Chapter 326: The Game: The Number of Crowns
The room in which the ceremonial arena is located is a large casino.
It's not that it's a casino.
Instead, for the sake of Annan and Dmitry's plan, several casinos in the Duchy of Winter were demolished, and various conventional gambling equipment had in order to gather the Thousand Faces Tower of Fantasy.
Whether it's all kinds of cards like poker, Divisive chess like Go, board games with complex rules like Western chess, and all kinds of games related to dice......
Although the large institutions of the Tower of Fantasy with a Thousand Faces are difficult to replicate, in terms of regular channels, this has already gathered most of the gambling institutions of this era.
In effect, this is to provide insurance β to confine the type of gambling in the room so as not to add variables.
"If I am able to win, then you must give my father, Ivan III, the power of the undead, and not attack my father first before killing the other undead; And if I lose the gamble, I will voluntarily sacrifice my royal blood - I will give up my ability to reproduce as a sacrifice to you. β
Thirteen Incense, who plays Dmitry, proposes a gamble to the rotten man according to the information he saw from the imported plot before: "Just follow the rules of the Tower of Fantasy with a Thousand Faces...... Any assistant can only participate in a small game, only use what is in this room to make bets, can use any rules that both parties deem fair, and the side that does not propose the rules chooses the priority or the rest of the distribution elements. β
To put it simply, it's about taking turns to determine what to play.
The party that determines the content of the game can no longer be given priority allocation.
If it's a board game, it's a precedent move; If it's any other type of game, it's a deck of cards or something else β it's all up to the other team to choose. You don't have to be the first to get the first move...... The side that does not propose the rules is free to allocate the first hand.
This is the rule of the Tower of Fantasy with a Thousand Faces.
In general, this is quite unfair. After all, these equipment are all prepared by Annan, and although the game content is relatively fair, they have the right to play the home field - that is, they can directly ban the type of game they are not good at.
For example, Annan and the others could not have compared their wrists with rotten men, or hunting animals, peek-a-boo, and so on. Therefore, confined the site to this room is itself a restriction on the rotten man.
Plus their gamble......
No matter how you look at the thirteen incense, you feel that the rotten man is the one who suffers more.
Even a refusal wouldn't come as a surprise.
"Okay."
But unexpectedly, the rotten man easily agreed.
He just looked at "Annan" with a smile: "I guess this plan must have been conceived by His Highness Annan...... Right? β
Thirteen Xiang glanced down at the husky in his arms who gradually stopped trembling at high frequency, and ignored the words of the rotten man.
The rotten man was not embarrassed.
He didn't get a response, but just raised his eyebrows and asked leisurely, "So how many words shall we compare?" What is the format? β
"Best of three games."
This is what the husky blurted out when he gradually regained consciousness.
The rotten man just nodded, touching his smooth chin with his hand: "I see......"
He looked at the two of them.
Even though he is wearing a mask, he still feels like he has been seen through.
"This must have been determined by His Highness Dmitry. If you win three out of five games, your physical strength will not be able to bear it. And the winner is decided in one game...... Don't think it's fun enough? Or is it ...... Don't you trust His Highness Annan enough?
"If you choose to win two out of three, that means that His Highness Dmitry wants to play on his own. His Royal Highness Annan, I'm afraid I am confident that I can directly win at least one game, right? β
Skipping logical inference, the rotten man comes to a direct conclusion.
Thirteen incense can't keep up with the thinking of the rotten man.
But while Thirteen Incense frowned, quickly thinking about the rotten man's words, the husky did not hesitate.
The husky, who played the role of "Annan", followed his instincts, without any thought, and said without hesitation: "That's right - I'll play in the second game." β
β¦β¦ Hey, hey?
Is it okay for you to say it directly?
Thirteen incense hesitated for a moment.
But...... Never mind.
The rotten man is definitely a smart person, so he agreed to this gamble without hesitation. Even if the husky doesn't say it, I'm afraid the other party will guess it directly.
A trace of worry arose in Thirteen Incense's heart.
According to the original development...... Annan is in charge of the second one, so he should be able to win smoothly, right?
Can it be replaced by a husky, can it really be like in history?
"Well, as I expected," the rotten man nodded, "then, let's start now." I don't think you're ready, are you? β
"Of course it's ready."
"Annan" still did not hesitate and responded quickly.
Like a spinal cord player who immediately presses the spacebar when he sees any dialogue appears.
"Good, good~"
The rotten man chuckled, "Since you plan to play in the second game...... I'll leave the rules for the first game to me, how? I'll give you the first hand. β
Without waiting for a response, He walked around the room and looked around.
Soon, he saw the gambling equipment he wanted.
"If you want to talk about the king of gambling equipment, it's dice."
The rotten man stretched out his hand and held the wooden tube containing the various dice, and took out three six-sided dice from it.
Thirteen Xiang realized it was time to play herself.
He took a few steps forward and asked in a deep voice, "How did you come?" Guess the size? Explain in advance...... The dealer is my man, no problem, right? β
"Of course, of course."
The rotten man laughed and said, "I know the rules...... I won't touch them when I start. β
As he spoke, he put the three dice into the barrel and shook them slightly.
"His Highness Dmitry."
The rotten man suddenly spoke, "Let me ask you a question...... What do you think are the three most important elements of being a king? β
Thirteen Xiang was stunned for a moment.
β¦β¦ What's wrong with you?
Is Rather HR?
"I", as the son of the Grand Duke and the direct heir of the old grandmother, is it your turn to ask me?
But he pondered for a while, and then tentatively replied, "Authority...... Wisdom. And also...... Longevity? β
"βpower, wisdom, and life."
The rotten man leisurely continued, "You are like most kings, Your Highness. Of course, make no mistake, this is not a mockery...... I'm boasting about your kingly character. β
As he spoke, he slammed the barrel containing the dice upside down on the table. Give it to the hand of winter by your side.
"Let's get some complications, Your Highness Dmitry. Something new that no one else has ever played......"
The rotten man said leisurely, reaching out and pointing at the barrel.
It was only then that Thirteen realized that His nails were blue and purple.
It's like a corpse.
"First of all, guess a number. Compare it to the sum of the numbers of these three dice. β
The rotten man said slowly: "If it is as big or smaller than this number, then it will be counted as points." The integral number is the number that is guessed, not the number of the dice.
"But if the guessed number is greater than the sum of the numbers of the three dice, it will be a burst - the extra part will be deducted points.
"You should be ...... this year Twenty-six, right?
"Well, let's compare who accumulates 26 points first-"
The corners of the rotper's mouth were raised, revealing a nervous smile like a tense bowstring: "Quan is the power to hope that others have the same control as you think; Wisdom is the wisdom to find the most secure strategy; Life is a game theory about patience and luck. This is a game of crowns.
"So...... Answer me, Your Highnessβ
"You want the two of us, who will get the first shot?"
