After the imperial princess's convoy went far away, Lin Ke learned that it was in the hut at the top of the earth dragon that sat Her Royal Highness the princess of the current empire.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised.

Isn't the palace where the royal family lives?

The road was clear again, Lin Ke and Hubert returned to the carriage, Lin Ke deliberately glanced at the royal guards who were on guard just now, and their strength was unfathomable, at least with his current level, it was impossible to see through, so it meant that the level of anyone here was more than three orders higher than him.

They had finished visiting the two most noteworthy places in the imperial capital, but it was just noon.

"Brother Hall, it's still a little early, why don't we visit other places in the imperial capital?" Lin Ke asked coldly, still reminiscing about Hubert, who had just met the legendary princess "up close".

"Ahh......h

"Let's go to that war gambling house," Lynco laughed thiefly.

"War Gambling House?" Hubert was stunned, then laughed he, and then laughed dryly as if he remembered something, "Cohen, it's not that my cousin doesn't want to take you to the war gambling house to see and understand, it's really my aunt who wrote to Harris before, so that we can't gamble for money, I think my aunt has also been to the emperor and knows the name of the war gambling house." ”

Lin Ke was speechless for a long time and then reluctantly said, "Cousin, don't you want to go to see such a grand event, wouldn't it be sorry for yourself to press some gold coins to earn pocket money by the way? Besides, if you don't say it, if we don't say it, how can my mother know?"

Hubert glanced at Cher and said, "Cohen, you're cheating on me, you don't say I believe it, even if Lilith and Neil listen to you, I will believe it, but Cher is here, I don't believe she can keep it a secret, and ......I'm the one who will be unlucky when the time comes."

Cher rolled her eyes and tilted her head to the side.

Lin Ke said with a shy face, "Sister Xue'er~"

Cher snorted and ignored it.

Lin Ke's expression remained unchanged and said, "All the money I earn will be in your hands!"

Hubert was stunned.

Xue'er's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Including all of you now?"

Lin Ke "......"

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ke finally agreed, for him, it didn't seem to make much sense to have money in his hand or not, at least he rarely needed to buy anything, and Cher would be by his side when he wanted to buy it.

"Okay," Lin Ke gritted his teeth, "I'll give it all to you, but when I want to spend money, you just don't deduct it." ”

Cher smiled very brightly, making Hubert stunned, "Deal!"

And so from this day on.

Xue'er became the chief financial officer of Linke......

――――――――――――――――――――

The war gambling house was so large that it occupied almost all of a small street.

The streets are not very wide in comparison with the imperial capital, but there are so many people, almost to the point that they are shoulder to shoulder, and because there are too many pedestrians, all the rides are not allowed to enter, so Lin Ke and his party have to get off the car and walk.

What a gambling house pedestrian street......

On both sides of the road are shops with walls that communicate with each other, allowing people to walk freely from one to the other.

Each shop has a row of counters behind which smiling waiters stand behind them, and behind them there is a spar slab with a variety of game rules and bets.

Lin Ke walked around the middle of the shop with the flow of people, and he found that the gambling game was set up very carefully, there were bets on how many people in a certain city would eventually be admitted to the God of War Academy and the number of admissions in each city over the years, there were also bets on how many people would pass the exam in each step from the first to the fourth level of Xiong Li, and there were also bets on which city or even which candidate would be the first to be kicked out in the first round, and the items were extremely rich, enough to meet the requirements of people with different interests from all walks of life.

"In fact, no matter how many people participate in gambling, the dealer is the party that makes sure that he doesn't lose, but people always can't let go of the part that they get in case they win, and no one cares about whether the dealer makes money, this is human nature," Hubert said with some emotion, "So I can figure out why my aunt strictly forbids you to gamble, Cohen, otherwise it's better to go back, gambling has always been a ten bet nine losses, too many accidents, it's too difficult to win." ”

Lin Ke only nodded symbolically in response, but still stared at each hedron slab without looking back.

The further you go, the denser the crowd becomes, and in the end there is even a feeling of crowding, Lin Ke tiptoes from the crowd and looks in, only to see that the largest shop at the end of the street is full of people, and the crowd of bettors is lined up in more than a dozen long lines, although the service attitude and speed of the waiters are excellent, but they can never catch up with the speed of the people who join the team.

"Cousin, what is the gambling on the previous one, how can there be so many people?" asked Hubert in confusion.

Hubert also tiptoed and looked at it for a long time and said with some uncertainty, " It should be the winner or defeat of the popular candidates, this is the most popular every year, because I heard that the waiters of the war gambling house have to rush to various places to collect the information and deeds of each candidate and print them for sale, and even divide the grades of each candidate and make very guiding text evaluations and other things, which will be sold out in just a few days, especially the celebrities who were introduced in the first few pages, and they became famous in the imperial capital overnight, and almost became a household name!"

Of course, gambling houses that have invested a lot of money will continue to put forward a series of information to encourage people to bet, such as increasing the odds of these celebrities, for example, if these celebrities lose the odds are amazing, etc., the previous people should bet on this. ”

Lin Ke nodded thoughtfully and said, "Cousin, has this year's album come out? Have you bought it? How much does it cost?"

Hubert glanced at Lin Ke and said, "I don't have spare money to gamble, why do I care about this kind of thing, but, according to the situation in previous years, the atlas is generally issued within five or six days before the exam, and it should not be sold yet, as for the price, I heard that it is very expensive, but the details are really not clear." ”

Lin Ke nodded and walked around the crowd to the front spar slab, where he found the names of him, Cher and Lilith in the dense names, among which he was selected as the top seed player in Windy City this year, but the odds were still very high to the extent of one to three, thinking that on the one hand, Windy City's historical record was too poor, and on the other hand, there were too many geniuses in the fourth order of Xiong Li this year, and he was not favored because he had just been promoted.

Lilith is the second seed player in Windy City after her, and the odds are even higher than her own to reach the level of 1:3.5, which is also a very high odds, Lin Ke can't help but feel annoyed in his heart, this is completely looking down on the rhythm of our Windy City!

After that, the so-called third-seeded player turned out to be Fias, and Cher's name appeared in the third-to-last position of the ten people in Windy City, and the strength level was written as a new Xiong Li third-order magic shooter, and the odds reached a very astonishing 1 to 6.5, which is really beaten into the ranks that must be eliminated, although as a special profession such as a magic shooter, when being limited to such a limited range as the ring, there is indeed a certain disadvantage in the face of professionals of the same level, but this kind of * naked odds still look very annoying.

Lin Ke turned his head to look at Xue'er and said, "Are you confident of winning the first round?"

Cher nodded solemnly.

Lin Ke smiled and stretched out his hand to Lilith and Neil, "The family gave me two hundred gold coins for a year's living expenses, and I know that it will also be given to the two of you, so I will lend it to me for the time being, and I will pay you back one piece of the money I won." ”

Lilith and Neil didn't think about it and took out a big drum bag from their arms and threw it into Lin Ke's hand, Lin Ke smiled and thought to himself Lilith two hundred, Neil two hundred plus his own two hundred, this is a huge sum of six hundred gold coins, he looked at Xue'er, Xue'er took out his share of it with some pain and hesitantly handed it to Lin Ke, who took it with his hands and feet, and it was two hundred gold coins, this is eight hundred gold coins, in the eyes of ordinary civilians, he has never seen so much money in his life, but in Lin Ke's hands, it is just a gambling money, although this gambling money is so big that he himself is a little serious。

Hubert on the side was already stunned, and stammered a little, "I said that Co... Cohen, you... You can think about it, this is your living expenses for a year!" He said with some excitement, "You also borrowed someone else's, this is a year's living expenses for all of you! Cohen, don't be impulsive, just bet on pleasure and small bets! But don't be so generous, if you lose all here, I won't be broken by my aunt when I go back to Windy City! Don't scare my cousin, my cousin can't help but be scared!"

Lin Ke smiled and said, "Will I lose?" He turned around and looked at the four glittering big words not far away - War Gambling House, his heart was full of contempt, no matter what kind of big man you have behind you, the master will earn the first pocket money from you, hum!

Lin Ke strode to the end of the line and quietly lined up in a long line, carrying three bags of money into his arms and pretending to store them, but in fact he received the ring of the middle finger of his right hand, which was a method agreed upon by Lin Ke and several people in private, at least so that others would not easily notice that they had a space ring.

The line was really long, but Lin Ke was very interested, just as the flow of people rubbed forward a little bit, the sky was getting darker, the people in front of him gradually decreased, and the number of people behind him gradually increased, even if night fell, the gambling house with the magic lamp was still brightly lit.

By the time it was really his turn, a long time had passed, and he felt tired with his physique, but he refused the kindness of Neil and the others to replace him, insisting on lining up by himself, plus rejecting Hubert's persuasion again and again, the process of queuing was not very boring.

"Hello guest, which candidate do you bet on?" the waiter was polite.

"It's worth a hundred gold coins to buy Cohen in Windy City, Lilith in Windy City is worth a hundred gold coins, and Cher in Windy City is worth six hundred gold coins," Lin Ke said lightly, ignoring Hubert who was beside him like a mourner.

"Okay, do you pay the gold coin or the golden ticket," the waiter was neither surprised nor questioned.

"Gold coins," Lin Ke threw four large bags of gold coins in front of the waiter, and then turned back to Hubert and said, "Cousin, we have to find you to eat during this time." ”

Hubert "......"
