Section IX Strategies

The Prince Hotel is indeed worthy of its name. It looks extraordinary at first glance, and is definitely not comparable to those small roadside hotels. Mir City itself is a city full of nouveau riche temperament (it can be seen from his exterior wall), and this hotel is the best among nouveau riche, with gold powder painted on the doors.

Two polite waiters welcomed them into the door, and a servant was diligent in helping the guest carry his bag. The Nightmare Horse was also taken away by the horse boy. Nowadays, the Nightmare Horse is not only not eating, but it is difficult to distinguish it from ordinary horses, so Asu Rufate is not worried that it will be exposed in the short term. When entering the hall, Asu Rufate noticed the billboard.

The content on the billboard is very simple. It roughly means that for some reason, the road to Sivania is temporarily closed. Please understand by passing merchants. However, the signature of the announcement is very strange. The signature position says Beller and is stamped with the corresponding seal. Asu Ruffatt had never heard of this name on the way here. The new Governor of Mir City? Or the hereditary aristocrat in the nearby area?

"Who is this person?" Ashu Rufate pointed to the announcement and asked a waiter.

"Beral, Tiberius's general." Cosbody knew the specific situation. "Because there are vampires inciting rebellions in Sivania, Ryan and Tiberius united and asked him to take charge of the problem. But it seems that he has never heard of General Beeral leading any army... Anyway, these things have nothing to do with us."

"Who is he? Why was he sent to deal with the vampire?" Ashu Rufate seemed to care about this matter, which made Cosbody deeply surprised.

"Don't you know? General Berel is a person called the 'Vampire Slayer'! He was the supreme commander who led the coalition forces of various countries to capture Kalean and completely eliminate the vampire clan. Sending him to deal with vampires can be said to be the best use of his talents. In fact, his achievements are more than these... It seems that he has defeated Green Skin... and some... Anyway, he is known as the best general of Tiberius, and is also very famous among the countries."

The supreme commander of the coalition forces of various countries that captured Kalean? But what Asu Rufate heard was that all coalition forces were under the unified command of the Church of True God... But he could not ask further, because Cosbody was obviously no longer interested in this topic. If Asu Rufate continued to ask, it would likely arouse unnecessary suspicion.

"When will we do it?" As he walked to the door of his room, Ashu Rufat asked Cosbody.

"I need a day or two to prepare." Cosbody replied. "Ashu Rufate, as long as we cooperate properly, we will make up the money!"

"Mimilu." After walking into his room and locking the door, Ash Rufat asked Mimilu around him (because Mimilu had been wearing a collar and didn't speak, everyone only regarded him as a special pet of some kind). "Do you think this is reliable?"

"Mimilu thinks this person can still be believed." Mimilu tilted her head and thought for a while. "But Mimilu thinks that his eyes always flash, and this kind of person's thoughts usually become very fast. By the way, why is the master with him? Is the master without money?"

"Because Mimilu eats a lot, I'm almost running out of money." Ashu Rufat himself didn't know why he told this lie. Maybe he just wanted to tease Mimilu, maybe he just thought Mimilu was so fun to eat such a big bread fruit alone. But in fact, Mimilu's reaction was much stronger than he expected, because Mimilu was so aggrieved that he was almost crying.

"Mimilu can find something to eat by himself. Whether there are human places or no human places, whether in the city or in the wild, Mimiu can take care of himself!" Mimiu retorted excitedly.

"Oh, what's that bread today?"

"That...that..." Mimilu couldn't speak for a moment, and her tail shook. After all, even she had to admit that she couldn't steal a breadfruit. The thing was really too big. Carrying that thing was enough to completely ineffective her ability to change color and disappear. "Mimilu would just not eat breadfruit in the future..." Her voice became very low.

"Haha, OK, Mimilu, I'm just a joke. Actually, you didn't spend much money." Ashu Rufat touched Mimilu's head and said with a smile. "Just just a joke."

"Don't you dislike Mimilu?"

"No, I swear!" Ashu Rufate replied.

"Mimilu knew that the master would not dislike her." Mimilu immediately burst into tears and smiled, and then rubbed against Ash Rufate's body again.

"Take the time you have time these two days," Carrie reminded in her mind. "Make the time as much as possible and ask more about the vampire. It seems that he has alarmed the top leaders of both countries."

"Well." Ashu Rufate replied casually in his mind, and then he lay on the bed. His thoughts had floated back to the scene of stolen as he had seen before. Cosbody said that it was the execution of a dark wizard, that is, it had nothing to do with Ashu Rufate... but that feeling... it was like he was at the foot of the stolen platform a long time ago, watching the flames rise with anger but powerlessness.

Who was I in the past? In fact, when I was silent and empty, Ashu Rufate asked himself this question more than once, but after coming to this city, the question became even stronger. He could feel that this city had a deep relationship with his past self.

Two days later, two guests came in at the largest casino in Mill City, "Hope" Casino. It was morning, and the casino crowds were at its peak, and the two guests came in and did not attract any additional attention. Even if they were paying attention, it was the matter for the guests to exchange chips. They exchanged a certificate of deposit from the Chamber of Commerce for a car's chips.

In fact, from an objective point of view, it is really ironic to name a casino "Hope". For most people in the world, gambling has been a shortcut to bankruptcy since ancient times and cannot bring hope.

"Hope" The hosts and guests of the casino were originally those little citizens with some spare money, or those nobles who had no place to use money. However, due to road blockades during this period, a large number of merchants who planned to go to Sivania had to stay in this city and wait, so there were more merchants in the casino. This was obviously the case with these two guests. One of the first guests was wearing luxurious clothes and a generous and generous manner. He could tell at a glance that he was a businessman with a large wallet. The one beside him was dressed simply and had a long sword on his waist (usually, the casino prohibited guests from carrying weapons, but this kind of big customer who had changed into a whole car and had a chip in his hand), followed the former expressionlessly, and at a glance he knew that he was a businessman's bodyguard.

This big customer took a casual walk around the casino, lost a little money in several small games, and finally came to a big table. There are many types of gambling in the casino, some of which are gambling between the casino agent and the customer, and some are gambling between the customer. On this table, one-on-one gambling between the customer and the customer. The gambling method is also simple, which is to play cards.

Playing cards is one of the most popular entertainment in the world. Almost all businessmen like to play this because playing cards is indeed a good way to kill time during a long journey. And in the eyes of real gamblers, playing cards seems simple, but in fact it is indeed mysterious. It can be said that it is a game that experts and low-key players appreciate together.

When Ashu Rufate and the others arrived here, the audience was cheering at the table, and one guest was in the fortune, winning one after another.

"It's him, indeed." Cosbody said quietly to Ashu Rufate beside him.

"Sure?" Ashu Rufat looked at the man. He was a man in his thirties and had an ordinary appearance, with red hair. His face turned red because of excitement and excitement, just like drinking too much.

"That person is nicknamed 'Crow', and he is the casino's 'sentence'! To put it bluntly, he is a guy who cheats with the cooperation of the casino staff, who specializes in cheating those unknown people from other places." Cosbody replied.

"How do you know?" Ashu Rufat asked whispered.

"Of course I know, I've been watching here for half a month." Cosbody pointed to his eyes. "In our industry, eyesight is the most important thing. Have you seen his dressing?"

The winner's clothes were gorgeous, with exquisite texture and fine workmanship. You can tell at a glance that they were either rich or noble. But to be honest, Ashu Rufate couldn't see anything special besides that.

"If you come to the casino alone, you will definitely not dress up especially. This is not a dance party. So the people who come to the casino wear daily clothes. When you see his clothes, it's okay to wear them at home, but they are definitely not a clothing for traveling."

Indeed, even a wealthy nobleman and a big businessman cannot take a car to change clothes when going out. As for wind, frost, rain and snow, it is inevitable. Therefore, while traveling, the clothes must be exquisite and gorgeous, they must also strive for durability, which is the so-called "hunting outfit". This dress is really not.

"It would be fine if he was a local, but he pretended to be an outsider and deliberately added an accent when he spoke." Cosbody continued. "Also, did you notice the cuffs of that dress? It should be that the cuffs were off-line, so it was a little sewn, so the color of the thread and the color of the fabric were not very good. If he was really a nobleman, although the clothes were removed from the needle, he would at least find a regular tailor to make up for it, right? This obviously self-taught sewing is too conspicuous. It means that his clothes are inconsistent with his own status... Why do you pretend to be a superior person when you come to the casino? There must be a fraud!"

Asu Ruffat must admit that Cosbody is a man with great observation and analysis makes sense.

"He has many flaws... but that's the best!" Cosbody said. "Our first goal is him!"

"How did he cheat?" Ashu Rufat asked whispered.

"Gesturing." Cosbody replied simply. "The specific candidate who has a casino arrangement stands behind his opponent and informs him with gestures."

Having said that, the crow really won a lot. In front of him, there was also a small casino car full of chips, not less than Cosbody's side.

At this time, the final battle was decided. The cheater won again and swept all the chips on the table into his car.
