I Can See Your Code

I see your code (97)

“… … .”

The gambling hall, which was like a dotegi market, was filled with silence in an instant. Thousands of seemingly thousands of people all came out and took turns looking at the sacks on the table.

“… … uh… … .”

It was the female employee who broke the heavy silence first.

“I’m sorry, sir. I think I heard it wrong. Is the bet amount correct, one thousand gold?”

How do you hear it, it becomes a thousand thousand?

“You are right. Not a thousand gold.”

“Ah, too… … . sorry again. I’ll help you get back gold… … .”

“Not even one hundred gold.”

Interrupted while interrupting. I didn’t know it would make it to a hundred thousand.

“Listen carefully. Because I don’t want to talk about it again. 10,000 gold for Dante. It is a lump sum payment.”

“… … .”

At my words, the female employee’s face turned blank, and she reached out to try to lift the sack. After struggling like that for a while, the sack didn’t even budge.

In fact, it is normal.

One gold coin weighs 50 grams, but that’s 500,000 grams because 10,000 of those coins were collected. That is, 500 kilograms.

It’s a little difficult for the average person to lift.

Even a normal sack couldn’t contain it, so it was treated with magic.

You can use it as a weapon if you just hold it and shake it. like a grinder.

“… … Black.”

I think I finally gave up on lifting. The female employee looked at me with a half-crying face.

“Sorry, I’m sorry. I don’t think this is an issue I can handle… … .”

“Then call your supervisor.”

“Yes Yes… … . Please wait a moment… … !”

A female employee hurriedly ran to somewhere, and at the same time, the sunken building quickly burned down as if she had poured cold water on it.

“… … You mean there are ten thousand gold in there now?”

“Dante, who is Dante? Is this the first name I’ve ever heard?”

“There is a person called Iron Disciple who participated this time before the first. His name was probably Dantail.”

“He was a crazy bastard.”

No matter how much I hear it, it’s a bit harsh, isn’t it? When I glanced at the place where the voice came from, the man who spoke the words flinched and trembled.

This look has a good effect. Should I just live with Dante in the future? Rian has a rather gentle side, so even now he is sometimes ignored.

As I was thinking about it, a middle-aged man who had been hard at work explained to me earlier came up to me.

“… … Who are you?”

Suddenly it’s a compliment Is financial treatment more effective than shaving?

“Is it possible that you are a friend of Sir Dante… … .”

“Not friends.”

“Then what… … .”

“It’s you.”

The middle-aged man stopped moving. Then only the eyes roll. You must be remembering what I said earlier.

“I tell you, but I’m not a suicide or a crazy baby.”

“Sorry, sorry… … .”

“Forgive me this time. It was helpful for me to explain.”

He took 10 gold out of his pocket and threw it at the middle-aged man. He took it well with a blank face.

“Hey, is this?”

“It’s hard work. Will the guard be able to do it on his own?”

He said with a wink at the humans who were looking at the gold in his hand with greedy eyes.

Argon is on the good side of security, but there are idiots everywhere in the world who don’t want to miss the chance that is right in front of them.

I was going to help if I said I wasn’t confident because I had nothing to do anyway, but the middle-aged man just bowed his head.

“Yes, yes! It was a trivial explanation, but so far… … . Thank you very much!”

“You know.”

“Yes! He, please win… … .”

“I don’t need flattery that I don’t even believe in. If you don’t have anything else to do, go away.”

He bowed his head repeatedly and exited the building. There were a few people who tried to follow him, and he stunned them by bouncing the gold. When people fall to the floor like that, those who tried to move the same stop immediately.

I said looking straight at them.

“No one can go out for a minute from now.”

“… … .”

Even though it was a remark like abusive language, no one refuted it. Even when money is rolling on the ground, everyone is so nervous that they can’t even go pick it up.

When I turned my head as if I wasn’t interested in that kind of penny, then people around me rushed to the gold.

“go away! This gold is mine! I picked it up first!”

“You are f*cking I’m holding your hand, so are you mine? Don’t let go right now!”

There were a lot of rich people in the building, so I didn’t go to the chaos, but it was a pretty big commotion.

… … It’s what I did, but to be honest, I don’t feel very good. I have to say that it feels like the villain in a movie is a third-generation chaebol.

Also, I don’t think my personality suits me.

Still, if there is a topic of discussion like this, wouldn’t the rumors spread faster and farther?

Money isn’t the only reason I’m here.

“… … There is no mess like this.”

He turned his head to the sound of the voice next to him. Behind me was the female employee who had run to me, panting for breath, and in front of me was an old-fashioned old man looking at me with distasteful eyes.

[NPC-1-287-4]

Argon’s victor, Osworth.

I thought I would be here at this point.

“Is that what you did?”

“I just prevented the crime that would happen.”

“Is that?”

Osworth said, pointing to the scene where he was now even battling. You can also see the guards who were guarding the building approaching to suppress it.

I glanced at the scene indifferently and said,

“Who is not dead?”

“Hey, you’re generous once in a while.”

He chuckled absurdly, and then pointed to the sack I had left on the table.

“You take it and follow it. Unless you want our staff to go all the way out.”

* * *

“So, are you that Dante himself?”

The only solitary room attached to a three-story building. Osworth said as he sat down on one of the sofas. I just leaned against the wall by the door.

“Sit, but?”

“This is more convenient. Tell me something.”

“Hmm… … . To be honest, I thought you were a suicide seeker, but I’m starting to think more and more that you are Iron’s apprentice. There shouldn’t be any cheap stuff.”

Osworth grinned and poured his tea into the mug. Then I look inside the sack I threw on the desk.

“It’s all real, no counterfeiting. I can’t think of a few articles that can afford such an amount casually… … .”

“Tell me whether the bet is acceptable or not. Do you really need so much gossip here to bet once?”

At my prompt, Osworth shrugged.

“It’s just a matter of being accepted. It’s the first time I’ve taken so much money at once, and this is the first time I’ve been betting on myself.”

Then he picks up his teacup and takes a sip.

“Besides, does it actually make sense to bet on yourself in a tournament? It’s something that you might be arguing with your opponent and manipulating the match.”

“So, does that mean it’s impossible for me to bet on me?”

“I didn’t say that. There’s no rule saying it’s impossible. At least for now.”

Osworth put down his teacup and continued.

“Do you know why I haven’t banned it yet, even though I know it’s going to be a problem?”

Know. Because this is from the game.

But I pretended not to know and answered indifferently.

“Well.”

Osworth stared at me. After doing this for a while, he suddenly smiles.

“It’s unprecedented, and if we ban it in advance, saying that match-fixing could happen, the damn knights will of course stand up. What is the reason, what do you think the honor of a knight is?”

He said, leaning his back on the soft-looking sofa. Her face is smiling, but her eyes are tired.

“So even if you know, you can’t ban it. I was thinking of letting it go until there was just one case. If there is a precedent, it would not be possible to protest even if it was banned. I will have to bear some damage, though.”

“So what do you want to tell me in the end?”

Osworth hesitated a bit at my question, then looked straight at me.

“Ask me outright. Did you match up with all the 3rd graders competing this time?”

“… … .”

“There is no way we can win the battle with a fourth-level skill. But do you pay a huge sum of gold only for yourself? To be honest, I can only think of match-fixing.”

“If a 3rd grader looked at a 4th grader, the audience would notice anyway.”

“There are ways you can’t even notice.”

Osworth answered, bringing the teacup to his lips again.

“Isn’t it enough to abstain from everything? Because there are circumstances that are ‘unavoidable’.”

“… … .”

“Besides, wouldn’t it be great if the 4th class winner who won like that had the title of disciple of Iron? Everyone will be distracted by the birth of a new star.”

In short, it’s like this. Now, Osworth thinks that I will impersonate Iron’s disciple and work against the 3rd-grade classmates before him to make a lot of money.

It was completely ignorant, but the insight to get there is astonishing. It’s been less than 10 minutes since I saw it and heard it.

When I didn’t answer, Osworth said quietly.

“I was going to take some damage, but I didn’t mean to blow hundreds of thousands of gold into the air. So I make a suggestion.”

“proposal?”

“If you leave without betting like this, I will give you a thousand gold without any conditions.”

Osworth sighed heavily. As if this is the marginal line of compromise.

“I’m just so happy with it. If you keep going though, I won’t accept the bet, even if I lose some credibility. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is too much damage.”

“… … .”

That’s an almost perfect response. Of course, if his prediction was correct.

The absolute proposition that 4th grade cannot beat 3rd grade.

Even such a smart person is obsessed with such stereotypes. This is a passage that shows how deeply rooted the perception of grades is in this world.

“I won’t take a thousand gold.”

“… … In the end, let’s go in such a way that we both lose money, isn’t it?”

“It’s not like that.”

I straightened my back, which was leaning against the wall.

“I never designed match-fixing.”

“… … What?”

“They just bet on me because I thought I was going to win. I don’t even know how many 3rd graders appear before the first.”

At that, Osworth looked at me for a long time. And then, heh, coughing in vain.

“You seem serious. Were you just crazy?”

“That is not for you to consider. Anyway, it’s okay to bet on me now, right?”

He looked a little worried, then shook his head.

“… … no. I still can’t fully believe it. What would you do if your opponent abstained?”

“That’s not my thing. How do I know if I’m going to run away because I’m embarrassed to lose to a 4th grader?”

“… … You’re overconfident. Anyway, if it comes out like that, the conditions are unacceptable.”

“Then I’m going to reverse the proposal this time.”

I said looking down at him.

“I beat at least two third graders in a tournament without abstaining. Of course, there is no such thing as match-fixing. Would these conditions be sufficient?”

“… … .”

Osworth thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

“What if that was the case? Instead, it should be specified in the contract.”

“I do not care. However, I will also add one more reward in order. I’ve been framed like crazy, and I have to write a contract that I don’t really need.”

“I admit it. Okay, what do you want?”

This works better than I thought.

I smiled and said quietly.

“Dragon blood.”

For a moment, Osworth stopped moving.

“… … What did you say now?”

“It was called dragon blood.”

“How do you… … .”

“That’s not for you to know.”

Looking at his astonished face, I said it again.

“If I win, hand over to me the blood of the dragon in the safe.”
