Gold is Justice

When Cream was enjoying the praise of the crowd nearby, Airl stepped forward and spoke.

Cream was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw that the excitement on his face did not abate at all after seeing that it was the president of his own family, and quickly said: "President! You came just in time! Did you see my match just now? That's true!" It was a wonderful round! I almost gave up at the last moment, but luckily I got the soldier card I needed most at this time! Hahaha! I won! President, I won!"

Airl looked at the formation on the card table. As the attacking side, Cream did suffer heavy losses.

The chairman smiled and said, "It seems that your poker skills are not bad? Are you enjoying yourself? Then where do you get your winning bonus? Will there be an award ceremony later?"

Cream smiled slightly, put on a very smug expression, and said with a smile: "It's not over yet! The number of applicants for this national war card competition is very large, so the preliminaries are divided into three days. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I will There are still several matches to be played, and if we win all of them, we will be able to enter the final day of the decisive battle! I just won one day today."

Ai Luo snorted, anyway, he is not very interested in the game rules of Guozhan Cards.Anyway, as long as this assassin competes in Hanhai City and doesn't cause any trouble, that's fine.

But, at this moment...

"Isn't this our champion today? Mr. Cream, congratulations on your victory today!"

Arrow turned his head and saw a man in his 30s standing there with a soft cap on his head, a red and black satin velvet shawl on his body, and a pair of shiny cowhide boots under his feet. Waving and smiling at Cream.

Cream also showed a smile when he saw this person, waved to him, and at the same time said to Airl next to him: "President, this is a poker player I just met today, his name is Quint Hearthstone. He just arrived today. There are many things I don't understand when I'm here, thanks to the help of Mr. Hearthstone. Ah, Quint! This is the leader of our guild, Arlo Garcia."

The man came over, looked up and down the short president in front of him, then smiled slightly, and performed a very solemn etiquette to Ai Luo, and said with a smile: "So you are the president of Mermaid Song! , It's a little bit different from what I imagined."

Airl laughed and said, "What do you imagine? What do you imagine me like?"

Hearthstone nodded, and said with a smile: "I thought he would be a very old man, even older than me. But I didn't expect to be such a handsome young man! It's really a fearsome young man. "

Although I know that the other party is flattering, but in business, it is also necessary to flatter each other.So Arrow happily accepted such flattery, and also boasted in turn: "Mr. Hearthstone's face is flushed now, so he must have successfully advanced?"

A hahaha smile appeared on Quint Hearthstone's face again, he nodded lightly, and said, "My match was arranged in the previous match, and I'm really honored to win! Cream, I hope we don't directly It's better to fight. Your strength is stronger than I imagined!"

Cream was not too polite, and put his hands on his hips, and said with a smile: "Everyone! Mr. Quint's victories in these few games are so clean and neat, and people like me who took a long time to win can't compare !"

Kunt nodded and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Mr. Cream's words are really interesting. Well... it's getting late now, how about we go have a meal together? You Song of the Mermaid is going to participate in this event It’s the guild championship match? Why don’t you just come and eat together? It’s my treat!”

Ai Luo rolled his eyes slightly, and then smiled: "Why is this so embarrassing? We have a lot of people in the guild, and it really cost you." Quint was very relaxed, and continued: "Where is it! Can we know each other? It’s my good fortune to be in such an excellent guild like yours! And it’s not expensive, don’t look at other things, I still have a little bit of money, so it’s still possible to treat everyone to a meal.”

Since the person in front of him is so polite, Airl can only be disrespectful.He nodded lightly: "If that's the case, then there is Mr. Lao Hearthstone."

Quint quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hey! Don't be so polite! Call me Quint! Anyone who likes to play cards can call me Quint, and they are all my good friends!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Quint led everyone downstairs and out of the hotel.After walking a few steps forward along the increasingly dark road and the slightly crowded crowd, they came to a commercial street and entered a restaurant that looked more elegantly decorated, and everyone sat down.

"Cream, go back and see if everyone is back. If they are back, let them come over for dinner. If not, leave a message for Boss Ironbeard and ask him to notify everyone to come back."

Before being seated, Arrow cheerfully asked Cream to call for someone.Naturally, the assassin didn't think too much, and quickly ran out of the restaurant's door after answering, and ran towards the White Whale Hotel.

Compared with the dim lights on the street outside, the interior of this restaurant is obviously much brighter.

The light blue decoration gives people a cool feeling, and the exquisite murals and just-right screens can make people enjoy the privacy of a small single room.A small lantern sits on a white tablecloth, emitting a warm glow.The delicately placed imitation silver knives and forks reflect a luxurious atmosphere as much as possible.

There were quite a few diners in the restaurant, but everyone tried to keep their voices down and whispered.After a while, a small band started to set up in the corner of the restaurant, and the melodious sound of the lute made everyone's voices become softer and softer.

Ke Ke obviously doesn't have much experience in such restaurants. Even if she went to dine in Viscount Rich's castle before, the viscount's carefree voice made this little girl feel the sophistication of nobility.But now, the exquisite decoration around the melodious music box made the little girl look a little cautious, she lowered her head and dared not speak.

But in comparison, Arrow seemed much more free and relaxed.He arranged the napkin in front of him and put it on his lap, with a smile on his face.

Quint also smiled, and he took off the hat and shawl on his head and handed them to the waiter next to him.But when he was about to order, he accidentally glanced at Airl, but showed a puzzled expression.

Another waiter was standing beside Airl, bent over, as if waiting.It could be seen that he looked a little embarrassed.

And Ai Luo was looking at the menu, and after a while, he realized the waiter next to him, then smiled and said, "No, thank you."

The waiter then nodded slightly, turned and left.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Quint couldn't say anything, but Ke Ke seemed talkative: "Brother President, don't you take off your hat? I see... everyone takes off their hats..."

Airl smiled, then gave his necromancer a hard look.Afterwards, he looked helplessly at Quint in front of him, and smiled shyly and awkwardly: "That...I'm really sorry. It's not that I'm not polite, it's just...too busy with the guild's affairs, So my hair...is a little off in volume. Hope you don't mind."

The question in Quint's heart was finally answered. He laughed and said, "Well, we men will have some problems in this regard more or less. President Arrow, I know a good potion shop, which has Some potions like hair growth, how about I introduce them to you?"

Airl closed the menu in his hands, his face was full of gratitude, and he nodded repeatedly.

After ordering, while waiting for the food to be served, the two of them just exchanged pleasantries and chatted with each other.Especially for today's game, Arrow showed a very interested look, and Quint also seemed very excited, trying his best to describe many exciting places of today's game with elaboration.

Hearing the exciting part, Airl couldn't help showing a nervous expression, and nodded again and again.

"That's it, I managed to win this match with great difficulty. Huh, you don't know, the one I played against in this game is the seventh-ranked player in the Hanhai City area of ​​our country! It was really hard for me too!" Just won it!"

Arrow nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It sounds really difficult. However, being able to win this step proves that Mr. Quint himself has good strength."

Quint laughed, waved his hands modestly, and said, "No, it's just that I watch it a lot! It's just a little bit more attention."

Airl was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that Mr. Quint spends a lot of time practicing on weekdays!"

"No, that's not what I said. In fact, if I really want to say it... it should be regarded as my professional relationship."

As he said that, the man raised his shoulders a little, and said with a casual smile: "I actually run a workshop, and this workshop... on weekdays, I often accept some workshops that make national war card lists. "

The author has something to say: All fine novels are serialized here: LANWENS.COM

Having said that, the waiter has already started putting trays of bread on the table.These steaming buns are fragrant with a small saucer of butter next to them.

Ke Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if she wanted to take it, but she didn't dare.Ai Luo smiled, picked up a piece of bread and put it on the plate in front of her, and then continued: "So you are the boss who produces the national war cards! That's really disrespectful! In this way, the national war cards You sponsored the battle?"

Quint quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, of course not all because of my strong sponsorship. If I really want to say, my sponsorship is only a little bit."

When Coco on the side tore apart the bread, spread butter on it, and bit it down with a delicious look, Ai Luo was a little puzzled, and said with a smile: "If you really want to say...you are still one of the sponsors? Are you like this?" Sponsors coming to participate in such a competition...wouldn't it be a bit unfair? Or...is there any secret operation?"

The owner of the workshop raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said: "You misunderstood me on this point, President Airl. If I really want to operate in the dark, I can choose someone to bet on, and then go to buy all the money. Players, choose the final winner. But in fact, the benefits of doing so are too small."

Ai Luo tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's true, I heard that the final champion will only be rewarded with 30 gold coins."

The dissatisfaction on Quint's face finally subsided, and he continued: "That is to say, it's not just the amount of money for venue layout, on-site order arrangement, and hiring hosts. I'm totally There is no need to conduct so-called black box operations. The reason why I participated in this competition..."

Speaking of this, Quint suddenly looked around like this, and then with a mysterious look, he leaned over and whispered: "I just... like the national war cards. And I want to test how good I am. ! To tell you the truth, I think many of those national battle cards are made in my workshop, so my strength shouldn’t be bad, right? You’re right, President Airol.”

After saying this, the boss withdrew his head and said nervously: "President Ai Luo, don't tell others what I just said. If other participants in the competition find out If you don’t, you’ll think that I really want to operate in the dark!”

Arrow smiled and nodded slightly.

It was also at this time that Cream had reappeared at their table.While taking off his coat and handing it to the waiter, he asked, "President, what are you talking about? What kind of secret operation?"

The smile on Ai Luo's face was still maintained, and he shook his head lightly: "It's nothing. Huh? Where are the others?"

As soon as this point was mentioned, the expression on Cream's face immediately became a little ugly.He sighed helplessly, and said, "Oh, don't mention it! Brad, Buffy, and Cheese don't seem to be back yet, so I won't talk about it. I don't know what happened to Suta. She kept shutting herself in the room and refused to come out. Margo didn’t listen to me saying that she wanted to come to dinner, so she let me come here first, and she wanted to continue talking to Suta. Well, I guess they must meet today Something unpleasant happened."

Ai Luo thought about Margot and Suta's arrangement today...is it to go to the Holy See for help?Alas, from this point of view, the problems of members of their own guild are really not ordinary.

"Since they don't come, forget it, you can sit down and eat."

Airl went over the situation of his family members in his mind for a moment, comforted Cream, and told him to sit down.

The assassin went around and sat down next to Coco. When imitating Airl and spreading the napkin on his lap, he suddenly lowered his head and asked softly in Coco's ear: "What did you say just now? What's interesting?" something?"

Ke Ke glared at him, and said with a snort, "Brother President is bald—we were talking about this topic just now."

"Ah... ah?"

Cream seemed to want to ask, but after a moment of hesitation, he finally closed his mouth.

At this moment, the waiter finally started serving appetizers. Quint picked up the knife and fork in his hand and said in a slightly worried tone, "What's wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Airl let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "The members of our guild do have some troubles...but these problems are our guild's own problems."

"Look at what you said! President Arrow, you are a little out of touch."

Compared to Cream, who had been fighting with him all day, the workshop owner now fixed his eyes on Airl's face, and even said with a little courteousness——

"I see that we chatted so speculatively and happily today. I have long regarded President Ai Luo as my friend! Besides, it is the first time for President Ai Luo to come to Hanhai City, right? In comparison, what can I say? I can be regarded as an old resident in Hanhai City, and I have a little network in various places in the city, so if there is anything I can help, please don't be polite! I can definitely help if I can help!"

Obviously, Cream doesn't seem to understand why this "one-day comrade-in-arms" is so polite and familiar with his own president now!I'm a little surprised now.

On the other hand, Airl smiled familiarly, and said, "This... look at what you said, how embarrassing it is?" Quint: "Hey! Why is there any embarrassment? Please feel free to speak boldly! It doesn't matter just talking about it? If I can't do it, I can also think about who can help you, can I introduce you to a door?"

Airl nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "The specific situation... Mr. Quint, you should have heard it just now, and I don't know exactly what happened to our members. So I need to go back and ask It may be possible to give an answer later. So, I can't say what you can help with now. So... let's talk about it tomorrow."

Now that this is all said and done, the owner of the workshop can't say anything more.However, he also heard the "gap" in Airl's words, so there was not much disappointment on his face, he smiled slightly, and raised the red wine glass in front of him.

Airl didn't refuse. He raised the glass of lemonade in front of him and touched the workshop owner, which was considered to be a kind of agreement.

Next, it's time for an exquisite dinner.

After the main course was served, the two parties stopped talking about any guild or workshop topics. The content of the chat was all focused on various routines and battle ideas related to national war cards.

At this point, Cream's interest was directly mobilized, and he began to chat with the workshop owner.For a moment, his eyebrows were beaming, it seemed that he had memorized all the content related to the national war card in the world. If he didn't know it, he thought the assassin in front of him was a certain national war card master!

It took almost three hours to eat a meal, and we talked until it was completely dark outside, and even the pedestrians on the street gradually began to decrease, and the dinner was considered over.

Leaving the restaurant, Airl thanked the workshop owner again, and then left.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Cream, what do you think of this Gwent Hearthstone?"

On the way back to the hotel, Airl asked while walking with his hands behind his back.

On the street, the lighting of an oil lamp is only ten meters away, making the city here at nine o'clock in the evening look very gloomy, and there are almost no pedestrians.

Walking on such a street, Cream's steps seemed to be a little more cautious.He pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "President, do you want to say something?"

Airl smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask your opinion on this person."

Cream folded his arms, thought for a moment, and said, "Well... this man looks very honest. However, he must be a little pretentious. His hat and coat are clean, and They are all made of high-quality silk. However, his inner garment is not so clean, and even a little rough. On the contrary, he seems to want to show the appearance of an ordinary person in his gestures, but never Judging from his nails and the way he walks, it is obvious that he is not a person who works frequently. President, even if you want to settle accounts and write, you will trim your nails. But his appearance is obviously not even accounted for. .”

Airl nodded, and said, "In terms of observing people, you are still many times better than me. Is there anything else?"

"Anything else?" Cream frowned, and said after thinking hard for a moment, "Is there anything else... um... maybe this person is rather abrupt. He would suddenly come over to chat with me in today's game, and it's almost... ...If he is a naturally enthusiastic person... I haven't seen him greet other contestants. It's like... specially targeting me... this... this..."

As he talked, it seemed that even the assassin himself noticed that something was wrong.He suddenly shivered all over, turned his head nervously to look at Ai Luo beside him, and said twitchingly at the corner of his mouth——

"President! Could it be...could it be that this guy...doesn't... care about me at all? Instead, he wants to rely on me to make a connection...to catch you? To catch...the song of the mermaid?!"

Obviously, after reaching this conclusion, Cream's face twitched, completely showing the pained expression of losing a confidant and poker friend.

Coco, on the other hand, looked like he was gloating every day, and said, "I don't know until now? You stupid assassin, you don't even know you've been used by others. Fortunately, you are still the number one intelligence officer of our guild."

"Smelly girl, let your mouth stink."

Cream lightly patted the necromancer on the head, and Ke Ke immediately raised her head while covering her own head, humming dissatisfiedly: "Don't hit me on the head! If you hit me on the head, you will make me stupid !"

Cream didn't care about this little girl, now he looked at Airo very nervously, and said with a worried face: "President...President! I'm going to ask a question right now! That...I...I...I got an award today. Winning... being able to squeeze into tomorrow's candidate competition... is my own ability?"

Airl shrugged and said, "I don't know about that. Seeing how fiercely you fight... it should be your own strength."
