Chapter 21: Las Vegas

When Viscount Arathi came to his senses, he found himself sleeping in a carriage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe car was piled up with all kinds of valuables, and without looking closely, Viscount Arathi could guess that these were once his own goods, but they were snatched away by the damn Li Youqian......

"You're awake......," a mild-mannered young man handed Viscount Arathi a bag of hydration. Let's take a sip ......."

"Who are you?" Viscount Arathi doesn't just drink what someone hands him over.

The young man was stunned for a moment, opened the water bag, took a sip of himself, signaled that he had not poisoned it, and then handed the water belt to Viscount Arathi again. "My name is Honest Manid."

The ruffian who was driving the wagon outside almost threw the reins in his hand, honest Manid! You're a stinky shameless one, you're so fucking embarrassed, can you make a face.

"I am a villager from the village of Mending, Bina. My lord, Viscount Arathi, is a love of war, and years after years of war have claimed countless lives. Eight of my brothers died in the battle against Swadia......

On that day, our eldest came to our village to recruit soldiers, and I wanted to join the army, but my father did not agree to it, and I was the last male in the family......

The eldest came to the house to persuade him, and my father took the bow from the wall and gave the eldest an arrow. ”

"Ahh Your father was a man! "Viscount Arathi never thought about the consequences of his war for his people.

"It's a pity that the war bow was used by him when he fought for Viscount Arathi, and he retired after he was wounded in the leg, and it was almost ten years, and the bow broke as soon as he pulled it, and the arrow did not hit the boss, and the boss left my father with 10 dinars and left......

My father is a poor man, all his brothers are dead, eight of his nine sons have died, and he can't lose me anymore......" Manid's face was full of sorrow, and his eyes moistened......

For the first time, Viscount Arathi felt guilty about his people, but there was nothing he could do. "War is nothing but a means of negotiation between nations, and it can happen even if there is no hatred, and in any case there is the territory, the resources, the privileges, the ideas, the religion, the relics, the dignity that are wanted, and the war that revolves around these ends, so that the war will end as long as the end is achieved, or if the number of deaths is greater than the gain, the war will also end. Anger and hatred are only means to promote war. ”

"You are right, wise sir. That night he secretly left home and joined the army, in order to kill eight Swadia soldiers and avenge his brothers. ”

"But aren't you wearing the Swadia uniform now?" Arathi asked.

"It's different, we are a free army, and our ultimate goal is to slaughter William IV!" Manid made a gesture to wipe his neck, and Viscount Arathi couldn't help but laugh.

Manid continued his story, "When I first arrived in Las Vegas, I was drawn to the bustle there, where as long as you are diligent, you will always have something to eat, no war, no bandits, no starvation. Manid blushed, "I'm also in love with a girl." ”

Viscount Arathi laughed, he hadn't gotten so easy with someone in a long time.

"When I was hesitating whether to choose the battlefield or love, I met my boss again. Our boss told me, 'I suggest you go to war and stop loving.' Because in war, you are either dead or alive. But in love, you can't die or live well. ’”

Viscount Arathi couldn't help but applaud, "Your boss is really a great man, what is his name?" ”

"His name is Prince Li Youqian. He married Elizabeth, the sister of King William IV of Swadia. ”

"Which Li is rich, this name is very familiar!" Arathi continued.

"It's the first genius in Surabaya City, the seventh young master of the Anderson family, Li Youqian. Anderson. Manid's performance was seamless, and the people outside who were driving the car would probably believe it if they didn't know Manid's nature.

"What are you guys kidnapping me for?" Viscount Arathi finally asked the point.

Manid said with a guilty face, "For the ransom, our boss has recruited too many soldiers, and now the finances are tight, the boss said that you must be an officer, maybe a relative of Viscount Arathi, and when you get to Las Vegas, let Ramon help you bring the letter and ask Viscount Arathi for ransom!" ”

This fool, Viscount Arathi felt that he was too bad...... But there's no way, the soldiers don't get tired of cheating...... "Anyway, where is Las Vegas, I've never heard of it before?" ”

Manid pulled back the curtain of the carriage, "It's Las Vegas ahead." ”

Viscount Arathi looked out the window at the town, he couldn't describe the feeling, this is not a town built for defense, although there are simple walls and arrow towers, but this degree of prosperity is far beyond the same level of towns, even more than some cities.

"Our boss said that this is his territory, that all prohibited items are traded freely, and that in Las Vegas, there's nothing you can't buy. At the same time, our Las Vegas is also the largest gold hole, no matter how much money, you can also spend it. It's the only town in Yas Grassland, so merchants and bandits would rest here, and I think this is probably the only place where bandits and merchants have a good time. ”

Viscount Arathi is not a stupid person, he deeply understands what Manid said, here, is the fastest place to absorb funds, a million profits, if you seize here, your own finances can form a few more legions.

Viscount Arathi turned to Manid, "My dear friend, honest Manid, please take me to your Majesty, I would like to speak with him about the ransom. ”

.

The town tavern, the tavern here is extravagant, and Li Youqian gave him a domineering name, called Heaven and Earth. Here, money is really not called money, high, medium and low-grade, as long as you want, you can spend as much as you want.

Lee had the money to ask Ramon to help with the business, and Ramon guessed that it was a ransom deal, but he didn't expect it to be so big. can be Ramon, he still knows the basic big customers, especially the one in front of him.

"Ramon, help me redeem myself, go back to the castle, and I'll find my brother Viscount Arathi to give you a reward." Arathi gave Ramon a look.

Ramon understood and agreed, but said everything about Arathi.

"I'll just say, to be able to escort such a good thing, it must be a big man, and sure enough, it's the younger brother of Viscount Arathi!" Li Youqian pretended not to see Arahi's small movements.

"Since he is the younger brother of Viscount Arathi, then five hundred thousand dinars!"

Ramon and Viscount Arathi have black lines on their faces, not to mention Viscount Arathi's younger brother, even Viscount Arathi himself is estimated to be so much...... Although now it is indeed Viscount Arathi himself.

"It's too expensive, 150,000 dinars at most." Viscount Arathi was calculating how much his brother was worth.

"It's a good deal!" Li Youqian looks like a villain.

Damn, he it...... Li Youqian didn't know how much ransom was appropriate, and Arashi would return as much as he wanted.

"Ramon, help me give the money to Prince Li Youqian. I don't want to be here for a second. ”

"Okay."

Li Youqian was very reluctant, "His brother, it's getting late today, you can play all night and then leave......"

.

Viscount Arathi ended up staying for one night and spent nearly five thousand dinars.

Las Vegas, it's really a gold kiln, I want it......
