Dean thinks this won't work.
The entertainment awareness of residents in District 13 is too weak, and their entertainment life is too monotonous.
It may be that most of the energy is spent on worrying about attacks by monsters, so the construction of the spiritual world is neglected.
Dean felt that he needed to contribute to this, so he set out for the Knights' headquarters early the next morning, and used the contact channel provided by Timothy to make an appointment with him for a meeting.
Probably because Dean has been upgraded to a partner of the Knights and is barely registered with the guarding knights, his entry into the Knights' station this time is smoother than before.
The journey went smoothly to a restaurant in the station. Dean was curious that there was such a thing as a restaurant in the Knights' station, and followed the waiter's guidance to the private room where Timothy was.
"I didn't expect to meet so soon."
Timothy pushed the wine glass in the center of the table in front of Dean and nodded to the girl waiting outside the door.
Knowing that he meant to serve something, the other party responded with an "understood" gesture, closed the door to the room, and walked towards the kitchen.
"Is this an industry owned by the Knights?"
Noticing his interaction with the girl, Dean sat down opposite Timothy and asked casually.
"So be it."
Timothy explained unintentionally: "Occasionally, some nobles come to the head of the group to discuss matters, and we will arrange for them to come here."
He smiled at Dean, "Convenient."
convenient? I think it’s convenient to rip people off, right?
Dean's mouth twitched, and suddenly he felt the wine glass in his hand sink a lot.
Still a bit hot to the touch.
Seemingly aware of his pause, Timothy comforted: "Don't worry, I'll pay for this meal."
Dean, who was not classified as a fat sheep, breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of leaving.
After making a joke to lighten the atmosphere, Timothy took out Dean's summons from his pocket, put it on the table, and got straight to the point.
"I read the news you sent, why, it's not enough to earn our labor force, and you don't even want to let other people go?"
Timothy meant something, "You are quite confident about the results of the trial."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have placed so much bets on himself, and even he felt a little surprised.
This young boy looks quite calm, but he didn't expect that he would be so gambling.
Is he so confident that he can win?
Dean held the wine glass and said, neither salty nor bland, "It's okay."
This attitude was a bit unpredictable again. Timothy looked at him carefully and didn't see anything, so he didn't bother to explore.
Anyway, after the gambling is started, the Knights will also make money. As for what Dean thinks and what the outcome will be, it is none of his business.
Timothy skipped the temptation and focused the conversation on the gambling game.
"You and I have the same ideas, but if we want to accomplish this, we need your cooperation."
Dean brought the dishes brought by the waiter from the serving port to the table and listened to Timothy's introduction.
"In District 13, this kind of gambling, especially gambling involving large sums of money, is controlled by the Knights."
"So if we didn't start this, it would be impossible for anyone to dare to open a large-scale gambling game here."
This answered Dean's previous doubts.
Why not only the people in District 13 had no such plan, but also the outsiders were so quiet? All the reasons fell on the Knights.
They refused to let go. Even if everyone knew that the profits were huge, no one would dare to start it.
A flash of light flashed in Timothy's eyes. He looked at Dean and said in detail: "Although the Knights do not have the right to decide when selecting the Origin Guild, they still have a certain right to speak. If it is known that we are making this kind of bet, it will not affect the Origin." If word spreads about the guild’s quota bets, it will have a bad impact.”
"So we can't open this door."
"That's what the leader said."
This is also the reason why Timothy's proposal was rejected.
"But it would be a pity to give up such a good opportunity."
“It’s rare for District 13 to attract the attention of so many outsiders.”
"So actually I was already thinking about it before you came to me."
Timothy made no secret of his desire to plunder the wool. The look in his eyes when he looked at Dean was full of sincerity, and his natural expression of emotion left no room for doubt.
At this point, Dean probably guessed what Timothy was thinking.
He took the initiative and said: "If we participate, or initiate this bet, the Knights will not have so many scruples to intervene..."
Timothy nodded, satisfied with his sensitivity.
This is indeed his thinking.
But Dean had other problems.
"Things about the Origin Guild are not clear to outsiders, but we contestants are more or less aware of it."
"Over there with the witch and the exorcist..."
He looked at Timothy with a questioning look.
"I'll handle it."
This was also within the scope of Timothy's consideration.
How could people foolishly bet on themselves when they knew they would not win? Therefore, how to persuade them to set up a gambling game in this way was a very important question.
However, Timothy already has some connections, and he is confident that he can promote the formation of this gambling game.
Since Timothy said so, this question can be skipped.
Dean asked the second question.
"One more thing. I proposed the bet on my own initiative, so I'm afraid it won't have much appeal."
He is quite clear about his positioning in the hearts of other contestants.
No matter how you look at it, the foundation of the breeder is the weakest. Even if other contestants also want to participate in the bet, they may hesitate when they hear that it is him who proposes it.
So the Knights can't count on him in this matter.
Dean originally just wanted to state the facts, but after he said the words, he received a very surprised look from Timothy.
He said with a strange expression: "This brings us back to the previous question. Do you think that if I want to convince the exorcist and witch, I will talk to them directly?"
Dean was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his thinking had reached a dead end.
He is a loner, but the other three families are not.
And with Timothy's identity, it is certainly not difficult to get in touch with the organization to which they belong.
As long as the higher-ups are persuaded, these contestants will naturally have no choice but to obey.
Timothy looked at Dean's slightly embarrassed expression and skipped the topic very understandingly, "So you don't have to think too much, you just need to agree and be the first person to agree, that's enough."
To use an easy-to-understand term, it’s a pawn.
Being a weak breeder also has the advantage of being weak. At least Dean can be his own boss.
As long as he agrees, the bet will be a quarter successful.
In addition, there is a witch's house with whom we have a long-standing friendship.
Participants from all four parties agreed that as long as the knights operated a little bit, the bet would basically be settled.
There is no need to elaborate on the interests involved here with Dean.
