Chapter 465

Led by the waiter, the party came to the box on the second floor - as Lina de sallion said, the real regular guests in the casino were in the upstairs room, gambling with their guests or opponents.

The room is not big, but it is not small. There are all kinds of gambling equipment in the spacious and luxurious hall; Count chann, who was obviously a regular guest, first entered the room and warmly entertained the two people:

"Your Excellency Loren Turin should be the first time to play. Do you have any of these? If not, please say any rules, and I can accompany you."

"It doesn't matter. You'd better choose one. After all, it's the first time."

The disapproving black haired wizard just shrugged - he had learned about the card games here with "black frame glasses" before coming, and simply learned a little.

It is a pity that at present, the card games spread among the saklan empire or these nobles are still very simple. They basically remain at the level of design, color and number size. Not to mention Soha, even the playing method of "fighting landlords, three belts and one" has not appeared.

Well, one day we must find a way to promote the "Quint" card game, which is suitable for all ages and loved by all in the Empire

If you don't make a decision in case of a big event, let's have a kunt card first. This picture is really... Cough!

After the waiter left, the three took their seats; "Black framed glasses", who remained silent all the time, finally asked:

"When did you find out that there was a problem with roulette?"

The black haired wizard and count chann looked at each other, and then smiled at the same time.

"Since Miss Lena asked Lord Lorraine, not me," the young count shook his head mockingly. "Please tell her yourself."

"Well, it's no big deal anyway." Lauren smiled and turned his head to the expressionless girl:

"Didn't I tell you from the beginning? I'm lucky."

"What do you mean, do you want to say that the Holy Cross bless you?"

"Almost, but a little different." the black haired wizard slightly raised his mouth: "how to explain... From the moment that President Clement gave us chips, it was a scam..."

Gambling is a game that relies on luck to compete. Whether it's a technical game like Solitaire or a guessing game like roulette, it's inseparable from luck - maybe a card can turn over, or a small deviation can miss ten times your wealth.

Therefore, there is only one way to remain invincible at the gambling table, that is to cheat.

For gamblers, cheating is to get rich overnight; For the casino, it has a more terrible and long-term purpose.

In particular, this gold selling cave, which controls millions of wealth and is second to none in the imperial capital... What they do is definitely not just a "repeat customer" who is heavily in debt and has to return here again and again in vain.

"If you're right, President Clement should also be an important member here. At least he should be one of the top power holders."

The black haired wizard guessed casually: "the chip of 30000 silver coins should not be just a 'meeting gift' for me."

"There are almost 15 people in charge of this casino. The president Clement you met is only the least worth mentioning among them."

"If Lord Loren had just not chosen to leave, but continued to win... He would start losing all his 50000 chips bit by bit."

The young count of chann smiled, took a chessboard from the side and put it in front of them: "Lord Lauren, are you interested in a game?"

"Of course," Lauren said blandly, "what's the bet?"

"Miss Lina's debt to me and the chips I brought today are 200000 silver coins." the count nodded slightly: "if you lose, please do me a favor."

"It's very generous of you to change 200000 on one condition."

"It's very cost-effective for 200000 to make a commitment from his highness Brandon's confidants."

Compared with card games, the board games of the saklan empire are obviously more advanced. Various rules and pieces are very similar to the modern chess of his previous life.

Of course, Loren was best at flying chess in his last life

"Lord Loren, do you know why it is the imperial capital of the Holy Cross, and there will be such a place?" the young count chann asked casually, lowering his voice like a chat.

White guard, advance four;

"Royal Parliament? Imperial aristocracy? Chambers of Commerce and trade unions? Or... We Wizards?" the smiling black haired wizard guessed wildly, without any tension on his face.

Sunspot knight, forward six;

The count smiled: "it should be said... All of them; similar clubs, salons and clubs are everywhere in the capital city and even in the surrounding suburbs; many people even said that there are more casinos in Golovin than churches!"

Bishop Baizi, move forward three;

"Why is this... It should not be just the nobles for fun, but the rich want to take the opportunity to make money?"

"It's much more terrible than that, Lord Loren, even beyond your imagination." the helpless count of chann shook his head and blocked the black haired wizard's Knight with the Bishop:

"On the face of it, the nobles hold almost all official positions and seats in the house. The so-called 'chamber of Commerce' and 'trade union' and those little nobles can only serve as small officials at the bottom or have the right to sit in the house."

"But in fact... Those seemingly humble businessmen are the ones who control wealth and tax power. Chambers of Commerce and trade unions are like giants. They are still dissatisfied with dividing all their wealth, so they turn to these large and small salons and clubs to turn their wealth into real power."

"These trade unions and chambers of Commerce have gradually extended their tentacles to the power center of the Empire and formulated many favorable policies and regulations with a terrible amount of real gold and silver.

By the way... Although I don't know, my grandfather did mention that the Empire would be in its present situation, and you wizards were also contributing to it.

Therefore, even with the strong opposition of the Holy Cross Church, those aristocrats with prominent families in the house of Lords dare not, let alone disobey the gold owners behind them.

Of course, the same is true of the chann family... Like this casino, almost one tenth of it is our family's property; without enough wealth, grandfather siscott can't buy off those old-fashioned aristocrats and let him sit as former chancellor of the exchequer! "

During the conversation, the chessboard was full of teeth and teeth, and most of the pieces of all parties had been damaged.

Perhaps it is because he is in a bad mood. The black haired wizard who has always been keen on playing steadily has chosen the most dangerous way to play, biting the pieces in front of Wang Qi at any cost, so that his black king has been exposed to the front of Bai Zi's army.

"So you didn't come to help me, but instead of those people to warn me, didn't you?" Lauren, who was holding chess in his right hand and looking down at the chessboard, said calmly.

"If I could, I'd rather you had discussed it with me in advance... But it's too late now."

Count chann took a deep look at Lina desallion next to him and shook his head with a sigh: "there are many ways to help Miss Lina get rid of her debt. I can also help, but you chose the most dangerous way."

"It's also the least controlled way. Whether it's for me, Miss Lina, or... Your highness Brandon."

"Then you should at least have a little understanding and then make a decision - instead of putting yourself in such a dangerous situation as you are now!"

The young count seemed a little worried and said anxiously, "now that you suddenly come here, it's a heaven given opportunity for those people to hold you in their palm - everyone knows that you are the only confidant beside his highness Brandon. Controlling you is almost equal to controlling his highness!"

"These businessmen, rich people... Are not wizards without power desire, nor aristocrats who know how to be reserved and respect each other. What they want is definitely not an alliance - what they want to do is to put the whole Saxophone empire in their money bag."

"This is what grandfather siscott personally taught me a few days before his death!"

"It's really... Creepy."

The expressionless black haired wizard raised his knight and smashed the white man's King chess.

General!
