Chapter 93: As wide as the world (2)
juigwThe golden ball rolls.9Whamx
oreFor some, it’s a moment of excitement, and for others, it’s a ball carrying their whole life.Ihf
YzNACA ball that continuously rolled on the black and red edge shone in the light of the chandelier.HAD11O
ffs[I should have come here a long time ago.]sw3EqeU
EOu66eHowever, despite the noisy atmosphere surrounding the gaming hall, Vlad only focused on the roulette wheel spinning constantly in front of him.UTs
n3p17v[There’s no better place to train your visual acuity and agility.]exIF
psIcVThe voice was right.MtHNjd0
cmZnfREven now, the roulette ball, which continuously spun, moved constantly, showing irregular movements.gQ5xmB
pwf“…I think red would be good.”py0DSf
qNXA3VaVlad placed a chip on number 18 while thinking about the red-haired girl who would soon turn 18.MZLHsG
2FpfeA straight bet where all the odds are placed on a single number.g0qQ3hX
s9MvfDuAlthough he didn’t know what he had placed there, Vlad followed where the symbol of luck pointed.QWJ5
DhARAdm[Begin.]XAgIGX
wBxDAt the sound of Vlad’s voice, Vlad quickly closed his left eye and began to summon his Aura.VeF0
CUAThe stiff body technique learned from Ramund is a technique that strengthens the body.y3jXOmm
SAYmhThe golden ball vigorously spinning on the roulette wheel gradually slowed down before Vlad’s eyes.L6RV2mO
aWPTi“Hmm.”2iIZum
1zCTViVlad’s blue eyes began to interrupt fleeting moments that ordinary people couldn’t see.QPXRL5C
Sgi2yVlad’s eyebrows began to furrow as he watched the golden ball, unsure where it would bounce.YdpPfAD
wH2QW“…”bPmctIM
foDiedfThere’s nothing as superficial as faith.UheZE
A3VEveryone here might have thought that roulette would be played thanks to good luck, but Vlad didn’t think so at all, as he had his own world where he couldn’t be fooled.fOem
Wmi“You cheats.”7aL
xMyLTugTo win a duel, you must control the battlefield.Qlgal8R
xxP6However, this place was being manipulated out of control, so even the slightest effort wouldn’t work.lfBXHA
DnrIt’s the wrong world.L3EAnGX
Kmj“Mr. Vlad.”p70
YGYKXVlad, silently contemplating the emotions boiling within him, heard someone calling him in his ear.hPz
Vz8“If you had informed us in advance, we would have picked you up.”HBL
TIhacwBA knight dressed in a stylish suit that wouldn’t look out of place in an alley.qWmtStv
86yyfeVlad couldn’t help but laugh as he heard what the gaming house manager said.BHFe
KagLgaWhen Vlad was a beggar in the alley, he used to shout at me not to come near him, but now he bowed and said he would serve me.ZJp5
pqta“Is the boss there now?”zsMNCj
oCoYs“He says he’s still waiting for Mr. Vlad upstairs.”TCSuN4
KslZvJuDice from the gaming hall, one of the alley bosses.xu7bnhq
TGf1XUpon hearing that he was waiting for him, Vlad became aware of his position once again.Kd7
VYIPHajThe location and status have changed since before.68g6
5UV“So why are you waiting for me?”EuY1M
RKVr0J“Yes?”E4Hri
tYirQThat’s why Vlad didn’t move from his seat.tZE8
z6NfvGRThis is the wrong place, and Vlad was a proud man with a just cause and qualifications.fxHPrA
mKcSYR6Therefore, the person who should come is not the Knight of Soara, but the owner of the gaming house.Rzyq
Kr2p6W“Tell the boss to come here.”fPe6
Z5xN0VThe voice had spoken.bJxNEj0
sqzsi6The suppression of the urge was spectacular.Qk5
a8EusGDo it with such force that no one can keep their mouth shut.Bu2io
ql6x0“Until then, gaming establishments will remain closed.”Gdj
L6Py“…What’s this?”QrjrrLU
lS0W0There was a knight standing over the table containing the wrong world.qF5J
sOMrtdLHe was an impressive man with shining blond hair under an elegant chandelier.zavp
0vboO“Dealer, remove your hands from there.”U4U
mU6KE6Vlad strode across the table, pointing his sword at the dealer.sJBVa3
WPZw3hAll eyes in the place began to focus on the image of Vlad, who walked without hesitation, removing chips and glasses that were in his way.1wPgmo
Cuzbj“Vlad, Mr. Vlad!”Mmw
sjEThe gaming house owner, who was informed that the situation had become more serious, began to hurry down the stairs making a loud noise, but he was too late.zEdN6G
8LOy0Because Vlad’s eyes were already looking at the dark truth hidden under the roulette wheel.dUOjTU
wnfF4e“…It must have been fun until now, right?”FEP
kpRLThe alley boss. Dice in a gaming hall.MPjl
VURIjHe was overcome with a choking sensation as he saw the man grinning brutally at him.iFQE6
pM4‘You got it wrong.’gogX8ND
V9C8Players in the gaming hall approached slowly and confused to the smiling Vlad, but soon they had no choice but to retreat.2BeFI
PCk1“Stop. The knight is busy with his official duties at the moment.”HzWYbo
1TA1“Hmm.”IJA
cvcpd“Can I kill these guys? Do you think that’ll work?”beyXeZ
6ThThree men stood behind Vlad, drawing their weapons and pushing fiercely to move them aside.0w5DxP
tZLSJB“This is…”D4G
rNM8WOnly then did Dice realize that the new mayor of Soara had unleashed a fierce dog.36PPsO
aWN9And that dog was a dog that could roam the alleys with just a sniff.2nyH
HtJ8KP7Because he was born and raised here.cjJr
qrq***4Yp
tXCC3MOn the day I wrecked Harven’s room and took him out, Vlad walked down the street, frowning, with the bottle in hand.8r6eli6
oAqOUFT“Isn’t this what it is?”QIji3a3
wkAYJyD“That’s right.”7UmuU
pnGqkaDHarven was following Vlad, holding a small bundle.bUaQr
MNeuEYThe bundle contained everything Harven had collected throughout his life, but it was also a small piece of luggage that he could carry with one hand even with a cane.dFw3E
1Z8RvM“Knights are useful. Even when they wreck a room and take one of our members out, they give us a gift.”nbdvpXp
hMkmJqs“…This isn’t a gift.”ex47ziQ
3Tnx5Vlad looked at the strangely sticky and sloshing liquor inside the bottle and tasted it as if he were concerned.MeizMr
bIYytAt“It’s Captain Q. Right.”c2bf
tLvog“Captain Q3 to be exact. It’s an upgraded version made by the boss.”fqglq
LOMCaptain Hoover, one of the alley bosses.bNGhW6
dUteFIn the past, he was a famous ship captain, but now he is old and fallen, hidden in the darkness of Soara.Ne8iW4
ITayHowever, even after his fall, there was a passion that still remained in him, and it was to recreate the mermaid drink he had tasted in his youth.Z4ote
ILtmu“I guess mermaids don’t have tongues.”RRvX
VPEZIU“Because they live in the sea, their body structure may be a bit different from ours.”FZox38O
qbUHarven said that Hoover was a poor winemaker, but not a bad person.sxMPENk
g6ZUk1MEven when Jorge was there, he wasn’t a boss with a bad reputation, and although he treated him harshly, he was also someone who helped him with his disability.GBxBKdF
6tk“Not even the new mayor of Soara will touch the captain. He’s someone who is creating his own value for the city.”QqMw
wPjsC“Is that so?”gsNNi1n
166p“No matter how many bugs there are, there are beneficial insects and pests.”wvlEK
pDRBKaUAlthough Harven has not been able to see or experience it with his own eyes, he has seen a variety of worlds indirectly through documents and tasks assigned to him.EVB5
TrajbEThe nature of smuggling organizations traveling to remote places via rivers greatly helped Harven develop his vision.jLki
AkX“Putting you, who has no experience, in an alley, an area that is harder to control, can actually have the meaning of a test. This is both an opportunity and a crisis.”spss
SkacET“Mmm.”9798VQD
vMFJTVlad naturally began to walk slowly, matching Harven’s pace.5RTdn
JheThere was an aspect of being considerate with him because he had a disability, but it was also because the story coming out of Harven’s mouth naturally matched Vlad’s steps.eupS
lsGsnR“So, what should we do next?”GvoVryl
ihjKOFfJoseph didn’t give detailed instructions to the inexperienced Vlad.M9RqCX
DRoBecause he thought that even the experience of seeking advice would be useful for the young knight.MVjM0Q
oi6g“I have to let the bosses know like I did today.”uePg
V3yHarven smiled as he looked at the rose’s smile seen far away in the night sky.4nfXT
w5txu“You’re here.”tPSO86V
h0gA new business and a new knight.ffleh4Z
qC3SwpyAnd a new order.3jhG
Zh8Harven knew exactly what Joseph wanted from Vlad.ZE12
U3RT***iJeyC3k
3ceuMarcella had said she would give Vlad half of the fourth floor, and those words were not empty promises.bLG9g
lLG5WYw“Thank you.”M25sLOm
mhGnYAF“…I know this guy too.”b1g0myB
1nJgOtar, now a servant to a knight, was thanking Vlad for giving him a room and a job.3Byqrq
pWMPX0“If I keep stealing, I’m sure I’ll die soon, so what can I do?”qeKPbxo
uj6“…”RLt
prkCVlad leaned on the railing of the fourth floor, chin in hand, and looked at the boy who was working hard pushing a stick on the ground floor.JEq
RTeY9x9A dark-skinned boy who took on the work he used to do when he was a junior.sCGeW
VdcKUtVlad had prepared a place in Rose’s Smile for Ned, who was Otar’s younger brother and also related to him, and Ned currently lived on the fourth floor with Otar.SZXcQ
RPjBP“The madame is happy. I got rid of all the people causing trouble.”I2mTXLO
Uh6WIGVZemina approached Vlad pretending to clean and whispered softly, pointing to where Harven was.NlFGJ
lK9u“…I didn’t know Marcella hated him so much.”9gmr
GtxGIn the place Zemina pointed to, there was a shelter with a table where people who came to see Vlad were attended to.0zdsexE
dFb0mZ“He looks different. I didn’t know Harven had this side.”CqPDI
8paXVVlad did not respond aloud to Zemina’s words.J1dV7
QRJVmLHe simply nodded, expressing his agreement.abx3
sArPeople can only show their worth if they have a place to demonstrate their skills.eBeYRw
7ABAnd now, Harven was not in a dark and suspicious room, but he was screening out the idiots as agents of the knight.r2y4qSF
5H6fRLFAfter today’s interview, which was probably as long as it had been, he would come to Vlad with a list of people who might be helpful.bYj
aXfVA“It’s time he comes.”CK03V
nlQF15vVlad was chewing on the sandwich Marcella had made and waiting for someone to come visit him.kY8rW
QqTJoseph had said he would support the salaries of a total of four people, and Vlad knew well that Harven and Otar alone were not enough to carry out security work in the back alleys.cR4
NdgHowever, given that there have been people who have continually made their presence known, it will be possible to easily fill up to three people.ilyU
LRTJSy“Vlad! Vlad!”zp3hEe
tCutlgW“What.”iarWjZU
CYCNed, who had been mopping the floor for a while, hurriedly climbed the stairs and began searching for Vlad.kMV
GfnpT“Vlad!”DNiomE
IqXfBN“What is it?”0WXB7QQ
bGdgKFuVlad frowned as he looked at Ned, who was very different from his quiet older brother.NDWb
3gfwU90“There is a guest visiting Vlad at the Town Hall. One of them has a long chin…”135OPe
qb8z“Tell him to come up.”bi5Nn
7rmakrVlad thought there was no way Goethe would miss this opportunity.kqS
nX6Although the stable keeper for Bayezid was a stable job, he knew Goethe was not a person who would settle for just being a servant.i8FE
JOrh“But there are two.”hK8J4wA
6fj1SF“Hmm?”YE1wVOR
ecabRHowever, Goethe came here not alone, but with one more person by his side.Q80
6rl“Who is it?”xXHw
MBeBIn response to Vlad’s question, Ned quickly licked his lips with his tongue and began to question himself.6JTrJth
vW8“He has many tattoos and tangled hair…”4anTOu
BoTYbyVIn the north, the position of people with black looks was low and miserably disadvantaged.t2vJ3w
cVwSzHowever, even blacks discriminated against for their skin had an individual they would rather avoid.U3BD
RPi“Are you sure it’s not him? Vlad?”WnQku
qBXaTwo people were entering Rose’s Smile along with Ned’s concerns.zeTDN
kMwA man with a strong impression standing behind Goethe who looks somewhat downcast.hSjo4z
bA6rx5He was a man whose presence was so strong that even the employees and Marcella, who were getting ready for business, turned their heads for a moment.JMKi
xglz“I like it because it’s a little bigger here.”Kur
Q4GA barbaric man who followed Noir, who inherited the blood of a divine spirit, to Soara.Sc7lNBx
oEO“The mayor said there would be work if I came here?”Mq1grWO
sxZCXdAgge from the Budart tribe smiled as he looked at Vlad, who was watching him from the fourth floor.sVTWf7f
