The years when I was a nobleman in the world of Terra

After nine hands.

As the banker, Charlotte smiled and took the two playing cards handed to him by the servants, one was the Ace of Hearts and the other was the 3 of Spades. According to the rules of the game, he put his two playing cards directly Flipping over, it was presented in front of Del without reservation.

Looking at the two playing cards in front of Charlotte, Del thought to himself.

What Charlotte showed him just now, the game rules of the poker game called "Blackjack", there is nothing particularly difficult to understand. But at the same time, it must not exceed 21 points.

The poker cards whose faces are 2-9 keep the original points, the cards whose faces are J, K, and Q are all recorded as ten points, and the cards whose faces are A can be 1 point or [-] points.

Recalling that he had just read the rules of the game, Del knew that Charlotte, who is the banker, now has either four points or 14 points, and whether it is the former or the latter depends entirely on Charlotte herself.

But regardless of the former or the latter, according to the rules of the "21-point" game, Charlotte, whose points of the first two poker cards add up to less than 17 points, must take one more poker card as her hole card.

And when Charlotte got the third poker card that didn't need to be opened actively, he slightly opened a corner and took a look, and a faint smile appeared on his face.Charlotte didn't say anything, and there was no expression of ecstasy on his face. He just silently put the three poker cards on the table in front of him.

"It's up to you, Del."

"I, I know."

Del swallowed.Obviously, when he read the game description, he still felt nothing, and even thought that this kind of boring game would not be liked by anyone, but when he actually played and participated in it, Del found that his whole emotions were mobilized.

There was a kind of tension in his heart that even he himself felt a little inexplicable, his eyes were red, and even his body began to tremble a little.

Is it because if you lose this card, you will lose [-] Longmen coins accordingly?

Five thousand Longmen coins is indeed not a small amount, and for the commoners of Casimir, it is also an income that may not be able to earn for several years.But for a master like Del who is not short of money, sometimes five thousand Longmen coins are not enough for him to spend a day, so logically speaking, he shouldn't feel so nervous about it.

So there is actually only one reason that really made Del feel his heart hang up completely - he wants to turn the game over and bet his dignity as a game master. After losing nine cards in a row, he must win this time!

Be calm, you must be calm, the more you want to win the game, the more you need to think calmly.

Del took a deep breath, and then slowly lifted the corners of the two playing cards dealt to him.

Seeing an 8 of spades and a 10 of hearts, which is a full 18 points, Del couldn't help grinning, the smile on his face could not be concealed at all.

His card is 18 points, while the card on Charlotte's table is only 14 points, which means that unless Charlotte's last unopened poker card must be "5, 6, 7" these three cards One of them, otherwise he would be the winner.

一副完整的扑克牌除去大小王以后还有52张牌，拥有“5、6、7”这三个数字的扑克牌有12张，忽略掉夏洛手上和自己手上的扑克牌进行大致的计算，夏洛能够拿到“5、6、7”这三种牌面的扑克牌的可能性大概就是20.00%多一点点。

In other words, the probability that he can win is around 80.00%.

80.00% chance of winning is logically quite high, so Del actually knows that the most suitable way for him right now is to do nothing, stop asking for poker cards from the dealer, and then go Bet on that 80.00% chance of winning.

But...do you really want to do this?

Recalling the nine cards he lost one after another just now, and looking at the faint, confident smile on Charlotte's face, Del's throat couldn't help rolling up and down.

"80.00% chance of winning is not low."

"But isn't the probability of 20.00% failure also not low?"

The two people in his head were talking completely different things, and it made Del feel like his head was going to explode.

What followed was a wordless silence. Del held the poker cards in his hand and remained silent for about a minute, but Charlotte didn't intend to urge him.

Finally, after wiping the sweat from his forehead, Del took a deep breath. Driven by a strong desire to make a comeback, he spoke tremblingly.

"Give me another card."

Trembling, he took the playing cards handed over by the dealer, and Del almost crushed the playing cards in his hands.

Del didn't dare to look at what poker cards he got, but he also knew that he had already got all the cards in his hand, and he had no other choice but to uncover them.

"God bless...God bless...God bless!"

Del, who has never had any faith, made the only prayer in his life, but——

"Diamond four."

"puff--!"

Del showed an extremely beautiful expression, and then all thoughts were lost.

"Why is it 22 o'clock, my mother, God, are you kidding me!"

Del's mood at this moment, Charlotte, is completely understandable. After all, Charlotte, who played card-drawing mobile games in her previous life, had a dark face, but she has experienced it many times in person. The last round before the guarantee just happened to be shipped. taste.

But understanding is understanding, of course he will not give up the money he won, but when Charlotte just reached out to the Longmen coins on the table...

"Brother Charlotte, give me another chance."

Del held Charlotte's hand.

"Just do it again, I will definitely not lose this time."

"Are you still coming?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

"Do you have any money with you?"

"I don't have it anymore, but I still have the room. Brother Charlotte, wait here for a while. I'll go back to the room to get the money now."

"Cough-cough-"

Del's movement of standing up from the chair and Earl De Vos's light cough appeared almost simultaneously.

"It hurts, hurts, dad, save me face, don't pull my ears!"

"You still know that you want to save face, and my face has been lost by you, a prodigal son."

Earl Devos let go of his hand angrily.

"Go out, I have something to talk to Brother Charlotte."

"But I still want to play a few more cards with Charlotte..."

"Um?!"

"I'm going out right now!"

Even in a different world, the principle that your father is still your father is also applicable. After being glared at by Earl De Vos, Del dared not say any more unnecessary nonsense.

"W, Linguang, you two should go out first."

It seemed that Earl De Vos had some personal issues and wanted to talk to him, so Charlotte said something to the two girls beside and behind him.

"No, people want to stay here too."

But obviously, w is not the kind of person who will definitely listen to what Charlotte says.

"Why did you kick me out? Did I make Darling unhappy?"

"You didn't upset me."

Charlotte sighed.

"I just want to have some private space with Count Devos."

"private space?"

W's expression suddenly became a little weird.

"Could it be that Darling wants to take all men and women?"

Charlotte, who couldn't bear it any longer, raised her hand, aiming to knock W's head, but before his fist was in place, W already took Linguang's arm with a complicated expression, and walked over. On the door of the living room.

"Just kidding."

W smiled and closed the door of the living room.

"Darling, you and Earl Devos should have a good chat."

"Brother Charlotte, your wife's character is indeed very lively."

"Lively... probably too lively."

Charlotte said weakly.

"Earl Devos, please don't mind, she will always say some strange things."

"It's okay, I think it's fine."

Earl De Vos waved his hand lightly.

"And I can also see that the relationship between you and your wife, Brother Charlotte, is indeed very good."

Earl of De Vos, you really misjudged, W's favorability with him has not broken [-] so far, and he is not even considered a friend.

"It's okay, it's okay."

After a perfunctory sentence, Charlotte didn't want to waste too much time on this kind of question.

"Again, Earl De Vos, you have some personal things, do you want to tell me?"

"Well, indeed."

After taking a sip of tea lightly, Earl Devos nodded.

"But before that, I want to see the last poker card you haven't opened, brother Charlotte."

"Earl De Vos, it was indeed discovered by you."

Charlotte smiled and said, while talking, he revealed his last hole card, which was a diamond nine.

Ace of hearts, 3 of spades, and nine of diamonds are either 13 points or 22 points, which means that as long as Del does not want the last card, he is the winner of the game, but the final outcome is Charlotte won, because he was the last player to turn.

"I knew that was the case."

Count Devos had a knowing expression on his face.

"Brother Charlotte, it's really easy to calculate."

"It's really nothing, it's just a little trick that can't be put on the stage."

"Humility is a good thing, but being too modest can come across as hypocritical."

Count De Vos interrupted Charlotte.

"Also, Brother Charlotte, have you considered a question? At this juncture, if you choose to cooperate with me, can I understand that you have already made your own choice?"

Chapter 18 No.18 Three Grottoes of the Cunning Rabbit

With a cigarette in his mouth and a bottle of white wine in his hand, Charlotte was sitting on the edge of the windowsill with one hand resting on his chin, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, his thoughts were a little lost.

Charlotte, who was a surgeon in her previous life, knows that neither cigarettes nor alcohol are good for the human body, and she will try to avoid pollution as much as possible on weekdays.But only on this night, he felt that he needed cigarettes and alcohol to help him digest the somewhat shocking information he received from Earl De Vos.

……

"Brother Charlotte, do you know what it means to cooperate with me at this time?"

"not sure."

"Then I'll just say it straight away. I personally and the entire DeVos family have decided to help the eldest prince and aspire to the pinnacle throne."

Although the key words were replaced in Earl Devos' words, Charlotte felt that she had no reason to misunderstand.The eldest prince must be the eldest son of Grand Duke Casimir. The pinnacle throne that the eldest prince wants to aspire to, what else is it other than the high throne.It can't be that Casimir has released a live broadcast room, and then the prince wants to reward him to be the first on the list.

"I see what you mean."

Charlotte exhaled.

"But Earl De Vos, I'm just a little viscount."

"Yes, Brother Charlotte, you are indeed just a little Viscount. Of course I know this. For some reasons that I cannot explain to you yet, the three princes are secretly accumulating their own strength. But even so, you won't need the help of a little viscount like you, and even you, brother Charlotte, can't help your highnesses."

When Earl De Vos said this, he didn't show any contemptuous expression, he was just stating a fact calmly.

"But Brother Charlotte, you can't, it doesn't mean that others can't, but there are things that the three princes all want to have by your side."

"Earl Devos, do you mean Linguang?"

Charlotte blurted out, because the only person he could think of around him who could be admired by the princes and highnesses was Linguang who used to be the knight of Yao.

"Brother Charlotte, seriously, it would be great if you were my son."

Earl De Vos said with a bit of hatred for iron and steel.

"Obviously you are not much older than Del, why is there such a big gap between the two of you?"
