Chapter 125: The Gambling Game Begins
Hearing this, Simeone seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, and said nervously: "Since you are following the Reinhardt family, you can ask Young Master Long Tide for help." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Do you think I haven't tried? I asked someone to meet with Young Master Long Taide's butler, but I couldn't even do that. After all, a dog is a dog, if there are no teeth, there is no use, and those cold-blooded nobles will not care whether we live or die. ”
After saying so many words, the old man said sharply: "So don't have illusions, you should hurry up and do what I say." What kind of system is it that we are panicking like this now? Our Auston family has not been vegetarian for so many years, and it is not known who will kill the deer when the time comes. ”
After driving Simone and Noshan away, the old man leaned back in his chair and fell asleep for a while, recovering the energy he had just spoken. Then he walked out of the office and scurried into a small room deep in the manor.
This small room looks inconspicuous, but in fact the door is made of iron and wood, and ordinary swords are difficult to hurt, if there is only one, the old man will carry it with him, and no second person can ever enter it.
The old man struggled to open the door and slowly paced in, feeling once again the relentless erosion of the years and his own powerlessness, "Maybe next time I will pass the key to the boy of Noshan." ", he thought to himself.
There was only one shelf in the room, on which were placed a dozen wooden boxes, and the old man approached to carefully distinguish them, and picked out one of them to open the lid. Inside the wooden box was a thin piece of paper with some materials and detailed proportions written on it, and if any expert saw it, he would be amazed as if he had found a treasure, and this piece of paper was written on the recipe for a precious lamp oil.
Ordinary lamp oil naturally does not need to be so troublesome, but those lamp oils with special effects are not so simple to mix, just like a mage arranging a magic circle and studying magic, and it is necessary to repeat the experiment I don't know how many times in order to develop a new and effective formula.
And this shelf displays the various formulas that Alfred Auston has been dealing in oil products for many years, and it is also the foundation of his career.
The old man held this formula in his hand and thought, "I don't believe that the Western Realm Trading Company has just set foot in this industry, is there a better formula in my hand than mine?"
He stood quietly in the room like this, thinking about the possible contingencies and the crooked ways of the Western Realm Trading Houses, making the final preparations.
......
No matter how much people lament "Time, please go slowly." Time always passes inexorably and quietly, never caring about people's feelings. In this way, the time for the start of the gambling game soon came.
On this day, Manny District can be described as a deserted alley, and in the central square of the center, the crowd that has already gathered has surrounded a small piece of land, saying that some people are stretching their necks, waiting for the appearance of the Westside Merchant House and the Auston family.
As for those wealthy businessmen, they naturally refused to squeeze together with those poor and sour men, and they couldn't bear the smell of sweat from a large group of rough men. The surrounding restaurants, teahouses, etc., where there is a place in it is booked, most of these businessmen have precious time, and there is no such leisure as watching the excitement, but the two parties who bet this time are amazing giants in the business community of Shenghui City, no matter who wins or loses, it will cause a major earthquake in the business community of Shenghui City, so many businessmen plan to come to witness it, so as to plan for the future.
Regarding this gamble, the major casinos in Manny District have already opened a handicap, and the bets placed in the past few days are also extremely amazing, as far as the current handicap is concerned, the major casinos are relatively optimistic about the Auston family. After all, it is a time-honored brand that deals in oil products, and the signboard is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not surprising that the odds are slightly higher. However, the Westside Commercial Bank has attracted a lot of popularity by virtue of the four-character headlights that have been hanging on the top floor, although it has been not famous in this industry before, and many people have pressed their belongings on the side of the Western Border Commercial Bank in order to fight for wealth.
With so many people crowded, can it not be lively? It's just that there are many people, and there are many rights and wrongs, and some conflicts erupt in the crowd from time to time. It's just that today the police department sent a lot of people, and when they saw that there was a riot, they went up indiscriminately with a stick, but they barely controlled the scene, but after all, they had limited manpower, and they were tired and sweaty, crying bitterly, and seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, suddenly the people standing on both sides of the street and watching the wind shouted: "It's here! It's here!" It attracted everyone's attention to the distance.
I don't know if it was discussed, or it was unanimous, the Westside Comptoir and the Auston family arrived at the central square at the same time, and there, several notaries and several business bigwigs as notaries had also arrived, in short, everything was ready only to owe the east wind, just waiting for the beginning of the gambling game.
The Westland Trading House was headed by Sasha, followed by several stewards, and a few strong men carrying a wooden shelf, on which was placed a square transparent box with a length of about one meter in height and width, and everyone stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look at it, and talked a lot as they looked.
"What kind of electric light is that square? It doesn't look special? It used to blow so beautifully, I thought it was so ingenious. ”
"Yes, yes, this lamp looks really weird, why does it look like there is no lamp oil in the lampshade? Could it be that the lamp oil is also transparent?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this lamp oil is made from the flesh and blood of Warcraft, how can any Warcraft in this world be transparent?", this is a little knowledgeable.
Leaving aside the Westside Comptoir's here, the Alston family was of course led by Alfred Auston, who did not bring the usual stewards, but was followed by two men and several strong men to carry a large box to the central square.
The two people behind him looked a little strange and quite eye-catching. A monkey with a sharp beak and a thin body, with a pair of big eyes embedded in the small face, dripping and spinning, looks like a shrewd person.
The other one is not so obscene, he is ordinary-looking, the type that can never be found again when thrown into the crowd. There are two most attractive points, the first point is that his eyes are shining, which is quite a bit of a divine light and restrained, and at a glance, you can know that this person's ability is in his eyes. The second point is that the top of his head is already bald, which looks a little ridiculous, but it confirms the idiom: extremely smart, it seems that this person is not a simple person.
