Chapter 35: Gambling to Win Back
Luz put her hands on her slender waist and let the wind and sand blow the long white dress, smiling with pride. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Where did you come out, the people of the Venola Empire will first come up with evidence to prove their identity. 」
Luz stretched out her arm without hesitation, and the traces of the beast species inlay on her right wrist appeared in the sunlight.
Major Kadar was rather unimpressed, and ordered the adjutant next to him to come forward and inspect it. The adjutant was quite strong and even, and he was dressed in a neat imperial brown military uniform, which looked very tight by muscles. He came to Luz taller than Luz's muscular body, and although I sensed Luz's nervousness, I quickly suppressed it and asked the soldier to scan the ID beast species with a machine.
The adjutant checked the information displayed on the screen of the device, and then trotted back to the commander's position. After hearing the adjutant's report, Major Kadar's face changed suddenly.
Major Kadar said nothing more to us, mounted the mounted beast that had been placed aside, and ordered his troops to mount their mounts as well, intending to end the mission which he regretted about his expedition.
"Please wait a moment, Major, I can give you a chance to save this gaffe, I wonder if you would like to communicate again?"
Luz rode around the departing troops on the Dada Lizard and ordered the Dada Lizard to stay where it was. She showed her beautiful arms, and her smile was sweet and sincere.
"What do you mean?"
"Your Commander only needs to come with me for a gamble, and if you win this game, I will allow the troops to enter the Beep Woo search to assist in the investigation of the case. 」
Major Kadar's face was full of hesitation, and he put two fingers on his chin to consider, hesitated for a moment, and asked for details.
Luz turned to look at me, and I immediately understood what it meant in words.
"Your lord sent the proudest beast to compete with the beast we designated, and the rules are the same as the competition in the casino, how about it, would you like to try it?"
"If we lose, what should we pay?"
He understood that he was indirectly caused by the gambling factor, but this did not make him learn to behave, looking at his expression as if he was saying: Since he lost because of gambling, then use gambling to win back.
Luz replied quickly to that question and got straight to the point:
"I would like to be granted the right to participate in the investigation of the case, as well as the right to access intelligence. Well, it won't be bad if you win or lose. 」
"What the hell do you want?"
Luz's words stirred up Major Kadar's emotions, and his face looked displeased.
Luz pulled out the shawl that hung in the saddle bag. The dust blowing in the wind made her frown in discomfort, and she felt soothed by the shawl covering half of her body and head.
"I forgot to add that if the beast you offer is defeated, I wish to transfer it to me. 」
"Why do you need to do that?"
"You don't need to ask, just answer honestly yes or no, or, your lord is actually looking forward to what kind of punishment you will give to you if you return empty-handed? However, your official has hindered the research of me, an A-class capable person, and if you come and go at will, you will alarm the beasts in the research and cause the results to be biased, which will also slow down the progress of "strengthening the country", so which side will the noble official favor if you think that the state is weighing the cases you are investigating and the development of the country? So, accepting my request is only good for you, right? 」
Major Kadar seemed to agree, albeit with a serious expression and a cold tone in response. However, he still asked his subordinates to take the order to act.
The adjutant instructed several soldiers in earthy brown uniforms to line up from the ranks, measure the measurements around the desert according to the specifications provided by Luz, and erect the flag of the Venola Empire at a specific point, and then use the flag as a fulcrum, and pull ropes between the points, so that the simple square arena with the sand as a base was completed in less than ten minutes.
The lieutenant tightens the reins and leads his foal to the corner of his camp's arena and takes off his foal's facial armor. Helmets strung with pieces of iron and leather were thrown to the surface, and their impactful weight kicked up a cloud of dust.
Who should we send to the game?
Without much thought, Luz thrust me into the arena. Of course, I didn't want to put myself in a life-threatening environment for no reason, I should say that I was driven by instinct, and my feet wanted to leap up and run into the desert wilderness without any hindrance.
"You can try it, if you can find the key to the appearance of black matter, maybe it is the 'king's brilliance' that 'special you' has. Haha, but that's an excuse, I just want to try some of the combinations of ingredients, and maybe the servant beast on the other side is the key to the deliciousness? 」
Luz said that the beast was a Komoda dragon lizard of the same genus as the Dada lizard, and that it was a special species of the species. The Komoda dragon lizard is a feminist race, and the female adult dragon lizard has an absolute position in the group, and in the female group, if the organ that symbolizes the authority of the race has the advantage, then it will become the leader of the group.
I looked at the Como dragon lizard standing across from me looking in this direction, its dark-eyed golden boy's side eyes grasping at my figure with a strong will, and unlike the flat mouth of the da-da lizard, its long, sharp and curved beak like an eagle's hook was sharp enough to easily scratch my neck. It has a distinctly textured red skin attached to its epidermis, and it bears a status symbol on its head. The high crown of gold and white feathers looked like a large scythe when viewed from the side.
Am I really going to fight this dangerous thing, and I wonder if the meat makes it taste better, even though it looks good. But I'm still a little worried that getting its meat is a risk, because the scythe feels dangerous.
