Chapter 41: The Gamble (I)
Little Yode's smile froze completely, and his right hand holding the chips was shaking.
But in the next second, he laughed out loud very heartily: "Hehehahahaha... It's worthy of the Broken Mountain Fortress coming back, and the wizards who were favored by His Royal Highness Brandon are different from those who conjure tricks!"
The corners of the black-haired wizard's mouth also showed a slight smile, but the bottom of his heart was inexplicably confused by the other party......'s words;
"The first round begins, both sides please be ready. β
The old dealer threw three dice into the bowl, and the black cups kept flying up and down on the table, and in the dead silence of the banquet hall, all the guests held their breath and could only hear the crisp sound of the dice hitting back and forth in the cup.
During the whole process, Loren stared intently at the little Yode opposite... In his previous life, he had heard that there were many gambling masters who could distinguish accurate numbers by the sound of the collision between the dice and the dice cup when shaking the dice.
Of course, this kind of master is usually mixed up in Hong Kong and Las Vegas movies......
And the little Yode in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of listening to the dice at all, and even brought someone a glass of punch and a plate of strawberry cake from behind, looking relaxed.
The "bangββ!" dice cup was heavily slammed on the table by the old dealer.
"In the first round, please start betting! ten, nine, eight, seven......"
The old dealer began to count down, and the black-haired wizard frowned slightly, hesitated for a long time, and then placed the chips on three, seven, eight, ten, and eighteen, a total of numbers.
Lena, who was standing behind him, gently pushed down the glasses on her face, and immediately understood Loren's tactics.
Since you can only bet on a maximum of five numbers at a time according to the rules of the game, you can guess the size of the points, and you can increase the probability of winning by focusing on betting.
Eighteen, just to prevent accidents ... What if the final result is six-six-six?
But there was no relief on the black-haired wizard's face, because the little yode in front of him hadn't even made a bet, and he didn't even have the heart to look at the table......
"Four, three, two, one!" The old dealer showed a somewhat helpless expression: "Young Master Yode, if you don't bet again, this round will be counted as your abstention, and Viscount Loren will win directly." β
"Well, is that so?"
With a laid-back face, Little Yode took a sip of punch, then put the cut cake into his mouth with a fork, and stacked all the chips very casually:
"500,000 silver coins, all bet... Belch... Eighteen is good!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the black-haired wizard who was frowning with a smile, and waved his hand lazily: "Don't be so serious, Lord Loren... You see, you've made the atmosphere a little tense in what was supposed to be a fun game!"
"It's about the outcome of a million bets, and it's just an ordinary person. The frowning black-haired wizard barely managed to squeeze out a smile:
"I can't do that... To the point of being able to be completely honored and disgraced. β
Little Yod snorted and took another sip of punch.
"Then open!" the expressionless old dealer opened the dice cup, and the three dice were impressive!
"One, one, five! A total of seven points, Lord Loren Turin bets 100,000 and wins!"
"Don't be so troublesome, if you lose, you lose, I will abstain in this game!" Little Yode waved his hand impatiently, and directly pushed all his chips in front of the black-haired wizard, and snapped his fingers at President Clermont behind him:
"That's... Help me get two million more chips, and then I'm going to play for a while, hehehahahaha......!"
Little Yod laughed heartily and played with the chips sent by President Clermont: "How is it, Viscount Loren, now that you have a million chips, can you have some fun?"
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning... The unlucky guy who gambled with me last time but he played until he reached 10 million before he got down, you can't even compare to a broken nobleman, right? hahahahahaha......hahahaha
In the dead banquet hall, only the "hearty" laughter of little Yood can be heard.
An expressionless Lena de Salion suddenly twitched her throat, and the little joy she had at the brunette wizard's victory in the first game was gone.
In an instant, Xiao Yode, who looked big and arrogant and had the temperament of a proud and noble son, turned into an incomparably fierce beast in her eyes, and was opening her fanged blood basin to bite her own flesh!
The attitude of indifference, the endless supply of chips, the dice cup that depends entirely on luck......
Even if you win one, two, or even ten rounds, it will only increase your chips, and make the opponent in a mortal situation of losing everything at once and anytime!
Even a person who is confident in himself does not dare to guarantee that he will win every time in this situation of complete luck, and it doesn't matter how much the opponent loses!
That's his tactics, that's the key to Yode's confidence!
With this step-by-step way of beating the opponent into a desperate situation, finally... Win without a fight!
On the stage, the black-haired wizard who was stared at by countless lights and eyes was still with his fingers crossed, and there was still no superfluous expression on his frowning face.
Obviously knew very well that the big gamble was just the beginning, and knew that this guy was not an ordinary person at all, but by the time Lena realized it, her hands were already clenched tightly and trembling.
Myself... Worried about this guy?
"In the second round, please start betting! ten, nine, eight, seven......"
The black-haired wizard still didn't move, his eyes fixed on the dice cup, and his crossed fingers gradually clenched into fists, and if you looked closely, you could see that the backs of his hands were already showing green tendons.
The corners of Yode's eyes flashed as he drank punch, and the smile on his face became more and more hideous, and he ate and wiped the strawberry cake on the plate one by one.
"What's the matter, Viscount Loren, why don't you place a bet, we're all waiting for you to place your bet. Little Yode, who raised the corners of his mouth, looked at him indifferently:
"I don't care, even if I lose 500,000 yuan, it won't hurt, but Viscount Loren... It's different, isn't it? Miss Lena de Salion behind you is still waiting for you to win two million in life-saving money!"
"In a place like this, it's really... Is that okay?"
"You can't bear to see Miss Lena de Salion stripped of her title, confiscated from her property, cornered by her creditors, and fled on the streets......"
"And all of this is all thanks to you?!"
Looking at the black-haired wizard who was still unmoved, Little Yod, who couldn't bear it, got up and shouted directly, and his sharp voice continued to echo in the dead hall.
At that moment, it was unusually quiet.
"Little, little Yode...... old dealer's face was full of fear, and he turned his head tremblingly, and his voice sounded like he was trembling: "You, are you ......?"
"Huh?!"
Little Yod, who had a cold look, glared at him viciously, only to realize that almost everyone in the banquet hall was looking at him, and his gaze did not seem to be very friendly......
"Hehe... Hehehe... Heha......ha
The hearty laughter broke the embarrassment of that moment just now, and Xiao Yode, who had a bright smile on his face, waved his hand again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just a little impatient... After all, it's not like a noble-born nobleman in the imperial capital like you, he's just a countryman from Baienlai, hahahahaha......"
"Oh, by the way, I'm very sorry Miss Lena, what I just said is all a joke, you must not take it seriously!" He did not forget to bow to the "black-rimmed glasses":
"If I can express my apologies, the Yode Chamber of Commerce is willing to take on all your debts and interest, and I hope to ease the fire in your heart a little. β
Lena de Salion shrugged, as if she didn't care, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency Yod, but I don't need your help anymore. β
Use... Don't need it?
The stunned little Yode suddenly raised his head, but saw that the frightened old dealer was still staring at him:
"Three, six, six! total, a total of ten or fifteen points, His Excellency Loren Turin bets one, one million, ββ! win"
Looking at the stacked chips on the table, Xiao Yode suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and there was no trace of a smile on his calm face:
"President Clermont... Please prepare it for me again... Well, 10 million chips!"
