Law of the Devil

For the citizens of the imperial capital, after the carnival of the Fengfeng Festival, the excitement did not end. The "tournament" held by the Knights Association has already become the focus of public opinion on the streets.

The nearby streets near the headquarters of the Knights Association have been overcrowded for the past two days. Therefore, the Imperial City Public Security Bureau had to increase its manpower several times to maintain order there.

Looking at the warriors of all kinds, holding weapons, they lined up on the long street in front of the Knights Association, non-stop from morning till night.

For Deron, he was almost exhausted. Although Du Wei later asked Zach to send him a lot of people, and opened many registration points in front of the gate of the Knights Association... But this kind of excitement lasted for two full days!

In just the first two days, more than a thousand people signed up!

According to the feedback received, apart from many unsatisfied low-level samurai who signed up for the competition, many of them were guards from rich and noble families—everyone hoped to stand out! If you can stand out in the martial arts tournament, it will be better than being bodyguards for those rich men for the rest of your life!

It was the day after the registration, which was the day after the Qingfeng Festival. A big news quickly spread in the imperial capital!

The "Holy Knights", which is well-known in the mainland and has always been known as the number one knights in the mainland, this powerful armed group that defends the church, unexpectedly also participated in the competition!

The current two knight leaders of the Knights, two eighth-level knights, Stegel and Randall, plus four seventh-level knights, and more than a dozen sixth-level knights. Everyone signed up for this competition!

In the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, people talked about this interesting news after tea and money, and many people also talked about it: When the powerful holy knights and the proud guards of the nobles fought, who would win and who would lose? ?

But everyone. There is always some curiosity-seeking mentality, especially such a big event, and it is still a major competition! Naturally, many people like to speculate and discuss future wins and losses.

The Holy Knights sent a group of strong players to participate, and undoubtedly poured a bucket of oil into the fire! Therefore, whether it is a teahouse hotel or a car shop and a horse shop in the imperial capital. The topic of discussion in people's mouth is always "that tourney", "holy knight" and so on...

This is the second day.

And on the third day, an even bigger blockbuster news aroused even bigger and stronger repercussions in the imperial capital!

Currently the most popular first minister in the imperial capital, the youngest genius grand duke in the empire, the famous tulip grand duke. The youngest general in the empire who had 100,000 troops at the age of 18, held a provincial leader, rejected the grasslands in the west, and wiped out the warlords in the east. Lord Duvi Rudolph. He even signed up for the competition! !

Du Wei is one of the most popular celebrities in the empire in recent years! You don't need to know the name of the regent. You don't need to know who the leader of the Holy Knights is, or even the age of Pope Paul XVI...but as a member of the Roland Empire. If you don't know Du Wei's words, then you will be regarded as an idiot!

Even because Du Wei was young and promising, he became famous at a young age, and he was also a top nobleman, young and handsome. Popular young idol. I don't even know how many aristocratic teenagers regard Du Wei as their lifelong goal in their hearts.

At such a time, such a radiant person actually announced his participation in this tournament! ?

After everyone was shocked, they immediately set off another climax in this storm of public opinion!

Will Lord Tulip become the final victor?

Isn't the Duke of Tulip just a magician?

I don't seem to have heard that Lord Tulip is good at martial arts?

When questions were thrown out one after another, some people who admired Du Wei quickly and spontaneously formed the Tulip Guards, and started a war of words with those who questioned?

Everyone knows the power of Lord Tulip Duke! He is a famous strong man in the mainland!

What? He is a magician? Hmph, whoever stipulates that magicians cannot learn martial arts! With the genius of Duke Tulip, he can't learn anything!

Hmph, he doesn't know martial arts? Don't forget, my lord, he is not a simple civil servant! He is the youngest general in the empire! As an imperial general, how could he not know martial arts?

Afterwards, Du Wei led his troops to defeat the prairie cavalry in Jiliat City, and wiped out the rebellious Northwest Army in the Northwest War, which was revealed time and time again.

Of course, Du Wei, as the person involved, did not expect such an effect, and in this wave of upsurge, Du Wei's reputation was raised to a very high level once again!

\u0026#

In addition to the high-profile participation of the Duke of Tulip, another piece of news is that Mr. Zach, the business manager of the Tulip family in the imperial capital, once again tinkered with a profitable thing: gambling!

Gambling has existed since ancient times. And in several industries in the imperial capital controlled by Zack, they began to announce that they would accept betting on the outcome of this tournament!

This is a naked gambling behavior. Although the imperial decree does not prohibit gambling, this kind of public gambling is still immoral.

However, it was something made by the Tulip family. Who would dare to report on Du Wei? ——Of course, Du Wei is not without political enemies, but even if he sues, there will definitely be no results! Because this gambling behavior obviously has a certain official color!

Behind the scenes, Du Wei has promised that part of the proceeds will be used to subsidize the imperial finances that are overwhelmed by military expenditures!

The empire originally had some underground casinos controlled by wealthy families, but when it comes to gambling. Who can have Du Weijing

From a previous life. The kind of gambling that he saw in his previous life with all kinds of tricks has already been extremely proficient-the gambling that he made in the Roland Plain back then was just a small warm-up.

obviously. This time the Tulip family will make a fortune again!

There are more people with money and leisure in the imperial capital! Hundreds of years of peace. He has fattened up a lot of rich and noble families in the imperial capital. These are idlers. Nobles who like to have fun when they are full. Sufficient gold coins in the pocket can be used for squandering. so. People who are willing to participate in such lively things. Naturally, there are a lot of land.

Du Wei's "sinful gambling group" obviously has the color of government-business collusion... Even the organizer was dragged into the water by him! .

The imperial government led by Prince Chen became the umbrella of this gambling group. Even in the busiest days of betting. The Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau was also ordered to send additional manpower to maintain order near Du Wei's property!

And the Knights Association also participated in it... Deron was tempted by this plan to make a fortune. He is responsible for providing the information of all applicants to the professionals responsible for calculations under Zack.

Those people carefully cleaned up the ages of all applicants. identity. birth. Master. Samurai rank. After waiting for various information. Select some players who are considered promising. as the object of betting. Announce it.

And this result. It also caused a very subtle thing: before the start of the No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the World. Many contestants have already become famous by becoming the object of betting in this way! !

And after the calculations of the professionals under Zack's men. Every day, the latest odds will be announced on the bulletin boards at the entrances of several industries. Attract all kinds of gamblers to bet. And it will also be based on some unexpected circumstances. Modify odds at any time.

For example, a certain player was still popular the day before. The next day it came that he fell while riding a horse. His odds plummeted immediately.

And some are unpopular. Suddenly, because of a dispute with other contestants in the hotel at night, they got into a big fight. After showing impressive strength. It became an instant hit the next day!

Moreover, Du Wei and Zack Jr. came up with all kinds of strange betting projects: they are not limited to betting on who is the champion! Instead, they used the top 50 to bet!

And not just betting on who wins and who loses. In addition to winning or losing. You can also bet on life and death! The betting winner is slightly injured. seriously injured. Or how long you can last in the game...blah blah blah. All kinds of strange ways to bet. It is really amazing their imagination!

Except for gambling. Another new thing derived from gambling. It soon became a hot commodity in the imperial capital! this kind of thing. It was named "Sai Jing" by Du Wei!

And the "horse classics" of the horse racing place in the previous life. The "ball classics" of gambling places. The lottery industry is the same as the "Cai Jing". This "Sajing" is in Du Weidi's design. A new edition is launched every seven days! The above details all the information of the most popular participating warriors recently. Also list their strengths and weaknesses. besides. There will also be some potential-level characters that may exist for your reference...

this kind of thing. It quickly swept the entire imperial capital! After the 1,000 copies of the first issue of "The Sutra" were printed and released. All sold out in less than a day!

After getting this news. Responsible for printing the "Tournament" Delong Knight (because all the contestant information is provided by the Knights Association). Immediately made two decisions: print 3,000 more copies! At the same time, the price of each volume will be tripled!

Later, under the instruction of Du Weidi. Deron tinkered with a new gadget. It is the hardcover version of the "vip competition" that is more beautifully printed. Some artists were even invited to draw portraits of some popular contestants! There are also some latest internal information... of course. The price is also more expensive. Such a booklet. Can be sold for a gold coin! Of course. this kind of thing. Sales groups are not ordinary gamblers. It's the nobles and rich people who like to spend a lot of money betting.

Deron's face has almost blossomed with a smile these days. He was constantly running between printing workshops and knights' associations. Put all the energy into printing the "Book of Competition".

The first phase of the game was sold on the ground. He got hundreds of gold coins... although the money is not much. But this is pie in the sky after all! Deron has been poor. I couldn't even close my mouth.

After the second phase of the game was listed. The hardcover version of the Saijing is even more favored by the nobles of the imperial capital-after all, they are nobles. Always like to pay attention to their noble status. Noble gentlemen. It is disdain to use the same thing as those mud legs in the streets and alleys! so. Although the price of this hardcover booklet reached one gold coin. It is equivalent to spending a few days for an ordinary family. But it is still in short supply.

The second issue of the competition. Let Delong get a windfall of more than a thousand gold coins!

\u0026#

Du Wei saw that this kind of competition was so popular. Can't help but be a little surprised. He was just thinking about it randomly. In the spirit of "mosquito legs are small but also meat". Randomly came up with an idea to let Delong make a small fortune. I didn't expect this thing to become so popular. Starting from the third period. Sales have exceeded 10,000 copies! !

And I heard that they have been sold to the towns around the imperial capital! Even expired land has become very popular!

"Uh...then I can think about it. How about making some newspapers?" Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.

\u0026#

Don't think that Du Wei made this kind of competition to make less money. this kind of thing. It is mainly a way to control public opinion! Like now. As long as Du Wei is willing. He can use this kind of competition to win a big hit at any time! Then people bet wildly on the favorite...

The results of it? hum. Naturally, Du Wei's gambling group is going to make a lot of money!

"There are so many rich people in the imperial capital!" Looking at the latest betting settlement data sent up. Du Wei was also taken aback! .
