Chapter 227 Bet

Two days later, outside the imperial capital, the great nobles who went to participate in the autumn hunting were dispatched to see off the children who participated in the autumn hunting. There were hundreds of high-end carriages, as well as various nobles, noble ladies, servants, and guards, and there were tens of thousands of people, almost blocking the city gate.

In such a lively occasion, it is naturally the best time to compete with each other. The ladies and ladies all took out their best jewelry, and they all seemed to want to suppress the light of the sun. While they deliberately showed off their jewelry, they were talking to each other about which family’s children were the most eye-catching this year.

Unlike those women, when men beat each other, the topic of conversation is naturally inseparable from their respective mounts. After all, cavalry is still the most important force in combat on the mainland. On the battlefield, a group of good mounts often save their master's life. Therefore, good mounts are highly valued by nobles, because these days, almost all nobles have to go to the battlefield to fight, and the things that save lives are naturally the most important!

It is precisely because of this that mounts have become a very important part of aristocratic culture. Almost all the big families have good mounts. Almost all the monsters that can be used as mounts on the mainland have been plundered by them.

On this day today, of course, they would not miss this opportunity to show off and accompany the good mounts they searched for to the children who were about to travel far away. So, the whole city was like a zoo, with various monster mounts everywhere. There were war wolves of the beast clan, shadow demon leopards of the elves, and the level 2 wind-type monster wildebeest unique to the human world. There were at least dozens of varieties in it, but most of them were level 2 and 3 monsters, and very few advanced ones were because high-level monsters were rare and had a big temper, so they could not tame without considerable strength. Nowadays, they were all young people, and they obviously did not have the ability to tame high-level mounts.

And in this case, the appearance of two level 4 monsters suddenly alarmed everyone. They were the most famous mount pangolins, also known as the iron armor lizard. This thing has always been known for its powerful defense and super endurance. It is a very good mount. Once the iron armor lizard, which is almost a little larger than a rhino, starts to charge collectively, it is like an iron wall, and its power is not ordinary perverts.

However, there are not many such mounts among the dwarves, and they are a little short of equipping their own elite knights, so they almost never sell them out. Being able to obtain such mounts is obviously not just a manifestation of wealth, but more importantly, they must have a deep relationship with the dwarves. And now the two people sitting on the armored lizard are the third prince Kalapani and Pablo of the August family.

It turned out that when the dwarf master Piritz came to the Griffin Kingdom to participate in the auction of Thunder Knife, he brought a group of elite dwarf pangolin knights. Pablo walked with Piritz all the way, and he was envious of this iron-armored lizard. He always wanted to get two of them as mounts, but the dwarf knights used mounts as their lifeblood, so how could they give it to others easily?

Therefore, he came up with an idea. While he was doing his best to entertain the dwarves, the dwarves felt that they owe their favors, while the other half quietly put special medicines on the meals of the iron armored lizard, which made the two iron armored lizards strangely sick.

Because the dwarf did not understand pharmacy, he naturally could not see anything unusual. He only thought it was a hard time on the journey, and he was a little unacceptable to the local conditions after changing places, so he was like this. At this time, it was time for the dwarf to go back, and Pablo had already wasted a lot of time to meet Lao Xie, so he could not continue to delay.

In this case, Pablo proposed to ask him to take care of the two sick iron-armored lizards on his behalf, and wait until August's caravan goes to the Dwarf Kingdom next year before sending him over. Of course, when he said this, he naturally showed his love for the iron-armored lizard. Whoever he recognized him knew that he really liked it.

You know, the dwarves have a straightforward temper and are quite generous to their friends. When they saw this, they simply decided to give the two sick iron-armored lizards to Pablo, which could be regarded as repaying the favors of the Augustan family. So, the two rare iron-armored lizards came to Pablo. The third prince Kalapani also liked it, so Pablo naturally gave him one. In fact, the reason why he got two was to give one to his third prince cousin was of course to please His Majesty the future emperor.

With these two cool iron-armored lizards, the third princes Kalapani and Pablo suddenly became the focus of everyone. The two sat on the back of the iron-armored lizard, enjoying everyone's amazement and compliment. They were proud and very happy!

At this time, among the people who saw him off, and in the circle of the main stations of several major families, the patriarch Frank of the August family also heard: "Haha, Pablo is very cute, especially Master Piritz of the dwarf, who likes him even more. Look, even the armored lizards gave him two!"

"Ah!" Everyone immediately cooperated and exclaimed in surprise.

Then, Frank proudly said to the fat man on the side: "I wonder what Stephen will ride this time? I heard that he will command the flying dragon. Does he want to fly to Qiuzhao by himself?" Obviously, he wanted to compare the fat man in this matter.

The fat man actually didn't know what Lao Xie would ride, but he knew that the most important part of the activity like Qiu Hunting was interaction. If he rode his flying mount away from everyone, it would be better to go hunting by himself, and it would be meaningless. So he immediately sneered, "Don't worry, Lord Frank, he obviously won't ride a flying dragon!"

"Oh?" Frank immediately said curiously: "What will he ride? Could it be a group of horses? With his size, I am afraid that ordinary horses will be crushed by him! Haha!"

Then he burst into laughter. Although the others did not dare to laugh out loud in order not to anger the fat man, the smile on his face could not be hidden from the fat man.

"Hmph!" The fat man couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Although my child will not have any dwarf masters to send him a mount, he won't ride on a horse. Maybe he will surprise you?"

"I was surprised?" Frank immediately said with a funny look: "Except for the flying dragon, would he have a mount that is more powerful than the iron armored lizard?"

"Maybe this is possible!" The fat man said coldly.

"Oh, since that's the case, should I make a bet?" Frank said with a smile.

If you lose, you don’t lose. In the aristocratic circle, you can lose, but you can’t gamble because you are afraid of losing. The latter can only become a laughing stock for everyone to laugh at. Anyway, the Stephen family has a great family and doesn’t care about that little bet at all, so the fat man directly mocked: “Okay, last time you generously took away so many bow-making materials that I didn’t have, which made me a lot of money. I’m worried that I can’t spend this money! Tell me, how much do you want to bet?”

When the fat man deliberately mentioned the last incident, Frank's face turned green. You know, he had a big compensation last time! Almost all of them vomited blood. Although the emperor gave him a chance to sell the inventory, the materials were collected at three times the price, which was sold to the Empire of Bright, and at most it was sold at two times the price. Because the news that the iron bow appeared had already been obtained, and Frank had too many goods, the price of the bow-making materials began to drop sharply. Anyway, the August family also paid hundreds of thousands of gold coins after this entry and exit.

Such a heavy loss has left deep scars in Frank's heart. After finally forgetting it a few months later, it was revealed by the fat man in public. How could he not be angry? So in anger, he shouted directly: "Do you dare to 100,000 gold coins?"

When the fat man heard this, he couldn't faint. They often bets between them, but they were bets of several thousand gold coins. How could it be so big? This is obviously because Frank felt confident and wanted to hit the fat man hard?

If there were a few thousand gold coins, it wouldn't matter if the fat man lost, but when he heard that he was not an idiot, how could he agree? So he immediately wanted to shake his head and refuse. He would rather lose face than let Frank easily cheat his huge sum of 100,000 gold coins.

But at this moment, an old voice suddenly came: "I agreed for him!" Then, an old white-bearded man suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

When everyone saw that it was the pillar of the Griffon Kingdom, the Lightning Dharma Saint! It turned out that the old monk had something to come to the palace early this morning. When he was going back, he happened to pass by here and heard the bet between Frank and the fat man. Since someone wanted to give him 100,000 gold coins, could he say he didn't want it? So he immediately came forward in person!
