Chapter 329 Aristocratic Entertainment(1/2)

At this time, Gillard knocked on the table and urged Roger: "It's your turn, play the cards quickly."

Roger looked at the table in front of him.

Baldwin just released a "collar j".

Roger spread the cards in his hand, and he thought that there were 54 cards in total, no monsters of big or small, representing the king's k, but it was already out.

Roger hesitated whether to beat out the four queens in his hand, or to tear them apart.

Under Gillard's urging, Roger decided to disassemble it. After all, the king is gone and the queen is the biggest.

He picked the "Screw Q" from the four styles of "rope", "horn", "screw" and "collar".

But Gillard immediately rang out and gathered four 10 of "blue rope", "red horn", "blue rope cover" and "red collar".

He shouted happily: "The king is gone, the queen is elopement after the knights. You can't make up four more, my four are 10 the largest."

Then he spread the card in his hand: "Shunzi, I'll win."

Roger and Baldwin threw the card in their hands and each took out 20 shillings and gave it to Gillard.

Gillard shuffled his cards and asked, "You all lost 20 shillings, are you still playing? Why don't you wait until tomorrow?"

Roger said indifferently: "This rule of 'losing up to 20 shillings a day' is stipulated in the church. I don't agree to it, continue."

But Baldwin didn't want to fight anymore, and he said, "Let's play the 'Nine-Pillars'."

Gillard threw the card and said, "Okay, then I will play the 'Nine-Pillars Play' with you. Guards, go and put the pillars and bring the balls by the way."

Roger saw a guard who brought a wooden ball that looked like a coconut-sized, not very round, and three holes were dug out to let his fingers go.

At the other end of the tent, there were guards in the form of Nine Palaces, and nine wooden bottles were placed.

Baldwin used his thumb, index finger, and ring finger to insert the hole into the hole and pinched the wooden ball.

He was facing nine wooden bottles, closed one eye and measured it, and then threw out the wooden ball against the ground.

The wooden balls bounced and rolled on the flat ground, and finally knocked down two wooden bottles.

Gillard clapped and said, "You have defeated two devils, congratulations, you have been redeemed."

Roger found it boring. He had played bowling too much in his previous life, and he couldn't be interested in this original gameplay.

He walked to Rugero and Joselin and said, "I'm the one who can play together."

Rugero said contemptuously: "We have played a lot, don't cry if you lose."

Roger sneered: "The grandson cried."

But Joselin said, "Roger, wait a moment before we finish this game."

Rugero was unwilling to do so, saying, "How can you let an earl from afar wait? This is too rude.

"We have to end this game immediately and start a new game."

Joselin was unhappy and said, "Why do you calculate the gambling money after halfway through the game?"

Rugero said: "No, cancel, start over.

"We each took out the 6 gold coins we each took out, and we took them back."

Joselin refused, saying, "We agreed to bet for 5 games, and whoever wins 3 games first will get 12 gold coins.

"I won two games in a row at first, and then you won one game. Now you want to stop me. I agree, but I don't agree to split the 12 gold coins equally."

Rugero said: "What else can you do if you don't evenly score? The bet is not over yet. Maybe I will win two consecutive games next?"

Joselin said: "But I have won two games. As long as I win another game, I will win. I think I have a big chance of winning and should get more."

Rugero said: "I also admit that you have a bigger chance of winning than me, but how much more do you want?"

Joselin couldn't say it, and he asked Roger: "How should we distribute it properly?"

Rugero said contemptuously: "Roger, don't talk nonsense. We will only accept it if we make sense."

Roger was stumped by the question of "gamblers and gambling money". He couldn't answer the problem of his high school dropout in his previous life.

He scratched his head and said, "Or why you should go on, it doesn't matter if I wait a while."

So Rugero and Joselin continued to play.

Roger ran outside the tent to put the water.

He saw guards blocking the approaching soldiers.

The guard said, "Go away, the adults are discussing the matter, why are you joining in the fun?"

The soldier said, "It's not just a matter of discussion, it's clearly a gambling money, I heard it all.

"Listen, you listen, isn't this shouting '666'?"

The guard said contemptuously: "What's your business?"

The soldier said: "The gambling table is not big or small, and I want to participate."

The guard sneered, "Are you a knight? The church stipulates that gambling is not allowed below the knights, go away."

The soldier had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Roger returned to the tent, Rugero and Joselin had already decided on the victory and were waiting for him.

So Roger hurriedly joined them.

At this time, Gillard, who was playing bowling next to him, dissuaded:

"Roger, don't play the dice-roll game. It's pure gambling. It's better to play the Nine-Pillars with us."

Roger retorted: "Didn't we bet on the game just now? You won."

Gerald continued to dissuade: "That's different, less than 20 shillings a day is allowed by the church.

"And even Jesus opposed this pure gambling."

Roger sneered, “Why do you say Jesus is against it?

“As far as I know, there is no word in the Bible that explicitly opposes gambling.

"In fact, the Bible also records a gambling that Samson, who saved the Israelites, had bet with the Philistines."

Gillard sighed: "But that gambling attracted a series of bloody crimes.

“Isn’t this just to warn people not to gamble?”

Roger picked up three dice of different materials, he said:

"Why didn't you persuade Rugero and Joseline just now? They have been playing for a long time."

Gillard said helplessly: "The two gamblers are hopeless."

"Then you think I'm helpless."

Roger blew a breath at the dice and threw it out.

He smiled and said, "alaiactaest." (Caiser's famous saying: The dice has been rolled.)

Gillard shook his head and stopped persuading him, and he continued to play nine-pillars with Baldwin.

Roger was having a great time while drinking and rolling dice again and again.

At first he won a lot of money, but gradually, he lost them all.

Roger doesn't care, he enjoys the process.

Until the end he couldn't hold on and fell drunk on the wooden table.

By the time Henk came in and helped Roger out, there were no other nobles in the tent.

Roger endured the dizziness and asked Henk: "Did I lose or win?"

Henk said: "I heard that you lost all."

Roger was startled and sweating was gone. Most of the alcohol was gone.

He said: "Is this losing all the money I lost, or is it even the money brought by the troops?"

Henke smiled honestly and said, "The money brought by the troops is in Antioch. In the hands of Muttery, he hasn't come. You can't lose even if you want to."

Roger then felt relieved. He touched his body and found that there was no coin left.

But he doesn't care if he loses all the money on him.

These are pocket money, which is used to spend money, and he doesn't feel sorry for spending all of them.

Then Roger thought about it and thought it would be better to ask some things clearly.

He called the guards and asked, "Did I write anything like IOU?"

The guard said, "You have written a note to Lord Joselin."

Sweat came out from Roger's forehead again, he said:

"I don't remember what I wrote on the note. Do you know what I wrote on the note?"

The guard said, "I don't know this, I can't read it."
