Chapter 61: Gambling
Linton's eyes and nose were oblivious, and he didn't care about the whispers around him. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was completely silent, and it didn't seem like he had any more explanations on the matter, and he always had a harmless smile on his face.
Looking at Linton's attitude of neither admitting nor denying it, a trace of awe-inspiring killing intent flashed in Ewing's eyes, without the slightest concealment, and the corners of Linton's mouth twitched unnaturally.
"Okay, since Linton is here, do you want to make a bet with your cousin?" Looking at Ewing's increasingly cold face and the strange atmosphere among everyone, Marquis Ness had no choice but to quickly divert the topic. Today is your own celebration, not a time to settle accounts.
"Since Cousin Ness has a life, Linton is happy to do it. Linton listened to Marquis Ness's words and nodded immediately.
"Then I don't know which side Linton is optimistic about winning? The golden knight is the 'tiger' of the Count Saco family, and the black knight is the senior knight of the Jones family, I don't know what you think of Linton?"
"Then I'll buy Count Sacco's 'Tiger', 100,000 gold coins!!" After listening to Ness's introduction, Linton said without blinking an eyelid.
"Oh, Linton, you're so confident? That's 100,000 for 100,000, I'll take it." Marquis Ness looked at Sarco Mrod with a happy face, rolled his eyes, and said in a playful tone, as if he could see what agreement had been reached between Linton and Sacco through the 100,000 gold coins that Linton had shown just now.
"Then Ewing also gambled 100,000 gold coins to buy Aino Knight to win, I wonder if His Excellency Linton dares to take it?" Ewing, who was suddenly standing on the side, gathered the hair that was blown by the wind in his ears, and said to Linton lightly, listening to Ewing's tone, he didn't seem to care about the 100,000 gold coins, so that Linton, who always had a smile on his face, looked stunned and slightly ugly.
100,000 gold coins are affordable for a person of Linton's status, after all, even his own fiefdom produces about so much a year, but he also has to spend daily expenses, cultivate henchmen and make some connections that will help him. So 100,000 can still be taken out. But 200,000 gold coins is a bit difficult, after all, Marquis Adeline Como is not the only son of him, if Marquis Adeline knows that he lost 200,000 gold coins in a gambling game, even if he knows that there is a reason for it, I am afraid he will not leave a good impression, even if he once wanted to pass on the title of Marquis of Luca to Linton, I am afraid he will think twice.
And if he loses 200,000 gold coins at once, Linton's own finances will be quite tight, and at that time, he will not be able to give some benefits to his henchmen and make friends with some dignitaries, I am afraid that he will be directly forced out of the competition with his brothers and sisters.
"Haha, since Your Excellency Ewing has such Yaxing, then how can Sacco not accompany him, and His Excellency Ewing took the 100,000 gold coins of Sacco. Looking at the look of embarrassment that flashed on Linton's face, Count Sacco looked up to the sky and interjected.
Hearing that Count Sacco took Ewing's 100,000 gold coins, although Linton still had a warm smile on the surface, he was really relieved in his heart, otherwise he had to take it strongly, otherwise he would lose face if he said it.
"Humph!"
Seeing Linton in a dilemma by himself, a hint of happiness flashed on Ewing's face, as if he was in a bad breath for the embarrassment of being chased by the other party. But Sarko Mrod stepped in and took his gamble directly. It seems that some kind of alliance has been formed between the two men, Ewing thought to himself.
The surrounding people were already stunned by the two gambling games just now, as soon as Linton opened his mouth, it was 100,000 gold coins, and everyone's faces changed, and the smart ones seemed to have seen that this was not the win or loss of gold coins, but involved some higher-level games in it. Therefore, those who were originally ready to bet on the next game took their hands back and kept silent about betting.
When Ewing took the initiative to provoke and pressed 100,000 gold coins to be taken over by Count Sacco, everyone would understand the bends and turns more carefully. However, in addition to the officials and nobles in the Duchy of Como, some nobles who came from other places did not care about the strange situation between several people, and found some friends they knew to bet on each other, and Ewing and Marquis Ness were not at all surprised.
"A thousand gold coins, the knight of Aino wins! At this time, Lin Meng stood behind Ewing and said softly with a smile. But his eyes were fixed on Linton and Sacco, and he didn't care whether he had more money or less.
"I'll also bet 10,000 gold coins, and Ino Knight wins!" Just as Lin Meng's words fell, I don't know which person Rees came out of, and immediately ran to Lin Meng's side with a smile and said loudly.
Hearing Reese's words, Lin Meng rolled his eyes helplessly, but looking at Reese's slick expression, Lin Meng was also a little puzzled, whether Reese was a nervous person, or took this opportunity to show his loyalty in front of Marquis Ness
"Hmph, I'll take it. Hearing Lin Meng's words, Sacco was very angry. It seemed that Lin Meng was very angry with a thousand gold coins, while Niss and Ewing on the side glanced at the two with a smile on their faces, as if the disgusting Sacco just now made the two very satisfied.
"Since no one is betting, the duel officially begins. Marquis Ness looked around at everyone and said, after speaking, he directly drew the saber at his waist and threw it down.
The cross sword swirled and fell in the air, and with a "click", it was deeply inserted into the sand of the Colosseum, revealing half of the sword body trembling on the ground. At the moment when the cross sword landed, Kate Knight and Aino Knight, who had been facing each other, flashed their figures, and instantly turned into two afterimages and rushed towards each other.
"Khooth!"
"Khooth!"
Two sounds came, and the cross swords on the waists of the two instantly appeared in their respective hands, pointing directly at each other's vital points.
In the eyes of everyone, they saw a golden figure and a black figure with a strong air current, blowing sand and dust on the ground, and the two of them had already disappeared.
"Ding"
A soft sound came, which shook the eardrums of the surrounding audience, which was very uncomfortable.
The swords of the two collided together for the first time, without any temptation, with their respective fast body skills, it was directly a straight stab, and the tips of the swords were-for-tat, without giving in. The force transmitted through the tip of the sword made the faces of the two of them change, and they seemed to be a little surprised by the strength of the other party.
The first collision of the two involuntarily each took two steps back, and then moved under their feet, and once again held the sword up, this time the Kate Knight stabbed obliquely, pointing directly at Kate Kate's lower abdomen, and in Kate Kate's hand, the cross flicked down, as if he wanted to get rid of the sword stabbed by Knight Aino, but unexpectedly Knight Aino's wrist shook halfway to change his move, the stab turned upward, and the cross sword slashed towards Kate's chest, which was beyond Kate's expectations.
His complexion changed drastically, Kate Knight didn't expect Knight Aino's swordsmanship to be so old-fashioned, not at all like the rather disciplined swordsmanship when he was fighting with people in the Norman Kingdom. At this time, it is too late to change the move, if he retreats, although he can dissolve the sword of Aino Knight, he will lose his advantage, and what awaits him is the stormy attack of Aino Knight, and it is completely unacceptable to Kate Knight, who has always been used to smooth sailing and high spirits.
"Drink"
With a heavy shout, Kate Knight gritted his teeth, twisted his body, and slammed into Knight Aino with his right shoulder on his side.
"Whoosh!" rang out, very harsh. I saw Knight Aino's cross sword blade slashing fiercely on Kate Knight's chest armor, bringing a spark. made the surrounding audience exclaim in shock, and their hearts were about to rise to their throats.
Kate Knight still ignored the blade of Knight Aino's sword and slammed it into Knight Aino's chest, ignoring the screeching sound of the fierce friction between the armor on his chest and the cross sword.
As if to understand Kate Knight's intentions, Knight Aino's left hand quickly clenched into a fist, and with a movement of his left arm, he brought a whining sound, and smashed his fist into Kate Knight's head. If he is really hit, I'm afraid Kate Knight will not feel good.
In the face of the Aino knight, who changed his moves so quickly, Kate Knight did not slow to twist his waist and close his shoulders, held up the hilt of the cross sword in his hand and fought hard with the fist swung by Knight Aino, and the two of them each stepped back, but when Kate Knight retreated, he was kicked by the prepared Knight lightning on the waist, but fortunately, Kate Knight was more stable under the plate and was wearing armor, so he only felt a pain in his waist, and he stumbled under his feet, and was not kicked to the ground.
However, this made Kate Knight furious, but the anger did not make Kate Knight lose his mind, but made him start to look at Knight Aino cautiously.
It seems that this is a difficult opponent, and those guys who have fought in the Norman Kingdom in the past are different, and the swordsmanship of this person in front of him seems to be in many fights, and the practical tricks left by thousands of hammers have been tempered to save the essence, without those flashy sword moves, and a stab and a split are quite effective.
Just as Kate Knight was contemplating and pondering, Knight Aino's face was expressionless, his figure flashed, turned into a black lightning, and he appeared in front of Kate Knight with a cross sword in his hand, and stabbed accurately and fiercely towards Kate Kate's face.
Kate Knight twisted to the side, slid sideways, narrowly avoided Knight Aino's fatal blow, and the cross sword in his hand was like an angry dragon out of the sea, stabbing towards Knight Aino's neck.
Knight Aino immediately took a step across, and the cross sword was crossed, and it was fiercely lattice on Kate Knight's cross sword, and with a "bell", the long swords in the hands of both of them were swept away, and then the two regrouped and fought together.
Knight Aino's swordsmanship is very simple, every time it is a stab and a split, it seems very simple, but it is very difficult and effective, and every time it forces Kate Knight to change his tactics to deal with it. For a while, Kate Knight was in a hurry, and he was in danger, quite embarrassed.
