Chapter 3 The Meditation Card The Gambler
What if my sister is insane?
Waiting online, very urgent.
Although Diego himself has no experience in dealing with such situations, the original owner of his body has experience.
The memory emerged in his mind, like a conditioned reflex, Diago stretched out his hand, strangled the other person's throat, and said:
"Calm down! Elsa! Calm down!!!"
What the hell is choking someone to calm down.
Just when Diego felt astonished at his behavior, Elsa's somewhat crazy behavior really stopped in front of him.
The other party's constricted silver-gray pupils returned to their original shape, and his expression calmed down. He reached out and patted Diago's arm.
Diego also quickly let go of his hand.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, Diego." After he let go of his hand, Elsa, who was strangled, took a step back, "I'm too excited."
At this time, Diego also understood from the memories that emerged one after another that this ridiculous way of handling was taught to him by Elsa herself.
Afterwards, Elsa, who had recovered from that nervous state, brushed her long silver-gray hair around her ears, avoided his wounds, and asked softly:
"How did you get hurt?"
"Abrasion."
While showing the wound on his wrist to the opponent, Diego said:
"That's what happened just now. I didn't know what I caught when I fell."
He also didn't know why he was injured.
In fact, he really didn't know, and guessed it was also scratched when he fell down just now.
Why is she averting her gaze?
Diego silently observed the opponent's actions.
He still has the mentality of a game, the idea of looking for clues by observing the actions of npcs.
Although he is not a professional detective, the other party is behaving very strangely, and his current situation is also a bit strange. Don't act rashly, you don't know the other party's psychology.
"Wait a minute. Psychology? I seem to have ordered Psychology."
Diego suddenly remembered that he had ordered the skill of psychology.
And, there is a 75% success rate.
The systematic book interface emerged in Diego's mind, forming an illusory interface in front of Diego's eyes.
Psychology test.
no response.
Verification is a judgment link that often appears in board games such as dnd and coc.
The skill of psychology is generally used to verify the authenticity of what the other party said, and to interpret the other party's intentions.
Although this is the first time he has come into contact with this wizard sequence, it is obvious that the coc-like running group rules have been added.
He has been exposed to a lot of coc and dnd running group games, especially from the perspective of detectives, or involving the history of the Victorian era, such rules that often appear in games that make up for gameplay.
However, most checks, such as identification and listening checks, will indicate success or failure, but psychology is different, and will not indicate success or failure, that is to say, this piece of information.
But, no response?
Is it the wrong way to use it?
Whispering in his heart, he tried various methods of using skill checks, but the interface was still gray and unresponsive, while Diego maintained a normal expression on his face.
At this time, because of Diego's silence, Elsa couldn't help asking:
"Is there anything wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Elsa shook her head, and glanced at the top hat and tuxedo hanging on the coat rack, as well as the walking stick below, and the pocket watch on the table. After scanning the entire room, she turned her gaze back to Diego.
"You'd better be careful." After saying words of concern for his injury, Elsa turned around and left the study, "Good night, Yago."
"Good night." Diego shrugged his shoulders, watched the other party close the door and leave the house.
After the other party left the room, Diago's relaxed expression gradually disappeared.
Something is not quite right.
His sister, after seeing his wound, acted rather strangely.
After that, Diego went to the window, drew the curtains, and then began to confirm his situation.
There is something wrong with my current situation.
He needs to sort out the status quo.
After straightening the sleeves of his white shirt, Diego sat at the table and began to organize his thoughts.
He is currently located in the vassal state of the Bassatona Empire—Glora County of the Principality of Cartesia, the suburb of Dilud City, and the villa of Baron Fast.
He, Diego Clauredo Fast, is the fourteenth of the Fast family and is now the Baron.
However, their family situation is not good.
Because of his father's unexpected death, he originally studied history at the aristocratic university in Red Rose County, Rose Public School, next door to Glora County, and was preparing to study for a master's degree. He returned to Glora County and returned to Dilude City, inheriting the position of Baron.
Master's degree? Is it a graduate student? Diego himself didn't go to graduate school, and he doesn't know much about these things.
but
If he remembers correctly, it seems that in the real world, research institutes appeared in the 19th century, that is, around the Victorian era, with a master's degree.
And he, "Baron Faster", was studying at the Rosary School.
Noble school?
"Public school" does not refer to a public university. Rose Public School is undoubtedly an aristocratic university. If you want to enter this university, the school will first evaluate whether the other party's family is in line with the school's school ethos. Only people with upper bourgeois or noble background can enter this university school.
However, in recent years, it seems that a group of students from the middle bourgeoisie have been recruited
But therein lies the problem.
The Fast family, since the tenth generation of Fast, has declined significantly. It is just an ordinary, no real power, no territory, and only one hereditary title of nobility. In terms of assets, there is no doubt that the small noble family is completely on the edge of the upper class.
middle class?
Diego doubts whether the current Fast family can still be labeled as a "middle class".
And now, because of the repayment of debts, the Fast family only has this quaint villa in the suburbs and the carriage in the yard as their exclusive assets.
All the servants in the family were also dismissed, leaving only one who followed Fast XII, the grandfather of the original owner of this body, followed the Thirteenth, and is now serving him, the third-generation old housekeeper—Fan Ke Adams and his granddaughter.
The woman just now was his half-sister Elsa, both of whom were descendants of King Fast XIII.
About Elsa.
Elsa was very good to him, but at the age of eight, Elsa had such a situation.
From time to time, you will fall into a state of madness like just now.
Especially when he is bleeding, Elsa's performance becomes more exaggerated.
For this situation, in memory, Diego himself is very familiar with it.
That's why I just had that feeling.
but
After sorting out all the status quo, he confirmed that he probably couldn't quit the game.
Repeatedly switching on and off or simply waiting, did not find that the exit button appeared again, and the method of forcing exit also failed.
This is the first reason.
The second is memory. The technology of injecting memory has never been heard of by Diego, and Master Lu has never mentioned it.
The third.
Yago looked down, looked at the table, looked at the surrounding furnishings, the scene was so real that he didn't feel like he was in a game at all, just like in reality, the detail was too high, Contact Feedback is also not like being in a virtual world.
After sorting out all kinds of situations, I probably, maybe, should, might, seem, if I am right, I have encountered the so-called "crossing" bridge.
He crossed over to the young Baron Fast.
When Diego sorted out the memories in his mind and figured out the situation of the fourteenth Baron Fast who was possessed by him, more than half of the night had passed.
He grabbed the silver-gray pocket watch on the table and looked at the 10 numbers in the small circle of 26 numbers in the big circle.
The three pointers jointly determine that it is 4 o'clock in the morning.
There is a subtle difference from the normal world. There are 26 hours in a day in this world.
Slap.
Closing the pocket watch, Diego looked at the exquisite and gorgeous pocket watch, at the silver-gray emblem on it, and at the shallow wound on his wrist, and couldn't help calling the system menu again, staring at the two Special Skills:
[Talent Silver Blood (Physical): Constitution -2, Dexterity +1, Immunity to metal poisoning, increased affinity with silver metals, especially mercury, can slightly increase the recovery speed of injuries by eating silver metals, taking mercury The time-to-time recovery amount is additionally increased, and the recovery speed is accelerated, which can control the silver blood in the body to a certain extent.
——"The legacy of the ancestors, beautiful and deadly silver"]
[Talent · Thin Blue Blood (Physical): Thin Blue Blood (Physical): Constitution -1, Will +2, Appearance +1, increases the potential to communicate with invisible objects and magic power, and the difficulty of advanced low-sequence is slightly reduced
——"The Wisdom of Wizards, the Glory of Nobility"]
This is a random skill that each player in the wizard sequence rolls a 0-3 four-sided dice to select a random skill. Yago rolled 2 and got two skills.
"The legacy of the ancestors, beautiful and deadly silver."
Diego read in his mind the description about Silver Blood on the book-like system page.
In memory, the logo color of the Fast family is silver-gray, and it is not other metals, but mercury.
As for more details, the original owner himself did not know the detailed history of the Fast family, because he was not interested in the family's glory.
But now, he felt that he needed to understand.
"If you have time, you need to learn more about it."
Diego sighed. In order to relieve the fatigue of his eyes, he subconsciously turned his eyes and looked outside the house.
However, it was completely dark outside.
Only the garden plants reflecting the thin moonlight were vaguely outlined in Diago's eyes, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but Diago felt as if he saw something.
To confirm, Diego stared carefully out of the window for a few times.
But nothing.
He groped his body, and found a card the size of a tarot card in his pocket.
Above the card is a crooked roulette, on which red and black dice are falling from the air.
gambler.
A bonus item for pre-ordering the game, the meditation card of Sequence 9.
[Meditation Card: Sequence Nine——The Gambler

——"Gamblers believe that their expected goals will definitely come. After consecutive failures, it is easier to succeed, and after consecutive successes, it is easier to fail."
】
The Gambler's Fallacy, the name of the theory came to Yago's mind.
As for the material
Requires a gaming tool and a token of luck.
Gambling equipment
What to choose?
Diego's eyes wandered around the room, and finally, beside the silver-gray wallet on the table, he saw a coin.
An old copper-colored coin, with letters that resemble Roman numerals and Arabic numerals embossed in the center.
On the back, is a portrait of a person.
The Kingdom of Cartesia issued three kinds of currency, the gold "Rose", the silver "Sia", and the copper "Carter".
1 Golden Rose=20 Silver West Asia=240 Copper Carter
Is this conversion ratio based on pound pence?
And the portrait.
Bacha II.
It is now September 4, 1880 in the Gregorian calendar, and the king is Stumpk XVI.
And King Bacha II, or Sturmonk II.
A king named Bacha Stumonk Cartesia, a king called "Bacha the Fool," "The Jolly King," "Bacha the Untouchable," and "Bacha the Lucky."
This king was originally the illegitimate heir of King Stumonk I, and he was a commoner. When he was proclaimed king due to various coincidences, he did many things that were considered ridiculous by the nobles, even the middle class, and commoners. .
However, what he did had a great impact, so his head is engraved on Yincia today.
However, compared to these things, Diego cares more about——
Coins should be able to be used as gambling tools, right?
The meditation card in his hand, Sequence Nine—a gambling tool for a gambler.
If possible, Diego is ready to use it as a "gambler" for one of the Gambler's sequence requirements.
Although I don't know how it will be used in the future, but it is specifically indicated that gambling equipment is required, that is, it may be used frequently in the future, so from the perspective of safety and caution, inconspicuous and small gambling equipment is the best choice.
He still doesn't know how dangerous this fantasy world is, but Xiushi Lu's favorite game is definitely not the type of game that he likes to study and solve puzzles quietly.
Even if the memory of the original owner did not record anything that could be called mysterious.
Re-examined his memory, stuffed the gambler's meditation card close to his body, looked at the sky that hadn't lit up yet, and the somewhat groggy and extremely tired Diago closed the door, walked to the sofa, and lay down go down.
When he was extremely tired and fell asleep, the door was quietly opened, and a figure walked in. After stopping in the room, in front of the desk, and in front of the sofa for a while, he turned and left.
