Chapter 233: Novice vs. Expert
"'8' ......" Delano looked at the side of the dice facing up, thought for a moment, and pushed the card engraved with "Behemoth" forward.
"Attack damage is 5!? Damn it! ”
The opponent slapped the head on the head, pushed the hand standing in front of him aside, and left the table helplessly.
"The third round is over! Mr. Delano has won again! The host announced the results of the game, and the otherwise silent crowd suddenly shouted wildly, and the whole tavern was suddenly drowned out with shouts and applause.
Dino, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly pushed away the crowd and came to the table, and slapped Draenor in the back, "You are really talented!" I thought it was just me in bad shape, but it seems that they are right! ”
"It hurts...... Actually, I was a little surprised. Draenor stood up and smirked, suddenly reflexing.
"Them?"
"It's those Perod coaches! Listen to them, newcomers are often more likely to win than experts, because no matter how good the technique is, it can't match the good luck of the newcomer! ”
Dino was so excited that he almost jumped up, pulled Draenor to turn around and walked to the seat by the fireplace, and handed him the spirit, "You've reached the finals, then you just need to abstain and let the game end, and our money will be in hand!" Here, a toast! ”
"No, I need to stay awake." Draenor smiled awkwardly and put the glass back on the table, "The game isn't over yet. ”
"You...... Do you want to keep fighting!? Dino's eyes widened, and he quickly swallowed his drink and persuaded him, "Hey! Do you know who your next opponent will be? The famous prize hunter Rafais! He's won the championship three years in a row, and no matter how lucky you are, you can't win! ”
"Rafas? Haven't heard of ......."
Draenor shook his head, he wasn't carried away by the succession of victories, he just wanted to embolden himself. If it is only for the sake of the thousand altruistic and good things, it will be accepted, so as not to lose the reputation of a defeated man; But if it was to seize the opportunity to learn about divinity, things were completely different.
"I probably don't have a chance to win, I know that. But I'm also a knight, and to a knight, it's no different from a coward. Draenor took the mint water on the other side and drank it down, slammed the empty cup on the table, and smiled at the captain.
"Good luck then."
"What an idiot...... "The captain shook his head with a wry smile and put the liquor back on the table.
"Finally, the most exciting moment has come, facing our expert, Mr. Rafas, as the new Mr. Rao Delano can finally achieve the final victory?"
Once again, the host was jubilant, and to applause and whistles, Delano sat back down at the table, looking directly at his opponent.
"Mr. Rafais, I have long admired my name." He greeted the other party politely, and by the way, he eased his tension.
"Passing the prize...... As a newcomer, your poker skills really deserve praise. Lafas, dressed in a wolf-fur coat, nodded, moved the cigar in his mouth to the side, and pushed the dice forward with his fingers, "I'll give it to you first." Let's get started, let me see your poker skills. ”
Unlike previous competitions, the bards in the taverns played instruments to set the mood during the finals. For the guests around them, it was clearly a great pleasure for them, and everyone was thrilled as if they were part of a tense competition...... But in Delano's view, even the most pleasant melody is just an annoying noise at the moment.
The game was a tough one, and as an expert with a three-year winning streak, Lafas versatilly felt like a mouse being toyed with in a cat's paw, and no matter what cards he played, he couldn't escape the opposition's expectations. And when he feels that he has the upper hand, his opponent will play his strongest card to end the game.
"Hmmm......"
Facing the deck in front of him, Draenor actually broke out in a cold sweat. He glanced sideways at the scorer in the host's hand, it was already a 2-2 draw, and he had to win the next match point in order to get the answer from the scholar......
"I don't have a rose in my hand, and the opponent's deck is halfway played, which means he still has the most offensive card left."
Draenor clenched the dice in his hand tightly, and there were only two possibilities in front of him: one was to point the numbers to the other party again, and wait for the other party to play the cards before considering it; The second is that the numbers will point to their own deck, and they will play the most aggressive cards in their hands to gamble on luck.
"Good luck with Xinrao...... If it does exist, use it all up in this one......"
He said inwardly and tossed the dice onto the table. The spinning dice shimmered with a metal-specific streamer and came to a slow, steady stop.
"The number '4'! Let the horses come! ”
With that, he pushed the "Growler" with 8 combat power at hand to the center of the table.
"I bet the next time the dice will stop at my numbers." Rafas grinned and flung the dice to the table. As he did, the dice were shown on the number "13".
"Shhh...... What an unlucky number! The opponent rubbed his eyes, his fingers against the wooden card, and he refused to play it.
As expected, the only attack card left on the opponent's hand was the "Rose" with a combat power of "1"! Draenor clenched his fists silently, as if he had seen the smile of the Goddess of Victory. Sure enough, Xing Yueping is still inclined to his side!
"Hehehe...... You feel like you've won, don't you? ”
Just as he was preparing for victory, Rafas suddenly sneered and gently pushed the card onto the table.
"Looks like your good luck has been used up, sorry, I won this time."
"Dragon King Whale"!? Damn, he's got a card left! Draenor bit his lower lip and punched his thigh, shaking his head helplessly.
"Mr. Rafas has a stunner! The record was broken and Mr. Rafas had a four-year winning streak! ”
The crowd chanted again, and Draenor left his seat and returned to Liunuo's side with a wry smile, "No way, he is indeed an expert, and my good luck has been used up." ”
"Oh, you're not, just do your best. The second place winner will get at least 500 deli, and that's enough! It's just about entertainment, it's about participation! The captain enthusiastically pulled out his chair for him and filled his glass to the point of overflowing.
"Drink! For your victory, for a beautiful winter! ”
"For the luck of the newbie." Draenor uttered in a self-deprecating tone, and drank the liquor down.
"Mr. Delanor, this is your bonus." The host himself ran over and handed the bag full of gold coins to Lang Lano's hand
"Thanks, it's a shame I didn't make it to the championship, but at least I had a good time." Draenor smiled contentedly, it seemed that he didn't have a chance to get an answer about divinity, but he finally realized the relief he had not experienced in a long time, enough to cover the tension that had been tormenting him in his mind
"Where, your outstanding poker skills have really opened our eyes and enlivened the guests, thank you and look forward to your participation again next year!"
"Hmm." If there's a chance in the coming year...... Draenor raised an eyebrow, relieved. He slung his trench coat over his shoulder, turned and walked with Dino towards the door.
"Uh...... Wait a minute, sir, one more thing! ”
Just as he pushed the door and left, Draenor suddenly stopped, turned his head and waited for the host to continue.
"Mr. Hearst has expressed interest in your poker skills, can you have a drink with him if you can?"
