The Whispering Verses Chapter 70: Victory
He was horrified at the blackjack in his hand, but on the surface he just shrugged and tried to keep his face calm. Except for Baron Rwanda, other people onlookers had already begun to congratulate him.
In the second round, Shade saw that the opponent's first two cards totaled 11, and the third card directly exceeded 21, so the total of the two cards in his hand was 16 and he gave up asking for cards.
The expression on the opposite side of Baron Rwanda was already wrong.
In the third round, Shade couldn't remember clearly what the opponent's card was, but when he saw that his bright card was the king, he was horrified again and almost couldn't help but check his surroundings.
Because the open card was "King", I didn't touch the hole card again. Baron Rwanda, on the other hand, was not lucky enough to draw the king and queen, nor was he lucky enough to draw 21 points, so he lost again.
In the fourth round, Shade’s bright card is the queen...
"Are you tampering with me?"
Even he couldn't help but ask the voice in his head.
[The Ring Warlock’s ‘other self’ cannot interfere with reality. 】
"But you are not the usual case."
【I am special because of you, I cannot directly interfere with reality. And even if I could, why should I interfere with the game? 】
The murmuring voice answered in my mind, still so pleasant. Shade also thought that the other party was not that boring, so he believed what the other party said, but Baron Rwanda obviously did not believe Shade.
He was panting heavily, looking at the queen on the table amid the excited discussions at the table, and it took him a long time to ask to recheck Baron Lavender's deck. After the inspection, another person shuffled the fifth round of cards. The original shuffler, Mr. Candela, who was under suspicion, was very unhappy and stood sulking under the grape trellis.
"Detective, I don't care if you are lucky or otherwise, at least I won this time."
After only receiving two cards, Baron Rwanda said, revealing the "King" who revealed the hole card.
The card that was just used cannot be added to the game, at least not in this game. Therefore, it is impossible for Shade's deck to have a "king" and "queen", so unless he gets 21 points, it is impossible to win this round.
Xia De's up card is Sun 13, and the revealed hole card is Flower 13. People immediately exclaimed in excitement, not because the young detective finally lost, but because the flower 13 in Baron Lavender's deck was a special rules card [Northern City Artek City].
According to the rules, Shade can roll a dice, and once the dice reaches 20 points, he can draw a new card. In the current state, if it were not for 20 points, he would indeed have lost this round.
Of course Shade would not play this kind of game with the [Relic] twenty-sided dice of destiny he held. He twisted the one that Baron Rwanda used just now. This was his first time touching ivory. products.
The people around him immediately held their breath. Shade didn't understand their excitement. After all, even if the dice number was not 20, he was leading the third round four to one.
With a slight toss, the white ivory dice spun on the stone table. People stretched their necks in unison. When the number 20 stopped upward, Shade was really worried that Baron Lavender on his left would have a heart attack due to being too excited.
"This game will be talked about until the end of the year."
Sir Lavender, who had a beautiful mustache, said tremblingly:
"After I got this card, I never rolled a 20 once."
Xia De shrugged, not questioning the other party's bad luck. He took his next card and already knew the result in his mind without looking at it:
"If this card was the number 8 of any suit, I would have collected 21 points to win, but this kind of luck is definitely not right."
With the dim light of the candle on the candlestick on the stone table, he tilted his head and glanced from below. He hesitated and observed the expression of his opponent, Baron Rwanda, to make sure that the opponent would not have a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and then turned the Sun 8 over. .
Perhaps this game can be talked about by the Rhodes players watching on the scene until next year.
"You really didn't interfere in the game?"
He asked softly again, and then it seemed like a woman was whispering in his ear. This phenomenon is very strange, because there is obviously no such space behind him:
[Even if I have such ability, why should I do such boring things? 】
"But the current situation is obviously not normal!"
While he accepted people's congratulations with a smile, he thought in his heart that ring magicians are probably proficient in such double-tasking.
[You can think about it, what is the reason that may cause such abnormal luck? 】
Shad got the answer almost immediately. It was so obvious that he had not experienced much when he came to this world:
"Twenty-sided dice of fate? 20 points are thrown, good things will definitely happen because of it? But why is the luck of Rhodes getting better? What is the connection? Moreover, the meaning of the dice must be clearly shown in In front of me, this is just speculation right now."
Shad's victory also meant that Baron Lavender won two of the three games. Although he did not win the first game, he did win this Rhodes card.
Although Baron Rwanda was very angry at Shade's last 8 Sun, he graciously followed the agreement and gave the Rhodes card [Ancient Fairy Tale·Match Girl] with special rules and special card faces to him. Shade gave 20 pounds in cash to Sir Solal.
This baron actually brought so much cash to the open-air banquet.
Although Baron Rwanda lost, he had no negative opinion of Shade. On the contrary, he shook hands with Shade enthusiastically and invited him to play Rhodes together some time. Of course, Shade agreed perfunctorily.
"I spent a lot of effort to win this card."
While handing the match girl to Shade, the Baron glanced at Baron Lavender. Baron Lavender was the last owner of the cards, and Baron Rwanda was obviously deliberately trying to **** him off.
"You must keep it well and hope to see it in your hand next time we play cards together. Detective Hamilton, if you don't want to keep this card and want to sell it, you must contact us first Me, I will definitely buy it even if I borrow money... Of course, Rhodes card enthusiasts like us cannot sell special cards at will."
As he spoke, he glanced at Baron Lavender, obviously warning him that once he took this card from Shade, his reputation might be in jeopardy.
The mustachioed Baron, who was receiving congratulations from his friends under the grape trellis, raised his head slightly:
"Of course, Shade, you must take good care of this card."
His relationship with Shade should not be good enough to call him by name, and this sentence means that Shade will temporarily serve as the card keeper for a period of time.
"Of course, I will take good care of it."
Shade put the cards in his notebook and put the notebook back into his coat pocket.
Of course Baron Lavender would not talk to Shade about [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl] at the banquet, but he did want to invite Shade to spend the rest of the banquet together after this game.
Unfortunately, Shade was still thinking about Dr. Schneider, so he could only decline the Baron and his friends. After leaving the grape trellis, while thinking about his inexplicable good luck, he walked along the road that the doctor had just left.
