Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 118 Poker Divination

for a long time,

The two fell into deep thought again.

The thoughts in their minds have already diverged and deduced along that direction.

The two bosses on the side really understood what Ren said.

It is estimated that Lei someone knows better than him.

After a while,

The bearded man's eyes burst out with a brilliant light, and he looked suddenly enlightened.

He looked at Ren, with a face full of relief and sincerity: "Thank you, little friend Ren, for clarifying the confusion. The old man has benefited a lot today."

After a pause, he looked at Ren meaningfully and carefully, and praised himself without hesitation, saying: "Her Royal Highness is indeed full of talents, and my little friend has amazing talents."

"Looking at it now, it's really not wrong for me to come here in person."

The man in the cloak also felt enlightened, and his expression was complicated, as if he had made some decisions in his heart.

Bazel, who was at the same table, wanted to talk to his poker friend, but found that he didn't understand the topic at all, so he could only laugh and say, "Ahem! Kid Ryan, you. Not bad, not bad."

As he said that, he used the little finger of his right hand to pick out his ears in a bored manner, picked out a lump of amber earwax and flicked it out, which was regarded as a sense of participation.

Ryan: "."

The same boss, why is there such a big gap?

Finally, the atmosphere is completely harmonious.

Ren also understood that they didn't mean to come for "Molin's Treasure" at all.

This made him even more curious. Why did the two bosses come here specially?

Only then did he ask: "By the way, what are you two doing here? Don't you really come to play poker with me?"

"Oh, just listening to you, I almost forgot the business."

The man in the cloak said as if he remembered a trivial matter.

He took out a letter and said: "I originally wanted to look for the eldest princess and send her a message. Now, it happens that you are here, so I can only ask you to do it for me. "

The envelope was not even sealed with wax, and it seemed that it was not afraid of being peeped at all.

"Message delivery?"

Ren felt a little unbelievable.

What kind of shocking content is in this letter, it is worth him to travel all the way to the plague base to deliver a letter.

In an instant, he caught other information in the cloaked man's words, and asked curiously, "Are you a fortune teller?"

"Yes."

The man in the cloak flicked the poker cards in his hand, rubbed his fingers together, and conjured up a hand of "four aces", and said, "Have you heard of poker divination? Although it is not as famous as tarot divination, it is also an important part of the divination sequence." branch."

Originally, this hand was quite cool.

But I never thought that there was such an idiot as Bazel on the poker table.

He said suddenly, "Hey, hey, play your cards well, don't cheat, okay? There are eight aces in two decks, and there are six in the pool. What do you mean by throwing four out?"

Cloaked man: "."

Bearded: "."

Ryan: "."

The mysterious veil of the "Seer" was instantly torn to pieces by this incomprehensible ram.

For cattle, isn't peony eaten?

Hearing this, Ren finally understood why they found him so easily.

I also understood the weird personality of this cloaked man with a split personality.

The fortune tellers in the mystery department are all chattering guys with some weird abilities.

Thinking about it, he said again: "Then since you are a fortune teller, why didn't you personally find Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to deliver the letter? To tell you the truth, I don't even know where Her Royal Highness Ymir is."

What Ren said was true, he had heard from Ymir that she was coming to find the temple, but the "Forest of Ashes" is so big, who knows where she is.

"There is a price to be paid for divination, and it is not so easy to find someone."

The man in the cloak didn't mean to hide it either. He smiled and shook his head, and said directly: "Besides, the eldest princess has means to prevent detection. I only know that she is here, but we need to pinpoint her position. Unless I don't want to live for decades, it's impossible."

Ren's face became even weirder when he heard it, "You are not sure about the location of Her Royal Highness, how do you know that I will be able to deliver the letter?"

"I'm too lazy to look for it."

The man in the cloak made his laziness very fresh and refined.

The tone is lazy, like a sleepy bug who hasn't woken up.

Then, he said a bunch of technical terms, and said: "There is also a professional term in divination called 'optimal choice divination'. It means that I don't need to know the result, but I know that such a choice can theoretically lead to the best result." s Choice."

After a pause, he said again: "So, giving you the letter is the most labor-saving way."

The words were a bit convoluted, but Ren understood: "You mean that I will meet Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess at some point in the future?"

The cloaked man shrugged: "No, I'm not sure. It's just the result of divination, you have a higher chance than others."

Ren suddenly felt that this divination was a bit of a joke, "What if my letter hasn't been delivered?"

The man in the cloak spread his hands indifferently, "Then we can only blame the eldest princess for being unlucky. Isn't a person's whole life a process of gambling with fate? After all, the envelope contains a very important piece of information. It's a matter of life and death."

"."

Ren suddenly understood Bazel a little bit. Talking to these nagging guys is a waste of brains!

Thinking about it, the postman was also determined, he didn't ask any more questions, and said, "What's your name? If I meet the eldest princess, who should I say sent the letter?"

The cloaked man grinned, "My name is... 'Clemens F. Metternich'."

Originally, it was just to entrust Rennes to help deliver the letter.

Now that Metternich heard what Ryan said before, he completely changed some ideas in his heart.

In this world, not many people caught his eye.

Now, there is one more.

The game is over and the poker is put away.

The man in the cloak looked at Ren, suddenly became interested, blinked, and said, "Mr. Ren, we're done talking about the business, let's play a game alone? If you win, I'll give you a free divination; if you lose, Just give me a gold coin."

"How to play?"

A gold coin, it sounds like the bet is not big, if you lose, you lose.

If Ren knew in advance that this is a lunatic who likes to gamble with others at every turn, he would never agree so casually.

"Draw a card and bet on it."

"good."

Ren didn't hesitate, and directly drew a card from the column that the man in the cloak had put on the table.

Anyway, it's all about luck, and it doesn't test the skills, so there's nothing to hesitate about.

He drew out a card, put it on the table without opening it, and waited for the opponent to draw a card.

And at this moment, a strange scene happened.

The man in the cloak was a step slower. He stretched out his hand to choose a poker and wanted to draw it out, but the hand pinched on the corner of the card seemed to be imprisoned by something, which made him unable to draw that thin card!

"Huh"

At this moment, he seemed to have noticed something, and his face became incredulous.

With a flash of light in his eyes, a bitter and helpless arc gradually overflowed from the corner of the cloaked man's mouth.

He suddenly let go and gave up drawing cards.

Sigh slightly.

Ren was puzzled: "You don't smoke?"

The cloaked man smiled wryly and shook his head: "No need."

"Don't you look at my points?"

"No."

The bearded administrator on the side seemed to see something, and said meaningfully: "Little friend Ren, your luck is really good."

Ren was confused: "What's wrong?"

Could it be that something happened just now that I didn't understand?

"nothing."

"So did I win or lose?"

"Won."

"Then you want to help me divination?"

"The result is out."

"???"

"Divination: turning bad luck into good luck."

"."

That's it?

Don't fiddle with psychics, and then chant spells or something? No matter how bad it is, the crystal ball has to be touched

This guy said he was a fortune teller, so he couldn't be a parallel importer, right?

Ren felt that the Chaofan of the Mystic Department were indeed chatterers.

After dealing with these guys for a long time, I can hardly speak normally.

It's like a great monk playing a machine, and the content is all about guessing.

Then, no more.

The two uninvited guests came together and left together.

Before leaving, the bearded man smiled and said, "Little friend Ren, we will see you in the future."

The cloaked man also showed his signature squinting smile, and said to him, "Suddenly, I feel that this world is starting to be interesting."

"."

Only Ren was puzzled.

Seeing that the people had gone away, he realized that the man in the cloak had left a poker behind.

It's the one I just pulled out.

Wanting to remind, when I looked up again, the person had disappeared.

He thought about it and opened it.

A colorful "clown card".

Seeing the person leave, Bazel also heaved a sigh of relief.

He suddenly asked Ren: "What did you talk to them just now?"

Ren was taken aback, and asked back, "Didn't you listen to the whole process?"

Bazel smacked his lips: "I got those words into my ears, but they didn't want to get into my brain, and ran out by themselves."

"."

Hearing this, Ren didn't know what to say: "Do you know those two just now?"

Bazel: "You don't know?"

Ren: "I only know that the bearded old man is the administrator of the library. I don't know about the other guy named Metternich."

Bazel let out a chuckle: "Big beard? Do you call Master Kavo, the head of the 'Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters', Big Beard?"

Sure enough, the one who guessed.

Ren just wanted to swear. He went to the library for so long and met every day, but he didn't realize that he was a top expert.

He complained again: "That man is Master Kavo? You have been to the library with me so many times, why didn't you remind me?"

If I had reminded earlier, I would have hugged my thighs too.

Who the hell knew that any old librarian would have such a big background!

To Ren's surprise, Bazel shook his head: "I haven't seen him once in the library."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Ren was stunned.

But the old man reading a book that I saw every time, could it be a ghost?

Bazel seemed to have guessed Ren's doubts, and explained: "Master Kavo's magic cultivation has reached the extreme level that no one in the world can understand. If he doesn't want to be seen, he will not be seen .Especially in that library."

Ren: "What's so special about the library?"

A hint of fear appeared in Bazel's eyes, and he said, "That is the most powerful magic tower in Glory City."

After a pause, Bazel continued: "Even just now, what you saw was not his body, but a projection of a magic clone."

"Can you beat Master Kavo in your heyday?"

"You asked a stupid question."

"."

"Who is that fellow Metternich?"

"A staff member next to Prince Omar. A very weird guy! I didn't guess it before, but I confirmed it today. He should be a disciple of the 'Gambler Sequence' Olatu K Kant. The Gambler Sequence is only passed down from one generation to the next. One person, if that guy shows up, Kant should be dead."

Sure enough, another "Ten Legends"!

Ren didn't have many surprises, but what he was curious about was: the aides around the eldest prince actually came here to send a letter to Ymir?

He looked at the thin envelope in his hand again, his gaze was a little complicated.

It's not easy to be a "postman" myself.
