Chapter 0062 - Gambling
For people living in the Black Forest, benevolence and morality are just a joke, and the temptation of profit is only expediency. The strong don't need to talk nonsense at all, they naturally have the power to rule the weak.
In terms of appearance, Uncle Zhou has no deterrent effect. If it weren't for his unique temperament and outstanding image, he would be like a servant standing in a group of big men.
Especially for people who meet Zhou Qingfeng for the first time, it is difficult for him to have a sense of existence, let alone shock the scene and make people convinced. But because of this, when they heard the news that he wanted Schroeder to 'duel', everyone who resisted the coalition was extremely excited.
In the Rat Village, there were originally two groups of people holding weapons, shouting and scolding each other from a distance of several meters, provoking each other. And on the periphery, hundreds of adventurers who followed Zhou Qingfeng were watching with relish, shouting, and stirring up the flames of war.
This is what Rubio calls a 'rush'. An armed attendant from Ember Village spotted a good-looking maid and immediately took possession of her. But one of the leaders of Bear Roar Village also took a fancy to this maid. The two sides got into a dispute.
The armed squire of Ember Village was hacked to death in the scramble, a wound in his chest that nearly split him in half, and blood spilled all over the ground. Naturally, his companions called for more people to come, so the two sides were fighting, and neither of them would give in.
Onlookers are judging the two sides of the 'rush' and discussing who will win in the fight. They really wish that a few more people would die, and by the way, weaken the power of some 'allies', and then there will be fewer people fighting for the treasures in the elven ruins.
But when Rubio ran over, he shouted at the top of his voice, 'Your Excellency Hugo has decided to subdue Schroeder, and the two sides have agreed to a duel to determine the winner.' Let's go and testify.'"
With this shout, the noisy 'firefight' scene was immediately quiet. Everyone turned their heads in unison, staring at the black-hearted profiteers with excited expressions.
The leaders of the families who followed Zhou Qingfeng had all seen the various magical abilities of 'His Excellency Hugo', and they were also in awe of his mystery. But this is not enough, everyone will inevitably mumble after the excitement, and they don't know how good the teenager is?
There is a deep-rooted concept in this world - the real boss is the one who can fight!
If you can witness the contest between Schroeder and His Excellency Hugo, everyone in the coalition will naturally look forward to and be more convinced of the future victory. So they ran out of the village like a tide and surrounded Zhou Qingfeng and Schroeder.
Uncle Zhou is unhappy in his heart!
It's really a duck to the shelves, the head.
However, in order to maintain his strong image, Zhou Qingfeng could not refuse this imposed duel. He even had to show his undaunted impossibility, looking at his opponent with contempt. But in his mind, he asked Ciric, "Can I win?" ”
"It's hard." Ciric was a rare low-key, "This barbarian is much stronger than you. Unless you become my believer, I can strengthen you, or you will die. Don't think I'm intimidating you, you can feel how strong your opponent is! ”
When the crowd gathered, someone took the initiative to run out to untie Schroeder and the other barbarians, and even stuffed a heavy axe into it.
Schroeder broke free and jumped up from the ground. He glared viciously, and his eyes could eat Zhou Qingfeng alive. After taking the heavy axe, he played it a few times, and then threw the axe on the ground and shouted......
"It's too light, it's not my axe."
But Schroeder's own axe didn't know where to go, so this barbarian guy asked for two axes, one in one hand, and the two axes danced in the whirring wind, sharp and fierce - Uncle Zhou's scalp was numb!
Is this to dissect Lao Tzu's body with an axe?
Is it all over if you get an axe?
No!
Schroeder walked around the field with his axe held aloft and shouted loudly. The other barbarians of the Rat Village were also untied one by one, and they also followed their own leaders to shout loudly after the activities, as if they wanted to vent their anger at the stench.
Anyone who doesn't know why thinks Schroeder has won.
At the moment when the barbarian's momentum was high, Rubio, who was collecting money to gamble, suddenly screamed loudly: "The 'Blood Widow' from Flame Village has placed a bet of one hundred gold coins to pressure the leader of Schroder to win.
The odds of 10 to 1! This is an opportunity to make a fortune that has not been seen in decades, and who else wants to buy it? If you miss it, you won't have it again. One pays ten, one pays ten! ”
Everyone at the scene gathered in a circle, and their eyes were focused on Schroeder and Zhou Qingfeng, who were about to decide for life. But in the human settlements of the Black Forest, the name of the 'Blood Widow' Inisha is also like thunder, and everyone knows it, and no one knows it.
Hearing Rubio shouting 'Blood Widow' to bet on Schroeder to win with a hundred gold coins, everyone was quiet for a few seconds, and then the crowd was excited. They rushed to Rubio and pulled a lot of silver coins out of their pockets to bet.
Zhou Qingfeng was having a headache in the duel with Schroeder, and suddenly heard the 'blood widow' of Flame Village, he was angry-Flame Village is a village of five betrayed human beings, and the other party suddenly came, and the people in the village actually had the heart to watch the excitement.
If this is a surprise attack, everyone will be doomed.
But......
At a distance of more than 20 meters, Zhou Qingfeng still saw the unique woman on horseback - there are not many women in the Black Forest, only about one-fifth of the men. The women here don't have any feminine appearances, they are either stout or ugly.
For example, the female Druinar, Uncle Zhou has always treated the other party as a man.
But the sudden appearance of Anisa is finally different. Judging by the way she sat on horseback, she was still a strong woman. But she is about 20 years old, her height and posture are moderate, and although her face is weathered, she is also a little feminine.
Two slender thighs sandwiching the horse's belly are bound to be strong and powerful.
Uncle Zhou doesn't like tough women very much. He was in trouble now, and when he saw Inisa, he was distracted and laughed at himself: "Probably because the environment is too bad, my aesthetics have actually changed!" ”
On the other side, Inisa, who had a tense face, also stared at Zhou Qingfeng. She has seen a lot of men who flatter her, and she especially looks down on those useless soft bones.
For Zhou Qingfeng, she let out a disdainful cold snort in her nose, "This waste is going to die, and you still have the heart to stare at me." But her disdain and disdain soon turned into great doubt.
Under Rubio's publicity, a whole bunch of people pounced to place bets. But most people didn't bet on Schroder to win like Inisa, they frantically bet on 'Lord Hugo', even if Zhou Qingfeng's odds dropped to one to five.
This inexplicable odds made Inisha feel uneasy about making the wrong bet, and she casually grabbed an armed attendant who had just placed a bet on Zhou Qingfeng, and forced her to ask, "Why don't you bet on Schroeder?" ”
The armed squire immediately pursed his lips and said proudly: "Schroeder? In only a quarter of an hour, His Excellency Hugo broke through his defenses, captured his village, and forced him to surrender. Why should I bet on a loser?
I believe that His Excellency Hugo is the true strongest, he has a strong dragon bloodline, and he is the one who will lead us to victory all the time. He's going to win! ”
Dragonline bloodline?
Inisa's heart instantly filled with clouds - Oops, I put all my money on Schroeder.!
