The three middle-aged male gamblers all had big bellies and looked full of fat.
Their appearance is almost the same, right down to their hair color and facial details.
They turned out to be three rare twin brothers.
These guys were meticulous and half-reclined on armchairs covered with silk cushions.
A handful of chips were casually rolled out, and a beautiful dealer placed bets for them.
There is also a hot maid with her breasts close to their mouths, and the bright red wine flows down.
This is the luxury of serving wine, and ordinary people cannot enjoy such treatment.
As for the only female gambler, she looked to be in her thirties and was extremely well-maintained. She had no wrinkles on her face and her skin was as delicate as a girl's.
In the Endless Continent, it is easier to maintain good looks than to extend life.
Many aristocratic young ladies are actually much older than they look.
This lady gambler even behaved more boldly than the three twin brothers.
Anyone who can bet at the same table as Baron Edie must be a person of great wealth.
Of course, here they are all shills for the gold coin symphony arrangement.
Everyone wants to see the Baron as humble as an ant.
They will personally mark the city of Seakabang with the symbol of destruction.
Baron Edie Nickles, who was sitting at the front seat, was holding a large glass of psychedelic poisonous wine brewed from betel nuts.
This fruit is one of the main ingredients for making paralyzing poison.
Its leaves are slightly toxic and will cause paralysis and mild hallucinations after chewing.
This poisonous drink is keeping Baron Edie Nicholls in a state of high.
His rationality has been completely suppressed, and his thoughts are completely filled with the pleasure and stimulation brought by drinking, sex and gambling.
After some betting, the chips in front of his table quickly dwindled.
"How about it, Lord Baron, do you want to continue?"
"Today is already the forty-ninth day, and I'm about to break your record of continuous betting on Fantasy Dice."
One of the three twin brothers said with a smile.
This was a premeditated act of provocation.
They have already figured out Baron Edie's character.
The more you lose, the easier it is to get irritated.
"Bang!"
Sure enough, the confused Baron Edie suddenly hammered the table.
Colorful chips bounce up under the vibration.
"Continue, of course continue!"
"Dear Nasha, I love your two big boys so much."
"Quickly, give me some more chips for Sir..."
He hugged one of the tall and sexy croupiers beside him, and swept the uneven scenery with an infatuated expression.
At this time, the lady sitting at the opposite table gently closed her legs and clamped a certain ignorant head.
Then he asked in a slightly frivolous tone.
"Lord Baron, just now, you have lost your last manor outside the city."
"Hehehe..."
Faced with these mocking words, Baron Edie Nichols regained some consciousness.
"shut your mouth…"
"I'm talking about the one above!"
Baron Edie retorted.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the box.
During this period of time, they, the gamblers, have become familiar with each other and do not mind the foul language among each other.
After finishing his scolding, Baron Edie frowned and looked at the two beautiful dealers beside him.
"Ellenwe, Nasha..."
"Look how much is left of the land title I brought?"
The croupier smiled slightly and opened the magic storage box next to him.
The only five remaining land deeds were taken out.
Four of them are of his properties in different neighborhoods of the city.
There is also a title deed to the baronial castle and gardens.
Although Idi Nickles is the consul of the city appointed by the kingdom.
It has great autonomy rights, but the land inside and outside the city is not completely privately owned.
Many handicraft owners, retired landowners, and businessmen own a lot of real estate and fields.
In fact, the industries of a state city are able to expand steadily year by year precisely based on the foundation of private ownership.
No one is willing to sell their land and leave their hometown unless they have no choice.
The city of Seakabang has reached this stage due to both man-made disasters and natural disasters.
"Brewery, spice shop, slaughterhouse..."
“All three of these will be exchanged for chips!”
He finally selected three more land deeds from the remaining five.
The Baronial Castle and Gardens are his home.
It is also the final bottom line in my heart.
Although this bottom line may be broken at any time, at least it still exists for now.
It is not uncommon for a state to change its rulers, but the baron who lost his castle at the gambling table is the laughing stock.
The slim croupier Nasha held the three land deeds with magical imprints in her arms, twisted her round hips and left the gaming table.
A few minutes later, she brought back more chips.
Immediately, the gambling game continued.
Looking at Baron Edie Nichols walking towards the abyss step by step.
The three twin brothers and the lady gambler secretly smiled at each other.
…
Seakabang City, inside the Baron's Castle.
Mrs. Navi changed into a neat and clean shirt and trousers.
The whalebone lining tightened her waist and lifted her breasts, making her posture much taller.
The dejected expression gradually disappeared, replaced by the shrewdness of the noble lady.
Navi Yas, who had been dead for nineteen years, was resurrected today!
Safuri's mind control magic is extremely powerful.
The three Domhnalls and the two sturdy maids who were staying at the door of the room still had not recovered.
They followed Safuri's instructions and went downstairs to get busy as usual.
There are no other outsiders on the fourth floor of the castle.
"You two, please come with me."
"If my hazy memory is correct, Kamo lives on the other side of the fourth floor."
After regaining her senses, Mrs. Navi took the initiative to guide Zong Shen and Safuli.
She has reached a consensus with the two of them.
Zong Shen will bring down Earl Akle for her and support Camo Niklos to ascend to power.
The city of Seakabang was handed over to Zong Shen, but she asked Zong Shen to spare Idi's life and let them live like ordinary people in the territory.
In this way, the pretender sent by Zong Shen does not need to worry about those family relationships.
As for the Niklos family, their core heritage is still in the trading city of Dasirho.
Then it's time to talk to Kamau himself.
The strategy module leaves some suspense in the character information of Camo Nicholls.
Just mentioning him would surprise Zong Shen.
Now is the time to reveal the mystery.
Follow Mrs. Navigation along the corridor to the other end.
The further you go, the more debris there is in the passage.
Discarded parchment rolls, broken crystal cups, scattered book pages, alchemy test tubes filled with unknown liquid...
This situation is not normal in the castle, especially when the maids are still employed.
This is a testament to the eccentricity of Camo Nicholls.
Speaking of which, Lady Navi and her son were both on the fourth floor of the castle, but were located at opposite ends of the corridor.
The mad lady and paranoia turn the entire floor into a forbidden area in the castle.
When they reached the end, they finally saw the door to the room.
The solid wood door reinforced with riveted steel plates was skewed, and a large amount of rotten and white residue of food and dried feces were accumulated at the door.
The air is filled with a complex and pungent stench.
Mrs. Neville paused at the door, about to reach out and knock on the crooked door.
Zong Shen had already pushed it away with brute force.
"Crunch..."
There was an obscure sound of opening the door, and the crooked door edge left eye-catching marks on the ground.
Looking at this posture, let alone leaving the castle, I am afraid that Camo Nicholls has not even stepped out of this door for a long time.
It took Zong Shen a lot of effort to push open the almost stuck door.
This kind of resistance can no longer be explained simply by the fact that the door panel is stuck.
Sure enough, after the door is fully opened, you can see a casing with a similar hydraulic structure behind it.
There are also mutually coupled afterburner gears.
The house was also in a mess, and the surrounding rooms had all been opened up.
Only one window was left to let in the sunlight from the outside, giving the house a little light.
The rest of the window sashes are all sealed tightly with nail boards.
The walls are covered with sticky paper, filled with design drawings and fancy formulas.
There is a huge mechanical workbench at the entrance, and on the other side, there is also an alchemy workbench with a crystal test tube rack.
Kamo was sitting on the mechanical workbench, polishing the steel parts in his hand with a badly worn plate file.
His hair was as messy as a giant fluffy bird's nest, and the length almost reached his waist.
The first time he saw this guy, Zong Shen couldn't help but think of the Super 3 form in the classic comic "Dragon Ball" in the days of Earth.
"You broke my door opener."
"To make it, I spent a full 729 hourglass hours."
"Now it seems that my invention failed. It should have been able to withstand the impact of thirty prairie bulls, but you pushed it away easily."
"I'm not wrong, I saw you push it away with one hand..."
"Either I'm crazy, or you're crazy, or disgusting Damn gave me low-quality steel, but the polished feel doesn't lie."
"Are you here to deliver food?"
"1927 hourglasses ago, the two lamb stick bones I requested have not been delivered yet."
"Do you know?"
"I need to make an interesting potion using sheep bone meal."
"oh!"
"My beloved alchemy, it is as mysterious as mechanical engineering!"
Carmo Nicholls kept moving his hands and talking to himself.
There is an hourglass timer on the table, which is the only way to keep time when he is in self-isolation.
For this guy who lives in his own world, time, laws, traditions, and even everything else in the world is no longer important. He can make his own rules.
The stimulation this guy received was also related to Mrs. Neville.
In fact, he became completely autistic not long after his mother was humiliated and went crazy.
First, he stayed in the castle's library all day long.
Later, he started tinkering with the workbench, and from time to time he produced some violent explosives, weird mechanical devices, and even released poisonous smoke 19 times in the castle, triggering explosions of varying sizes 27 times.
There was also an unlucky servant whose curiosity killed him and he mistakenly drank a bottle of pink potion he had concocted.
Then it turned into a vampire bat, howling and biting, and was hacked to death by the garrison.
As a teenager, Kamo rarely went out. The rare times he went out, he went to a bookstore or a workshop run by goblins in the city. He often returned to the castle holding a thick tome or strange tools.
Because he was still young when the incident occurred, his personality has already changed after so many years of paranoia, and his external expression of personality is also very different from ordinary people.
Kamo obviously no longer recognizes his mother.
His eyes were still alive, but they were not visible to the people who suddenly visited him.
Instead, focus on the tools and parts you have on hand.
"Kamo..."
"Don't you recognize me?"
Tears filled the eyes of Mrs. Neville who was originally calm.
She approached quickly, not caring about the garbage and filth scattered on the ground.
As she walked, many scattered metal parts collided together, making crisp sounds.
I saw Mrs. Navi hugging Kamo, his dirty long hair hanging down, and there were lice beating in it.
"Madam, you are interrupting my work."
Kamo pushed Mrs. Navig away in disgust and focused on the polishing work at hand.
"Child, I am your mother..."
Mrs. Navi could not help but emphasize.
But seeing that Kamo's expression remained unchanged, he twisted his neck and said coldly.
"I don't have a mother..."
This sentence once again broke Mrs. Navi's defense.
She seemed to have regained her strength and shed tears again.
Zong Shen did not disturb them.
He and Sally were using frost magic at the door to freeze the filth.
The environment here is really terrible.
It doesn't matter in a short period of time, but if you leave it for a long time, it may become marinated.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zong Shen walked into the house again.
Mrs. Navi was kneeling next to Kamo's workbench, her expression very stiff.
"Madam, please come out and let me talk to Kamo."
Zong Shen said loudly, but his tone did not allow for explanation.
In response, Mrs. Navigation could only stand up in a daze and left the workbench.
Safuli held her hand and handed the room over to Kamo and Zong Shen.
Zong Shen stepped over the debris on the ground very skillfully, pushed away the hourglass timer, sat down on the workbench, and looked at Kamo with interest.
"You like mechanical engineering and magic alchemy very much?"
He placed his hands casually on the workbench covered with iron filings and dust and asked in a relaxed tone.
This question made Kamo nodded, but he still did not stop the polishing work at hand.
"The conditions here are too crude."
"You lack materials and tools, and you don't have serious engineering masters to guide you."
Zong Shen looked around the room and commented seriously.
Kamo, who was sitting in his original position, finally raised his head and answered calmly.
"I don't care."
"As long as they make me happy."
"Here, I am the Creator."
"But you don't understand this feeling."
Facing Kamo's calm gaze, Zong Shen shook his head.
"No, no, no, you don't understand what the true Creator is."
"You've never seen the pinnacle of true mechanical engineering."
