Chapter 2092

Seeing the two hesitate, Xia De blinked again:

"If you don't want to bet with me, you can reveal your third card now. If I'm not mistaken, your cards are not ordinary either, right?"

"Do you think you have won us for sure?"

Viscount Gra asked, revealing his third card. It was indeed another special rule card:

"Star 7, 【Era's Text · Terraril River Newspaper】. Throw 1 20-sided die. If the die points are not greater than 5, you can adjust this card to twice the die points."

He picked up the ivory die in the slot at the corner of the table and threw it casually. Unfortunately, the points were 14, which did not meet the activation effect of the special card. Viscount Gra then pursed his lips:

"Sorry, I won't follow. Sometimes being cautious is a good thing, I admit defeat in this game. Although I won't bet special cards with you again in the future, I look forward to meeting you at the card table again."

He showed his cards totaling 18 points.

So Xia De looked at Herman Wood again. The latter hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and slammed the third card on the table with an exaggerated action, as if he wanted to change the content of the card with this action.

That was also a special rule card, and it was also his bet for this game:

【Ancient Fairy Tale · Mermaid's Song】, suit: Moon 1. If this card is the second to last card, throw a 20-sided die during the point settlement stage. If the die points are greater than the total points, the total points can be increased by one.

Herman Wood immediately flipped over the first card. The total points of the three hand cards were 17 points.

"I noticed that you didn't announce to stop drawing cards."

Xia De said with a smile, his fingers still pressing on his hole card:

"Mr. Wood, do you want to bet on luck and continue drawing cards? Although there is a chance of busting, it also means 【Ancient Fairy Tale · Mermaid's Song】 has a chance to be used; or, maybe I am bluffing you, I have actually busted, you only need to do nothing to win. Although I didn't activate the special rule just now, maybe this is just a trap."

Mr. Wood shook his head:

"No need to use psychological tactics. Since Viscount Gra thinks you have won for sure, I will bet that you are bluffing, and you have also busted, right?"

Saying that, he was about to announce stopping drawing cards, but then hesitated again. Baron Wood sitting on the side shook his head helplessly, and said to the other two counts:

"He has been like this since he was a child, hesitating in doing anything. Caution is of course good, but now there are no clues worth analyzing in such a card situation. Just choose what you think is right."

Mr. Herman Wood probably thought his father was criticizing him, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"I won't follow, I will stop drawing cards now. Reveal the cards, let me see if you were bluffing just now."

Xia De nodded, lined up Star 12 and Flower 4, and was about to reveal the third card, but Miss Belindell pressed his hand, and then revealed the card herself.

Everyone stretched their heads to look, and what they saw was the suit of Sun 4.

"Sorry, 20 points."

Xia De said. Viscount Gra showed an expression of "as expected," Mr. Herman Wood covered his face, and his father, Baron Wood, sighed on the side. Anyone could see that he was quite dissatisfied with his son.

The card game ended. Xia De won Star 7 【Era's Text · Terraril River Newspaper】 from Viscount Gra, and Moon 1 【Ancient Fairy Tale · Mermaid】 from Herman Wood. If you add the Flower 4 【Fool Story · Lightning Maniac】 gifted by Miss Belindell, Xia De's total number of special cards jumped to 34.

For a deck totaling 54 cards, Xia De was one step closer to his dream of collecting a full set of special rule decks.

Of course, besides being happy about winning the cards, Xia De did not forget the serious business tonight. After the card game ended, the two counts and Baron Wood still had things to discuss, and Xia De took this opportunity to invite Mr. Herman Wood to the corridor to talk alone. He didn't even need to find an excuse. Herman Wood originally wanted to talk to Xia De and Viscount Gra separately about the rumors of three extremely precious Luo De cards appearing locally, so Xia De was the one invited to talk alone.

In the time that followed that night, Xia De didn't find another chance to talk to Miss Belindell alone. And when the gathering finally ended at 8:30 and everyone left by carriage separately, Xia De took out the ladies' pistol in the carriage:

"No problem, that hidden memory is here, the method provided by Xilis is very effective."

He said with a smile, his finger flicked the cylinder and turned it around:

"Herman Wood had no guard against me at all. I froze his time from behind, and then cooperated with the holy emblem to fire a shot to extract his memory. After the ritual ended, he had no idea that his life had been missing three minutes for no reason."

The consumption of "Adele's Time Stop" being extremely large was aimed at Ringed Shushi and supernatural items. Ordinary people had no time resistance at all, and freezing for three minutes only required Xia De to drink a mouthful of pink essence afterward.

"Your time stop power is really amazing."

The witch praised from the bottom of her heart. After returning to the manor with Xia De, they planned to watch the erased memory in the study.

The curtains were tightly closed, the indoor lights were extinguished, and Xia De raised the muzzle to pull the trigger at the wall. A nearly completely transparent light bullet sprayed from the muzzle, and then formed a somewhat blurry picture on the wall.

Besides Xia De and Miss Belindell, Miss Matisse was also there. All three saw the memory picture with Herman Wood as the first perspective. In front of him were two servants carrying oil lamps, and beside him could be seen Georgia Black and Freeman Hawthorne, whom Xia De was quite familiar with.

The deceased whose blood had been drained was also beside him. Of course, she was still alive at this time. The woman hugged his arm and spoke in a quite affected voice, and the sound coming from the picture was as blurry as the picture itself.

"Although the memory was extracted, it had been erased after all, so the quality is not very good, it's not that the relic itself is not good."

Xia De explained, and the witch frowned as she looked at the glowing picture on the wall:

"Judging from the surrounding environment, are they in the sewer?"

"It looks like it should be."

The group of people walked while talking. The originally blurry sound echoed in the sewer, making the sound even harder to distinguish. But Xia De still heard that Georgia Black asked the servant to point the way in front, wanting to take his two friends to see "interesting" things.

This memory was not long, so they soon approached the destination. A kind of low and oppressive sound came from the picture, and then other light appeared in front of the sewer.

People responsible for guarding the secret in the hidden place of the sewer walked over, confirming their identities with Georgia Black's group, but did not allow the woman and Wood and Hawthorne to follow in:

"Mr. Black, you know the rules."

So Georgia Black, who felt offended, took out a few banknotes from his pocket, and the group was allowed to continue forward. And then they walked inward, and Xia De and Miss Belindell also saw the hidden place of the sewer that had been transformed like a prison:

"How many things are hidden in the sewer system of Moon Bay City?"

The outsider couldn't help but ask, but even the locals couldn't say clearly:

"Moon Bay is really too ancient."

The memory picture became even blurrier here. Even if there were more torches and kerosene lamps for lighting around, the noise and blurry light and shadow still made more information difficult to identify.

The memory reached the end here. Georgia Black turned around proudly and said to Herman Wood and Freeman Hawthorne:

"This is not something ordinary people can see. Come here, if you are scared to pee your pants, I will definitely laugh at you."

A door beside them was opened, and then bright yellow vertical pupils occupied all the space of the memory picture.

For a moment, Xia De was very puzzled as to how the owner of the memory was so close to these eyes, but when the blonde witch beside him stood up abruptly from the sofa, he realized that the vertical pupils at this time were not a memory at all.

"Memory countermeasure, it doesn't matter, let me come."

The countess said unhurriedly. As the vertical pupils on the wall became more real, as if they were about to drill out of the wall, she received a small glass bottle filled with black powder from the blonde maid beside her.

Pouring the powder into her palm, she blew forward abruptly. The dancing powder burned in the air and quickly attached to the vertical pupils. After a muffled sound of "bang~," the vertical pupils exploded on the spot, and some blood-red liquid flew from the picture into the real study, and the memory ended there.

"Don't move yet, the person who deleted this memory set up tracking means. It seems the other party also has a diviner, but it should also just be a lousy diviner."

The witch chanted a spell softly again, but did not summon the life ring or the golden stairs. She threw six cards into the air to form a cube, as if wrapping some invisible thing.

"It's okay, afterward I will try to induce the other party's diviner to obtain wrong information. If luck is good, the other party really sends someone to look for it, we can obtain new clues."

She was quite confident in her anti-divination means, and Xia De did not doubt the professionalism of the Great Witch of Fate. So the maid went to turn on the lights in the study, and Xia De sat back on the sofa:

"Tonight can be considered an important step forward in the investigation. Although the memory is short, the information is not small. Miss Belindell, I don't know if you noticed, the eye that appeared at the end looks like the eye of a dragon beast."

"Dragon beast" can refer to all hybrid dragon races except pure-blooded dragons. Of course, if anyone dares to use this word to describe a dragon-born Ringed Shushi, they must be prepared to be beaten.
