Chapter 125: Gambling on Saint Alian
Regner: "......"
Kordak: "......"
Vera: "......"
Anne Lot: "......"
Everyone: "......"
Ah Lian proudly made a fancy cut card with one hand, she looked at the sunspot who lost with only a pair of underwear left, and then asked in a tone of contempt: "Who else is not convinced?"
Although there were still many fighters drinking and chatting or shouting there, the people around Kuroko's gambling game fell into a deathly silence. Kuroko is a man who has worked in casinos for several years, how can he be said to be a veteran of gambling, even he has lost a lot, who else dares to come over and shout?
"Hmph! At this level, do you also play a gambling game in the barracks? Go back and practice for a few more years!" Ah Lian did not forget to stimulate the sunspot.
"Hell, I'm going to gamble one last game!" Kuroko obviously couldn't stand the contempt for his gambling skills.
"No problem!" Ah Lian nodded nonchalantly.
However, Kordaq behind him pointed out a sharp question at this time: "But man, you only have a pair of shorts left now, what are you gambling with?
"Hahaha!" the people around couldn't help but laugh.
"Then change the color head. Kuroko was a little angry: "If she loses, I want all your women to take off their clothes!"
"Ah Lian!" Regner came over, this last bet is a bit big, once you lose, can you really let Annie and the others undress? Not to mention whether Annie Lot agrees or not, I'm afraid that the Swift Wind Sword Saint with a dark face on the side will directly kill this group of scum......
"No problem, trust me!" Ah Lian was full of confidence, she turned to Kuroko and said, "What if you lose?"
"I'll give you all the gold I won at this table!" Kuroko gritted his teeth.
"No, no, no!" Ah Lian waved her index finger, she pointed to Kordak behind her, and said, "If you lose, then listen to him." ”
"What does he want me to do?" Kuroko was wary.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I can assure you that it's not against the laws of the Empire or the morality of humanity. Kordak said with a smile.
"......" Kuroko hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "Bet!"
"How are you going to compare?" Ah Lian spread her hands.
"It's better to shake the dice than the size!" Kuroko said, "The size is up to you!"
"That's it!" Ah Lian was very simple.
A few minutes later, although Kuroko was all over his body, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He had already gambled with Ah Lian more than a dozen times, and each time the two of them shook the maximum or minimum point at the same time.
It is not very difficult for a gambling master to control the points of the dice with his own skills, but the difficulty is to be able to be foolproof in more than a dozen games. Being able to fight until now without making a mistake is already the limit for Kuroko. But look at Ah Lian again, the maid still had a relaxed expression on her face, she lazily set the size, and then lazily shook the maximum thirty or the smallest point. Everything seems as simple as eating.
After two more games, the winner was finally decided. Ah Lian shook thirty points without accident in the final big game, while Kuroko only shook three points because of the trembling of his hands. Thirty-twenty-seven, Ah Lian finally won after more than 20 draws.
"I lost......" Kuroko seemed to be relieved after losing, he looked at Ah Lian a little weakly, and couldn't help asking: "Who are you? How can you have such exquisite gambling skills at such a young age?"
"Hmph, you've only been a bodyguard in a casino for a few years, and this girl's family opened a casino when she was a child!" Ah Lian's face was unfathomable, but she had a little sadness in her heart.
She was born in a small city in the province of Semrela, although her family was not of great nobility. But it also opened a big blockade in that city, and when it comes to money, it is not small.
And Ah Lian has also been influenced by her family since she was a child, coupled with her amazing talent, she was already proficient in using all kinds of gambling equipment at the age of seven or eight, and she has become a rare master in the casino at the age of twelve or thirteen.
But four years ago, the Brotherhood of the Bloody Hand took a fancy to their casino. They colluded with government officials to bring down their family, and in the end, their father was assassinated by the Brotherhood of Bloody Hands, and their second uncle was framed for violating imperial law and imprisoned.
As for Ah Lian...... She lost a gamble and was sold into slavery to Melindale. It was at that time that Malloret took a fancy to this clever little girl while she was wandering out of boredom, and took her in as a maid in the Windwind Mansion.
Due to the shadow caused by the previous gambling loss, Ah Lian did not have the idea of starting from scratch again with gambling. She asked Malloret to find her only relative, her mother, and then worked as a maid in the Wind Mansion.
It is precisely because of Malolet's kindness to her that in the past three or four years, the attendants of the Wind Mansion have changed several times due to low wages, but Ah Lian is still dead set on staying here. And all this did not improve until the arrival of Annelot.
Half a year ago, Ah Lian heard that the Bloody Hand Brotherhood, who had destroyed her family, had been completely destroyed by a mysterious assassin who called himself Dark Elegy. When she heard the news, she found a no-man's corner and burst into tears. The BloodHand Brotherhood has been a knot in her heart for years, and she is not without thoughts of revenge, but as a powerless little girl, what can she do to such a terrible organization?
And this dark elegy fulfilled her wish, and I heard that the scum of Taiwen died at his hands. Since then, Ah Lian has had another wish, which is to meet the dark elegy.
But because the identity of the Dark Elegy is too mysterious, and he hasn't been seen since the Brotherhood of the Bloody Hand thing has passed. It's almost impossible for Ah Lian to find him. So, after a month or two, she gradually buried this wish in her heart and stopped thinking about it.
But a few months later, something happened that Ah Lian didn't expect - the name of the Dark Elegy would once again spread in the Hawke Empire. What surprised her even more was that she had seen that dark elegy before!
It's the self-proclaimed Miss friend's Ray! It's the young man with a hippie smile and no shape! After knowing this, Ah Lian fell into shock, she didn't believe it at first, so Ah Lian also inquired from Anne Lot, intentionally or unintentionally.
But Annelot's answer was not in disbelief.
"The rumors are true, Ray's real name is Regner, and he was originally from a mercenary squad with me. As for the dark elegy, that should be the title given to him by his teacher. Anne Lot said at the time.
After receiving confirmation from Annelot, Arlene also had to accept this fact. The teenager ...... That Ray ...... The guy who was sneered at by himself, the dark elegy that destroyed the Brotherhood of the Bloody Hand......
When Arlene accepts this fact, her attitude towards Regner becomes strange. On the one hand, she hoped to see him again, and wanted to thank him in person, on the other hand, Ah Lian was extremely disgusted with him, who let this guy provoke my noble lady?
Therefore, since knowing the news, Ah Lian will always think of Regner, intentionally or unintentionally. This is also the reason why Arlene recognized Regner as soon as they met.
Of course, Ah Lian's mental activities at the moment are unknown to everyone, and they are all shocked by Ah Lian's superb gambling skills. Only Annelot, she seemed to sense Ah Lian's depression, but in front of everyone, she didn't want to ask more, the girl just patted Ah Lian's shoulder gently, and then gave an encouraging look.
Ah Lian smiled reluctantly, and then said, "Ah Lian jumped out on her own initiative today, I hope Miss won't blame me." ”
"You're doing a great job. Anne Lot said, "Thanks to you, they were able to save themselves some trouble today." ”
"Miss, do you really care about those people?" asked Ah Lian, she knew Annelot's temperament, and it was enough to show that Annelot valued them.
"They are my friends. Annelo nodded: "Since it's a friend, you should pay attention to it, shouldn't you?"
Ah Lian looked at Annelot, and then bowed her head slightly: "Ah Lian understands." ”
"I lost, if you have anything, just tell me. Kuroko stood up a little helplessly, he might be angry and unwilling before he lost, but now that winning or losing is a foregone conclusion, Kuroko is also very single-minded in admitting defeat, according to his words, this is a gamble. If a gambler doesn't even have the courage to admit defeat, then he doesn't deserve to be a gambler at all.
"Okay, we'll talk about that later, but for now, you help me get everyone together. Kordak flicked his shoulder, and it was time for him to show his skills.
"Gather everyone, what do you want to do?" Kuroko was a little more vigilant, this is a military camp after all, if a strange mercenary breaks in and yells at them, the impact may not be too good.
"If you call you, it's an order!" Alberon finally couldn't help himself, if it wasn't for Kordaq's pressure, he would have wanted to clean up this undisciplined rabble at the beginning.
"Order?" Alberton's attitude also made Kuroko a little angry: "Why should I listen to your orders?"
"Because standing in front of you is the supreme commander of your Independent Brigade, the Captain of the Independent Brigade, Kordak!" said Alberton.
