Chapter 220 Lord's Card Betting

"Since the blood money is used, it can be regarded as The price is paid, so why don't divination immediately after activation, but keep it in the hand?"

"Blood money also has an unimportant feature, each blood money has the function of sensing other blood money. When I removed the last blood money from my containment, it sensed that there was another blood money in Tobeysk. But the perception was very vague, and when activated, the perception increased."

She asked Shade and Miss Beas to try to touch the gold coin without gloves. Immediately, the throbbing sensation of blood money was transmitted from the fingers to the brain.

"Yes, I have already found out that the holder of the blood money is at the banquet. It was I who invited Miss Beas to the banquet, and originally planned to find the blood money with her, Immediately do a divination on her, didn't expect I was just about to tell her about it when you showed up."

Miss Anat looked towards Shade:
"Look, detective. , don't worry about me."

"You'll make people more worried."

Miss Beas said, she didn't know what to say, sitting beside her. The woman did such a crazy act for her.

"The blood money was 5 pieces in total, and in the hands of Cobble Baron who attended the banquet, Baron seemed to think that the old coins were his lucky ones. The dance of this dinner started after 9 o'clock, I The plan is to take advantage of the dance, ask him to meet alone, and then propose that I am a coin collector and want to trade the few old gold pounds on him. If he refuses, he can only use other methods."

Other methods would probably not be legal.

“What is the market value of those five old gold pounds?”

Shade asked.

"Because it is not clear which era of gold pounds the five blood money became, it is difficult to estimate the market value, but the highest value of a single piece will not exceed one 5 pounds. They will not It becomes too expensive an antique, otherwise it is easy to not be traded as currency."

Blood money will only trigger the feature when it is traded as currency. And if it is traded as antiques, then it is just ordinary antiques.

Talking, the short brown-haired fortune-teller stood up:
"I'm going to implement the plan, you are here to wait for me. After you buy it, you will perform the fortune-telling immediately"

"Don't bother, sit down, Miss Annette."

Shade extend the hand:
"Give me the pounds you want to buy blood money, you wait here for me for a while, I'll go Get those antiques here."

"You know that Baron?"

Miss Annette asked, then handed Shade the prepared note, which she had prepared for £30 Prevent the other party from raising prices.

"Of course I do, because of that."

He waved his Rhodes card at the two ladies.

It had been a full hour from leaving the game to returning, but the game was still going on in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall on the second floor.

Leaving was Lavender Baron and Cobble Baron, and when they came back, Lavender Baron was still sitting there, but the opponent became Rwanda Baron, the two Barons had a long-standing feud, who Not willing to admit defeat.

Cobble Baron stood behind Lavender Baron to watch, and Shade invited Baron to speak.

Baron did not refuse, and went with Shade to a position away from the crowd in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking towards the city from the second floor, those yellow lights represent the power of this era.

Confirming that no one was around, Shade twitched Cobble Baron's fingers:

"Baron, I heard you've got a few good old gold pounds recently? Interested in selling?"

Baron is in the antiques business itself, and the news of those coins is not hidden, so Shade's transaction request is not abrupt:

"You also You know, the shooting not long ago."

The young detective, sorry, pointed to his chest:

"So I've been looking for some coins that can bring luck recently. Keep it with you or you will always feel like you'll be shot again. I have a friend who is a psychiatrist and he said what trauma repercussions are, sorry, but I don't remember the term."

Cobb Baron showed an understanding smile, and this was the reason why this banquet was held:
"This is my lucky coin, but since you offered to buy it, I think I can reluctantly part with it. Mr. Hamilton, 5 Do you want all of them?"

"Of course." Shadep>, but Baron didn't immediately agree, and suggested:
"However, Allow me to change the trading method, the trading of gold pounds is too vulgar. I wonder if you are interested in getting a chance to get these antique coins for free."

"What do you mean?"

Shade hesitantly said, some worried that the other party actually didn't want to sell those gold pounds.

"If you want these five coins, then play Rhodes with me, you win, and the coins are yours."

He took a pin from his pocket. The tight little cloth bag shook, and Shade narrowed his eyes.

"If you lose, I'll give you 50 pounds, and these five coins will also be yours, but you must give me your [Northern City, Lengshuigang City]."

[Northern City·Lengshuigang City] As a Rhodes card with special rules, its auction price is about 50 to 70 pounds. And the price of 50 pounds plus five old gold pounds is almost the same. That is to say, even if he loses, Shade will not lose anything.

But the problem is that although the price of the special Rhodes card [Northern City, Lengshuigang City] can be estimated with reference to the Rhodes card trading market, in fact, it is impossible to buy this kind of card. Old gold pounds are not very precious.

In other words, the deal was not about Shade wanting to buy the five coins, but Cobble Baron wanting to gamble on Shade's Rhodes.

"If you win, you will save Miss Annat a lot of money, and if you lose, the equivalent to buy those blood money at a fair price. It doesn't seem to be a loss, so why refuse it?"

Shade thinks to himself, then gives Baron a defiant smile:
"Sure, why not have an exciting game of Rhodes?"

Shade's return draws crowds , and when he and Cobble Baron announced that they were going to play Rhodes, people were even more excited. Compared to gambling, gambling with special rules cards is the most attractive.

"I noticed that the dance is about to start, so it doesn't need to be too complicated. Basic rules, whoever wins three times first wins. Or whoever draws the deck first loses."

Shade doesn't want to waste time here.

He is still adhering to the good habit of not gambling, but this time it is to save Cobble Baron. Sooner or later, the blood money left by his side will have an accident. Captain Radees is a good example.

"Detective, are you really willing to bet a card? Those antique coins are actually worthless."

As Shade's friend, Lavender Baron whispered to him, But Shade shook the head:

"Look, I got the title of Knight today. How can I not have an exciting Rhodes card on such a commemorative day?"

Everyone who heard his words smiled, which was very much to the appetite of the gentlemen gathered around at this time.

"I'm looking forward to your luck."

Cobble Baron said, rubbing his hands, he is also red light across the whole face, looking forward to this game. For him, the worst outcome is to lose those antique coins, which is also a game that will never suffer for him.

People came around expectantly, and Shade, who had already sat down, raised his head and looked towards Lavender Baron and Rwanda Baron:

"Please two people to check the deck and how the cards are dealt. Like?"

"Of course there is no problem."

The people around were excited, and every time a special card changed hands, everyone could discuss it as a topic of conversation. long time.

"Then I'll do the notary and make sure the game is in the spirit of fairness."

An elderly Old Mister said in the crowd, next to Shade Introduce, this is Viscount Cronenberg, who is also a well-known local player of Rhodes.

"It's twenty minutes until nine o'clock, it looks like we're going to move faster."

Shade handed the deck to Lavender Baron, who walked away excitedly At the table, people gathered slightly towards the middle, lest they miss the wonderful picture.

In this corner of the ballroom on the second floor, the atmosphere becomes more and more lively. The unique culture has created a special Rhodes hobby group, and this game of poker played by worthy players is generally considered a "high game" and is most suitable for such a high-end banquet.

No one wasted any time, the game officially started, and the two Barons dealt hole cards for both sides, but neither of them looked at the cards immediately, but signaled to continue dealing the cards.

Cobble Baron's second card was a Sun 7, so he flipped his hole card and took a look. And Shade's second card was also a Sun 7, so he also checked his hole card.

"Looks like I'm still lucky."

Baron opened his trump card, Moon 13, totaling 20 points. He touched the chin and raised his head at Shade:

"Mr. Hamilton, how about you?"

"Keep asking for cards."

Shade said , followed by a 6 of suits. He shook his head regretfully and turned his cards over, 9+7+6, the points burst.

The onlookers chatted in a low voice, and Cobble Baron showed a smug smile.

In the second round that followed, the two still didn't look at their hole cards, but Shade's second card was directly the queen. Baron continued to ask for cards with a serious expression, and wanted to bet on blackjack. And then, unsurprisingly, it blew up.

It's one-to-one, Shade's mind is very peaceful, he doesn't put too much passion into this kind of game. But the opposite Cobble Baron is already a little nervous, but it is related to whether he can get a special card.

In the third round, Baron first checked his hole cards before deciding to continue to ask for cards, and he ended up on the third card with 19 points.

And Shade didn't stop until the fourth card. The first three cards were Sun 1, Sun 4, and Sun 5. After the fourth card was dealt by Lavender Baron, it was actually Sun 10. , which caused people to exclaim.

Shade's Sun 10 is [primordial Steam Engine Mark 9]. When this card is drawn, if you already have at least two cards in your hand, and all the cards are of the sun suit, you can use this card. The numbers of the cards are adjusted within 9 and 10.

"Oh, Mr. Hamilton, you've got really good luck."

Even the opponent, Cobble Baron, couldn't help but be surprised, but Shade thought it was Bad Luck:

"I can win this round with or without special cards. The effects of special cards are wasted here, and my luck is wasted in nothing."

" Mr. Hamilton, you also believe in the conservation of luck?"

The middle-aged officer in military uniform in the crowd asked, this is a friend of Captain Ladds, and Shade has just met.

"Of course I don't believe it, but it's just a pity that I didn't show this card at 22."

He was joking, which won people's approval laughter.
