Chapter 707: A New Friend
"Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! β
I went up to the second floor, but the atmosphere here was no weaker than that on the first floor. Even, it added a tense atmosphere of fighting!
The second floor seemed to be a large venue, with a large group of people in the middle, and collective shouts were constantly coming from the center of the field. The edge of the field was also crowded with all sorts of nervous observers. On the other side of the wall, there are various odds tables, indicating that in addition to being a game, this is also a good market.
"Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! β
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With every shout, there was a sound of fists banging on the table from the encirclement of the crowd.
Arrow and Coco came to the periphery of the encirclement, but there were a large number of people in front of them, and they couldn't see the details inside.
After searching for a while, Coco on the side said, "Brother President, I don't seem to have seen that assassin." He should be in there, right? β
Arrow also nodded and said, "This guy must have lost a long time ago, and I don't know if he is watching the excitement here now or has already gone back...... Alas, let's wait a minute. β
With that burst of "attack!" Attack! Attack! The voice sounded, and Arrow could very well understand that there should be a most exciting national battle card duel going on in the center of the encirclement of this group of people.
But it had nothing to do with him, and when he was bored, he turned his head to look at the odds table hanging on the wall.
ββ¦β¦οΌοΌβ
After taking the first look, Arrow suddenly realized that he seemed to be dazzled?! This fear made him hurriedly lean over again and take a closer look at the paytable!
"Cream ...... This guy ...... You're actually playing?! β
That's right, on the paytable on the wall, it shows that there are two sides playing the game, and one of them is the name of Cream! Unless it's the same name and surname, otherwise, this guy didn't run away!
"The last one, the last one! It's out! β¦β¦ Soldier Card Leader! It's the leader! It's done! It's a success! β
In an instant, the crowd erupted in cheers like riots! The crowd that had just piled up began to surge, some of them raised their hands and celebrated loudly, some of them were swearing and swearing, but some of them rushed to the market on Arrow's side for the first time, and began to frantically shout at the salesman for the tickets in their hands to exchange for bonuses.
And after the crowd finally dispersed, Arrow finally saw the man who was in the middle of the battle.
At this moment, the Assassin stood up excitedly, saluted his opponent slowly, and then raised his hands again to show himself as a victor!
"Cream! Didn't expect you to win? β
As Cream was enjoying the praise of the crowd of onlookers, Arrow stepped forward and spoke.
Cream was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw that the excitement on his face after seeing that it was his own president did not decline at all, and hurriedly said, "President! You've come just in time! Did you see my game? It was a really good game! I was almost on the verge of giving up at the last minute, but luckily I got the Soldier card I needed the most! Hahaha! Win! President, I won! β
Arrow looked at the formation on the table, and Cream, as the attacker, did suffer a heavy loss.
The president smiled and said, "It seems that your card skills are not bad, right?" Enjoyable, right? So where will you get your winnings? Will there be an awards ceremony later? β
Cream smiled slightly, put on a very smug expression, and smiled: "It's not over yet!" The number of applicants for this national battle card competition is very large, so the qualifiers alone are divided into three days. I still have a few more games to play tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and if I win them all, I will be able to enter the final day of Armageddon! I just won a day today. β
Arrow sighed, anyway, he wasn't very interested in the rules of the national battle card. Anyway, as long as this assassin is playing in Hanhai City and doesn't cause any trouble, it's fine.
But, it was at this time......
"Isn't that our championship today? Congratulations, Mr. Cream, on your victory today! β
Arrow turned his head and saw a man in his thirties standing with a soft coat on his head, a red and black satin goose-down shawl draped over his body, and a pair of shiny cowhide boots at his feet.
Cream also smiled when she saw this person, waved to him, and said to Arrow next to him, "President, this is the poker friend I just met today, his name is Quint Hearthstone." There are a lot of things I didn't understand when I first came here today, thanks to the help of Mr. Hearthstone. Ah, Quent! This is the president of our guild, Airo Garcia. β
The man walked over, looked the short president in front of him up and down, then smiled slightly, and made a very solemn salute to Arrow, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are the president of the mermaid song!" Well, it's a little different from what I expected. β
Arrow laughed and said, "You imagine? What do you imagine me to look like? β
Hearthstone nodded and smiled, "I thought it would be a very old-fashioned old man, even older than me. But I didn't expect it to be such a handsome and dashing young man! It's really terrifying. β
Although I know that the other party is touting, but in business, it is also necessary to praise each other. So Arrow was happy to accept such a boast, and also boasted in turn: "Mr. Hearthstone is now full of red light, so he must have successfully advanced?" β
A hahaha smile appeared on Gwent Hearthstone's face again, nodded slightly, and said, "My match is scheduled for the previous game, and it's really an honor to win!" Cream, I hope we don't fight directly tomorrow. You're stronger than I thought! β
Cream was also not polite, directly crossed his hands on his hips, and smiled: "Each other!" Mr. Quint has won all of these games so cleanly, and he can't compare to someone like me who has taken so long to win! β
Kun nodded and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Mr. Cream's words are really interesting. Well...... It's not early, why don't we go have a meal together? You're here to participate in this Guild Championship Battle, right? How about eating together? I'm here for a treat! β
Arrow rolled his eyes slightly, and then smiled: "How is this embarrassing? We have a lot of guild members, which is really costing you. β
Quint was very relaxed, and continued: "Where, where! It's a blessing to know such a great guild as yours! And there's nothing to break the bank, don't look at anything else, I'm a little bit of a small asset, and I can still do this kind of thing by inviting you to dinner. β
Since the person in front of him is so polite, then Arrow can only be disrespectful. He nodded slightly: "In that case, then there is Mr. Lawhstone." β
Quint hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey! Don't be so polite! Call me by my name, Quint! Anyone who likes to play cards can call me Gwent, and they're all my best friends! β
After a few pleasantries, Quint led the group downstairs and out of the hotel. After walking a few steps along the darkening road and the slightly crowded crowd, they came to a shopping street and entered a restaurant that looked more elegantly decorated, and the group sat down.
"Cream, go back and see if everyone is back. If they come back, let them come over for dinner. If not, leave a message for Boss Ironbeard and ask him to inform everyone to come back. β
Before arranging to be seated, Arrow happily asked Cream to go back and call someone. The assassin didn't think much of it, and after answering, he quickly ran out of the door of the restaurant and ran in the direction of the Great White Whale Hotel.
Compared to the dim lights on the street outside, the inside of the restaurant was noticeably brighter.
The pale blue dΓ©cor gives a cool feel, and the beautiful frescoes and just the right screens can give a sense of privacy to enjoy the small private room. A small lantern is placed on the white tablecloth, which emits a warm glow. Delicately placed imitation silver cutlery is as luxurious as possible.
There were quite a few diners in the restaurant, but everyone tried to keep their voices down and whisper. After a while, a small band began to set up in the corner of the restaurant, and the melodious sound of the lute made the crowd speak softer and softer.
Coco obviously didn't have much experience with such a restaurant, even if she went to Viscount Ruichi's castle to dine before, the viscount's big voice made this little girl not feel any aristocratic delicacy. But now, the exquisite decoration around the melodious music box made this little girl look a little restrained, lowered her head, and did not dare to speak.
However, in comparison, Arrow seems to be much more free and relaxed. He laid out the napkin in front of him and put it on his lap, a smile on his face.
Quint smiled as well, and he took off the hat and shawl from his head and handed it to the waiter next to him. But just as he was about to order, he inadvertently glanced at Arrow, but he showed a puzzled expression.
Another waiter was standing beside Arrow, hunched over and waiting. It was obvious that he looked a little embarrassed.
And Arrow was looking at the menu, and after a while, he realized that the waiter next to him was there, and then smiled and said, "No, thank you." β
The waiter nodded lightly and turned to leave.
