"It was a shaman just now, but what about this one?"

Ye Qingxuan flipped the second card. On the card, a man in a top hat with waist-high blond hair stands on top of gold, silver, and treasure, and gems falling from his fingertips like sand.

"Trader, it is said that with him you can buy everything, as long as you have money. Impossible things can happen. ”

Bai Xi lowered his voice and said, "Some people also say that Anglu's throne was bought by King Arthur from him with his own sword. ”

"How is that possible. ”

Ye Qingxuan was amused: "Even if it's true, no one can live until now, right?"

"Maybe if he has everything, it's not strange to have an elixir of immortality, right?"

“...... You have a point. ”

Ye Qingxuan opened it again: "This?"

The card has a blood-red background, and in the midst of the severed limbs, a shadow stands faintly, looking dark and bloody.

"Well, this is a killer who has disappeared. It is said that he received money to do things, and dared to accept any order, including the assassination of the Minister of Defense. Once he is dispatched, he will not leave anything alive, and anyone who sees him will have his head unscrewed. He was nicknamed 'The Butcher of Flesh' because he left behind scenes that resembled a slaughterhouse workshop. ”

“......”

The white spirit that lives in the church - the Soul Eater, the mad murderer who disembowels ** in the dark of night - the Ripper, the woman who abducts children to raise demons - the ghost mother, the resurrected dead who wander the cemetery area, the monster that likes to suck blood - the vampire, the debt collector with his arm can take the soul - the ghost hand, the black shadow that gallops in the sky at midnight - the ghost carriage......

These are the top 10 legends of Avalon.

"Wait, it's only nine?" Ye Qingxuan counted with his fingers and found that it was true, it was indeed nine.

"Oh, there's one more. ”

At the mention of this, Bai Xi's eyebrows fluttered and he was not interested, and opened the last card.

On the board, there is a dark shadow of the Midnight Clock Tower. In the darkness, it was as if something was wriggling and running by.

"This is the last legend, the naked man running wild through the streets of Avalon late at night. ”

“......”

In an instant, Ye Qingxuan was frightened awake.

"Your expression is so strange, are you okay?"

"I was scared. ”

Ye Qingxuan was really embarrassed to say that he had seen this neuropathy himself.

The first nine legends are all majestic, but this one is full of deep obscenity. Running naked at midnight and singing, neurotic chicken nest head! Can the aesthetics of the people of Avalon still be wanted!

"What's the last ghost card?"

He looked at the two ghost cards, but the ghost cards were not clowns, but strange and hideous buildings.

The pattern on the black ghost card is a tall tower, but when the tower is reflected in the water, it becomes a pile of corpses and bones, extending downward, like a road to hell.

"Reflection of the road of blood. ”

Bai Xi said: "It is said that this road is hidden in Avalon, which can lead to the back of Avalon, and you can see the true appearance of Avalon City when you walk into it. ”

"What about the red ghost card?"

In the boy's hand, the red ghost card was painted with the huge ruins of a city, as if it was covered with cobwebs and scorch marks, and the huge city was submerged in dust, as if it had died.

"This is the legendary Avalon. ”

Bai Xi paused and added, "-The real Avalon." ”

－

Since the end of the Dark Ages, it has been a total of three hundred years.

Two hundred and seventy years ago, King Arthur came here after rejecting the holy name given by the Holy City and founded the first city of Holy Anglo. This is the earliest legend of Avalon.

No one knows what it was any longer.

Some scholars have studied the stratigraphic sections in the surviving ancient books and come to the strange conclusion that three hundred years ago, the altitude of Avalon was more than 600 meters below the normal altitude.

Other words...... The island was supposed to lie dormant in the sea.

But according to recent measurements of the aetheric decay of ancient buildings in Avalon, they have generally been around for more than a millennium...... Scholars are unable to explain this ridiculous contradiction, and in the end the argument is drowned in various evidences. But this legend has been handed down, and it has become more and more detailed until now.

Some say that Avalon was originally a city occupied by evil gods, eternally silent at the bottom of the sea. It rises in the battle of glory, and the world is about to be destroyed. Later, the Hundred Eyes were badly damaged and left their lair, but its secrets still sleep in the city.

Others say it was a conspiracy by the Burgundians, while others support the recent continental drift doctrine that Avalon is an island that floated from elsewhere.

"No matter how you hear it, it doesn't feel reliable. The people of Avalon are so boring. ”

"yes, let's play cards, let's play cards. Bai Xiye shuffled the cards, and his eyebrows danced: "How about I let you have a game first?" ”

Ye Qingxuan stretched out his hand expressionlessly and pulled out the poker that she had hidden from her cuff.

"It's all said, it's forbidden to go out ......"

......

Half an hour later, Ye Qingxuan already felt more and more groggy and had difficulty concentrating. It feels like a hangover, something like alcohol that is at work and gives you an overdose of excitement that makes it hard to control yourself.

Fortunately, it is still possible to think, fortunately......

"Okay, let's give the money. ”

He showed his cards and stretched out his palm with a smile: "Otherwise, sticker strips." ”

There was silence.

In the ticking sound, only Bai Xi gasped angrily.

The white notes that covered her face also trembled with her breath, like the legendary snow monster. In half an hour, she'd pretty much all of her wages for the next three years - if she had that.

"You tell me...... This is the third time you've hit a straight flush?"

Bai Xi gritted his teeth and asked, "This is the level of the third time?"

"It's the third time, yes. ”

Ye Qingxuan yawned and replied drowsily: "The first time I didn't figure out the rules and lost a month's salary, the second time I won the pants of those guys...... Since then, no one has wanted to play cards with me.

They, well, all say I'm out of thousands. ”

"You said you weren't allowed to go out of a thousand!"

Bai Xi hammered the table, leaned over and glared at him: "Where did you hide the poker? Tell me honestly! Otherwise, I will beat you again until you can't take care of yourself when you can't ......fight back."

"I didn't lie to you, I won't give a thousand. ”

Ye Qingxuan stretched out his hand and let her grope for herself. In his hand, the shuffled playing cards fell like snowflakes, like snowflakes, all over the ground.

Fifty-four playing cards, one is not much, one is not much.

There was no sign of cheating in the sleeves rolled up, between the cut nails, between the open fingers, under the table. Bai Xi rummaged through Ye Qingxuan's pockets over and over again, but found nothing.

"I've said that I won't be out of a thousand. ”

In a drowsy feeling, Ye Qingxuan finally couldn't bear the erosion of the sleeping demon, and lay on the table in a drowsiness. Before he slept heavily, he seemed to remember something, and laughed softly:

"—but I can keep cards. ”

－

"This time, please accompany me to deliver the goods. ”

"I don't know the way anyway. ”

The next day, Ye Qingxuan, who was still on crutches, was already able to walk.

He limped down the street, and Bai Xi, who was next to him, was holding the box in his arms, walking carelessly, looking around.

As if disgusted with her white hair would attract attention, she tucked her hair into her fedora, and she was still wearing Ye Qingxuan's previous clothes, like a wild child everywhere.

"However, it is not easy for Uncle Seton to be able to make a single business. ”

"You're thinking too much, it's like you're entrusting the boss with a craft clock sent from the Kingdom of Burgundy, and we're only responsible for delivery. Bai Xi pursed his lips: "If someone hadn't sent a letter to ask, it is estimated that Setton would have thrown it into the garbage heap a long time ago." ”

"Okay, I think this store will be closed by my uncle sooner or later. Ye Qingxuan was worried.

"What are you sighing for, it's none of your business. Bai Xi glanced at him, his pupils suddenly turned twice, and he had a bad idea: "Hey, cousin, how much is the clock in this box worth?"

"Although this is not an antique, but looking at the signature, it should be a very famous craftsman in the Kingdom of Burgundy, and the market price is difficult to estimate, but the latest watch movement and the amount of gold and silver used in it alone are not cheap, if the price is discounted to one-third according to the rules of the black market...... It can be sold for about 60,000 yuan. ”

Ye Qingxuan counted with his fingers, and finally nodded: "If you meet someone who knows how to do it, you can sell it for about 100,000 yuan." ”

Bai Xi was stunned, not only because of this price, but also because of Ye Qingxuan's words.

"How do you know so clearly?"

"The bookshelves in the store are full of books, won't you read them?" Ye Qingxuan turned his head and glanced at her, and knocked her head casually: "Don't use your brain, it's not empty talk that Seton said that if you get into trouble, you will send people to the hospital." ”

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet!"

"You didn't have a good time when you called me cousin, and you definitely wanted to run away with this thing, right?"

“...... Hum. ”

Bai Xi snorted coldly and didn't speak, but obviously the thief was not dead.

"On the third day I was here, someone was stealing something from the store, and Setton didn't say anything. In the afternoon, someone broke the thief's hand and returned to the store with the stolen goods. Setton's muscles aren't trained for nothing, and you don't think he's really harmless just because he's reading every day, right?"

Ye Qingxuan poured cold water on the side, and talked until the roots of the little girl's neck were hairy, and then stopped with satisfaction--it is really gratifying to stop Bai Xi from stepping into the abyss of crime for the fourth time today...... What a fart!

If she wanted to commit a crime for the fourth time a day, this girl would be completely hopeless! Except for Lao Fei's dog food, she didn't dare to do it, Ye Qingxuan didn't see anything she didn't dare to steal.

Just like now, Bai Xi squeezed into the crowd with a curious face, as if listening to the performance of street performers.

Dark-skinned artists sit cross-legged in their stalls and play the Qiang flute, a rare instrument that is quite rare. The beautiful timbre caused passers-by to nod from time to time, and then tossed the coin into the box in front of him......

Bai Xi looked down at the copper that was about to be piled up in the box, and his saliva was about to stay.

Fortunately, just before Ye Qingxuan went over to stop her, there was another thing that drew everyone's attention away.

In the distance, the high-pitched brass trumpet suddenly sounded.

The clamor of human voices came from afar.
