Chapter 86: Gambling

In the evening, Erwin came to the banquet as promised.

Xiao Yu took the three beauties, as well as Grom, and went to dinner with Erwin with a smile.

"Oh, honorable Duke Xiao, hello, this is a little gift I brought, not a tribute." Erwin took out some gifts and gave them to the three beauties.

Xiao Yu said very gentlemanly: "You are too polite, Shimlai's son." You have always been so hospitable, we were very happy not to go. Have fun tonight. ”

"Accompanied by the son of Xiao Zhantian, the first marshal of the empire, and three beauties, I will naturally enjoy myself." Irwin is the kind of guy who is always very good at talking.

In order to highlight the luxury, Xiao Yu also unceremoniously chartered a huge restaurant, all lit with candles, and the dim yellow light looked romantic and mysterious against the background of the surrounding glass.

After sitting down, Xiao Yu and Erwin began to be polite, and Osilia helped interject a few words from time to time, teasing and teasing this Erwin.

Osilia has never lacked the means to deal with the nobles who are full of lust. It not only makes the other party feel itchy, but also can't take advantage of it.

When he was halfway through eating and drinking, Xiao Yu suddenly wiped his mouth reservedly and said, "Third son, in fact, I have one thing that I have always wanted to say, but I am embarrassed to speak. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Erwin immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Duke Xiao is too polite, we are already friends, aren't we?" What is there that you can't say? ”

Xiao Yu looked at Grom, who was standing on the side loyally, and said, "You also know, I also have some orc guards, alas, they, any point is good, but they like to fight too bravely." No, when I was in the Colosseum today, I saw those orcs show their majesty and defeat two second-order demonic beasts, so they couldn't sit still, and they had to go to the Colosseum to show their skills. I'm afraid this matter is going to trouble the third son. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Erwin seemed to be a little surprised, and then laughed and said: "So that's the case, it's a trivial matter, since Duke Xiao's orc guards also want to show their skills, then I will definitely help arrange it." I don't know, what kind of opponent does your orc guard want to fight? Are they the orcs who are making a big show today? ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "They are also orcs, and they say that it is not good to kill with their own clan, so they want to find some powerful demonic beasts, or powerful human fighters to fight." ”

Hearing this, Erwin nodded, and said: "The orc race is indeed very united, which is much stronger than us humans, and those orcs we captured would rather be killed than kill each other." Look at us humans, who are still fighting each other everywhere, alas...... Since this is the case, then I will arrange it at that time, and it will definitely let the audience see a wonderful game, and at the same time, it will not hurt Your Excellency's orc guards, showing the glory of Duke Xiao. ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately said with a happy face: "That's it, that's really thankful." Then again, Third Prince, where did you get these orc slaves from? ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Erwin smiled slightly, and said, "These orc slaves of mine were all captured by the Adventure Guild in the southern Orel Mountains. It is said that this year, because of the weather, whether it is magical beasts, orcs, or elves in the Orel Mountains, they are not doing well, so many of them have migrated to the periphery of the mountain range, and they are easy to be caught. ”

"Oh, I see." Xiao Yu nodded, remembering this Oleer Mountain Range, "If I have time, I will also go and join in the fun, see if I can get some more orcs and elves or something back, all the orcs and elves in my Ankola Mountains have been brought back by me, no, alas...... What I admire the most is the style of the ancient aristocracy, orc guards, elf slaves, tsk, that's the real aristocracy, so I haven't done anything else as a lord all these years, so I have nothing to do every day in the Ankola Mountains to find orcs, elves, dwarves or something. I had a dream of building an army of orcs, elves, and dwarves. It's fascinating to think about. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Erwin's eyes flashed, and then he said without a trace: "Duke Xiao's idea, I'm afraid it is also the idea of many people, who doesn't dream of having such an army, every race fights for itself, that is definitely the greatest glory." Even the greatest emperor in human history has never done it, at most there are some foreign guards. ”

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and said, "I know it's hard to do, but I still really want to get more orcs or something to fill up the faΓ§ade." When your lordship's adventure union will go to the Orel Mountains again, remember to call me, and I will also send someone to get a piece of the pie, I hope Master Erwin will not mind. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Erwin secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that you are also beating my idea, hum, this is easy to do." ”

At that moment, Erwin smiled very gentlemanly and said: "This is natural, Duke Xiao is strong, with Duke Xiao's help, he can naturally capture more orcs and elves." I am also very willing to cooperate with Duke Xiao. ”

Xiao Yu suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "That's great, by the way, how many orcs did you get this time?" Are there any elves? ”

Erwin showed a slight look of pride on his face, and said, "This time we actually captured a total of more than five hundred orc slaves, including many female orc slaves, but when it comes to the outside world, it is only more than two hundred. Duke Xiao is my own person, so I naturally don't need to hide it. As for the elves, we haven't found them. ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that there were so many orc slaves, and immediately his face immediately showed a look of envy, and he took a few sips of red wine, and said: "I really envy the son of Simlai, I can get so many orc slaves, and I don't have so many." I'd love to buy all of these orc slaves from Shimle, but I wonder if Shimle's would be willing to make a price? ”

When Erwin heard Xiao Yu say this, he immediately laughed and said, "Duke Xiao is laughing, how can we sell so many orc slaves?" My father really wants to train all of them as guards, and he can also be like what Duke Xiao just said, with the orcs guarding the side, showing the demeanor of the ancient nobles. In other words, I don't know what the secret of Duke Xiao is to train these orcs and elves? You can even make them follow you as a guard. If there's any trick to training, I'd be willing to pay a premium for it. ”

Xiao Yu listened to Erwin's words, and said secretly in his heart: "I took the bait for seven times." ”

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "This is indeed a secret, it is the secret of my Xiao family, my father used to search for orcs everywhere, so that he could use this training method, but unfortunately his fate is not good, and he has not found many orcs." Now I'm lucky, I finally found these orcs and elves to train as guards, so naturally I can't show people easily, forgive me, the third son. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Erwin was slightly startled, but his face seemed to be slightly disappointed, and said, "Oh, so that's the case, then I naturally don't want to be strong." ”

Erwin had already secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that he really has some special method, I said, now that the orcs and elves hate human beings to the core, how can they be willing to become guards." This time, we must not let this Xiao Yu leave Benghazi City, and we must get his hands on these methods of training orcs and elves. This is related to the great cause of my father's domination of the world in the future. ”

Xiao Yu looked at Erwin's appearance, and said secretly in his heart: "This guy seems to have a lot of plans, it's not easy for me to get out of here alive." It turns out that he has already hit me with his idea. He is not Wang Tianhu, Wang Tianhu still takes into account a trace of affection with Xiao Zhantian back then, and also takes into account the deterrence of Master Theodore, so he does not dare to act easily. But the strength of the Simlai family is much stronger than Wang Tianhu. Quietly kill me, they still dare to take risks. ”

On the surface, Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Actually, I have a way to give the third prince a chance to get my secret to training orcs, and also give me a chance to get the five hundred orc slaves of the third prince." ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Erwin raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? I don't know what Duke Xiao means by this? ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Maybe the third prince has heard that I like to gamble, I think that a real man must dare to gamble." So, I want to make a bet with the third son, if I win, all your orcs will be mine. If I lose, all my orcs will be yours, and I will tell you the secret trick of training these orcs, how about it? ”

When Erwin heard Xiao Yu say this, his heart suddenly moved slightly, but after a while, he said: "Hehe, Duke Xiao is very interested, but I don't know how Duke Xiao plans to gamble?" ”

Xiao Yu's eyebrows were twisted together, as if he was extremely embarrassed, and said: "I originally planned to let my orc guards fight with those magical beasts and human gladiators of yours, if I win your orcs, it will be mine, but now it seems that such a big bet is just such a casual gladiatorial fight, I feel that it is too hasty." ”

Erwin said in his heart: "Nonsense, naturally it's too hasty, your orc guards have won my gladiators, and you will win all my five hundred orc slaves." Where is there such a good thing, I have seen the combat power of the orcs today, the two second-order demonic beasts are not opponents, although I don't know how your orc guards are, but looking at this head, it is definitely not bad, where can I find a gladiator who can defeat your orc, if you send a demonic beast, it is completely out of your control. If I send a strong fighter, I guess you won't agree to it. ”

Erwin said very elegantly: "This is indeed a bit sloppy. Because of these 500 orc slaves, my father values them very much, and if I lose casually, I can't afford to afford them. ”

Xiao Yu nodded, pretended to rub his head, and said, "Yes, it's really difficult, but I really want to win these orc slaves." It's not as good as this, Third Prince, I heard that the Duchy of Karn has a group of specially trained hoplites, called the Death Scythe Infantry, they are all elites selected from all over the country, trained through secret methods, each of them has the strength of a first-order fighter, and some even reach the second-order fighter. This time, it is said that when the Duchy of Karn annexed the Lion's Camel Ridge, which did not respect the royal way, it only used 500 Reaper Scythe infantry to defeat the opponent's 5,000-strong army. Is there such a thing? ”

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Erwin showed a hint of pride on his face, and said: "This is true, that Lion Camel Ridge does not respect the royal way and does not pay tribute to the Heavenly Lion Dynasty, so it naturally has to be crusaded, otherwise, does this Heavenly Lion Dynasty still have a royal law?" Our Reaper Scythe infantry has a total of 1,000 people, and last time we only dispatched 500 people, we defeated the elite of the opponent's 5,000 people, so that the follow-up troops fled when they heard the news, this kind of record, no matter where it is, is absolutely rare. ”

Xiao Yu listened to Erwin's admiration for this Death Scythe Infantry, smiled slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, Your Excellency is so confident in this Death Scythe Infantry, why don't you let them fight with those five hundred orc slaves plus me and other orcs?" Let's see if the orcs are powerful, or if we humans are powerful in the hoplite formation. If the orcs win, even if I win, give me all those orc slaves, if the Death Scythe infantry wins, even if you win, we will tell you the secret of training the orcs, how about it? ”

Hearing Xiao Yu's suggestion, Erwin's heart jumped, playing like this, but it was too big. Once the fight starts, whether it is the orcs or the Death Scythe infantry, there will definitely be great losses. However, for the Death Scythe infantry, they have absolute confidence that there should be no problem in defeating those rabble orcs. Orcs can kill powerful beasts, but they can't defeat well-trained hoplites. At that time, if Xiao Yu really agreed to come up with the secret of training orcs, it would definitely be a great benefit. Orcs can be caught again when they die, but this method is very difficult to get.

"Hehe, Duke Xiao really dares to bet. But for the sake of a secret recipe for training orcs, let my Reaper Scythe infantry attack, in case there is a little loss, I can't explain it to my father. These orcs, we always have a way to adjust them slowly, and we don't necessarily have to use the hands of Duke Xiao. Erwin narrowed his eyes and didn't give a clear answer. In fact, he naturally knew in his heart that it would definitely not be so easy to figure out the method of training orcs by himself, and once Xiao Yu really agreed to give him this secret method, then he would take advantage of it, but he couldn't easily decide on such a big matter.

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and said, "The third prince still thinks that my bet is not big enough, otherwise, I would have gambled a long time ago." Since a training secret method is not enough, it is better to do this, you see how this dragon is, if you win, I will lose it to you. ”

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and gambled on Xiaolong.

Xiaolong suddenly raised his fist on the side, and protested for a while.

When Erwin heard Xiao Yu say this, his heart jumped again, and he still didn't give a clear answer. His gaze couldn't help but glance at Tyrande at this time.

Xiao Yu looked at Erwen, smiled, and said, "The third prince has taken a fancy to me, an elf guard, okay, I'll bet on her too." If you don't agree, I won't bet. However, there is one more condition for me to add this dragon and elven guard. ”

Erwin immediately said, "What conditions?" ”

Xiao Yu said lightly: "I have pressed my entire net worth, so when I am fighting, I require that me, Xiaolong, and my elf guards can also participate in the gladiatorial fight." ”

"What? Duke Xiao, you have to play in person, this is too child's play. Erwin said, but his eyes glanced at Tyrande again.

Xiao Yu said: "That's natural, I'm a gambler, either don't gamble, or gamble the most." What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? If you don't agree, forget it, I won't bet. ”

"I agree." Erwin blurted out.
