Chapter 420 All he said were my words
Night is coming.
Another place.
Sarah put her hands on the table and looked grim: "As expected, Juarez's ship has set off now. In two days, they will return with the news. Everyone is ready. Whether it succeeds or not, In one fell swoop!”
The crew members sitting around the table all looked serious and responded to each other's voices.
Some of them followed Sarah very early, and some joined later. But without exception, each of them has put a lot of effort into this matter, and no one wants to see problems with the plan at the last minute.
And Sarah has been dormant for this for fifteen years. She is the one who wants revenge most.
Lucci had already started taking action before she landed in Bilgewater.
Poloka was just the target that she had to take action at the end of the day, even if she didn't hesitate to expose him.
This guy was valued by Planck not only because he was a licking bitch, but also because he had a dog nose with a keen sense of smell.
Whenever there is any disturbance, he will definitely notice it.
This is why Gangplank left him to oversee Bilgewater.
If he is not eliminated, it will be difficult for Sarah to launch operations in Bilgewater.
Gangplank will definitely not let her go so easily. When the carnival of his triumphant return is over, it will be time to settle the score.
She knew him too well.
Unfortunately, she will take action before then.
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Sarah's face, and the coldness radiating from her whole body seemed to make the surrounding air drop a few degrees.
Then Sarah raised her eyes and looked at Lu Qi: "You and I go somewhere."
Gangplank had left the Baru Temple and returned to his territory.
His face was expressionless, and he exuded an aura of calmness and authority. He was wearing a new gray mink and was cutting orange peels with a dagger.
"Tell me about Poloka."
"Basically consistent with what Masili said, Poloka first sent people to rob the pretty boy, but was defeated. In anger, he issued a reward. That night, the bounty hunter took people to Poloka's The lair will be destroyed with one shot."
A thin man with sinister features carefully explained the situation, without even daring to raise his head.
"Is this really true?" Plank's voice was lukewarm, with no emotion at all.
"I can guarantee that it's absolutely true. After that Miss Fortune killed someone, she jumped out of the window and ran away. Afterwards, Poloka's men were also found by their enemies."
The thin man quickly reported what happened next.
As he spoke, he seemed to feel a spreading coldness, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"How brave." Plank lightly bit off half of the peeled orange, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "It turns out that when I'm not here, those people don't take me seriously at all. What a cat and a dog." You dare to jump out. Okay, just step back."
"I'll take my leave, little one."
The man left quickly.
The sound of chewing could be heard in the small room. Slightly sour oranges were Gangplank's favorite. He finished one with an expressionless expression, and then stood up indifferently.
After all, they are just some unscrupulous people and unknown people who only dare to make trouble when he is not around.
But now that he is back, any storm will subside, and Bilgewater will finally belong to him alone.
It was a pity that Poloka died. Naturally, he would not easily let go of the bounty hunter who dared to kill him.
You know, he always retaliates, so how could a sapphire bribe him?
It's called Miss Fortune, right?
A red-haired figure flashed in his mind, and Plank had no more impressions.
How could a guy that he couldn't even remember be so good?
For now, let her live for a while, and when the temple sacrifices are finished, he will settle the score with her.
other end.
"Where are you going again?"
Lucci couldn't help but ask as he followed Sarah towards the upper city of Bilgewater.
Sarah said: "If you go to meet a guy, whether the next plan will work depends on how he performs."
Lu Qi understood.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a casino in the upper city. The place was splendidly decorated and had a strong atmosphere of luxury. Noisy shouts were constantly coming from inside, and it was very lively.
Sarah wore a broad hat that barely covered her delicate face. But even so, her outstanding figure still attracted the attention of many people, but these eyes were quickly diverted.
In a place like a casino, the playing cards and dice on the table are obviously more attractive than women.
As long as you win money here, women will fall in love with you when you leave.
After Sarah came in, her eyes looked around the venue, and finally her eyes fell on a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a curly beard.
The way he dressed and behaved carried the elegance of a nobleman, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, making people feel harmless.
Even his actions of flipping cards and collecting money were gentle and graceful.
In contrast, the gambler opposite him had red eyes, he had lost so much, and he slapped the table angrily.
"It looks like I'm the winner again, Molt, you're not having much luck today."
The man said with a chuckle.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm about to make a fortune, come again!" Molt growled, took out the last money and sprinkled it on the table, and then urged the cards to be dealt.
Sarah saw the scene in the distance, curled her lips, approached Lu Qi and whispered to him: "Find a way to win all that guy's money, I will wait for him outside."
Hot breath came out of her mouth and blew on Lu Qi's earlobe, but she didn't seem to notice it.
I don't know if it's intentional or not.
After saying that, she turned around and left, leaving Lu Qi here.
Lu Qi was slightly stunned when he saw her leaving so easily. He thought that this bad luck girl trusted him too much, right?
How could she be sure that she could win all the money from the guy who was killing everyone at first sight?
However, Sarah did have such confidence at this moment. She believed that it would not be difficult for Lu Qi to win all the money from a gambler.
She originally planned to use some means to do this, but with Lu Qi around, she changed her mind.
When Lu Qi saw that the bad luck girl was really gone, he had no choice but to take a step towards the gambling table.
There were many people gathered around the gambling table, some of them were real spectators with excitement, greed, and jealousy, and some of them were waiting for rewards from those who won money.
In short, under the uproar, the gambling game between the two came to an end.
The flipping of the cards once again caused an uproar.
"Two pairs are greater than one, Molt loses again!"
"Oh, this guy is so unlucky."
"Tsk, tsk, I lost everything."
There was a lot of discussion around, inevitably mixed with gloating and joy. In a place like a casino, it is normal for a family's fortune to be lost in one day.
Molt's momentum weakened, and he became a little more decadent. He glanced at the card table unwillingly, but he could only stand up and leave lonely.
"I can only blame my good luck today."
Seeing another rich guy become impoverished because of himself, the sense of accomplishment that emerged in Drizzt's heart almost made every cell of him intoxicated.
He likes the feeling of winning all other people's money.
I also like the thrill of gambling. If you fail, you will lose everything. This is so exciting.
Although, Lady Luck is on his side most of the time.
"It seems that today's gambling is over."
After waiting for a while and seeing no one sitting down, Drizzt planned to take the money and leave.
At this moment, a figure sat where Molt had left, showing a smile that was more harmless than him: "Do you mind if I come and play a couple of games?"
For some reason, Drizzt felt a sense of danger in this guy, and the playing cards in his pocket trembled.
But looking at this guy, he became interested.
It seems that I have met an interesting opponent.
I just don’t know what expression he will show when I win all his money later?
Drizzt was looking forward to it. He put away what he had just done and sat down again, showing a gentle smile: "Of course I don't mind. I'm eager to meet a worthy opponent. But I need a certain amount of gambling money to get on the table. I don't know if you Whether it is available.”
"Are these enough?" Lu Qi casually placed a bag of gold coins in front of him, opened the bag, and the golden color spilled out, attracting the eyes of the people around him.
Their breathing quickened.
Drizzt's eyes also narrowed. He was very experienced and could conclude that there were at least hundreds of gold coins in the bag, even without using his hands.
Great customer service!
"Not only is it enough, but it is more than enough." Drizzt clasped his hands together, and then stretched them outward to relieve the fatigue of his fingers. "What do you call me, brother?"
"Lucci."
"Just call me Fitch. What are you going to play? Regular poker? Or blackjack? Or dice?"
Drizzt asked confidently.
"Let's play regular poker first." Lu Qi always had a harmless smile on his face.
The so-called regular poker has similar rules to the Texas Hold'em that Lu Qi knows.
There are 52 playing cards in total, and there is no trump card. At the beginning of each card game, each player received two cards as "hole cards". After that, the dealer turned out a total of five "community cards" three times. Each time the cards were dealt, it was a betting circle, and then there was a betting circle. Game.
After confirming that no one else was involved, the two men's bet began.
After a few rounds of unremarkable exchanges, Drizzt briefly checked out the situation and was about to start exerting his strength.
On the poker table, he was basically invincible.
Regarding cards, he has had a special ability since he was a child. When he activates this ability, he can almost feel the position of every card in the deck.
Therefore, he knows every hand of cards dealt.
At the same time, he also has another ability, which is luck.
When it comes to gambling, his luck will not be too bad. But it's not too good. Many times he is just right in a slightly higher position.
This is why he usually doesn't win big money.
But on this kind of gambling table, it is completely enough.
After waiting for several decks of cards, Drizzt finally had the opportunity to take action. As the dealer dealt out the two back cards, he grabbed them and took a look.
Although he already knew what it was, he still liked the moment when he saw the cards, a pair of aces as expected.
And Lu Qi is a pair of kings.
He threw out a few silver coins, not too much, not too little, and chose to 'check'. Only by playing the long game could he catch the big fish.
The dealer dealt the cards, one A and one K. If calculated, the cards for both of them were already high.
It was Lucci's turn, and he threw out five gold coins, and then it was Drizzt's turn.
Following up slowly, the dealer dealt the cards for the second round.
A 9 and a 3 have nothing to do with the cards in their hand, but it doesn't matter.
"After so many petty fights, it seems like it's time to get serious." Drizzt chuckled, counted out thirty gold coins, stacked them together, and pushed them to the front, "Thirty gold coins."
Suddenly there were shouts of exclamation all around, and the eyes of the onlookers became excited one by one, finally seeing the scene they wanted to see.
Seeing Drizzt place a big bet, Lucci seemed to be lost in thought.
Naturally, he already knew the identity of the other party.
It is the card master - Drizzt.
Miss Luck really gave him a problem.
It would be difficult to win all of Drizzt's money through normal means or a competition of skills.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be called a card master.
Fortunately, Lu Qi didn't intend to compete with him technically at first.
At this moment, behind Drizzt, a slender figure that only Luqi could see was floating in the air. After taking a look at Drizzt's cards, he said: "His hand is a pair of Aces. You seem to Gonna lose."
Janna's pleasant voice sounded, and she seemed to be quite immersed in watching it.
After hearing this, Lu Qi showed a smile to Drizzt: "It seems that your cards are not small. In this case, I will give up."
As he spoke, he threw two cards in his hand towards the dealer, which was equivalent to giving up.
Seeing this scene, Drizzt raised his brows slightly, looked at Lucci again, and smiled, "You guessed it right, what a pity."
He put away the money on the table. Although he won a few gold coins, he was not happy at all.
He was a little surprised by Lu Qi's reaction. He had three kings in his hand and he would actually fold in this round?
A bit unconventional, right?
Could it be that he knew his trump card?
Without even thinking about it, Drizzt rejected it directly. After traveling around the gambling table for many years, he had never met anyone like him.
Moreover, this ability was born with him, so there was only one possibility.
The other party is a master of gambling, with keen judgment and intuition.
Therefore, in the next few games, Drizzt continued to test and finally confirmed this.
Lu Qi did not have the ability to read cards, but his intuition and judgment were very sharp, which brought him a lot of pressure.
This kind of opponent is often the most difficult to deal with, and their fighting spirit must be slowly drained. Drizzt can be sure that as long as he is a gambler, there will be times when he gets the upper hand.
As a result, the two of them each held their own little thoughts and continued to play games on the gambling table.
The people watching around gradually began to yawn and felt bored.
The scene of the fierce fight they expected did not appear at all. The two of them seemed to be here to play a card game.
Either this hand is folded or that hand is folded, and the next table is more interesting than this one.
Soon, the two of them switched from regular poker to blackjack, and they were still evenly matched, and it was hard to tell the winner.
As time passed by, the two of them kept changing their ways of playing poker, and no one took the initiative to leave.
As for cheating, they won't do that anymore. They see that the other party is a master, and cheating in public is tantamount to courting death.
Lu Qi knew that he would definitely not be able to beat Drizzt, an old gambler, by just dealing cards like this.
Because he probably has a special ability to sense the position of each card.
Therefore, he needs to wait patiently, slowly stimulate Drizzt's gambler mentality, and wait for an opportunity.
After a while, the smell of smoke floated in the casino, making people feel dizzy.
Drizzt now felt that his temples were swollen, his eyes were sore and weak, and his brain was aching. He knew that he had gambled for too long and that excessive activation of his abilities would do this.
The use of mental power has reached its limit and can no longer be used.
We can't drag it on like this any longer, we must find a way to end this gamble quickly.
He observed his opponent, and Lu Qi's state was also affected, and it seemed that his nerves were tense until the last moment.
At this moment, Lu Qi took the initiative to spread his hands and said: "If this continues, I don't know when it will end. Let's just do the big thing and win or lose in one round."
Drizzt suddenly became interested, and there was a hint of gambler's enthusiasm in his eyes. He asked: "Okay, I like the spirit of being willing to play. How do you want to bet?"
"There are fifty-two cards, just bet on one, A is the highest, 2 is the smallest, and the dice will be used to decide who draws first."
Lu Qi briefly introduced the rules.
Drizzt's eyes lit up and he almost laughed uncontrollably.
Fighting for luck?
And winning or losing is determined by one round.
This was playing right into his hands.
You know, even if Drizzt doesn't activate his abilities, he can still win money at the gambling table by relying on his own luck.
Because he knows that when it comes to gambling, Lady Luck must be on his side.
He is not a lucky person, but his luck is never too bad, and he has never lost in this regard.
No matter how you think about it, his winning rate is very high.
However, he did not show the ecstasy in his heart, but nodded calmly: "Okay, that's it, we will win or lose in one round!"
As soon as they heard that one round would determine the outcome, the surrounding spectators became excited and cheered up.
The two of them had an equal amount of money on the table at the moment, and this was all Drizzt had.
Their money was stacked together, the dealer shuffled the cards, and then slid the cards on the table. The fifty-two memorized cards were neatly arranged.
Drizzt closed his eyes, as if recharging his energy. In fact, he is using his remaining mental power to sense every card.
However, his fists in his sleeves were clenched, but there was no reaction at all, and the activation failed. Sure enough, the frequent activation of his ability still produced a load. At this time, his mind was buzzing and he had a constant headache.
It seems that it can only really depend on luck.
Drizzt opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a calm smile: "There is no need to compare dice, you choose first."
He believes in his luck and will not make mistakes.
"Really, then I'm not welcome."
Lu Qi raised his slender fingers, placed them on the cards, crossed them one by one, finally settled on one, and then lifted it up.
Immediately, there was a sigh, and the onlookers seemed to have seen the loser of this duel.
At this time, what was held in Lu Qi's hand was a 3.
The smallest card next to 2.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Drizzt's mouth also curled up, and his whole body relaxed.
Sure enough, Lady Luck was on his side.
No matter how he thought about it, he had no reason to lose. After regaining his composure, Drizzt stretched out his hand and reached towards his designated position, and said confidently: "It seems that this game is about to end."
But he didn't notice the smile on Lu Qi's face.
"We agreed that we can't do it without three kinds of desserts afterwards."
Janna stood in the air, with one hand on her waist, and the other hand clicked her fingers.
With a confident smile still on his face, Drizzt slowly lifted up a card.
The next second, his smile froze on his face and became a little stiff.
Suddenly, there were louder sighs and surprises all around. People were dumbfounded and even a little unbelievable.
What's even more incredible is Drizzt himself.
The piece of paper he picked up between his fingers had a number clearly written on it.
2.
The smallest card!
A card smaller than 3!
There is an extremely low probability that it will appear in Drizzt's hands at this moment.
His whole body was numb, as if he had become a statue. Looking at the "2", the disbelief in his eyes could not dissipate for a long time.
"This is too outrageous!"
"Yeah, I thought I was guaranteed to lose with a 3, but I didn't expect that he drew a 2."
"Wonderful and wonderful. If I had known I would have joined."
"Yeah, just pick one, isn't it bigger than these two?"
The audience was shocked and started talking. A bet that was thought to be a loser turned around at the last moment.
The second smallest 3 won the smallest 2. Only four cards among the fifty-two cards could lose, and Drizzt happened to draw one of these four cards.
Outrageous!
Drizzt also felt that it was quite outrageous. He had never encountered anything like this before. He actually lost so completely in a competition of luck.
His eyes were a little red, like a obsessed gambler, staring at Lu Qi: "One more game, let's have another game."
Lu Qi calmly took away the money on the table and said with a smile: "It seems that you have nothing to suppress. Even I didn't expect to win this game. It seems that I am lucky?
What's the saying? Lady Luck is smiling. "
As soon as the words fell, Drizzt suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning, and was once again stunned on the spot.
Lady luck is smiling?
My words!
Everything he said was my word!
Drizzt was shouting in his heart, and he watched Lu Qi take the money and leave gracefully. I dug through my pockets, but couldn't even take out a copper coin.
Penniless, he was once again penniless.
What he couldn't accept the most was that he became penniless at the gambling table.
"I will come again. If you have money, we might as well gamble again. But at least prepare a gambling amount that I can afford."
Before leaving, Lucci left these words to Drizzt.
This is like giving a gambler the last glimmer of hope.
Drizzt came back to his senses, looked at Lu Qi's leaving figure, and silently remembered this figure in his mind.
At the gambling table, he had never lost before, but he encountered the biggest blow in history.
He still couldn't understand, how could he lose?
With his luck, this shouldn't be the case.
If it were a matter of luck in choosing poker cards, Lucci might indeed not be able to beat Drizzt.
But, still the same sentence.
From the beginning, he was not fighting alone.
He never intended to try his luck.
After all, there is a god above him, wouldn’t it be a waste if he doesn’t use it?
As long as Drizzt's mental power is consumed and he can no longer use his clairvoyance ability on playing cards, it will be Janna's time to change the cards.
A certain elf goddess is particularly easy to bribe.
Just three different desserts.
