Chapter 1182: Old Love
The dealer of the gambling game is naturally Rhodes.
Because Giggs is working on a new blasting device recently, a considerable part of Fuguang Island's tax revenue is filled in the experimental materials, and Rod, who got the news from Cana, simply uses the information advantage to enrich the entertainment life of the people in Zuan.
Well, pumping by the way.
In order to avoid Camille's tentacles, Rhodes chose Lower Zuan as the base of his casino, and secretly launched a national gossip activity.
Although the two cities have been integrated, this does not mean that there is no gap between Zuan and Picheng - after the integration of the two cities, although the regional black against each other has changed from "politically correct" to "politically incorrect", but in private the titles of "Zuanyan" and "Pichengyan" are still repeatedly banned, although the two cities are one, but the competition between each other still exists.
Now, when an opportunity to orchestrate the Picheng bigwigs is presented to the masses of Zaun, few can refuse this subtle temptation.
As a result, Camille and Hakim became the center of attention for Zaun without knowing it.
So, what are these two doing at the center of the game?
The answer is in the tangle.
Yes, old love is a delicate thing, and although Camille is never married again, and Hakim is not emotional, they are also somewhat accustomed to their present life—the former is accustomed to walking between buildings and in the dust and fog with his motorized devices; The latter is accustomed to being a puppet and is alone.
So, when the two of them, who had each other in their hearts, met again, they both had a lot to say, but they couldn't say anything when the words came to their mouths.
Faced with this delicate situation, both Camille and Hakim chose to escape - the former focused on the impediment of rainforest development, and the latter simply studied the Void humus.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Rod secretly took Jana with him and frantically expanded the gamble of Xia Zuan.
During this period, because the gambling game was really big, Ike had to pay attention to it all the time - until he found out that the blocking limit was limited and the gambling funds were not misappropriated, and he was slightly relieved.
Since Rhodes was willing to do it, Ike had no choice but to go with him in the end.
No way, gambling itself is a legal thing to do in Zaun.
Of course, Rhodes was not the only one who had a lively mind, and some similar markets were soon opened, but unfortunately, none of them lasted more than a day.
After dozens of handicaps were picked one after another, the Zuans finally remembered the fear of being once dominated by a tavern.
Perhaps trapped and restless, Hakim found nothing to discover of the Void humus.
Although the samples provided by Rod were also carefully analyzed, this Void humus was more of a mixture, and it was difficult for Hakim to determine which of them was what Rod needed.
In this case, the research has reached a bottleneck, and it seems that only one component experiment can solve the problem.
And in the case of blocked research, although Hakim is already an elemental creature, he still feels irritability from the bottom of his heart - considering that he has already received Rhodes's payment first, Hakim has no choice but to solve the psychological problem.
In this way, Hakim and Camille, the former old lovers, finally met again after almost a hundred years of separation.
……………………
Silence is the leitmotif of the reunion.
Seeing each other again, Hakim and Camille simply said hello and silently began to drink tea without saying a word.
Although occasionally I will inadvertently sweep the corner of my eye on the other person's body, but no one can say a simple greeting.
Silence, long silence.
Outside the window, Rode, who was disguised as a night crow, looked at Camille and Hakim, who were speechless, and couldn't help but start muttering in his heart: "If this scene can be broadcast live, it is estimated that the gambling money of Zu'an Gambling will more than double, I don't know how many people will buy old love and it is difficult to renew ......"
And in the room, Camille and Hakim obviously don't know that there is a voyeur who is whispering in their hearts, they just drink the coffee and black tea in the quilt in a highly consistent rhythm, one sip after another, with precision and elegance.
Whether it is Camille or Hakim, they can no longer be considered pure human beings at this time, for them, the feelings brought by feelings are completely different from ordinary people, and when they meet again, they seem to need some adjustments, so that they can find the feeling they once felt again, to face their former lovers.
In this way, Hakim drank all the coffee in his cup, and Camille drank all the black tea in his cup.
Looking at the empty coffee cup, Hakim suddenly wanted to run away from this place - at this moment, he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Hakim had hoped that Camille would be able to leave Leather City with him and go to Shurima to live a free life, but now, Hakim had lost that passion, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that it would be good if it went on like this.
Sit across from Camille, drink coffee by yourself, Camille drinks black tea, and a piece of sugar each.
On the other hand, Camille was a little eager to try.
The last time Hakim wanted to take him away, he had to stay because of the family - now if he could, maybe Hakim could stay?
Thinking so, Camille cleared his throat and finally spoke.
"So, Hakim—did you intend to accept the offer of the Philos? Chief Hex Expert...... It's like it used to be. ”
Hakim was stunned for a moment.
"It's not easy to find a truly skilled and well-behaved master like you in Pittown." As if to explain, and as if to be talking to himself, Camille involuntarily lowered his tone and volume, "Well, that's right - it's all for the ...... of the Philos family"
The repeated mention of the Philos family made Hakim frown slightly, and although the name of the family that had once dismantled everything, Hakim still did not want to hear it.
The elemental power moved slightly, and Hakim subconsciously stood up.
The next moment, before Hakim could take a step, an invisible Hex force field froze him in place.
"Today, you can't leave." This time, Camille's tone finally firmed, "This is my ultimatum. ”
