‘And now, my dear friends, I have a very special riddle for you. A special riddle with a special prize.’
Shou Len removes something from his tunic pocket and holds it aloft for all to see. It is a playing piece from a samor set, an exquisitely carved queen made of ivory and inlaid with gold.
‘This is a valuable item, and therefore I must request that you wager a minimum of 100 Ren.’
If you have 100 Ren (10 Gold Crowns) and wish to wager them on the next riddle in the hope of winning the Samor Queen, turn to 229.
If you do not have sufficient Gold Crowns, or if you choose not to place a wager on the next riddle, you bid good night to Anseng and retire to your room. Turn to 286.
