He Was Reincarnated as The Greatest Talent Genius of The Famous Family - Chapter 173



Only Noblemtl

I was reincarnated as an all-time talented genius of a famous family Chapter 173

116. To Atalia Island (2)

The story went like this.

“We are looking for someone named ‘Calico’.”

“ah… … As for Captain Calico… … .”

The man who introduced himself as the owner of this tavern sighed.

“Why are you looking for Captain Calico?”

It is a look full of pity rather than wariness.

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

“It’s something I’d like to ask you… … If something requires a boat, the request probably won’t come true.”

“What do you mean?”

this is ominous

“Captain Calico’s ship was stolen not too long ago.”

You said the boat was stolen?

I narrowed my eyes at the unexpected thing. Rather than bewildered, I’m just dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, my brain started thinking about the next best thing, and in the meantime, we figured out why Captain Calico had lost his ship.

“I lost my boat in gambling.”

“… … .”

Everyone was dumbfounded and silent.

For a truly absurd reason.

“In gambling… … .”

“gambling… … Are you talking?”

“oh my… … .”

Everyone sighs.

All of them are far from that kind of thing, so it’s understandable.

But not me.

I have quite a lot of experience in my past life.

In my previous life, I was born on the battlefield and raised on the battlefield.

And the battlefield is a space where boredom takes its place when battles and work disappear.

So, I did a lot of things… … One of them is the card game.

I even did pretty well.

“So I went to get it back now.”

And what I added is that Captain Calico didn’t want to let go of the ship, and this place became a mess.

“Actually, it was a fraudulent gamble. As it turned out, I was caught by the gamblers who moved from one territory to another, from city to city, running scams.”

“oh my… … .”

At that time, Ernest sighed.

When I asked why, a sad story came out.

“My father too… … Have you ever been through this before I don’t know if they are the same guys. In fact, when you wander around while exploring, everyone does that out of boredom.”

The victim was not far away.

by the way… … .

“What game is it?”

“Do you know ‘Jarbo’ by any chance?”

every know

It’s the most played and most familiar game.

The rules are easy to learn, but it’s a game that takes a long time to get good at.

And it’s also a game where the difference in skill between beginners and experts is the most significant.

If fraud is added there, there is no answer.

“By the way, I went to retrieve it. Is that possible?”

“Impossible.”

The owner shook his head.

“Maybe he’s having a good time right now. Everyone is dry… … .”

The captain has stolen the ship.

Perhaps that would be unbearable.

Because the country will too.

However, in the yard where the ship was taken away by a fraudulent gambler, it is absurd to get it back.

“I have to go.”

You need Captain Calico to go to Atalia Island.

“What are you going to do? Do you have any plans?”

I nodded at Leila’s question.

“There are two.”

first.

come back with power

I don’t know if you know it, but you should be able to steal it after subduing it lightly and quickly.

Since they are scammers, it will be difficult to resist.

“But if you cause trouble in the city, the departure may be delayed.”

The size of the opponent is also unknown, and problems may arise in the process.

This is not an academy, but a city we don’t know at all, so the probability of that is even higher.

That’s why fighting isn’t the best way, and it’s not the sure way.

“So what?”

I grinned.

“There is one way to pay back the same.”

“same… … ?”

“no way… … What are you going to do?”

“That’s it, go and get it. Everything including the boat.”

Get the ship back, bring the captain back.

In addition, our club dues are also increasing.

This is a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, the reaction of the other guys was not very different from that of the owner.

“how? Are you Dane?”

“What nonsense… … .”

“It’s a fraudulent gambler! A pro at gambling, a pro.”

“Sir, gambling is scary.”

I just grinned at those reactions.

In the meantime, the owner asked.

“By the way, what are you guys doing? I don’t think anyone here… … .”

“They are Imperial Academy students.”

After a short answer I asked.

“So, where is that Captain Calico now?”

* * *

Of course, people can’t fight all day, day after day.

Even for knights with good stamina, that is a matter of course.

The frontlines are always intense, but battles take turns.

So there were times when we fought for two days and nights, but there were also times when we rested for three days.

The battlefield is a boring place without combat.

This is especially so when the excitement subsides as time passes right after the battle ends.

Boredom, like that mad silence, dominates people, and in my previous life I did everything to appease that boredom… … .

All kinds of games are just that.

“Dane, do you really know how to play card games?”

I nodded at Leila’s question.

“huh.”

“No, I know how to play any card game… … Does that make sense?”

“Because I’m Dane, I think so… … Did your father train you to play card games when you were young?”

Layla and Ernest each respond with nonsense.

“But if you’re dealing with a fraudulent gambler… … You shouldn’t be very good at it.”

Well done.

Again, it does it very well.

To tell you the truth, I don’t have much of a history of losing in war tickets or any game that I bet on my personal supplies of the day.

So my subordinates have always been reluctant to play games with me. because every day Because of that, I remember often losing on purpose.

There… … .

Now, even the feeling of ancient magical power that can grasp the opponent’s breath, momentum, and sense of smell.

Here, too, magic.

If this is enough, it is not enough to respond to fraudulent gambling, but it is also possible to play the opposite way by adding my skills.

Meanwhile, Priscilla had something else to say.

“Dane, how about going back? I have room for self-mortification, so I can fill it up next vacation.”

I shook my head.

“You should try. And asceticism is also asceticism, don’t you know when the next opportunity will come?”

“That’s right… … Well, since you are, you must have a plan.”

Priscilla then smiled softly.

“If things don’t go well, shouldn’t we break everyone’s heads and get the captain and the boat back? Gambling gangsters, you have to be strong to be polite if you get hit in the head.”

Because it’s hot anyway.

That’s right.

If you really can’t do that, you can.

Problems must arise in the city, but it is not that there are no countermeasures for them.

Still, as we have our next schedule, it’s important to solve things without any special variables.

“Looks like there.”

We found a three-story building that doubled as an inn, much larger than the tavern we had been to earlier.

When I heard the eyes of the guys wandering around and the sound coming from inside, it was clear that there was.

“Who will come in?”

“me!”

Ernest quickly raised his hand.

“It’s not that I want to try it, it’s the first time I’ve seen it, so I thought it would be amazing!”

Yeah, he was a guy who liked anything new.

“I think it will only get complicated if we go. Priscilla, how are you?”

“I guess so. I can take a break while I have time.”

“Sir, then the three of us will set up a nearby lodging and wait.”

The rest of my friends just wait.

Only Ernest and I decided to go in, and we went straight into the inn.

“Let’s finish quickly and come.”

There is room, but not enough.

Upon entering, it is an ordinary landscape no different from any other inn.

However, as it is a port city, there was quite a fishy smell, and there were many rough-looking men claiming to be ‘sea men’.

They all looked at us.

Although she is not wearing a school uniform, her white skin and clean clothes, which are hard to find here, draw attention.

Of course, I didn’t care if I did or not, I went to the counter and asked the person who looked like the innkeeper.

“I heard that there’s an interesting game going on in the basement.”

“… … What are you doing?”

After all, there is no way that a good response will come back.

I took out the gift I prepared.

One crown silver coin.

“With this, I think we can expect a kinder response.”

There is no need to make a fuss from the start.

After all, if it was a gambling house, it would have prepared at least a hole to get out of, and if there was a problem here, you could miss the scammers.

“… … Aren’t they little ones?”

“Let’s just say I’ve had a bit of a life in the world.”

The innkeeper had a puzzled look on his face, but he readily accepted it, perhaps thanks to my willingness to hand over the silver coin.

“Looks like a foreigner… … well, yes The more guests, the better.”

Unsurprisingly, any innkeeper would have been associated with underground gambling.

There is a market going on in your own store, how can you not know? There’s going to be some take-and-eat, so they’ll think we’ll be robbed.

“Turn around the right corner and go.”

We just passed the counter and turned the corner.

And I faced two men guarding the door, and they opened the door without saying anything.

Stairs leading to the basement.

“You two go in.”

A sound heard through the crack in the closed door while going downstairs.

Two hogu go, what does that mean?

“Dane, are you nervous?”

“A new experience?”

“then!”

I sighed, imagining Ernest, who would soon open his mouth in surprise.

just as expected.

When the door opened and a panoramic view of ‘Pan’ finally appeared, Ernest seemed at a loss for words.

“this… … what… … .”

Cloudy smoke floating in the air.

Thanks to the turbid air and visibility.

However, close to ten tables and dozens of people clinging to them were clearly visible.

“This is my first time here… … .”

gambling.

A place inseparable from human history.

In particular, it is boring like a port city, and especially in the barren environment of the north, there is no play like this.

Of course, it was the same on the battlefield.

And like a game that makes you lose your mind once you fall in, there was not a single person who paid attention this way.

Where should I see you?

“found.”

I saw Captain Calico not far away.

It matches the impression the innkeeper said.

Uneasy eyes, trembling hands, rough breathing.

finally… … .

Unlike the others, I see the stakes almost falling.

“It’s almost over.”

As soon as words were spoken, cheers erupted.

“ha ha ha! This one, you’re out of luck. what about this Did you win by one margin?”

“Ouch… … .”

The few remaining stakes are swept away, and now the money in front of Captain Calico is a few pitiful silver coins.

“How are you going to do it again? I’m sorry for this, I should be able to see your face. It must be heartbreaking, but do you think it would be better to go up and have a drink?”

“This, this, we robbed them all, so what? Ha ha ha ha ha.”

The total number of guys mocking and laughing is four.

It’s still a fraudulent gamble, but since you fought 1v4, do you have a chance to win?

This is why you shouldn’t even start gambling in the first place.

Gambling for fun doesn’t exist.

In that sense… … .

Shall I brush it off?

a while before that.

“Ernest.”

“huh?”

“If there is a dangerous situation, activate this first.”

I handed over the self-defense equipment I had taken out in advance.

It is disposable and has little destructive power, but it is a device that creates a magnetic field within a radius of 0.5m.

Then there will be a gap, and it will be simple for me to save Ernest in case of emergency.

“Okay then.”

I approached the table.

And with all the mixed emotions, I stood next to Captain Calico, who seemed unable to get up.

“what? The board is over now.”

One glared at me, but I answered generously.

“It seems like there is a seat.”

Then he deliberately looked at Captain Calico with a sneer.

“Do you have any more money?”

“… … .”

Captain Calico clenched his fists in anger, but then sighed and jumped up from his seat.

“I will bring you more money. In the meantime.”

At those words, the faces of the guys turn bright.

“Oops, wasn’t that money raised by selling the rights? Is there any place to get more money?”

“That’s something I’ll figure out… … I will definitely get the boat back.”

Captain Calico then glared at them for a moment before leaving.

Good timing.

“There, the seat just happened to be empty. Until that captain arrives, we’ll have a fight.”

“Good. It’s not fun when one person is missing. I like it.”

“Do you have any money by the way? The plate here is a little big.”

One guy smirked, so I took out the pouch I had prepared in advance.

“… … !”

“… … Whoa.”

Inside are dozens of gold coins.

“Will this be enough?”

“flaw. not enough.”

I tossed my bag on the table and sat down.

Their eyes are now fixed on their pockets and they don’t know how to leave.

Maybe you want to know what kind of hogu this is.

It appeared out of nowhere and put dozens of gold coins on it.

“Since it’s the first edition, three. Do I have to pay the participation fee?”

Instead of replying, I bounced a gold coin and dropped it right in the middle of the table.

Took.

“Hehe. okay. It’s hot.”

Alright then.

Where should I eat it?
