Chapter Forty-Six: Seeing and Hearing the Beginnings
Las Ville.
A few hours later, Bai Xiao and Nami, who were riding in a carriage, arrived at the target city, and looked at the outline of the city from a distance, and found many towering watchtowers, and the people in charge of the towers were holding binoculars, crossing and paying close attention to the situation in the city.
On the way here, Bai Xiao wanted to collect more information about this royal city, but the result was unsatisfactory, and the information still stayed at the step that the royal city was a rich big city, and it was unknown what aspect it was reflected.
In fact, the city of Las Vera does not quite fit the rumors that people who come to the island do not enjoy any entertainment in Velasde, and the impression of the country is that it is boring, boring and poor.
No one specifically mentions Lasvi, and there is a timely one, which is more like conjecture.
Of course, this is also related to the limited information that Bai Xiao can gather, after all, it is only a remote kingdom in a remote sea, and not many people are interested in this country.
"Sir, according to the rules, I can only send you here."
The carriage stopped a hundred meters away from the city gate, and the coachman said apologetically.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Bai Xiao settled the tolls, took Nami out of the carriage, and walked to the city gate together, the city gate was guarded by several guards, these guards were wearing guns around their waists, and when they saw the carriage from afar, they were already looking at this side.
"Check."
As soon as Bai Xiao walked over, one of the guards spoke coldly and stylized.
"Check what?"
"Outsiders?"
"How?"
Bai Xiao smiled, and the guards still said coldly: "The royal city has the rules of the royal city, the city relies on casinos to operate, and anyone who plans to visit or settle down needs to prepare at least 10 million Baileys to be eligible to enter." ”
"What do you mean when you enter the city?"
"Suffice to speak, Lavis needs to stimulate spending, and you have to lose 10 million in the casino or win double Bailey to leave." The guard explained.
"I see."
Bai Xiao turned her head to look at Nami, and immediately realized that she took out a large stack of banknotes from a small hanging bag, these banknotes had a large face value, adding up to at least 20 million Bailey.
Aside from daily consumption, at least nearly 100 million Baileys have been stored in the vault of the Shadow.
"Here's your credentials."
After a little inspection, the guards handed Bai Xiao a pitch-black ball, about the size of a billiard ball, with the number '3' engraved on it.
"The ball has to be carried with you at all times, whether it is deliberately thrown away or lost, there will be serious consequences, plus the number on the black ball means that you need to enter any casino and participate in the bet within three days."
"No problem."
Accepting the black ball, Bai Xiao took Nami into the city, as long as he prepared 10 million Bailey, he could bring one person in and out, not to mention 20 million.
Walking into Las Ville, you can clearly feel that the streets here are very spacious, and with few pedestrians, it looks extremely empty.
As the guards said, Las Ville is a city that relies on casinos to operate, and not long after entering the city, Bai Xiao saw several casinos, and the appearance of the casinos looked golden and full of luxury.
There are a number of high-end sports cars parked on the streets, which cost a lot of money to ride, but they are nothing to the wealthy people of Lasvi.
Bai Xiao walked to one of the sports cars, and the window of the sports car rolled down, revealing a little white face with men's foundation: "You two, are you going to 'Lavis Casino'?" ”
"What, what's so special there?"
"The two of you are outsiders, it's the biggest casino in the whole of Las Sve, so it's the same name as the city, and if you want to make a lot of money, you can't go there."
"Just go there."
Bai Xiao opened the car door with interest, sports cars are still quite rare in the pirate world, however, this level of sports cars is quite common in the Golden Emperor's Golden City, where there are more advanced and more expensive models.
"Yes, sir, I'll be happy to help."
A smile appeared on the little white face, and he quickly started the sports car, which dragged out a trail of exhaust gas at great speed and disappeared at the end of the street.
Ten minutes later, the sports car stopped in front of a glittering casino.
After checking out and getting out of the car, Bai Xiao and Nami walked directly to the casino, and the doorman of the casino noticed the black ball in his hand and immediately took the initiative to help him open the door of the casino.
As soon as you enter the casino, you will be greeted by dazzling golden lights, and in the wide and cool hall, there are a large number of casino facilities, which include more than a dozen ways to play, and there are not too many people in the casino, but there are at least more than 200 people.
Bai Xiao observed the scene in the casino and found that many of the people who gambled here were pirates, and these pirates should not have known about the situation in Velas Germany in advance, otherwise they would not obediently pay the landing fee in order to land in a boring place.
Or, these pirates are being hunted down by enemies or navies, so they temporarily choose to take refuge on the island.
Bai Xiao looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find any familiar guys, and the ones who could be familiar to him were naturally well-known pirates with a bounty of more than 50 million, which were all the targets of his current hunting.
didn't find the ideal prey, Bai Xiao simply exchanged 10 million Bailey's chips, and after these chips were successfully exchanged, the numbers on the black ball disappeared, which meant that he was no longer urged to enter the casino.
The casino's redemption rules are that in exchange for 10 million chips, you must spend or win 20 million.
With the chips, Bai Xiao found a gambling table surrounded by more than a dozen people, the rules of the game on this table are very simple, after the dealer starts the button, there will be a 'black ball' rolled into the wheel from the pipe, and finally stays somewhere on the wheel, the content displayed on the wheel is the result of the game.
Based on this rule, gamblers make their bets, and the easiest way to place their bets is the 'black and white' bet, which has a total of 16 areas on the wheel, with 8 black and 8 white, but also the lowest odds.
It is easier to get rich overnight, but also the number bet, the number on the wheel is 1-16, bet on one of the numbers alone, the odds can be maximized.
The minimum bet amount for each game is 100,000 berry.
"You can practice."
Bai Xiao walked to the table, thinking of something in his heart, his eyes turned to the turntable, and began to urge the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing with all his strength, capturing the movement trajectory of the black ball.
At this time, although Bai Xiao has not yet mastered the domineering of seeing and hearing, he has captured the prototype of this kind of domineering several times, and the current environment can also try to see if it can further stimulate the sleeping domineering in his body.
The black ball quickly rolled down, and the landing point was not the number that Bai Xiao bet on.
Nami's eyes were fixed on the table, and she bit her lower lip to resist the feeling of heartache.
That's 100,000 Berry!
As the financial steward of the ship, Xiao Nami felt a little heavy breathing, especially when she saw Bai Xiao obsessing with number bets several times in a row and finally losing.
"Still can't do it."
Bai Xiao smiled indifferently, but quickly concentrated again, trying to stimulate the domineering color in his body with all his strength, and this time, a subtle and clear feeling vaguely appeared, and along with this strange feeling, the world seemed to turn into a solid color.
In the pure white world, a small black dot is spinning at high speed, and after gradually slowing down, it is about to land somewhere.
Bai Xiao, who was concentrating, suddenly took out all the chips and selected the number '6', Nami broke out in a cold sweat, wanting to persuade her captain, but she held back, and felt like she wanted to cry without tears.
But she ended up staring at the direction of the turntable with her eyes wide open, and under her gaze, the black ball finally fell into the '6' area.
"Wow——!!"
Nami's eyes first showed a touch of incredulity, and then she couldn't hide the ecstasy in her heart, and reflexively jumped up and hugged Bai Xiao.
"Captain, it's the 6th, it's really the 6th, we won!"
"Huhu, good luck."
There was a slight sense of fatigue in Bai Xiao's spirit, and the flash of inspiration just now undoubtedly further stimulated the domineering spirit in his body, and it should not be far from awakening.
