Victory against Mr. Bersson also means that Xia De has entered the final round of the Lakeview Manor Rhodes Tournament.
The last round of the match will be held at the round table under the grape arbor. Shad and Mr. Bersson will play the fastest game, so when he and Tifa and the onlookers come under the grape arbor, the other None of the three opponents has arrived yet.
It was already 10:30 tonight, Xia De rubbed his face and felt that his mental state was still very good. Putting both hands together on the table, seeing that the game would take a while to start, Yu turned around and proposed to Tifa:
"How about a walk in the garden with me after the card game? There aren't many pleasant evenings like this before the first snow this winter."
"OK."
The maid agreed, and as for the cat in her arms, she looked at Xia De with a lazy expression, like a child who was unwilling to get out of bed on a Sunday morning.
Soon, the other three opponents who entered the finals also came here one after another, and because of the limited space for spectators, some people even spent money to exchange positions with the people in the front row.
The referee of the final game was Mr. Justin from the Prophet Association, and Shad's three opponents were Shad's friend Baron Lavender, who had good luck today; Lemaire on the other side of Lake Schluch Viscount Glenn, a relative of the family, is not from Tobesk. He was invited to the banquet when he came to Tobesk recently as a guest; the last one is the lady mentioned just now. Viscount Werther's daughter.
She has blond hair that is close to white, wears a long black dress with a red bottom, and a wide-brimmed hat with pink flowers.
Although the appearance was different from the one they met at the banquet in Huntington City, there was no doubt that it was "Miss Pavo", the six-ring magician of the Truth Society. Not only because when she sat across from Xia De, Xia De sensed the other party's ring magician level, but also because the silver-covered notebook she was holding casually looked like the book of that thick silver book. miniature version".
"Counting from Saturday night, it took her only three days to reach Tobesk from Huntington? This is really fast."
Xia De thought in his heart, together with the others, he handed in the deck again for inspection.
[Will you report her? 】
There was a chuckle in the ear, but Xia De showed no expression:
"Wait to decide later. The cultist holding the [God's Punishment of Rage] might be here too. Moreover, this Miss Pavo appeared at the banquet, but she didn't go to contact Princess Margaret, maybe because of more important things."
[They also came here for the "Keeper of Secrets"? 】
"I don't know for now, let's talk about it after finishing this game."
The four-player card group was checked quickly. Mr. Justin from the Prophet Association acted as the referee, and Mr. Sikh, who had presided over the game for Shad just now, acted as the dealer. The dealer and the four players were evenly distributed around the round table .
The winner of a multi-player game is determined in the form of points. There are no points for busted cards. Among the players who have not busted cards, the winner gets 4 points, the second highest score gets 3 points, and so on.
There are three rounds of cards in total, and after the three rounds, the scores of each player are added up, and the player with the highest score is the final winner of the game.
The rules are fairly simple and no one has any doubts about it. Amidst people's urging, as Mr. Justin loudly announced "the match begins", all people's eyes were focused on the four decks of cards on the table.
The [Life Ceremony·Wedding] placed in the photo frame is right in the center of the table, and everyone has a kerosene lamp for lighting. Although it was night in the garden, at least the lights here were bright.
"Miss Witte, this is the first time I've played Rhodes with a lady. There are really few ladies like you."
Baron Lavender said with a smile.
Everyone got their first cards, Shade glanced at his flower 3, and signaled to continue to ask for cards, Baron Lavender and Viscount Glenn with slender fingers did the same, but "Miss Werther" didn't look at it. Asking for the card directly, she responded to Baron Lavender:
"My father taught me how to play Rhodes since I was a child. It was only when I was exposed to card games that I discovered that mathematics is so wonderful. Even now that I am studying for a degree, I have not forgotten the game that inspired me."
Delarion's language is quite standard. If it weren't for "she" who could determine the fluctuations of the spirit and the characteristics of the soul, Xia De really wasn't sure that the other party was "Miss Pavo" of the Truth Society.
Mr. Sikh dealt the cards quite professionally. The four cards flew across the table almost without interruption, and landed on everyone's hidden cards.
Baron Lavender looked at his "Flower 13" and raised his eyebrows. After thinking about it, he decided to suspend the deal. Viscount Glenn got Star 10, and he signaled himself to keep asking for cards, while Shade got [Northern City·Lengshuigang City] Moon 7. Unfortunately, this card requires more than half of the deck to be used to trigger the rules, so although people whispered Praise Shade's luck, but in fact the cards don't work at all.
Xia De currently only has ten points, so he continues to ask for cards.
"Miss Werther" also continued to ask for cards, so except for Baron Lavender, the other three got the third card.
Viscount Glenn also chatted with this lady. There are indeed very few ladies who play Rhodes cards. In addition to the fact that the ladies are not interested in this, most of the aristocratic ladies will not sit with strange men and play cards:
"The last time I saw your father was this spring. I heard that he unfortunately fell off his horse and has been recuperating in bed for the past six months. I wonder how he is now?"
"Father is still resting in bed, but he can be walked away with the help of a servant."
"Miss Werther" said without changing her face.
After getting the third card, all three players, including Shad, stopped their cards.
The four looked at each other, and Baron Lavender, who only had two cards, opened the cards first:
"Flower 13 and Moon 4, 17 points. I don't want to bust. A bust means 0 points."
"It's really prudent."
Xia De praised that behind Baron Lavender, the baron's "nemesis" Baron Rwanda snorted, which actually made Baron Lavender feel better:
"Mr. Hamilton, what's your point?"
"Flower 3, Moon 7, Moon 10, 20 o'clock."
"Oh, it's indeed Reggie's Hamilton."
People talked a lot, Xia De showed a smile, stretched his hand back, and touched the cat held by Tifa:
"Miss Witte, where are your points?"
"What a coincidence, mine is also 20 o'clock."
As she spoke, the lady picked up the first hidden card and the third card with her left and right hands, which were Sun 2, Moon 11, and Sun 7 on the table.
People applauded to express their congratulations, so the three people on the table looked at the last Viscount Glenn. This tall and thin gentleman with slender fingers shook his head slightly:
"Looks like I'll have the best of luck tonight, Mr. Hamilton, sorry."
He turned over his hole cards and put them together with the last two cards, 5 for the sun, 10 for the stars and 6 for the flowers.
"Oh, blackjack!"
The heated discussion pushed the atmosphere to a new climax, followed by congratulations to the Viscount for winning Shad in the first round.
Although Xia De was quite lucky, it was impossible for him to win every round, so he expressed his congratulations in a very gentlemanly manner.
Just when the referee, Mr. Justin, wrote down the result of this round on the paper and was about to start the second round, laughter came from Xia De's ear:
[He cheated. 】
"Um?"
Xia De raised his eyebrows. In order to cover up his expression at the moment, he turned his head to look at Tifa, and then stretched out his hands to "viciously" touch Mia, causing people to laugh. Cats are traditionally believed to bring luck, so Shad's performance could be interpreted as praying for good luck.
"Who cheated?"
[Glenn at 21 o'clock. While you were talking to the Warlock of Six Rings, he replaced his hidden cards with the cards in his sleeve. 】
The cat with a stinky face looked at Xia De, as if he didn't want to respond to his boring behavior. Xia De turned back and prepared to continue the game, without the slightest doubt about "her" words.
The other party used ordinary people's card cheating techniques, and it was used blatantly under the watchful eyes of so many people. Obviously, this was not the first time. Xia De didn't expect the other party to be so bold, and it was indeed his negligence that he didn't notice just now, but he always hated others cheating when playing cards.
At this time, he had already begun to think of a way to make the other party ask for trouble, but he glanced at "Miss Witte" again, and found that the other party was also looking at Viscount Glenn:
"She found out too."
Xia De thought in his heart, looked at the first card that had been thrown over, and already had a plan in his mind.
In the first game, blackjack beat two 20 points, sparking heated discussions, which did not subside until the beginning of the second game. Among the four players present, Baron Lavender, the only one who didn't know the truth, took his own cards while laughing and discussing with Shad who would draw the first special rule card.
"Miss Werther" looked at her hole cards with a normal expression, and Viscount Glenn also joined in the conversation with Shad. In this way, when everyone got the three cards of the second round, Miss Witt and Baron Lavender both said that they would suspend the cards.
In the starry sky above, the light of March is so bright, and the warm light of the gas lamp beside the grape arbor ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is also so bright. The atmosphere was just right. At this time, Xia De's two cards had 16 points, and Viscount Glenn had 13 points. The exciting game came to a critical moment again.
"Continue to ask for cards."
Shad raised his hand.
"Knight, are you taking too much risk? What Baron Lavender said just now is right. A busted card is 0 points, and if the points are smaller, at least there are points."
Viscount Glenn frowned and asked, Xia De shook his head seriously:
"If you don't even dare to take such a risk, what kind of Rhodes player is it?"
"Yes, you are worthy of being the champion of Dacheng Player 1853!"
Someone in the crowd echoed, Xia De nodded:
"Viscount, do you continue to ask for cards?"
Viscount Glenn looked at the tabletop illuminated by lights:
"Then I will continue to ask for cards."
The next card for the two is given out in turn, and the back of the card is up when the card is dealt, but according to the rules, it must be opened immediately after getting the card.
Xia De's hand speed is relatively fast, and he smiled after opening the cards:
"Look, Viscount Glenn, Sun Six."
Explosive exclamations sounded suddenly, and then passed round and round to the periphery of the grape arbor. Although Sun 6 means that Xia De's card is broken, but Sun 6 also means that this is [Creation·Death].
