Chapter 23 Babel Casino

The rainy season in late winter and early spring is mixed with coldness and moisture in the south, which is really cold.

All of Alvin's vocations lived in a tavern called "Fengshi". He made a great move to wrap up the place. The tavern is located in the south city, but is adjacent to the Funing River. It has a very good location. Although it is not large in scale, it is a place to be quiet in the midst of chaos. Alvin fell in love with this place at a glance.

The Philodie brothers naturally would not be able to squeeze into Alvin and his group. After all, these two brothers had to carry Alvin on their backs.

"Let's go out for a walk..." Alvin held his chin and looked out the mist and mist outside the window, sighing. He couldn't remember how many times he said this in the past few days.

"You don't want it anymore, right?" Onion put down the magic script in his hand and glanced at someone coldly.

Sure enough, I received an expected veto again.

Since the blue light suddenly appeared that day, Onian knew that Feng Crane was very hiding and lying in a tiger, and she had all kinds of masters. In addition, Alvin had just recovered from his serious injury and could not bear serious injuries, so he naturally had to pay great attention.

That day in the Nianhua Building, the hunchbacked old man had already made Onian very alert, and then she was shocked when she saw the blue python sword energy soaring into the sky. So, Alvin was pressed tightly by Onian in the past few days and was not allowed to go out.

"Yes, you guys, just settle down." Theresia snuggled into Alvin's arms, poked Alvin's cheek with her finger, and said with a helping voice, "Now that all forces are coming to this Fengkran, we should be safe."

"I am not afraid of people who are so cautious. What are you afraid of?" Alvin said with a sigh.

"I don't know what you are thinking yet? How could a person who is so afraid of death suddenly be so bold? Hum?" Onion stood up and walked over, looking at Alvin carefully and said.

Alvin was so scared that he was so scared that he retracted into the sofa and blocked Theresia in front of him.

"Yes, why do you want to go out so much?" Theresia turned around and looked at Alvin suspiciously.

"Hmph, isn't he still thinking about seeing that girl in Nianhuan Tower that day?" Onion said angrily.

"Oh..." Theresia suddenly realized, and then twisted Alvin's bra in annoyance.

"Ouch..." Alvin was in pain and quickly pushed away the demon claws.

"You believe me. This is the capital of the empire. Who dares to do anything at the feet of the emperor?" Alvin tried to deceive him with such unreliable remarks. Even if he didn't believe this, he himself didn't believe it.

It happened that Tulang came and knocked on the door at this time and said there was a good place to ask Alvin if he would go. Alvin secretly laughed at this old guy and probably was so suffocated.

"Go and go!" Alvin didn't care about the glaring eyes of the two girls in the room, and quickly answered.

In order not to appear so silly, Alvin left Feiya, Yuhao and the guards in the tavern. He, Onian and Theresia went out with Tulang.

The group of four walked for a long time to the south of the city and stopped in front of a casino. Along the way, Alvin couldn't help but sigh that the south of Fengkran was really mixed with dragons and snakes. The south bank of the Funing River was still dominated by galleries and theaters, and when they came south, they were messy. Casinos, brothels, and black markets were everywhere. There were small vendors selling potions, coarse ores and monsters on both sides of the street.

Even though it was drizzling at this moment, it could not stop the enthusiasm of these vendors to do business. They could shout with the ragged roof, and they were not unhappy at all because of the disappointing rain.

Alvin looked at the signboard of the casino in front of him, Tongtian, and couldn't help but feel very interesting. He thought that although the casino's storefront stands out in this southern city, it would not be able to match such a "rich" name, but people may be pursuing "wealthy can lead to the sky", and he should be narrow-minded.

"Is this what you said interesting?" Alvin glanced at Tulang with a suspicion, "Isn't it just a casino?"

Tulang smiled, "You'll know when you go in."

When the servant at the door saw Tulang, he smiled and greeted him, "I haven't seen Tulang for a long time, how can I have fun during this period?"

Tulang laughed and scolded: "Happy, no, old man, I don't have that kind of life. Let's go to the death and lead the way." As he said, he stuffed some change into the servant's hands.

The servant smiled and led everyone into the casino.

Standing at the entrance of the casino

When Elvin passed by two tall and mighty guards, he could feel that these strong men were all extraordinary. I think the power behind this "Tongtian" casino should not be underestimated.

As soon as I entered the store, I saw a scene of crowds of people.

There are dozens of gambling tables of all sizes on the first floor, and each table is filled with gambling players. There are roulettes, cards, and sieve cups. Compared to those small gambling shops with dark and cramped gambling methods, this place is full of everything and everything is available.

After entering this mixed place, Alvin admired his foresight. Before he set out, he instructed the two girls behind him to dress up low-key to avoid unnecessary trouble. Onian came up with an idea, she and Theresia were just enough to dress up as a man. So, at this time, these three beautiful young "men" followed Tulang without causing much commotion. After all, the noble men came here to enjoy themselves.

It's not unusual to be a common occurrence. If these two girls dress up, they would attract the attention of many gangsters and hooligans, and then they would have to be involved in a meaningless fight. Feng Cran is not familiar with the place here, so Alvin dares not be too presumptuous. In fact, the safest way is to not go out, but he just can't stand this temperament. As for whether Alvin, whom Onian guessed, was not sure.

The servant who led the way must have known Tulang's preferences and led his group to the second floor.

It turned out that the second floor was full of "war chess" enthusiasts. But although they were enthusiasts, most of them were still betting on winning or losing. Alvin looked at Luni in bags on both sides of the board and knew what was going on. After all, it was mostly mental labor, and the second floor was much less noise than downstairs.

Alvin was also a little familiar with this war chess. After all, when he was Saluhe, the "Four Young Masters" could be said to be all good at playing time. This war chess board is composed of 10×10 grids, and the chess pieces are composed of kings, prime ministers, magicians, knights, missionaries, and soldiers. Each player has one king, one prime minister, two magicians, knights, missionaries, and assassins, and ten soldiers. The rule is that the king on which side is about to die is considered to be lost.

The movement of the chess piece is not complicated. You can only choose any chess piece to move in a single turn. The pawn's movement can only move in one square in front, left and right directions, and the knight can move infinitely in four directions. The magician can move one square in any direction in eight directions, and can kill all enemy pieces in the range of 3×3 around him within the round. The missionary moves one square in front, back, left and right directions, and can subdue any enemy units in the range of 3×3 (excluding kings and prime ministers). The assassin can move in eight directions, but the number of active grids is related to the number of "forbearance" rounds, such as not moving in this round.

When moving assassin chess, the assassin chess is considered to accumulate a number of steps. When the assassin begins to consume the accumulated number of steps, the accumulated number of steps by another assassin chess on his side (if it exists), is zero, and the movement of the assassin chess in the oblique direction is considered to consume two steps. The prime minister's words are in the shape of "sun", but when the king is being the opponent's assassin, he can come out to "protect the car", use himself to block the general this time, and die with the opponent's assassin. Moreover, the prime minister's "protect the car" skill is activated at any position on the board. As for the king, he can move one square in eight directions.

"I didn't see it. Are you still good at this thing?" Alvin teased at Tulang.

"Don't look at me, old man, I'm usually confused, I'm not vague at all in this regard." Tulang said with a proud look on his face.

Alvin smiled on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: "Come on, you old guy is not confused usually." He and Tulang drafted the "Declaration of Freedom" together. He knew very well about Tulang's ability. "Don't look at this old guy wearing a pair of black glasses and his hair is not taken care of, and he is very ungrateful. In fact, he is as careful as a hair, and he is a skilled person." He said intimately.

"That means you are going to kill all the people today?" Alvin said with a big laugh. "Looking at your appearance, you can't beat Looney?"

Tulang shook his head and said, "Oh, it's a vulgar thing to say that you won money. I haven't played chess for a long time and it's boring. I haven't touched this thing in the past six months since I went to you. I've really thought about it day and night, and I've been thinking about it."

"Ah? Then why don't you come to me? I can do this, too." Alvin sighed.

"Looking for you? Nothing to look for you! Are you busy fighting in the cosmetics array? Can I find you?" Tulang exposes it in anger.

Onian and Theresia nodded with great concern, both looking at Alvin with contempt.

"What do you say? How many games will you fight with me today?" Tulang said as he found a chess table and sat down.

"Then let me watch it

Fight and see how good your old man is." Alvin said sly.

Tulang pointed at Alvin and said disdainfully, "You are just a chess player and you don't have the courage to end up." This old guy saw Alvin show off in front of the girls every day, and he felt so angry that he felt so angry. Now he was given a chance to humiliate Alvin in front of the girls, so he would naturally be ruthless.

Seeing someone being humiliated by Tulang pointing at the nose, both girls couldn't help but smile. It seemed that seeing Alvin was much more interesting than watching him show off.

Alvin didn't care either, so he went to the bar to order some dried fruit plates and fruit drinks. When he came back, he found that Tulang's table was surrounded by many people.

It seems that Tulang did not deceive Alvin. He is indeed famous in this regard. If you can call so many players who are gambling around to see him, you must have some strength.

Seeing Alvin coming over with a snack plate, the two girls were not polite, and he grabbed a lot of almonds, hazelnuts and ginkgo. Not to mention, the carefully fried snacks in the casino were quite delicious. After tasting them, their eyes lit up. Of course, the price was not cheap, so it would cost five Looneys to take for this plate.

"How is that old guy going?" Alvin looked at the center of the crowd, and then asked at the two girls beside him.

"When I was just watching, Tulang took some advantage. A knight changed to two peers on the opposite side and a missionary." Onion replied.

"Ah? Do you understand this too?" Alvin was quite surprised.

"The teacher taught me." Onian looked dissatisfied.

"Master Pyro...I really know everything." Alvin nodded and sighed.

"You're done, it seems that the fifth master is going to win this game. Ha, your thirty-year-old Luni is probably not guaranteed." At this time, Alvin heard someone nearby chess viewing people joking.

"Yes, the fifth master's current advantage in the scene is as good as Emperor Kangbad's attack on Shuilan Pass." Someone echoed. This metaphor is quite appropriate and resonated with many people.

"Oh? That doesn't necessarily mean you win?" Alvin interrupted with slight thought.

As soon as he finished speaking, the few people who discussed the chess game before turned around and glanced at him like a fool. They just thought Alvin was a stupid nobleman who had never read history and did not care about him.

In fact, Alvin began to study the history of the North after he came to the North. However, he was never careless about anything he wanted to study. Obviously, he had different views on the "Water Languan Battle" hundreds of years ago.

At that time, Emperor Kangbad, the founding emperor of the Fuwei Empire, led a large army to advance eastward and attacked the last barrier of the Ruan Hong Empire, Shuilan Pass. Ruan Hongjun, who were retreating step by step, wanted to rely on defending Shuilan Pass to wait for the changes of time, but they had less than 50,000 people, facing the 400,000 troops of the Fuwei Empire.

The facts were as everyone expected. The battle at Shuilan Pass did not last long. Emperor Kangbad won the pass with thunder and then faced a flat horse, and defeated the Ruan Hong Empire in the east and completed the unification of the north.

"This young man, you seem to have a different view of the war that has lasted for hundreds of years?" At this time, an old man walked to Alvin's side and put his hand into Alvin's tray and grabbed it.

"Hey! You..." Alvin looked at the old man's actions in surprise, and then couldn't help laughing. Naturally, he wouldn't be angry with such an old man, so he could only smile helplessly and persuade him to open up. After all, there are all kinds of people in this kind of casino. Onian and Theresia could see clearly from the side, and both of them looked at Alvin with a teasing look on their faces.

The old man's mind was already bald, and there were "two petals" of white hair left and right in his ears. The noisy casino was a little too warm. The old man held a wide hat and slapped his sweat-wet hair in the wind while chewing the dried fruits he grabbed from Alvin, looking very funny.

"Come on, come on, tell me, I like to hear these things the most in old things." The old man said with a smile, the nuts in his mouth were not chewed out.

"This...I haven't finished watching this chess yet." Alvin shirked.

"What's the good thing about it? This old guy Tulang is making a condom and you'll win in a while." The old man muttered this, as if he was not interested in the chess game that everyone was concerned about.

"Hey, you..." Alvin was forced to pull him by the old man and sat on another chess table beside him.

"Why do you think that Emperor Conbad may not win?" the old man said to Alvin with a close eye.
