The Wager That Stakes Their Lives! / A Trap of Words: From Certain Defeat to Certain Victory!
Is it possible that the other party knows magic? Really see through? The other party is not human?
But the problem here is that there is a prerequisite for the duel, that is, it can only be a human gambler.
If there are other Created Species, you cannot participate in this competition, and the game will be invalid.
Since it is still being done under [Ten Pledges], it means that it is the human species, so I cannot understand how it is done.
Therefore, Stephanie is also very curious, and she can't figure out how to get out of trouble.
I don't see anything wrong with this deck of cards..
Chapter 588 A life-threatening bet!
Article 8 of [Ten Pledges] - If there is any improper behavior in the game, once exposed, it will be regarded as a defeat.
This does not prohibit players from cheating, but it means that only when the opponent sees through the cheating method, it will be regarded as a defeat.
In other words, it is actually possible to cheat in the game, as long as the opponent is blinded and cannot see how it is done.
In this case, winning means winning, and the losing party can only pay the price according to the bet.
Therefore, the appearance of Bai Yue is to test how restrictive [Ten Pledges] is.
It's no wonder that today's human race has lost to this city.
After other races adapted to playing games with humans, they also realized through a little trial and error that they could actually use supernatural powers such as magic to deceive humans.
As long as humans can't understand how cheating is done, winning the game will be easy.
Therefore, when competing with other races, humans who do not have Elf Corridor nerves and cannot use magic may not realize that they have been possessed by magic from the beginning, and compete stupidly.
It was simply being played around.
Even though the content of the competition was proposed by humans and they tried their best to add some conditions to restrict the use of other races' abilities, the disadvantage was still too great.
In the blink of an eye, after it became dusk, he had already harvested a lot of gold coins, not from one person, but from multiple people.
Normally, everyone knows that he is cheating, so they should not be fooled. Then why can he get so much? 340 The reason is very simple, because he keeps increasing the return rate. From the beginning, as long as the opponent wins, it will be five times the gold coin return, giving a little improvement.
ten times
twenty times
Thirty times
Until now fifty times.
At such a magnification, there will eventually be people who are interested and want to take a gamble.
Suddenly, a figure walked over. It was a petite figure wearing a black veil and a black dress. Such an outfit would give people the feeling of a widow.
Then, Bai Yue was also keenly aware of several figures blending into the bar silently.
These few seemed to be in the same group as this petite figure.
"I'll bet with you"
The girl said so plainly, and then put the box of gold coins she was carrying directly on it. After opening it, a golden light was revealed.
Then he pushed——
"All-in? If I win, I can't afford the compensation."
"You don't need to accompany me fifty times as much. If you lose, just give me everything you have now."
"Okay, but I want to change it to a fun game, how about it?"
"Okay"
He accepted it without hesitation. This is because he is very confident that he can win over him, right?
And his suggestion to change the game was naturally frowned upon by some people around him, thinking that he couldn't afford it because he had met someone who could really tell the difference.
"Wow~"
Stephanie suddenly made a panicked sound, because after the boy in front of her took out two small boxes, one of the boxes contained several small shiny black balls, and suddenly stuffed one into her mouth, and accidentally bit it open.
What is this? Somewhat bitter, but also sweet.
"Chocolate, a snack, don't worry"
After saying this, he also opened another box, which contained small black balls of the same specifications, but there were only two.
He just took out one, put it on the table, and then took out a small knife and plunged it into it.
The next second, smoke was seen, and the liquid flowing out of the cut black ball was rapidly eroding and melting into a hole on the tabletop.
When Stephanie witnessed this scene, her eyes almost popped out as soon as she swallowed it.
"Don't worry, what you are eating is a chocolate snack, and the exact same one on it is actually a highly toxic poison."
He explained it this way, but it also made Stephanie feel a little chilled in his heart.
I squirmed my throat and didn't feel anything wrong, so it should be fine.
After all, if he could melt through the table so quickly, he would definitely have a problem with his throat soon.
Suddenly, Stephanie, who also wanted to understand something, started to sweat on her face. She realized what kind of bet this guy might make next.
"The next bet between the two of us is very simple."
After saying this, he put another poison into the so-called pile of chocolate, then covered it, shook it, and reopened it.
All of a sudden, no one knew which one was the problem.
Therefore, everyone roughly understood what the next game was and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Then, he formally stated the rules of the two-person bet: the two participants took turns eating the six pills he gave them, and the one who took them lost, and the one who gave up lost.
"How?"
"No problem"
The girl in black gauze accepted it without hesitation.
And when some of the people around him who had just lost to him were about to say something——
"Of course, in order to shut up some people, I will also add this rule, that is, I will not take any antidote or the like in advance, so it is okay to eat it. If I behave like this, it will be considered a defeat."
This additional condition immediately silenced those who wanted to say anything, because they were worried that he would cheat like this.
"Similarly, if this lady also takes it, she cannot use any means to make the poison ineffective, especially the secret assistance of a third party. She must take it in a normal human state without being affected by any factors."
With this additional condition, Bai Yue could detect the slight stiffness of the girl in black gauze.
"How?"
"Okay"
It seemed that he accepted it without hesitation, but there was a slight hesitation.
"Are there no other conditions?"
"Well, I would like to add another one. The six pills in this box are not affected by any force. For example, if one of the pills I picked up was suddenly interfered with by a third party, it would be replaced by other pills."
"W-what do you mean?"
The girl in black gauze sounded angry, feeling like she was being humiliated.
After all, any smart person can understand the meaning of Bai Yue's words, that is, the girl in black veil may secretly collude with other races and let other races secretly help her win.
Isn't this an insinuation that she was raped?
"Oops? Are you so angry? Ah, do you think I think you colluded with other Created Species to cheat? Sorry, I didn't mean that. I thought there might be a third party who wants to cause trouble, so I added such restrictions so that third parties can't interfere."
At this, the other party's body shook slightly.
"In this way, it's up to you to decide who comes to eat first. How about giving you such a choice?"
"So? Are there any rules?"
The other party's impatient answer seemed to be indifferent to the priority given by him, but Bai Yue was still slightly aware of the other party's reaction - joy.
"No more, that's it, let's start?"
"Then start!"
"Wait, wait a minute, are you crazy?"
This is when Stephanie hurriedly stopped. She realized that there was a big fatal problem with the priority he gave.
If, if the other party can also see which one is the real poison.
Then, the opponent who has the right to choose will definitely win.
Six in total, right?
If the other party chooses to eat first, then they will definitely choose it, no problem.
And this guy can see it and will choose to eat it without any problem, but here comes the problem.
The other person eats it first, and he still takes turns, so the last one left is poison, and it happens to be his turn.
Isn't he bound to lose?
However, Stephanie's call to stop was not heard by the two of them at all. It had already sent out [Pledge of Allegiance].
Damn it, you idiot!.
Chapter 589: Literal trap, inevitable defeat becomes inevitable victory!
Kramijel, that is, a girl dressed in black.
She also came here for the purpose of running for Human King, so after seeing a dark horse who eliminated a lot of people in a row, of course she also wanted to eliminate him.
As for the specific secrets hidden in the opponent's playing cards, to be honest, she really didn't know.
But, she has a way to win the game~ right.
The other party actually changed the game content immediately after she launched the challenge, but she didn't care.
But as the other party put forward some additional conditions, her face under the veil gradually became stiff.
Her hands under the table gradually tightened, and she kept adding restrictions, as if she was rejecting the assistance of a third party. Until those words seemed to say that she was a traitor to mankind, she really couldn't hold back her emotions.
So, is this because she cannot accept being slandered?
This, this cannot be said to be like this, she did rely on the power of a third party - the power of her race.
However, this was her choice to save humanity.
At least this way, humans can continue to live in a sustainable life circle. Although it will be much worse than before, at least they can survive.
Then, she also suspected that the person she was targeting was colluding with other Created Species behind the scenes, so she made such additional conditions, such as not being able to use magic.
Then wouldn't this limit the power of the race that colludes with the other party?
It's hard to say, because the person the other party is colluding with may be Orc race.
Orc race also cannot use elves or magic, but Orc race has unimaginable super-sense and can read people's hearts to a certain extent.
It is through this method that you can see through your opponent and then secretly inform the person in front of you.
So how do you secretly tell the person in front of you? Isn't this an easy problem to detect?
However, to inform someone secretly, you don't have to come up close or whisper into your ear. You can use hints in some ways.
For example, making a gesture represents a certain meaning.
Therefore, there might be Orc race in this bar, conveying information to the other party through some means.
However, Kramy didn't find it either. Of course, it's normal for her to be difficult to find as a human being, but her partner Forest Elf race didn't find it either.
This may be because the enemy is deeply hidden.
When the guy named Bai Yue in front of me confirmed that he would not impose additional conditions, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Because of these additional conditions, her cheating cannot be completely restricted.
Therefore, after swearing to the covenant, the other party really cannot look back.
"Ah ah ah, why did you take the oath? Don't you know how to give her a choice? If she can also tell which pill is poison, then if she chooses to take it first, even if she didn't win the first five times, then the remaining pill for the sixth time must be poison. It's your turn!!!"
The stupid king's granddaughter just screamed and yelled at the man.
