I was reincarnated as a famous genius with the greatest talent ever. Episode 175
116. To Atalia Island (4)
“W-what!”
Elroy was startled and screamed.
This is not it.
It was different from the card he was holding just now.
Is there something wrong with my eyes?
That can’t be possible.
The genealogy he was holding was exactly two levels higher than the one he handed to Dane.
however… … .
‘Why did the lowest genealogy come out?’
The hand he opened now was completely different.
As if possessed by some kind of ghost.
Dane looked at the figure and the card in turn and chuckled.
“You’re bold.”
“W-what?”
“I can’t believe you can bet this much money on a genealogy like that. “It’s a long shot.”
Dane said as if he was really surprised and turned over his card.
“This is me.”
The hand given to Dane matched the hand they had planned.
However, if things had gone as they were, they should have been higher… … .
Now Dane has won.
“I won. “I couldn’t believe it.”
“… … .”
Something impossible happened.
Chic, chichichik!
Cheek!
Screaming signals flying into Elroy’s ears.
I mean, how did this happen?
Thanks to this, Elroy was now just staring blankly at his hand and muttering.
“That can’t be possible…” … No way… … .”
Even now, everyone’s eyes were focused on this.
Because so much money was exchanged.
In fact, everyone was glancing in this direction earlier, and now they are staring openly.
“What, did they lose?”
“The captain earlier was having fun shaking it off… … .”
“Who is that little boy? “Why did you rob those guys?”
Everyone looked full of surprise, disbelief, and absurdity.
Among the dogs, some people seemed to be happy.
That’s because Captain Calico wasn’t the only one robbed.
Of course, Eloy was thinking about what had just happened.
‘For sure… … For sure… … .’
It was clearly that hand right before he checked and overturned it, so why did it change?
‘This guy can’t believe he betrayed me… … ?’
A doubt suddenly rose in Elroy’s mind.
The gang’s wizard, Dos.
Then, from earlier, I couldn’t believe this guy… … .
‘Damn it, I’ve been wondering about the distribution ratio for a while now.’
Elroy’s hands shook with anger.
This guy seems to be the cause.
If you think about it, it was strange.
In the first place, you shouldn’t lose even one game unless it was an ‘intentional loss’, but you have already lost several times.
I was so blinded by money that I just tried to ignore the strangeness.
‘okay. ‘Dose, was this bastard collaborating with that kid?’
Otherwise, there is no way they would lose if they only gave the opponent a losing hand and gave themselves a winning hand.
The curiosity has been resolved.
“then.”
Meanwhile, Dane took away not only the ship’s title but also the money that Elroy had provided.
Eloi’s gang became penniless in an instant.
Just like the countless thugs they have robbed so far.
“There’s nothing more to bet, right?”
“… … .”
Do you have the courage to do so?
All that’s left is a few handfuls of silver coins.
‘Damn it, somehow… … .’
I can’t leave like this.
You have to look for a gap.
I don’t know what he’s doing, but he must get that money back.

Even if I chase him and kill him later.
“Oh right.”
Dane suddenly took out a gold coin.
Ting!
Then he snapped his fingers and handed it to Elroy.
“It’s a bit unfair to just pick it and leave.”
Then, he took out another gold coin and flipped it, bounced it, and distributed it to the Eloi gang one by one.
“You all too. “Even if it’s not as bad as this friend’s, it will make you feel sick.”
It was at that time that Eloy was about to get angry.
“Please buy something for the four of us to get along well. Oh, since we’re on the same side, are we always on good terms?”
“… … !”
The gang’s eyes widen at Dane’s words, as if they had made a promise.
That… … How did you know?
Here, Dane added confidence to Elroy’s suspicions that he had just heard.
“thank you. “Thanks to you.”
Words you don’t know who you’re talking to.
It seems like he’s just saying thank you for helping him win money, but to Eloy, who is full of doubts right now… … .
‘Dos this bastard really… … .’
These were words that literally lit a fire.
“then.”
Dane got up from his seat, and Eloy had to look behind him.
But even for a moment.
“Follow me.”
Elroy gave a signal.
Then, two tough-looking men sitting at another table stood up and chased Dane out with a delay.
Burr, Eloi’s hands are shaking.
And the hand turned towards Doss.
Pow!
“Ahh!”
It’s Eloy who beats up Dos.
Doss was hit out of nowhere and was left lying flat.
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“You bastard… … How dare you hit betrayal?”
Elroy’s eyes glowed sinisterly.
“Bae, what a betrayal! What are you talking about!”
“okay. Otherwise, there is no explanation. The hand that just came into my hand was different from the hand that I opened and checked. “Is there anyone else besides you?”
Doss’ lips trembled as he heard Eloy’s question in a whisper.
“Nonsense! I beat that guy… … town.”
Eloi seemed to not want to hear any more, and covered her mouth so that no one would hear.
“Betrayal… … “There must be a corresponding price.”
Sreung.
Elroy took out a dagger from his arms.
* * *
When I make plans, I usually imagine the best outcome. Such is the case now.
Captain Calico’s ship title.
An item worth at least 1,000 gold coins.
Since they robbed such items, even if they were scammers and gamblers, they would not sit still even if they lost.
So I brushed it all off.
Even the soul is destroyed.
“Dane is really amazing… … “How on earth did you win everything like that?”
“At first I lost, and after I roughly figured it out, it was my skill.”
At first, I lost on purpose to figure out their tricks and to distract them from their guard.
And after figuring out the method, he went on a winning streak.
From here on, it’s about my skills and spirit.
All I had to do was not get caught by the trick, so if I felt like I was going to die, I quickly gave up and went for the next hand.
They probably couldn’t have imagined that the hand I received would have been different.
“Then what about at the end?”
“It’s magic.”
“Magic… … ah!”
“It was an illusion magic that made the card numbers and patterns look different.”
There was one among them who used that magic, so I just returned it as is.
Like they did, they used it so that the moment the hand was turned over, it went back to its original state.
In the end, they lost the whole time, and in the end, they got back everything they had done so far.
“This is why you shouldn’t even pay attention to gambling. “Ernest, if there’s anyone who suggests something like that to you, cut off the relationship.”
“Yes! “I’ll keep that in mind!”
I was just relieving boredom from my previous life, and I didn’t risk my life anyway.
Your life is at stake in every battle.
However, if it is everyday life rather than a battlefield, the story is different.
Daily life and gambling become reversed, and you end up in complete ruin.
In fact, there are many nobles who fell into this type of gambling and squandered their family assets and even lost their fiefdoms.
I’m just picking up cards out of necessity, and I have no intention of playing them for fun.
“Anyway, I made a lot of money thanks to you.”
Captain Calico’s ship title was recovered, and all the money they had was stolen.
A truly heavy bag of gold coins.
“If I save about 10,000 gold coins, can I buy a castle somewhere?”
It’s not that it’s not, but a lot of money is piling up.
At this rate, even if you go to and from Elebor, you will still have money left over.
“That’s a good idea. Our own territory, something like that? Ah, I guess it won’t work because of imperial law… … ?”
That’s all, just figure it out slowly.
Or, you can make a big contribution later and ask for just one last name.
Or, we could ask for a suitable territory in the capital or the outskirts and use it as our hideout.
For now… … .
When you focus on dealing with those who are following you.
“Ernest. “Go to the dormitory right now and join your friends.”
“What about you, Dane?”
“I’ll go straight to the captain. “There’s something following you.”
“Mi, tailing?”
Two men following behind.
“Then shouldn’t we expose the accommodation?”
“It’s more dangerous if you fall awkwardly. Go straight to the accommodation. And let me know the situation.”
From then on, it’s safe.
If you’re with the rest, Ernest won’t be in any danger.
“Then Dane, you…” … .”
“We need to tail them and secure the captain first. “Maybe the moment we are torn apart, those two will be scattered too.”
“Uh, huh!”
At that time, Ernest suddenly asked.
“if… … “Can I do it too?”
“what?”
“It’s about following up.”
I chuckled at those words.
“Are you confident?”
“I’ve been training diligently until now, I have the items you gave me, and I’ve learned enough self-defense techniques… … And above all, I have a trap, right?”
The basics of the trap I told you about.
It means that you want to try it out.
I nodded willingly.
“good. “But when it gets dangerous, we immediately evade it.”
I don’t know what it’s like to go up against a strong sailor, but I think I’ll be able to at least outrun him.
Because I taught it that way.
“then. Life is the most important thing in the world. That’s my father’s saying. “You have to survive to explore!”
He is a great person.
I hope I can see you someday.
“good. Let’s disperse. “I’ll take the captain with me later.”
“huh. “See you later.”
I smiled happily as I looked at Ernest’s confident back.
guy.
You’ve grown.
When I first met him in the Garden of Fog, I thought he was a corrupt person and some kind of exploration department.
Okay then… … .
where.
“I knew it.”
The moment they dispersed, they panicked and were torn in two.
One to Ernest.
The other one is for me.
I headed straight toward the alley.
The first thing to do is to deal with it first.
This is the best place to avoid attracting people’s attention.
I entered the alley, stopped on purpose, and only used ‘Shadow Stealth’ after slightly sticking my head out to confirm that the guy was coming this way.
After a while.
Wow!
The guy who came into the alley and was looking around for me when I disappeared got hit in the back of the head and fell down.
“This is the end.”
I searched his arms.
Nothing special.
Looking at his tattoos, he looks like a sailor, but he seems to have been a daily mercenary for some money from those guys.
“Then let’s go to the captain now.”
I roughly placed the unconscious guy against the wall and headed straight to the first tavern I went to.
As expected, it was here.
“… … “Did you come here after ruining everyone too?”
I grinned and shook my head at Captain Calico’s words.
“It can’t be. “Captain.”
“Do you know me?”
Instead of answering, I roughly pulled a chair and sat down in front of Captain Calico.
He then took out the ship’s title certificate from his pocket and showed it to me.
“Uh, that!”
Captain Calico’s hand suddenly stretched out, but I quickly withdrew the certificate of authority and dodged it.
“This is mine now, what should I do?”
“Please, please! “It means my whole life!”
“Then it shouldn’t have been taken away. “That too with gambling.”
“… … .”
There will be nothing to say.
To be honest, it is true that from our perspective, we only lost time.
If Captain Calico hadn’t gambled, he would probably have been ready to set sail by now.
But thanks to this, time was delayed and I took an unnecessary risk.
It was resolved well, but I have no intention of just handing it over.
“I got this from them.”
“… … Are you going to ask me to play some game again?”
I shook my head.
“You probably received a call from Baron Dillon a while ago.”
Captain Calico’s eyes widened when he heard the name Baron Dillon.
“Well, then… … The students who were said to be visiting Demaras soon… … .”
“It’s us.”
Captain Calico lowered his head.
“All I can say is that I’m sorry… … “There’s nothing to do.”
Of course.
We lost the boat we should have been on by now by gambling.
“If you’re sorry, please quickly prepare for departure. “We got the ship back anyway.”
“Well, are you returning the boat?”
“no.”
Again, the boat is mine.
Because I have the title in my hand.
Above all, if it weren’t for me, Captain Calico would have squandered not only his ship but also his remaining family assets.
I stopped that.
So Captain Calico has nothing to say now.
“then… … .”
I suggested.
“Let’s negotiate. “For the good of both sides.”
