When the cards were dealt in the fourth round, Baron Kober could no longer hide his nervous expression. He probably thought that he had taken advantage of this game, and had great expectations for that Rhodes card. Now that Xia De has won two rounds, he can't help worrying that he will lose.
With this kind of mentality, there will be a greater chance of losing. Even Xia De understands this kind of truth.
They all got their respective hole cards, and the baron showed a disappointed expression after a quick glance. It seemed that they were not kings or queens.
Then the second card, the two are Moon 9 and Moon 1 respectively. The baron who got the moon 9 hesitated for a while before deciding to continue to ask for cards, which made the people around him almost guess the range of points in his current hand.
Xia De looked at the hole cards and directly chose to ask for the cards. The third card of both sides is even more strange, the baron is the sun 1, and Shade is the flower 1.
Baron Cobol hesitated again, and even the Baron Rwanda who dealt the cards for him couldn't help reminding:
"If you hesitate for a while, I don't even need to look at your cards to know what your current hole card points are."
This made everyone around laugh, and Xia De also laughed:
"Baron, do you want to gamble on luck?"
"Mr. Hamilton, do you want to continue filming?"
Baron Cobble asked instead.
"certainly."
The corner of the baron's mouth trembled:
"Okay, I'll continue to ask for cards."
Then a king was sent to the baron, his eyes widened for a moment, his mouth was tightly closed as if he couldn't breathe. Unless Shade is blackjack, it's a two-to-two situation.
The people around were whispering, the baron suddenly looked up at Shade's card, which was an 8 of flowers.
[East View of the Old Continent · Tees Lake] After drawing this card, guess the number of a card that the opponent has not shown. If it is correct, you can choose whether to force the opponent's card number to increase one. If the opponent opens the cover first, [Eastern View of the Old Continent - Lake Tees] has no effect.
Of course, if the opponent is a king or queen, adding one point means a bust, which is also one of the basic rules.
Seeing Xia De's card, the baron was taken aback, knowing the effect of this card. At this time, I thought of the rules in my memory, and immediately stretched out my hand to reveal my hole card, but the movement of my hand was not as fast as Xia De's mouth:
"Nine o'clock, I guess."
Xia De said without any tension on his face. There is no penalty for guessing wrong. He now has 11 points and can continue to ask for cards.
Baron Copper stopped there holding the corner of the card.
"I guess it's 10 o'clock!"
Baron Lavender who dealt the cards immediately said with a smile.
"No, the probability of 9 o'clock is greater!"
Another dealer, a Rwandan baron in a curly wig, retorted.
"Quickly open the cards, what exactly is it?"
The people urged, and everyone looked at the hand of Baron Copper. The baron had an ugly expression on his face, then he laughed dryly, flipped the card and threw it on the face:
"I shouldn't have hesitated just now, okay, Star 9."
He then threw out the small bag containing the blood money, and slid along the table to Xia De's hand:
"I shouldn't have hesitated just now."
he repeated again.
Xia De opened the bag, looked at it, and nodded in satisfaction:
"Thank you, Baron, for your generosity."
"Let's play cards again when we have time."
Baron Cobol stood up with regret on his face:
"Although I lost, Mr. Hamilton, I found it really interesting to play cards with you. I can remember this kind of game for 20 years... If you hesitate, you will fail."
He made such an exclamation, and the onlookers laughed again.
After winning the bet, the dance at nine o'clock in the evening is about to begin. The onlookers dispersed, and only a few people were still playing Rhodes cards here. Xia De also took this opportunity to return to the lounge on the second floor with his antique knight's long sword, and found Bei who was waiting for him. Miss Yath and Miss Anat:
"Look."
He threw the tied bag on the coffee table, and returned the banknotes that Miss Anat just gave her.
Miss Bayas opened the bag curiously, and marveled at the gold coins without any patterns, while Miss Anat was surprised by Shade's behavior:
"What do you mean by giving me my money back?"
"No money, play Rhodes to win."
He smiled slightly relaxed, and was also very happy because he won the card:
"You know, I've always had good luck playing Rhodes."
He refers to 【Founding · Silver Moon】.
Miss Anat just took the banknotes and asked jokingly:
"Of course remember—don't get addicted to Rhodes."
Xia De repeated, thinking of the priest's worried look in his heart:
"Miss Bayas, do you think I look like a gambler?"
He asked the young lady who was playing with the old gold pounds, trying to see something special, and the latter gave him a look:
"Not like."
Shade felt more at ease now.
Now that she got the extra five blood money, Miss Anat immediately decided to carry out the so-called "precise divination".
Since Miss Galina hasn't left yet, Xia De worried that the great witch with very keen senses would see through Miss Anat's secret, so she reminded her a little bit, but Miss Anat didn't care:
"My secret, probably only God can guess."
Xia De opened his mouth and did not continue to ask, and Miss Bayas on the side did the same.
Miss Anat didn't avoid Shade and Miss Bayas when she was doing the divination. According to her words, they couldn't see any clues after seeing the whole process.
In fact, the process is very simple. First, Miss Anat holds the blood money that she has used, and after tossing it twice, she puts down the coin:
"The secret of the chosen one is not easy to divination, one blood money is not enough."
So he used the method of "trading with himself" to activate a piece of blood money that Shade won from playing cards, but two blood money was still not enough.
"After all, he is the chosen one. This is the beginning of the legend of the sixth era. If it is so easy to be divined to the result, it will make me doubt."
Xia De said so, and handed Miss Anat another one. But before Miss Anat could use the gold coin, Miss Bayas reached out and snatched it away. She shook her head and said:
"Even if the blood money will be consumed immediately, resulting in the disappearance of the curse, it may not be easy to bear so many curses in a short period of time."
She put the antique gold coin in her hand, and seeing Shad and Miss Anat looking at her, she said embarrassingly:
"You are helping me. Although I don't know how to divination, I want to do my part."
As he said that, he also followed Miss Anat's practice, and he activated the blood money by trading with himself. After the pattern on the front and back of the gold coin appeared, he handed the blood money to the female fortune teller.
"No, it's not enough..."
The three gold coins were stacked in the palm of her hand, and Miss Anat looked at the [relic] under the gas lamp with some anxiety:
"It doesn't matter, even if six coins are not enough, I have other ways to pay the price... other ways."
You can tell from her expression that other methods must not be easy, and may even cause her own harm.
"I'll come next."
Xia De also picked up a gold coin in the small cloth bag on the table. After activating it, he thought that there would be a feeling like "a cold breath penetrated into the body", but in fact he didn't feel anything.
Fortunately, four blood money was finally enough.
Miss Anat took a deep breath, and then, in front of Shad and Miss Bayas, threw the gold coins containing the curse of the sea undead into the air one by one.
At this moment, as if time had stopped, Xia De looked up at them. Under the light of the room, his eyes clearly saw every detail of the gold coins spinning in the air.
The air became thicker, and some rustling sounds appeared beside my ears.
As the blood money spins and rises through the air, it quickly decays and eventually rusts completely at its highest point. When it falls, it disperses into fly ash, and the fly ash dissipates completely before hitting the ground.
What Miss Bayas could observe, Xia De didn't know, but he saw a few gray traces of light streaking across the air among the ashes of blood money, and gathered at the back of Miss Anat's head.
He tilted his head and looked at the female fortune-teller with purple eyes. In a daze, he actually saw a transparent and illusory figure of a woman, leaning over and gently lying behind Miss Anat. The power of the blood money was completely absorbed by her, she wrapped her hands around Miss Anat's neck, and whispered something in her ear.
Miss Bayas couldn't seem to see this scene, and even Miss Anat couldn't see the person lying behind her, but Xia De saw it:
"This is......"
That transparent figure of an illusory woman is clearly the image of Miss Anat, but it looks more mature. Her expression was a little sad, her transparent body seemed incomplete, and some positions were illusory and basically without shape.
She also noticed that Xia De was looking at her, with a surprised expression on his face, and then disappeared.
【This is her "other me". 】
"But why...Miss Anat's so-called divination at a price, it seems that it is really her other me's special ability, not some kind of powerful relic. But... the one just now The figure...it doesn't seem like a normal 'other me' either."
Miss Bayas was reaching out to try to catch the ashes of the blood money, while Miss Anat tilted her head to listen to words that no one else could hear. The two of them really didn't see the figure that appeared at that moment.
"Did you see it just now?"
[I see it, but I can't give you the answer. I can only tell you that her "other me" seems to be injured, and it's not complete ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Multiple injuries? "
【Unable to judge, unless you make closer contact. 】
"The doctor's alter ego is related to demons, Miss Anat's alter ego can actually use the power of the relic..."
Xia De is still thinking, but Miss Anat has shown a satisfied smile, and it seems that the result is over again:
"The answer learned from the four blood money—to become the chosen one of [Balance], the first condition is an artifact containing the power of the ancient gods, the second condition is an understanding of [Balance] itself, and the third condition is a ceremony, a special ritual—”
She looked at Miss Bayas, who was sitting upright:
"Please say."
"Pray to the ancient gods, voluntarily donate one of your eyes, and gain the wisdom to measure balance. In an upside-down state, under the witness of people with special destiny, judge your fateful enemies fairly, and calibrate your own balance. scale, grasp the power of the judge, and become the true chosen one."
