"Since your blood money can only be paid by you as a price after you use it, why don't you divination immediately after activation, but keep it in your hand?"
"Blood money also has an unimportant feature. Every blood money has the function of sensing other blood money. When I took the last blood money out of my storage method, it sensed the existence of Tobesk Another blood money. But the perception is very vague, and after activation, this perception will be enhanced."
She asked Shad and Miss Bayas to try to touch the gold coins without wearing gloves. Immediately, the vibration of blood money was transmitted from the fingers to the brain.
"That's right, I have already found out that the holder of the blood money is in the banquet. I invited Miss Bayas to this banquet. I originally planned to find the batch of blood money with her, and then immediately perform divination on her. I didn't expect you to show up just as I wanted to tell her about it."
Miss Anat looked at Shad:
"Look, detective, don't worry about me."
"It's more worrying for you to say that."
Miss Bayas said that she didn't know what to say, the woman sitting beside her did such a crazy move for her sake.
"The batch of blood money consisted of 5 coins. In the hands of Baron Cobble who attended the banquet, the baron seemed to think that those old coins were his lucky items. The dance of this dinner will start after 9 o'clock. My plan is to take advantage of the dance. Make an appointment with him alone, and bring up that I'm a coin collector and would like to trade him for those old gold pounds. If he won't . . . then there's nothing else to do."
Other methods probably wouldn't be legal.
"What is the market value of those five old gold pounds?"
Shad asked.
"Because it is not clear which era the five blood money turned into gold pounds, it is difficult to estimate the market value, but the highest value of a single coin will not exceed a £5. They will not become too expensive antiques , otherwise it will easily fail to be traded as currency.”
Blood money only triggers traits when it is itself traded as currency. And if it is traded as an antique, then it is just an ordinary antique.
As he spoke, the fortune teller with short brown hair stood up:
"I'm going to implement the plan, you guys are waiting for me here. Divinate immediately after buying it."
"Don't bother, sit down, Miss Anat."
Xia De stretched out his hand:
"Give me the gold pound you want to buy blood money, and wait for me here for a while, and I will get those antiques."
"You know the Baron?"
Miss Anat asked, and then handed the banknotes she had prepared to Xia De. She prepared 30 pounds to prevent the other party from raising the price.
"Of course I do, because of this."
He waved his Rhodes card at the two ladies.
An hour has passed since leaving the game and returning, but the game is still going on in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall on the second floor.
When they left, Baron Lavender and Baron Cobol were playing against each other. When they came back, Baron Lavender was still sitting there, but the opponent was Baron Rwanda.
Baron Copper stood behind Baron Lavender to watch the battle, and Shad invited the baron to speak aside.
The baron did not refuse, and together with Xia De came to a place far away from the crowd in front of the French window. Looking at the city from the second floor, those yellow lights represent the power of this era.
After confirming that there was no one around, Shad twirled his fingers at Baron Kober:
"Baron, I heard that you recently got some old gold pounds in good condition? Are you interested in selling them?"
The Baron himself was in the antique business, and the news of those coins was not hidden, so Shade's transaction request was not abrupt:
"You know, that shooting not long ago..."
The young detective embarrassedly pointed to his chest:
"So I've been looking for some lucky coins and want to keep them with me, or I'll always feel like I'm going to get shot again. I have a friend who is a psychiatrist, and he said it's some kind of post-traumatic disorder, sorry, technical words I don't remember exactly."
Baron Cobble showed a smile of understanding, and this banquet was able to be held because of this incident:
"This is my lucky coin, but since you offered to buy it, I think I can reluctantly part with it. Mr. Hamilton, do you want all five?"
"certainly."
Xia De nodded, but the baron did not immediately agree, but thought about it, and proposed:
"However, please allow me to change the transaction method. The transaction of gold pounds is too vulgar. I wonder if you are interested in getting a chance to get these antique coins for free."
"What's the meaning?"
Xia De hesitated, a little worried that the other party actually didn't want to sell those gold pounds.
"If you want these five coins, then play Rhodes with me, you win, and these coins belong to you."
He took out a tightly tied small cloth bag from his pocket and shook it, Xia De narrowed his eyes.
"If you lose, I'll give you 50 pounds, and these five coins belong to you too...but you have to give me your [Northern City Lengshuigang City]."
But the problem is that although the price of the special Rhodes card [Northern City Lengshuigang City] can be estimated by referring to the Rhodes card trading market, in fact, this kind of card can't be bought even if you want to, and those old gold pounds are not very expensive. cherish.
In other words, this transaction was not because Shad wanted to buy the five coins, but Baron Cobble wanted to gamble on his luck to buy Shad's Rhodes card.
"If you win, you will save Miss Anat a large amount of money. If you lose, it is equivalent to buying those blood money at a fair price... It seems that you are not losing money. Why do you refuse?"
Xia De thought to himself, and then smiled provocatively at the Baron:
"Of course, why not have an exciting game of Rhodes?"
Shad's return attracted people's attention, and when he and Baron Copper announced that they would bet against Lords, people were even more excited. Compared with gambling money, gambling with special rules cards is the most attractive.
"I noticed that the dance is about to start, so it doesn't need to be too complicated. The basic rule is, whoever wins three times first wins. Or the first person to draw out the deck loses."
Xia De didn't want to waste time here.
He still adheres to the good habit of not gambling, but this time it is considered to be to save Baron Cobol, and the blood money left by his side will cause accidents sooner or later. Captain Lades is a good example.
"Detective, are you really willing to bet a card? Those antique coins are actually worthless."
As Shad's friend, Baron Lavender tried to persuade him in a low voice, but Shad shook his head:
"Look, I won the title of knight today. On such a memorable day, how can we not have an exciting Rhodes card?"
The people who heard his words all showed smiles, and this kind of words was very in line with the appetite of the gentlemen around here at this time.
"I'm looking forward to your luck."
Baron Cobol rubbed his hands and said, his face was also flushed, looking forward to this game. For him, the worst ending would be to lose those antique coins, and this was also a match that he would definitely not suffer from.
People gathered around expectantly, and Shad, who had already sat down, looked up at Baron Lavender and Baron Rwanda:
"How about asking the two of you to check the deck and deal the cards?"
"No problem at all."
The people around became excited, and every time a special card changed hands, it could be discussed for a long time by everyone.
"Then I'll do the notarization and make sure the spirit of the game remains fair."
An elderly gentleman in the crowd said, and the person next to him introduced to Xia De, this is Viscount Cronenberg, who is also a well-known Rhodes player in the local area.
"There are still twenty minutes until nine o'clock. It seems that we are moving faster."
Shad handed the deck of cards to Baron Lavender, who excitedly walked to the table, while the people gathered slightly towards the middle, lest they miss the exciting scene.
In this corner of the banquet hall on the second floor, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. The unique culture has created a special Rhodes hobby group. This kind of poker game attended by distinguished players is generally considered an "elegant game" and is most suitable for holding such a high-end banquet.
No one wasted any time, the game officially started, the two barons dealt cards for both sides, but neither of them looked at the cards immediately, but signaled to continue to deal the cards.
Baron Cobol's second card was the 7 of the sun, so he took a look at the hole card. And Xia De's second card was also the sun 7, so he also checked the hole card.
"It seems that my luck is still good."
The baron turned his hole card, the moon is 13, a total of 20 points. He stroked his chin and shook his head at Xia De:
"Mr. Hamilton, what about you?"
"Continue to ask for cards."
Shad said, and the following card was the 6 of flowers. He shook his head regretfully, turned over his hole cards, 8+7+6, and the points exploded.
The onlookers chatted in low voices, and Baron Cobble showed a smug smile.
In the second round that followed, the two still didn't look at their hole cards, but Xia De's second card was directly the queen. The baron continued to ask for cards with a serious expression, wanting to bet on blackjack, and as expected Also busted.
In this way, it is one-on-one. Xia De's mentality is very peaceful, and he will not invest too much passion in this kind of game. But Baron Cobol on the opposite side is already a little nervous, which is related to whether he can get a special card.
In the third round, the baron checked the hole cards before deciding to continue to ask for cards. He finally stopped on the third card, which was 19 points.
But Shade didn't stop until the fourth card. The first three cards were Sun 1, Sun 4 and Sun 5, and the fourth card was issued by Baron Lavender~www.mtlnovel.com~It turned out to be Sun 10 , which caused people to exclaim.
Shade's Sun 10 is [Original Steam Engine Mark Nine]. When you draw this card, if you already have at least two cards in your hand, and all the cards you hold are of the sun suit, you can place the number of this card in 9, Adjust within 10.
"Oh, Mr. Hamilton, you've had pretty good luck."
Even the opponent, Baron Cobol, couldn't help being surprised, but Shad thought it was bad luck:
"Whether it is a special card or not, I can win this round. The effect of the special card is wasted here, and it consumes my luck for nothing."
"Mr. Hamilton, do you also believe in the conservation of luck?"
The middle-aged officer in military uniform among the crowd asked, this is Captain Lades' friend whom Shad met just now.
"Of course I don't believe it. It's just a pity that this card didn't appear when I was at 22 o'clock."
He was joking, which earned approving laughter.
