Chapter 15 Gambling Skills Learned
The air was almost frozen, Cumberland stared at Grantham, and the big boss of the bounty hall would not shy away, their eyes seemed to be calm, but if an ordinary person walked between the two, he might feel that he was frozen, or that he had been slashed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The stalemate lasted about a minute, and Grantham finally said, "I'm sorry, but the chief of the referees, even the Pope, didn't make such an excessive request. ”
Cumberland nodded, although his heart was cold, but this was also expected, after all, most people would stand on the side of the Pope and support the son of God who had nothing, and they had to take enough risks. "It is a pity, Mr. Grantham, that I will prove that your judgment is wrong, and in view of your refusal to provide information on the investigation of the case, I declare you guilty of interfering with the official duties of the Church. ”
Since Grantham has decided, he is also a fearless character, he stretched out his hands and shrugged, what if he committed a crime, can you arrest me?
Cumberland didn't make any move, but chose to take his leave, and he got into the carriage with a little frustration and hurried to his next destination.
"When I return, I will proclaim you a saint of the Church in the name of God. Cumberland said suddenly.
"What, Holy Maiden!" Belinda was stunned, and subconsciously pulled the reins, almost causing a rollover, "I'm just a maid, even if it's the personal maid of the high priest, it is impossible to be a saint, not to mention, in that case, my future life will become extremely lonely and lonely." ”
"It's just a stopgap solution, I'm already at war with the Pope, and the arrows I shoot can't turn back, and they will definitely not kill me, but they will kill the help around me, so in order to protect you, I made this arrangement, and in the future, I thought of a way to ban your name as a saint, wouldn't it?" Cumberland explained.
"As long as I'm by your side, there should be no danger, you have to think about this arrangement of the saint, it's not a casual thing. Belinda reminded.
"It's man-made, and I believe I'll succeed. Cumberland clenched his fists, he was not willing to let his fate be in the hands of others. When Grantham sent him out, in order to lighten the atmosphere, he said suggestively—it is not good to grow up in the shadow of the Pope—and he left without saying a word.
"How much money do you have with you now?" asked Cumberland.
"Twenty silver coins, I'm afraid you're going to do something big, I've taken out all my savings. Belinda said.
"Thank you, Belinda, can you lend them all to me now?" asked Cumberland.
"Okay, but what are you going to do with it, let's go to the casino now, you don't want to gamble, right?" Belinda worried, she had heard a little bit about the casino, and knew that there were all kinds of shady scenes there, and Cumberland couldn't gamble, so could she still win?
"Don't worry, just lend it to me, I'm only betting on this one night, and I'll never come to this place again. The Son of God smiled and said with relief.
The Blood Red Diamond Casino, the largest gambling venue in Tian'en City, a place full of extravagance and sin, every night, will attract countless people who plan to get rich overnight to speculate, many times the vast majority of gamblers will lose their money, but here is always lively, dazzling magic lights, free drinks, sexy female dealers, crazy performances, all the time to inspire people to spend a lot of money.
Gambling has always been a legal business in the Yamelo Empire, it can be openly opened in various cities, and the church and the government are very encouraging and supporting the gambling industry, which is an industry that quickly gathers financial resources, of course, those in power must have a piece of the pie, and it is often the biggest beneficiary of the casino.
Cumberland didn't care that the two people sent by the Pope continued to follow him, he approached the casino in a big way, exchanged twenty silver coins for two chips, sat in front of the game called "The Great Adventure", and watched quietly, Belinda brought two free drinks, and sat next to the Son of God, she was a little scared, but she felt a little better to see that many women were also in the casino.
"Big Adventure" is very simple, it is a dice game, a piece of cloth that has been greasy and shiny, drawing the numbers 1-6, three female dealers holding gold wire cages, began to shake the dice, each cage will open different odds each time, up to ten times, if you do not bet on the number in the three cages, then you will lose money.
Cumberland drank a sweet wine and stared at the table, appreciating the dealers' shaking skills and observing the gamblers' judgments.
"You're learning how to gamble, Cumberland?" Belinda asked.
"Yes, I only have two chips, and if I throw them, they will be gone, how can I gamble casually without learning?"
"I think it's just a game of chance. ”
"No, the three dealers have been cooperating, they don't care about individual people winning, but in general to ensure that people lose more, especially when some people lose red-eyed and desperate, it is basically impossible to turn the book. The Son of God concluded.
"That is, the dealer can control the dice?" Belinda curious, judging from the shaking of the gold wire cage, it seemed that it could not be faked.
"They have a trick, and when they make a lot of money, they occasionally give back some of them, which makes people feel that this is a fair game, and one of the guys who wins the most often makes eye contact with the dealer, and he should be a secret trust. ”
"How do you know everything?"
"It took me a month to read all the books I could see, and there were people who wrote books on the probability of gambling to discuss. Cumberland explained.
"I didn't spend a lot of money to read books for you, and I had to hide. Belinda laughed, "But there are also borrowed and stolen from the library, hehe." ”
"We're going to win it back right away, don't win too much at a time, just make sure it's profitable. Cumberland stood up, "Today, I'm aiming for a diamond and then I'm leaving." ”
"What, a diamond!" the maid stumbled, not quite believing her ears.
Cumberland didn't speak, calculated in his heart, and bet the first chip on 4, after the golden wire cage was opened, the middle dice were exactly 4, and the odds given were five times greater.
"I really won, twenty silver coins have become sixty, and I have made a fortune. Belinda muttered excitedly on the side.
Then, Cumberland deliberately put a chip on the 3, but after the draw there was nothing, Belinda's expression immediately changed, a look of frustration.
"You don't need to be so nervous, or you'll have a heart problem all night. The Son of God whispered, this time he chose 6, put four chips, and quadrupled after the draw, Belinda understood that he had deliberately lost just now. (To be continued.) )
