Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 243: Where the letter goes

Shu En jumped out of the carriage and walked into his manor in the welcome of the mansion guard.

It is not easy to own such a manor in the wealthy area, but fortunately he did it. Although the process once caused some people to lose their families and their wives, but now those things have passed, so long that people no longer mention and remember them.

He took off the bowler hat on his head, revealing a bald forehead, and then handed the hat and coat cane to the servant who bowed to greet him. Shuen saw his little daughter and naughty little son walking down the wooden stairs. Rush up and down.

"Run slower, two little troublemakers." Shu En exhorted, and then smiled at his wife who appeared one after another on the stairs.

Now his own positioning is relatively simple.

Maybe he is a profit-seeking businessman outside, but at home he is just a good husband and a good father

After enjoying the fun of reunion with the family, while waiting for dinner, the butler who arranged all kinds of trivial matters came over.

"Master, there seems to be a letter from you." As the housekeeper said, he handed an inconspicuous envelope.

Hearing the sound turned his head, Shu En saw the name of the recipient on the envelope, which was still very formal.

Shu En didn't take it in his hand immediately, but looked up at the butler inquiringly, because the butler just used the word ‘like’. At the moment, judging from the recipient's name, this is an own letter, but why is it ‘seems’?

"According to the guard, it was sent by a homeless man. After sending it, he left in a panic." The old butler explained.

Shu En twirled his small beard, revealing a clear look. The main point of the words of the old housekeeper is obviously not the name of the recipient of this letter, but is afraid that if there is any malicious content in this letter, it will affect my mood.

Raising his hand to wave back the butler, Shu En observed the envelope in his hand for a moment, and then tore it open in twos.

Inside the envelope was a piece of low-quality sand cotton paper, and the text was a bit crooked, but Shu En didn't care. As a successful businessman, he knows very well that even if the truly valuable information is written on a piece of tree bark, its value will not change in the slightest.

The great astrologer Buu? Who is that? Shuen was a little baffled.

The first sentence of the entry made him slightly frowned. The astrologer had a slight impression in his impression, but it seemed to recall the stories he had heard when he was a child, and it was really old enough.

After reading the entire letter unhurriedly, Shuen raised his eyebrows.

The entire letter seems to have a lot of length, but only three things are said in total. Introduced the great astrologer Buu, boasted the greatness and mystery of astrology, and then predicted the first of the eight semi-finals in the arena.

Shuen has been paying attention to the annual arena tournaments. After all, Byron Bian is a country based on knights, and he himself was a Tier 4 adventurer when he was young, but he was tired of fighting and chose a new one. life.

Nowadays, he is still paying attention to events for two reasons. One is to remember the remnants of his youth, and the other is that gambling is inevitable in the annual event. He will also play a few hands off the court to relieve the pressure of daily heavy work.

However, he will usually bet after the quarterfinals have been decided, because the tournament at that time was exciting enough and full of variables.

The first of the eight semi-finals will be held tomorrow. This event will last for two days. After that, half of the 256 contestants will be eliminated, and 128 lucky winners will be selected to continue. Schedule.

This means that in the next two days, there will be 128 mini-elimination games in the arena. At the end of this letter, a prediction was made for the more popular one. Bolant vs. Zonar, two An excellent knight who is highly optimistic.

The letter predicted that the Bolant Cavaliers would win the game.

After Shuen read the letter, he threw it aside. Although the purpose and means of the other party's letter were not visible for the time being, the businessman's alert made him think it was a scam for the first time. Even if not, he wouldn’t take it too seriously.

Of course, he will not follow the **** prediction in the letter to bet, and the letter itself is clearly marked. If this mysterious-sounding prediction technique is used for profit, it will immediately lose its effectiveness.

This little incident passed so silently, but it left a small memory mark in Shu En's consciousness.

The next day, Shuen did not go to the arena to pay attention to the game, and it was time for him to make a bet in the last four quarter-finals.

However, when he was busy, he heard that everyone around him was talking about the arena matches, Shuen asked, the showdown between the Bolant Knights and the Zonar Knights. Judging from the order of the games given by the arena, that game should have ended today.

The person being questioned gave Shuen a clear answer. In the final result of the game, the Bolant Cavaliers were defeated and the Zonar Cavaliers advanced.

Obviously, the prophecy in the strange letter I received yesterday has failed.

What's wrong with me, I can't forget this kind of nonsense.

Shu En laughed self-deprecatingly, and dragged the incident directly into the vortex of forgetfulness in his consciousness.

Around Shu En's house, there are many mansions of similar size. This is not surprising. The main manifestation of the polarization between the rich and the poor is that the rich like to get together, and the poor can only cling together.

Osten’s home is not far from Shu En’s home, but because of the differences in the areas where each other is active and the projects they operate, the two did not know each other, and they never had any intersection.

Just yesterday, Ostan, as the head of the family, also received a strange letter from his housekeeper at the table.

After reading the letter, Ostan's reaction was similar to that of Shuen, and he didn't take it too seriously.

After today's game between Bolante and the Zonar Cavaliers, Ostan asked the surrounding people to discuss it. The result was that the Zonar Cavaliers won the game.

According to the prediction in yesterday's letter, which is consistent with the result of the game, it is clear that this prediction is correct.

But the matter only ends here, this kind of prediction has no technical content, let alone explain any problems. Even if a kid who is a little concerned about the game is dragged from the street, it is still possible to guess right.

Osteen did not pay attention to this matter anymore, but the tiny impression in his mind about this letter has unknowingly deepened a little bit.

Throughout the Byron Bian imperial city, there are many wealthy families like Schon and Ostan who received an unremarkable mysterious letter the day before the eight semi-finals, regardless of whether the prediction is right or wrong, and There was no splash.

Everything on Thor's side is still in order. In fact, after a large amount of silver coins were scattered yesterday, Thor no longer pays attention to the matter itself, but pulls Beth Stant and others to start preparing new letters.

This batch of new letters was prepared for the second of the eight semi-finals the day after tomorrow, and the time has undoubtedly been much calmer.

Moreover, the content of this letter has also been streamlined, and there is no longer a lot of talk about it, which greatly reduces the workload of everyone.

The letter mentioned that the great astrologer Buu took the liberty to visit again, and the main content of the letter was only a simple prediction of the outcome of the second semi-final that will begin the day after tomorrow.

The whole letter is just a few words.

In the eight finals, there were nearly 400 games in total. The first game had 128 games and took two days. There were 64 games in the second game, and it took a day.

In short, as a large number of participants are eliminated in the future, the process of the event will become faster and simpler.

In the first 128 games, Sol didn't make every prediction, so it was too tiring and unnecessary. And with the size of a small group of four, if all the matches are predicted, they will not be able to keep up with the competition process even if they are exhausted writing letters.

So in the end, Sol just picked out one of the games randomly, and made predictions about the more interesting ones.

Time passed silently, and in a blink of an eye, the second arena event also arrived as scheduled, and the winner was decided in the cheers of the people.

Sol didn't even bother to pay attention to the result, but turned his head and led everyone to predict the third game.

So from the first semi-finals, Sol spent most of the time with Beth Steiner and others in the hotel to write letters, or to find someone to deliver the letter, or the four of them ran out on the street to eat, drink and have fun. Take a stroll.

But Beth and the others were really curious, and they were about to explode.

They are very close to Sol every day, and they know that Sol may be planning something. The problem is that even if they participate in the whole process, they still don’t understand what Sol is doing.

What's the use of writing a letter? What did you lie to others as a liar? If you want to talk about **** astrological predictions, Sol, he neither goes to the arena to watch the game, nor does he pay attention to the result of the game, so how do you predict? Or what did you predict?

Whenever I asked Saul, the guy always smiled and spread his hands, saying that things were already being done, making everyone wait patiently. Seeing him is a horrible expression of death, which caused the three people in the team to be black all day but could not help him.

In Beth's place, she used all kinds of unused methods such as coquettish, angry, rolling, etc., but Thor just said to wait.

Time passed in speculation and fun, and in a blink of an eye, the half-month arena competition finally came to an end. The knight who won the final victory stepped onto the high stage in the attention of the whole people, enjoying his victory and glory.

Throughout the schedule, Sol never participated in gambling, and everyone didn't even know where the bet was. Even in the final finals, Sol still had no intention of paying attention until the event completely came to an end.

After the event ended and the carnival ended two days later, everyone finally realized that Sol did not do anything at all. He just took advantage of this excuse and dragged everyone to have fun in Byron Bian for a while. By the way, he stole a lot of street lights.

In his spare time, Sol also wakes up everyone in the middle of the night and moves around in various cities to commit crimes.

This day, just when everyone was preparing to pack their things and go home.

Suddenly, Thor summoned the crowd and took out twenty letters handwritten on parchment by himself. Even the envelopes he used looked a lot more delicate.

"It's almost ready to flop." Sol said to his friends.
