The silver moon was in the sky and it was midnight.

The bands playing on the patio stage left one after another, and the lights on the third and fourth floors went out one by one, leaving only the faint candle light on each table and the patio stage still bright as day under the crystal chandelier.

Darkness makes the whole banquet hall quiet, and also makes everyone focus on the stage in the middle of the patio.

In the center of the light is a round table and two chairs.

"Friends, and the most distinguished guests!"

I don't know when the smiling president Clement has stood in the center of the stage, opened his arms and humbly lowered his head: "welcome to take time out of your busy schedule and come to our store. My Clement only expresses my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of the gem chamber of Commerce, your colleagues and distinguished adults."

"And at the monthly grand meeting tonight, we are very honored to invite two distinguished guests from thousands of miles away - the Principality of Byrne, the heir of the Yod chamber of Commerce, young master Yod Jr.; and... The wizard adviser of his royal highness Brandon de sallion, his Excellency Viscount Loren Turin!"

"Before the official start, we always had to talk about a few jokes and imperial traditions; but today... I know what everyone is looking forward to, so I won't be wordy at all. I solemnly announce here..."

"Big bet, start! Start -!"

The loud voice resounded through the silent banquet hall, and the faint echo lasted for a long time; Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at it.

On the originally empty stage, the two had sat opposite in front of the gambling table.

Curious, surprised, friendly, malicious... All kinds of eyes kept converging on him. The expressionless black haired wizard crossed his hands and quietly listened to the whispers under the stage.

"Is this the wizard consultant who came back from duanjieshan fortress?"

"It is said that he is a loctite. Why does his name look like a southerner..."

"Turin... Shouldn't it be a branch of the Turin family..."

"That's true. There will be a good play tonight. It's said that he just won a full 200000 silver coins for little chan..."

"Only 200000? But it's interesting to beat that guy on the chessboard..."

Among the many curious eyes, a pair of crystal clear, gem like eyes showed a bit of surprise. They stared at the guy sitting opposite little Yod and couldn't believe their eyes.

This guy... Didn't he swear to make the Wizards loyal to Brandon? How could he have spare time to come to such a place?

While the owner of these eyes was stunned, he found another girl looking at the black haired wizard like himself, with red hair and red pupils

Well... Who will look at me again?

The expression numb "black frame glasses" was stunned, but when she looked back, she didn't find any eyes. She shrugged and continued to look at Loren Turin on the stage.

The dark haired wizard who didn't notice that he was found by someone was staring at little Yod who was also staring at him; The other party seems to have long been used to this feeling of stars supporting the moon.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered." little Joad suddenly opened his mouth with a strange smile, and his expression was somewhat mysterious: "Lord Loren Turin, do you know the countess Charlotte Turin?"

The other party's sudden question made the black haired wizard vigilant: "it's only one-sided. It's not known. What's the matter?"

"Nothing, but the countess also came tonight. I invited her." under the stage light, little yode's smile grew louder and louder, with some faint pride:

"Unfortunately, the countess doesn't seem to be interested in the party. She left when I met you - otherwise it's a little embarrassing. Do you think she will cheer for me or applaud you?"

"Yes, who knows."

The dark haired wizard's painless and itchy answer made little yode a little frustrated - he had expected to stimulate the trick a little, but it seemed that he underestimated him.

But it doesn't matter! Anyway, he will never get out of the room tonight... Thinking so, little Yod's smile was more ferocious, and his cheeks twitched slightly.

What about the Royal entourage and the wizard adviser of his royal highness? I want you to kneel here today! Pray for me, flatter me, cry and scream, and let me spare you!!!!

While they were "chatting", the smiling president Clement had prepared the chips and gambling games of both sides. On the small gambling table, there were a whole million silver chips of both sides, like a hill of gold coins, accounting for almost two-thirds of the area of the table.

At the same time, there was a gaping sound under the dark stage... Although any distinguished guest who can come to this place is worth more than ten times these chips, it is almost impossible for them to take out a million silver coins directly.

No matter the merchants of the chamber of Commerce or the rich and noble, their property is all territory, manors and castles, or chambers of Commerce and caravans of all sizes, as well as goods stored... There are absolutely few people who can take out millions of silver coins in cash at a time.

"Now that you two are ready, the big gamble officially begins - according to the previous agreement between the two sides, it is divided into two games: dice and card games. There is no time limit until someone admits defeat or loses all the chips. Do you have any objection?"

After clemon stepped down, an old Dutch official with gray hair and dark blue dress came to the stage and looked at the two people without expression.

"No!" said the two men with opposite eyes at the same time.

"Then let me explain the rules of dice for you two." the old Dutch official said in a deep voice: "the dice in our shop are slightly different from those in other places, especially the big gamble, which is very difficult."

"In short, there are three dice in each round. Both sides need to guess the final points and then bet chips. Any number from three to eighteen can be re selected within ten seconds before the pot is opened; in short, it is slightly similar to roulette."

"The difference lies in the chips bet by both parties - if one party bet one million and bet 200000 on five figures respectively, the other party also needs to bet 200000 on at least one figure before the gambling game is established."

"In addition, each game only depends on the number in the bet, and the rest does not count; each bet shall not exceed five numbers."

"According to the agreement of both parties, the minimum limit of each game is 500000 - if one party abstains, it shall pay at least 500000 silver chips and chips to the winner."

Speaking of this, the old Dutch official also had a cold sweat on his forehead... Although this was not the first time he presided over the "big gamble", it was the first time in his life that he saw the scene of a round of betting up to 500000!

Wiping his forehead, the old Dutch official, who recovered his calm, said again with a calm voice: "finally, the most important thing is the tradition of Golovin's big gamble."

"Tradition?"

"Yes, that's what challengers of all ages would do." the old Dutch official's expression suddenly became very serious:

"In the light of the Holy Cross;"

"Under the spotlight;"

"In this contest between wealth and destiny, please two distinguished guests who bet on honor, faith and dignity to light the golden cup of tonight's' big bet '-!"

The loud voice echoed in the banquet hall for a long time. In the middle of the dome crystal chandelier, a gold cup full of complex patterns, like the size of a brazier, fell slowly, hovered in the air and was facing the gambling table below.

The solemn old Dutch official held a torch in his right hand, and all the guests waited quietly.

"Cough, cough, cough... I've ordered it once." little Joad laughed, "why don't you let Viscount Loren come this time?"

Looking at his smiling face and the torch handed over by the old Dutch officer next to him, Loren's mouth made a cold arc.

Although I don't know the reason, it is definitely the intention of "some people" to deliberately hover in midair. If you want to burn from this position, you have to stand on the gambling table.

If you are not careful, you will lose all your face... It's really a good calculation.

But

"Don't bother so much." Lauren smiled softly, raised his left hand and gently snapped his fingers.

"Bang --!!"

The moment the fire burst, the smile was still frozen on little Yod's face, but the gold cup on his head was burning.

In the banquet hall, there was a sound of exclamation, and even the "black frame glasses" under the stage widened their eyes in surprise.

Lauren, who had a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, still sat in the chair and spread out his arms calmly:

"Let's... Start?"
