The Whispering Verses Chapter 220: Another Anat

When the cards were dealt in the fourth round, Baron Cobol could no longer hide his nervous expression. He probably thought that he had taken advantage of the game and had great expectations for the Rhodes card. Now that Shade has won two rounds, I can’t help but worry that I will lose.

With this kind of mentality, you will have a greater chance of losing. Even Xia De understands this truth.

They all got their respective trump cards. The baron took a quick look and showed a disappointed expression. It seemed that it was not the king or the queen.

The following second cards were Moon 9 and Moon 1 respectively. The baron who got the Moon 9 hesitated for a while before deciding to continue asking for cards. This made the people around him almost guess the range of points in his hand.

Xia De looked through his hole cards and directly chose to ask for a card. The third card of both sides is even more strange. The Baron is Sun 1 and Shade is Flower 1.

Baron Cobol hesitated again, and even Baron Rwanda, who dealt the cards to him, couldn’t help but remind him:

“If you hesitate for a while, I will know what your current hole card points are without even looking at your cards.”

This made everyone around laugh, and Shade also laughed:

“Baron, do you want to try your luck?”

“Mr. Hamilton, do you want to continue filming?”

Baron Cobol asked instead.

“Of course.”

The corner of the baron’s mouth trembled:

“Okay, I will continue to ask for cards.”

Then a picture of the king was sent to the baron. His eyes widened for a moment and his mouth was closed tightly as if he couldn’t breathe. Unless Shade has 21 points, it’s a two-to-two situation.

The people around him were talking quietly, and the Baron suddenly looked up to see Shade’s card, which was an eight.

[Eastern Style of the Old World – Lake Tees], after drawing this card, guess the number of a card that the opponent has not shown. If it is correct, you can choose whether to give the opponent’s card after the opponent shows the card. The number is forced to increase by one. If the opponent opens the cover first, [Eastern Landscape of the Old World – Lake Tees] will have no effect.

Of course, if the opponent is a king or queen, adding one point means busting the card, which is also one of the basic rules.

Seeing Shade’s card, the Baron was stunned and knew the effect of this card. At this time, he thought of the rules in his memory, and immediately reached out to reveal his trump card, but his hand movements were not as fast as Shade’s mouth:

“I guess it’s 9 o’clock.”

Xia De said, his face not nervous at all. There is no penalty for guessing wrong. His points now add up to 11 points and he can continue to ask for cards.

Baron Cobol held the corner of the card and stopped there.

“I guess it’s 10 o’clock!”

Baron Lavender, who dealt the cards, immediately said with a smile.

“No, the probability of 9 o’clock is greater!”

Another dealer, Baron Rwanda in a curly wig, retorted.

“Quickly open the card, what exactly is it?”

People urged, everyone looked at Baron Cobol’s hand. The baron had an ugly expression on his face, then he laughed dryly, lifted the cards and threw them on the surface:

“I shouldn’t have hesitated just now, okay, Star 9.”

The small bag containing the blood money was thrown out by him and slid along the table to Shade’s hand:

“I shouldn’t have hesitated just now.”

He repeated again.

Xia De opened the bag, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction:

“Thank you, Baron, for your generosity.”

“Let’s play cards together again when we have time.”

Baron Cobble stood up with a look of regret:

“Although I lost, Mr. Hamilton, I found it really interesting to play cards with you. I can remember this kind of game for 20 years… If you hesitate, you will fail.”

He sighed like this, and the people watching laughed again.

After winning the bet, the dance party at nine o’clock in the evening is about to start. The onlookers dispersed, and only a few people were still playing Rhodes here. Shade also took this opportunity, carrying his antique knight sword, and returned to the lounge on the second floor to find Bei, who was waiting for him. Miss Yas and Miss Anat:

“Look.”

He threw the tight bag on the coffee table, and then returned the banknotes that Miss Anat had just given to her.

Miss Bayas opened the bag curiously and marveled at the gold coins without any patterns, while Miss Anat was surprised by Shade’s behavior:

“What do you mean by giving me the money back?”

“No money, just win by playing Rhodes.”

He smiled slightly relaxedly, feeling very happy because he won the card:

“You know, I’ve always had good luck playing Rhodes.”

He refers to [Original Silver Moon].

Miss Anat then took the banknotes and asked jokingly:

“Remember what the priest said?”

“Of course remember – don’t be addicted to Rhodes.”

Xia De repeated, thinking of the priest’s worried look:

“Miss Bayas, do you think I look like a gambler?”

He asked the young lady who was playing with the old gold pounds to see what was special about them. The latter glanced at him:

“It’s not like that.”

Xia De felt more relieved now.

Now that she had obtained the extra five blood coins, Miss Anat immediately decided to conduct the so-called “accurate divination” immediately.

Since Miss Carina hasn’t left yet, Shade is worried that the witch with very keen senses will see through Miss Anat’s secret, so he reminds her a little, but Miss Anat doesn’t care:

“My secret can only be guessed by God.”

Xia De opened his mouth and did not ask any more, as did Miss Bayas beside him.

When Miss Anat performed the divination, she did not avoid Shade and Miss Bayas. According to her, they could not see any clues after seeing the whole process.

In fact, this process is very simple. First, Miss Anat holds the blood money that has been used by her. After tossing it twice, she puts the coin down:

“The secret of the chosen one cannot be easily divined. One blood money is not enough.”

So he used the method of “trading with himself” to activate a piece of blood money that Shade had won from playing cards, but two pieces of blood money were still not enough.

“After all, he is the chosen one. This is the legendary beginning of the Sixth Age. If the result is so easily divined, it would make me doubtful.”

Shad said this and handed another one to Miss Anat. But before Miss Anat used the gold coin, Miss Bayas reached out and snatched the coin away. She shook her head and said:

“Even if the blood money will be consumed immediately and the curse will disappear, it may not be easy to bear so many curses in a short period of time.”

She put the antique gold coin in her hand, saw Shade and Miss Anat looking at her, and said embarrassedly:

“You are helping me. Although I can’t do divination, I still want to do my part.”

As he said that, he also followed Miss Anat’s approach and activated the blood money by trading with himself. Wait until the patterns on the front and back of the gold coin appear before handing the blood money to the female fortune teller.

“No, it’s still not enough…”

Three gold coins were stacked in the palm of her hand. Miss Anat looked at the [relic] under the gas light with some uneasiness:

“It doesn’t matter, even six coins are not enough. I have other ways to pay the price…other ways.”

Looking at her expression, you can tell that other methods will not be simple, and may even cause harm to herself.

“I’ll do it next.”

Xia De also picked up a gold coin in a small bag on the table. After activating it, he thought it would feel like “a cold breath penetrated into the body”, but in fact he felt nothing.

Luckily, four blood coins were finally enough.

Miss Anat took a deep breath, and then threw away these gold coins containing the curse of the ocean undead in front of Shade and Miss Bayas.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped. Shade looked up at them. Under the light in the room, his eyes could clearly see every detail of the gold coins spinning in the air.

The air became thicker, and some rustling sounds appeared in my ears.

While the blood money rotates and rises in the air, it quickly decays and eventually completely rusts at the highest point. It disperses into fly ash as it falls, and the fly ash completely dissipates before falling to the ground.

Shad didn’t know what Miss Bayas could observe, but he saw a few gray light traces streaking through the air among the blood money that turned to ashes, and gathered on the back of Miss Anat’s head. at.

He tilted his head and looked at the female fortune teller with purple eyes. In a daze, he actually saw a transparent and illusory figure of a woman, leaning down and lying gently behind Miss Anat. The power of the blood money was completely absorbed by her. She put her hands around Miss Anat’s neck and whispered something in her ear.

Miss Bayas seemed unable to see this scene, and even Miss Anat could not see the person lying behind her, but Shade saw it:

“This is…”

The transparent illusory woman figure is clearly the image of Miss Anat, but she looks more mature. Her expression was a little sad, her transparent body seemed incomplete, and some parts were illusory and basically shapeless.

She also noticed that Shade was looking at her, with a surprised expression on his face, and then disappeared.

[This is her “other me”. 】

“But why…Miss Anat’s so-called paid divination seems to be really the special ability of her other self, rather than some powerful relic. But… That figure just now… doesn’t seem to be a normal ‘other me’.”

Miss Bayas was reaching out to catch the fly ash that the blood money had turned into, while Miss Anat was tilting her head to listen to the words that no one else could hear. The two of them really didn’t see the figure that appeared at that moment.

“Did you see it just now?”

[I saw it, but I can’t give you the answer. All I can tell you is that her “other self” seems to be injured and incomplete. 】

“How many injuries?”

[It’s impossible to tell unless you get in closer contact. 】

“The doctor’s other self is related to the devil, and Miss Anat’s other self is actually able to use the power of the relic…”

Shadow is still thinking, but Miss Anat has already shown a satisfied smile, and it seems that she has achieved results again:

“The answer obtained by four blood coins – to become the chosen one of [Balance], the first condition is an artifact containing the power of the ancient god, the second condition is to understand [Balance] itself, and the third condition is Ceremony, a special ceremony——”

She looked at Miss Bayas, who was sitting upright:

“Please speak.”

“Pray to the ancient gods, voluntarily give up one of your eyes, and gain the wisdom to measure balance. In the state of hanging upside down, under the witness of people with special destiny, judge your destined enemies fairly, and use this to calibrate Balance your own scale, master the power of the judge, and become the true chosen one.”
