What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 176-175- Celestial Eye Stone
"After paying 1000 gold dragons, each customer will have three opportunities to bet on stones, and then the best one will be taken as the 'score', which ends at five o'clock in the afternoon," Wilcost explained in person after everyone was seated. The so-called rules of the game came into being.

"If no one can draw a better blue eye stone than classmate Edward before five o'clock, then even if classmate Edward wins, the blue eye stone king will be yours."

"Can we take a look at the Blue Eyed Stone King first?"

Edward doesn't seem as impetuous as Domi imagined. Could it be that he is really a genius at identifying treasures?

"Of course!"

As the young master here, Wilcost clapped his hands, and a servant carried the heavy treasure box and delivered this once-in-a-century treasure.

The treasure chest slowly opened, and before he even saw anything, Duomi felt the strong breath of wind. It was obviously a leaping wind, but it was as steady and gentle as a mountain range, and as deep as the sea.

"A rare treasure." Domi commented in advance.

After Duomi said this, everyone else became interested.

Wilcost was pleased with their response:
"Spiritual things recognize their owners. When the holder drops blood on it, the aura will not leak out and instead nourish its owner. Therefore, this blue-eyed stone king still has no name. Just wait. Someone is destined to pick one for it."

"Well, that's enough." Edward nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Take it down."

"Yes, my lord."

"No, just leave it here. It will be mine soon anyway." Edward stopped the servant.

The servant looked at Wilcost for help. He nodded in acquiescence, then narrowed his eyes and said with interest:

"It seems Edward is very confident."

"Isn't this nonsense? Why would I come here if I don't have confidence?"

Wilcost's eyes twitched inaudibly: "Then I will wait for the good news from classmate Edward."

"No, no, no, don't wait quietly," Edward said again: "It's no fun to play with these people, Wilcost, how about we have a bet? The rules will still be the same as the competition, and the bet will still be the Blue Eyes King. If you still It doesn’t matter if you want to add something.”

"Edward is joking. In a competition open to the general public, how can you change the rules temporarily just because you care about me?"

"Does the Cumberbatch family still care about what these common people think? Or... Mr. Wilcoster, you can't afford to bet?"

Ai Wei was shocked. She had never seen such a strong and aggressive Edward, but it was really a relief.

Wilcost hesitated. If the two parties involved in the bet were reduced to him and Edward, it would make it clear which party would lose face. Whoever loses would be a frontal blow to the reputation of the other party.

Moreover, he also took out something as valuable as the Blue-Eyed Stone King as a bet, so his influence will definitely not be small.

But then I thought about it, it's not impossible. After all, this is his home court. No matter how powerful Edward is, can he be as powerful as the entire team of treasure appraisers from the Cumberbatch family here?
There is no way I can lose. This is a sure-win bet. The advantage is mine!
After much thought, Wilcost finally agreed despite Edward's continuous provocations.

"I accepted this bet, but I paid the Blue Eyes Stone King, and I also need you, classmate Edward, to add some chips."

"This is normal, just say what you want."

"How about half of Blofeld's estate in Callia? The Blue Eye Stone King is worth the price."

Argyle was shocked after hearing this. If half of the industry was given to Cumberbatch, it would be difficult to hold on to the other half. It would be equivalent to giving up the entire Kallia market share to Cumberbatch. This was already What a gamble!

"Hey Edward, this kind of bet is no longer a trivial matter! Please wake up."

"Don't panic, brother, I know what's going on."

Seeing that Edward was like this, he probably wouldn't be able to pull back ten cows. Argyle could only wish the gods to bless Edward.

"Come on, Wilcost."

"readily!"

"But we have to choose stones alternately, and I want to go first."

"no problem."

Soon, word spread that Edward and Wilcost had made a bet, and more and more people rushed over like sharks smelling the smell of blood.

People who had participated in the competition before were too angry to speak out, but after receiving a full refund, they enthusiastically went over to join in the fun.

Under the attention of countless spectators, Edward and his friends were facing each other across the bank from Wilcost and a whole treasure appraisal team on the second floor. Between them were piles of rough rough stones waiting to be cut.

A middle-aged man wearing a black dress stood on the stage in the middle of the first floor. He was the person in charge here and now acted as a temporary referee.

"Now, the bet between Master Wilcost and Master Edward has officially begun. According to the agreement, Master Edward will make the first choice."

Under the nervous expressions of his friends and the gazes of many spectators, Edward chose a piece at random as if without thinking.

The discerning people in the audience shook their heads secretly. Their years of experience in betting on stones told them that this rough stone was absolutely useless and would not produce anything good.

Sure enough, after being cut open by a professional, it was found that there was only a little bit of blue eye stone fragments inside, not even the large shaped blue eye stone, let alone the fineness.

The team of treasure appraisers on the opposite side made disdainful laughs when they saw this, and then after some screening, they directly selected a good blue eye stone for Wilcost, which was already good in terms of quality.

But this game is about choosing the best one among the three. If Edward is lucky, this blue eye stone may not be enough.

Therefore, Wilcost did not take it lightly. It would be better to say that he would not let down his guard until the last moment.

Even when the treasure appraisal team was complacent, they poured cold water on the spot:

"Concentrate on me, the next one must be better than the previous one."

On the other side, even Nancy and Nats were worried about Edward.

They didn't know how much Blofeld's half of the Calia estate was, but Domi and Argyle knew that the property on paper was enough to buy half of Nancy's home.

The referee immediately labeled the blueeye stones in the two newly opened rough stones. Edward's was unformed and Wilcost's was B+.
High judgment.

With Edward's stone-breaking ability, it is estimated that no one here except Duomi and the others would think that Edward can win.

Then the second round of stone selection began.

Edward, who made the first move, still chose one at random. On the other hand, the 'professional team' observed it for longer than last time, but they actually gave them a higher grade blue eye stone, which was enough to get an A.

Once the level reaches A level, it already has strong magic power, and Wilcost is very satisfied with it.

There may only be one high-quality blue eye stone like this in a batch of rough stones.

Edward has also improved this time. Although it is only a C-grade product, it is still a big piece. It would not be a loss for ordinary gamblers, but it is impossible to beat Wilcost.

"Last chance." Argyle reminded.

"I know, don't panic, I have the advantage." Edward was still full of confidence, "Let's see how I can turn things around."

Domi's eyes became strange...the third round.

Everyone was sweating. If Edward could get a perfect blue eye stone in the last round, it would be a sure win!The effect of the program is immediately full!
This is what they, the melon-eating masses, most want to see.

"Young Master, we really can't choose anyone better than the last one this round..."

Wilcost was quite satisfied with the last one, and asking them to come up with a better one was really difficult and impossible under the limited conditions.

"Well, next we just need to pick out the tallest among the short ones. I will make it impossible for Edward to win. You will benefit from it afterwards."

"The young master is magnificent!"

"I will wait and do my best!"

This time, Edward casually ordered another one. The crowd burst into mourning, and some even left early.

Wilcost opened a B-level one. Even if it wasn't an A, it didn't matter. At least it made Edward less likely to even open a B-level one.

And Edward was C-level even in the end.

"It seems the dust has settled." Wilcost shouted from the other side, unable to hide the pride in his tone.

"Edward, you...sigh..."

"Uncle Carlos will definitely spank you if he finds out."

Wilcost walked across the corridor and said face to face: "I hope that Edward will admit defeat. I will accept Blofield's properties. Please don't blame me~"

"It's early to open the champagne on the way, isn't it? The gamble isn't over yet."

Edward's words were shocking, making Wilcost frown:
"Could it be that you want to cheat?"

"How is that possible, ladies and gentlemen! Open your eyes and take a good look! Referee, please take out the second rough stone I opened."

The large C-grade blue eye stone was carried up again.

Edward turned to Domi and said, "Domi, you should have noticed it, can you help me take it out?"

"of course."

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Duomi walked to the first floor and came to the original stone that had been cut.

He is not a professional cutter, but what he is about to cut is something that even a professional cutter cannot do.

Duomi took out the dagger 'Yelu' from somewhere and cut half of the blue eye stone.

One knife...two knife...

Until the fifth cut, a ray of blue bloomed from inside, almost blinding all the stone gamblers.

The person in charge and referee who had seen countless Blue Eyes stones couldn't even speak properly, and his whole body was trembling:
"Is this... is this the legendary blue eye stone that can only be seen in a century?"

"Celestial Eye Stone?!"

"The legendary Poseidon Eyes!"

The only lapis lazuli stone today was polished by the same legendary craftsman into a gem worthy of being handed down from generation to generation. It was named 'Eye of Poseidon'. It was originally kept in the treasure house of the old Lionheart Empire, but after the uprising, He disappeared without a trace, lost in the flames of war.

But now, the second lapis lazuli appears!How can one not be excited?

Duomi, who is the closest, can feel the majestic magic power contained in it. No better than the pretentious Blue Eye Stone King, the truly precious Celestial Eye Stone is restrained, unobtrusive, and deeply conceals merit and fame.

He smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that the legendary blue eye stone would be hidden in C-grade stone."

Seeing the entire piece of lapis lazuli being dug out by Domi without any damage, the people of Wilcoster were dumbfounded. Such a turn of events?

The whole place was excited, and they didn't expect that the turning point they had dreamed of had really come!They can brag about this to their neighbors for ten years!

At this time, Edward had already opened the treasure box, picked up the 'precious' blue-eye stone king with his bare hands, and threw it into the air without cherishing it, weighing it without taking it seriously.

"Classmate Wilcost, don't you think this blue-eye stone is suitable for edge decoration?"

In front of the Celestial Eye Stone, even the Stone King can only serve as a foil.

Wilcost's teeth were almost broken, not only because he wanted to compensate Stone King, but also because he was so angry that Celestial Stone would be fired here by Edward in front of hundreds of people!

If it were a stone gambler, the lapis lazuli would be back in his hands the next day, but he couldn't do anything to Edward.

"The expression is very ugly. Wilcost, are you okay?"

At this time, Xia added another knife and stabbed into his heart.

But he could only reply with a forced smile: "It's okay..."

"If nothing happens, let's go~" Edward and his friends laughed happily and walked past Wilcost, who had a dark face.

"Oh, by the way, are there any craftsmen nearby who can help me process it? Cumberbatch's treasure appraiser is so good, so the jewelry processor must also be good, right?"

"No delivery!"

"Hahahahaha!"

As Edward's laughter faded away, the air pressure around Wilcost dropped a lot:

"Damn it! Throw out those guys who fail to succeed and fail! I don't want to see them again!"

Regardless of what was going on behind him, Edward held two peerless gems in his hands and smiled like a child. He didn't even bother to eat dinner and asked others if they knew the jewelry craftsman.

"I do know a person. My Dark Moon Slime Amulet was modified for him. His craftsmanship is no worse than that of a professional."

Speaking of craftsmanship, Domi immediately thought of Leonardo da Vinci who lived in the craftsman area.

The original slime amulet was just a necklace with no aesthetics, but in his hands, not only the function was enhanced, but the appearance was also changed to be more exquisite, just like those expensive necklaces in the previous life.

The group of people ran to Da Vinci's small workshop again.

There were so many young masters and ladies from rich families here at once, no matter how little he cared about fame and wealth, he would still be shocked.

Pulling Duomi aside alone: ​​"Hey, hey, you don't have to come to my place to hold a noble banquet, right?"

Duomi pulled his head away: "What are you talking about? I'm here to bring you business. Celestial Eye Stone, have you heard of it?"

Da Vinci was frightened for the second time: "Oh my God... Lazuli!? Are you sure?"

"It's sure, and it's freshly baked. We can only help you this far. If you fight it once, you will be rich for three generations!"
