Chapter 448 The Gambler's Table

Because this time can only stay for twenty minutes, so Shade I had to avoid topics that would drive Mr. Riddle mad as much as possible, and patiently inquired about things here.

And when Shade wanted to know about this room, the shaggy man lowered his voice and looked at Shade with a miserable smile with bloodshot swollen eyes:

"There is no exit in the Fort of Dread. We can only enter and cannot leave here. But there are a few existences that can let us escape in other ways. Sir, look at this!"

He pointed to the card at The square table in the center of the room, the oil lamp can only illuminate half of the square table:
"This looks like a table."

"What is it actually?"

"It's actually also The table! But don't be disappointed, this table is called a relic by the demoness! This table, can call the gods! I have fully researched, use this table sealed here to win the game If you beat the gods, you can make a wish to him, and we can go out!"

"summon's relic? Beat the gods at a game?"

Although Trusting the judgment made by the woman's voice, Shade subconsciously took a step away from Mr. Riddle:
"speaking of which, how did you eat here?"

He asked without a trace:
"I'm a little hungry, do you have any food that humans can eat?"

"It's simple, I got a A [relic] capable of turning any ordinary item into food."

Unsuspecting, Mr. Riddle took out a palm-sized, flat hexagonal bronze metal box from under his robe and handed it to him. Shade.

Shade hesitated before taking it, confirming that it was really a relic. The lid can be removed, and some small cookies are placed inside.

"This can turn any normal item into food, but it doesn't taste as good and makes people appetite for the item before the conversion. I usually use the stone and dust here, but I try Yes, even feces can be transformed.”

Mr. Riedel said that Shade thought he had heard about it from Augustus priest, so he had no interest in those little cookies.

He was very interested in the "prophet"'s experience of obtaining this relic. Considering that the other party was just an ordinary person, Mr. Riddle was definitely the most admirable ordinary person he had ever seen. But that memory was equally blurred, and Mr. Riddle could only say that it was an adventure from a long time ago, but could not remember the specifics.

Returning the [relic] to Mr. Riddle, the sloppy middle age person smiled happily:
"It's just that it's a little more troublesome to get drinking water, but it's humid here, so use simple You can make some dew in the day when the temperature changes greatly. Are you thirsty? I have some leftovers here."

"No no, I still have some water on me. I'm actually ."

He wanted to make up his identity, didn't expect Mr. Riddle shook his head:

"Don't tell me, as long as you are human and you want to go out ."

"Yes, I want to go out too."

Shade said, taking a wooden pipe full of water from his pocket and handing it to him:

"Do you need water? I have a lot more."

Taking the container from Shade, hesitantly licked his chapped lips, the middle age person took off the stopper, and raised his head, After drinking all the water, Shade shook his head with emotion:
"I'm afraid you will be asked to play this game, so I can only help you by the side."

Although the so-called "playing with the gods" Gambling" is very interesting, but [Father of the Infinite Tree] is asking to help Mr. Riddle, not Shade himself.

"Of course, I found this room, and I won't put my hope of escaping to others."

Mr. Riddle after drinking water Said, he thanked Shade a little tiredly:

"I'm not even sure if you are my hallucination on the verge of collapse."

"You treat me as a god. Come and help you."

Shade said casually:

"By the way, Mr. Riddle, which god do you believe in? When you were praying just now, I I didn't hear clearly."

"[Mr. Huan]."

The middle age person said very seriously, drawing a roughly circular holy emblem on his chest. Shade thought about it for a while, but he didn't seem to have heard of this god:

"Sorry, this is."

"No need to apologize, this is the head of [Fate] ], the ancient god of [reciprocating cycle], many people think that he is gone, but my companions and I have glimpsed the achievements of this great man in ancient documents. Mr. Huan is the real god of creation. An Ancient God who is greater than all known gods."

From his description, this [Mr. Huan] is most likely the Ancient God corresponding to [myriad forms, impermanence, destiny].

Thinking about it this way, in the fifth era when the Ancient God has gone, Shade of the sixth era of the Ancient Divine General of time sent to save the faithful believers of the ancient God of destiny. Shade really seems to be, sent by the gods to help this gentleman.

"I have lived in the Dreadfort for a long time, but I still can't spy on the secrets here. One day not long ago, I finally accepted my own destiny of death, and calmed down and said to my Lord. When I prayed for the last time, it was as if fate had drawn me to this room and learned how to use this relic."

"How?"

Shade curiously asked , then stared wide-eyed suddenly, he suddenly thought of a probability:
"You can't be. Have you heard your own voice from the bottom of your heart?"

He doubted that he would meet It was the first ring warlock in history, but the voice in the ear just now clearly said that the other party was just an ordinary person. And the ring warlock of the Fifth Epoch should be all women.

"No, no, I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown, but not to that extent."

Mr. Riddle shook his head:
"When I entered the door, there was a Those corpses sang together, you can't imagine how terrifying that scene is. They told me what happened here, and told me what to do with what they called the unknowable relic [God of Gamblers' table]. Use. I also know that the language here can be understood because I understand their different languages. I was terrified at the time, lying on the floor in a coma, and I don't know how long it took to wake up. Sorry, I My pocket watch is already broken.”

In fact, even if it is not broken, the pocket watch may not be useful. Like the Town of Hope and the Forest of Thousand Trees, there is no clear time point here. Even Shade's [time perception] can only know that it is the winter of 1784 in the fifth era.

But when Shade has raised [Time Perception] to the point where he can clarify the truth of the Sixth Epoch time, he can almost know more specific time in such strange places.

"Sir, I was hesitant to sit at the table, didn't expect you to show up. I thought, now is the time, it's time to start. Even if it's going to be a bet with the gods , I also have to face it."

Mr. Riddle nodded to Shade seriously, Shade also nodded:
"Then start, Mr. Riddle, I will help you until the game is over ."

"Then it's very good, there are people who can talk to me, it's better than me alone no matter what you are."

He probably still doubted that Shade was just him Hallucinations on the brink of insanity.
