Chapter 922
922 A contest
Baron Maya’s voice was abrupt and ear-piercing in the midst of the applause. As his voice rang out, the applause stopped abruptly and everyone’s eyes turned to Baron Maya.
Xia Pingan, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. His expression did not change at all. He just calmly looked at the guy whose life was counting down and waited to see what other tricks he could play.
Baron Maya, may I know the reason for your objection? ” The Butler of Fort Conrad did not get excited. Instead, he looked at Baron Maya in a gentle and polite manner. everyone has seen the results just now. Mr. Xia Pingan’s prediction is more detailed and accurate than yours. No one else’s prediction is more accurate than this. So, according to the rules of this game, the final winner is Mr. Xia Pingan!
Baron Maya glanced at Xia Pingan with a sneer. He then looked around and said loudly, ” you may not know this, but as far as I know, Mr. Xia Pingan has just graduated from andis Castle. I don’t mean to belittle the strength of andis Castle. As a diplomat, I have always respected the God’s chosen ones and the investigation Bureau of the redron Republic. It’s just that the current situation is too coincidental. A new Summoner who has just graduated from andis Castle … In a game where so many senior God’s chosen Summoners are participating, don’t you think it’s strange to win twice in a row?”
Many people in the hall didn’t know Xia Pingan’s identity, but after Baron Meyer’s bewitchment, many people began to whisper and felt a little strange.
The Butler of the castle slightly frowned. Baron Maya, you should understand that the abilities of the chosen ones are different. From the moment they awaken, different chosen ones may master different powerful spells. This has nothing to do with the qualifications of the chosen ones. The event and game just now were carried out in public under the eyes of everyone. Your doubts are unfounded!
Seeing that everyone’s emotions had been stirred by him, Baron Maya’s voice became even louder, ” yes, different God’s chosen ones may have mastered different powerful spells when they wake up. So, the situation is very obvious. I suspect that in these two games, Xia Pingan must have used some spells that we don’t know to cheat, and that’s how he won!
‘This guy didn’t get blinded by greed and accuse the Condra family of being my accomplices. Instead, he accused me of cheating with my sorcery.’ Xia Pingan secretly pouted.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xia Pingan finally opened her mouth calmly and said, ” Mr. Baron, may I ask what evidence do you have to prove that I have cheated with magic? ”
you are the only one who knows what’s in your secret mandala. It’s not me who needs to prove anything, but you who needs to prove your innocence to us! said Baron Maya in an overbearing and rude manner.
“It seems that Mr. Baron has been a diplomat for too long. You don’t even know the basic legal common sense. Whoever proposes, whoever provides evidence, this is the most basic legal common sense. Haven’t the Ceylon Empire’s diplomats been taught the basic legal common sense? now that you accuse me of cheating, you should provide evidence instead of me. If you can turn black into white and need me to prove it, I can also doubt your identity now. Because I met a beggar yesterday. He said that Mr. Baron was his illegitimate son instead of a diplomat. Now, I also want Mr. Baron to prove that you’re not that beggar’s illegitimate son. Oh, right, after saying that, the beggar left. I don’t know where he went or what’s his name. Mr. Baron, please prove it!”
Many of the guests laughed at once. Baron Maya’s face turned even darker. He looked at Xia Pingan with a dangerous gaze and said, ” young man, you just insulted a noble of the Ceylon Empire!
Xia Pingan smiled and said in an extraordinary manner, ” there is a saying in the East that a person can only be insulted by others if he insults himself first. Mr. Baron, do you think the person who insulted you first was me or you? Moreover, I think that a true noble doesn’t come from his blood, but from his noble spirit and character. In addition to wealth and status, the more important inheritance of a noble family is actually the family spirit, which is invisible and can’t be measured by money. What do you think?”
The surrounding guests also started to discuss quietly. Many of them nodded in agreement with Xia Pingan’s words, and some of the guests from the redron Republic even started to clap. The redron Republic was the National body of the Republic, and there were no nobles in it. However, many people in this country regarded themselves as invisible nobles, so Xia Pingan’s words resonated with them.
At this moment, Xia Pingan’s wisdom and bearing made him look more like a noble, while Baron Maya was obviously at a disadvantage. He looked like a Rascal, and Baron Maya was at a loss for words after hearing what Xia Pingan said.
of course, I can understand your feelings and doubts, Mr. Baron. Since you have accused me of cheating, I will give you a chance to expose me. We can summon our own fortune-tellers again and have our fortune-tellers compete with each other in public. If my fortune-teller loses, I will give you 100000 Thales and 10 realm beads, and give up all the rewards for the two games tonight. If the clairvoyant you summoned loses, then please apologize to me for your accusations, and compensate me with 100000 Thales and 10 realm beads.”
If she did not cut off a piece of leek that was delivered to her door, she would be letting herself down. Xia Pingan immediately began to provoke Baron Maya, forcing him into a corner.
Upon hearing Xia Pingan’s words, the guests in the hall instantly became interested. Although the game just now was interesting, Xia Pingan’s suggestion was even more interesting.
When Baron Maya heard Xia Pingan’s words, he was slightly hesitant.
Xia Pingan smiled and looked at Baron Meyer with a hint of disdain. if you don’t dare to take responsibility for what you said and want to give up this opportunity to expose me, or if you can’t afford so much money and realm pearls due to financial difficulties, then forget it. I’m a very generous person. I don’t care about the slander of a loser, Qianqian.
Baron Maya gritted his teeth. He really did not believe that the fortune-teller that Xia Pingan had summoned was more powerful than the fortune-teller that he had summoned. He felt that it was impossible for Xia Pingan to win twice in a row. He must have used some other means to achieve victory. So, he asked directly, ” you haven’t told me how to let the fortune-tellers that we have summoned compete with each other. I’m not sure if this is another one of your tricks to deceive people.
you can propose the method of the contest, Baron Maya. As long as it’s fair, I’ll accept any method of contest! Xia Pingan said confidently.
okay, then let’s have our clairvoyant come here for a poker duel. The way poker is played is like a chameleon, one round to decide the winner!
The chameleon was a complicated, high-level card game. There were 52 cards, and each player would start with five cards. The rest of the cards would be placed in the middle as supplementary cards and penalty cards. There were many ways to play the chameleon card. There were colors, restrictions, reversal cards, all-purpose cards, kill cards, and oracle cards. Different cards meant different responses to the changes. It was fair to use this card game to test the summoner’s divination ability.
“Sure, no problem!” Xia Pingan nodded.
Seeing that Xia Pingan had agreed so readily, Baron Meyer’s heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that Xia Pingan would play some tricks, so he immediately said, ” both of us must stay ten meters away from our respective Summoners. At the same time, when two Summoners fight, they need to do it within the spell isolation barrier to completely isolate themselves from the outside world!
“Alright!”
When the two of them decided to have a match, the guests who were watching the show became excited at once. The Butler of condera Castle didn’t waste any time and directly asked someone to move the tables and chairs for playing cards to the middle of the hall. He also brought a new deck of playing cards for Xia Pingan and Baron Maya to check at the same time.
Then, Xia Pingan and Baron Maya summoned their own Summoners.
Baron Maya’s Summoner had long been familiar with the chameleon poker, but Cui Hao still did not know how to play it. After summoning it, Xia Pingan told Cui Hao the rules of chameleon poker on the spot.
After that, the two fortune-tellers sat on both sides of the card table in the middle of the hall. A Summoner from Fort condera immediately took out a barrier spell and isolated the two fortune-tellers at the card table.
The so-called spell isolation barrier was four small crystal Towers. When they were activated by divine power, a transparent energy barrier would appear on the small towers. The energy barrier could isolate the perception of spells. If a spell passed through the barrier, the barrier would reveal something strange.
After confirming that there was no problem, the machine on the poker table automatically shuffled the cards, and the battle between Cui Hao and Baron Maya’s Summoners began.
In the first minute, the two fortune-tellers seemed to be evenly matched. However, one minute later, with the exclamations of the guests, the situation on the table was completely in Cui Hao’s favor. No matter what cards the summoner summoned by Baron Maya played, no matter what changes his cards had, he would definitely be restrained by Cui Hao’s cards as if it had long been within Cui Hao’s expectation.
In the end, the clairvoyant summoned by Baron Maya lost all the cards on the table. He did not win a single card. In the end, the clairvoyant spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face suddenly turned sallow. His originally black hair turned gray, and he seemed to have aged a few decades in an instant. After bowing to Cui Hao, he turned into a light spot and disappeared into the magic isolation barrier.
ah, why did the fortune-teller who lost disappear? ” Many guests asked in surprise.
the clairvoyant’s mental strength has been completely exhausted. It’s equivalent to a warrior running out of blood. He can only die. This means that the difference in strength between the two clairvoyants who were summoned is too great! A Summoner explained.
Everyone looked at Baron Meyer. His eyes were dull and his face was pale. He was shaking and mumbling to himself, ” impossible! Impossible!
Under everyone’s gaze, Baron Maya suddenly covered his chest with one hand. Then, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. The Ceylon Empire’s embassy staff among the guests immediately rushed towards Baron Maya and brought him out of the hall. They then left in a hurry, covered in dust.
This change was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Everyone thought that Baron Maya was so angry that he vomited blood. Only Xia Pingan knew that this guy’s Qi activity was in disorder and his mind was out of control, causing his body to be in a state of disorder. The insides of his body were like a Broken City, causing the effects of the ricin poison to erupt in advance. Once he fell, it was estimated that Baron Maya would never wake up again.
As for the wagers, Xia Pingan did not have to worry about not being able to get them back. With so many big shots and celebrities present, even if Baron Maya died, the Ceylon Empire’s Embassy would still have to hand over the wagers. Otherwise, the entire Ceylon Empire would become the laughing stock of the Brandi province. In the future, the Ceylon Empire’s diplomats would no longer have to hold their heads high.
All of this was just a small interlude at tonight’s reception.
When the banquet hall regained its liveliness, Xia Pingan suddenly felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at him. He turned his head and saw an old man in the corner of the hall staring at him. The expression on his face was unclear. He looked calm, but he also seemed very excited. That’s right, that old man seemed to be an elder of the rabery family who had come to attend the banquet.
Xia Pingan gently raised the wine glass in his hand to the old man, but the old man took a step back, lowered his head, and bowed to Xia Pingan with his hand on his chest.
‘Eh? aren’t the people from the laiberre family unruly and hard to deal with? why are they so polite? this is too Grand, and even Xia Pingan is a little overwhelmed by the favor.’
Xia ping ‘an hurriedly lowered his head and placed his hand on his chest. When Xia ping’ an raised his head, he realized that the elder of the rabery family had already disappeared.
This was the benefit of having strong fate. He did not even need to look for the realm pearls. It was those realm pearls that delivered themselves to him.
