Chapter 175 The Gwent Card Can Make People Forget Their Pain

The wind of the night~~ blowing gently
With a faint fragrance of orchid~~~
I saw my baby shivering~~asked him what was wrong.

Cute Jerry said with a pale face~~~
I see ghosts and shadows in the night~~

In a tavern on the southwestern border of the Guinness Kingdom, a bard is singing softly.

The melody is very soothing, but the content is never full of black and strange talk.

Su Ge sat at the table near the entrance of the tavern, holding the rum in his hand, just took a small sip, and didn't drink much.

He's not good at drinking and ordered this glass of the cheapest rum just to make himself less out of place.

Two days ago, Su Ge left Bain City, was escorted by church personnel to the border, and successfully joined a caravan at the outbound supply station and entered the territory of Guinness.

Although there are constant internal strife in Guinness today, the inspection of the border seems to be very strict.

Su Ge also couldn't tell whether it was the people from Wanas or the people from the anti-imperial faction who checked them.

Anyway, during the inspection, Su Ge used some mysterious means to easily hide from the guards and enter the territory.

After that, I followed the caravan for about half a day and came to this border town.

When Su Ge was surprised, this small town was very peaceful, and people's lives were as usual, orderly, not at all like a country in a civil war.

Rented a very clean room at a price of 6 renmin per night. After staying for one night, Su Ge came to the only tavern in the town to inquire about news from the capital.

No matter how detailed Wanas said, she is a commander in the deep palace after all, and these low-level residents know much more about the real situation than she does.

The size of the tavern is not small, it looks about 150 square meters, with a total of more than [-] tables.

Due to its location at the border, the business of the tavern is very good.Su Ge saw businessmen, mercenaries, soldiers who had switched defenses, and local residents here.

"You should be a businessman from the Belant Empire!?" At this moment, a rough voice sounded.

Su Ge heard the reputation and saw a middle-aged man with a strong build, a big yellow beard, and a gray casual clothes staring at him drunkenly.

Su Ge frowned, and asked curiously, "How did you find out?"

"Because only you Berlant merchants drink rum as a cocktail! Like a bitch! Hahaha!"

As he spoke, the strong man grabbed his big wine glass, poured half of the rum into his stomach in one gulp, patted the big yellow belly that was exposed outside, and said, "Rum, you should drink it like this!"

Hahahaha!

Immediately, some locals, mercenaries and soldiers laughed happily.

Su Ge also laughed. He didn't think it was a kind of belittling or contempt. He raised the cup slightly, and after finishing it in one gulp, he grinned and said, "I learned it!"

Doing as the Romans do is always the best way to obtain information.

"Hahaha! Young man! Jem likes you!" The brawny man laughed, turned and returned to his seat to continue drinking.

Su Ge ordered another glass of wine and stood up. At this time, he also let go a lot. He casually walked to the next table and said to the three soldiers who had switched defenses: "Come! Thank you for protecting our safety!"

After speaking, he gulped down.

The three soldiers are not very old, and they seem to have only been in the army for a year or two.

"Hahaha! Not bad! This Berante businessman is very good!" The other locals followed suit and shouted loudly.

Seeing Su Ge so happy, the three soldiers also raised their cups and drank heavily.

Su Ge took advantage of the situation and sat down, grinning and said, "Would you like to play Kunt?"

The three soldiers shook their heads, and the older black-haired soldier said, "We don't have time to play with this thing."

After hearing this, Su Ge's eyes flashed brightly, and the attendant took out his Gwent card from his arms and said, "That's really a pity, I don't even have time to play cards, you should be very busy at ordinary times, right?"

The three soldiers seemed to have received some orders, and a trace of warning flashed across their faces.

The black-haired young man continued: "If you want to play cards, go there, we are not interested."

Su Ge smiled slightly: "I'm really sorry, Brother Bing."

As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the inside of the tavern.

"Although it looks peaceful, these soldiers seem to have been given a gag order and are on guard for something. They have a strong smell of weeds, and they should have just returned from the mountains not long ago."

While Su Ge was meditating, he suddenly heard a burst of wailing.

Following the sound, Su Ge saw a man lying on the table, crying while drinking, as if there was something sad.

Looking carefully, the man was wearing a fairly decent shirt. Although he didn't wear a coat, his pants and leather shoes showed that he was not an ordinary farmer.

And Su Ge keenly noticed a lump of cube-shaped protrusions in his left trouser pocket.

Suddenly, he found his goal.

So Su Ge randomly found a place to sit down and asked, "What's wrong with that person?"

The blond mercenary who was eating meat gloated, "My son disappeared, and my wife ran away with someone else. I've been here for two days. What a tragedy."

Su Ge's heart moved, and he walked over to sit down with a glass of wine.

"Get out! I'm in a bad mood today!" The young man who looked to be in his 30s yelled violently as soon as Su Ge sat down.

Su Ge put down his cards and cup at the same time: "If you keep crying like this, your wife will never come back, and neither will your son."

The young man sat up suddenly, pinched Su Ge's collar with his red eyes, and smelt of alcohol: "Outsider! Do you want to fight?"

Su Ge raised his hand and said, "I'm not interested in fighting, how about a round of Quint?"

The young man looked down at the exquisite Gwent card in Su Ge's hand, and his attention was gradually attracted: "You know Gwent?"

"Of course, I'm a veteran!" Su Ge looked confident.

The young man sat down slowly, took out a relatively old set of cards from his trouser pocket, and asked, "What are you betting on?"

"One Langk?" Su Ge took out a golden banknote.

The young man began to shuffle the cards skillfully and said, "Repentance is not allowed."

Su Ge said with a smile: "Don't worry, the most important thing for a businessman is integrity."

As he said that, he also began to shuffle the cards.

The young man stared at the banknotes, and the sadness in his expression gradually dissipated, replaced by a seriousness and excitement: "Today I will win you all!"

Seeing the young man's appearance, Su Ge sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, the magical Gwent card can make people forget their pain."

So in the next half an hour, in a total of three games, the young man was full of energy, eloquent, and used misleading, psychological and other techniques while playing cards to interfere with Su Ge's playing cards. His son and his wife who ran away with others completely forgot.
