Chapter 470
At the time of the silver moon, it was midnight.
The bands playing on the patio stage left one after another, the lights in the third layer and the fourth layer went out one by one, leaving only the faint candlelight on each table, and it was still bright as daylight under the crystal chandelier Patio stage.
Darkness brought the entire banquet hall into tranquility, and also focused everyone's eyes on the stage in the center of the patio.
In the center of the light, there is a round table and two chairs.
"My friends, and the most distinguished guests!"
I don’t know when, the smiling President Clermont has stood in the center of the stage, open his arms and humble The lowered head: "Welcome everyone to take time out of their busy schedule and visit our shop. My fellow Clermont only represents the gem Chamber of Commerce and fellow colleagues and distinguished adults. I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks to everyone."
"And at this Once a month event tonight, we are very honored to have two distinguished guests who have come from a long distance-Byrne Duchy, the heir of the Chamber of Commerce Young Master Young; and... the wizard advisor of His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion, Lord Viscount Loren Torino!"
"In the past, we always had to talk a little bit of wit before the official start. And imperial traditions; but today...I know what everyone is looking forward to, so I don’t want to be long-winded at all. I solemnly declare here..."
"Big game, let’s start! Start——! "
The loud voice resounded through the silent banquet hall, and the echoes faintly echoed for a long time; everyone invariably stopped what they were doing and cast their eyes on.
On the originally empty stage, the two are already sitting opposite each other at the gaming table.
Curious, surprised, friendly, malicious...All kinds of eyes kept converging on him. The expressionless black hair wizard crossed his fingers and listened quietly to the whispers from the audience. .
"This is the wizard consultant, who came back from the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain?"
"It is said to be a Lothar, how come his name resembles a southerner..."
p>"Torino...couldn't be a branch of the Torino family..."
"That's true. There will be a good show tonight. I heard that he just won Twenty Twenty How about 10,000 Silver Coin..."
"Only two hundred thousand? But being able to beat that guy on the chessboard...interesting, really interesting..."
In the sight of many curious eyes , A pair of crystal clear and near-transparent, gem-like eyes showed a bit of amazement, staring at the guy sitting across from Little Yod in disbelief, couldn't believe his eyes.
This guy... didn't he solemnly vowed telling himself that he wanted the wizards to be loyal to Brandon? Why would he have spare time to come to such a place?
While the owner of these eyes was astonished, he found another girl who was looking at this black hair wizard like herself, and she was still red-haired and red-eyed...
Well...Who will look at me again?
The "black-rimmed glasses" with a numb expression stunned, but when she looked back, she didn't find any eyes. She shrugged indifferently, and continued looking towards Loren Torino on the stage.
I didn’t notice the black hair wizard he was discovered by someone, and he was looking intently at the little Yod who was also staring at him; the other party seemed to have been accustomed to this kind of all the stars cup themselves around. the moon general feeling.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered." Little Yod with a weird smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly said, his expression still has several points of mysterious: "Your Excellency Loren Torino, you know Charlotte Torino female count?"
The other party’s sudden question made the black hair wizard vigilant: "There is only one side relationship, not knowing you, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the female count came tonight. I invited her to come." Under the stage lights, the blatant little Jod's smile became more and more faintly proud:
"It's a pity, the female count doesn't seem to be interested in this banquet. She had already left when I met you-otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing. Would you say that she would cheer for my male partner, or would she Applause for you?"
"Yeah, who knows."
The black hair wizard's painless answer made little Jod a little frustrated-he was expecting Can stimulate this conjurer a little bit, but in the end it seems that he underestimated him.
But it doesn’t matter! Anyway, he would never get out of this room tonight...Thinking about this, the smile on Jr. Yod's face grew a little more hideous, and even his cheeks twitched slightly.
Imperial Family entourage, what about the wizard advisor of His Royal Highness? I want you to kneel here today! Pray for me, fawn on me, cry with a hoarse face, let me forgive you in a humble manner--! ! ! !
While the two were chatting, Chairman Claremont, who was smiling next to him, had already prepared the chips and the gambling game for both parties. Neither too big nor too small was stacked on the table. With one million Silver Coin chips, the hill-like gold coin occupies almost the area of the table 2/3/2021.
At the same time, there was a dumbfounded voice from the pitch-black audience...Although the distinguished guests who can come to this place are worth more than ten times the value of these chips, I want them to take it directly. One million Silver Coin is almost impossible.
Whether they are Chamber of Commerce merchants or wealthy aristocrats, their property is all territories, manors and castles, or large and small Chamber of Commerce and caravans, as well as hoarded goods... There are definitely not many people who have given out millions of Silver Coin cash at a time.
"Since the two are ready, then the big game officially begins-according to the previous agreement between the two parties, it is divided into two games, the dice and the card game, and there is no time limit until someone concedes or loses. So far as the chips are gone, do you have any objections?"
After Clermont stepped back, an old hair grey-white croupier in a deep blue dress walked up to the stage and looked blankly. Holding two people.
"No!" The two eyes facing each other opened the mouth and said at the same time.
"Then let me explain the rules of dice-rolling for the two of you." The old croupier opened the mouth and said in a deep voice: "The dice-rolling in this shop is slightly different from other places, especially for the big game. It’s the most difficult."
"In short, there are a total of three dice in each round. Both parties need to guess the final points and then bet on any number from three to eighteen. You can choose again within ten seconds of the previous countdown; in short, it is slightly similar to roulette."
"The difference lies in the chips that both sides bet-if one side is betting Bet 200,000 on each of the five numbers. Then the other party must bet at least 200,000 on one number before the bet is considered to be established."
"Apart from this, every time Rounds are based on the bet numbers, and the rest are not counted; each bet cannot exceed five numbers."
"According to the agreement between the two parties, the minimum limit for each round is 500,000—if any If one party abstains, he must pay at least 500,000 Silver Coin chips and chips to the winner."
Speaking of this, the old croupier's forehead also has a drop of cold sweat...Although this is not his first Once presided over the "big gambling game", but the scene where the bet reached half a million in one round, it was the first time he saw him in his life!
Wiping his forehead, the old croupier who recovered his calm once again opened the mouth and said with a calm voice: "Finally, and the most important thing, the tradition of the big game in Golovin."
"Traditional?"
"Yes, it is also something that challengers throughout the ages will do." The old croupier's expression suddenly became very serious:
"Under the shining of the Holy Cross;"
"Under the eye;"
"In this contest between wealth and destiny, please make a bet Honor, faith, and dignity distinguished guests, light up the golden cup of tonight's'big gambling game'——!"
The loud voice echoed in the banquet hall for a long time, in the eyes of everyone, the dome In the center of the crystal chandelier, a gold cup full of complicated patterns, like a gold cup the size of a brazier, slowly descends, hovering in the air, facing the gaming table below.
The solemn old croupier held a torch in his right hand, and all the guests waited quietly.
"cough cough cough...I have already ordered it once." Jade said with a smile: "Why not let Viscount Loren come this time, how about?"
Looking at his grinning face, and the corner of the mouth of torch Loren that the old dealer next to him handed him over, a icy arc was conjured up.
Although I don't know the reason, this golden cup deliberately hovering in midair is definitely intentional by "some people". From this position, I have to stand on the gambling table.
If you are not careful, you will lose your face... It's a good plot against.
But well...
"No need to be so troublesome." Loren smiled softly, raising his left hand and snapping his fingers.
"Bang——!!!"
When the fire burst, the smile still froze on Jr. Yod's face, but the golden cup above his head was already burning.
In the banquet hall, there was a sound of exclamation, and even the "black-rimmed glasses" in the audience were stared and wide-eyed.
Loren, with a curved corner of his mouth, still sitting on the chair, very calmly spread his arms and spread his hands:
"Let’s... let’s start?"
