章 231: Bet
Two days later, in the morning, outside the imperial capital, all the great nobles who went to participate in the autumn hunt set out their families to see off the children who participated in the autumn hunt. There were hundreds of high-class carriages, and all kinds of nobles, noble ladies, servants, and guards, adding up to tens of thousands of people, almost blocked the city gates.
On 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, and they were full of pearls, as if they wanted to suppress the sun's brilliance. While deliberately displaying their jewelry, they talked to each other about which family was the most eye-catching this year.
Unlike those women, the men beat together, and naturally the topic was inseparable from their respective mounts, after all, the continent still had cavalry as the highest combat main force. On the battlefield, a good batch of mounts often saves the life of the owner. Therefore, a good mount is extremely valued by the nobles, because in these years, the nobles almost all have to go to the battlefield to fight, and the things that save their lives are naturally the most important!
It is precisely because of this that mounts have become a very important part of aristocratic culture, and there are many good mounts in almost all families. And almost all the monsters on the continent that can be used as mounts have been scavenged by them.
On today's big day, of course, they will not miss this opportunity to show off, and they have accompanied the children who are about to travel far away with the good mounts they have scavenged. As a result, the entire city outside the city is like a zoo, full of all kinds of Warcraft mounts. There are the war wolves of the beast race, the shadow demon leopard of the elf race, and the level 2 wind system monster wildebeest unique to the human world, anyway. There are at least dozens of varieties, but most of them are two- or three-level Warcraft, and there are very few high-level ones. Because high-level Warcraft are already rare, and they have a big temper, they cannot be tamed at all without considerable strength, and now they are all young people, obviously they do not have the ability to tame high-level mounts.
And it is in such a situation. The appearance of two fourth-level demon beasts immediately alarmed everyone. Those were the two dwarfs' most famous mounts, pangolins, also known as iron-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 iron-armored lizard, which is almost slightly larger than a rhinoceros, charges en masse, it is simply like an iron wall, and its power is not generally perverted.
It's just that there aren't many of these mount dwarves. Elite knights are stretched thin, so they almost never sell out. Being able to get such a mount is obviously not only a manifestation of wealth, but more importantly, a deep relationship with the dwarves. And the two people who are now sitting on the ironclad lizard are the third prince Karapani and Pablo of the Augustan family.
Originally. Last time, when the dwarven master Piritz came to the Gryphon Kingdom to participate in the auction of the Thunder Knife, he brought a group of Dwarven Earth Elite Pangolin Knights. Pablo walked all the way with Piritz at that time, and he was envious of this iron-armored lizard. I always want to get two to be used as mounts, but the dwarf knights of the people take the mounts as ****, where will they easily give them away?
Therefore, he came up with an idea, and he did his best to entertain the dwarves. Make the dwarves feel that they owe their favors. The other half quietly put special drugs in the iron-armored lizard's meal, making the two iron-armored lizards strangely sick.
Since the dwarves do not understand pharmacy. Naturally, I didn't see anything unusual, I just thought that it was a long journey, plus there were some water and soil disobedience in changing places, so it would be like this. At this time, it was time for the dwarf to go back, and Pablo had already delayed a lot of time in order to see the old evil land, and he really couldn't delay any longer.
In this case, Pablo offered to let him take care of the two sick metro lizards and send them over when August's caravan went to the dwarven kingdom the following year. Of course, when he said this, he naturally showed his love for the iron-armored lizard, and anyone who saw it knew that he really liked it.
You know, the dwarves are very straight-tempered, and they are also quite generous to their friends, look at this. He simply decided to give the two sick ironclad lizards to Pablo, which can be regarded as repaying the favor of the Augustus family. So, two rare iron-armored lizards arrived in Pablo's hands. It just so happened that the third prince Karapani also liked it, and Pablo naturally gave one to him, in fact, the reason why he got two was already planning to give one to his third prince's cousin, of course, in order to please His Majesty the future emperor.
With these two iron-armored lizards, the third prince Karapani and Pablo suddenly became the focus of everyone, and the two people sat on the back of the iron-armored lizard, enjoying everyone's amazement and compliments, that was triumphant, and the heart was refreshing!
And at this time, among the people who saw them off, the **** of several big family masters also sounded the proud laughter of Frank, the patriarch of the Augustus family: "Haha, Pablo, this kid is very likable, especially Master Piritz of the dwarf race, he likes him even more, no, you see, even the iron-armored lizard gave him two!" "
"Ugh!" Everyone immediately cooperated with a burst of amazement.
Then, Frank triumphantly said to the fat man on the side: "I wonder what little Stephen will ride out this time?" I heard that he will command the wyvern, does he want to fly to Akigari by himself? "Obviously, he wants to compare the fat man in this matter.
The fat man actually didn't know what the old evil would ride, but he knew that the most important part of this kind of activity in autumn hunting was interaction, and if he rode a flying mount away from everyone, it would be better to go hunting by himself, and it would be meaningless. So he immediately sneered, "You don't have to worry, Lord Duke Frank, he obviously won't ride a wyvern!" "
"Oh?" Frank immediately said curiously: "Then what will he ride?" Wouldn't it be a pack of horses? With his size, I am afraid that ordinary horses will be crushed by him! Ha ha! "
Then he burst out laughing. Although others did not dare to laugh out loud in order not to anger the fat man, the smile on their faces could not be concealed from the fat man.
"Hmph!" The fat man immediately couldn't help but snort coldly: "Although the children of my family will not have any dwarf masters to send mounts, they will not ride horses." Maybe he'll surprise you? "
"Surprise me?" Frank immediately said amusedly: "If the wyvern is not counted, will he have a mount more powerful than the iron-armored lizard?" "
"Maybe!" The fat man said coldly.
"Oh, in that case, do you want to make a bet?" Frank said with a smile.
In aristocratic circles, you can gamble and lose, but you can't not gamble because you are afraid of losing, and the latter can only become a laughing stock for everyone's ridicule. Anyway, the Stephen family has a big business, and they don't care about that bet, so the fat man directly mocked: "Well, last time you generously took away so many bow-making materials that I didn't have, so I made a lot of money, and I was worried that I couldn't spend the money!" Say, how much are you going to bet? "
As soon as he heard the fat man deliberately mention the incident of the last time, Frank's face suddenly turned green with anger. You know, last time he was a big loss! Almost all of them vomited blood. Although the emperor gave him a chance to sell his inventory, those materials were collected at three times the price, that is, they were sold duty-free to the Bright Empire, at most at twice the price. Because the news of the appearance of the iron bow has been obtained by the people, and there are too many Frankish goods, the price of bow-making materials has begun to fall sharply. Anyway, this entry and exit, the Augustus family lost hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Such a heavy loss has left deep scars in Frank's heart, and it is hard to forget it after a few months, but it was revealed by the fat man in public, can he not be angry? So in anger, he directly roared: "100,000 gold coins, do you dare?" "
When the fat man heard it, he didn't faint, usually they often bet against each other, but it was a bet of thousands of gold coins, how could there be such a big one? This is clearly Frank feels sure and wants to knock the fat man hard?
If it is a few thousand gold coins, it doesn't matter if the fat man loses, but when he hears such a large amount, he is not an idiot, where will he agree? Therefore, he immediately wanted to shake his head and refuse, rather than lose face, and absolutely could not let Frank easily defraud his huge sum of 100,000 gold coins.
But at this moment, an old voice suddenly came: "I promised for him!" Then, a white-bearded old man suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone saw that it was the pillar of the Gryphon Kingdom, the Lightning Law Saint! It turned out that the old mage had something to enter the palace this morning, and when he went back after finishing his business, he happened to pass by here and heard the bet between Frank and the fat man. Since someone wants to send him 100,000 gold coins, can he say no? So right away he came out in person!
When everyone saw that it was him, they hurriedly gave him respectful gifts. The old mage smiled and waved at them, then smiled at Frank, "One hundred thousand gold coins, right?" This bet, my old man took on behalf of the Stephen family! "
