Chapter 91, Casino
The Flying Fish Bar has a total of six floors, the third floor and the higher place are the office areas of the Church of the God of Luck, including warehouses, altars, lecture halls, auditoriums and other rooms, and the third floor is a commercial area, the first floor is a main bar and a ballroom, and the second floor is a casino.
The social order of the Southern Islands is a little chaotic, and all kinds of low-grade businesses are prosperous, except for the mermaid queen's residence, all other ports have wine and wealth to make a living, of which the casino is naturally the highlight.
Casinos are divided into three, six, nine and so on, the least popular is the kind of roadside stalls, the flying fish bar is naturally the highest one, and the casino here has a very special rule - do not sit in the village.
The so-called sitting banker is the person who opens the gambling game. If you win, you take money and lose money, commonly known as the banker. As long as you have excellent skills and your hands are black enough, you will be more profitable than several big ships in a year.
But the banker's money came dirty and dirty, and in order to ensure that he could win, the banker inevitably used some shady means, and from time to time there were lucky gamblers or gamblers who had some skills but were not big enough to walk in through the gate, and then were quietly carried away from the back door and thrown into the sea to destroy the corpse.
The casino at Flying Fish Bar doesn't sit on the bank, only takes a cut - no matter who wins or loses, every table is over, and the winners take a tenth of the money they make.
The profit of this is naturally less than that of the banker, but it is better to be comfortable and not to cause any trouble. Even if someone loses and goes bankrupt, the person who gambles with him is too ruthless and black, and it has nothing to do with the casino.
But in this way, it offended the colleagues in the rivers and lakes - the so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, when everyone is white, you are black, of course, it is not good, when everyone is black, you are white, it is not good.
Today, the thin man who drank too much and wanted to try his luck was instigated by someone from another casino, and he also fell for a little hint spell.
How did Panda know about these things? He and Giacomo were chatting in the corner of the first floor of the Flying Fish Bar when a big man hurried over and reported it to Giacomo, so he heard it.
Listening to his subordinates' report, Giacomo's eyebrows furrowed.
"How's that man?" he asked.
"If our men hadn't followed, they would have been killed. The big man replied, "He was stabbed, but fortunately he was not injured, but the children in the family are already dead." ”
Giacomo's eyebrows twitched, and the panda's eyes shrank.
"Are you sure who did it?" Giacomo asked.
"That swordsman has confessed that it is Sea Breeze Fang. ”
Giacomo shook his head: "It's not enough to have his confession, you need more conclusive evidence." ”
The big man nodded and hurried out.
Giacomo was silent for a while, then picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine for the panda: "I'm sorry, it's rare to have a fellow visitor, and it turned out to be a joke." ”
"It's no joke. Panda replied, "It's a bit rude to say, but since I've met it, it's time to see it." ”
Giacomo smiled reluctantly and sighed: "Sea Breeze Fang is a gambling house run by the fishmen, and the business is good, and the chef is especially good. They are mixed with a little shamanic medicine in the gambler's meal, which can make people feel comfortable, and they are not dark when they sit in the bank, so they are a first-class gambling house here. ”
"It doesn't sound like that," Panda said. ”
"So I asked them to make sure again. Giacomo said, "Although our church is not a decent gentleman, killing the wrong person is a joke for our peers." ”
"Human life is at stake, and there is no room for negligence. Panda said.
"It's a big deal for us to do it with Sea Breeze. If this is true, then do it. If there were other people behind it...... I'm afraid that we will suddenly jump out and pick up a cheap one. Giacomo said, "This kind of thing is not nothing, be careful." ”
The ways of thinking of the two sides are obviously not on the same circuit, but it is really strange that the words can be matched.
After a while, Giacomo took the panda upstairs to check out the casino.
In fact, there is no difference between their casinos and other places, nothing more than gambling on dice, gambling cards, gambling cards, etc., among which the dice are the most simple, thrown out, the size of red and black, not ambiguous at all; the cards have a little more tricks, three points rely on gambling and seven points rely on fraud; and the cards are more high-end, there is not enough mental arithmetic skills, even if the luck is good, you can be pit full of blood.
Of course, those who have the courage to gamble on cards have some ability, and the layman does not say that he wins, just to see the more than 600 cards that are colorful, his eyes are spent.
The so-called gambling cards are to choose 50 of the more than 600 cards to form a deck competition. There are several specific ways to play, some are similar to Hearthstone, some are similar to Yu-Gi-Oh, and some are similar to Magic - in the original "New World" game, all three links were seriously authorized by the original copyright owner, as for the ...... in this world Even if all the lawyers and courts on the earth are combined, they don't have the ability to come here to fight an infringement lawsuit.
When the panda went upstairs, he happened to see two beautiful women gambling cards. There were no chips in front of them, just a tunic thrown by the shorter-haired one beside him, and the longer-haired upper body on the opposite side wearing only a short vest.
"What is this bet on?" the panda vaguely guessed a few points, but couldn't help but ask.
"Bet on clothes. Giacomo explained, "These two are both of a bit of status but not very high, and there are contradictions in their lives, and today they are considered to be on the line." They all boast that they are proficient in arithmetic and have quite attainments in the field of gambling cards, so they have to use this to score their superiority. Every time you lose a game, you have to take off a piece of clothing for the opponent. ”
Panda looked at it and frowned: "Then what if I lose five or six rounds?"
Giacomo smiled: "What else can we do? We provide a sheet and walk away wrapped in the sheet." ”
The panda also laughed: "That's funny!"
"If you want to find it interesting, you can give it a try. Giacomo said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to gamble." I'll arrange for someone else to play a simple game with you, so that you can pass the time. ”
"Forget it, my luck is not good, it's a pity to waste it here. ”
As she spoke, the short-haired woman sneered and issued the cards in her hand one after another, but it formed a chain of games, and the opponent's points were deducted in one breath.
The long-haired woman sighed, shook her head, muttered a few words, stood up and unbuckled her belt, took off her half-length pants, and threw them to the other party.
The climate in the Southern Islands is warm, and people generally don't dress much. It's hot again, and there's not much she can take off all over her body. If you take off this one, you will almost reach the point of exhaustion, and if you take it off again, you will be gone.
She herself was a little hesitant, frowning and not wanting to gamble anymore, but the short-haired woman opposite sneered, and her sarcastic words were like flying knives, stabbing her heart. In the end, the long-haired woman couldn't help it after all, sat down and continued to gamble.
In this game, she was lucky, and finally won back a city and won back a dress.
Just as the two sides were about to continue gambling, the big man from before hurriedly ran over again and reported to Giacomo: "It's confirmed, it's indeed Haifengfang." ”
Giacomo nodded, greeted the guests, and went upstairs unhurriedly.
"Gather people. When he stepped onto the third floor, he said to one of the paladins guarding the stairs, "Sea Breeze Fang wants to deal with us, so let's kill them tonight!"
