235. Who's first and who's last?
Chapter 236 235.Who comes first and who comes after?
Olga didn't react when he heard the comfort of the two people in front of him, but when he heard Inisa's question, he suddenly came to his senses, and grabbed the butler's arm like a life-saving straw.
"Yes, Randolph, we've been friends for many years, if you win this game, introduce this Lloyd to me, you know, this is the third time I've lost everything......"
These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Messe Anisa, and immediately replied:
"You're so losing that you don't even talk about the first-come, first-served principle? Is there still a bit of grace and shame? ”
"Hehe, the 'reader' you found yourself can't do it, so you want to borrow someone else's 'reader'? Is it worthy of shame? Do you think people are your male pets? ”
"Male pet? Doesn't that sound like that...... This little guy is very good-looking and has a great figure, even I am a little excited? ”
"You shameless slut!"
"You old bastard you can't afford to lose!"
Seeing that the two were arguing inexplicably, the housekeeper could only rub his eyebrows with a headache, then raised his left hand and made a gesture of 'inviting to dance'.
A spatial rift randomly appeared behind him, and out of it came his 'dancing partner' in armor.
Seeing this scene, the other two bigwigs finally quieted down.
Both of them are specialized in the [Story] route, and have not set foot in the [Projection] side, if a conflict breaks out in reality, it is impossible to be the butler opponent of the double cultivation route.
Seeing that the scene was quiet, the housekeeper said helplessly:
"You're like street riffraff and shrews."
The two bigwigs also said helplessly:
"It's not that we have forgotten our demeanor, but it is related to the most important [detachment], demeanor is a useless thing, do you like to keep losing and keep being a stepping stone for others?"
"I don't know how many twenty years I have left to lose, maybe the next time we meet, I'll be an unspeakable monster."
The housekeeper could only sigh at this and sighed:
"Alas...... The [detachment] method of our system is still a little too cruel......"
Then he waved his hand away, sent his 'dance partner' away, and continued:
"I can understand your feelings, and I don't mind Lloyd helping you, but he is not my disciple or subordinate, I have a normal relationship with him, and I will respect and protect his personal wishes."
These words can be regarded as relieved, and acquiesced to the two bigwigs to ask Lloyd for help in the next gambling game.
This made the other two suddenly happy, and their faces looked a little better.
But before they could be happy for a second, the butler poured another basin of cold water on their heads:
"It's just that it takes twenty years to prepare a bet, and with Lloyd's talent, it is impossible to wait for you for twenty years, I believe that he can definitely break through the fifth order before that......
Don't think about those crooked thoughts, and force him to wait for you for twenty years, I won't allow it; His Excellency Demani and His Excellency Tirtus of the Brilliant Order will not allow it; Even, the veto of the Sage will not allow it! ”
According to the rules of the 'gambling game', the 'reader' must be below the fifth order, so the butler's words can be regarded as blocking the delusions of the two, in case they are mad enough to kidnap Lloyd and imprison them, or sign some kind of disgusting contract with them.
But the two bigwigs were not disappointed by this, but laughed separately.
"Randolph, it seems that you still underestimated us, maybe because you lost too little, I remember you only lost once, right?"
"After all, he has to spend more time and energy on the [projection] route, so that he doesn't have to devote himself to it like we do."
After hearing this, the housekeeper seemed to realize something, and hurriedly asked:
"You ...... Could it be ......?"
"It does take twenty years to prepare a 'bet' and it takes countless efforts and resources, but who says we can only prepare a 'bet'?"
"Yes, without [Projection] as an auxiliary, we can only spend more money on the [Story] side."
Seeing the two of them smiling triumphantly, the housekeeper realized his previous thinking mistake.
These two guys actually prepared two 'bets' at once?
But he thought about it again and realized that it actually made sense.
Once the embodying powerhouse who specializes in the [story] route loses the gamble and loses the [story], he will also lose his own reliance, and before rewriting a new [story], he is as weak as a low-level shrimp.
I have the power of [Projection], of course, I won't worry too much, so these two, of course, also have their own guarantees and reliance, otherwise what kind of seventh-order powerhouse would they be?
"Even if I lose today's game, I only need to be given 2-3 months before I can play again, and if I can get the help of my little cutie Lloyd, I can also be promoted to the eighth rank."
Anisa said with a smile.
Olga laughed too, narrowed his eyes again, and asked:
"I only need 2-3 months again, so who should come first? This kind of thing, obviously, the more first, the better, right? ”
If you want to win the 'gambling game', in addition to a strong foreign aid, of course, you also need to gather the 'gamblers' who can play the table, otherwise you won't be able to open the game.
And the seventh-order circle of the [Manifestation] department is not big, and the news is easy to spread, once others know that there is such a 'reader' as Lloyd, people will probably not serve it at the table, so even if Lloyd is powerful, he will not be able to help.
These two bigwigs are 'old gambling dogs', and of course they know that they must seize this critical window to win this crucial game before anyone else knows about Lloyd, so 'who comes first and who comes last' has become a focus again.
So Olga directly spread his hands, put on a posture of a showdown, and said:
"Since my old friend Randolph is not opposed to me contacting Lloyd directly, then you and I might as well be more direct and fight for our family and financial resources."
Boss Inisha didn't rush to answer, but first took out a pair of vanity mirrors, looked in the mirror, and rubbed the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes to make herself look a little young and beautiful, and then replied:
"Okay, anyway, arguing won't solve the problem, but it will make Randolph see the joke, so it's better to be more direct."
After that, the two looked at the housekeeper together and asked in unison:
"You're going to keep today's story a secret, right?"
The housekeeper smiled, spread his hands, and said:
"In order to be able to serve this time, my expenses are not small, not to mention that I am not like the two of you, I come from a wealthy family......"
The implication is obvious enough.
So the three of them began to haggle around the 'hush money'.
As for the other two 'readers' who are still working on [the story], no one cares about their situation at all.
Because everyone knows very well that there is no suspense about the outcome of this gamble.
Although the 'author' cannot disclose the information of the story to the 'reader' in advance under the restriction of the [contract], it is not difficult to bypass the [contract] and let the 'reader' of his choice identify his own [story].
Like the butler, he had already prepared a beautiful and cute 'Everol' for Lloyd at the beginning of the [story], and as the plot progressed, he could also meet the beautiful and generous 'Miss Desda'.
Anyway, as long as Lloyd can come to his senses, he will definitely be able to tell whose story it is.
Of course, this kind of trick is also accompanied by great risks, and the 'reader' is likely to further substitute the characters and indulge in them at a deeper level because of these familiar characters and things, which will be self-defeating.
So the butler's arrangement is somewhat a bit of a gambling element, betting that Lloyd can come to his senses in time.
After all, the last time he invited Lloyd to experience his [story], he also made such an arrangement, preparing 'Everol' and 'Miss Desda'.
Clearly, he was right.
Lloyd never disappoints!
The housekeeper was very happy in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly:
Who would have thought that this little slicker who sold flowers would be so good that even I was surprised?
It seems that the prophets on the side of the Eternal City are also extremely powerful and awe-inspiring, otherwise I would not have followed the 'fork in the road of fate' and chose to come to the Bright City, and there would definitely be no today's events after that.
While thinking to himself, the housekeeper continued to bargain, and he had already thought about it, this hush money, he would definitely be fifty-five points with Lloyd when he turned around.
This young man deserves to continue to invest in himself!
……………………
At this time, Lloyd, after going through the newly grown knowledge in his mind, was a little curious about the situation of the other two opponents.
In this gamble, he is the only one who cares about those two......
So Lloyd slipped out of the room and wandered the hallway, turning on his vision, and his eyes pierced through the wall and the door, and saw the other two people sweating.
Belch...... Seems like it's still hard, huh?
Lloyd pursed his lips and took out his pocket watch to look at it.
It's been an hour, and it hasn't been cracked yet?
You know, this game, but the big guy has reservations, if it is replaced by actual combat, I am afraid that both of you will stand up......
However, the seventh-order versus the fourth-order is not surprising.
If only you could show me their 'plot', otherwise it would be boring.
Lloyd thought to himself as he went to the first floor to see if there was anything he could do.
As a result, he was about to go downstairs, when he suddenly felt a wonderful touch on his hand, which made his palms and heart a little itchy.
It turned out to be the statue of the Sage who was being held by himself, and suddenly broke free of his hand, and then in turn, he teased his palm with his little finger and hooked his finger.
Like some kind of implication of unknown meaning?
