Chapter 26: Crazy Gambling
A small pile of glittering crystal cards piled up in front of Aretha.
Aretha was so preoccupied with the game that she didn't notice when Arthur and Joan were standing behind her.
"You're done with your business, let's go. Aretha got up and left.
"Don't worry, Shi Niang had a good time today, why don't you start playing yet? ”
When Arthur appeared, the gamblers in the audience were speculating about the relationship between the two, and when Arthur opened his mouth to call his wife, everyone was amused by this strange relationship.
"You can play too?" Aretha looked at Arthur with a puzzled look, she didn't think Arthur had time to gamble.
Arthur smiled, "I played for two months on the way to find my teacher. ”
Arthur sat down next to Aretha and motioned for the dealer to convert all the crystal cards on the table into chips, which amounted to 43,000 gold coins. Compared with Aretha, Arthur is a real tyrant, not to mention the large profits made from trading with orcs, and the A-level mission remuneration just delivered in the mercenary union is 100,000 gold coins.
Arthur gave Aretha 20,000 chips and joined the game.
Aretha found that Arthur's card style was fiercer than that of the thin man opposite her, or rather "Biao". Arthur must follow every game, and the game will be opened to increase the bet to the upper limit of 1,000 gold coins, and what is even more annoying is that he did not win a game, and lost nearly 10,000 chips in a while, and Aretha even doubted that he would be able to play?
The other gamblers at the table were very excited, and the bearded mercenary in front of him was a fat sheep!
After a few more rounds, Arthur had half of his chips left, and he threw the cards in his hand and said something that almost made Aretha angry.
"Master, it's too small to play here, it's really boring, let's go up to the third-floor VIP room to play, right?"
"Forget it, we've been playing for a long time today, so let's go back. Aretha thought Arthur was just looking for an excuse to get out of the game.
Who knew that Arthur invited several gamblers in the gambling game: "Did you accompany us upstairs to play?"
"Since this mercenary brother is interested in playing bigger, then I have no choice but to accompany him. The thin man said with a smile. He had already seen that Arthur would not play at all, and of course he would not let go of such a good chance to win.
He was not the only one with the same thoughts at the gambling table, and another slightly chubby middle-aged man said, "If Mr. Loer continues to play, I will follow." ”
The middle-aged man was dressed as a businessman, and he was obviously familiar with this thin man named Lore.
"Lore, son of Summererd, deputy commander of the City Guard. Joan whispered in Arthur's ear, he had heard his name before he had never met Lore.
Another gray-haired old man at the table also expressed his willingness to continue playing on the third floor.
The remaining two people at the table have no intention of continuing to play, after all, the entry point of the three-tier gambling game is 20,000 gold coins, and most of the games do not have a betting limit, if it is not for the top aristocratic rich people really do not have the courage to sit on the three-tier table.
There are only a few huge enclosed private rooms on the third floor of the casino, which are extremely luxuriously decorated, and equipped with special dealers and waitresses, all kinds of games and various needs of gamblers can be met in the private rooms.
"Do you need me to redeem chips for the VIPs?" the dealerie asked the guests before the cards were opened.
"One hundred thousand gold coins. Arthur directly took out a small square box from the space bracelet, and inside was a neatly stacked crystal card, which was the reward for this A-level mission.
Lore and the others stared at Arthur in surprise, guessing the identity of this mercenary, even if he was the leader of an A-level mercenary group, it was difficult for him to easily take out 100,000 gold coins.
With Arthur in front, the others also exchanged chips of thirty or forty thousand gold coins.
The game started again, and Aretha, a casino veteran, was a little nervous, she had never played such a big game before, and each hand was won or lost by thousands of gold coins.
Arthur is still playing the same way as downstairs, calling indiscriminately and throwing money. Fortunately, perhaps because of the change of place and luck, Arthur's gambling luck began to improve, and he didn't lose much money after winning two big handfuls.
After winning two hands, Arthur began to chatter, intentionally or unintentionally stimulating Lohr, thinking that the opponent's bet was too small.
Lore was angry, glanced at the cards in his hand, directly raised 10,000 gold coins, and then looked at Arthur with a defiant gaze.
Arthur happily folded directly, "It's too small, I won't play with you." ”
The corners of Lore's mouth curled up, and he smiled slightly mockingly, "Don't you dare to follow?"
"I'll be with you to the end. Arthur said unconvinced.
The second Arthur followed only one bet before discarding again, looking down and not daring to look at Lore.
After the third hand was dealt four cards, Lore raised 10,000 gold coins again and deliberately stimulated Arthur with words, "If you don't have that strength, don't talk so much nonsense." ”
Veteran gamblers knew that Lore must have a lot of cards in his hand in this game, and his purpose in stimulating Arthur was to get him to call.
"I'm still afraid that you won't succeed, the head of this regiment is a lot of money!" Arthur gritted his teeth and followed the chips of 10,000 gold coins.
The gray-haired old man also silently followed 10,000 gold coins.
The fifth card was dealt, and Lore directly raised to 20,000 gold coins, but muttered in a low voice, "Who knows if he is really rich or deliberately pretending to be big?"
"Today, I will let you see the true strength of this captain!" Arthur also hated and pushed out the 20,000 chips in front of him.
The gray-haired old man looked at Lore, at Arthur, then at the cards in his hand, and with a sigh he threw them away.
Lore threw the cards on the table, "Orc straight flush." ”
Arthur smiled as soon as the card lit up: "Orcs are not as powerful as our Terrans, Terrans have a straight flush, and I, who am led by an eleventh-level general, is just a little older than your tenth-level orc heroes." ”
This Arthur won nearly 50,000 gold coins on the table.
A few rounds later, a similar scene played out again, as Lore pushed all the chips in front of him, and the result of the opening was still slightly larger than Arthur.
Arthur began to tease Lore, "Have you lost all of them, are you still playing, do you want me to lend you some chips?"
Lore, who was in a hurry to lose, began to lose his mentality, and turned to the dealer and asked, "How many chips can I advance with you with my status?"
"The prince of Lore is our old guest, and he has an advance of 50,000 yuan. ”
"Then give me an advance of 50,000 chips. Lore's fire-breathing gaze stared at Arthur.
Arthur was smiling and waiting for Lore to go through the loan procedures with the dealer.
The 50,000 gold chips gave Lore confidence again, but his mentality had begun to be unbalanced, and after a few games, he pushed all the more than 40,000 chips in front of him.
Arthur directly pretended to fold the card, which made Lore ridiculed.
Arthur didn't dare to fight with Lore for a few rounds in a row, and because Lore didn't win the money, the anger in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
After a few rounds, Arthur finally followed up with the final bet, and Lore pushed all the chips in front of him again.
Arthur smiled and pushed his chips up, "This time I'll let you know how you died?"
