Continuing "Light, Short, Scattered" and "Devil's Corner"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Ancient castle mansions are spotless in every corner.

The mansion is outside the city, but it is facing the king's palace.

There are only two people living in a huge mansion: one servant and one master.

The owner of the mansion is Dominic, and there is a vault in the mansion full of gold, silver and treasures.

The vault is built by top craftsmen, and outsiders cannot steal any item without a key.

The owner of the mansion is suspicious and stingy. You won’t want to harm me, right? If you touch me, the king will dismember you. This is what the master said to his servants in the early years. Of course, it can be seen that the master has a great relationship with the king.

The servant delivered three meals on time every day as usual.

Apart from this, the master rarely communicates with the servant, and today the servant's face obviously has a hint of elusive tension.

"Master, someone is looking for you." The servant slowly stepped in and packed up the leftover lunch that the master had eaten today.

The master frowned: "I don't accept it, it's not that I'm not saying that I don't bother me if I have a small matter."

The servant lowered his head: "No, he asked me to give you this. He said that you will meet him when you see this."

The master looked at the window and did not walk to the window and looked down: "The last time I said this, I finally drove him away with a hunting rifle."

The servant shook his head: "It may be different this time. The black feathers sent were half an arm long. What kind of animal can leave behind?"

The master waved to the servant: "Take it and take a look."

The servant took out a piece of black cloth and opened it in front of the master.

I saw a feather, which was larger than any feather of chicken, duck, and geese.

The servant said nervously: "Can it be the ostrich's hair? The black swan's hair is not that big."

The master smiled and said, "It looks like it, but it shouldn't be. How could you guess that you are so stupid? Well, let him in after you have nothing to do with it."

The servant lit his head and ran out of the room with the cutlery. After a moment, a man walked in.

The master looked at the newspaper: "Who asked you to come?"

The man smiled: "My name is Louis, and the one who sent me is your old friend."

The master was too lazy to remember the name of the man in front of him, and heard the word "an old friend": "Which old friend?"

Louis smiled: "On the corner."

The master raised his head at this time and looked at Louis with a frown: "He? Impossible."

Louis tried to find a stool and sat down: "It's okay if you don't believe it, he asked me to get something back."

The master shook his head: "I didn't have a foul, why should I take it out? I used it very happily, and it's nothing if I don't laugh. I don't have any side effects and backlash. He shouldn't have done that."

Louis looked at the master: "I don't know what I'm coming to get, but your old friend hopes you can hand it over."

The master touched his pocket: "You have to tell me your story first, how did you see him?"

Louis's eyes flashed to the upper right corner: "I have no money, I'm thirsty and hungry to that corner. A broken man appeared, and he said that the demon was at the intersection of this corner, and people often said that. They also said that as long as you pass through the entire corner of the street, sitting on a bench due to negative emotions such as anger, distress, sadness, etc., the demon will appear. If you are willing to give up something and exchange it with it, it can satisfy one of your wishes. He sat on the bench and told me a story, and he said that he exchanged love for love and got a lipstick. But the person who loves her does not only love him, but also loves all the men he sees. Maybe the children are not his, so he returned to that corner and became a nightmare."

The master was nervous at this time: "What did he take you, and did he give you anything?"

Louis paused at this moment and said nervously: "No, he said he could only exchange for one at a time. There is only one heir every time, so I'm not wrong with that thing in your hands, right?"

The master took out his pocket watch: "Yes, I heard from him that he is just a poor fool. There are two kinds of people in this world. Smart people and fools, and they may not be able to turn over with the fool's gold, but smart people like me are different. I exchanged the same smile for a pocket watch that will win every bet. The world has changed from the moment I got it, and the smile has no meaning to me."

The master held the pocket watch and grabbed ten more coins from his pocket: "I guess they are all heads."

The coins fell down and were all humans, showing them in front of Louis.

Louis was puzzled: "How do I know if the coin was tampered with, and the back may be a human head."

The master smiled: "So? Have you brought coins?"

Louis took out three and looked at the master: "Can they still be all human heads?"

The master smiled and said, "Listen to you, there are all heads."

Louis threw it and landed on the ground.

Louis's expression was both terrifying and shocking.

The master has seen this expression in front of more than one person, and has long been accustomed to it: "This is not a riddle, you know what I mean. I just bet on everything I want, and the devil is what it is. What can be changed to smile is power, countless rights. Unfortunately, I don't want to be a king. You don't know that the king will also bow to me, right? I am his treasury, he has the key to starting a war, and he needs to kneel down and shine my shoes. So I am willing to give you some money, you can go. Just pretend that I have never seen that devil, and I will not return the things to him."

Louis kept himself calm: "Are you scared?"

The master shook his head: "What am I afraid of? I'm just negotiating with you. Otherwise, if you get the watch in my hand, you will not be able to live without here. The army will come to you soon, and you will die if you don't wait for you to return the watch to the devil."

Louis looked at the pocket watch: "So has the devil failed?"

The master nodded slightly: "I said there are two types of people in the world, smart people and idiots. It is obvious that the devil is a idiot, and I am a smart person."

Louis looked at the master with a look of winning: "Okay, smart guy. Let's make a bet?"

The master looked disdainful: "Can't you see the watch in my hand? There is only one ending to bet with me, that is, you will lose."

What Louis remembered: "I don't know your name yet."

The master spoke: "Dominic."

Louis picked up three coins on the table: "Then I bet in Dominic's name, and these three coins will be heads."

Louis threw down the coin, and sure enough, three heads were in their hands.

The master also moved forward and looked carefully at the coins on the table: "You inspired me. So this thing is OK? Is this demon telling you?"

Louis smiled and said, "It will work, so if I set up a bet on your name, you will die in five seconds. Unless you hand over the pocket watch in your hand immediately?"

The master's face looked very ugly. If you read it in my name, you will definitely succeed. Then you will definitely win the bet. The condition for winning the bet is that you will die, so you will naturally obviously die.

Louis smiled and said, "The embarrassment is just a setting, but it is not now. If you win every bet, the pocket watch will obviously give up your life in order to win, right? After all, this is the ability of the pocket watch, and it is not yours, but the demon. Then I bet with you now, Dominic..."

The master put down his pocket watch: "Stop talking, it's yours."

Louis picked up the pocket watch and looked at it. The beautiful gold watch had no flaws.

The master stretched out his hand: "Wait, young man, what's your name?"

Louis left without looking back: "You are a smart person, will I say?"

The master took a sip of the black tea on the table and thought about it the more he became, and he said to himself: "If I just bet he would die soon, wouldn't he die? This watch could be used like this. But it's not too late now, absolutely not too late."

The master shouted, "Servant!"

The servant rushed over and stumbled and carried his ill-fitting pants: "What are you asking, lord."

The master took out another key from his pocket: "This is my vault key, and the king will understand when he sees it. Remember that man, let the king be wanted all over the country to get my pocket watch back. It is my mother's relic, that hateful thief. I can ask for my pocket watch if he dies."

The servant lit his head and took the key forward with his hands. The servant's lowered head showed a smirk at this moment.

"Go quickly." The master sat at the table and recalled the past.

That was when I was rich enough to rival a country, I gave up being a king and chose to live in a castle outside the city.

The king looked at the master: "You want to use the keys of the vault as an order? Are you not afraid that I will take the soldiers and the keys to steal your mansion and take away all your property?"

The master smiled: "I will win every bet. No matter how much you take it, you will make a comeback. If you kill me, then the money will be spent one day. So you keep me and I will protect you as the most powerful king. But in contrast, if someone imitates me and gives you an order, only this key is unique and cannot be copied."

The king nodded his head: "I'll just listen to you, and you can guarantee me to be the most powerful king."

Thinking of this, the master raised his cup and took a sip of black tea. As soon as he drank the tea, the master suddenly realized it.

When the young man just now made a bet in his own name without a pocket watch? Then as long as he bets, he would definitely get the gold watch back? Isn't that enough?

"I bet my gold watch will return to my hands, now right now." The master finished shouting, nothing happened.

"What's his name? Lu? Let the man who came to my castle die immediately." The master shouted again, as if nothing happened again.

The master picked up his ten coins, threw them on the table and shouted, "In my name, all of them are heads."

The coins are scattered and different.

The master picked it up one by one and shouted again: "In my name, Dominic, all are frontal."

It's still the same, and it's different.

The master walked to the three coins left by Louis and grabbed Louis's coins.

The master remembered what the man said: How do I know if the coins were tampered with each other? There was also a head on the back.

At this time, the master looked closely and found that the three coins were all heads.

Compared with the six coins that I was still on the table that had not fallen off the table, I should have discovered these three coins with such rough workmanship at the first time.

Deception, naked deception.

The master shouted again: "Servant!"

But he never called anyone again, and the master sat on the ground in a collapse.

The gate of the vault has no keys, and the life of his own without a servant cannot take care of himself.

Two days later, the master left the manor with a crutch.
