Section 21 Gambling

"I just heard about it yesterday. High-quality updates." Grey shrugged. "You know, I like to ask about all kinds of weird things."

"oh."

"I heard from a guest. He said that the two sisters were found to be black magicians by the church before. Black magicians are terrible guys who use corpses to conduct evil experiments and drive the Immortal Legion. Do you know, there are rumors in the south that a vampire summoned a large group of black magicians, and relying on the force of the Immortal Legion, they became king! No one can do anything to him."

"Has the church found out?"

"I heard that. But in the end, Countess Marianne used her network of relationships to force this matter down." Grey replied. "I said that your aunt has great powers. She can even be punished for murdering her husband and treason, let alone such trivial matters."

He turned his head and looked at Ashu Rufat's reaction after hearing the news. However, even if Ashu Rufat felt a huge uproar in his heart, at least he was not moved at all on the surface. His reaction seemed to be just hearing news that "we will eat barbecue for dinner."

"By the way," Ashu Rufate changed to another topic. "Have you heard of the Silverfish Chamber?"

"Of course." Grey had a strange expression on his face. "Now, all the chambers of commerce in our country are trying to join them online. That chamber of commerce... is really an exaggerated existence. Why, do you know the people over there?"

"No, I just want to know where the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce is."

"A large chamber of commerce in the south... should be said to be a large chamber of commerce that "monopolizes the South". I can assure you that it is too wrong to describe the Silverfish Chamber of commerce as 'rich can rival a country'. Just a year ago, our Kingdom of Groney just borrowed a large amount of money from that chamber of commerce..."

"I want to know, who is the owner of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce?"

"This question is difficult to answer. According to tradition, chambers of commerce are composed of merchants. High-quality updates, but the equity owners of this chamber of commerce are a secret. Some people say it is a church - because, except for the church, no one seems to have such selfless motivation and spends a huge price to promote a currency that is worth the money."

"Holly Motivation?" Ashu Rufat chuckled. "A chamber of commerce?"

"I know it's hard to believe this, but to be honest, with my personal understanding, I really can't think of any benefits that the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce has gained in the promotion of "Oli". Even if there are benefits, it is the benefit of everyone, not the family. You see, all our things are now priced with "Oli". For merchants, many things that were originally troublesome have become very labor-saving. Not only us, it is said that even the dwarves and elves are now willing to accept "Oli". We must praise the selfless spirit of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce."

They talked about the public security and business topics in Brassian for a long time. Ashu Rufat finally felt that he had disturbed him for a long time, so he stood up and said goodbye. Grey politely sent him away, and emphasized that he would come back to visit the city next time he entered the city.

After Ashu Rufate left, he did not return to his office to handle his daily work, but instead put on his hat and walked out the door. However, the action seemed a bit redundant, because he had just walked downstairs and saw that the person he was about to meet was already waiting for him at the door.

"Mr. Lyle." Grey immediately took the initiative to greet him.

Lyle also showed a very enthusiastic and positive attitude this time, and the two soon returned to Grey's office to have a secret conversation.

"Does Eshu Rufat have any special performance?"

"If I were to say something, he didn't seem to care at all." Gray replied cautiously.

"You told the rumor about the black magician?"

"I said it. But he didn't look surprised at all, and didn't even ask the details of the rumor." Grey tried hard to recall the expression of Ashu Ruffat just now. High-quality updates "I believe either he knew it long ago or he didn't care at all."

"All these mercenaries are hooligans who want money and life!" Lyle said hatefully. Damn, I thought this would have some effect.

"But... I just discovered something unexpectedly. Ashu Rufat stayed in the Slan Chamber of Commerce for a long time and carefully consulted about the issue of exchange coins."

"Exchange coins? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I asked the person who received him. It seems that our Mr. Ashu Rufate has some gold that we want to exchange for easy-to-use Oli."

"Oh...but I heard of mercenaries..."

"Even if it is a mercenary, it's not surprising that he has some private savings. Besides, he wants to exchange it... It means that what he has is not money, but something that is difficult to spend in normal times... Maybe it is gold and silver utensils robbed in the war or something."

"This is..." Lyle's eyes lit up suddenly. "I have a way... The next time he comes to see you, I'll find a way to take him to the gambling house there."

"Gambling house? But..."

"There is a friend of mine in that gambling hall. I will explain everything." Lyle said anxiously. "Take him over there, and if possible, you can help him as the guarantor. Of course, I won't give you any risks. You just need to guarantee him a small amount of money. Just encourage him to sit down at the gambling table... the rest will be easy."

"But I think he is a smart person and should not do such things." Grey immediately realized the other party's plan. "A small gambling is fun, and you can win or lose a few copper coins or a few silver coins, so of course there is no problem. But if there is a large amount of gambling, a smart person will choose to leave immediately."

"It is impossible for a mercenary to not be gamble," Lyle replied. "I know such a scum! Don't worry, he will definitely be gamble... Of course, even if he doesn't gamble, it will not harm you. After all, you only play a kind friend."

"This is..." Grey replied softly. "Then, Mr. Lyle, about our agreement..."

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for introducing you to the Governor. As long as this matter is completed smoothly, within one month, I promise to arrange a chance to meet the Governor. Of course, I can only guarantee that the Governor will meet you, and there is nothing else to do."

"Of course, of course, I will naturally talk to the Governor in detail about those business details."

Leave this house, Lyle showed a rare smile on his face. Really, why did he think of such a stupid idea of ​​using violence to solve problems? The other party was obviously a scumbag with countless flaws, but he was futile to launch an attack in the strongest direction of the other party? At that time, he really wanted to solve the problem quickly, and hasteness would not be achieved.

If that Ash Rufate owed a large gambling debt... then, even Countess Marian would consider this marriage again.

...

It was a few days after the second time Ashu Rufate entered the city. He came to the Slan Chamber of Commerce again, and by chance, he met the young guy who had once introduced him to him again.

The young man obviously had a business talent because he recognized Ash Rufate at a glance and took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically.

"Oh, sir, come this time..." His eyes were on a leather bag in Ashu Rufate's hand. This was found by Ashu Rufate from the manor warehouse, and was left in a corner and ignored. Ashu Rufate put it away. Although the bag was dirty and old, it was still usable. The disadvantage of this bag was that it was more cumbersome and heavy, and the advantage was that it could hold heavy things. "Exchange it for Oli?"

"That's right." Ash Rufate admitted.

"plz follow me."

After a few moves, Ashu Rufate was taken to a room. Two or three people wearing floral uniforms and bow tie were waiting here. Under the eyes of these people, Ashu Rufate opened his leather pocket and took out gold nuggets from his pocket.

Several appraisers immediately devoted their work. It was indeed gold. Although there were many impurities, low purity, and not fixed in shape, the gold was still gold. What they were really surprised was the weight of gold. Ashrufate easily lifted gold almost equal to an adult's weight with just one arm.

"Two thousand seven hundred big gold Oli." The appraisal work went smoothly. Both parties were very satisfied with the appraisal results - as the young guy said, the transaction here was fair. Ashu Rufate himself also felt that the appraisal results were quite satisfactory.

"Do you want coins or money?"

...

A few minutes later, he returned to the street. There were shops on both sides of the street. He had looked at them the last time, but that time he didn't bring any money, so he didn't go in and take a closer look. But now, he might be...

"Ash Rufate!" A voice sounded, and he turned around and saw Grey, the businessman who was eager to open up the situation here. Although Ash Rufate knew that he might not have any value to Grey's business, he did not need to point this out specifically.

"I'm glad to meet you." Grey smiled and looked excited. "I just said something good will happen today. Why are you hanging out here?"

"Ah, that's right." Ashu Rufate noticed the other party's enthusiasm. "Where are you?"

"It's good if you have time, how about it? Come with me to go shopping!" Grey enthusiastically grabbed Ashu Rufat's hand. "Take two?"

"This..." Ashu Rufate actually wanted to say "It's not good", but he felt that this was disappointing.
