Chapter 118: The Royal Racecourse of Ascot (Subscription Requested!! )
On the racecourse, Black Billy was carrying Freya like a black lightning bolt, far faster than everyone imagined, even experienced jockeys were amazed by Black Billy's speed.
They were surprised by the speed, but Mavi was surprised that Black Billy did not burst into potential.
You must know that the blood of mercury can block the connection between the power of supernatural beings and the flesh, it is a blocker, forcibly making supernatural beings become ordinary, and Black Billy who has taken the blood of mercury....
How can it burst out at such an astonishing speed?
This is somewhat similar to the phosphorus fire horse under the classification of the odd hoofed horse family in the catalogue of exotic beasts, the phosphorus fire horse is a kind of horse that can burn on its own, and it is not they themselves that cause the combustion, but the sweat they secrete when they run, it is a flammable substance, and when it burns, it will emit a black-red light, and from a distance, it is as bright as a lighthouse.
The speed of the phosphorus fire horse is the fastest in the family of Oddhoofed horses, and the data given in the catalogue of alien beasts can reach almost 200 kilometers per hour when converted to today's values, which is faster than any vehicle today.
Of course, Black Billy's speed is far from reaching 200 kilometers per hour, and it seems that it is indeed much faster than other thoroughbreds, but the exact value will need further testing to know.
Freya tamed it, and Mavi wondered what she was saying in Black Billy's ear, that the unruly and ferocious Black Billy would be willing to surrender, and if Black Billy was so good at conquering, he wouldn't have killed 8 jockeys before.
Da Da Da Da ....
While Mavi was pondering, Freya rode back on Black Billy, her eyes flashing with excitement, she turned over and dismounted, walked up to Mavi, and said, "Thank you, Nicholas, you can actually buy Black Billy from me for your own use." ”
】
"I'm not going to let a horse that has killed a man be my mount."
Freya shook her head: "You don't know what terrible benefits Black Billy can bring to the racecourse, I have never seen a horse as fast as it has run for so many years, and on the field, it will definitely crush its opponents and win!" ”
In horse racing, the prize money obtained by winning is insignificant, and the real big head is the horse betting activity behind it, which is an official event, just like football lottery, the official or private betting office that has obtained the horse betting certificate will give the odds of the day, which is essentially gambling, but the problem is....
On the racetrack, can anyone compete with Black Billy?
If not, wouldn't it be a foregone conclusion that Black Billy would win?
This is the source of Freya's terrible gains, an invincible steed destined to shock everyone.
As for Mavi, who found the opportunity but did not buy Black Billy alone, Freya was impressed.
"You're such a good man, Nicholas."
Freya happily hugged Ma Wei, and her bright red lips whispered in his ear: "I'm not a woman who doesn't know about Entu, please rest assured, I will not treat you badly.... Well? ”
Freya suddenly felt that someone was tugging at her clothes, and when she looked down, she saw that Yunia was having a straight face with an unhappy expression: "Let go." ”
Smiling, Freya took two steps back, but in a blink of an eye, she grabbed Mavi's arm and walked towards the carriage: "It's almost time for us to get to Ascot Racecourse, Archer, and load Black Billy." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
After telling her, Freya didn't forget to glance back at Yunia who was staying in place, and winked at her, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth.
Yunia feels provoked!
It's the first time she's been provoked!
She didn't know where Freya got the courage to provoke her, in short....
She was angry.
Very angry.
With her little fists clenched, Yunia stared at Freya walking in front, her dark blue eyes flashed with a hint of golden light, as if something was about to wake up, just at the moment when she couldn't hold it back....
"Emma, what are you still standing there for? Come here. ”
"Oh...."
Hearing her father's call, Yunia was deflated at once and chased after her sullenly.
.....................................
1:30pm, Ascot Royal Racecourse, Berkshire.
Carriages with family coats of arms on them pulled up beside the grassy roadside, and gentlemen stepped out of the carriages with their female companions in their arms, all dressed in formal attire, white gloves and top hats, bow ties, or ties.
The dress is formal because today King Rhodes IV and his four princes will come to watch this afternoon's horse race, horse racing is one of the most famous races in the Kingdom of Windsor, and the popularity of other sporting events cannot be compared, even during the Olympic Games.
In addition to the aristocrats who wanted to show their faces in front of the king, many middle-class or enthusiastic workers who had nothing to do on Sundays also came to the Ascot Racecourse.
Although they were not as decently dressed as the nobles, they still wore the most handy clothes in the house, carried newspapers, and pinned a pencil in their ears, entered the arena through the public entrance, and formed a long line at the betting gate.
Their purpose is very simple, they are here for gambling money.
On the blackboard hanging high in the betting mouth, the staff wrote down the real-time odds with chalk, and today's favorite to win the championship is [Van Gower] who won the Royal Race Day in late June last year, with a winning odds of 1.31, in addition, there is also a big favorite named "Choking Pony Girl", with a winning odds of 1.43, and many people think that today's champion will be born among them.
The last to sign up for the competition [Black Billy], the odds of winning alone are 8.16, although its owner, the Duchess Freya is very famous, but as a horse for the first time, everyone does not know its strength, even so, there are still people with the intention of upset, and put a little money on it.
For real betting dogs, it doesn't matter who is strong, but whose odds are high.
"I bought 'Van Gower' first, 'Spicy Pony' second, 10 gold pounds."
In front of the betting window, the communication coded 10 gold pound coins on the table, and after a while, he got the betting ticket handed out by the window.
"Is it really okay to buy so much at once?"
Helena, who was beside him, was worried: "The odds of 'Van Gower' and 'Spicy Pony' are too low, and the pay and return are not proportional at all!" ”
Looking around, Helena lowered her voice and said, "I suggest you buy the 'Black Billy' that Duchess Freya sent to the competition, didn't your eldest brother visit the racecourse today?" He's not going to let you lose money! ”
"My eldest brother doesn't know how to race!" The communication disagreed: "Everyone buys 'Van Gower' and 'Spicy Pony Girl', I have researched, these two horses do have the strength to win the championship, as long as no one makes a shady scene, the champion will definitely be born from between them!" ”
Seeing that the communication was so firm, Helena didn't have much to say, anyway, there wasn't much money to gamble, so she just had fun.
As everyone knows....
The 10 gold pounds are half a month's salary for the communication.
Since joining the Church of Truth, Ma Wei has food and shelter, business trips are subsidized, daily life does not cost at all, and the text has saved some money, even so, 10 gold pounds is not a small amount for him.
It's one-tenth of his family's wealth!
The communication and Helena entered the venue together, and as soon as they left, Daniel and Edward emerged from the crowd and lined up to come to the betting gate, Daniel thought for a moment, and in the gradually impatient eyes of the staff, he took out a ticket with a denomination of 50 gold pounds, and slapped it on the table: "50 gold pounds, buy.... Black Billy wins! ”
He heard the conversation between the communication and Helena, Daniel was not the same as the communication, he chose to believe Mavi, the root cause of which....
When they came in just now, they saw the carriage transporting the horses entering the backstage of the race, and Edward saw at a glance that Black Billy was extraordinary, and gave a high evaluation.
Seeing that Daniel had suppressed 'Black Billy' to win, but did not tell the communication about 'Black Billy', Edward couldn't help but ask, "Won't you tell him about this?" ”
"Felix, that idiot.... Hum! ”
Daniel pouted and said:
"Who won't let him take me to play! He deserved to lose money! ”
