Chapter 415: Black Eats Black Er, the Golden Wheat of the Bawen Family
“...... The equivalent of 300 slaves is counted as a 'refund fee', otherwise it will die...... Ahem......"
Ned and Gilson both frowned slightly, and the first thought that popped into their minds was 'Forget it dead'. The difference is that Ned quickly suppresses the idea and begins to figure out how to raise money, while Gilson is thinking about how to politely decline Ned's request to borrow money. If Ned suffers this catastrophe, it is worth considering, and the stranger who met for the first time should be forgotten.
After all, three hundred slaves is not a small amount. For example, the normal price of the tavern that had just been bought in the afternoon was about 150 slaves, and when the original owner was in a hurry to get rid of it, 6% was equivalent to 90 slaves.
Of course, on the other hand, it may not be impossible to grit your teeth and put together a piece. Obviously, this association, which seems to be called a bird, also has a certain understanding of the economic capacity of the thugs in the artisan district, and gives a number of 'jumping and getting it by luck'.
Jaken, who was squinting and observing, relieved himself from his cough and continued, "Actually, I have some money hidden in myself, about a hundred slaves. Plus the three men who gave me all the money this time, and about a hundred slaves. So I've come this time to borrow money from you for about a hundred slaves. ”
Ned frowned, but sighed, "I just bought that tavern plate in the afternoon, and if I get rid of it, although I am a little anxious in seven days, I can still buy a hundred slaves at this price." ”
This was obviously a direct agreement to borrow money, and he thought that he would only be able to plead but did not have time to open his mouth, and Jaken was greatly moved. But then he remembered that this was Ned's hard work for nearly ten years, and he couldn't help but be hypocritical, "But ......"
Unlike Jaken and other guys who rely on their magical talents to do odd jobs or blackmail and fool around, Ned is not easy to save money by doing personal work with qi magic and paying to learn magic from old gas craftsmen in his spare time.
"The price of buying is not high, and selling at a low price is just a waste of time, and it will not lose anything. But you don't have to worry about it in the future, just pay it back early. ”
"Thank you!"
Gilson, who was speechless, sighed secretly, both happy and sad about Ned's seemingly unchanging good character. In a different place, he will never take out all his savings to save this kind of street gangster who may die at any time, of course, it is another thing to have no savings because of negligence.
"Stop talking, get some rest. With that, Ned got up and closed the window to block the cool autumn night, and told the tavern attendant a few more words before pulling Gilson away. He didn't go far, so he slowed down, looked at the starry night sky for a moment, and said, "Originally, I thought about what we said, and decided to take the opportunity to leave the family completely. ”
"Huh?" Gilson was completely stunned at first hearing this. It's like a flower growing up in a greenhouse, and the thought of leaving the flower cellar never comes to mind.
"Our territory is dilapidated and dead. Even if you rely on the merit of reporting to get the position of elder? Not to mention how much you are constrained, what you get from a year of hard work may not be as much as the thug who succeeded in stealing just now. If it had been two years ago, I would not have dared to make this decision, after all, this golden capital city is also set in stone. But in the past year, especially since the spring ploughing, the city has undergone earth-shaking changes, and many craftsmen have made a lot of money, and I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Ned's words were more like self-conviction rather than explanations.
"Stealing is not as good as farming. Gilson is in his twenties, and the basic view of right and wrong has long been formed, and the closed view of life has not been impacted, which is a disdainful rebuttal to this. "But I don't think much has changed in this Golden Capital City. ”
"Your eyes...... Oh, how did you get here, portal?"
"Yes, it will take two days to get to the Duchess of Pique, and then go through the portal. Anyway, this thing is really convenient, saving seven or eight days of travel. ”
"Coming out of the east side of the aristocratic district, well, congratulations on perfectly avoiding the most changed places in Jindu City. Ned smiled, but he had the idea of pulling in the opposite direction, "It's better to rent a floating pallet tomorrow and go around the city to open your eyes." If you see it too much, it is better to entrust the territory to the clan elder and do a career here with me. ”
"Is it cheap to rent a floating pallet? I didn't even dare to ask for the price in the afternoon, so I didn't have to be embarrassed. ”
Ned didn't answer specifically, just patted Gilson on the shoulder: "Hehe, I think I should stay." ”
Gilson felt this joking contempt, and shook his shoulders unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense, there's still a box of things waiting for you to see." ”
"Oh, I almost forgot. ”
After estimating, although the excessive value of those 'prizes' made Ned frown slightly, he didn't think much about it.
"How?"
"It's enough for half a tavern, and if it is sold for the autumn harvest celebration in five days, it may be increased by 20%. ”
"Then wait, there's no hurry. "Gilson was happy not to get involved in the 'withdrawal of dues'. Then, under the reminder of the old butler, he took out a stack of papers from the bottom of the box and handed it to Ned, but it was sorted out, and the content of the madman's personality about Ned's family.
Ned didn't care at first, after all, this information was important as a condition for leaving the family, but he frowned slightly when he saw a name, "Who is this Krumi?"
"I heard the clan elder say that he was a stunned young man who offended the upper family, and he disappeared for more than 20 years. How?"
"No, nothing. Ned shook his head, dispelling some of the bad memories of his mother that loomed into his mind. In the inexplicable confusion, he sorted out this information overnight, and sent the summary and conditions back to the family with the agreed means of qi magic contact.
The next day, Gilson, who was wandering around as he was told, hurried back to the tavern just around noon and slapped a copy of the propaganda newspaper on Ned's face as he slept through his sleep. "I don't have time to sleep, take a look at this!"
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Ned read softly: "Golden Wheat Casino has opened a big reward, and the game tokens are exchanged for 7% off...... Well, Hatche, the entertainment that exists on the continent can be found here: all kinds of drinks and dishes, boxing and fighting, gambling, and hundreds of male and female technicians...... Oh~, do you think about women, I remember that my sons are three years old, right?"
"Of course not!" Gilson tapped his finger on the gambling items, and there was a VIP area in the back. "I remember you were very good at that, and when we were kids playing gambling, you always won. ”
"That's because you're stupid. Ned laughed.
"People here aren't necessarily smart, either. "Gilson has developed self-knowledge of his own brain in the cultivation of magic, so he does not refute it. "If we open today, we might as well try it if we can make money. Not only can the problem of the latter person be solved, but if you can get enough tickets to enter the VIP area, you will make a lot of money. The capital of your career, the face of my family, all problems can be solved. ”
Ned rubbed his eyes and faded into a state of apprehension, as if he still didn't feel awake enough, and somehow he sent a cloud of cold water out of nowhere, and smothered his face for a long time before letting go of his control, letting the water fall to the ground.
"Good!"
The two hurriedly changed into their dresses in accordance with the dress code in the propaganda newspaper. After all, as a new thing, the entertainment city tends to be high-end, and it is not a black gambling house where anyone can go to low-grade prostitutes and small gangs to pit bad gamblers. And after a good night's sleep and can already walk on the ground, Jaken became even more interested, based on the experience of being a thug and a customer in the black casino all year round, and was ready to take two rookies with him.
For about half an hour, three dog-like guys stood in front of the gate of Jinmaizi Entertainment City, shocked by the lively opening celebration scene and the beautiful cheongsam dress at the door. Ned, who was the first to come back to his senses, woke up his companion on his elbows, and the three of them looked at each other, all slightly embarrassed, and then straightened their clothes again, and walked through the door with their chests straight.
And when the three of them walked out of the door at night, their expressions were a little dazed.
If you win, your capital will increase tenfold.
It's just half a day, and the problem of almost worrying about the white head last night is simply and easily solved. This even gives them the illusion that it is so easy to make money?
"We're not dreaming, are we?" asked Gilson.
"It doesn't seem to be. Ned replied.
"What's that going on, keep gambling!!" Gilson roared in a low voice, looking back at the brightly lit hall as if looking at heaven.
"It's the first time I've been here, but in my experience, if I don't come out again, something will happen. Jaken, who pulled his companion out, smiled bitterly, his eyes looking back and forth at several strong men in black, ready to flee at any time. "Anyway, let's go back first. ”
The two who were calm by the night breeze nodded, and beckoned the floating tray waiting at the door, and the three of them were silent on the road, on the one hand, they were guarding the surroundings, but on the other hand, they were thinking about their own thoughts. It wasn't until he returned to the tavern, ordered the kitchen to make some supper, and sat down in the room, that Jaccan exclaimed:
"Brother Ned doesn't show his face, I dare to say that your gambling skills are in the top three in this artisan area. If you had known this, what kind of tavern would have been opened, and you would have been dragged to sweep the field. ”
The afternoon can be divided into two phases as a whole.
After a while of familiarizing themselves with the rules, Gilson and Jaken placed bets on a few traditional items. Three times five divided by two, Gilson lost all the small amount of tokens he had carefully exchanged, but he was also carelessly distressed. Jaken was sweating profusely to keep a good score, obviously having experience but not being good at it.
Next is Ned, who chooses a novel card gambling game, to kill all sides. When the gambling money doubled, the two companions laughed and scolded him for stepping on shit luck. When it was four times over, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. When it was eight times, his face was red and his ears were red and he was panting, and he was completely brought into it. It wasn't until ten times that Jaken suddenly shuddered, as if remembering something, and pulled the two away.
"And then hunted down by the gangs?" said Ned. When I was kicked to Jindu City for the first time, I had similar thoughts when I was wandering around and watching the gambling game, but I soon found that the dealer was tired and didn't touch these again. I have never shown my gambling skills, and I don't know if I can do this without participating in it.
"In any case, if you win one and a half more games tomorrow, your 'withdrawal fee' will be enough. I know you have ideas, but it's all about saving your life, right? ”
Jaken and Gilson looked at each other and nodded in unison. The next day, the three of them came again, and Ned won the money as planned, but Jacon and Gilson walked up and down the place, the latter just looking for freshness, and the former, who had some faces in the artisan quarter, was looking for acquaintances. Finally, after grabbing a waiter, greeting his family and giving some tips, he hid in the corner and chatted.
At noon, the three of them hid the money first, and under the leadership of Jaken, they found the out-of-town factory where the vulture organization dove occupied the magpie's nest, and while waiting at the door, Jaerson and Ned looked at the blackened family crest on the wall next to them, and frowned slightly.
Gilson whispered to Ned, "Is this ...... Of the Minucha family?"
The Minucha family, as one of the few powerful families in their hometown, is not only the object of the loyalty of the Ned family, but also oppresses Gilson's Fleming family enough.
"I think so, but I think it's better if I didn't see it. ”
Soon, the two mages with sloppy faces brought the three of them into the side hall on the first floor of the small building in the courtyard, and after a few words of dialogue were confirmed, Ned teleported the money space over, and paid the withdrawal fee in the surprised eyes of several sixth-ring and seventh-ring magicians.
After a heart-pounding silence, the three of them laughed out loud and received praise from the 'good boy' and a promise that they would not look for any more trouble.
It wasn't until they returned to the tavern that the three of them felt a little relieved, looked at each other with a wry smile, and came to an agreement that they would never deal with this group. Then the conversation turned to gambling to make money.
The first is that Jaken releases the intel he has gathered this morning. The behind-the-scenes boss of this Golden Wheat Entertainment City is the Duke of Bawen family, and the family reputation is not bad, but regardless of the actual situation, at least the kind that is willing to maintain the superficial reputation. In the course of two days of operation, there were two or three cases where the gambling money in the public area increased by a hundred times, and they were all politely invited out.
"Is this sarcasm?"
"No!" said Jacken, shaking his head, "it's a very polite send-off, as it sounds like." Last night I was too cautious, we were far from the bottom line. ”
"Good news. Gilson slapped his thigh, "Isn't this at our mercy." ”
Jackon and Gilson, the two gambling wastes, have a tacit understanding of constantly using the word 'we'.
