The Earl still stopped at two cards in the second hand of the first round, and the total points were surprisingly still 18.
Shard's first two cards totaled 13 points, so he drew a third card:
"So have you quit Blood Brew now?"
He said with a laugh:
"Look, Sun 6, that makes me 19 points again."
"Seems like luck isn't on my side today."
The Earl shook his head in disappointment, flung the two cards in his hand to one side, and then took the first hole card of the third hand in the first round:
"I know that drink is unhealthy, but ever since my lung disease healed, it seems that all my body's hidden ailments have also disappeared. Even my private doctor says I'm very healthy, so..."
He shrugged, meaning he hadn't quit.
Shard had no comment on this. Strictly speaking, the current Earl Darak was dead, so of course, the Blood Brew tainted with prohibited drugs couldn't harm his health anymore.
"Speaking of the Sun 6."
