Chapter 55: Film
On the main road connecting Carmodo to Filin, two steam motorcycles left the dust, rolling up a large amount of dust.
Said to be a highway, in fact, it is a slightly flat sandy road, usually no one walks, so they have no worries, full horsepower, the wheels roll up sand and dust, forming a sandy wall behind them, which looks very spectacular in the sun.
Quercus took Yingying to speed on the boundless sandy road, and his heart was very comfortable, it had been a long time since he left Alma Quercha,
Although it is inland, the climate around Carmodo is very strange, because the riverbed changes and the huge ravines formed by the perennial strong wind erosion abound.
Although there are no road signs around, as long as you follow the river called Takam next to it to the end, you will reach the destination of the group this time, Filin,
Known as a big country in the crime and gambling industry, Film, unlike other countries' tradition of being governed by the royal family, implements a republican concept of state management, and the entire country is jointly established by hundreds of gangsters, large and small, and declares permanent neutrality to the outside world.
Because of this, this country has become the best breeding ground for crime on the whole continent, intelligence, illegal drugs, weapons, and other things that are prohibited in these other countries have been legally protected and vigorously developed in this country, and most of the prohibited items in neighboring countries such as Carmodo come from here.
And the vigorous development of these things has created unparalleled wealth for this country, and the high-ranking members of these gangs have borrowed this wealth to bribe the high-ranking officials and nobles of the surrounding countries, coupled with their own good military force, so that they can prosper in this land for a long time, and maintain a very delicate balance with the surrounding countries.
After all, human beings are a race that has to need the dark side, and instead of encircling it in an uncontrolled state, it is better to channel it in this state that at least seems to be controllable, since there is no harm to everyone, everyone tacitly allows it to develop,
A typical order-evil country,
Of course, to solve the crisis from the outside, this country built by the gangsters once again faced a dispute of interests from within, and the serious internal friction directly shook the foundation of the country at the beginning, and finally this group of people wanted to understand that everyone is here to make money, and not to send them to death, there is no need to fight back and forth, there are more than a dozen referendum meetings, and finally they came up with a seemingly fair and very gangster solution, which is to gamble,
The previous common sense has been completely overturned in this country, where everything is determined by the outcome of the game, and there are only six laws in the true sense of the word, which are engraved on copper plates and stand at the entrance of the country and other conspicuous positions, always reminding the people and travelers,
First, no one other than law enforcement teams is allowed to use any form of violence within the borders of the country.
Second, all disputes are settled by the gambling fight, both parties must pay the same price, the form of the gambling game is proposed by the promoter, and the other party must agree to the gambling game to be established.
Thirdly, cheating is allowed in the game, but once it is discovered, it is immediately judged to be negative.
Fourth, group disputes need to appoint a full agent to gamble in the form of an agent.
Fifth, all the above-mentioned unexplained and loophole bets are won or lost by the Court of Arbitration at its sole discretion.
Sixth, if the gambling game is established, all the winning and losing results must be unconditionally complied with by both sides, otherwise they will be regarded as the enemy of the entire film.
Under this kind of rules that outsiders can not understand completely, the film quickly solved the internal contradictions and developed and grew, and at the same time, because of the existence of this special nature of the rules and the concept of absolute safety, many tourists admired, so that the film quickly transformed into a widely acclaimed tourist country.
These gangsters who fight and kill on weekdays never thought that the tourist economy brought about by the rules compiled by their side in order to solve internal contradictions would bring such a big profit, so they began to develop the tourism industry on the basis of the original business.
So the film has become the kind of tourism industry that is very developed now, and at the same time dealing in contraband and crime, you can do anything to yourself, but you will never allow the use of violence against other people.
With the speed of a steam motorcycle, it took about two days to reach the film from Carmodo, during which I spent the night in the wilderness, which was quite smooth, and arrived at the film city around the morning of the third day.
Although I had heard a man say that Feilin was a rich country, Zhulin was really shocked by the resplendent appearance in front of him.
The entrance was full of traffic and people, and Querca noticed that some of them were wearing white bracelets on their hands, while others were not carrying anything.
The man parked the steam motorcycle, took out the guide that the white coat gave him before, and looked at the Zhalin Road for a while.
"This country uses one kind of chip as a currency, and does not accept any other form of currency, so we have to exchange a little bit before we go in,"
The three asked where the guard exchange at the entrance was, and the guard pointed them in the right direction, leading them to an extremely ornate building.
The building covers an extremely large area, about three stories high, the first floor is a marble paved lobby, supported by several huge columns, around the lobby are small windows, the windows are decorated with something similar to jade, there are staff in the window to carry out the exchange work,
Although this exchange office seems to be doing the work of exchanging chips, but in fact, the function is similar to that of a pawnshop, in addition to using the currencies of various countries or the common currency of the human world to directly exchange chips according to the proportion, you can also directly use your own items to exchange.
In addition to their own work to exchange chips, the staff in the window are themselves some senior appraisers, general items can be directly exchanged for chips on the first floor, those extremely special items that cannot be identified or extremely high value can go to the second floor by more professional experts to identify and exchange,
Of course, the items you exchange will be kept in the exchange office for a month, during which you can redeem them with chips at any time, but each item exchange needs to be charged an additional five percent service fee, and the exchange office will never suffer a loss, so basically the chips you can get for each item exchange are lower than the actual value, plus the service fee, the exchange office basically makes a lot of money,
Moreover, this is a gambling city, and every day there is news from casinos large and small that someone has become rich or destitute overnight, and there are always people who are full of adventure or are ready to fight against the odds to take care of the business of the exchange house.
Moreover, the work quality of the staff here is extremely high, even if you only come to exchange a pair of underwear, you will never be driven away, but very professionally give you an estimate of the value to complete the exchange, but if you rummage over and over to find some broken stones and rotten socks to tease the staff here, eighty percent will find you outside in the Babbling River one day,
Fortunately, if you use the common currency of each country or the bell to exchange chips, there will be no deduction, which is more intimate.
There are four kinds of chips in film, except for the different materials, there is no difference in shape, respectively made of copper, silver, gold, crystal, the exchange ratio between the chips is one to one hundred, that is, one hundred copper chips can be exchanged for a silver chip, and so on, by the way, a copper chip and Bell's exchange ratio is one to one,
Of course, if you exchange a large number of chips and pick it up, film will provide a small card made of crystal, the exchanged chips can be stored in the card, and you can directly swipe the card when you use it, which is very convenient.
The man lined up to line up at a window, and Zha Lin took Yingying to wander around in the exchange office, there was nothing on the first floor except the exchange window, and the head could be seen the same, Querca had to go to the second floor to stroll,
The number of people on the entire second floor is scarce, and only a few people can be seen sporadically communicating with the appraiser in a whisper, different from the emptiness of the first floor, the entire second floor is full of shelves one by one, some of the shelves are empty and some are placed with items, and the places where there are items are generally placed under the items A small price tag can be seen at a glance.
The things on these shelves are all sold outside, almost everything, and there are many precious items like the best crystal crystals, high-grade beast spirit cores, etc., as long as you can pay the sky-high price marked below, you can take them away,
Quercus Lin inadvertently glanced at the guards patrolling back and forth, and understood why they were so fearless to put these precious items in a conspicuous place, the ring inlaid with four crystals was a good proof of the identity of these guards, no wonder no one ran here to make trouble, sure enough, money can make ghosts grind, these fourth-order crystallists who could easily become a guest elder who controlled the real power family in Alma would actually be here as guards, this strength is really frightening,
Zha Lin originally wanted to go to the third floor for a stroll, but who knew that he was stopped by the guards before he reached the stairs and asked him to show his pass, of course Zha Lin didn't, so he had to give up,
Back downstairs, the man had just finished the exchange, and when he saw Zhulin coming over, he threw his hand and threw a crystal card to Qilin, telling Zhulin that there were a total of ten golden chips in it.
These ten chips are worth 100,000 bells, Zha Lin was startled, the money in this crystal card in his hand is basically enough for a family to live a rich life for several years, and it is the first time he has seen so much, and he almost didn't hold it.
"You got so much money?" asked the man suspiciously,
"I took it in the treasury of Qianzhen before, but most of it was used to deal with various things, and I spent a lot of money to save you and myself, plus I spent a lot of supplementary equipment, and now there is only so much left" The man checked the crystal card in his hand and said to Quercus,
Zhalin was speechless for a while, the treasury of Qianzhen is something that ordinary people can enter casually, not to mention taking things out of it, speaking of which, when the man introduced himself before, he seemed to have said that the thousand-year-old disc in his hand was also brought out in the secret room in the treasury of Qianzhen, and I don't know what happened to the man before, and whether it has anything to do with the fall of the capital of Qianzhen,
"What the hell did you do before?" Zarin asked the question in his heart, waiting for the man's next words,
The man didn't seem to expect Querca Lin to ask himself such a sentence, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Querca Forest,
"I am the undead of a thousand towns"
Querca saw the endless loneliness in the man's eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
