Chapter 410: The Same Kind of People
Duyd? Wielambart, a magician of the Learned Union, a senior bureaucrat at the Federal Ministry of Transport Management, Federal Home Secretary and Deputy Chairman of the Governing Council, Turner? The eldest son of Wilanbart, the famous federal Offa family and political lord, and the young master of the Violet family. Well, it is said that there is also a federation of ten birds...... Ah no, the name of one of the "Ten Princes of the Federation".
Of course, Lu Xi naturally can't remember the above names, so he knows that it's a seaweed head.
Although Lu Xi didn't know why the seaweed head appeared in Lenggang, it was impossible for such a weak kid to come and do anything serious, and his old fox's seaweed father would probably not send his waste son to do anything serious as long as his brain was not stepped on by the dragon.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than some publicly-funded travel, publicly-funded eating, drinking, reimbursement, eating and having fun, and entering prostitution papers in the account under the banner of going abroad, which has nothing to do with me at all.
"I'm here to inspect a joint venture between the federal government and the Frozen Hollow Autonomous Region government for a port expansion project, don't think I'm here to play!" "Unlike idle fellows like you, I'm a responsible and self-motivated Arcane nobleman and federal official," said Seaweed Head. â
I haven't said anything yet. Lu Xi couldn't help grinning, and looked diagonally opposite his left hand, the boy who was called "Dunte", compared to the seaweed head that directly wrote superficial stupidity on his face, this person looked much more human-like than a dog.
"I'm Lu Xi? Berencaster, a federal magician, gave a lot of advice when they first met. "Lu Xi used it decently. But it must also be far from an attitude that is far from intimacy.
"Oh, that's disrespectful. Turns out to be the youngest Lich Retreat in the history of the Federation. Lu Xi? O Lord Belencaster! The young man looked surprised, which must have been within the bounds of common sense. He quietly glanced at Duyd beside him with imperceptible movements, and then showed a smile that was both friendly and graceful: "My name is Dunboley?" Dandy Leon. A three-star magician of the Alliance of Learning, a member of the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Hehe, of course, whether it is in politics or in the field of arcane law, I have no merit, just an ordinary nobody. Of course, when it comes to my father Daeron? Dandy Leon, probably a lot more people will hear it. â
How could it be that you haven't heard of it? The dignified Federal Secretary of Commerce is one of the most important heads of state in the ruling council after Master Russell and Nori Daddy Turner. Of course. To put it bluntly, he is one of the most important political leaders of the federal gate valve faction, at least to the status of the second leader.
Speaking of which, when the stupid son of the big boss and the son of the second boss who don't look so stupid get together, what are they going to brew to bully the common people, embezzle public funds, and dig into the corners of the country? Lu Xi squinted his eyes at the cloudy seaweed head, and then looked at Deng Bolai, who was full of graceful smiles...... Well, seeing that he smiled so brightly, let's nickname "Squinting Eyes".
Tsk, it's obviously cute, why do you have to be on a man with a weird yin and yang?
Lu Xi squinted at the smiling eyes, and couldn't help but change into a business smile. In a slow tone, he said, "Speaking of which, you must be very much admirer of your father, right?" â
Squinting eyes were silent for a few seconds, and then a clear smile appeared: "Although the Dandelion family is not as good as these high-ranking lords in Auckland who have been inherited for thousands of years, it can be regarded as a thin inheritance. As a member of the family. It is also natural to respect the elders of the family. â
Hey? Why don't you get recruited or accepted? It's kind of interesting......
"Well, Belen...... Oh, we're all mages and colleagues in the Alliance. Or don't be too formal. Just call you Mr. Lu Xi, I hope you won't mind. â
"Feel free. Meeting is fate. Of course. Whether it's a bad fate or something else, we can only judge it with time. Lu Xi continued to smile with a business face. Pointing to Rosalie and her entourage, "These people are all my friends, seeing that you guys are having so much fun, I am ready to intervene uninvited, I hope you won't mind." â
"Oh, what an interesting coincidence of fate!" Squint nodded, "So, let's have a foursome, shall we?" Let Duyd be added as well, so that you can form a team battle. Winning or losing, which requires everyone's cooperation, is always more interesting than individual heroism alone. What do you think? Miss Bourred. â
"I'm sure I'm not going to have a problem. But I don't have much money, it depends on whether Mr. Lu Xi is willing to bear the chips of two people. When Lu Xi appeared, Miss Lori seemed to be relaxed, the violent Lori who slapped the table and scolded her mother just now didn't seem to have saved zĂ i at all, and she had been copying her hands from beginning to end and watching the two of them sing and play in harmony with the mentality of watching the show: "In addition, my luck today seems to be very bad, maybe it will only delay my feet." â
"If you want to play, then let's see if you can come up with chips for two!" The nori head was sneering as he clipped his hands.
"There's certainly not that much cash out of pocket. But ......" Lu Xi put his hand under the table and secretly took out a platinum sculpture about the size of a candle from the bracer in his sleeve.
Because of the cover of the table and the wide sleeves of the robe, he was not worried that others would be able to see the space sac of the Yunling Bracer, at most he thought that he had taken it out of his pocket.
"Let's make a bet between the two of us. Of course, you can verify the authenticity, and I think such a large casino should have a similar service inside. â
The eyes of "squinting" seemed to be even more powerful at this time, and he didn't know where to find a pair of white gloves to put on, wanting to take the platinum products that Lu Xi put on the table, but then said to Lu Xi with a graceful smile: "Don't bother the casino, I still have some confidence in my own connoisseurship." Can you show me? â
Lu Xi stretched out his hand and made a "please" motion.
Squinting picked up the object, a precious metal ornament carved from white gold in the shape of roots and vines coiled, and many small green broken gems made of leaves, which looked very delicate and beautiful.
"An artifact of the Third Dynasty of the Ancient Elves...... It is indeed genuine. Mr. Lu Xi. Such antiques, put in Elichar. At least it can fetch a high price of 1,500 gold mila. â
"Then, let's pay fifteen hundred golden mila." Lu Xi smiled: "It's just that I'm in a hurry." Is it good to decide the winner on a big picture? â
Dunbolay pondered for a few seconds, his eyes slowly opened, and suddenly a terrifying force came out. Although he still maintained an elegant and chic smile at the corner of his mouth, his whole temperament seemed to have changed, as if he had changed from the noble son of the previous elegant and elegant Sven to a decisive commander: "Since you have such an interest, let's start." â
He didn't even ask Duyd's opinion, it seems that although the elders of these two families are headed by Daddy Norweed, they have completely turned around when they put it on the juniors.
Except for the bet with the Faceless One "Bals" in the City of Radiance. Lu Xi also played star cards several times after that, but they were all used for leisure time and adventure with his companions and friends, and the gambling money was basically small-denomination copper, and it was a big gamble when he saw white. Of course, under the general light of the star level 10 and the high IQ of more than 150, Lu Xi's current battle situation is of course a complete victory without any suspense.
Even so, Lu Xi must admit that the squinting eye in front of him is the strongest enemy he has encountered so far (at the poker table), and if there will be a world-wide star professional tournament in this world. This guy should be at least one of the strong candidates for the title.
Lu Xi and Rosalie have gambled against each other a few times, and they know that this legal Lori, who has lived for N years and is not taboo in meat and vegetables, is actually very good, but technically it still can't catch up with Squinting. And today is indeed the possession of the god of decay, and he has taken bad cards every time, no wonder he will be slaughtered so much.
As for the nori head. Some of the basic card principles and techniques are very clear, it seems that they are often played, but when it comes to some bluffs and cheats plus advanced methods such as off-board moves. It's as shallow as his personality that can be seen through at a glance, and he can be regarded as the most talented one on this table. Still. I can't stand his luck, and he has already obtained the gods several times.
A big picture is made up of nine small rounds. After a tug-of-war that made the people around him thrilling and regarded as a classic game in the eyes of senior star players, it became a very popular 4-4 situation.
The dealer who manages the table begins the final shuffling of the hand. He was already sweating profusely at this time, and his hands were even trembling a little, which was obviously suppressed by the aura of the two "top masters" on the table, but he was also happy in his heart, because with the gold coins piled up on this table, even a tip could allow him to live a luxurious life for many months.
In this interval, Squint picked up the glass of rum in front of him, made a gesture to Lu Xi to raise his glass, chewed it gently, and then said in a slow and indifferent tone: "Look at us, sitting in this crowded casino, surrounded by all kinds of people, they may just be ordinary fishermen or hawkers, who come here with the little pocket money they occasionally save, cheering or grieving for the win or loss of one or two silver horns. And we, sitting among them, are playing a game of cards that will allow them and their families to live a century of well-off life. Life is always unfair, you say? Mr. Lu Xi. â
"Alah! How did we start talking about philosophy? Lu Xi blinked his eyes, and there were a few more jokes in his tone. He watched the dealer slide the cards in front of him with a refined movement, and said, "Or do you want to discuss with me sociological issues such as the oppressor and the oppressed, the ruler and the ruled, plus the class contradictions caused by the gap between the rich and the poor and the unfair distribution?" â
"Sitting upright in sociology and philosophy is too heavy for the present joyous situation. Of course, the kind of issue you are talking about, those of us at the top of the table are not in a position to discuss. As I sit here, a sip of Glenrichia's wine means at least tens of thousands of growers, laborers, winemakers, and vendors working for a second of bliss, and the real laborers can only afford to drink rum at best. yes, that's what I'm drinking right now. But that's the reality! Because these rum drinkers always think that they will be the ones who can afford to drink Glen Lixia. Deng Bolai glanced at Lu Xi deeply: "This is what we must cherish." Mr. Lu Xi, in fact, you should know that we should be the same kind of people and stand on the same position. â
Maybe none of the people present understood the other party's consciousness, anyway, Lu Xi saw the blank look on his own young boys and girls and the other party's seaweed heads. As for Miss Lori, she doesn't seem to be listening at all, and she's going crazy with the cards she was assigned, and it looks like it's even worse than the previous ones. It seems that she can't be counted on in this game.
Lu Xi shrugged noncommittally: "Only the final tiebreaker is left, can it start?" â
Compared with the fierce competition of the previous rounds, the situation in the last game is very clear. Miss Lori, who took a bad hand, soon had to quit, and the arrogant seaweed head finally ran out of luck this time, and was swept out of the house by Lu Xi after three times five divided by two.
Dumboley smiled and flipped over his last set of cards, eliciting a deep breath. It was one celestial, two sub-gods, and four angels. Together, these seven cards can form the almost highest combination in the star card game - Tiangong. The odds of this combination are extremely small, the timing of the draw is extremely demanding, and luck is also very important.
The seaweed head began to be triumphant, and began to speculate about what kind of language and expression he should use to ridicule him after Lu Xi obediently admitted defeat. Of course, in other words, what kind of lofty attitude should I show in order to bring up my compulsion and make Lu Xi's compulsion low.
Lu Xi sighed slightly: "I forgot to tell you, I prefer to swallow fifteen cheese rings a second compared to red wine and rum." He turned over the remaining twelve cards in his hand, but they were the smallest of all the cards, "Element" and "Dust", but when they were all collected, they could form a combination that was only greater than the "Heavenly Palace" - "World".
Amid the more incredulous exclamations of the onlookers, when the seaweed head was pale and completely bloodless, Deng Bolai smiled even more happily. He took out a check from the Bank of St. Mullins from his white coat, signed a number that would have been beyond the reach of most working-class people for the rest of their lives, and handed it to Lu Xi.
"Thank you! I had a lot of fun. So, leave it at that. He said goodbye to everyone with a perfect and not mechanical demeanor, and when he walked away, his nose still erect, as if he were a king. Of course, the nori head is probably just a henchman or a clown next to the king at best.
