Chapter 230: The Outstretched Hand
Merlin walked curiously into the interior of the casino. He had never been in a place like this before. Everything in front of him was glowing with golden light, whether it was the card tables, the slot machines with pull-rods inlaid with gems, or even every table and
Every chair exudes a psychedelic golden light. It seems that as long as you steal anything in this casino and sell it, you can become rich.
The little boy reached out to touch the surface of the slot machine he was passing by, wanting to see what it was. There were three glass frames, neither wide nor narrow, with figures of unknown meaning on them, some of which were rubies, some of which were berries, and some of which were berries.
Some were strange objects that he had never seen before.
How does this work? He doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know. Because his goal now is not to sit in front of the slot machine and play, but to find the person in charge of this casino.
"Underage brats are not allowed to play in the casino. If you are smarter, get out now and don't bother me sleeping here." A big hand pressed Merlin's head and turned him around forcefully.
"Haha - isn't it open yet? Why do children suddenly come in..."
An unshaven man with short black hair was Merlin's first impression of him. The man's slovenly image was incompatible with the elegant and luxurious atmosphere of the casino, and it was him who was obviously in charge of the casino.
"Mr. Anthony asked me to come to you, saying that I can be protected here." Merlin opened his eyes wide and looked at the man with only a few pieces of cloth on his body. "My father is here to act as the punisher."
The man bent over and yawned loudly. He wore a white vest on his upper body, which could barely cover his chest. The remaining muscles were openly exposed. In the eyes of women with normal aesthetics,
, maybe these chiseled abs are synonymous with evil
Words, because they will grab his eyeballs tightly and make him unable to move away. And his lower body is a pair of wrinkled light blue thin shorts, and he is actually wearing nothing on his feet. In other words,
, this man was walking barefoot in the middle of such a stunning and glorious casino...
"So the fat man brought you here?" The man frowned and scratched his head with his right hand, "Do you think I am the one who takes care of the children? Besides, I took care of her children back then..."
He finally sighed and looked at Merlin's face. The hand on his head gradually became lighter and he stroked it.
"You come with me, I will ensure your safety in one or two months," the unshaven man pulled Merlin deeper, "but you have to be my assistant, and the job content is not difficult. Moreover, you have to be my assistant.
You can also see a lot of interesting things and people. You will know my name tomorrow."
"Yeah." Merlin nodded, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Quite well behaved." The man raised his eyebrows slightly and picked up a sharp sword that had not been placed next to the slot machine. "Just serve tea and water. It's not difficult."
"Is there anything fun there?"
"Fun?" He snorted and laughed, "It's all fun, but nothing really fun. I advise you not to touch all the things here. You can't afford to play with them now. Of course, if you mess around with anything,
, it’s okay to ask your father to repay a lifetime debt, I won’t object anyway.”
Merlin had only seen a small part of the interior of the casino before, but now he looked around and found more shiny machines, but he didn't know how to operate them. There was even a super large roulette wheel.
, a cool flower bloomed on the track laid above, which made him a little confused just looking at it.
"Oh...I see." Merlin blinked, "Then where will I live every day?"
"I'm too lazy to book another room for you, so just sleep in my room. There are two beds anyway." The man glanced at Merlin's little head boredly, "In case of any emergency, I can also
Timely rescue."
The two walked through the corridor of the casino and walked out of an inconspicuous small door. Compared to the environment in the casino, everything here was overshadowed. It was similar to a room rented by a mercenary gathering, and it even had a mask.
Thick layer of dust.
"Has no one lived here for a long time?" The light above Merlin's head looked very dirty. He always felt that it would make people dirty when it shined on them. "It looks so dirty."
"Well, I just cleaned up my room." He suddenly paused and said awkwardly, "My room is a bit messy. Let me tidy it up before you go in."
The room directly opposite Merlin's door was the man's residence. He could clearly feel that the "one" on the door number was much cleaner than the numbers on other doors. But as soon as the man opened the door, Merlin felt that the environment here was actually better than outside.
It was also dirty - bedding and clothes were thrown around, parchment was scattered all over the floor, and he even saw a small pile of cockroach corpses piled on the wooden table next to him!
"Haha...hahaha!" The man smiled sarcastically and waved his hand casually. Wisps of mottled light appeared between his fingers, and everything in the room began to move.
The window burst open with a bang, and the pool of cockroaches on the table was instantly sent out of the window by the light. Even so, Merlin probably wouldn't take the initiative to touch that place. The remaining clothes on the bed floated up one by one.
, was quickly ironed and folded by the warm light in the air, and stuffed into a closet in the corner. Although it was only the moment of opening and closing the door, Merlin still saw a corner of the closet that seemed to have the same intoxicating scene from inside the casino.
Golden light.
What kind of clothes could sparkle like this? Merlin couldn't imagine what the man in front of him would look like if he wore such clothes. Anyway, he had already seen his slovenly appearance. No matter how glamorous he was in clothes, in
There was still a slovenly and slovenly man in front of him.
"Okay, there is nothing for you to eat here. Someone should bring the food over at dinner time. Just eat it then. You have a good rest today. You may be a little tired tomorrow." The man said.
He yawned and seemed to have never woken up, "I also have a job, so I can't take care of you all the time, so you have to be careful."
"I understand. Sir, what is your job?" Merlin was a little curious.
The man thought for a moment and said seriously: "Just take all the money from everyone who comes in!"
"I don't believe that robbery is bad!"
"I won from them, okay!" The man laughed loudly, "I have to rest for a while, don't disturb me, you can do whatever you like, just don't go out from here."
In fact, there wasn't much room for Merlin to move around. The little boy simply lay down on the soft bed and began to take a nap. He hadn't been able to sleep well in the past few days, and he was indeed a little tired. The man who said he wanted to take a rest turned a blind eye.
Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he was thinking about something.
What is the secret in [Bandits Lost Paradise] that makes him go to war and go to such lengths to do such seemingly meaningless things? He could have waited a few more years to send the latest batch of generations
After the training of the Punisher is completed and the Lost Paradise is opened...could something happen in advance? Or is it that something has changed, but he wants to try his best to restore it?
The little boy's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the muscles on his face tensed. He carefully looked around, and an unseeable milky white appeared in his eyes again. This time, he did not use the power of [Didama's Eyes] to look back.
, but use it to look down at the present.
He did this because the nightmare in the sea of consciousness screamed in disbelief: "That power of fate has come again... What's going on? Marquez, get up and take a look. It's obvious that you didn't get rid of them."
Is it done?”
Merlin's perspective changed to the same milky white color as his eyes. The things he saw were rapidly lengthening, and the dim scenes in the room began to blur and fade away. For a moment, he felt as if his soul had left his body and slowly ascended.
Go to the sky above the town and understand everything happening in the world from an omniscient perspective.
"If you look at it like this, your soul will definitely not be able to bear it. It must be focused on one focus." Nightmare gave instructions, "Look near the gate of the town."
Merlin just thought, and what he saw began to change rapidly, from the entire town to an area around the town. The nightmare sensed the power of fate, and the source of this power was either the stone statue or the
That damn missionary.
He saw it. It was the smelly and long hiking team again, headed by the man in black robes with a necklace around his neck. They were clearly heading towards this town. According to their traveling speed,
, it is estimated that it will take another day to walk to get there.
One day away...that is the first day of the official opening of Paradise Lost. What a coincidence, right? Do they want to come to a place like this to preach? If not, what is their purpose?
Not far from the missionary team, he saw another familiar figure.
It was the toy merchant who called himself Laurent. He left the team on the day he arrived at the place where the orc prisoners were executed. Merlin didn't know where he was going at the time. But now, he is following the end of the team, seemingly pretending to be a cultist.
One of them followed them as if nothing had happened.
If there is nothing wrong, this toy merchant will actually come to this place of right and wrong tomorrow... to sell toys?
By the way, did those orcs escape? Merlin started searching for traces of the escaped orcs, but couldn't find them. They should have escaped...
I hope they can escape to the Orc Zone. Sheldon was previously the director of the Orc Management Department, and he can also hear something by the way. Anyway, he knows that as long as they escape to the Orc Zone, even if the king himself goes to arrest them,
Chapter completed!
