"Come, come, come, buy, buy, buy, buy!" Heizi held a dice tube in his left hand, and he was spinning five dice around in his right hand. Just this seemingly ordinary hand had already exposed it. He became an old gambler.

"big!"

"big!"

"Small!"

"big!"

People around him began to place bets in confusion, and the war between the North and the South lasted longer than anyone imagined. Under this long-term consumption, the recruitment and recruitment of soldiers are inevitable.

Because of this, many mercenaries, bandits, gangsters and the like were included in the regular army of the Hawke Empire. These guys will train in the rear for at most half a year, and then be pulled to the front for a life-and-death fight. But there is no doubt that it is difficult to completely eliminate the wildness of these recruits in these six months of training. Because of this, there were more and more thorns in the Hawke Empire's army, so much so that they were eventually able to form an independent brigade...

Although these guys usually do a lot of bubbling things, from their point of view, they are still tightly restrained. So, when they were singled out and gathered in such a strange place. When these rebellious soldiers met, it was as if a lone wolf that had been alone for many years had found a companion. Even in the middle of the night in the past two days, nearby townspeople could hear the howls of wolves coming from them...

And when Kordak entered the so-called "military camp", he was also eye-opening to the lively scene inside. Gambling, fighting, spectators, drinking, singing... Kordak even suspected that, except for the poor conditions and facilities and the lack of women, the entertainment projects in this military camp are probably not as good as the largest entertainment venue in Melinder - the second Paradise is less.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing is the gambling game played by Heizi and the others. The three floors outside and the three floors there were crowded with people. Many soldiers on the outside were waving silver coins in their hands and clamoring to place bets without even looking at the situation in the gambling game.

"Go over there and have a look." Even though Alexander had reminded him, Kordak still had a headache after seeing this scene. They had not encountered anyone to stop them since they entered the military camp! I'm afraid even the mercenary groups organized by private organizations have much better discipline than them, right

"I'm sorry, give way." Kordak said, but the soldier in front did not react at all.

"Give way!" Kordak raised his voice, but it still had no effect.

"Let..." Kordak originally wanted to raise his voice again, but looking at the excited expressions of the group of people, he estimated that even if he shouted into their ears, they might not pay attention to him. So, the strong man shrugged helplessly, and then murmured: "Forget it."

Immediately afterwards, a series of miserable howls sounded from the periphery of the gambling house. Kordak grabbed the back collars of these soldiers like squeezing kittens, and then threw them out without even looking.

With this violent method, Kordak finally opened a path and came to the heart of the gamble. But at the same time, his high-profile behavior also attracted everyone's attention.

"I knew this was the most effective move." Kordak moved his shoulders and said to himself.

"Brother, do you want to come and play?" Heizi is not surprised to see Kordak. They have been living together for almost two weeks. You can ask around. Who in this military camp doesn't know "Heizi Casino" "? These guys seem to be here because of their reputation, but what's going on with those girls behind them

"We are mercenaries passing by. We saw it was quite lively here, so we came to take a look. My hands are a little itchy at the moment. Can we have some fun?" Kordak smiled.

"No problem, anyone with silver coins is welcome!" Heizi looked very hospitable: "Are some ladies coming together?"

"No, we don't have such a hobby." Vera showed a sweet smile, which made Regnar feel a little creepy. He knew that Vera, when this eldest sister smiles sweetly, is when she is at her most murderous. .

"That's such a pity." Heizi felt a little regretful. This girl has a good figure. If she could take off her clothes, the scene would be very sexy. But since she didn't want to, Heizi didn't force her. Although he is an old gambler, his gambling products have always been well-known.

And the reason why he didn't ask the more beautiful Annelotte or Inelise was entirely because of Annelotte's mental misdirection. The Frost Girl also knew that her group of women might cause unnecessary trouble if they entered the military camp. So from the beginning, she used her mental power to mislead the soldiers present, making them feel that her appearance was not so eye-catching.

"Okay, how do you play?" Kordak looked full of momentum. He deliberately sat there carelessly and drove out several soldiers around him who still wanted to participate, leaving only Heizi and his two companion.

"I'm not bragging. We worked as bodyguards in the casino. There are basically no rules that I don't understand, so just say it, brother." Heizi waved, and then all kinds of gambling equipment were brought over, including dice. , poker, mahjong, etc...

"The equipment is quite complete." Kordak was a little surprised: "Let's start with the simplest dice comparison. Xiao Lei, come with me!"

"Okay!" Regnar was also eager to give it a try. Although he didn't have any gambling addiction, it was good to play a few games here when he had nothing to do, just to warm up for the activities for a while.

But after more than ten minutes, Kordak and Regner's expressions turned ugly. Because Heizi's gambling skills were really good, the five sieves were shaking in the tube as if they were being squeezed in his hand, almost letting him get as many points as he wanted.

They simply gambled for a few games, and then almost lost the few silver coins they had in their pockets.

"Do you want to play something else?" Heizi asked proudly.

"That's fine." Kordak nodded.

But the change in the rules did not bring victory to Kordak, Heizi still killed them all and turned them upside down. As a result, after half an hour, Kordak and Regnar, two half-hearted gamblers, lost four or five gold coins. Although Heizi's gambling skills astonished the onlookers, Kordak and Regner's wealth and energy were even more shocking. How many years would it take for someone to encounter such a scapegoat

"Hey, boss, we got off to a bad start..." Regnar poked Kordak in the waist and whispered.

Kordak's original plan was to establish his authority in the casino or wine shop first and frighten them with the rules of these mobs. Then Kordak threw off his posture and used absolute force to beat them into submission. This is a method that Kordak came up with after thinking for half a night. Although it is a bit simple and crude, if you think about it carefully, this method may be the most effective.

But Kordak never expected that he would encounter a strong sniper attack in the first step of his plan. If he was killed by these guys in the casino now, and when he revealed his identity, wouldn't the captain be embarrassed to his grandma's house

"What should I do?" Regnar asked.

"Ask Annie, she is a mage, maybe there is something you can do." Kordak said in a low voice.

"It's useless. I'm a mage, not a gambler. I still haven't understood the rules of your gambling. I can't help you." Annelotte seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, and she remained calm. He used a communication technique to speak to the two people.

"What the hell, are we going to leave in despair today?!" Kordak thought angrily.

"I think you all have had a lot of fun, why don't we just call it a day?" Heizi smiled. He could see that the two of them didn't look good, so he decided to put it aside.

"Then..." Kordak was just about to make a strategic retreat when a crisp voice sounded behind him.

"Why don't I come and play two games!" Alian said suddenly. She had just heard about Kordak's plan on the carriage. So I also knew that it would not be particularly good for Kordak and the others if they just went back in such a dejected mood.

Although Alian was not particularly fond of Kordak and the others, they could still be considered friends of the young lady. Since her friend is in trouble, the lady will not be happy now. So helping Kordak is helping the lady, and helping the lady is what Alian should do.

So, at this difficult moment, the brave little maid stepped forward.

"Oh?" Heizi squinted at the little girl in front of him, and then said, "Can you do it?"

Alian picked up the playing cards on the table with disdain, and then smoothly performed a set of fancy card-cutting movements, followed by two more machine gun shuffles. After she finished all this, she smiled and said, "More or less."

Heizi immediately became interested. He understood how difficult Alian's moves were. It could be said that if he hadn't been a veteran for several years, it would be difficult to perform so many tricks. Therefore, for a while, Heizi felt like he had met his opponent. He asked: "Are you still gambling?"

"That's not possible!" Alian shook her head: "I don't have any money with me today."

"Then let's bet on clothes!" Before Kordak could say what he wanted to borrow money from, Heizi said first.

"No problem!" Alian was unexpectedly generous.

"What do you want to do?" Heizi looked at this confident girl and felt a strong will to fight in his heart.

"Just follow the order just now and do it again." Alian said tit for tat.

Although he didn't know how strong Alian was, Heizi's gambling skills were obvious to all. No matter how you say it, Kordak and Regnar were two people who gambled all the way from the interior of Lance continent to the seaside, but when facing Heizi, they could only throw away their armor. Therefore, everyone present was not particularly optimistic about Alian. The reason why they didn't stop Alian was purely because they treated a dead horse as a living horse.

But a few minutes later, a scene that stunned everyone appeared. Alian's body was still covered with warm and cold clothing, but Heizi across from him only had a pair of underwear left, shivering in the late winter wind...
