Chapter 34: My Luck Is Good (Part II)
"Your Excellency Loren Turin, this is your chip, a total of two thousand silver coins at ten to ten, please keep it. β
The grimacing dealer held the tray in both hands and poured ten red gold chips in front of the black-haired wizard, and there was a wave of astonishment around the table, and many of the guys wiped their eyes desperately and shouted after confirming that they were correct.
"Holy Cross, it's really thirteen, how can it be thirteen?!"
"Loren Turin... It sounds like a southerner, a newcomer, right?"
"I've heard of this guy, it seems that he is a wizard advisor appointed by His Highness Brandon, and he has also been to the Broken Mountain Fortress......"
"I guess so, look at the guy next to him... It seems to be Miss Lena de Salion......"
The stunned guests whispered and looked at each other, and many gamblers deliberately leaned in to show their affection, but they were afraid of the "black-rimmed glasses" that always "snuggled" up to Loren's side.
And looking at the smug black-haired wizard, Lena didn't have a good face - of course she knew that Loren was completely random just now, and there was no skill to speak of:
"What's there to be proud of, this is the largest gold cave in the imperial capital, and there are many people who can win a million at the poker table. β
"That's right, like I said, I was lucky. Loren smiled meaningfully, his dark gaze passing around:
"As I can say now, I'm going to keep winning the next game. β
The girl ignored the smug fellow, turning her head and muttering something to the point where the black-haired wizard didn't hear it, but could vaguely guess that it was "shit luck" or something......
While the two were still chatting, the second round of the game had already begun, and the surrounding guests were starting to get excited, and many of them were even waiting for the black-haired wizard to place a bet - if they couldn't bet with him, at least they could get lucky, and even if they couldn't hit the numbers, guessing black and white correctly was a one-to-one winning rate.
At a table where there is only one winner, everyone is an opponent, and the odds of winning by pressing numbers are only 1 in 40, and even if you bet on black and white with a seemingly half chance of winning, the odds of winning will be greatly reduced by the increase in the number of players.
Winner takes all, dealer makes a sure win, that's the core of roulette.
10, 9, 8...... Everyone counted down in their hearts, and even Lena couldn't help but look at the black-haired wizard, waiting for the moment when he would make a move.
What Lena just said is not easy, there are not a few people who have become rich overnight in this casino, and there are not a few people who have won millions of fortunes, but in addition to luck, it is more about strength.
Superb hearing, exquisite technique, excellent memory, strong visual ......
Maybe this guy is confident that he looks like this, maybe it's not just luck?
...... As I can say now, I'm going to continue to win the next game... Recalling what he had just said, Lena remembered that this guy was not only a wizard, but also a powerful spellcaster.
Don't......
"So, ...... next" The black-haired wizard put an entire stack of red gold chips on the betting board with a formulaic smile on his face:
"I'll bet twenty, still the thirteenth!"
Twenty chips, that is... Two thousand silver coins?!
The moment Loren put it down, the dealer who sat in the bank obviously changed his eyes, and his look of surprise was revealed!
The surrounding guests were in an uproar, and in an instant, their eyes that were still a little in awe immediately turned into looking at fools, and the people who were originally going to bet with him also left.
No matter how stupid they are, no one would believe that two rounds of roulette would draw the same number... No matter how lucky you are, this probability of almost a few in a thousand is really too low.
For a while, the gamblers who had gathered around the black-haired wizard dispersed, leaving only the skinny "black-rimmed glasses" still standing beside him.
"I really didn't expect ......" Lina, who was expressionless, glanced slightly:
"Obviously calm and calm, nine out of ten appearance, but he is also a gambler. β
"Where, where, you have won the prize. The smiling black-haired wizard propped his elbows on the table and crossed his fingers: "But on the contrary, what I hate the most is accidents, and I won't do it easily without absolute certainty." β
Looking at his confident expression, the "black-rimmed glasses" shrugged his shoulders with a soft snort.
The black-haired wizard with his hands crossed stared at the dealer intently, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker.
In the dark sight, the tense face of the dealer stared at the small oak ball that was constantly jumping on the roulette wheel, even his breathing became short, and the hands holding the table were trembling violently.
Are you nervous, or are you afraid?
There are forty numbers on the roulette wheel, and the probability of guessing the same one twice is much lower than one in a thousand, so what is there for him to be nervous about?
Indeed, as Lena said, thousands of fortunes are all gathered on that jumping ball, and it is impossible to stop guessing that it is ten times the windfall profit......
"Five chips, like Lord Loren Turin, bet thirteen!"
A very young voice walked over and sat directly next to the black-haired wizard, and a trace of consternation flashed in Loren's eyes as he looked back: "Are you?"
"We've met, Lord Loren Turin, but you may have forgotten. The young man in a fancy costume smiled and stretched out his right hand:
"The last time you visited, I was leaving, and allow me to apologize to you. β
Earl Charn?
The black-haired wizard who suddenly realized that he still had a formulaic smile on his face, bowed slightly to the young man, and the other party was also very polite, bowing to the "black-rimmed glasses" standing aside:
"It is an honour to see you again, Miss Lena de Salion. The young Earl Charn smiled, "I didn't expect to meet you here, but sure enough, the Holy Cross is protecting me." β
"The Gospel of the Holy Cross will not bless usurers. Lina, who was numb, snorted softly:
"Especially the Charn family, who eat people and don't spit out bones, you are already lucky that you have not been punished by God. β
Hearing this answer, Earl Charn only smiled helplessly, and shook his head again and again: "What you said is that I was too abrupt. β
The dark-haired wizard sitting next to him smiled and didn't say a word.
The young count, who seemed to be very polite, also had a loan shark of 150,000 in his hand - more accurately, of course, the "former" Earl Charn, and Siscott Charn was holding the money.
Siscot Charn wanted to use the loan shark and pay off all the debts for Lina to marry the de Salion family into the Charn's family.
This is the fundamental reason why Lena de Salion knows the truth about Siscott's death and at the same time qualifies as a witness!
What is the reason why the other party came over at this time?
Could it be ......
"Bell ββ!"
The roulette wheel stopped, the oak ball stopped bouncing, and came to a steady stop where it should be.
A pair of eyes, staring dumbfounded, at the motionless roulette wheel and the oak ball.
Loren, who had regained his composure, also showed an indifferent smile.
Really... I guessed it myself!
"Ben, this round is over!" The dealer who was propped up on the table with his hands was covered with cold sweat, desperately restraining his trembling body: "No. 13 bet, one to ten, all, all winsββ!!!!"
"How is that possible?!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the corners of Lena's eyes, who were originally expressionless, while Earl Charne, who was sitting on the side, looked meaningfully at the smiling black-haired wizard.
Loren was still smiling: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm lucky." β
The deflated dealer lay at the table panting as if he had done his best, and the crowd around him was even more noisy, looking at each other in amazement, staring at the oak ball that had landed in hole thirteen.
He took the chips worth 20,000 silver coins from the dealer's hand, and the young Earl Charn on the side also stood up: "There are so few things to play in the ground hall, Your Excellency Loren Turin, and Miss Leah, are you two interested in going up to the next place?"
"And, IMHO ... If you keep winning like this, someone is probably going to be upset. β
With that, the young earl glanced upstairs, and the dark-haired wizard shrugged and raised an eyebrow at him:
"Absolutely. β
