Whispering Poems

Chapter 708 Unjust Poker Game
"We gamble bigger. Flawed crimes can't be used as chips. The minimum bet is 1 tick. Ordinary crimes must be raised every time a card is drawn. The winner takes all, and the loser loses the betting chips."

This also means that winning too much and losing too much will not end well.

After finishing speaking, the old man touched the table with his palm, and a set of Rhodes cards appeared on the table.Shad and Mr. Bernhardt also took out their respective cards. Seeing that Sister Devlin was not prepared, Shad took out his spare cards and slid them from the table to the other side. The nun thanked him softly.

"The most common rule is that the drawn cards can be added to the deck after each round. I admit that the cards with special rules will make the game more interesting. But here, there are also special cards left by outsiders in the past. "

The old man said, and then fished out a small rusty black iron statue from the bottom of the table and put it on the table.

The aura of blasphemy almost forced the three of them to look away immediately.Even Shad didn't want to look directly at the statue for a long time. This is the statue of the evil god, there is no doubt that the statue of the evil god. The statue depicts the image of a fat man with his fists and arms raised high.

"My bottom note, in the statue of the old god-the misfortune communicator [Father of Sleep], there is a treasure of 3 moments [laziness]. This great person is in charge of sleep, sloth, laziness, The power of misfortune and poverty. If any of you win this 3-moment treasure [Laziness], it can be regarded as 30-moment perfect sin."

He pushed the statue of the evil god slightly forward:

"This building contains too much sin, but the treasure-level sin can't be accommodated by ordinary flesh. The statues of the old gods are the best containers. May the sin gods bless me. I think the game will be very smooth." interesting."

As he spoke, he drew his first card.

Mr. Armand Bernhardt also drew cards immediately:

"My ante bet is a normal [Slaughter], I stop the card."

He didn't even look at the content of his hole cards, which means he gave up the game.After all, all the vampires want is a perfect level of sin. If he wins this round, it will be a bad thing for him.

Sister Devlin hesitated for a moment:
"Ante bet 1 tick normal [greedy]."

She was not suspended.

Xia De considered that losing the game is also a good opportunity to eliminate sins, so he drew cards and bet:

"1.1 moments of perfect [laziness]."

He took out the sins he was forced to obtain in the [Sin Mansion].

He took a look at his hole cards, it was 6 of flowers, a common card.

"Then start the second round. This is the holy emblem pendant of the old god [Slumbering Father], and it contains the treasure of [Laziness] for a moment."

The owner of the mansion took out another black iron pendant and put it on the table, then drew a second card.

Xia De looked at Sister Devlin, and the nun shook her head slightly at him:

"For 1 tick of normal [Laziness], the card is suspended."

Sister Devlin also gave up this round, it was too risky to continue, and she couldn't bear the treasure of 4 ticks [Laziness].

"Your betting method is not fair to us."

Xia De said, but the dying old man just held his second card.According to the rules, in fact, every round of cards is drawn together by everyone, so he did not immediately show Shad the content of the second card.

Shad also drew a second card:

"Add 0.1 tick perfect [lazy]."

This took out all the [laziness] obtained here, and Shade's second card was the flower 9's [Legend of the Brave · Bard Fletcher].Because the previous card is the suit of an even-numbered flower, it complies with the special card rules, and the point 9 can be adjusted between 9 and 10.

He added all his special cards to the deck. Although this would let the vampire Bernhard know who he really was, it was better than losing the game.After all, Shad also knew Bernhard's true identity.

"My second card is Moon 2 [Steam Mechanical Ship Roaring Blue Lyons]."

The owner of the mansion showed the cards to Shad, and when he grinned, he showed his scorched teeth:

"Rules, when [Steam Mechanical Ship Roaring Blue Lyons] and [Steam Mechanical Ship Silent Red Yorkers] are drawn consecutively, the default score for this game is 21 points."

Then, he turned over his cards and showed Xia De:

"Look, my hole card is Sun 2, [Steam Mechanical Ship·Silent Red Yorker]."

He stacked the two cards together, folded his hands and placed them on the table:
"So, do you want to continue drawing cards?"

The corner of Xia De's mouth trembled, he didn't remember that the opponent shuffled the cards before playing.And even if the cards were shuffled, he was quite sure that the opponent definitely cheated.

【Why not luck? 】

"She" asked with a smile in Shad's ear.

"Looking at the other person's expression, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be deliberately provoking me."

Xia De was indeed a little annoyed, but then realized that the power of the mansion was affecting him, making him even more irrational:
"Well, since he plays like this, don't blame me."

[You want to give the opponent another card? 】

"She" asked with a smile.

"No, it's too low-end."

Xia De also revealed all his two cards:

"The first flower is 6, the second flower is 9, a total of 15 points. Continue to raise, 1 moment of normal [lie]."

He lifted his mask, and Mr. Bernhardt looked at him in surprise. He didn't understand how this man played cards, and suddenly blew himself up.

"The third card."

Xia De put his hand on his deck, squinted his eyes slightly to concentrate, then suddenly pulled out the top card, threw it on the table, and announced the card content:

"Flower 7, [Foundation·Balance]."

This is to use his control over [Vientiane Impermanence Card] to directly draw the desired card.At present, Shade can only do this for [Genesis·Balance], [Genesis·Darkness] and [Carson Rick Southern Folklore·Moon Dance Festival].

He's a very fair guy, so he doesn't use this ability even in "Grand City Player".But since the opponent is playing tricks first, Xia De doesn't intend to play cards seriously with the opponent.

Mr. Bernhardt stared at the cards on the table, his eyes widened.As a person who carries the Rhodes card with him, he certainly knows the [Founding] series, and he knows who should own this [Founding·Balance]:
"You are."

"I'll talk about the identity later. Look, I have 22 points, and the card is busted. But the rule of [Foundation·Balance] is that after the bust, all cards are discarded and the cards are drawn again."

Shad discarded the three cards in his hand:
"Add a normal [lie] for 1 moment."

His eyes were fixed on the old man at the other end of the long table, and his hands covered his deck again:
"Maybe you'll think I'm cheating, but I've actually been blessed by the old god [The Raging Black Hunter], yes, the God of Gamblers.

Therefore, every time I draw a card, it is destined. "

He drew out a new hole card in his hand, but instead of hiding it, he raised it up directly, covering his left eye.The right eye narrowed slightly, with anger and firmness in the eyes:
"Star 11 [Genesis·Darkness], when drawing this card, if this card is the first dark card, you will win directly regardless of any rules and conditions. The priority of winning this card is higher than any other rules, and when you draw a new card Finally, this is indeed the first hidden card. Sorry, this time, I won."

Mr. Bernhardt had an expression on his face that wanted to laugh but forcibly suppressed it. Even Sister Devlin gave Shad a faint smile.

The owner of the mansion was obviously stunned, and it took a long time before he softly praised:

"A good combination, really a good combination. It turns out that the rules of the Rhodes card can produce such a wonderful combination. I originally thought that two [Steam Mechanical Ships] would be powerful enough."

"So, do you admit that I won?"

"Of course I admit, yes, you have won the [Laziness] of 4 ticks of treasure, and you can leave with a golden pearl earring. But what you have won is only the sin of [Laziness] itself, the statue of the god and the holy emblem as the container are still It belongs to the mansion. Therefore, you need to absorb your crimes before you can leave."

The figurine standing behind him moved, and brought the statue and holy emblem to Shad's hand.

The approach of the power of the evil god even made Mr. Bernhardt a little uncomfortable.Xia De didn't want to harm others because of his own reasons, so after getting permission, he changed his seat to the end of the long table facing the owner of the mansion.

Touching the statue of the evil god has never been something a wise man should do.The elements of blasphemy and the power of evil gods are enough to lure any powerful mind to madness.

When Xia De was a ring 1 warlock, he just glanced at the statue of [Vampire Duke Rael], and obtained the spell of [Echo of Blood] in the madness of blood.Absorbing the sins contained in the idol is obviously more in-depth contact with the power of the evil god than just looking at it.

He hesitated for a moment, instead of taking the risk to directly observe the statue and holy emblem of the evil god, he looked up at the owner of the mansion on the other side of the table:

"Perhaps, each of us should reshuffle the cards before the next game begins."

"Do you still want to continue playing?"

asked the dying old man.

"Of course not, I have achieved my goal. I just hope that my two friends can participate in the game more fairly."

As he spoke, he divided his deck into two and handed them over to Mr. Bernhardt and Sister Devlin.Of course, there are more than 9 special cards in the pile for Sister Devlin, and only 3 for Mr. Bernhardt.

The two thanked Xia De softly, and then began to shuffle the cards.The owner of the mansion also knocked on the table, and the stack of Rhodes cards automatically began to be flushed.

"Remember the advice I gave you when you met me with that cat as warm as the sun."

The nun said suddenly, Xia De was puzzled for a moment, then nodded, ready to absorb the sin karma in the statue of the evil god and the holy emblem.
