"Shut up!" Kunstein glared at the traveling businessman fiercely, then said to the others at the table, "Wait for me, I will be back soon."
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the cabin and walked towards his room. Others at the table were arranging their gains today while discussing what good things Kunstein could come up with.
Although most of the passengers on board are meeting for the first time, they have already got to know each other after the previous game. Through conversation, they learned that Kunstein is the heir to the inheritance of Belin Cameron, the great collector of the Inge Kingdom, so Kunstein must have the good things collected by this big collector.
After returning to the cabin, Kunstein walked to the safe in the room, quickly dialed the turntable, entered the password, inserted the key, and opened the safe.
The safe provided on the ship is not very large, and is only suitable for small items. There are six or seven small cloth bags of different sizes in the safe of Kunstein. He picked up one of the small cloth bags and opened his mouth.
I saw a dozen original gemstones that had been cut only in the cloth bag. Each one was about the size of a thumb nail. Although the price of each one did not make an ordinary family worry about food and clothing for life, at least It can make them very prosperous for a while.
Kunstein closed the cloth bag, put it in his clothes pocket, and then prepared to close the safe door, but he suddenly thought of something, hesitated a little, and finally opened a small drawer in the safe and took out one from the inside. A stone box covered with patterns on the surface, then opened the box and looked at it.
I saw that there was a tube like jade lying in the box, the size of a small thumb, but in terms of the object itself, it was not particularly surprising, but when Kunstein transferred this thing to the sun, let the window When the sun shines on the jade tube, the jade tube suddenly emits a faint burst of colored light and mist, and is accompanied by a crisp sound, which is like a wind bell and a raindrop sound. In short, it is very nice.
Kunstein did not know that when he opened the box containing the jade tube and moved it to the sun, the jade tube exuded an energy fluctuation that cannot be felt by ordinary people. This energy fluctuation is not very strong. But it was very obvious that the three people on board were shocked.
The leader of the Aminon priest, who was explaining the teachings of Poseidon to the church, was stunned by this energy fluctuation, and signaled to ask why other priests should not speak more. Deputy, walked out of the room.
The other person who sensed the energy fluctuation was the captain of the Ice Queen. He was writing the logbook as usual at the moment, and reorganized what he had to do after arriving at the next port.
When he sensed the energy fluctuations, his body suddenly shivered involuntarily. This tremor was both uneasy and excited. The body was not even controlled. Some hidden abnormal limbs were also revealed, such as eyes changes. It became the compound eyes of insects, tentacles growing on the forehead, hard hair growing behind the ears, etc.
However, soon he controlled the variation of his body, let himself be changed back, then put away the log, walked out of the captain's room, and walked towards the lower cabin.
The last one is naturally Leo. Although he has been experimenting in his cabin, preparing potions, and making rune traps for these two days, his spiritual net has always enveloped the entire Snow Queen, looking for this strange ship. In the secrets that he has not yet discovered.
So when the jade tube exuded energy fluctuations, he was the first to notice it, and even was shocked, his hands shivered, and a bottle of wizard potion was being refined.
Omega-level higher life form This is Leo’s answer that immediately emerged in his mind after he sensed this energy fluctuation, but he quickly rejected this answer because he felt that this energy fluctuation is very similar to Omega Gamma-level higher life bodies, but there is no such suppression of higher life in this wave of energy. In his sense, the life level of this wave of energy fluctuation is very weak, even only equivalent to the third-level psionicist.
With curiosity in his heart, he also stopped the things in his hand and left the cabin toward the source of energy.
The energy source did not stay in one place. It was originally in the passenger cabin, but soon left the passenger cabin and went to the entertainment cabin located in the middle floor.
When Leo came to the entertainment cabin, his sight fell directly on the card table not far away, and he saw the stone box on the table and the jade tube inside the box, so he walked over.
"These jewels should be enough chips?" At this time, Kunstein took out the stones in the stone box and pockets and put them on the table, said.
"Of course it's enough." All the people present were able to see the value of these jewelry at a glance and nodded.
"Can I take part in this game?" Just when Leo was about to speak, he first asked the captain of the entertainment cabin.
"Of course." Kunstein didn't talk to the others at the table, and nodded directly.
Others Jiankunstein had agreed, and naturally did not refuse, only the traveling businessman slightly questioned: "Mr. Captain, our game is not ordinary gambling, you must at least take out what we are interested in to be eligible. Join the game."
"Uh, wait for me." The captain apparently did not expect that the game was not a gamble, so he turned around and walked out of the cabin. It appeared to be returning to the captain's room to find something to bet on.
Just as the captain turned away, Leo and the Aminon priest leaders sat on the two seats at the table, expressing their desire to participate in the game.
And the two of them gave each other a glance after saying the words to participate in the game. Although they didn't speak, they could all feel that the other party was going towards the jade pipe.
"Of course, as long as the two can afford enough qualified chips." Everyone on the scene also felt something was wrong, but they did not retreat. Instead, they looked at the leader of Leo and the Amino priest with interest.
The leader of the Amino priest did not want to take out an old Poseidon church code from his seemingly old robe and put it on the table.
"Sea nerve?" After seeing the name of the classic, everyone showed a disappointed look, because this doctrine classic can be said to be the most printed classic by the Church of Poseidon. Almost the entire English kingdom has one hand, even if it is a believer. In the eyes, there is only religious value and no commercial value.
It’s just that Leo’s attitude is different from the others around him. After seeing this old classic, he couldn’t help but show a surprised look on his face, because he can feel that this classic is clearly a magical wonder, but with its Judging by the fluctuation of the divine power emitted, its value is definitely not comparable to the king and queen in Leo's hands.
The priest Aminon seemed to be very clear about what these people were thinking and did not explain much, but turned the first page of this classic, revealing the signature and handwritten words of the first page.
Standing with curiosity, everyone stood up and looked at the signatures and speeches on that page. When they saw the signatures and speeches, they could not help but take a deep breath, showing a little greed in each other's eyes.
Leo also saw the signature. Although he was not as surprised as those around him, he was equally surprised and also interested in this classic.
Jay Barossas is the name written on the page of the book. This name is not well known in other kingdoms, but it is a household name in the English kingdom, because he is the only one in the Kingdom of England to be named by the Orthodox Court. The priest of the saint's Poseidon church, and the only one who was consecrated before death.
There are countless legendary stories about Jay Barossas, the most of which is the fact that he assisted the King to punish some evil nobles in the Kingdom. As long as it is related to Jay Barossas in various plays performed in the Kingdom of England, The dramas are very popular.
A sea nerve with autographed by Jay Barross and with a message is definitely a collector's favorite, and everyone has no doubt that what the Aminon priest brought out is fake, just curious What is it that makes the Aminon priest not hesitate to take such a precious religious relic as a bet.
When everyone acknowledged that what the Aminon priest brought out was enough to participate in the gambling game, his attention also turned to Leo, and he hoped Leo would come up with something good.
Seeing this, Leo seems to have taken out a few psionic substances traded from the Special Bureau from his pocket, actually from his own storage space.
These psionic substances are compared to the psionic mass contained in them. They are very poor. The reason why Leo keeps this psionic substance is mainly because the psionic quality is too poor to find a place to use. .
Nonetheless, these several psionic materials are very good. They are all natural amber, and they are presented in perfect teardrop shape without any polishing. What is more rare is that there are two inside each amber Only colorful ancient insects that are mating.
When Leo took out these pieces of psionic matter, the greedy sight on it was several times stronger than that of the sea nerve, and the strongest greed was Kunstein sitting not far away.
Kunstein has a lot of business, but the most important business is the jewelry business. With his years of experience, Leo has brought out these amber pieces whose value is far more than the same size of gemstones. It is definitely the best in the eyes of gem collectors. .
Naturally Leo also successfully qualified to participate in the game.
After a while, the captain walked in with a box in a hurry, and then without further ado, after sitting down, he opened the box on the table and said, "This is my chip."
Everyone looked at the box with interest, and saw that there was a very strange metal plate with a lot of patterns on the metal plate, which looked like a very mysterious object.
"What is this?" Some people don't know this metal plate.
"Can you show me?" But someone seemed to see what it was and asked the captain.
The captain pushed the box in front of the interrogator. The interrogator took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then took out the metal plate and inspected it carefully, carefully put it back into the box, and said: "I think this Items are eligible to be counted as chips."
"What the is this?" someone asked puzzled.
"Gujia slate." The man replied.
"Gujia stone slab?" Everyone was curious about the metal plate and couldn't help but looked over.
In the antiquities collection world, the Gujia stone slab is definitely the most excellent collection. It is said that in the archaeology of some ruins of the Gujia desert, a total of 54 Gujia stone slabs were unearthed. Later, the army transporting the Gujia stone slab was attacked and lost Twenty-three pieces have been added, and these twenty-three pieces of ancient slabs have appeared on the black market one after another. Every time they appear, they are immediately bought at high prices.
Although some people have heard the name of the Gujia stone slab, they don't understand the details of this thing. After seeing the metal plate, they can't help but ask: "But isn't this a metal plate? How is it called a stone plate?"
As soon as the question was asked, someone familiar with the matter explained: "The name of the ancient slab is named after the first slab found in the ancient Gamma, but in fact fifty-four ancient slabs were found. Among them, there are sixteen metal plates, but the name has been fixed, so the sixteen metal plates are also used in old names."
After getting the explanation, everyone's doubts were gone, and the captain's request to join the game was naturally no problem.
The next step is to calculate the chip price of these items. As Leo expected, the amber he brought out is naturally the highest price, followed by the captain's Gujia stone slab, and finally the sea nerve of the priest Amino. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
Kunstein also exchanged his jewellery for chips, but when he saw that Kunstein had not exchanged the jade tube beside his hand, the captain couldn't help but asked.
Quinstein said in a deep voice: "This thing is my lucky thing, I will not sell this thing unless it is a last resort."
Leo and others did not show a regretful expression, but waited for the start of the game.
Soon the game started normally. Leo was playing for the first time and he was not very familiar with the rules, so he covered the cards with the first few bets, no matter how good his hand was. No follow up.
On the table, other people play very seriously, carefully calculating the cards in the hands of other people, each bet is playing a psychological battle with the opponent, I have to say that each of these people on the table is A good juggler.
It's just that even good players, they have highs and lows, and this highs and lows are directly reflected in winning or losing.
It is surprising that after a few rounds, the biggest winner is not the veterans at the table, but it does not look like the leader of the Aminon priest who knows how to play.
The rules of the beast card are very special. Chips can be accumulated through continuous stacking. When a card is down, if there are several winners, the winner with the most chips will get the most bets.
The leader of the Aminon priest is completely like a novice who does not know how to gamble. All the chips on hand are pushed out, which makes him get the most chips in each game.
