Chapter 138: If you want to come in, please leave hope outside the door first
Soft, this is the first feeling, and then the second feeling is that the tight samurai suit is too visually deceptive, at least judging from the feel, the towering and soft parts are not as choppy as they see, as for the future, there is really no other feeling, and don't expect Augustus to have similar feelings of crampedness or guilt, etc., since taking root in this dirty world, Augustus's tenacious mind is also destined to make him face the enemy, and he will definitely not have any useless emotions, so pushing away the heroic girl, the expression that belongs to Augustus can only be calm and indifferent。 Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Of course, more vigilance was inevitable, and he did have to consider that if the girl became angry, the knights around her would rush up.
Surprisingly, this most deviant scenario did not happen.
Like a small beast, after distancing herself from Augustus again, the girl stared at Augustus, and finally stopped her gaze on the delicate narrow sword that Augustus had snatched from her, and then she was clearly disgusted, flicking the part where she was touched by Augustus, and her nerves were really strong She said disdainfully:" The poor bastard who robbed jewels in broad daylight, the cold-blooded and extremely selfish devil, coupled with the strength and speed that is barely enough to see, it seems that you are indeed Augustus the hillbilly from the wasteland, I really feel sorry for Her Highness Sophia, where is it worth paying for such a humble and shameless bastard like you?"
Yokel.
This familiar title suddenly made Augustus grasp something, and finally remembered to look at the chests of the knights behind the girl, and he clearly saw the shamrock insignia hanging from the knights' chests, and then contacted Angelina, her only friend in the Empire, whom Sophia had mentioned when she was in the wasteland. Hirsman, he completely understood why this victim was able to find him and Terina in a short period of time and control them in Stone City, for the Hirsman family, who controlled the defense of the entire imperial capital, including the Praetorian Guard, it was obviously only easy to find a few people in the imperial capital.
He didn't speak, and he really didn't know what to say.
I can only sigh that the imperial capital is indeed very small.
"Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, I don't plan to do anything to you, and I don't need to do anything to you. The girl, that is, Sophia's only friend in the empire, Miss Angelina, was still disdainful, and she continued: "Looking for you is just because I want to see what kind of person you are before you die, as for the 'blood diamond' you snatched, the Hirsman family will not deal with you poor bastard, although the 'blood diamond' is worth a lot of money, but I believe that your death will allow the Hirsman family to reap enough profits on the mammoth roulette, and the 'blood diamond' is the reward for Hirsman's charity." ”
Augustus frowned slightly.
Despite feeling embarrassed about robbing Sophia's friend, Angelina's constant posture of looking down on him really made him uncomfortable.
He was a little curious, he had heard of Mammoth Roulette, but what did his death have to do with Mammoth Roulette? How could Hirsman get enough of the benefits? Could it be that he was dead or alive and became a bet on Mammoth Roulette? That seems unlikely, isn't it? Legend has it that Mammoth Roulette, which is almost the official betting agency of the Empire, will open the market with him? This is too much to look up to him as a criminal.
He single-handedly calmed Terina, who was faintly angry because of Angelina's gesture, and asked casually, "Mammoth Roulette, what is the specific situation?"
The corners of Miss Angelina's mouth raised a mocking arc, and after a slight hesitation, she still sneered: " Be proud of letting the mammoth open for you before you die, although this pride is also the pride that Sophia brings to you, I don't mind telling you that the current odds on the roulette wheel are that you leave alive, 1 to 3, and if you die in the imperial capital, it is 1 to 2, and if you can still live to see tomorrow's sun after the salon tonight, the odds are 1 to 1, and so on, you can live a few more days in the imperial capital, and the odds will rise every day until you die or leave. ”
"Unfortunately, as much as everyone wants to get the most out of it, no one thinks you'll be able to live a few more days. ”
What a big deal!
Augustus, who gasped, was interested, as if the life or death of the person who gambled had nothing to do with him, and he said with great interest: "Then how did Hirsman place his bet?"
Miss Angelina was dumbfounded, didn't this guy know that the handicap opened by the Mammoth Roulette was simply pushing him to die? I haven't bet yet, but what is certain is that your final outcome can only be death, although the odds are a little lower; as for when to die, I personally think that either tonight or tomorrow night, you are destined to live until the end of the salon in the imperial capital, even if Sophia's fool can help you, but she still has a series of big troubles that cannot be solved after all, she can't save you - of course, you can also choose now, and escape from the imperial capital immediately, this may also be your only chance to live. ”
"Only fools run away. ”
Augustus muttered to himself thoughtfully, ignoring Miss Angelina, who was devastated.
It is indeed shocking, even if you know that there will definitely be many gamblers who will do anything to kill him for the sake of the ultimate benefit, but there are two sides to everything, and there will definitely be some more crazy gamblers who will try to let him live for a few more days in order to obtain greater and more fruitful benefits, which means that to some extent, he is already a gold mine with infinite possibilities in the eyes of the gamblers in the imperial capital, this feeling is good, so good that Augustus even felt that his whole body was shining with the charming light of gold. Sadly, though, this pile of gold is his life on one side and his death on the other.
He raised a big smile.
It seems that it is impossible to come to the imperial capital in vain this time.
What could be more interesting than gambling your life and death for great gain?
On the side, Angelina, who had been watching this lowly sinner, broke down more and more, and almost wondered if this devil was a psychopath, how could he still laugh? Didn't he know that this meant that he was already certain to die? You know, if he survived in the end, how many noble lords would lose a mess? She felt that there was no need to continue the stalemate with this psychopath, she couldn't do it, anyway, the goal had been achieved. She stretched out her hand and said in disgust, "Give me back the sword, the 'blood diamond' worth 35,000 gold can be given to me, but this sword inlaid with countless gems is absolutely impossible to give easily." ”
Unexpectedly, Augustus shook his head flatly.
He looked at the expensive and delicate narrow sword in his hand, and said seriously: "Originally, I really wanted to return it to you, but now it's impossible, you also know that I'm a poor bastard, since I want to get a good reward through this roulette, of course I need enough capital, lend me a period of time first, and I will return it to Hirsman together with your 'blood diamond'." ”
"You're still going to bet?" Miss Angelina almost went crazy.
Augustus said solemnly: "Of course, who knows better than me that I will stay in the imperial capital for a few days? Oh yes, for Sophia's sake, I don't mind revealing a little bit of the inside story to you, I'll leave the Imperial Capital in 13 days, and I can only leave alive. ”
"Why 13 days?" asked the dumbfounded Miss Angelina, who had completely lost the ability to think, purely subconsciously.
Augustus' smile became brighter and brighter: "Because I originally planned to stay in the imperial capital for half a month." ”
Miss Angelina, who came in a rage, was speechless.
Lunatic.
This must be a true lunatic.
She turned around, forgetting her brilliant narrow sword studded with countless gems, and felt completely unable to communicate with the madman.
But the madman behind him obviously hadn't finished speaking, and when she was about to leave, he said: "Also, you must compensate Stone City for those tables and chairs downstairs, and I, a poor bastard, really can't afford to compensate." ”
Angelina almost fell, and she felt the need for her to hurry to Sophia, and in any case, she had to be kept away from this madman, as far away as possible.
Soon after, Miss Hirsmann and her knight, who had caused a great sensation when she came, quickly left, and I don't know if she had negotiated with the Stone Town authorities, and after Angelina left, Augustus, who held the delicate narrow sword, gently rubbed the narrow sword in his hand, and stood upstairs to watch the tsundere lady and her knight leave, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes again.
He said softly: "Terina, I'm a little uneasy, how many people in the imperial capital will lose their families because of me, this really makes me feel sorry. ”
Little Lori naturally understood little Augustus's sad arrogance, she threw him a roll of the eyeball, and did not speak.
He said that everyone who wanted him to die would lose very badly.
......
That night, with the opening of the salon to welcome Prince Colum, who was about to return to the imperial capital, most of the imperial capital fell into an uncontrollable anxiety, this anxiety is not the real sense of anxiety, but the anxiety caused by excitement, even if the sinner from the wasteland will not be taken by many nobles at all, but the mammoth roulette wheel opened because of this sinner obviously easily attracted the attention of many people, no one knows who is behind the scenes to manipulate this handicap, and no one knows why the mammoth roulette has such an absurd and interesting handicap, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the gold is in front of you, and the wealth is at your fingertips。
The imperial capital was in a boil.
The salon also ushered in a boil.
Outside a royal manor located in the southern suburbs of the imperial capital, in the thin night, a simple carriage came slowly, compared with the luxurious carriage parked at the gate of the manor, this simple carriage was not only humble, and especially conspicuous, unlike every carriage must be painted with various badges, the carriage hung with black cloth had neither badges nor any logos, and stopped there, very nondescript and out of place.
Then a young man in a black robe stepped out of the carriage and walked alone towards the manor, no one greeted or heeded.
Lonely and shabby.
He walked to the manor door, where he paused for a moment, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the wooden sign hanging from the manor's wooden door.
There is a phrase written there.
"To come in, please leave hope outside the door first. ”
