Chapter 448

Ah Choo.

Lorne was sitting in the family residence on Sdeo Island, and suddenly sneezed. Garrett next to him immediately worriedly asked him if he had a cold.

"Someone should be cursing me secretly." Lorne said nonchalantly,

"Let's continue."

"Oh." Garrett took out a deck of playing cards, randomly picked out one and placed it on the table.

"Keep guessing and trying."

These cards are specially made by the family, and the weight and size of each card are exactly the same, and it is impossible to tell them apart from the outside.

"Three of spades." After pondering for a while, Lorne expressed his judgment. His fruit ability is to strengthen his five senses and steal the target's perception ability, so when facing dead things like poker and dice, he doesn't exude breath. If he can't judge by the sound of landing, he You can only use Garrett's eyes to "see" what this card is.

But now even Garrett herself doesn't know, so Lorne can't use tricks.

Garrett turned over the card, and although it was a three, it was clearly a three of clubs.

"It's a little bit worse." Lorne touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. According to probability, the probability of guessing the hole card from the exact same fifty-one poker cards is quite small. In fact, this was already the fifteenth time Lorne lost to Garrett.

Although it was quite a big improvement from being completely different at the beginning to now being able to guess suits or numbers, but losing is losing, and Lorne didn't want to deny it.

"This is already the fifteenth promise you lost to me, and you are not allowed to stay up all night!" Garrett said proudly, "Let me think about what the next promise is."

Because he was going to go to Elbaf by sea, Lorne took a break from his busy schedule and spent a rare time with Garrett.

When proposing the game of whoever loses and who makes the promise, Garrett actually had her own thoughts. She knew what Caesar had left for him, and vaguely guessed what dangerous things Caesar was doing, and she didn't want Lorne to get involved. .

But with Lorne's personality, how could he stand idly by when his family was in trouble. So Garrett wanted to win Lorne a promise to let him listen to Caesar at critical times.

The groundwork is almost done, let him make that promise the next time he wins.

Thinking so, Garrett drew a card from the deck and placed it in front of Lorne.

"Do you want to keep guessing?"

"By the way, how long do you have to prepare for Elbaf's voyage?" Lorne asked first instead of guessing the cards directly.

"Sister Lola said that to build a boat that can take Sister Jasmine, the workload is too great. Even if the factory at home is running at full capacity, it will take a while." Garrett said slowly. Eun keeps asking this question, and it can be seen how desperate he is to go to Elbaf.

It is definitely impossible to pass through the Neptune's lair in the windless zone with only one raft, and Lorne does not want to make a mistake when sailing this time.

"However, it will definitely be finished before the end of next week. Sister Lola told me so." Garrett said slowly. She understood Lorne's feelings, but it was precisely because of her understanding that she was worried.

"Next week weekend." Lorne thought to himself, by then the cultivation of Gage's clone would almost be completed. The timing was just right. Without thinking too much, he began to perceive the cards Garrett placed on the table,

"Diamond..." When Lorne was about to say Diamond A, he had a feeling in the dark, and he blurted it out without even thinking about it.

"Block K."

Garrett's face changed slightly, but when she lifted the hole card, the smile on her face froze completely.

Because what was placed on the table was a square K.

"Finally I won." Lorne took a long breath, touched Garrett's head, and said with a smile,

"Then Xiaojia promises me that it will be fine to hide behind me in case of danger in the future, and don't be brave."

"A real man never puts his woman in the slightest danger."

"Oh." Garrett replied in a daze, is this the fate in the dark? She had seen in a certain classic that the four kings of the playing cards represented the four emperors in ancient times.

And this square K represents the one in the legend,

Julius Caesar!

Lorne didn't think much about it, and played a few more games with Garrett. I don't know if it was because of the luck of the times, but he seemed to be able to see the cards, and he won all of them. It also made her make a few small promises.

...

Great route, new world, Bubble Island.

A small boat came to the port of this bustling island. A man in a cloak stepped out of the boat.

The cloak covered his whole body, leaving only his short blonde hair and a pair of surprisingly long earlobes.

"Has Bubble Island changed so much?" The man murmured to himself. When he left this place, Bubble Island was just beginning to take shape. Unexpectedly, it has now become the largest island in the New World. There is a vague tendency to become the economic center of the first half of the new world.

The man smiled, without thinking too much, went to the newsstand on the side of the street, picked up a newspaper and started reading.

Although the world's newspaper industry is monopolized by "big news" Morgans' "World Economic News", the number of newsbirds is limited after all, and it is impossible to distribute newspapers to everyone's hands, so many small newsbirds have also been born. newspaper company.

The business of these small companies mainly consists of one thing, which is to copy and sort out the news of "Shijing".

"Did so many big things happen after I left?" The man read the newspaper while walking towards the city center, and smiled after seeing some news, "That guy Lorne almost died in Asia Ze's hand?"

"Shocking Conspiracy! Conjecture about the Big Bang in Sri Lanka" was written in the newspaper.

It was written in the tone of admonishment that what destroyed Sri Lanka was not the duel between two top swordsmen, but someone who led them there in an attempt to annihilate those well-known strong men in one fell swoop.

And the object of guessing was Yaze who was offered a reward by Lorne.

As a senior cadre of the Vinhill family, he directly saw the essence of the "Big Bang in Sri Lanka" news from the surface. Lorne should have been fooled by Yaze, otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry and issued a reward of one billion Baileys.

At this time, a handsome man with long blond hair and a woman with red hair and earphones passed by the man. Behind them were a group of tired-looking slaves. It seemed that they had gained something in the slave market.

Seems like a big deal.

The two men looked at each other and then left.
