Chapter 499

For the citizens of the imperial capital, after the carnival of Qingfeng Festival, the excitement did not end. The "martial arts contest" held by the Knights association has already become the focus of public opinion in the streets.

The streets near the headquarters of the Knights' Association have been overcrowded for the past two days, so the police department of the imperial capital has had to increase its manpower several times to maintain order there.

Looking at all kinds of warriors, holding weapons in the long street in front of the Knights' Association, there is a long line, from morning till night.

And for Deron, he's dead tired. Although duvet later asked Zach to send him a lot of people and opened a lot of registration points in front of the gate of the knight's Association... But the excitement lasted for two days!

In just the first two days, the number of applicants exceeded 1000!

According to the feedback, in addition to many low-level warriors who are not proud of the imperial capital, there are also many guardians of aristocratic families. Everyone hopes to be outstanding! If you can stand out at the martial arts contest, it's better than being a bodyguard for those rich people all their lives!

On the second day of registration, that is, the day after the Qingfeng Festival, a big news quickly spread in the imperial capital!

The "Holy Knights" is a powerful armed group that defends the church and enjoys a good reputation in the mainland. Actually also participated in the competition!

The current two knights of the order, two eighth level knights, Steger and Randall, plus four seventh level knights, as well as a dozen sixth level knights, all signed up to participate in the competition!

In the streets of the imperial capital, people talked about this interesting news after tea. Many people also talked about it one after another: when the powerful Holy Knights fought with the proud guards of the nobles. Who will win and who will lose?

All people, how many always have some curiosity psychology, especially such a big lively, or a major competition! Naturally, many people like to guess and discuss the future.

The Holy Knights sent a group of strong players to participate in the competition, and undoubtedly poured a bucket of oil into the fire! So whether it's teahouses, hotels, car shops and horse shops in the imperial capital, people will always talk about "that martial arts contest", "holy knight" and so on

It was the next day.

And on the third day, a bigger and heavier news caused a bigger and stronger response in the imperial capital!

The most popular first minister of the imperial capital, the youngest talented Grand Duke of the Empire. The most famous tulip Duke, the youngest general of the Empire, Lord duverrudolph, who was only 18 years old, supported 100000 soldiers, occupied a provincial leader, rejected the grassland in the West and defeated warlords in the East. I signed up for the competition!!

Dewey is one of the most popular celebrities in the Empire in recent years! You may not know the name of the Regent, you may not know who the head of the holy order is, or even you may not know the age of Pope Paul XVI... But as a man of the Roland Empire, if you don't know Dewey. Then you will be treated as an idiot!

Even because Du Wei was young and promising, he became famous as a young man. He was also a top aristocrat, young and handsome. He had become a famous idol in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital for a long time. I don't know how many noble girls dream of marrying the most popular young idol in the Empire. I don't know how many noble youths regard Dewey as their lifelong goal.

At this time, such a brilliant person. Actually announced to participate in the contest!?

After everyone was shocked, this public opinion storm immediately set off another climax!

Will the Duke of tulip be the winner?

Isn't the Duke of tulip just a magician?

I don't think you've heard that Duke tulip is good at martial arts, have you?

When questions were thrown out one by one, soon, some people who adored Dewey in their hearts spontaneously formed a tulip Pro guard group, and fought with those who doubted?

Everyone knows the power of the Duke of tulip! He is a famous strong man in mainland China!

what? Is he a magician? Hum, who stipulates that magicians can't learn martial arts! With the genius of Duke tulip, he can't learn anything!

Hum, he doesn't know martial arts? Don't forget. My Lord, he is not a simple civil servant! He's the youngest general in the Empire! As an imperial general. How can you not know martial arts?

Later, Dewey led his troops to destroy the grassland cavalry in giliat city. And the annihilation of the rebel northwest Legion in the northwest war has been turned over and praised again and again.

Of course, as the client, Dewey didn't expect to bring this effect, and in this wave of upsurge, Dewey's reputation was once again raised to a very high level!

In addition to the high-profile competition of the Duke of tulip, another news is that Mr. Zach, the commercial manager of tulip family in the imperial capital, once again invented a money making thing: gambling!

Gambling has existed since ancient times. And in several industries of DIDU controlled by little Zach, they began to announce that they would accept the bet for the victory of the contest!

This is a kind of naked gambling, although the imperial law does not prohibit gambling, but this kind of public gambling is still immoral.

But, it's the tulip family. Who dares to report Dewey? Of course, Dewey is not without political enemies, but even if he sued, there must be no result! Because this time gambling behavior, obviously has certain official color!

Behind the scenes, Dewey has promised to subsidize part of the revenue to the imperial finance, which is overwhelmed by military spending!

The Empire used to have some underground casinos controlled by rich families, but when it comes to gambling. Who can be proficient in Dewey? He came from a previous life. He was already very skilled in all kinds of gambling routines that he had seen in his previous life. The gambling made in Roland plain was just a little warm-up.

Obviously, the tulip family will make a fortune again!

There are many people who have money and leisure in the imperial capital! Hundreds of years of peaceful times have fattened a large number of aristocrats in the imperial capital. These aristocrats, who like to enjoy themselves after eating, have enough gold coins in their pockets to spend. So. There are a lot of people who are willing to take part in such a lively event.

Du Wei's "evil gambling group" is obviously characterized by collusion between government and business... Even the organizers are dragged down by him!

The imperial government led by Prince Chen became the umbrella of the gambling group. Even in the busiest days of gambling, the imperial public security department was ordered to send more people to maintain order in the vicinity of Duwei industry!

And the Knights' Association is also involved in it... Deron is seduced by this big plan. He is responsible for providing the information of all the applicants to the computing professionals under young Zach.

Those people have carefully sorted out all the applicants' age, identity, origin and education. Samurai level, and so on, after a variety of information, select some players who are considered to have hope, as the object of the bet, published.

And this is the result. Also caused a very delicate thing: before the world's first martial arts competition, many contestants had become famous by becoming the object of gambling!!

After the calculation of the professional staff of little Zach, the latest odds will be announced on the bulletin board at the gate of several industries for the first time every day to attract all kinds of gamblers to bet. But also according to some unexpected circumstances. Change the odds at any time.

For example, one day before a player was still popular, the next day it came that he fell while riding, and his odds immediately dropped.

And some unpopular, suddenly because of the night in the hotel and other contestants quarrel, fight, revealed the strength of the good, the next day immediately became popular!

What's more, duvey and Zach have come up with a variety of projects to bet on: it's not just about who's the champion! It's a bet on the top 50!

And it's not only about who wins and who loses, but also about life and death! The winner of the bet is a slight injury. Seriously injured, or how long can you last in the game... And so on, all kinds of strange ways of betting, it's amazing their imagination!

In addition to gambling, another new thing derived from gambling soon became a hot commodity in the imperial capital! This kind of thing is named "saijing" by Dewey!

And the "horse classics" of horse racing and the "ball classics" of gambling. The lottery industry's "lottery" is the same. This kind of "competition classic" is in Duwei's design, and the latest version is released every seven days! The above details all the information about the most popular Samurai in recent years. At the same time, list their advantages and disadvantages. In addition, some potential characters will be listed for your reference

This kind of thing soon swept the whole imperial capital! One thousand copies of the first issue of "saijing" were all sold out in less than a day after they were printed and put into use!

After getting the news, the knight Delong, who was responsible for printing the "competition Sutra" (because all the contestants' information was provided by the Knights Association), immediately made two decisions: to add 3000 copies! At the same time, increase the price of each volume by three times!

Later, at the instigation of Dewey, Delong invented a new thing, that is, the hardcover version of the "VIP competition classic" is more exquisitely printed, and even invited painters to draw portraits of some popular players on it! There are also some latest internal information... Of course, the price is more expensive. Such a pamphlet can be sold to a gold coin! Of course, the sales group of this kind of thing is not ordinary gamblers, but aristocrats and rich people who like to spend a lot of money.

In recent days, Deron's face almost burst into laughter. He kept running between the printing workshop and the Knights' Association, and devoted all his energy to printing "saijing".

In the first issue of the sales of saijing, he got hundreds of gold coins... Although the money is not much, it is a pie in the sky after all! Delong, who has been poor all the time, can hardly close his mouth.

After the second issue of saijing came into the market, the hardcover version of saijing was favored by the nobles in the imperial capital. After all, as nobles, they always like to pay attention to their own noble identity. Noble masters disdain to use the same things with those clay legs in the streets! Therefore, although the price of this hardcover edition of the booklet reaches a gold coin, which is equivalent to the cost of a few days for an ordinary family, the demand is still in short supply.

The second phase of the competition, let Delong share more than 1000 gold coins windfall! Du Wei can't help but be surprised to see that this kind of competition is so popular. Originally, he just moved his mind casually. In the age of "small mosquito legs are meat", he made an idea to let Delong make a little fortune. He didn't expect that this thing became so popular. Since the third competition, the sales volume has exceeded 10000 copies!! And I heard that they have been sold to the towns around the imperial capital! Even the expired ones are in great demand“ Er... Can I think about making some "newspapers" or something like that? " Dewey couldn't help itching. Don't think that Dewey makes less money by making this kind of game. This kind of thing is mainly a way to control public opinion! For example, now, as long as Dewey is willing, he can always use this game to hold a big favorite! And then people will go crazy and bet on this hot player... What happens? Hum, of course, the gambling group under Dewey is going to make a lot of money“ There are so many rich people in the imperial capital Looking at the latest to send up the liquidation of bets data, let Duwei also startled!
