Chapter 46: The Tongue (II)
The ballroom fell silent again.
Little Yode, who had obviously won a complete victory, was not half happy at the moment, slumped on the chair with a cold sweat on his face, gasping for breath, and his eyes full of resentment were bloodshot.
The black-haired wizard sat there indifferently playing with his chips, his eyes narrowed into a slit, as if he was contemplating his next plan.
At the moment when he saw the hole cards of both sides, Loren finally figured out one thing.
I was too kind before... Or rather, too simple.
The wizards of the imperial capital of Golovin are inextricably linked with the large and small chambers of commerce in this casino, and the fact that the two sides have been able to get to this point is also the result of mutual support, and the status of wizards also needs the financial resources of the chamber of commerce to support.
So their initial plan was only to defeat Little Yode alone, and they didn't expect that they had already won 10 million in the dice roll, and they still chose to cooperate with the Yode Chamber of Commerce.
But in fact, it's just that I'm too stupid... Compared with a mere wizard advisor, of course, the Yode Chamber of Commerce, which owns most of the wealth in the south, is more powerful, and it is more advantageous to the Little Yode Alliance - and he is just a nameless wizard advisor, if it weren't for Brandon's cronies, it wouldn't even be worth their extra glance!
Expecting 10 million to make them change their minds, that's simply impossible!
“...... Trying to control a person with the ability to think independently... No matter how imbecile a creature or being, it is a very stupid and arrogant act......"
Lena de Salion is right, she is too stupid, too arrogant... The successive victories really made me treat them like paper people, supporting characters in them, thinking that only a few small victories would make them see the situation clearly.
I completely forgot that these people will also see benefits in their eyes, and they will judge the situation according to the good or bad of the situation, just like themselves... Living, stupid creatures that think prejudicedly.
Since they are still obsessed, I have no choice but to help them understand the situation.
"Two, that ......" The trembling old dealer spoke again, still with his head down, his expression even more nervous than the two of them: "Can you start the second round?"
"Let's get started. ”
Although the black-haired wizard only said softly, in the ears of the old dealer, it was tantamount to the low roar of the beast before devouring people, and Loren, who ignored him, raised an eyebrow at the other side:
"What do you think, little Yode... Do you dare to continue gambling with me?"
"Yes, what's not to dare?!"
This noble prince still bared his teeth and looked fierce, but in the eyes of the people around him, it was tantamount to stubble, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
At this moment, he was completely a gambler who was in a hurry to lose, and his demeanor, politeness, and hearty laughter were completely gone, only a pair of scarlet eyes.
It's really disappointing that the heir of the dignified Yode Chamber of Commerce was provoked by the other party so easily... There are also many discerning people who know very well that in the same situation, not many guys can support it.
First lost 10 million on the most sure roll of the dice, and then was repeatedly intimidated by the black-haired wizard in the first game - the ability to hold on until now without complete hysteria is enough to prove the level of cultivation of this little Yode.
"Then the second round begins. ”
At the moment of opening, all eyes were on the two in the center of the stage again, staring at the black-haired wizard Little Yod, his cheeks twitching and red.
At this moment, almost no one noticed that the trembling old dealer had secretly shuffled the cards once.
In the second round, Loren's face card was a white two, and Jode's little Yode was a red five...... Good fortune still seems to haunt the heir of the Yod Chamber of Commerce.
But only Loren knows it... His hole card is a black ten, but Xiao Yode is a black seven, barely winning back a city.
White two plus black ten, red five plus black seven... Twelve for twelve, it's just a tie.
The key to victory or defeat is in the third card!
The black-haired wizard's gaze shrank slightly, and his right hand holding down the card was even sweating... You have to get to the third card, and you have to get Yod Jr. to raise with him to have a chance of winning.
So... Do you want to cheat him like you just did?
No... Although he is already a little messy, the same dang will never go a second time... If his plan was seen through by him, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would be wasted.
"What, Viscount Loren doesn't plan to continue to ask for cards and force me again?" Little Yode, whose eyes were blood-red, suddenly "joked", but his smile was a little hideous:
"Such a panicked look is not your style at all!"
"The cards are too small, and of course I don't have confidence. Loren had a formulaic smile on his face, and his right hand kept tapping his hole cards:
"Looks like you've had a good run of luck this round, Lord Yod. ”
"It's over, Viscount Loren, you're not the right person to say if you just won 10 million on a big gamble. ”
Although it was only a small movement, little Yod almost immediately noticed the unnatural right hand of the black-haired wizard, and he was immediately ecstatic in the bottom of his heart!
Really... He's still very small in this hand, and Clermont didn't lie to me!
"No, quite the opposite... That's why I say that because I've won 10 million. ”
The black-haired wizard sighed flatly, revealing a very tired and helpless expression: "This is just a suggestion, Your Excellency Little Yode, tonight's 'big gamble' ......"
"How about a draw?"
"Huh?"
Little Yod was suddenly stunned, and looked at the black-haired wizard with an indifferent face in some surprise.
"If you don't agree, I can play it another way. Loren shrugged lazily:
"Now I still have about 10 million chips in my hand, and if I abstain in the next round, I will eventually lose about 5.5 million and drag it out until the end of the game. ”
"So... I can give you the 5.5 million chips now? So you win the second hand of the card game and half of the chips, and I have enough money to pay off Miss Lena's debts and the first round of dice, a 'big gamble'... We were tied. ”
Hearing this explanation, little Yode's expression became a little subtle.
Not only him, but even the guests in the audience began to talk about the strange scene at the gaming table - although the black-haired wizard had just lost a game, the bets he had won were still as high as 8.5 million, plus his own 500,000 chips and 9 million silver coins, far from the time to admit defeat!
Don't... What did he find?
The eyes in the audience were fixed on the black-haired wizard's cheeks with an indifferent smile, trying to get an answer from the face of this calm guy.
Wrong... This guy is still the same as just now, he is deliberately deceiving little Yode!
The expressionless Lena de Salion's delicate body shook slightly, and the red pupils under the black-framed eyes suddenly showed a trace of excitement, excited as if she had seen the most exciting part of the play, and even her limbs were trembling violently.
He must have caught some very crucial handle, and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail little Yod and drive him to a dead end!
Is... It's so exciting, it's so exciting... It's the right thing to bet on this guy yourself!
Invisible intrigues, tricks hidden under the table, inner battles, plus a little bit of luck......
That's what gambling is all about!
"Is it ......" little Yode, whose eyes were bloodshot, sneered, "What if I don't agree?"
"Don't say it so absolutely, you'll agree. The black-haired wizard's expression was extremely confident:
"By the way, may I ask how much gold is stored in the imperial capital by the Yode Chamber of Commerce?"
"Huh?" Little Yod looked up vigilantly, "Why do you ask this?"
"Even if it is such a large chamber of commerce, if it suddenly encounters a temporary run... I guess we're going to be in a hurry, right?" Loren still smiled indifferently:
"Compared to this kind of trouble... Don't you think my proposal is too good for you?"
"What the hell are you talking about... Huh?!"
The voice stopped abruptly, and little Yode's expression was completely frozen on his face, only his eyes were still trembling!
In the center of Loren's covered palm, there is a small dice!
"Little Yode, you'd better figure out what you're going to say. Loren's expression completely cooled:
"I'll give you one last chance......"
