Chapter 230
Standing halfway up Mt. Bukmang, Loen looked up at Raon leaving the annex and let out a fuss.
‘After all, you’ve learned it.’
Raon learned Hyangeumgong in a short period of time of less than a month, and mixed it with his own martial arts.
‘No, that’s not all.’
He not only developed Hyang-Eum Gong as an existing martial art, but also raised the achievement of swordsmanship through Hyang-Eum Gong. It was clear that he was lacking, but he couldn’t keep his mouth shut at the fact that he had reached that level in a month.
“How did the head of the household look?”
Loen turned around and called out to Glenn, who had his hands behind his back.
“It looks like you pulled out the secret of Chunggeom from Hyangeumgong.”
Glenn’s voice was calm, as if he had no sense of it, but the corners of his mouth rose without knowing how high it was.
“I am not just a kid following a well-paved road. He is a greedy guy who uses the tools given to him to create better roads than before.”
“I think so too.”
Ron smiled lightly and nodded. As Glenn said, Raon was a monster who developed the status of martial arts through endless effort and outstanding talent.
“It is novel to make sounds with the sound of a sword and sword. Since there are two types of sound, it is not easy for the enemy to understand, and the applicability is good. I think it will make good swordsmanship.”
“Well, not really… .”
When he praised Raon, Glenn’s smile grew thicker and his movements increased.
‘anyway.’
Roen smiled lightly at Glenn’s reaction.
‘Because you can’t be honest.’
Seeing how happy he was at his grandson’s praise, he was a good old man.
‘I wish I could be a little more honest.’
I know why Glenn keeps away from Raon and Sylvia, but I agree with Rimer this time. I hope her honest feelings will be revealed before it is too late and the relationship will be restored.
“Looking at the current rate of development, it seems that if he trains steadily for half a year, his own martial arts will be born.”
Glenn’s eyes sparkled as if he was looking forward to seeing his grandson grow up.
“It’s not like learning a new martial arts in half a year, and making it is scary.”
Loen laughed at the calm lake.
“However, even Raon-nim like that can’t be helped by Haerian-nim.”
Dohee’s real name is Harrian Sieghart. Although he was a long time ago, it was impossible for Raon to win against him because he was recognized by Glenn as a competent person.
“I won’t even go to Muhak.”
Glenn clicked his tongue briefly.
“Because you won’t be able to get past gambling, let alone drinking.”
Do-Hae’s gambling skill is enough to resonate throughout the continent, just like his nickname. It was absurd that Raon, who had poorly learned from Rimer, would win against him.
“and… .”
When Glenn saw Raon gone, he turned his back.
“Alcohol is a law that must be learned from adults. Big!”
He cleared his throat briefly and then disappeared like smoke on the spot.
“Whoops.”
Loen looked at the place where Glenn disappeared and smiled lightly.
“sure. It would be best to learn from your grandfather.”
* * *
Raon stood in front of the gambling house Rimer had told him about along with Dorian, who was trembling with anxiety.
“Ji, are you really going?”
Dorian trembled as he looked at the entrance to the gambling house.
“Collapse! The collapse that made a name for gambling throughout the continent! It’s different from the hukou I’ve been through so far!”
He shook his head, saying, “This is really bad.”
“They weren’t hogu either.”
Raon smiled. Gamblers who have broken before are experts among experts. He won thanks to Lars, but if he had been alone, he wouldn’t have won so overwhelmingly.
“Feel free and follow me.”
Raon slapped Dorian on the shoulder and went into the gambling den. Even in broad daylight, the inside of the gambling hall was crowded with people, and it was filled with gloomy and shady energy.
‘I said it was the center.’
According to the information brought by Judiel, it was said that Dohae always opened a table in the center of the gambling house. Looking in the middle, there was a large table with people gathered.
“ah!”
Raon looked at the table and widened his eyes. It’s not because she saw the destruction. It was because the red-haired elf sitting outside the table was too used to it.
“Quaaaaaagh! shit!”
Red haired elf. Rimer grabbed his head and screamed. He didn’t know where he got the money from, and it seemed like he bet again and went bankrupt.
“Another tip! Damn it!”
“You come to me without getting tired like a zombie.”
I looked across from Rimer with a mocking laugh mixed with a metal sound. A black-haired giant with broad shoulders smirked, holding a card in her finger.
‘Is the author a saboteur… .’
Red eyes with dark hair. The gigantic body comparable to that of a monster and the vicious tattoos covering its skin were the same as the clothes Judiel had told me about. That man with a beastly smile was the thief Harrian Sieghart.
‘It’s stronger than expected.’
Raon frowned. He said he likes gambling and drinking, so I expected his skills to be low, but it wasn’t at all. He was just emitting incredible air waves even as he sat and laughed.
“If you run out of money, take it all off and leave.”
Do-Hae lightly shook his hand and collected the gold coins on the table.
A mountain of gold coins piled up in front of him, as if he had won other people’s money besides Rimmer. That, too, is a peculiarity of the destruction. He gambled only with gold coins, not chips.
“Jianjang! will come again! I will definitely come back!”
Rimer uttered lines like a third-rate villain and stood up.
“Danju, it looks like you’ve been robbed again? Are you really going? I don’t want to see all of the single and non-danju be stolen!”

“I’m different from Danju.”
I took a short sip of Raon and walked forward. She sat across from the vacant caravan.
“You want to play with me too.”
Raon smiled and looked at Dohae’s red eyes.
“Where is the guy with no blood on his head? This is not a place for a kid like you to come.”
“uh! It’s the Snowflake Swordsman!”
“Raon Sieghart?”
“Why is the continent’s youngest Master here!”
“Could you come here to avenge Danju?”
There was no need to introduce yourself, other people revealed their names first.
“Ra, Raon?”
Rimer, who threw off her clothes and even took off her shoes, widened her eyes.
“Are you really here?”
“Then would you like to come fake?”
“no! Yumma!”
Rimmer ran over and grabbed his shoulder.
“That person is a real venom! If there is a corner to suck money, I will never miss it! Get up quickly!”
“it’s okay. Because I am similar.”
“uh? uh, that’s it… .”
He muttered that the two were indeed alike.
“Do not worry. Gambling is just a starting point.”
“You really… .”
“yes. I have to. Three medicines.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
‘It’s a very good opportunity.’
Of course, the money Rimer lost was to be recovered, and the real purpose was to make a three-way agreement and tell Do-goe a wish.
“Are you Raon Sieghart, the youngest Master in the history of the continent?”
Do-goe seemed to have only heard rumors without knowing his face, befitting someone who had left Sieghart.
“That’s right.”
Raon leaned back in his chair and nodded.
“The name value is fine. But at the gambling table, you need money, not fame… .”
“Dorian.”
Stop talking about robbery and take your wallet. No, I called Dorian.
“Ehh.”
Dorian sighed and put his hand in his stomach pocket. There were five heavy wrapping papers in my hands that came out again.
Quarrrrr!
Raon opened the wrapping cloth and poured it onto the table.
“First of all, 500 gold coins. Will this be enough?”
“This was a friend you could talk to.”
Dohae looked at the pile of gold coins piled on the table and licked his lips. However, the emotion reflected in his eyes seemed far from his desire.
“Didn’t you say you were applying for three medicines?”
“yes.”
“Then did you know that if you lose, you will be kicked out leaving everything you have?”
“of course.”
Raon nodded. Because he loses everything and is kicked out, Rimer becomes a beggar every time.
“good. I will accept your three medicines.”
He nodded and laid his hand on the table. The card fluttered between his fingers.
“Oh oh!”
“Aren’t you the youngest challenger?”
“Right! Who challenges the three medicines at the age of 18!”
“Crazy! Seolhwa Swordsman versus Destruction!”
“Shall we open the plate too?”
“But this isn’t sparring, it’s starting with gambling. I can’t even drink and I think I’ll end up gambling… .”
“Well, how much would I have done if I gambled at 18?”
“Oh, I want to see you two fight… .”
Those who liked the unimaginable confrontation licked their lips in regret, judging that Raon would not be able to overcome gambling and alcohol.
“Which gamble do you like? card? dice? roulette?”
“Anything is fine.”
Raon smiled and shrugged.
“Confidence is good. Then let’s start with poker.”
Do-Hae let out a similar laugh and grabbed the card.
“Because it’s your first time, let me give you some advice. The rules here are different. It doesn’t matter if you cheat. The one who didn’t find it is bad and stupid. Do you understand?”
He shook the card again this time with the card in his finger. He seemed to have a habit of gambling, which was very intrusive.
“In other words, in this game, cheating and fraud are justice as long as they are not caught.”
“What if you find the trick?”
“There is no need to talk about impossible things.”
“Then if I find out your trick, will you stick with me with your pure skill?”
“Haa, there are always frustrating friends like this.”
Dogoe let out a mocking laugh and shook his head.
“good. Give it a try.”
He raised the corners of his mouth as if to do whatever he wanted.
‘Las.’
Raon called out to Lars while watching the collapse of the cards. A blue light emanated from the bracelet.
‘It’s your turn. Please find all the elements that can be used for deceit in the body of Dohae.’
-hate.
‘uh?’
-To find them all, it would be a loss to the king.
Lars turned his head away as if in denial.
‘Why all of a sudden?”
It was embarrassing to suddenly do that after pretending to be a good listener. She called Lars again, managing her expression so as not to be seen by Do-Hae.
‘I’ll help you. I told you to go quickly.’
-It’s too late!
‘I couldn’t help it because I needed to be prepared.’
– Making me wait for a month and finding all that secret energy. No matter how you think about it, it’s the king’s loss. therefore… .
Lars lowered his voice as if he wanted something else. Dry saliva went down his throat at the thought that he would ask for his body.
‘Not right 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 thought.
-I will add one more marble ice cream. The king wants 3 marble ice cream boxes!
Lars shouted “ice cream” in a serious tone as if he were aiming for the 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 original king wants!
It was ridiculous, but I could have listened to it as much as I wanted.
‘Get one more box!’
– I will do my best!
Lars jumped up and rushed at the thief. His senses far exceed that of humans. Even if he cheated on Rimer, Lars’ eyes could not escape.
– First of all, this ring. It seems to have a muting effect. And this necklace has the power of disrupting gaze.
‘I can see how to use it.’
The effect to mute the sound will be used to remove the bottom, and the necklace will be used to divert attention at the moment of deception.
Seeing that the flow of mana was so thin that it didn’t even feel, it was clear that it was a top-notch artifact tailored for gambling.
– The tattoo on the back of this guy’s 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.
“Dr. First, take off the ring and necklace.”
“uh?”
Do-Hae’s hand, which was about to throw the card, stopped.
“What did you just say?”
“I told you to take off your ring and necklace.”
Raon pinched off the ring and necklace that had the ability.
“I’m wearing this with style… .”
“The ring worn on the index finger of the right hand has the effect of reducing the sound when desired, and the necklace has the effect of distracting attention, right? Stop making lame excuses.”
“… How did know?”
The Dokai’s laughter stopped for the first time. He twitched his chin and rolled his eyes as if he was being ridiculous.
“I have a good feeling.”
Raon smiled lightly and shrugged.
– Persimmon freezes to death! Isn’t it the power of the original king!
Lars waved his hand as if to stop talking nonsense.
“Gee, is it real?”
“You said you recognized the trick of the saboteur right away?”
“crazy… .”
“Oh, I haven’t even started the game yet, so is it possible to find a cheat?
The onlookers gaped as they saw Raon, who grasped the secret of the collapse at once.
“Ha, good. He said he would quit if caught, so I will keep my promise.”
Do-Hae took off his necklace and ring and set them down on the edge of the table.
“If you want to stop cheating, you have to erase that too.”
Raon pointed at the tattoo on the back of Dohae’s hand.
“You can look at this side’s hand with that, right?”
“Really… .”
Do-goe laughed and rubbed the back of his hand with his fingers. The tattoo that seemed to have been there all her life was gone.
“Is that enough now?”
There is no shame in being caught cheating. Judging by how he waved his new card in a slightly annoying tone, it wasn’t that he made his name known throughout the continent for nothing.
“Then let’s start properly.”
Dohae giggled and turned the card.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the card stuck in Do-Hae’s finger.
‘If you don’t get caught, deception is justice… .’
Then today I will be justice.
* * *
“Hmm.”
Dohae rubbed his fingers while looking directly into Raon’s eyes as he held the card.
‘Did you think you’d beat me if you didn’t cheat?’
Sometimes there are idiots who mistakenly think that they got into this position only by cheating.
However, cheating is just used to suck money from hogu people comfortably, and in a gamble between real masters, the one who understands the opponent’s psychology first wins.
That young guy’s intuition is certainly amazing, but he can’t beat himself. Sooner or later, you will be kicked out with your facial expressions and actions all caught.
“Shall we start with 100 gold coins?”
Do-Hae pushed 100 gold coins onto the table without looking at his hand properly. It was an exploration battle to see how the opponent came out and how they reacted.
“great.”
After checking his hand with a calm expression, Raon poured 100 gold coins into the center of the table.
“Then let’s see.”
Dohe opened the card. It was a triple of the same number in a row.
“Backstraight. I won.”
Raon’s card is a backstraight with 1 to 5. He smiled lightly and took 200 gold coins.
Even though Do-Hae lost 100 gold coins, he remained calm.
‘It doesn’t matter how much I lose.’
Because in the end it’s me who wins.
It is not for nothing that he has earned the nickname of a gambling freak. Whether it was learning or gambling, he was more confident than anyone else in understanding the psychology of his opponent.
“I will turn it this time.”
After shuffling the cards, Raon played them in turn.
Do-goe again observed Ra-on’s expression without looking at his hand.
‘Face is an expression without language.’
People show more with their facial expressions than with words, and the best expression of that expression is on this gambling board, which contains all the joys and sorrows of life. Understanding the psychology of such a young fellow was nothing short of a piece of cake.
“200 gold coins.”
The collapse pushed in twice as much money as the first one.
“great.”
Raon did not refuse and poured all the winning money into the center of the table.
Dohe overturned his hand. This time it was one pair, and looking ahead, Raon was two pair.
“I won again.”
Raon gave a small smile and held the card again.
“Good. Let’s continue.”
The tortoise grinned. Money is the most dangerous weapon of all. The more gold coins piled up on the table, the more bankruptcy would appear on that guy’s face.
but.
When the ten plates had passed, Dohee’s confidence had faded like fog.
‘hmm… .’
Dogoe swallowed a moan inwardly.
‘What is that guy?’
Raon’s expression did not change even if he had a good hand or a bad hand. As if he had put on a mask, his mind could not be read at all.
‘Is this the expression of an 18-year-old?’
I was so emotional that I felt like I was not dealing with an 18-year-old, but with an experienced gambler, spy, or assassin.
‘It’s me who’s losing there.’
In the ten rounds, the win and loss was 5:5, but in the end it was you who lost money. Raon never made a loss by not calling like a ghost when his hand was strong, or by betting only low amounts.
Do-Hae checked his hand without revealing his embarrassed expression.
‘One pair.’
A pair of two cards of the same number is a low hand. The shape was also heart, so the ranking was not good. But I wanted to break down that simple face once.
“1500 gold coins.”
Dohae bets the same amount of gold coins Raon had and pours them onto the table. He looked down at Raon’s bright golden eyes.
‘uh?’
no anxiety?
Raon’s red eyes did not waver even while looking at the gold coins piled up like a mountain. As before, there was only tranquility.
“It’s a call.”
Raon pours out all the gold coins he had with calm eyes as if he were drinking tea.
‘What the hell do you have? Steeple?’
If you want to throw more than 1,500 gold coins, no matter how bad you are, there will be a four-card or straight flush.
While chewing on the inside of his cheek, he waited for Raon to open his hand. But his hand was far from that.
“Whoa, one pair?”
Raon’s hand is the same one pair as his own. However, it was a spade higher than a heart.
“I won.”
Raon threw two spades on the table and grinned.
“What, what!”
“Burning 3,000 gold coins in one pair?”
“Mi, crazy! Both of them are crazy!”
“But aren’t you still winning the Seolhwa Swordsman?”
“therefore. The collapse is being pushed one way!”
The onlookers gulped dryly at the sight of the gold coins surging towards Raon.
“It’s beginner’s luck. It will be over soon.”
“okay. Because soon the situation will be reversed. wait!”
“Destruction is a slow starter! It’s a start!”
People who believe in Dohei made a noise that there was still a long way to go, but after 5 more editions, they all shut up.
“What… .”
Dokai could not stand it and opened his mouth. He won 3 out of 5 games and lost 2 games, but this time it was Raon who won the money. There were not even 50 gold coins left on the table.
‘How could this happen… .’
This is the first time ever. No matter how lucky a beginner may be, it is impossible to pick and avoid only when a good hand is drawn.
‘wait for a sec… no way!’
Dogoe swallowed dry saliva.
‘I was caught?’
If the win-loss ratio is almost 5:5, but only one side lost money and the other side won a lot, there is only one reason. It means that their expressions and reactions were exposed.
“Ugh.”
I forcibly managed my expression and raised my head. Raon’s sunken eyes looked this way. Creepy goose bumps ran down his spine from the bright red eyes.
‘Are you sure.’
He knows what card I’ve been playing.
Other than that, I couldn’t lose money like this.
“What have you done?”
“What are you doing?”
Raon smiled as calmly as when he received the card.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Don’t lie. It’s like winning or losing, but I’m only losing! I’ve been on countless gambling tables, but I’ve never had one like this!”
“no. You’re right I didn’t do anything.”
“what!”
“Didn’t Dogoe-nim tell you? If you don’t get caught, it’s not fraud, it’s justice.”
Raon smiled as he swept the gold coins piled up next to him.
“He who is deceived is an idiot.”
“you… .”
Do-goe unknowingly crumpled the stack of cards in his hand.
