Section 227 Bet

Two days later, in the morning outside the city of Yanjing, all the nobles who went to participate in the autumn hunt set out as their families to see off the children who participated in the autumn hunt. There were hundreds of high-end carriages www.biquge.info the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion, and all kinds of nobles, nobles, servants, and guards, adding up to tens of thousands of people, almost all of them blocked the city gates.

On such a lively occasion, it is naturally the best time to compare with each other. The ladies and ladies all brought out their best jewelry, and they were full of jewels, as if they wanted to suppress the sun's brilliance. While deliberately displaying their jewelry, they talked to each other about which family had the most eye-catching children this year.

Unlike those women, the men beat each other, and naturally the topic is inseparable from their respective mounts, after all, the cavalry is still the highest fighting force on the mainland. On the battlefield, a good group of mounts will often save the master's life. Therefore, good mounts are highly valued by the nobles, because in these years, the nobles are almost all going to the battlefield to fight, and the things that save their lives are naturally the most important!

It is precisely because of this that mounts have become a very important part of aristocratic culture, and there are many good mounts in almost all families. And almost all the demonic beasts on the continent that can be used as mounts have been looted by them.

In today's big day, of course, they will not let go of this opportunity to show off, and they have accompanied the good mounts they have scavenged to the children who are about to go away. As a result, the entire outside of the city is like a zoo, and there are all kinds of monster mounts everywhere. There are the wolf warriors of the beast clan, the shadow demon leopard of the elf clan, and the level 2 wind monster wildebeest unique to the human world, anyway, there are at least dozens of varieties, but most of them here are two or three level of monsters, and there are very few high-level ones. Because high-level demonic beasts are already scarce, and they have a big temper, they can't be tamed at all without considerable strength, and now they are all young people, obviously they don't have the ability to tame high-level mounts.

And it was under such circumstances that the appearance of two fourth-level demonic beasts immediately alarmed everyone. It was the most famous mount of the two dwarves, the pangolin, also known as the ironclad lizard. This thing has always been known for its strong defense and super stamina, and it is a very good mount, and once the ironclad lizard, which is almost slightly larger than a rhinoceros, charges en masse, it is almost like an iron wall, and the power is not an ordinary pervert.

It's just that there aren't many of these mounts in the dwarf clan, and the elite knights who just equip themselves are a little stretched, so they almost never sell them outward. To be able to get such a mount is obviously not only a manifestation of wealth, but more importantly, it must also have a deep relationship with the dwarves. And now the two people sitting on the ironclad lizard are the third prince Carapani and Pablo of the Augustus family.

It turned out that the last time the dwarf master Pyritz came to the Griffin Kingdom to participate in the auction of the Thunder Knife, he brought a group of elite pangolin knights of the dwarf clan. Pablo had been walking with Pieritz all the way, and he was envious of the ironclad lizard. I always want to get two to be mounts, but the dwarf knights take the mounts as their life, where will they easily give them away?

Therefore, he came up with an idea, while he tried his best to entertain the dwarves, making the dwarves feel indebted to him, while the other half secretly put a special medicine in the food of the ironclad lizards, which made the two ironclad lizards inexplicably sick.

Since the dwarves don't understand pharmacy, they naturally don't see anything unusual, they just think it's because of the fatigue of the journey, and there are some water and soil adaptations in the different places, so this is the case. At this time, it was time for the dwarves to go back, and Pablo had already delayed a lot of time to see the old evil, and he really couldn't delay any longer.

In this case, Pablo offered to let him take care of the two sick ironclad lizards and send them over when Augustus' caravan went to the dwarven kingdom the following year. Of course, when he said this, he naturally showed his love for the ironclad lizard, and whoever saw it knew that he really liked it.

You know, dwarves are very upright and generous to their friends, look at this. simply decided to give the two sick ironclad lizards to Pablo, which can be regarded as repaying the favor of the Augustus family. So, two rare ironclad lizards went to Pablo's hands. It just so happened that the third prince Carapani also liked it, so Pablo naturally gave one to him, in fact, the reason why he got two was already planning to give one to his third prince's cousin, the purpose of course was to please the future emperor, His Majesty.

With these two ironclad lizards, the three princes Kalapani and Pablo suddenly became the focus of everyone, and the two of them sat on the back of the ironclad lizard, enjoying everyone's amazement and compliments.

At this time, among the people who saw him off, the circle where the heads of several big families were standing, also sounded the proud laughter of Frank, the patriarch of the Augustus family: "Haha, this kid Pablo is very likable, especially the master of the dwarf clan, Master Pieritz, who likes him even more, no, you see, even the ironclad lizards gave him two!"

"Ahh

Then, Frank said triumphantly to the fat man on the side: "I don't know what little Stephen will ride out this time? I heard that he will command the Wyvern, does he want to fly to the autumn hunt by himself?" Obviously, he wanted to compare the fat man with the fat man in this matter.

The fat man actually didn't know what the old evil would ride, but he knew that the most important part of this kind of activity was interaction, and if he rode a flying mount away from everyone, it would be better to hunt by himself, and there would be no meaning. So he immediately sneered, "You don't have to worry, Lord Frank, he obviously won't ride a flying dragon!"

"Oh?" Frank immediately asked curiously, "Then what will he be riding? Could it be a group of horses? With his size, I'm afraid that ordinary horses will be crushed by him!"

Then he burst out laughing. Although the others didn't dare to laugh out loud in order not to anger the fat man, the smile on their faces couldn't hide the fat man.

"Hmph!" the fat man then couldn't help but snort coldly, "Although my children will not have any dwarf masters to send mounts, they will not ride horses. Maybe he'll surprise you?"

"Surprise me?" Frank immediately amused, "Excluding the Wyvern, could he have a mount more powerful than the Iron Lizard?"

"Maybe that!" said the fat man coldly.

"Oh, in that case, why don't you make a bet?" said Frank with a smile.

In the aristocratic circle, you can bet on losing, but you can't bet because you are afraid of losing, and the latter can only become a laughing stock ridiculed by everyone. Anyway, the Stephen family has a big business, and they don't care about that bet at all, so the fat man directly mocked: "Okay, last time you generously took away so many bow-making materials that I didn't have, and made me a lot of money, and I'm worried that I can't spend this money! Say, how much do you want to gamble?"

As soon as he heard that the fat man deliberately mentioned the last incident again, Frank's face immediately turned green with anger. You know, last time he paid a lot of money! Almost all of them vomited blood. Although the emperor gave him a chance to sell his inventory, those materials were collected at three times the price, that is, they were sold to the Bright Empire tax-free, and they were sold for twice the price at most. Because the news of the appearance of the iron bow had already been obtained, and there were too many goods from the Franks, the price of bow-making materials began to fall sharply. Anyway, this one in and one out, the Augustus family lost hundreds of thousands of gold coins, to say the least.

Such a heavy loss has left a deep scar in Frank's heart, and he finally forgot about it after a few months, but it was revealed by the fat man in public, can he not be angry? So in annoyance, he shouted directly: "100,000 gold coins, do you dare?"

When the fat man heard this, he fainted, and they often bet against each other, but they were all bets of thousands of gold coins, how could it be so big?

If it was a few thousand gold coins, it didn't matter if the fat man lost, but when he heard such a large amount, he was not an idiot, how would he agree? So he immediately wanted to shake his head and refuse, he would rather lose face than let Frank easily defraud his huge sum of 100,000 gold coins.

But at this moment, an old voice suddenly came: "I agreed for him!" Then, a white-bearded old man suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

It turned out that the old mage had something to do in the palace this morning, and when he was returning from his errands, he happened to pass by here, and he heard about the bet between Frank and the fat man. Since someone wanted to give him 100,000 gold coins, could he say no?

When everyone saw that it was him, they hurriedly saluted him respectfully. The old mage smiled and waved his hand at them, and then smiled at Frank: "100,000 gold coins, is it?
