"Let's bet bigger. Flawed sins cannot be used as chips. Each time the minimum bet is 1 moment of ordinary sins. Each time a card is drawn, a bet must be raised. The winner takes all, and the loser loses the chips."
This also means that neither winning too much nor losing too much will end well.
After saying that, the old man touched the table with his palm, and a set of Rhodes cards appeared on the table. Mr. Shade and Mr. Bernhardt also took out their respective playing cards. Seeing that Sister Devlin was not prepared, Shade took out his own cards.
The spare cards slid from the table to the other party, and the nun thanked her softly.
"The most common rule is that you can add the drawn cards back to the deck after each round. I admit that those 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, then took out a small rusty black iron statue from the bottom of the table and placed it on the table.
The aura representing blasphemy almost forced the three of them to look away immediately. Even Shade was unwilling to look directly at the statue for a long time. This was the statue of the evil god. There was no doubt that the statue of the evil god. The statue depicted
Image of an obese man clenching his fists and raising his arms.
"My bottom line is that this statue of the old god, the spreader of misfortune [Father of Sleep], contains the three treasures [Sloth]. This great man is in charge of sleep, laziness, and laziness.
The power of misfortune and poverty. If any of you earn this 3-moment treasure [laziness], it can be considered as 30-moment perfect sin.”
He pushed the statue of the evil god slightly forward:
"This building contains too many sins, but treasure-level sins cannot be accommodated by ordinary flesh. The statue of the old god is the best container. May the sin gods bless me. I think the game will be very good.
interesting."
With that said, he drew his first card.
Herr Armand Bernhard also immediately drew the cards:
"My ante bet is an ordinary [Bloodlust] at 1 moment, and I will stop trading."
He didn't even look at the contents of his trump card, which meant that he gave up on this round. After all, the vampire only wanted a perfect level of sin. If he won this round, it would be a bad thing for him.
Sister Devlin hesitated:
"The ante bet is normal [Greed] for 1 tick."
She did not suspend trading.
Shade considered that losing the card game was also a good opportunity to reduce his sins, so he drew cards and bet:
"1.1 moments of perfect [laziness]."
He was taking out the sins he was forced to obtain in the [Sin Mansion].
He took a look at his trump card, which was Flower 6, a common card.
"Then let's start the second round. This is the holy emblem pendant of the old god [Sleeping Father], which contains the treasure of one moment, [Laziness]."
The owner of the mansion took out another black iron pendant and put it on the table, then drew the second card.
Shade looked at Sister Devlin, who shook her head slightly at him:
"One moment of ordinary [laziness], suspension."
Sister Devlin also gave up this game. It was too risky to continue, and she couldn't bear the 4-moment treasure [Lazy].
"Your betting method is unfair to us."
Shade said, but the dying old man just held his second card. According to the rules, in fact, everyone opened the cards together in each round, so he did not immediately show the content of the second card to Shade.
Shade also drew a second card:
"Raise 0.1 tick perfect [Lazy]."
This takes out all the [Laziness] obtained here, and Shade's second card is [Legend of the Brave: Bard Fletcher] with flower 9. Because the previous card is the suit of an even-numbered flower.
, therefore in compliance with the special card rules, 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 Bernhardt know who he really was, it was better than losing the game. After all, Shade also knew Bernhardt.
's true identity.
"My second card is Moon 2 [Steam Mechanical Ship·Roaring Blue Lyonnais]."
The owner of the mansion showed the cards to Shade, and when he grinned, he showed his burnt-yellow teeth:
"Rule, when [Steam Mechanical Ship·Roaring Blue Lyon] and [Steam Mechanical Ship·Silent Red Yorker] are drawn consecutively, the default points for this round are 21 points."
Then, he revealed his trump card and showed it to Shade:
"Look, my trump 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 Shade's mouth trembled. He didn't remember that the other party had shuffled the cards before playing. And even if he had shuffled the cards, he was quite sure that the other party had definitely cheated.
【Why not good luck?】
"She" asked with a smile in Shade's ear.
"Looking at the other person's expression, it looks like he is deliberately irritating me."
Shade was indeed a little angry, but then he realized that the power of the mansion was affecting him, making him even more irrational:
"Well, since he plays cards like this, don't blame me."
【Do you want to give the opponent another card? 】
she asked with a smile.
"No, it's too low-end."
Shade also revealed all two of his cards:
"The first flower is 6, the second flower is 9, the total is 15 points. Continue to raise, 1 tick ordinary [Lie]."
He took off his mask, and Mr. Bernhardt looked at him in surprise, wondering how this man could play cards and suddenly reveal his identity.
"The third card."
Shade 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, [Origin·Balance]."
This is to use his control over the [All Things Impermanence Card] to directly draw the cards he wants. Currently, Shade can only do this to [Origin·Balance], [Origin·Darkness] and [Kasenlik Southern Folklore·Moondance Festival]
Do.
He is a very fair person, so even among the "big city players", he does not use this ability. But since the other party is now playing tricks first, Shade does not intend to play cards seriously with the other party.
Mr. Bernhardt looked at the cards on the table and his eyes widened. As someone who carries Rhodes cards with him, he certainly knows the [Origin] series, and he also knows who should have this [Origin·Balance]:
"Who are you."
"We'll talk about the identity later. Look, I'm at 22, and the card is busted. But the rule of [Origin·Balance] is that after the card is busted, all cards are discarded and the cards are drawn again."
Shade threw away the three cards in his hand:
"Add 1 tick to normal [Lie]."
His eyes were fixed on the old man at the other end of the long table, and his hand covered his deck again:
"Maybe you will think that I am cheating, but I have actually been blessed by the God of the Old Days [the Noisy Black Hunter], yes, that God of Gamblers.
Therefore, every time I draw a card, it is destined."
He pulled out a new trump card with his hand, but instead of hiding it, he raised it directly and covered his left eye. His right eye was slightly narrowed, with anger and determination in his eyes:
"Star 11 [Origin·Darkness], when this card is drawn, if this card is the first dark card, it will win directly regardless of any rules and conditions. The winning priority of this card is higher than any other rules, and the card will be drawn again
Finally, this is indeed the first hidden card. Sorry, this time, I won."
Mr. Bernhardt's face showed an expression of wanting to laugh but trying to hold it back. Even Sister Devlin smiled slightly at Shade.
The owner of the mansion was obviously stunned, and after a long time he softly praised:
"A good combination, a really good combination. So, the rules of Rhodes can actually 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 it, yes, you have won the 4-moment treasure [Laziness], and you can leave with the golden pearl earrings. But what you have won is only the most [Laziness] itself. The statue of God and the holy symbol as the container are still
It belongs to the mansion. Therefore, you need to absorb your sins before you can leave."
The human figurine standing behind him moved and brought the statue and the holy symbol to Shade's hand.
The approach of the evil god's power even made Mr. Bernhard a little uncomfortable. Shade didn't want to harm other people because of your own reasons, so after getting permission, he changed his seat to the long table facing the owner of the mansion.
One end.
Contact with the statue of the evil god is never something that a wise man should do. The element of blasphemy and the power of the evil god are enough to tempt any strong mind to go crazy.
When Shad was still a level 1 warlock, he just glanced at the statue of [Vampire Duke Loair] and acquired the [Echo of Blood] spell in the madness of blood. And absorbed the sin contained in the statue,
Obviously, it is more in-depth contact with the power of the evil god than just taking a glance.
He hesitated for a moment, instead of taking the risk to directly observe the statue and holy symbol of the evil god, but looked up at the owner of the mansion on the other side of the table:
"Maybe, before the next game starts, each of us should reshuffle the cards."
"Do you still want to keep 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 card game more fairly."
As he said that, he divided his deck into two parts and gave them to Mr. Bernhardt and Sister Devlin. Of course, the deck given to Sister Devlin contained 9 more special cards. Bain
Mr. Hart only has 3.
The two of them thanked Shade 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.
"Please remember the advice I gave you when you met me with that cat as warm as the sun."
The nun suddenly said. Shade was confused for a moment, then nodded, preparing to absorb the sins in the evil god statue and the holy symbol.
