Chapter 349 Old Blue: I'll go to the kids' table
"...Cons, old Learson is not here?" Earl Hall counted out the chips, pushed them to the winner, old Blue, and asked the young man who had just arrived.
"Yes... Father has a headache..." Conse obediently moved a chair over and sat aside to watch. This seemed to be a game... It required four people to play, sitting on the four sides of the square table... The four were Old Blue, Deacon Roy, Deacon Ikanser, whose face was red and seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and Earl Hall.
As for Daly, after she completed the recruitment of Audrey and let the Hall family speak for the Goddess Church, she asked Old Blue to send her back to Tingen to "rest".
When Old Blue came back, he took out the prototype of "Mahjong" invented by the "great inventor" Leppard of the "Perpetual Motion Machine" company based on Russell's manuscript... The kids at the table also wanted to play this, but there was only one deck of Mahjong, so they had to play cards.
Ikanser of the "Mechanical Heart" had originally scoffed at this and didn't want to play this "amateur scientist" thing! But after Fengbao and the other two snatched the bottle away and played two rounds, he was already an old mahjong fan with red eyes, ready to play mahjong all night.
"Finally someone is here! Get out of here, old man! You always win with small cards, and I can never win with a perfect set! Get out of here! Change people!" Ikanser also threw out his chips and waved impatiently at Old Blue.
Old Bruce took the chips, stood up, pressed Conse back to his seat, and then said with a smile:
"Okay, then, Roy, the person is here, and you know him, so I'll leave it to you...I can go to the kids' table, okay?"
"Get lost!" Ikanser waved his hands impatiently, then said to the young Conse with a smile while shuffling the cards:
"Can you play cards? No... That's great, come on, learn it."
……
"Hey! Klein, you won a lot?" Old Blue moved a chair and sat next to the card table. Seeing the high pile of chips in front of the "Fortune Teller", he said in surprise.
"Mr. Blue! I report that Klein cheated by using 'divination'!" Fors said angrily, "Then who can beat him! But Audrey and Jacob don't seem to care... Damn it!"
Old Bruce smiled and said:
"Then you take the cloth off his eyes and I'll 'notarize' that cheating is not allowed...how do you think?"
“Uh…” Fors was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, “Forget it then…”
Audrey guessed Fors's thoughts and found it very interesting. She was not the infatuated woman in the novel. Although she was indeed curious about Mr. World, they were just friends! Fors was too...protective! Well, this showed that she was really in love... Let's wish them the best!
Xio was cracking melon seeds on the side. She didn't want to play cards because her luck had never been very good...but watching Fors and Klein bickering...was much more interesting!
"Fortunately, four people are fighting against evil... Even if Klein uses divination, we still have a chance!" Jacob didn't care about winning or losing at all. There was a smile on his face. Just playing cards with his friends... He was already satisfied enough in his heart!
"Oh, the minds of young people are hard to understand," Old Blue waved his hand, then he took out a silver dinner knife with a golden blade and an unusually delicate shape from his pocket. He smiled and said, "How about some jackpots? This knife... is considered a 'magic item', and its effect... is very strong. It can last for about a year. Whoever wins the next one will get it. How about it?"
Audrey immediately recognized that it was the tableware from her own dining table... Uh... Using someone else's table knife as a prize... Is this appropriate, Mr. Priestess? The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she smiled:
"I think it's okay. It looks very 'magical' and precious."
Klein, who was standing by, was stunned. In his "spiritual vision" that had already been activated, the knife in Old Blue's right hand was emitting light and heat... It was an item similar to the small kitchen knife he had on him! Surprisingly! Old Blue made another one?! He stabbed himself again?! Klein hurriedly said:
“Hey…are you…alright? I have a potion for stopping bleeding…” I bought it from the fat pharmacist at the Extraordinary Gathering. I didn’t expect it to come in handy here! After saying that, Klein reached into his pocket, ready to take it out of the “Traveler’s Bag”.
Old Bruce shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"That's not necessary. Well, you can take it out. How about using it as a prize for the next card game? A bottle of extraordinary potion, the winner can take it away!"
Fors was a little confused. She didn’t quite understand why Klein took out the hemostatic potion after Old Blue took out the knife... Did the knife scratch the old man?
Meanwhile, Xio, who was eating melon seeds at the side, was keenly aware of the extraordinary nature of the knife. She leaned close to Fors’ ear and whispered, “Use your spiritual vision to see that it’s not simple…”
Fors quietly opened his spiritual vision and was immediately stunned. The golden color emitted by the knife... seemed to be even stronger than his "Holy Sun Emblem"! Oh, by the way, Old Blue said it was a "magical item"! Damn! Such a big game? !
She and Xio looked at each other and then said:
"Well, then Xio and I will join together. We have a potion formula from a pharmacist, which we will use as a prize for the third round."
As she spoke, Fors took out the folded formula she had obtained from the giant bishop of the Harvest Church from her pocket. She had never had the chance to give it to Viscount Greylint, but after learning that he was coming to Hall's house today, she prepared to give it to Audrey privately and asked the young lady to pass it on for her, as a way of thanking the two nobles for helping Xio escape from prison.
"Pharmacist..." Audrey immediately understood Fors's hint. It seemed that the condition for entering this card game was that everyone contributed an extraordinary item, and these items would be the reward for the winner... How interesting! She waved to her personal maid Annie in the distance, and when she trotted over, she said to her:
"Go get the box on the far left of the closet in my room. Be careful when you handle it. The things inside are quite fragile."
"Yes, miss!" Anne took small steps back, then turned around and walked quickly towards the bedroom area on the second floor.
Jacob also understood the secret of the card game at this time. He took out a folded paper from his pocket and put it on the table, smiling:
"It seems that Audrey's belongings still need to be kept secret... Then I'll... um, this is... the Psychiatrist's potion formula, which will be used as a prize for the fourth round."
Damn! This guy, Jacob! You deserve to be looked down upon! A licker! Old Blue held his forehead with his hand, but he had no choice but to take the paper and put it in the prize pool.
