Casino Heist(3)
I checked in to the dormitory semi-forced, and only then was I able to enter the main building of the casino.
The smell of money has grown stronger than before and the lights have become more dazzling.
Magical lighting was lit everywhere, but in addition to that, the amount of light was not a joke because there were also candlesticks.
In fact, it seems that it is because of the reflected light of the gilded candlestick rather than the light of the candle.
Gambling from various nationalities were lined up inside the room as much as the guests.
Not only cards, but also roulette, large wheels, and other games using various equipment are full of attractions.
If we had come to play comfortably, we would have touched it once or twice, even out of curiosity.
As we go arm in arm with Sylvia into the middle of the whirlwind of desire, we can finally see the goal of this trip.
A reagent contained in a transparent tempered glass case above the altar-like structure.
Both the object and the case felt small and insignificant compared to the value, but…
I could feel the powerful magic from a distance.
‘Protection spell. The principle is simple, but something that is hard and reliable is at stake.’
“Auror will not be too young.”
Sylvia, who spoke silently with only her lips moving, quickly approached with a gait full of curiosity.
There are quite a few tourists besides us, so it is not a suspicious atmosphere.
Inside the glass case, which is hard to break even if struck with a knife, is a jewel the size of a fist.
It looks like a part of the night sky has been removed and condensed.
As if that reagent was absorbing the surrounding light, the inside of the glass had an unusually low brightness.
“Hey, this reagent is a gift…”
“You don’t believe that, do you?”
Chatting with tourists who arrived a little earlier than us.
Even if the name is casino prizes.
No one believed it, including them.
There’s no way you’ll ever win, and even if you do, you won’t want to give it away by any means you can.
Therefore, the option of winning by gambling fairly is excluded from the beginning.
Russell wouldn’t be stupid enough to know that.
“It’s definitely high-class and has the right attributes. If you use this, you’ll be able to summon an Elder Dragon-class Black Dragon with a high probability. If you’re lucky, even a New Dragon-class stronger than Eshas…”
Even the Demon King, who had been silent for a while, murmured from the inside as if he had received a strong impression.
I asked him just in case.
‘Can you break through that protective spell?’
“Of course. It’s the security of the reagent for summoning summons equivalent to the SSS rank, isn’t it funny that I can’t break through this?”
‘That’s right.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t steal that reagent right now.
Our top priority is Russell and the Rebels.
A reagent is an additional target after all.
The commander-in-chief also clearly acknowledged it at the operational meeting.
While I was chatting with the Demon King.
Sylvia looked carefully at the floor near the case and took me back.
It seems that he noticed something through the eyes of the assassin.
She pretended to watch the other gambles and explained them.
“There’s an attack spell placed under the carpet. Breaking the case is supposed to trigger a protective spell.”
“Attack spells? What are they?”
“People standing on the altar will become beehives in an instant. Of course, the reagents will be safe because of the protective spell.”
Of course, within this building, the use of summoning and repatriation is also restricted.
In an environment where Summoning can be used in the first place, fraudulent gambling is too easy.
As I struggled to find a solution on Russell’s point of view, I was given a cup of tea from the attendant.
“There was a key hole in the reagent case. What if we bribe the staff?”
“I wonder if an employee who can buy it has the key…”
“You don’t know. Russell has already established a partnership with Einclad.”
“That lock takes more than 30 minutes to open even with the right key. It’s a time that can’t be overlooked by the casino’s staff. I can’t even imagine how long it would take to try a lockpick.”
“Did you intentionally install a delay device?”
As it is stored in an easily accessible place, it is a thorough security device.
More than 10 guards are always on standby indoors.
Of course, all of them are quite talented.
It would seem suspicious to just keep looking around and chattering, so we started to gamble in moderation.
Simple games like gambling.
To be honest, it’s not a big deal, but it feels special because money is at stake.
I went back to the dorm after killing time by adjusting the bet amount so as not to let the excitement go unnoticed.
It’s still a bit early, but we need to call before Medusha, who is waiting at the dormitory, comes in here.
Fortunately, wired communication seems possible.
Entering the luxurious room, I used a unique communication device to connect with the hostel.
The dormitory is in a situation where the dimensional watchdog has chartered, so we just need to be careful with the wiretapping.
So that it doesn’t matter what I thought. An overly familiar voice came from beyond the communication device.
“Lu… No, Halon! Why haven’t you come back yet!”
“If you leave the receptionist alone, what do you do…”
I closed my eyes and wished luck.
No matter how much you do, you won’t be eavesdropping on communications from ordinary customers.
As she quickly explained the situation, Sylvia’s hand approached from behind.
“I’m going to sleep at the casino today, so please extend your stay. Please take care of your luggage.”
“What? Whoever you want!”
“There’s no way it’s going to be a spectacle in one day. I’ll be back soon, so just a little… Huh, gi, wait.”
A strange voice leaked out at Sylvia’s surprise attack that couldn’t stand the bird and flew in.
Thanks to you, I said a word to Lori, who was listening next to me.
“Hey, are you okay? Your breathing sounds a little rough.”
“Yeah, it’s a bit chilly today… Go, I think I’ve caught a cold! It’s not too bad, so don’t worry! Ugh.”
“Master, why do you keep doing this?”
“I’m working out right now! HOW… I’m going to gain weight by eating a lot of delicious food here. Then I’ll quit!”
Ending communication by babbling completely contradictory excuses.
Belatedly, she turns her head to look at Sylvia, and she looks away shamelessly.
“Sylvia…”
“Uh-huh. I should call you or baby. We’ve already contacted you, so let’s go get some more.”
I promised revenge and waited for the night to deepen, but…
Anyway, I just realized once again that there is no chance of winning in a hand-to-hand battle.
After bright day, have a late lunch and resume scouting at the gambling hall.
By the time they returned to their original accommodation, a definite conclusion had been reached.
“Louis! You’ve got half of your face!”
“Okay, it’s okay. You don’t have to worry about me. It’s impossible for them to quietly steal reagents for now.”
“Didn’t I just leave it in an easily accessible place?”
“That’s right. It’s not easy to take it by force because it’s well defended.”
However, Russell and the rebels had progressed to the point where they sent news to the capital’s cadres.
In some way, I will try.
Considering his ability to steal links, it’s not impossible at all.
“I think I’ll break through forcibly…”
“Since it’s hard to get things done quietly, escaping will be that much harder. Of course, it’s difficult to get out by boat.”
In the midst of being chased by the casino’s guards, he couldn’t even open a gate for ultra-long-distance transmission…
Einclad’s naval power is comparable to that of Korea.
If they are determined and pursue you, you will be caught unconditionally.
“Then is it the sky?”
“Yes. The Wyvern transport of the Guard is ready?”
“Of course. We’ll have them on standby on the same day. Chasing down an enemy in the air is difficult if you don’t prepare in advance, but I’m glad.”
“By the way, didn’t you say that the weight increase order was placed on the case earlier?”
“that is…”
After explaining the methods they are expected to use, return to the casino.
In the eyes of others, you will look like an inexhaustible gambler.
In fact, I heard that there are many nobles who ruin their lives here.
However, Sylvia took advantage of the assassin’s powers to make her fortune little by little.
It’s been a long time since I realized that games played against casinos are mathematically impossible.
So we passed the time by playing table games with other guests.
After getting a good night’s sleep the day before the performance day, he woke up with his physical condition restored.
As we entered the gambling hall dressed in comfortable clothes than before, familiar guests greeted us.
I was about to let out a sigh as I saw the man who had already blown away the rice fields and the mansion, but I forcibly resisted it.
As we waited until evening, the signal we had been waiting for finally arrived.
“Baby, stop and have dinner…”
Quang!
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just as she was about to fill up her stomach while drying Sylvia, who was pretending to be a little lost.
A loud bang resounded from outside the casino.
If you can hear it in the gambling hall in the middle of the building, it must be quite powerful.
The security guards of the casino are noticeably embarrassed when they hear the same sound.
“Hey, this is…”
“Don’t panic! The distance was pretty close. Send emergency support only and wait for the rest! Evacuate all guests to the dormitory!”
“Yes!”
This casino is a business operated directly by the Einclad royal family.
That is why such reagents were stored in the first place.
Therefore, some of the guards are supposed to go out to support if something happens to the nearby royal palace.
Since Russell and the Rebels are very few in number, distributing the opponent’s forces in this way is not an option, it is a necessity.
There is no loss of manpower because the bomb can be made and installed in advance.
Still, it was so important that the guards did not escape as much as expected.
If you hit it a lot, it’s half.
As the emergency waiting group rushed out, the guards left indoors began to semi-forcibly evacuate the guests.
Gambling addicts don’t really listen to what others are saying… and there is a possibility that some of the guests may be accomplices.
While I was rolling my head to somehow stay on the scene. Suddenly, uninvited guests appeared.
It’s the first time I’ve seen Russell’s and the rebels’ brazen faces look so happy.
“You, why are you here… Ugh!”
“Crazy people! Betrayal!”
Some of the guards seemed to be familiar with them, and were beaten by narrowing the distance carelessly.
However, the defense is still far superior.
Russell, who wielded an auror over a gilded candlestick, uses link stealing without hesitation.
The guards who were deploying the demon summons were quickly defeated.
Like the phoenix I stole, it did not obey its new owner, but it is possible to forcibly reverse summon it.
‘My skills have improved since then.’
I’m used to link hijacking, even if it’s natural…
I’m sure you’ll be able to put an auror on those ornaments.
Even though he only has a left arm, he fights quite well.
Of course, I didn’t expect the guards to stop Russell, so I wasn’t too disappointed.
“These children!”
“Uh?”
Russell, who had been glancing at this side while clearing one of the guards, turned his head and approached the altar.
Although they are brothers by name, I was able to deceive them because I hadn’t seen them a few times.
While the rebels dragged their time, the gnome first sprayed auras to lighten the traps on the floor.
It’s hard to deceive him like that because he’s the servant girl’s disciple over there too.
“Ugh…”
Sylvia was lying on the floor and grinding her teeth as if she wanted to run away at any moment.
I put my hands on the back of her hand and pressed it down to dry it.
It is not yet time for us to leave.
The glass case that surrounds the jewel is just as good as an auror.
It cannot be destroyed unless Eshas or a Demon Lord-class summoned attack hits it.
Naturally, Russell did not attempt to destroy or dismantle it on the spot.
Instead, he swung the candlestick like a sword and destroyed the altar that was integrated with the case.
‘Are you trying to run away with the whole thing!’
“Keep your distance and focus on shooting!”
“Two heads. That’s the weight that a human can lift…”
However, in that case, a weight increase order is placed in preparation for such a situation.
It took a while for the casino’s guards to laugh as they recalled that fact.
Suddenly, from the ceiling of the gambling hall, a loud noise similar to the previous one resounded.
Sylvia rolled under the table to avoid the shards, clinging to her and sighing.
“From start to finish, as expected of the master.”
“No. It’s just the beginning.”
A high-strength wire appeared among the smoke and debris on the ceiling.
It had a hook on the tip, so I could immediately recognize its purpose.
An object similar to that used by the Warp Watch’s Wyvern Transport.
The casino’s guards fired hard at the hole in the ceiling, but with half the firepower, they could not deal with the summoned creatures in the air.
“Undead griffon cavalry? Why is the exclusive property of the Royal Palace Guard here…”
“It must have been stolen like our summons!”
It is relatively easy to concede beast-type or undead summons.
They belong to both of them, so needless to say.
Russell, who had just hooked up the hook to the case, began to climb quickly while holding on to the thick wire like a rope ladder.
Shortly thereafter, the rebels also started retreating at once.
Since they are elites who have survived so far, they are all very talented.
I bit my lip slightly, finding Howard’s face among them.
Sylvia, who rolled to the side and escaped under the table, exclaimed, pulling off her fake eyebrows.
“master!”
“Yeah, let’s go!”
I also started chasing by ripping off my disgusting beard.
Einclad’s night was filled with screams and riots.
