Chapter 190: Jackdaw

"Teacher Benny, counting cards doesn't violate the rules of the game. Why do you win money with your own skills? Why are you hostile by gamblers and casinos?" Joanne asked, both puzzled and unwilling.
"It doesn't matter if our friends like to play together casually. Of course there are gentlemen among professional gamblers, but most of them are bad people who can't afford to lose. The most rare thing is that others are smarter than themselves."
"Gamblers can tolerate their opponents to win their money with good luck, because they believe that they also have the opportunity to run, but they can not tolerate you to win their money with your mind."
"This not only forced them to admit their stupidity, but also realized that those who were destined to be eaten by you at the poker table would always be a loser and simply not qualified to earn a living by gambling, which is equivalent to destroying their remaining hope and Self-esteem, it is strange not to be annoyed."
"As for the casino, it is even worse."
Teacher Benny lit the pipe and took a deep breath, slowly spitting out a string of blue smoke rings.
"Opening a casino is actually a scam, it is to the blood of the gambler, how can in turn let you a little gambler take advantage?"
"Most casino operators have a gangster background. From the perspective of those "vampires", "counting cards" and "playing a thousand" are the same thing. Of course, if you lose money at the table, you must get it back under the table. You just speak with your fist."
"No way, gambling is such a dirty business in the end, and it's no wonder that decent people look down on rotten gambling ghosts." Xiao Miao sighed with her tail shaking.
Teacher Benny and Xiao Miao are from the bottom of the society. Xiao Miao also has the experience of being a gangster. She has a deep understanding of the gambling industry in Port Leiden.
Hearing their ugly shady exposure, Joanne shuddered and had to dispel the idea of ​​making money from gambling.
"Okay, don't talk about these disappointing things again." A Che raised his glass and said with a smile: "Joan, you are from Delin Town, what are the local legends or interesting stories in the local area, tell us , How about it as a "let's eat"?"
Joan touched the next glass with the White Ratman and sipped the ale while thinking about any stories to drink.
If it is in peacetime, he will most likely refuse Achi’s request. First, he can’t think of any new and interesting stories. Second, with his quiet, introverted and shy personality, he can’t help but squash in the light of the book. Baba, you can't tell the story even if your belly is full.
However, today is somewhat unusual, perhaps due to the influence of alcohol. Joan feels inexplicably relaxed in a slightly drunk state. Instead of feeling nervous, he has an unprecedented urge to talk.
After thinking for a while, he told the many thrilling and bizarre events he had experienced in the past six months to teachers Xiao Miao, A Chi and Benny.
Qiao An didn’t lose his alertness when he was little, and things he shouldn’t talk about, such as
God’s Tears
and
Wisdom of Wisdom
, as well as his own
strange pedigree
and
mythical power
, were avoided. Recounting your experience of meeting the gray bagger Grey in the lizard swamp, and then fighting the fatal battle of the lizard man shaman with Grey, and the future troubles buried by this.
Next, Joan recounted his travel experience in the Algonquin Valley, the battle of the jungle that he experienced first-hand, and described the "black wilt" and the half-human half-plant in the jungle with simple and precise language. The withered monsters are rampant, the killing scenes of the Ogre Corps attacking the village of Povatan, and the heroic struggle of the Asa people to resist the invasion of the ogre with the assistance of the "tree man".
After talking about the conflict in the Algonquin Valley, Qiao An recovered from his memories, only to find that Xiao Miao listened intently with both hands on her cheeks, and Ah Chi also looked fascinated, and her small eyes were full of longing.
Teacher Benny held the pipe in his left hand and the quill pen in his right. While listening to him, he took a shorthand on the manuscript paper while raising the pen. Sometimes he was busy smoking a cigarette and seemed very engaged.
"It's a good talk, Joan, continue to talk, what happened later?" Xiao Miao urged with a wagging tail.
Joan found that all three friends looked at themselves with anticipation, and then went on to talk about the thrilling war that he experienced after returning from his hometown in Delin to his hometown.
He recalled the past from the perspective of a person who came here. Many inexplicable changes at that time are now clearly seen. Let me start with a chronological order from the coup of the Lizardmen tribe in the big swamp, and comprehensively analyze the source of the conflict between the two sides of the conflict.
Then, following the escape of the wrecked Lizardman Prince Weiss as a clue, he described his experience while taking refuge in Delin Township, and then logically led the Lizardman army to surround Delin Township to hunt down Wisse, and then the Goblin family was also involved in the war, Delin In danger, we and a group of partners have to shoulder the mission of rushing out of the siege and going to the Knights’ camp to ask for help from Major George Vasa...
Joan spoke for two full hours, and finally said that the town of Derin was saved from destruction by the timely assistance of the Vasa Knights and Asa Hunting, and successfully defeated the Lizardmen and Goblin Allied Forces, killing the culprit "Son of Devil" "Kotar, ended this brutal war and ushered in the dawn of peace again.
Recalling the heavy price paid by the people in his hometown for this victory, especially Captain Daniel's majestic sacrifice, Joan couldn't help souring his nose and couldn't talk anymore.
"I haven't heard such a wonderful story in a long time. What is even more rare is that these thrilling stories are completely true. They are all personal experiences of Joan, so they sound particularly exciting."
Holding a wine glass, Xiao Miao shook her head intoxicatedly, and made her assessment from a professional perspective.
"I heard people talk about the attack of the Lizardmen in Delin Town before. I also wanted to go to the field to interview. Now I heard Joan's personal memories. This car fee can be saved." .
Teacher Benny put aside her pen and solemnly asked Joan: "Do you mind if I use the material you provide to write a series of serial reports?"
"Of course I don't mind," Joan thought about it, and added carefully, "But, please don't put my real name on the newspaper."
"It's no problem. According to our rules, I should put your name in the "Co-author" column, so you better give yourself a pen name."
"Pen name..." Qiao An looked away from the window and accidentally saw a big gray bird, and said to Teacher Benny: "Just sign "Jackdaw"."
Joan felt that it was unlikely that someone would associate his real identity with this bizarre pen name.
Teacher Benny nodded, and jotted down the pen name provided by Joanne on the manuscript paper, and said with a smile: "When the manuscript fee is issued, I will divide you half."
"I'm just providing material, you are the real contributor, so you don't have to pay for the manuscript." Joan reluctantly quit.
"You can't say that! Friends are friends, business is business, your money is yours, or how to cooperate in the future." Teacher Benny said seriously.
