Chapter 238: Aphrodite's Guild (9)
Although this kind of thing is not very common, everyone is a mage, and naturally they have all seen it, even if they have not seen it alive, at least they have seen it dead - there are many of them in the Holy See's Alien Museum, all of which are famous demon specimens hunted by the Holy Knights or Demon Hunters, even if they have not seen the dead, at least they have seen the drawings, and the erudite enlightenment course of the Western mage begins with the introduction of these aliens, and the first lesson is to introduce the famous Mr. Demon and Miss Demon. They are the spokesmen of evil, the ambassadors of depravity, the murderous cover ads, the vicious leaflets...... In a word, as long as it can be related to the negative expression of human beings, it will be covered on their heads.
Of course, this is just the Holy See's propaganda for ordinary people, and the mages naturally have their own unique understanding of demons, for example, demons do not live in hell, that place is the territory of ghosts, and the powerful ghost king is no worse than the demon king, and he will not tolerate the demon king crossing into hell to develop the territory, as if any demon dares to run to the world to occupy the mountain, he will definitely be hacked to death. Demons live in their own world, and they are divided into many subspecies, just like the whites, blacks, yellows, and reds in the world, each subspecies has its own continent and its own country, and the history of demons is far longer than that of human beings, and now it has developed a civilization that is no less than that of human beings, the country is well organized, and there are also constant disputes between countries, but the direction of their mainstream civilization is different from that of human beings. In terms of mechanical technology, it is developing towards a steam civilization. If we compare the development of science and technology and civilization alone, in fact, the development level of humans and demons is the most similar between the worlds.
In order to maintain his status and power, he secretly implemented a steam civilization guidance plan, using the passage with the demon world (which is what they call hell) to introduce steam civilization to the world and vigorously develop steam machinery. If the plan succeeds, the Holy See will not only restore its former glory, but even take the opportunity to build a theocratic European empire and realize the long-standing dream of European unity. But as we all know, the steam civilization was interrupted and died before it could grow, and mankind embarked on a completely different path of development.
Nowadays, the demon is still a street rat that shouts and beats when it comes out of the world, although the mages can raise a few demon servants and the like in private, but no one dares to show it openly, because this is an act that is expressly prohibited by the regulations of the mage association. Therefore, the mages were really surprised to see that Aphrodite Clubhouse blatantly placed a demon at the door to welcome guests, so much so that they were shocked to Cheng DΓΉ - this is a bad act of blatantly ignoring the regulations of the Mage Association, which is tantamount to challenging the authority of the Mage Association, and if someone goes to the International Jurists Committee to file a complaint about this, then the Australian Mage Association will be unlucky. The International Commission of Jurists has always been unstiny in wielding a stick to teach lessons to those who dare to challenge the authority of the Mage Association.
But Nick 61 Milo ignored this, and greeted quite warmly: "Namia, do you miss me, young master!" The female demon Namia had already come closer as she spoke, took Nicole 61 Milo's hand and said with a smile: "I think about Young Master Banderas every day, I am afraid that Master Banderas has too many beauties around him, and he has long forgotten about me, a poor little devil." Nicole 61 Milo put her backhand around Namia's unbearable thin waist, kissed the devil's face first, and then laughed with satisfaction: "The beauties in the world are not as lovely as you, a little devil, today you have to serve the young master and me, as well as my brothers, you have to let them have fun." Namiya covered her mouth and smiled: "Look at what you said, Young Master Banderas, when you enter this door, you are naturally our honored guest, don't you know, which distinguished guest dares to say that he has not had a good time here?" I would like to serve Master Banderas, but I am afraid that you will not have time to look at me more often when you see the surprise that has been prepared for you. I surprised you, but President Kubrick personally arranged it, and I will keep it to your satisfaction! β
"You're talking a little too much, I'd like to see what surprises can keep to my satisfaction." Nicole 61 Milo's eyes rolled and fell on Yong Bowen, and when he saw him standing alone, he was obviously regarded as his follower like everyone else, so he didn't say anything. In her opinion, it is better for Golm to be left out in the cold and unnoticed. It's just that she hasn't finished her mind yet, Namiya in her arms has slipped out, twisted her waist and walked to Yong Bowen in two or three steps, and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Cleveland, the * division of the Principality of Andorra, you are the first guest of honor, my name is Namiya 61 Baal, I am the public relations manager of the club, please take care of the business of the club." As he spoke, he took out a fragrant business card from the placket of the low-cut dress, and also took out a fragrant business card between the snow-white twin peaks, and handed it to Yong Bowen with both hands.
Yong Bowen took a look, and it was printed with the name, address, and contact information of Aphrodite's clubhouse, and then Namiya's name and phone number - the demon Daqing was an old/bustard in the clubhouse, and he was in charge of pulling the skin/strip.
Demon Elder/Bustard, this famous clubhouse is really extraordinary.
Yong Bowen nodded with a smile, forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart, and put away the business card. Over there, Nicole 61 Milo was afraid that Yong Bowen would show his feet, and before the two of them could answer, he had already shouted impatiently, "Hurry up and lead the way, young master, I still want to see what kind of surprise was prepared for me, I dare to let you boast like this, if you can't satisfy the young master, then your boasting mouth will come in handy." β
Namiya knows who is the protagonist in this group of people, and it is a political task to deal with Yong Bowen and others, these guys are all poor and sour likes, and if you want to remove this opportunity, it will be difficult to step into the door of the club in the future, so you don't have to take special care, and Nirio is different, he is a repeat customer who has come to play several times, and he is generous and bold, and he can play two or three times at a time, such a high roller naturally has to focus on hospitality. At that moment, the female demon put aside Yong Bowen and turned to Nicole 61 Milo's side, took her arms, and pulled her inside.
Walking all the way, I saw that there were small huts of different heights on both sides, if you put it in the past, it was some blacksmith shops, warehouses, livestock pens and other places, but now they have changed their roles, each hanging different signs, what beast style, bloodthirsty temptation, human ghost love and the like, it always makes people shudder. In the meantime, there are ghosts and goblins infested, all of them are designated as aliens by the mage association, and there are clear rules for killing, if there are mages harboring and adopting, according to the regulations, they will be sentenced to the crime of alienation, with a light fine, and a heavy responsibility to expel the mage association, but now these aliens are all serving in this club. It's just that I don't know where the Australian Mage Association has collected so many aliens, so I can't see them all on the battlefields of Eastern Europe.
Entering the main tower, I saw that the main hall has been changed to welcome the door, during which the decoration is beautiful, exquisite, dozens of women wearing cheongsam stand in two rows along both sides of the carpet, straight to the front desk, when I see everyone entering from the door, bow in unison, "Welcome!" "If you look closely, you can see that they have pointed ears, snow-white skin, and red eyes, but they are first-class creatures.
Walking to the front desk, Namiya stepped forward and said, "These are the VIPs of the observation group!" β
The waiter standing at the front desk immediately took out a few paper pockets from under the counter and handed them to Namiya.
There were labels with their names on their pockets, and Namiya handed them over to each person according to the labels, and then led everyone up to the elevator to the fifth floor. According to the plan of the Australian Mage Association, everyone in the observation group will stay in the Aphrodite Club tonight, so everyone is provided with accommodation, and Namiya arranges for the waiters on the fifth floor to lead everyone to their respective rooms. Before parting, Nicole 61 Milo glanced at Yong Bowen. Yong Bowen didn't know what he meant, so he had to nod vaguely and followed the attendant who led the way to room 527.
This room is a suite, if it is placed in a five-star hotel in the outside world, at least it is the level of a presidential suite, and many of the furnishings and utensils in the process are application magic items, which is more fun than those ordinary presidential suites. The waiter helped Yong Bowen turn on the lamp, put away his belongings, briefly introduced a few words, and then bowed and withdrew.
Yong Bowen looked around inside and outside the room, and saw that there were many items on the coffee table, including an introduction sheet introducing the details of the club, a sign indicating his identity, a door-to-door service project, etc., so he sat on the sofa, picked up the introduction sheet and pretended to take a closer look, but the left hand hidden beside him quietly opened the magic circle detector in his pocket.
The introduction sheet first introduced the basic information of the club, including the official business date, capital ownership, number of employees, service search, etc., these Yongbo articles have heard from Wu Liana, and after a cursory glance, he turned over to see the detailed introduction.
There are a total of six floors on the ground of this club, except for the reception hall on the first floor, the other five floors are guest rooms, and those who come here to play are either rich or expensive, so the three to six rooms are luxury suites, and only the second floor is a standard room, which is mainly for the guests to live in. The real core of the club is underground, starting from the basement floor, which are catering, performances, casinos, baths, auctions, competitions and special service areas, each additional layer requires different levels of identity, generally come to play mages, at most they can go down to the bath floor, and from the auction floor area, they have to be VIP customers, if they want to go down to the competition area, they have to be senior VIP customers, and if they want to go down to the special service area of the three floors, they have to be VIP members. The introduction sheet has a detailed description of each area, but the three-story special service area is simply named, and I don't know what special services are provided, but at this level, I think I can't enjoy it even if I have money. Turning this page, the next step is to introduce the criteria for identifying different customers. The club implements an internal membership system, according to the general level of the mage association, the higher the level can enter the area, want to become a member, you need at least two senior members with the qualification of orange badge or above as introducers, and to pay joint and several liability for all the actions of the new members introduced. These are just regular customers who need to spend at least $1 million per month at the clubhouse to maintain a general membership that is eligible for basic services. Only those who spend $10 million at one time are eligible to apply for basic VIP membership, and after becoming a basic VIP member, they need to spend at least $3 million per month at the club. After obtaining the basic VIP membership, the cumulative consumption of 80 million US dollars can be qualified to become a senior VIP member, and one of the basic conditions for becoming a VIP member is to first be a senior VIP member, and at the same time, you must also be a senior mage above the blue emblem, and more than two VIP members are required to be introducers when applying.
When Yong Bowen took stock of his net worth, he felt that he had a lot of money, and he was among the billionaires, and he didn't even know how to spend it for a while, but when he arrived at this Aphrodite club, he realized that his little money was not enough for ordinary members to spend for a year. Take a look at the level of consumption in this place, just look at the in-room menu. The cheapest flame flower tea is a pot for a hundred dollars! It is clear from the introduction that this flower tea is cultivated from the flame flower, a specialty of hell, which can concentrate and refresh the mind, improve the meditation effect, and enhance the speed of mana condensation. As for the magic dragon steak, fried little devil, barbecue tree spirit and the like, let alone ordinary people, even Yong Bowen, a mage, has never heard of it, and there is probably no same raw material that is a simple product of the human world.
After looking at the introduction sheet, the circle detector has also detected the entire room, and it can confirm that there are no suspicious circles in the room, as for whether modern equipment such as hidden cameras are installed, it is not clear. Yong Bowen is not in a hurry to put Aliyun out of the computer, after all, since this place is a money-making machine painstakingly created by the Australian Mage Association, it must be extremely comprehensive in terms of security, and she can only put her in danger if she takes the liberty of getting Aliyun out, anyway, she has it stored on the net disk, and she can't feel the passage of time, so she doesn't need to worry.
Yong Bowen opened the paper pocket given by the front desk again, and there were three boxes in the pocket, a delicately packaged gift box, a wooden box, and a metal box. The smallest wooden box, the size of a cigarette, put it on the top, open it to see, inside is a VIP gold card, there is a delicate paper sign on it, written to thank the observers for their care and love for Australia, come to Australia to inspect the terrorist attack, and give each observer a special VIP membership of the Aphrodite Club, enjoy a half-price discount on all services within three months, and can go down to the special service area that VIP members can enter. That is, the top floor of the special service area on the third floor. After three months, it is automatically converted to a basic VIP membership.
The metal box contained 500,000 chips and an electronic voucher card, and all the services that observers enjoyed in the clubhouse tonight were free of charge, and they could use the voucher card. Of course, you can't gamble for free and unlimited in the casino, you can use the 500,000 chips that you give, if you win, even the 500,000 belongs to you, if you lose 500,000, you still want to gamble again, then you can only pay for yourself.
The third box was the largest, long and flat, the size of two palms, with a beautifully sealed envelope pinned to it. I opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, unfolded it, and the first sentence that caught my eye was "......Honorable Your Excellency Master Modoc 61 Cleveland" was different from the previous two gifts from all members of the Observation Mission, and this letter clearly indicated that this gift was given to Modoc 61 Cleveland alone, or that each member of the Observation Mission had such a unique gift of his own. The content of the letter is very simple, roughly expressing gratitude to Modoc for coming to Australia to investigate the terrorist attack in his busy schedule, and hearing that Modoc's recent research on the possibility of the reversal of type 4 magic particles has come to a halt due to the lack of necessary practical materials. This Modoc lacks a real yΓ n material called the Shikla Blood Fury Stone, produced in the demon world, and has always been monopolized and sold by the demon world specialty company under the Russian Mage Association, not to mention the high value, and it is always out of stock, according to the Russian Mage Association, this thing is also a scarce material in the demon world, and the collection is not different, so every time there is a stock, it is sold by auction. The Kingdom of Andorra itself is small and weak, and the Mage Association is far inferior to other countries in terms of financial and human resources, so at each auction, it can only watch the much-needed real materials being auctioned off by others, so that the real products are halted for as long as a year. The Australian Mage Association's gift this time is tantamount to a charcoal in the snow, and if this is the real Modoc, most of them will be extremely grateful for it. Although Yong Bowen didn't know the inside story, but seeing the Australian Mage Association sending it out so solemnly, he could guess that this thing must be urgently needed by Moddock, and he had also seen an introduction to the Hikla Blood Fury Stone on the website, the value of this thing is comparable to a diamond, and the Australian Mage Association gave it such a big box, and he really spared no expense in order to sell the members of the observation group. I think this is the surprise that Namiya said at the gate.
Yong Bowen was about to open the box to see how many Shikra Blood Anger Stones were in the box, when he suddenly heard the doorbell ringing, got up and opened the door to take a look, but saw Namiya leading a person standing outside the door, this person was short in stature, his whole body was wrapped in a black cloak, and he couldn't see it, but judging from the demonic energy overflowing from his whole body, it should be a monster.
As soon as she saw Yong Bowen open the door and come out, Namia smiled and said, "Your Excellency Master Cleveland, are you still satisfied with this room?" β
"Very good." Yong Bowen replied lightly, "Is there something wrong?" β
"This is Anphil, the clubhouse's nightmaiden for you." Seeing Yong Bowen's expression, Namia pulled the short man in black behind her to her, "Anfil, call someone quickly." As he spoke, he lifted the cloak and hat to reveal the appearance of a man.
