Chapter 179: Flirting, Hawkeye goes to the appointment
Inside the "Fortune" casino, there was a buzz of people.
The God of Gamblers Gao Jin... Well, the God of Gamblers is here to win the game of Sic Bo, blackjack, roulette and other games in a row, killing all the heroes in the casino and abandoning their armor.
The beautiful dealer who dealt cards online had cold sweat on her forehead, and the banker's face turned pale, as if his parents had died.
It looked like a bloody case.
Upstairs, in the VIP room, Khalifa, Wen Xi, X. Drake and Mr. 3 Gal Dino watched this scene.
3. A silver light flashed on the lenses of Gogar Dino’s glasses and he said:
"I feel like if he keeps winning like this, something will happen."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Once the banker's psychological endurance is exceeded, he will be banned from the game, even if it does damage the reputation of the casino." Wen Xi said indifferently.
It is unlikely that the casino owner is committing evil, at least not in the casino. The kingdom's laws and supervision system are not just for show.
X. Drake crossed his arms and said calmly:
"If he is really some hidden top powerhouse and uses his brain crookedly, the only one who will be unlucky is the banker."
Having said that, he simply didn't believe that the blind uncle below was a top man with strength comparable to that of a naval admiral.
Any blind man can be as good as a naval admiral. When did an admiral become so worthless?
Drake: This guy is as good as an average lieutenant general, no more.
"Don't make any noise." Kalifa said in a cold tone.
Her blond hair was loose and she was wearing a black formal dress, which highlighted her tall and graceful figure. She wore black stockings and gray high heels on her long and fair legs, which made her look particularly sexy and cool.
At this moment, her pretty face was expressionless, and her green eyes were casually looking at the blind uncle below who was possessed by the God of Gamblers.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she observed, she couldn't find anything unusual.
There is no cheating, it seems that he is a superb gambler.
It can be seen that this person has good hearing or knowledge, but there are many people who master domineering in the new world, so it is not particularly rare.
Kalifa frowned slightly and said: "I can't see clearly... If he is really the person the captain is looking for, how can we recruit him?"
Wen Xi said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? It's a piece of cake."
Recruiting talents is not easy, let alone a man.
This blind uncle is not a serious person at first glance. If he is so addicted to gambling, he is probably not too generous in eating, drinking, whoring, smoking, etc. He is all five poisons...
I don't know what he thought of, but a sly smile appeared on Wen Xi's face and he said: "I have a bold idea about this."
X. Drake shrugged and said: "About your bold idea, brother, I have a little immature suggestion."
Mr.3 stretched out his hand to push up his glasses frame and said: "As for your immature suggestion, the kingdom has a complete set of criminal laws."
Then, the three grown men looked at each other, and then, as if they had caught some secret signal, they raised their heads and laughed together.
Friendship between men is sometimes so simple and pure.
Kalifa: "..."
(???), what are you talking about?
It can be seen that this female secretary is still a bit naive. If Stuxy, the Queen of Happy Street, was here, she would probably have kicked her.
Under the influence of Wen Xi, the leading brother, 3rd Brother and
Among them, Brother 3 loves fine wine (a hobby of collecting), X. Drake loves to sing (actually he doesn’t like it, just to fit in with the circle), Wen Xi does not take drugs, but is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling...
Below, Uncle Yisheng has won 11 consecutive games on the wheel, and the casino owner finally couldn't withstand the pressure.
He put his lifelong uncle on the casino's blacklist in public and announced that he would be banned.
From now on, apart from betting on predictions of the direction of hot events at sea, you will not be able to engage in any other form of gambling here.
"Tch, Boss Simon, you are no longer interesting."
"It's just that you can't afford to lose if you block someone so quickly?"
Some old gamblers who were more of a loser and had made a lot of money by following the trend were a little unhappy and started yelling and sarcastic.
Casino Boss Simon has brown hair, a long and hideous scar on his forehead that extends to his cheek, and a fierce look on his face. He looks like a ruthless character.
With a dark face, he glared at the uncle and the booing gamblers fiercely, and said harshly:
"If you are unhappy, you can go to the legal department of the city hall to complain!"
After saying that, he angrily walked away.
The gamblers could only complain unhappily and began to disperse.
The lifelong uncle who had been banned from the casino rubbed his nose in embarrassment, knowing that he had gone too far today. He would not be so public in normal times, but he had been suppressing it for a few days recently and forgot to pay attention to propriety.
"Can I still complain about this?" he asked curiously.
The old gamblers still respect this blind god of gambling, and someone replied: "Yes, although His Majesty the King does not like the gambling industry, as long as it is a standardized commercial activity, it is protected by the laws of the kingdom.
But don’t have any expectations. Casinos are also businesses, and they have the right to choose to cooperate or not. Blacklisting you does not violate any laws, just like a store."
"That's it." Uncle Yisheng smiled politely.
He didn't actually want to ask this, but the answer still made him find it quite interesting.
This is a characteristic of the Lionheart United Kingdom. Residents seem to have become accustomed to going to the city hall for consultation if they have any problems or troubles, instead of being patient, or there is simply no solution.
People here especially like to talk about laws, contracts, regulations...
This habit was gradually developed over the past few months.
What makes Yisheng curious is that the swordsman Lane is mysterious and often disappears. He doesn't have much time to deal with government affairs and meet with ministers. So how does he ensure that this set of laws is promoted and implemented in an orderly manner?
It shouldn't be so efficient just to recruit staff and related professionals.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With a lot of doubts in his heart, Uncle Yisheng strolled out of the casino door, but he was stopped by Wen Xi and Kalifa after only taking a few steps.
He held the staff and knife and said in a somewhat puzzled tone: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
If the boss of the casino is looking for trouble because he makes too much money, he should not feel a trace of hostility or malice.
"Sir, His Majesty the King would like to meet with you. If it is convenient, please come with me." Kalifa said politely.
After saying that, she led the way with high heels and a faster pace. Although the other party seemed invisible, she was sure that he could keep up accurately and would not refuse the invitation.
"King?" Uncle Yi's face changed slightly, as if he was quite surprised.
Hongye Island, His Majesty the King can only be the famous bloodthirsty swordsman.
Why did the other party notice him? Do you see him or not? What do you want to talk about when you invite him?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and after hesitating for a moment, he picked up his staff and knife and followed the woman in front of him.
Although meeting the Demon King would be a bit troublesome and risky, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity. He did have many questions in his mind to ask the young man.
…………
At night, at half past ten, a bright crescent moon hung outside the window.
In the center of the commercial street, the private room of Hongye Hotel is brightly lit.
The round dining table was covered with a clean tablecloth. The uncle was sitting on the side by the window, with a large bowl of steaming hot mushroom beef noodles in front of him.
Although this five-star commercial hotel in the city center offers a variety of delicacies, he seems to have a special liking for ramen, or he advocates frugality in life and only ordered a bowl of ramen.
Ren was wearing a small blue suit and sat across from Yisheng. On the table was a medium-rare steak, with mushrooms, potatoes, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and other fresh vegetables as side dishes for the steak.
"Your Majesty the King..."
"No need to be polite, just call Ren."
"Okay, Mr. Ren, how did you notice me?" Uncle Yisheng picked up a string of noodles with chopsticks and asked in a curious tone.
He thought to himself that he was very low-key. He had been on Hongye Island for more than a week and had not fought with anyone. Naturally, he had not demonstrated his abilities.
"It's a secret."
Ren sliced the steak leisurely with his dining knife and said, "I won't explain this. Anyway, I know that there is a person like you, and I know your fighting power and abilities fairly well."
"All right."
When the uncle heard this perfunctory answer, he was a little speechless.
I just know it, but I don’t explain it. This kind of answer will probably stifle the curious person to death.
He realized that the other party was probably someone who didn't like beating around the bush and being polite, so he asked straight to the point:
"Are you trying to recruit me?"
"Of course, top experts like you are rare at sea." Renn nodded.
"That's ridiculous."
Yisheng suddenly opened his eyes, revealing the whites of his eyes. The white eyes that had lost sight looked scary. At this moment, his aura completely changed, from being ordinary to being as unpredictable and majestic as a dangerous peak.
But Ren was indifferent, just looking forward to the breeze blowing on his face.
clang!
It's not surprising in his life. He picked up the staff knife next to him and flicked the blade. The purple gravity wave light instantly spread and enveloped the entire private room. Circles of powerful gravity waves were superimposed on Ren's body surface, imprisoning and oppressing his body.
Body!
Ren's expression remained unchanged, he casually picked up a piece of tender and delicious beef with a knife and fork, put it into his mouth and chewed it.
Buzz!
Yisheng frowned when he saw this. The gravitational purple light released by the staff knife became more and more intense. Two, four, eight, sixteen... dozens of times of terrifying gravity waves squeezed in both directions, layer upon layer, tightly trapping Ren like shackles.
body.
This is already a very large pressure, and the gravity wave is still squeezing in both directions, and even an iron sword will bend.
But Renn still looked calm and calm, not even using his weaponry.
Until he noticed cracks starting to appear on the tables and chairs, his eyebrows jumped, and he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
At the fingertips, a circle of nearly transparent shock wave light mixed with a bit of dark red lightning spread instantly, disrupting the purple gravity wave that enveloped the entire private room and causing it to collapse!
Opposite him, his expression remained unchanged throughout his life, and his body swayed slightly.
He put down his staff and knife, then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the ramen, and exclaimed:
"I have never seen anyone as powerful as you before, and I didn't even think humans could reach such heights...Have you had another breakthrough recently?"
Just now, through subtle control, he increased the gravity wave attached to Ren's body to almost the maximum value in a small area.
But the other party didn't change his attitude, and easily broke through his carefully arranged gravity net with a snap of his fingers.
If there is a real fight, he will be in danger, and there will be no chance of survival.
And he felt that the other party was much stronger than during the top war.
He couldn't see it, but he could understand the process. Ren's strength at this moment was obviously stronger than what he showed on the battlefield a few months ago. Kizaru + Momo Hato would never be able to stop this monster.
Unless Taotu is stronger than the world thinks, he will not be inferior to the three generals of the navy...
"Your Excellency, you are very complimentary. I have made a little progress recently." Renn said modestly.
His strength has been steadily improving.
When he first came to the OP world, he was normally at level 22, and he had just reached this level, so it was a little difficult to take down Kizaru despite the reservations in the Shampoo Islands.
At that time, the soldier master's form was close to level 24, less than.
Currently, his normal level is level 23, and his main form is stable at level 25.
It's not his fault, now he can beat the yellow monkey and call him daddy without switching forms. Put on the blood armor, it's no problem to deal with Kizaru and Akainu teaming up. In the soldier master form, he can knock down two generals without overturning...
…
He is so awesome, if he were any more awesome, he would have no friends at all.
(Artoria:(?□-□))
‘Has there been progress in the recent past?’
The old man's face twitched.
What else could he say? He quickly took a few mouthfuls of ramen to calm down his shock.
After a moment of silence, he thought about business, which was why he was curious and willing to see Ren, and asked:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Can you talk about or summarize your philosophy of governing the country, your understanding of justice, benevolence, country and people, order and chaos?"
This is a very broad question and also difficult to answer.
If we really wanted to talk about it in detail, we might not be able to finish it for days or nights.
Ren knew in his heart that this was a test. A middle-aged man with rich experience and his own values would never be moved by a few nice words or superficial actions.
It can even be said that it is difficult to convince or brainwash a person with such a strong will and a set of mature values.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Your question is too broad. I can only answer you from the perspective of the Dharma."
"Law?"
"Yes, it's laws, laws, and regulations. When the Lionheart United Kingdom was first established, it recruited talents with legal and administrative experience from the territories under its rule to form a huge Ministry of Justice.
It took a month to formulate and promulgate the laws of the kingdom, covering all aspects and promoting them... I won’t go into details..."
Mumbling to myself all my life.
This concept is a bit advanced, but it can be seen from the expression of excitement on his face that he was shocked by this sentence.
What Ren said is true. The Kingdom's Ministry of Justice is one of the largest departments in the country, with six to seven hundred people related to legal affairs alone.
It also has agencies such as the Public Security Bureau, law enforcement teams, penal and prison institutions...
Many cadres of the Lionheart Pirates are also named and serving in it.
But Uncle Yisheng quickly calmed down and spoke sharply, saying:
"With all due respect, this sounds too idealistic. There must be many contradictions in actual operation."
"Indeed, only Hongye Island has achieved good results. Other places still use the old management methods. The Ministry of Justice only has the power of supervision and prosecution." Renn does not deny this.
This is something that is difficult to fully realize even in the 21st century, let alone the OP world.
Many advanced things would be unsuitable or even counterproductive if implemented, so he tried it on Hongye Island.
Other places still have the flavor of this world, not much ahead of the curve. At most, they are more serious in terms of supervision, combating crime and evil forces, and standardizing business activities.
A life of relief.
He almost thought that the ideal paradise had been built, but it turned out that it was just a small pilot project.
Yisheng said with a serious face:
"The Ministry of Justice can't restrain you, right? You yourself have supreme power in the Lion Heart Kingdom... disbanding this agency is probably just a matter of words, right?"
Renn nodded and said: "Yes, the Lion Heart Kingdom is essentially a kingdom where royal power is supreme. At most, it is a bit like a constitutional monarch."
Ideas similar to constitutional monarchy are not a completely new concept in the OP world.
Yisheng accepted this and quickly pointed out the core contradiction, saying:
"In other words, behind the scenes, even if this idealized system can be promoted on a small scale, its essence is still based on your personal prestige, strong force and deterrence."
"Yes, if I hadn't wanted to play this way, many nobles and capitalists would have rebelled... Even so, the judiciary has given them some privileges as a compromise and appeasement." Renn shrugged.
It was just a small experiment.
Just like the democratic ideas and systems of ancient Athens, they were also based on slavery (only citizens who were slave owners had democratic rights).
It sounds ironic, but it is the fact, but no one will deny that this was an amazing attempt and feat thousands of years ago.
At least it left behind valuable experience and ideological heritage for future generations.
Hearing this, Yisheng sighed, and the excitement in his heart gradually calmed down, and he said:
"To tell you the truth, compared to your invitation, I personally want to participate in the world recruitment program and become a senior naval admiral... Can you give me a reason not to join the navy and choose to join the Lionheart Kingdom?"
This wave, Tuqiongdagger appeared.
"Of course, we keep going back to the law."
Ren's face was calm, "Because the navy is not good enough, the World Government's broken ship will also sink. Their rule has only been in a few years."
Yisheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"The world government really regards itself as a god, and the Celestial Dragons can trample all laws in the world."
Renn smiled and said sarcastically, "As a law enforcement agency and a representative of the force of justice, the Navy cannot control the top levels of the government, let alone restrain the Tianlong people, and this is not the most terrifying thing."
"Please continue."
"For example, as the king of the Lionheart Kingdom, I want to do evil."
Ren's face was cold and he said, "I want to kill people and set fires, I want to rape women... No one can stop me, but at least I will cover it up and do it in secret."
lifetime:"……"
"But the Tianlong people don't. They can do evil openly without being punished. But I at least have the face to cover up." Ren said calmly while cutting the steak.
lifetime:"……"
Looking at the confused life, Renn added:
"Trampling on the law and not being sanctioned by law enforcement agencies is actually not the most serious shakeup to the rule.
Many kings and powerful figures can actually trample and ignore laws, ignore law enforcement agencies, and even modify the laws, but their rule can still be stable.
But when these kings and big shots start to do evil openly and unabashedly, they are trampling on morality, people's hearts, and the bottom line...
This is very dangerous. In an era without laws, people stabilize social order in accordance with some traditional customs and secular moral concepts. It is difficult for the Tianlong people to behave against the trend of people's hearts and minds around the world without overturning."
I was a little moved by my life, but I still slapped him in the face and said: "But the World Government has stood for eight hundred years and has not fallen!"
Ren shrugged and said: "So, I have always thought that this is an unimaginable miracle. Let alone eight hundred years, I find it incredible that the Tianlong people have not been wiped out by people in eight years."
lifetime:"……"
Ren looked at the clock, stood up and said, "Well, to sum up, the World Government is about to die, while the Lion Heart Kingdom still has at least a few decades of national destiny...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I’ve said all I have to say, let’s go first, I’ve already paid for your bowl of beef noodles, you’re welcome.”
lifetime:"……"
There are too many flaws, wait, I haven’t responded yet!
"I……"
"Hang on, no need to say anything more. If you are interested in the Ministry of Justice, you can go and visit there. There are many imaginative policies for governing the country. I feel like an expert after seeing them."
Renn smiled lightly, put on his coat, and walked away.
Continue to cheat and invite?
Not necessary.
To put it bluntly, he just talked a few words casually. He was neither a saint nor a hero. He could manage the Lionheart Kingdom just fine. He still had his sister, the goddess Lungominiad and the empress behind him to help and give advice.
In fact, he didn't want to convince Yisheng.
Come here, give it a try, send out an invitation, have a few casual chats... and the process is complete.
Whatever you choose is your own business.
I am lucky to have gained, but I have lost my life. The Lion Heart Kingdom is now confident enough to cope with any challenges. One more Fujitora and one less Fujitora will not actually affect the overall situation.
Once you become a sword master, it won't be difficult to split the Red Earth Continent with one sword and wipe out the holy land of Mariejoia.
After all, the main world, the moon world, the OP world...the biggest difference between these worlds and the earth in the 21st century is that they possess "extraordinary" power.
When great power is attributed to oneself, it is the infinite world and the most incredible miracle.
You can solve almost any problem with violence.
After the conversation, Uncle Yisheng made no decision, but stayed temporarily.
During this meeting, Renne's some shocking thoughts and remarks, as well as his idiosyncratic behavior, undoubtedly left a very deep impression on him.
Madman, madman, saint, devil... In his life, he feels that any one of them can be applied to him, but it doesn't completely match him.
He decided to wait and see again.
Time passed by silently like this.
There are still constant disturbances on the sea. For example, the large fleet of the Nine Snakes Pirates entered their territory.
They also controlled eight islands in the New World. After settling down, they began to repair and train troops. At the same time, they recruited troops, purchased and mobilized various supplies such as guns, ammunition, and food.
The beasts are also making preparations for war in full swing.
The two emperors fight for hegemony without end, and the cloud of total war envelopes the entire new world.
All parts of the world have become unstable, the number of pirates going to sea has increased sharply, order has gradually collapsed in many places, and the navy is extremely busy.
The territory of the Lion Heart Kingdom is still stable, and almost no one dares to provoke this giant.
It was not until a month later that an inconspicuous coffin boat arrived at the port of Hongye Island, breaking the calm.
"Ren, no matter life or death, let's decide the outcome!"
The most decisive and passionate words of invitation to fight shouted from the mouth of the contemporary world's greatest swordsman "Eagle Eye" Joracol Mihawk, resounded throughout the dock area of Hongye Island, and completely detonated public opinion at sea.
