Chapter 287 God of Gamblers, Saint of Gamblers, Monster of Gamblers
Moonlight seal land.
Wayne set up a small table and said to Meghan, who was hiding her head and face: "Who is that, Black Dragon, you are talking about you. If you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do. Why don't you play a game of poker with the two of us!"
Today is July 22, the third day since Wayne arrived in the frozen continent.
The frozen continent of Antarctica is in the cold season of polar night. There is no alternation between day and night. Calculating dates is of little significance here. Wayne has strict requirements on his biological clock due to his personal obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Wayne and Auston arrived in the Frozen Continent on the same day. On the first day, the Dark Knight was introduced by the Natural Knight and was severely punished by the substitute teacher Moonlight Knight.
Wayne looked at Bai Yezhenyan with incomparable envy, and by extracting information, he learned that Moon Knight Delaine was extremely addicted to cards, and he prepared a trick according to his liking.
For this reason, he specially found Megan and asked Auston for a treasure from her.
The next day, the Dark Knight's substitute teacher became Leo the Sun Knight. Wayne was worried about being recognized by the other party, so the timing was not right, so he missed the excitement of the Sun Knight beating the Dark Knight.
On the third day, the happy cycle was Delian's turn again. Wayne was not absent and moved all the prepared props to the Moonlight Seal.
Tables and chairs, playing cards, chips, drinks, snacks...
It has to be said that the Dark Church’s camp lacks everything, especially playing cards and chips, there are as many as you need.
According to the elves, because of the hobbies of the three knights, playing cards are hard currency in the frozen land, and they cannot be short of playing cards even if they lack food or clothing.
Wayne suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Mulla came and left in a hurry. He only stayed at the Church of Nature headquarters for a while, and rushed back to the frozen continent without even eating. Guess it was his poker friends who urged him to hurry, and he was addicted to poker. Also big.
All joking aside, the elves of the Dark Church did serve the three knights very comfortably. They only had to stick to the seal, and the dark elves took care of the rest, so they didn't need to worry about it at all.
Comparatively speaking, regarding the situation at the Church of Nature headquarters, if it were Mulla who replaced Wayne, he would also be willing to stay in the Frozen Continent.
"A 2."
"3, take care of it."
"No, that's not how it is played. This game is called Landlord Fighting. 2 to 3 wins. Let me say it again. Landlord Fighting is two civilians fighting against an aristocratic landlord..."
Because Megan got the script in advance, she pretended to decline again and again, and finally joined the poker game. In this game, she and Senna teamed up, and the evil landlord was Wayne.
After two games, Megan and Senna felt that they were not strong enough and playing Landlord was boring. Wayne decisively changed the method of play and replaced it with the more popular "Black Jack", which is also known as thirteen cards.
The three of them were playing cards, with the Moon Knight versus the Dark Knight in the background. The scene was spectacular.
In the field, Delaine's silver armor was like the moon, her sword was as bright as a drill, and she danced a thin sword with lightness and power. With her silver hair flying, her graceful figure was like the moonlight dancing in the night sky, both soft and sharp.
Auston wears a black light armor, centering on himself, spreading out the boundless darkness.
The face is red and the eyes are ferocious, like a giant beast standing in the shadows, and the twilight desperate situation is like the incarnation of darkness, swallowing up everything in its path with the force of a violent storm.
The two knights clashed, moonlight and darkness colliding.
Delaine did not use Bai Ye Zhenyan, and condensed a waning moon thin sword with one hand. The silver tracks were like the moonlight at dawn, cutting into pieces the surrounding darkness;
Auston was probably affected by domestic violence, and opened his eyes wide. Dahe's offensive was extremely violent, and the twilight desperation turned into black lightning, releasing terrifying and shocking dark light with every swing.
The fighting styles of the two are completely different. Delian is calm and calm, has superb swordsmanship and flexible melee skills. Whenever he is shrouded in darkness, he can easily open a breakthrough.
There is a huge difference in the nature of life. Even though Delaine specializes in flexible movement, her speed, strength and even neurological reactions have formed a crushing advantage over Auston. If it were not a sparring but a life and death fight, Auston would have already sent it.
The combat experience of the two sides is not on the same level, and the combat skills are completely different. Auston knows very well that compared with his skills, he is destined to be completely defeated. Only with stronger power and deeper darkness can he continue to suppress Delian's power. Attack until the darkness completely swallows the moonlight.
This kind of fighting method is what Auston longs for. He uses the pressure brought by Delaine and Leo to constantly oppress himself, endure and understand more pain, and become a qualified Dark Knight.
For the sake of his wife and children, Auston was willing to risk everything regardless of whether his body could bear it or not.
boom!
The light of darkness turned into a giant hand covering the sky, rumbling and engulfing Delian's delicate figure. The next second, silver patterns bloomed, and the big hand of darkness split into two.
Delaine walked out slowly, pointed his rapier at the ground, and sneered: "I thought that after a day, you would make some progress, but the result is that you are still so rough, only attacking with brute force. Your understanding of the darkness is not deep enough."
"I win, hand over the chips!"
"..."
The corners of Delaine's eyes twitched slightly. The noise on the sidelines made her feel uncomfortable all over. She just wanted to say, moonlight versus darkness. In such a serious occasion, could you respect the atmosphere?
She took a deep breath: "Dark Knight, how did Leo teach you? Could he have been..."
"Awesome, as expected of me, no one else is lucky, this card is really good!"
"Always, always..."
Playing cards all the time.
Delian was furious, looked at the sidelines with his eyebrows, and roared: "You three, please be quiet. This is a place where seals are guarded. Either go play cards somewhere else, or keep your mouths shut!"
After saying that, he snorted coldly, turned to look at Auston, and poured out his anger on the Dark Knight.
Crackling!
There was an uproar!
Today's sparring ended half an hour earlier than the first day. Auston lay on the ground like a dead dog, panting for a long time before he got used to the pain in his body.
He stood up slowly, leaning on Twilight Despair, politely thanked him, and left silently.
Megan's mind was not on the card table. When she saw that today's practice was over, she decisively put away the cards and stepped forward to help Auston.
The scene between the two of them cuddling together was enough to give Xifei a headache.
Wayne didn't know how to do it. He regretfully put down his cards and said to Senna: "What a pity. It's rare that I had a lot of luck today, and it ended before I could enjoy it. I'm not bragging. With my luck today, I will lose even if the God of Gamblers comes." A bankrupt."
"Boy, you are so arrogant!"
Delaine walked towards the card table angrily, and when he saw a thick pile of chips piled up in front of Wayne, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
It looks awesome!
However, the opponent has been too many, and there is nothing to be proud of in the rape game. She can do it.
"Sir Delian, I'm very sorry to have disturbed you just now. We are leaving now." Wayne packed up his chips and looked like he was leaving in a hurry.
Delaine opened her mouth, addicted to cards, and wanted Wayne to play a few games with her.
But the knight's arrogance prevented her from opening her mouth. She could only stare to show her dissatisfaction, and pretended to get out of here.
At this time, Senna, who has high emotional intelligence, tugged on Wayne's sleeve: "You said you were lucky today. Even if the God of Gamblers comes, you can't win. Why don't you invite Lord Delaine to play two games? Listen to the elves in the camp, Lord Delaine’s card skills are very good.”
Yes, with some discernment, no wonder he can become the oracle high priest!
Delane snorted coldly and made no statement, waiting for Wayne to take the initiative to invite her.
"No, it has been disturbing the Lord Knight for a long time, and she also has to guard the seal. The task is arduous and no small matter. She has no time to play cards with us."
Wayne whispered to Senna, then laughed and scratched his head: "Lord Delian, I'm very sorry. She didn't mean to offend. You know, dragon blood always talks about whatever comes to mind."
"Idiot, Lord Delaine is very skilled at poker and this is a rare opportunity. You should let her teach you two moves." Senna winked at Wayne desperately.
After looking at each other several times, Wayne's doubts turned into sudden realization, and he said doubtfully: "Sir Delian, how about you sit down and play a few games?"
"Haha, young man is very courageous. Since you sincerely invite me, I will reluctantly give you a few pointers."
Under Wayne's warm invitation, Delaine slowly took his seat and said: "You are the heir of Mulla and the future natural knight. For the sake of Mullah, I will not hold you responsible for disturbing the training today. Remember." Stay here, it won’t be the same next time.”
"You are so kind."
Wayne nodded repeatedly and distributed the chips after taking his seat. While shuffling the cards, he asked curiously: "You need to personally guard the seal. Is it really okay to accompany me to fool around?"
"No problem, as long as I'm still sitting here."
Delaine waved her hand and told Wayne to hurry up. She was almost starving to death after not playing cards for a long time.
I wish I could swallow the chips on the spot!
After confirming that there was no problem, Wayne started the card game. Delaine was overjoyed and lost five games in a row.
I was so defeated that my face was blue.
"It's impossible, it shouldn't be like this..."
Delaine muttered and asked herself to shuffle the cards, but the result was still the same. As long as she didn't cheat, Wayne would get whatever cards he wanted. She was so lucky that she had no friends.
Not only do you have no friends, you are so lucky that you will be called an orphan wherever you go!
"Damn it, there's no reason to lose everything. Did you cheat?"
Delaine was defeated repeatedly, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If she didn't cheat, Wayne must have cheated.
As a Moon Knight, Delaine still has some moral integrity. Facing a junior knight like Wayne, he is obviously eager to make a comeback and win big, but he never chooses to cheat.
If it were Mula and Leo of the same level, she would only sneer twice, and everyone would use their own methods.
"Lord Delian, I am really lucky today, and there is nothing I can do about it..."
A moment later, Wayne had chips placed in front of him. Facing Delaine's wide eyes, he hurriedly pressed down on the table.
"Why are you pressing the table? Am I going to lose?"
Delaine was furious and overturned the table on the spot.
Among the chips flying in the sky, she saw Wayne and Senna looking confused, and she was annoyed and impulsive, and said viciously: "I turned the table over because you two questioned my brand, not because I couldn't afford to lose."
Okay, you have the final say on your territory.
Wayne nodded repeatedly, cleared the table and was about to leave: "Mr. Delian, it's getting late, and we don't have any chips in front of you. It's a tie today, but we will have to decide the winner another day."
"Just today!"
Delian slapped the table, like a red-eyed gambler: "There was no tie just now, you were always winning. If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. Don't worry about my face, I will win it back by myself."
"Uh, continue?" Wayne blinked.
"Just keep going. This is what you said. I didn't force you."
Delian pressed the table firmly, and then said: "Not counting the ones just now, there are too few people, so the good cards are always in your hand."
"Understood, I'll call the two girls over now, and I'll make sure you have a good time."
When the camera turned, Veronica and Xiffy appeared on the card table.
The arrival of the two people did not save Delian's bad luck, but made her lose even more completely.
The people of the Landau family have always had good luck. You can tell by looking at the pickers' eyes that Veronica and Xiffy will be the best at it, and there will be no small cards at all.
"How could this happen? It shouldn't be..."
Delaine looked at her hands tremblingly. After two games, she had not won a single game. Even though Xiffy and Veronica deliberately cheated several times, she still lost to Wayne. "Boy, you must have cheated!" Delian gritted his teeth tightly, vowing to prove his card skills.
This time she didn't lift the table and found a new reason, two more.
First, there was something wrong with the dealer. Senna was Wayne's mount and secretly dealt good cards to Wayne.
Second, Heaphy is Wayne's teacher and Veronica is Wayne's fiancée. If the four of them join forces, she can't win even if the God of Gamblers is alive.
"so what?"
Wayne's voice came from behind the chips.
This is unreasonable, boy, I have tolerated you for a long time!
Delian flipped the table angrily, raised his long legs and stepped on the chair: "I want to change people. I have the final say who the dealer is."
The camera turned again, and the sexy croupier Anastasia was called over and began to deal the cards at Delaine's urging.
Confused.
Who am I, where am I, how did you get this table together?
Anastasia was full of doubts. The Saint of the Dark Church was not a big-breasted and brainless idiot. Thinking of Senna's previous inquiry, she suspected that this card game was deliberately targeting Delaine.
The question is, what does Senna want?
Anastasia suppressed her doubts and secretly gave Delaine a look. With her personally dealing the cards, Delaine would definitely win.
"Look what I'm doing. I asked you to come here for the sake of fairness. I'm not going to cheat!"
Delaine was furious, mistakenly thinking that Anastasia thought she couldn't afford to lose, so she called an acquaintance to come over and deal the cards.
This is unreasonable, how could she not be able to afford to lose!
Delane glared at Anastasia angrily, reiterated the principle of fairness and justice, and then pointed at his eyes fiercely: "Wayne, right? I'm staring at you, be careful, it's best not to Let me catch you cheating!"
With that said, Anastasia waved her hand and asked Anastasia to deal the cards. She wanted to prove her card skills openly.
The camera turned.
Delaine: ()
The heroic, cool and noble Moonlight Knight has lost. She has never won since she sat down, and she has almost exhausted all the reasons.
Which position is not good, the cards are defective, the chips are new, the armor is too strong, the magnetic field is too strong...
She said everything she could think of.
Even changing the poker methods, from thirteen cards to blackjack, sheep head game, catch a pair, etc., even if it was replaced by the simplest card drawing ratio, she still failed to win.
"You cheated!"
Delaine flipped up the table angrily, pointed at Wayne, and was about to rant. After all, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his juniors, so he swallowed back the curse words that came to his lips.
Seeing Delaine's chest high and breathing heavily, already red-eyed at the loss, Wayne sighed: "Delane, you found the dealer. I didn't even touch the cards when shuffling the cards, how could I cheat."
"Besides, with your great strength, I can't hide it from you even if I cheat."
"..."
Good boy, you just spoke like an adult, now you call me by my name, you are so realistic!
Sports competition, food is the original sin, there is nothing to say.
Delaine was still unconvinced and asked Anastasia to set up the card table. He took a deep breath and said, "You all get out of the way. I want to challenge this kid to a duel!"
"Delane, why don't you forget it? Your luck at cards is too bad today. Try it another day..."
"Today, if you dare to leave, I will beat you to death!"
"..."
Veronica poked her head in, this was usually what she said.
War is cruel, and veteran Veronica suffers from beautiful women's PTSD. Whenever she sees a beautiful woman next to her fiancé, she has a panic that the little bitch is doing something bad.
It's the same today. Looking at Delaine who is determined to decide the outcome at the card table, I can't help but think about it.
First love is when the imagination is at its most fertile. A slip of thought occurred, and she imagined that Wayne was kidnapped into the bedroom by Delaine, and the moonlight barrier sealed the door. She listened to the screams and lewd laughter in the room, and could only talk to Chris. , Weili hugged her head and cried.
No, absolutely not!
Veronica gritted her teeth secretly. Her fiancé was too popular and attracted the attention of beautiful women wherever he went. There was something wrong with her in this regard.
It's her fault that she can't let go and always thinks it's over.
It won't happen anymore. From today on, we will give Wayne strength so that even if he attracts beautiful women, he can only stare at him.
"Delane, it's getting late, and I have to go back to rest. You win today, okay?" Wayne advised earnestly.
"The sky in the Frozen Continent only changes once every half a year. Why is it getting late? Please sit down obediently." Delian continued regardless.
Under Anastasia's persuasion, both parties took a step back, each had three chips, and drew cards to determine the final outcome.
"It doesn't count before, I will definitely win these three games!"
Delaine stared at Wayne closely: "Push up your sleeves...oh, they are already rolled up. Then don't touch the cards. Anastasia, just show the cards directly and don't give him a chance to touch the cards."
Delane strongly suspects Wayne of cheating, otherwise his luck would not be so bad.
She didn't believe it. When all possibilities of cheating were eliminated, she couldn't win the last three games.
"Delane, let's make an agreement first. I will agree to all your requests, but you must also keep your promise. These are the last three."
"Will I break my word?!" Bai Mao was furious.
"..."
The camera rolls.
Anastasia dealt the cards and was as trustworthy as an undercover agent. Wayne got 10 every time, crushing the game three to zero without leaving any suspense.
"Oh, I won again. It's hard to lose even if you want to. It's so unfair."
Wayne sighed and shook his head. Delaine was right. He did cheat. Nine times out of ten he gambled, he cheated. How could he not cheat when he won everything?
He just didn't do anything at the card table, so Delaine couldn't get the evidence.
At this time, Wayne had an ancient silver coin on his chest.
A lucky ancient silver coin from Ouston, kindly sponsored by one of the representatives of the Goddess of Death, the ‘Observer’ the Doom Spider Griu.
At first, Auston was unwilling to give it to Wayne because this ancient silver coin could suppress the Dark Knight's power and conceal his identity from outsiders.
Who knows what will happen if a death knight touches the silver coin of death.
It was not until recently that Auston began to accept the identity of the Dark Knight that he gradually let go of his obsession with ancient silver coins. In addition, he also discovered that without the ancient silver coins, his power would grow faster and faster.
Apparently, the God of Death had no good intentions when he gifted the Dark Knight with ancient silver coins.
Wayne got the ancient silver coin, and the Book of Greed opened his mouth and ate two strange things.
One is the divine power of death that suppresses darkness, and the other is somewhat unclear. If I have to say it, it should be luck.
Luck is ethereal and indescribable, but it is embodied in ancient silver coins.
This luck was plundered by the Book of Greed and stored in the writing cover, which is Wayne's skin.
This is the third time that Wayne has sensed a novel power that is different from knowledge of elements, nature, death, heaven, etc. He believes that these are information laws, and their essence is a concept. The classification of the Book of Greed must have profound meaning.
This ancient silver coin is also quite extraordinary. The raw material came from Windsor. It was owned by senior officials of the Ministry of Magic. After being blessed by Griou, it turned into a complete artifact.
Just like Shadow Nightmare and other knight-matched artifacts, the information inside the ancient silver coin still exists after the Book of Greed is plundered.
It's very confusing.
Back to business, the last three rounds were over, and Wayne began to clear the table, muttering that it was hard to win even if the God of Gamblers and the Saint of Gamblers came and he would lose his pants. He would like to call himself a gambling monster!
"Wait a minute, who allowed you to leave? Sit down and continue."
"No, are you still coming?"
Wayne smiled secretly, with helplessness on his face: "Delane, keep your word, you have no leverage anymore."
"I swear, this is the last time!"
Delaine's face was not red and he was out of breath. He had already broken his promise anyway, so what's the point of breaking his promise again? Wayne and the others still dare to say it out?
It's better to say it. If you offend the God's Chosen Knight, I will arrest you to play cards every day.
"Who did you swear to, Luna?"
"Dark Goddess!"
"..." Desperately admonish.
Wayne shrugged and sat down with a look of helplessness on his face: "I can see that you have to win. It won't hurt you to lose the chips."
"What, you're not convinced?"
"How can I be convinced? I can't wait to go back to sleep!"
Wayne murmured in a low voice, and then looked at Delaine, his eyes swept over: "Okay, let's raise the stakes. I will only let me leave if I let you bleed and you feel distressed."
"Oh, what do you want?" Delaine was very interested.
Do young people covet her beauty?
It's interesting and courageous!
"Let me think about it..."
Wayne frowned and thought for a moment, then said expectantly: "Okay, Mr. Mulla is very busy and cannot teach me swordsmanship. You have free time every other day. I will play cards with you in the morning, and you teach me swordsmanship in the afternoon."
"This is no problem!"
"So refreshing?"
Wayne looked suspicious and added: "One more, I want to learn archery, is that okay?"
The map was pushed to the end and the dagger was finally revealed!
"No problem, I can teach you, but I also have to add a request..."
Delaine raised her eyebrows. Her map was also very long: "You have such good luck at cards. How on earth do you do it? Can you teach me two tricks so that we can make progress together?"
Wayne: (_)
It turns out that this is Moon Knight. It feels no different from Chrissy or Philomena. He mainly plays a free hand. He uses his strength and can kill the opponent nine times with one card.
