Volume II, Chapter XIII
"If you want others to hear it, they won't dare to step on you......" I thought about it before saying, "Then it's called shit, if you call this, people won't step on you when they hear it......"
"Don't, young master!" Zaitian hugged my leg, "This name stinks......"
"You say I stink names, don't you?"
"No, young master, I didn't mean that...... I mean, the name you gave me sounds stinky......"
"Does that make a difference?" I said, "you're still saying that I give people names to get their stinky ......."
"Young Master...... I...... I ......"
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you!" I thought about it again, "Then you'll call Angel......"
"Angel ???" was stunned in the sky, "Don't you, young master, I don't have wings......"
"Wings, what do you want wings for?"
"Angels have wings......"
"You heard me wrong!" I threw my hand away from the sky, "What I gave you is, heavenly shit!How about the shit in the sky? Is it majestic enough? Even the gods don't dare to step on you lightly......"
I cried as soon as I was flattened, and there was a sound of falling to the ground around me, and I looked and everyone in the yard fell......
"Boss," Jack was quick to react and immediately got up from the ground, "we've cleaned up this place." β
"Oh," I nodded, "how many are still alive?"
"Five! including the boss. β
"Ask them where the money is," I said, "and don't kill them when you're done." β
"Yes!" Jack turned and walked away.
"Get up for me!" I kicked in the sky, "there's something to do." β
"You listen to me, in heaven. "I said to him very seriously. "Your cowardly personality is not something that can be changed by a name. You have to be very strict with yourself from the inside out, and say goodbye to the previous one in heaven. β
"En......"
"Still crying, crying you ghost!" "With a flip of my hand, I slapped the sky and spun around, "Don't scream!"
"Yes!" he swallowed back a scream.
I handed him a dagger and looked at me with a confused expression.
"When Jack asks where the money is," I said, "you go and kill those guys, and I'll wait for you outside." β
"Young Master...... I ......"
"Either kill them and you'll be the boss of Wanpu. I walked out without looking back, "Or you can take your eldest sister to the street to ask for food, whatever you choose." β
After waiting outside for a long time, the members of the Guards had already gotten the money and came out, and they appeared with their heads bowed in the genius.
Jack, who was following him, nodded to me, "He's doing a good job." β
I put my hands on the sky.
"In this world, no one can protect you all the time, and many times, people have to rely on themselves!" I said, "You are weak. The personality is very soft, if you don't work hard. Your eldest sister Lucy will not be able to help you next time if she is really raped first and then killed. β
"I know, young master," he looked up at me, "but I want a little drink...... I want to throw up......"
"No problem," I said, leaning on his shoulders and announcing loudly to everyone, "from now on, there is no such person as Zaiten!!!
"Amaterasu !!"
"Amaterasu!!" everyone cheered three times, and one by one they came over and beat his chest and touched his head.
This is his new name, and I just thought of it, and if I knew now that his name would be put on the list of the "Three Sluts of the Principality", I swear, I would spend a little more time taking a more prestigious one.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After thinking about it in the room for a day, he came up with a way to deal with Deel Merlin and wrote a large list of Amaterasu to buy something. It's the first time you do this kind of thing, and of course you have to be well prepared.
Less than two hours later, the new Wanpu came into my room and put a large pile of things on the table.
"Young Master, everything is ready," he said, "everything you want, and nothing is missing." β
"Okay! I replied, "Go buy something for yourself and change your clothes." β
Fischette took the things on the table and flipped left and right, "This is...... I said, Mr. Turner...... We've got some money last night," said Fichette, dissatisfied, "but you don't have to buy so many noble garments and ornaments...... And it's not my taste......"
"You've got a good idea," I said, "and you're going to have a show!
"Play cards!" Fischette didn't blink, "No problem, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want? hey, hey, hey, hey......"
"Hey, you're drooling from laughter! What the hell do you want?"
"I want ....................................," I whispered in Fichette's ear, "you!you!you.................. Cruel!" Fischette scolded me, "What's next?"
"And then ................................."
"You, you........................ Despicable!" Fichette scolded me again, "What about below?"
"Next ................................."
"You, you, you..................... Shameless.................. What about coming down again?"
"In the end, of course, .............................."
"I don't want to listen!" cried Fischet, "I can't listen anymore!"
"You're done listening......"
"Are you still human! You can think of such a trick!"
"Forced by you!" I said, "You're going to bet with me!"
"Ah...... Miss Dill Merlin, I am guilty...... "Fichette said bitterly, "I beg you to forgive me!"
"Come less, take the cards and I'll teach you!"
In this way, a grand conspiracy against the business wizard, Miss Dell Merlin, officially began.
I drew four parallel black dots on a piece of paper and put them under Fichette's nose.
"Do you see anything special?" I asked him, "Look closely." β
Fischette kept seeing dazzle, then shook his head at me in confusion, "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not in the mood to you right now. I said to him. "Adjust your eyes. Turn the four dots on the paper into three dots. β
"Well...... It's a little difficult......" Fichette shook his head from side to side, "Ah! I did it!"
"Keep up the good work...... Keep looking, until you see that you can see three dots at a glance......" I said, picking up a card at the table and starting to renovate.
This was a difficult job, as I had to mark the distance of each dot on the card with a string before I could draw seemingly unrelated lines where each dot corresponded, just like the decorative lines on the back of a common card. But after special training, Fischette seems to have no secrets on his opponent's hand! This is what I used to do in my previous life when I was just starting to mess around.
It's embarrassing to say, because in a city, a boss can't just pop up silently, so my boss asked me to hang out at the bottom for a while. And out of the thousand is a skill that everyone who wants to get ahead must have.
Ordinary gangsters, that is, marking cards with invisibility potions and wearing spectroscopy glasses, which can be easily caught...... The end was extremely tragic.
The way I like it is to make a three-dimensional marker with a special potion on the back of the card. Then use the surface of my watch to reflect it. When I'm playing cards, I look at my watch from time to time. There have been many people who have doubted my luck, but I've never missed it, because ...... There aren't many tasteful thugs like me.
But now the conditions are simple, and the only way to do it is to draw a three-dimensional mark. I didn't expect my boss to be so miserable now, and even the youngest brother in his previous life had to do it himself.
With a deck of cards, I rubbed my eyes and rested, and turned my head to see that my dear Mr. Fichette had become cross-eyed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Dressed in luxurious new clothes and changing my face, I took a few servants from the Wamp Pier in a carriage to the only high-class inn in Wamp, and next to the inn was the main place of activity of my traveling nobleman-in-waiting, the evening club of the Wamp noble, the Rose Bar.
The first step of the conspiracy will be staged tonight.
As soon as it got dark, I walked into the Rose Bar, sat down at the bar and asked for a cocktail.
I'm waiting, waiting for my dear Baron Eva Merlin, who, according to intelligence, will come here every night to play cards.
At the card table on one side, Fichette, who was also dressed as a traveling nobleman, was happily talking to a few people, this guy appeared as a nobleman a day before me, and won a lot of money in just one night. Fischette's flower-like beauty, coupled with his elegant manners and conversation, won the favor of many local nobles.
The waiter at the gate opened the door, and a man in his forties entered, wearing a top hat and holding a cane studded with a gem, and seemed to be in good spirits. Jack, who walked behind him, told me with his eyes that he was my prey, Baron Eva Merlin.
"Good evening, Mr. Eva Merlin," said the waiter at the bar, "shall we have a glass of gin first?"
"Of course, of course!" Eva Merlin sat down beside me. Because the seat in front of the bar is the one left next to me. Installing someone at the bar was the first thing Amaterasu did when he became the boss of the Gap.
"There are so many people today," Eva Merlin nodded to me, "good evening, young man." β
"Yes, sir," I replied to him with a smile, "I have just arrived, and you may call me Severn." β
"Oh, Severn, I'm Eva Merlin," he said amiously, holding out his hand, "how can I help you?"
"I'm not very familiar with this place, and need a gentleman's help," I said, taking his hand, "Do I have this privilege to invite you to a drink?"
"Of course, it is the responsibility of the older generation of nobles to help the young people. β
I ordered a good bottle of red wine and sat down with Iva Merlin at a small table to the side. The rigorous training in my previous life even changed my personality at a certain level, and I could be friends with anyone I wanted to.
I tell SΓΉ Iva Merlin that I am a traveling candidate nobleman who is on my way home. Because of the difficult family road, I came to Wanpu to take a look, and I was ready to invest in a little business at the right time, which is not surprising, on the mainland, there are many such unfortunate aristocratic families.
The same experience quickly brought us closer together, and in a short time I became good friends with Eva Merlin.
"If you want to invest in a business. It's best to talk to my daughter. She has a unique perspective on this. Eva Merlin said. "I'll introduce you to you another day. β
"I'm very happy to meet Ling Ai," I said, raising my glass, "I'll prepare gifts to visit the mansion...... Your daughter's name?"
"Her name is Dill Merlin," Eva Merlin said, gulping down the wine in his glass, "my pride!"
"Nice name," I poured him a drink, "another drink?"
"Of course," he said with a smile. "Severn, in your hometown, I mean, what's popular with your aristocrats?"
"Ah...... When the season is right," I pretended to think, "we have a series of grand hunts. β
"Yes, I also like to hunt, and I have a few good hounds. He lowered his voice and said to me, "You know, it's the Cerberus variant...... It took me a fortune to get it!"
"What a envy. I nodded, indicating that I understood. "We have a garden tour every month, sometimes it's a royal event. β
"Well, yes," Eva Merlin took a sip of his wine, "what about usual?"
"Not usually," I shook my head, "I'll ride a horse or something when I have time......
"Young man, as a nobleman, you should have some hobbies that you can communicate with people in normal times," he said with a smile, "Of course, you are still young and can be cultivated slowly." β
"Please advise. I said modestly.
"That's right," he explained to me, "if you lack such a hobby, people will say that you are unapproachable, that you are withdrawn." Of course, your reputation will not be very good. β
"But, Monsieur Baron," I said anxiously, "you know, I am in fact not withdrawn or inaccessible......
"I know I know," Iva Merlin said, taking out his snuffbox and pouring himself a little, "Would you like some?" young man?"
"Thank you for your kindness," I politely declined, "and my father said that I should not use snuff until I was thirty years old." β
"You have a good father, he's right. He inhaled snuff, sneezed heavily, and suddenly looked bright, "Come on, young man, let me teach you a hobby that only nobles have a right to have." β
"What is it?" I asked, puzzled, "my dear Mr. Baron?"
"Cards," he said, standing up and leading me across the bar, "let's go play." β
On the other side of the bar, a cross-eyed Fischette and his new friend had just finished a game and were laughing and talking, looking like everyone was happy.
"Gentlemen!" said Eva Merlin, as he came to the table, "and may introduce you to a young gentleman and friend of mine, Mr. Severn, who has just arrived at the Wanpu. β
"Good evening gentlemen," I said very cooperatively, extending my hand to the group, "I am Severn. β
"What a coincidence, we have a new friend here," said an old nobleman at the same table, standing up, "this is Mr. Outa, who arrived at the Chambers only yesterday. β
"Hello, Mr. Otta," I said as I held out my hand to Fischet, "I'm Severn. β
"Good evening, Mr. Severn," Fichette and I played, "please sit down, and let's have a drink together." β
At this moment, a waiter came up and whispered a word to a nobleman at the same table, and the nobleman took his leave. So I, Fischet, Iva Merlin, and the old nobleman, sat down together. This old nobleman was not chosen by chance, and after analyzing a lot of information, we chose this man who was not compatible with Iva Merlin as our supporting role.
So far, a qiΔ is very smooth.
"I mention yì for the two gentlemen to join," Eva Merlin said, raising his glass, "let's toast!"
"Cheers!"
The four of them laughed and drank, and everyone had their own arms.
"Let us, then," said the old nobleman, to me, "Mr. Severn want to play?"
"Of course," I said, "the Baron has just told me that I should learn this hobby. β
The old nobleman smiled and introduced me to the specific gameplay of the card, a very detailed introduction, and his wordy words heard me want to commit suicide.
ββ¦β¦ That's basically it," the old nobleman finally ended his introduction, "of course, if someone does not have enough cash at the time, he can pay the creditor within ten days, and besides, if anyone has acted in disguise. He will be expelled from and our social activities. All activities. His life was over. β
"Okay, thank you for the introduction," I nodded, "I think I can do all of that." β
"Of course, young man," said the old nobleman, "you look honest. β
Am I honest? I don't even know that myself.
"All right, gentlemen," said Fischet, exclaimed. "Let's get started, and as a sign of respect for this new friend, I've suggested that we'll put on a new deck of cards. β
The waiter brought ten new decks of cards, and our game began.
"The old rule, a hand of ten," Eva Merlin said, "Gentlemen, please fold the cards." β
At today's table, I'm just a supporting character, and my task is just to get to know Mr. Eva Merlin by the way. Bring him to Fischette and give him the stimulus to keep playing when he wants to stop. After all, there aren't many times when a person goes crazy. The real protagonist is Fichette, who goes by the alias Ota and joins forces with the old nobles to deal with Mr. Eva Merlin.
And then by the way, the old nobles will also win into poverty.
Gambling, which appeared on the day of the birth of mankind, is a favorite of speculators, a nightmare for fools and honest people.
As a novice, I strictly adhere to the duties of a novice. I smile when I get a good card, and I look gloomy when I get a bad card...... In my dash, the first round had passed, and I had lost a total of thirty-eight coins, with everyone else winning or losing.
"Don't worry," Eva Merlin said to me, "you'll get acquainted with it. β
"Yes, young man," said the old nobleman, holding up his glass, "learn from Monsieur Baron, I have seen him lose with great grace. β
"Really?" said Eva Merlin, who didn't look very happy, "that wasn't funny!"
"I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you," said the old nobleman who had won, "I'm just making an analogy with the children." β
"You!" Eva Merlin was about to get angry.
"Gentlemen, I invite you to drink!" said Fischette, without losing any time, "shall we have some spirits?"
Eva Merlin and the old nobleman did not seem to want to quarrel any longer, and agreed, though I could not object. Every step of the way tonight was within our plan, and I added a small amount of ...... to the liquor we were going to drink Hey.
Soon, the second game was over. I lost more, and Mr. Iva Merlin did not win any money, and the old nobleman was delighted and flushed with his face when he looked at the large pile of chips in front of him.
"I want to say something to you, Mr. Baron," I said to Iva Merlin, "shall we go to the bar?"
"You don't have to worry," Iva Merlin said to me as he walked to the bar, "and we'll win it back, I promise." β
Looks like he's a little guilty about losing money to me.
"Yes, sir," I said to him, "I'm sure you can win it back...... I'm worried about me, you know, I've just inadvertently disrupted your rhythm many times, and I'm a newbie, and I can't help with anything......"
"Don't worry," he said, "don't worry, we still have a lot of time." β
"But I really can't, please forgive me...... I thought, "I took out my money bag," and here are a hundred gold coins...... I beg you! You can help me fight it! I can't handle this pressure!"
"That's ...... Alright!" he took the purse, "I'll tell you the result later." β
"Then I'll go back to the hostel and wait for your good news. β
I walked back to my table and left under the pretext that I wanted to go back to the hostel to write a letter to my father, and warmly invited everyone to visit my hostel at a convenient time.
The rest is up to Fischette. When I walked outside the door, I saw that he had already started to use cross-eyed.
I walked down the street, where there were street lamps, and the white magic light dragged my shadow long. My new riding boots made a "chirping" sound as they stepped on the stone slabs of the street, and the sound of running behind me was getting closer and closer, and without turning around, I knew it was Jack.
"Boss," Jack dressed as my servant, "why did you come out?"
"I'm done. I said, "Now is my free time." β
"Done?" Jack was surprised, "Didn't you just start fighting?"
"You want to know?"
"Yes, boss, you tell me quickly. β
"Let you know," I said as I walked, "what's the most important thing to deal with someone?"
"Yes ......" (To be continued......
