Chapter 184: Good Luck (I)
In the mountainous imperial city, the white-haired and beardless old man was still sitting on the extremely comfortable-looking sofa chair drinking coffee, and his face still had that unfathomable expression.
It's just that there is no middle-aged man who looks like dementia opposite him this time, and there is an extra beautiful girl wearing a royal blue dress with a youthful atmosphere.
The old man spreads one hand flatly, and the red, yellow, blue, and white elements in his hand are surging, interweaving a colorful, three-dimensional image.
"Don't keep pestering me to use the 'holographic element projection', the mental power consumption is very large, and the demigods can't stand such consumption......" The old man spoke a little lacking in qi.
"Oh," the beautiful girl replied, but obviously didn't listen to what the old man said, she just stared intently at Luo Songxi in the image.
"Wow, it's a burst ice pick as soon as it comes up, it's too exciting," she commented while watching, "Teacher, he hasn't even reached the golden level, you threw an owl to scare him last time, forget it, this time you directly get a sanctuary level past, aren't you afraid of killing him directly?"
"First, I didn't get that pirate leader, he was approached by the pirate leader, and it was the result of his greed for that piece of wind and meteorite. I'm just guiding it a little bit, directly manipulating cause and effect, I'm not so empty. The old man retorted.
"Second, he can't even get a reckless man at the level of the Holy Domain, which can only show that Charles saw the wrong person back then, and if he dies, he will die, and there is no pity. But I'm sure he's lucky even if he's not in good shape. You see, he went to the 'Good Luck Casino'. Don't worry, this is only the first question, there is no risk, and there are more powerful things waiting for him later. ”
......
......
When the old man and the girl were watching a play in the imperial city, Luo Songxi had already regretted his intestines.
After beating the secret watchman, he cleverly faked the scene where the secret monitor was besieged to death by the Lore Brotherhood, thinking that in this way the Secret Ombudsman would keep an eye on the Lore Brotherhood and never find out about him again.
Unexpectedly, the pirates of the Caro Islands are far more ruthless and terrifying than the owls of the Empire, they are simply a bunch of crazy people.
When the whole empire was wanted, the big Lore Laudrup not only did not flee back to the sea, but for the sake of the wind and meteorite, he came to the door in such a big way, leaving no way for himself to retreat, and no retreat for Luo Songxi.
And when Da Lore Laudrup just appeared, Luo Songxi had a chance to get out.
But he was worried that if a group of methods were used, his identity would be exposed immediately, after all, he would know these methods, and he alone had no semicolon.
So with such a hesitation, Da Lore's explosive ice pick pierced into his body, and he had lost even the initiative to flee for his life.
Could it be that he has been far away from the wilderness of Xixing State for too long, and he has learned the ability of those bigwigs in the Federation to repeatedly calculate the gains and losses in everything, but he has forgotten the most direct survival instinct in the past?
Luo Songxi understood that just over a week after arriving in Gilesto, he was facing a huge crisis.
He calmed himself down as much as he could, stood up, and began to walk out.
He knew that with the nature of these pirates, even if he handed over the Wind Meteorite, they would not be able to let him go.
He had to find a solution to the ice pick in his body.
"What is the principle of this exploding ice pick?" he asked77.
"It is very common for a high-level mage to make a spell freeze without emitting, and he can use his mental power to control the detonation time of this icicle, which is somewhat similar to our remote-controlled magic circle. ”
"I think one of the loopholes that can be exploited is that this ice pick lasts for about two or three hours, but he probably won't allow you to delay it. The second is that he can control the range of this icicle, which should not exceed five hundred meters. ”
Luo Songxi is now using all his strength to launch the Shadow Walk, and the distance he can move in the Shadow World is about two or three hundred meters, which is still a little short of the control distance from Da Luoer.
"Then ......" Suddenly a spiritual light flashed through Luo Songxi's mind, "Then the kind of mental power interference device you mentioned last time, can it affect him to control this ice pick?"
In the blink of an eye, he had already walked to the door of the alchemy shop, pushed open the door, and a carriage was already waiting outside the door. Luo Songxi got into the carriage at the signal of Da Lore.
"Which direction?" asked Da Lore.
"All the way to the west, in the East Seventh Ring Road Changying Heavenly Street. Luo Songxi replied.
......
......
The East 7th Ring Road is the largest business district in Gillesto. From the beautiful shopping malls to the glittering restaurants and bars, from the morning, the atmosphere of noisy and modern business has been filled. It's also the only commercial area in Gilles that doesn't close on Sundays.
Where there is business, there must be a casino, and what shopping mall will not welcome those lucky enough to win a lot of money from the casino? Adjacent to Changying Tianjie, the largest and most luxurious shopping mall in the East Seventh Ring Road, is the most famous casino here, the Good Luck Casino.
It is rumored that the controller behind the Good Luck Casino somehow went to the south of the empire half a year ago, and soon after he left, the casino was taken over by another group of forces, and it began to be cold because of the questioning of fairness.
But almost a week or so ago, the original controller returned, took reins of the Good Luck Casino, and launched a lavish bet giveaway, and for a while, the casino was buzzing again.
The carriage stopped under one of the countless marbles more than a meter thick on the front of the Good Luck Casino, and Luo Songxi stepped out of the carriage and said to the pirate behind him, "This is it." ”
Da Lol Laudrup glanced at the majestic casino and glanced at Luo Songxi suspiciously.
Luo Songxi bowed his head slightly and said, "The thing was given to the owner of this casino, his name is Ivan." ”
Da Lore groaned slightly, and said, "Take me to him, and don't alarm anyone else." ”
Luo Songxi walked silently into the door of the casino.
Inside and outside the gate, it seems that there are two worlds.
Outside the door is the quiet and breezy midsummer of Gilles, and as soon as you walk in, you will be greeted by a noise of excitement, nervousness, anticipation, desperation, and other mixed emotions, as if you are in a hysterical world.
Only Luo Songxi silently led the five pirates to the depths of the casino, as if they were out of step with the surrounding environment.
Inside the casino, the coolness brought by the ice magic auxiliary circle is slowly sent out of countless pipes by the breeze technique, so that the place is still the most pleasant temperature in the hot summer. But sweat still poured from the tip of Luo Songxi's nose and forehead.
On his left hand side is a roulette table, a tired man with glasses is smoking a cigarette, he looks like he doesn't know how long he has been sitting there, and in his hand is a thick pile of record paper, not only carefully recording the number of points opened in each game, but even counting the distribution of points in dozens of rounds on the roulette wheel, odd and even, red and black, size, and odd and even appearances. Obviously a calculator who thinks he can figure out the rules of gambling.
When Luo Songxi walked by, he finally made a move, betting heavily on the range of 1 to 12, betting on red, even numbers, and finally a series of single small numbers.
He was a calm gambler, when the roulette wheel turned, he just clenched his fist silently and stretched his neck, and his calm drove the gamblers at the same table, everyone was silent, and stretched their necks together, like many ducks, pinched by invisible hands, and lifted upward.
Luo Songxi's gaze swept to the rotating roulette wheel, there was a small column on the side of the roulette wheel, and the column vibrated at a high speed at a frequency that could not be seen by the naked eye, forming a high-frequency sound field that enveloped the entire gaming table, which was the mental power jammer.
Luo Songxi didn't dare to use a wisp of spiritual power to test the strength of this jammer, he was afraid that as soon as he moved, Da Luoer behind him would notice it, and he could only communicate silently with 77 in his heart.
"Can such a jammer block Da Lore's mental power?"
"Can't calculate. 77 replied.
The roulette wheel finally finished spinning, and the ball landed in the groove of "0", and it was killed.
The man with glasses retracted his neck and silently jotted down a "0" on the paper.
There is no calculation at the table, only luck.
Perhaps it was this kill that made Luo Songxi change his goal, and he continued to walk forward.
This is already the heart of the casino lobby.
Larger gaming tables spread across the entire field of vision, illuminated by crystal elemental lamps. Here, there is no distinction between day and night.
Two crimson chips fluttered lightly on the green flannel table of the table, and 2 dinars, which were the minimum bets on the most common baccarat table in the hall, could buy 20 salted chicken rice, 50 bread or 100 egg tarts in Gilles, but now it stood out in the stack of black 10 dinars and gray 20 dinars stacked on the table.
The dealer raised his hands and stroked above the table, signaling the gambler to buy and leave, and a middle-aged man with gray hair and a dark face hesitated for a moment, and viciously stacked a stack of gray chips on the banker's position.
Baccarat is a gambling method invented by the great writer Caster Lin more than 1,000 years ago. Although I don't know why the great writer went to study gambling back then, baccarat, with simple rules and a simple atmosphere, has become the most common gambling method in casinos on the human continent.
This table is one of the hottest tables in the hall at the moment, before the dealer has opened more than 10 long leisure, the winner wins ruthlessly, the loser loses fiercely, the gamblers who enter the state will make a loud cheer or angry scolding every round, the hot atmosphere has attracted more and more people to join, the table has been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the people in the back row can only stretch out a hand to come in with difficulty to bet.
The middle-aged female dealer wiped out four cards from the card box, two in the player and two in the banker, and then threw the player card to a large man with his shirt open - he bet on the player to bet the biggest bet on the player, so he opened the player's card - he rolled up the corner to see the card points, and then threw the cards on the table heavily, and said softly, 8 points, this is already a huge point, the banker can only win if he opens 9 points.
The dealer pushes the dealer's cards in front of the gray hair.
Behind this table is the casino's huge stage, on which tall beauties in bikinis are pole dancing, but at this moment, no one pays attention to these girls, even the guests who had been admiring the dance have turned their heads to see the results of this table.
The roaring music on the stage was even drowned out by the cries of gamblers in unison, and countless voices were drawn to point to the cards that were about to be unveiled in the hands of the gray hair: "9 o'clock - 9 o'clock - 9 o'clock - " Some people were bruised, some people were flushed, a man had a cigarette butt in his hand that had burned his fingers but he didn't even notice it, and a woman whose shoulder strap almost slipped to her elbow but no one was looking, all eyes were on the card that had not been revealed.
Only Luo Songxi's gaze fell on a pillar on the table. The baccarat table is much larger than the roulette table, and the jammer is much thicker. But Luo Songxi still had no way to determine whether this jammer could save his life.
But he was almost at the end of the hall, and what was left for him was no longer to choose, only a showdown.
The gray-haired cards were finally unfolded, the first being a king of squares and the second being a 9 of clubs.
9 o'clock, really 9 o'clock. After thirteen rounds in a row, the dealer finally opened a game to win.
The gray-haired palm slammed down on the table, and then desperately loosened his tie. The smoker snuffed out the cigarette butt that burned to his fingers, and he bet that the player was the loser, and the suspender girl screamed and cheered, and she bet that the dealer was the winner, and then she realized that she was gone, and hurriedly pulled the sling. The big man stood up indignantly and threw out a long list of greetings to the dealer's mother
。 The atmosphere around the table was once again completely ignited at this moment.
At this moment, even the pirate leader Dalor Laudrup, who had always been in the trenches, couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere, turned his head and looked at the result of the showdown at that table.
But when he turned around again, Luo Songxi was gone.
