Vol 4 Chapter 35: Chess Conversation (Part 1)

Under the leadership of the waiter, a group of people came to the box on the second floor-as Lena de Salion said, the real regulars in this casino are in the rooms upstairs, facing their guests or opponents. Bet.
The room is not too big, but it is not small. There are all kinds of gambling equipment in the spacious and luxurious hall; it is obvious that the regular visitor Count Charn first entered the room, very warmly entertaining two people:
"Sir Loren Turin should come to play for the first time, I don't know if there are any of these and your taste? If not, please just say a rule, I can accompany you."
"It doesn't matter, let's pick one, after all, this is the first time."
The unsuspecting black wizard just shrugged his shoulders-he had learned about the card game here with "black frame glasses" before he came, and simply learned a little.
It is a pity that at present, the card game circulated in the Sakran Empire or these nobles is still very simple, basically still staying at the level of suits and numbers, not to mention stud, even like "fight the landlord three belts one" This gameplay has not yet appeared.
Well, one day we must find a way to promote the "Kunte" brand in the empire, which is suitable for all ages.
Whenever there is a big event but no decision, come first with a Quinte card, this picture is really ... cough cough cough!
After the waiter left, the three of them were seated; the always-silent "black frame glasses" finally asked:
"When did you show up that problem with that roulette?"
The black wizard and the Earl Zane looked at each other, and they laughed at the same time.
"Since Miss Lena is asking Lord Loren, not me." The young count shook his head mockingly: "Then please tell her personally."
"Well, it's no big deal anyway." Loren chuckled and turned to look at the expressionless girl:
"Did I tell you from the beginning, my luck is good."
"What do you mean, do you want the Holy Cross to bless you?"
"Almost, but slightly different." The black wizard slightly raised his mouth. "How should I explain it ... from the moment that President Clermont gave us chips, it was a scam ..."
Gambling is a game of competition based on luck, whether it is the technical content of cards or the guessing of roulette, it is inseparable from the element of luck-maybe a card can be turned over, maybe a small deviation , You can let ten times wealth and self missed.
So there is only one way to be invincible at the table, and that is to cheat.
For gamblers, fraud is to be able to get rich overnight; for casinos, it has a more terrible and longer-term purpose.
Especially this kind of gold selling cave that controls millions of wealth, the emperor's premier ... their purpose is definitely not just a debtor who has to return to this place again and again to deliberately turn over the money.
"If you guessed right, that Clermont president should also be an important member here, at least it should be one of the upper powers."
The black wizard guessed casually: "The chips of 30,000 silver coins should not only be a" meeting gift "for me."
"There are almost fifteen people in power in this casino, and the Clermont President you meet is just the least of them."
"If Lord Loren just did not choose to leave, but continue to win ... he now has 50,000 chips in hand, he will start to lose little by little."
The young Earl of Zahn smiled slightly, and brought a chessboard from the side and placed it in front of the two: "Lord Lord, are you interested in a game?"
"Of course." Loren said flatly: "What bet?"
"Miss Lena owes me money here, and the chips I brought today, totaling 200,000 silver coins." Earl slightly yawned: "If you lose, please do me a favor."
"Two hundred thousand for one condition, you are quite generous."
"Two hundred thousand can make the promise of His Highness Brandon's cronies promise, it's very cost-effective."
Compared with card games, the board game of the Sacran Empire is significantly more advanced, and the rules and pieces are very similar to the modern chess of his previous life.
Of course, Loren was the best in his last life, actually flying chess ...
"Sir Loren, do you know why there is such a place in the Holy Cross Holy Land?" The young Count Zane lowered his voice and asked casually like a gossip.
Baizi guards, move forward four;
"Yuqian Parliament? Imperial nobility? Chambers of commerce and trade union groups? Or ... who are we wizards?" The whispering black wizard speculated wildly, with no expression of nervousness on his face.
Black Knight, move forward six;
The Earl smiled slightly: "It should be said that ... everything is there; similar clubs, salons, clubs are everywhere in the capital city and even the surrounding suburbs; there are even many people who say that the casinos in Golovin are already older than the church too much!"
Bishop Bai Zi, move forward three;
"Why is this ... it should be more than just the nobles for fun, the rich want to take advantage of it?"
"It is far more terrifying than that, Lord Loren, and even your imagination." The helpless Earl of Zhan shook his head and blocked the black wizard's knight with the bishop:
"On the bright side, the nobles hold almost all the official positions and seats in the House. The so-called 'chambers' and 'unions' and those little nobles can only act as small officials at the bottom, or have the right to be heard in the House. . "
"But in fact ... the seemingly lowly businessmen are the people who control wealth and tax power. Chambers of commerce and trade unions are like giants. It is still unsatisfactory to divide all of our wealth, so we use these big and small. Sharons and clubs have turned their wealth into real power. "
"Either use debt to contain, or use heavy money to buy ... These unions and chambers of commerce have gradually extended their tentacles to the empire's power center, and with a terrible amount of real gold and silver, they have formulated many policies and regulations that are more beneficial to them.
By the way ... Although I do n’t know, my grandfather did mention that the empire will be where it is today, and some of you wizards are helping.
Therefore, even if there is the vigorous objection of the Holy Cross Church, the nobles in the noble house who are distinguished in the family are no longer daring, nor will they disobey the gold masters behind them.
Of course, the Zahn family is also the same ... Just like this casino, about one-tenth of it is our family ’s property; without enough wealth, Grandpa Siscott ca n’t buy the nobles of the old factions and let him Take the position of the former former Chancellor of the Exchequer! "
During the conversation, there were already fangs on the chessboard, and most of the pieces on each side had been damaged.
Perhaps it is because the mood is not very good. The black wizard who has always been keen on playing steadily has chosen the most dangerous one at this moment, biting the piece in front of the king chess at any cost, so that his black king has also been exposed. Under Bai Zi's Bingfeng.
"So, you are not here to help me, but to warn me on behalf of those people, right?" Loren, who held the chess in his right hand and looked down at the chessboard, said indifferently.
"If possible, I would rather you consult with me in advance ... but it is too late."
Earl Zane took a deep look at Lina de Salion next to her and shook her head with a sigh: "There are many ways to help Miss Lina get rid of debt. I can also help, but you have chosen the most dangerous one. Method."
"It's also the least controlled method. Whether it's for me, for Miss Lena, or ... Your Highness Brandon."
"Then you should at least understand a little bit, and then make a decision-not to put yourself in such a dangerous situation as now!"
The young earl seemed anxious and very anxiously said: "Now you suddenly come here ~ EbookFREE.me ~ For those people, it is a godsend opportunity to hold you in the palm of your hand-everyone You know, you are the only confidant next to His Highness Brandon. Controlling you is almost equivalent to controlling Your Highness! "
"These merchants, the rich ... are not wizards without power, or aristocrats who know how to hold back and respect each other, they want nothing more than an alliance-what they want to do is to put the entire Saqran empire In their purse. "
"This is what Siscott's grandfather taught me personally a few days before his death!"
"It's really ... creepy."
The expressionless black wizard raised the knight in his hand and smashed the white chess king.
General—! ...
