94 – Hugou (2)
Duke Jespen sighed heavily. He was wearing his camouflage harness.
It was the same with Eran in front of Duke Jespen. Duke Jespen moved his gaze to Eran.
A lot of gold coins were placed in front of Eran. Most of them were gold coins belonging to Duke Jespen.
“Look, is it not okay to watch?”
“I can’t look at you, but I can give you one more game.”
“A month’s worth of pocket money…”
Eran, who relentlessly took the gold coins, turned around. His back got smaller little by little.
Eran was heading to the black market, ignoring Duke Jespen, who gave him a pitiful look.
“Huh…”
Duke Jespin looked at his empty wallet. The beginning of the case was simple.
When he found Eran gambling while following Shael.
Intrigued by this, Duke Jespen wanted to compete against Eran in gambling.
So he poured an enormous amount of mana into Shael and created a protective magic circle.
A magic that even sends a signal to Duke Jespen if the slightest danger is sensed.
In addition, Duke Jespen knew very well that Eran couldn’t have come here to do something strange.
Thanks to that, I was able to offer a gamble to Eran, who had stolen Shael’s money.
Then he robbed all his possessions. A whopping one month’s worth of pocket money.
Actually, he used to live on pocket money from Enella. It was a sad situation for a duke of the wealthy Azbel family.
I had nothing to say. If he was given the Azbel family’s money, the Azbel family’s mansion would be filled with Sael and Enella’s dresses.
‘I still wanted to buy a dress for Sael…’
It is still too early to give up. Duke Jespen took out a communication magic tool. It was a communication magic tool that Enella could receive.
Soon, a lovely wife’s voice came from the magic tool.
ㅡ Jespen?
Duke Jespen was nervous without realizing it. But he said it proudly. Because I absolutely wanted to buy Sael’s dress today.
“I used up all my pocket money…”
Dude.
The communication magic tool cut off before he could finish talking.
I didn’t feel bitter. He was afraid of the future of having to tell Enella about the use of his pocket money.
So, Duke Jespen trudged out of the black market.
* * *
She probably extorted quite a lot of money from a proud noblewoman.
Still, I didn’t feel sorry. When he gambles, he tries to cheat and rarely admits defeat.
They were even secretly following me.
To sum it up in a word, she was a woman who lost her senses and lost her senses. So no guilt.
Next, I got another gambler. It was a middle-aged man who seemed to be possessed by something magical.
This man must also be an aristocrat from a proud family. She had a lot of money to extract, and she couldn’t hide her expression, probably because she hadn’t done such a thing before.
“Look, is it not okay to watch?”
“I can’t look at you, but I can give you one more game.”
“A month’s worth of pocket money…”
Continued to gamble was my victory.
It was a man with a similar atmosphere to the woman earlier. To the point where I wondered if they were family.
Anyway, it was a good thing for me. Thanks to that, I was able to save enough money to buy the things I needed on the black market.
Just in time, the black market auction was about to begin. When he was ready, he went to his seat and sat down.
Then a woman sat down right next to me.
“See you again?”
“Don’t talk to me because it’s noisy.”
It was the Hogu from before. She was the woman who robbed me of money in gambling and robbed me of money as reward.
“I even took money, but isn’t it too much?”
That was right. However, I had Shael. She didn’t want Sael to talk to other men, so she needed to refrain from talking to other women as well.
“I didn’t open it, I must have received it.”
“Ha.”
I hoped the conversation would stop at this point. Unfortunately, contrary to my hopes, the woman continued to talk.
“I heard you were called for gambling.”
“I haven’t gambled yet.”
“I just saw you doing it.”
“It’s an illusion.”
Even after that, she was talking about women. I lightly ignored it.
ㅡFor those who have visited the black market. Her auction is going to be marketed soon, so please take her seat.
Around the time the woman’s sharp voice started hurting her ears, the black market began.
The auctioneer started explaining items one by one. As expected from the black market, most of the items were likely to be used in bad places.
ㅡIt is a juice of drunkenness that greatly increases drunkenness. Not only that, but it contains ingredients that make it impossible to get rid of drunkenness even with magic!
It was a juice that seemed to be quite helpful. Later, she was also a juice that seemed to be helpful in my plan to have a sickle with the crown prince and the lord of the mage tower.
She put her hand on the button.
ㅡ#42, 280,000 gold.
ㅡ#72, 300,000 gold!
Number 72 was me. It was a pretty painful expense, but worth it.
ㅡUh, uh uh! Number 71, 1.3 Million gold!
Number 71 was the woman next to her. She is a hogu who took money from me by gambling.
The Hogu was now trying to buy an item worth 300,000 gold at several times the price.
“Are you arguing?”
“No? Because that is what I need.”
“I see.”
It didn’t matter. It would be nice if it was, but it wasn’t necessary.
The juice was auctioned off to the woman.
ㅡThe next item is the Purifying Dew, which removes the scent and makes you incapacitate!
This time my eyes burned with passion. It was something absolutely necessary. It was the most important thing in my plan.
ㅡ#38, 800,000 gold!
ㅡAh, number 72 here makes an overwhelming difference with 2 million gold!
It was a way to express his intention to buy unconditionally. However, the auction still did not stop.
ㅡWhoops, 4 million gold! Number 71 won 4 million gold!
Involuntarily, my head turned to the side. The woman in number 71 was sending me a nasty sneer.
It was a familiar ridicule, but she tried to ignore it and opened her mouth.
“Can’t you yield?”
“Unfortunately, I can’t. I need it too.”
I nodded her head and immersed myself in her auction. But she couldn’t buy the dew of purification.
From the start, I didn’t have 4 million gold in my hands. Even if it wasn’t the dew of purification, there were other things to buy.
She finished her thoughts and looked at her catalog. Water that slows thinking, and rare fruit that weakens patience.
There were still plenty of other things to buy with them.
ㅡThe next thing⋯.
It was an auction for the special water I needed to buy. But it didn’t happen that it won the bid for me.
—-This time, it will be won by number 71!
It was because of the woman next to me. She exercised patience and held back her anger.
In the end, all the things were taken away by the woman.
* * *
Shael looked at Eran with a triumphant smile.
Eran didn’t bid anything, he himself won all the items.
He was poor, and he was wealthy.
It was the so-called fear of capitalism.
“Can you give me only the dew of purification?”
“Hmm. Watch what you do and think about it.”
Shael took Eran to the bar next to the black market. If she had just been Eran, she would have ignored Shael, but she was able to lure him out with the item she bought at the auction house.
At the same time, I also had doubts. To the extent that she follows a woman she doesn’t know. Does she mean that these things matter so much?
I was curious about where things were used. Shael turned his head and delusional about the use of the object.
‘The dew that removes the scent and erases magic.’
A suspicious potion found by Eran while riding a horse together.
I hadn’t been separated from Eran, so I couldn’t ask the Azbel family pharmacist about the potion yet, but Shael knew.
Surely, that potion must have been used for Shael.
“What can I do?”
“I’ll give it to her if she gets on her knees.”
I missed Eran on her knees, looking with disgust at the woman she hated.
So it was an impulsive order. But when I saw Ran biting her mouth, I felt sorry for her.
Was it too much?
No, it was an order that Eran couldn’t have followed in the first place. This was when Shael was about to cancel her order.
Thung.
Ran got down on her knees. Then Ran got down on her knees. Shael couldn’t help but be surprised.
These items are so important?
It is questionable to lift. Then I felt a pleasant sense of conquest. On the contrary, I also felt annoyed.
Because now, Eran was on her knees to a woman other than Shael.
After that, she had an idea that she wanted to test Eran. Seeing her go this far, it seems that things are important to her.
How about taking a test?
“I got down on her knees. Are you giving it now?”
“Her face looks smooth, try kissing it.”
Of course, it was an order Eran would reject. Of course, it was okay because I could see Eran’s funny reaction.
Is it possible to draw a knife?
Perhaps I could slap Sael on the cheek.
No matter how she does, Shael seems to make her feel good. Because those actions were proof of Sael’s love.
Dubuck.
However, the situation did not go as Sael wished. Embarrassingly, Eran was approaching Shael with her affectionate eyes on him.
It was a similar situation when Ran usually approaches Shael to kiss her.
She’s trying to kiss her to another woman.
Shael poured all the curses she could think of into Eran.
A bad boy, a dog.
I wanted to release the camouflage magic tool right away and intervene in the scene of the wind.
But Shael couldn’t do that. First of all, receiving a kiss from Eran was the priority.
It will be after that that he will give his soul.
She couldn’t even move because Sael was so nervous anyway. Shael used all her remaining energy to close her eyes.
Then he waited for Eran to kiss her.
“⋯.”
Does she feel guilty towards Shael? Eran was hesitant, unable to act as quickly as she usually did.
Just like that, a little bit of time has passed.
There was still only empty air touching Shael’s lips.
Soon, Shael opened her eyes, which had been tightly closed.
I thought Eran was standing right in front of her, but she was nowhere to be found. Only her empty air was welcoming Shael.
That wasn’t the only thing missing.
“Oh…?”
The things I bought while teasing and harassing Eran at the black market. Except for the juice of drunkenness, the items were gone.
