Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

However, it wasn't entirely without any gains.

Now that it's confirmed that there are indeed monsters in Kanriel City, we have a direction for the next step of our investigation.

That's why my teacher said there were no monsters in Kanriel City.

Moreover... someone should know the origin of that tall man. Luo Xiu looked at the unconscious Alger beside him.

He walked over and took Alger's magic pocket off.

When you open it, there's nothing inside except 150 gold coins.

If what the tall man said is true, then all of Alger's belongings must have been used to pay off debts.

Snapped--

Luo Xiu slapped Alger across the face.

Alger suddenly woke up and saw Luo Xiu's face. He seemed to be still in shock, thinking he was dreaming, and sat on the ground, backing away repeatedly.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was real, but then suddenly felt something was wrong and looked around in horror:

"Has he...has he left?"

It's hard to imagine that such a burly and fierce man's voice was trembling at this moment.

"gone."

Luo Xiu nodded.

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, Alger let out a long sigh of relief, then collapsed as if all his strength had been drained.

"It's good that you're gone, it's good that you're gone."

"But I haven't left yet."

As soon as Luo Xiu finished speaking, Alger immediately sat up again, looked at Luo Xiu, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes:

"Just tell me what you want, and please spare my life."

"Is now not the time to take my life?"

Luo Xiu shook Alger's magic pouch in his hand:

"What I want is not important; what's important is that you seem to have nothing."

Alger's face darkened after being hit where it hurt:

"Yes, we lost some."

After saying that, he looked up at Luo Xiu, clasped his hands together, and pleaded:

"Sir, could you please return the 150 gold coins I borrowed? Once I've recouped my losses, I'll double it and give you 300 gold coins."

Luo Xiu's eyes flickered slightly:

"Break even? How do you break even?"

"Let's go to the inner city, to the Gold Rush Casino!"

When the words "money-making casino" were mentioned, Alger's eyes seemed to light up, and his breathing became a little rapid:

"My permit to enter the inner city still has three months of validity remaining. Trust me, I'm sure I can win this time."

"A money-making casino?"

Luo Xiu spoke:

"Where was that tall man from?"

"Yes."

Alger swallowed hard.

"He is a debt collector for the Gold Rush Casino."

Soon, through Alger's narration, Luo Xiu understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Alger had originally prepared a sum of money in advance to buy the Blood of the Silver Dragon in order to increase his chances of winning the tournament.

But the auction was still a long way off, and he had had enough of his ascetic practices, so he went for a stroll in the inner city. According to him, the inner city was the most interesting place he had ever been, and the most interesting thing in the inner city was the Gold Casino.

He originally wanted to use his initial investment to earn enough money to buy a complete set of Tier 4 equipment, but after winning just a few rounds, his luck took a sharp turn for the worse, and he lost everything.

Having no other choice, he went back to his teacher, the dean of the Berserker Academy, and got some money, lying that he had used the money to buy other high-level items.

His teacher naturally had no doubts, paid the money for him, and even went to communicate with Rivers of the Chamber of Commerce to try to secure the bottle of Silver Dragon Blood.

Unexpectedly, after Alger received the money, he couldn't resist going into the inner city a few days ago, intending to just play a few rounds. He ended up completely in an abyss.

He not only lost all the money he borrowed from his teacher, but also owed the casino a large sum of money.

Finally, with nowhere else to turn, he could only borrow money from the casino for something similar to the Silver Dragon's Blood, thinking that once he bought the Silver Dragon's Blood, as long as he won the tournament, everything would be alright. That's how the scene at the auction came about.

After hearing Alger's story.

Luo Xiu could only say one thing: gambling addicts never have a good end.

"So, that tall man is definitely an employee of the Golden Casino, and not something else?"

Luo Xiu asked.

"Something else?"

Alger looked puzzled.

From the beginning, Luo Xiu said that the tall man was a monster, but he didn't really understand. He was a native of Kanriel and had never heard of monsters in Kanriel City, let alone that the tall man came from the inner city of Kanriel.

And I've never seen a monster that's as tall as a man.

Seeing Alger's puzzled look, Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with scrutiny, and he made a rough judgment.

It seems that Alger doesn't understand what monsters are.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Alger didn't understand, then perhaps his teacher truly didn't understand either.

Chapter 122 The teacher didn't lie to me

"Sir, please give me my 150 gold coins. I will definitely pay you back double after I win money."

Alger was now a completely different person from his previous arrogant and fierce self, and he pleaded with Luo Xiu.

"Just once, I'm sure I can turn things around this time."

"You still don't give up?"

Luo Xiu glanced at Alger and said:

"Those people are hunting you down. These 150 gold coins are their money, and you're planning to take their money back to gamble?"

Alger's behavior was no longer that of a simple gambler; being chased by the casino yet still thinking of going back to make more money, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was completely out of his mind.

Logically speaking, there's no reason for a fourth-tier being to be so addicted to gambling. It can only mean that there must be something strange about that money-making casino.

"It's okay, as long as I bring enough money back, they will definitely let me sit at the table again."

Alger's expression was very certain.

How did you get enough money?

Luo Xiu asked.

“Go borrow it. I have many friends, and... there will always be a way.”

When the topic turned to the idea that there was always a way, Alger's eyes regained their usual fierceness, and he made no attempt to hide the hostility in his words.

Seeing his appearance, Luo Xiu guessed his general idea: he wanted to do something that wasn't prohibited by the Canril Convention.

"I think you seem a little confused about the situation."

Luo Xiu's eyes were cold, and his aura naturally emanated from him.

Alger's face trembled from the oppressive force, his eyes widened in terror, and his fierce aura vanished instantly, even his gaze becoming clearer.

"The issue now is whether I kill you or not, not whether I give you the money or not."

grunt.

Alger swallowed hard.

"Then, then I don't want it. I only beg you to be merciful."

Luo Xiu smiled:

"I'll let you go, but give me 100 gold coins."

"I... I have no money left, I really have no money left."

Alger's face was grim.

"Aren't you going to the casino to make money? Just give it to me when you've earned it."

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, Alger breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening somewhat. However, Luo Xiu then abruptly changed the subject:

"But how will I be able to find you then?"

"This is easy to handle."

Alger asked Luo Xiu for an empty glass bottle, picked up a piece of gravel from the ground, and slashed it hard across his muscular arm.

Fresh blood dripped down, filling the glass bottle.

Alger handed the glass bottle to Rosh:

"With so much blood, it's enough for you to track me down. You just need to use some tracking tools or find someone with prophetic abilities."

Luo Xiu nodded and put the glass bottle away.

"You go."

"Really?"

Alger was overjoyed and looked at Luo Xiu in disbelief, seemingly not expecting that Luo Xiu would actually let him go.

"You can leave if you don't want to."
