Chapter 221 Another Anat
Cobble Baron was nervous in the fourth round He couldn't hide his expression. He probably thought that he had a big advantage in this game, and had great expectations for the Rhodes card. Now that Shade has won two rounds, I can't stop worrying that I'm going to lose.

In this state of mind, there will be a greater chance of losing. Even Shade understands this.

They all had their hole cards, and Baron took a quick look and looked disappointed, not looking like a king or queen.

The second card that follows, the two are Moon 9 and Moon 1. Baron, who got the Moon 9, hesitated for a while before deciding to continue to ask for cards, which made the people around him almost guess the range of points in his current hand.

Shade looks at the hole cards and directly selects the cards. The third card of both sides is even more strange, Baron is a sun 1, Shade is a suit 1.

Keball Baron hesitated again, and even the Rwandan Baron who dealt his cards couldn't help reminding:
"If you hesitate for a while, I don't need to look at your cards, just Know what your hole cards are now."

This made everyone around laugh, and Shade laughed too:

"Baron, do you want to bet your luck? ?"

"Mr. Hamilton, do you want to keep asking for cards?"

Cobble Baron instead asked.

"Of course."

Baron's mouth twitched:
"Okay, I'll continue to ask for cards."

Then a king was taken When it was sent to Baron, his eyes widened for a moment, and his mouth was tightly closed as if he couldn't breathe. Unless Shade is at 21, it's a two-to-two situation.

As the crowd whispered, Baron looked up sharply at Shade's card, which was an 8 of suits.

[Old continent Eastern Style·Teith Lake], after drawing this card, guess the number of a card that the opponent did not show. If it is correct, you can choose whether to let the opponent show the card or not. The opponent's card number is forcibly increased by one. If the opponent folds the card first, [Old Continent Eastern Style Teas Lake] has no effect.

Of course, if the opponent is the king or queen, adding one point means busting, which is also one of the basic rules.

Baron was stunned when he saw Shade's card, he knew the effect of this card. At this time, I thought of the rules in my memory, and immediately reached out to open my hole card, but the hand movement was not as fast as Shade's mouth:

"I guess it is 9 o'clock."

Shade said with no nervousness on his face. There is no penalty for guessing wrong. He now adds up to 11 points and can continue to ask for cards.

Cobble Baron stopped there, holding the corner of the card.

"I guess it's 10!"

Lavender Baron who dealt the card immediately said with a smile.

“No, 9 is more likely!” retorted another dealer, Baron of Rwanda in a curly wig.

"Hurry up, what is it?"

The crowd urged, all looking towards Cobble Baron's hand. Baron had an ugly look on his face, then forced a smile, and threw the card on the table:
"I shouldn't have hesitated just now, well, star 9."

With blood money He then threw the small bag out and slid it along the table to Shade's hand:

"I shouldn't have hesitated just now."

He repeated again.

Shade opened the bag and looked at it, satisfied nodded:

"Baron, thank you for your generosity."

"Let's play cards together sometime. "

Cobble Baron stood up regretfully:
"Although I lost, Mr. Hamilton, I found it really interesting to play with you. I can remember 20 of this matchup." Years. Hesitating will fail."

He sighed like this, and the onlookers laughed again.

After winning the bet, the dance at nine o'clock in the evening is about to start. The onlookers dispersed, and only a few people were still playing Rhodes here. Shade also took this opportunity to carry his antique Knight long sword and returned to the lounge on the second floor to find Bea who was waiting. Miss Si and Miss Annette:
"Look."

He threw the tightly tied small bag on the coffee table, and then returned the banknotes that Miss Annette had just given her.

Miss Beas opened the bag curiously, and clicked one's tongue in wonder at the gold coin without any pattern, while Miss Anat was surprised by Shade's actions:
"Return the money. What do you mean by me?"

"No money, I won by playing Rhodes."

He said with a smile slightly relaxed, because he won the card, so he was very happy Happy:
"You know, I have always had good luck playing Rhodes."

He was referring to 【Founding·Silver Moon】.

Miss Annette took the bills and asked jokingly:
"Remember what the priest said?"

"Of course you do—don't indulge in it. Lord's cards."

Shade repeated, thinking of the worried look of the priest:

"Miss Bayas, do you think I look like a gambler?"

He asked again to the young lady who was playing with those old gold pounds and wanted to see something special, and the latter gave him a look:
"Not like it."

Now Shade more at ease.

Since she got the extra five blood money, Miss Anat immediately decided to perform the so-called "accurate divination" immediately.

Since Miss Galina hasn't left yet, Shade is worried that the Great Demon with very sensitive senses will see through Miss Anat's secret, so she reminded her a little, but Miss Anat doesn't care:

p>

"My secret, only God can guess."

Shade opened his mouth and didn't ask any further, as did Miss Beas.

When Miss Anat was doing divination, she did not avoid Shade and Miss Beas. According to her, they saw the whole process and could not see any clues.

In fact, this process is very simple. First, Miss Anat holds the blood money that has been used by her. The secret of Shade is really not easy to divination, one blood money is not enough."

So he used the method of "trade with himself" to activate a blood money won by Shade playing cards, but two Blood money is still not enough.

"After all, it is the chosen one. This is the beginning of the Legendary of the Sixth Epoch. If it is so easy to predict the result, it will make me doubt it."

Shade said, Handed another one to Miss Annette. But before Miss Anat used the gold coin, Miss Bayas reached out and snatched the coin, she shook her head and said:
"Even if the blood money will be consumed immediately, causing the curse to disappear, but you have to carry so much in a short period of time. Cursing, I'm afraid it's not easy."

She put the antique gold coin in her hand, and seeing that Shade and Miss Anat were looking at her, she said sorry:

"You are helping me. Although I don't know how to divination, I also want to do my part."

Saying that, she also followed Miss Annat's practice, and shared with herself. The transaction activates blood money. After the pattern on the front and back of the gold coin appeared, the blood money was handed over to the female fortune-teller.

"No, still not enough."

With three gold coins stacked in the palm of her hand, Miss Anat looked at the [relic] under the gas light with some anxiety:
"It doesn't matter, even if six are not enough, I have other ways to pay the price."

Looking at her expression, you can tell that other ways must not be simple, and even cause harm to her.

"I'll come next."

Shade also picked up a gold coin in the small cloth bag on the table, after activating it, he thought that there would be a "cold breath into the body." ' or something like that, but actually didn't feel anything.

Luck is not bad, four blood money is finally enough.

Miss Anat took a deep breath, and then in front of Shade and Miss Beas, threw the gold coins containing the curse of the sea undead into the air.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and Shade looked up at them. Under the light of the room, his eyes clearly saw every detail of the gold coin spinning in the air.

The air became thick, and some rustling voices appeared in my ears.

As the blood money spins and rises in the air, it decays rapidly and eventually rusts completely at its highest point. When it falls, it disperses into fly ash, and the fly ash dissipates completely before falling to the ground.

Shade didn't know what Miss Beas was able to observe, but he saw a few gray light streaks across the air in the blood money turned into ashes, and gathered around Anna. The back of Miss Te's head.

He tilted his head and looked at the purple-eyed female fortune-teller. In a trance, he saw a transparent and illusory woman silhouette, leaning over and gently lying behind Miss Annette. The power of blood money was completely absorbed by her, she wrapped her hands around Miss Anat's neck, and whispered something in her ear.

Miss Bayas can't seem to see this scene, not even Miss Anat can see the person lying behind her, but Shade sees it:
"This is."

The transparent silhouette of the illusory woman is the image of Miss Annat, but she looks more mature. Her expression was a little sad, her transparent body seemed to be incomplete, and some positions were illusory and basically had no shape.

She also noticed that Shade was looking at her with a surprised look on her face, and then disappeared.

[This is her "other me". 】

"But why. Miss Anat's so-called divination that pays a price seems to be really another special ability of hers, not some kind of powerful relic. But the silhouette just now seems to be It's not a normal 'alternate me' either."

Miss Beath is reaching out to catch the blood-money ashes, while Miss Anat is tilting her head and listening to what no one else can hear words. The two of them really didn't see the silhouette that appeared just now.

"Did you see it just now?"

[I see, but I can't give you the answer. Can only tell you that her "other me" seems to be hurt and incomplete. ]

"How many injuries?"

[Can't judge, unless you make a closer contact. ]

"The doctor's other me is related to demons, and Miss Anat's other me is actually able to use the power of the relic."

Shade is still thinking, and Miss Anat has Showing a satisfied smile, it seems that there is already a result:

"The answer learned from the four blood money - to become the selected person of [Balance], the first condition is the item containing Ancient God Strength, The second condition is to have an understanding of [Balance] itself, and the third condition is ceremony, a special ceremony—"

She looked towards Miss Beas, and Miss Beas was sitting:
"Please speak."

"Pray to the Ancient God, voluntarily give one of your eyes, and gain wisdom to measure balance. Hanging upside down, in the witness of those with a special destiny, just Judge the enemy of your destiny, and use this to set the scale of your own balance, master the power of the judge, and become the true chosen one."
