What was placed in front of Charlie was a thick stack of cards.
The cards were arranged delicately in the iron box, with one pile in each corner and two cards stacked in the middle. Because the backs were facing Charlie, the contents could not be seen clearly for a while, and only the backs of the cards could be seen.
Exactly the same, full of geometric figures and various line patterns, a bit like a scene in a kaleidoscope.
"What is this?" Charlie looked at Angel in confusion. Is this thing meant for magicians? Why didn't she know it at all?
Angel did not explain, but motioned to Charlie to take it out and take a look.
Charlie hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to touch one of the cards. The moment she touched it, all the cards inside seemed to be activated. They all flew out of the iron box and were arranged regularly one by one.
Rotating around Charlie.
It was only then that Charlie finally saw the contents of the card.
There are four different patterns, namely hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs. Each pattern has thirteen cards. Each card is marked with a common number and pattern. At this time, these cards are all moving around Charlie at a constant speed.
Rotate.
The only exception is that there are two cards in the box that have not moved and are quietly placed in the middle of the box. Even though the pattern on the back is the same as the other cards, it makes Charlie feel that it is different from the other four cards inexplicably.
The solemn feeling of the color card.
Charlie still doesn't know what these cards are, but these cards give her a vague feeling of closeness, and they always feel like they match her very well.
On the other side, Greya looked at these cards with a glint in her eyes.
She always felt like she had seen these cards somewhere.
At this time, Charlie didn't see any clues among the fifty-two known cards, so she set her target on the last two cards in the box.
When Charlie's fingers picked up one of the cards, a weird laugh suddenly appeared.
Charlie's fingertips trembled, and the card suddenly slipped out, and then a burst of white mist suddenly exploded in the center of the card. A black and white clown, wearing a funny costume embroidered with four patterns, appeared in a strange posture.
in front of her.
The moment the clown appeared, everything around him became dark, as if he had entered a dark night without any light source.
Nothing could be seen, only the clown's weird and shrill laughter could be heard.
Before Charlie knew what was happening, a hand suddenly stretched out and took out the card suspended in front of Charlie.
When this hand touched the card, the clown who had jumped out of the card returned to the card, and the surrounding darkness instantly faded, returning to the world of light again.
Charlie came out of her trance and realized that the person holding the card was Greya, who had been watching as a spectator.
At this time, Grea was holding the card that the black and white clown had jumped out from before, studying it with a frown.
"This card seems to have appeared in...the Sleepless City?" Greya whispered softly, with a rare solemnity in her words.
Sleepless City? Before Charlie could react, did she mean the Sleepless City that had fallen in the Eternal Night Kingdom, or was it the Sleepless City that was forced to leave the Evernight Kingdom and build a new city?
Charlie didn't know what she meant, but Angel knew what Greya was talking about.
The monster clown card, or ghost card, comes from the nightmare world.
"Have you seen this card?" Angel asked curiously. The Joker card was first accidentally released by him in the Night Demon City of the Dark Demon Kingdom. Later, it was said that it followed the fox harp player and the frog chanter to the eternal night.
It’s a country, but Angel didn’t see it in the Sleepless City.
Greya shook her head: "I haven't seen it, but the Candy House also has its own internal information channel. I know that similar cards have appeared in Sleepless City... cards, but they seem to be much bigger than yours."
Greya looked at the Joker card carefully and didn't see many clues, so she handed the card back to Charlie. Charlie was still a little overwhelmed holding the card, and looked at Angel in confusion, hoping to
Get the answer from his mouth.
Since Angel had refined this deck of cards, he naturally had no reason to keep it secret. He said directly without any hesitation: "This is a deck of playing cards."
What are playing cards? This is the first time Charlie has heard of such a weird name. Although she has a vague feeling of affinity, does a magician really need this kind of prop? Also, what is the function of this deck of playing cards?
?
Although Xia Li didn't ask these questions, her eyes said everything.
Angel thought for a while: "In a very distant place, although it is far away from the wizarding world, the profession of magician has also developed there. And playing cards are a kind of magician's hand.
Or tool cards."
"Magicians developed a series of magic tricks using playing cards, which are collectively called card magic."
Although this was the first time Charlie had heard of card magic, as a dedicated magician, looking at the playing cards surrounding her, these cards were full of numbers, patterns and patterns, and had faint logical connections within them.
From her perspective, she might actually be able to develop a series of wonderful magic tricks.
Angel: "I can simply show you card magic."
That's what he said, but Angel didn't intend to go into battle in person. Instead, he tapped the table with his knuckles, and an illusion appeared around them.
This is a large theater full of upper-class atmosphere. On the stage stands a tall man wearing a magician's costume. Under the stage are a group of nobles dressed very gentlemanly. The air is full of red wine and luxury.
A bright light shone on the gentleman magician, attracting the attention of everyone present. He told a dirty joke that the common people did not understand, but the nobles tacitly understood, to warm up the atmosphere. When the atmosphere was almost up, he
He took out a deck of playing cards and shuffled and cut the cards while continuing to speak jargon.
It would seem confusing to outsiders, but Charlie's eyes became brighter and brighter the more she looked at it, especially the magician's shuffling movements that were obviously full of fancy but still very elegant, so Charlie couldn't help but imitate them with bare hands.
Although this magician's conversation, temperament, and behavior are not the same magician as Charlie, he still has his own inherent elegance. Especially the inducement of movements, the confusion of words, and various hints, all of which Charlie understands
, if this person were a real person, he would definitely be a very famous magic master.
The magician shuffled the cards and walked off the stage.
The lights above the head have been following the magician, making everyone's eyes move accordingly.
The magician came to one of the tables under the stage. This table had the best viewing position, and the people on the seats were also the most luxuriously dressed. They must have been the most distinguished people in the entire theater.
The magician stopped in front of the table, said a few witty remarks, and then got down to the main topic of performing magic.
