Chapter 161: Fireflies
Simon sat alone in the living room of the inn, and although he said that he would not be paid to be a guide, he still decided to carry out the day's work perfectly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's an investment and, of course, a gamble.
He gambled on this very rich gentleman, and would give him a bounty of a few more gold coins for his dedication and excellent work ability.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if he could be his entourage.
Just looking at the group of black guys, who are just ordinary guards, can borrow 100 gold coins to gamble, you can know how generous this gentleman is.
Follow him and you'll definitely get rich!
So he silently counted the time, promising to give the rich gentleman a few good positions.
While Simon was observing Renault, Renault was also observing him.
This middle-aged man, who claims to be a veteran gambler, is not only familiar with everything in Little Wolf Castle, but what Renault admires most about him is that he has a natural keen sense of smell.
He can always guess what Renault likes and wants to do, and his analysis of gambling fights does have some correct opinions.
This is a natural ability to observe and combine with the gambler's intuition.
Little Wolf Fort is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Nibel River, not very far from Black Iron Town, so it shouldn't take much time, Renault is coming to occupy this place.
He now needed an eyeliner, a "spy" who could keep an eye on Wolf.
Undoubtedly, a native like Simon is the best candidate.
I just don't know if he will be loyal to himself, after all, he is a citizen of Little Wolf Castle.
So Renault was going to make some observations and tests on him, and if he passed, try to make him do something simple first.
For example, monitoring the flow of various goods in Little Wolf Castle, as well as Wolf's actions against the Luna Cult, etc., these are not trivial things that are obvious betrayal, and then find a way to slowly tie him to his own ship.
The Great Arena.
The gray stone buildings, bathed in a golden afterglow, resemble huge tombstones, looking lifeless. And the people who have worked hard all day also seem a little listless, like walking dead walking in a cemetery.
Renault didn't know why he felt this way, perhaps because behind this superficially glamorous city, there was too much darkness and too much decay.
There is only the big arena, and the huge fluorescent lanterns are hung high, illuminating the area covering thousands of acres.
"These fluorescent lamps don't come cheap. Simon proudly introduced, "It was specially made by Lord Wolf in Black Iron, and each lamp is worth ten gold coins, and it can only be used for one month. ā
Miley laughed when she heard this, these glowing lanterns were sold to Wolf by Black Iron Town for a hardware coin, and they were used for a year.
That is to say, every month, Black Iron Town has to send a batch of new ones to replace them with old lights.
Not only the big arena, but also the town of Black Iron provides very cheap fluorescent lantern services for the entire streets of Little Wolf Castle and almost all homes.
It may seem like a bad deal, but Renault has other plans.
Because these modified fireflies are locked in glass balls, they will extinguish the light on their tails as soon as they smell the spiders.
This was discovered by Charlotte by accident and was already beginning to extract bodily fluids from the spider's body.
So don't look at the bright lights of Little Wolf Castle now, once you are thrown a few glass bottles with this liquid, it will immediately turn into darkness.
It's just a small trick that will be available in the near future.
"I'm going to buy a ticket. ā
As a guide, Simon behaved with due diligence.
"No need to buy it, let's go straight in. ā
Simon was stunned for a moment, and before he understood what he meant, he saw Renault leading a large group of people into the big arena with a swagger, and came directly to the door of the No. 2 brass arena, said a few words to the gatekeeper, and was let in.
Could it be that he is a VIP?
Simon had already seen too many surprises with Renault today, but when he walked into the spacious and luxurious VIP room, he still sighed at Renault's strength.
This is the highest standard VIP room, and it is said that in the entire Little Wolf Castle, only a dozen people are qualified to use such a room.
Looking at the usual arrogant staff, who bowed down to Renault, he couldn't help but be more curious about Renault's identity.
Brass Arena 2 resembles a small gymnasium, surrounded by stands one floor above the other, and the VIP room is a separate room on the top circle.
Not only does it have a clear view, but you don't have to worry about being seen by others, so it's an excellent place for rich people to watch gambling fights.
Renault didn't know that his father was sitting in that VIP room and lost all of Black Iron Town, but he was sure that his face was not good-looking at the time.
Like Mr. Krone, who was in a state of rage at this time, four of his subordinates went out to relax, and until now they have not been found, not even a single message.
"These bastards, I'm so pissed off!" Krone put down his glass heavily, he thought about falling to the ground, but in front of the chubby Mario, he finally resisted his impulse.
Mario moved uncomfortably, it seems that he has gained weight again recently, and the chair specially prepared for him in the big arena is a little too small, "Don't worry, I really didn't come in the end, I'll send someone to help you get out." ā
In the big arena, borrowing people to participate in gambling fights is the biggest taboo.
If someone is poked out afterwards, both sides will be criticized, and no one will even be willing to gamble with him in the future.
Mario never participates in gambling fights, he only bets on the outside game, so there is no need to think about this.
But Krone had to think about it, so at the moment his head was about to explode.
When the time comes, if you can't send someone to the end, you can only admit defeat directly and give Renault a big bargain for nothing.
He wouldn't allow that to happen, and Mario wouldn't allow it, but he'd bet heavily on Krone.
Helping Krone win this game, Wolff complained about it at most, but he is Orff, the king's own brother, does he need to care?
"Anyway, let's win this first. ā
Mario's bland tone, but with an unquestionable momentum. Krone had no choice but to nod his head helplessly, with a hint of luck in his heart, and some time, hoping that the four subordinates would come back soon.
Just then Mario's guard walked in and leaned into his ear.
Mario was suddenly shocked and said, "Why is she here?
After saying that, he didn't even say hello to Krone, and hurried away.
Watching him leave suddenly, Krone was dumbfounded. I just said that I wanted to help him win this gambling fight, why did he run away in a blink of an eye? )
