Chapter 754: Miracle that won't happen

The latest website: In the second round of the first round, Earl still stopped with two cards, and the sum of points was still 18 points.

Shad's first two cards totaled 13, so he got the third card:

"So are you off the bloodbrew now?"

Talking and laughing:

"Look, sun 6, I'm 19 o'clock again."

"It seems that today's luck is not very good."

The earl shook his head regretfully, threw the two cards in his hand aside again, and then took the first hole card in the third round of the first round:

"I know that drink is not healthy, but since my lung disease is cured, it seems that all the hidden diseases in my body have disappeared. Even my personal doctor said that I am very healthy, so..."

He shrugged, meaning he didn't quit.

Xia De didn't comment on this either. Strictly speaking, the current Earl Dallak is dead, and those blood brews mixed with prohibited drugs can no longer damage his health.

"Speaking of Sun 6."

Xia De glanced at his hole cards, and signaled Priest Augustus to continue to deal the cards:

"In the founding series of cards, the Sun 6 is [Founding·Death]."

"Yes, I have seen the card face of the founding series countless times in the oil paintings of the Prophet Association. Look, the second card is the queen, and my luck has come."

The earl said with a smile, and Xia De's third card was the moon 12, which was directly busted, and the first game was temporarily 2 to 1.

"I have seen [Initiation Death] with my own eyes, and it is in Fort Midhill."

Xia De said softly, and the Earl's eyes widened:

"In this city? Mr. Watson, do you mean that the card is within twenty-five miles of us?"

"Yes, but I cannot reveal who the owner of that card is."

"It's really enviable that you've seen the founding series."

The earl was amazed, and after getting the second card, he muttered in a low voice:

"What the hell."

The two cards add up to 18 points:

"Mr. Watson, it's 19 o'clock again, isn't it?"

"It's hard to say."

Shad took the next card, and then put up the face of the card:

"Look, I got it, [Legend of the Brave · Bard Fletcher], flower 9. When this card is drawn, if this card is not the first card, the previous card is of the flower suit and the number is even , you can adjust this card between the numbers 9 and 10."

He picked up his first hidden card again:

"Unfortunately, the first card is a flower 10. Whether I adjust the numbers or not, I win."

"Mr. Watson won the first game."

The old butler immediately announced, and Earl Dallak shook his head:

"At least I still won a round. Compared to the last time I didn't win a round in front of Miss Aurora, my luck is obviously much better this time."

He is good at comforting himself.

Add the cards used in the first game back into the deck, and after shuffling each other, the second game begins. Xia De continued the topic of [Creation·Death]:

"The gentleman who owns [Founding·Death] is very talkative. When I met him, he talked to me about many interesting local legends. It is said that the frequency of hauntings in the mountain city of Midhill Castle is higher than that of any other place. many."

"Yes, even children's bedtime stories have less scary ghost stories. Do you have any interesting stories to share, Mr. Watson?"

The count asked. After getting the second card, he found that it was Flower One, and immediately laughed again:

"This time, I finally stopped without a second card."

"A story, of course there is."

Xia De casually glanced at his second card:

"There are many kinds of ghosts, some are quite scary, some are just transparent and glowing people, and some look exactly like living people."

Priest Augustus glanced at Shad.

Shade's third card is Sun 9, and the first two cards Sun 4 and Star 7 add up to 20 points. It was a good time for Xia De to choose to suspend the cards at this time, but he wanted to talk to the earl more, so he continued to ask for cards. The fourth card was the flower 3, which was a bust as expected.

Count Dallak won the first round of the second inning.

"A dead person who is the same as a living person? I have never heard of such a story."

The earl looked up at Shad:

"Tell me more, I'm curious about this kind of undead."

"Although the characteristics can be summed up in one sentence, in fact, if this kind of thing really happens, it will be more terrifying than the murderous evil spirit. After all, we can observe the appearance of the evil spirit, but the dead like the living, maybe Before we knew it, he was already standing beside us."

The priest continued to deal the cards and listened carefully to the conversation between the two. The old butler drooped his eyelids, as if he was tired and wanted to fall asleep.

The count asked curiously:

"Why fear? Since the dead are the same as the living, it is better to let the dead who are the same as the living stay."

"Things are not that simple. There is a difference between life and death, just like ink and clear water. But when death invades the world of the living and we ignore it, then even a drop of ink can pollute the entire bowl of clear water. And Even if the clear water turns black just a little bit, the world of the living will no longer be just the world of the living."

In the second round, Xia De played two cards for 20 points, and the earl continued to draw cards to hit 21 points, but unfortunately he was not lucky.

"For the sake of the living, the dead must be expelled."

The Earl summed up what Shad meant, and Shad nodded:

"Yes, it's something that has to be done."

He glanced nervously at the earl on the other side of the table, but luckily the latter didn't suddenly go crazy. Earl Dallak looked down at his Rhodes card, Shad thought that he must have thought of something.

The Nails who came back from the dead are only temporarily forgotten. Sooner or later, they will remember what they are.

Priest Augustus handed over the second card of the third round at this time, Xia De glanced at it, it was the 9 of stars.

Neither of them spoke again, and Priest Augustus continued to deal the cards. Shade's third card is the 5 of the Star, and his hole card is the 7 of the Moon:

"Lucky, look, blackjack."

Xia De smiled, and the earl did not show annoyed expression, but also showed his third card:

"[Ancient Fairy Tale Sleeping Princess], the moon is 5. If you roll 10 or 20 in 20-sided dice twice in a row, you can adjust the card number within 5 or 6."

He turned over his hole cards:

"My card is now 12+3+5=20. If the dice can pass the judgment, then I am also blackjack. Mr. Watson, if you can do it, I should be able to do it too."

Xia De didn't look at him, but touched his chin with his right hand, tilted his head slightly and looked at the thick fog outside the window:

"Sometimes, we need to accept reality instead of longing for the unattainable miracle."

The earl cast the prepared metal dice, and when the tumbling dice stopped, the upward side was actually 10.

"It's hard for a miracle to happen, but this time, I'm lucky."

"Yes, but right now, you just got lucky once."

Xia De said seriously, pressing one hand on the table:

"It takes at least two good lucks before you are eligible to draw with me. And even if that's the case, you still need to pass the test afterwards."

"Yes, but you always have to gamble on luck. I'm not willing to admit defeat directly."

The count reached out to pick up the dice again, then raised his hand and threw it.

The eyes of the four people in the room were all fixed on the falling dice. After Dangdang~ bounced a few times, it began to spin on the spot.

"Fate is really wonderful sometimes..."

The thin middle-aged man looked at the spinning dice in a daze.

After thinking for a while, Xia De asked cautiously:

"So, Earl, do you know the current situation?"

No one spoke, only the sound of the metal dice spinning on the table was extremely clear.

"If you don't know this, then I'm a little too stupid."

The rotation speed of the dice was slowing down, and the owner of the dice looked at his old housekeeper:

"You already knew that I came back from the dead, right?"

"Lawrence..."

The old man looked at him sadly, unable to say a word.

While the resurrected will forget that they were dead, others will not remember it. But just like [Dark Realm] modifying cognition, but it is not completely impossible to see through, there is also a way to see through narrowly modified cognition.

"Mr. Watson, are you here to see me off?"

The count asked Xia De again, and there was no other expression on his serious face.

Xia De stared at the crumbling dice:

"Yes, you must leave and go where you should be."

The dice stopped, and the upside was the number 1. The judgment of [Ancient Fairy Tale Sleeping Princess] failed, and Earl Lawrence Dallak's total points were 20 points.

Priest Augustus gave him the next card, which, as expected, busted.

"Mr. Watson, we have won the third round of the second round. The score of the second round is now 2-1, and the total score is 1-0. Next is Mr. Watson's final round."

The old butler broke down in tears and said, Priest Augustus watched this scene expressionlessly, the old priest had seen too many similar things. He stretched out his hand to continue dealing cards, but Earl Dallak shook his head:

"I also know that it is the right way for the dead to leave the world of the living, but I don't want to leave. This is a bit unfair. Why, you can live? I obviously got a second chance, but I still want to leave?"

The furious expression on his face almost made Xia De draw his sword on the spot. But the Earl controlled his rage, which was not his rage. He suppressed his mood and stood up tremblingly:

"Mr. Watson, engage in the final duel."

The color of his eyes gradually became completely white:

"Understood my own affairs~lightnovelpub.net~ I can feel the power emerging from the ground beneath my feet, and I can also feel the violent anger in my heart, they are urging me to take revenge on all living people. For the time being, I can still Suppress this feeling, and in the last moments of your wits, John Watson, come to a duel. You win, and I will leave, and I won, and none of you will leave..."

Xia De frowned and stood up, and the earl said to his old housekeeper:

"My suicide note is in the drawer in the bedroom. You know where the key is. No matter what happens next, don't make it difficult for these two gentlemen."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the wall where the window was, and his body went straight through the wall:

"John Watson, I'll be waiting for you in the yard."
