Chapter 15 Betting

"Get out of the way, everyone, please give way. Don't get scratched by these fish-men's weapons."

Natalie couldn't suppress the smile on her face at all. After pouring, she waved her hand and shouted a reminder to everyone around.

Galken and Tagle also stepped forward, firstly to help maintain order, and secondly to prevent thieves among other adventurers from attacking secretly.

Ke Wen looked at the bar with a smile, but after seeing the crabs on the ground, he quickly turned around and greeted the bar owner: "Boss, do you have a larger pot here?"

"Of course." The bar owner responded to Ke Wen with a joyful smile on his face that said he had made another big profit tonight: "Do you want me to help cook those seashells and crabs?"

"Uh, how do you like the taste of seashells?" Ke Wen asked in advance: "I haven't eaten them before."

The bar owner shook his head: "The meat is too hard."

"Forget it." Ke Wen pointed at the big crabs: "Boss, help me cook all those crabs."

The bar owner was very surprised: "Cook it whole?"

"That's right, cook it whole." Ke Wen nodded.

The bar owner looked at the big crabs and thought that even if the cooking failed, there would still be a lot of crab legs that could be eaten, so he nodded and said, "No problem, I'll help you deal with it right now."

After saying that, the boss called to the back kitchen and asked someone to come out and help...

At this time, Natalie and the others had roughly collected the loot.

They gathered together the various weapons used by the fishmen and put the four treasure chests together.

Then, the three of them turned to look at Kewen at the same time, waiting for Kewen to host the event.

Ke Wen raised his head and drank up the 'Dwarf Mead' in the cup, wiped his mouth and then stood up. He looked slightly drunk and walked to the center of the hall with slightly erratic steps.

Snap!

After slapping his hands twice and attracting everyone's attention, Ke Wen laughed loudly and said: "Friends! Let's take a gamble now! Everyone can participate!"

"Betting and guessing?" A diner dressed as an adventurer asked curiously: "How to gamble and guess?"

Ke Wen pointed to the four treasure boxes: "We haven't opened these boxes yet. Now you can bet on the value of the loot inside."

After saying this, Kewen took out three pieces of parchment from his pocket.

The parchment that was cast by the spell quickly grew in size, and he used magic to hang the paper on the rafters.

Before everyone could marvel at his magic, Ke Wen pointed at three pieces of parchment that were almost as tall as a person and said with a smile: "There are three betting ranges, which are less than one silver coin, between one silver and one gold coin, and one

More than gold coins!”

Pointing to the four treasure boxes again, Ke Wen continued: "Everyone can place a copper coin and choose one bet within the three betting ranges. Let's take a guess on each box."

"What if the bet is right?" Someone asked loudly: "How much money can be returned if the bet is right?"

Ke Wen raised his head and laughed, then pinched his waist with his hands: "We are doing this for entertainment, not for gambling, but for betting on luck to make everyone lively, so those who bet correctly can equally share all the copper coins in the other two betting areas."

"I bet!" a female town citizen screamed with a smile, while handing the copper coin to Ke Wen, she said: "I bet between one silver coin and one gold coin!"

"I'm coming too! I'll pay more than one gold coin!"

"I'll press a silver coin!"



Everyone started to make a fuss and place bets.

Ke Wen smiled and asked everyone's name, and used magic to make the names appear automatically on the paper.

They could see such miraculous magic effects and participate in such an interesting guessing activity. Therefore, everyone took out a copper coin from their pockets and told Ke Wen their names to place their bets.

After placing the bet, Coven smiled and raised his chin to Natalie.

Natalie kept the smile on her face, leaned over and picked up a treasure box.

Galken called for everyone to move a table, and Natalie placed the treasure box on the table, pretending to delay for a moment, and then quickly opened the treasure box.

After flipping the treasure box over, a "crash" sound sounded, and Natalie tipped the contents of the treasure box onto the table.

Two bolts of linen, a worn-out cloth shoe, about thirty silver coins, and some large shiny scales.

Natalie's smile completely disappeared, and her expression was full of disappointment.

A merchant reported the value of everything. Two pieces of linen cloth totaled five silver coins. The cloth shoes were worthless. A dozen scales were worth about twenty silver coins.

Therefore, all the items in this treasure chest add up to less than sixty silver coins.

No one cared about the disappointment of Natalie and others. At this time, cheers rang out, and those who had won between one silver coin and one gold coin started laughing excitedly.

Those who were not suppressed were also making noises, making the entire hall extremely noisy.

Ke Wen looked on with a smile, but he noticed Natalie's loss, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said loudly in her ear: "Why are you so disappointed? Don't forget, we still have four fishmen.

As for the Spellcaster's staff, all the harvested weapons added together can earn you a few gold coins at a minimum."

Natalie was stunned for a moment, and then she figured it out, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly again.

Coven smiled and drew back his neck, then jumped up on the table and began to distribute copper coins to the winning bettors.

The distribution was completed soon, and Ke Wen shouted again: "Keep going! The second guessing game has begun, everyone has placed their bets."

After speaking, he waved his arm towards the parchment hanging on the beam, causing all the names on it to disappear.

The second round of registration and betting began. Kewen also used magic to register his name on the paper, and then gave Tager a wink.

Tager leaned over and reached out, picked up the second treasure box, and placed it on the table.

Natalie backed down this time and no longer believed in her own luck, so she directly said to Tager: "This time you will open the box!"

"Hey hey, okay!"

Tager rubbed his hands and rubbed his palms on his leather armor, then carefully opened the box and tipped it over.

Ding-dang-dang.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! More than a dozen gold coins rolled out of the treasure box first, causing gasps of air from all around.

Then, several small bottles with red liquid rolled out, causing the adventurers around to exclaim: "Alchemical healing potion!"

Finally, a pair of half-armor and a one-handed sword slipped out of the treasure chest.

Everyone was shocked, and some people even exclaimed loudly: "Which knight's entire wealth fell into the hands of a fish-man?"

At this time, a figure flashed past, and Galken almost threw himself on the table.

Holding the armor and one-handed sword with a look of ecstasy, Galken laughed repeatedly: "Haha! I'm getting rich! I'm getting rich now!"

His actions made the adventurers around him make envious sounds.

This time, the specific value cannot be calculated in a short time.

However, after Ke Wen’s reminder, the punters who hit the ‘more than one gold coin’ area cheered again.

The atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely heated.

After Kewen divided the copper coins, he started the next round of guessing.

The next two treasure chests are not of high value. One treasure chest is almost empty, with only a few pieces of worthless copper ore, and the total price is less than one silver coin.

The last treasure chest is pretty good, it contains an iron buckler and a package.

Inside the package were two gold coins, some silver coins, and a silk robe. In total, the value of the treasure chest was approximately six gold coins.

As the treasure chest opened, the winners cheered loudly and accepted the congratulations of others.

Those who didn't win were just joining in the fun, and no one cared about the loss of a copper coin.

As for the adventurers from other teams, they can only express their envy to the four of Ke Wen. They are envious of their gains this time, and they have really become rich...

Next, Natalie evaluated all the captured murloc weapons, and the final calculated value was about ten gold coins.

This made the three of them smile happily, and they even dared to say that they would pay for the dinner tonight.

Ke Wen smiled and agreed, and after the loot was released, he would be compensated with two gold coins.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually cooled down.

Ke Wen glanced at the seashells and suddenly had another idea. He waved his hand and made a large seashell fly to the table and said loudly: "Do you want to continue betting on the lottery?"

"What else are you guessing?" someone asked with a smile.

Ke Wen pointed at the large seashell and said, "Let's make it simple this time. Just guess whether there are pearls in it."

"good!"

"Keep guessing!"

"I bet this one doesn't have one in it!"

"I guess not!"



The atmosphere became lively again, and everyone took out copper coins to place bets again while laughing and joking.

Kewen collected the money to register, and then asked Garken to pick out a short sword from the loot on the ground and be responsible for opening the shell.

In the end, there were more than 20 large sea shells, but only four had pearls inside.

Most people bet on no pearls, so in the end, Kewen lost a few silver coins.

But Kewen didn't care about that at all, four pearls were enough for him to earn.

Among the four pearls, there are two shiny small pearls, about the size of a baby's fist.

Among the other two, one is a black pearl and the other is a gold pearl. They are both the size of an adult's fist, round and shiny, and very beautiful.

In other words, it is common in the world of 'Azeroth' and seems to be of low value.

If it were another world, these black, one gold and two large pearls would probably be sold for a sky-high price.

So after the guessing activity ended, Kewen kept the two pearls for himself and planned to acquire some more in the future.

There's nothing he can do about it, he's a little bit suffering from the 'squirrel disease'.



The guessing activity came to an end, and then the carnival and banquet began.

The townspeople seemed particularly excited to be able to participate in such an interesting event and eat and drink for free, and the laughter that shook the roof almost never stopped.

The four of Kewen put all the loot back into the 'space bag' and waited to find channels to sell it tomorrow. Then they found a table to sit down and started eating and drinking to their heart's content.

This night, Ke Wen was carried back to the guest room on the second floor again...
