Chapter 50 (The Game)
At night, the casino in the west of the city is also the only casino in the whole of Corredas. Clark was sitting with a gray-robed woman, gambling with two others.
"Both, you've already lost twenty gold coins to us, do you want to continue??Look at the clothes on your bodies, you don't look like rich people, hurry up and go home!!" The gray-robed woman smiled coldly and said with great disdain to the two losers opposite.
Although the two of them couldn't see the face and expression of the gray-robed woman under the gray robe, it was not difficult to hear from the very disdainful tone and words full of contempt that she was laughing at the two of them now!!
"Are you bullying the two of them too much??" Just as the two orcs who had lost money were so angry that they wanted to leave, a man with his whole body hidden under a black magic robe walked out and smiled at the gray-robed woman.
"Lich??" The gray-robed woman first sensed the rank of the black-robed man. Seeing that the person was a lich, an eleventh-order lich!!, he smiled gloomily and said, "Why is this lich-lord trying to help these two orcs who lost money and bully us and our couple??"
"I don't dare to bully, but if it's torture, I'm still a little interested!!" The black-robed lich first smiled, then pointed to a table not far away, and invited, "How about it, do you dare to gamble with a lich?"
The gray-robed woman glanced at the table, then asked in a cold voice, "What's the stake??"
Hearing the gray-robed woman's question, the black-robed lich immediately laughed, and after a moment, he smiled, "Fate!!"
"Lich-sama, are you a little too much??This bet is not fair at all!!You are a lich with a life box, and even if you die, you can rely on it to resurrect. But both of us are alive, and when we die, we are really dead, even if you promise to transform us into undead spirits after our death. It's not worth dying!!" Hearing the bet of the black-robed lich, the gray-robed woman subconsciously glanced at Clark beside her, and couldn't help but feel that the lich in front of her was the person Clark had offended before!!
"Hehe, your husband used to lose money in my casino, but he hasn't paid it back. According to the unwritten rules of the Imperial Casino, I have the right to kill your husband, and I also have the right to kill you!!" The lich sneered, then took out a copy of the note, handed it to the gray-robed woman, and asked with a sneer, "Look at your husband's signature on this??"
The gray-robed woman looked at the note and was so angry that she couldn't do it. But the person opposite is forced to be a lich, so he has to give in. He had a headache and asked, "What do you want?"
"It's very simple, I don't want the money now, I just want his life!!, I heard that you and he have just been married, and I can't be that wicked person. So I'm going to give you a chance now!!As long as you win, I'll send him and you. If you lose... I'm sorry, then let's die!!" Seeing that the gray-robed woman was shaking her shoulders with anger, the black-robed lich immediately laughed.
"What are we betting on??" the gray-robed woman asked in a deep breath, then asked in a cold voice.
"We had the staff shuffle the cards, and then we drew three more cards each, and whoever had the most points would win. Of course, in order to prevent cheating, the person who draws and flops cards must be this staff member!!!I wonder if you and your wife have any objections??" the black-robed lich smiled, pointed to a deck of pokers on the table not far away, and said a gamble.
Hearing this bet, Clark and the gray-robed woman were stunned. Then the two of them stared at the playing cards on the table, silent for a long time, as if thinking about something. But soon, the two of them stopped thinking and agreed to the gamble of the black-robed lich!!
In the eyes of the two of them, this gamble is really nothing. However, the two of them thought differently. Clark felt that this kind of gambling had great drawbacks, and it was easy for gamblers like him to remember the position of the cards and win. And the gray-robed woman thinks that this kind of gambling method is easy to be used by mages who know space magic, as long as the cards in their hands are exchanged with those on the table, they can win the lich!!
Unfortunately, both of them underestimated the lich. They know space magic, they can remember cards, can't they be lichs?
"Is it okay now??" a casino card maker, holding a new deck of cards, prepares for this life-and-death gamble.
"Of course!!! I saw that the deck of cards was quickly washed in the hands of the poker player, and it was quickly washed, and the surface was flat on the table.
"Let's choose first!!" the lich looked at the silent face for a while, and smiled at the gray-robed woman and Clark.
"From right to left, the seventh and twenty-fifth. Clark and the woman in the gray robe were not hypocritical, and after a direct discussion, they chose the first two cards.
"Diamond ten and club J. After the cardmaker turned over the cards chosen by Clark and the woman in the gray robe, those who were there gasped. 10 plus J is not a small hand, unless the Lich picks cards above 10, otherwise, it will be very difficult to win!!
"From left to right, the fourth and thirty-second. The black-robed lich looked at Clarke's and gray-robed woman's cards, smiled, and said the cards he had chosen.
"The queen of spades and the 9 of clubs. With this flop, everyone gasped again. Apparently the lich did it on purpose!!He deliberately chose two cards that add up to the same value as the opposing side in order to put pressure on the opposing side.
"Awesome!!I just don't know what will happen when I wait a minute!!" The gray-robed woman looked at the lich and snorted heavily, then saw her with her hands pinned behind her back, looked at the cards on the table, and chose "Right to left, seventeen!!"
"The queen of hearts. "Now the card that the cardmaker turned over was replaced just now when the gray-robed woman pinned her hands behind her back. The reason why I didn't change K was because I was afraid of being pointed out. However, even if this is the case, things are not good on the lich's side.
"To be honest, I don't like this kind of game from the otherworld, it reminds me of a very unpleasant incident when I was a child. The lich sighed at the cards on the table, then chosen, "The second one on the left." ”
"K of hearts!!"
With the flop of the card man, a burst of purple light suddenly flashed on the gray-robed woman's body, and then disappeared. And Clark was standing there now, not daring to move.
"I said, we'll see!!"
