Black sails

Chapter 567 CCI. Gambling Monster (6.5K)

As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, his family and friends will benefit.

Galen was originally a sea corpse retriever in a remote town in Alan. He led a group of ruffians and dreamed every day that he could retrieve a nobleman with hundreds of gold dragons on his body, so that he could live a comfortable life in the second half of his life.

He didn't get the nobleman.

He got the top-tier Pluto plague man.

With Nishi's record and outstanding military exploits, it would be no problem for her to be the person in charge of Du Geli. Otherwise, the Sky Eye would trip her up, and even if the sales route of the wetland had been opened, the goods would not be sold.

After investing so much in the early stage, the accounts could not be collected back to the Heavenly Kingdom Port. When the crazy woman asked for the blame, she would be so furious that she could not bear it.

The words are rough but the truth is true. Live for B, die for B, and the cycle of life and death will never end. Work hard for B all your life, but this is too fucking rough!

The son of a nouveau riche who learned to become a man with low self-esteem from the movie "Catch Dolls". Nishi's postures are so many that they can be included in the main god space to sell the S-level side story of the male control technique, and she completely won.

Nishi is now the person in charge. Although Ben and Viola seem to be at the same level, she actually has more say. Knowing that Galen and Li Site have a strong relationship, she gave Galen an idle job, so that he doesn't have to run around for business, but can also get a high fixed salary.

The classic saying of the underworld in the Western Continent is to stop when you earn enough 100 gold dragons.

In a big city with good public security, if you buy an ordinary house, you can play 30 gold dragons. If you don't go crazy and gamble, you can play with high-end ones, count in silver coins, and have a little sex two or three times a week. The rest is used for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Then 100 gold dragons are indeed worry-free for the rest of your life, and you even have a strong ability to resist risks.

Garen is now the trade representative of the Du Geli branch of the Black Sail Trading Company, but he is mainly responsible for expanding foreign markets, which is to say, traveling. His monthly salary is five gold dragons, which is a terrifying concept, equivalent to the income of a high-ranking priest of the Eternal Church for most of the year.

It also allows Garen to bring his mother to Du Geli to enjoy the good life, and other brothers and sisters can also be arranged to take care of her in a simple position.

As for the former brothers of the Fengyao Adventure Group, they were also dragged in, running business in Du Geli, earning more than ten or twenty silver coins a month, and there are also four points of order dividends.

However, Garen knows his ability. With the relationship with Li Site in the Narrow Sea, it may be okay to bring such a large group of people for one or two years, but after a long time, there will definitely be gossip.

Li Site is busy with many things, and may not come to Du Geli in the future. Garen does not intend to eat for free. Since his responsibility is to expand foreign markets, he must make some achievements.

Taking advantage of the heat of the Continental Martial Arts Competition, he also came to the Alan Empire to have a look. With so many five gold dragons per month, he could even pay some money for office work.

Knowing his level, Nishi and the others were either hero-level adventurers or double-flowered red sticks from the former Thieves Guild. He thought it would be too ungrateful to apply for a public-funded business trip with such a high salary every month.

So Garen only brought the former deputy leader of the adventure group to the Imperial Capital for a business trip to expand the business.

But Garen's background is ultimately a low-level adventurer who cheats on his buddies. Anyway, he's here, so he'll have fun for a few days. Anyway, he doesn't mind doing big things in these few days.

Let's go and see what the Continental Martial Arts Competition is like first.

"From the Adventurer's Guild in Ximen to the Imperial Arena, it's a total of 106 copper coins. I'll round off the zero and charge you two silver coins."

The Chocobo taxi driver said to Garen calmly.

"Fuck! It's so expensive, be careful or I'll complain to you. Do you want to die?"

Garen thought he was cheated, and thought about saving money, so he walked a distance before taking a taxi. Although it was the imperial capital, the price of taxis was too scary. In fact, it only took more than half an hour to get here. He didn't want to miss the draw. It was the first time he could see the players in person, so he took a taxi.

"Don't you see what time it is today? If you don't take a taxi, there are plenty of people taking it. I have gone through countless small roads to get here for you. Let me tell you this, there are no drivers with more than ten years of driving experience, and now there is a damn traffic jam."

The driver asked Garen to look around. There were crowds of people outside the magnificent Imperial Arena, and the entire square was blocked. The Royal City Army responsible for safety supervision and traffic command was overwhelmed, not to mention the audience. It was September in the middle of the year, and it was a hot day. Some big aliens were going to have heat shock early in the morning.

This was also the first time that Garen saw the huge Imperial Arena. It was much more magnificent than the one in the newspaper. It was also a circular stepped sunken building, but from the outside, one could only see the huge wall hundreds of meters high and the carvings carved by masters on the wall every year for the champion.

The most conspicuous one was the wall carving of King Alan Sword, but after artistic processing, it was very different from the real person. It looked like some kind of fairy king who suppressed the dark turmoil.

It might be that when the building was originally designed, they did not consider that the mainland martial arts competition would have such a terrifying flow of people. Every September, 95% of the audience could only watch the real-time images displayed by the crystal in the square outside, and the seats inside were hard to get. They were either wealthy merchants and nobles, or heroes and nobles in fine clothes.

The scalper tickets on the day of the finals had to be sold for dozens or hundreds of gold dragons. If you wanted to enter the venue on that day, you couldn't just have money. It also depended on whether you were from the central government or the local government, and what level you were.

The driver was right. Garen was actually involved in the underworld. If he caused unnecessary riots among the Royal City Army, it would be more trouble than gain.

"You are so cruel."

Garen admitted his mistake and gave the money to the driver.

He didn't know where the ticket office was. He squeezed into the deep of the huge square. The crowd was bustling and he didn't know where the ticket office was.

"Hello, where is the ticket platform?"

Galen asked a passerby very politely.

The passerby glanced at Garen's dress and looked really good. He hadn't heard the word platform for some years.

"Damn, which town are you from, brother? There is no platform now. Tickets are booked in advance, you can only buy from others, look, it's over there."

The passerby pointed with his finger. Scalpers of mainland martial arts will be beheaded.

But if it is just one ticket, and it is your own, you can transfer it once, which also gives some room for operation to facilitate the nobles.

You need an identity card to buy a ticket, and it cannot be faked.

There are people who specialize in booking tickets in advance to make a profit. Although the rules only allow one ticket to be bought and sold, not more, it is enough for the bottom adventurer brother.

"About a few silver coins."

Although Garen was born and raised in Alan, he used to live in towns and villages, and knew little about the imperial capital and various big cities.

"No... Brother, you are sick, although it is not the finals, it is not affordable for ordinary people. Even in the meaningless lottery session, it has to be sold for a few gold dragons."

The passerby was speechless. It was really the best among the country bumpkins, triple Li Site.

The East China Sea has always been a lawless and barbaric place. Every person has studied for a prenatal education degree. In the past, this allegorical saying was triple Dolinger, and now the victim has become Li Site.

"Ah, this..."

Garen is Spartan. These few are so expensive, so what's the point of watching them? Just wait outside the square and watch the crystal image.

Just when he was sighing at the arrogant life of the three flag masters in Alan.

The girl, who was about 1.7 meters tall and looked only 17 or 18 years old, seemed to be avoiding some pursuit. In a panic, she bumped into Garen.

But Garen is tall and strong. Although it is a rubbish adventure group, he is also the leader. Silver adventurers are still much better than you and me in reality.

Glenn's skinny body suddenly hit the ground, and he was dazed.

Galen was speechless. Where did this girl come from? She has a fucking Jinx hairstyle, but it is black. Her skinny figure is similar, but her outfit is more like that of Jerusalem in the 3D area. She has hand guards, tactical boots, knickerbockers, belly-exposing tank tops, and tattoos on her body that are also dragons and tigers to intimidate the government.

"Go to hell!"

Glenn stood up and cursed Garen. Seeing a telephone booth next to her, she immediately hid in it.

In all first-tier cities in Alan, the telephone booth communication network has been built. This is the gold content of Lagrande, the big celebrity in the royal court, who was mentioned by the emperor himself.

Galen was impressed by these people in the imperial capital. Their quality is not very good. They are not as polite as country people.

It took a few seconds.

"Hey, have you seen a girl with a dragon whale tattoo on her arm and two very thin and long ponytails?"

A group of guys with their faces covered in the hot weather surrounded Garen and questioned him.

This matter is too big.

The East Sea has changed its master, and Dollinger is doomed. Even if there are a few former allies supporting him and some communities of interest, they are blocked overseas.

It's just that Dollinger likes to do everything to the extreme. Most of his old friends have lost contact with him. Only one childhood friend who does business in Yalan is left. He has a very good relationship with him and is a person Dollinger trusts unconditionally. He has been fostering his only daughter in Yalan. He has a completely white foundation and has established a unique fund.

The bad news could not be concealed. When the mainland martial arts competition came, Ge Lian finally couldn't hold it back after more than half a year of mania.

Withdrawing 2,000 gold dragons from the fund, just because withdrawing all of them requires troublesome procedures, some of which need to be handled by her supervisor. There are about 20,000 gold dragons in the fund.

But it is impossible to overthrow Li Site with this money.

Ge Lian also wanted to make the ultimate move, earn 100,000 gold dragons, recruit soldiers and build a king's army, come back, and win! Put all your hopes on the mainland martial arts competition.

However, Ge Lian is still two months away from adulthood, and the child's idea can only be said to be... unreliable.

Her current supervisor immediately ordered someone to catch her back, so that Ge Lian would never think of going to the East China Sea again in her life. She has never been there, and she will never go there in this life.

Li Site is a ruthless person who dares to take a share of Ya Lan's war in Mulong, let alone such a big child, don't even think about provoking him.

Dolinger knows that he has countless enemies and has made enemies everywhere. He will soon pass his prime. Only Ge Lian's current supervisor knows that he just wants to completely clean up before his twilight years, and make a last gamble. He must go ashore and reunite with his family even if he loses eight hundred.

It's a pity that he died tragically at the hands of Li Site.

"No..."

Garen shook his head. Even though he didn't like the rebellious girl, he still covered her up.

"Damn it, split up and look for her!"

The masked man in the lead ordered more than ten or twenty people to spread out. They must find the orphan of the Taoist master, otherwise they would not be able to report to the man. After more than ten years of getting along, she was also raising her like a daughter.

Garen pretended to go into the phone booth to make a call. In fact, he knew clearly that the little girl might have something very important.

"Wait for me here."

Garen said to the deputy head.

The deputy head nodded and was also thinking whether he should gamble at the mainland martial arts competition. With so much savings, there were three or four gold dragons. What if it doubled to ten thousand?

The deputy leader smiled stupidly, it was just like buying a horse. In this way, you really have to take a good look at the lottery to find a good horse.

Galen entered the phone booth and locked the door.

The phone booths in the Imperial Capital are all closed, and the glass is all frosted to protect privacy and has a strong sound insulation effect. From the outside, you can only see the black grid and frosted glass, and you can only tell whether there is anyone inside.

Glenn was squatting on the ground cautiously, looking at the surroundings like a thief.

His eyebrows are somewhat similar to Dollinger's, and he looks like a handsome person.

Kazilan's big eyes widened when she noticed Galen coming in.

"What are you doing on the plane? Didn't you see anyone? Get out of here right now."

Galen took out a somewhat compact revolver from the leather bag hanging on her waist and pointed it at Galen, but it seemed that she had never killed anyone before. Her hands were shaking slightly and her breathing was rapid.

Galen raised his hands to express surrender. Damn it, this kind of indistinguishable child is the scariest thing. He actually doesn't want to kill, but because of his uncontrollable stress reaction, he will attack when he is irritated. gun.

"I'm helping you and covering you."

Galen was speechless, treating his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Otherwise, you are an underage girl, who would care about you.

He shook his head, inserted the coin, dialed the area code of Dugeli, and added the number of the Black Sail Manor, and it didn't take long for him to get through.

But it was also talking about the black-sailed dog pirates who wired the cables, talking about mortise-and-tenon structures and the like.

The useless chat lasted for more than twenty minutes.

Three copper coins per minute. Galen thought the cost was still high, so he spent more than one silver coin. Today was really a hemorrhage.

"They should leave, are you okay?"

Galen hung up the phone and looked at Glenn.

Unexpectedly, this guy looks very ruthless. He must have a very high family education. He listened to the obscene content for about half an hour, including many words that he had never heard of before.

Since entertainment activities on pirate ships are extremely rare, East China Sea pirate jokes are one of the few indescribable existences in the world that can be compared with northern prison jokes.

Galen is a native of Yalan. He originally thought that the call was boring and pretentious, but the operator on the other side made him addicted to talking. Donghai is really a place of outstanding people.

Glenn was stunned, her chin drooped like a cartoon character, and her face was so red that it was almost steaming.

Galen was dumbfounded. After the appraisal, he was a rebellious young lady with excellent tutoring.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Um, thank you..."

Glenn stood up and lifted her unique bangs on one side behind her ear.

"Also, do you have cerebral palsy? You lack common sense, so you do. Your appearance is quite eye-catching. I need to disguise it, at least cover your head."

Galen was speechless.

"Who wants you to take care of it!"

Glenn walked out the door angrily.

"Hey, where are you going? If you're going to the arena, buy me a ticket and I'll cover you."

Galen said this, preparing to extort some money from this eldest lady. She seemed ruthless, but in fact this girl might be quite stupid.

Galen blinked her eyes, pushed open the door of the phone booth and glanced outside. She was still a little scared, and she had a faint dependence on Galen. "Okay, you can help me with my advice. I don't know anything about fighting, and I don't know anyone." Know a few."

Although there will be some costs, Galen believes that even if it is the lottery, it must be seen. It is a necessary investment. By the way, let this stupid big guy explain who the contestants are and how many good horses must be selected.

Galen chuckled, this girl is so stupid.

Twenty minutes later.

Glenn bought high-priced tickets for Galen and the deputy captain to enter the Imperial Arena.

The deputy leader also really admires Galen. It seems that Black Sail has no business in abducting women and children. I kidnapped a minor for you.

Even though the ticket costs a few gold dragons, it is still a standing seat in the outer corner, with a big pillar standing next to it.

Unlike the auditions in various parts of Aram, the arena in a big city has several venues where fighting is going on non-stop.

The Empire Arena in the capital has only one venue, which is a so-called three-dimensional stage. It supports large-scale cultural performances and can also be turned into a ring. It is only for two people one-on-one. It does not need such a large area. A few dozen acres of land is enough. .

Concerned about the corner seats, which are far away from the ring in Liaodong, the details may not be clear at all, and there are large-screen images projected by crystals everywhere. The Royal Court of Yalan can fully afford a magic energy industry of this scale.

"It's such a corner location. It's better to look at it from the square outside. It's all crystal images anyway."

Ge Lian felt that the money was wasted. Yalan Wangting was so good at making money. The audience was many times bigger than the ring, and the people on the field looked like ants.

"If you don't come in, won't you give those who want to arrest you a chance?"

Galen is the top young lady who has ever played in Yunshang Palace. She is a well-organized person. The scene is indeed crowded and the momentum is huge.

The drawing of lots has now begun.

It was purely a machine lottery, and the director also cut the camera to the machine and the first player to draw lots.

The machine is exactly the same as a slot machine. It only has three digits, from 0 to 999, with a total of one thousand people. It keeps rotating at high speed. When to pull the lever, when to stop, it needs to be pulled three times. No matter how many numbers are drawn and how many numbers are drawn, the existing numbers will be eliminated by the system. This is the case in every round, and the people who are drawn will not be used to draw.

"Who is that guy?"

Glen asked Galen. He looked very powerful. He had a green face and fangs. He was an orc with a strong aura. Was he a good horse?

The low-level adventurers are all gossip madmen, and they don't leave anything behind in every issue of the guild newspaper.

"Little-known guys. There are many people in the Mainland Martial Arts Association who suddenly came out. They were not well-known before."

Galen said he had never seen it.

"Do you understand? Oh..."

Glenn sighed, she really expected to get rich through this.

The orcs were also happy and pulled the lever three times in a row without hesitation.

As the number froze, it was 212.

There is a wind breath stone, a magic energy mineral, to adjust the temperature in the arena. The hostess, who looks peaceful and peaceful even in gorgeous clothes on a hot day, is announcing. She is extremely professional and has a wonderful expression. "Contestant No. 212... is an adventurer from the Adventure Guild." ...The name is..."

The hostess paused wildly.

"This woman is so annoying!"

Glenn clenched her fists, wondering if she could finish her sentence at once.

"This is the setting..."

Galen thought it was a bit annoying to do this kind of trick all day long, but it was quite exciting. Today was the day when the odds were set, and everyone from all over the world couldn't help but spend a lot of money.

"Fierce Dragon! A palace-level adventurer known as the Divine Sword!"

The female host is announcing.

The whole place was boiling and bursting with excitement. It was so shocking when they arrived! What’s going on in the mainland martial arts competition this time!

The orc who drew the Xiaolong turned pale.

Martial arts... the difference between superiority and inferiority is also a matter of life and death.

After all, he was the strong one who made it to the finals and left the scene with all his strength.

"Who is Xiaolong? Why are these people reacting so loudly?"

Glenn asked curiously.

"If you want to make a sure profit, just keep buying this person, but the odds won't be too high. Even if you bet correctly, you'll probably make one or two percent of your bet. All you need to know is that this person is awesome. But it's also possible It depends on who Xiaolong beats, and the odds are different in each game. "

Galen said calmly.

The crystal influence on a main screen was replaced by other content, showing that the competition between player No. 0 Zam and player No. 212 Xiaolong has started, and you can place bets at the dealer designated by Wang Ting with your identity card.

Although it is overcrowded, the betting channels are open and countless dealers are at your service. You cannot be careless about making money and pumping money.

Wang Tinghui draws 10% of the water, which seems very small, but is actually faster than printing money. In a hot gambling game, millions of gold dragons can do it. Don't underestimate the gambling dogs all over the world.

Of course, the specific number will not be displayed, only the odds will be displayed, because after encountering some extremely wealthy gamblers from above, as well as all the gambling dogs in the Western Continent, during the finals of the top 16 on September 9, the money in the pond will be , it's got to be nine fucking figures.

This is a way for state agencies and local forces to make money in completely different dimensions.

"Want to buy? Buy Xiaolong to win?"

Glenn was very nervous. How much should she invest if she wanted to buy it? She doesn't quite understand.

"Fuck, I really have to be your adviser, you don't understand at all. Before the competition is closed, you can buy it at any time, then observe and choose some games that are promising, have good odds, and are profitable. , Xiaolong's game is not interesting, I guess I won by buying him, and I can't make any profit. You can buy Xiaolong's opponent, buy a few dozen silver coins, and try to get an upset, but the possibility is not high, let's wait and see."

Although Galen didn't have much capital, Chen Daozai used 20 yuan to win 37 million, and I used Hardware Dragon to win 100 million. It was not a problem.

First lay an ambush and observe the situation.

"I'll go...it's quite exciting. I'll buy it with you. Don't run away these days. I'll hire you to gamble with me."

Glenn held her arms in her arms and her throat was rolling, which was quite interesting.

"Forehead……"

Galen felt like he was kidnapping a woman from a good family, but it didn't matter, money was not a problem for the rich sister.

Immediately it was the next contestant's turn to draw lots.

At this moment.

Sarrett has also come to the backstage of the arena. His number is 693. If he is drawn, there is no need to go up and shake.

In the closed lounge backstage.

"Why the hell are you still here?"

Sarrett was speechless. The security of the Empire Arena was very tight, but this guy who was also the strongest in the Thieves Guild actually followed him.

"I took a look. Kaiden is number 355. I can shake her out."

Ben, who was dressed as a royal soldier, said.

Swann was a cautious person and did not follow him when it was not necessary. But Ben was a bit crazy. He actually observed a royal soldier for a while and found that this person had a simple social relationship, so he killed him and played it in Yi Rong.

Sarrett was already feeling uneasy. Now he was not in a hotel, but at a martial arts event. The security was very tight. He was truly a shadow messenger.

Show your flaws and see how you end up.

"I can shake a few."

Sarrett couldn't help but explode.

"Fuck, the beauty specialist in charge of you is here, let me wet it."

Ben pretends to be on patrol and leaves Sarratt.

Sarrett just closed his eyes and rested his mind. He wanted to fight for a breath, not to prove that he was great, but to get back what he had lost.
