Whispering Poems.

Chapter 69 Unusual Good Luck
At the moment when the two sides looked at each other, both Dr. Schneider and Xia De's eyes widened, and Xia De even read the meaning of "why are you here" from each other's eyes.

When Xia De was asking about what to wear, he told the doctor that he was going to attend a more formal dinner party recently because of a task entrusted by the office, but he didn't mention it was the dinner party at Lake View Manor, and the doctor didn't ask him where he was going. I don't think Shade will appear in this place.

He wanted to leave the poker table and go to the doctor, but the doctor shook his head at Xia De solemnly. At the same time, the conversation with his friends about the difference between silverware and gold hammering did not stop.

They passed by the grape trellis like this, and there were people at the card table who were friends of Dr. Schneider's companions and greeted each other a few words.

The doctor didn't have any conversation with Xia De, but made a series of more complicated movements with both hands very covertly. After confirming that Xia De saw clearly, he left with his companions.

"But what do those gestures mean?"

Shade wondered as he stared at the grapes hanging from above.

Although he saw it clearly, he didn't understand it at all.He didn't understand sign language or hinting, and it was useless how clear Dr. Schneider's gestures were.

"However, Mrs. Lasoa from [Blood of Quicksilver], the Ring Warlock Squad of the Church of the Orthodox God, the 'Lady', a High Ring Warlock who doesn't know her level, and Dr. Schneider have all appeared in Lake View Manor. What will happen. Go and try to find the doctor after playing cards. Will Miss Luisa and Priest August be here too?"

The second game of Rhodes between Sir Solar, the horticultural artist, and Mr. Sikh, the factory owner of the flour mill, was obviously more interesting than the first game between the two barons.The two were almost at a stalemate in the way that you win a game and I win a game, and the foreheads of the two of them were sweating at the end.

And when the second game went to the end with a score of [-] to [-], not only the participants, but even the onlookers dared not take a deep breath.

"I won this round."

With the face-up Twelve of Flowers, Sir Solar picked up the back-up card, let out a breath, and turned the Nine of the Sun face-up.Mr. Sikh, who was sitting across from him, sighed and turned over the card on his back. Even Shade couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

Mr. Sikh's face-up card doesn't matter, because his back-up card turns out to be "Queen".In the competitive rules of Lord's card, once one side draws "Queen" or "King", it must suspend the card.Although the other side can continue to draw cards, unless it can end up with exactly 21 points, it is a loser in any situation.

And if both sides draw the king and queen, compare the size of the other card in the same situation, and the king is bigger than the queen in different situations.If one side holds both "king" and "queen", it automatically wins, but this situation is only possible when the cards are dealt.

So Mr. Sikh drew the queen, but lost to Sir Solar's blackjack, a game that was enough for spectators to talk about for months.

Sir Lavender stretched out his head and looked at the cards on the stone table with a blushing face, and patted Sir Solar's shoulder heavily, almost knocking out the toothpick that Sir was holding.

Both sides of the game got up and left, and the atmosphere at this time was obviously much better than the atmosphere in the first game.Sir Solar and Mr. Sikh had no conflict of interest, the two shook hands amicably, and the latter continued to express his regrets.

So the game has become one for each, and the final candidate is particularly important.The shrewd looking Baron of Rwanda decided to play himself again, while Baron Lavender thought about it carefully, and finally took out a deck of cards and let his "friends" each draw one, and finally let the king's summer be drawn for some unknown reason. Germany plays.

This time, even Shade has nothing to say:

"However, this kind of luck is already a bit strange."

But the Baron of Rwanda has something to say, he is a little shorter than his friends around him, and he looks more like a glowing potato after sitting down in advance:

"Lavender, we agreed to a fair competition, and we invited all our friends, not the Rhodes masters who paid for it, otherwise this match would be meaningless."

He didn't directly say that there was a problem with Xia De, but he obviously did not recognize that Xia De, a stranger, was playing against him.

"Yes, this young detective is my friend. We had a good chat just now."

Baron Lavender said without changing his face, Shade took the opportunity to hand over his few business cards to the short baron, who saw the address of "No. Somewhat surprised, he put the business card away seriously.

"Look, I'm a native of Tobesque, not an out-of-town Rhodes player. If I'm any great player, there's no way you haven't heard of me. Oh, baron, if you don't believe me, I can ask I swear by the gods, I am definitely not a master of Rhodes."

Shade said seriously, the Rwandan Baron still looked at him suspiciously, but still nodded to indicate that the game could begin.But before Mr. Candela of the Society of Prophets began to shuffle the cards, the Baron of Rwanda said to Baron Lavender again:

"Since Detective Hamilton is your friend, why don't you give him this bet of mine after he wins, and I'll give you £20 as another bet."

The Rwandan Baron smiled:
"Since you're friends, I guess that's all right? You don't need to up the ante."

Although 20 pounds is a lot of money, it is not worth the [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl].According to the market price that Shade understands, once the Match Girl with special rules can find a suitable buyer and sell it, the value will not be less than 50 pounds. This is a collection of real rich people.

Of course Baron Lavender did not want to agree, and there is no reason to agree to such a request now.But seeing that everyone was looking at him, his heart sank, and the issue of face instantly occupied the peak.He raised his head and said:
"Of course, Detective Hamilton is my friend, and if he wins the bet, the bet goes to him. Your £20 goes to Sir Solar."

While speaking, he patted Shard, who had already sat down, on the shoulder. Shard knew that Baron Lavender would definitely ask for the cards afterwards, but he would make up for it with a sum of money.

"I don't mind either."

Shard said, and Sir Solar, who was standing by and watching the game, nodded indifferently.

So the third round officially began, and the deck was still the deck of the two barons, so after the shuffling, Xia De, who had a faint red light in his right eye, roughly knew the contents of the opponent's first two cards.

Of course, it is impossible for him to remember the bloodstains of all 54 cards, but after using the spell [Echo of Blood], he not only has a keen observation on the subtle bloodstains, but also strengthens the memory of the bloodstains, so he dares to confidently think that it is roughly know.

"The opponent's first two cards are 10 and 9, and there is a high probability that they will not continue to ask for cards"

Xia De thought in his heart, seeing that his bright card was Sun 1, and his hole card was Xingchen 9.He stretched out his hand to signal Mr. Candela to continue to play cards, and the result was Moon 11 after he opened it.

"No, this luck is definitely not right, what happened?"
