Chapter 118 Poker Divination

Long

The two fell into deep thought again.

The thoughts in their minds had already diverged in that direction.

Wren's words, the two bigwigs on the side really understood.

I guess I know better than someone else.

......

Half an hour later,

The bearded man's eyes burst into a sparkle of essence, and he looked suddenly bright.

He looked at Wren, his face full of relief and sincerity: "Thank you Wren for solving your doubts, the old man has benefited a lot today." ”

After a pause, he glanced at Wren meaningfully and carefully, and did not hesitate to praise himself, and said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is really full of talents around her, and Xiaoyou has amazing talents..."

"Now it seems that I came here in person, and I really didn't make a mistake."

The man in the cloak also had a feeling of empowerment, and his expression was complicated, as if he had made some decision in his heart.

Bazel, who was at the same table, wanted to follow the card friend to say a few words, but found that he didn't understand the topic at all, so he could only play haha: "Ahem, ahem!" Wren boy, you... Not bad, not bad..."

As he spoke, he plucked out his ears boredly, pulled out a lump of amber earwax and bounced it out, which could be regarded as a sense of participation.

Wren: "..."

is the same big guy, why is the gap so big?

......

Finally, the atmosphere was completely harmonious.

Wren also understood that they didn't mean to come for the "Treasure of Morin" at all.

This made him even more curious, why did the two bigwigs come here for this trip?

Then he asked, "By the way, what are you two doing here?" You can't really be looking to play poker, are you? ”

"Oh, just listening to you, I almost forgot about business."

The man in the cloak said, as if remembering a small matter that was not very important.

He took out a letter and said, "I originally wanted to find Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and send her some information. Now, it happens that the divination is you, so I have to ask you to do it for you. ”

There was not even a fire paint seal on the envelope, and it seemed that he was not afraid of being peeked at at all.

"Deliver a letter?"

Wren thought it was a little incredible.

What is the shocking content of this letter, it is worth his long journey to the plague base to deliver a letter.

In an instant, he captured other information in the cloak man's words, and asked curiously, "Are you a soothsayer?" ”

"Yes."

The man in the cloak flicked the playing cards in his hand, rubbed his fingers, conjured up a hand of "four A's", and said, "Have you ever heard of poker divination?" Although not as well-known as tarot divination, it is also an important branch of the divination sequence. ”

Originally, this hand was pretty cool.

I never thought there was such a thing as Bazel at the table.

He said coldly, "Hey, hey... Play your cards well, don't cheat, okay? Two decks of cards with eight aces, six in the pool, and you throw four more out, what does it mean? ”

Cloaked man: "..."

Bearded: "..."

Wren: "..."

The mystery of the "soothsayer" was torn apart in an instant by this incomprehensible ramming.

Isn't peony for cows to eat?

.......

Hearing this, Wren finally understood why they had found themselves so easily.

I also understand the eccentric character of this cloaked man's personality.

The mystery soothsayer sequence is all chattering guys, and they also have some strange abilities.

Thinking about it, he said again: "Then since you are a soothsayer, why don't you personally find Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to deliver a letter?" To tell you the truth, I don't know where His Highness Ymir is. ”

Wren was telling the truth, he had heard Ymir say that she was coming to find the temple, but the "Forest of Ashes" was so big, who knew where she was.

"Divination comes at a price, and it's not so easy to find someone."

The man in the cloak didn't hide the meaning of tucking it, shook his head with a smile, and said directly: "What's more, that eldest princess still has means to prevent detection, I only know that she is here, but to accurately locate her location, unless I don't want to live for decades, it's impossible..."

Wren's face became even more strange when he heard this, "You are not sure about the location of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, how do you know that I will definitely be able to deliver the letter?" ”

"I'm too lazy to look for it..."

The man in the cloak said that his laziness was extremely fresh and refined, lazy, like a sleepy insect that hadn't woken up.

Then, he said a bunch of technical terms, and said: "There is also a technical term in divination called 'optimal choice divination'. It's that I don't need to know the outcome, but I know that such a choice is the one that theoretically leads to the best outcome. ”

After a pause, he added, "Therefore, giving you the letter is the most labor-saving way." ”

The words were a bit tongue-in-cheek, but Wren understood: "What do you mean... At some point in the future, will I meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? ”

The cloaked man shrugged, "No, I'm not sure. It's just that as a result of divination, you have a higher chance than others. ”

Wren suddenly felt that this divination was a bit child's play, "That... What if my letter doesn't arrive? ”

The man in the cloak spread his hands with a nonchalant expression, "Then I can only blame Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for her bad luck." Isn't this life a process of gambling with fate? After all, inside the envelope is a very important piece of information, a matter of life and death. ”

“...”

Wren suddenly understood Bazel a little, and it took a lot of brains to talk to these god-like guys!

Thinking about it, the postman was also decided, and he didn't ask any more questions, and said, "What do you call Your Excellency?" If I met the eldest princess, who should I say sent the letter? ”

The cloaked man grinned, "My name is...' Clemens F. Metternich'. ”

......

Originally, it was just to entrust Wren to help deliver the letter.

Now Metternich heard Wren's previous remarks, and completely changed some of the ideas in his heart.

In this world, there are not many people in his eyes.

Now, there's one more.

The hand is over, and the poker is put away.

The man in the cloak looked at Wren, suddenly became interested, blinked, and said, "Mr. Wren, after we have finished talking about business, shall we bet on a single card?" If you win, I'll help you divination for free; If you lose, just give me a gold coin. ”

"Playing like this?"

A gold coin sounds like a big bet, and if you lose, you lose.

If Wren had known in advance that this was a madman who liked to gamble with people at every turn, he would never have agreed so casually.

"Draw a card and bet on the size."

"Okay."

Wren didn't hesitate and drew a card from the column that the cloaked man had held on the table.

Anyway, it's all about luck, and it doesn't test the skills, so there's nothing to hesitate about.

He drew a card, put it on the table and didn't turn it over, waiting for the other to draw one as well.

And at this time, a strange scene happened.

The cloaked man took a step slower, and he reached out to pick a poker card and tried to draw it. But the hand pinched in the corner of the card seemed to be imprisoned by something, and he couldn't draw that thin card!

"Huh..."

At this moment, he seemed to sense something, and his face became incredible.

His eyes flashed, and the corners of the cloaked man's mouth gradually overflowed with a bitter and helpless arc.

He suddenly let go and gave up drawing cards.

Sigh slightly.

Wren was puzzled: "You don't smoke?" ”

The man in the cloak smiled wryly and shook his head, "No need. ”

"Don't you look at my points?"

"No need."

The bearded administrator on the side seemed to see something, and said meaningfully: "Little friend Rennes, your luck is really good. ”

Wren was confused: "What's wrong?" ”

Could it be that what just happened?

"Nothing."

"So did I win or lose?"

"Win."

"Then are you going to help me with divination?"

"The results are in."

“???”

"Divination: Turning evil into good fortune."

“...”

That's it?

Don't you fiddle with the medium and then chant a spell or something?

This guy says he's a soothsayer, so he's not going to be a parallel trade, right?

Wren felt that the transcendents of the mysterious department were really some god-like babbling guys.

I've been dealing with these guys for a long time, and I'm not talking normally.

It's like a big monk playing a sharp game, and the content is all based on guessing.

Then, didn't stay long.

Two uninvited guests came and left together.

Before leaving, the bearded man smiled and said, "Little friend Rennes, we will meet again in the future." ”

The man in the cloak also showed his signature squinting smile and said to him, "Suddenly I feel that this world is starting to get a little interesting..."

“...”

Only Wren is inexplicable.

Seeing that the man was gone, he realized that the man in the cloak had left a poker card behind.

It's the one I just pulled out.

I wanted to be reminded, and when I looked up again, the person was gone.

He thought about it and flipped it open.

A colorful "clown card".

......

Seeing the people go, Bazel breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

He suddenly asked Wren, "What did you just talk to them about?" ”

Wren was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you listen to the whole thing?" ”

Bazel smacked his lips: "I heard all those words, but they didn't want to get into their heads, and they ran out on their own..."

“...”

Hearing this, Wren didn't know what to say: "You knew those two just now?" ”

Bazel: "You don't know?" ”

Wren: "All I know is that bearded old man is the librarian, and there's another guy named Metternich, so I don't know." ”

Bazel snorted: "Bearded? Do you call the [Great Polymath] Master Cavo, the head of the 'Ten Legendary Demon Hunters', a bearded man? ”

Sure enough, it's the one who guessed...

Wren just wanted to burst into foul language, went to such a library, and met every day, but he didn't realize that it was a top master.

He said with some resentment: "That person is Master Kavo? You've been to the library with me so many times, why don't you remind me? ”

If I had been reminded earlier, I would have hugged my thighs...

Who knew that an old man with a random librarian would be so big!

To Wren's surprise, Bazel shook his head: "I haven't seen him once in librarianship. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Wren was stunned.

But the old man who reads a book that I see every time is a ghost?

Bazel seemed to guess Wren's doubts and explained, "Master Kavo's current magical cultivation has reached a level that no one in the world can understand. If he doesn't want to be seen, he won't be seen. Especially in that library. ”

Wren: "What's so special about the library?" ”

Bazel showed a hint of jealousy in his eyes and said, "That is the most powerful magic tower in the Radiant City." ”

After a pause, Bazel continued: "Even just now, what you saw was not his main body, but just a projection of a magic clone. ”

"Can you beat Master Cavo in your heyday?"

"You're asking a stupid question."

“...”

"And who is that guy named Metternich?"

"The staff around the Grand Prince of Omar... A very spooky guy! I didn't guess it before, but today I know for sure that he should be the 'Gambler Sequence' Oratu A. Disciple of K. Kant. The gambler sequence is only passed down from generation to generation, and when that guy shows up, Kant should be dead. ”

Sure enough, it is another "Top Ten Legends"!

Wren wasn't surprised, but what he was curious about was: The staff around the eldest prince actually came to deliver a letter to Yumir?

He looked at the thin envelope in his hand again, and his gaze was a little complicated.

It's not easy to be a "postman" yourself.
