Different from the glittering trading area, the pirate area in Shark Bay is quite lively. In order to make the pirates willingly hand over the wealth from the harvest, the traders here have racked their brains. Thanks to their dedicated efforts, The pirates on the street all enjoyed it and couldn't help themselves.
Unlike the pirates who were shrouded in mist, having fun, or drinking in the dark, George came here to make serious money.
That's right, his destination was not a smokehouse, a tavern or a prostitute, but a gambling house.
Naturally, George knew that there were other ways to make money here, such as relying on the cloak of the Saint of Thieves to do the work of a noble gentleman, or changing careers to become a guard for a wealthy squire, or even going to the Thieves Guild to take over the dirty work of killing people and stealing goods, etc. But these methods either touch George's self-esteem or bottom line, or the time payback cycle is too long.
Who knows when Captain Duck will set sail again? Who knows when those cubs will be bought by some upstart?
time does not wait!
After briefly observing the pirate area, George aimed at a gambling house that was not the largest. The reason for choosing this place was also very simple. George could clearly feel that the aura of a strong man entrenched here was far better than other places. There are many more stores!
Regardless of whether there are some personal guards of merchants mixed in, at least, as much combat power as there is to guard it, there will be as much wealth worth searching for!
Since it was gambling, George naturally needed to have chips in hand, which was the original capital. However, this did not trouble George. At the entrance of the casino, there was a suspicious figure wearing a black robe and holding a gold bag in his hand. They both He didn't enter the casino door, nor did he seem to be leaving, he just stood there quietly.
George often saw the counterparts of these people in the Nicholas Empire. These men in black robes wandering around the casinos were loan sharks.
After all, gambling and lending are like a family.
"Sailor, what's your name, who's the captain, how much is the loan?"
Seeing George coming up to talk to him, these people just went straight to the topic without saying anything.
"Jojo, Captain Duck's man, lend me ten gold coins."
Over the past few days, George has used this pseudonym more and more skillfully, and he has sold Captain Duck's name for a good price.
"Ten gold coins is not a small amount. Except for the sapphire ring on your hand, which can be used as collateral, there is no need to talk about other things. Of course, you can borrow it without collateral, but the interest rate is higher."
"Unsecured."
Naturally, the "Sapphire Ring" cannot be removed by George and used as a mortgage. What is sealed in it is the soul of a sea monster that can destroy half of the island! As for the Saint Thief's cloak that had turned into ordinary clothing, this "suspicious person" had no eyesight to distinguish it; as for the sacred weapon of the Flame Fire Sword on George's waist, it was once again criticized because of its overly "simple" broken sword shape. Totally ignored.
"After signing this magic agreement, according to the rules, I will give you nine gold coins. The principal and interest add up to thirteen gold coins. The time limit is before the sun sets today, otherwise the interest will double every ten minutes."
Nine in and thirteen out, that is, if you borrow ten points and receive nine points, you will finally pay thirteen points based on ten points of interest. One of the common operating methods of loan sharks.
The sun is shining now, almost noon, and there are still about four or five hours before the sun sets. This time is just a matter of entering and exiting the casino. However, the other party actually demands an interest of nearly 50%. The loan shark is really consistent. What a black heart quotient!
However, looking at the lengthy and complex text in the magic agreement, which even contained many strange magic runes, George vaguely sensed that something was wrong. After secretly turning on his telepathy talent, he confirmed his inner doubts.
However, George still picked up the magic pen, and the pen tip quickly passed through the air. With the dazzling reflection of the "sapphire", a string of eloquent characters fell on the paper. At the moment when indoor and outdoor light and darkness alternated, George's figure There was a sudden blurry flicker, and then he officially entered the battlefield of this gambling house!
