Chapter 51: The City That Never Sleeps (11)
A few minutes later, an angry voice was heard in a small pavilion closest to the gate.
Ai Lian grabbed a few banknotes and shouted loudly: "This is money! Money can't be used? What kind of casino are you?"
Inside the pavilion was a young girl in an evening dress, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, but from her smooth answers, it was clear that the girl had been working here for a long time.
"I'm sorry sir, we can only use gold here. Or you can pawn with items, and we will pawn them fairly according to the value of your treasure. ”
"Huh?!You can only use gold coins? What kind of thinking are you? It's the New World era now? Are you finding fault?
"I'm very sorry sir, but it is the owner's rule that only gold coins can be used. If you have any problems, we can help you and the host respond. ”
The girl explained to Elian unhurriedly, without a trace of impatience on her face.
"Forget it, then give me an estimate of how much this thing is worth. ”
Ai Lian waved his hand, pulled his mouth and took out a blood-red stone from his arms, and then threw it casually to the girl in the small pavilion.
"Please wait. The girl smiled sweetly at Elian, and then handed the red stone in her hand to another girl beside her.
In less than five minutes, the girl returned to the small pavilion, and then returned the red stone to Elian respectfully, and said, "After our appraisal, we can give you three hundred and twenty-one gold coins for this treasure that we never sleeps. ”
"Three... Ai Lian didn't say anything, Ai Yue on the side was already frying, "This is the Sage's Stone!?
The girl still looked like she was smiling, she put her hands on her abdomen, bent down slightly and said, "Hello Miss, this is our special appraiser in the city that never sleeps, and we will definitely not deceive you." ”
"But, it's only three hundred... Ai Yue wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ai Lian.
He gently threw the stone to the girl, and said casually, "Changed!"
When the girl turned around to prepare the gold coins, Ai Yue grabbed Ai Lian and whispered in his ear: "Well, this is definitely a black casino! The Philosopher's Stone is only three hundred gold coins! Let's go." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Ai Lian waved his hand and said casually: "The less money they give, the more relieved I am." Because in this case, the less burdensome we will have to do when we get started. ”
Seeing that Ai Yue was still a little relieved, Ai Lian gently touched the ends of her hair, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I am also called the king of thieves, what thieves are best at, isn't it to put other people's money in their own pockets? Don't worry!"
Looking at Ai Lian's confident expression, Ai Lian burst into tears and smiled: "En!"
————————————————————————————————————
After a while, the girl brought a small plate to Elian, on which were neatly stacked with stacks of gold coins.
"This is your gold coin, please take it!" the girl said to him sweetly as she handed the plate to Eren with both hands.
"Yes, thank you. Elien picked up the plate, and then, as if he remembered something, he picked up a gold coin from the plate and threw it at the girl.
"It's a tip, three hundred and twenty-one or something, it's not very good, I don't like it. Ai Lian smiled lightly, and without looking back, he took the remaining gold coins and casually entered an archway.
"Have fun!" the girl didn't say anything about the tip she had got, but just shouted to Elian, who was leaving, like a program.
At this moment, Ai Lian, who was slowly advancing in the arch, frowned slightly, and said to the two girls beside him: "It's really strange, no matter what happens, you don't stay too far away from me." ”
"Oh. Naya obediently agreed, and then said her doubts: "I always feel like here... Well, how can I say it, it's a bit disobedient!"
"Sense of disobedience? Hearing Naya's words, Ailian's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
Naya lowered her head and thought for a while, then crossed her fingers and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this, but I feel a little uncomfortable after entering here." For example, there are a lot of people coming and going, but I only feel a kind of popularity. ”
When Naya speaks of popularity, she refers to the breath of human beings.
In different scenes, the breath on the human body will be different. Especially in places like casinos, people who win money will be excited, excited, and happy, while people who lose money will be sad, sad, and even numb.
As for what Naya said that there was only one breath, Elian also agreed with it.
As the being who is best at distinguishing and exploiting this popularity, Allen's sensitivity to popularity has even risen to the point of intuition. But here, it's really untouching.
But the moment they stepped out of the arch, the three of them were surrounded by a noisy noise.
It seems to be a hall dedicated to playing cards, and you can't see it from the outside, but it's actually quite large.
From a variety of card tables to a variety of food and wine buffets in the center of the hall. It can be said that it has everything.
And the people here are wearing masks on their faces, but Eren can imagine them screaming excitedly over a small piece of card.
"This is the casino!" Elian sighed softly, "here, there are no acquaintances, and there are no friendships." There is no friendship and no friends. Only winning or losing is the only truth in the casino!"
Ai Yue, on the other hand, was fascinated by the buffet food in the center of the hall. If it weren't for Ellen still around, she would have jumped into those delicacies.
"Wow! That's the most famous tiramisu cake in the Empire, and that, it's a cat's tongue cake! Wow, I've always wanted to eat it when I went to Cat Ear City before. It is... Seeing the starry appearance of Ai Yue's eyes, Ai Lian just needs to ask Naya to look at Ai Yue, don't let her run away.
After seeing Ai Yue and Naya away, Ai Lian twisted his neck slightly. Looking at the table after table of people, Ai Lian smiled slightly.
Next, it's time for the King of Thieves show!
Please keep your eyes open, otherwise the cute gold coins on the table and in your pockets will disappear without a trace.
