Chapter 139 – Gambling City Karzine (1)
◈
“Please, please, please, please! Please come out!”
Maybelle was very anxious.
There is only one reason.
Because I couldn’t find Calt.
The Maybell Party, realizing that their problem had recurred and guessing that Kalt was the reason, continued their journey to find Kalt.
However, even though we visit the village that Kalt is said to have visited, we continue to be unable to meet Kalt himself.
The Maybelle party had no choice but to face difficulties in finding Calt.
Kalt joined the so-called Nellis Party, a beginner party with no skills yet.
In other words, it has not yet become famous, and the guild is not the target of active tracking or spreading rumors.
In addition, no matter how many Kalts were members of Maybelle’s party, it was the hero Maybelle who mainly received attention, so the guild did not focus on one person named Kalt.
Of course, the Maybell Party doesn’t think they’ll be able to find Calt at all.
It’s the Kalt.
Kaltni is someone who is unnecessarily fond of people and gives help and advice here and there. Even if he joins a new hero party, he will definitely raise the party’s skills to the level of a veteran.
However, Maybelle’s party could not wait until Kalt raised the skills of the novice warrior party and became famous so that they could find it.
No, I didn’t want to wait.
They wanted to solve their problems as quickly as possible.
The problem has not completely returned to the level of abolition of salaries in the first period.
If it is a difficulty level B monster, you can defeat it as usual.
However, the problem was when dealing with difficulty level A monsters, which were usually their main battlefield.
Maybelle’s problem isn’t a problem as long as she encounters it, but it recurs when the fight begins in earnest, and Ianna’s concentration kicks at the moment she tries to use advanced magic, which is often used on difficulty A monsters.
And if the problem reoccurs and the two people get seriously hurt, Marti, who is blood-phobic, is helpless.
Because I know better than anyone else that it shouldn’t stay like this.
They wanted to find Kalt as soon as possible and solve the problem.
Because trouble was coming towards them from another direction.
“Why am I getting a request to investigate a demon at a time like this?”
Maybelle’s party, who had experience subduing demons, received a request from the guild to go to a place where traces of demons were said to remain and investigate.
The content is that a party encountered the dungeon boss, Master Golem, and the party’s healer reported feeling the energy of a demon.
A strong party that can at least guarantee survival even after encountering a demon.
In other words, the guild asked Maybell Party to investigate.
However, Maybelle’s party was not in a state to deal with Mine right now.
No, even when Kalt existed, Mine was never an opponent worth belittling.
Maybelle gets upset in many ways and complains a lot to Kalt.
When fighting monsters, she places more importance on her speed, so she often leaves the support to Kalt and goes on a rampage.
When she was dealing with Mine, she felt that Maybelle would be in danger if she didn’t properly cooperate with Kalt.
That’s how powerful the demon was, and the fight against the demon was quite fierce.
It is definitely not an easy fight that can be finished without a single wound.
“Maybelle, what are you going to do? The request is…”
“Of course I refuse! That’s crazy! What if we actually meet a demon? What if we don’t even have Kalt, and we’re in this situation right now! If we meet, we’ll be annihilated!”
“But it’s a request from the guild.”
“I have to say I’m busy. It’s a request in the first place, and I’m not forcing it.”
“Well… I guess I can’t help it.”
Ianna and Marti also know very well that they are no match for Mine.
Therefore, the Maybelle party decided not to go to the village near the dungeon where the Master Golem was said to have appeared.
She didn’t even know that this was her long-awaited opportunity to get a clue about Kalt.
◈
Kalt recalled what happened the morning after defeating the Master Golem.
Before Kalt’s regular morning training, Kalt asked the essence of Mine.
“The golem felt the energy of the demon yesterday. Do you know anything?”
[Yes! I will answer you, master!]
Jeongsu’s voice answered energetically.
[I guess it’s a prank by a demon!]
“A demon’s prank?”
[Even if they are demons, not all of them move with the same thoughts! While there are strong demons, there are also demons who are not very confident in battle.]
“So?”
[But just because she doesn’t participate in battle doesn’t mean she doesn’t do anything. For example, yesterday! There are times when you sneak into a dungeon, infuse energy into a monster, strengthen it, and then leave!]
“Why are you doing that?”
[This is because the monsters are strengthened and can kill humans who misjudged their power and came in, so you can make achievements without having to step up yourself!]
“In other words… There is a high probability that the demon who gave energy to the Master Golem yesterday is not around here?”
[Yes! You’re right! And since you only infuse the demon’s energy, you don’t know the status of the monster you infused, so even if the monster falls, you won’t know who killed it!]
“That’s a good thing.”
Even if you are not confident in battle, a demon is a demon.
Since he was by no means an ordinary opponent, he was already unable to leave a mark on Mine.
After hearing the words of Jeongsoo’s voice, Kalt was able to decide with peace of mind which village to go to next.
“Where do you want to go?”
“Are you leaving already?”
“First of all, the goal I wanted to achieve here has been achieved.”
“… You mean defeating that dungeon boss?”
“That’s right. The strength of the Master Golem, who was said to have felt the power of a demon at that time… To be honest, it was on a similar level to that of an ogre. And you defeated that ogre.”
Nellis’ eyes lit up at Kalt’s words.
“Oh! So we’ve joined the ranks of veteran adventurers?”
“Well, you can say that. Nellis also blocked the attack well… Arya, Scarlett attacked her right away, so she didn’t have a chance to be active, but I still think she’s capable enough.”
“Really? Umm…”
Since she had only received treatment yesterday, Aria was suspicious of Kalt’s words, but she did not strongly deny it.
At least it didn’t seem like Kalt would talk pretentiously about the battle.
Kalt immediately laid out the map on the table.
“This is where we are currently. And nearby is… Carzine, a so-called gambling city with a Colosseum, and an ordinary town with no dungeons of any kind nearby. Which one do you want to go to?”
“Either way… I don’t really care where.”
“Me too.”
“Mr. Kalt! Why is Karzine called a gambling city?”
“There are many entertainment facilities here, befitting the name of a gambling city.”
“An entertainment facility?”
“Gamblers occupy most of the place. The most popular ones are mainly dog racing to determine the winner, the common card game, and the wild card game that tests your visual acuity, but the most popular one is… The Colosseum Tournament.”
“Colosseum Tournament…”
“This city has a huge Colosseum. Small games are held there almost every day and people bet money. But once a month there is a big game. That is the Colosseum Tournament.”
“What do I get if I win this tournament?”
“In addition to the winning prize, there are prizes awarded each time the tournament is held. It is random as it can only be found out after the tournament is held.”
“I see…”
Nellis looked with her beady eyes at the part where the gambling city was.
“Are you interested in the Colosseum?”
“Huh!? Ah, no~ Well~ I just got certified as a veteran by Mr. Kalt… I’m curious about your skills… But, if I go out, won’t I do a good job!”
I am happy that my skills have been recognized by Kalt.
So, the recognized skill was a very simple desire to show it to others.
And Kalt viewed such motivation positively.
‘Because everyone has a desire for recognition. Besides, it’s good to use that as a driving force to want to become stronger.’
Kalt knows very well how motivated the desire for recognition is in people.
A representative example is Maybelle.
As her skills gradually improve, more and more people tell her that she is great, so Maybelle’s arrogance will increase, and she will show off her better side! While she was doing it, there were rare times when she was active in training given by Kalt.
Although she didn’t last long, Kalt still remembers that Maybelle’s growth at that time was noticeably good.
“Then… Let’s go to Karzine. Let’s test how well Nellis can compete with the strong players competing here.”
“Yes! Mr. Kalt! I will work hard!”
Nellis’ bright eyes were full of motivation.
And the next day.
The women of Nellis’ party as they depart for Carzine.
Especially for Aria and Scarlett, it was a difficult time for her.
Aria had already discovered the taste of Kalt’s dick.
Scarlett also came to a time when her body was in the midst of wanting pleasure as her uterus was stabbed again and again by Kalt’s original cock for two days in a row.
In the meantime, she got into her carriage heading towards Karzine.
The period of traveling to Karzine in her carriage was 4 days.
During those four days, Scarlett and Aria did not have proper sex.
