The Genius Mage
/ The Genius Mage Chapter 156 – The Mysterious Gambling Game
Audrey frowned. She did not know why, but she felt that there was nothing good about it.
Barbara was obviously hesitant, but she was quickly pulled over by Ross.
A moment later, Audrey saw a small empty space in front of her. There was a hint of impatience in her eyes.
What was going on?
The empty space in front of her was filled with people. They had formed a small circle. On the ground, there were a few small Demon Beasts with colorful flags tied to their bodies. Moreover, there was an obvious finish line.
It was obvious that this was not an ordinary experience. Instead, they were playing that type of game.
“Number three, hurry up and charge, number three.”
“Really, why is it like you haven't eaten anything? You just can't run.”
“Tsk, I lost again.”
Looking at the lively scene in front of her, Audrey pursed her lips. Ross, who was beside her, did not realize that something was wrong with her. Instead, he acted like they were good buddies and raised his hand to wrap it around their shoulders.
“I'm telling you, this is a place that I found with great difficulty. There's definitely something that you guys like to play with.” When Ross said this, her expression was filled with joy.
“And what's the most important thing? Do you know? The most important thing is that you only need to put in money for one meal, and you might be able to win back ten meals.”
“How is it? Isn't it very tempting? This ratio can be said to be ridiculously high.” Ross was in high spirits.
Audrey forced the corners of her mouth to curl up.
She had never thought that there would be such a thing in the Templar Knights.
This place could be considered a fun event for the Templar Knights. After all, the people here had been repressed for a long time, so they had to think of ways to find some fun for themselves.
Therefore, these small Demon Beasts, which could be seen everywhere and did not have much offensive power, became the target of the crowd to have fun.
They would tie up the Demon Beasts and tie colorful flags on their bodies to see which Demon Beast ran the fastest, or which Demon Beast fought the best, so they relied on this to earn money.
Of course, some people made money while others made losses. Students like them could not play with too much money. They just wanted to have a good time. The teachers all knew about this kind of thing because it was not serious. Naturally, they turned a blind eye to it.
Ross pulled Audrey forward.
“Look, I'm betting that the one with the red flag will win. In my opinion, it runs the fastest. It always gets in the top three,” Ross said as she took out a silver coin from her pocket and bet on it.
“I bet on red!”
The person in charge of the bets took the money with a smile and put it into the pile of silver coins that was as tall as a small hill.
Barbara was obviously not used to such a crowded environment. Her face was scrunched up in a frown. In the end, she could not bear it and squeezed through the crowd and walked outside to get some fresh air.
Ross looked at Barbara who had left and clicked her tongue.
“As expected of a rich lady. She couldn't even stand such an environment. You're the most reliable one. I'll take you out to play today.”
She raised her hand and patted Audrey's shoulder, looking very concerned.
Audrey forced a smile. She did not know how to tell Barbara that she had no interest in such things.
Suddenly, she noticed that there was a small-scale existence opposite this large-scale gambling game.
“Ross, what's the situation over there?” Audrey asked.
Ross only raised her eyes and casually glanced at the other side before explaining.
“There's no need to look over there. That group of people has nothing to do with us. They're seniors in higher grades. Moreover, the things they gamble on are different from ours. We're only gambling on silver coins, while they're gambling on potions.”
It was these words that caused Audrey to fall into deep thought as she looked at the group of people not far away.
Potions? She did not expect that such an expensive item would be placed on the table by them. After all, even if it was an extremely ordinary potion, the price was not something an ordinary family could afford, let alone the potion placed on their table.
Audrey had just glanced over and clearly saw the blue fairy placed on the table.
That was an extremely high-grade potion that was rare even in an auction house. Now, it had appeared in such a small place and was placed in the gambling den.
It had to be said that it was quite interesting.
“Audrey, why are you looking over there? Don't tell me you want to join them?” Ross looked at Audrey suspiciously and quickly interrupted her thoughts.
“Don't think about it anymore. Their prize pool isn't something we can participate in. Every one of them is an alchemist. They have many rare items in their hands, and they can't even be bought with money.”
“Are there many rare items?” Audrey's eyes lit up.
Ross nodded, after thinking for a moment, she said, “If I remember correctly, two days ago, someone took out a level-10 potion to gamble. I don't know if such an important reward has been taken away, but you should know how much money a level-10 potion requires to participate in a bet of the same level as it.”
Audrey lowered her eyes and curled her lips.
“Is that so? Then I'm not short of money.”
The bottle of potion that she had sold at the auction house had enriched her small treasury. Now, the only thing she lacked was medicinal herbs.
I wonder if this group of alchemists can give me what I need.
