Chapter 96: Count Falgira(1/2)
Chapter 96 Earl Falgira
"A very long story..."
For some reason, Feng Kan remembered the stories his mother told when she was a child when she was coaxing herself to sleep. The beginning of those stories was "long a long time ago..."
"Pipi!" Pipi's scream.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the copycat version of Pikachu's round little face.
"Well... it seems dawn..." Feng Kan smacked his lips and stretched his waist, as if he had just slept like usual.
"You're really awake?!" Merrijelin sighed in surprise from the side.
"Ah? I've died again," Feng Kan sat up with Pipi in his arms, "I think I'll get used to this kind of life that I'll be able to hang out on time in the future."
"It seems that the handsome silver-haired guy guessed right, it was really effective!" The waiter girl sighed ignoring his nonsense.
"What's right?" Feng Kan grabbed his head and walked to the table to look for it. He always felt dry mouth just now.
Merrijelin didn't say anything, but just said noon to show him to look at his right hand.
An inconspicuous little iron ring was placed on his right middle finger at some point.
"What is this? Is the ring?" It means wearing a ring on the little finger of the left hand means engagement, and wearing a ring on the ring finger of the left hand means marriage, but what does wearing a ring on the middle finger of the right hand mean? Feng Kan couldn't figure it out, and was too lazy to figure it out.
"This is something that almost killed you." Merrijelin stood up.
"Ha? That's all?"
"It's this thing! Although I don't know what it is, I heard that as long as I use it to pass through the other person with malicious intention, a person's soul can be directly peeled off from his body!"
Feng Kan suddenly realized that he finally knew what had happened to him. He relied on his strong body and unimaginable recovery ability to be afraid of heaven and earth, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing! As a result...
Tofu is used to remove the brine. It seems that nothing in the world is absolutely true!
"The handsome silver-haired man said that since he can peel off his soul when he is hostile to use it, then on the other hand, what if he uses it with a longing mood? Will he summon the departed soul back? But it seems that he guessed it right!"
"Oh... miss me? Who misses me? Are you?"
Merrijelin gave him a blank look, "Do you, a lunatic, miss you? I just see if you die or not. What really misses you is that little thing!" As he said, the waiter girl pointed to Pipi in his arms.
The little thing Pipi had already climbed onto his shoulders, rubbing his red cheeks hard on his face.
It was just after noon, and there were no guests in the tavern at this time. When Feng Kan walked into the hall in front of the tavern, he only saw Dante playing cards with an old man. I don’t know where he got this thing. Maybe this guy was carrying a few decks of poker with him.
Vincent sat silently in the corner against the wall, wiping the "Hellhound" without saying a word. The smooth metal parts emitted a cold light, making him look even more inaccessible. Those who don't know him will definitely automatically retreat when they see him like this.
Sephiros sat far away from him under the window, and read a book in his hand gracefully with one hand, and the afternoon sun shone on his body, forming a hazy fog around him, with a solemn divine brilliance in the softness.
I have to say that the aura of this guy Saphiros is really too powerful. His casual movements naturally have a high-ranking temperament. I believe that except Feng Kan, no sculptor in Trantak can perfectly reproduce his temperament.
Feng Kan just glanced at it, then walked to the table where Dante played cards, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Shuha?" Looking at the scattered coins on the table, Feng Kan raised his head funny. Dante sat on his left, opposite him was a black bearded face that had not seen for a long time, an ordinary and thin figure, and a big headscarf wrapped around his head. He looked like a vendor on the streets of the Arab world city - the Blackbeard, or the Mercenary King Shermanto.
Feng Kan turned his head again. On his right hand was an old man I had never seen before. He had a thin and neat face, gray hair, and a small one-sided glasses hanging in front of his left eye. He looked like a scholar from a Western country in the 18th century.
"Is it time for me to speak?" Dante raised his eyes and looked at the two old men opposite him, bent his fingers and gently tapped the tabletop.
The two old men looked at each other, and the black beard shrugged, while the old man who had never seen before reached out and made a polite "please" gesture.
Dante grabbed a pile of coins in front of him and threw them into the middle of the table, "I'll raise!"
Feng Kan looked at the three cards that had been opened on the table. Dante had two old ks and two qs. Even if the trump card that had not been opened, it was also a deck of "two pairs" (two pairs); and in front of Blackbeard was a 3 spades, a 4 spade, a 6 spade, and a 7 spade. Unless his trump card was a 5 of any suit, it was just a deck of loose cards without a card. Of course, if it was a 5 spade, it would be the best, it was the largest deck of "with the flower" (Flush).
If it is not a bigger flush, then he will definitely win; in front of the old man who has never met there are three 8s and one q. This card type is very subtle. If his trump card is a q, then it is a "full house" (full house), if it is an 8, it is a "bomb" (bomb), if it is another card, it is a simple three. The card types of these three people seem to have a great chance of winning, but they are also very dangerous. Dante raised again, and seemed so confident that it really makes people unable to understand what his trump card is.
"I'll follow up!" The one who spoke first was Blackbeard. He grabbed a handful of coins and threw them into the pile of coins in the middle of the table. Then he turned around and looked at the old man he had never met before.
The old man pointed his finger at the tip of his nose and smiled calmly, and his other finger gently tapped on the last trump card, "I will follow up, and raise, and bet all the remaining money!"
As he said that, he pushed all the coins in front of him into the pile of coins.
Dante and Blackbeard looked at each other, and the old man's performance was really hard to be sure whether he was confident or bluffed.
"Follow up? Or give up?" asked the old man who had never met before.
Blackbeard stroked his beard, flipped the last card and threw it onto the table, "I'll give up!"
It was a red 5, and the card type should be a "straight" (straight), and in "Shuha", it is also a big card type. If Dante and the old man who had never met before were "twww.piaotian.comd" (three items), then he could win but automatically gave up.
The old man who had never met before still looked at the black beard with a smile, and then said to Dante, "Young man, where are you?"
Dante raised his eyebrows and pushed all the money in front of him into the middle of the table without saying a word.
"Open the card!"
Then, Dante flipped the last trump card on the table, which was a square piece! His card type was a big "full house"! "It seems that the goddess of luck is finally no longer stingy with her smile at me."
"'full house'?" The old man who had never met before looked at his card shape and shook his head, "Sorry, it seems that the goddess of luck is more inclined to take care of the elderly..." As he said that, the old man gently opened the trump card. It was a red 8, the last 8 in a deck of cards! - "bomb"! It just exceeded Dante's "full house"...
"Ah..." Dante threw the cards in his hand into the sky in annoyance, "Is today my bad luck?"
"Don't be upset, my young man." The old man smiled and comforted him, "Although I don't know if today is your bad luck day, it seems to be my lucky day."
"It shouldn't be just a matter of luck, right?" Feng Kan, who had been watching, was happy and bent down to pick up an old k that Dante had thrown on the ground. "The first time I saw you cheating, I never beat others!" As he said that, he jumped gently with his nails, and the old k turned into two cards. There was a red peach 8 on the back of the old k! "By the way, how could there be five 8 in a deck of cards?"
Dante, the Blackbeard and the old man looked at each other at the same time, and then laughed together. None of these three guys—none of them was honest!
There were two spare poker cards next to the table. The old man who had never met before took out a red peach 8 in there. Judging from his performance, he didn't look like a novice at all, but like an old gambling stick who often cheated.
"Playing cards is like fighting. No matter what method is used, as long as you are not seen through, you can win!" The old man who had never met before smiled and nodded to Feng Kan.
"Well..." Feng Kan rubbed his forehead helplessly. He knew that "the soldiers never get tired of cheating" and that he also knew that "nine out of ten bets" were cheating, but he would not be fine to find this excitement.
"Is it you who are looking for me?" the old man turned around and said to Feng Kan with a smile.
"That's right! It's me!" Feng Kan nodded. When he met, he had already guessed the identity of the old man, but it seemed that he had guessed it right. This general who looked more like a knowledgeable old man than the general who commanded the army to sweep the battlefield was his first target for infiltrating into Walken this time - Jamins's genius, Earl of Falgira!
"Are you from St. Ostan?" Earl Fargira stared at Feng Kan for a long time, then said with a smile.
The deep eyes full of wisdom seemed to be able to pierce all lies. When stared at by such eyes, Feng Kan felt that any excuses were meaningless.
Sighing, Feng Kan wiped his hands on his face a few times to reveal his true face, "You guessed that I did come from St. Ostan." As he said that, he looked apologetically at the Blackbeard sitting opposite him.
"Don't look at me! Although I knew it a long time ago, I didn't say anything!" Blackbeard smiled happily.
"Well... I knew you knew the day Pipi was drunk!" Feng Kan smiled relievedly. He just felt that he was a little uneasy because of his help. Earl Fargira's appearance here must have a lot to do with Blackbeard. "And I don't think you would tell me this kind of thing casually."
"But I don't know that you are so... well... weird!" The Truntark continent does not have an eastern cave like Feng Kan. Of course, except for the saint of Aussettine God Cult "Yulia"!
"Can't you say we look more distinctive?" This old guy's words are really sad.
"So what is the purpose of the guests from St. Ostan looking for me?"
"In fact, we hope that Lord Earl can help us stop this war without any practical significance!" Feng Kan said his purpose straight to the point, and he felt that there was no need to beat around the bush.
Earl Fargira sighed helplessly, "Stop this meaningless war? To be honest, I also oppose the 'Seventh Heresy War' initiated by the church!"
Then he raised his head, "But please don't get me wrong. The reason I objected is because now is not the best time. If there is a little more flaw in the St. Ostan and Santa League, I will definitely launch an attack without hesitation!"
"Ha..." Feng Kan sighed weakly. The meaning of Earl Fargira to express was obvious. It was just that the time was not right. As long as there was an appropriate time, the old Earl firmly aimed the weapon in his hand at his own. From this point of view, Earl Fargira's defection was indeed another secret, and this matter was really troublesome.
"Sir Earl, I wonder why you hate St. Ostan and Santa League so much?"
"Hate? No, I have no personal reasons to hate St. Ostan or the Santa Alliance. This is just a simple national reason! As a soldier of the empire, I have an obligation to win greater benefits for the empire to expand its territory!"
"Is national interests above everything else? But even if the Jamins Empire dominates the continent, if everything in the world will face destruction, then what's the point?" There is no point in quarreling on this issue. Feng Kan decided to try to convince Count Falgira from another perspective.
Earl Fargira narrowed his eyes and stared at Feng Kan for a long time without saying a word.
"I don't know if the Count knows the Great Prophet of Barrotan in St. Ostan."
"Did the Great Prophet of Barrottan? I know!" Count Falgira nodded, "Although the Supreme God Church has always claimed that it is a demon who uses evil words to deceive the world and spread disasters, I know that it is all lies. The Great Prophet of Barrottan is a respectable elder with rich life experience and knowledge."
Feng Kan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Count Falgira agrees with the Great Prophet Barrotan, other things would be easy. "In fact, our Majesty the King once sent an envoy to Jamins to convey a message. I don't know if the Count knows it!"
"The messenger from St. Ostan?" Earl Falgira looked at Blackbeard in confusion, "We have never heard of this before!"
Feng Kan's heart sank. The messenger who went to Jamins had not returned to St. Ostan yet. Entering Jamins Empire, he must first pass through Davolken. It is impossible for people of such a big thing to avoid news, but seeing Earl Falgira does not look like a lie, and there is no need for him to lie on such things! It seems that the messenger must have been in danger before he arrived in Vulken or had not seen the senior management of Vulken! The Jamins Empire did not receive their news. Could anyone stop it? Who is it? Why?
But now is not the time to discuss this issue. Feng Kan must let Count Falgira realize the seriousness of the form. "St. Ostan did send an envoy to the Jamins Empire, but something must have happened in the middle. But please believe our sincerity. This matter is related to the safety of the entire Trantak!"
"Oh? Why is it so serious?" Earl Fargira's expression became serious when he saw him so serious.
"According to the latest language of the Great Prophet Barrotan, the Chaos Army that once destroyed the Trantak civilization once will come again soon!"
Earl Fargira stopped talking, but still had no expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The prophecy of the Great Prophet Barrotan..."
"Does the Count believe in the prophets of the Great Prophet Barrotan?"
Earl Fargira suddenly smiled, "To be honest, if it weren't for the prophet of the Great Prophet Barrotan that had broken my layout in advance, I would have already attacked the capital of St. Ostan in the last war!"
Feng Kan was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Earl Fargira wanted to say, "Then..."
"But I can't do anything now..." Earl Falgira sighed, "Now Walken is full of their people, and even the Grand Duke has their spies around me. I can't implicate the Grand Duke!"
"They? Who are they?" Feng Kan was a little anxious. If this war could be stopped in time, it would have an immeasurable effect on the future uniting the Jamins Empire to fight against the Chaos Army! At least many soldiers do not have to die in this aggressive war but can be invested in the front line of fighting against the Chaos Army!
"Supreme Divine Cult!" Earl Fastrow said this name lightly. "Do you know why I defected?"
Feng Kan shook his head, because he didn't know that he was here.
To be continued...
