Chapter 52 Lampa Club (Part 2)
"This is not cheating, but a kind of wisdom." Xiuyi readily paid a hundred Jinweits to the Earl of Streas.
"You bet on sea with all kinds of possible or impossible things?" Earl of Streas took the money and asked with great interest.
"In fact, it's more complicated than that." Xiu Yi took a sip of the juice around him: "We bet on the wind and waves, the monsters in the sea, and who can swim farther and dive deeper in the sea, and sometimes we even bet on life. For example, who can get closer to a certain monster, we bet on the other party's death or life."
"That's too dangerous."
"It's also more exciting, much more exciting than some boring little bets now." Xiuyi smiled, looking at Count Streas: "Are you interested in playing a big game?"
Earl of Streas frowned slightly: "What's the big thing?"
"It's very simple." Xiuyi put the juice in the glass aside, and then asked the maid to bring two more glasses of juice. Then he took out a bottle of potion from his arms and poured out a little into one of the wine glasses.
Putting the potion in place, Xiuyi pointed to three wine glasses and said, "I think I want to remind you that what I just took out was a very interesting drug called belladona. I believe many people have heard of this kind of thing. Yes, it is a very interesting plant rhizome and stem condensed. Belladona itself has no special effects, but when it is mixed with some special medium, it will produce a completely different effect. For example, if you drop some of this thing into the juice, it will generate a very wonderful toxin. If a person drinks it, he will be paralyzed and paralyzed. If he doesn't get treatment, he will die. The most important thing is that when it enters this juice, it will not have any effect on the juice, regardless of color or taste. When you drink it, you will find that it is a glass of juice, without any change."
The nobles all had a pale face.
So Xiu Yi smiled and said, "Of course, now everyone sees me dropping the medicine into which glass of juice, so they will naturally not drink it. So, what if we do this?"
Xiu Yi suddenly put three cups of juice in a tin stent, updated quickly, read the novel, and then covered them with a round lid, and turned the tray.
The tray turned around the counter several times, and when the lid opened, no one knew which glass of wine was poisonous.
Shuyi looked at Earl Streas with a smile: "Sir, are you interested in playing with it? I bet I will choose any cup to drink it, and that cup must be non-toxic."
"This is impossible." Earl of Streas's face was extremely gloomy.
"You have to try it to find out." Xiu Yi's attitude was very casual.
"You are kidding in your own life."
“This is exactly where the game is exciting.”
Earl of Streas looked at the three bottles of juice and shook his head gently: "This is crazy, Master Dardanell."
"Every citizen of the sea family must learn to fight against the wind and waves and struggle in death from birth. Our attitude towards life and death is much less slight than you think."
Earl of Streas swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He didn't know when the center of the game gradually shifted to him and Siser D'Danell.
Now, the young master said casually that he would choose one of the three cups of juice to drink, without fear of the possible consequences. On the contrary, he was himself, but he was shocked by the other party.
As the warden of the dignified Spark Prison, Earl Streas is also a famous figure in Royo City. He doesn't want to be scared by such a fledgling boy.
A thought suddenly flashed through the mind of Count Streas, and he shouted: "Oh, hell, I almost got deceived by you. You have the antidote, right?"
Shuyi burst out laughing and began to applaud: "It's amazing, Lord Streas, you see the key to the problem."
"Don't try this little trick in front of me," said Count Streas proudly.
"Then I will add another promise. If I choose the poisonous cup, I will not take any antidote. But if I win, Count Streas, I heard that you are a famous painting lover, and there are many famous paintings in your collection. Interestingly, I am also very interested in collecting famous paintings. Over the years, I have a special liking for Alec and Dortry's works, so I collect them everywhere. I heard that in your collection, there is Alec and Dortry's work... "The Saint of the Sunset"?"
When everyone heard the name of the Saint Picture of the Sunset, they began to be frightened.
"Do you want the picture of the Sunset Saint?" Earl of Streas also felt a little incredible: "Last year, someone offered me 8,000 goldweits, and I didn't sell them."
"Then I'll pay ten thousand Jinweits."
Everyone gasped.
Ten thousand goldwitters, if this is in modern times, it will be a price of two million.
"Are you crazy? Master Dardanell." Viscount Radul, who was standing beside him, advised Xiuyi: "You're having a lot of fun."
"No." Shuyi shook his head: "Vissue Ladur, even the rude and savage sea family, also understands the meaning of a promise of a thousand gold. Since I said it, I must do it. Earl of Streas, are you willing to make this bet with me? If I win, I want the "Sunset Saint Picture". If I lose, I will pay you 10,000 Jinweits. How about it? In terms of winning, I have a winning rate of nearly 70% and if you think it is unfair, I can raise it again."
"No, this is fair. If you lose, you lose more than money. I can agree to this bet." Earl of Streas was a little angry. He did not expect the boy in front of him to dare to provoke him like this. Since he was so sure, he also looked at how Siser Daldaniel could guarantee that he would not pick out the toxic cup of juice.
"Thank you very much for your generosity." Xiuyi picked up one of the juices and drank it.
The game starts again.
But everyone was uneasy.
The efficacy of Beladonna takes time to exert its efficacy. Until then, no one can be sure whether Shuyi is drinking poison or juice.
They have to wait.
Although the game continued, every big shot was "calculated to look at Xiu Yi's face carefully."
Xiuyi always acted calmly.
"It must be admitted that Master Dardanell, you are a very outstanding person. I believe that among the teenagers of the same age, there may be no one who can compare to you. At least no one can be so calm without knowing his life and death." Earl of Streas sighed admiration.
"Since my father's death, my uncle has been cultivating me with all his strength. I shoulder the burden of the family and often have to study hard. If the Dardanelles family wants to have their own status in the empire, it still takes a lot of time to work hard, so I dare not slacke in the slightest." Xiuyi answered seriously.
"Since that's the case, you should be more responsible for your life."
"The wind and waves on the sea are very big and the risks are many. Everyone in the sea family has been growing up in the wind and waves since childhood. They have learned to be indifferent to life and death. In the face of huge benefits, we are even more brave to take risks with our own lives. The Sunset Saint Picture is of great significance to me, and I am very willing to use a gambling with a greater chance to win to get that painting."
"But if you lose..."
"I won't lose." Xiuyi answered the other party in a very affirmative tone.
This made Count Streas a little.
Why is the boy in front of him sure that he will win?
"I can tell you why I'm so sure I won't lose, but I hope that won't be an excuse for you to deny this bet." Xiuyi said.
"No problem. I want to hear too, why do you make sure that the glass of juice you drank is non-toxic."
"It's very simple." Xiuyi replied: "It's this poison, as I said, after entering the juice, there will be no changes in color and taste. So, how can I make sure I won't choose the poisonous cup?" Xiuyi smiled and looked at the big guys around him: "In fact, there is a way, that is, I used to drink one of them alone. Of course, it was filled later. From the surface, it is no different from the juice in other cups. But let's not forget one thing. That is, the juice has sediment. Since this sediment is heavier than water, they usually stay at the bottom of the cup. When the juice in the cup is repeatedly drunk, the sediment in that cup will have more sediment than the sediment just poured into the cup..."
Xiu Yi slowly raised the cup in his hand, and there was still some juice sediment left.
Shuyi continued: "In addition, there is a little mimeogram on the mouth of the cup, which is the mark of the lip gloss. I happened to use some of this stuff before I came to prevent chapped lips. Everyone has seen that the poison I just didn't drip into the cup I used, so I just need to find the cup of juice I drank and drink it. So I can be sure that this is the cup I used before, and it is non-toxic."
"Oh, hell." Earl of Streas groaned.
After saying this, Shuyi looked at Earl Streas: "This is why I am sure I can win, Lord Earl. The Prophet Game is actually a trap game. We design various traps for the other party to drill into it. Whether it is winning or losing, the other party cannot regret it. Of course, you can also design some fake traps, and if I expose it, then the person who loses is still you. This is the game that the sea family loves to play the most. I think you will like it now."
Earl of Streas was very gloomy: "Yes, I started to like this game, it was really interesting."
"Then our bet..."
"Come to my office tomorrow, I will give you the painting."
"Sbuck Prison?"
"Yes, Spark Prison." Streas took out a document from his arms and put it in Shuyi's hand: "This is a pass. With it, you can come to Spark Prison to find me."
"No problem, sir." Xiuyi answered respectfully and politely, with a mysterious smile on his face.
