Chapter 219 Harvey's Mistake
The next day, Harvey and Sawtooth Knife appeared in the tavern again.
Compared to yesterday, the gauze on Harvey's face has been taken off, leaving only a few bruises on his face, and he looks much better.
Today's dealer was also replaced by a lizard man instead of a drow elf.
This lizard man probably didn't know Harvey, so when he saw Harvey sit down, he just politely said welcome.
It was only a few minutes later that the lizardman dealer had to keep his eyes on Harvey.
The young wizard won seven times in a row, increasing his winnings from one gold coin to more than a hundred gold coins.
Every time he bought all the big ones, and the Lizardman even opened seven big ones.
Losing the hundred gold coins wouldn't be a big deal, the key is that other gamblers also took a fancy to Harvey's luck and followed him to bet.
He lost seven games in a row and lost thousands of gold coins.
This cold-blooded lizard man couldn't help but wipe his sweat. He was so panicked. He felt like he had met the God of Gamblers today.
Harvey had a blank expression on his face. He once again threw all the gold coins on "big". Others followed suit and placed bets. The total was nearly two thousand gold coins. If he lost again, he would suffer a huge loss today.
The lizard man felt a chill in his throat when he thought about losing thousands of gold coins. If the boss was unhappy, he would lose his life.
Thinking of this, the Lizard Man didn't dare to shake the sieve anymore. He looked at Harvey and said, "My friend, you should stop while you are ahead. Don't use up your luck when it comes, or you will suffer the consequences."
Harvey said arrogantly: "Why, you only allow others to lose money and not win money?"
The pupils of the lizardman dealer turned into a line. It was clear that he was going to get angry. Did this guy really think that someone who could open a casino in Ganlu City was easy to mess with?
"Well, since the guest said so, let's see how much you can win."
The lizardman dealer shook the sieve again, and the result was, as expected, another big one.
The gamblers gathered around the gambling table cheered loudly, wishing they could worship Harvey. This time, everyone made a fortune.
Harvey looked at the gold coins, his expression remained unchanged, and he put the gold coins he won back again.
Once again, choose "large".
No one hesitated, and everyone followed Harvey in betting with the gold coins they won.
The mountain of gold coins made the Lizardman dizzy. If this happened a few more times, the boss would go bankrupt.
The sieve cup was shaken for a long time, and the dice inside seemed to be shaken into pieces, but the lizardman dealer still didn't stop.
The gamblers were impatient and urged, "Open it quickly! What's wrong? Can't you afford to lose?!"
"Yeah, why not open it!"
"Hurry up, I'm waiting to win money to retire and buy a house!"
…
Under the urging of the crowd, the lizard dealer had to open the sieve again, even though he had confirmed again and again that he had shaken out "small", but just like the previous few times, after the sieve was opened, the point was always "big".
“Win!”
"Brother Mage, you are the God of Gamblers!"
“That’s amazing!”
…
Harvey quietly watched the lizardman dealer bring out a large box of gold coins and pay them out bit by bit to all the gamblers. His movements were very slow, as if he was counting them one by one, but in fact he was trying to delay time.
He really couldn't afford to lose any more. If he lost again, there wouldn't be enough gold coins to compensate.
Harvey counted his gold coins, which were enough for everyone in the "Sawtooth Knife" tribe to change their clothes.
However, Harvey did not take the money and leave. Instead, he bet all the gold coins on "big" again.
Everyone went crazy. The gold coins had piled up into a small mountain. Most people felt that they had earned enough. Regular gamblers understood that this amount of money was already the limit. If they lost more, they would have to notify the boss behind the scenes and transfer cash from other places.
If you do this, you will really offend the other party.
"Why, you've given up now, are you afraid of getting in trouble? You've lost a lot here before, right? Has the dealer ever worried that you'll cause him trouble? There's no such thing as gambling where you can only lose but not win, right? Follow me and make them bankrupt, that would be a good story, maybe you can become a hero in the bard's story."
Harvey's words made many people blush. Yes, there is no such thing as only losing and not winning. There are so many people here, are you still afraid that they won't pay? !
"I followed!"
"Damn it, let's fight him, and win will pay for it!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It only comes once in a lifetime!"
"Yes, let's go together with the dealer!"
The frenzied crowd smashed gold coins onto the gaming table, all shouting, “Big!”
"big!"
"big!"
"big!"
…
Without any surprise, the dice in the sieve were still big, and the lizardman dealer fainted on the spot. This time he was really finished.
"Sawtooth Knife" began to feel something was wrong. Harvey was playing cautiously yesterday, so why did he make such a big fuss today? Although she felt something was wrong, she couldn't take Harvey away in this situation. She could only walk to his side and say, "What if it gets out of hand? How can we get out of this?"
Harvey consoled her by saying, "It's better to make a big fuss. There are many people here and the dealer won't dare to default on his debt. If we make enough money this time, we won't come again next time."
Although "Sawtooth Knife" didn't quite believe what Harvey said, she had no other choice.
After the commotion, the unconscious lizardman dealer was carried away, and the news in the tavern had spread. The tavern was filled with people watching the fun, all waiting for the casino owner to show up.
Not long after, a pot-bellied human appeared in the tavern.
As soon as he entered the room, the man said to everyone, "Haha, thank you all for coming, but today our employee had a small accident and is feeling unwell. Today's bet ends here. How about paying all your gold coins in full?"
That's tens of thousands of gold coins, an unimaginable amount of money for the adventurers present.
The mission to defeat the legendary sand lizard only gives a few thousand gold coins, but now you can leave with a few thousand gold coins. Who wouldn't be happy?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just when everyone was about to agree, Harvey said, "Wait, I haven't had enough fun yet. Boss, you have more than one dealer, right? Let's change someone and continue."
The boss walked up to Harvey, stared at the young man for a while, and then said, "Mr. Mage, I am Olevi, the leader of the Seabuckthorn Mercenary Group in Ganlu City. You must have just arrived in Ganlu City. If you need anything, just let me know. We can be friends."
Olevi thought to himself that he had given enough face. As long as he could keep his reputation, the money lost in the casino would be earned back sooner or later. Although the loss of tens of thousands of gold coins was painful, it was still within an acceptable range.
Olev even had an idea. If he could bring Harvey, the gambling god, under his command, the other casinos would just have to wait for bankruptcy.
So, Olevi was very polite to Harvey, hoping that the young wizard would give him face.
However, Harvey looked like he was going to make a big deal out of it, saying without disguising, "It's not reasonable to stop playing in a casino if you lose money. Stop talking nonsense and start quickly. I won't stop until I win a million today."
As soon as these words were spoken, the others began to back off.
They figured out that Harvey was using them as a shield.
Harvey is not doing this to win money, he is clearly trying to compete with Olevi.
But Olevi was willing to pay tens of thousands of gold coins, which had already satisfied the other gamblers. Thinking of the other party's power in Ganlu City, there would be no good outcome if they continued to entangle.
Many people chose to give up, took the money and left the tavern. Olevi also looked unconcerned, and the group of ferocious mercenaries beside him did not stop them.
People tend to follow the crowd. Once someone leaves first, more people will naturally follow.
Soon, there were only a few people left in the pub. The original gamblers had all run away, and the rest were just people who came to watch the fun.
Harvey was left with only Sawtooth Blade, and the female orc was a little nervous. If they really started fighting, she wouldn't be able to defeat so many of them alone.
Although there were still a few brothers outside to support us, the number of people was still quite short.
Harvey then said to Sawtooth Knife in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I miscalculated. I thought those gamblers would make money with me."
But the serrated knife gnashed his teeth and said, "You did it on purpose!"
She also figured it out at this time. This guy was clearly trying to use Olevi's power to escape.
Harvey was exposed and no longer tried to hide his true identity. He stood up and walked to Olevi's side before saying to Sawtooth Knife, "I can't help it. I can't beat you. For the sake of our good memories last night, please let me go. You can also leave with these gold coins."
Harvey turned to Olevi, who looked puzzled, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Olevi, I borrowed your power to get out of this situation. I promise that I will earn back ten times the gold coins you lost today. And this one, please let her leave with the money she won, is that ok with you?"
Olevi had never thought that there would be such a reversal. It turned out that this guy was forced to gamble. He could be considered as a recruit. If the gambling god is used well, he can make more money than ten casinos.
"Okay, don't worry, I, Olevi, will protect you. But this orc... hmph, she dared to cause trouble here. If I let her leave so easily, how can I, Olevi, survive in Ganlu City in the future?"
Olev stared at the serrated knife, and his originally kind eyes gradually turned fierce.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Harvey said quickly: "Mr. Olevy, for my sake, let her go. She doesn't have to take the gold coins with her."
Although he escaped successfully, Harvey did not expect that things would get out of control. Olev had just promised to let the person take the money and leave, but he suddenly turned hostile.
However, Sawtooth Knife didn't respond at all. He pulled out a serrated scimitar from his waist and said to Olev, "Come on, don't waste time! Even if I die today, I will take you with me!"
This female orc was extremely ferocious. Before the mercenaries around Olevi could make a move, she rushed towards Olevi first.
The scimitar drew a bloody arc and chopped on Olevi's big belly, as if it wanted to rip him open.
Olev sneered and disappeared in front of Serrated Knife.
It turns out that the person who was chatting with everyone just now was just an illusion. Olevi is also a wizard, and of a very high rank.
Sawtooth Blade was surrounded by those mercenaries and soon got into a tough fight, with wounds all over his body.
Harvey frowned, he didn't want her to get hurt, but unfortunately he was too self-righteous.
Harvey sighed, he was far behind his teacher. While everyone was fighting, Harvey took out a round little thing from his pocket and quietly threw it on the ground.
A cloud of smoke appeared and instantly filled the tavern.
This is Harvey's last resort. I hope she can escape successfully.
