2. Old Dish Roulette (Medium)
"Are the people of the Temple of Love and Beauty harassing you again?"
Sitting in a chair covered in heavy fur with his back to the ornate large desk, the man who could only see the back asked contemptuously, holding a lit cigarette in his hand outstretching out of his chair, and resting the other on the edge of the chair, holding a black notebook in one hand, turning a few pages from time to time.

The desk behind him was piled up with all kinds of herbs or materials for magical experiments, and what was even more strange was that in the center of the table there was a set of fine alchemy tools, the spar lamp was burning the glass bottle on the top, the dark green liquid kept turning, but there was no trace of smell, and on the left side of the table was a huge bookcase, which was probably the neatest place in the whole messy room, and the bookcase was full of all kinds of magic-related books, judging from the wear and tear of the neatly arranged books, the use rate of these books was obviously very high, but on the other side of the bookcase, and it's a mess of debris, and it's not even too much to call it garbage.
But at this moment, the tall and tall Khufu stood in this messy study but did not feel angry at all, he frowned and kicked away the unknown clothes that were thrown on the sofa, and then made a butt to do it, as a result, the sofa made an overwhelming creaking sound, which made Khufu a little upset, he scratched his bare scalp, and then simply stood up again, walked straight to the bookcase, reached out and rummaged through the pile of garbage, and with a happy face, he pulled out a bottle of red wine that looked like it was a year, and rudely bit the seal directly with his teeth, and poured himself a mouthful first, and then touched his mouth, and replied in a vicious voice,
"Of course, those gods can simply annoy people to death, just like goblins, they can't be driven away!"
After speaking, he poured another sip of wine, and then took off his coat with a big grin, wearing only a close-fitting short coat, the muscles of the hardcover and the large barbarian tattoos on the back were exposed, looking like those barbarian robbers who ran out of the frozen soil of the north, ordinary people would feel frightened even if they looked at it, but obviously, the two people in the room didn't care about this.
"It's a little annoying, but it's not useless, I've been wondering lately, should I hand over the three to five floors of the banquet hall inlaid with gold roses to the Temple of Love and Beauty to manage, anyway, they don't care about money, why not?"
While talking, the guy who leaned back to Khufu and seemed to have been enjoying the night view of Bordeaux also turned his chair lightly, and was greeted by a smiling face, slightly thin cheeks, messy stubble, black hair cut very short, and with a robe of the same color, it gave people a lean but slightly gloomy feeling, but those bright eyes dissolved this gloom a little, but in general, the appearance was not outstanding, and he belonged to the kind of guy who could not be seen when thrown into the crowd.
At this moment he pressed the cigarette butt out in the ashtray, then propped his head up with his hands crossed, looked at the somewhat rude half-barbarian warrior, and said,
"How's your talk with the Waujin Temple?"
Khufu waved his hand and said in a rough voice,
"Almost, but that group of miscellaneous pieces that fell into the eyes of money is not a good thing, as a price for protection, the Chamber of Commerce has to hand over 150,000 gold coins to the temple every year, cut, a group of miscellaneous pieces. β
"Okay, look away!"
Elevenn spread out his hand and persuaded,
"Compared to the Council of the Nine Towers, the conditions of the Workin Temple are much more relaxed, aren't they?"
"Don't mention in front of me that the damned sluts of the Nine Towers Council are mad enough to demand that we hand over 10% of our profits, and that they will ban the Chamber of Commerce from entering the Gray Plains, I'm sorry! Now I know why you hate them so much, hehe, what a bunch of black-hearted sluts. β
Khufu scolded, but did not forget to pour two sips of wine into his mouth, most of the barbarians and dwarves have this problem, they can't see wine, they get drunk when they drink, and they dare to curse lawlessly when they get drunk, Khufu is considered good, I heard that two years ago there was a big-mouthed barbarian on the side of the northern tundra who got drunk and ran to the temple of the god of justice and scolded Tyr for being a shameless bastard, and as a result, he and his tribe were cleaned up by the irascible paladins overnight, and all sent to Storm Bay to collect sand.
There is a follow-up to this, it is said that because of this barbarian with a big mouth, the northern tundra almost went to war with the Church of the God of Justice, but in the end a reconciliation was reached, and lo and behold, this is the power of the mouth cannon in the wizarding world, which can easily trigger a divine war.
"Don't talk about that, young master Eleven, two more scumbags who don't know how to live or die have sneaked into Bordeaux City, and this matter will be left to you. β
After Khufu finished his drink, he burped in satisfaction and made a "2" gesture towards Eleven, who after hearing the news, a flame seemed to flash in his bright eyes, and he asked in a pretentious gesture,
"Khufu, why do you think these don't know how to learn their lesson?
Khufu scratched his head and replied thoughtfully,
"Who knows? Maybe those don't have the same brain structure as we do. The last time I went back to the tribe, I heard those old people say that some mage will transform their bodies, maybe they have changed their brains, hahahaha, but then again, there are not fifty but thirty of the who have died in your hands in the past few years, right?"
Elivan shook his hand and counted with exaggerated fingers,
"How can there be so many? Except for those who are cheated and abducted, it would be nice to have a dozen of them!"
Khufu smiled too, but there was something else in it, and he whispered,
"Plus the few who were chopped up by you and fed to the pigs and beasts, and the ones who were sunk to the moat by you with stones tied to them, how can it be counted as more than twenty. β
Elivin's smile widened, as if blushing from Khufu's exaggeration, and he deliberately covered his face,
"Those are just some indifferent miscellaneous things, the apprentices of the Demon Hunter Tower and the Shadow Tower, and they are still far from my requirements, hehe, I and this group of sluts have to settle the accounts slowly, don't hurry, don't hurry..."
At first, the words were very flat, but in the middle, Elivan's tone became gloomy and angry, but in the end, he calmed down again, he let go of the hand covering his face, his face was full of peaceful smiles, but the hands on the table were bruised, sometimes curled up, sometimes relaxed, Khufu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, he picked up the clothes on the sofa casually, turned around and was about to leave, but when he opened the door, he said two words lightly,
"Young Master Elivan, don't do this kind of thing yourself in the future, leave it to the people below to do it, you are destined to have a good future, don't be wasted because of these cheap seeds. β
"Also, Master Pars is going to Sam City again, calculate the time, and it will probably be a few days before he returns. β
"Bang"
Khufu closed the door, and Elivan was silent for a moment, then slapped the table and shouted,
"Wendy, are you there?"
A moment later, a girl in a long black dress, as cold as ice and snow, opened the door and walked in, she also held a delicate tray in her hand, which was filled with all kinds of rare fruits and a glass of steaming milk, this is Wendy, the beggar girl who was rescued by Elivan from the line of life and death, but now she is slim and graceful, and the guys who are lucky enough to see her in the outside world call Wendy "the iceberg beauty with gold roses"
She is Elivan's most trusted person, and she is also his appointed fiancΓ©e, because just a few months ago, on a dark and windy night in a certain month, seventeen-year-old Wendy completely handed herself over to Elivan, although the latter is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but anything can happen in this magical country, by the way, the mysterious owner of the gold-inlaid rose, who is also the famous "madman" old vegetable in the house for a week before getting out of bed.
Seeing his wife graciously bring his dinner to him, Elivan's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't even see his eyes when he smiled, and he pointed his finger at his face mysteriously, while Wendy's little face turned red, and after looking left and right, he imprinted his lips on the young man's cheek.
"That's good. β
Eliven held Wendy in his arms, lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance of her hair, Wendy hugged Elivan's neck without saying a word, and the two leaned intimately together, as if they had forgotten their troubles.
But it's impossible to forget the troubles, so after a few minutes, Elevenn played with Wendy's long hair and whispered to her,
"That damn guy from Pars has snuck away to Sam again, I'm afraid he's in danger, doesn't that bastard really know how valuable he is in the eyes of those sluts in the Nine Towers right now?
Wendy caressed Eleven's back and comforted him in a crisp voice,
"Maybe it's your birthday, and Pars wants to give you a gift. β
"Hell Birthday!"
Elivan's hand touched Wendy's sturdy and warm calves, and the latter's face became more ruddy, but this time was obviously not the time for the Spring Festival, so the two of them sat on the only clean pair of chairs in the house after a while, and Elevenn munched and complained vaguely,
"I told him a long time ago that Mogeding's manor has been destroyed, my parents and eldest brother are also missing, don't try to find any news from that ruin, not to mention that he is an outsider squatting in the ruins of Mogding's house all day long, as long as people in their right minds will not let him go. β
Wendy responded while drinking the glass of milk that has not changed for thousands of years,
"I'll send Toff and them to Sam in a moment, and I hope Pars doesn't get too deep. β
After finishing speaking, Wendy paused, and seemed to be a little hesitant to tell Eliven what had just happened, the latter raised his head sensitively, and grabbed a handful of Wendy's chest with a wicked smile, and said majestically,
"Let's talk about it, what news makes your second master with gold roses so embarrassed?"
"Hmm... It's the casino, and that's here again!"
After saying that, Wendy pointed to the sky with her finger covertly, and Elivan sighed when he heard the news, and he roared in his heart,
"Ahhhh
However, scolding and scolding, the matter still has to be dealt with, especially when encountering this kind of thing of the arrival of a true god, it is a trivial matter that hurts a little from Elivin's side, but if the group of Worquin believers know that their lord will be incarnated in an underground casino more than three times a month, I am afraid that the group of wealthy local tyrants will buy the gold-inlaid roses with a shake of their hands! What is even more terrifying is that if this kind of thing is known to her enemies, I am afraid that the entire Bordeaux City, and even the Duchy of House, will cease to exist.
Therefore, in this world, as long as it is related to God, it will not be a trivial matter, Elevenn does not want to take Wendy to Storm Bay to pick sand, so he can only respectfully invite the masked beautiful lady in a white dress with more than a dozen priceless accessories on her body to the most exclusive VIP room, oh, by the way, Eleven is in "blackjack" The lady was found at the gambling table, according to the dealer with a dish-faced face and most of the casino onlookers, the veiled noble lady's card skills and luck were simply so good that the heavens were angry, each deal, at most after one round, the lady could have some more chips in front of her, and won fifteen million gold coins in three hours, who would dare to believe this terrible luck and card skills?
Of course, there is luck, but as for the card skills...
In the end, Elivan had to deal with the unprovoked lady, at least the town hall secretary named Joe, who had accidentally offended the lady, got back his ancestral title deed and the three million gold coins he had entered, and the others were not so lucky.
However, it is said that this Joe finally became a blessing in disguise, joined the Church of Waukin, and later became the regional bishop of the Duchy of House, which is probably another kind of god.
