Chapter 70: Winning Round

Terrified in his heart by the 21 points in his hand, he tried to keep his face calm on the surface. Except for Baron Lu Anda, the others watching had already started to congratulate him.

In the second round, Xia De saw the sum of the other party's first two cards was 11, and the third card directly exceeded 21 points, so he gave up continuing to draw cards because the two cards in his hand totaled 16.

Baron Lu Anda's expression on the opposite side was already wrong.

In the third round, Xia De couldn't remember clearly what the other party's cards were, but when he saw that his face-up card was King, he was terrified again and almost couldn't help checking the surroundings.

Because the face-up card was "King," he didn't touch the face-down card again. And Baron Lu Anda didn't have the luck to draw King and Wang Hou, nor did he have the luck to draw 21 points, and lost again.

In the fourth round, Xia De's face-up card was Wang Hou...

"Is it you who is doing something?"

Even he couldn't help but ask the voice in his head.

【The 'Another Face' of a Ringed Shushi cannot interfere with reality.】

"But you are not the usual situation."

【I am special because of you, and I cannot directly interfere with reality. And even if I could, why would I interfere with the card game?】

The whispering voice answered in his mind, still as pleasant as ever. Xia De also thought the other party wasn't that bored, so he believed the other party's words, but Baron Lu Anda clearly didn't believe Xia De.

He gasped for air, and in the excited discussion around the table, he looked at the Wang Hou on the table. It took a long time before he demanded to re-examine Baron La Wen De's deck. After the examination, he changed someone else to shuffle the cards for the fifth round. Mr. Candela, the original shuffler who was suspected, was therefore very unhappy and stood under the grape trellis sulking.

"Detective, I don't care if you are lucky or something else, at least this time I won."

Only getting two cards, Baron Lu Anda said, showing the "King" of the face-down card he flipped over.

The cards just used could not be added to the game, at least not in this round. So it was impossible for Xia De's deck to have "King" and "Wang Hou" anymore, so unless he got 21 points, it was impossible for him to win this round.

Xia De's face-up card was Sun 13, and the face-down card he flipped over was Flower 13. People immediately exclaimed excitedly, not because the young detective finally lost, but because the Flower 13 of Baron La Wen De's deck was the special rule card 【Northern City · Aitaike City】.

According to the rules, Xia De could roll a die. Once the die number was 20, he could re-draw a card. And in the current state, if it wasn't 20, he indeed lost this round.

Xia De of course wouldn't use the 【Relic】 Fate's Twenty-Sided Dice he held to play this kind of game. He picked up the one Baron Lu Anda had just used. This was the first time he had come into contact with ivory products.

The people around immediately held their breath. Xia De didn't understand their excitement. After all, even if the die number wasn't 20, he was still leading 4 to 1 in the third round.

Throwing it lightly, the white ivory die spun on the stone table. People stretched their necks in unison. When the number 20 stopped facing up, Xia De was really worried that Baron La Wen De on his left would have a heart attack due to being too excited.

"This game will be discussed by us until the end of the year."

Baron La Wen De, who had a beautiful mustache, said tremblingly:

"I have never rolled a 20 once since I got this card."

Xia De shrugged, not questioning the other party's bad luck. He took his next card. He already knew the result in his heart without flipping it over:

"If this card is an 8 of any suit, I will have 21 points and win, but this kind of luck is absolutely wrong."

Using the candlelight of the candlestick on the stone table, he tilted his head and looked from below, then hesitated and observed the expression of his opponent Baron Lu Anda, confirming that the other party would not have a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, before flipping over Sun 8.

Perhaps this game could be discussed by the Luo De card players watching until the next year.

"You really didn't interfere with the game?"

He asked in a low voice again, and then it seemed like a woman was whispering by his ear. This phenomenon was very wonderful, because there was clearly no such space behind him:

【Even if I had such ability, why would I do such a boring thing?】

"But the current situation is clearly not normal!"

He thought in his heart while smiling and accepting people's congratulations. Ringed Shushi were probably all proficient in such multitasking.

【You can ponder, what exactly could cause such abnormal luck?】

Xia De got the answer almost immediately. This was too obvious. He hadn't experienced many things since coming to this world:

"Fate's Twenty-Sided Dice? The 20 points thrown, must be good things that happen because of this? But why did Luo De card luck get better? What does this have to do with it? And, the meaning of the dice must be clearly manifested in front of me. Now this is just a guess."

Xia De's victory also meant that Baron La Wen De won two of the three games. Although he didn't win the first game, he did win this Luo De card game.

Baron Lu Anda, although he was quite angry at the Sun 8 Xia De finally had, gave the Luo De card 【Ancient Fairy Tale · Match Girl】 with special rules and special card faces to Xia De according to the agreement with grace, and gave 20 pounds of cash to Sir Solar.

This baron actually really brought so much cash to attend the outdoor banquet.

Baron Lu Anda lost, but he had no negative views on Xia De. On the contrary, he invited Xia De to play Luo De cards together when he had time very enthusiastically, and Xia De of course agreed perfunctorily.

"This card, I spent a lot of effort to win it."

The baron handed the Match Girl to Xia De while glancing at Baron La Wen De. Baron La Wen De was the card's owner before last, and Baron Lu Anda was clearly deliberately angering him.

"You must keep it well. I hope to see it in your hands when we play cards together next time. Detective Hamilton, if you don't want to keep this card and want to sell it, you must contact me first. Even if I borrow money, I will definitely acquire it... Of course, Luo De card enthusiasts like us cannot sell special cards at will."

He also glanced at Baron La Wen De, clearly warning the other party that once he took this card from Xia De, his reputation might be at stake.

The mustachioed baron who was accepting congratulations from friends under the grape trellis raised his head slightly:

"This is of course, Xia De, you must keep this card well."

His relationship with Xia De shouldn't be good enough to call him by his first name directly, and this sentence meant that Xia De had to act as a card custodian for a period of time.

"Of course, I will keep it well."

Xia De clipped the card into his notebook and put the notebook back into his coat pocket.

Baron La Wen De of course wouldn't discuss the matter of 【Ancient Fairy Tale · Match Girl】 with Xia De at the banquet, but he wanted to invite Xia De to spend the rest of the banquet time together after this game.

Unfortunately, Xia De was still thinking about Doctor Shi Nai De's matter, so he could only politely decline the Baron and his friends. After leaving the grape trellis, he walked toward the path the doctor left while thinking about his inexplicable good luck. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
