"It's not cheating, it's wisdom. "Huey readily paid a hundred gold vetts to Count Strias.

"You bet on all sorts of things at sea that are possible or impossible?" asked Count Strias, taking the money, with interest.

"Actually, it's more complicated than that. Xiu Yi took a sip of the juice beside him: "We bet on the wind and waves, on the monsters in the sea, on who can swim farther in the sea and dive deeper, and sometimes we even bet with our lives." For example, whoever can get closer to a certain monster, we bet on the death or life of the other party. ”

"That's too dangerous. ”

"It's also more exciting, far more exciting than some of the boring little bets now. Huey laughed, and he looked at Count Strias, "Interested in playing a big one?"

Count Sterrias frowned slightly: "How is it big?"

"It's simple. Hue set aside the juice in the glass, and then asked the maid to bring two more glasses of juice. Then he pulled a flask from his bosom and poured a little into one of the glasses.

Putting the potion away, Xiu Yi pointed to the three wine glasses and said, "I think I want to remind you that what I took out just now is a very interesting medicine called belladonna, and I'm sure many people have heard of this kind of thing. Yes, it's an interesting condensation of the rhizome of a plant, and belladonna doesn't have any special effect on its own, but when it is mixed with some special medium, it has a completely different effect. For example, if you put some of this stuff into the juice, it will produce a wonderful toxin. If a person drinks it, he will be paralyzed and paralyzed, and if he does not get treatment, he will die. And most importantly, when it enters this juice, it does not have any effect on the juice, whether it is color or taste. When you drink it, it's a glass of juice and nothing changes. ”

The nobles were a little pale.

So Xiu Yi smiled: "Of course, now that everyone sees which glass of juice I put the medicine in, they naturally won't drink it." So what if we do that?"

Huey abruptly placed three cups of juice in a tin tray, then covered them with a round lid and turned the tray around.

The tray swirled around the countertop several times, and when the lid was opened, no one knew which was the poisonous glass.

Huey looked at Count Sterrias with a grin: "Lord Count, are you interested in playing again?" I bet I can choose any cup to drink, and that cup must be non-toxic." ”

"It can't be. Count Strias's face was extremely gloomy.

"You'll have to try to find out. "Huey's attitude is very casual.

"You're kidding your own life. ”

"That's where the excitement of the game comes in. ”

Count Sterrias looked at the three bottles of juice and shook his head slightly, "This is simply crazy, Master Dardanelle. ”

"Every child of the Sea Family must learn to wrestle with the wind and waves and struggle with death from birth. Our attitude towards life and death is much lighter than you might think. ”

Count Sterrias swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and he didn't know when the center of the game had gradually shifted to him and Siseda Daniel.

And now, the young master said lightly that he would choose one of the three glasses of juice and drink it, not afraid of the possible consequences. On the contrary, it was himself, but he was about to be shocked by the other party.

As the warden of Spark Prison, Count Sterrias is also a well-known big man in Royo, and he doesn't want to be intimidated by such a fledgling boy.

A thought suddenly flashed through Count Strias's mind, and he cried out: "Oh hell, I was almost fooled by you, you have the antidote, right?"

Huey burst out laughing, and he began to applaud, "It's amazing, Master Strrias, you see the crux of the matter. ”

"Don't try to play such a trick in front of me. Count Sterrias said proudly.

"Then I'll make one more promise, if I pick the poisonous one, I won't take any antidote. But if I win, Lord Count Strias, I have heard that you are a lover of famous paintings, and that you have many famous paintings in your collection. Interestingly, I was also interested in collecting famous paintings. Over the years, I've had a soft spot for Alec Dortri's work, so I've been collecting it everywhere. I heard that in your collection, there is a work by Alec Dortri ...... "The Saint of the Sunset"?"

As soon as they heard the name of the Sunset Maiden, everyone began to jump in horror.

"You want a picture of the Saintess of the Sunset?" Count Sterrias also thought a little incredulous: "Last year, someone offered me 8,000 gold vets, but I didn't sell it. ”

"Then I'll give 10,000 Kingwitt. ”

Everyone gasped.

10,000 Kingwitt, if you put it in modern times, is the price of 2 million.

"Are you crazy? Viscount Radur, who was on the side, advised Huey: "You are playing too much. ”

"Nope. Xiu Yi shook his head: "Viscount Radur, even if it is a rude and barbaric maritime family, he also understands the meaning of a promise. Since I said it, then I must do it. Count Strias, would you like to make this bet with me? If I win, I want the Sunset Virgin, and if I lose, I'll pay you 10,000 gold, how about I? In terms of winning, I'm nearly seventy percent of the way I win, and if you think that's unfair, I can re-raise. ”

"No, that's fair, if you lose, you lose more than just money. I can agree to this bet. Count Strias was a little angry, he didn't expect this kid in front of him to dare to provoke him like this. Since he was so sure, he would also go to see how Siseda Danielle could make sure that he would not pick out the poisonous juice.

"Thank you so much for your generosity. Huey picked up one of the juices and drank it.

The game restarts.

But everyone's heart is uneasy.

It takes time for belladonna to take effect, and until then, no one can be sure whether Hue drank poison or juice.

They have to wait.

Although the game continues, every big man is "carefully watching Xiuyi's face" at this moment.

Huey was always calm.

"It must be admitted, Young Master Dardanelle, that you are a very remarkable person. I'm sure there is probably no one in your age group who can compare to you. At least I've never been so calm without knowing my life or death. Count Strias sighed in admiration.

"Ever since my father died, my uncle has been nurturing me with all his might. I have a family burden on my shoulders, and many times I have to study hard. It will take a considerable amount of time for the Dardanelles to have their own status in the Empire, so I dare not slack off. Xiu Yi replied very seriously.

In that case, you should be more responsible for your own life. ”

"The wind and waves at sea are very big and there are many risks, and everyone in the sea family has been in the wind and waves since childhood, and has long learned to look down on life and death. In the face of huge interests, we have the courage to risk our lives. The picture of the Virgin of the Sunset means a lot to me, and I am more than willing to take a big gamble to get it. ”

"But if you lose......"

"I'm not going to lose. Huey replied in the affirmative.

This made Count Strias some.

How can the young man in front of him be sure that he will win?

"I can tell you why I'm so sure I won't lose, but I hope that doesn't excuse you to deny the bet. "Xiu Yi said.

"No problem. I would also like to hear how you can be sure that the juice you drink is non-toxic. ”

"It's simple. Huey replied, "It is this poison, which, as I said, does not produce any change in color or taste when it enters the juice." So, how can I be sure that I won't choose the poisonous one?" Huey smiled and looked at the big people around him, "Actually, there is a way, that is, I have drunk one of them alone before. Of course, it was later filled, and on the face of it, it was indistinguishable from the juice in other cups. But let's not forget one thing. That is, the juice has sediment. Because this sediment is heavier than water, they usually remain at the bottom of the cup. When the juice in the cup is drunk repeatedly, there will be more sediment in that cup than in the cup that was just poured into the cup......"

Xiui slowly raised the cup in his hand, which still had some juice sediment left in it.

Huey continued, "Also, I used the rim with a little mimeograph, which is the mark of lip balm. I used some of this stuff before I came, just to prevent chapped lips. As you can see, I didn't drip the poison into the cup I used, so I just need to find the juice I drank and drink it. So I can be sure that this is the cup I used before, and it's non-toxic. ”

"Oh, what the hell. Count Sterrias groaned.

After saying this, Huey looked at Count Strias, "That's why I'm sure I'll win, Lord Count. The prophet game is actually a trap game, we design all kinds of traps for the other party to drill into it, whether it is winning or losing, the other party cannot go back. Of course, you can also design some fake traps, and if I debunk them, then you will still be the one who loses. It's the Sea Family's favorite game to play, and I think you'll love it now. ”

Count Strias's voice was gloomy: "Yes, I'm starting to like this game, it's really fun. ”

"So our bet ......"

"Come to my office tomorrow and I'll give you the painting. ”

"Spark Prison?"

"Yes, Spark Prison. Sterrias took out a document from his bosom and put it in Huey's hand: "This is the pass, with it, you can come to Spark Prison to find me." ”

"No problem, sir. Xiu Yi replied respectfully, with a mysterious smile on his face.

In the dim light, Count Sterrias stared fiercely at the young man in front of him, and no one knew what he was thinking.
