Regnar: "..."
Kordak: "..."
Vera: “…”
Annelotte: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Alian was doing a fancy card cut with one hand triumphantly. She looked at Heizi with satisfaction, who was left with only a pair of underwear after losing, and then asked in a scornful tone: "Who else is dissatisfied?"
Although there were many soldiers drinking, chatting or shouting around, the people around the gambling game opened by Heizi fell into a deathly silence. Heizi is a man who has worked in casinos for several years. He can be considered a veteran in gambling. Even he lost everything. Who else would dare to come and challenge him
"Hmph! With this level of skill, do you still have a gambling game in the military camp? Go back and practice for a few more years!" Alian did not forget to stimulate Heizi with a few words.
"Damn it! I want to bet on the last round!" Heizi obviously couldn't stand others' contempt for his gambling skills.
"No problem!" Alian nodded nonchalantly.
However, Kordak behind him pointed out a sharp question at this time: "But brother, you only have a pair of shorts now, what are you betting on? Do you really want to be naked in public?"
"Hahahahaha!" The people around couldn't help but laugh.
"Then let's change the prize." Heizi said angrily: "If she loses, I want all of you women to take off their clothes! Naked!"
"Alian!" Regnar came over. This last bet was a bit big. If he lost, could he really let Annie and the others take off their clothes? Not to mention whether Annelotte agrees or not, I am afraid that the Sword Master of the Wind, whose face is as dark as ink, will directly kill these scum...
"No problem, believe me!" Alian was full of confidence. She turned to Heizi and said, "What if you lose?"
"I'll give you all the gold coins I won on this table!" Heizi gritted his teeth.
"No, no, no!" Alian waved her index finger, pointed at Kordak behind her, and then said, "If you lose, then you must obey his orders."
"What does he want me to do?" Heizi was very alert.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I can guarantee that it is not against the laws of the empire or human morality." Kordak said with a smile.
"..." Heizi hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "It's a bet!"
"How are you going to compete?" Alian spread her hands.
"It's better to shake the dice to compare the size!" Heizi said: "The size is up to you!"
"That's it!" Alian said simply.
A few minutes later, even though Kuroko was completely naked, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He had bet with Alian for more than a dozen games, and in every game the two of them hit the maximum or minimum point at the same time.
It is not very difficult for a gambling master to control the number of dice with his own skills, but the difficulty is to be able to do it without fail in more than a dozen games. Being able to fight until now without making any mistakes is already the limit for Heizi. But look at Alian again, the maid still has a relaxed expression on her face. She lazily determines the size, and then lazily shakes out the largest thirty points or the smallest one. Everything seems as simple as eating.
After two more games, the winner was finally decided. In the final game, Alian got 30 points without any accident, while Heizi only got 3 points because of the trembling of his hands. Thirty to twenty-seven, Alian finally won the victory after more than twenty draws.
"I lost..." Heizi seemed to be relieved after losing. He looked at Alian feebly and couldn't help asking: "Who are you? How can you have such superb gambling skills at such a young age? "
"Hmph! You have only been a bodyguard in a casino for a few years. When I was a child, my family ran a casino!" Alian looked enigmatic, but there was a bit of sadness in her heart.
She was born in a small city in the province of Semrela, although her family was not a prominent noble. But it also opened a big jam in that city, and in terms of money, it was not a small amount.
And Alian has also been influenced by her family since she was a child. Coupled with her amazing talent, she was already able to skillfully use various gambling equipment when she was seven or eight years old. By the age of twelve or thirteen, she had become a rare player in the casino. A master now.
But four years ago, the Blood Hand Brotherhood took a fancy to their casino. They colluded with government officials and tried every means to bring down their family. In the end, their father was assassinated by the Blood Hand Brotherhood, and their second uncle was falsely accused of violating imperial laws and imprisoned.
As for Alian... she lost completely in a bet and was eventually sold as a slave to Merindl. It was at that time that Malolite took a fancy to this clever little girl while wandering around and made her a maid at the Gale Wind Mansion.
Due to the shadow caused by her previous gambling losses, Alian did not have the idea of starting from scratch again through gambling. She asked Malolite to find her only relative, her mother, and then peacefully worked as a maid in the Gale Mansion.
It is precisely because of Malolite's kindness to her that the attendants at the Gale Wind Mansion have been replaced several times in the past three or four years due to insufficient wages, but Alian still stays here with all her heart. And all this did not improve until Annelotte arrived.
Half a year ago, Alian heard that the Blood Hand Brotherhood, which destroyed her family, was completely destroyed by a mysterious assassin who called himself Dark Elegy. After hearing the news, she found a deserted corner and cried loudly. The Blood Hand Brotherhood has been a knot in her mind for the past few years, and she is not without thoughts of revenge, but as a helpless little girl, what can she do against such a terrifying organization
But this dark elegy fulfilled her wish. I heard that the scumbag Taiwen died in his hands. From then on, Alian had another wish, which was to meet the dark elegy.
But because Dark Elegy's identity is too mysterious, and since the incident with the Blood Hand Brotherhood, he has never appeared again. , it is almost impossible for Alian to find him. Therefore, after a month or two, she gradually buried this wish in her heart and stopped thinking about it.
But a few months later, something happened that Alian didn't expect - the name of Dark Elegy would once again be spread in the Hawke Empire. What surprised her even more was that she had seen that dark elegy before!
It’s that Lei who calls himself the lady’s friend! He's the young boy with a playful smile and an unflattering face! After learning about this incident, Alian was in shock. She didn't believe it at first, so Alian intentionally or unintentionally inquired about it from Annelotte.
But Annelotte's answer made her disbelief.
"The rumors are all true. Ray's real name is Regnar, and he and I were originally in the same mercenary team. As for Dark Elegy, that should be the title given to him by his teacher." Annelotte said at the time.
After receiving confirmation from Annelotte, Alian had to accept this fact. That boy... that Lei... that guy who was sarcastically spoken to by me, that dark elegy who destroyed the Blood Hand Brotherhood...
After Alian accepted this fact, her attitude towards Regnar became strange. On the one hand, she hopes to see him again and wants to say thank you to him face to face. On the other hand, Alian is extremely disgusted with him. Who would let this guy mess with my noble lady
Therefore, since knowing the news, Alian will always think of Regnar consciously or unconsciously. This is also the reason why Alian recognized Regnar as soon as they met.
Of course, Alian's psychological activities at this moment are not known to everyone. They are all shocked by Alian's superb gambling skills. Only Annelotte seemed to be aware of Alian's depression, but in front of everyone, she couldn't ask any more questions. The girl just patted Alian's shoulder gently, and then sent an encouraging message. Eyes.
Alian forced a smile, and then said: "Alian jumped out on her own initiative today. I hope the lady won't blame me."
"You did a good job." Annelotte said, "Thanks to you, the boss and the others were able to avoid some trouble today."
"Miss, do you really care about those people?" Alian couldn't help but ask. She knew Annelotte's temperament well, and for her to say such words was enough to show that Annelotte valued them.
"They are my friends." Annelotte nodded: "Since they are friends, they should be taken seriously, right?"
Alian looked at Annelotte, then lowered her head slightly: "Alian understands."
"I lost. If you have anything to do, just tell me." Heizi stood up helplessly. Before losing, he might have been angry and unwilling. But now that winning or losing is a foregone conclusion, Heizi also accepted the bet and lost. , according to him, this is a gambling product. If a gambler doesn't even have the courage to admit defeat, then he doesn't deserve to be a gambler at all.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Now, help me gather everyone together." Kordak moved his shoulders, and then it was time for him to show off his skills.
"Gather everyone together? What do you want to do?" Heizi was a little more wary. This was a military camp after all. If a strange mercenary broke in and yelled at them, the impact might not be too good.
"You can scream if you are told to. This is an order!" Eberron finally couldn't bear it anymore. If Kordak hadn't suppressed him, he would have wanted to clean up this undisciplined mob at the beginning. .
"Order?" Eberron's attitude also made Heizi a little angry: "Why should I obey your order?"
"Because the person standing in front of you is the supreme commander of your independent brigade, the captain of the independent brigade Kordak!" Eberron revealed his identity.
