After the first two rounds of competition, Baron Lavender is now 1+2=3 points, Miss Witt is 3+3=6 points, and Shade is 3+4=7 points. Baron Lavender is unlikely to win the championship anyway unless Shad explodes. But if the Baron withdraws from the game now, it means that even if Miss Witt wins Shad, the total score will be a tie. Therefore, even though there was no hope of winning, for the sake of fairness in the total score, Baron Lavender remained a very gentleman.
After the three of them readjusted their seat positions, the referee, Mr. Justin, said loudly several times that the game had started before he managed to draw people's attention back.
"Miss Witte, speaking of it, this is also the first time I've played Rhodes with a lady."
Because one person was missing, the remaining three switched seats. At this time, Xia De was sitting opposite Miss Pavo under the grape arbor, and the referee Mr. Justin was standing opposite Baron Lavender.
The six-ring sorceress from the Truth Society had a smile on her face, as if she was really enjoying the grand banquet tonight.
"Mr. Hamilton, you will find that the ladies are as good at mathematics as the men."
The hole cards of the three were dealt out separately, Xia De didn't look at the hole cards, and directly signaled to continue the deal.
Miss Paavo's De La Rion accent was exceptional, just as her Carson Rico accent was good enough to be a government spokesman.
"So, ma'am, you're good at math?"
Xia De asked, and then looked at his second card with the other two. Coincidentally, the numbers of the three are exactly the same, but the suits are different. The Shad is 7 stars, the sorceress is 7 flowers, and Baron Lavender is 7 suns.
"It's really a coincidence."
The baron said with a smile, indicating to continue to ask for cards, and Shade and "Miss Werther" did the same.
"I can't say I'm good at it, but I always think that only mathematics in this world can't lie."
She said, Shad nodded slightly:
"Yes, I quite agree with this point of view, but I think it is best to add certain qualifiers to this kind of 'absolute' sentence, otherwise..."
He stopped, and was interrupted by Baron Lavender:
"I suspend trading."
The baron turned over the cards and put them together with the other two cards:
"Sun 3, Sun 7 and Sun 9, 19 o'clock."
While talking, he looked at the third card of Xia De and "Miss Witte", looking forward to what will happen in the game.
The chirping of insects is no longer heard in the early winter night, and the night is getting darker, and the halo of the gas lamp under the grape trellis is so ambiguous and vague.
Xia De looked at the cards in his hand and asked:
"Miss Witt, the current situation is that if I don't bust my cards, you must win the first place in this round and I will be third in this round before you can win the final. So, what do you think your Do you have a high chance of winning?"
The female sorceress raised her mouth and said:
"I don't think you will bust. This is the conclusion I made after studying all of your hand games that are circulated on the market. Mr. Hamilton, you are very cautious and have good luck, so there is a high probability that you will not bust this time. "
She looked at herself and Shad's third card:
"If you want to discuss the winning rate, your card is the flower 7 and the flower 8, 15 points. And my card is the star 7 and the sun 10, 17 points. I think my winning rate is relatively high."
Although he doesn't know the opponent's ring warlock system, Xia De thinks that the sorceress in front of him is very likely to have completely calculated the winning rate of the two sides in the current state.
He shook his head:
"If you play cards too clearly, it will affect your mood. And I have heard such a saying, supernatural powers are not as good as the sky, ahem, ability is not as good as luck, and sometimes the tricks are exhausted, but it will delay me."
"No, no, math doesn't lie."
The two exchanged opinions, and Miss Pavo turned over her cards:
"I suspend trading."
I saw that her cards were 2 stars, 7 stars, and 10 suns, a total of 19 points, which happened to be the same as Baron Lavender. But what people pay attention to is not the total points, but the special card Star 2.
The face of the card is a human male with his legs spread apart and his arms stretched to the left and right. Everything else is blurred except for the heart, which is depicted in exquisite detail, probably as fine as a hand-drawn illustration in a college anatomy textbook.
Star 2 [Human Organ·Heart], when this card is drawn, if the total points of the player are an odd number, the effect can be activated according to the total points of the opponent at the end of the round. If the opponent's total points are even, the opponent's total points will be forcibly reduced by 2; if the opponent's total points are odd, the opponent's total points will be forcibly added by two. Does not affect the points of bust, this effect must be activated, and the effect is only valid for non-suspended opponents.
"Miss Witt has 19 points, the effect is activated. Oh? It's this kind of special card?"
Baron Lavender said in surprise:
"Most of the special effects of the Rhodes card can be chosen not to be used. The effects that are marked as must be activated are all luck rules that have both positive and negative effects. Plus two and minus two?"
The appearance of such a special special card finally brought people's attention back from the incident of "the knight punching the cheater" just now.
People urged Xia De to open the card, wanting to know who is more beneficial to this special card of "Miss Witte".
But Xia De shook his head:
"Continue to ask for cards."
"Xia De, you now have a total of 15 points in the two revealed cards, do you still want to continue asking for cards?"
Baron Lavender asked in surprise, while "Miss Werther" said with a smile:
"This shows that if the cards are drawn now, Mr. Hamilton will definitely lose. He continues to ask for cards, which means that the three cards have not exploded. This shows that Mr. Hamilton's total points are definitely not 17 points, but 19 points."
Baron Lavender thought for a while before he understood:
"Oh, yes, this lady and I both have 19 points. According to the rules of the special card [Human Organ·Heart], 17 points are 19 points, 18 points are 16 points, 19 points are 21 points, and 20 points are 18 points, 21 points are 23 points. Therefore, Xia De can only win if the total points are 17 or 19 points!"
"Yes, as long as the Hamilton Cavaliers can't win or tie me, then the third game is he gets two points and I get four points. He only leads me by one point in the first two games, so he must win or tie this game .”
Miss Werther nodded slightly:
"So, it gets interesting, can Mr Hamilton get to 17 or even 19?"
In fact, the probability of 17 is extremely small, because Shade's second and third cards add up to 15 points.
This kind of game where the limit of points is compressed to only a few possibilities is the most exciting game. Coupled with Miss Witte's simple analysis, the current situation has been sorted out, and special cards have eliminated other possibilities. This kind of interesting matchup may not be encountered once in half a year.
Xia De smiled lightly and shook his head:
"Yeah, I have to be 17 or 19 points total, which is really interesting."
He wasn't nervous. Although he was very interested in [Life Ritual·Wedding], it was okay to lose. He was already satisfied with the boxing victory just now, and Xia De would not expect to win twice.
The fourth card was dealt from the back, but Xia De did not show it immediately, but revealed his hole card, Star 5.
"Three cards are 20 points! Adding the fourth card, it is impossible to adjust to 17 or 19 anyway! Mr. Hamilton actually lost!"
Standing behind Baron Lavender, holding the back of the chair tightly with his right hand, the Baron Rwanda said with an excited expression that the blood vessels on the back of his hand seemed to be bursting.
There was an uproar in the crowd, mostly voices of regret. Now it seems that Xia De must lose before he asks for the fourth card. After all, it is impossible to get 17 and 19 with 20 points in the first three cards. And he continued to ask for three cards, because as long as he didn't open the card, he would have no total points, and he would not trigger the rules of Star 2 [Human Organ·Heart], no need to add two, and no card bust.
Miss Werther let out a long breath, with a bright smile on her face.
Xia De looked at the scattered cards on the table and shook his head slightly, looking at the last fourth card, he was not completely disappointed:
"No, in fact, I still have a chance of winning, a very small possibility."
"What?"
Although Xia De's voice was not loud, the people who were discussing this poker game could still hear it:
"This is impossible."
The Rwandan Baron shook his head:
"You have missed 17 points and 19 points. And although there are cards in your deck that adjust the points, even if it is an adjustment, it will be added at 20 points. There is no single card that can change this."
"My fourth card hasn't been opened yet, so there's still hope."
Xia De stretched out his hand to the fourth card. Under the bright grape trellis, everyone subconsciously stopped talking, and looked at Xia De's hand, as if Xia De could really rewrite the basic rules of the Rhodes card.
"We have to trust our Rhodes deck."
He said softly, which made people respect him even more. Rhodes players believe in their luck and cherish their decks. This is the real poker player.
Taking a deep breath, he was about to reveal the last card, but suddenly withdrew his hand.
Xia De turned to look at Tifa, said with a smile:
"Tifa, come and help me draw the cards."
Although the black-haired maid lady was a little surprised, she still nodded, and Xia De explained to the referee, Mr. Justin:
"This is my lucky lady."
The referee nodded and allowed this approach.
So Tifa held Mia with one hand, and then opened the last card:
[Carson Rick Horror Stories·The Headless Horseman Jack], suit: star 1.
"Oh, what a pity, blackjack. Add 2 to the odd number, and the 23 is busted! It's blackjack again, but I still lost. It's wonderful, what a pity."
Baron Lavender said very regretfully, and then felt that his shoulders were suddenly pressed down by a huge force. Turning around, it was the Baron of Rwanda. He stared at the cards in Tifa's hand with wide eyes, his face flushed as if his blood vessels were about to explode:
"No, no!"
He seems to be unable to breathe like an asthma attack:
"Mr. Hamilton won! Look at the rules! Oh, there is such a thing! Oh God, why didn't you let me participate in this final!"
He groaned loudly, and people realized something was wrong. Shad gestured to Tifa, who read out the rules of the card in a clear voice:
"[Carson Rick Horror Story Headless Horseman Jack], suit: star 1. When drawing this card, if the opponent's first hole card is also of star suit, and the number is less than or equal to 5, you can choose to use the opponent's total The points are forcibly reduced by one."
After a brief pause, Tifa continued talking. Although the voice of the maid was very soft, almost everyone held their breath, so they could hear her words:
"Miss Werther's first card is the Star 2 [Human Organ·Heart], so the effect of Star 1 [Carson Rick Horror Stories·The Headless Horseman Jack] is triggered."
"But even if the effect is triggered, Miss Werther has 18 points, which is still better than Shade's 21 points, equal to 23 points."
Baron Lavender still didn't understand, but Viscount Soult, who was standing behind Miss Werther, blushed and said:
"Lavender ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Don't you understand?
It's the rules that affect each other, and the rare rules that affect each other! For the rule to take effect, the calculation is done first. This also means that [Carson Rick Horror Stories·The Headless Horseman Jack] is calculated first, and the total points of Ms. Witt have been changed from 19 points to 18 points, which does not meet the conditions for Star 2 [Human Organ·Heart] to take effect, that is The total number of points of one's own card holder is an odd number! "
"What?"
Baron Lavender's eyes widened, he stood up at once, bent down to look at the stone table covered with cards of various colors under the gas lamp. No one blamed him for being rude, because everyone was so excited:
"That is to say, because of the rules, the calculation is done first, and [Human Organ·Heart] cannot take effect. Shade's card does not need to be forced to add 2, and his points are still 21 points."
"And I have 18 points."
The sorceress of the Truth Society said softly. Although she lost, she still had a reserved smile on her face, just like a real noble lady:
"Really, it's very interesting."
