Chapter 1224

"As long as you can win four of the seven battles against me, I will give the winner five gold coins again. However, if you lose completely to me, then the three gold coins you get will be returned to me as compensation ~ ~ ~! Of course, the winner can also choose to give up and retreat happily with these three gold coins. After that, I will hold a second game, but the winner won't be able to participate in the next game. "

These prisoners can hardly believe their ears!

Maybe they can play cards when they are in prison for the first time since they were born? And still be able to compete? Win the game and a bonus? Finally, you can even win the bonus in the hands of the warden?

This was impossible before! Who could have thought that these rich people would really care about what they are really thinking in the hearts of the poor at the bottom? Are you really willing to spend money just to get rid of their depressed and decadent mood?

Judas was clearly the most vigilant of all. He bit his teeth and said, "you really... Really, really... If you win, will you really give us money? You must think of any way to get it back later? "

The corner of cream's mouth hung a bright smile and said, "you can not believe it, then you can not participate. Of course, I will keep my promise. As long as you can win me, the king of the officially certified national war card, I will certainly pay. "

Judas snorted, shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "what if you win money? We are locked here, holding gold coins in our hands is like holding a handful of soil. Can you let us go? "

Cream raised a finger, shook it and said with a smile, "of course I can't let you go, but I also thought of some places where you can spend money. As long as you can win the money, it will be yours. Then you can use the money to buy some things in Pelican city. Although I can't set you free, I can sell you some of our specialties. "

"For example... You can buy a bed and lie down to sleep, or you don't want to eat bread all day. If you want something else, I can buy it for you. As long as you don't leave here or want to buy some dangerous things to escape, we can meet your normal requirements. In that case, your money will be useful? "

Judas's mouth twitched and suddenly shouted, "so you still want to take the money back?! Shopping from Pelican city? You're kidding! A bottle of water and a silver coin? Or does a dress cost three gold coins? "

Touch -!

When Judas roared, dak suddenly raised his fist and hit the ground. The noise suddenly deterred the robber magician and made him stare at this side.

"You mean, I'm going to cheat you that things outside are very expensive, and then use my money to buy those expensive things I said, and then give them to you for free? Do you think this logic is correct? "

For a moment, Judas was dumb.

Brad on the other side patted his hand and said, "we don't have so many bad hearts. You can buy it when you have money, and we can run errands for you. I wanted to say whether I should charge you some running expenses, but cream said that the money was ours. It's superfluous to ask you to charge running expenses, so I don't charge you running expenses at all. Really, we'll sell you at whatever price in the city. "

Seeing that the prisoners were still a little worried, cream shook his head and said, "well, well, since you think you will be cheated, why don't you wait until you win me? Hehe, you, Judas, right? You jump so fiercely, but in fact, you can't "national war card" at all, can you? I think you're embarrassed by this game now, right? Ha ha ha! No problem! I can patiently teach 'beginners' ~ ~! "

So excited by the cream, Judas's mouth immediately seemed to twitch. He snorted, immediately reached out and grabbed a card on the ground and said, "who says I'm a beginner? I am... Huh? "

Suddenly Judas stopped growling.

His eyes turned to the cards in his hand and felt the shiny color on the cards.

This is not a new card.

To put it more accurately, this is a card that has been used many times, but has been well collected and maintained.

The four corners of the card surface are slightly curled. You can touch it from the smoothness of the card surface. This pair of cards has been used by the owner many times, many times

When Judas kneaded the cards with his own hands, he immediately understood.

Understand the assassin warden in front of him. Even if he really wants to lie and cheat everyone here, he is definitely not cheating!

That is... He is really an excellent player of national war card.

This can be deeply felt just by the touch of these cards.

So... Does the robber warden really want everyone here... To play cards?

Thinking of this, Judas finally swallowed the curse in his mouth.

He put these cards on the ground again and said slowly, "the game is the game. If you really want to go back, let everyone here see your hypocritical face."

At this moment, cream finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed thoroughly.

He slowly spread out his hands and welcomed these people to join the world of national war cards. It was also in such an environmental atmosphere recognized by all that the national war card competition among prisoners finally began.

All morning, cream led Brad and dak to group, plan and draw lots with the prisoners to determine the opponents of the game.

With such a relaxed start, these prisoners were no longer as nervous as before, and began to sign up one by one with a relaxed face.

Some people who can't play cards are nearby. People who know cards begin to teach some basic rules and classic tactics so that they can get used to each other.

Of course, some people still think they can't learn anyway, so they don't sign up for the competition at all. On the contrary, some of these people were interested in organizing everyone to compete together, and began to help the members of mermaid song start planning groups, arranging lottery, and then registering everyone's name.

On this first day, in order to enable those beginners to learn the rules of the game as soon as possible, cream did not start a formal duel. After having lunch with these prisoners, he took out more than 20 pairs of cards and began to let the people begin to practice.

"I will! I want to sign up! "

After playing all afternoon, a prisoner with an excited face thought he knew everything. He immediately ran to the registration office and asked to participate in the competition.

Responsible for the record is a 15-year-old boy. His head is almost shaved and his clothes look ragged. Now, he was holding a charcoal in his hand. When he saw someone running to ask for registration, he immediately turned around, stood in front of the warehouse wall behind him, raised the charcoal in his hand and said, "OK, you sign up for the competition. Draw lots first and tell me your number after drawing lots? "

The prisoner saw the lottery box next to him, then reached in and touched it, took out a piece of paper and said, "it says 8-42!"

The little boy nodded, looked at the huge partition table painted on the wall, exhaled, came to the eighth District, and stood in front of position 42: "what's your name?"

Prisoner: "waldhouse! Waldhouse Middleton. "

At the moment of hearing the name, the little boy's hand holding the charcoal suddenly got stuck.

He moved his finger to the position where he should fill in the name, but after a long time, he couldn't write.

The prisoner in the back looked strange and asked, "what's the matter?"

"Ah! it 's nothing! I can't write this charcoal. I'll change it. "

The little boy quickly threw away the charcoal pen in his hand, clapped his hand, turned his head and said——

"I know your name. I'll write it right away. Go back first."

The prisoner nodded, ran back to the place where he had just sat and continued to play cards.

Seeing the applicant leave, the little boy was relieved, picked up the charcoal from the ground, continued to look at the name area under No. 42 and frowned.

"What's the matter?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came next to the little boy.

He was slightly surprised and quickly turned his head. Dak didn't know when he was standing beside him.

"Ah... Dian... Mr. warden... I... I just..."

The little boy looked a little nervous, and his face was red and at a loss.

Dak looked at the empty name area next to him, and then looked at the nervousness on the little boy's face. After thinking about it, he said, "can't you write the name?"

For a moment, the boy's face looked even more embarrassed.

He lowered his head and held the charcoal pen tightly in his hand. Perhaps because his mood seemed a little excited, the tip of his finger holding the charcoal pen began to flow out some flashing sparks again.

Dak saw the light on the tip of his finger. After thinking about it, he said, "it's all right. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me and I can tell you. You don't have to be nervous. Even if you can't write your name, I won't blame you or anything. On the contrary, you are willing to take the initiative to help our mermaid song do such trivial things. I still need to thank you. "

Under dak's gentle words, the little boy held the charcoal pen tightly and finally relaxed gradually. Those electric sparks also disappeared. Instead, the boy's shoulders drooped heavily, and a depression was highlighted on his face.

"Yes... I'm sorry... Thanks to me... What else do you want to do..."

After the spark completely disappeared, dak held out his hand, held his hand holding the charcoal pen, and gently took the charcoal pen down. Then he went to the wall and said, "what's the other party's name?"

The little boy bowed his head and said after a moment of silence, "waldhouse Middleton."

Dak raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "it's really a very complex name. Both his surname and first name are disyllabic. This man's ancestors were educated people. From the same village as you? "

After hearing the word "educated", the little boy's eyes drifted out again, as if he had touched some pain in his heart, hesitated and said, "no... I didn't know him before, maybe from other villages..."

After writing his name, dak turned around again, squatted in front of the boy, took his hand, put the charcoal back in his hand and said, "you did a good job, gel. The man just now was just an accident. You see, you made all the names and team tables of more than 300 people on this large wall. It's just a small accident. You don't have to take it to heart. "

Feeling the touch temperature between his fingers, the boy named gel raised his head and looked at the handsome brother in front of him, just like a gentle big sister. For a moment, he showed a little ashamed expression. He flustered out his hand, then raised his hand and tried to wipe his face, as if he wanted to make his face cleaner. But his hands were full of charcoal. With such a wipe on his face, the whole face looked more dirty.

"Well, well, you don't have to. I don't have much time now, but I'll get you more water tomorrow morning. You can wipe it. "

Dakara stopped the little boy and told him not to move.

Looking at the frightened face of gel, dak thought for a moment, took out a bracelet from his arms and said, "you see, this is the forbidden Bracelet I was going to wear for you."

Seeing the bracelet, the gel was slightly stunned, then showed a clear expression and stretched out his hand.

"But I don't think you need it."

But to the little boy's surprise, dak put the bracelet back into his arms and said with a smile——

"So, you have to promise me that you must try to control yourself, can you?"

The gel was stunned, but then it seemed a little nervous. He looked at the position of the bracelet on dak's chest and said, "warden... Sir, why don't you... Put the bracelet on me? You know... I... Have... Element affinity... "

Dak thought a little, exhaled and said, "in fact, in the battle two days ago, I paid attention to you from the beginning."

Gel was stunned again, obviously surprised.

Dak pointed to himself and said, "don't look at me like this. In terms of combat experience, if I'm not the first in our guild, I'm definitely the second. People with element affinity and people without element affinity will have great differences in behavior in peacetime. Even if they are careful to hide, some small actions will show their feet. "

Dak stretched out his hand, pointed to gel's right hand and said, "that day at the gate of the city, you belonged to the last group. You should be one of the robbers who rushed in with the crowd. I've always been nervous about whether there are any powerful magicians among you, so I didn't carry any weapons at that time. I grabbed my right hand. After the crowd rushed in, I've been nervous to look around. You naturally became my goal. "

"At that time, our president had issued a killing order, so I made a judgment at that time. Even if you don't have element affinity, you might as well take care of the worst ones first. But once you show that you have any element affinity, I will immediately give up other robbers and deal with you first. "

"You should be glad that you have always maintained a kind of restraint in that state. You look scared, but you always hold your hand tightly, don't dare to move around, and don't hurt anyone. Then you raise your hand and surrender until we catch you. "

"That's good. Your patience saved your life. Similarly, your patience makes me feel that you can control your strength, and maybe you don't have to wear this thing. "

The voice fell, and the expression on gel's face seemed a little uncertain.

It seems to be a little happy, but there is a little fear mixed in it.

Dak didn't say much, but turned to leave.

But as he stepped forward, his sleeve was caught by the child behind him.

"Please... Lock me up..."

Dak looked back at the little boy.

The boy raised his head. His eyes were already full of tears.

"Please lock me up... Otherwise... I'm really afraid... Who will I hurt... I'm really... Really... Very afraid..."

Seeing what he looked like now, dak was a little difficult to leave.

He looked at the crowd playing card games over there, then lowered his head again and said, "gel, you are a man. You are not much shorter than me now. In my hometown, you should already be able to help your parents. "

Speaking of his family, the little boy twitched, rubbed the corners of his eyes again and said, "I... my father... Mother... They... They..."

Because the boy had his head down, dak could not see his expression for a moment and said, "they? What's the matter? "

Gel gently bit his teeth, but after a long time of patience, his tense mood gradually dispersed, raised his head and said, "my father... Taught me some reading and writing... But now it seems... I don't learn much... Sorry... Trouble you... Mr. warden..."
