Things about the female knight in black stockings

The largest casino in Krall City.

Chapter 52: First try to strengthen luck

Although most of the people who come to the casino to play are men, a few noble ladies and ladies also come to have some fun from time to time.

"Welcome, distinguished lady."

So when Valensa walked into Jiyunfang with her maid, a waiter wearing a bunny girl uniform came over immediately with a sweet smile:

"May I ask what you want to play today."

"This is actually my first time~~"

Valencia smiled shyly:

"Is there any kind of project suitable for novices? The kind of project that does not require psychological confrontation and just relies on luck... I just want to open my eyes."

"Is it suitable for beginners? Of course it is."

Miss Bunny Girl nodded:

"If you don't want to compete with others, you can try the roulette game. Just guess the numbers. You only need a minimum of 1 gold coin each time to place a bet."

"How about roulette... I've heard of this, so let's try this."

Valencia pretended to be eager to give it a try, and she looked very bold but actually took out 10 gold coins in one go with great pain:

"Here, change the chips for me. I'll try my luck in a few games first."

"Ok."

Miss Bunny Girl smiled and took the gold coins, quickly changed them into chips and took them over. She led Valensa and Melina to the roulette area and explained the gameplay in detail.

"I understand."

Valencia nodded quickly.

To put it simply, the rules of this roulette wheel were similar to those in the casinos of her previous life, but the betting methods were not as rich as those in her previous life.

In the previous roulette game, players could guess 1 number, 3 numbers, 6 numbers, 12 numbers, as well as high and low numbers or odd and even numbers.

The roulette wheel here doesn’t have so many choices, you can only bet on 1 number or color.

There are 36 numbers on the roulette wheel and 3 colors: red, white and black. The odds of betting on the numbers are very high, but the chance of winning is too low.Betting on color is just the opposite.

"Okay, you go and do other things. I'll just play by myself next."

After understanding the betting rules, Valencia, like a truly wealthy noble, stuffed a chip equivalent to 1 gold coin into the bunny girl's collar as a tip.

Miss Bunny Girl's smile immediately became sweeter:

"Okay, then I wish you a happy time, miss. You can call me anytime if you need anything."

After watching Miss Bunny Girl leave, Valencia was not in a hurry to participate in the game, but first pretended to talk to Melina while looking at the entire casino with the corner of her eye.

She just glanced at the frustrated or excited customers and various entertainment items, and only took a few more glances at the beautiful and hot bunny girls with attractive uniforms and the beautiful dealers.

What really caught Valencia's attention was the notice posted in the most conspicuous place of the casino, and a silent man in black cloak sitting in the corner.

The notices were of course the rules of the casino, and most of them had little to do with Valencia. Only one of them made her hesitate:

[It is prohibited to use any magic to cheat, and violators will be required to pay three times the fine]

The man in black cloak sitting in the corner has a ruby ​​wand in his hand. He is most likely a magician hired by the casino to monitor the magic fluctuations in the casino.

Are psychic powers considered magic?

Shouldn't count...

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Miss Phantom Thief to not discover the truth about her strength for so many years.

Anyway, let’s give it a try first. You haven’t started playing yet. Even if you are discovered, you don’t have to pay any money. The most you can do is be kicked out.

Thinking like this, Valencia took a deep breath and kept saying silently in her heart:

My luck is great!

...The heart pool only fluctuated slightly, and the power reserve was almost completely undepleted.

Did it fail?Psychic power cannot strengthen the invisible and intangible existence of luck?

Valencia frowned, but she felt that it shouldn't be the case. She suddenly had a strange intuition that the activation of psychic power must have been successful.

But this is almost no consumption of the heart pool reserve... Is strengthening luck so energy-saving?

...Forget it, you will know after you try it.

Valencia glanced at the man in black cloak again, and seeing that he still had no reaction, she placed a bet on the beautiful dealer who controlled the roulette wheel, and randomly placed a bet on the number 19.

After the betting time was over, the roulette wheel began to spin, at first very fast, then slowly slowing down, and finally stopped firmly at the 19 position.

"Huh?"

"Umm~"

The first sound of surprise came from the beautiful dealer and other guests. Although novices always have good luck, it is too outrageous to be able to win by betting on a single number for the first time in roulette.

The second moan came from Valencia. The moment the roulette pointer stopped at position 19, the energy in her heart almost dried up in an instant, her legs became even weaker, and she almost fell into the arms of the beautiful dealer. inside.

Fortunately, she was a candlelight-level female knight after all. She adjusted her posture in time when she was about to fall, and quickly regained her balance without making a fool of herself.

However, she looked like she was too excited and couldn't stand still, which basically dispelled everyone's suspicion.

This should be a pure accident... If it was really cheating, the winner should be extremely proud or pretending to be calm at the moment. How could he be so frightened like this?

In fact, Valencia was really a little too frightened. She guessed wrongly about the consumption mechanism of strengthening luck.

Unlike strengthening the sense of smell, which simply consumes energy and adds BUFF, strengthening luck is more like opening up a new state. Every time you get a benefit through luck, you will consume the same amount of heart pool reserves.

Moreover, the consumption was huge. Valencia just won more than 20 gold coins at one time, and more than 90% of her heart pool was consumed in an instant.

In this case, let alone just draw the golden inheritance in the dimensional hardware store, if you want to get ten purple rares as a guarantee, it is probably far from enough.

But Valencia was not discouraged. Plan A failed, and she still had Plan B.

But before conducting new experiments, she had to find a way to quickly restore her heart pool reserves.

With her previous attempts with Melina, Valencia is very experienced this time.

She first called the bunny girl who had received her before, saying that she had just won a big hand and her heartbeat was a little fast and she wanted to take a rest.

Naturally, Miss Bunny Girl would not refuse. She took Valencia to the rest area where snacks and drinks were served, and she also found a seat in the corner according to Valensa's wishes.

But just when Miss Bunny Girl was about to leave, she discovered that Valencia stuffed two 1-gold-coin chips into her collar as a tip, and at the same time stretched out a leg towards her:

"Do you think...my black stockings look good?"

???

This noble lady got so happy after winning money?

This was Miss Bunny Girl's first thought.

But for the sake of the tip, she still showed a sweet business smile:

"You look good. There is no one who looks better in black stockings than you, Miss... Hmm."

While answering, Miss Bunny Girl actually took a few glances at Valencia's black stockings legs, and found that they were indeed pretty.

Chapter 53 Melina has a new plan

Miss Bunny Girl's praise was obviously not as sincere as Melina's, but the effect was still there.

Valensa followed suit again, and after sending the bunny girl away, she used various excuses to call in more than a dozen other bunny girls, beautiful dealers, and waitresses delivering snacks and milk tea.

Also while giving tips, I asked them if their black stockings were beautiful.

Not many people can resist the charm of money. Although every casino employee who was asked was surprised at first, in the end they all praised Valencia's black stockings with some sincerity.

That's it.

Seeing that the power of the heart pool was almost half recovered, Valencia returned to the entertainment area again to conduct her experiment of using psychic power to strengthen luck.

But this time she didn't dare to play the high-odds games where you bet on the roulette numbers alone. Instead, she chose a few games with higher winning rates but low returns.

Sure enough, the consumption and benefits of strengthening luck are directly proportional, and the situation that almost drained Valencia's heart suddenly has never happened again.

The experiment has come to a conclusion, so there is no need for the casino to continue.

Before leaving, Valensa exchanged the remaining chips for gold coins and found that her profit today was pretty good.

Even after excluding the nearly 30 gold coins she received as a reward for praise, she still had an income of nearly 20 gold coins.

No wonder, no matter in the past or present, there are always many people who have a soft spot for casinos... This is indeed a place where it is possible to get rich overnight.

However, huge returns often come with risks. Not everyone can use psychic power to strengthen luck like Valencia, so you still lose more than you win, and nine times out of ten you lose.

There are indeed people who get rich overnight, but more often they lose their entire family and have their wives and children separated.

Therefore, it is best for normal people to stay away from gambling. If they really have too much money and have nowhere to spend it, they can have fun, or if they are desperate and have to fight against the odds.

After coming out of Jiyunfang, Valencia's plan in Krall City was completed.

It was just after noon, so she decided to rush back to Serjin Town and personally participate in the preparations for the banquet two days later.

"Hey? Are you going back to Serjin Town today?"

Melina seems to have a different opinion:

"But with my walking speed, there's no way I can reach Serkin Town before dark, right? Even if you, Miss, are already a candlelight-level female knight, it will be dangerous to take me with you at night."

"Ok, I know."

Valencia smiled and said:

"So we're going to ride back so we can get there before dark."

"horse riding?"

Melina frowned even more:

"I know the eldest lady is very good at riding, but I just..."

"It's ok."

Valensa interrupted Melina directly and put her hand around her waist:

"When the time comes, let's ride a horse. Sister Melina, you can sit in my arms, just like this..."

"Hey~~?"

. . . . .

In the end, Melina couldn't make Valenza change her mind. She was held by her on the horseback for a bumpy ride, and returned to Serkin Town before dark.

After dropping Melina off in front of the Adventurer's Guild, Valensa went to the horse rental shop to return the horse. By the way, she also planned to go to the Nola Chamber of Commerce to see how the preparations for the banquet were going.

Because she had something on her mind and she was almost unguarded against Melina, Valensa was unable to see the strange look in Melina's eyes after she dismounted.

The eldest lady...she really likes girls.

After watching Valencia go away at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild, Melina was thoughtful.

No wonder the eldest lady has always been very resistant to marriage, and has even planned to escape from marriage since she was a child... This will explain everything.

Melina had actually guessed this a long time ago, but there was never any evidence.

After all, although Valencia has always been very cold towards aristocratic men of the same age, she does not have that kind of particularly close female friends...

No, there was still one in the past, the eldest lady of the Brittania family... but we haven't contacted her since she left the royal capital.

It is precisely because of this that Melina has never been sure of Valencia's true orientation... Even if Valensa confessed to her some time ago, she only thought Valensa was being coquettish and joking.

But the human body is the most honest. Recalling the bumpy ride on the horseback just now, Melina couldn't help but blush a little.

It was so good.

Not only can I use my abilities to help the eldest lady, but my body is also needed by the eldest lady... This is really great.

only……

After the sweetness and shyness, Melina frowned again.

The Earl has only one descendant left, the eldest lady... If the eldest lady likes girls, wouldn't the Earl who saved his life have to die?
