Whispering Verse

Chapter 2815 [Destiny Casino]

In the frozen dream, a moment seemed to be eternal. The lady who admired the moon embraced Shade, listening to the "other me" beside her saying things like "the power of the curse is triggered" and "you have some understanding of time", and then gradually felt that she was being driven away by this dream.

So she finally looked at Shade, and when she opened her eyes on the seat, the young man was no longer on the seat beside her, and only the silver ring was lying there shining brightly.

She picked up the ring and held it in her palm, sitting in the dark performance hall looking at the empty stage, feeling extremely lost for some reason.

(Little Mia running.)

Shade on the other side certainly did not return to the late autumn of 1854. Although Ms. Helena Carter's conjecture and approach made sense, if it was so easy to go to the future, the time stability of the material world would be too poor.

Shade, who was sleeping in a dream, felt vaguely that he was not leaning against a big tree, but against something soft. But when he woke up again, he found himself standing in a familiar white mist:

"So, is this successful?"

The glowing white mist filled every corner of his vision. This situation was very familiar to Shade:

"It doesn't look like it's successful. Where is this place?"

[Stranger, you entered the "Destiny Casino". ]

"She" beside him laughed softly, and Shade blinked, suspecting that he had heard it wrong. Although this was the first time he heard the name, combined with the naming method and the surrounding environment, it was hard for him not to think that this place was similar to the [Space Maze], [Earth Core Furnace], and [Holy White Hall]:

"Destiny. Casino? Wait, the ancient god of destiny [Mr. Huan] is also called [Ouroboros], so that [Ouroboros Ring] can't be"

After walking two more steps forward, the clanging sound of dice falling and colliding with each other gradually became clearer. Continuing forward, countless people's shouting and yelling came from the white mist.

The sound did not make Shade feel too noisy, but it was like a background sound that did not make him pay too much attention.

Continuing to walk forward, the white fog gradually dissipated, the surrounding walls rose, and a table appeared not far in front of him.

When Shade came to the table, the hall had taken shape. The four golden walls, ceiling, and floor together formed a place that looked larger than Saint Teresa Square.

Countless tables were densely packed and irregularly arranged here, but because there was still white fog here, Shade could see the figures of people around those tables, and could hear countless people shouting here, but he could only see the table in front of him clearly.

The table was rectangular, with curved corners and a green table carpet on the table. Judging from the squares drawn on the table carpet, this was clearly a standard Rhodes card gambling table.

"It's really a casino. But the problem is that even if there is no need for a referee, there must be at least an opponent to gamble."

He thought to himself and came to one end of the long table, and then a figure came out of the fog from another blurry gambling table near this table:

"Everyone who comes here to find a turning point in their fate will leave a shadow of their own, and the opponents of the later ones are those who have won something from this casino."

The figure said, and after coming to the opposite side of Shade, Shade saw that it was a tall and thin old gentleman. The other party's clothes obviously did not belong to the steam age of the sixth era, and the other party was indeed not a human being. He was more like a mixture of memories, shadows, spirits, and other things that Shade could not explain.

The old gentleman put his hands on both sides of the table:

"What you want to win here is the chance to go back to 1854, right?"

Although he was still a little confused about this, Shade nodded:

"Yes, I can go back as long as I win, right?"

"Don't be so anxious. Since it's a gamble, in addition to the prize, you also need your own bet."

His eyes swept over Shade:

"The key hanging on your chest, or the sword with a scabbard in your hand, can be used as a bet. Don't say that this casino is unfair. What you want is to accurately locate a future time point without endangering the stability of time."

Shade nodded in agreement, but did not take the key. The key belonged to Long-haired Luvia, and he couldn't take the risk.

So he put [Night Watcher] on the table:

"Shall we bet on Rhodes? What are the rules?"

The old gentleman put his hand on the table, and then a complete deck of cards appeared under his hand:

"This is your first time here, and I'm sure you will come many times, so let's keep it simple this time.

Draw a card, we bet on the size, the bigger the number, the winner, the same number, the sun is bigger than the moon, bigger than the stars, bigger than the flowers, the king is bigger than the queen, they are bigger than any number."

"Okay, this is easy."

Shad also took out his deck and put it on the table, but the old gentleman did not ask Shad to shuffle the cards or check each other's decks, but motioned Shad to say with him:

"Let's have a fair bet in the name of Mr. Huan, and may the Ouroboros protect me in my unpredictable fate."

Swear in the name of the ancient gods to avoid cheating.

After that, Shade opened the top card of his deck. Although he remembered that the top card of his deck was Star 12's [Big City Player·Torbesk Champion of 1853], but after opening it, It is the common card "Flower 11".

As for the old gentleman opposite, the card he revealed was the Moon 7:

"You win."

He shook his head:

"Newbies always have novice luck. Congratulations, and I look forward to your coming back next time and bringing more valuable bets. Destiny Casino welcomes people like you who have an unpredictable destiny."

"But how do you get in here?"

Shade was puzzled, put down his cards, and pressed the old gentleman on the edge of the table with both hands again, then smiled and said:

"When you are ready to use everything you have to seek the possibility of a change in destiny, [Destiny Casino] will definitely open the door for you. Or, ouroboros will point the way for you."

(Little Mia is running.)

In the current world, in the sixth era, in the autumn of 1854 in the universal calendar, on the 16th of the Moon of Dead Leaves, at 2:07 a.m., in the Accordion Hotel, Vista City, Carsonrick United Kingdom.

The red-haired girl who was waiting for the news in the hotel seemed a little anxious. When Iluna received the news and left half an hour ago, she was already worried about Sha De's situation. Soon after, the news came that Sha De had already Safe, but counting the time, they should have been back long ago.

At this time, besides her, there were Miss Bell and two witch followers from Central in the hotel, but she didn't want to tell them her worries.

The neighborhoods in the eastern part of the city seemed to be on fire, and the golden thunder that streaked across the sky not long ago had long since disappeared. She already regretted that she had agreed to stay instead of letting Flora stay.

There was nothing she could do about it just being anxious, but she decided that if there was no news by three o'clock, she would leave the hotel and go look for them in the woods by herself.

I returned to the sofa from the window and wanted to pick up the book spread out on the coffee table, but I felt that I was not in the mood to read it even if I picked up the book. At this moment, a white and silver light appeared around him, and then a letter floated out of the flash.

She recognized that this was the letter-delivery method used by Professor Pigman, the Principal of St. Byrons and the "Keeper of Silver", and the brief letter read:

[Professor Danister, come to the principal’s office to see me. I have something urgent to talk to you about. I’ll take about five minutes of your time. 】

Below is the signature and the red principal's seal, and inside the envelope is a piece of fiery red feather. This is a feather from a sage-level relic called the [Piercing Bird], which is the most commonly used space item in the academy. Unfortunately, the effect of this relic can only make the triggerer of the feather appear around the relic, instead of traveling through space at will.

"It's two o'clock in the middle of the night. Will there be anything important about Emilia at this time?"

So she said hello to Miss Bell, held the feather and appeared in the corridor on the fifth floor of the college's main castle. After reaching out to let the big fiery red bird that wanted to beg for food return to its cage, he said a few words to the students who were guarding the relic, and then knocked on the door of the principal's office.

The door of the principal's office is silver. It is a door leaf made by the "Silver Guardian" himself. It is second only to the college door and the library door in terms of strength inside the college.

Behind the door is not an ordinary office, but a spiral staircase. Because the principal's office is not a single room, but the east side tower of the entire college's main castle.

There is no need to climb the stairs, they will automatically rotate upward after stepping on them. Behind the door at the end of the stairs is the principal's office, and the other areas of the tower are the principal's private rooms.

The room is illuminated by gas lamps, and a brass clock is clicking its hands in the corner. There are several decorative oil paintings hanging on the walls of the office, but they are not portraits of past presidents of the college, but scenery from all over the college. ——These oil paintings are actually portals that can directly connect to the locations described in the paintings.

The pet mouse was lying on the purple cushion in the corner of the desk with its eyes closed, while the principal in formal clothes was waiting for her behind the desk:

"Good evening, Professor Daniste, please take a seat."

The red-haired girl was already very familiar with the furnishings in the principal's office. She nodded, took off her illusion disguise, and sat on the chair outside the magnificent desk:

"Good evening, Professor Pigman. Where is Amelia? Isn't this the case? You didn't call me over so late. Do you want to discuss next year's college funding?"

PS: I really shouldn’t have put that paragraph into the text yesterday, so I’ll add another chapter today.
