The paralysis was lifted at some point, Austin felt that his whole body was itching, and he frantically scratched every part of his body with his hands, and after a while, the whole person was bloody and could not find a piece of good meat, and the little monsters had long since left, leaving him alone to struggle on the altar.
The blood finally ran out, but Austin was still alive, he could still clearly perceive the surrounding environment, but not with his eyes, those dark and brown eyes had long been blinded by his own inadvertently, and now all over his body, it seemed that every piece of flesh and every organ could obtain information about the outside world for him:
The white bones on the altar, the stone statues that have drunk blood, the little monsters in the distance crawling on the walls of the cave to collect glowing moss... Everything is even clearer than you can see with your eyes.
At this time, a mysterious power emerged from his chest, spreading to every corner of his body, and wherever the mysterious power passed, every cell of his was like manna ushered in by the long-drought earth, and vitality was refilled in his body. The skin began to grow back, and the empty eye sockets were filled again, but there were also more parts that Austen didn't have before, such as nails as sharp as knives, hair as hard as steel needles, and two bulging sarcomas on his shoulders, some freaks were born.
Is he going to turn into a three-headed monster? For a moment, great fear appeared in his mind, and Austin exclaimed, and his consciousness sank...
After waking up from his sleep, Austin's first reaction was to touch his shoulder to see if there were two bulging sarcomas, but it was okay, nothing, except for a cold sweat, everything was normal.
Then Austin undid the bandage Jace had bandaged him, and when he pressed his hand to his heart to feel it beating, he was completely relaxed: fortunately, it was all a dream!
"Huh, where's my wound?" but he noticed something different, that is, his wound had healed, and there was not even a scar left, Jace's medical skills he knew, it was impossible to reach this level!
It seems that there is still something in the dream that communicates reality! Austin even if he doesn't want to believe it, but the facts are in front of him, and he must believe it.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to immediately run to the Navia Manor outside the city to find out what was going on with the mage, if he didn't save himself and would turn into a three-headed humanoid monster, then he might as well die.
Rational living... If you continue to be tormented by this nightmare, will you still be able to be reasonable? If in reality you have two more heads and become a monster that everyone shouts at, what is the point of living? A bitter smile crept up the corner of her mouth, and Austin, who had always been optimistic, was depressed at the moment.
It seemed that it was the second day, and the food on the box at the end of the bed had a faint sour taste, and he had not eaten for a day and a night, and Austin, who had already had an empty stomach, grabbed a roast chicken leg and chewed it indifferently.
After eating everything he had, Austin jumped out of bed, threw off the bandages on his chest, went to the yard to get a bucket of cold water and take a good shower, washed off the smell of sweat, and then changed his clothes and went out. He's going to Jace on Hamm Street to buy a bottle of Energy Elixir.
In order to survive the last day of her agreement with the mage, Austin is ready to take a trick: as long as she doesn't sleep, won't that weird dream be avoided?
With the effect of the energy potion, he can easily stay sleepy overnight, and then wait for tomorrow at dawn, as soon as the city gate opens, quickly run outside the city to find the mage, and everything will be fine!
Given that he fell asleep after eating during the day yesterday, today he had to find something interesting to do to keep his energy high. Casinos and taverns are undoubtedly the best places in Austin's mind, but the appeal of taverns is clearly not as good as the former. It's Austen's rule to do what he thinks, not to mention going to places where it's fun, and now even if an orc with a body size of more than two meters stops here, he's going to go!
There are many casinos in Omni City, and there are many kinds of casinos, each of which is almost exclusively aimed at one group of people, and Austin is of course the kind for the inferior poor man with little assets like him. Although the customers are almost all people from humble backgrounds, this kind of casino business is the most popular, and people like Austin have a common problem: once they have money in their hands, they start to itch and try their luck, so the casino business here is very good, and it is no less lively than a tavern brothel.
"Yo, isn't this Austin, come in and play two? Look at your money bag, have you caught a fat sheep today?" "The doormen in the casino usually have a good memory, as long as they come to play, almost all of them can be named, and for the more familiar guests, they can say a few words according to the customer's occupation and preferences.
"Cut, it's just two handfuls of copper, it's just a poor ghost in the countryside, what kind of fat sheep is that. "Wealth is not exposed, Austin knows this very well, especially in a place like a casino, once you leak rich, you will be targeted by the thousands of people who wander inside, they will slowly set up a game, lure you into the bait like fishing, and finally empty your money bag.
"That's better than those of us who can't see a few coppers a day when we eat a bowl of dead rice!" "Where is this, all kinds of work in Oni City, I envy you the most, you are standing here vigorously, so imposing." "
"Haha, as far as you say, I'm here to wish you a big kill today, come in, there are a lot of people inside!"
"Thank you for your auspicious words, I will go in first, and I will invite you to drink after winning the money. "
After a few idle words, Austin shook the money bag with only copper and silver coins left, and as for the gold coins, except for the five that were kept at home, the other three were all in his arms, and the casino had to guard against some peers.
I didn't come for a few days, the casino was still lively, and Austin met a few acquaintances, but seeing that their faces were not good, they should have lost money, so they didn't go up to talk, and after squeezing in the crowd for a while, he chose a place and sat down at a dice table with only two empty seats.
Austen chose this place because there was a fresh face at this table, and he was lucky enough to win two in a row, and there was already a pile of coins in front of him, and even some of them were gold, which was obviously a sheep that was about to be fed! Although I don't know who among the other people at this table will be the one who will eat this man, but he has a good time to intervene at this time.
There are many ways to play dice, and here are casinos for the poor, and the ones that are usually played are the simplest: bet on the size and the number of points. After all, the guests here are all people at the bottom of Oni City, and they are active, but they still have a lot of tendons, and it is most suitable for them to bet on the size and open directly.
"Place your bets. "Sitting in the banker's seat is a strong man dressed as an adventurer, he has a pile of stubble, speaks in an urn, and looks honest.
Austin thought for a moment, took out a silver coin and bet on 'small', because the gambler he considered a fat sheep chose 'big', and the rest of the table was surprisingly unanimous in their thinking, and they all chose 'small'.
"It's big! Haha, I won!"
When the dice were drawn, six o'clock up, the 'fat sheep' won again, and Hula swept the bets on the table in front of him, making his silver mountain even more majestic.
"Place your bets. "
The second inning began, and this time Austin didn't look at the 'fat sheep' in action, but listened intently to the sound of the dice shaking, trying to simulate the trajectory of the dice colliding in the cup in his mind. At last the dice stopped, and he bet the two silver coins in front of him and twenty copper coins on the 'small', which was all his change, and if he did not win, he had to use the gold coins of the treasure in his arms. 'Fat Sheep' also chose 'Small', and this time the rest of the people were also big and small, and the result was opened, and Austin won!
Austen didn't attribute the reason for his win to his own judgment of the dice, because his trick had not been used before, and it was not much better than blindness.
At the beginning of the game again, Austin was the same, he made a prediction by listening, and bet two silver coins on the 'big', this time the 'fat sheep' was different from his choice, a stack of coins was magnificently bet on the 'small', and Austin won again!
In this way, three rounds were carried out, and Austin did not miss a single shot, which not only made the dealer's face change, but the other people at the table, including the 'fat sheep', looked at him wrongly.
"Something is wrong, they obviously haven't leaked money, they shouldn't feed themselves as fat sheep. Although Austin was happy to win the money, he was also uneasy in his heart, afraid that he would accidentally step into the trap.
Let's do it again, win or lose! Austin looked at the assets in front of him, which already had more than twenty silver coins, and secretly made up his mind.
This time he bet ten silver coins, still following his own judgment to bet, in his mind, if he entered someone else's game, losing these ten coins can be regarded as spit out enough, not too offending people, if he wins... Motera, please let me be your faithful believer.
The dice opened four points under the attention of everyone, and it turned out that Austin won again, everyone at the table gasped and set their eyes on Austin, this unattractive guy has won six games in a row except for the first loss!
Fortunately, Austen's gamble was small, and the bet was not too big, so that it did not attract onlookers who loved to coax, so when he left his seat, no one who was anxious to stop him stood up to stop him, and even those who gambled at the same table quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Austin was curtained by the God of Gamblers or used dishonorable means, betting with him was never a good experience.
After a few more laps from the casino and looking at other people's games, Austin walked out with more than 30 silver coins he had won. At this time, he had already come back to his senses, and the reason why he was able to win was not because someone at the gambling table raised him as a fat sheep, but because every time he simulated the trajectory of the dice by listening to the sound, it was accurate!
When did he become so powerful? Austin smacked his tongue secretly, every time he used this method before, it was extremely difficult, and he couldn't predict it accurately, but what happened now? Not only did he not feel any mental consumption, but he was also extremely accurate every time. Could it be that it is really the blessing of Lady Motela?
