Episode 230
Standing on the top of Bukmansan Mountain, Loen looked at Raon as she left the annex and blew in the wind.
‘You got used to it after all.’
In less than a month, Raon learned the sounding ball and mixed it with his own martial arts.
‘No, that’s not all.’
He not only developed hyangeumgong with the existing martial arts, but also raised his swordsmanship achievement through hyangeumgong. The lack is clear, but he did not shut his mouth to achieve that level in a month.
“How did the Lord see you?”
Loen turned around and called Glenn, who was behind her back.
“It seems that the secret of the sword was pulled out of the incense ball.”
Glenn’s voice was calm, as if he had no feelings, but his lips were high in the sky without realizing it.
“It’s not just a kid following a well-maintained road. He is a greedy guy who uses the tools given to him to make a better path than before.”
“I think so too.”
Ron smiled softly and nodded her head. As Glenn said, Raon was a monster who developed the class of martial arts itself with endless effort and outstanding talent.
“It is novel to make a sound with the sound of the foot sword and the name of the sword. Since there are two types of sounds, it is not easy for the enemy to understand, and the applicability is good. It seems like a good swordsmanship will be made.”
“Well, it is not… .”
When he praised Raon, Glenn’s smile grew stronger and his movements increased.
‘anyway.’
Loen smiled softly as she watched Glenn’s reaction.
‘Because you can’t be honest.’
Seeing him rejoicing at his grandson’s praise, he was an unstoppable grandfather.
‘I wish you could be a little more honest.’
I know why Glenn keeps away from Raon and Sylvia, but this time, they agree with Limer. I hope that we can reveal our honest feelings before it is too late and the relationship can be restored.
“Looking at the current pace of development, if you practice consistently for about half a year, it seems that his own martial arts will be born.”
Glenn’s eyes twinkled as he looked forward to seeing his grandson grow up.
“It’s not like I’m learning a new martial art in half a year, and it’s scary to make it.”
Loen smiled as she looked at the calm lake.
“However, even Raon-sama like that can’t be helped by Harry-sama.”
His real name is Harian Sieghardt. It was a long time ago, but it was impossible for Raon to win against him because he was a talent recognized by Glenn.
“I won’t even go to Muhak.”
Glenn clicked his tongue briefly.
“Because I can’t get over gambling, let alone drinking.”
As its name suggests, the gambling skill of the robber is enough to resonate the entire continent. It was absurd that Raon, who had learned poorly from Limer, would win against him.
“and… .”
Glenn turned his back when he saw Raon disappeared.
“Liquor should be taught by adults. Hmm!”
He coughed briefly and then disappeared like smoke from the spot.
“Fufu.”
Loen smiled faintly as she looked at the place where Glenn had disappeared.
“sure. It would be best to learn from Grandpa.”
* * *
Raon, along with Dorian, who was trembling with anxiety, stood in front of the gambling hall that Limer had informed him of.
“Gee, are you really going?”
Dorian trembled as he looked at the entrance to the gambling hall.
“Destroy! The destruction that made a name for itself in gambling across the continent! It’s different from the Hogus I’ve been through!”
He shook his head, saying that this is not really possible.
“They weren’t Hogu either.”
Raon smiled brightly. The gamblers you’ve broken before are experts among experts. I won thanks to Lars, but if I had been alone, I wouldn’t have been able to win so overwhelmingly.
“Feel free to follow me.”
Raon slapped Dorian on the shoulder and entered the gambling room. Even in broad daylight, the inside of the gambling hall was crowded with people, and it was filled with dark and gloomy energy.
‘I said central.’
According to the information Judiel brought, he said that the theft was always held in the center of the gambling hall. I looked in the middle and there was a large table with people gathered.
“ah!”
Raon looked at the table and widened his eyes. It’s not because I saw the robbery. It was because the red-haired elf sitting outside the table was too familiar.
“Aaah! shit!”
red haired elf. Limer grabbed her head and screamed. It looked like he was bankrupt after betting money again from where he got his money.
“One more shot! What the hell!”
“You come to me like a zombie without getting tired.”
He looked at the other side of Limer with a sneering laugh mixed with iron. The black-haired giant with wide shoulders was grinning with a card inserted in his finger.
‘Is the author a robber? .’
Black hair and red eyes. The size of a monster as huge as a monster and the terrifying tattoos that covered its skin were the same as the impression clothes that Judiel told me. That man with a beastly smile was the collapsed Harryian Sieghardt.
‘It’s stronger than I expected.’
Raon frowned. He said he likes gambling and alcohol, so I expected his skills to have deteriorated, but it’s not at all. Even though he was just sitting and smiling, he was emitting an unbelievable airwave.
“If you run out of money, take it all off and go away.”
The thief gently waved his hands and collected the gold coins on the table.
A mountain of gold coins piled up in front of him, apparently because he had won money from other people besides Limer. That, too, is a peculiarity of the robbery. He gambled only with gold coins, not chips.
“Jenjang! Will come again! I will definitely come back!”
Rimer got up with a line that could be compared to a third-rate villain.
“Everyone, Danju, it looks like you got robbed again? Are you really going? I don’t want to see all the short-distance and non-stop-jury being robbed!”
“I am different from Danju.”
He took a brief taste of Raon and walked forward. He sat across from the vacant thief.
“You play with me too.”
Raon smiled and looked into the robber’s red eyes.
“Where is the guy who doesn’t even have blood on his head? This is not the place for a kid like you.”
“uh! It’s the Sulwhasoo Swordsmanship!”
“Raon Sieghard?”
“Why is the continent’s youngest master here!”
“Did you come here for Dan-ju’s revenge?”
Others revealed their names first, without needing to introduce themselves.
“La, Raon?”
Rimer, who threw down her clothes and even took off her shoes, opened her eyes.
“Are you really here?”
“Then will you come as a fake?”
“no! Yumma!”
Limer ran over and grabbed his shoulder.
“That man is a real venom! If there is a place to wash money, I will never miss it! Wake up quickly!”
“it’s okay. Because I am the same.”
“uh? uh, that’s it… .”
He murmured that the two were really similar.
“Do not worry. Gambling is just the starting point.”
“You really… .”
“yes. I have to. three pills.”
Raon smiled and nodded his head.
‘It’s a great opportunity.’
Of course, the money Limer lost was to be recovered, and the real purpose was to fulfill the three drugs and make a wish to the thief.
“Are you Raon Sieghardt, the youngest master in the history of the continent?”
As if he had left Sieghard, he seemed to have only heard rumors without knowing his own face.
“That’s right.”
Raon leaned his back on the chair and nodded.
“The name is fine. But in gambling, you need money, not fame… .”
“Dorian.”
Stop the robbery and take your wallet. No, I called Dorian.
“Eww.”
Dorian sighed and put his hand in his stomach pocket. Five heavy furoshiki were held in the hand that came out again.
Quarr!
Raon opened the cloth and poured it on the table.
“First, 500 gold coins. Would this be enough?”
“It was a friend who could talk.”
The robber looked at the pile of gold coins on the table and ate his mouth for a long time. However, the emotion reflected in his eyes seemed far from desire.
“Did you say you were applying for three drugs?”
“Yes.”
“Then, do you know that if you lose, you will be kicked out with everything you have?”
“of course.”
Leon nodded his head. Because he loses everything and gets kicked out, Limer becomes a beggar every time.
“great. I will accept your three drugs.”
He nodded and placed his hand on the table. The card fluttered between his fingers.
“Oh oh!”
“Aren’t you the youngest contender?”
“Right! Who is going to try three drugs at the age of 18!”
“Crazy! Sulwhasoohyeop vs. the destruction!”
“Shall we open the plate, too?”
“But this isn’t a competition, it’s gambling. I can’t even drink and I think I’ll end up at gambling… .”
“You must have gambled when you were 18 years old.”
“Oh, I want to see you two fighting… .”
People who liked the match they couldn’t even imagine, judged that Raon would not be able to overcome gambling and alcohol, and gave up their taste in regret.
“What kind of gambling do you like? card? dice? roulette?”
“Anything is fine.”
Raon smiled and shrugged.
“I’m confident. Then let’s start with poker.”
The thief let out a similar laugh and took the card.
“It’s my first time, so I’ll give you some advice. The rules here are different from outside. I don’t mind cheating. The one who didn’t find it is bad and stupid. Do you understand?”
Again, he waved the card with his finger on it. It seemed like a habit of gambling, but it was very annoying.
“In other words, deception and fraud are justice in this edition, unless caught.”
“What happens when you find the trick?”
“You don’t have to talk about impossible things.”
“Then, if I can find your trick, would you like to fight with pure skill alone?”
“Haha, I must have friends like this.”
The thief smirked and shook his head.
“great. Try it once.”
He raised the corners of his lips as if to do whatever he wanted.
‘Ras.’
Raon called Lass while watching the destruction of cards shuffling. A blue light emanated from above the bracelet.
‘It’s your turn. Find all the elements that can be used for trickery in the robber’s body.’
-hate.
‘uh?’
-Find them all, it’s a loss to the real king.
Lars quickly turned his head as if to refuse.
‘Why all of a sudden?”
I pretended to be a good listener and then suddenly said that, I was embarrassed. He called Lars again, taking care of his facial expressions so that the thief wouldn’t find out.
‘I’ll help you. I told you to go quickly.’
– Too late!
‘I had no choice but to prepare.’
– To make me wait for a month, and to find all those secret energy. No matter how much you think about it, it’s the king’s loss. So… .
Lars lowered his voice as if he wanted something else. Dry saliva ran down my throat at the thought that a request for a body would come out.
‘Not now.’
It was an impossible request, so I thought about what to do, but the words that came out of Lars’ mouth were completely different from what I had thought.
-I’ll add one more marbled ice cream. The king wants 3 marble ice cream boxes!
Lars shouted ice cream in a serious tone that seemed to be aiming for a similar world.
‘ah… .’
Raon quickly closed his eyes and opened them.
‘Oh, ice cream?’
-Yes! All of them will be chosen according to the taste the king wants!
It was absurd, but I could have listened to anything like that.
‘Get one more box!’
– I will do my best!
Lars jumped and ran towards the thief. His senses far exceed that of a human being. Even if he deceived Limer, he could not escape Lars’ gaze.
– First of all, this ring. It seems to have a sound-killing effect. And this necklace has the ability to disturb the gaze.
‘I can see how to use it.’
The sound-killing effect will be used when the bottom is removed, and the necklace will be used to divert your attention at the moment of using the trick.
Seeing that the flow of mana was too thin to even feel it, it was clear that it was a superlative artifact made for gambling.
– The tattoo on the back of his hand is also strange. It seems to be related to this card. Mana is so faint that it can only be identified by smell.
‘Okay.’
Raon nodded and raised his chin.
“Dammit. First, take off the ring and necklace.”
“uh?”
The hand of the thief who was about to throw the card stopped abruptly.
“What did you just say?”
“I told you to take off your ring and necklace.”
Raon pinched the ring and necklace with powers.
“It’s fashionable… .”
“The ring worn on the index finger of the right hand has the effect of reducing the sound when desired, and the necklace has a distraction effect, right? Stop making silly excuses.”
“… How did know?”
The thief’s laughter stopped for the first time. He shook his chin and rolled his eyes as if there was no reason.
“I have a good feeling.”
Raon smiled softly and shrugged.
– Persimmons freeze to death! Isn’t that the power of the main king?
Lars waved his hand as if to stop talking nonsense.
“Ji, is it true?”
“Did you notice the robbery’s trick right away?”
“crazy… .”
“Oh, the game hasn’t even started yet, is it possible to find a cheat?
The onlookers opened their mouths as they saw Raon, who had grasped the secret of the destruction at once.
“Ha, good. I said I would quit if I got caught, so I’ll keep my promise.”
The thief took off the necklace and ring and set it down on the edge of the table.
“If you want to stop cheating, you have to erase it too.”
Raon pointed to the tattoo on the back of the thief’s hand.
“You can check this side’s hand with that, right?”
“Really… .”
The thief grinned and rubbed the back of his hand with his finger. The tattoo, which seemed to have been there for the rest of his life, disappeared.
“Is it okay now?”
There is no sign of shame even when the deception is discovered. Seeing him waving a new card with a tone that seemed a bit annoying, he didn’t just announce his name to the whole continent.
“Then let’s get started.”
The robber groaned and turned the card.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the card caught in the thief’s finger.
‘If you don’t get caught, deception is justice… .’
Then today I will be right.
* * *
“Hmm.”
Dokai rubbed his fingers while looking straight into Raon’s eyes as he held the card.
‘Did you think you would beat me if you didn’t cheat?’
Sometimes there are idiots who think that they only got here by cheating.
However, cheating is only used to suck money from the hogus, and in real gamblers, the person who understands the other person’s psychology first wins.
That little guy’s sense is certainly astonishing, but he can’t beat himself. Sooner or later, you will be kicked out with all your facial expressions and actions identified.
“Shall we start with 100 gold coins?”
The robber didn’t even look at the hand, and pushed 100 gold coins onto the table. It was a search battle to see how the opponent came out and reacted.
“good.”
Raon checked his hand with a calm expression and poured 100 gold coins into the center of the table.
“Then let’s see.”
The thief opened the card. It was a triple with the same number consecutively.
“Back straight. I won.”
Raon’s cards are back straight from 1 to 5. He smiled faintly and took 200 gold coins.
Even though 100 gold coins were blown away, the collapse was calm.
‘It doesn’t matter how much you lose.’
In the end, it’s me who wins.
It wasn’t for nothing that he got the nickname of a gambling monster. Whether it was ignorance or gambling, he was more confident than anyone in understanding the psychology of his opponent.
“This time I will turn.”
Raon shuffles the cards and turns them in turn.
Do-Ki did not look at his hand again this time, but observed Raon’s expression.
‘A face is an expression without words.’
People show more with their expressions than with words, and it is this gambling board that contains all the joys and sorrows of life. Understanding the psychology of such a young guy was like eating a piece of cake.
“200 gold coins.”
The robbery pushed in twice as much money as the first.
“good.”
Raon did not refuse and poured all the other money into the center of the table.
The thief turned his hand over. This time it was a one pair, and looking ahead, Raon was a two pair.
“I won this time too.”
Raon smiled a little and took the card again.
“Good. Let’s continue.”
The thief smiled brightly. Money is the most terrifying weapon. The more gold coins piled up on the table, the more destruction will be revealed on that guy’s face.
However.
When the ten plates passed, the collapse’s confidence had faded like a mist.
‘Well… .’
The thief swallowed a groan inwardly.
‘What is that guy?’
Raon’s expression did not change even if he had a good hand or a bad hand. As if wearing a mask, the mind could not be read at all.
‘Is this the face of an 18-year-old?’
I felt like I was dealing with a gambler, spy, or assassin who had gone through everything before, rather than an 18-year-old because I was too emotional.
‘I am the one who is losing there.’
In ten rounds, the winner and loser were half-and-half 5:5, but in the end, it was he who lost the money. Raon never made a loss by not calling like a ghost or betting only a low amount when his hand was strong.
The robber checked his hand without showing his bewildered expression.
‘One pair.’
A pair of two cards of the same number is a low hand. The shape was also heart-shaped, so the ranking was also poor. But I wanted to break down that plain face once.
“1500 gold coins.”
The robber bets the same amount of gold coins that Raon had and pours it onto the table. He glanced down at Raon’s eyes that were dazzling with gold.
‘uh?’
no anxiety?
Raon’s red eyes did not waver even as he looked at the gold coins piled up like a mountain. As before, it was full of peace.
“Call.”
Raon poured out all the gold coins he had with a calm look as if he was drinking tea.
‘What the hell do you have? Stipple?’
To spend more than 1,500 gold coins, it was clear that there would be a four-card or straight flush.
While chewing on the inside of his cheek, he waited for Raon to open the tile. But his hand was far from that.
“Wow, one pair?”
Raon’s hand is the same one pair as himself. However, it was a spade higher than the heart.
“I won.”
Raon threw two spades on the table and smiled.
“What, what!”
“Burn 3,000 gold coins in one pair?”
“Hey, crazy! Both are crazy!”
“But now, isn’t it that the Sulwhasoo Swordsman Association continues to win?”
“So. The destruction is being pushed one-sidedly!”
The spectators gulped dry saliva as they looked at the gold coins that welled up on Raon’s side.
“It’s beginner’s luck. It will be over soon.”
“okay. Things will soon turn around. wait!”
“The destruction is a slow starter! This is the beginning!”
People who believed in the destruction were talking about a long way to go, but after 5 more rounds, they all shut their mouths.
“What… .”
The robber couldn’t stand it, and opened his mouth. He won 3 out of 5 and lost 2, but again, Raon won the money. Now, there were not even 50 gold coins left on the table.
‘How did this happen… .’
This is the first time No matter how lucky a beginner may be, it is impossible to choose and avoid only when a good hand comes out.
‘Wait a minute… no way!’
The thief swallowed dry saliva.
‘Did I get caught?’
If the win and loss is almost 5:5, but only one loses money and the other wins big, there is one reason. It means that their facial expressions and reactions are exposed.
“Ugh.”
He forced himself to control his expression and lifted his head. Raon’s sunken eyes looked straight at him. A chilling goose swelled up his spine in vivid red eyes.
‘Are you sure.’
He knows what cards I’ve been playing.
Other than that, I couldn’t lose money like this.
“What did you do?”
“What are you doing?”
Raon smiled as softly as when he received the card.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Don’t lie. Winning and losing are the same, but I’m only losing! I’ve been on countless gambling boards, but I’ve never been like this before!”
“no. It’s true that you didn’t do anything.”
“what!”
“Didn’t the Doge-sama tell you? If you don’t get caught, it’s not a scam, it’s justice.”
Raon smiled as he wiped the gold coins piled up next to him.
“A deceiver is an idiot.”
“you… .”
The thief crumpled up the stack of cards he held in his hand without realizing it.
Hit u back huh
‘it’s not a scam its justice’
