Chapter 75 – Weapon Essence
Those who can’t go to the gambling house and bring small money to gamble on the street are there.
The Parakhos, whose insights have been blurred by being driven to the cliff, do not even notice what they are suffering.
An opponent who has nothing is more dangerous, so even if you have a trick that guarantees victory, you must not win unconditionally. It is also necessary to soothe in moderation so that the temper does not explode.
Even if you do that, there are times when you get hit with a blind fist and the price of an egg rubbed on your eyeball goes up. There are many cases where clothes are drooped after being caught by the neck for fraud.
As in the past, is this opponent also of that type…? No, even though there was no violent incident yet, the situation was only the impression that it was ‘the worst of the worst’.
Even if you give an answer that you can catch with your body vision, if you choose the opposite and answer accordingly, you will go to a fine answer again.
Have you already seen through your tricks? If so, I couldn’t even figure out the purpose of doing this, and I was suffocating.
“Turn it.”
Well-
A gold coin emitting a sparkling golden light that appeared with a low voice.
Even if there is no magic-even if there is no such thing as infatuation-‘money’ that makes someone freely use it.
The dwarf’s hand stopped when he saw the bag overflowing with tangible greed.
‘I can’t pass this amount of money with just a few hits…’
The excitement cooled long ago and became thin ice. Dry spittle and cold sweat soaking his beard uncontrollably.
Survival instinct that outruns greed strikes him in the head and sounds a warning light.
–
He had faith and abandoned what he had no doubts that he would do for the rest of his life.
He also abandoned his family in the place where he lived and fled.
It arrived as if rolling down an abyss. If you don’t have money, you can’t even be treated like a beast here.
It has been more than three years since I rolled into the rough and rough Limno and lived as a street gambler… A scammer.
He felt a deep aversion to the fact that the knowledge of developing magic tools that conceived a grand goal in the Federation was being consumed for mere gambling, but in the end he is this kind of person.
‘This man…’
He removed his hand from the cup and lifted his head slightly to stare at the man wearing the hood.
Dark red eyes that do not lose their light even in the dark.
A man who exudes the aura of a predator that can’t be hidden, just like ‘them’ in the Vollasen Federation.
If a strong man died while he was bored, wouldn’t that be a death that would suit him as a fugitive?
“Are you… My death?”
“That’s fucking. What the hell are you talking about? Spin it fast.”
I slid the bag of gold towards the opponent.
“This money is difficult.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t have the property to double it.”
Wooddeuk-!!
The atmosphere fluctuates and hits the table! Cracked.
“I’m so disappointed with the answer that I turned a blind eye to the nonsensical hand play.”
A life that takes your breath away.
Are you asking me to provide proof of fraud as usual?
The moment you take the standard method of a street gambler who makes a living with guts, you’ll get a real belly! It was a life that seemed to be torn apart.
“…”
However, there is no law in which a sleazy man admits to cheating with his own words.
When you’re at a disadvantage, forget about positives and negatives and just keep silent.
“Whether you use a magic tool that moves marbles or see a real match with your dexterity, this is really the last time. Even if I lose, it’s over. Even if it’s not money, it’s fine – bring out something that matches the stakes. I’ll accept your life.”
Limno’s street gambling is as long as you don’t get caught, whether you cheat or use magic tools.
However, if you get caught, even the guards will laugh at you and turn a blind eye, so you have to handle the aftermath entirely yourself.
“…Then would you accept this as a stake?”
*****
On the way back to the inn after going around an unsuccessful route.
The street gambling with the Dwarves was more memorable than the abstract quest to find an unknown collaborator.
The staked life and 10 gold coins were not returned.
In the end, to win with real dexterity rather than magic tools.
Even if he is a swindler who is said to be the most common and numerous job in Limno, isn’t the finisher a man with a shaggy beard?
I walk by rolling the round metal that rolls around in my hand.
It is like a bird’s egg, but also like a hard jewel.
However, unlike the appearance, there is an expectation that the soft thing will change into any shape.
[ Weapon Essence – 100% (Cannot be used) ]
▷Can only be used by women.
▷ It belongs to the user.
▷A variety of metals can be used.
-Artifacts, which are said to be the essence of magic science, are only imitations of this object.
*Expensive metals are not the only answer.
It is the same object as Rike’s weapon, the [Weapon for her] That has been converted into Vanitas, and her name is different.
It was completed in the golden ratio through the hands of the dwarves without the need for me to add any ingredients.
‘It’s dangerous for Rike to use another one…’
Even in Akarite, one heroine cannot be equipped with two weapons.
If it is forcibly passed on, it causes a rejection reaction in which half of HP is blown away, wondering if the wavelength and bond of the soul overlap.
There are no conflicting problems with other belonging items, but only the heroines’ weapons had such a setting attached.
‘I got it because it’s nearby~’
Literally crap.
He didn’t even think about getting it because he didn’t have much interest in the heroes except for Rike.
If you have nowhere to write… The tactile feeling of kneading and touching is good, so I think it will be enough to relieve stress.
Jerebuck-
“Eh?”
In front of the accommodation, a person wearing a hood and arms crossed is seen.
Even if you can’t see their face, you can tell who they are from their unmoving posture and uncompromising atmosphere.
“What are you doing outside?”
“…It took quite a while.”
It was an eclair without a twist.
Even in the dark, her red eyes reflect clearly.
“I thought it moved rather quickly… Let’s go upstairs to talk.”
“Now, hold on!”
Eclair stopped me trying to enter the inn.
She turned to the door of the accommodation, her eyes closed, then to me.
“?”
“I must have been to dangerous places… Are there any injuries?”
“If you’re going to explode in the back alley, you’ll have to go home. He’s unscathed and fine.”
“That’s fortunate…”
Outside of her assigned duties, her clumsiness is vaguely apparent.
There is something in the room or building that makes it difficult to get into.
If you think about her tendency and deduce, there are a few expected situations.
‘…No matter how much I can’t think of anything.’
When she asked Baek-geum such a question, she almost laughed at her foolish response.
It would be fun to see the embarrassing Eclair if you dig into that and play around with it. Seeing that it would be difficult to deal with, she held out her hand first.
“Ah~ You seem to be hungry after walking around without resting?”
Éclair’s eyes flashed as if she had found an amazing answer.
“Since my range of activities has increased by moving to my own share… I will buy even something to avoid starvation. After eating only bread and soup, I am also hungry…”
Rattle!
During the conversation, Eclair’s eyes fluttered as the inn door opened.
I followed that line of sight and saw that a beast woman opened the door and came out.
It wags her tail and waves her hand at someone inside.
-Thank you! Please call me again
“After-.”
Eclair let out a short breath as if relieved. I don’t know the details, but was that woman the cause?
When her feet stopped, she tapped her back with her hand! She wakes up by hitting.
“You said you were buying food? Let’s go.”
“Oh yeah.”
–
This time she tried to go to an ordinary restaurant, but it was mid-morning, so she entered the tavern again.
She ordered simple food that would be easy to digest and had a cup of warm bangsho for alcohol.
Seeing Eclair savoring the bang show, she becomes curious about something.
‘Considering that the bound weapon is not a ‘heroine’ as a prerequisite but a ‘female’… Can I use an eclair as well?’
In the game, it could only be handed over to the heroine, but there were no conditions that would be a problem in reality.
Even if you have this, you can’t give it to Rike.
“Take it.”
Eclair grabbed the object that had left my hand.
“What is this?”
Marvelous at the touch that was different from her appearance, she tilted her head to see if she could not understand the result of the appraisal.
“I won it in street gambling. If you give it a name with sincerity, do you think something good will happen?”
“… It doesn’t seem like something light to exchange in gambling.”
Since she didn’t explain in as much detail as Rike did, I had no choice but to know her purpose.
However, the explanation itself as the essence of magic science would seem amazing.
“It’s a gift for a friend who brings some moist fun in this dry, dull Limno.”
Éclair, holding the soft metal in her hand, put pure doubt in her eyes.
“I’m called a boring woman at work.”
It’s funny how he takes everything seriously and responds like that.
“Really? It could be a human without eyes to see. Maybe the code that’s interested is really the opposite.”
“…I’ll yield a hundred times, even if that’s the case. Wouldn’t it be right to give this kind of thing to her?”
Starting with the excuse that a similar item exists for Rike, she exchanged light words with her.
‘Because it’s so difficult to give a present.’
After a few pushes, Eclair, who had a disconcerted look on her face, opened her pocket and took her belongings.
“I’ll be grateful…”
“It doesn’t matter if you give it to your brother.”
“…”
Some subtle response.
She asked, just in case.
“Is the brooch given to you?”
Shocked, she shuddered slightly, avoiding my gaze.
“…It’s been packed and stored in the study. I plan to give it to you when I go back after this work is over.”
“I nailed it to you. Why didn’t you give it to me yet?”
“I needed to organize my thoughts. I’m worried about whether I should reveal that I met in an outdoor class…”
After hearing her story, Eclair glared at her as she raised the corner of her mouth and smiled.
It may look a bit prickly.
“Why are you laughing?”
“You think I met a good friend? There aren’t many people who are so consistent and fun.”
“…”
She didn’t answer with a delicate expression, but kept silent, and didn’t say anything until she finished her meal and returned to her quarters.
When she returned to her room, she took one look at the wall, then pulled out her papers and spread them on the floor.
“…I will change the direction of work for the sake of speedy settlement.”
