Vol 3 Chapter 52: Lampa Club (below)

"This is not cheating, but a kind of wisdom." Xiu Yi happily paid a hundred Kimvits to Count Strias.
"You bet on all kinds of things that may or may not happen at sea?" Count Strias took the money and asked with interest.
"In fact, it's more complicated than that." Xiu Yi took a sip of juice around him. "We bet on the storm, bet on World of Warcraft, who can swim farther and dive deeper in the sea. Sometimes we even use life to Bet. For example, who can get closer to a certain Warcraft, we bet on the other's death or life. "
"That's too dangerous."
"It's also more exciting, much more exciting than some of the boring little gambling now." Xiu laughed, looking at the count of Strias: "Interested to play a big one?"
Count Strias frowned slightly: "How big is it?"
"It's very simple." Xiu Yi set the juice in the glass aside, and then asked the maid to bring two more juices. Then he took a bottle of potion from his arms and poured a little into one of the wine glasses.
Putting the medicine away, Xiuyi pointed to the three wine glasses and said, "I think I want to remind you that what I just brought out is a very interesting drug called belladonna. I believe many people have heard of this. Kind of thing. Yes, it is a very interesting plant condensed from the rhizome. Belladonna itself has no special function, but when it is mixed with some special media, it will produce a completely different Effect. For example, if you drop this thing into the juice, it will produce a wonderful toxin. If you drink it, you will be paralyzed and paralyzed if you don't get it. Even if it is not treated, it will die. Yes, when it enters this juice, it will not have any effect on the juice, whether it is color or taste. When you drink it, you will find that it is a glass of juice without any change. "
The nobles were all pale.
So Xiu laughed: "Of course, now everyone sees which glass of juice I put the medicine in, and naturally I won't drink it. So, what if we do this?"
Xiu Yi suddenly put three cups of fruit juice in a tin made of sixteen to update quickly. After reading the novel, come to the sixteen opening plate, then cover them with a round lid, and turn the tray smoothly.
The tray was turned several times on the countertop, and no one knew which glass was poisonous when the lid was opened.
Xiu Yi smiled and looked at the Earl of Strias, "Master, are you interested in playing another one? I bet I can choose a drink and it must be non-toxic."
"This is impossible." Count Strias' face was extremely gloomy.
"You have to try it out." Xiu's attitude was casual.
"You're kidding in that life."
"This is where the game is exciting."
Count Strias looked at the three bottles of juice and shook his head gently: "This is crazy, Master Dardanelle."
"Everyone in the maritime family must learn to fight the wind and waves and struggle with death from birth. Our attitude towards life and death is much weaker than you think."
Count Strias swallowed a spit of saliva, and he did not know when the center of the game would gradually shift to him and Cissedane Danil.
Now, the young master said lightly that he would choose one of the three glasses of juice and drink it without fear of the possible consequences. Instead he was himself, but was shocked by the other party.
As the chief warden of the grand Spock Prison, Count Strias is also a famous figure in the city of Royo, and he does not want to be intimidated by such a fledgling kid.
Count Strias suddenly flashed a thought in his mind, and he cried, "Oh, hell, I almost lied to you, do you have an antidote, right?"
Xiu fluttered a laugh, and he began to applaud: "It's awesome, Lord Strias, you see the point."
"Don't try to do this little trick in front of me," said Count Strias proudly.
"Then I add another promise. If I pick the poisonous cup, I will not take any antidote. But if I win, Lord Strias, I heard that you are a famous painting. Lovers, there are many famous paintings in your collection. Interestingly, I am also interested in collecting famous paintings. Over the years, I have a special liking for the works of Alec; Dolteri, so I collect them everywhere. In your collection, there is Alec; a work by Dolly ... "A Picture of the Virgin Sunset?"
Everyone heard the name of the maiden of the setting sun, and everyone started to panic.
"You want a picture of the maiden of the setting sun?" Earl of Strias also felt a little weird. "Last year someone offered me 8,000 gold vets and I didn't sell them."
"Then I have 10,000 Kimvits."
Everyone took a breath.
Ten thousand Jinweit, if it is placed in modern times, it will be two million.
"Are you crazy? Master Dardaniel." Viscount Radul, on the side, advised Xiu: "You're playing too much."
"No." Xiu shook his head. "Viscount Radul, even the rude and savage maritime family, also knows what Yinuoqianjin means. Now that I speak, I must do it. Strias Earl, would you like to make this bet with me? If I win, I want that "Picture of the Sunset Lady", if I lose, I will pay you 10,000 King Witt, how about it? In terms of winning , I have a winning percentage of nearly 70%. If you think that's unfair, I can raise again. "
"No, it's fair. If you lose, you lose more than money. I can agree to this bet." Count Strias was a little angry, and he didn't expect the kid in front to dare to do so to him provocative. Now that he was so sure, he went to see how exactly Cissedagdanier could guarantee that he would not pick out the poisonous glass of juice.
"Thank you very much for your generosity." Xiu Yi picked up one of the juices and drank it.
The hand restarts.
But everyone was upset.
Belladonna's medicinal effects take time. Until then, no one can determine whether Xiuyi drank poison or fruit juice.
They must wait.
Although the game continues, every big man is "carefully watching Xiu Yi's face and acting" at this moment.
Xiu always behaved calmly.
"You must admit, Master Dardanelle, you are a very good person. I believe that no one in the same age group can compare to you. At least I have never known that I was born or dead. In this case, it can still be so calm. "Count Strias sighed in admiration.
"Since the death of my father, my uncle has cultivated me with all my strength. I bear the burden of the family and often have to study hard. The Dardanelles need a long time to have their place in the empire. Hard work, so I dare not have the slightest slack. "Xiu Yi answered seriously.
"That being the case, you should be more responsible for your life."
"The wind and waves at sea are very risky. Everyone in the maritime family has grown up in the waves since childhood, and has learned to look down on life and death. In the face of great interests, we are even more brave to take risks with our own lives. It means a lot to me, and I'd love to get that picture with a big win. "
"But if you lose ..."
"I won't lose." Xiu Yi answered the other side with a very positive tone.
This made the Earl of Strias somewhat.
What makes the teenager in front of himself sure he can win?
"I can tell you why I'm so confident I won't lose, but I hope that won't be an excuse for you to deny this bet." Xiu Yi said.
"No problem. I also want to hear why you are sure that the glass of juice you drink is non-toxic."
"It's very simple," Xiuyi replied. "It's this poison. As I said, it doesn't really cause any change in color and taste after entering the juice. So, how can I ensure that I will not choose the poisonous one? What about the cup?
Xiu Yi smiled and looked at the big people around him.
Actually, there is a way to drink one of these cups before. Of course, it was refilled later. On the surface, it and others There is no difference in the juice in the cup. But let's not forget one thing. There is sediment in the juice. Because this sediment is heavier than water, they usually stay at the bottom of the cup. When the juice in the cup is repeatedly After drinking, there will be more sediment in that cup than just poured into the cup ... "
Xiu Yi slowly raised the cup in his hand, and there was still some sediment of juice in it.
Xiu Yi continued: "In addition, I have used a little oil mark on the mouth of the cup, which is the mark of the lip balm. I just used some of this thing before coming to prevent the lips from cracking. Everyone saw it, the poison just now I did n’t drip into the cup I used, so I just found the glass of juice I drank and drank it. So I ’m sure this is the cup I used before and it ’s nothing Poisonous. "
"Oh, hell." Count Strias moaned.
After saying this, Xiu Yi looked at the Earl of Strias: "This is why I have confidence that I can win, Lord Earl. The prophet game is actually a trap game, we design all kinds of traps to let the other party Drill in, whether you win or lose, the other party can't regret it. Of course, you can also design some fake traps, and if I break them down, then the person who loses is still you. This is the favorite game of the sea family, I I think you will like it now. "
Count Strias' voice was somber: "Yes, I started to like this game, it's really interesting."
"Then our bet ..."
"Come to my office tomorrow and I will give you the painting."
"Spike prison?"
"Yes, Spock Prison." Strias took a document from his arms and put it in Xiuyi's hands. "This is a pass. With it, you can come to Spock Prison to find me."
"No problem, sir." Xiuyi answered respectfully with a mysterious smile on his face.
In the dim light, Count Strias stared fiercely at the young man before him, and no one knew what he was thinking. !! ~!
