The Knight's Journey to the Empire

On this day, the fleet that Soran and his crew were on was sailing steadily forward on the sea at a relatively slow speed, neither fast nor slow.

The sunshine above the sea must be scorching and warm, but the salty and humid sea breeze that blows slowly around from time to time can also bring a hint of coolness to people.

Many seabirds are not even afraid of people. They treat the sailing ships as islands and stay on the railings beside the ships at will.

But soon, some angry sailors rushed over and drove them away!

Because when these seabirds stay on the railings, they will defecate all over the boat from time to time, destroying the sanitary environment of the boat.

The sailors were unwilling to wash the deck and increase their workload unnecessarily, so they had no choice but to drive the seabirds away.

But these seabirds are really speechless, because if you don't chase them away, it will definitely poop before flying away.

This caused the sailors on the ship to curse, but they could not catch them and were helpless.

……

In an open compartment on the second floor of a large ship in the center of the fleet, Soran, Countess Katis, and Butler Mark were sitting around a table, playing a new type of game.

This game was recently invented by Soran and is called [The Dispute between Kings and Nobles].

But this is actually the [Dou Dizhu] game that was widely circulated among the general public in Sauron's previous life. He just gave the game such a new name in order to better integrate into this world.

After all, the original name [Fighting Landlords] has a somewhat anti-party meaning no matter how you listen to it, and it is against the party that Sauron himself is in now.

Soran is already preparing to make this game a territory feature and develop it into a bigger one in the near future.

So it was natural that he would not leave even the slightest hidden danger for himself.

By the way, there are also games such as mahjong, chess, and gobang, which Sauron will produce in the future.

Because in Sauron's plan, if he could really find a piece of land suitable for establishing a country in the future, he would use some of the business management concepts and publicity methods from his previous life to open a gambling city or entertainment city famous on the continent, so as to attract the nobles of the continent to come and consume and play.

In this way, as the boss, he can collect a lot of money and make a fortune.

Of course, these are all later stories and there is no need to discuss them in detail here.

Moreover, a world-famous gambling city cannot be opened easily. The knowledge, plans, etc. involved are very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words.

The topic returned to the alien version of the [Dou Dizhu] game that Soran and his friends were currently playing - [The Dispute between Kings and Nobles].

This game was created by Soran for the first time, and because there was no suitable material to make the soft playing cards used in his previous life, he used the appearance of mahjong to create it.

Take a spade 2 as an example: it is made of a wooden block similar in size to a mahjong piece, with the suit of a spade and the number 2 engraved on the front, and then polished all around to make its image more rounded and smooth.

So if you look at this deck of cards as a whole, although the workmanship isn't exquisite and the material isn't precious, it's good enough that it won't prick your hands or hurt your skin.

Of course, if there is any change, it is that A becomes 1, J becomes the "male" in Baron, Q becomes the "male" in Earl, K becomes the "male" in Duke, and the kings and queens become the king and queen.

This was mainly because Soran took into account that in the popular culture of the Knight Continent, the writing was mainly in the form of single hieroglyphs, and there were no alphabetic writings.

Moreover, this kind of change, with one level suppressing another and a strict hierarchy, is more in line with the actual situation of the current slave society.

In this way, if you want to develop and expand it in the future, it will be easier for people to accept it.

As for how to play with this deck of cards, the basic rules of the game certainly remain unchanged, but game operations such as drawing cards, shuffling cards, and playing cards are almost the same as playing mahjong.

……

"Three with one!" Soran gave the order and threw out the three 6s and the single 5 in front of him.

"I also have three with one, bigger than you!" Countess Katis on the side showed a surprised smile on her face, and couldn't wait to throw out her three 10s and a single 8.

It looked as if he was afraid that Sauron would suddenly change his mind!

She then covered the two remaining cards on her table, smiled at Soran with a little pride on her face and said: "Soran, I only have two cards now! I'm going to win soon!"

Ever since Soran developed the game [Disputes between Kings and Nobles] and taught Countess Katis and Butler Mark the relevant rules, perhaps out of curiosity, they quickly fell in love with this new game.

In addition, they were now sailing on the sea and had nothing to do, so the three of them often got together to play cards to kill time.

But because both of them are novices, their winning rate is basically more losses than wins.

This result also aroused their desire to win to a certain extent, making them feel more satisfied every time they defeated Sauron.

Countess Katis was the most powerful among them. Every time she defeated Soran, she would show off a little.

After all, women are the most vengeful!

In the current game, the [King], or the landlord, is Countess Katis.

But now she only has two cards left in her hand, and judging from her expression, these two cards seem to be pretty good.

This made her think that she had already won the game.

Soran smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Countess Katis confidently: "Hey, Helen, if I'm not mistaken, the two cards in your hand should be a [King] and a single card!"

"Uh!" The smile on Countess Katis's face froze for a moment, but she immediately said in a somewhat hypocritical tone: "No! You guessed wrong!"

But obviously, the change in her facial expression had betrayed her!

When Sauron saw this, he understood what was going on, but he didn't expose her!

After Countess Katis, it was Butler Mark's turn to play.

There were still many cards on Butler Mark's table, at least ten, but he chose not to take them.

Then it was Soren's turn.

But he pretended to be profound and said to Countess Curtis nonchalantly: "Helen, I'll give you another chance. Let you play another card!"

Countess Katis looked at Soran's confident look and felt a little uneasy in her heart!

She had just learned to play this game not long ago, and she was just an ordinary person, so she was not very proficient in "remembering cards", a special skill that tests memory.

Therefore, she couldn't guess Soran's trump card.

So in this situation, she hesitantly played a [King] card.

Countess Katis is betting that Soran doesn't have a bomb!

But unfortunately, she made a wrong bet!

Because when Soran saw her play this [King] card, a smug smile appeared on his face, as if to say "Everything is under control!"

Next it was Butler Mark's turn, and he again chose not to.

Soran then launched a 10-bomb attack while Countess Katis frowned and pouted.

Countess Katis was a little impatient and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Don't!"

Then Soran laughed!
