Chapter 287: The God of Gamblers, the Saint of Gamblers, and the Monster of Gamblers

Moonlight Sealed Land.

Wayne set up a small table and said to Megan, who was hiding her face, "Hey, Black Dragon, you're free anyway, why don't you play a game of poker with us?"

Today is July 7, the third day since Wayne arrived on the frozen continent.

The icy continent of Antarctica is in the polar night season. There is no alternation of day and night, and calculating dates here has little meaning. Due to his personal obsessive-compulsive disorder, Wayne is strict with his biological clock.

Wayne and Auston arrived at the Frozen Continent on the same day. On the first day, the Dark Knight was introduced by the Natural Knight and was severely taught a lesson by the substitute teacher, the Moonlight Knight.

Wayne looked at Bai Ye Zhenyan with envy. Through obtaining information, he learned that Moonlight Knight Delain was addicted to playing cards, so he prepared a routine to cater to his taste.

To this end, he specifically found Megan and asked Austin for a treasure through her.

The next day, the Dark Knight's substitute teacher turned into the Sun Knight Leo. Wayne was worried that he would be recognized by the other party and the timing was not right, so he missed the excitement of the Sun Knight beating up the Dark Knight.

On the third day, the happy cycle came to Delain again. Wayne was not absent and moved all the prepared props to the Moonlight Sealed Land.

Tables and chairs, playing cards, chips, drinks, snacks...

It has to be said that the Dark Church’s camp had everything, especially playing cards and chips, which were readily available.

According to the elves, because of the three knights' hobby, playing cards are hard currency in the frozen land, and they can always find playing cards even if they are short of food and clothing.

Wayne suddenly realized. No wonder Mura came and left in a hurry. He only stayed in the headquarters of the Church of Nature for a while and was in a hurry to return to the Frozen Continent without even having a meal. It turned out that his card friends urged him to do so, and he himself was addicted to playing cards.

Jokes aside, the elves of the Dark Church did serve the three knights very well. They only needed to defend the sealed area, and the dark elves would take care of the rest, so they didn't need to worry about anything.

Put yourself in his shoes. Given the situation at the Church of Nature headquarters, if Wayne were Mura, he would also be willing to stay on the frozen continent.

"A 2."

"3, on top."

"No, that's not how we play it. This game is called Landlord Fighting. 2 vs 3 is bigger. I'll say it again. Landlord Fighting is two commoners versus a noble landlord..."

Because Megan had got the script in advance, she pretended to refuse again and again, but finally joined the game. This time she teamed up with Senna, and the evil landlord was Wayne.

After two rounds, Megan and Senna felt that they were not strong enough and playing Landlord was boring, so Wayne decisively changed the way of playing and switched to the more popular "Black Jack", which is the so-called thirteen cards.

The three of them were playing cards with the Moon Knight fighting the Dark Knight in the background. It was a spectacular scene.

In the field, Delain's silver armor was like the moon, and her sword shone like a thread. She wielded the thin sword lightly and powerfully. Her silver hair fluttered, and her graceful figure was like moonlight dancing in the night sky, soft yet sharp.

Austin was wearing a black armor, with himself as the center, spreading endless darkness and haziness.

The visor has red eyes and is ferocious, like a giant beast standing in the shadows, while Twilight Despair is like the embodiment of darkness, bringing with it a violent storm that swallows up everything in its path.

The two knights clashed, and the moonlight and darkness collided and intertwined.

Delain did not use the White Night's Words. Instead, he condensed a crescent moon sword with one hand. Silver trails were like the moonlight breaking at dawn, cutting the surrounding darkness into pieces.
Austin was probably affected by the domestic violence, and his offensive was extremely violent. Twilight Despair turned into black lightning, and every time he swung it, it released a terrifying and shocking dark light.

The two men's fighting styles are completely different. Delain is calm and collected, has superb swordsmanship, and is agile in close combat. Whenever he is shrouded in darkness, he can easily find a breakthrough.

The essence of life is very different. Even though Delain specializes in flexible movement, her speed, strength and even nerve reaction have formed a crushing advantage over Auston. If it was not a sparring but a fight of life and death, Auston would have been dead.

The combat experience of both sides is not at the same level, and their combat skills are even more different. Austin knows very well that he is doomed to be defeated in terms of skills. Only by relying on more powerful strength and deeper darkness can he continue to suppress Delain's offensive until the darkness completely swallows up the moonlight.

This fighting style is exactly what Aston desires. With the pressure from Delain and Leo, he constantly oppresses himself, endures and understands more pain, and becomes a qualified Dark Knight.

For the sake of his wife and children, Auston didn't care whether his body could bear it or not and was willing to risk everything.

boom!
The light of darkness transformed into a giant hand that covered the sky, and it engulfed Delain's fragile figure with a rumbling sound. The next second, silver lines appeared, and the dark hand split into two.

Delain walked out slowly, pointing his rapier at the ground, and sneered, "I thought you would have improved a little after a day, but you are still so crude and can only attack with brute force. You don't understand darkness deeply enough."

"I won, hand over the chips!"

"..."

The corner of Delain's eye twitched slightly. The noise from the sidelines made her feel uncomfortable. She wanted to say it just now, moonlight versus darkness, it's such a serious occasion, can't you please respect the atmosphere.

She took a deep breath and said, "Dark Knight, what did Leo teach you? He wouldn't have been..."

"Amazing! As expected of me! I have the best luck! This card is really good!"

"Always, always..."

Always playing cards.

Delane was furious. He looked towards the sidelines and roared, "You three, be quiet. This is a sealed place. Either go play cards somewhere else or shut up!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Auston, and poured out his anger on the Dark Knight.

Crackling!

There was a roar!
Today's sparring ended half an hour earlier than the first day. Austin lay on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for a long time before he got used to the pain in his body.

He slowly stood up with the help of Twilight Despair, thanked politely, and left silently.

Megan's mind was not on the card table. When she saw that today's practice was over, she decisively threw away the cards and stepped forward to support Auston.

The two of them walked forward snuggling together, and this scene was enough to give Xifei a headache.

Wayne didn't know how to do that. He put down his cards with regret and said to Senna, "What a pity! It's a rare day when I had such good luck, but it ended before I could even enjoy it. I'm not bragging, but with my luck today, even if the God of Gamblers came, I would lose everything."

"Boy, you are so arrogant!"

Delain walked towards the card table angrily, and when he saw a thick pile of chips in front of Wayne, his eyebrows immediately raised.

Looks very impressive!
But the opponent is too weak, there is nothing to be proud of in a weak game, it’s okay for her to play.

"Lord Delain, I'm very sorry to have disturbed you just now. We will leave now." Wayne packed up his chips and looked like he was in a hurry to leave.

Delain opened her mouth, her urge to play cards came up, and she wanted Wayne to play a few rounds with her.

But the knight's pride made her unable to open her mouth. She could only stare to show her dissatisfaction and act as if she wanted to get out of here quickly.

At this time, the emotionally intelligent Senna tugged at Wayne's sleeve and said, "You said you were lucky today. Even the God of Gamblers can't beat you. Why don't you invite Lord Delain to play a couple of games? I heard from the elves in the camp that Lord Delain's card skills are very good."

Not bad, you have quite a good eye, no wonder you can become the high priest of oracle!
Delain snorted coldly and did not express her opinion, waiting for Wayne to invite her.

"That's not good. We have disturbed the Knight for a long time. Besides, she has to guard the seal. The task is very difficult. How can she have time to play cards with us?"

Wayne whispered to Senna, then smiled and scratched his head: "Lord Delain, I'm very sorry, she didn't mean to offend, you know, Dragon Blood always speaks out whatever he thinks."

"Idiot, Lady Delain is an excellent card player. This is a rare opportunity. You should let her teach you a few tricks." Senna winked at Wayne desperately.

After several eye contact, Wayne went from being confused to suddenly realizing, and he asked doubtfully: "Lord Delain, how about you sit down and play a few rounds?"

"Haha, you are quite courageous young man. Since you sincerely invite me, I will reluctantly give you some pointers."

At Wayne's invitation, Delain slowly took a seat and said, "You are Mura's successor and the future Knight of Nature. For Mura's sake, I will not pursue your fault of interrupting the training today. Remember, this will not happen again."

"You are very kind."

Wayne nodded repeatedly, took his seat and distributed the chips. While shuffling the cards, he asked curiously, "The seal needs you to guard it yourself. Is it really okay for you to play around with me?"

"No problem, as long as I'm still sitting here."

Delain waved her hand and asked Wayne to hurry up. She was almost dying of cravings after not playing cards for a long time.

I wish I could swallow the chips on the spot!

After confirming that there was no problem, Wayne started the game. Delain was so happy that he lost five games in a row.

He lost so much that his face turned blue.

"It's impossible. It shouldn't be like this..."

Delain muttered to himself and asked to shuffle the cards himself, but the result was the same. Without her cheating, Wayne got whatever cards he wanted. His luck was so good that he had no friends.

It's more than just having no friends. With this kind of luck, people will call you an orphan wherever you go!

"Damn it, there's no reason to lose every time, did you cheat?"

Delain was defeated over and over again, and she became angrier and angrier. If she didn't cheat, then Wayne must have cheated.

As a Moonlight Knight, Delain still has some moral integrity. When facing a younger knight like Wayne, he is obviously eager to turn the tables and win big, but he never chooses to cheat.

If it were Mura or Leo who were at the same level, she would just sneer and let everyone do what they wanted.

"Lord Delain, I am indeed lucky today. There is nothing I can do about it..."

A moment later, Wayne had a full stack of chips in front of him. Facing Delain's wide eyes, he hurriedly pressed the table.

"Why are you pressing the table? Can't I afford to lose?"

Delane was so angry that he overturned the table on the spot.

Amid the flying chips, she saw Wayne and Senna looking confused, secretly annoyed at her impulsiveness, and fiercely said, "I flipped the table because you two questioned my poker character, not because I couldn't afford to lose."

Okay, it’s your territory and you have the final say.

Wayne nodded repeatedly, cleaned up the table and was about to leave: "Lord Delain, it's getting late. We have no bargaining chips left. Today is a tie. We must decide the winner another day."

"Just today!"

Delain slammed his hand on the table, like a gambler with red eyes: "It wasn't a tie just now. You were winning all the time. Yes is yes, no is no. Don't worry about my face. I will win it back myself."

"Uh, go on?" Wayne blinked.

"Go ahead, that's what you said. I didn't force you."

Delain held down the table tightly, and then said, "The last few hands don't count. There were too few people, so the good cards have always been in your hand."

"I understand. I'll call two girls over right now and make sure you enjoy yourself."

The camera turned and Veronica and Sphy appeared at the card table.

The arrival of the two did not save Delain's bad luck, but made her lose even more completely.

The Landau family has always had good luck. You can tell from the way they choose people that Veronica and Sphy both use royal flushes when they play, and they can't get any small cards at all.

"How could this happen? This shouldn't happen..."

Delain looked at her hands tremblingly. After two games, she didn't win a single hand. She lost to Wayne even though Healy and Veronica had deliberately let her win several times. "Boy, you must have cheated!" Delain gritted her teeth and vowed to prove her card skills.

This time she didn't overturn the table, but found new reasons, still two.

First, there was something wrong with the dealer. Senna was Wayne's mount and she secretly gave the good cards to Wayne.

Second, Sifty is Wayne's teacher, and Veronica is Wayne's fiancée. If the four of them join forces, she can't win even if the God of Gamblers is alive.

"so what?"

Wayne's voice came from behind the chips.

This is outrageous, boy, I have tolerated you for a long time!

Delain flipped the table in anger and raised his long legs to step on the chair: "I want to change people. I have the final say on who the dealer is."

The camera turns again, and the sexy dealer Anastasia is called over, and starts dealing cards at Delain's urging.

Confused.

Who am I, where am I, and how did you get together to form this table?

Anastasia was full of doubts. The Saint of the Dark Church was not a brainless idiot with big breasts. Thinking of Senna's previous inquiries, she suspected that this card game was deliberately aimed at Delain.

The question is, what does Senna want?
Anastasia suppressed her doubts and secretly gave Delain a look. With her personally dealing the cards, Delain would definitely win.

"Why are you looking at me? I asked you to come here to be fair. I'm not planning on cheating!"

Delain was furious, mistakenly thinking that Anastasia thought she couldn't afford to lose, so she called an acquaintance to deal the cards.

This is ridiculous! How could she not afford to lose?
Delain glared at Anastasia, reiterated the principle of fairness, and then pointed at his eyes viciously: "Wayne, right? I'm watching you, be careful, and don't let me catch you cheating!"

Having said that, he waved his hand and asked Anastasia to deal the cards. She wanted to prove her card skills in an upright manner.

The camera turns again.

Delain: ()
The heroic, cold and noble Moonlight Knight lost the game. She had never won since she sat down, and she had almost found all the reasons.

What position is not good, the cards are problematic, the chips are new, the armor is annoying, the magnetic field is too strong...

She repeated everything she could think of.

She even changed the way of playing poker, from thirteen cards to blackjack, sheep's head game, catch pairs, etc. Even when she changed to the simplest card drawing and comparing sizes, she didn't win a single game.

"You cheated!"

Delain overturned the table in anger, pointed at Wayne and was about to scold him, but in the end he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his juniors, so he swallowed the dirty words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Seeing Delaine's chest heaving and breathing heavily, and his eyes red with anger due to losing all his money, Wayne sighed and said, "Delaine, you hired the dealer. I didn't even touch my hand when the cards were shuffled, so how could I cheat?"

"Besides, with your strong strength, I can't hide it from your eyes even if I cheat."

"..."

Good boy, you were calling me "adult" just now, but now you are calling me by my name directly. You are too realistic!
In sports competitions, being bad is the original sin, there’s nothing much to say about it.

Delain still refused to accept it, so he asked Anastasia to set up the card table, took a deep breath and said, "All of you get out of the way, I want to duel with this kid!"

"Delaine, let's forget it. Your luck with cards is too bad today. Let's do it another day..."

"Today, if you dare to leave, I will beat you to death!"

"..."

Veronica poked her head in. This was usually what she said.

War is cruel. Veteran Veronica suffers from PTSD caused by beauty. Whenever she sees a beautiful woman next to her fiancé, she feels panic that the little bitch is up to no good.

Today too, as I watched Delain, who was determined to win at the poker table, I couldn't help but let my imagination run wild.

First love is the time when imagination is most abundant. Her thoughts slipped and she imagined Wayne being abducted into the bedroom by Delain, with the door sealed by the moonlight barrier. She listened to the screams and lewd laughter in the house and could only cry with Chris and Willy.

No, absolutely not!
Veronica gritted her teeth secretly. Her fiancé was too popular and attracted the attention of beautiful women wherever he went. She was also wrong in this regard.

It's her fault. She can't let go and always wants to just do it for a bit.

I won’t do that again in the future. From today on, I will increase Wayne’s strength so that even if he attracts beautiful women, he can only stare blankly.

"Delaine, it's getting late and I need to go back to rest. I'll consider you the winner today, okay?" Wayne advised earnestly.

"The weather in the Frozen Continent changes only once every six months. How can it be late? Sit down obediently." Delain insisted on continuing.

Under Anastasia's persuasion, both sides took a step back, each with three chips, and drew cards to determine the final winner.

"The previous ones don't count, I will definitely win these three!"

Delain stared at Wayne closely. "Roll up your sleeves... Oh, they're already rolled up. Then don't touch the cards, Anastasia. Show your cards directly. Don't give him a chance to touch the cards."

Delain strongly suspected that Wayne cheated, otherwise his luck wouldn't be so incredible.

She just couldn't believe it. After eliminating all possibilities of cheating, she couldn't win in the last three games.

"Delaine, let me make this clear. I will agree to all your requests, but you must keep your promise. These are the last three."

"I would go back on my word?!" Baimao was furious.

"..." x5
The effect was average, and everyone, including Anastasia, repeatedly admired her for not keeping her word.

The camera turns again.

Anastasia dealt the cards and was trustworthy as an undercover agent. Wayne always had 10, and he crushed the opponent with a score of - in every game, leaving no suspense at all.

"Alas, we won again. It's hard to lose. This is really wrong."

Wayne sighed and shook his head. Delain was right, he did cheat. Nine out of ten gambling cases involve fraud. How could he not cheat if he won every time?

He just didn't tamper with the card table, so DeLaine couldn't get any evidence.

At this time, Wayne had an ancient silver coin on his chest.

This lucky ancient silver coin comes from Austin, sponsored by the 'Observer' Doom Spider Griu, one of the agents of the Goddess of Death.

At first, Auston was reluctant because this ancient silver coin could suppress the power of the Dark Knight and conceal his identity from outsiders, so he was unwilling to give it to Wayne.

God knows what will happen when the Death Knight touches the silver coin of death.

It was not until recently that Auston began to accept the identity of the Dark Knight that he gradually let go of his obsession with the ancient silver coins. In addition, he also discovered that without the ancient silver coins, his strength would grow faster and faster.

Apparently, the God of Death had no good intentions in giving the Dark Knight the ancient silver coin.

Wayne got the ancient silver coin, and the Book of Greed opened its mouth wide and ate two strange things.

One is the power of death that suppresses darkness, and the other is something that is hard to explain. If I have to say it, it should be luck.

Luck is illusory and indescribable, but it is embodied in ancient silver coins.

This luck was plundered by the Book of Greed and hidden in the cover of the book, which is Wayne's skin.

This was the third time that Wayne sensed a new power that was different from the knowledge of elements, nature, death, heaven, etc. He believed that these were all information laws, which were essentially a concept. The classification in the Book of Greed must have a profound meaning.

This ancient silver coin is also quite extraordinary. The raw materials come from Windsor. Every senior official in the Ministry of Magic has one. After being blessed by Griev, it has become a complete artifact.

Just like the artifacts that come with knights like Shadow Nightmare, the information inside the ancient silver coin still exists after the Book of Greed is plundered.

It's very confusing.

Back to the topic, after the last three games, Wayne began to clean up the table, muttering that it was hard to lose. Even if the God of Gamblers and the Saint of Gamblers came, they would lose everything and sell their pants. He would rather call himself a gambling monster!
"Wait a minute, who allowed you to go, sit down and continue."

"No, are you still coming?"

Wayne laughed secretly in his heart, with a helpless look on his face: "Delain, keep your word, you no longer have any bargaining chips."

"I swear, this is the last time!"

Delain didn't blush or get angry. He had already broken his promise, so what if he broke it again? Would Wayne and the others dare to tell anyone?
It’s better to say that if you offend the God-chosen Knight, I will catch you and play cards with you every day.

"Who did you swear to, the Moonlight Goddess?"

"Dark Goddess!"

"..." x5
Delain's shamelessness made everyone present ashamed. He was lucky that there were no believers of the Moonlight Goddess present, otherwise, after witnessing the actions of the Moonlight Knight, he would most likely have banged his head on the gambling table and tried to persuade her to death.

Wayne shrugged and sat down helplessly: "I can see that you have to win. You don't mind losing the chips."

"What, you're not convinced?"

"How can I accept this? I'm so anxious to go back to sleep!"

Wayne grumbled, then looked at Delain and said, "How about this, raise the stakes. Only if I bleed and you feel bad will I let you go."

"Oh, what do you want?" Delain asked with interest.

Could it be that the young man is coveting her beauty?

Quite interesting, quite courageous!

"let me see……"

Wayne frowned and thought for a moment, then said expectantly, "How about this, Mr. Mura is very busy and cannot teach me swordsmanship. You have free time every other day. I will play cards with you in the morning, and you can teach me swordsmanship in the afternoon."

"no problem!"

"So refreshing?"

Wayne looked skeptical and added, "One more thing, I want to learn archery, is that okay?"

When the map reaches the end, the dagger is finally revealed!
"No problem, I can teach you everything, but I have one request..."

Delain raised his eyebrows. Her map was also very long. "How did you achieve such good luck with cards? Can you teach me a few tricks so that we can improve together?"

Wayne: (_)
It turns out this is Moonlight Knight, who feels no different from Chris and Philomena. His main feature is to give away cards for free. If he uses his full strength, he can use one card to get nine times from the opponent.
