number of times this Elf Eye can be used. I think it has two uses left."

"Does the Eye of the Elf have any more uses?"

This was the first time Alice had heard of such a thing. For a normal duelist, there would be no limit on the number of duels they could have.

"Because you are not a duelist, Alice Carlos. Your soul cannot provide any energy to maintain the Elf Eye, so in your hands, the Elf Eye is just a consumable."

After a pause, Ella continued to add.

"But even if it's a consumable item, don't underestimate the Eye of the Spirit itself. If you have it, you can start summoning a deck that belongs to your own soul system, which at least gives you the capital to fight against other duelists. Even if it's a defective item, you will become a real duelist."

Become a true duelist.

Hearing this, Alice licked her lips subconsciously and swallowed hard.

There is probably no other condition in the world that is more tempting to Alice than this sentence.

Born without the Eyes of an Elf, he is not qualified to be a duelist.

No matter how hard Alice tries and does her best in other aspects, she is destined to be inferior if she cannot duel in this world.

No matter how hard you struggle, you can't change the current situation, just because you lack the elf eye.

Life is just so unfair.

However, what Alice now has before her is an opportunity to eliminate this unfairness.

"But wait a minute."

As calm as Alice was, she held on and didn't let her desires cloud her mind.

"Ella, you just said a deal, didn't you? I'm giving you something as precious as the Eye of the Elf. What do you want in return?"

Even though she was young, Alice Carlos had been in the aristocratic political world for a long time, and she would not believe in such things as pie falling from the sky.

"Haha, you are worthy of me. Most people would have been completely tempted by power at this time. This means that I was right about you. You are indeed the most suitable host for me, Alice Carlos."

A certain satisfaction could be heard in Ella's mature female voice.

"I guess the Elf Eyes, which only have two remaining duel opportunities, can't satisfy you at all. The terms of the deal are that you use duels to snatch more Elf Eyes. As long as you keep winning, you will always have Elf Eyes to use. Fighting to support fighting, that's probably what it means."

"Using a duel to snatch the Eye of the Elf, is such a thing possible?"

In a normal duel, you can't even take away the cards in the opponent's deck, let alone take away the opponent's Elf Eye.

unless……

"Dark Game. Do you have this awareness, Alice Carlos?"

"Is it really a dark game?"

Duels involving the Dark Game are prohibited by law in any country in the Elf Continent.

The price Alice has to pay to become a duelist is to touch the darkness and seize the elf eyes of others, and build the power she gains on the losses of other duelists.

"Let me snatch the Elf Eyes from others. What do you want to gain from it, Ella?"

"You take the Eye of the Spirit, and I restore my own power through the Dark Game. Don't you think this is a perfect deal that benefits both parties?"

"Can I duel with anyone?" Alice continued to ask about the conditions.

"You can do either, provided you can win the duel. If you lose even one match in the Dark Game, the ownerless Elf Eye will be shattered. You can target other threatening Dark Duelists, or even those Duelists that are more willful and that you hate."

Ella's words were like the devil's whispers that hit Alice's weak spot.

If I could possess the Eyes of the Elf and become a true duelist, it wouldn't be a big deal to defeat other illegal dark duelists. I could just treat it as getting rid of harm for the people.

But the point is, the duelist that he 'hates'.

This matter is like a demon from hell, offering conditions that are full of temptation but can also cause people to lose their morals.

Becoming a duelist was something Alice never dared to dream of.

But what happens after becoming a duelist?

Stealing the Elf Eye of the opponent's duelist must never be exposed to the public.

In everyone's eyes, she is still Alice Carlos without the Elf Eyes, and her status will not change at all.

So how to make good use of this power and lead the Carlos family out of the predicament.

That is to strangle those big families that are hindering him and trying to divide and devour Carlos in this darkness.

"Make your decision, Alice Carlos! Are you willing to bear the darkness brought by this power? If you are willing, you can directly summon the first Duel Monster in your life using the Eye of the Spirit!"

If someone who has fallen into the lowest point of despair in life could catch a glimpse of hope.

Even if it is a pure black hope, it will still become the "dawn" that illuminates the desperate heart.

"Ai. La, lend me your strength."

That night, the roar of the huge monster resounded in the sky of Lucao, the small town in the fiefdom of the Carlos family.

The first Duel Monster Card in her life, summoned by Alice Carlos, belonging to her own soul system.

【Sea Turtle Bad Beast Gamesielle】

"Bad beast!"

Alice's first summoning shocked Ai Ladu, the soul in the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom.

She summoned a monster card of the Bad Beast level for the first time. The negative energy accumulated in this girl's heart was so exaggerated that even Ai La could not estimate it.

The evil beast that embodies the duelist's soul system is simply a symbol of destruction and disaster.

"You are truly the best choice I have ever made, Alice Carlos! I have decided to stay with you for the rest of my life!"

After that, in just one month, Alice used the broken Elf Eye to summon a complete deck of cards.

Next, the hunt for the Eye of the Elf begins.

Alice Carlos, who had never really dueled in her life before, experienced the Dark Game as her first duel.

The duel ended in a crushing victory that was unimaginable to most people, despite being a hellish start.

In front of Alice's evil beast, ordinary dark duelists have no ability to resist.

Click——!

After that duel, Ella thought she had two chances left, but the Elf Eye was shattered and collapsed because it could not withstand the power of the evil beast.

But as long as Alice wins the Dark Game, she can use the power of the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom to directly take away the opponent's Elf Eye.

Alice also gradually summed up the rules. Even if it was a complete Elf Eye, it would collapse after enduring two duels with bad beasts at most.

But the idea of ​​fighting to support fighting still allowed Alice to get relatively ample opportunities to duel.

In the process of hunting dark duelists, Alice also met a barrier master named Megan.

Megan, a dark duelist who seemed to have the same desire for revenge as Alice, was completely overwhelmed by her absolute power after being defeated by her and vowed to follow Alice.

Although I don’t know whether Megan’s following is partly to preserve her elf eyes and survive.

But it is undeniable that the ability of the barrier master has given Alice unimaginable convenience.

So in the end, with the help of the barrier set up by Megan, Alice almost walked into the mansion of Count Omon head-on and personally tore off the Elf Eye of Count Omon, who only exploited the interests of small families and ignored the lives of the people in the fiefdom.

——Some people are simply not qualified to be duelists.

The nobles with ugly and greedy hearts fell, and no longer were oppressed by various taxes made up in the name of trickery. The Carlos family was finally able to use the money they saved to better build their own fiefdom.

Under Alice's planning, the small town of Lukao reclaimed wasteland, built roads, and distributed crop seeds for free.

The bumper harvest at the end of the year brought happy smiles to the faces of the residents of the small town, which had not been seen for many years.

"Ms. Aisha, come and taste the radishes we harvested this year. They are crisp and juicy. If you like them, I will send another basket to your house tomorrow!"

"We also have some pickled garlic that we just made. Take some too, Miss Aisha."

"This is the bread that I baked at noon. I'll bring it to Miss Alice to try... Hey, Miss Aisha, please don't run away!"

The end of the year is approaching. Through the study window, Alice looked at Aisha who had returned home for the holiday and was surrounded by the enthusiasm of the residents of the town who had a good harvest. She smiled and closed the account in her hand.

"This year, maybe it will be a good year."

The ray of warm sunshine that shines into the winter town of Lukao is the light that people who have fallen into darkness have tried their best to bring back.

Chapter 215: Only one turtle left on the field

"Can't you be as cold and ruthless as me..."

Alice looked at Erlong going away in the thick fog, watching the childhood sweetheart who grew up with her, and finally the moment of parting ways.

"Your life is too righteous. We are not the same kind of people after all, Long."
