Chapter 25 Jun Xiaolou

The antique "Jun Xiaolou" is located in the center of a garden with a profound artistic conception.

After passing through a small bridge and flowing water, I arrived at the main entrance of Junxiao Tower. There was no ordinary casino in front of the door, and the noisy atmosphere of the brocaded house. The guests who were entering and leaving were full of brocade robes and gorgeous clothes, and were full of energy. Those who didn't know the inside would mistakenly think that this was a teahouse and academy where literati and scholars gathered.

Aretha secretly admired in her heart that "Jun Xiaolou" is indeed known as the number one casino in the empire, and it is indeed unique.

Aretha, who was about to step in, was stopped by two men in the front door in the brocade clothes and jade belts, "You are wrong, the guards rest, the waiting teahouse is behind."

Aretha was stunned and realized that the two men were the guards of the casino, "Don't you open a casino and let the guests enter?"

"Aren't you the guard who came with whom you are here?"

"Do you think I look like me?" Aretha unconsciously embarrassed when she said that. The men who walked into Junxiao Tower before were dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was dressed in mercenary clothes now, which was obviously out of place with the environment here.

Unlike Arthur and Joan who were hunted by the church and the imperial family, Aretha did not deliberately disguise when she entered the city. She just tied up her long conspicuous blue hair and wrapped it in a blue square scarf.

Jun Xiaolou is a big shot who is either rich or noble in every day. After realizing the misunderstanding, the guards at the gate did not look down on Aretha's mercenary outfit. They just explained: "If it is the first time we come here, we need to register and verify our identity, and the value of entering the venue is 2,000 gold coins."

The guard said it very tactfully, meaning that he was not qualified to enter the Junxiao Tower if he could not take out two thousand gold coins.

The threshold of Junxiaolou is indeed high enough. Two thousand gold coins are almost a year's income for a viscount. But this number is nothing to Aretha. Any warrior must have a net worth of tens of thousands of gold coins.

Aretha took out two crystal cards and shook them in front of the guards, and then lit up her golden high-level mercenary medal, "Blue Virgin Mercenary, Aretha."

The two men's eyes instantly changed from plainness to respect, and immediately welcomed Aretha respectfully into the door. The high-level mercenaries are the top existences among mercenaries, which are a symbol of strength and experience. In the eyes of many warriors, they are worthy of respect than nobles.

When Aretha was calmly enjoying the other party's respectful gaze, she never thought that this was an industry under Yunxiao Trading Company.

On the first floor of Junxiao Building is an open hall, with antique furniture decorations in the hall, so you can drink tea and rest at will. When Aretha entered the door, a girl in pink came to greet her. Her eyes were stunned at first because few women came to Junxiao Building to play, and then she turned a smile, "This guest, do you want to play a few times or want to find a girl to accompany you, I'll take you there."

In this luxurious imperial capital, there are occasional rumors about women from wealthy and noble families looking for playmates to have sex with each other, not to mention Aretha's equipment for a male soldier.

But Aretha didn't realize the meaning and replied, "I'll play a few games."

"Then follow me upstairs. The second floor and the third floor are the casinos. Guests with less than 10,000 gold coins are on the second floor."

Aretha followed the girl who led the way to the second floor. After all, the winning or losing of tens of thousands of gold coins was something that only the small group of nobles and rich people at the top of the empire could afford.

The layout on the second floor is a huge open private room, each private room is a gambling game. The waiters who serve wine and tea shuttle between the private rooms, and all the wine and food here are free.

The girl in pink took Aretha to the second floor and left. Aretha exchanged two thousand gold coins and then turned around in the casino.

After a walk around, Aretha finally walked into the private room where she played "Continental King", which is also one of the gambling methods she likes to play.

"Continental King" is a card game with simple rules but very skillful skills. It has fifty-two cards, human race, beast race, elves and dwarves. Each tribe has thirteen cards from level one warrior to level one thirteen saints.

The gameplay can be two to ten players, each with five cards in comparison. The dealer first deals two trump cards to place blind bets. Players can choose to place bets, fold and raise bets from the third card. After five cards, the cards are displayed according to the size of the card. According to the card type, the same class is the same level, the same level as the same level, and the same class adds a pair. The same class does not make the same level, the same class does not make the same level, the same class is different, the three class, the two pairs, and so on. The smallest is the unsuccessful and unpaired miscellaneous cards.

Although the "Continental King" has a certain luck component, players mainly rely on fighting intelligence and psychology.

There were already five men playing before Aretha entered the private room. When she entered the game and sat down, several people looked at her with a slightly surprised look. There were not many women entering the casino, let alone a charming and beautiful woman like Aretha.

Aretha smiled sweetly, "Come on, don't let the water off just because I'm a woman."

The card game continued, with 10 gold coins blindly betting on each game. Except for the young man directly opposite Aretha, the others quickly turned their attention back to the card game. After all, coming here to play is a win or loss. If you want to find the girl Junxiao Tower on the fourth floor and the fifth floor of all races, there are all beauties of all races.

The person sitting opposite Aretha was a thin man in his thirties, with two sparse beards, and his unscrupulous eyes swept across Aretha's chest from time to time.

The thin man is fierce in gambling style, as if he is deliberately showing off. He raises bets in almost every game, and the game follows until the end of the game.

Aretha has seen such men in the casino, and she only pretended not to see thin men, and she only focused on the game.

Aretha was not very lucky today, with more losses than wins and less losses. She lost nearly a thousand gold coins in more than an hour. Moreover, the thin man on the opposite side was still deliberately targeting him. He would raise almost the cards he called until the end, causing Aretha to abandon several cards that were not too confident.

"I'm not lucky today, please continue." Aresa sighed and threw away the cards in her hand and got up to change to another table.

"Girl, don't leave. It's rare to meet such a beautiful girl playing cards with us. If the girl doesn't have enough chips, you can get it from me first." The thin man looked at Aretha as if provocatively.

"Okay, that girl will play with you again!" All the gamblers had a sense of not admitting defeat. The man's words finally angered Aretha. She sat back on her seat and took out three crystal cards and threw them to the dealer who dealt the card. "Help me get three thousand chips."

The gambling continued, but Aretha's fortunes still did not improve, and the thin man's targeting Aretha was even more obvious. The opponent raised the upper limit of one thousand gold coins after several consecutive cards.

Aretha was finally aroused by anger and played five or six times in a row with the other party. Today, the gambling luck was destined not to be with Aretha. She only won one game in a row. In the other games, either the thin man won or the other players who followed her. Aretha soon had only a few hundred gold coins left at the table. Facing this game where the opponent raised the top again, she had to discard the pretty good cards in her hand.

"Does the girl still have chips? If you don't have enough, just talk and get it from me." The thin man spoke proudly again.

Aretha took out five crystal cards again and sneered: "Take another five thousand chips, and play with you tonight!"
