    Chapter 80

    Episode 80

    The Marchioness gave the money.

    After Chris left, I heard the sound of all kinds of furniture being smashed, but I didn’t care.

    ‘That’s the kind of temper your son has. Instead of harming others, educate your son properly.’

    Chris clicked his tongue.

    Anyway, he took the money and went to the gambling house on top of Rudolph’s run by Ruina.

    ‘I can ask Ruina for money, but I feel bad about asking her every time. Let’s pay properly this time.’

    I’m so kind.

    With these thoughts in mind, Chris became absorbed in gambling.

    This time I was serious.

    Because I have to earn money.

    So, I made up my mind and ate it all up.

    “5 consecutive even numbers!!”

    “No, that kind of pattern comes out again?! It’s a 0.000078% chance?!”

    “This is ridiculous! How many consecutive wins has this been?!”

    “Isn’t that a scam?!”

    “A fraud! Who is that person! Isn’t he the new divinity of the Dark Maga, Prince Christian?!”

    People who came to the casino shouted in shock.

    A pile of money was piled up in front of Chris.

    Chris whistled.

    ‘Is this a scam? If it weren’t a scam, it would be impossible to get ripped off like this through gambling.’

    But if you don’t get caught, it’s a jackpot.

    The managers of the gambling house, who had become obsessed with gambling, tried to figure out Chris’s methods, but it was impossible to figure out Chris’s fraudulent methods, which had once robbed even the gambling king of the Federation.

    How much did you lose after that?

    A familiar voice was heard.

    “…Please stop.”

    A voice that sounds somewhat tired.

    The owner of this gambling house, Ruina, appears.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    Ruina took Chris up to the hotel room attached to the casino.

    As soon as she returned to her room, Ruina took off her male disguise and spoke in a seething voice.

    “…What the hell is this?”

    “What the hell are you doing? Are you gambling?”

    “You ripped off 3 million rupees through gambling? Even a gambling king wouldn’t do something like that in good conscience!”

    “Because I needed money. I felt bad for always owing you money, so this time I tried to pay you with my own money.”

    “…What the hell… What if you rob my casino while paying for it?!”

    Ruina shouted out loud.

    His speech has become much rougher since we first met.

    It was because of the money Chris had ripped off.

    ‘It wasn’t long ago that they stole 5 million rupees worth of elixirs, saying they were going to offer it to Nogaju!’

    Ruina grumbled.

    But it was not the time to get angry.

    “Wait a minute, so you’re saying you came here to rip me off again?”

    “I’m not ripping you off, I’m going to pay you properly this time. Here’s 3 million rupees, so can you get me the supplies I need?”

    “Kyaaah! Isn’t that the money I stole from the casino?! You evil prince!”

    In the end, he was going to take Ruina’s treasures again without spending another penny.

    “No way! Don’t do it!! Whether or not there’s a war between the Magic Empire and the Alliance!”

    Ruina stuck her stomach out.

    When I first met her, she was a calm and composed woman who boasted great beauty, but seeing her ruined in such a short period of time made me feel resentful of all the times she had been torn apart.

    ‘Well, I did get ripped off a lot in a short period of time. But it’s nothing compared to what Ruina did to me in my previous life.’

    Even though she looked like that, Ruina was definitely not an honest merchant.

    In the first place, there’s no way an honest merchant would be running an auction house.

    Ruina was also a great evil merchant who would cut off the nose of her opponent if he was easy. Chris had suffered from this several times in his previous life.

    Of course, the amount of money Chris lost at that time was small compared to the amount Ruina is losing now, but at that time, Chris lost all of his assets. So, Chris confidently thought that the damage he suffered was much greater.

    ‘Anyway, Ruina is a money-grubber who values money more than life.’

    Because he’s a money bug.

    She had no choice but to always be his slave.

    Chris threw her another bait to try.

    “Where I’m going is the underground garden?”

    “!!”

    Ruina stood still.

    Suddenly her tone of speech changed.

    Gentle, polite and kind.

    “What did you just say, Your Majesty?”

    “Well, I don’t want to answer because I’m a bad person.”

    “Oh ho ho. Just kidding. Who would dare say something like that to our great Majesty Christian Prince, who is so handsome, cool, and wonderful that it almost makes your eyes pop? What a terrible mouth. Tsk.”

    Ruina slapped her lips with her hand.

    Chris chuckled.

    “I’m going to the underground garden. I thought it would be a good deal for your upper class, but if you don’t like it, then I can’t help it. I’ll go look for somewhere else.”

    “No, no! Wait, stop! Please wait!”

    The underground garden has many different names.

    It was called the ‘Garden of Cultivation’ among practitioners, and the ‘Treasure Garden’ among explorers.

    There were countless treasures, relics, and artifacts sleeping there.

    ‘Although most of them have already been excavated, new treasures, artifacts, and relics appear from time to time. They are all items of great collectible value. The problem is that they are just a pie in the sky for outsiders.’

    All items that came out of the underground garden were owned by the Maga of Destruction.

    Even if visitors happened to find treasures, they had to hand them over to the Destroyer.

    It is impossible to steal it because it goes beyond just searching through their clothes, completely strips them naked, and then searches the inside of their body using high-level black magic.

    If an attempt to steal the treasure was discovered, it would be summarily executed, but Chris’s case was different.

    ‘I can steal as much treasure as I want. But you can’t strip me naked and check on me, the prince of the Dark Magic.’

    That’s why Ruina is acting like that.

    Because obtaining the treasures of the underground garden is one of the wishes of treasure collectors.

    “Oh ho ho. What do you need? Just tell me. I’ll search through both the Rudolph Top and the Deer Top to get it for you.”

    “I don’t plan on taking it for free. I’ll pay for it.”

    “Three million rupees? That’s fine. If you share the treasures of the underground garden, that’s enough.”

    “No, but I guess I should accept it? What I need this time is a bit expensive.”

    “…….”

    Ruina’s smile disappeared.

    Chris had never once said anything like this to her while picking on her.

    ‘What on earth are you trying to steal this time?’

    She forced a smile.

    “Hey, if you need something like armor or a magic sword, would you be able to lend it to me?”

    “It’s not that kind of thing.”

    “…What on earth do you need?”

    Chris blurted out.

    “Scissors of space.”

    “…yes?”

    “Oh, don’t you know what I mean when I say it like this? The scissors of the great wizard Lenin.”

    “…….”

    Ruina shut her mouth firmly.

    embrace.

    What Chris means by this.

    but.

    “…Isn’t that something worth over ten million rupees?!”

    Ruina screamed again.

    Yes, that’s right.

    Chris was now requesting the most advanced artifact ever created by humans, an item with relic-like abilities.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    The difference between artifacts and relics was simple.

    If made by humans, it is an artifact.

    If made by a constellation or a demon, it is a relic.

    The difference in performance was also clear.

    Even the lowest level artifacts had performance that was overwhelming compared to the highest level artifacts.

    It’s not for nothing that wars break out between powers when relics appear.

    However, occasionally, among the rare artifacts created by humans, there were some that had abilities comparable to relics.

    One of them was ‘Lenin’s Scissors’.

    ‘It’s a famous item. It has amazing performance, but… it’s actually useless.’

    An unexpected story.

    That was exactly what it said.

    Lenin’s scissors could cut through space.

    To be exact, it was possible to cut through space and move.

    It can be used almost like a ‘gate’.

    As expected from an item made by a legendary great wizard who reached the 9th star, it has incredible abilities.

    But in reality, it had no practical use.

    It was due to the difficulty of calculating spatial coordinates.

    ‘Because calculating spatial coordinates for long-distance movement is not something that can be done with the human mind.’

    It wasn’t a question of achievement.

    It was the limit of humanity.

    Long-distance spatial travel takes place through subspace, and countless unpredictable variables appear and disappear, making it impossible for a human mind, whether a wizard or not, to calculate them.

    ‘There are a very small number of archmages who can teleport long distances on their own, but they can only do so using tools that assist in calculating coordinates.’

    Lenin’s scissors had no such calculating aid.

    It only had the function of cutting out a blank space.

    The user had to calculate an infinite number of variables themselves to get to the desired location, which was virtually impossible unless they were a great wizard who specialized in the field of space.

    A space-type archmage wouldn’t need something like this.

    So, despite its incredible performance, it is a useless item.

    “Don’t be too sorry. Even if you have it, no one will buy it anyway. Even if someone buys it for cheap, you should be grateful, so be grateful that I am using it for you like this. In return, I will bring you a good treasure from the underground garden.”

    Ruina pursed her lips.

    A face that bursts with anger.

    But Chris’s words weren’t entirely wrong.

    Even if I had it, it would just be something that would rot in the warehouse, so it was beneficial to use it for trading with Chris like this.

    Is it because she’s a money grabber, or is it because she simply hates Christian?

    ‘Ugh. How much did I pay for that! My ten million rupees!’

    Ruina said, swallowing her tears.

    “…Please give me even 3 million rupees.”

    Even though the 3 million rupees were stolen from his own gambling house, he felt that he would feel less resentful if he received at least this.

    Still, well, strictly speaking, it wasn’t a deal where Ruina lost money.

    Because the opportunity to obtain the treasures of the underground garden never came easily.

    If not this time, you will never get another chance.

    Above all, the treasures of the underground garden are so valuable that if done well, you could make a fortune far exceeding your investment.

    After that, Chris spent his time playing around while Ruina prepared the supplies she needed.

    ‘I’ve been working too hard lately. People need to rest when they can! But when will I ever get to drink alcohol! I hate ginger!’

    Chris frowned as he looked at the ginger ale in one hand.

    Even after becoming a Confucius, he still remained a ginger ale.

    Finally, preparations were completed.

    “…You must bring me treasure. Not just any treasure, but good treasure. No, it must be expensive treasure! If you don’t bring me the treasure, I will really sue you for damages! No dark magic or anything!”

    Chris chuckled as he watched Ruina continue to grumble.

    “Okay, wait. Oh, I have something to tell you. You’re going to do business with Gold Cross, right?”

    “…Of course that is so, right?”

    Among the two upper ranks of Ruina, the Deer upper rank is active against the backdrop of the Union.

    “Then, keep a close eye on the Gold Cross’s movements in the future. Especially the Dharma Kingdom.”

    “…If it’s the country of law, then it’s the place where the ‘cursed prince’ died and caused a stir not long ago? You mean that?”
