I really just want to hang out in the magic world.

——"The guys in the other towers will definitely not comply, right?"

"You have to comply even if you don't want to! Otherwise, we won't trade with them."

"Likewise, trading in stolen goods is prohibited!"

---"oh……"

--"Forehead……"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

——"No, no, Sarkoda, haha."

Of course, even though the students of the Black Turtle Tower were somewhat dissatisfied, Sarkoda's deterrent power did make other problems disappear.

After listening to all the explanations, Ruan Xiaozhe said indignantly:

"In the final analysis, it's because of a few scoundrels that the honest people suffer. Those guys in the White Tiger Tower are making thieves like you and me starve to death."

"That's it!"

Ratford nodded heavily in agreement.

"It's been tough, Rutterford, so what are you doing now?"

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm still selling stolen goods on the sly."

Ruan Xiaozhe felt a little bit of admiration for Ratford's understatement.

As expected of a professional thief, he was able to create another black market within the black market...

"Of course, we can't do it openly, so the scale is much smaller... But I'm still doing other things."

"Other things?"

As he spoke, Ratford pointed to a corner of the black market, where several students from the Black Turtle Tower were sitting, doing things that had nothing to do with trading.

"Look, look carefully. There are three cards here, one of which is the Emperor Card. I will turn them over and shuffle them... If you find the Emperor Card, you can get double your money back."

Ruan Xiaozhe finally understood. After turning over the three cards, he quickly changed their positions in his hand. If he found the Emperor Card, he could win back double the bet.

...Isn’t this just gambling!

“Is gambling okay?”

"Although Tutankhamun didn't like gambling, he still allowed it. After all, if even this was banned, everyone would be very dissatisfied."

Judging from the proportion of criminals, the Black Turtle Tower has the most, because most people from the Thieves Guild, Gambling Guild, etc. will enter the Black Turtle Tower.

Sarkoda also knew this, so he turned a blind eye to this gambling game.

In addition to the card games, there were various other activities such as chess games for money and locksmith services (which seemed to be Ratford's job).

"This is not a magic school, it's an adventurer's guild, right?"

at this time--

"Ahhh! My bread! My three days' bread!"

"S-Sorry, I tried my best to shuffle the cards slowly..."

Ruan Xiaozhe looked over and saw a student from the White Tiger Tower crying and holding his head in his hands, obviously having lost all his fortune.

"Don't lose heart, Dukema. It was just bad luck this time. Try again!"

"That's right! It's not difficult, I'm sure I can win this time!"

Ruan Xiaozhe looked at the student setting up the stall and suddenly felt that he looked familiar.

That was the giant half-blood he had seen in Professor Mortum's dark magic class - Ymirgar!

Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but feel a little impressed.

"Indeed, if it were a giant, the opponent would let down their guard."

Anyone who saw it would think that Imirg's huge hands looked clumsy and slow.

But Ruan Xiaozhe clearly saw the tricks that Imilger played when he shuffled the cards.

"What a great craft." He couldn't help but admire.

In this magical world, many people tend to think that magic tricks that rely on skills and techniques are useless.

However, there are still some people who have mastered this craft.

They are the gamblers of the gambling guild.

Since cheating with magic was easily discovered, they used pure skill to win.

Ruan Xiaozhe guessed that Imilger might have come from a gambling guild.

"Don't bet against Imilger."

Ratford misunderstood Ruan Xiaozhe's gaze and gave a warning.

Even someone like Ratford, who had some skills, had never defeated Imirger, which made the latter invincible in the Black Turtle Tower.

"I have no interest in gambling, Ratford, I just find it interesting and am just watching."

As he spoke, Ruan Xiaozhe clenched his fist in front of Ratford, opened it, and clenched his fist again. In an instant, a coin in his hand disappeared.

Seeing this, Ratford said in surprise:

"It is indeed Lord Vodanaz! I have long felt that you have an outstanding talent for thieves, and now it seems to be true!"

"Don't let others hear such words. It's very embarrassing."

A simple coin magic actually surprised him so much, which made Ruan Xiaozhe feel a little embarrassed.

"No, Lord Vodanaz. With skills like these, you can definitely take your place here."

"..."

Hearing this, Ruan Xiaozhe was moved for a moment.

Ratford's suggestion does sound reasonable.

"Did I practice these skills in my spare time in my previous life just for this moment?" Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but think, "I practiced these skills... just to take bread and meat from the pockets of the White Tiger Tower students..."

"But I'm from another tower after all." Thinking that he was not from the Black Turtle Tower, Ruan Xiaozhe sighed and said.

"I'll talk to everyone. There are a lot of friends who owe you favors. It's okay." Ratford patted his chest and comforted him.

However, before Ratford could get up, Sarkoda appeared from behind.

At this time, standing behind him were the Black Turtle Tower students mentioned earlier, all of whom lowered their heads like prisoners.

"Vodanaz, I later asked my friends here, and they said it was indeed free food."

"These are talkative guys."

Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but curse the students of the Black Turtle Tower in his heart.

It's useless to not stick to your lies. Really!

Compared with them, Ruan Xiaozhe is different. He is confident that he can keep up the lie until the end of the world.

"That can't be helped. Our family motto is 'give alms when you are hungry'."

Even when he was talking nonsense, Ruan Xiaozhe had the ability to convince people.

Hearing this, the students present couldn't help but be convinced and nodded one after another.

it is as expected!

No wonder Vodanazi always treats other friends to food…

"I am not here to blame you, Vodanaz. This is not your fault. I am here to apologize for my friends. They have behaved irresponsibly, like lazy nobles or reckless knights."

Sarkoda bowed his head and apologized, and the students of the Black Turtle Tower also quietly bowed their heads.

At this time, other students outside the black market shouted in dissatisfaction:

"That's too much!"

"A lazy noble? You don't understand how hard it is to be a noble!"

"Do you know how heavy our honor and responsibility as knights are?!"

"Although we are friends from the same tower, these people are really annoying." After listening to their words, Ruan Xiaozhe almost stood on Sarkoda's side.

These people are shameless and have no conscience...

But Sarkoda simply pretended not to hear them and completely ignored them.

"Although we want them to pay for their food, they can't afford a penny now," Sarkoda said helplessly.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Ruan Xiaozhe waved his hand.

Every time the students of the Azure Dragon Tower received help from Ruan Xiaozhe, his small account book would record the silver coins that the other party had to pay, but Ruan Xiaozhe had no intention of doing the same to the students of the Black Turtle Tower.

"No, I'll pay for them," Sarkoda insisted.

"!"

Ruan Xiaozhe was shocked.

This elf is actually going to pay for them? !

"It seems that the Tutantha family is indeed rich."

After all, they are a famous stonemason guild family in the empire, it is impossible for them to be without money.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but start thinking about how much the pot of tomato and vegetable stew cost last time...

"I heard that you, Vodanaz, were walking around the college at night. Is that true?" Sarkoda suddenly asked.

"I don't know what ridiculous rumor you have heard, but it is completely false." Ruan Xiaozhe refuted it righteously.

"..."

"..."

The students from the Azure Dragon Tower and White Tiger Tower outside the black market were stunned when they heard this.

"This guy is so shameless..."

"Does the Vodanazi family even have a face training method?"

Although Ruan Xiaozhe denied it, Sarkoda continued firmly: "I have some information that may be helpful to you."

"!"
