"Fortunately. ”

Alexei watched as Zarok stabbed his knife in the corner of the table, his movements with a different kind of chic, a kind of freedom that could not be seen in Gruj.

The blade trembled slightly, and the two looked at each other, Zarok's eyes full of provocation. He hooked his fingers and said, "How about it, let's play with both hands, you have the final say on how you want to play." ”

Alexei smiled lightly: This is probably what ordinary people say, the ignorant are fearless.

Seeing that Alexei did not refuse, Zarok replied by default.

"I don't usually bully imps, you brought it on yourself. ”

As he spoke, he smoothed the folds on his puff sleeves, and his capable subordinates flattered and lit a cigarette. Taking a deep breath, the smoke filled, and the two dice stayed under the flickering sparks, sticking to everyone's eyes like spider webs, looking forward to seeing what to talk about in the coming days. At the very least, the gamblers around them began to heist and ask the mage to take the fight.

"Hey, newcomer, come on, bet on him. ”

"Don't be afraid, newcomer, don't be afraid that you will lose too badly, we can't find anything worse than you, hahahaha......"

"Hey, don't you want to shrink back, why don't you speak?"

"Listen to me, new boy, hurry up and wash your ass and get into the hook bar, and bet with Zarok, ha, I'm afraid it's another one who doesn't know the height of the sky and wants to sell his ass to pay off his debts. ”

The crowd laughed and laughed until Zarok pressed down.

"Stop. He exhaled a smoke ring in a comfortable way, and with a casual move, the two boxers grabbed Gog's collar and sent him to Zarok's hand with a look of surprise on his face.

As cigarette butts sizzle on the flesh and skin, and the twisting of the scalp is accompanied by the singing of painful whispers, the gambler's voice suddenly decreases a lot, and only some whispers remain, buzzing in the ears like mosquitoes, which are annoying.

"Just a dog, you don't mind, do you?"

He bit the filter, and the cigarette butt changed direction.

"Of course not. "How can I be angry with the dead," Alexei added silently in his heart, looking at Zarok with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Lovely Ducat......

I really can't hate it.

"Yes, you're a bit knowledgeable. Zarok pretended to caress the burn on his cheeks, turned his head and asked, "How's it going, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. ”

"Does it hurt?" his nails slashed at the blackened skin and dug straight into the bright red flesh.

The freshly bulging blister bursts and clear pus comes out.

"Shhh...... Yes...... It doesn't hurt, sir. ”

"That's good, don't say I've treated you badly, dogtail grass, traitor, you should look like a traitor, drag him down, cut off one of his hands, and make an example. ”

"Wait. Alex Tuckles tapped on the table, "When are we starting?"

"I forgot, you're holding the rope around his neck now. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, I know, but what are you!"

Zarok slammed the table, and the two fighters behind him also made a hard smashing motion at the mage.

"I have to bet on something to know, and I haven't even revealed the winner. Cut off his hand, and you'll have to pay twice as much. ”

"You think you've won?"

Zarok hugged his stomach and smiled: "Hahaha, I'm laughing to death." ”

"You say he's not funny. He asked questions of the gamblers around him.

"It's funny!"

The whole gambling house burst into laughter, and a few of the most skilled gamblers even pretended to be harlequins, ignoring the dirt of the mud, and rolled on the ground with laughter.

Gog's face was buried deeply, and he didn't dare to look at Zarok, let alone give Alexey a look for help.

This is the first confrontation between the old master and the new master, and he is nothing more than a victim who can be discarded at any time.

I made the black stork lose face, they couldn't spare me, I made Alexey lose face, he won't save me.

To be enlightened is only one hand, and it is only one hand.

The panic in Gog's heart was squeezed out by the sense of luck he had deliberately instigated, and he suddenly realized that the end of losing a hand was really a miracle of the Holy Spirit's appearance, and there was no better ending.

At least I'm alive, right.

This time, the rest of the time turned into torment again. He saw that the bet between the two was about to open, and began to worry about whether he could successfully break a hand.

What to do?

I want to tell them out loud that I accept the punishment. But when it comes to his mouth, he can't say anything.

Gog is not a tough guy. He was timid, he couldn't speak.

Am I still expecting anything?

He only knew that a mage could release flames from his hands, but he didn't know how a mage could gallop at the table.

And Kuaishou Zarok, who is in Kherson, is a famous thousand-handed, invincible in the major gambling houses, and no one can find out about his small means. Legend has it that as long as Kuaishou is willing, he can't lose.

Can a myth that it is impossible to lose be shattered by magic?

I don't know. Except for his new master, no one present felt that the mage had any chance of winning, not even him.

So what was I expecting?

Looking forward to my head being stuck with a bamboo pole and hanging high in the doorway of the gambling house?

No.

Gog was confused.

He heard the laughter in his ears gradually stop, and Zarok also wiped the water stains from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and laughed very heartily: "Arrogance." I like it, though. ”

He sat down slowly and lit a second cigarette: "Who doesn't learn a lesson when they're young?" Whew, I'll tell you good news, little ghost, I'm not going to kill them all, as long as you remember to wipe your head later, it may be a little hot, but it won't kill you. ”

"Lend you good words. ”

The game was about to begin, and the two fighters began to chase people as usual, shouting and shouting for the gamblers to disperse.

"Hey, don't worry. ”

Zarok squinted slightly and made a booing motion, and said: "I'm happy today, whether it's a new or an old friend, we have to take good care of our business." Don't lose sight of one or the other, let's come together, lose and count mine. ”

As soon as they said this, they all understood that this was a signal that Kuaishou was not ready to show mercy to his subordinates, so they stopped their posture of chasing people and stood back at Zarok's side. The gamblers, who were originally depressed and thought they would miss a good show, immediately burst into laughter, cheered and re-surrounded, looked at both sides in Taichung, and looked expectantly at where the young, inexperienced chicks were ready to bet.

In their eyes, this is a gamble with no surprises. The weight of victory is already layered in Zarok's hand, and he only needs to reach out and dial it, and victory will be in his pocket.

And the same is true of the dividends that Zarok promised.

It's really a no-brainer. They laughed and weighed how many taels of fresh meat Alexe's whole body could take, and estimated in their hearts how many coppers they could share.

Only the poor man, who had just won two handfuls with the mage, did not come closer, but just straightened his neck on tiptoe and looked inside.

"Have you decided, then? What are we going to play?"

"Feel free, that's it. Alexei pointed to the dice on the table, and there was another burst of laughter around him.

"Oh my God, this idiot, what do you see he chose?"

"Oops, I've got my dinner done today. Hey, boy, don't cry when you lose. ”

"What if you scare people away? New kid, don't be afraid, you will be sad for a while if you lose money, if you run away, our big guy will be sad for a while!"

"Hahahaha......"

"How's that, do you regret it? If you want to play a different way, I'll ...... at any time. ”

"No, that's it. ”

Alexey raised his eyes and swept around, and the people he swept over somehow always felt that seeing the mage's eyes seemed to awaken some bad memories in their hearts, this feeling, like a mouse seeing a cat, made people shudder, inexplicably got goosebumps, lips opened and closed, but could not make a sound.

It seems to be the ticking sound of the second hand on the clock dial passing a square, and the connecting gears.

In an instant, the air at the scene seemed to be emptied in an instant, and no sound could be made in the oppressive space, and the still crowd was dumbfounded in unison with a kind of synchronizing to a terrible tacit understanding, and the switch between extreme stillness and extreme movement was so strange that it seemed to be cut off from the previous frame, but before Zarok noticed that something was wrong, more intense laughter had arrived, but this laughter, no matter how it sounded, had a bit of a muddy taste, slippery, as if it was covering up the previous embarrassment and emptiness.

"Alright, let's get started. Alexey could not object to Zaroc, he unfastened his wallet, and several ducats were already on the table.

"Boom. ”

The throats of the gamblers in the audience were all wriggling, and the fluid secreted between the mouths and tongues quickly overflowed the entire mouth. The golden light on the table reflected the ugliness of the crowd, and they looked at each other with excitement so that their eyes almost burst out.

"Good boy, Ducat, I saw Ducat ......"

"Good boy, really rich. ”

"I haven't woken up yet, who is going to bring Ducatt here, and it's all at once, let me count, let me count ......"

"Is it true, look, Kuaishou, take a look, is it true!"

An anxious gambler hurried to pounce, as if the gold coins on the table were already in his pocket.

The two experienced fighters naturally did not let the mud legs who had never seen the world rush into the gambling game, they walked faster than the crowd and swung their fists, and the first unlucky guy did not say a word, and was knocked to the ground with a punch, unconscious.

When the gamblers on the periphery saw the tragic situation of the pioneer, they stopped and silently took two steps back, so as to draw a line with the fallen guy.

"Don't worry, everyone. It's true. ”

Zajaro picked one up, and he looked at the crowd that had suddenly retreated in a large circle, and then at the calm mage, a little uncertain in his heart.

"You're confident?"

"Didn't you know I was confident from the beginning?"

"I forgot. Zajaro snorted and reached out to grab the dice in his hand, "Do you want to check?"

"No, you can play, but you can't win. ”

"Hmph. ”

"Big or small, or double!"

"Small. ”

"yes, you're going to lose, man. Zajaro threw it, and the two dice were already spinning rapidly in the air, and then, an empty cylinder suddenly shrouded it from bottom to top, from left to right, and squeaked, the wooden tube collided with the tabletop, and the gurgling sound was still endless, which was the rotation of the dice in the cylinder, and it did not stop until half a minute later.

"Do you want to uncover it? It's too late for you to regret it now. Zarok had a playful smile on his lips. Feel everything is normal, no accidents, with his twenty years of experience, victory, has been in the bag.

"Look how well I treat you, and you can still swap at any time before the dice are revealed. ”

"You're trying to make me guess how many dice you have hidden in your sleeve? I'm sorry, Zarok, ignorance is your fatal wound. Although your skills are indeed excellent in the mortal world, the end of failure is already doomed, so why not reveal it now?"

Alexey's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, his eyes looking downward, never glancing at the barrel containing the dice from beginning to end. Indeed, if you judge only from the mage's expression, movements, and even his unequivocal attitude, there will be no exception to the victory or defeat this time, but ...... Zarok became more and more suspicious of the points in the tube, but he immediately dispelled his doubts. Everything is just a bluff, there is nothing wrong, there is nothing wrong, the original dice are in the palm of his hand, and all the big points he has replaced are big points, all the big points filled with lead! How could he lose? How could he lose......

Out of the corner of his eye, Zarok quickly revealed a little gap between his fingers, yes. His tangled eyebrows were untied again, and his tone became relaxed: "Oh, then let's uncover it." Still, I have a little pity for your gold. Don't worry, I'll keep them as a souvenir for once. ”

"Teach you to learn at a young age, you must know that there are mountains outside the mountains, there are heavens outside the sky, there should be a limit to arrogance, and it is also appropriate to pay some tuition. ”

"How, you lost...... Bar"

"How is that possible!"

He choked in his throat and coughed violently. In the tube he uncovered, a six-point dice lay alone at the bottom of the tube, and another dice was completely shattered into a full cylinder of debris, blown by the wind, not to mention the points, and even the wreckage in the sky did not know where to fly.

"The dice are not even, how can this be counted?"

"One is six, and the other is what time we won, and he should be judged to lose!"

"Hey, it must be that the quality of the dice is too poor, how can you be so careless?"

"Do it all over again, do it all over again!"

Seeing the boiled duck fly out of the pot, several gamblers who were suddenly punctured with their dreams shouted loudly. The crowd was excited, and they shouted unrelentingly, and shouted the earth-shattering sound of the two words.

"I don't mind. ”

"No, I don't. ”

There was a gasp in his voice.

"Since you have this ability, I don't think the result will change no matter how many times we throw. ”

Zarok, who came to his senses, grabbed his throat and stared at the remaining dice in disbelief. Knowing that the gamble was irretrievable, he took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, straightened his waist, and gave a look, and the two fighters behind him immediately untied the three money bags they threw on the table, which were full of Adri, and the total was expected to be hundred.

Although he was very unconvinced, the scoundrel's splashing skin was shameless, and the big leader of the black stork still had face.

The most important thing in the gambling house is the credibility on the surface.

"Skills are not as good as people, I have nothing to say. I didn't expect the Blue Brotherhood to have a capable person who can play dice, but don't be complacent, people have misses, horses have stumbled, and I'm just the weakest one among the black storks. Zarok waved his hand, and Gog was pushed, who looked both sides and realized that the matter was over, and that he was part of the stakes to make up for the lack of money at the table.

That's probably what I'm looking forward to......

Clench your fists.

To be a tramp with a severed hand, or to be a shameful betrayer.

I just want to live.

Gog bowed his head and put away the spoils that belonged to his new master, as his nickname suggested, dogtail, meanly, stoic, and occasionally, he had to learn to flatter.

"But I have the right to know who my fast hand Zarok lost to today. Zarok, staring straight at Alexey, leaned on his dagger fingers like a poisonous snake ready to devour.

"Dead crow. ”

"I remember you, Death Crow. Gruger thought his plan was good, but he was nothing more than a frog at the bottom of the well, and we took West Street to give him face, and the whole of Darune was our black stork sooner or later. You still have him, and none of them can get out. ”

"Maybe it was possible before, but now, hehe, you're just as good at telling jokes as Gruger. Alexei chuckled and shook his head, and said, "Since Gog has already talked to you, I think you know what the purpose of my trip is, lead the way, I don't want to waste time." ”

"Since you insist on using the mantis arm as a car. Zarok drew his knife and threw it away, kicking over the bench at hand.

"So, then, to the crow. There is an infield please. ”
