Chapter 556 Gambling
"Shut up!" Kunstein glared at the traveling merchant, and then said to the other people at the card table, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the cabin and walked towards his room. Others at the card table were sorting out their gains today and discussing what good things Kunstein could come up with.
Although most of the passengers on the ship met for the first time, they already had some understanding of each other after the card game just now. Through the conversation, they learned that Kunstein was the son of Belin Cameron, the great collector of the Kingdom of England.
Heir to the inheritance, so Kunstein must have something good collected by this great collector.
After returning to the cabin, Kunstein walked to the safe in the room, quickly fiddled with the dial, entered the password, inserted the key, and opened the safe.
The safe provided on the ship was not very big and was only suitable for storing some small items. Kunstein's safe contained six or seven small cloth bags of different sizes. He picked up one of the small cloth bags and opened the opening to take a look.
There were more than a dozen rough gemstones that had only been preliminary cut inside the bag. Each one was about the same size as the nail of your thumb. Although the price of each one was not enough for an ordinary family to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime, at least it was
It allows them to live a prosperous life for a period of time.
Kunstein closed the bag, put it in his pocket, and was about to close the safe door, but he suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened a small drawer in the safe and took out a
The surface of the stone box was covered with patterns. I then opened the box and took a look.
I saw a jade-like tube lying in the box, which was about the size of a little finger. But judging from the object itself, it was not particularly surprising. But when Kunstein moved the thing to the sun, letting the window
When the sunlight shines on the jade tube, the jade tube suddenly emits bursts of faint colored light clouds, accompanied by a crisp sound, which is like the sound of wind chimes and raindrops. All in all, it is very pleasant to hear.
Kunstein did not know that when he opened the box containing the jade tube and moved it to the sun, the jade tube emitted an energy wave that ordinary people could not feel. This energy wave was not very strong.
But it was very obvious and alarmed the three people on the boat.
The leader of Priest Aminon, who was explaining Poseidon's doctrine to the congregation, was startled by this energy wave and stopped. He signaled to the other priests who asked what was going on, not to say anything. After a slight hesitation, he handed over the task of explaining the doctrine to the congregation.
The deputy walked out of the room by himself.
Another person who sensed the energy fluctuations was the captain of the Snow Queen. He was currently writing the logbook as usual and reorganizing what he needed to do after arriving at the next port.
When he sensed the energy fluctuation, his body suddenly began to tremble involuntarily. This tremor was both uneasy and excited. His body was even out of control, and some hidden abnormal limbs were also revealed, such as the changes in his eyes.
It became an insect's compound eyes, tentacles sprouted from its forehead, hard hair grew behind its ears, etc.
However, he quickly controlled the mutation of his body and returned to his original state. Then he put away the log and walked out of the captain's cabin towards the lower cabin.
The last one is naturally Leo. Although he has been doing experiments in his cabin these two days, brewing potions, and making rune traps, his mental network has always enveloped the entire Snow Queen, looking for this strange object ship.
There are secrets that you haven't discovered yet.
So when the jade tube emitted energy fluctuations, he was the first to notice it, and was even alarmed. His hands couldn't help but tremble, and a bottle of wizard's potion that was being refined was also destroyed.
Omega-level advanced life form. This was the answer that came to Leo's mind instantly after he felt this energy fluctuation. However, he quickly rejected this answer because although he felt that this energy fluctuation was very similar to Omega.
He is a J-level advanced life form, but there is no suppression by the higher life form in this energy wave. In his opinion, the life level of this energy wave is very weak, even only equivalent to a third-level psyker.
With curiosity in his heart, he also stopped what he was doing and left the cabin approaching the source of energy.
The energy source did not stay in one place. It was first in the passenger cabin, but soon left the passenger cabin and went to the entertainment cabin on the middle floor.
When Leo came to the entertainment cabin, his eyes fell directly on the card table not far away, and he saw the stone box on the table and the jade tube placed in the box, so he walked over.
"These jewels should be enough to be used as bargaining chips, right?" At this time, Kunstein took out the stone box and the gems in his pocket and put them on the table.
"Of course that's enough." All the discerning people present could see the value of these jewels at a glance and nodded repeatedly.
"Can I participate in this card game?" Just when Leo was about to speak, the captain who came to the entertainment cabin before him asked.
"Of course." Kunstein nodded directly and agreed without talking to other people at the card table.
The others had already agreed and Kunstein naturally did not refuse. Only the traveling businessman slightly questioned: "Mr. Captain, our card game is not an ordinary gambling game. You must at least come up with something we are interested in to be qualified."
Join the game."
"Uh, wait for me." The captain obviously didn't think that this card game was not gambling, so he turned around and walked out of the cabin, apparently going back to the captain's cabin to find something that could be used to place bets.
Just as the captain turned to leave, Leo and the leader of the Aminon priests sat on two seats on the card table and expressed their intention to participate in the card game.
After the two of them said they wanted to participate in the card game, they both looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, they could feel that the other person was heading towards the jade pipe.
"Of course, as long as you two can afford the necessary chips." Everyone present also felt that something was wrong, but they did not retreat. Instead, they looked at Leo and the leader of the Aminon priests with interest.
Without much thought, the leader of the Aminon priests took out an old Poseidon Church scripture from his old-looking robes and placed it on the table.
"Poseidon?" Everyone looked disappointed after seeing the name of the classic, because this doctrinal classic can be said to be the most printed classic by the Poseidon Church. Almost everyone in the Kingdom of England has a copy, even among believers.
In my eyes, it only has religious value and has no commercial value.
However, Leo's attitude was different from the others around him. After seeing this old classic, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, because he could feel that this classic was clearly a magical object, but with its
Judging from the fluctuations of divine power emitted, its value is definitely no different than the king and queen in Leo's hands.
Priest Aminon seemed to know what these people were thinking very well, and without further explanation, he opened the first page of this classic, revealing the signature and handwritten message on the first page.
With curiosity, everyone stood up and looked at the signature and message on that page. When they saw the signature and message clearly, they couldn't help but take a breath, and there was a little greed in each other's eyes.
Leo also saw the signature. Although he was not as surprised as those around him, he was equally surprised and became interested in this classic.
Jay Barrosas is the name written on the page. Not many people know this name in other kingdoms, but it is a well-known figure in the Kingdom of England because he is the only person in the Kingdom of England who has been granted the title of "Master" by the Orthodox Church.
A saintly priest of the Church of Poseidon, and the only person to be canonized before his death.
There are countless legends about Jay Barosas, the most common of which is that he assisted the king in punishing some evil nobles in the kingdom. Among the various plays performed in the Kingdom of England, as long as they are related to Jay Barosas
The dramas are all very popular.
A book of Poseidon signed by Jay Barrosas and with a message is definitely a high-quality product that any collector is eager for, and no one doubted that the thing that Reverend Arminon took out was fake, they were just curious.
What on earth made Priest Arminon willing to gamble with such a precious religious relic?
When everyone admitted that what Priest Arminon brought out was qualified to participate in the gambling game, their attention also shifted to Leo, and they were looking forward to what good things Leo could come up with.
Seeing this, Leo took out a few psychic substances traded from the Special Bureau, seemingly from his pocket, but actually from his own storage space.
These psychic substances are of very poor quality in terms of the quality of the psychic energy contained in them. The reason why Leo kept this psychic substance was mainly because the quality of the psychic energy was too poor and he could not find a place to use it.
.
Even so, these psychic substances sell very well. They are all natural amber, and they are presented in a perfect teardrop shape without any polishing. What is even more rare is that each amber contains two
Colorful ancient insects mating.
When Leo took out these pieces of spiritual energy, the greedy gaze that fell on them was several times stronger than that of the sea nerves, and the most greedy among them was Kunstein who was sitting not far away.
Kunstein has many businesses, but the most important one is the jewelry business. Based on his years of experience in the industry, the value of the amber pieces Leo took out far exceeds the gemstones of the same size. They are definitely the best in the eyes of gem collectors.
.
Naturally, Leo also successfully qualified to participate in the card game.
After a while, the captain hurried in with a box, and without any nonsense, after sitting down, he put the box on the table, opened it, and said, "This is my bargaining chip."
Everyone looked at the box with great interest and saw that inside the box was a very strange metal plate with a lot of patterns on it, which looked like a very mysterious item.
"What is this?" Someone didn't recognize this metal plate.
"Can you show it to me?" But some people seemed to see something and asked the captain.
The captain pushed the box in front of the inquirer. The inquirer very professionally took out a pair of gloves and put them on. Then he took out the metal plate and inspected it carefully. He carefully put it back into the box and said, "I think this
Items are eligible to be counted towards the chips.”
"What on earth is this?" someone asked in confusion.
"Guga Slate." The man replied.
"Guga Stone Slate?" Everyone became curious about the metal plate and couldn't help but look at it.
In the world of antiquities collections, the Gujia Stone Slabs are definitely the best collectibles. It is said that during the archeology of some sites in the Gujia Desert, a total of fifty-four Gujia Stone Slabs were unearthed. Later, the army transporting the Gujia Stone Slabs was attacked and lost.
He bought twenty-three pieces, and these twenty-three pieces of Gujia stone slabs appeared on the black market one after another. Every time they appeared, they were immediately bought at high prices.
Although some people have heard the name of Gujia Stone Slab, they don’t understand the details of it. After seeing the metal plate, they can’t help but ask: "But isn’t this a metal plate? Why is it called a stone slab?"
As soon as the question was asked, someone knowledgeable immediately explained: "The name Gujia Stone Tablet is based on the first stone tablet discovered that recorded Gujia text, but in fact, among the fifty-four Gujia Stone Tablets discovered,
There are sixteen metal plates in it, but the names have been fixed, so the sixteen metal plates are still using the old names."
After receiving the explanation, everyone's doubts were gone, and the captain's request to join the game was naturally no problem.
The next step was to calculate the chip prices of these items. As Leo expected, the amber he took out was naturally the most expensive, followed by the Captain's Guga Slate, and finally the Poseidon of Priest Aminon.
Kunstein also exchanged his jewelry for chips, but when he saw that Kunstein did not exchange the jade tube next to him, the captain couldn't help but ask.
Kunstein said in a deep voice: "This thing is my lucky thing. I will not sell it unless it is absolutely necessary."
Leo and others did not show regret, but waited for the game to begin.
Soon the card game started normally. This was Leo's first time playing cards and he was not very familiar with the rules, so in the first few games he put up the ante and covered the cards. No matter how good the cards in his hand were, he would always play cards.
No follow up.
At the gambling table, other people played very seriously, carefully calculating the cards in other people's hands. Every time they placed a bet, they were playing a psychological battle with their opponents. It has to be said that everyone at these tables was a
A master at playing with people's hearts.
However, even among good players, there are differences among them, and this level is directly reflected in winning or losing.
What is surprising is that after a few rounds of poker, the biggest winner was not the veterans at the poker table, but the leader of the Aminon priests who did not look like he knew how to play cards.
The rules of the fighting beast card are very special. The chips can be continuously accumulated and accumulated. When a round of cards is played, if there are several winners, the winner who invested the most chips will get the most bets.
