Day 290

Day 290

The [Legendary Gambler] was a strong man. His mastery of all kinds of casino games and his ability to control the flow of the game with his outstanding skills are nothing short of admirable.

In this place, where straight-up force does not work, [Great Heroes / Heroes] [Emperors / Kings], as well as tens of thousands of others who tried to conquer the【Holy Land of Gambling】(and maybe more if you count all the guests who came to have fun) came to this place only to feel the bitterness of defeat and ended being completely penniless.

Even those who reached this point would normally have ended up being toyed with and ended up being ripped off for their fortune. However, I was able to win this time because one of my colleagues from my previous life was an amazing gambler with the highest level of【Precognition】and【Psychometry】abilities.

To be honest, even if you exclude these 2【Psychological Abilities】, the [Legendary Gambler] was a lot weaker than my colleague who was a top-notch gambler. I'll skip the details of this game because it's a long story, but after winning 2 games early, the Legendary Gambler turned into a particle of light with a smile on his face.

"I couldn't eat him", I thought to myself. If I could eat him, I would have gained even more useful abilities, so why did he turn into a particle of light? That's the only regret I have. But even so, I didn't think that the experience of losing to my former colleague in constantly would come in handy.

Just like the past Red Bear battle, where [Stench] saved my life, I thought that a demon's life is something you never know what to expect. As if to vent my frustration at not being able to obtain the body of a legendary gambler, I took a moment to change the interior of the【Holy Land of Gambling】and also renaming it to【Wailing Gambling Place】.

Honestly, I wanted to play around with the difficulty level as well as the interior, but there was no way to get around it since it was already exquisitely set up. In other labyrinths, all I had to do was strengthen the dungeon monsters, but this kind of labyrinth wasn't so easy. It takes a lot of sense and knowledge to set them up so that they don't win too much, but also don't lose. Just playing around with the interior a bit would be the limit of what I can change in the [Wailing Gambling Place].

But even so, I can still collect unsold goods from the general store. However, I didn't feel comfortable using my administrative privileges to collect the abilities that belonged to the greats of the past for free, so I consumed the huge amount of chips I got from the [Legendary Gambler].

These chips can be converted to cash, but there is a high possibility that overdoing it will upset the economy of the Atarakua Demon Empire, so converting them into cash is a bit difficult due to various factors. Therefore, it was just right to buy the leftover items from the general store.

There is still a lot more chips, but I'll enjoy them when I come back. Now the goal is strengthen Avenger and company. But I myself gained strength, as well as procured abilities useful for our purpose. So, I decided to return to the Royal Capital Osvel for a while. I'm going to enjoy shopping here until the evening. I have a lot of money.

As expected, I was doubting about what to buy. I bought a variety of games that we will be able to enjoy at home. I would buy a lot of magic items such as roulette and slots, of course, but also dice and playing cards.

Setting these items at the [Parabellum Hot Springs Village] would surely increase the dependence of the elves even more. With that amount, the money lender《Debt Hell》would flourish. When the elves can no longer repay their debts, they will work hard to earn money by being our hands and feet. As a result, the elves will become stronger and we will be richer. The Elven home will be more defensible, and the souvenirs and tales of heroism brought back from the outside will add a bit of color to the unchanged life in the forest. No one will lose, it's a perfect flow of good things.

After all, it's better to be the host than to be the people who gamble. I'm going to spread it around in the capital as well. Not only the aristocrats but also the citizens will be involved. What a devious trick I've been thinking, Kanami chided me for it. It seems that I should do it in moderation. I wondered if she was right, so I silently nodded my head. It doesn't change the fact that I'll do it, but that's beside the point.

While we were buying magic metal and various souvenirs, it was evening, so we once again entered the【Wailing Gambling Place】. We head to the restroom near the entrance, check that no one is there and deploy the Warp Gate. We go straight to our own private VIP room that was added in the 5th district, and stand in front of the【Wailing Gate】that exists there. The【Wailing Gate】is a gate that connects the labyrinths that I looted without regard to distance.

The two demons on the left and right pillars are【Ogre King】and【Ogre Emperor】. Although they are statues, they have a lively feel as if they were alive. Such is the inside of the 【Wailing Gate】, a curved space is formed, and although it is impossible to see into the future, however, it is certainly connected to the other labyrinths.

That's right, as long as you have this, it's possible to move to any labyrinth in almost an instant, even if it's an extremely long distance. Because of the existence of this【Wailing Gate】, I decided to loot the labyrinths of each country and put it into action.【Wailing Gate】will play a simple, but important role in the upcoming Holy War, but that's irrelevant for now.

Anyway, we went through the【Wailing Gate】and move to the【Wailing Waterfall】- the closest dungeon to the Royal Capital from the labyrinths I've conquered. The destination we moved to was the deepest part. There are roaring fresh water and a vast waterfall basin. Looking down on it, I deployed the Warp Gate and moved to the nearest hidden room outside.

After going outside, I hurriedly went outside before the gate closed in the wall surrounding the Labyrinth CityAquarium】. I decided to run back to the capital without using the [Skeletal Centipede] this time. The running speed is fast enough to easily overtake a horse, and I don't slow down at all.

If it were the Avenger and company, they would have run out of steam on the way due to the high speed, high paced, long distance run, but the current them can keep up with me. They have participated in the conquest of multiple【Age of the Gods Dungeons in a short period of time. The dungeon bosses were given to me, but even so, the experience of the dungeon monsters they defeated was enormous.

Their levels have risen and they have become much stronger. We continued to run at night with Avenger and company, who had become like different people. I can't wait to get to the capital and enjoy the results of our trip. There were some unexpected events, but we were able to find many delicacies. I've been thinking about how I'm going to cook, and also thinking about my next plan as I move my feet.
