C350 Gambling as Life 1(2)

Why did you choose that inn? I can't explain it clearly. That was the place where I first met Marina. Under the influence of my subconscious, I can't think of any other inn in Lut Gholein that is suitable for me to stay in.

The owner of the inn hasn't changed for the past few years. When he saw me come in, the first expression that appeared on his face was still disgust and shock, but when he saw Meshief standing respectfully behind me, he hurriedly stood up to welcome me. "Don't reveal my whereabouts." I once again reminded Meshief. Indeed, I am not good at dealing with important people. To me, it is suffering.

Meshief does not dare to disobey me. He whispered a few words to the manager before cupping his hands and saying goodbye to me, "Hero, please rest assured. Meshief will do his best to complete the task assigned to him by the hero."

Due to the orders of the navy commander, the pirates and I were arranged to the best room. When Meshief was about to leave, Anand sneakily pulled him aside and talked to him in a low voice for a while.

I looked around the layout of the hotel and saw that there were no changes from a few years ago. I could even recognize the seat where I was drinking. At that time, Marina was mischievously sitting at the table next to me in a cloak. An indescribable melancholy instantly filled my chest. I quickly climbed up the stairs. I walked into my own room.

It was only noon, and I didn't have the mood to eat. He told the pirates not to disturb me. I lay on the bed by myself, preparing to have a proper rest. The road ahead is filled with unknown dangers, I must take a good rest.

Lying on the soft bed, I quickly fell asleep. The dream came quickly. I saw Cecilia wearing battle clothes and holding a flower basket with her right arm. She smiled at me, "You must pay attention to everything I give you, including this flower basket."

"Cecilia, I have always kept this flower basket by my side. I dare not throw it away. I don't dare to look down on your things. But what is the use of this flower basket? I'm a man, and I carry a flower basket every day. It seems a bit ridiculous."

Cecilia pouted," You make it sound good. Where is my battle clothes? "

"Isn't the battle armor on you?" I looked at Cecilia strangely and felt that something was wrong. The battle armor was indeed lost.

Cecilia's long rose colored hair fluttered in the wind, "You have to quickly find the things I gave you. Otherwise, you will suffer."

I am a bit depressed. " Yes, I will get them back. But can you tell me what the use of that flower basket is?"

Cecilia smiled mysteriously. "Stupid!" After saying that, her figure gradually blurred.

"Cecilia?" I raised the golden flower basket and was at a loss.

Suddenly, the huge ice worm flashed in front of my eyes and the ugly face woke me up. I dreamt that Cecilia seemed to have become more and more numerous. Until now, Cecilia has left me many mysteries.

I was covered in sweat and felt that my head was a little heavy. Since I woke up... I was no longer in the mood to sleep. After being dazed for a while, I thought of Atma. I haven't seen her since I started practicing dark magic. Tomorrow, I will once again become a hurried passerby in Lut Gholein. Should I go to her place to drink some fresh wine? At the same time, I will ask about the origin of this magical amulet.

I picked up the flower basket and walked out. I don't dare to leave Cecilia's things.

It was already afternoon. Logically speaking, the business at this time would be relatively light. However, the hotel lobby was surrounded by a large group of people, as if they were watching something interesting. I walked down the stairs and heard an accent from my hometown. " You don't seem to have much of a chance, let's stop here."

The crowd sighed, as if the good show had ended, but they still wanted more.

The crowd dispersed. Only a dozen pirates were still standing there, lost in thought. Soon, I saw Anand's dejected face. "We lost all of them again. Damn it, aren't you cheating? Why are you always so evil?"

"I'm willing to bet and I admit defeat. I didn't force you. You forced me to bet with you. Can I leave now? Next time you have money, remember to come and find me. " The girl from Arreat laughed loudly and stood up to leave.

"Boss Demon Dragon." Anand's face turned pale. It seemed that he had lost all the money he got from Meshief. "You have to get back some face for our brothers."

I can't be bothered with him. I know nothing about gambling. Am I really a god?

The girl had already walked out of the door. When she heard Anand's words, she slowly turned around and looked at me from head to toe. Her disdainful eyes appeared once again. I'm a little puzzled. If you hate my profession, just wear a disgusted expression on your face. Why is it always that strange expression?

I ignored Anand's pleas and walked out of the hotel with my head lowered.

"Boss Demon Dragon, right?" The girl from my hometown took the initiative to speak to me.

I didn't bother with her. Since she was just a passerby in a hurry, what good would it do me to get to know a woman with good gambling skills?

"You have quite a big ego, ugly monster." That woman was obviously provoking him. I can't deny that I'm a bit sorry for the audience, especially after practicing dark magic. So what if I'm ugly? What does that have to do with me? I smiled and continued walking with my head down.

"Hey, are you really not interested in gambling with me? I have something that you are interested in." The woman behind me shouted.

My heart skipped a beat, something I'm interested in? Other than Cecilia's battle clothes and barrier key, what else can arouse my interest? I couldn't help but turn around.

The girl from my hometown looked at me proudly, as if she was very sure that she had something that I was interested in. "What is it?" I ask.

"Huh? Your accent?" The woman was a bit surprised.

Although I have left Arreat for hundreds of years, I still spoke with a strong Arreat accent. That woman had clearly determined my birthplace from my accent.

"How can a man from Arreat cultivate the Necromancy?" The girl seemed very excited, as if she had found a rare treasure. "This is unbelievable. How did you leave Arreat?"

I turned around and continued on my path. I don't seem to have a good impression of this girl. I don't want to get entangled with her.
