In a smoky chess and card room, there were only a dozen people standing in a space large enough to accommodate thirty or forty people.

The transparent floor-to-ceiling wall curtain encloses the round platform in the middle of the third-floor gambling hall into a quiet space, and the people outside the transparent wall curtain cannot see it, and the scene of people coming and going outside looks like a walking pantomime inside the wall curtain.

The needles in the wall can be heard, more than ten breaths are long and steady, and all the attention is focused on the gambling card game on both sides of the green long table in the middle, only the face of the dealer in the middle is like a stone sculpture for thousands of years, silently glanced at the current cards on both sides, and said in a tone without ups and downs:

"Black Queen plus Double-Flower Knight, Mr. Andre has priority, do you want to raise?"

"Plus."

The young black-haired mage sitting at the left end of the long table, dressed in a blue robe, said without hesitation.

As he spoke, he pushed out a stack of weights stacked in front of him, and the crystal weights inlaid with gold threads fell down with a bang.

The dealer calmly swept the chips into the circle with a long ruler, "Mr. Galileo? ”

"I'll follow!"

The hookah gun tapped on the edge of the gambling table, and the strange man opposite the blue-robed mage suddenly puffed out a puff of fruit-scented white smoke, and snapped his fingers with his right hand.

The delicate girl in his arms, who was lightly clothed and almost only covered her breasts and hips, smiled knowingly, stretched out her delicate white hand, and pushed down the two neatly stacked gold-inlaid crystals in front of him.

Saleen sat at the table on Andrew's side, glanced at the cards on the table, and leisurely picked up the blackberry wine in front of him and drank it down. Behind him, the maid who was standing a dozen paces away stepped forward with a slight swing of her waist, and as she put away her glass, her fingers seemed to inadvertently run over the back of the young mage's hand.

Salin raised his eyes to look at the red-dressed maid in front of him.

Her light silk close-fitting long skirt wrapped her lower body naked, outlining only her slender and graceful legs, but her upper body only wore a bright red bust that covered her front chest, and her slender waist and large snow-white back were exposed in his sight.

The maid in the red dress looked as cold as frost, as if the brief ambiguous contact was just an accident, and she didn't even give Salin a look. After putting away the wine glass, he turned away without nostalgia, leaving only a graceful and graceful back for the young male mage.

Salin looked at the slowly swaying back, his eyes fell on the black hair like ebony, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

The maid in the red dress carried the tray and walked towards the bar against the glass wall.

A waiter behind Winnie, who had been following Andre and the others since they got on the boat, took advantage of the lack of attention, silently moved two steps back to approach the bar, as if to check whether the wine glass was clean, and raised it to look, her lips moved slightly, and the voice as thin as a gnat came into the ears of the maid in red:

"Liya, don't say I don't remind you...... Although His Excellency Saleen was the guest of honor in the luxury cabin, he was the leader of their group. is a young female mage. ”

The whispered words made the maid in the red dress pause, and casually picked up the poured wine and returned to the table, without a trace of superfluous movement when the wine glass was placed.

Saleen didn't pay attention to the maid in the red dress at this time. He picked up the glass and put it to his lips but didn't drink it, staring at the hand that had reached the opening stage.

All the cards in front of Andrei have been turned over: the Black Queen, the White Mage, and the Three Knights.

The strange man on the opposite side, known as Galileo, let go of the girl in his arms and was playing the last card. "White Pope, just a little higher than your deck!

- I'm sorry, but I'm a little luckier than you! ”

The cards landed on the table, and the four cards that were opened made up of the White Pope, the Black Deacon, and the Three Priests, with the main card just slightly higher than Andrew's Black Queen.

"White Pope, Black Butler. The Three Priests are great, and Mr. Galileo wins. ”

As he spoke, the dealer stretched out his ruler and swept all the chips in the center circle to the strange man.

The strange man looked at Andre with a smile. The excessively magnificent face was bewitching for a while, almost comparing the girl in his arms.

"It's okay, I've earned enough anyway, in case you lose too much, it's not good if you don't even have the money to go back."

Andrei hugged his chest. Pick out the largest face value from the large pile of chips in front of him, and throw it into the pile of weights that he just won—

"You're rewarded. When the road fare is good. ”

In a word, the chips that Galileo had just won were also included in the "bounty" range, and the demonic man was so angry that his face turned black, and he forgot to put the hookah in his hand into his mouth.

The atmosphere was condensed, and no one was silent in the chess and card room.

The dealer is not surprised, all this kind of private game of gambling, usually such a tense situation, but this time the two sides are a little bigger, are luxury cabin VIPs, otherwise it would not be his turn to sit in the gold medal banker.

But this time, the gambling sides he met were interesting.

It's not that their identity is tricky, or how high the gambling skills are, these two parties actually didn't use any special means and thousands of skills, only relying on mental arithmetic ability and observation of words and colors, this kind of pure skill and psychological dark war in the eyes of the dealer, is not without a considerable place.

It's just that although the two sides are incompatible, they seem to understand each other's psychology very well, and they have their own chances of winning in the gambling game, and the balance of chips on both sides flows over and over, holding each other, of course, the amount of chips is larger, although it is not the top ten hosted by the dealer, but it has also made him have some heartbeat.

"Two guests, do you want to move on to the next round?"

The convention asked, but the dealer got a different response this time, the strange man dropped the cigarette gun, and pushed the girl in his arms to stand up, "Don't play!" Gambling and gambling are gone! ”

Both sides are mages, even if they have a deep holiday, they can't shake their inertial reason, and it is almost impossible to have a liquidation, and as long as the chips are not exhausted, there is still a chance to turn the tables around.

The tail of the demonic man's raised eyes looked at Andre coldly, "Do you dare to get off the dueling platform?" ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Galileo, the dueling table of the 'Strings of the Gods' allows guests to take the stage on their own, and the victory or defeat is at their own risk, but the two guests are not the original holders of the invitation, and the 'Strings of the Gods' cannot undertake the duel between the two without the consent of the original holder."

The dealer, who had remained silent about the bickering between the two sides, suddenly spoke up.

Andrei was originally a little confused, he was found by Galileo shortly after he arrived at the third floor of the gambling hall, and it was not clear what the dueling table was, but if he knew the dealer of the cards, he already knew the role of the dueling table, no wonder Galileo would ask for the end when the game was down. He wanted to use this to force himself to accept a duel.

Andrei is not afraid of a duel, he has just taken a turn in the gambling hall, and he already knows that there is an unspoken rule at the gambling table that the winner is not allowed to leave the table, because the winner takes advantage of this behavior is obviously quite despicable, and Galileo, as a loser, is qualified to propose a new bet, of course, it depends on the winner if he disagrees.

The duel is still a relatively fair bet, with Andrei's character will generally not refuse, even if he knows that Galileo is scheming, he will not show weakness, but since the dealer has a ready-made excuse, Andrei will not insist on stepping on a trap that is obviously prepared by the other party.

So he shrugged and stood up. As if helplessly, he spread his hands and sneered at Galileo:

"Duel or something, I remember someone who was already my underdog. You lose with your hands and brains - boring! Originally, it didn't matter if I played with you, but the organizer didn't agree, and I couldn't help it! ”

He pushed the chips in front of him, which were slightly higher than they were at the beginning, and motioned for Winnie to pack up, "Count it." Lest there be another person who does not admit that he is a loser! ”

Galileo's face turned blue.

He and Andre belong to two different hermit lineages, and the two lineages are in contact with each other due to the relationship between the original founders, and they can be called friendly, but there is also internal competition with each other.

He and Andre are not far apart in age and have similar identities. The talents are similar, and they have been compared with each other since childhood.

He was two years older than Andre, and when he was young, he was because of his age. He has won Andre more times. Later, as he grew older, the two sides gradually won and lost, until the last time he suffered a big loss from Andre in the Tower of Babel, and was seriously injured by Andre's hot hand and had to quit the Tower of Babel, and even lost the opportunity to climb the second floor. Let the once-in-a-millennium opportunity be wasted in his hands.

Although he did not comprehend reincarnation in the end, he still managed to advance within two years. But this time when he saw Andre, he found that the other party had also been promoted, which was equivalent to another loss due to his age, so he couldn't swallow this breath even more, especially when Andre repeatedly mentioned his failure in the Tower of Babel.

Winnie had already counted the chips at this time, and was reporting to Andre, "A total of sixty crystal chips and thirty-seven platinum chips, a total of 637,000 gold rego, does Your Excellency Andre want to redeem huàn?" ”

Rao is Galileo is wealthy, and his face can't help twitching at this time, Andrei was also a little surprised, but after seeing Galileo's face, he smiled, squinting his crooked amber eyes and smiling happily.

A crystal code represents 10,000 gold regos, and platinum chips are 1,000.

Andre and Galileo's gambling game is not small, almost all the net worth of the two of them is pressed up, if it is not for the fact that both of them are guests in the luxury cabin, they can withdraw a certain amount of chips with the invitation, I am afraid that they will have to take out their treasures at the bottom of the box for pledge.

When the funds are exchanged for chips, the number of chips is not much, but the amount is very high, the crystal chips and platinum chips are made exquisitely, and the slightly larger crystal chips are only the size of a palm, piled together, and you can't see anything by looking at the number alone.

The two sides each prepared 500,000 chips at the beginning, and now it seems that Andre has only a little more chips than Galileo's, so Galileo feels that even if he loses, he does not lose much, even if the number is slightly inferior, he still ends the game and asks for a duel.

But after counting the number of wins and losses, it is equivalent to Andrei winning 137,000 gold rego from Galileo, and this part of the output can still be filled with Galileo's net worth, but it is undoubtedly bleeding.

But Andre was still angry and said: "Is the money enough?" If it's not enough, remember to say it, I didn't bring anything else, but the money was too much! ”

Galileo's face turned pale with anger, but he knew that staying here would only make him laugh.

The organizers have made it clear that the rules are the invitees to the bronzing invitations, and even the backstage behind the organizers feel troublesome, and their invitations are often their close relatives and friends, even if it is explained in advance that life and death on the dueling table have nothing to do with others, but those big people will not necessarily pay attention to these regulations, they only know that people are in trouble here, and they will be angry with the organizers if they can't give an explanation.

This kind of regulation is related to the foothold and sustainable development of the auction, otherwise who will come to an auction that has been suppressed by big people in three days, Galileo can't let them change it, even if he miscalculates, he can only blame him for not figuring out the rules in advance,

In fact, Andrei didn't bring much money, they came to do the task. It is Lin An and Salin who have the money on him, and what Salin has on him is the mission funds, and it is impossible to move, if Andre really loses a lot, I am afraid that he will have to borrow from Lin An with a mortgage.

But now the losing side is Galileo, Andre is happy to stay and watch Galileo's good show, Salin on the side patted his robe and stood up, and pulled Andre, "Let's go, let's go back to dinner." I'm afraid Master Lin has been waiting for a long time. ”

The voice fell and then the voice was heard, "Shiryl seems to be impatient. ”

Andre glanced sideways at his sister and immediately asked Winnie to take the chips and leave.

Winnie asks if she wants to redeem her chips. Andre thought for a moment and said: "We still have to participate in the auction tomorrow night, the crystal code will be stored here first, the odd head of the seven thousand platinum chips will have a share, you will divide it equally." ”

The waiters and maids present thanked one after another, and the dealer also put away the cards. Bow to him.

This lively and joyful atmosphere made Galileo, the loser, even more ugly, and he snorted, threw off the maid beside him, and strode out.

The maid hurriedly asked someone to clean up the remaining chips on the table, and hurriedly chased after her skirt.

……

Meanwhile. In a dimly lit cabin on a cruise ship.

Kress sat lazily on a crimson soft-backed sofa in a semicircle.

In front of him, the energy center under a huge crystal screen covered with magic patterns was transmitting energy upwards, and thirty-two different real-time images flashed on the crystal screen, and a huge picture in the middle that occupied two-thirds of the game clearly reflected the gamble between Andre and Galileo just now. The silky string-like energy filaments under the crystal screen vibrate from time to time, clearly transforming the dialogue in the picture.

Kress watched the maid chasing Galileo away, stared at the three Andreas who were still in place on the screen for a while, tilted his head on the back of the sofa, and leaned in.

"Duel...... It seems that the grudge between these two mages is not small! Kress closed his eyes. As if to say to himself, "Whose invitation did that Galileo come over?" Did you find it? ”

"It's the Fifth Prince." It wasn't until he spoke up that Lucaf revealed where he was.

"The Fifth Prince? How did he get here? ”

Kress was startled when he heard this, opened his eyes suddenly, sat up straight and meditated, "This Andre is a person from the roof of the Black Dragon, so it is very likely that this Galileo is also a hidden inheritance?" Could it be that there are people who are the Tower of Dolan? Didn't you say that Yorkiadan fell out with the Tower of Dolan some time ago? ”

"It is not yet possible to determine the identity of this Galileo. However, this kind of division and integration is nothing more than driven by interests, and this kind of thing is always very common. Lucafe replied.

"You're right."

The corners of Kress's mouth curled up and rejuvenated, and the rapid change in his expression made his expression look gloomy as he looked at the crystal screen, "Since that's the case, then we must facilitate their duel." ”

Whoever dies on both sides is happy to see it, and relatively speaking, he prefers that it will be the Galileo.

He thought for a moment and laughed, "Send someone to remind that maid that the guests she serves need a dueling venue, isn't there one on Paradise Island?" ”

Lukaff's brow furrowed in the dark: With "that" in the background, the young master's movements are really getting bigger and bigger.

He was noncommittal about Kress's decision, and only reminded: "Young master, we have been in for a long time, and if we continue to stay, I am afraid that we will be discovered by the master." ”

As one of the backstage of this auction, the opposite city mainly noticed his son's abnormal behavior, and with a little inquiry, I am afraid it is not difficult to find out the purpose of his private use of this monitoring room - what this young master did in private, but most of it was hidden from the city lord himself.

Kress heard Lucaf mention his father, his face changed, "The old man is worried about the left and the right, obviously he is doing things for the royal family, and there are a few such big backers behind him, but he doesn't know how to use the rules, and he makes a good underground auction no different from other auctions, my paradise island has only taken two or three years, and the funds for trading have exceeded his business for more than ten years." ”

"The city mainly knows that you are on the line with 'that one', and you also run Paradise Island for him, I am afraid that you will directly break your leg and throw it back to the territory for people to be locked up."

Lukaff thought silently, but did not make a sound, and quietly watched as Kress quickly stood up, pulled out the magic crystal from the energy source groove of the monitoring center, and left the monitoring room.

……

Galileo strode into the cabin with a sigh of rage, and the door slammed against the wall as it was thrown open.

The huge movement did not frighten the male mage who was sitting outside the suite reading a book. He leaned back on the couch. His right hand supported his forehead, and his left hand turned the pages on his knees from time to time, and the simple movements made people unconsciously feel his nobility, until Galileo stared at him for ten minutes before the young man's eyes were removed from the pages.

"What's wrong? Lost the bet? He didn't ask Galileo, who was obviously angry, and moved his gaze to the maid who came in later, although it was only a bland gaze, the authority contained in it made the maid feel pressure.

The maid snorted and glanced at Galileo.

"If you lose, make up for it on my account." The blue-eyed youth frowned. I don't care.

Galileo's face was expressionless and calm, and he suddenly said, "Get out!" ”

The maid shuddered. Immediately retreated, and after closing the door, Galileo burst out, "Did you already know the rules of the organizers!" ”

"Of course, if you're missing a part of your body here. How can I explain it to your teacher. The young man raised an eyebrow and said.

"Ya! Every! Cloth! I've had enough of you! Ever since Joshua's death, you've been such a weird ghost! After all, I'm never as good as that dead man in your mind! ”

Galileo blurted out his words, regretting it at first, but seeing Jacob's sudden change in face, that regret disappeared without a trace. Only jealousy gnawed at his heart—

"Give me the invitation!"

Before Jacob could react, one of his mages had already grabbed the invitation on the table in front of Jacob, and turned around to leave.

"It's useless. Your little friend is holding an invitation from Master Robinho. ”

Jacob knew from the beginning that the duel planned by Galileo would not be able to fight, so he did not follow, "If you want to kill him, if you have the opportunity, you can send someone to do it." Why take the risk yourself. ”

The Black Dragon's Roof was another hermit that was not inferior to the Tower of Doran, though he couldn't win them over. But he didn't want to offend openly, if Galileo hated that Andrei to the bone, he would directly send someone to attack him secretly.

When Galileo heard this, he immediately stopped.

"Who made you nosy! You are not allowed to do it privately, he can only die at my hands!" He pointed to Jacob and admonished, and then went out with a bang.

Jacob watched him go out, exhaled heavily in his chest, and sat down.

"Your Highness, our people are ready, and they will be able to do it when they go ashore." A voice came from the corner, but no one was there.

"Forget it, the kid is just vindictive!" Jacob's face was gloomy, his eyes flashed with complexity and anger, and then disappeared for a moment, "It's not easy to repair the relationship with the Tower of Doran, don't make any extraneous branches now." ”

"Yes."

……

Outside the cabin, Galileo strode forward, and the maid trotted up with her skirt to follow, "Your Excellency Galileo, what are you going to do with the invitation?" ”

Galileo turned his head sharply, "Why, even you, a little maid, want to stop me?" ”

The maid hurriedly stopped and quickly knelt down, "Triss doesn't dare!" ”

When she saw someone coming, she was relieved.

"This guest, what happened, did this maid make you angry?"

A waiter in a black vest and white shirt walked over, and unlike the ordinary young waiter, he was older and had a calm temperament, with three more silver-black strips on the sleeves of his shirt, and a dark blue dress on his hand, as if he was about to change his clothes to go to the ball.

"Vice Captain Yorkett!" As soon as the maid Triss saw the other party, she immediately exclaimed respectfully.

The co-captain was also a man of status on the ship, and on the scale of the "strings of the gods", he might even have a title of nobility.

Galileo couldn't help but look at the other party a little, and he was a little puzzled about what the other party was wearing, but there were not many people who could go to the top, and he didn't think anyone dared to pretend to be the deputy captain on the ship.

He was just about to go to the ship's principal, and now he happened to meet him, and when he saw the other party's inquiry, he motioned for Trith to tell the story.

Lieutenant Captain York laughed when he understood the general situation.

"The auctioneer does have this rule, the 'Strings of the Gods' is a temporary loan to the auctioneer, and we can't influence their decision, so I'm sorry that we can't satisfy you...... But—"

Galileo was already impatient, but when he heard the turn, he asked, "But what?" ”

"At the bottom know that there is a place that should meet your requirements."

Galileo was a little suspicious when he heard this, and thought that it seemed too much of a coincidence, but he listened to the deputy captain of Yoctut continue, "I don't know if you have heard of the place 'Paradise Island', which also happens to be the next destination of the 'Strings of the Gods'. ”

Galileo was relieved when he heard this, he had already heard about the events after this auction, and it had already been decided, not that the deputy captain had proposed it temporarily. It's just that before that, in order to keep the "Strings of the Gods" mysterious, Galileo didn't know the specific location.

He became interested and couldn't help asking, "Are you sure?" That 'paradise island' is said to be in Lake Onda, right? Where dare to accept such a request? ……”

"I can't disclose the specifics, but with the understanding below, I still have a certain degree of certainty......"

"...... so"

The voice of the words is getting farther and farther away.

After a few people left, a figure leaning on the side of the boat appeared, and his existence was natural, as if he had been staying there, but the Galileo people, who had just walked by, did not notice his existence at all.

The man looked at the scenery near the lake, raised the goblet in his hand, and took a sip of the colorless liquid inside.

"A child's game? …… Interesting. ”
