6. Lines's Secret
Wen Na has been in turmoil since she returned from Snowman Castle, she is not an unmarried little girl, and she still longs for beautiful love and the story of princes and princesses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoFor a woman who has been through hardships, she should be more rational in making any decision and not let that trace of good feelings in her heart sway.
Seeing that the time had come to leave Carcher, Mr. Peter was still having fun in the gladiatorial arena, and according to the servant, today was the last game of the month, and if the Earl could win, he would be able to get a sky-high gambling price of about 1.5 million.
This income is simply astronomical in the Northland, because no one thinks that the Kacher who has just entered the second order can win against the 'Bloody Hand' Zeroth, Zelos is a retired senior officer of the Frost Blade Legion of the Winter Moon Empire, a real third-order warrior, and even has a troll bloodline, he is not the 'one-eyed' kind of second-order peak goods can be compared, as long as you are not an idiot, you can see it very clearly, so of course the odds will rise slowly.
Peter was ruthless, he put all the working capital, a whole fifteen thousand gold coins all bet up, hearing this news, Wen Na was very frightened, because if this money is lost, then the next road can not be walked at all, not to mention all the special products brought by Fei Lun, not to mention, even the funds for future life have to face depletion, after all, even the exiled earl has hundreds of people to eat, a few thousand gold coins can not last a few years, that is still according to the minimum standard of living.
So Wenna hurried from the station to the Camangard Athletic Center, and almost didn't scream when she entered Peter's VIP room, only to see Peter naked and pressing a tall and beautiful girl on the table, constantly shaking her white ass, sweating all over her body, and expensive truffle wine spilled on the breasts of another naked girl lying on her back on a chaise longue.
Peter heard the door open, turned his head differently, and before he could see anyone, he was slapped in the face, leaving a clear mark.
"Get out of here, you shitty women!
Wen Na gritted her teeth, her face was full of anger, and she dragged the two prostitutes who were panicked and dressed out of the door, and then looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes.
"Bastard, whoever told you to chase them away, that's a good thing that cost me a hundred gold coins to find!" Peter looked angry, anyone who was interrupted would have gone berserk, and he dangled some kind of filthy external organ, pushed Winna against the wooden wall, turned her body around rudely, lifted the hem of her skirt, and ripped the suspenders out of the woman's legs to carry a gun.
"Mr. Peter, I don't mean to interrupt your interest, but I just want to remind you that it's time for your gladiator to take the stage, don't make the Duke wait too long, he doesn't like to wait, you should understand. Salman said with a brow as he kicked open the half-hidden door with a group of menacing arena guards.
"Damn it!" said Peter, picking up a coat and wiping his body carelessly, and ordered the servant to change into new clothes, and hurried to the backstage. Didn't even look at Wenna.
"Ma'am, are you alright?" Salman asked respectfully, bending down slightly.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, let you laugh, take the liberty to ask, ...... Is that Mr. Salman?"
Wen Na was stunned for a moment before she reacted, she vaguely remembered who the person in front of her was, it should be Salman, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Blood Axe Guild, who had some industries in the Baijanting Kingdom, and had a bit of an intersection with the Lawrence family. I met him once a few years ago in a salon in the royal capital, after all, the Blood Axe Guild was still very weak at that time, and it was just a toddler in front of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, which had huge assets. Besides, the Blood Axe Guild is not a traditional trade-maker, and what they do is more or less gangster, wandering on the edge of the law, and doing unshady things for certain nobles and big merchants. I just didn't expect to see him here.
Salman's dry face squeezed out a smile.
"Thanks to Madame for remembering me as a little person. β
"You are too modest, Mr. Salman. Although Wenna looked very embarrassed, as a woman who had been in the mall for a long time, she quickly adjusted her mind and talked to Salman, "I heard that the Blood Axe Guild has opened the trade route between the Northlands and Windhelm City in the Howling Windsfjord?"
"Haha, you're really well-informed, it's true. The group of 'vampires' in the Black Iron Fortress are not easy to fool, and a large-scale trade from the Charleson Kingdom to Baijanting may not even be able to earn back the principal, and no one wants to suffer this loss, right? β
With the help of Isaac's Dragonborn legion, like a bulldozer, he savagely ran over the vast sea area between Howling Fjord and the Northlands, killing the pirates who have been entrenched here all year round, although the pirates from other regions slowly occupied this place after the sweep was over, but as long as the ships under the banner of the Blood Axe Guild or the Katcher Territory passed, basically no one dared to intercept them, and the pirates were not stupid.
In this world, except for the Holy Spirit Angels of Heaven Mountain and the demons and demons of the Hell Abyss, there are really few people who dare to provoke a group of guys with dragon blood, the dragon clan is not a species that will be suppressed by the main plane, especially the ancient dragon clan, although they only exist in legends, but no one knows if they have really disappeared, and creatures with dragon blood can be counted as dragonborn, hybrids such as salamanders or wind snakes are not serious dragonborn, and the orthodox dragon veins must at least have a certain line of dragon magicγ
It is said that the Dragonborn legion under the command of Archduke Isaac of Katcher is about fifty people, all of whom are of the fifth order, not to mention the evil girl 'Shadow Slayer' Fran Rivendell, who has been hanging fear over the heads of the Kacher people as an adjutant.
Although Wen Na was made anxious by Peter, she did not forget her intention in the end, and did not waste time on this kind of meaningless greeting: "Mr. Salman, can you withdraw the deposit of fifteen thousand gold coins of the Raines family, I know you have this power, of course, it is no problem to deduct part of the handling fee, and we can accept no more than three thousand gold coins!"
"Well, I might have to disappoint you, ma'am. Salman lowered his eyelids and said in a very embarrassed tone: "This is a competitive event at the end of the month, the stakes are very large, if you want to recover the deposit, we have to make up for this part ourselves, you know, who are the people who come here to watch the game, they are inextricably linked with various forces, and the Blood Axe Guild will not cut off its own financial route." And most importantly, your husband, Earl Lines, is the only one to win the bet on Claude, which is already in the casino market, and if you withdraw now, I think that by the time you get out of Castcher, someone will try to take your life to compensate for the loss. β
"What are you talking about! Only Peter bet on his gladiator, that's a 1-100 odds, there will always be people who take risks and want to fight for a super high return, right?"
Glancing at the bewildered woman, Salman waved his hand to signal the guards to leave a distance, and then closed the door of the VIP room before Shi Shiran said, "That's the case, ma'am, after all, his opponent is." Bloody Hand 'Zeroth, you should have heard about the Winter Moon Empire's total annihilation of the orc tribe in the Dragon Wilderness, he participated in that extermination war, and brought back the head of a shaman priest of a medium-sized orc tribe, shaman, at least no less than the third order, how strong is it to kill a shaman priest in that harsh environment, you should know very well in your heart, how can the newly advanced Claude be his opponent!"
"That's true, but is there really no way?"
"Well, maybe there's another way, which is to let the lord order a suspension of this tournament, and then find someone to kill Zelos or seriously injure him so that he can't play, and automatically abstain, although he won't get the sky-high gambling money, but at least he can get back eighty percent of the principal, and he won't be hated. β
"Your Excellency, that's really difficult, he's not a good talker. β
Salman added a sentence when he left, which made Wen Na's mood even more gloomy, and her reason told her that what the other party said was right, it was basically impossible to let the lord order, don't look at him in the castle before, he was not bad to himself, but the transaction between nobles often has little to do with the good feelings between each other, and the final deal depends on whether it can bring greater benefits.
"My lord, everything has been arranged, in fact, that idiot from Faeron is not stupid, he gave the 'power of McGreen', which is secretly treasured by the Lines family, to the gladiators under his command. β
"Oh? 'McGreahn's Power'? What is that?"
"The Lines family originated in the Southern Kingdom, the history can be traced back to the Dragon Age, in the third generation of the Dark Chronicles, several large city-states were established on the Southern Plains, Raines's most powerful weapons are alchemy and engineering, thousands of years ago from the Dragon Age, and now there are still a large number of territories in their hands, although the Baijanting Kingdom settled only a side branch split from the south, but after all, it is the legacy of the orthodox Raines family, alchemy and engineering attainments are not low, and the inheritance jewelry made by high alchemy'McGrean's Power' is the treasure of their clan, it is said that this ornament can forcibly raise any existence whose strength is not higher than the fourth order to the fourth order, the side effects are not clear, but it is obvious that this terrifying alchemy product is definitely not so easy to use. "Dot, a slave trader who traded slaves in various countries, naturally had some knowledge of this aristocratic secret.
"I see, it's a bonus, but don't worry about letting Zelos fight him, I'll let Fran do it if necessary. β
Isaac crossed his hands over his chest and did not continue after saying this.
"I see, my lord. β
Dott bowed, and then left lightly, until he walked out of the VIP room, he dared to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head, although this lord did not seem to have any sense of power, but in fact, only those who have seen it have the most right to speak, as a big businessman, he has seen many big lords or members of the royal family, and even had the honor of seeing the high-level scepter mage of Wintercastle, even in front of the high-level scepter mage who has stepped into the legendary realm, he does not seem so trembling, could it be that this duke has entered beyond the limit of mortalsHe doesn't look like he's in his twenties, it's elusive......
