In his heart, he was horrified by the blackjack in his hand, but on the surface, he just shrugged and tried to keep his face calm. Except for Baron Rwanda, other people watching had already begun to congratulate him.
In the second round, Shade saw that the opponent's first two cards totaled 11, and the third card directly exceeded 21, so the total of the two cards in his hand was 16 and he gave up and continued to ask for cards.
The expression on the opposite side of Baron Rwanda was already wrong.
In the third round, Shade couldn't remember clearly what the opponent's card was, but when he saw that his bright card was the king, he was frightened again and almost couldn't help but check his surroundings.
Because the open card was "King", he didn't touch the hole card again. Baron Rwanda didn't have the luck to draw the king and queen, nor did he have the luck to draw 21 points, so he lost again.
In the fourth round, Shade’s bright card is the queen...
"Are you tampering with me?"
Even he couldn't help but ask about the voice in his head.
[The Ring Warlock’s ‘other self’ cannot interfere with reality.]
"But you are not the usual case."
[I am special because of you. I cannot directly interfere with reality. And even if I could, why should I interfere with the game? 】
The murmuring voice answered in his mind, still so pleasant. Shade also thought that the other party was not that boring, so he believed what the other party said, but Baron Rwanda obviously did not believe Shade.
He gasped for air, looked at the queen on the table amid the excited discussions of the people at the table, and asked for a long time to recheck Baron Lavender's deck. After checking, another person shuffled the fifth round.
The original card shuffler, Mr. Candela, who was under suspicion, was very unhappy because of this and stood sulking under the grape trellis.
"Detective, I don't care if you are lucky or otherwise, at least I won this time."
After only getting two cards, Baron Rwanda said, opening the hole card and showing the "King".
The cards that have just been used cannot be added to the game, at least not in this round. Therefore, it is impossible for Shad's deck to have a "King" and a "Queen", so unless he gets 21 points, he cannot
May win this round.
Shade's up card was Sun 13, and the revealed hole card was Flower 13. People immediately exclaimed in excitement, not because the young detective finally lost, but because the Flower 13 in Baron Lavender's deck was
Special rules card [Northern City Artek City].
According to the rules, Shade can roll a dice, and once the dice number reaches 20 points, he can draw a new card. In the current state, if it is not 20 points, he will indeed lose this round.
Of course, Shade would not play this kind of game with the twenty-sided dice of destiny he held, the [Relic]. He twisted the one used by Baron Rwanda just now. This was his first time coming into contact with ivory products.
The people around him immediately held their breath. Shade didn't understand their excitement. After all, even if the dice number was not 20, he still led the third round four to one.
With a slight toss, the white ivory dice was spinning on the stone table. People stretched their necks in unison. When the number 20 stopped upward, Shade was really worried that Baron Lavender on his left would be too excited.
And a heart attack occurred.
"This is a game we'll be talking about until the end of the year."
Sir Lavender, who had a beautiful mustache, trembled and said:
"After I got this card, I never rolled 20 once."
Shade shrugged and did not question the opponent's bad luck. He took his next card and already knew the result in his heart without having to look at it:
"If this card was the number 8 of any suit, I would have collected 21 points to win, but this kind of luck is definitely not right."
With the dim light of the candle on the candlestick on the stone table, I tilted my head and took a look from below. I hesitated and observed the expression of my opponent, Baron Rwanda, to make sure that the opponent would not have a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and then turned the Sun 8 over.
Maybe this game can be talked about by the Rhodes players watching on the scene until next year.
"You really didn't interfere in the game?"
He asked in a low voice again, and then it seemed as if a woman was whispering in his ear. This phenomenon was very strange, because there was obviously no such space behind him:
【Even if I have such ability, why should I do such boring things?】
"But the current situation is obviously not normal!"
While he accepted people's congratulations with a smile, he thought in his mind that all ring magicians are probably proficient in such double-tasking.
[You can think about it, what is the reason that may cause such abnormal luck? 】
Shade got the answer almost immediately. It was too obvious. He had not experienced much when he came to this world:
"The twenty-sided dice of fate? The 20 points that are thrown will definitely lead to good things? But why is the Rhodes card luck getting better? What is the connection? Moreover, the meaning of the dice must be clearly shown in front of me,
This is just speculation right now."
Shade's victory also meant that Baron Lavender won two of the three games. Although he did not win the first game, he did win the Rhodes card.
Although Baron Rwanda was very angry with Shade's last 8 Sun, he graciously followed the agreement and gave Shade the Rhodes card [Ancient Fairy Tale·Match Girl] with special rules and a special card face.
Gave 20 pounds in cash to Sir Solal.
This baron actually brought so much cash to the open-air banquet.
Although Baron Rwanda lost, he had no negative opinion of Shade. On the contrary, he shook hands with Shade enthusiastically and invited him to play Rhodes together some time. Of course, Shade agreed perfunctorily.
"I spent a lot of effort to win this card."
While the Baron handed the match girl to Shade, he glanced at Baron Lavender. Baron Lavender was the previous owner of the playing cards, and Baron Rwanda was obviously deliberately trying to piss him off.
"You must keep it well, and I hope to see it in your hands next time we play cards together. Detective Hamilton, if you don't want to keep this card and want to sell it, you must contact me first. I
Even if I borrow money, I will definitely buy it... Of course, Rhodes card enthusiasts like us cannot sell special cards at will."
As he spoke, he glanced at Baron Lavender, obviously warning him that once he took this card from Shade, his reputation might be in jeopardy.
The mustachioed Baron, who was receiving congratulations from his friends under the grape trellis, raised his head slightly:
"Of course, Shade, you must take good care of this card."
His relationship with Shade probably isn't good enough to call him by name yet, and this sentence means that Shade will temporarily serve as the card keeper for a period of time.
"Of course, I will take good care of it."
Shade put the cards in his notebook and put the notebook back into his coat pocket.
Of course, Baron Lavender would not talk to Shade about [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl] at the banquet, but he did want to invite Shade to spend the rest of the banquet together after this game.
Unfortunately, Shade was still thinking about Dr. Schneider, so he could only politely refuse the Baron and his friends. After leaving the grape trellis, while thinking about his inexplicable good luck, he walked along the road that the doctor had just left.
