Section 227 Betting

Two days later in the morning, outside the imperial capital, all the nobles who were going to participate in the Autumn Hunting went out with their families to see off their children who were participating in the Autumn Hunting. There were hundreds of high-end carriages, various nobles, ladies, servants, and guards, totaling tens of thousands of people, almost blocking the city gate.

In such a lively occasion, it is naturally the best time to compare with each other. The ladies and ladies all took out their best jewelry. They were covered in jewels and jewels, as if they wanted to suppress the brilliance of the sun. While they were deliberately showing off their jewelry, they were talking to each other about which family's children attracted the most attention this year.

Unlike those women, when men fight together, the conversation will naturally be about their respective mounts. After all, cavalry is still the main force in combat on the mainland. On the battlefield, a group of good mounts will often save their master's life. Therefore, good mounts are highly valued by nobles, because these days, almost all nobles have to go to the battlefield to fight, so life-saving things are naturally the most important thing!

It is precisely because of this that mounts have become a very important part of aristocratic culture, and almost all wealthy families have many good mounts. And almost all the magical beasts on the mainland that could be used as mounts were looted by them.

On today's big day, of course they will not miss this opportunity to show off, and they will accompany the good mounts they have collected to the children who are about to travel far. Ever since, the entire city outside was like a zoo, with all kinds of Warcraft mounts everywhere. There are warrior wolves from the orcs, shadow leopards from the elves, and wildebeests, the level 2 wind monsters that are unique to the human world. Anyway, there are all kinds of them, at least dozens of varieties, but most of them are second or third level monsters. There are very few advanced ones. Because high-level monsters are inherently rare and have bad tempers, they cannot be tamed without considerable strength. And now they are all young people. Obviously they do not have the ability to tame high-level mounts.

Under such circumstances, the appearance of two level four monsters immediately alarmed everyone. Those were the two most famous mounts of the dwarves, pangolins, also known as armored lizards. This kind of thing has always been known for its strong defense and super endurance. It is a very good mount. Once the armored lizards, which are almost slightly larger than a rhinoceros, charge collectively, they are like an iron wall, and their power can be great. Not an ordinary pervert.

It’s just that there aren’t many dwarves like this kind of mount, and it’s hard to equip their own elite knights, so they almost never sell them to the outside world. Being able to obtain such a mount is obviously not only a manifestation of wealth, but more importantly, it must also have a deep relationship with the dwarves. The two people sitting on the armored lizard now are the third prince Kalapani and Pablo of the August family.

It turns out that the last time the dwarf master Pilitz came to the Griffin Kingdom to participate in the auction of the Thunder Knife, he brought a group of elite pangolin knights from the dwarf clan. Pablo and Piriz walked together and were envious of this armored lizard. I always wanted to get two to use as mounts, but the dwarf knights use their mounts as their lifeblood, how can they give them away easily?

So, he came up with an idea. While he tried his best to entertain the dwarves and make them feel that they owed him a favor, the other half secretly put a special drug in the armored lizard's food, making the two An armored lizard got mysteriously sick.

Since the dwarves didn't understand pharmacies, they naturally couldn't see anything strange. They just thought it was due to fatigue from the journey and some acclimatization to the new place. At this time, it was time for the dwarf to go back. Pablo had already wasted a lot of time on meeting Lao Xie, and he really couldn't delay it any longer.

In this case, Pablo proposed that he take care of the two sick armored lizards and then send them over when August's caravan went to the dwarf kingdom next year. Of course, when he said this, he naturally showed his love for the armored lizard. Anyone who saw it knew that he really liked it.

You know, dwarves have very straightforward tempers and are quite generous to their friends. Take a look at this. He simply decided to give the two sick armored lizards to Pablo, which could be regarded as repaying the favor of the August family. So, two rare armored lizards came into Pablo's hands. It happened that the third prince Kalapani also liked it, so Pablo naturally gave him one as a gift. In fact, the reason why he got two was that he had already planned to give one to his cousin, the third prince. The purpose was of course Just to please the future emperor.

With these two stunning armored lizards, the third prince Kalapani and Pablo suddenly became the focus of everyone. The two sat on the backs of the armored lizards, enjoying the admiration and compliments of the crowd. I feel elated and feel so happy!

At this time, the proud laughter of Frank, the patriarch of the August family, could be heard in the circle where the heads of several big families were standing among the people seeing him off: "Haha, Pablo is a very lovable kid. Especially Master Pilitz of the dwarf tribe, he likes him even more. Look, he even gave him two armored lizards!"

"Ah!" Everyone immediately exclaimed in unison.

Then, Frank proudly said to the fat man on his side: "I wonder what little Stephen will ride on this time? I heard that he can command the flying dragon. Does he want to fly to the autumn hunting by himself?" Obviously? , he wanted to outshine the fat man in this matter.

Fatty actually didn’t know what Lao Xie would ride on, but he knew that the most important part of an activity like autumn hunting was interaction. If he rode a flying mount to stay away from everyone, he might as well go hunting by himself. , it means nothing. So he immediately sneered, "Don't worry, Duke Frank, he obviously won't ride a flying dragon!"

"Oh?" Frank immediately asked curiously: "Then what will he ride? Could it be a group of horses? With his size, I am afraid that ordinary horses will be crushed by him! Haha ! ”

Then he burst into laughter. Although the others did not dare to laugh out loud in order not to offend Fatty, the smiles on their faces could not be hidden from Fatty.

"Huh!" The fat man couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Although my child will not be given a mount by a dwarf master, he will not ride a horse. Maybe he will surprise you. ”

"Surprised me?" Frank immediately said amusedly: "Excluding the flying dragon, does he have a more powerful mount than the armored lizard?"

"That's not certain!" Fatty said coldly.

"Oh, in that case, how about making a bet?" Frank said with a smile.

There is a losing battle. In the aristocratic circle, you can bet and lose, but you cannot not bet because you are afraid of losing. The latter can only become the laughing stock of everyone. Anyway, the Stephen family has a big business and doesn't care about the bet at all, so the fat man directly mocked: "Okay, last time you generously took away so many bow-making materials that I didn't have, and made me a big profit. I’m worried that I won’t be able to spend the money! Tell me, how much do you want to bet?”

As soon as the fat man deliberately mentioned what happened last time, Frank's face immediately turned green with anger. You know, he paid a huge sum of money last time! I almost vomited blood. Although the emperor gave him a chance to sell his inventory, the materials were collected at three times the price. Even if they were sold to the Bright Empire tax-free, they would only be sold at two times the price at most. Because the news of the appearance of the iron bow had already been received, and Frank had too many goods, the price of bow-making materials began to drop sharply. Anyway, the August family lost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins for each entry and exit.

Such a heavy loss has left deep scars in Frank's heart. He finally forgot about it a few months later, but it was revealed by the fat man in public. Can he not be angry? So in anger, he yelled: "100,000 gold coins, do you dare?"

When the fat man heard this, he was so excited that he didn't faint. They usually bet against each other, but it was a bet of several thousand gold coins. How could it be so big? This is obviously because Frank feels confident and wants to give Fatty a hard blow?

If it were a few thousand gold coins, it wouldn't matter if the fat man lost, but when he heard such a huge amount, he wasn't an idiot, so how could he agree? So he immediately wanted to shake his head and refuse. He would rather lose face than let Frank easily defraud him of a huge sum of 100,000 gold coins.

But at this moment, an old voice suddenly came: "I agreed for him!" Then, an old man with a white beard suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone saw that it was the backbone of the Griffin Kingdom, the Lightning Saint! It turned out that the old mage had something to do in the palace early this morning. When he was going back after finishing his work, he happened to pass by here and heard the bet between Frank and the fat man. Since someone wants to give him 100,000 gold coins, can he say no? So he came forward in person right away!

When everyone saw it was him, they hurriedly saluted him respectfully. The old mage smiled and waved to them, and then smiled at Frank: "One hundred thousand gold coins, right? My old man accepted this bet on behalf of the Stephen family!"
