Chapter 361: The Trump Card of Vagrancy
"Or is it only the case in area No. 1? Why don't we go to other areas and take a look?"
Just as Lei Luo was about to leave, something happened. Little did he know that he had been closely watched ever since he stepped into the qualification gate.
When he received the news from the casino manager, Trump immediately opened a luxurious private room and invited a person in.
The decorations inside were extremely gorgeous.
They were all made by a famous art master, Kubel.
The design cost of each private room was more than 70,000 gold coins, and the Trump casino had more than 600 such private rooms.
From this, it could be seen how wealthy Trump was.
"What's the matter?" a middle-aged man said to Trump.
"Byron, I've found you an opponent. Are you interested?" Trump said to the mysterious gambler.
Five hundred years ago…
The emperor at that time, Victor, occasionally came to the royal casino to play in his spare time.
Victor played nine games at the same time with nine people.
Within sixteen hours, Victor won all the money of more than 400 super gamblers, until no one dared to step out of the ring.
Byron, who was only 28 years old, dared to step out of the ring.
The two of them played in the simplest way.
At the same time, it was the most competitive nine palace red-black formation.
The way of playing the red-black formation was very simple.
The dealer placed nine chess-sized pieces in nine bowls in advance, one side painted red, the other painted black alloy blocks.
After the two sides agreed on the bet, the banker opened the bowls one by one.
Before each bowl was opened, the idle family could place a bet.
The bet was whether each bowl was red or black.
If the idle family lost, the next bowl would be opened.
If the idle family won, the banker could adjust the color of the next bowl.
At the same time, the idle family could also request to open several bowls consecutively.
But the player has to guess all of them correctly to win.
After opening nine bowls, players had to compare the chips of both sides.
If the player loses, he loses the agreed bet.
If he wins, he wins double the bet.
This is the so-called red and white array, because it is arranged in advance, so the sizes of the dice are different.
The black and red array is predictable.
The premise is that you can see through the other party's mind.
At that time, Byron had placed a copper coin under the first eight bowls.
These eight copper coins were all lost without a doubt.
When he came to the last bowl of the red-black formation.
Byron did not hesitate to place all his bets, which was about one million gold coins.
He then won two million gold coins!
Byron was also famous for this battle. Hence, he was also known as "the unruly one who sees through people's hearts."
"Who is it?"
Byron's voice was very flat.
"Is it Griffith?"
"A nobody," Byron said after a moment of silence.
"Sure."
Trump smiled.
"You didn't even listen to his introduction, and you already agreed?"
"Back then, when you introduced Karlsted to me, you also said that he was a nobody."
Karlsted, Griffith, and Byron were also known as the three biggest gamblers in the world.
What they liked the most was to borrow other people's gambling cards to mingle around.
Therefore, they were also known as the "Trump Card of Vagrancy."
"Haha! I also accidentally bumped into it that time. As for this one now, although it's not Karlsted, I think it should be able to fight with you," Tran continued to say with a smile.
"This person debuted two years ago by borrowing other people's gambling cards. In these two years, he participated in more than 1,500 gambling games, and was promoted from a one-star gambling card to a five-star account."
"This isn't considered a great achievement," Byron said. "There are at least one billion people in the empire who can do it."
"Of course, but this person will change his gambling style every once in a while. According to the information we have gathered, he has changed his gambling style more than 30 times in the past two years. Up until now, we haven't been able to understand his gambling style and personality at all."
"Oh?" Byron's eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in the strangeness.
"A person who only wants to gamble, but doesn't care about winning or losing?"
Byron finally nodded. "Okay, I'll bet with him. But…I want to know…what's the bet?"
"There are 100,000 gold coins on this person's card."
"Don't play dumb. I mean, the bet between you and me."
Before Trump could finish his sentence, he heard Byron interrupt him.
"You don't look like a person who would give someone a free lunch."
"Between us?"
Trump revealed his signature honest smile.
"Byron, I think you should know that I'm—"
"I think I told you many years ago that I would never be anyone's subordinate."
Byron interrupted Tran again.
"You've misunderstood. I'm not asking you to be my subordinate. If you lose, I only need you to do me a favor. One day, when I need it, I hope you can return it to me."
Trump did not wait for Byron to interrupt.
He continued, "And if you win, this Tran Casino will be yours. I know that you've always wanted to have your own casino, but a five-star casino is not easy to open in the Empire."
Byron raised his head and looked at the Fat Man with a simple and honest smile in front of him.
On his ordinary face, his originally listless eyes suddenly burst out with a bright light.
If an ordinary person saw it, they would definitely be shaken.
However, Trump still had a simple and honest smile on his face.
"You seem to have a lot of confidence in him."
"Perhaps, it's just that I have too much expectation for you."
When Trump said this, his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled.
"This person… is here to collect the medical expenses for that down and out pirate, so he came here to gamble?"
After skimming through all the information that Tran handed over.
Seeing the information section of Katz, Byron asked this question.
"Maybe, who knows? You should know better than me," Trump said with a smile.
Byron didn't say anything more.
"Let's go."
Three minutes later, Lei Luo still hadn't decided where to sit.
A smiling man suddenly appeared beside him.
"Sir, do you think it's not eye-catching?"
Lei Luo looked this person up and down.
Just as he was about to ask a question, the smiling man said, "My name is Trump, and I own this little casino."
Although Lei Luo had studied hard day and night, he didn't know much about common things.
So he didn't know who Trump was.
He didn't look too surprised.
He just nodded. "Oh? What do you want?"
Trump looked at Lei Luo, and from his clothes and voice, he couldn't get any more information.
But he made his own judgment from Lei Luo's unhesitating answer.
Lei Luo was either an inexperienced teenager or a high-class man who didn't take him seriously at all.

Chapter 362: An Ominous Premonition
"There are a total of 100 halls in our Trump Casino. Each hall has 160 gambling tables. There are even 60 rooms for VIP players. However, in our casino, the Wind and Cloud Pavilion only has one. Wind and Cloud Pavilion opens once every three years. Today is exactly three years since the last time it opened."
Lei Luo touched his chin and said, "Don't tell me you want to invite me to the Wind and Cloud Pavilion?"
"If the Wind and Cloud Pavilion doesn't open, the wind and cloud showdown in these three years will end. As the owner of Trump Casino, I can't let others think that our Trump casino is so unpopular."
Lei Luo was silent for a while and asked, "Who is my opponent?"
"One of the Empire's three biggest gamblers, Byron," said Trump.
Lei Luo had been gambling for almost two years.
Lei Luo was not unfamiliar with the name Byron.
He was a legendary existence.
Therefore, even with Lei Luo's temperament, he could not help but be stunned when he heard this name.
Although he said that he was prepared to fight an expert, he felt that this expert was a little too big for him to take head-on.
"What's the matter? Sir, are you afraid of losing?" Trump asked with a smile. "I believe that you will win."
"Why do you believe that I will win?"
This time, Lei Luo really didn't understand.
Trump blinked his eyes and said with a smile, "It's very simple. Like you, I am also a gambler. Moreover, it's very likely that I like gambling more than you."
While Trump and Lei Luo were talking, Byron had been standing upstairs, quietly watching the two of them.
Standing beside him was his only student, Thor.
He had been with Byron since he was born and had been with him for twenty-five years.
Legend had it that Byron had taught Thor everything he had learned in one go.
But the strange thing was that for twenty-five years, Thor had never participated in any gambling games, either publicly or privately.
"This person…How do you feel about him?"
Byron tilted his head and asked his student.
"As early as a month ago, I've been paying attention to him. I've watched him in all his gambling games."
"It's not difficult to win money, and it's not difficult to lose money, but it's very difficult to win whenever you want and lose whenever you want, so much so that you have complete control over the entire gambling game."
"Even if he's facing a gambler who's much worse than him, it's the same."
Thor turned his face looked at Lei Luo, who was standing in the distance.
Then he continued, "However, it's not that he doesn't have a weakness."
"Oh? What do you think his weakness is?" Byron asked with interest.
"He doesn't have passion, nor does he have fanaticism. He has to be so persistent," Thor said lightly.
"If he is over thirty years old, then he is just a brilliant mediocre person. But if he is less than twenty years old—"
Thor was interrupted by Byron.
"My intuition tells me that he might be younger than you."
"That's impossible!" Thor shook his head almost immediately.
Byron shook his head and said, "When you started to pay attention to this person, I was also paying attention to him. Just like you, I was just browsing through the game as usual, but I soon became addicted to his gambling game. Other than being extremely calm, smart, and able to manipulate others to perfection, I also saw a kind of vitality in his gambling game. It was a kind of vitality that only belonged to young people. It was infinitely vigorous and filled with the desire to expand."
"If he's really younger than me…"
At this point, Thor couldn't help but turn his head and look at Lei Luo once again.
At this moment, Byron once again took over his words.
"Although the world is very big, it's still very small for true experts. If my guess is true, you'll meet sooner or later. He's either one of your closest comrades or one of your most outstanding enemies."
"Now you understand why I agreed to Trump's bet, right?"
The smile on Thor's face slowly faded, revealing an indescribable solemnity.
"Let's go into the pavilion. Later, you'll sit beside me. You must remember the entire process in your heart. This will be beneficial to your growth."
Thor did not say anything more. He just nodded and followed Byron into the already open Wind and Cloud Pavilion.
Not long after, the door opened again.
With Trump accompanying him, Lei Luo walked in.
Trump stood in the middle of the room and asked Byron with a smile. "Do you need me to introduce you?"
Byron shook his head and said, "It's better for gamblers to get to know each other at the gambling table. Do you agree?"
Lei Luo looked at Byron and Thor and nodded. "I agree."
With that, the two of them took their seats.
Thor sat behind Byron.
Trump sat behind Lei Luo.
"Since ancient times, gambling has been changing in all kinds of ways. However, the changes are always the same. The changes are at least superficial."
"I don't want to play with these boring portraits today. Let's play the most primitive red-black array. How about nine bowls to decide the winner?"
"Nine Palace black-red formation?"
Lei Luo recalled the game that Byron was famous for.
He was betting on the Nine Palace red-black formation!
That classic game had made Lei Luo think about it many times, and he couldn't put it down.
However, he didn't expect that he would have the chance to play against the person involved today.
It made people sigh.
"Byron seems to be nostalgic in reality."
It was said to be the easiest, but the red-black knight's formation was precisely the most difficult of all the gambling games.
And the reason for this was precisely because it was too simple.
It was so simple that there was no complicated data or information for you to calculate and analyze.
You could only rely on your intuition towards the atmosphere, your talent in gambling, and most importantly, your luck to win.
It could be said that this was also the weakest point for a gambler like Lei Luo, who had been training for a long time and relied on rational calculations.
"Maybe."
Byron smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
"What's the bet?"
"You have 100,000 gold coins on your gambling card. How about this—100,000 gold coins."
Upon hearing this, Lei Luo knew that the other party already knew a part of him.
This included his relationship with Katz as well as Katz's identity.
Everything that happened before his eyes, what he saw, what he heard, and what he felt—all of this gave Lei Luo a bad premonition.
Although this gamble had not yet begun, a faint sense of defeat had already risen in his heart.
It was as if he had already lost. This was the first time in the two years he had gambled that he had felt this way.
At a certain moment, Lei Luo even wanted to withdraw from this match.
But the thought only flashed through his mind.

Chapter 363: Unfair Bet
"Are you kidding me? How can I lose without a fight?"
Lei Luo thought as he knocked on the table with his right index and middle fingers.
As soon as he finished knocking, nine porcelain bowls appeared on the table.
Byron looked at Lei Luo, stretched out his right hand, and drew a word in front of him.
"Please place your bet."
There was no psychological analysis for the first round.
The simple probability of red and black was only 50-50.
Therefore, Lei Luo did not think too much about it. He turned around and asked Trump, "What is the lowest bet of Wind and Cloud Pavilion?"
"500 gold coins," Trump answered.
Lei Luo frowned slightly.
Without any hesitation, he threw down the chips that represented 500 gold coins.
"Black."
"Your luck doesn't seem too good."
Byron smiled and opened the porcelain bowl, revealing a red round black iron plate.
"Judging things on the first try, this doesn't seem like a good omen."
This was a psychological tactic that Lei Luo was familiar with—using words to disrupt the other party's train of thought.
Lei Luo was already familiar with this tactic, so he didn't care.
He sat upright on the chair and answered, "As long as a person is able to bet correctly ten times in a row, he will be the best in the world. What's so great about making a mistake once?"
Lei Luo's words made Byron laugh.
"Please place the second bet."
This time, Lei Luo did not place his bet so quickly.
He began to think.
But after thinking for a long time, he still could not come to a conclusion.
The reason was simple. There were too few directions to choose from.
It was either red or black.
No matter how precise the calculation and speculation, in such a black or red world, it was futile.
At this time, if one wanted to know for sure what color was under the porcelain bowl.
There was only one way, and that was to look into Byron's heart.
But when he really came to this person in front of him, he found that he only needed to understand Byron's motives as if he were a stranger to him.
Lei Luo does not know what his heart is thinking.
In such a daze, Lei Luo shook his head.
He once again put 500 gold coins of chips.
His bet was still black.
This method of placing bets seemed extremely mediocre. Even the most ordinary gambler would probably do this.
However, at this moment, Lei Luo could only place this bet.
This bet made him feel very depressed.
"The truth is painful, but the truth is still the truth."
Byron smiled again and opened the porcelain bowl.
It was still a conspicuous red inside.
Lei Luo silently looked at the second red iron plate and did not speak for a long time.
Gamblers were divided into two types. One was betting according to reason and logic.
The other was betting according to his own feelings.
There was no doubt that Lei Luo was the former.
He could not allow himself to act according to his own impulses.
Therefore, although his intuition told him that he should bet red, he did not listen. He chose another way.
After thinking for a long time, Lei Luo took out six gold chips, each of which was worth 500 gold coins.
He put down all six chips.
Then he said, "Please open all the third to eighth bowls, I bet all on black."
If each bowl was opened, there was a 50 percent chance that each bowl would be red or black.
But the chance of six bowls expelling black at the same time was less than 2 percent.
It was a simple probability.
It didn't seem very clever.
But in this environment, it was the best way that Lehrer could find with his logic.
But the result was different.
Lei Luo saw Byron's smile again.
He smiled and opened the remaining porcelain bowls one by one until there was only one left.
"Even though the probability of this happening is less than 2%, once it happens, the blow to you is still 100%."
Six red lights appeared in front of Lei Luo's eyes again.
What rang in his ears were Byron's philosophical and somewhat mocking words.
At this moment, Lei Luo had a very deep feeling of being controlled by someone.
He began to regret it.
He regretted that he went there in the first place.
'This has been an unfair gamble from the start,' Lei Luo thought to himself.
"From the opponent, the gambling venue, the gambling method, and even the lowest bet amount, I have been led by the nose by others. The opponent already had the advantage from the start, so how can I win?"
Just as Lei Luo was pondering on his fate, Byron seemed to see through his new life.
He smiled and placed the eight golden chips back in front of Lei Luo.
"Any smart gambler knows that the outcome of a gamble does not depend on the gambling table, but on the outside. The secret to winning a gamble is never to defeat a powerful opponent, but to pick an opponent that is easy to defeat. This is also the so-called gambler's strategy, so you have lost from the beginning. Young Man, you should go back. You and I will consider it a draw."
Lei Luo lowered his head and stared at the eight chips that had been returned in front of him in silence.
It was an incomparable silence.
They seemed to be able to hear each other's breathing.
It even gave people a strange illusion.
"Time is so eternal, and the world is so big. No matter how many years have passed, we are still only humans. How can we put everything under our control?" Lei Luo said this and gently pushed the chips back.
"But if we give up just because of this, then what's the difference between it and the dust on the ground?"
Lei Luo's words stunned everyone present.
The smiles on Trump, Byron, and Thor's faces slowly disappeared.
They each revealed a different body.
Trump had an expression that should have been like this.
Thor's thoughts were exceptionally profound and solemn.
Byron, on the other hand, was slightly surprised as he lamented.
Lei Luo pushed out all his chips.
"60,000 gold coins, I'll bet all on black!"
Byron sat there, his face facing Lei Luo.
The two of them looked at each other.
This situation was really strange.
But Thor, who was beside Byron, didn't find it funny.
The expression on his face was even more serious than before.
On the other hand, Trump, who was sitting behind Lei Luo, smiled even more brightly than before.
Finally, Byron sighed. "You win."
Lei Luo stretched out his hand, wanting to open the porcelain bowl, but was gently blocked by Byron's hand.
"Leave some face for the old man, young man."
Lei Luo's hand paused for a moment, then he turned his head to look at Trump, who was behind him.
At this time, Trump stood up with a smile.
"Katz, two hundred thousand gold coins are already on your gambling card. But are you really called Katz? Anyway, that is no longer important."
"I'm leaving."
Lei Luo didn't say anything more and left the Trump Casino.

Chapter 364: The Battle of Karlan
After leaving the Trump Casino, Lei Luo gave the gambling card to Katz.
Katz did not say much about Lei Luo's favor.
He only said one sentence.
"Although I have failed so many years, one day, I will prove that I am not a useless person."
Because his mind was immersed in the gamble just now, Lei Luo didn't have time to think about the hidden meaning behind Katz's words.
After Lei Luo returned to Utopia Manor, he crossed his legs.
With his hands on his knees, his body straightened and his eyes closed, and he gradually withdrew his scattered attention.
Lei Luo had learned this method from watching Mellie do it when he was young.
After sitting like this for about three minutes, Lei Luo's mind calmed down slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Habacca standing in front of him.
Habacca looked at Lei Luo with eyes filled with relief, joy, and a little reluctance.
"Teacher…"
Lei Luo stood up and held Habacca's hand.
He was about to say something, but he was stopped by Habacca.
"Let's go, Teacher is waiting for you."
Lei Luo sighed helplessly and followed behind Habacca.
The white flower on the tree in front of Mellie's door bloomed again.
A gentle breeze blew, sending a faint, indescribable fragrance.
It made people feel as if they were in a state of silence in the void, as if everything in the past had been forgotten.
At this moment, Mellie was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
She was leaning against an ancient tree with her eyes closed, quietly smelling the fragrance of the flowers.
"Coming."
When she sensed that Lei Luo was coming, Meryl opened her eyes.
"Okay."
Lei Luo quietly came to Mellie's side and sat down.
"You should know why I called you here, right?"
Mellie smelled it.
"Yes, but I don't think I'm strong enough… I think…"
"If you want to fly into the sky without a pair of wings, it's just a waste of effort. But if you still want to stay in the nest with a pair of good wings, you'll degenerate into a poultry."
As Mellie said this, she looked at Lei Luo.
"Although it's only been four years, I've basically taught you everything that Habacca and I can teach you. The current you, sunshine, is cunning when necessary…kind, but insidious when necessary…normal, but shameless when necessary. Of course, you still have many flaws and imperfections, but this is no longer something that can be improved through teaching. You must go into the vast world and improve yourself."
Mellie pointed at a crystal ball that did not exist in the room.
This crystal ball was a spell.
It simulated the environment of the "Battle of Karlan."
The Battle of Karlan was one of the most important battles in Emperor Victor's life.
It was through this battle that Emperor Victor unified the seventh interstellar administrative region.
It was now the 72nd to 83rd interstellar administrative region.
At that time, there were a total of four forces in this region: Pirate King Selklev, Black Sea Mercenary Association, Manlan United Trust, and Emperor Victor.
"This is the simulation magic of the Battle of Karlan. In the past history, the entire battle took a total of three years from preparation to completion. You can enter the body of Emperor Lucifer through this crystal ball. You can freely adjust the simulation environment and progress, but you only have two weeks to complete it."
Mellie stood up as she spoke.
"During this time, you stay in the room. I will get someone to bring you food and water."
Lei Luo did not say anything because he knew that it was useless to say anything.
After Mellie left the room, Lei Luo immediately dived into the simulation environment that Mellie had set for him.
He began to fully understand all the data and information, such as military data and economic data, as well as the potential data of each city.
The surrounding environment of the forces, the personality of the main commanders, and so on.
This time, Lei Luo didn't dare to be negligent, nor did he dare to be anxious.
He only activated this magic crystal after understanding it for a whole week.
This magic would completely restore the war from more than a thousand years ago.
There were many details, but in general, there were four main forces in this area: The Pirate King, Selklev, the Black Sea Mercenary Association, Manlan United Trust, and Emperor Victor.
Of the four forces, Selklev's military strength was the strongest.
According to calculations, he accounted for about 45% of the total military strength.
What made him fearful was his personal guards, with his 8,000 heavy armored cavalry as the core.
Besides Selklev, the strongest military strength was Emperor Victor.
His military strength accounted for about 25%.
Next was Manlan United Trust, which was about 20%.
The worst was the Black Sea Mercenary Association, which was about 10%.
After the magic of the Crystal Ball was activated, the time was fixed at a thousand years ago. According to the rules, he had to complete the entire battle within three years.
In just three short years, the strength of the major forces would not have any fundamental changes during this period.
And with the current military strength of Emperor Victor, it was impossible to unify the world by force.
Lei Luo was very clear about this.
So he spent a lot of time studying the internal environment of his opponent.
Selklev was the strongest, so he was definitely the first target to be killed.
The Black Sea mercenary group was the weakest, so they could be annexed.
But even if they succeeded in annexing it, their strength still couldn't surpass Selklev's.
Moreover, they also needed time to digest it.
After digesting it, they still needed to destroy the strength of the other two. These three years were absolutely not enough.
Therefore, the Black Sea mercenary group must be used to form an alliance.
Lei Luo found an important point regarding the Manlan United Trust.
It was controlled by the council of elders.
To put it bluntly, it was actually a noble system, but it was also a business alliance with economic interests as the primary goal.
After thinking through these three things, Lei Luo began to make all kinds of preparations, such as the deployment of the army, assigning the troops on the front line, and the allocation of grains.
Even diplomatic envoys and various secret emissaries were sent out continuously.
After the preparations were completed, Lei Luo began to make his move.
He first sold some armaments, war horses, and various commodities at a low price at the Star Trade Center.
He raised a huge sum of money, totaling up to 200 million gold coins,
This sum was almost twice the income of all the cities under Emperor Victor during his time.

Chapter 365: Surprise Attack on the Capital
Lei Luo used the money to bribe several great elders of Manlan United Trust.
He reached an alliance of attack and defense with them.
They also agreed to attack the Black Sea mercenary association together.
Because the capital was really big enough, Manlan United Trust agreed to all the requests.
They immediately sent troops to the capital of the Black Sea Mercenary Association.
Such a huge army was naturally impossible to keep as a secret.
After receiving this news, the Black Sea Mercenary Association immediately asked for help from Selklev.
Selklev also immediately sent troops to support them.
However, the Black Sea mercenary group said that in order to obtain reinforcements, they were willing to pay a huge amount of war aid.
However, they said that the army that asked Selklev to help defend their capital should not exceed 70% of their strength and that more troops should be used to attack the back of Emperor Victor and Manlan United Trust.
History also proved that Selklev did exactly as he was told.
During this period of time, Lei Luo had been staying in the magic environment of the Crystal Ball.
Emperor Victor's army and Manlan United Trust's army had already started their attack according to Lei Luo's plan.
All the armies were approaching the capital of the Black Sea Mercenary Guild at full speed.
The reason why they chose this place was that Lei Luo looked at the map of the entire continent.
He discovered that there was a small mountain range on the way to the Black Sea Mercenary Guild.
The entire mountain range was the key to this battle.
It was in this small mountain range that Emperor Victor's army and Manlan United Trust's army under Lei Luo's command were ambushed.
The ambushers were the Black Sea Mercenary Guild and the reinforcements from Selklev.
Caught off guard, the Manlan United Trust army was thrown into chaos.
In an instant, the losses were huge.
However, under the command of Lei Luo, the imperial army strangely maintained a complete formation.
Moreover, they cleverly escaped the occupation, and the Manlan United Trust Army had to fight alone.
When the Manlan and Vitos armies lost more than 50% of their forces, Lei Luo commanded the Victor Imperial Army to return to the battlefield.
However, it was not to support the Manlan and Vitos armies.
It was to attack both Selklev's reinforcements and the Manlan and Vitos armies at the same time.
The best part was that at this time, the Black Sea Mercenary Guild's armies also attacked both armies at the same time.
This was an attack without any warning.
Manlan, along with Velas and Selklev's army, did not expect the situation to turn out like this.
After a bitter battle, they announced their surrender.
The entire battle process did not take more than twelve days in the crystal ball.
On the other hand, it took Lei Luo only four hours to command this war.
After the war ended, the surrendered army was immediately brought to the capital of the Black Sea Mercenary Guild for reorganization.
There, there were tens of millions of soldiers and assistive personnel arranged by Lei Luo.
In the crystal ball simulation environment, it was within a short 30 days.
In reality, it all happened in less than an hour.
All the surrendered troops and armaments were obtained by Emperor Victor and the Black Sea Mercenary Association.
After this battle, Manlan and Vitos lost almost 60% of their strength.
The remaining troops could only protect themselves.
Selklev lost almost one-sixth of his army.
However, the strength of Emperor Victor and the Black Sea Mercenary Association didn't weaken. Instead, it increased greatly.
It was only enough time for the strength of the four sides to change greatly.
The combined forces of Emperor Victor and the Black Sea mercenary association had already surpassed Selklev's strength.
The scariest thing was that Selklev still thought that his army was defending the Black Sea Mercenary Association.
This was the key point of the entire battle.
That was the speed of the information!
Lei Luo had checked the facts. According to the speed at that time, it would take at least twelve days for the information to reach Selklev.
During this time, they would have to use various sealing spells and various intelligence networks to confuse the information.
But at most, it would not take more than 12 days.
Lei Luo commanded the army of Emperor Victor and the people who surrendered.
It took them three days to reorganize.
After four days, Lei Luo commanded the coalition army to attack Selklev's capital.
For this battle, Lei Luo brought almost all the magic crystals he could collect to replenish the mana of the magicians and to use large-scale teleportation magic circles.
Lei Luo knew that at this time, speed was everything!
While maintaining his basic combat strength, Lei Luo desperately used the teleportation magic circles to attack!
He only used six days to use more than 20 large-scale teleportation magic circles.
In total, ever since the war started until Emperor Victor's army appeared in Selklev's capital, only ten days had passed!
This meant that Selklev didn't have any extra time to react.
He didn't notice the magic fluctuations until he was teleported around the capital.
The two armies he sent out attacked Emperor Victor and Manlan.
The closest army to him needed thirty days to receive his order to retreat.
The earliest they could return was fourteen days.
When they returned seventeen days later, the war was over.
The retreating army had no other choice but to surrender.
When the husband who commanded the United Army appeared in the capital, he found that the strength of the enemy's army was much stronger than they had expected.
The mages and swordsmen in their capital were on Selklev's side. It was as they had thought. Lei Luo, who had been very nervous, also broke out in a sweat.
However, he still believed that he could easily win.
However, after that, a strange phenomenon occurred to Lei Luo when the two armies faced each other and officially engaged in battle
At first, everything went smoothly.
But when the army came into contact with the personal guards of the demon warriors that Selklev personally commanded, the situation suddenly changed.
Selklev, who was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, actually dared to directly command his personal guards.
He launched a surprise attack on Emperor Victor, who had a million generals.
And at this time, the morale of Emperor Victor's army, which was high, suddenly fell into a complete disadvantage.
Selklev's personal guards, regardless of their morale or fighting will, including the coordination of the various troops, had reached a perfect state.
This sudden burst of fighting strength was impossible to estimate.
This situation made Lei Luo dumbfounded. "This is impossible…"
He didn't believe that Selklev's commanding ability would improve so much in an instant.
At this point, however, it was too late for Lei Luo.
He had to react immediately.

Chapter 366: God-made Equipment
Lei Luo first adjusted the time to one-to-one, then he desperately began to mobilize troops.
He armed his troops with magic. This was the latest technology—combining magic and machinery!
He included all the magic warriors.
The cavalry, the dragon knights, and the magic beast troops were all sent out.
All the troops were formed into thirteen layers of joint defense.
Just as Selklev's personal guards were about to rush to the 10th floor, Lei Luo suddenly remembered that he had a 14-year-old attendant under his command.
This person was called Goethe Lyman.
If he remembered correctly, this guy nicknamed the Black Knight was the Empire's second-in-command.
Although he was only 14 years old and all his abilities were completely unsearchable, it does not matter.
Lei Luo immediately deployed Goethe Lyman as the commander of the 11th defense line.
Finally, Goethe Lyman's expedition brought a clear result after fighting with all his strength.
At the cost of Goethe Lyman's death, Lei Luo blocked the attack of Selklev.
He finally won the battle.
When the battle ended, the magic crystal ball also shattered.
Lei Luo sat on the ground in disbelief.
"According to this situation, these 50,000 people must be commanded by one person to be so orderly…But it's impossible. In Selklev's camp, the strongest person is himself. His commanding ability isn't that strong. At most, he can only personally command ten thousand people. Furthermore, his combat ability isn't that strong."
At this moment, Mellie walked in from outside the door.
"Do you want to know why his combat ability is so strong?"
"Why?"
"Because he used the god-made equipment, the war god."
"God-made equipment? But I have no idea."
After half a month of battle, Lei Luo had been completely immersed in the battle, so he was a little emotional.
"Because Emperor Victor didn't know about this news before he launched this battle."
Mellie's answer was very calm.
"You suffered a great loss, but you performed well, almost at the same level as Emperor Victor."
"Why?"
"The only difference between you and Emperor Victor is that you let Goethe Lyman go on when the tenth layer of defense was broken through. And Emperor Lucifer only went on after Goethe Lyman's brother, the commander of his most trusted guards, died. You at least let Goethe Lyman die in place of his brother. Other than that, your model is almost exactly the same."
"Teacher, you should know what the god-made weapon is, right? Can you tell me about it?"
This was what Mellie wanted to tell Lei Luo.
During the god generation, humans had learned forging techniques from the gods.
Humans had always been imitating them, although there was no lack of good weapons.
But no matter what, they couldn't be compared to the weapons of gods.
This was because divine weapons contained divinity, and they were also known as divine weapons.
The gods left behind some divine weapons in the human world.
Those who had these divine weapons would receive a considerable increase in their abilities.
And the god of war was such a weapon.
It was a sword, and it was also the god of war's weapon.
With this sword commanding the army, the army would be able to unleash its strongest fighting strength.
That was the will of the god of war!
Later on, in history, the weapon fell into the hands of Goethe Lyman.
He once used the old, weak, and disabled of the 100,000 reserve troops to withstand the fierce attack of the 600,000 magic guide troops of the famous general maverick for three months.
Thus, the strength of this army was enough to determine the outcome of the main battlefield.
Until the end, they were unable to join the "white orchid battle" that decided the fate of the world at that time.
And at that time, Goethe Lyman had used the "deity armed wargod."
"Teacher, what exactly does the deity armed wargod look like?"
"It's a sword, but it's a very special sword, and it has a very ordinary sword."
"What does this mean?"
"The power of this sword is so powerful. However, I've seen with my own eyes how Goethe Lyman used the deity-made equipment on the wargod when he was at his peak…"
"On the surface, that sword looks like a cross-shaped sword. Moreover, it seems to be two swords, and it's the same sword."
"What does that mean?"
"I can't describe it. You'll understand when you see it with your own eyes. However, if you're not the one who uses this sword, you'd better avoid it."
Mellie sighed.
"If Goethe Lyman used the god of war after he killed Emperor Victor, then the twelve kings of the Alliance Army wouldn't be able to defeat him."
When Mellie said this, she let out a long sigh.
Then, she shook her head.
She didn't continue.
"Teacher, are you with Goethe Lyman…"
Before Lei Luo could finish, Mellie immediately said, "I don't know him…"
When Lei Luo saw how excited Mellie was, he quickly shut his mouth.
He thought to himself, 'There must be a connection.'
"Do you know where the deity armed god of war is now?" Mellie asked after calming down.
Lei Luo knew that Mellie would not ask such a question for no reason.
Hence, he immediately became very interested.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Mellie, waiting for an answer.
"The deity armed god is now hidden in the imperial palace, but that is only an empty shell. The most important 'sword slot' is no longer on that sword."
As Mellie said this, she sat there silently for a long time.
After a long while, she slowly stood up.
Then, she took out a cross from her clothes.
This cross looked very ancient.
It seemed to have traveled through thousands of years of time.
"This is the god-made equipment, war god."
Hearing Mellie say this, Lei Luo almost instinctively wanted to ask, "Why is the god-made armed god of war in your hands?"
But in the end, Lei Luostill did not have the courage to ask this question.
"Isn't the god-made armed god of war a sword? How did it become a cross?"
Lei Luo had just finished speaking.
The surface of the cross suddenly flashed with light.
As if a tree had suddenly grown up, an illusory shadow was projected from the cross.
The illusory shadow turned out to be a woman—a beautiful woman.
No matter how you looked at it, her appearance, temperament, and figure were perfect…so much so that she was just an illusory shadow. However, it still made Leroy feel a sudden sense of loss.

Chapter 367: The Sorcerer
"This…This is…"
"In the entire world, only she knows where the deity armed wargod is."
"How can I make him tell me the whereabouts of the deity armed wargod?"
"This crusader has a special device. It recognizes its master. When it picks up the crusader, it will constantly give you all kinds of missions and tests."
"After you complete each type of test and mission, she will show you the progress bar. When the progress bar reaches 100%, she will tell you the whereabouts of the deity armed wargod."
"Teacher, I really want to know how much you have completed?"
"60%."
Lei Luo was surprised, but it also made him think seriously.
"Are you sure that I can make this progress bar reach 100%?"
"It's not hard for me to be sure, but I'm looking forward to seeing you."
Lei Luo raised his head.
He gazed longingly at the perfect woman.
Lying in the void, he couldn't help but mutter.
"If only she were real."
"Bastard!"
When he saw Lei Luo's expression, Mellie suddenly flew into a rage.
Lei Luo didn't understand why Mellie was so angry, so he quickly raised his head and didn't say a word.
"I've already arranged for a carriage. The carriage will arrive in an hour. I've already helped you pack your things. It's time for you to venture into the outside world."
"Teacher, I…"
Mellie suddenly said, "Don't make a wrong judgment. I didn't make this decision because you angered me, but because of another reason. Lei Luo, what do you think of the current empire?"
Lei Luo said without thinking, "Without a doubt, the chaotic world is about to arrive."
"From today onwards, how long do you think the world will be in chaos?"
"Although the 'Dark Knight' riot was very short, the intensity of the war was unprecedented."
"Moreover, it was an internal conflict. The dukes were not prepared, so they could only bring their own personal guards."
"Everyone went to the front line in person."
"Even though the Dukes went to the battle formation in person, they would have all kinds of protection."
"But things were rushed, and the war was in full swing. It was impossible for the dukes to not be affected by all kinds of magic."
"In a hundred years, half of the princes and princes have died, and that is proof."
"I don't think the rest of the princes will last more than a few years."
"Dukes and kings are not affected by the law of succession, all the first sons of the first wife to inherit the throne."
"This method is peaceful and has a magic heritage, so it's not that bad."
"However, the present chaotic world is coming, and to be able to sit on such a high-dimensional arena, what is needed is not only the strong, but also the exceptionally strong."
"Based on this standard, I'm afraid that none of these new dukes are qualified."
"Moreover, among their brothers and sisters, there is no lack of heaven-gifted talents. In addition, there are so many cases of father and son killing each other and brothers killing each other in order to seize the throne in the Empire."
"I believe that it won't be long before there are people who can't stand the loneliness."
"When that time comes, the world will be completely thrown into chaos."
"Such an acid. If my guess is correct, it will still take another ten years for the world to fall into chaos. It will probably take another thirty years for the world to completely collapse."
For so many years, while Lei Luo was learning by himself, he was also continuously understanding the changes in the empire's general situation.
Hence, when he heard Mellie's question, he immediately began to speak with assurance.
However, who knew that just as he finished speaking…
He heard Mellie sigh softly.
"With your intelligence, if you had stayed in the circle of commoners for a longer period of time, you probably wouldn't have thought this way."
Lei Luo listened attentively.
"In fact, there are already signs of unrest in the upper echelons of the nobles. This person with insight in the upper echelons knows that everyone is also making preparations."
"But what they don't know is that compared to the unrest of the nobles, the unrest in the lower echelons of the empire is even more terrifying."
"Teacher, are you talking about the commoners?"
Lei Luo shook his head disapprovingly.
"The qualities of the commoners are extremely limited. The knowledge and magic that they can come into contact with are all restricted to the point of death."
"Although there have been many incidents of commoners revolting since the establishment of the empire, there has never been a single one that could cause any major waves."
"Because the difference in power between mages and commoners is too great, and the difference between humans is too great. I don't think that relying on commoners can change the universe."
"You're right, but you have to know that there is no lack of geniuses among the commoners. There is no lack of world-shaking geniuses among the talents of the empire."
"Besides these, there is another very important reason, and that is the demon contract."
"If it is difficult to obtain great power by relying on one's own talent and cultivation, but if one signs a contract with a demon, one can instantly become powerful. However, as a price, the soul after death will belong to the demon."
"Apart from that, this world is actually very big. Not only is magic the only way to become stronger, if one can recruit all these powerful people, one can also become an overlord."
"But the empire is too vast. These people are spread across the 11 provinces of the empire. Some are pirates, some are hermits, and some may even be ordinary farmers."
"To collect these people is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's easier said than done."
Although these were words from Mellie herself, Lei Luo still felt that the loophole was too big.
Thus, he also argued.
"Searching one by one will naturally exhaust them to death, but how do you know that they won't gather together by themselves?"
"Let them gather together? Just because of a commoner uprising?"
"No, the people who can cause a world storm aren't commoners."
"Although they suffer discrimination, they can still live on. Only those who have nothing, other than pain, and who have nothing to lose, are enough to cause a world storm that will change everything!"
"You mean…the magic conductor?"
Lei Luo suddenly thought of this and suddenly opened his eyes as if he had thought of something.
The magic conductor was a "newcomer" created by Magic Technology.
This was a human that was created entirely by magic and alchemy.
They were like puppets from the beginning. They were without consciousness.
They gradually applied magic control and advanced with alchemy materials.
They became people with learning ability and complete intelligence.
This kind of person created by magic and alchemy was also known as a magic conductor.
This technology was also one of the achievements of the development of magic conductor technology.
The status of a magic conductor was almost the same as a slave, and they were also the most loyal and useful soldiers on the battlefield.
Although most of them were used as cannon fodder, their advantage was that they could quickly create replicas.
The loss of a batch would create more and more magic guides.
This kind of war technology and labor force would be created infinitely by one magic guide, and it would be ultimately useful. Even some merchants who sold magic guides would make a fortune out of it.

Chapter 368: Leave the Manor
"There are too many magic conductors. Due to the continuous wars in the empire, as well as the promotion of the various warlords and corporations, the number of magic conductors has already reached 80% of the empire's population."
"What! 80% of the people in our empire are magic conductors?"
When Lei Luo heard this news, he was also very shocked.
He didn't dare to believe it.
That was to say, eight out of ten people walking around on the streets were magic conductors.
"So you can understand. Most of the magic conductors are slaves, and slaves are the main labor force of this empire. It can be said that our empire is a slave empire, and all the slaves added up may be more than 90%."
"This means…"
Lei Luo suddenly thought of something and widened his eyes.
"You're right! There are too many slaves! There are too many sorcerers! When they all awaken and are twisted into a rope, it can be imagined how much shock it will cause!"
"I'm afraid the entire empire will fall apart."
Lei Luo sighed.
"That's right, that's why the empire is about to collapse."
"The empire was built because of the war, but the world is still so big. When you have no more places to conquer, you can't keep adding new slaves, and you keep using magic to create magic conductors. And all the nobles and civilians are gathered in a few huge cities."
"This means that the ordinary people are being surrounded. They are surrounded by 80% of the magic conductors in those big cities."
"And if someone can make use of these magic conductors, then how can this less than 20% of the human population resist the attack of 80% of the magic conductors?"
"But it's not easy to gather all the magic conductors, is it?" Lei Luo said.
"It's not easy, but it's not difficult either. After all, they are slaves. As long as there is inequality, there will be resistance."
"Are you saying that someone has already done that?"
Lei Luo turned around and looked at Mellie in shock.
Mellie answered nonchalantly, "If it were me, if I wanted to reshuffle the Empire and establish my own hegemony, then I would do it… even if it's someone from within the empire, who wouldn't want to reorganize the empire after Emperor Victor?"
Lei Luo raised his head.
His left hand was placed on his lap.
His right hand was about to clench into a fist.
But halfway through, he loosened his grip.
"Teacher, in your opinion, how many years do I have?"
"How many years?"
Mellie reached out and patted Lei Luo's thick shoulder.
"Lei Luo, someone who wants to rise in troubled times shouldn't be as optimistic as you. From now on, the time you have can only be counted in days."
"Teacher, what do you want me to do?"
"No, you're wrong. You shouldn't be asking us this," Mellie said. "You should be asking yourself. But I personally think that no matter what you want in the future, when the chaotic world comes, you need to be strong yourself. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk."
As Mellie spoke, she handed a letter to Lei Luo.
"This is Habacca's money from Morton Trading Company. Take it. The money isn't much. I hope it can help you."
At this time, there was no need to be polite.
Lei Luo reached out and took the envelope.
"As for the cross system, I've already opened it for you. You can take a look at that cross."
Lei Luo took the cross into his hands.
He saw that on the surface of the cross, a progress bar appeared.
"This crusader has already been activated for you. It will choose to test you at the appropriate time. When you pass all of its tests and progress to 100%, you will be able to obtain the deity-made equipment, the wargod."
Lei Luo nodded and remained seated on the spot.
"The carriage is about to arrive. Go back to your room and see if you have anything to take away. Once you are ready, you can leave."
"I understand. where is Teacher Habacca?"
"He went fishing. You don't have to say goodbye to him. He has never liked the scene of saying goodbye."
"Teacher, then I have to leave. I don't know when I will be able to see him again. Do you have anything else to say to me?"
At this moment, in the face of the situation in the empire…
Everything was a little urgent.
There was no need to be so wishy-washy.
Lei Luo also asked Mei Li this question after some thought.
"Remember, once you step out of this manor, you must be prepared at all times."
"Yes."
"Your every word and action will be watched by others. Therefore, don't think that any action or sentence can escape surveillance. You must know how to hide yourself."
"I know. I will know how to protect myself. Anything else, Teacher?"
"Go find a woman to love. It will be good for you."
He sat cross-legged on the ground as if he had thought it over carefully.
That was what Mellie said.
Lei Luo nodded his head as if he understood something.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves approached from outside.
"Go," Mellie said.
Lei Luo bowed respectfully to Mellie.
After all, this was the teacher who had taught and raised him for eighteen years.
More words were said.
Lei Luo left the room and sat in the carriage heading to the Utopia Manor.
The first place he was going to was a city called Xida City.
Xida City mainly relied on a magic crystal mine to carry out import and export trade.
Magic crystal mines were a very high-intensity source of magic power.
They could be repeatedly compressed, refined, crystallized, and finally purified to a relatively high level of pure magic power.
Currently, there were only tens of thousands of magic crystal mines in the entire empire, and there were only hundreds of high-purity magic crystal mines.
Although humans had mastered the technology to extract magic power from magic crystal mines.
This technology was extremely complicated.
The principle and the difficulty of the operation made it so that only a few core members of the powerful alliance could extract mana from the Magic Crystal Mine, and the Magic Crystal Mine was also the most important energy source for the magic conducting technology.
All magic conducting equipment, magic conducting weapons, magic conducting cannonballs, and magic conducting spells.
Even the magic conductors could not do without the magic crystal mine.
It could be said that the magic crystal mines had facilitated the development of magical technology.
Therefore, the magic crystal mines were also regarded as the most important strategic resources by the various alliances.
They were all hoarded by each other.
It was also because of the magic crystal mines, which could produce magic power, that they became even more valuable than the empire's currency itself.
It was also the magic crystal coins that were only circulated among a few nobles.
However, this kind of currency was rarely circulated on the market.
And Xida City had three extremely rare high-purity magic crystal ore veins.
It was also the only city under the jurisdiction of the governor that could automatically refine magic crystals.
Hence, Xida City had unique conditions, which made it the largest trading center in the third administrative region.

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Lei Luo slammed into someone.
Lei Luo looked up and saw that he had hit a burly man who was a full head taller than him.
He was dressed in tattered adventurer clothes and wore a few broken armor pieces.
Lei Luo was about to say he was sorry. He looked up at the brawny man and noticed that the man's arms were crossed and he was glaring down at him.
His eyes were looking down at him from a 45-degree angle.
"Do you have five silver coins on you?"
"I've long heard that there are people in the city pretending to be refugees to beg. So it's true."
Lei Luo thought so and smiled at him with a friendly shrug.
He wanted to go around and walk away.
The brawny man took a step to the side and blocked Lei Luo.
He put the huge palm in front of Lei Luo's eyes and clenched it tightly.
He continued to ask, "Do you have five silver coins on you?"
Lei Luo had been in Utopia Farm for a long time and hadn't translated it yet.
But after a while, Lei Luo suddenly understood.
He pointed at the brawny man with a sudden realization. "Oh? You're blackmailing me?"
After understanding the situation, he reacted as quickly as possible.
This was the idea instilled in Lei Luo since he was a young boy, and at this time, it was an instinct that had been trained in him for many years.
Lei Luo immediately retreated to the side, then he took out a dagger from his waist.
He threw it at the strong man's thigh.
"PFFT!"
Fresh blood flowed out of the man's thigh.
The strong man screamed and agreed to it.
"You…why do you have a dagger?"
The brawny man roared as he lay on the ground.
Although he was not at the point of death yet, the brawny man felt as if he had died with his eyes wide open.
He hugged his thighs with both hands and looked at Lei Luo in shock.
As a normal person, his shock was understandable.
According to the empire's laws, no commoner was allowed to carry weapons.
However, according to the laws of the empire, weapons that could not be carried were so-called lethal weapons.
They were magic items.
Things like daggers were not within the jurisdiction of the law.
The reason was very simple.
It was because a powerful warrior and a commoner's physical fitness were too different.
As long as a warrior trained slightly, ordinary people would not be able to kill him with a dagger.
Even if it was hard to harm the soldiers, it would be even harder to harm the elite nobles.
However, a dagger was a weapon that couldn't harm the soldiers and the warriors who were stronger than the soldiers, but it was enough to threaten the civilians who hadn't been trained and learned enough.
The dagger was placed in Lei Luo's luggage by Habacca.
Lei Luo knew these rules.
So when he made his move, he didn't hesitate at all.
After stabbing him in the thigh with the dagger, Lei Luo was about to leave.
The strong man sat on the ground with his arms crossed.
Just as he was lamenting his bad luck, he suddenly saw Lei Luo walking back.
He looked at what Lei Luo had in his hand.
No way!
This was clearly a door!
The burly man turned his head again and saw a church ten meters away.
The nun was standing in front of the church with her mouth agape.
A huge foreboding came over him.
The burly man's instinct told him that it was best for him to run away now.
He wanted to do so too, but the problem was that he couldn't move one leg at all.
And the following scene was very tragic that it didn't need to be described.
A two-meter-tall brawny man with white hands and hair and curled up on the ground was held by an expressionless guy holding half of the church's door.
He was beaten up for more than half an hour.
The people beside him thought that they had killed their father.
"What's going on in this world?"
"The public security is so bad."
"He's being blackmailed in the city! Seriously…"
Lei Luo was so tired that he was panting. He threw the door to the side.
He shook his head.
Originally, Lei Luo was blackmailed. He should be the one who was justified.
But the onlookers knew that the poor man who was covered in blood only wanted five silver coins.
They all showed sympathetic expressions.
He had been beaten to such a state just for five silver coins.
"How miserable."
"Yeah, how could we meet such a pervert?"
"He's really insane."
"Could he be insane?"
Such comments kept popping up in Lei Luo's ears.
Lei Luo looked around casually.
The way everyone looked at him was starting to look a little contemptuous.
At first, Lei Luo was barely able to hold on, but as the number of people increased, the situation changed.
There were almost 500 people gathered at the city gate and started to point at Lei Luo.
Lei Luo couldn't hold on any longer.
He could only carry the huge man to the church next door to receive treatment under everyone's disdainful gazes.
In the end, it didn't matter if he didn't go.
The moment he entered the door, Lei Luo's face turned green with regret.
It turned out that this huge man was called Arthur.
He was a standard pauper.
His entire body was less than ten copper coins.
This way, Lei Luo would have to pay for his treatment.
"Please say it again. I want to confirm the treatment fee."
Lei Luo's face turned green as he waited for the nun.
She could use holy light to treat the man's injuries.
"It's a total of 300 gold coins…After using the holy potion, the bed fee, the treatment fee, the Holy Light Fee, and the 11 taxes, it's a total of 364 gold coins."
"Then you can cut the person inside into pieces. I don't know him."
In Utopia Farm, Lei Luo did not worry about food and clothing.
Naturally, he would not place money in his appreciation.
Even in the casino, he was a high-roller who spent a lot of money.
But after all, he did not use his own money. He only used gambling cards.
To Lei Luo, this was just a number. It had an unreal feeling.
But when he really took out these 300 gold coins, the psychological feeling was different.
He had just gotten off the carriage.
Lei Luo had lost half of his wealth.
Lei Luo was not happy.
He walked to the door of the church with a gloomy expression.
The tall Arthur chased after him from the clinic.
He blocked Lei Luo.
Without waiting for Lei Luo to speak, Arthur said sincerely, "I will return these 300 gold coins to you."
He had planned to ask him to return the money, but seeing Arthur like this, Lei Luo also lost interest.
"You only have 10 copper coins on you, how can you return the money? Sigh. Forget it, I was muddle-headed. If I had known earlier, I would have given you five silver coins."
"You're right."
Lei Luo waved his hand weakly and said gloomily, "Sigh. Forget it. It's useless to talk about this now. You can go."
"Sir, don't be like this. I'm not very smart, but my combat ability is not bad."
"Just you?"
Lei Luo studied the man again. If it was just about his physique, Arthur's physique was indeed not bad.
"If it wasn't for the lack of connections, I would have joined the army a long time ago. Sir, please take me with you. I'll do whatever you want until I pay off what you spent on medical expenses."

Chapter 370: The Closure of the Trading Firm
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Hearing this, Lei Luo was a little stunned.
He took two steps forward and sized up Arthur.
Then, he nodded and said, "Yes."
He smiled and asked, "Anything is fine? Then…will you do it?"
Arthur thought about it very seriously, gritted his teeth with a solemn expression, and nodded.
"Yes! But, I only receive female guests."
Lei Luo was amused and said with a smile, "You're really a wonderful person."
Half an hour later, at the Morton Trading Company…
When Lei Luo and Arthur appeared in front of the magnificent building, they just happened to see a construction worker tearing down the signboard of Morton Trading Company.
Lei Luo was a little surprised, but at the same time, he also felt a little uneasy.
"What's going on? Why did Morton Bank fail? Is it renewing the signboard?"
The construction worker said to Lei Luo, "Obviously, it went bankrupt."
"Go bankrupt? When did this happen?"
Lei Luo grabbed the worker's hand forcefully.
"It should have happened an hour ago."
"Then what about my savings? What about the money I saved in the trading firm?"
"Then it's gone."
After saying that, the construction worker shrugged and left.
Lei Luo was left standing there in a daze.
Arthur stood to the side awkwardly. He asked carefully, "I didn't expect that your money would be stored in Morton Trading Company. Perhaps there is still a chance to turn things around. We can think of another way."
Even Arthur himself did not expect this.
His clumsy comforting actually made Lei Luo react.
"I was first blackmailed when I went out, and then I lost half of my money for no reason. Then, the trading firm where my teacher saved the money went bankrupt. Could it be that I was possessed by the god of misfortune?"
Lei Luo's gaze involuntarily landed on Arthur.
This made Arthur's scalp go numb.
He also hurriedly asked, "The boss of Morton Trading Firm is called Morton. I know where he is. Why don't we go find him?"
"Really?"
"No matter what, we still have money saved up. Even if we can't get it back completely, we can at least get some of it back."
After saying that, he quickly pulled Lei Luo into a carriage, trying to avoid his burning gaze.
It took about half an hour.
The carriage stopped at a small bar next to the central square.
"Here, this is Morton Trading Company's boss, Morton."
Lei Luo looked in the direction Arthur pointed.
He saw a huge man with a messy beard. He was a middle-aged man with an apron.
He looked like someone who would be disgusted by anyone.
But he was lying on the bar counter in an envious position, drinking poor-quality ale.
"Are you sure this person is the boss of Morton Trading Company?"
It was also hard to imagine.
A man dressed so wretchedly was unexpectedly the former boss of the trading company. How could that be?
He was once the biggest boss of the trading company in the third administrative region.
This guy looked a little too young.
Arthur, who had finally shifted Lei Luo's gaze that was as scorching as the flames of hell also felt that he had never felt so relaxed in his life.
He secretly let out a breath of turbid air that he had been holding back for a long time.
"Do you think he's too young? I think so too. This guy is only 31 years old."
"He founded Morton Trading Company at the age of 20, and he built a street shop into the largest trading company in the third province at the age of 30. Then, he defeated it with one hand. He's pretty impressive."
Arthur's words made Lei Luo turn around and look at him.
"You know him very well?"
"His birth name is Wenna Morton. He is a well-known figure in this province. Ever since Morton Trading Company closed down, he has been staying here every day. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that he would be here."
Arthur lowered his head and looked at Lei Luo.
"Oh right, at least three months ago, Morton Trading Company announced that it was going to go bankrupt and asked everyone to come and retrieve the gold coins. Why are you only here now?"
"This is the money my teacher gave me. I live in a village, so I don't know much about what is happening outside."
Habacca did not care about money,
Naturally, he would not care about things like these.
Thinking about this deposit, when Lei Luo was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that he had this money.
Then, he conveniently gave it to Lei Luo.
Lei Luo was also unwilling to talk about his own matters.
He curiously asked, "Since this guy can start from scratch, then he naturally has some ability. How could he fall to such a state?"
"I don't know either. I heard that it seems to be because he is competing with Trump."
"Trump?"
Lei Luo frowned.
The image of that fat man with a harmless smile in the Trump Casino appeared in his mind.
"I'm not too sure either. It's said that Trump is the richest man in the empire."
Arthur thought that Lei Luo didn't know him, so he briefly introduced the information he knew.
"Oh?"
Lei Luo didn't want to say that he knew Trump.
He got off the car and walked to the small bar.
Lei Luo and Arthur walked into the bar that didn't have any customers.
They didn't say anything either.
They simply stood in front of the bar counter and looked at Morton, who was behind the bar counter.
"The depositor of Morton Trading Company?"
Morton glanced at Lei Luo and Arthur.
They were still drinking.
"I have 50 million gold coins, which I deposited in Morton Trading Company."
Lei Luo walked forward and placed an envelope on the bar counter. Then, he stared at Morton to see what expression he had.
Morton first smiled indifferently.
Then, just as he was about to speak, he glanced at the envelope on the bar counter. A seal on the envelope caught his attention.
This seal was undoubtedly a very unique design of an emblem.
It was a red dragon.
"Where did you get this deposit slip?"
Morton held the envelope with his right hand and opened it to take a look. As he examined it carefully, he pretended not to care.
"This was given to me by my teacher. He said that this was all his property in his life, and that this was the only deposit he had. He asked me to come and take it, but who would have thought that before I entered your trading firm, someone would tell me that you had closed down."
"Morton Trading Firm closed down, but it was notified three months in advance. Why didn't your teacher come?"
"The village we live in is too remote, and my teacher doesn't like to come to the city, so I didn't know about your news."
Morton placed the deposit back on the bar counter.
He turned his attention to Lei Luo, and his expression completely returned to the smiling expression from before.
"I think you should know that I don't have the ability to pay you back now, right? I can't even pay you back five copper coins. How will I pay you 50 million gold coins?"
