Chapter Seventy-Four: The Dark Horse
In the morning, the sun is shining, and the bustling city of Austin is in a bustling palace in the middle of the imperial capital.
"Morning, Xiaoxi, didn't you go to the academy today? How did you get here? "At the door, I met the nominal third brother who was going out to Austin Demon Martial Academy, the third prince Bowen.
"I'll take a look at Ciel." Tong Xi responded with a smile.
"She's fine, Xiaoxi, you should go back to the academy to practice early, right? Haven't you decided to play in the House League? On the field, you have to pay more attention to Xiaoxi! That's right, the third prince Bowen also won yesterday's eight-in-four competition of eight group qualifiers, and successfully determined the ranking of the top four, which means that the top four is equal to one of the six student representatives selected.
Six student representatives who represented Austin Demon Martial Arts Academy to participate in the Demon Martial Arts Academy League, one of the places was the first place in the Light Department Branch, that is, Tong Xi's battle game, and the four who have now been determined by the top four in the academy competition have won the remaining one, the competition is really fierce, including the four players who lost eight into four, and all the players who lost the game in front of them will have a big melee of a group of 100 people, and the last few people who win will pair up for a duel until there is only one person left.
On the other hand, the remaining games of the four who entered the semi-finals have not been as tragic as the "repechage".
Among the top four players of this year's year, except for this Prince Bowen, who is a seventh-level martial artist and originally belonged to the seeded players, the other three finalists are all dark horses!
This year's intramural representative competition is a dark horse competition!
The spectators don't know how many pairs of glasses have been broken, and it is estimated that those bookmakers who open gambling games will have to make money and count until they have cramps.
Except, of course, for one of the largest bookmakers, the largest casinos......
That is the official casino of the Adel Chamber of Commerce, the Adel Casino.
The Austin Magic Academy intramural tournament is a big event, although outsiders are not allowed to spectators, but it does not affect the major bookmakers to use this event to open a bet.
And the Adair Chamber of Commerce, as the largest and richest chamber of commerce on the mainland, will certainly not miss this series of competitions.
With the strength of the Yadale Chamber of Commerce's network, it is easy to get a detailed data of the contestants, and then the masters in the chamber of commerce analyze the winning rate of the contestants, and then open a multiplier.
When Vayne faced the seventh-level magician of the Fire Branch of the Magic Branch, the Adair Chamber of Commerce offered a multiplier of 1.5 to 1.5 for Vayne to win, and 0.5 to 0.5 for a seventh-level magician to win.
This can actually reflect from the side how low the victory rate of a sixth-level martial artist against a seventh-level mage is.
And Xi'er's multiplier is even more outrageous, the Adair Chamber of Commerce actually opened a multiplier of Bernie to win one to one, and Xi'er to win one to five!
However, even if Bernie's odds are only 1 to 0.1, people are basically pressing Bernie, and the seventh-level magician vs. the fifth-level magician still needs to be watched?! It's obvious that it's giving money!
Even the conductor at the counter of the Adair Casino, who was in charge of selling tickets for this game, kept sighing that this was simply giving money!
Other casinos simply don't dare to play like that! It's just a bet on how long Xi'er can support it, how much more than one minute, how much more than two minutes, and so on.
Everyone never thought that a fifth-level magic could defeat a seventh-level magician!
Even many high-ranking members of the Adair Chamber of Commerce questioned the Chamber of Commerce's decision.
But in the end, it was actually Xi'er, a dark horse, who actually defeated a seventh-level magician, and I don't know how many gamblers secretly scolded "shady!" "Match-fixing!" "Definitely took the money!"
In many cases, the decisions made by successful people will not be understood, but there is never a shortage of people who applaud and cheer when they succeed, and the Yadar Chamber of Commerce once again lamented the wise decision of their boss Yadel Brothers, and the Yadail Brothers once again led the Chamber of Commerce to make a wave of money again.
It's almost a kill gamble! And the Austin Imperial Capital, as one of the most powerful countries on the mainland, has no shortage of rich people.
Only a few people were able to get a piece of the pie from the successful gamble of the Adel Chamber of Commerce.
Tong Xi is one of them, although she is rich, but no matter how rich she is, she can enjoy the thrill of making money......
Thinking back to the day before the game, when Tong Xi went to place a bet.
"Hello, I'm going to bet." Even though Tong Xi stood on tiptoe under the counter, he still couldn't show his little head on the counter.
Casinos, they must be basically adults, and the one-meter-six-tall front desk is really not very friendly to Tong Xi, who is less than one meter three tall.
After a few attempts, Tong Xi finally had no choice but to raise his right hand and wave it under the counter......
"Huh?" The staff at the counter heard the movement and poked their heads out.
"Princess Xi?!" Casinos are often places where rich people and big people come and go, and those who can sit at the front desk of the Adel Casino must remember the appearance of all the big people in the imperial capital, otherwise, the snubbing of the guests at the front desk may bring very big trouble to the Chamber of Commerce.
And Tong Xi, the top "second generation of officials and rich second generation", almost didn't have "My father is a sword saint" written on his forehead, coupled with his very recognizable milk-blonde hair and conspicuous height, he basically recognized anyone with a little eyesight in the imperial capital.
Of course, the front desk of the Adel Casino recognized it, and I saw that the front desk guy nodded hurriedly and trotted out from the counter, bent low, as if he wanted to be at eye level with Tong Xi. Some people hate to be looked down upon, let alone the children of powerful nobles? Although it is rumored in the information that this princess Tong Xi is very easy to get along with and very talkative, she has never actually been in contact with her personally! What if the rumor was deliberately spread against the truth, and the person made a mistake? Isn't that the unlucky one who is not he?
From this point of view, it is really difficult for this little brother who is more than 1.75 meters tall to bend his knees and bend his knees to look at Tong Xi, who is less than 1.3 meters tall......
"What are your orders?" The front desk guy smiled...... Charming?
"I want to bet!" Tong Xi waved his little hand, stretched out a short and cute index finger and pointed to the sign hanging high behind the counter, which was written with the multiplier of the Austin Magic Martial Academy's eight-in-four games.
"That'...... Which one do you want to bet on? How much down? The guy at the front desk seemed to be pinching his throat, trying to make his voice changer softer.
"That one! Full pressure! A purple transparent card appeared out of thin air in Tong Xi's hand, it was the amethyst card issued by the Adel Chamber of Commerce itself, and the nobles usually traded a lot of money through this kind of card. However, not all nobles can afford this kind of amethyst card, because the opening conditions are very simple, just one, that is, the deposit in the card must exceed 10,000 gold coins!
"All...... Full pressure? The little brother at the front desk took the small purple transparent card with a slight trembling hand.
Sky! That's at least 10,000 gold coins! Adair is already a well-known place with good benefits and high salary, but his salary is also one gold coin a month!
At this time, he was holding 10,000 months' salary!
There may be more than 10,000 gold coins in this card!
The guy at the counter trembled slightly and inserted the card into the special machine, and the data displayed almost made him unable to hold the machine in his hand for a while.
Million?!
Although I knew that the other party was rich, I didn't expect the other party to be rich! Even if the family has money, who would give so much money to such a young child?
"All...... Full pressure? The counter guy asked again with a slight tremble.
"Actually...... Xi Austin's win rate is not high, otherwise, a little less pressing? The counter guy reminded.
Otherwise, what if Prince Riel kills the door and says that they cheated the children out of money?!
"Full pressure! That's my sister! I'm going to support her! Tong Xi smiled innocently...... Naive?
"Good...... Bet your bet now...... Please wait a minute......" said the guy at the counter and returned to the counter.
Tong Xi, who was standing leisurely under the counter, didn't know that at this time, the battle between heaven and man was being staged in the heart of the little brother at the counter.
"Oh my God! That's five million! Bet on a must-lose match! If I give her a random ticket, I don't actually record the bet, that is, I don't actually place a bet...... When the time comes, she loses the gambling ticket, whether it is true or not, it will naturally be invalid, and then the five million ......" The counter brother was full of breath and became heavy.
Even his own heartbeat can be heard clearly.
"Five million! What do you want when the time comes? I'm going to spend 10,000 gold coins to buy that lobby manager and let him come to my house every day to wash the toilet! ”
