23. People who are contrary to the times (19)

21 o'clock, Black.Jack.

The big and small kings are drawn in the deck, and the 52 cards are played. At the beginning everyone is dealt two cards, one face up (face up) and one face down (face down). You can choose to deal additional cards, skip or stand to win or lose, and the sum of the cards in your hand is close to 21 points wins, and the sum of points more than 21 is a loss. Cards J, Q, and K are considered as the number 10, and Ace can be treated as 1 or 11 as needed.

The above are the basic rules of 21 points, and as the spread of this game expands, various original rules have been added to different regions.

The 21 points that Li Lin and Ji Er are doing now are variations of the original rules.

There are three new rules.

1. There is no dealer on the field, and both sides participate as the next player;

2. A round of wins and losses, a total of five rounds of games;

3. There are no hidden cards on the field;

"Is there anything else you don't know?"

"Who's going to deal the cards? No matter which side of the people is, it's equivalent to telling the other party to 'hurry up and get out of the way'. ”

"It's going to hurt your feelings if you say that. Alternatively, you can choose one of them to deal the cards. I'm also going to let the soldiers out to prevent unfortunate incidents like someone who can't control their fingers and goes off when they threaten the dealer with a gun. ”

spread out his hands and put on a wry smile, looking like the common losers in casinos, but there was no one who would really regard him as a swinger at the scene.

Just as the Holy Maiden of Giel entered the Palace of Bourbon with a large army of the Church and was about to grasp the overall situation, a small team of men and horses suddenly appeared, suppressed the entire Bourbon Palace in less than a minute, and then forced the Holy Maiden of Giel to order the withdrawal of Iscarho and the Purge.

How thick of nerves does it take to treat this monster as an ordinary prodigal?

Having said that, this one's nerves are extremely strong, who has ever seen a supreme boss come to the enemy's base camp in person, play cards with the opponent's supreme boss, and drive his own personal guards out of the house in order to show justice, and face a fully armed enemy himself? Probably a madman and this one will do this.

Since the enemy so graciously sent the head to the eye, then ......

More than one armed priest moved his hand to the location where the weapon was hidden, while others carefully observed the opponent's movements, the exit of the room, and the location of the furnishings, and drew up a plan for disengagement, while slowly accumulating strength towards the waist and legs.

"I still don't understand. ”

The clear voice sounded, and the priests' attention was forced to divide part of it to listen to the saint's speech.

"With your identity and strength, it's okay to annihilate us, or if you have any plans, you don't have to end up in person. You should have a lot of suitable talent under you. ”

Playing with the chips, casually looking at the small discs at the edges that were divided by red and black, Ji El asked:

"Is that good? If the Supreme Commander leaves the command center at a critical juncture in the war, even if you have a good enough General Staff to solve all kinds of problems without causing morale to be shaken or anything, and it is not a good thing that the top decision-maker is absent while there are peace talks and wars. ”

"Generally speaking, that's right. But well...... It doesn't matter anymore. ”

Li Lin held a Jarforheimmark between his fingers, and with a flick of it, the fine print burst into flames, lighting the cigar from the dictator's mouth.

The firelight flickered on and off, and a long puff of smoke flickered off the blackened fragments of banknotes, the blackglassed dictator sneered

"Whether it's negotiation or war, these things at the political level are meaningless. After all, there is no house and dealer, the table has also been overturned, who cares who wins or loses the previous hand, who is out of the thousand, who out of the thousand is caught. The slashers are busy copying the guys, the fleeing ones are rushing to retreat, and the people watching the play are busy looking for the bench melon seeds. Who cares about that?"

"Dictator, Divine Will Agent, personally going down to destroy the world? ”

"It's not about destroying the world, it's about execution. ”

Re-sucking the cigar, his fingers tapping into the tabletop.

"With all that said, can you deal the cards?"

Giel nodded to the side, and a nun slowly walked out.

Wearing sunglasses and a white cane, his every move reveals a calmness that does not match his twenties, and his pale chestnut hair peeks out from under his turban.

"Sister Leia, I beg you to deal the cards for me and His Excellency the Dictator. ”

"Obey the commandment, Your Majesty. ”

After bending down to salute, the nun who put her cane aside took the poker and pulled it with both hands like a hand organ, and the 54 cards quickly bounced from her left hand to the palm of her right hand, and the continuous dancing cards looked like a small accordion, like a chain of bullets quickly engulfed by a machine gun.

, also known as pulling cards or machine gun shuffle, is a common technique used by magicians and casino dealers. The higher-ranking shuffler can remember the order and suit of the deck in an instant. If it is a high-level casino shuffler known as the "golden finger", it can not only work as precisely and quickly as a machine, remember the order of the cards accurately, but also shuffle the cards into the order they need when shuffling the cards.

Normally, it is unlikely that the church will have such professionals, but after watching Sister Leia's performance, this common sense does not seem to be so absolute......

"Under the crown, there is no problem with the cards. ”

"Let's get started. ”

"Yes. ”

The first game, the beginning.

Li Lin's cards are clubs and queens and 5 hearts, with 15 points, 100 chips, and 20 bets

The cards in her hand were 7 of hearts and 8 of clubs, also 15 points, 100 chips, and 20 bets.

Both sides have the same number of points, and the points are also very subtle.

The cards within the safety range are A~6, 23 cards, and the cards that may be blown out are 7~K, 25 cards, and the risk probability is not high, and it is not low to say low. Whether to continue to add or suspend trading is difficult to decide.

At such a time, is it necessary to think carefully, calculate and choose, or-

"Suspended. ”

Seemingly unwilling to take more risks in the first round of testing the waters, Ji El resolutely withdrew.

"Deal. ”

Li Lin tapped on the table, and an impeccable smile urged Sister Leia.

The card slipped in front of Li Lin, turned over the front, and a square 9 appeared on the table.

"It's a good start in the first game, I'm really embarrassed. ”

Slightly covering the corners of her mouth, Ji El let out a laugh of eating, leaving a childish face with childish movements to brew a pitiful atmosphere, even if the angry person sees the holy woman who covers her mouth and smiles, she will calm her anger and be healed in that smile.

Putting 20 chips in front of him, he said with a smile on his face:

"It seems that I have been favored by Lady Luck today, but Your Excellency the Dictator, and I have had a bad start - which does not bode well in a casino that pays attention to fortune. Maybe your god of fortune rolled the dice on the unlucky side?"

"Lady of Luck...... Maybe His Majesty is really favored by this god today. The statement that gambling pays attention to luck and has a bad start is not a good sign, which can also be understood below. It's just ......."

Facing many smug and sneering glances, Li Lin showed a bewitching smile.

"The lower part is an atheist, and the lower is more willing to believe in something definite than the favor of the god of luck. ”
