Chapter 70: The Certainty of Winning (I)
Huang Cang said firmly: "I said, I will help you repay your gambling debts, so that you don't have to die." β
Kai Dun on the side shook his head secretly, thinking to himself, Huang Cang didn't even know the details of this person, he only listened to his words, and was willing to help him so unreservedly.
Carl slumped to the ground, tears of excitement flowed down his face, and he murmured, "Child, you are such a good person, you are such a good person! Saved again. It seems that the gods are really looking after me and making me meet a noble person like you. β
Huang Cang helped Carl up and comforted: "Uncle, don't be like this, we can't see you go to a dead end! You can rest here with us for one night, and tomorrow we will go to the Dark City." β
Carl gasped incessantly, staring blankly at the fiery fire in front of him, muttering speechless.
Huang Cang took out dry food and water, handed it to Carl, and said, "Uncle, you can eat something first, and then rest early, when tomorrow comes, everything will be fine." β
Carl took the dry food and water, choked up, and said, "Little brother, how can I repay you!"
Huang Cang said: "You don't need to repay me, you just need to live well." Eat it. Karl seemed to be hungry for a long time, and desperately stuffed the dry food into his mouth, and only took a sip of water when he was about to choke. Huang Cang looked at Carl's eating appearance and smiled with satisfaction, for him, helping others is the greatest joy, and that will bring him a sense of satisfaction.
Kai Dun pulled Huang Cang to his side and said in a low voice: "Huang Cang, there are no good people in this Barun Empire, how do you know that this guy is not a liar? What's more, 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount, do you really want to help him?"
Huang Cang nodded and said, "Big brother, you see how pitiful Uncle Carl is! He is about to commit suicide, how can he be pretending? Don't worry about it, although 10,000 gold coins is a lot, it is still worth it to save people! I don't think the Magicians Guild will blame me." β
Kaiton sighed and said, "Then let's take a step and take a look, it just so happens that we are new here, and we also lack a guide." He couldn't bear to embarrass Huang Cang, but he secretly paid attention to this Carl who suddenly appeared. I thought, as long as you show your fox tail and do anything against us, I will definitely let you be in a different place, since entering the Dark City, Kaiton has been very cautious, after all, this is the dark land of the civilization of the whole continent, and according to legend, this place is full of evil atmosphere.
Early the next morning, led by Karl, a man familiar with the terrain, the four of them set out on the road to the Dark City. Along the way, Carl has been silent and rarely speaks, except for guiding the path. Only occasionally look at Huang Cang with grateful eyes. The closer he got to Dark City, the more worried the look on his face became.
The City of Darkness, one of the largest cities in the Barron Empire, seems to be on top of the City of Light, with bustling crowds constantly shuttling back and forth from the wide city gates, and on the surface, it is not at all obvious that this is a city with developed dark forces, as if it is not much different from the City of Light. When he reached the gates of the city, Karl stopped, and his face showed a look of pain, as if it was not the gate of the city, but the gate of hell.
"Uncle, don't worry, since I promised to help you repay the money, I will definitely be able to do it, let's go, let's go in." Huang Cang comforted Carl while taking out the elf bracelet from his arms, the bracelet was slightly hot, and a faint green glow flashed, Huang Cang looked at Kaiton, both of them were full of excitement and excitement on their faces, the bracelet had already told them that in the dark city, there was an elf existence.
Kaiton said in a low voice, "It's really lucky, I didn't expect us to find our target so smoothly in the first stop." "It's much easier to find an elven and ask about the whereabouts of the other elves.
Huang Cang put the bracelet in his arms, looked at the gate of the Dark City, and said confidently, "Let's go." "O suffering elven friends, you are about to be delivered. I will surely deliver you from the sea of suffering. Thinking of this, Huang Cang's eyes flashed with determination.
Walking to the city gate, Carl suddenly stopped, his body spasmed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Little brother Huangcang, I still won't go in, I, I'm afraid that I will meet someone who is forced to pay debts." β
Huang Cang stopped Carl's body that wanted to retreat, "Uncle, don't be afraid, didn't I promise to help you repay the money? With that, he pulled Carl and walked towards the city, how could Carl resist the power of Huang Cang, and the group of four finally entered the dark city.
The flow of people coming and going in the Dark City was more than three times that of the City of Light, and they all looked in a hurry, and many of them had decadent expressions on their faces. Having already entered the city, Carl relaxed a little and whispered to Huang Cang: "You see, those people with decadent faces and tired faces have gambled all night and lost money, and before, I was also one of them!"
Kai Dun said disdainfully: "How can a nation like this be strong, the civilians are all gamblers, and their bodies have long been hollowed out by wine and gambling, I think, if there is a war, I am afraid that this big city will not be able to hold for a few days." β
Carl sighed and nodded, "The word on the door is a gambling word, it's just a small casino, it's nothing." You're right. I don't know anywhere else, most people in the Dark City are in a state of decadence, and most people work just to make more money and get into the casino. We are not afraid of any war at all, and who does not know that the Holy See will protect us. We are all the most faithful believers of the gods, and the gods will bless us. β
Kaiton said disdainfully, "If God will bless you people, then he will be too blind." β
A hint of anger flashed in Karl's eyes, he was a loyal believer in the gods, but he now had a request for help, and he didn't dare to refute Kaiton's words, so he could only mutter: "Lord Celestials, please forgive the ignorant fools." He had a pious look on his face, as if the gods were really going to bless him.
Huang Cang said: "Uncle Karl, you can take us to the Magicians' Guild first, so that I can withdraw money to pay off your debts." β
Karl was about to agree, but was stopped by Kaiton, he pulled Huang Cang aside, Huang Cang said suspiciously: "Brother Kaiton, what are you doing? I have already promised Uncle Karl, I must do it, don't persuade me, I believe that Uncle Carl will not be a liar." β
Kaiton smiled slightly, and said: "What are you anxious about, I didn't say that I wouldn't let you help Carl repay the money, but this money can't be paid by the Magicians' Union, after all, it's to pay off gambling debts, although you are here to help people, but it may still affect your reputation in the Magicians' Union, which will be detrimental to the future." It's better for us to solve this matter ourselves. β
Huang Cang shook his eyes and said, "What, big brother, do you still have money?"
Kaiton smiled mysteriously, pointed to the small casino, and said, "Although I don't have it, but there is! Since it was the casino that squeezed Carl's property, let the casino help him pay back." β
Huang Cang scratched his head, he didn't understand what Kai Dun meant, and said suspiciously: "Big brother, are you asking me to gamble? Didn't you say that gambling hurts people last night, how can we go?"
Kaiton explained: "Gambling is really harmful, but if we can win steadily, we will not be harmed, and maybe we can help those gamblers vent their anger." Huang Cang, with your Xuantian Transformation skill, you should be able to control a lot of things. When the time comes, you can go to the casino and just listen to me, and I promise you will win all the debts that Carl owes. β
Huang Cang's confidence in Kaidun was still very strong, and he nodded: "Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you." β
The two walked back to Carl, who was pale and bowed his head silently, and said, "Uncle Carl, we will definitely help you pay back the money, but you have to take us to that casino first, and we have to see how this casino hurts people." β
Karl shook his hand again and again, "No, no, I'm not going, it's a harmful place! β
Kai Dun comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, we don't let you gamble, we just want to see how this casino hurts people." When the time comes, all you have to do is tell us how to play those things. As he spoke, he pulled Carl to Huang Cang and gave him a look, and the four of them walked towards the casino.
Cayton thought to himself, since this Carl used to be a wealthy businessman, and the places he went to were all high-end casinos, and he would never visit such a small casino on the edge of the city, and naturally no one would know him here. As soon as they entered the door, they immediately won two attendants, and as soon as they saw Huang Cang's magician costume, they immediately nodded and invited the three of them in, and sure enough, no one noticed Carl.
"Uncles, what do you want to play? I can introduce you to you. β
Carl, who had just said that he would never gamble again, entered the casino, listening to the familiar shouts and the collision of various gambling equipment, his heart seemed to be boiling, and his eyes continued to flash with excitement. Huang Cang was the first time to come to this kind of place, and he felt a little dazed. Kaiton said to the attendant, "You don't have to worry about us, let's take a look and then decide what to play." Although he told Huang Cang before that he was sure of winning, it was actually only because he was full of confidence in Huang Cang's skills, and he believed that no matter what kind of gambling could change the outcome. Cayton had always hated such things as gambling, and he had heard a lot of things like Carl. His goal was to bring down the casino. Turning his head to Carl, who was excited, he asked, "Uncle Carl, what is the fastest thing to make money here?"
Karl said without hesitation: "Of course it's the roulette, it's the big disc over there with the most people." You see, there are a hundred squares on the disc, divided into black and white, and each of them has a corresponding number, and the big table next to it is the place where the pressure is placed. As long as you buy your chips and go there and press what you want, you're good to go. Generally, there are the most people who press black and white. This gives you half the chance of winning. After the roulette wheel is spinning, the casino people will put a bead on it, and the bead will rotate quickly around the opposite direction of the roulette wheel, and when the roulette wheel stops, the bead stays in the grid of what color, and the person who presses this color wins. However, because the odds of winning are high, the odds are not very high, one to one. β
Huang Cang asked, "Then why do you still say that this roulette wheel has the fastest win?"
When it comes to gambling, Karl has already forgotten all about his business, put on the appearance of an old gambler, and said: "Of course, I have a reason for saying this, you can not only bet on black and white on the roulette, but also bet on points." The average casino can be multiplied by three, five, seven, nine, and ten. That is to say, the number where the ball falls at the end is a multiple of three, and those who press the multiple of three can win three times the bet, and those who press five can win five times, and so on. This is not the highest odds, the highest can reach twenty-five to one, that is, to press the number, only one number. β
Kaiton nodded, "The odds are indeed very high. Huang Cang, you give me the money that President Nar gave you, and I'll change the chips. β
Cayton was guided by Carl, who had forgotten everything excitedly, to the casino's chip exchange desk, and after a while, he walked back, followed by an attendant with a large plate full of purple chips. Carl opened his mouth and said: "It turns out that you are so rich, a purple chip can represent five gold coins!" The surrounding gamblers saw the chips in the hands of the attendants, and they also cast amazed eyes, obviously treating Huang Cang and the others as big gamblers.
A thin man who was a little obscene approached Kaiton's side and whispered, "Uncle, since you have so much money, why do you want to come here to gamble." Come to our Jinfu Casino, our service is top-notch, and there are beautiful chicks to serve you, as long as you pay a starting price, we can satisfy you with anything you want. β
Kaiton's heart moved, he glanced at him, and said, "Since we are already here, let's play here for a while, and if we win, we will go around with you." β
"Okay, okay, then I'll wish you a successful start, uncle. The thin man said flatteringly. With that, he quickly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Kaiton walked up to Huang Cang's side and whispered, "Let's go, let's go play that roulette." With that, head to the roulette wheel.
Carl excitedly stuck to Kaiton's side, and as soon as he arrived in front of the roulette wheel, the person next to him immediately dodged his position, leaving a space on the roulette wheel. In this small casino, gambling is generally done in silver coins, and some civilians even have dozens of copper coins to have a good time. Seeing a big high-roller like Kaiton, they naturally dodge the place to see the gambling method that spends a lot of money.
Huang Cang and a few people gathered in front of the roulette wheel, and Kai Dun leaned into Huang Cang's ear and whispered: "If I press something later, you can use your true qi to control the ball to fall there, but don't emit a dou qi glow, it's best to transfer the dou qi from the ground into that machine." "In fact, Kaidun can barely do it, but in order to be more sure, so he will let Huang Cang carry it out.
The dealer looked at the rare big gambler and thought, this time he must let these guys lose all of them. He shouted, "Come down! The little gamblers on the side placed bets one after another, but Kai Dun did not move, he leaned into Huang Cang's ear again, and said, "You try first, control the ball in the grid of No. 55, and see if it works." β
Huang Cang nodded slightly, and the dealer couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that they were not involved, and ordered his subordinates to start spinning the roulette. The gamblers on the side kept shouting the numbers they had pressed, shouting one after another, the roulette wheel spun up quickly, and the dealer put a wooden ball into it, and the ball kept beating gently on the roulette wheel, making an aggressive sound.
Huang Cang lowered his head, the magician's cloak completely covered his body, he closed his eyes, urged the Xuantian True Qi in his body, completely converged the light, and carefully probed into the roulette wheel with his fighting energy. As soon as the fighting spirit entered the bottom of the roulette, he couldn't help but be startled, because, through the induction of the gas machine, he found that there was a person squatting in the roulette machine, although Huang Cang didn't understand why there was someone, but he knew that he couldn't let that person find his fighting spirit, and carefully urged the fighting spirit silk to probe into the roulette through the wooden board next to him, at this time, the rotation of the roulette wheel has slowed down, Huang Cang quietly controlled the beating wooden ball with invisible fighting energy, the roulette wheel gradually stopped, but the ball was still beating, all the gamblers were wide-eyed, waiting for the ball to settleγ The ball slowed down, and finally, it bounced a little and rolled into the grid of number fifty-five.
The dealer was a little strange, this time the signal he gave was obviously sixty-three, how did it become fifty-five, how did the guy below do it. The method of cheating in the roulette wheel is very simple, in the wooden box under the roulette wheel, there is a person, he can also see the number of the roulette wheel from below, the dealer will give him a signal before the start of each game, he will put a magnet with great suction power under the iron roulette wheel according to this signal, after the roulette wheel is rotated, the wooden ball with an iron core will naturally be attracted by the magnet, there is a probability of more than 80%, will fall into the lattice with the magnet below. In order to better control, the people below will generally put magnets in several different grids, so that the casino can be said to win and not lose.
A gambler suddenly exclaimed, "I won, I won, I hit a multiple of five, fast, fast to lose money, I pressed a gold coin, haha, hahahaha." β
Kai Dun was also pleased, his judgment was indeed correct, Huang Cang did have this ability. The dealer's face remains unchanged, this small mistake is sometimes unavoidable, five gold coins is nothing at all, and the loser is still the majority after all. What he cares about the most is this high-roller who has exchanged thousands of gold coins. Take back the ball and tell your men to lose money to the winning gambler. Looking at Kaiton, a professional smile appeared on his face, and he asked tentatively, "This uncle, don't you play with both hands?"
Kai Dun said: "Of course you have to play here, you are ready to play the next game, I am going to bet." β
The dealer was secretly happy in his heart and adjusted the roulette wheel, at this time, the previous game had lost money, and he said loudly: "Okay, start betting, play more, get more." β
The gamblers put their chips where they wanted, and Rock took out two chips from the tray of the attendant behind him, placed them in the position of the thirteenth, and said, "I will press the Duhao." β
The dealer scolded in his heart, this guy must be a fool who burns buns, and he actually pressed the single number, even if I don't cheat, you can't press it. "Okay, buy it and leave. His men stopped collecting the bets, and the dealer spun the roulette wheel vigorously, glanced at the betting wheel quickly, and quickly compared a few numbers with his right hand to the people below, and then put the wooden ball into the wheel.
Huang Cang stared intently at the fast-spinning roulette wheel, he was not in a hurry to control the wooden ball, too early control would not help, but would lead to suspicion. The wooden ball kept beating, and when the roulette wheel was about to stop, Huang Cang's fighting spirit quietly wrapped around the wooden ball again, and when the wooden ball jumped to the thirteenth position, he accurately brought the wooden ball into the grid. How can the suction power of the magnet be compared to the energy of the upper douqi silk......
