Extraordinary Mechanical City

When he was at the "Plague Base", Rennes and Metternich made a bet once.

If you win, you get a divination saying "turning bad luck into good luck".

Although I don't know the meaning of that kind of divination, it seems that it doesn't matter if you lose.

I am the one who "encounters bad luck" and I am the one who "turns good luck". It seems that it doesn't matter whether there is divination or not.

Now Metternich had another gamble.

Anyway, there is no price to pay for losing, and Ren is right to accompany this guy to spend his gambling addiction before he dies.

He asked: "Still draw cards to compare the size? Then you draw first, or should I draw first?"

An imperceptible sharpness flashed in Metternich's eyes, and he spread out fifty-four cards on the table, and said lightly, "Mr. Wren, please."

Ren just felt that his tone was a little too polite.

This guy doesn't even look down on the emperor and empress, but he doesn't seem to be polite just because he is a city lord.

Anyway, the rules are very simple, there is no need to waste time on card selection.

He didn't think much about it, he stretched out his hand just like last time, and drew out a playing card.

But at this time, for some reason, Ren suddenly thought of the sentence he said with squinting eyes before, and he couldn't help thinking: "The chance of me drawing a certain card is really fifty-four points." one of them?"

Probably speaking, it is.

But he always felt that the words of squinting his eyes seemed to make sense.

But under the influence of "luck", the "probability" really shouldn't be fixed.

Just like in a gambling game, in theory, everyone has the same probability of getting a good card or a bad card. But people with good luck will always get good cards frequently; and people with bad luck will get bad cards all night.

But it was this card draw that caused a problem.

Ymir on the side thought that he had discovered something, and suddenly changed his face, and shouted softly: "Ren, be careful!"

Ren thought it was just the same gamble as in the "Plague Base" before, so he drew out a card and wanted to look through it to see what it was.

But at this moment, he found that the magic lines on the back of the card he drew lit up.

Obviously, this is the activation of some kind of special prohibition.

But the weirder thing is right in front of your eyes.

At this moment, although there was a relaxed smile on the corner of Metternich's mouth, two phantoms with scythes, cloaks covering their heads, and steaming black air suddenly appeared beside him.

This phantom shape is exactly the same as some legendary "Reaper" in this world!

Two "black phantoms" put the sickle on Metternich's neck. This scene seems to be on the guillotine, waiting for the executioner to be executed.

Once there is a result, it will be executed immediately.

As soon as the black shadow came out, the whole room was immediately enveloped in a thick sense of death.

"Damn it. What's the situation?"

Ren's eyelids twitched, and he complained in his heart.

As soon as this phantom appeared, he immediately felt a cold feeling with goosebumps all over his body. He knew very well that it was not the temperature change in the room, but the shivering feeling from the soul.

That certain "existence" beyond the existing cognition.

Is this "Shadow of Chain Knife" really the god of death?

Looking at Ymir and Andrew, who were facing the enemy, Metternich waved his hand and explained: "Don't be nervous, this magic pattern is only for me, and it won't hurt Mr. Wren."

Metternich seemed to be very clear about the origins of the two phantoms beside him, and there was no trace of panic on his face, and he still had the calm expression before, as if he didn't care about anything.

At this moment, Ren looked at the poker cards that had not been turned over in his hand, and immediately understood what was going on.

He asked, "Is this your 'Destiny Card'?"

"yes."

Metternich admitted very simply, shrugged, and expressed his apology: "Sorry, Mr. Wren. In order to save you from too much burden, I asked you to help me without telling me. .”

After a pause, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said again: "Because, I think you will definitely win, but you don't want to smoke, so you have to make a bad move."

The tone of these words seemed to be determined.

Ren's face twitched when he heard it, and he muttered in his heart: I didn't think I would win, how do you think?

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in the cause and effect, but felt very helpless, and said to himself: "Didn't you say that you can gamble casually?"

"This is the game of betting."

Metternich smiled, suddenly turned serious, and said solemnly: "However, my bet is that you will win!"

"."

Ren was a little confused when he heard that, are you betting that I will win?

What good does it do you if I win?

However, it immediately occurred to him that there was only one card that could win.

His face became very strange, and he blurted out: "You bet that I can get the 'JOKER card'?"

"yes."

Metternich nodded, narrowed his eyes with a flash of cold light, and said softly, "Because you can win against me only if you take that card!"

But at this time, he didn't have any time for people to react, and without any choice, he directly drew a card from the poker, and then opened it to look.

But it is a black and white "JOKER card"!

"."

Ren watched this guy draw cards domineeringly like a "god of gamblers", and his face jumped.

Come on, now there is really only one card that can win, and that is the "Color JOKER".

If Metternich wins this bet, he will die.

If he loses, he can live instead.

That's why he bet on Ryan to win.

Ren really couldn't understand the mentality of gamblers.

Brother, this is betting on your own life, you just let someone smoke you so casually?

Also, you yourself, a "professional gambler", have no confidence, but you believe that I will definitely be able to draw that one?

Metternich didn't seem to feel that his destiny was in the hands of others at all, and he still had a calm expression on his face.

At this time, he also reminded with a smile: "Mr. Ren, flop. See if I guessed it right."

"."

Ren frowned unconsciously.

Only then did I understand why before the bet just now, this guy only said "how to win", but not "how to lose".

Metternich played very big, in fact, betting two games at the same time.

One bet against destiny, betting on oneself to win.

Two bet with Ren, and bet on himself to lose.

They are all betting on their lives.

Ren suddenly felt that the cards in his hand were a bit heavy.

As long as you open the "Color JOKER" that is not one-fifty-fourth, the smiling and squinting guy in front of you will immediately burp.

Although he didn't kill him, his death was related to himself.

It doesn't feel good.

Metternich seemed to see through the embarrassment on Ryan's face, and said: "Mr. Ryan, it may seem to you that my move is a bit crazy. But on the contrary, I have never been sober at this moment. So, you don't have to think There's too much pressure."

Ren frowned and said nothing.

And this recovery, Metternich said again: "Mr. Wren, do you know what I just said 'I understand'?"

"oh?"

Ryan looked all ears.

Metternich's expression suddenly became a little serious, and he said: "My deduction, theoretically speaking, there will never be such a big mistake that is wrong from beginning to end. Because I am also sure that there are no absolutely random events in the world. Any Everything can be traced back to the source, and causality can be found. Even if it seems disorderly, guessing the probability of gambling is actually affected by luck.”

He went on to say: "But we also have a saying in the 'gambler sequence' that 99.9999% of the things in the world have a cause and effect, but there is also a line, which is a truly random, unforeseen event. It's like the 'JOKER card' in poker ', it is the 'random' outside the rules!"

"I didn't understand these words before. It wasn't until I saw your appearance, Mr. Ren, and your 'Black Dragon City' turned out, that I understood the true meaning of the 'Gambler Sequence' !"

"You are the real 'JOKER card' in this era!"

"."

What Metternich said was impassioned, but Ren listened in a daze.

In all odds, quantum mechanics.

He felt that Metternich would probably have been a pretty good physicist if he had lived in his world.

But when they heard these words again, the expressions of Ymir and Andrew who were not far away changed in unison.

Standing at their height, they understood something.

More importantly, they saw that Metternich's momentum suddenly changed!

Ymir's expression was very complicated, and he murmured something, as if explaining something to Ren: "His realm has broken through."

"."

Break through?

Hearing this, Ren didn't know what to say.

Is the "Gambler Sequence" so buggy?

Break through with one gamble?

He suddenly thought of himself.

Comprehend a "fist", advanced to an extraordinary world, stuck him to death.

That's great, "The great insight between life and death" and others have to experience it, exhausting themselves, and it may not be possible.

They gamblers just played poker with their lives and broke through?

However, it's just a sore heart.

If Ren were to be given the option to advance to the "Gambler Sequence", he would definitely not take this path.

In other words, anyone with a normal brain is not suitable for this extraordinary sequence.

But then again, isn't this guy already one of the "Top Ten Legends"?

After he breaks through, what realm is he in?

Metternich seemed to see through Ryan's doubts at a glance, and before asking, he explained: "I broke through the legend. I saw a new realm."

His tone was suddenly full of arrogance, and he said in a deep voice, "A realm in the legend of our 'Gambler's Line' - a new sequence of cards!"

Ren didn't ask what the realm was.

Asked, he knew but could not understand.

But he knew that he still held a card in his hand.

He asked: "Mr. Metternich, this card?"

To flip or not to flip?

"Of course it is opened."

Metternich smiled confidently: "I think I made the right bet. So, the moment you draw the cards, I know I have lost and I have won."

Ren was not babbling either. After being "brainwashed" by this guy's determined tone, he himself felt that he must have a "Colorful Joker" in his hand.

When he turned it over, he first revealed a colored "J", and then he knew what this card was.

It really is a "clown card".

The funny red-nosed clown on the poker looks so unpredictable at this moment.

This result seems incredible, but it was already expected.

"It really is this one, I said, right?"

Metternich smiled lightly.

With the calmest mind, he gambled his life once.

He won.

Neither sad nor happy, as if everything was under control.

And the moment the poker was turned over, the two black phantoms next to this guy with sickles on his neck suddenly disappeared.

The trembling feeling in the room suddenly turned into nothingness.

"I used to think that the legend was the end of the extraordinary, and that choosing one of fifty-four was the 'ultimate sequence of cards'."

He looked at Ren, and continued: "Now I heard you said about Black Dragon City, and I heard you said that there is a whole new world beyond the fog. Only then did I realize that my ability was restricted by 'limited cognition' before." Limitation... And now, I have broken through my cognition, so I will naturally break through."

Ren didn't know what new extraordinary realm this guy had comprehended, and he was confused.

Metternich didn't say much, looked at Ren, and said solemnly: "Mr. Ren, I can survive this time, thanks to your help. I owe you my life"

"."

Ren was noncommittal, but when he thought about it, it seemed that he didn't help much.

Just flipped the flop.

He said, "Well, are you going to leave here now?"

Now that he didn't have to die, he naturally had to consider the previous question, whether to leave the imperial capital of Omar.

"certainly."

Metternich responded decisively, and said with a smile: "It seems pretty good to be able to watch Omar collapse with my own eyes, and watch that old thing and that queen die in front of my eyes. Besides. If Mr. Wren welcomes you, I will I also want to see the miraculous 'Black Dragon City'."

Metternich kept saying "Omar collapsed", which made Andrew on the side very harsh.

"Hey, boy."

He warned coldly: "Doppler is soft-hearted, and I will give you a chance to survive. If you don't know what is good and what is bad, and you still do evil after you go out, this old man will definitely kill you!"

"Old man, although you are very powerful, but if I want to leave, you can't keep me."

Metternich didn't seem to care about the threat of this great Qigong master at all, but said coldly: "Besides, I said before that my life has never been given by anyone. If I really want to say that I should be grateful, it is not the old man. things, but Mr. Wren."

Andrew's eyebrows twitched: "You"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Ren on the side was afraid that the two would fight like this.

But before he could do anything, Metternich smiled and said, "Don't worry, Oma's current situation is doomed. No matter what I do or don't do, it won't change."

What he said was more like speaking to Ren.

Ren didn't care, he and Ymir were only responsible for taking people out of the imperial capital.

Such a living person, and a legend with unfathomable abilities, they don't have the ability to restrict his freedom.

And Metternich didn't seem to want to continue entangled in this issue, and he took the initiative to say: "By the way, Mr. Ren. Didn't I say that I will give you a divination if I lose?"

Ren didn't care, and responded casually: "Okay."

He thought it would be like last time, Metternich would casually say something that seemed to be a result of divination.

But he didn't want to, but this guy took out a poker card this time, and said curiously: "I'm also curious, how many years will my lifespan be consumed by Mr. Ren's "JOKER" with great luck?"

Ren: "Will this divination consume lifespan?"

Metternich raised his eyebrows: "Generally not. But certain divination will."

Ren: "Last time too?"

"Last time?"

Metternich asked back, seeming to think back for a moment, then squinted and said: "When we met last time, Mr. Wren's luck was far worse than now."

The familiar feeling came again.

With this kind of extraordinary dialogue of the mysterious department, it is right to talk about it.

Ren didn't ask in detail, and said, "If you want to consume your life, forget it."

He felt that if he got the same divination result as last time, it didn't matter whether he listened or not.

Anyway, even if there is no "fierce", he will always be careful.

"No. Since you lost, you have to admit defeat."

Metternich shook his head with a smile, and insisted on flipping over the first divination poker.
