The Whispering Verses Chapter 2138: Real memory
Chapter 2138 True Memory
Seeing the two people's hesitation, Shade blinked again:
"If you don't want to bet with me, you can reveal your third card now. If I'm not wrong, your cards are not ordinary, right?"
"Do you think you have defeated us?"
Viscount Guerra asked, opening his third card, which turned out to be another special rule card:
"Star 7, [Word of the Era·Terrael River News]. Throw a 20-sided die. If the number of the die is not greater than 5, you can adjust this card to twice the number of the die."
Twist the ivory dice in the groove on the corner of the table and throw it. Unfortunately, the number is 14, which does not meet the activation effect of the special card. Viscount Gera then pursed his lips:
"Sorry, I won't follow. Sometimes it's good to be cautious. I admit defeat in this game. Although I won't bet on special cards with you again in the future, I look forward to meeting you at the card table again."
He revealed his cards totaling 18 points.
So Shade looked at Herman Wood again. The latter hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and slammed the third card on the table with an exaggerated movement, as if he wanted to use this movement to change The content of the card.
That is also a special rule card, and it is also his bet:
[Ancient Fairy Tales and Mermaid Songs], color: Moon 1. If this card is the second to last card, a 20-sided dice will be thrown during the point settlement phase. If the dice points are greater than the total points, the total points can be increased by one.
Herman Wood then revealed the first card. The current total of the three cards in his hand is 17 points.
"I noticed that you didn't announce that you were going to stop drawing cards."
Xia De said with a smile, still pressing his finger on his trump card:
"Mr. Wood, do you want to bet on your luck and continue to draw cards? Although there is a chance of busting the card, it also means that [Ancient Fairy Tale·Song of the Mermaid] has a chance to be used; or maybe I am deceiving you and I have actually busted the card. You can win by doing nothing. Although I didn’t activate the special rules just now, maybe this is just a trap.”
Mr. Wood shook his head:
"There is no need to use psychological tactics. Since Viscount Guerra thinks you are sure to win, I will bet that you are cheating. You also busted, right?"
As he said this, he was about to announce a trading suspension, but then he hesitated. Baron Wood, who was sitting aside, shook his head helplessly and said to the other two earls:
"He has been like this since he was a child. He will hesitate to do anything. Of course it is good to be cautious, but now there are no clues worth analyzing in such cards. Just choose what you think is right and make the choice."
Mr. Herman Wood probably thought that his father was criticizing him, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"I won't follow. I will stop trading now. Open the cards and let me see if you were cheating just now."
Shad nodded and took a picture of Star 12 and Flower 4 side by side. Just as he was about to open the third card, Miss Belindel held his hand down and then opened the card with her own hands.
Everyone stretched out their heads to look, and what they saw was the color of Sun 4.
"Sorry, 20 o'clock."
Shad said, Viscount Guerra showed a true expression, Mr. Herman Wood covered his face, and his father, Baron Wood, sighed at the side. Everyone could see that he was dissatisfied with himself. The son was quite dissatisfied.
At the end of the card game, the victorious Shade got the Star 7 [Words of the Times·Terrael River Journal] from Viscount Guerra, and the Moon 1 [Ancient Fairy Tale·Mermaid] from Herman Wood. 】. If you add in the 4 flowers [Fool's Story·Thunder Strike Madman] presented by Miss Belindel, the total number of Shade's special cards has jumped to 34.
With a total of 54 cards in the deck, Shade is one step closer to his dream of gathering a complete set of special rules decks.
Of course, while he was happy about winning the card, Xia De did not forget about the serious business tonight. After the card game ended, the two earls and Baron Wood still had something to talk about, and Shade took this opportunity to ask Mr. Herman Wood to go to the corridor to talk alone. He didn't even need to make excuses. Herman Wood was already a good person. I wanted to talk to Shade and Viscount Guerra respectively about the three extremely rare Rhodes cards that were rumored to have appeared locally, so Shade was the one invited to talk alone.
During the rest of that night, Shade never found another opportunity to talk to Miss Belindle alone. And when the party finally ended at 8:30 and everyone left in carriages, Shade took out the women's pistol in the carriage:
"No problem, the hidden memory is here, and the method provided by Siris is very effective."
He said with a smile, twirling the bullet nest with his fingers:
"Herman Wood was not wary of me at all. I stopped his time from behind, and then fired a shot in conjunction with the Holy Emblem to absorb his memory. After the ceremony was over, he was completely unaware of his Three minutes are lost in life."
The consumption of "Adele's Time Stop" is extremely high for ring wizards and extraordinary items. Ordinary people have no time resistance at all. Standing still for three minutes only requires Shade to take a sip of pink essence afterwards.
"Your power to stop time is really powerful."
The witch praised from the bottom of her heart. After returning to the manor with Shade, they planned to watch the erased memory together in the study.
The curtains were closed tightly and the lights in the room were turned off. Shade raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at the wall and pulled the trigger. A nearly completely transparent light bullet was ejected from the muzzle, and then formed a somewhat blurry picture on the wall.
In addition to Shade and Miss Belindel, the maid Miss Matilda is also there. All three of them saw the memory scene with Herman Wood as the first perspective. In front of him were two servants holding oil lamps. Next to him could be seen Georgia Black and Freeman Hawthorne, whom Shade was quite familiar with.
The deceased who had his blood sucked was also beside him. Of course, he was still alive at this time. The woman held his arm and spoke in a rather artificial voice, and the sound coming from the picture was as vague as the picture itself.
"Although the memory has been extracted, it has been erased before, so the quality is not very good. It is not the relic itself that is not good."
Xia De explained, the witch frowned and looked at the glowing picture on the wall:
"Judging from the surrounding environment, are they in the sewer?"
"It looks like it should be."
The group of people were walking and talking, and the originally vague sounds echoed in the sewer, making the sounds even more difficult to distinguish. But Shade still heard that Georgia Black was asking the servant to show the way and wanted to take his two friends to see something "interesting".
This memory is not long, so they quickly approached their destination. A deep and oppressive sound came from the screen, and then another light appeared in front of the sewer.
The people who were responsible for guarding the secrets in the secret place of the sewer came and confirmed their identities with Georgia Black and his party, but they did not allow the woman, Wood and Hawthorne to follow them in:
"Mr. Black, you know the rules."
So Georgia Black, who felt offended, took out a few banknotes from his pocket, and the group was allowed to move forward. Then they walked inside, and Shade and Miss Belindel also saw the secret part of the sewer that had been transformed into a prison cell:
"How many things are hidden in the sewer system of Yuewan City?"
Outlanders couldn’t help but ask, but even locals couldn’t explain clearly:
"Yuewan is really too old."
The memory image becomes even more blurry here. Even if there are more torches and kerosene lamps around, the noise and blurred light and shadow still make it difficult to identify more information.
The memory comes to an end here. Georgia Black proudly turned to Herman Wood and Freeman Hawthorne and said:
"This is not something ordinary people can see. Come here, if you are so scared that you pee your pants, I will definitely laugh at you."
A door beside them was opened, and then bright yellow vertical pupils occupied all the space in the memory screen.
For a moment, Shade was very confused as to why the owner of the memory was so close to these eyes, but when the blond witch beside him suddenly stood up from the sofa, he also realized that the vertical pupils at this time were not at all It's not memory.
"Memory countermeasures, it doesn't matter, let me do it."
The Countess said unhurriedly. As the vertical pupils on the wall became more and more real, as if they were about to come out of the wall, she took a bottle filled with black powder from the hands of the blonde maid beside her. glass vial.
Pour the powder into the palm of your hand, and then blow it forward suddenly. The flying powder burned in the air and quickly attached to the vertical pupil. After a muffled bang, the vertical pupil exploded on the spot, and some blood-red liquid flew from the screen into the real study room, and the memory ended here.
"Don't move yet. The person who deleted this memory has set up a tracking method. It seems that the other party also has a fortune teller, but they are probably just bad fortune tellers."
The witch chanted the curse softly again, but did not call out the life ring or the golden staircase. She threw out six cards and formed a cube in the air, as if they were wrapping something invisible.
"Okay, then I will try to induce the other party's fortune teller to get wrong information. If I'm lucky, the other party really sends people to look for it, and we can get new clues."
She is quite confident in her anti-divination methods, and Shade does not doubt the professionalism of the great witch of fate. So the maid went to turn on the light in the study, and Shade sat down on the sofa again:
"Tonight is an important step forward in the investigation. Although the memory is brief, there is a lot of information. Miss Belindel, I don’t know if you have noticed that the eye that appeared at the end looks like The eyes of the dragon beast."
"Dragon" can refer to all mixed-blood dragons except pure-blood dragons. Of course, if anyone dares to use this word to describe a dragon-born ring warlock, be prepared to be beaten.
