MTL - The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts-Chapter 5 Yuri and Gold

In the evening, Tom appeared in London's Soho District, which is located in Westminster, Greater London. It is also the most prosperous, lively and chaotic place in London at midnight. When night falls, people from the three religions and nine streams will gather here like a tide, flowing into the casinos, nightclubs and other entertainment venues here.

Throughout the region, the roar of locomotives is incessant, and many men and women will drive their motorcycles to stage a disgusting speed and passion in the center of the street with the earth-shattering engine sound.

Tom came to the front of a casino where he often came to work as part-time workers. The security guard in black just took a look and recognized him.

"Stinky boy, are you here to eat again?"

"Uncle John, I'm here to try my luck today." Tom smiled and chatted briefly with the uncle at the door. John, the doorman, shook his head and put him in.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the casino was already very lively. There are nearly a hundred tables in the hall, and each table is crowded with people, and there are private rooms downstairs, but as Tom is not enough to enter, but it is not a big problem, and his goal is not the gambling in those private rooms. guest.

He took out the only thirty pounds he had left and exchanged it for chips. Then he walked around the casino at will, looking here and there. The staff in the casino didn't take the kid Tom seriously. He doesn't look dirty either, so why bother?

Tom often sneaks in here to do some chores, and take a peek at their buffet. That's right, this casino also operates a buffet. In other words, most casinos have their own "casinobuffet". They hope that guests can eat directly at the casino when they are hungry, so as not to leave the casino because of hunger. Most casino buffets are delicious, with a lot of choices and good taste, the key is the cheap price. Sometimes Tom only needs to talk to the uncle in the back kitchen to help them deal with "kitchen waste" and pack the self-service food that can't be eaten home.

But today he wasn't here to grab a meal.

He walked to a roulette table and stopped and watched for a while. Roulette is a very common casino game. There are usually 37 or 38 numbers. The dealer is responsible for playing the ball on the spinning wheel, and the number on which the ball lands is the winning number. Tom watched for a while and had a vague feeling that the next serve would definitely land on the 9, so he did not hesitate to put a five-pound chip in the 9 square.

There are many ways to play roulette, but the most simple and crude one is that the betting ball will land on a certain grid. The general odds are 35 to 1. After the chips are thrown, Tom calms down. He quietly watched the small marble bounce and roll in the roulette.

"No. 7, No. 8-No. 9!"

In the end, the marbles landed on the No. 9 grid. Some of the gamblers near the roulette wheel were happy, while others were sad. The dealer swiftly paid the winning bet, and then took away the lost chips.

In just an instant, the £5 in Tom's hand became £175.

He wandered around the casino aimlessly for a few more times, losing a little, winning a little, and the final asset exceeded 300 pounds.

At this time, 100 pounds is equivalent to 160 dollars, and an ounce of gold is about 370 dollars, so Tom can exchange 231 pounds for an ounce—that is, 31 grams of gold. His goal was to take away enough money in exchange for 50 grams of gold in the casino.

Gringotts strictly limits the exchange of currency, and this year they introduced a rule that only allows young wizards with Muggle parents to exchange 10 Galleons at the exchange rate of 5 to 1 Galleon during school. Of course, the exchange of gold for Galleons is unlimited, 5 grams of gold is one Galleon, and only one-way exchange is accepted.

The shrewd fairies will not leave any holes for humans to drill.

Tom weighed the chips in his bag and walked to another table. There's a casino game on this table. The game of casino situation sounds very high-end, but it is actually a game with the simplest rules. It is a very simple ratio, the dealer and each guest who bet will be dealt a card, and the winner will be determined by comparing the points of the dealer and the player. If the player has more points than the dealer, they will receive a payout equal to the bet amount.

Tom stood at the edge of the gaming table, keeping up with a few bets from time to time. By the time he left the gaming table, he had more than five hundred pounds on him. He took it as soon as he saw it, and was about to leave the casino. But before he left, he heard an interesting conversation in the toilet of the casino.

Yuri Orlov is an immigrant from the Soviet Union. His family business is to open a restaurant, but an accidental opportunity opened the door to the arms business. Today is the day when this cute new arms dealer completed his first business.

He made an appointment with a trader to trade in the toilet of a small casino. He deliberately put hairspray on his hair and shaved his beard.

Everything is going smooth.

He opened the box and handed the brand new Uzi submachine gun inside to the grim-faced young man.

"Sir, the new Uzi automatic pistol is small in size, but its firepower is not weakened. It is equipped with 9mm concave bullets, 25 rounds of expanded magazines, the size of the gun handle is adjustable, the silencer is standard equipment, and the recoil is extremely low..."

At the end, Yuri also made a little joke: "Even if you shoot me a whole clip of bullets now, people outside won't find out."

As a result, something unexpected happened. The buyer loaded the bullet directly and put it on his chest. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Yuri was stunned. However, he responded quickly, and immediately said easily: "Of course, then you won't have the opportunity to do bigger business with me."

The young buyer smiled, put the money in Yuri, took the suitcase and left the toilet.

Yuri only felt that he had escaped death, and his whole back was covered in cold sweat. He now feels that selling a gun for the first time is the same as having **** for the first time. You have no idea what you are doing. Although it is exciting, it will end soon. .

He walked out of the toilet, but saw a little boy walking out of the next cubicle, looking at him with a playful expression.

He wanted to leave quickly, but the little boy behind stopped him.

"Do you still have a gun like that? I need one that even a kid like me can use."

Yuri is a professional businessman, which means that he will not discriminate against customers, even if he is just a little kid in front of him, but since he has pounds and needs, he is his own customer.

So the two of them appeared together in a small warehouse.

Yuri handed Tom a 90% new Uzi and a box of ammunition.

"It's not brand new, but it's cheaper. For 25 pounds, you can take the gun and bullets with you."

Quite a fair price.

Tom took the gun case, handed the money to Yuri, thanked him and was about to leave, but Yuri stopped him, he took out a business card and handed it to Tom.

"Who the **** are you?" Yuri asked despite being curious that this kind of emotion shouldn't appear on him.

Tom didn't answer him immediately, but picked up a withered flower on the ground and handed it to him.

"Apprentice."

Tom walked away. Yuri was lost in thought as he looked at the bright flower in his hand.
