Chapter 7: The Beacon

When Rossi arrived, he was thinking about how to repackage and promote a religion that was almost out of the stage of history.

There are many reasons for the decline of the church, such as the birth of science caused a change in the laws of the universe, and since then the world has entered the age of the end of the law, and it is becoming more and more difficult for people to obtain mysterious powers, of course, this is Rossi's own speculation.

In its heyday, the Church was too powerful and above the royal power, and the oppression of the royal families of the great kingdoms never stopped. Therefore, the leadership of various countries is like a spring that has been squeezed to the limit, and naturally they will not be polite to the church, and they will never let it go lightly if they can make a dead hand, and almost play the church to death in minutes.

People have to have faith, which generally happens in three situations, the first is to live in a religious environment from childhood to adulthood, such as the United States in another world, where parents and relatives believe in God at birth, and even people who don't believe in God believe in it after decades of self-hypnosis.

The second is when people suffer from insurmountable hardships, such as life and death, people will urgently believe in a god or something before they die, hoping to overcome the fear and anxiety of death through spiritual sustenance. It's hard to say whether this method works or not, but half of the people who have used it say it's good.

The third type is desire, which is in awe. As long as they are intelligent creatures, they all have desires and pursuits. If believing in God can benefit from improving one's life and changing one's destiny, then naturally there will be people who are willing to join the church and believe in the Holy Light.

For now, Rossi feels that there is only a third way to make the biggest difference in the shortest amount of time.

Hano is a good pawn.

He likes to gamble, but he has bad luck, he gambles and doesn't win, but he likes to gamble, and almost everyone knows him and knows him. The town is really not big, there are no entertainment activities and facilities, and a little trivial parents can be enjoyed by everyone for a long time.

Such a bad gambling stick, a gambler who finally broke his family, suddenly one day is different, he starts to win, and when he wins a lot of money, people will not praise him, they will only be jealous of his luck. Others, on the other hand, wonder what made his luck so good, was it cheating, or was it just pure luck?

People are curious, and once curiosity is stirring, no one can stop it.

In the end, Hano gritted his teeth and gave Rosie thirty coppers, and Rosie also gave him a blessing spell as he had promised before. The effect of Blessing is very normal, increasing the caster's luck for the duration of the spell.

And gambling, the most important thing is luck!

Hano left happily, but Bivis sighed.

"I know what you're trying to say, but it's important to understand that everything I do is for the church. Rossi was very sincere.

He knew very well that in such a small town, a priest who had been stationed for more than ten years without achieving anything would be very conservative to a certain extent. Because if he had the determination and courage to innovate and embrace new things, he would have used it long ago when Bivis found that there was no way to make progress, instead of clinging to the rigid dogma of the church until now.

Bivis's face was slightly stunned, but he didn't refute it. After so many years of pure heart and few desires, he no longer has the mentality to fight. He nodded to Rossi and said, "That's the best...... But what you do, I will report to the church truthfully. ”

"Whatever. ”

Exiting the back door of the church, Rosie picked up his one-handed sword and swung it slowly. Practicing swords is not necessarily fast, but slow practice will make swordsmanship grow faster. It's like lifting weights, it's not difficult to lift heavy objects with an instantaneous burst of power, but it's very difficult to lift heavy objects for a long time.

The principle is the same, swinging the sword slowly will make the accuracy higher, and the muscles will remember the sword movement more deeply.

Rossi has a hunch that the strength will break through 1.5 recently.

He can now lift about fifty pounds of things with one hand, which is already a strong man compared to a child of this age. Strength and other stats, with a stacking increase of 0.01. And every 0.1 increase is a leap forward.

Rossi was practicing his sword, but Hano rushed into the casino in one go. Yesterday he went on a killing spree, which made him highly excited. Pushing away the gamblers on the edge of the table, he threw two silver coins on the betting section of the table without looking. The surrounding gamblers suddenly gasped, two silver coins can be exchanged for about two hundred and fifty copper, although the official exchange rate is one hundred copper for one copper coin, but the private exchange rate is very free.

The amount of copper in existence is huge, and there are fewer silver coins, so often one hundred and ten copper coins can only be exchanged for one silver coin. This time coincided with the harvest season, and the number of merchants increased, and the demand for large denominations of money also increased. It was impossible for these merchants to shop with carts pushing several carts of copper, and their best options were silver and gold coins. The exchange rate of money is actually a relationship between supply and demand, and when the demand for silver coins increases, it will naturally increase in value.

In Greentown, the purchase rate of copper is very strong. First, because of the scarcity of materials here, people often barter. The second is that everyone's income is not high, so one copper can buy a lot of things.

If converted into the purchasing power of the earth, the price of a copper is about one yuan.

smashed two silver coins in one go, which is already half a month's salary for many people.

The dealer at the casino frowned and glared at Hano, who had won a lot of money from him yesterday and the boss had taught him a lesson. He teased without smiling, "Hano, have you gotten lucky, or are you confident that you can win?"

Hano smirked and didn't speak, standing with his hands in his arms, but the person next to him shouted, "Hurry up!"

The dealer buckled part of the button with a small bowl, pushed it aside and counted it, and after the killing, he began to count. As the buttons became fewer and fewer, the dealer's face became gloomy and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Could it be that this damn guess was right again? Impossible, Hano, the bright light of the casino, who doesn't know who doesn't know, how can he win again?

No matter how slow you count, there will always be a time when you finish counting. When the last remaining remainder is the same as the area number of the area where Hano bets, the dealer's sweat beads drip onto the table.

He gritted his teeth, squinted at Hano, and gritted his teeth, "Give it to him!"

Even when he got ten silver coins with interest, Hanoule's mouth couldn't close together, and it was too fast to make money in this way! Ten silver coins would become fifty if they were pressed out, and two hundred and fifty-five when they were pressed out, which was more than two gold coins! In a few days, he would become the richest man in the town, and when the time came, he would take a break from the yellow-faced woman in the house, find a young and beautiful woman again, and build a big house, and he would be able to live the life of a first-class person.

Just as he was grabbing the ten silver coins and about to continue pressing, a hand suddenly reached out next to him and just clasped his wrist. A bald-headed man looked at him expressionlessly, and with a slight squeeze of his hand, the painful Hano's face changed color.

"Tell me what you want to press, and I'll help you press it. ”

This big man is one of the shareholders of the casino, not a local, and is said to be the small leader of a gang in Lyme City, with a large background. Hano, in pain and fearful of his power, nodded quickly, letting go of his hand and letting the ten silver coins fall into the "Join" on the table. This grid means that the button is exactly divided by five, there is no remainder, and it may not be able to meet once in three or five days, so the odds are also very high, one to eight.

"Help me press one. ”

The bald man sneered and let go of his hand, "No need, you just press this!"

The gamblers around them have placed bets, but they don't care, anyway, it's not themselves who are unlucky, and it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. Hano's face was ugly, but he didn't dare to refute, but in his heart, he drenched the blood of this person's scolding, but there was a cowardly expression on his face, "Okay...... Okay, that's it. ”

The bald man raised his chin, "Stand next to it, don't go near the table." ”

He wondered if Hano was cheating, there were a lot of people around the table, and it was not easy for people to find out if he really had to sneak a few buttons in.

Hano stepped aside, rubbed his wrist, and didn't say a word. The bald man motioned to the dealer to open the small bowl and began to count.

In less than two minutes, everyone fell silent.

Because Hano hit again.

This time, it's a loss of eight, and the profit is 90 silver coins! Many people have this income a year!

The bald man looked at the button, then at Hano. The bet itself was unfair, but it could have been won, and Hano was still standing at a distance.

Was it really a coincidence? The bald man himself was confused, but he always felt that it was not a coincidence. If Hano really relied on luck, how dare he make a heavy bet as soon as he came up? Two silver coins can be said to be a big game, and ten silver coins is really not a small amount, and there are two thousand, four or five hundred in copper. Well, even if it's a fight, but how did he win again this time? Plus he came here last night to win money, and he can win eight times nine times out of ten, there's definitely something wrong with that.

The dealer looked at the bald man, very embarrassed, and asked with his eyes if he wanted to lose, and the casino's income was only one or two hundred silver coins a day. If you lose it all at once, you may not be able to make any money today.

Other gamblers were also looking at the bald man, waiting for him to make a statement. The enemy of gamblers is the casino, they like to see the casino lose money, and there is a credit problem involved. If the casino doesn't lose money, then I will also take a shit in the future and hit a big one, will it be like now?

The bald man also understood that it was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and squeeze out a word from between his teeth, "compensation"!
