Episode 106
poker.
It is a very simple game in which the dealer matches the genealogy with cards randomly sent by the dealer, opens a hand after placing a chip, and the person with the highest genealogy eats up all the stakes.
Poker was one of the most popular gambling in casinos because you don’t need to learn any rules if you just memorize the genealogy.
Even in the black market casino, there were more than 20 poker tables as it was popular, but strangely, spectators were gathered only at the table at the very end.
“Gee, how many straight wins do you have now? 4? 5?”
“It was a six-game winning streak when I saw it.”
“You idiots. The winning streak doesn’t matter now. You’re playing the game as if you knew everything in your opponent’s hand!”
“So how are you doing that?”
The onlookers clicked their tongues at the man in the black robe who sat in the center of the table.
“Not only is the winning streak crazy, but the winning rate is also crazy. You must have won more than 7 out of 10?”
“It’s no joke. There were times when I was like that.”
“Gill. You’ve always been an asshole!”
“Wow, look at the chips. It piled up like a mountain. I envy you.”
As the saying goes, in front of the man in the black robe, the chip rose like a hill.
“after!”
“Well… .”
“shit.”
The gamblers at the same table watching it were either sweating or frowned.
“Aren’t you a trickster? Did I say Tazza?”
“You idiot! The inside of the black market casino is enchanted, so you can’t use mana. And if it was Tazza, the dealer would have caught it already! That dealer has over 20 years of experience!”
“Oh, I see, the dealer has also changed.”
As the man in that robe picked consecutively, the dealer was replaced once at the protest of another customer. Of course, the man did not lose any money after that.
“Then are you really lucky?”
“Wow, if you could stand with me like that… .”
“What luck is it? He also has good judgment. Your eyes are no joke.”
“Ouch… .”
A man in a black robe while Dorian bit his nails while listening to the onlookers. I approached Leon.
“Do, lord. Stop it now. Now is your chance, your luck has grown like a rubber band! Everyone says it’s luck!”
“How long does a beginner’s luck last?”
Raon looked at Dorian’s anxious eyes and smiled.
‘Well, it’s time to quit.’
He nodded, sweeping up the pile of chips with his hand. The auction price for Black Butterfly is 10 to 20 gold coins. Now that I’ve earned 35 gold coins, it’s time to stop.
‘If I do more, it may take a fight.’
I didn’t have time to win a streak, but in reality, it’s normal to take it slowly over a few days. If you take more than this, you may have problems.
“I’ll make it this far. Please exchange it for gold.”
Raon pushed the saliva to the dealer and stood up.
“for a moment! Are you just going?”
The woman in the fox mask who followed from the dice game to the poker board followed and stood up.
“Well, I earned enough money.”
“Where are you going to just pick?”
“Are you coming here to pick it up?”
“Just one more round. I never won!”
“I don’t have much time.”
“profit!”
The woman in the fox mask bit her lips tightly with her bloody eyes. From dice to poker, I felt like I was out of anger as I lost 20 rounds.
So who’s going to follow?
I didn’t even tell him to come, but I don’t know if he came by himself, ran into it, and then lost it.
“Well… .”
“Cork.”
“Everyone, I have to go somewhere else.”
Curiously, the woman stood up and became angry, and the onlookers rolled their eyes. just like you’re afraid
As expected, the woman seemed to come from a reputable family.
“I still have a lot of money. I don’t care, I’m just having fun.”
“Isn’t there anything you can see from gambling? Don’t be silly and stand there!”
“Oh yeah.”
Raon ignored her words and turned around. It didn’t matter whether her status was high or not, as she was leaving anyway. Hearing the clattering of teeth from behind, he headed towards the exit.
“let’s go.”
“Oh, yes!”
Dorian sighed in relief as he thought his words had worked, and followed along.
-Raon Sieghard. Do you remember the deal with the main king?
‘of course.’
– If I forgot, I was going to kill you, but I’m glad I did. let’s go. to close the deal.
A heavy and cold voice. However, I laughed at the fact that the target of the transaction was ice cream and food.
‘i get it. let’s go.’
Raon smiled and left the casino.
* * *
The woman in the fox mask looked fiercely at Raon’s back as she left the casino with bright yellow eyes.
“Setar.”
“Yes.”
A large man standing behind her prostrated.
“Come know what that bastard is doing and what he is aiming for. all.”
“king… No, Miss Jaina. There was an order not to cause any trouble… .”
“I would have granted your request by not going to the underground gambling house. How long do I have to endure?”
Casinos aren’t the only ones here. There was no limit on the stakes, so only those who bet their lives on gambling went to the real thing right downstairs.
“But, lady. My body is still… .”
“Shut up and go. That bastard obviously cheated. Chances are, it doesn’t make sense to win like that! I’m going to cut off my fingernails myself!”
“After that, I see.”
Setar sighed as if he had no choice but to disappear from the spot.
“huh.”
Jaina snorted and turned around. As I was about to leave the gambling room, the dealer approached me.
“Chi, you left your chips.”
“I do not need. Take yours.”
She handed over 10 gold coins to the dealer without looking at the chips.
“Yes? ah… .”
The dealer didn’t know what to do, but Jaina was already walking towards the exit.
‘Money is not a problem.’
Jaina laughed coldly. Money is so much that it rots and rubs. It’s not money that matters, it’s winning or losing. Since he was born with noble blood, he could not be passed over to such an ordinary human being.
‘No matter what happens, I will block your way.’
* * *
– Huh.
Lars smiled with a higher tone of voice than usual.
– The king is attracted to that.
He made a finger with blue chill and pointed to an ice cream.
‘that?’
Raon looked at the ice cream and frowned. It was a strange type of ice cream with chocolate chips sandwiched between it, on a background of whether it was green or blue.
‘I think Runan showed this before.’
-right. It’s the ice cream you didn’t eat. It also appeared in the king’s dream.
Lars gasped, unable to take his eyes off the ice cream.
“Give me one of these.”
Raon sighed and ordered the ice cream that Lars had chosen.
“Oh, guest. If you choose mint chocolate, you must know how to eat some ice cream.”
A large man who appeared to be the store owner smiled broadly and took out an ice cream.
“Mint chocolate?”
“100 million!”
Dorian, who was eating strawberry ice cream, jumped up to him.
“Do, lord. Did you order mint chocolate right now?”
“Is that so?”
“Huh, this… .”
“why?”
“Do you know Park Ha? That stinging thing.”
“I know.”
“This ice cream. It’s made with that mint. My mouth is burning! I have no taste!”
Dorian shook his head. I’ve seen a lot of frightened faces, but this is the first time I’ve seen a sad expression like that.
“That customer doesn’t know how to taste. You don’t know the joy of mint chocolate, which starts with a sweet chocolate taste and ends with a refreshing taste without bitterness.”
The store owner, on the other hand, looked at Dorian and narrowed his eyes.
“Here is mint chocolate.”
He personally came out of the counter and delivered the ice cream. Ice cream was placed in a cone-shaped cookie.
– Hurry up, eat quickly. The king can’t stand it any longer!
Lars’ cold air spread and spread, covering the entire ice cream parlor.
‘Because I know. Stay still.’
Raon sighed and looked at the green ice cream. I feel the gaze from the side. The store owner and Dorian were waiting for a response, their eyes shining.
‘What is it?’
I put ice cream in my mouth, thinking that I was fighting over something that wasn’t really a big deal.
“Well.”
At first, like any other ice cream, the cool yet sweet taste engulfed my tongue. But then there was the problem. A pungent mint scent spread throughout the mouth.
what is it It’s not that it doesn’t taste bad, but it’s a very dull feeling.
– Oh! Delicious! There is no taste in the world where sweetness and cleanliness harmonize. This is a revolution!
Lars started to dance in the air, screaming a strange scream as if he liked it. I don’t know what kind of dance it was, but it looked very happy.
“How is it?”
“young master. Are you okay?”
Dorian and the clerk approached at the same time and asked for a taste.
“I’m a little bad.”
“Ugh!”
“After all, the master knows a little bit of taste! Everyone who likes mint chocolate has a tongue problem.”
The shopkeeper frowned, and Dorian smiled broadly.
– What are you doing? Eat more, eat more! hurry!
‘Heh.’
A promise was a promise. Raon frowned, but ate up the remaining mint chocolate ice cream.
“Ugh! young master! Why are you eating it again!”
Dorian waved his arm with an expression of chewing on even a lemon.
“Kah ha ha! You can deceive your mouth, but you cannot deceive your heart! It is the charm of mincho that I am attracted to even though it seems like it is not good!”
The owner tossed in another mint chocolate. Then, he said that it was free, and he forced it into his hand.
“What is the attraction? It’s just plain mediocre and weird!”
“I feel sorry for the guests who do not know the splendor of grassroots.”
Raon shook his head when he saw Dorian and the clerk fighting amongst themselves.
– What kind of genius made this! Ask me right now! I will make you the king’s subordinate!
“Who made this ice cream?”
“Ah, are you interested in history now?”
The store owner continued, muttering that Mincho is great.
“I understand that it was made by a lord from a southern province famous for ice cream. Is there even a mincho gang there?”
“Minchodan? Are you a band of thieves?”
“I can’t! This is a meeting that loves mint chocolate!”
“It’s no different than a bandit to like that.”
Dorian clicked his tongue as he looked at the shopkeeper.
“Guests, cancel those words!”
The owner shook his hand as if he was going to get up at any moment.
“ha… .”
Raon looked at the two of them and sighed deeply.
‘There are strange people everywhere.’
-Raon Sieghard! Order another mint chocolate! It’s the king’s favorite dessert! I will open a mint chocolate shop in the Demon World!
Of course, this guy is the weirdest.

next day.
Raon went down to the black market again an hour before the auction started.
‘I’m still a little angry.’
– The king is satisfied. In the future, I will turn the sea of the demon realm into grass.
Lars fell in love with mint chocolate yesterday and chose all four of the four ice creams with mint chocolate. Satisfy your absolute taste buds or something.
Anyway, he said no and ate only four mint chocolate, so Dorian shook his head, and the clerk gave him some ice cream for free, saying he was satisfied.
“Aren’t you eating mint chocolate today?”
“Because that’s not good.”
“You said that, and you ate four down. I tried it again, but it wasn’t really my taste.”
Dorian had a lemon-biting expression like yesterday.
“There was an unavoidable situation.”
I couldn’t even talk about the deal, so I was just dumbfounded.
– You don’t know the taste of mint chocolate, you’re pathetic!
Lars looked at Dorian and clicked his tongue saying that the cowardly man had no taste.
“Well, there’s still time until the auction starts, what are you going to do?”
“Let’s take a look. Because I couldn’t even look back yesterday.”
“All right.”
I still have quite a bit of money to buy a black butterfly, so I decided to wander around the black market.
A lot of special items come in here, so if you’re lucky, you might be able to find treasures at a cheap price.
I went into the nearest store. Precious metals such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings were hung. It seems to be a place that sells accessories.
The merchant was lying with his chin on the table as if he wasn’t interested. It looked like he wouldn’t care if he stole it.
‘But there’s a riot when it’s stolen.’
Monitoring and security systems using mana stones and mana are installed in both the objects and the stalls. If you steal without knowing it, you will be immediately overpowered and taken to the basement of the black market.
“What do you see?”
“It’s okay.”
Leon shook his head. The stuff here looks good, but it’s mediocre. What he was looking for was a treasure whose true abilities were not revealed.
I went to another store right next door. Accessories were hung here as well, and the items looked a little more old-fashioned and old-fashioned than the place I just saw.
‘I’m not here either.’
I looked all over the objects, but I didn’t see anything that attracted me or anything special. As I was about to go out again, my eyes focused on the rusty ring at the entrance.
‘what?’
Reminds me of that ring.
But, it’s not my memory.
A cartoonist’s knowledge embedded in his head. The ring was engraved on it.
“her!”
Raon swallowed dry saliva and grabbed the rusty ring.
‘This ring was here.’
Let’s go pour un power UP du MC
