Chapter 5 The Gambler

() Port of Selidaya - This is the largest seaport city in the kingdom of Ban Tsumen

Among the twelve great powers of the Holy Light Cult, there are three countries known as the three major naval powers: the Kingdom of Sealand, the Republic of Monis, and the Kingdom of Banqimen, as an archipelago country, the Kingdom of Sealand is surrounded by the sea, and almost every time the Poseidon invades, it bears the brunt of the main war, so in the consciousness of the Sealand people, the sea is their lifeblood, and the establishment of a strong navy is a necessary prerequisite to ensure the security of this country, and sometimes they will be used as adventurers to enter the bridge from the Star River Continent to the Demon Continent; The Republic of Monis, on the shores of the Olopa, was not directly threatened by the Poseidon Clan, and they maintained a strong navy for a long time to protect the country's maritime trade routes, as the Republic of Monis was a country founded on commerce and maintained by commerce to this day, while the kingdom of Banjumen, located in the southeast of the Carmetnevia Peninsula, went further than the two countries

The Kametnevia Peninsula is located in the east of the glorious continent, a large peninsula in a northwest-southeast direction, connected to the mainland in the northwest is the mercenary kingdom of the Kingdom of Vimumen, the western land border of this country is connected to the Fayele Empire and the Kingdom of Loma, the southeast is connected to the Kingdom of Ban Chaomen, the Kingdom of Wei Mu Men and the Kingdom of Ban Xiang Men The royal families of these two countries have the same origin, and their national customs and folk feelings are also similar, but compared with the strong continental relationship of the Kingdom of Wei Mumen, the Kingdom of Ban Chaomen has a strong oceanic atmosphere

The Ban Rush Gate Kingdom is the first country in the three continents of Olopa to break through the blockade of the Poseidon Clan and get in touch with the vast land continent in the far east, even now, the Ban Rush Gate Kingdom is still the only country that has established foreign relations and commercial relations with the largest country on the vast continent - the real country, and the real goods circulated by other countries on the Olopa are all re-exported through the Guò Ban Rush Gate Kingdom, so this country is also deeply influenced by the culture of the real country

The port of Selidaya was the first city to trade with the merchants of the real country who traveled far and wide, so the culture of the real country here is the strongest

Just like the stack of cards in this building now, it is the product of the combination of the real country and the Olopa culture, this kind of card is used to carry out some kind of game tools, this game is called the horse crane in the real country, it was originally carved with a variety of different symbolic words and patterns of the larger dozens of square wooden blocks to play, was passed to the Ban Rush Gate Kingdom, after the local merchants combined with the knightly culture of the Holy Light Cult, improved its gameplay, and replaced the thick wooden blocks with light pieces of paper, making it easy to carry, and later this game became popular, and the Moolopa countries were not only popular in human countries, but also very popular in dwarf and orc societies, although the vast majority of people who played this game were pregnant with oneA kind of unshady purpose: gambling

So there was a place for gambling with this kind of game: the casino building was a typical gambling house, funded by the local thieves' guild, and the people who came and went were low-class people of the lower classes of society, and the noble knights did not disdain to associate with the people who lingered in such places, but this place had its own unique order

The four gamblers sitting at this round table, they were all focused on revealing their hole cards, and among the four gamblers, sitting in the back was a thin black young man about 20 years old, who showed a confident and smug smile after looking at his hole cards, as if the victory or defeat of this gamble was completely in his hands

Sir of Hearts

Queen of Blocks

The King of Spades

The other three gamblers showed their hole cards, and then the thin black young man laughed, and he couldn't wait to show his hole cards: Ace of spades, haha, I won this game

Saying that, the thin black young man jumped up happily, but it was he who jumped like this, and a stack of cards fell out of his clothes, and the smile of the thin black young man immediately froze, and he quickly bent down to protect the cards that fell on the ground

He was out of the old man, and suddenly someone shouted, and this sentence made the eyes of everyone in the audience focus on the black and thin young man

Hee-hee...... The thin black young man spread his hands with a smile and was about to leave

Suddenly, a large, muscular man put his hand on his shoulder and threw him down on his seat

Dare to play tricks on us, you kid is impatient, another strong man next to him said, I saw that his body was as strong as pig iron, wearing a vest, and a tattoo of a skull was tattooed on his thick arm that exposed from the vest

Seeing that there were more and more strong men coming around, the black and thin young man felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: Don't, don't, don't, big brother, I have something to discuss, I just haven't won all the time, I just want to win a game, I want to win, I want to go crazy, don't worry about crazy people

A strong man with pigtails put his head in front of the thin black young man, and his mouth spat out and bad breath: You kid still dare to say that he has been gambling here for four days, and he has never won a game, and now he still owes us 5,000 gold coins in gambling debts

The thin black man was almost fainted by the strong man's bad breath, only to see him sweating profusely and hurriedly explained: Big brothers, you borrow money for me to play a few more games, and I will definitely turn the tables and return it to you

Hmph, you still want to turn the tables, a strong man standing in the back grabbed the back collar of the thin black young man, twisted him up like a chicken, according to our rules here, the old man has to cut off a hand, and then after being punched by all of us, he is not allowed to step into here for half a step

As he spoke, the strong man thudged a sharp dagger with a cold light on the table, and a dozen strong men who had gathered around were grinding their fists and rubbing their fists, and the joints on their fists were making a snapping sound, and they were looking up and down the body of the thin black young man, and began to guess how many people his body could reach

No, don't...... The thin black man made a final plea

At this time, passers-by passing by outside the casino could hear the screams of pain as someone was tortured from inside

Exit at the southern end of the Valley of Sin

Okay, get it here, Ischennova, you should go back, the honest fat man said to the girl in the wheelchair

I really want to give you another ride, and the girl said reluctantly

In front of it is the kingdom of Xiluofei, where the people are very treacherous, you better go back, Cassius said

I...... Got it

Ishnova

Well

I'm sorry I didn't make it to the Steel Alchemist exam

You've said it eighteen times along the way

There was silence for a while, Cassius snapped his fingers, and their car turned into a puddle of water, but Ishennova admired Cassius very much, and he actually thought of using ice to rebuild a new carriage

But my brother broke your car, you don't have a car, what's the matter, the girl still doesn't want to leave like this

Patting the bag on his hand, Cassius said: It's okay, the teacher gave me a lot of money, enough for me to buy tens of thousands of carriages

Seeing that there was really no reason not to go back, Ishnova shed tears of beans

Cassius saw the girl crying and hurriedly said: I'm sorry I made you cry, I will compensate you

Hey, fool, Ischennova burst into tears when she saw Cassius's scrambled demeanor, and laughed, who said you made me cry, you are so cute

Is it I'm cute, Cassius touched his head a little bewildered, and then he noticed that Ishnova's eyes seemed to reveal a strange look in this look, and Cassius's heart suddenly seemed to be attacked by lightning magic, and he quickly moved his head away

It's all said that you are a fool, what are you running away from, Ischenova turned the wheelchair in front of him, and said with some dissatisfaction

I...... Cassius stammered, you know I'm a dead fat man, I ......

Cassius, don't be so inferior, okay, you are very good except for being a little bigger than others, Ishinova said very seriously

Ishinova I ......

So you have to have confidence in yourself, Ishennova paused and said I can't walk on two feet since I was a child, don't I have to bear the strange eyes of others, but I am not pessimistic because of this, I have confidence in myself, I am determined to become the best alchemist in the Snowy Federation, I can have confidence in myself, why can't you

I...... Thank you, Ishnova Cassius felt red-faced

At this time, Ischenova gestured for the fat man to squat down, and then leaned over and kissed his fat face

Ah, Cassius looked at the girl in front of him with ecstasy

Ischenova stretched out the little finger of her right hand: Make a promise with me and come back safely

Cassius smiled and put the little finger of his right hand on it

A fat finger hooked up with a slender finger

The port of Selidaya in the kingdom of Ban Chaomen

That little turmoil at the casino ended in a bloody ending

The thin black young man walked down the street with a full load in his arms, and as he went, coins fell out of his pocket, followed by a string of poor children picking them up

In the casino he had just left, a dozen strong men were lying half-dead on the floor, foaming at the mouth

It's all said, let me play a few more games to turn the tables, you just don't listen, alas, I really don't want to get into that situation, this is what the black and thin young man said to those strong men who were murdered when he left, he shook his head and sighed, it was indeed not what he wanted to make that situation

Soon, the thin black man entered a stall

The boss redeemed the two things I had lost two days ago, and the thin black man handed over two notes, along with a pile of coins in his arms

A few minutes later, the thin black man walked out of the pawnshop, he had two more Mithril alloy weapons carefully crafted by the dwarves: a long sword and a bow, and the thin black man said to himself: Alas, the gambling goods of the people in this city are really poor (obviously his own gambling is poor - the author is on), forget it, go to the casino in the next city to try his luck.
