Chapter 269: Metaphysics is the skill of gambling
"Single!"
"Double!"
There are two mustachioed dealers waiting for all the gamblers to finish betting, so they unveil the dice Gu in a mysterious way: "It's a double!"
After the "Hundred Years' War", gambling gradually became popular, and many neutral countries also opened luxury casinos similar to Spitane, and when Lilith was not in the imperial capital, she used to like to visit casinos for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info her hobbies are a bit different, she doesn't like to gamble, but she likes to see the moment the dice Gu is revealed, all kinds of people reveal their lives.
It's the same everywhere in a casino, with some people clutching their heads and falling to their knees, while others are so excited that they almost jump on the table. The casino was probably one of the few places where nobles and commoners could live in peace, and at this time the class gap seemed to be non-existent, and everyone was staring at the dice in the dice.
Unfortunately, the people who fell to their knees with their heads covered were two of her men, Byrne and Senna.
Guessing odds and evens is one of the most popular and easiest ways to play in the casino, perfect for newcomers, and Bourne and Senna quickly become so immersed in the excitement that they forget the purpose of their trip.
"Unbelievable!"
"That woman has won fifteen in a row!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, and in one corner of the crowd, a veiled woman yawned and rubbed her eyes with a somewhat boring yawn and a table full of chips. The gamblers who found out about it early and followed her bets were ecstatic, and those who realized it later regretted it.
Like Byrne and Senna.
"It seems that the two of them have lost six or seven games in a row!"
"Stay away from them, beware of their bad luck!"
The people moved to the sides in unison, completely isolating Byrne from Senna. Gambling is a very metaphysical thing, fanatical gamblers firmly believe that there are goddesses of luck and doom in this world, and here are two men kneeling on the ground and hanging their heads, afraid of being targeted by doom.
Bourne and Senna were naturally unconvinced, and they also wanted the favor of Miss Luck, so before the next game began, they came to the woman wearing the veil.
That's right, they plan to snatch love from the sword.
Byrne continued to play the role of the villain: "Hey, I've been paying attention to you since just now, you should be out of the woods!"
The casino fell silent.
Fifteen wins in a row is unprecedented in a casino, and it's not just Bourne and Senna who are so skeptical. And out of the thousands, is a taboo in the casino, once out of the thousands is discovered, even if you don't lose your life, you have to withdraw the skin. Only then did the gamblers take a closer look at the womanβher exposed skin was fair and delicate, and her body was long, and although her face was covered with a veil, she knew that she was a rare beauty with her toes.
Some people have begun to wonder what the Augustinians will do with her.
Spitane's casinos are all Augustine's property, in addition to the luxury casino opposite the Grand Arena at the entrance, there is also a small casino that is convenient for the big nobles to entertain.
"Out of the old man?"
The woman's tone was confused: "What does that mean? I'm sorry, it's the first time I've come to the casino on someone else's recommendation." β
Actually a newcomer?
The gamblers were even more incredulous - what a stroke of good fortune it had to take to win fifteen games in a row! But there was also a lot of talk among some of the old gamblers, most of whom were regular customers of the casino, and had never seen this woman in the casino.
"Don't pretend, you must have used some method to cheat!" Senna also asked the other party aggressively.
"You two idiots!"
Then, Byrne and Senna were hit in the head, and before they could react, they were pulled aside by the menacing Lilith. If it weren't for the secret observation, she would never have imagined that these two guys would be so stupid.
"Have you forgotten what you're here for?"
"Big ...... Miss, of course we haven't forgotten, we sneaked into the downtown area of Jindu to inquire about Princess Veronica's whereabouts!"
"Senna is right, we're just playing tricky gamblers!"
Byrne thought that their secret undercover was going well, and that the casino guys had taken them for ordinary gamblers. The fly in the ointment is that all the funds given to them by Lilith have been lost.
Senna said solemnly, "Please rest assured, we will go and gamble back the lost chips!"
"You've become a real gambler!"
"Did you just say Princess Veronica?"
When everyone turned around, they found that the woman who had been wearing the veil had also left the crowd, and they had come behind them at some point. When Lilith saw her coming, she thought that she was dissatisfied with the framing of Bourne and Senna, after all, among the nobles, there are also those who value reputation very much, and it is not a pleasant thing to be framed by others.
"I'm sorry, my men were reckless!" Lilith solemnly apologized to the other party, "But, do you know Princess Veronica?"
"Of course. β
The woman nodded: "She's in a safe place now." β
She quickly guessed the identity of the girl in front of her - "You're Lilith, right?"
Lilith was stunned, and Byrne and Senna had already drawn their swords, Lilith had been wearing a mask when she went out, and this strange woman actually directly told her identity. As Prince Richard's most powerful supporter, she was never well received in Spitane, and if her identity with Prince Richard was spread, it was even very likely to lead to assassination.
Could this woman be a killer who has been lurking for a long time?
"A friendly reminder to you, don't point your sword at me......"
The woman's face was as usual, her gaze wandered, and the blade of the sword in the hands of Bourne and Senna suddenly folded into several pieces, and the two of them were startled, and the two of them trembled, and the hilt of the sword fell to the ground, and the sound also attracted the attention of the gamblers-"This is equivalent to declaring war on the whole of Horutia." β
Although the sword is not a famous sword, it was also tailor-made for them by the blacksmith Lilith knew, and it can directly break the sharpened blade into several pieces...... And they didn't even realize when the other party made a move.
What is this woman's abilities?
"You're Helena Murphy. Lilith immediately guessed the woman's identity.
There are only two people in Spitane who know Veronica's whereabouts and can say such things at the same time - one is the eldest prince Albert, and the other is Helena Murphy of the Council of the Six Generals.
"Looks like you've heard of me?"
Mrs. Murphy was surprised: "But I've heard a lot of rumors about you. β
When investigating Lin Qiu's experience, she discovers that Lilith has played an extremely important role. Most people think that Lin Qiu met Lilith at the Wind Furnace Academy and was drawn into Prince Richard's power by her, but in fact, the two met much earlier - as early as the port of Solan in the Byron Empire, the two joined forces to resist the attack of the Vikings.
However, what is more interesting is that the agent said that the two were suspected of having contact with the former Knight of the Round Table, Cyvera, and did not know how to survive the man who had destroyed the Second Kingdom.
She had long been interested in the successor of the Lilith Chamber of Commerce.
"This is not the place to talk, come with me. β
Mrs. Murphy held out her hand and invited.
