I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 320 Total War (9)

"Miss, this is your money." The banker smiled and pushed a hundred gold coins in front of Ellie. It could be seen from his face that there was some embarrassment in his smile.

"Are these all mine?" Ellie looked at the gold coins in front of her at a loss.

"Yes, you won just now. You lost a hundred gold coins, so you won a hundred gold coins." Edward immediately explained after confirming that he was not blinded. "Ah? So easy? Can I continue playing?"

"Whatever." Edward began to wonder in his mind at this moment, calculating whether the remaining money would be enough.

"Okay, I'll bet on this this time." Ellie said, pushing all the money in front of the door to the fifty position, and bet on the single number again.

Edward originally thought that Ellie could stop after playing a few more times, but Ellie's movements were obviously much faster than his thinking.

Before Edward could stop her, she had already put down all the money again.

"My God, this girl actually has no concept of money compared to me." When Edward saw it, he felt as if he had fallen from heaven to hell.

The dealer didn't bother anymore. When he saw Ellie settling the money, he immediately rolled the roulette wheel again, for fear that Ellie would regret it.

I saw the small silver ball rolling rapidly in the roulette wheel. Gradually, as the speed of the roulette wheel became slower and slower, the small ball began to move closer to the groove on the edge of the roulette wheel.

After bouncing on the border several times, the ball finally stopped in the white groove that represented fifty. "Edward! Look! I won again." After the ball stopped, Ellie was immediately excited.

The ground shouted.

"Miss, you are really lucky. This is yours." Although the banker's face was still smiling at the moment, it was obvious that the smile was uglier than crying. "How about it? Do it again?"

"That's enough, Ellie. Stop playing. We should go." Edward immediately took Ellie's hand.

"Ah. Okay. Let's talk about it next time. That's it for today." Ellie thought for a moment and immediately obeyed Edward's wishes, put away the gold coins and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, miss. What, are you going to walk away after winning the money?" The dealer said maliciously when he saw Ellie getting up.

While he was speaking, several other big men had secretly walked up to Edward and Ellie, surrounding them, and several others had also quietly walked to the door of the tavern.

"Well, I've had enough fun today. I don't want to continue. Let's play again when we have a chance." Ellie seemed not to realize the intentions of those people, and pocketed the gold coins in front of her one by one as if no one was watching.

Ellie's move obviously angered the dealer. Although Ellie said her words unintentionally, it seemed that the girl in front of her clearly didn't take him seriously.

I saw him quietly winking at the people around him, and most of them walked aside knowingly. At this time, only Ellie and Edward were left in the store.

"Miss, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good if you just walked away after winning so much money." The dealer saw that everyone except Edward had already walked away, and he became bolder now.

"No? What's wrong? I won these, of course I have to take them away. I'm willing to admit defeat. What do you mean?" Ellie looked at the dealer strangely, and then answered impatiently.

"How's it going?" the dealer glanced at Ellie coldly and continued, "If you are wise, leave the money and leave immediately."

"Why should I keep the money? This is what I earned. Why should I keep it?" Ellie felt a little angry and wanted to love her. When Dehua told her the rules just now, he didn't seem to mention that he would take it after winning.

Money matters.

"You..." The dealer was about to get angry, but he looked at Ellie again, and a rather evil idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

He confidently looked at Edward behind Ellie and estimated that he should be Ellie's companion or bodyguard or something.

Although he may have been a mercenary, there are more than ten of them here, and several of them have worked as mercenaries. It doesn't take much effort to deal with him.

As for the Ellie in front of him, he could tell that he definitely didn't have any martial arts skills. It could be seen from Ellie's slender hands that they were not the material to wield a sword at all.

"Okay, you can take it away if you want.

But, you have to stay with me tonight, how about it?"

"With you? Why? We don't seem to know each other very well."

"Ellie, that's enough, ignore them. Let's go back." Edward naturally wouldn't take a few gangsters seriously, but since this place has been occupied by the Phylicians, Edward naturally doesn't want to cause any trouble, and Edward

He also doesn't want the thoughts of those worldly villains to affect Ellie. After all, in his opinion, Ellie is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

"Boy, you'd better leave and keep your woman. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Seeing the two of them pretending to be stupid and the other completely ignoring him, he immediately became angry.

"What's wrong? I've never seen you like this. You won't let people leave if you lose? What's the point? If you want to fight..." Before Edward could finish speaking, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing from behind.

.

"The truth? I am the truth here." The dealer interrupted Edward before he could finish his words, and the big man who had been standing behind Edward suddenly picked up the iron rod in his hand and hit Edward directly on the back of the head.

However, his movements had long been seen by Edward. In his opinion, the big man's movements seemed as slow as a turtle and ridiculous.

Edward tilted his head slightly to avoid the blow, then stepped back and "gently" touched the big man with his back.

Then the big man felt as if he had been hit in the chest by an iron block weighing several tons. He was immediately knocked out and fell against the wall, losing the ability to move.

"You...brothers, go ahead and chop up that foreigner." The dealer shouted immediately when he saw that one of his own had suffered a loss.

Then, several big men surrounding Edward took out their weapons and rushed towards Edward with strange screams. However, Edward didn't pay attention to those people who had almost no martial arts and relied purely on brute force.

In his opinion, even if there were more than a hundred people at that level, it would still be useless.

As if for fun, he punched and kicked several big men who came up to them, making them grimace.

After almost one round of fighting, they lost the ability to move and could not get up.

After watching his companion being beaten to the ground casually by his opponent, the banker felt that he might have hit a brick wall. The mercenary in front of him was already stronger than he imagined.

However, he suddenly discovered that Ellie did not hide in the corner but was sitting at the gambling table in front of him, watching attentively as Edward knocked several big men to the ground one by one.

The dealer caught the girl, so that he might be able to force the soldier into submission.

The dealer's mind immediately flashed with that idea. So he quietly walked around behind Ellie and pounced with a sharp knife in hand.

Just when he saw that he was about to catch Ellie, he suddenly felt numbness around him, and then his whole body was bounced away several meters away.

Before he passed out, he saw a faint blue wave appearing next to the girl.

"Oh my god, am I mistaken? That woman is actually a magician." This was the last thought in the banker's mind.

A few minutes later, Edward and Ellie left the crowded tavern and returned to the hotel.

"Edward, I find gambling very interesting." Ellie said with a smile, "Take me to play again next time you have a chance."

"Okay, as long as you like it, of course it's okay." Seeing Ellie talk about gambling so nonchalantly, with an innocent smile on her face, Edward felt a little chilled.

But the only thing that made him happy was that the travel expenses had been completely paid and he had made new discoveries.

"You can win two games in a row even if you press the numbers. Could it be that Ellie is the God of Luck in the casino? If that's the case, the problem of travel expenses can be completely solved."

After two months of wandering, Edward and Ellie finally arrived at Cassos, a small town near the core of lava.

This town is the last supply point leading to the core of lava. Many desperate adventure teams make their final supplies in this town, and then enter the core of lava to gamble with their lives on the huge wealth that may exist.

Although it is still quite far away from the core of lava, the extremely hot weather there really made Edward suffer.

The first thing he did when he entered the town was to change his iron half-body light armor and wear a set of leather armor instead.

According to him, wearing metal armor, let alone entering the core of lava, the high temperature outside is enough to turn the person inside the armor into a teppanyaki.

On the other hand, Ellie doesn't care about the change of weather, but that's right, what else can you say to a magician who can turn on the frost barrier as a cooling tool around the clock.

After learning that they were going to the core of lava, the innkeeper immediately enthusiastically recommended various adventure equipment to them, including some leather armors claimed to be made from real dragon scales, and some magic crystals that stored water magic.

However, Edward has no interest in those things at all. Those so-called dragon scale leather armors are actually just the products of some large lizards. It is impossible to know the real dragon scales, not to mention the real dragons, even pseudo-dragons or terrain dragons.

When used to make armor, it is so strong that you cannot thread the thread smoothly and cannot sew at all.

Although there are many ways to cut dragon scales, it is impossible to cut fine holes to sew leather armor. And those magic crystals, even Edward, who does not know much about magic, know that they are just crystal stones with quite inferior ingredients.

, the meager magic power is almost of no help to a sixth-level magician like Ellie. Do you think pouring a bowl of water into a huge reservoir and the increased amount of water will have any effect?

However, because he was not familiar with the road to the core of lava, Edward still asked his boss to hire a guide.

After throwing two gold coins to the innkeeper with a jackal-like smile, the boss immediately found him a guide to take them to the entrance of the Lava Core.

Although the prices in this town are a bit ridiculous, Edward can still cope with it by relying on the money he won from casinos and taverns in various towns along the way.

The man leading the way was a man in his thirties. Perhaps due to the local climate, the man's skin was tanned by the sun.

He didn't say much along the way, and just led the two of them through the bare mountains.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that the three of them finally arrived near the entrance of the canyon in the core of lava.

As soon as he got close to it, Edward was immediately knocked over by the heat wave that hit his face.

"Are you mistaken? This temperature is too exaggerated." Edward wiped his forehead. In fact, there was no sweat on his head. Even if there was any sweat, it would have been evaporated by the high temperature in an instant.

"You two, I can only send you here. Going further is beyond the reach of ordinary people." After the guide said this, he wanted to check out and leave.

Edward didn't say much and threw him a few gold coins casually. However, the man did not leave immediately after taking the money, and asked him to add more if it was not enough.

Although those few gold coins were enough for an ordinary person to live for a month, Edward really couldn't compliment the guide's greedy face.

So he reluctantly threw a few gold coins to the guide and then turned around and took Ellie into the entrance of the canyon.

"Oh, why are you two planning to go into the core of lava to make a fortune? Forget it, instead of letting your money turn into lava, why not let me help you spend it. You two guys don't know how high the sky is and how high it is." The guide cursed.

He picked up the gold coins scattered on the ground and left immediately.

Edward and Ellie were walking cautiously towards the center of the valley on the only place in the valley that looked like a road.

Since there are active volcanoes everywhere, the entire valley is filled with a pungent smell of sulfur.

When the two of them walked to a lower place, the smell became stronger and stronger, and some light yellow smoke appeared in the air, slowly falling to the ground.

At this time, Ellie felt that she couldn't stand the choking smell. Then she used a wind magic to stir up the surrounding air, and the smell of sulfur immediately became much lighter.

At this time, Edward suddenly discovered that there were many bones scattered around, which seemed to be the remains of some adventurers.

Seeing the light yellow smoke that had just been blown up by Ellie's magic slowly falling from the sky, an ominous thought appeared in Edward's mind.

"Ellie, use wind magic again. Damn it, this place is dangerous. Hurry!" Edward immediately shouted to Ellie beside him before he had time to think about it.

Ellie nodded, and immediately a blue magic wave appeared next to her again, and spread out again, creating a whirlwind.

After Ellie had just finished using her magic, Edward immediately grabbed her arm, pushed hard with his feet, and relied on his own fighting spirit to lift Ellie into the air. The two of them successfully passed through the low-lying land just now.

"Edward, it hurts. You're hurting me. Why are you pulling me away so hard?" Maybe she was unprepared just now. She was pulled by Edward for a long distance, and Ellie felt a pain in her wrist.

"I'm sorry, I was too hasty just now and didn't explain it clearly to you." Edward immediately let go and continued apologetically, "The place just now was very strange. I suspect that the yellow smoke was poisonous." "Those things are poisonous? Why?"
