Chapter 244: Chaos' Hole Cards

"Flop?What cards??Do we have cards to turn over?" The three of Stint, including Beth, looked at Thor with a little resentment in their eyes. At the same time, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that Thor hadn't really done anything, and was ready to go back empty-handed.

Hearing the words of the three of them, Thor didn't care, and waved his hand with a smile.

"Tomorrow, we'll send these letters out in person, and this will be the last one. I mean still find someone to deliver it, we don't show up, but we have to follow it in person to make sure that the letter is delivered accurately, and whether the territory has money or not depends on the day after tomorrow. ”

"The most dangerous part of the whole plan is also the day after tomorrow, after all, there are so many smart people in this world, if the whole thing is a goof, then the next thing to face is to be hunted down and escaped. Anyway, guys, I need your help. ”

Thor opened his hands and smiled as if he was about to hug everyone, but was met with the roll of the eyes of the three Beth.

Just now Saul said that smart people can see through this, but until now, the three of them still haven't understood it as participants in the whole process, doesn't that mean that they are not even as stupid.

The point is that now the arena events have ended for three days, and the various gambling stalls have long been closed. The three of Beth couldn't figure it out, you didn't move when you should have made the most move, is it still useful now that everything is over?

Rolling her eyes, Beth thought the answer to the mystery was in this last letter. She decisively reached out and picked out one of the letters in Sol's hand, looked at Sol's expression and then opened it, Sol did not refuse, just read it and seal it again.

So the three heads, eager for answers, stared at the contents of the letter and fell into thought.

The contents of the letter are not very subtle.

Roughly speaking, the great astrologer Buu was about to leave Byron Bian, but because of his growing health, he was going to recruit a group of highly qualified young apprentices in the imperial capital before leaving, and personally teach them the art of great prophecy.

These young apprentices will be selected from a wide range of families and will have a limited number of places. Then ask the interested head of the family to bring two thousand golden eagles to a certain place to talk the day after tomorrow, and whether to come or not is purely voluntary.

The letter also stated that the Academy of Astrology would be responsible for the safety of the apprentices until the children were returned to the family in ten years. In addition, regardless of how many disciples are recruited in the end, the cost of 2,000 Golden Eagles will be used as the student's future room and board and tuition fees.

The surplus will be used to rebuild the eight-pointed astrological tower that has long been buried in history at the summit of the Anubis Mountains north of Byron Bian, the closest place to the sky on the mainland.

After reading the entire letter, the cheeks of Diller, Beth and the others continued to twitch, and they looked like they had a toothache.

Because it's a ...... story It's too, it's too rough.

Great prophecy?The top of Anubis?The closest place to the sky?The eight-pointed astrological tower?Two thousand golden eagles?The appetite is not small, but the question: Are those heads of the house who are comparable to human spirits likely to be fooled? Are others afraid that they are not pigs? Or is there so much money that there is no place to spend it?

Staunt and the others thought they could finally see the answer, but apparently Thor's goddamn guy hadn't gotten to the bottom of it yet.

"What the hell did you predict, and why should anyone believe you?" Beth put her arms around Thor and shook it, causing Thor to spin his head.

"I don't know if others will believe it, but the answer will be found the day after tomorrow. Thor shrugged at the roll of Beth's eyes.

The next day, the four men found two messengers, and one of them handed them ten letters, and then agreed on a reward for the delivery of the letters. After the two messengers set out on their journey, Staunt and Diller followed and watched as the letters arrived one by one.

Ostein ended his busy day and returned to his family's smiles.

Sitting at the dining table, he held his favorite little son in his lap and asked him if he had listened to his mother.

After a bit of laughter, Ostein subconsciously glanced behind him.

In the days of the previous arena competition, the old butler would send a mysterious letter from that direction every day.

There are a total of eight letters, corresponding to the eight semi-finals, and each letter will always arrive on time the day before the semi-finals, and then the content of the letter will make a prediction of the upcoming event the next day.

However, to Ostein's shocking and terrifying thing, all the predictions in the eight letters were accurate, even if the tournament went to the top 16, quarterfinals, and semi-finals until the championship, there were no mistakes or omissions.

After the initial predictions of the first three or four letters were verified, Ostein still didn't take it seriously. But as the predictions progressed and the rest of the events continued, Ostein suddenly felt a sense of terror.

Any game is taken out and looked at independently, and the wins and losses are five or five, which means that there is a half chance that you can guess correctly if you guess anything. But with eight guesses in a row, and even the prediction of the championship game was accurate, it can't be said.

This is not a coin toss, a copper coin is a shield on one side and a wreath on the other, and with some practiced techniques, it is not unusual to toss a shield eight times in a row.

The difference between guessing a winner and flipping a coin is that two things seem to have the same probability, but they are different in nature.

The letter predicted that the first match between Borante and Zonal Knights would be won by Zonal Knights, and then the prediction came true.

If the focus of the second letter is still on the knight Zonal, then there is a possibility that the Zonal knight was bribed and deliberately influenced the outcome of the event by winning or losing, so as to achieve the purpose of some people behind the scenes.

Ostein thought the same thing, but strangely enough, two new contenders were found in the letter in the second race, and the prediction was accurate, and the same was true for the third race, until the final championship match.

What shocked Ostein was that the letter made predictions for eight different pairs of competitors, and if the outcome of the event was to be forced to match the predictions in the letter, it would be unless someone bribed eight different competitors, including the winner.

It would not have been impossible if in the early years had paid enough money to hire someone to play match-fixing.

But Ostein knew very well that the current political atmosphere of Byronbian did not allow this kind of thing to happen, and no family could and would not dare to do it, unless the king was behind the scenes, but the king could not and did not make sense to do so.

Moreover, this guy, who calls himself the Great Astrologer Buu, seems to be an alien force.

By the time of the seventh semi-final, Ostein was already skeptical of this so-called astrology, because even if it was a conspiracy, he could not see through the fog behind it.

When it came to the final finals, looking at the prediction in the letter, Ostein couldn't hold back and made a 100 Golden Eagle bet on the winner indicated in the letter. Although it has already been emphasized in the letter, if great astrology is used for profit, it will be invalid.

Ostan made the bet in the hope that he would lose, which might prove that the so-called astrology was nonsense, but it turned out that his bet was easily doubled.

Finally Ostan suddenly became a little confused, could this astrology really exist? Can predict the future? But now the whole continent is dark, where are the stars? What astrology do you rely on? If the future can really be predicted, what a terrible power it is?

Another thing that puzzled Ostein was that if it was all a scam, what was the scammer up to? He never asked for money until the end of the tournament.

As of today, it has been three or four days since the contest ended, and the mysterious letter has never been seen again. But in the past few days, every day when he returned home, Osstein would still subconsciously look behind him, wanting to see if there were any new letters in the old butler's hand.

Maybe...... After all, he won a hand by betting in the championship match despite the admonition in the letter. Ostein couldn't figure out his mood, was he expecting or resisting?

To this day, at the dinner table, Ostein subconsciously glanced back. Then he saw the old butler holding a delicate envelope in his hand, his eyes suddenly froze, and he couldn't wait to take it in his hand.

Ostein quickly finished reading the contents of the letter, and then the whole person fell into deep thought.

Ignoring half of his dinner, he abruptly got up and went to his study, where he began to pace in circles.

The Great Astrologer Recruits Apprentices? This seems a bit like a scam, after all, the other party has made a clear demand for money. Although the use of the funds has been listed, Ostein is also a king of stories in his own right.

The question is that someone else has shown you the power of so-called astrology through eight impossible event predictions, so should you believe it at all?

It seems that everything has come back and forth again, because if you can't see through what the eight events are all about, you can't overturn the astrology theory.

The letter makes it clear that the recruitment of apprentices will be carried out in some large families, and the number of places is limited, and it is very intriguing that they will not come voluntarily.

At least Ostein saw that he was not the only one who had received the letter, nor had he received any particular favor.

It's easy to end this matter, and it's over without a response.

But what if this set of astrology is true?

Think about it, just send an heir to study for a few years, even if it's just a little bit of skin. It doesn't require you to predict changes in the pattern of the continent, as long as you can predict your own birth, old age, sickness and death or family crisis, the investment of two thousand Golden Eagles is not worth mentioning at all.

The most important thing is, even if you don't get involved in this matter yourself, what if another family sends an heir? After a few years, who knows if the gap between the families will be reversed because of this goddamn astrology.

Wandering around the study until nightfall, Ostein felt that he had not thought through anything, but that his mind was a mess.

In the end, he still recruited the old butler.

"Go and prepare," Osten...... said as he suddenly realized that once he got on this boat, his beloved youngest son would probably be away from him for about ten years, adrift alone......

"Prepare two thousand gold coins and give them to me tomorrow morning. Eventually, Ostein made up his mind, and he was going to pay a visit to the great astrologer tomorrow as the letter said, to see what kind of person he was.

Unbeknownst to Ostan, on the same night, there were nineteen other families of his size who had made the same decision as him.
