Chapter 313: A life-changing gamble
When the ruffian elf Rodley returned to the Colosseum, he already had five more bulging money bags in his arms, and his heavy appearance suddenly attracted the attention of some people around him, and his greedy eyes focused on him.
But at this moment, several guards in uniform armor appeared nearby, and their sharp eyes swept over everyone like falcons, as if they intended to warn everyone to be smart and not to cause trouble here, while their eyes were more focused on the ruffian elf Rodley, because he was the source of the riot.
But for a casino, the most important thing is such lucky people, and even more exaggerated things than this situation, they have all witnessed it, so after simply calming down the rioting crowd with a vigilant gaze, they will stand back in their positions and perform their duties again.
Holding five heavy money bags back to the elf girl Elida, the ruffian elf Rodley kicked the elf Monica excitedly, and then he raised his chin at the lizard lying on the Colosseum with his feet facing the sky, and then tilted his head, signaling the two people around him to keep up with his pace.
Shaking up to the dealer's side, the ruffian elf Rodley slammed one of the bags of gold coins in front of him, and raised his chin at the lizard that pretended to be out of breath and in little air, and asked very arrogantly.
"Hey, that dying lizard, I want it, you can make a price! After all, it made me so much gold!"
As he spoke, the ruffian elf Rodley shook the bags of gold coins he was holding in his chest vigorously, listening to the crisp collision sound coming from them, the corners of his mouth involuntarily grinned, and the expression on his face was no different from that of the outburst.
In the face of Rodley, who was extremely arrogant, the dealer in the tuxedo just looked up at his words, and there was not much expression on his face, after all, working in this environment, the former's behavior was just a small scene, and he had seen even more unimaginable things.
So the eyes of the dealer in the tuxedo, but more stayed on the four-legged lizard, for the latter he has 100% of the right to deal with it, but after the shocking performance just now, he was not sure for a while, how to deal with this lizard, after all, judging from its performance just now, its level is not low, in case this slightly higher level of the monster is sold as a low-level monster and is discovered by the casino, the consequences are not good.
But just as the dealer was thinking about what to do with the lizard, the ruffian elf Rodley, who was standing on the side, urged again.
"Do you sell it or not? When it dies, you sell it to me, and I won't buy it!"
"Please wait a moment!" Although dissatisfied with the tone of the former's speech, the dealer, who had been trained in strict etiquette, nodded to him with a smile, and then waved his hand to the waiter standing by the cage to go and check it.
But the attendant who was pointed at by him glanced at the former reluctantly, and then slowly moved to the four-legged lying in the sky, because the work of checking whether the demonic beasts participating in the gladiatorial fight are still alive is a very dangerous thing, and sometimes the violent blow of the demonic beasts before they die is enough to kill them, so no one wants to approach these poor ghosts who are not dying.
He casually poked the four-legged lizard with his fingers, only to provoke the latter to barely open his eyes, and then the waiter made a gesture of crossing his arms.
And after seeing the waiter make this action, the dealer in the tuxedo suddenly twitched the corner of his eyes, which is an action that indicates that the gladiatorial monster is about to die, if the lizard is dead now, then the deal will not be done, and he will not be able to draw any dividends from it.
Even so, the dealer in the tuxedo pretended to be calm and looked at the ruffian elf Rodley and spoke.
"A hundred gold coins, not a single one is missing!"
"Goodbye!"
But the dealer in the tuxedo didn't expect that when he said this condition, the other party didn't say a word, simply spit out these two words and turned away, as if at this price, there was really no idea of trading.
Seeing this scene, the dealer in the tuxedo hurriedly shouted to the ruffian elf Rodley who was leaving, and reopened the bid.
"Wait a minute, this gentleman, please wait a minute! How many gold coins do you have ready! It's too little, I'd rather it die, after all, this is a monster, not some messy beast!"
"Twenty gold coins! I won't give you one more!" Glancing at the four-legged lizard, the ruffian elf Rodley barely stretched out two fingers in front of it.
"No, it's too little! at least seventy!" said the tuxedo-clad dealer this time, the price of twenty gold coins was unacceptable.
"Impossible! Just twenty pieces, do you sell it? If you don't sell it, I'll leave!" But obviously, the ruffian elf Rodley didn't buy it, and he had been in human society for many years, so he naturally knew the mystery of bargaining, and obviously he was happy to do it.
"Forty-nine gold coins, or I'd rather it die!" glanced at the ruffian elf with a playful smile on his face, and the dealer in the tuxedo knew that he had met an opponent, this was not a simple elf at all, and he was a ruffian who had been in the society for many years!
So this time he gave the lowest price that he could bear in his heart, as long as the other party dared to bargain again, he would rather this lizard die than sell it at a lower price.
Just when the ruffian elf Rodley refused again, Monica, the elf who was suddenly standing on the side, reached out and pulled his sleeve, revealing a pair of pitiful big eyes under the wide hood.
As if succumbing to these poor eyes, the ruffian elf Rodley glanced hatefully at the tuxedo-clad dealer, and reluctantly counted out forty-nine gold coins from his purse and threw them on the table in front of him.
"Okay, okay! Even if you earn it, a half-dead lizard can sell for forty-nine gold coins, if it weren't for... Forget it!"
Obviously, the ruffian elf Rodley did not buy the so-called lowest price given by the dealer, but as soon as his eyelids were raised, he began to chatter and want to bargain, but somehow, the words he had just said suddenly changed his appearance, and he quickly counted out forty-nine gold coins, threw them to the former, and then grabbed the four-legged lizard, turned away, and left only the dealer in the tuxedo to look at his back blankly.
"Here you go, the lizard you want!"
As he spoke, the ruffian elf Rodley threw the lizard in his hand to the elf Monica, and wiped his hand stained with slime with disgust on the body of the bystander quietly.
hurriedly caught the lizard that was thrown by it, but the elf Monica carefully wiped the mucus on the lizard's body with her sleeve, held it in front of her and looked at it carefully, and then made a grimace at the ruffian elf Rodley dissatisfied, but it provoked the elf girl Elida to touch it lovingly.
The two of them followed closely behind the ruffian elf Rodley, although they didn't know what the latter wanted to do next, but here, they could only let it go, after all, they were the first to come into contact with this kind of place, and everything here was so strange and new to them.
After the previous few fights, they also wanted to know what interesting things would happen next, new things always made people can't stop the temptation in their hearts, and the theory that curiosity kills cats also applies to elves.
Sophia Casino has a place on this famous street of the continent, and naturally has its own advantages, a wide variety of gambling games are only suitable for those in the middle and lower ranks and the unpopular rich, the real rich participate in the gambling game, each of which is enough to make a family rise or fall, and even decide some extremely important events.
In view of the peculiarities of the coming tomorrow, the Sophia Casino made an exception to hold an unprecedented grand gamble, and it was even rumored that the ultimate winner of this gamble would gain the right to control the country.
Although the rumors are exaggerated, they are extremely convincing, after all, the contestants in this gamble are all famous people, they are either from wealthy families, or from families, or from prestigious mercenary groups, or famous young heroes, so when the wooden sign with their name written on it is hung high on the white jade wall of Sophia Casino, it can cause a great sensation without any publicity.
Given that today is the time for the last bet of tomorrow's game, although it is only close to noon, the number of people gathered here is close to the carrying capacity of the casino, and even so, there are still many people rushing here.
That's because in tomorrow's gambling game, the name of the most eye-catching person among the princes, as of yesterday, was still blank, and he had not yet found a suitable candidate for the contest, which could not help but make people who had expectations for him wonder, is it really as rumored, this prince is going to give up this opportunity!
Just as people squeezed out fake smiles on their faces, asking the surrounding crowd about the current situation of the contestant they liked, or some unknown secrets, a waiter in a smart black tuxedo quietly appeared in everyone's sight with a tray in his hand, and when this person appeared, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on this person.
It wasn't because of how unusual or famous the waiter was, because of the tray he was holding, because there was a wooden sign on top of it, and the name on it was the focus of attention, but the palm-sized wooden sign was face up, and no one could see what was written on the other side.
The crowd pushed out to both sides like a tide, and very consciously made way for the waiter with the tray in his hand, and under the gaze of everyone, the well-trained waiter did not show any panic, but saw that he walked gracefully with aristocratic steps, not slowly, not in a hurry, unhurriedly, through the road specially made for him, and stopped in front of the white jade wall.
"Hey, Barry, guess which prince recommended it this time?" a voice suddenly came from the nervous crowd.
"Shut up, don't talk!" but the man known as Barry scolded the other party unceremoniously, and he didn't dare to look at the waiter's movements.
The former's words immediately attracted bursts of angry eyes from the people around him, and in the eyes of everyone who were so angry that they could kill people, the former smiled brightly, did not say a word, and also watched the waiter's every move.
In the eyes of everyone, the waiter picked up the wooden sign on the tray with both hands, walked slowly to the white wall, took the pole that was resting aside with one hand, and hung the wooden sign on it with a quick movement, and then held it high and walked slowly along the wall.
At this moment, the hall was extremely silent, only the heavy breathing of the crowd proved that there were still people here, and with the steps of the attendants, the crowd twisted their stiff necks at the same time, and their eyes were fixed on them, for fear of missing a single thing.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps!
Holding a wooden sign aloft and skimming over the names of the princes, he finally stopped at the position of the first person, and under the name of this prince, there was a blank, he was the great prince Kratos Bajin Romanov, known as the undefeated god of war.
The moment the wooden sign was hung on the wall, the whole hall suddenly boiled.
"It turned out to be the eldest prince!"
"I knew that the eldest prince would definitely find the right person!"
"Haha, it's not in vain that I've waited for so many days, and the eldest prince has finally made a move!"
"Hey, hey, so do I! I've been waiting for so many days, and it's finally time to show me what kind of amazing person this adult has recruited!"
"Krezer Sherlock, who is this man?"
"Krizer Sherlock? Haven't heard of this, where did this guy come from?"
"Hey, any of you have ever heard of that name?"
"Nope!"
"I don't know!"
"It's miserable! It's miserable! Why did the prince find a guy who has no fame at all, how should I bet! Who will help me!"
"Help you, get out of the way, I don't know how to bet yet! I didn't expect the eldest prince to find such an unknown guy, or rather, this guy named Krazer is really extraordinary!"
"Hmm!haha! It must be like this, yes! I know that the eldest prince will not find an unknown person, goodbye to you, I am going to bet, the odds of one to one hundred are enough for me to spend the second half of my life in style!"
The hall, which had been so silent that only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard, suddenly became like a lively market at the moment when the wooden sign was hung on the wall, and everyone asked the people around them what the owner of the name on the wooden sign was.
However, almost no one knows anything about the name on the wooden plaque, and some people even maliciously speculate that the owner of the name is a man or a woman.
It was in this noisy atmosphere that three figures in black cloaks appeared in the crowd, and when the leader broke through the crowd and squeezed in front of the wall with wooden signs, he stopped and muttered to himself in a tone full of memories.
"I didn't expect this kid to be qualified to participate in such a thing, it's really surprising!"
