Chapter 317: Gambling for Your Life
Since the same method cannot be played twice, in the past two days, Leffy and Barrett have been much more honest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Fortunately, although Joshua was reluctant to take in Leyphy, everything was well prepared.
Barrett put forward a lot of conditions, and the guards did them all.
He even did it for the caged birds to catch insects.
Watching Chirp jump around and dismember the body of a dying spider, Erie's face turned a little pale.
"It, it's not poisoned, is it?" Erie watched as the fist-sized spider had no ability to resist in front of Jiu Jiu, which was not as big as it, and since Jiu Jiu couldn't eat this big dick, he had been trying to break it up into several small pieces suitable for swallowing.
"O food chain! This gadget is born to be the nemesis of these insects, but it's a pity that the tweet can't grow up, otherwise this is a good tonic. "Barrett was in the special forces training camp in his early years, but there was a military dog who had always been a falcon.
At that time, the livers of animals were used by him to feed his two partners, in order to increase nutrition and blood.
After a while, when the gadget had his fill, he slipped back into his cage and squatted down on a cushion made of gold velvet and pretended to sleep.
Lyphy came out with a glass of fresh vegetables.
"Here, here's lunch." The two girls are naturally good for this thing, but Barrett obviously has some vegetables on his face.
"Well, can we not feed the rabbits? If you keep doing this, I'm going to starve to death first. "For an old man, it has been vegetables and fruits for two days in a row, and he is sick to his stomach when he sees turnips now.
"That's right, this is the staple food of the Nala people, and besides, it won't grow meat and is healthier." Riffey reached out and touched a few grapes, the crystal clear green grapes like jasper-carved beads in the sun.
"This is a very high-grade fruit, and it is said to have been imported from your western star region." Deftly peeling off the skin with a silver skewer, she arranged the grapes one by one into a pattern.
"Senior can't save my life, I need wine and meat urgently......" Barrett muttered weakly.
However, Eli can understand Barrett, although she is also a woman, but Article 7 of the officer's manual clearly stipulates that you must ensure a day's caloric intake to maintain normal combat effectiveness.
Poking the grapes with a silver skewer and stuffing them into his mouth, Leffy said helplessly: "Early the day after tomorrow, the visiting fleet will arrive here, and then there will naturally be a time for you to eat and drink." ”
What Lai Fei said was naturally the welcome reception of the Nala people, and it was naturally necessary to have a meal at that time.
In particular, Barrett is not a follower of Theloen, but one of the real heads of the visiting delegation.
“……………… I'm afraid I won't live to that time. Feeling in his pocket, Barrett found that not only was there no good mouth, but there was no cigarette.
"Why don't I get some game!" Barrett suggested that at least a few squirrel sparrows in the woods below would be fine.
"Excuse me! If you get it back, I'm afraid there will be more and more things to serve in this room. During this time of getting along, Leyphy found that Erie had no resistance to these cute things at all.
Just a tweet has become her baby bump, and if she gets a few more back, it will be none other than him who is unlucky in the end.
Just when someone was about to go out of their bodies, Felena came.
Glancing at Barrett, who was lying there dying, Felena asked worriedly, "Is she sick?" Do you want to see a doctor? ”
Raify waved her hand and dragged her and Ily into the inner room.
Brought to the door casually, the three girls made it on the sofa, and Lei Fei said with a smile: "That guy is not very good at food, and it is awkward." ”
Poof, Felena laughed, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect this to have such a side, looking at the appearance of a strong and powerful man." ”
Relatively thin and thin, Barrett's size is overwhelmingly intimidating.
Burly and strong, and not the kind of stupid black coarse, it is simply a taboo in the hearts of Nala women.
In fact, what human beings can't get is the best truth, or aesthetic fatigue is also a good explanation.
Anyway, the conclusion is that in the Star Alliance, a man like Barrett is more attractive.
As for whether Leffy was hooked up with him like this, it's hard to say.
"Yes, yes, if you really see his true face, I guess you can annoy him to death." Lyphy has been a mother for him for many months, and she knows it very well.
"Really? I think you're having fun. Erie naturally chose to dismantle the stage, she casually revealed.
"Okay, don't keep pulling it on me, you're definitely not here to talk to me." Lyphy immediately chose to change the subject.
Felena smiled and said with a sad face, "Okay, then I'll get to the point." ”
"Actually, I wanted to ask that day, is there such a thing as a casino in the Southern Star Zone, or in Frost?" Felena hesitated, she didn't know if it was appropriate to call that place a casino.
Casino? Lyphy and Erie looked at each other, a little puzzled.
This kind of thing, while not very common in the Covenant, is nothing new.
As long as it is an individual, there is a desire, and gambling is the use of human greed.
The Nala people are human beings, and they have the same desires.
Seeing their expressions, Felena knew they were going to be wrong.
"It's not a small kind of casino, it's a very large one."
"Very large scale? How big is it? "Lyphy doesn't really understand these things, and people who do, are still playing dead outside.
"A neighborhood, or even half the size of a city district." Felena described it.
It's not uncommon to have a single neighborhood, even in Frost, but it's very rare to see a city that is half the size of a city.
The reason is simple, there are not so many areas that have been exploited by humans to do this kind of business, especially on very sparsely populated colonized moons.
For example, Farnet, which is about the size of the earth, has a population of less than 300 million, which can be said to go back to a very ancient era compared to the earth.
And the vast land has to go a long way to find a settlement, and even the population of the city of Farnet is less than fifteen million.
Pulling open the door, Leffy shouted at Barrett: "Don't talk about the slightest etiquette, there are guests still pretending to be dead there!" ”
Barrett struggled to prop himself up and promised, "Okay, I'll be right away." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed a radish and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, and said: "The rabbit is a very quiet animal, you should cherish it, and soon this animal will become extinct." ”
All at once, all three girls laughed.
Hearing what was going on, Barrett suddenly said, "Oh~ You're talking about the red light district." Yes, it's on almost every planet. Farnet, too. ”
This sentence made Ily Island, who had been in Fanette for a long time, dumbfounded.
"She's talking about half a city district." Riffey reminded.
"There are seven streets in Farnet itself dedicated to this kind of business, the meat business, gambling, alcoholism, and underground boxing." Barrett introduced, of course, no one would tell people of such identities and temperaments as Lyphy and Elise.
If it weren't for Frost's constitution, which strictly prohibits drug abuse, even to the point that the crime is only a capital offense, there would still be a drug field in this neighborhood.
Since these seven streets are scattered throughout the 45,000-square-kilometer city of Farnet, they are like seven pieces of a 10,000-piece puzzle that do not attract anyone's attention at all.
"Combined, that's more than half the size of your city." Barrett is not exaggerating at all, and the level of prosperity is not a class.
Farnet's urban area is eight times the size of Tillard.
Now it was the turn of the two girls to blush, and the reason for their blush was very simple, the whole street was done......... The ...... of the Leather and Meat Business
Finena, on the other hand, looked at the two girls who were blushing like apples stupidly, and asked puzzledly, "Leather and meat business?" Butchers are not a good business with us. ”
In fact, I don't blame her for being simple, in the eyes of the Nala people, doing that kind of business is simply against the gift of nature.
If caught, it was a lynching, so no Nala woman would dare to do such a thing.
No one else is needed, and the woman's own family alone will not let her live with shame.
In addition, Felena herself has been growing up in the Order, so it is normal that she does not understand these things.
Since she didn't understand, Barrett couldn't bear to pollute this pure little flower.
"Since you're talking about casinos, if there's anything out of the ordinary, tell me about it."
Felena nodded and said, "Actually, it's a gamble called mist. ”
"Specifically, it is to let you read a piece of information that contains seven keys, and if you find these seven keys, you can solve the puzzle."
Barrett was a little curious, it didn't seem to be a gamble, but more like a puzzle game.
"This kind of game is not in our own country, and it is not really gambling." Barrett shook his head.
"What if the price is magic or even life?" Felena understands that if there is no bet, then it is really a game, as Barrett said.
"............" Barrett's face darkened, this was not a gambling at all, in fact, it was just a one-sided cult murder.
"Has anyone cracked it?" If there is, and it does get a reward, then it can be considered gambling, but it is a gamble.
"I say there is, but I don't have the information in my hand." Felena was actually entrusted by someone, and when this kind of casino appeared in the territory of the Star Alliance, the relevant investigation was launched.
The Nala people are not stupid, of course they have to figure out why this thing is here, and what they are going to do.
But the uncomfortable thing is that there is always a force that prevents them from getting closer to the truth, so they thought of using the power of the Frosters to solve this matter.
"Then what do you mean......" Barrett asked tentatively, "let me check it for you?" ”
"No way!"
"It's too dangerous!"
Without waiting for Felena to answer, Lyphy and Ily immediately expressed their opinions.
For this kind of mysterious power-like gameplay, the two of them would rather believe it than believe it.
Because magic exists in reality, then magic that can be staked with life cannot be proved to be fake at all.
Gambling with your life? No kidding, even if someone dares to agree, the two girls will beat him until he changes his mind.
This is not a joke, his life is now more important than his own fears.
Although Felena is not familiar with the world, it does not mean that she is stupid, and immediately she understands what position Barrett holds in the hearts of her senior sister and the princess.
Hurriedly waving her hand, she explained, "I didn't think about letting you participate in this kind of gambling. ”
Seeing that the two girls were in a bit more stable, she continued: "I actually just want you to tell me what kind of tricks this kind of gambling has?" Or maybe what kind of methods did they use to make it impossible for people to crack. ”
Truth be told, no matter how difficult the puzzle is, no one will be able to solve it.
Do not doubt the power of greed, under which there is a solution to any riddle.
But until now, there has been no clear news that anyone has won a bet.
There are often rumors of this, but no one from the Inquisition Guards, even the Inquisitionists, has ever found any evidence or even obtained the true answer to the riddle.
"It's not like everyone is dead, is it?" Barrett remembered that Felena had just said that some people lost their magic powers, so don't these people who have lost their magic power have any useful information at all?
"That's the intriguing part, those who are alive, without exception, have lost their memories of that time, but gambling, and even entering a dream, are all really remembered."
"The only thing missing is the memory of the puzzle and the answer." Felena herself was a little confused, and these things couldn't even be explained by magic.
"The Inquisition Guard even used soul torture on some of the people in between, but even at the soul level, they don't have any memory of the puzzles and the answers." It's so hard to believe that it is impossible to imagine that it is possible to modify the power of the soul.
"............," Barrett thought, not understanding what kind of power it was, and who possessed it.
But he could see that this kind of power was very difficult to deal with, and even had ulterior motives.
"It's too dangerous! I think it's better to find a way to shut down this kind of casino. Instinctively, he sensed the smell of danger, and even that it was likely to cost the Nala dearly.
Shaking her head, Felena said something uncomfortable: "I can't do it, at least I can't do it with my boss." ”
If they could deal with that force, I'm afraid they would have chosen to eliminate these soul-fooling guys a long time ago.
".................." several people fell silent, difficult to do!
As outsiders, Barrett and Erie are afraid that there is not much they can do, but as a Nala, Leyphy can't show his head at all now.
Finena, on the other hand, struggled to cope with internal pressures.
There are difficult things to deal with within the Star Alliance, and even within the Cyrus Order!
"Thank you for your help, it's actually helped me a lot." Felena said gratefully.
"When the visiting fleet arrives, I will invite your Highness to a feast and visit our temple in the name of the ascetic group." With a deep bow and a gesture of gratitude to the human, Felena left.
The three of them glanced at each other, all with the same expression, alas............ I'm afraid this kind of thing can't help!
